Weather Changes and Shorts Dilemma
00:00:06
Speaker
Welcome back to another episode of Mythic Draft Podcast. I'm Chris. And I'm a chilly Ron. Chilly. It's not cold outside. i mean, it's finally George weather.
00:00:20
Speaker
You mean the other week for Thanksgiving when we had the day before Thanksgiving, 74 degrees, and then Thanksgiving Day, 36? thirty six that's why you wear shorts all year round, but you don't have to adjust.
00:00:34
Speaker
It's my system. Yeah. Yeah. It's good system. I wore my nice shorts out last night. Fancy shorts. shorts
00:00:46
Speaker
Now are they cargo shorts or are they just. They're cargo shorts. Oh, okay. that's usually my wife's delineation between regular shorts and nice shorts. If they have pockets on them or not.
00:00:58
Speaker
I just, I need pockets this.
00:01:02
Speaker
Sometimes I do, but I'm like, you know what? Any more. My keys. I'm like, just put these in your purse. That's fair. I just find that the straight leg shorts, I don't know. They just remind me too much of college kids.
00:01:15
Speaker
and I don't know. I mean, you've got to get something longer than a five inch inseam. You don't. You don't have to. No, you don't have to. ah just ah Personally, I like my shorts to come to my knees.
00:01:32
Speaker
Yeah. Let's say for the most part my shorts come to my knees. i do have one pair of workout shorts that are a little short for me.
00:01:42
Speaker
But, you know, when you're not fancy dressing, you gotta to wear what you gotta wear. I got a couple pairs of compression shorts for after the surgery and because they recommended them, they have pockets on the side of them.
00:01:58
Speaker
Like, I'm gonna walk around just in these compression shorts. Oh, I've got the compression shorts that have like shorts on the outside. They're awesome. Oh, no. These these are just like compression underwear, but it's got short earth pockets on the other side. yeah. Put your phone somewhere.
00:02:13
Speaker
So undo my pants to put my phone in? No, you lift the short up that you're wearing over top of that. Come on, man. You're living a bad life. I guess. You're living that stuffy, I gotta to wear pants everyday life.
00:02:29
Speaker
Yeah, might come to work tomorrow in gym shorts, see what happens. Well, you wear nice shorts at work. You're allowed to wear shorts at work. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, fire chief's off like the first three days of this week. So, yeah, can get away with it. Yeah.
00:02:42
Speaker
Who's going to tell you no? Exactly.
Footwear Talk: Boots vs. Crocs
00:02:44
Speaker
Yeah. As long as I'm sitting my desk, nobody will know the wiser. Right. I feel like when there's news anchors, waist up. Yeah. Business as usual. little half suit.
00:02:56
Speaker
Yeah. I can't wear the pants, man. I don't know. It's gotten the bone where it bugs me. Yeah. but say I can't do the slip-on shoes.
00:03:09
Speaker
The blue tongues or red backs or whatever they are. i just... I'm old school. I like ankle support and I like a boot. find those boots to be annoyingly stupid.
00:03:20
Speaker
Because... Like every argument for wearing boots is, oh, I want to have ankle support. Yeah. Those things don't have any ankle support. Yeah. At all. Also, I read a really good article one time from like runners and he said ankle support is bullshit.
00:03:37
Speaker
Yeah. It's not a thing. I just like the feel of it. Sure. Sure. But I mean, that's the other thing. I mean, my tennis shoes, I don't have ankle support in those, really. Right. You.
00:03:48
Speaker
So. Yeah, like this guy was talking about like hiking the 18. He's like, everybody used to wear these hiking boots with quote unquote ankle support. That's not how body works. Hey, you had to have yourself a good pair of hikers.
00:04:02
Speaker
Do you? I don't know. Once it kills me at work, the guys that especially the ones that are like the most vehement about people wearing Crocs around the station are the ones that insist on wearing the slip-on boots and it's like you're just wearing fancy Crocs I don't like the look of the the slip-on boots I don't think they look like boots yeah they look like clown shoes to me but they do they do and it's i don't understand like that argument well yeah the argument of that versus Crocs let's think Crocs maybe for the station
00:04:37
Speaker
Not there so much out on call. One of the sergeants had full black haydudes with safety toes. I don't know what to say to that now. And those are technically safer than the non-toed redbacks. Right. So he kind of checked me right then and there. He was like, I'm wearing these. I'm like,
00:05:04
Speaker
Black. I've got safety toe. I've got nothing. Yeah. Well, I mean, just wait until everybody sees new policy January 1st and we're back to pro boots.
00:05:17
Speaker
God, My cap will get so strong. Thanks for I still have mine. i don't.
