1:44
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, there have been a couple of times I've helped you a little bit, but most of these he comes up with and they're amazing.
1:51
SPEAKER_01: This one's kind of fun since we're going on this topic.
1:54
SPEAKER_01: Um I I I know it could be anything from you know, what's your favorite shoelace color to what day of the week would you sleep in the most?
2:04
SPEAKER_01: I know it could be anything in between, right?
2:06
SPEAKER_01: Right.
2:07
SPEAKER_01: So let's get it.
2:08
SPEAKER_00: Man, it this is a good one.
2:10
SPEAKER_00: It made me laugh, and then I was like, shit, I have to think of something too.
2:14
SPEAKER_00: You're gonna ask like what's coming back.
2:17
SPEAKER_00: All right, so here's your here's your question.
2:18
SPEAKER_00: All right, here we go.
2:19
SPEAKER_00: It's obviously hypothetical, and we love Resident Evil, yes, you know, zombies.
2:25
SPEAKER_00: Eric, the zombie apocalypse is coming.
2:27
SPEAKER_00: Oh no.
2:28
SPEAKER_00: What three people are on your team and why?
2:34
SPEAKER_00: Oh, god damn.
2:36
SPEAKER_00: Real life, fictional, past, present, uh, it doesn't matter.
2:43
SPEAKER_01: That's a good question, right?
2:45
SPEAKER_01: Um, this is gonna sound crazy, but I don't think I would take anybody from my life now.
2:55
SPEAKER_01: Because we're already in a zombie apocalypse.
2:57
SPEAKER_01: And I and as much as I would want to be with the people I love, I don't think I would rather be, this is gonna sound crazy.
3:05
SPEAKER_01: I would rather be at the point where I've already like I don't know where they're at or something already happened, because I don't want to have to like like it I okay, let me explain it better.
3:19
SPEAKER_01: If I were to bring just my friends or my family or people I love, we're not gonna last a week.
3:24
SPEAKER_00: No, no, we're screwed.
3:25
SPEAKER_01: Um, so rather than have to deal with knowing I would be the cause of them dying, I would rather it be at a point where something they're safe somewhere, maybe they died, maybe we lost contact.
3:36
SPEAKER_01: So I'm just gonna go with three people that would help me survive it.
3:38
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
3:39
SPEAKER_01: Um first I this is gonna be a little odd, but I just know he knows his way around uh um creatures.
3:54
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna say Blade.
3:55
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
3:56
SPEAKER_01: Um he's a d he he's a daywalker.
3:59
SPEAKER_01: Um he has all kinds of crazy fucking digits and gasmos, and because of uh Whistler, uh, I don't know if you guys have have watched the movies, but because of people like Whistler, um he could um I think he could be very effective.
4:15
SPEAKER_01: I know he kills vampires, but you know, without being able to think and research, I gotta go off the top of my head.
4:20
SPEAKER_01: And he was the first one that popped in my head.
4:22
SPEAKER_01: So that's fair.
4:23
SPEAKER_01: He he he'll be my first.
4:24
SPEAKER_01: Badass.
4:24
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
4:25
SPEAKER_01: Uh uh, and and I I I think we'll bounce back and forth because I'm gonna still have to keep thinking for for the other two.
4:32
SPEAKER_01: So uh yeah, first I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go blade because I think like he doesn't need it, like finding food isn't an issue for him because he'll just feed off of the zombies.
4:43
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, um, I mean, depending upon I'm assuming nothing can happen to these people.
4:49
SPEAKER_01: I mean, they can die, but like if he needs their blood, it won't like infect him and he'll die.
4:54
SPEAKER_01: So uh I won't have to feed him um all that kind of good stuff, and whether it's night or day, he can he doesn't sleep.
5:03
SPEAKER_01: So I I just think that would be a good choice.
5:06
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's a good choice.
5:07
SPEAKER_01: So, what would be your first choice, man?
5:08
SPEAKER_01: This was a good ass question.
5:09
SPEAKER_01: That's a good question.
5:10
SPEAKER_00: I like this, yeah.
5:11
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna go real life person, even though he just passed away.
5:14
SPEAKER_00: Oh I'm gonna go Chuck Norris, bro.
5:16
SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, yeah, you win.
5:18
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, there's no yeah, there you're not you're not gonna find a better yeah, yeah.
5:23
SPEAKER_01: Chuck's gonna fuck them all up with no weapons nonetheless.
5:26
SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
5:27
SPEAKER_00: That's a good that's a good pick.
5:28
SPEAKER_00: Just gonna tear zombies' heads off and shit down their necks, be like, die.
5:33
SPEAKER_00: Right.
5:34
SPEAKER_00: No, that's a good one.
5:35
SPEAKER_00: Um, I think it'd be super badass.
5:37
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, just to watch him fucking kick in and punch the zombies, left him, right?
5:42
SPEAKER_01: That would be hilarious, kicking domes off.
5:45
SPEAKER_01: Um I guess for my second one.
5:49
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I gotta go with somebody that that knows knows how to handle zombies.
5:55
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
5:56
SPEAKER_01: I gotta go Leon.
5:57
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, nice.
5:58
SPEAKER_01: I mean, the dude survived 90 different fucking situations.
6:02
SPEAKER_01: He knows his way around them.
6:04
SPEAKER_01: He doesn't panic in those situations.
6:06
SPEAKER_01: So I think with that one, I'm gonna I'm gonna go Leon from Resident Evil.
6:11
SPEAKER_01: I think that would be, you know, I got somebody that can really go out and and and hunt like Blade, and then I got, you know, Leon would know how to barricade.
6:23
SPEAKER_01: He knows how to do all that shit.
6:25
SPEAKER_01: So he would be that would be the second one to to my team.
6:29
SPEAKER_01: So so who's your second?
6:37
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
6:38
SPEAKER_00: I went, I guess, real life uh first pick.
6:43
SPEAKER_00: I think second pick, I'm probably gonna go anybody from Walking Dead, even though I wasn't the biggest fan of that show.
6:49
SPEAKER_01: I never I seen episodes here and there, but yeah, as much as I love like zombies and shit like that, I never got into it.
6:55
SPEAKER_01: I don't know why.
6:55
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
6:56
SPEAKER_00: I watched a few episodes in the beginning with my dad, and I love the I can't rem I can't ever remember the guy's name, but he he was also in uh Boondock Saints.
7:06
SPEAKER_00: And he was on Walking Dead, and he's like a badass in Walking Dead.
7:10
SPEAKER_00: I would I would take him.
7:11
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
7:11
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean that's what I mean.
7:12
SPEAKER_01: You definitely want somebody that would know their way around a zombie apocalypse.
7:17
SPEAKER_01: That's a good one.
7:18
SPEAKER_01: That's a good one.
7:19
SPEAKER_01: Um damn.
7:22
SPEAKER_01: I know this third one's gonna be.
7:30
SPEAKER_01: Hmm.
7:31
SPEAKER_01: Man.
7:31
SPEAKER_01: I'm trying to make it I'm trying to make it good because we're we're we're on air, but man, I'm I'm struggling for this.
7:37
SPEAKER_01: Cause I got a couple, but a few of them would just be like I thought Thanos, because I'm like, he could just go boom, and then half the fucking zombies would be gone.
7:46
SPEAKER_01: So but that would be too easy of a of a right so I think if I go that was better than I thought it was.
8:00
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm I'm struggling.
8:02
SPEAKER_01: Um you know what I'm gonna go with?
8:10
SPEAKER_01: Who's that?
8:12
SPEAKER_01: I think I'm gonna go where Darth Maul.
8:22
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
8:22
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
8:23
SPEAKER_01: Solid choice.
8:24
SPEAKER_01: Well, I started to think I'm like, who's somebody that can really like if if you get surrounded, can really Yeah, yeah, can really he can use the force.
8:33
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so I'm gonna go Darth Maul.
8:35
SPEAKER_00: Um that's why I went Chuck Norris, because he's yeah, he would just roundhouse the shit out of zombies.
8:40
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
8:41
SPEAKER_01: Um yeah, I'm gonna go Darth Maul.
8:43
SPEAKER_01: He has the force, he has that double-sided lightsaber, so that'll help and chop and throw it.
8:48
SPEAKER_01: Right, right.
8:49
SPEAKER_01: So I think I got a pretty diverse crew.
8:52
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I like that I like your answers.
8:53
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
8:54
SPEAKER_01: So who was your last?
8:56
SPEAKER_00: I'm actually gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna go real life person, and I think there was this show on Discovery Channel years ago.
9:04
SPEAKER_00: It was called Dual Survival.
9:06
SPEAKER_00: And one of the original hosts on that show, I actually really like the guy.
9:12
SPEAKER_00: And I follow him on on YouTube and you know, some of his socials on top of that.
9:16
SPEAKER_00: His name is Cody Lundine, and he's like a a modern day hippie, basically.
9:22
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
9:22
SPEAKER_00: He hasn't worn shoes in like 30 years.
9:24
SPEAKER_00: Oh wow.
9:25
SPEAKER_00: You know, but I think just on the pure survival aspect of it, you know, he could start friction fire, you know, he he could hunt and gather, he can do all that survival stuff that would help us uh continue to survive.
9:40
SPEAKER_00: So I think I'd have to go with him.
9:43
SPEAKER_01: I mean having a survivalist is not a bad way to go, you know, especially if you get stuck in a situation where like, you know, you can't go into a building and you need a fire and you have to forage and stuff like that.
9:55
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that was that's a good pick.
9:57
SPEAKER_01: That would be a good um person to have in your in your team.
10:02
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I don't want to be hungry.
10:03
SPEAKER_01: Right.
10:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, definitely not that.
10:05
SPEAKER_01: Um interesting.
10:08
SPEAKER_01: Uh and and don't quote me on the college, and when I make the video, I'll look it up to double because obviously I didn't know where you were gonna go with the question.
10:16
SPEAKER_01: But I want to say it's Miami University in Florida actually has a zombie apocalypse plan in there like legitly interesting.
10:28
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, uh I I I don't know if it still exists, but I I I'm almost positive there was a time that they had protocol in effect if that were to happen, which is hilarious when you think about it.
10:38
SPEAKER_01: But is that like Cold War duck and cover, like under your desk?
10:42
SPEAKER_01: No, I it's actually if my and and again, if I'm correct, it's re it's like from like the 90s, early 2000s.
10:47
SPEAKER_01: Like it's not light from years ago, it's like a more recent thing.
10:50
SPEAKER_00: So that makes me sad for the human race.
10:53
SPEAKER_00: No wonder the zombies would easily win.
10:56
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
10:57
SPEAKER_01: Half of us wouldn't believe it was real.
10:59
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no kidding.
11:00
SPEAKER_00: They'd be like, oh, this is I'm being pranked.
11:02
SPEAKER_00: Of course, then again, with the youngest generation out there, the zombies would just pass them by because they would go brains and go, oh.
11:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it would be sad faced.
11:09
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they don't have any.
11:11
SPEAKER_01: Um yeah, oh, yeah.
11:17
SPEAKER_01: Um, for for you audio listeners, you can hop over to our YouTube video that comes out uh two days after the audio.
11:26