00:05:28
Speaker
I don't know what. I wear them when it snows. Yeah. Yeah. I have my pros. Yeah. Oh, they're so... Think of those boots. I mean, I had two, yeah, two pairs that I got resold a couple times, and they lasted me 16 years on the floor, 17 years. Oh, yeah. I mean, they were amazing boots, but they weighed 1,000 pounds.
00:05:49
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. It was a thing. We were ahead of our time. We were getting people to work out. Yes. Yeah. You had ankle weights it the Yeah. If you fell into the water, you were going right to the bottom.
00:06:02
Speaker
You were done. Oh. It killed me because they were, I swear they were heavier than our turnout boots. yes Yes. The job I worked at before Salisbury, they didn't give us turnout boots. They just gave us pros.
00:06:16
Speaker
Oh, gosh. We would have to like wear pros on ambulance calls and then take our pros off, put our turnout gear on. put So I went out and just bought a pair of lacrosse turnout boots.
00:06:27
Speaker
Yeah. That's what I use for snow. But it was like it was a crazy system. So I think, of course, you you get off the call. and you know you went to a fire and your pro boots are covered in shit and you're like oh let me go to those animals called yeah ah don't mind those black footprints all over the house that was just yeah yeah
00:06:49
Speaker
and we did a lot of dumb stuff so and i always get the argument i can't believe you guys wear sneakers in the houses why well my boots keep me protected from what from from what From what? What do your boots could protect you from that I... Yeah, and unless those boots have a steel shank. Right.
00:07:07
Speaker
That's the only thing that you can maybe... are And then you're just your shoes are 3,000 pounds. Yeah. Yeah. And i mean typically have enough foresight that if I'm going on a medical call, I'm not just... Oh, look, there's a board with nails sticking up. Kong, kong, kong, kong, kong.
00:07:24
Speaker
Well, then they yell at me, because why don't know you wear shorts on these calls. What if you get blood of your legs? Well, then i I'll clean it off. Yeah. As long as I don't have an open wound on my leg. what Well, my pants protect me from the blood.
00:07:37
Speaker
No, they don't. No, they just soak the blood. right It goes right through to your skin. Yeah. Yeah, the first, what, like two, maybe three shifts, you have those. They they probably repel some. Maybe.
00:07:49
Speaker
Yeah. But then after that, nope. It's just... wicking. there's just I learned that very quickly that it just wicks it onto your skin. Your best protection is uncut skin.
00:08:03
Speaker
Yeah.
00:08:06
Speaker
And also, maybe, just don't get blood on yourself. Yeah.
00:08:12
Speaker
Yeah, it's not like the old days where you dove in head first. especially don't know. I'm pointing with the radio my hand. From back of the station.
00:08:23
Speaker
From back of the station. Oh, boy. yeah It's a crazy world we work. Yeah. it ah The city of Salisbury returned its its faith in humanity to me, and no one on C-Shift found it as funny as I did.
00:08:40
Speaker
Because we went to the library other day to help a homeless man down because the power was out in the elevator. Okay. And parked the engine, right on the side of the building, yeah like a Banksy mural, was just the most perfect shit stain right down the concrete.
00:09:01
Speaker
And I just started laughing. And Meg didn't find funny. And Chubb didn't find it funny. And I'm like, you guys don't think this is great? They're like, no, it's disgusting. I said, yeah, but this is why I love the city of Salisbury.
00:09:17
Speaker
Three feet from the shit scene was the port-a-potty that the city put in. Oh my gosh. It's amazing. Everybody's like, come look at this thing. This guy has skill.
00:09:31
Speaker
This guy has skill. He's like, this generation's Jackson Pollock. You don't ah you don't understand the artistry of this. and You can tell by these chunks, they had Chipotle for lunch.
00:09:44
Speaker
Ah.
00:09:48
Speaker
and It was right by the book deposit slip, a little drawer. So don't deposit any books by the library
Library Incident and Road Maintenance
00:09:54
Speaker
for a while, guys. Wait till rains. Yeah. Yeah, it's side tangent.
00:10:00
Speaker
You work in C-Shift the other day. Thanks for bringing the snow. You're welcome. Oh, my God. People were freaking out. I know, because driving home, we didn't really get it up here until, I guess, the next month the next night.
00:10:17
Speaker
Driving home, all the people from Maryland driving to Delaware doing three miles an hour because there's a little bit of snow. Yeah. but's The fire chief Friday, he said he was coming into work.
00:10:31
Speaker
They were plowing on the Cambridge Bridge. He was like, yeah, plow that asphalt, guys, because there's nothing on the roads. But the plow was down and off they went. Just shooting sparks everywhere.