11:29
SPEAKER_01: Um I gotta move this.
11:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I had to move them all too.
11:33
SPEAKER_00: It's annoying.

11:44

11:52
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you guys can stare at our absolutely wonderful, insanely great logo and uh slogan.
12:01
SPEAKER_01: So I like it.
12:03
SPEAKER_01: Uh just because we're talking about an episode about nothing, you guys will hear it at one point.
12:09
SPEAKER_01: But our original demo that we did, we spent about five minutes going back and forth and saying that's fine and different because we were gonna use it, and then when we recorded for real, we'd never we've never said it.
12:20
SPEAKER_01: We've never said it once so now we took a vowel of of of silence and it's just there.
12:25
SPEAKER_01: And I've actually had people comment and say, I think that's that's like a really cool, catchy uh uh slogan.
12:33
SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, Yeah, I thought it was too.
12:34
SPEAKER_00: And then we recorded it, and it was like it did sound stupid.
12:38
SPEAKER_00: Two guys, two mics, too much to talk about.
12:40
SPEAKER_00: See, there you go.
12:41
SPEAKER_00: It's done.
12:41
SPEAKER_00: Yep, it's it's it's yep.
12:42
SPEAKER_00: So much for the vow science.
12:44
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's all right.
12:45
SPEAKER_00: Oh well.
12:46
SPEAKER_01: Who can really do that?
12:47
SPEAKER_01: We're we're in the business of talking.
12:49
SPEAKER_01: So this is true.
12:51
SPEAKER_01: I mean, we're not mafias.
12:52
SPEAKER_01: No, no, no, that's for sure.
12:54
SPEAKER_01: I need to get my pen back out.
12:56
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, get your pen out.
12:57
SPEAKER_01: Uh so Bob, since we didn't we both had some some pretty crazy weeks, didn't we?
13:04
SPEAKER_01: I'm telling you, man.
13:05
SPEAKER_01: I'll let you start it off because I guess technically yours kind of happened before mine did, even though mine was already in the works.
13:12
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, all yeah.
13:14
SPEAKER_00: Of course.
13:15
SPEAKER_00: Of course.
13:16
SPEAKER_00: Um well my stupid ass former job fuck you guys, by the way, uh ended up letting me go on Monday because, well, my back is messed up, and we can't have you not be in here.
13:32
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, that's cool, man.
13:34
SPEAKER_00: And and not physically messed up, like it's not skeletal, it's not muscular, it's nerves.
13:40
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I literally have a problem with sciatica.
13:42
SPEAKER_00: It comes and goes.
13:43
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
13:43
SPEAKER_01: My mom had that.
13:44
SPEAKER_01: I think we've talked about that in the previous episodes.
13:46
SPEAKER_00: It comes and goes, it has nothing to do with overall strength.
13:49
SPEAKER_00: I could still pick up, you know, whatever.
13:51
SPEAKER_00: It's the sitting.
13:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it it's the sitting, it's the bending over to pick up tires, things like that.
13:57
SPEAKER_00: Which again, I was on my way out anyways.
13:59
SPEAKER_00: I had had enough of the bullshit there.
14:01
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you had said you like most of the people and the job weren't too bad, but it just there was certain aspects.
14:06
SPEAKER_01: But again, you know, that's that's almost any job.
14:08
SPEAKER_00: So well, they brought in these two buffoons from Cleveland, and I will say that without remorse or anything like that.
14:16
SPEAKER_00: And that's what they are.
14:17
SPEAKER_00: They're they're buffoons.
14:19
SPEAKER_00: They don't know what the hell they're doing.
14:21
SPEAKER_00: You know, essentially the warehouse manager was a 30-year-old kid that had no clue on life or anything like that.
14:27
SPEAKER_00: But you know, it's fine because I I I got let go Monday, I had an interview Tuesday, had a job Tuesday morning.
14:33
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, making more money.
14:35
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you turn that around quick.
14:36
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and it it it's not really a that different of a schedule outside of going in early, yeah, but getting out earlier.
14:45
SPEAKER_01: So I mean, I think all around it, you know, we we talked about this.
14:49
SPEAKER_01: It may, it might, you know, it very well was a blessing in the season.
14:52
SPEAKER_01: I think it is.
14:53
SPEAKER_01: That's a good thing.
14:54
SPEAKER_01: Um, yeah, and for me, I'm not gonna talk big on it, but uh Friday I did go and finalize my divorce.
15:01
SPEAKER_01: We went in front of the judge and all that.
15:02
SPEAKER_01: So um I I will say um I thought I was more prepared than I was.
15:10
SPEAKER_01: You know, obviously I'm in therapy and I talk about it a lot.
15:12
SPEAKER_01: Right.
15:13
SPEAKER_01: Um, but knowing as a husband and as a partner that I had failed, it was a little hard to to swallow.
15:23
SPEAKER_01: Sure.
15:24
SPEAKER_01: Sure.
15:24
SPEAKER_01: And yes, I'm aware that you know, success in a relationship and failure goes both ways, but you know, I have to live with you know what I did or what I didn't do.
15:35
SPEAKER_01: Right.
15:35
SPEAKER_01: Oh, of course, of course.
15:36
SPEAKER_01: And as we've said, it was amicable and we just grew apart.
15:39
SPEAKER_01: But in that, there were things, you know, we could have communicated better, you know, how we were feeling, things that that bothered us and stuff like that.
15:47
SPEAKER_01: But again, you know, um, you know, we get along fine, we went down together, we filed all the paperwork.
15:54
SPEAKER_01: I mean, like there was it was amicable, um, you know, and and and all that good stuff.
15:59
SPEAKER_01: But again, it just sucks when you know, 15 years of marriage and and 16 years together are gone.
16:07
SPEAKER_01: You know, it's like it's it's yeah, it's it's it's hard.
16:10
SPEAKER_01: And I will say this, um, just to and I'm sure it's like this all the about, but to Summit County, uh, you gotta go through way too much to get a fucking divorce.
16:20
SPEAKER_01: It's absolutely insane that shit you gotta do.
16:23
SPEAKER_01: They don't want you getting divorced.
16:24
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I get that, but like, if if if both sides can sit in front of you and say, nah, I'm cool with it.
16:31
SPEAKER_01: Like, that's all it should be.
16:33
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're done.
16:34
SPEAKER_01: That's all it should be.
16:35
SPEAKER_01: You know, have us a thing that you sign that says, I don't want nothing from them, they don't want nothing from me.
16:42
SPEAKER_01: We're gonna decide our children and how we like nothing's gonna change right as far as family-wise is concerned with raising Thai.
16:50
SPEAKER_01: We're just not romantically involved anymore, we're just friends now.
16:53
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so but yeah, so that happened.
16:55
SPEAKER_01: So we both kind of had some pretty shitty weeks, shitty weeks.
16:59
SPEAKER_01: Uh, like I said, I was much more emotional than I thought I was gonna be.
17:02
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and and and you know, like I said, you know, my therapist told me she was like, you know, you're not you you think you're gonna be prepared, but you're not, you know.
17:11
SPEAKER_01: She said, whichever way it goes.
17:13
SPEAKER_00: So but uh so Yeah, I'm I'm gonna be honest with you, man.
17:18
SPEAKER_00: Outside of that, Monday, and to kind of expand on that just a little bit more.
17:25
SPEAKER_00: I got home Monday and my wife was off Monday.
17:27
SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's right.
17:28
SPEAKER_01: I forgot about that.
17:29

17:35
SPEAKER_01: Oh, you did the I'm not gonna text you, I'm gonna wait until I get home.
17:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and I'm like, What had happened was Yeah, see what happened was and we got to talking and she goes, Fuck that place.
17:45
SPEAKER_01: And see, that's a ride or die there.
17:47
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because she already knew the kind of crap I was dealing with there.
17:50
SPEAKER_00: And you know, when I went through stuff last year, they they made me feel like nothing more than an employee number.
17:58
SPEAKER_00: And it's just ridiculous that companies do that to people.
18:01
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, uh, you lose sight of a lot of stuff.
18:03
SPEAKER_01: You know, that that's the one thing that I've said before, and I'll go a little more in depth in a further episode.
18:09
SPEAKER_01: Foreshadowing.
18:09
SPEAKER_01: Yes, um, my current company is is really good at accommodating shit.
18:13
SPEAKER_01: I've been pretty privileged to have them.
18:15
SPEAKER_01: So, but I've I I've known the stories you've you've told me many a times, the the idiocracy that that runs over there and stuff like that.
18:24
SPEAKER_01: And and and and although I will say, you know, I understand them saying, you know, we need you here.
18:31
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, of course.
18:32
SPEAKER_01: But at the same time, like, dude, people have different things.
18:36
SPEAKER_01: Like, these are things you they knew right that could happen.
18:40
SPEAKER_00: And I also have a life outside of work, yeah.
18:43
SPEAKER_00: And that's the thing too.
18:44
SPEAKER_00: It's like sometimes things come up.
18:46
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
18:46
SPEAKER_00: It and the thing is, is you know, in the United States, it's it's so cut and dry.
18:52
SPEAKER_00: I mean, if you go overseas a lot of that, it's like they're like, okay, cool, we get it.
18:57
SPEAKER_00: Make up the work tomorrow.
18:59
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
18:59
SPEAKER_00: Or over the weekend, or not at all.
19:01
SPEAKER_01: I think it was like in Sweden or something.
19:03
SPEAKER_01: They get like out the gate like eight weeks hot.
19:08
SPEAKER_01: It's a little hot.
19:09
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
19:11
SPEAKER_01: Um, I one of those countries over there, maybe Sweden, I think, it's like they get like eight weeks at the beginning of every and that's like mandated by the government.
19:20
SPEAKER_01: Like that.
19:21
SPEAKER_01: Germany is like, is it Germany?
19:23
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
19:23
SPEAKER_01: I know, I know there's a couple over there, and it's like, we're the worst when it comes to that shit.
19:27
SPEAKER_00: It's like Bro, you work a year and get five days of vacation?
19:30
SPEAKER_01: Like, yeah, it's I mean, I get I get a decent amount where I'm at, sure.
19:35
SPEAKER_01: But I still don't think, you know, I feel like, you know, another thing that they've done is 90% of companies have gone from vacation and sick to just PTO, yeah, to where you can use it for whatever.
19:47
SPEAKER_01: And I hate that because even the company that I started at when I started at, um, I had my first um year there, I had 16 days off, like vacation, like, and then five sick days on top of that.
20:02
SPEAKER_01: Damn.
20:03
SPEAKER_01: But I think it was 2024, maybe they went to just the PTO system and then they gave us an extra, like.
20:12
SPEAKER_00: Did you have now?
20:14
SPEAKER_00: Do you have to earn the PTO through hours work, or they just give it to you all?
20:18
SPEAKER_01: It is an accumulative thing, but I'm salary.
20:21
SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
20:22
SPEAKER_01: So it's just automatically like like if like uh for instance, if I go into to we use what's called work day.
20:29
SPEAKER_01: If I go in there and the date is set it today, it'll tell me how much have I crewed up to this date.
20:35
SPEAKER_01: But if I set the date to the end of the year, it'll say you have this many left.
20:38
SPEAKER_01: Gotcha.
20:39
SPEAKER_01: So it does it does calculate that, but it doesn't go off of that.
20:43
SPEAKER_01: Gotcha.
20:44
SPEAKER_01: Um, so yeah, but I'm not even sure.
20:46
SPEAKER_01: I think at five years I might get another bump, but dude, I get like 20 days off.
20:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, my wife is around there.
20:55
SPEAKER_00: I'm pretty lucky.
20:56
SPEAKER_01: Reinning uh after I think three years, maybe it was five years, but between three and five years, dude, she got like three and a half weeks.
21:05
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's nice.
21:06
SPEAKER_01: I'm like, damn, that's what but see, you know what?
21:09
SPEAKER_01: I seen a TikTok one time about a guy that owns this company, and he said he immediately gives them a month off.
21:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
21:16
SPEAKER_01: Like of days off, and if they want to take a month off, they can do that.
21:20
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
21:20
SPEAKER_01: And he said 75% of his employees have rollover because of that.
21:26
SPEAKER_01: Oh, wow.
21:27
SPEAKER_01: He said, because they have that option, you know, it makes them want to try to work around it and not like he said the one person, um it was like October or a later month, and they hadn't used any of their PTO.
21:41
SPEAKER_01: What they were doing is is like say they needed a Tuesday off.
21:43
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they would work Saturday.
21:46
SPEAKER_01: And he said, and I try to tell them take your time, take your time, and they're like, Well, no, like we know we got that, but like you like, so on top of the time off, he lets them like he lets them do their own hours.
21:58
SPEAKER_01: Like, if they want to work like 11 hours.
22:00
SPEAKER_01: To seven or like 1 p.m.
22:02
SPEAKER_01: to 9 p.m.
22:03
SPEAKER_01: Like they can set their own schedule, they can break it up.
22:06
SPEAKER_01: And he said he hasn't he said he hasn't had to hire a new employee in over 10 years.
22:12
SPEAKER_01: No shit.
22:12
SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, see, that's what I'm talking about.
22:15
SPEAKER_01: Like, are you gonna get people that are gonna abuse it?
22:17
SPEAKER_01: Of course you are.
22:18
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
22:18
SPEAKER_01: Yes, that's there's humans out there that are just pieces of shit.
22:22
SPEAKER_01: But I think the majority of people are gonna be like, wow, excuse me, that is something different.
22:28
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
22:28
SPEAKER_01: Like me, I would absolutely like where I'm at.
22:33
SPEAKER_01: What I can do is like some days, like I'll give you a perfect example.
22:37
SPEAKER_01: If I got a doctor's appointment, I can work from home that day, right?
22:40
SPEAKER_01: Say it's at 10 to 11.
22:42
SPEAKER_01: I don't have to take a half day or all that.
22:44
SPEAKER_01: I can go to my appointment at 10, get back home at 11, and then just not take a lunch and work to lunch.
22:51
SPEAKER_01: Or I can still take my lunch and work an hour.
22:53
SPEAKER_01: Like I don't have to, yeah.
22:54
SPEAKER_01: They're they're they're I I love the place uh that I work.
22:57
SPEAKER_01: They're they're I'm lucky in the fact that they're very accommodating.
23:00
SPEAKER_00: So yeah, I always I always end up asking you during the week, like, hey, are you working from home?
23:05
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, because there are uh they're they're really good about that.
23:09
SPEAKER_01: And and you know, there has been times with them in the ears, which we've talked about in the past, again, foreshadowing.

28:06
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
28:07
SPEAKER_01: I think we need to I I think we need to start maybe finding a place to to throw that episode away.
28:14
SPEAKER_00: We talked about it a couple weeks ago.
28:15
SPEAKER_01: Stand-up as a child.
28:17
SPEAKER_01: Like, I was watching stand-ups as a child, I should not have been watching.
28:20
SPEAKER_01: Dude, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Eddie Murphy, fucking Red Fox.
28:25
SPEAKER_01: Yep.

SPEAKER_01: Even Bob Sagitt's stand-up.
28:28
SPEAKER_01: Oh, he was filthy.
28:29
SPEAKER_01: We'll we'll we'll leave that because that could be a segment in and of itself.
28:32
SPEAKER_01: Because I don't I still wonder.
28:33
SPEAKER_01: I mean, with the social media, a lot of people know it now, but for years a lot of people hadn't realized that how dirty of a of a uh comic he is.

SPEAKER_01: So funny.
28:48
SPEAKER_01: But we can again we'll make that into another episode.
28:51
SPEAKER_01: Maybe that's another thing we can do while we're on episode here is try to shoot ideas for episodes while we're sitting here or whatever.
28:57
SPEAKER_01: Like I said, guys, no notes, no problems.
28:59
SPEAKER_01: We're just kind of going with the flow and whatever comes to our mind we're gonna talk about.
29:04
SPEAKER_00: And um I like that idea because we've talked about it before, and I know we're talking we've been kicking around the early stages of another Star Wars episode.
29:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
29:16
SPEAKER_01: We're uh we're not gonna tell you what we have in in store for that because we want that part of it to be a surprise.
29:21
SPEAKER_01: But but we've guys, we we think far ahead, even if we don't have a number set on something, we go, okay, we need to revisit this.
29:29
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the the idea is already starting to get flushed out, yeah.
29:33
SPEAKER_01: And you know, I I've been looking up statistics, you send me shit all the time, and I've been seeing things where between five and eight episodes is when the typical podcast shutters and falls and they quit making episodes.
29:45
SPEAKER_01: And I mean, bro, we already have nine and ten, I mean, uh locked and loaded, yeah.
29:52

38:51
SPEAKER_01: Like it took me about six or seven years, but at my last doctor's uh uh so I I I like to say I probably got up to about 370.
38:59
SPEAKER_01: My last doctor's appointment, I weighed 216.9.
39:04
SPEAKER_01: Man, I would only I would kill bro.

39:22
SPEAKER_01: So even when I was like I so uh I I told you a story when you had stopped over the other day about Stick, the guy the guy.
39:32
SPEAKER_01: So a fun fact, we had these, because I worked in a plastics manufacturer, we had these big scales that would have to weigh raw materials and shit.
39:39
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
39:40
SPEAKER_01: And I told him, I was like, and this was around the time that I was gonna go to, it was around 05.
39:46
SPEAKER_01: I told him, I was like, bro, I weigh like 310 pounds.
39:49
SPEAKER_01: He was like, There's no fucking way you're over 250.
39:51
SPEAKER_01: I'm like, bro, I know what I weigh.
39:53
SPEAKER_01: And I stepped on the scale and I was 307.
39:55
SPEAKER_01: And he was like, There's no fucking way.
39:56
SPEAKER_01: I said, dude, I hide it well.
39:58
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because I was an athlete, so if I gain weight, I gain it everywhere.
40:02
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so it was my arms, my legs, and not just my belly.
40:05
SPEAKER_01: So I was just a big fucker, you know.
40:07
SPEAKER_01: So built like a tank.
40:09
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but then you know, I lost, you know, all that weight, and I feel much better.
40:13
SPEAKER_01: I'm sure your joints thank you.
40:14
SPEAKER_01: Oh my god, my knees like I was in water therapy as I was getting diagnosed with diabetes because when I went to see, I ended up going to Rihanna's doctor, who's been my doctor for almost 15 years now.
40:24
SPEAKER_01: Oh, nice.
40:25
SPEAKER_01: Um, he's amazing.
40:27
SPEAKER_01: He sent me to water therapy because my knees were in such bad shape because I wrestled, I played football, and being heavy, you know, that hurts your joints.
40:36
SPEAKER_01: Um, I did the water therapy and that helped, but ultimately losing that weight kind of got me to where um I don't hurt as much.
40:47
SPEAKER_01: Uh when the weather changes, like in Ohio, it's not the change of weather, it's the abrupt change of weather.
40:57
SPEAKER_01: Like when it like when it would be 50 in the morning and get to 80, my knees would kill me.
41:01
SPEAKER_00: And that's where that comes into play.
41:04
SPEAKER_01: Bearded and crunchy, it's a it's a bitch.
41:07
SPEAKER_01: And now I got something.
41:08
SPEAKER_01: Um, my my you you you yeah, Steve was still alive when you my boss Steve at yeah, yeah, yeah, um, who unfortunately passed away from COVID.

41:47
SPEAKER_01: Um, so again, crunching.
41:50
SPEAKER_00: Listen, if you obviously we we know because we're uh close to middle age, but if you can predict the weather from any of your joints in your body, welcome to the crunch mob.

42:47
SPEAKER_01: And he shaved his beard like two weeks ago, and he just has the mustache, and he was sticking with it.
42:53
SPEAKER_01: And I told him, I said, the other day when I was getting ready to shave, I thought about doing that.
42:58
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
42:58
SPEAKER_01: And then I said, Oh shit, I can't, because my podcast is called Beard.
43:04
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, now we've got an image to uphold.
43:06
SPEAKER_01: And I said, I wanted to do that to shock everybody because since me and Rihanna have been together, you've never I've only shaved it once, like completely off, and she hated it.
43:16
SPEAKER_01: Uh so I never did it again.
43:19
SPEAKER_00: But uh She probably felt like a pedophile at one point then because you you probably have a baby face.
43:24
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I was still fat then, so Yeah, but you probably had a baby face.
43:27
SPEAKER_00: I honestly I don't even remember, man.

SPEAKER_00: I call her mom, she calls me dad.
43:35
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you know, we have our but mom would have an issue with that because she she told me before, she's like, I know you have a goddamn baby face, and I would feel like I was married to a 12 year old, and that's just not right.
43:47
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
43:47
SPEAKER_00: So I won't.
43:48
SPEAKER_01: Beards are in anyway, so Yeah, we're we're on the trend.
43:51
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
43:52
SPEAKER_00: Although I've had a beard for well, since I was like 18, 19.

SPEAKER_01: Had a long red one.
44:22
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was pretty cool.
44:23
SPEAKER_01: And then uh from time to time I would just shave my mustache and just have like the beard and shit.
44:29
SPEAKER_01: I tried to be tech nine basically.
44:32
SPEAKER_00: I and you're gonna remember this.
44:36
SPEAKER_00: And anybody that went to my wedding, oh shit, they're gonna remember this.
44:40

SPEAKER_00: My nephew's a good-looking guy.
45:03
SPEAKER_00: And he didn't set the guard back up to where my dad had it.

45:31
SPEAKER_00: Like what the I was I was ribbing him basically, you know.

SPEAKER_00: And he goes on this tangent, and I'm just like, I'm just like poking the bear, you know, like and I it still makes me laugh because I I I have pictures and video of everything from that day, and I love the old man, but god that was hilarious.
45:51
SPEAKER_00: He was so mad over facial hair.
45:55
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I I get it though.
45:56
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I do I do get it.
45:57
SPEAKER_01: I did you know now that I think about it, I don't know if I've I had ever seen my dad he wore just a mustache for a while, but I don't know if I ever seen him just completely shaved.
46:08
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he had I don't know if I've if I ever I definitely don't think there's any pictures outside of when he was like a kid or like a a a teenager or whatever.

46:21
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, my dad did the same.
46:23

SPEAKER_00: And they couldn't be like if you look at them, they couldn't be further from each other as far as looks are concerned.
52:23
SPEAKER_00: Because ginger is all red.
52:24
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
52:25
SPEAKER_00: She looks like the the hound dog with a blockhead, like you know, Des has, like the pity blockhead.

SPEAKER_01: She's such a sweetheart.
52:53
SPEAKER_01: But uh Nala is a mix, she's a terrier.
52:58
SPEAKER_01: Uh we think pointer Chihuahua mixed.
53:01
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
53:01
SPEAKER_01: Um, because the reason why we say pointer is because there's sometimes when she's standing, she lifts the paw like this.
53:08
SPEAKER_01: And has the looking so um we're not a hundred percent sure, but we definitely know she's a mixed terrier.
53:15

53:45
SPEAKER_01: Like, we often talk about like we got both of our dogs, it was meant to be.
53:49
SPEAKER_01: I'll tell a quick story about both of them.
53:51
SPEAKER_01: When we got Nala, it was right after COVID.
53:55
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
53:55
SPEAKER_01: And um, I remember you know, Ty was like, hey, you know, I want a dog because technically we got Des for Sonny, yeah.
54:02
SPEAKER_01: Um, just to kind of help her, because you know, as a teenager she had some some mental health issues, and we were doing whatever we could to try to help her.
54:10
SPEAKER_01: Um but when we got um when we got Nala, uh uh There we go.
54:21
SPEAKER_01: Brand new goddamn pen.
54:22
SPEAKER_01: Um I was actually laid off and Brianna goes, why don't you um why don't you take Ty down to one of a kind and just look around.
54:39
SPEAKER_01: No, she said just look.
54:41
SPEAKER_01: Yeah So we get down there and it's actually fairly busy, you know, we got our masks on and all that shit.
54:48
SPEAKER_01: And we we go and we're looking and I'm not seeing shit.
54:53
SPEAKER_01: Ty's around the corner and he's looking at this puppy, he goes, Papa, come look at this puppy.
54:57
SPEAKER_01: And we look and it's just this tiny little thing.
55:01
SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, I'm like, Do you do you wanna?
55:04
SPEAKER_01: She was he was like, Oh, I w I wanna hold it.
55:05

55:07
SPEAKER_01: So I go get somebody and they go to hold it, right?
55:10
SPEAKER_01: Because they'll give them out to you, and you can hold it.
55:11
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
55:12
SPEAKER_01: And Ty sits down, he's holding it, and it's just it's shivering a little bit.
55:16
SPEAKER_01: You can tell it was a little scared, but it was it was snuggling him.
55:19
SPEAKER_01: And I take a picture and I send it to Rihanna, and all she sends back is You better get that dough, bring that baby home.
55:26
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
55:27
SPEAKER_01: So I go to the girl, I said, We're gonna we're gonna take him.
55:29
SPEAKER_01: She was like, good.
55:30
SPEAKER_01: She was like, There were three other families that were waiting to hold that dog, and it had a lot of energy when we got it home, and she wanted to play with Des.
55:39
SPEAKER_01: And we were wondering, like, Yeah, would somebody have brought her back?
55:44
SPEAKER_01: Because I mean, she wasn't potty trained, like, there was a lot of stuff that, and I, and I often wonder, and with Des, where do you hear this story?
55:51
SPEAKER_01: I don't know if I've ever told you this story.
55:53
SPEAKER_01: So when we decided to get a dog, we had looked online at a bunch of different places, and we found this place.
55:59
SPEAKER_01: I can't remember exactly where it is.
56:01
SPEAKER_01: I think it was way out somewhere in Medina, where we found this beautiful um blue, bluish pit.
56:12
SPEAKER_01: And we went to see it, and its name was Bulldozer.
56:15
SPEAKER_00: Bulldozer.
56:16
SPEAKER_00: Maybe it was just Dozer.
56:17
SPEAKER_00: I'd have called him Dozer.
56:18
SPEAKER_00: It was one of the two.
56:19
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
56:19
SPEAKER_01: Um, but anyways, we went and seen it, and man, it loved the kids, and it was good.
56:24
SPEAKER_01: And the person that was there was like, well, it looks like you know you guys are basically it.
56:29
SPEAKER_01: So we go home, we prepare, we hear nothing from these people.
56:32
SPEAKER_01: She calls back, and the person talking to me said, Nobody told you guys you were gonna get that dog.
56:38
SPEAKER_00: Are you serious?
56:39
SPEAKER_01: It's a bait dog.
56:41
SPEAKER_01: They bring people in to look at it, show them what kind of dogs they have, and they try to.
56:45
SPEAKER_01: Okay, and we were like, fuck you.
56:47
SPEAKER_01: Now, yeah, Sonny was devastated, we were sad, so we were like, Alright, one day we're just like, let's go to one of a kind.
56:53
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
56:54
SPEAKER_01: Here's this white and black pit, and it's barking at me.
56:59
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, does not like me.
57:01
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
57:02
SPEAKER_01: But Sonny and Rihanna were like, you know what?
57:05
SPEAKER_01: We want to look at it.
57:06
SPEAKER_01: So we get in there, and they're petting it, and they're like, You want to at one of a kind, they have this side yard where you can walk them around and stuff like that.
57:17
SPEAKER_01: The kind of so we're walking out, and at one of a kind, here's the front of the store.
57:21
SPEAKER_01: You walk around this side here, but there's a ledge, and right next to the windows here is the cat place.
57:27
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're walking around with this dog, and I'm I'm not kidding you.
57:29
SPEAKER_01: This ledge was probably four or four and a half feet tall.
57:33
SPEAKER_01: Des just hops.
57:34
SPEAKER_01: I mean, standing hops up on it, yeah, staring at these cats.
57:38
SPEAKER_01: Oh and immediately we're like, okay, she don't like cats.
57:41
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
57:41
SPEAKER_01: We take her in the back, whatever, we take her home.
57:44
SPEAKER_01: That's the story of how we weren't even gonna like we were supposed to get a completely different dog.
57:49
SPEAKER_01: So we always go, you know, we were glad we ended up with and come to find out she she was like used as strictly a breeding dog.
57:57
SPEAKER_01: She had had three litters by the time she was four.
58:00
SPEAKER_01: Wow.
58:00
SPEAKER_01: Um, and she's such a sweetheart.
58:03
SPEAKER_01: She's a sweetheart.
58:04
SPEAKER_01: She did not like men um for the first two to three weeks that we had her when I would walk uh when I was in the living room, she'd be fine.
58:13
SPEAKER_01: But if I walked to the kitchen and Mac, then she's barking sitting in front of the kids.
58:17
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but well, Bob, I think uh I think that was a successful episode.
58:23
SPEAKER_00: It it went by really fast.
58:25
SPEAKER_01: It went by way too fast.
58:26
SPEAKER_01: Like I thought we were at like half hour and you're like writing down 55 minutes.
58:30
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, that went pretty quick.
58:31
SPEAKER_01: It doesn't take much, guys.
58:33
SPEAKER_01: We can too much to talk about.
58:35
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it goes fast.
58:36
SPEAKER_00: Even when we're on like this, no notes, no questions.
58:39
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we wanted to just kind of take an off-the-cuff approach, and I think we did that, and we just kind of bullshitted a little bit.
58:45
SPEAKER_01: That's fun.
58:46
SPEAKER_01: I had a good time with it.
58:47
SPEAKER_01: I feel much better, so that's that's what's important.