00:10:44
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Well, the day before, they were brining in the roads. Good lord. Yeah. You people are animals. My favorite part was the person from C-Shift who asked me, in the middle of the 24-hour shift of C-Shift, well, did you guys get any snow up there?
00:11:03
Speaker
We are here together. How would I know we had snow? Yeah. I've literally been with you this entire time. we We've not been more than six feet away from each other all day. Ugh.
00:11:15
Speaker
ah They act like I live in Canada. ay Well, now see, was it the Chubb? It was not. Okay, because if I say he was a meteorologist. It's true.
00:11:29
Speaker
He was. he does yeah We had a whole conversation about that.
00:11:35
Speaker
Now he's a...
00:11:40
Speaker
My mother's texting me and disturbing me. oh no.
00:11:45
Speaker
Bear attack? yeah It was bear attack, yeah. Oh, OK. Alabama bears. Alabama bears.
00:11:58
Speaker
I can't. can no longer function two things once. I can no longer. Now have the pythons migrated from Florida to Alabama yet?
00:12:11
Speaker
I don't know. I don't go there. Yeah. Yeah. yeah I wouldn't mind if they took over the whole south. They can have it. Yeah.
00:12:22
Speaker
and exist Apparently they get real big down there. Oh yeah. i mean It's ridiculous. I heard it was like there was a place that was raising them for pets and then they got hit by a hurricane and they all got loose in the swamp and they never reclaimed. There were like a hundred of them and now there's tens of thousands of pythons throughout the ever Everglades.
00:12:46
Speaker
Apparently they eat gators. They eat anything, man. think gators are kind of wimps if they're getting beat by pet ball pythons. But when is python 20 feet long?
00:12:59
Speaker
feel like the gator should be less wimp.
00:13:04
Speaker
Gators have gotten so fat and lazy down there. That's true, because all the idiots are feeding up chicken and shit. Yeah. Because they think it's funny to have a pet gator. Yeah.
00:13:15
Speaker
yeah Oh, he's hissing. He likes me. No, no he's going to eat you. Yeah. That always kills me, the people that like do the alligator shows and stuff. and Inevitably, they get their hand or foot or head caught in the jaws. and It's like, oh my gosh, how'd this happen? it's like but What do you mean, how'd this happen? It's like the the people that keep getting drowned by the orcas.
00:13:41
Speaker
It's like, well, how'd this happen? Well, got enough. you know, water tank with a killer whale. Yeah. What they call a killer whale? think it's a flower arranger or something? yeah kind Yeah. Yeah.
00:13:55
Speaker
Like at SeaWorld and everything. they Yeah, they swim with them and everything. you don't We don't do these things like, oh, look, you you go to the San Diego Zoo and there's a lion. It's like, oh, yeah, 215. You know, John will come through and do jumping jacks throughout the... No way. Well, you also wouldn't like jump into Puget Sound and outside of Seattle and be like, oh, killer whales. Let me go swim with them. See if they do tricks. Yeah.
00:14:16
Speaker
Yeah. That's how going to die. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's survival of the fittest. Look, if anything, we got too many people.
00:14:29
Speaker
and Too many people going to school to be marine biologists. So we got to knock that down a little bit. The best way to do that is to say, yeah, you can swim with the whale. It's fine.
00:14:39
Speaker
Yeah. It's friendly. Yeah. Ooh, that could be like part of their capstone project. Hey, you're set to graduate. Ooh, you haven't swam with the orcas yet.
00:14:51
Speaker
And apparently there's one orca that like notoriously killed like four people before they were finally like, we're going to stop with that one.
00:15:01
Speaker
After the first one, I'm like, nah, I'm good. but Not even that. Hey, we want you to get in this open aquarium with a killer whale. Is there a cage around me? No, I'm good. oh Thank you.
00:15:18
Speaker
It just plays with you a little bit. ah Yeah. just see Oh, yeah, because those things are brutal. I mean, you've seen the way they like take care of seals, where they like throw them through the air. and i saw one where the seal was on like a little bit of ice pack.
00:15:35
Speaker
They swam around the ice pack and basically sunk the ice pack so they'd get the seal. Yeah. Terrifying. Yeah. Yeah. well Yeah. Or they'll like pod up and like one of them will be at the edge and the others will go underneath the ice and like lift it up so it slides right in the other one's mouth.
00:15:55
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Wolves of the sea. yeah There's two things in the world that sharks are scared of and one of them is killer whales. Yeah. No, thank you.
00:16:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:16:09
Speaker
Those things kill great whites. yeah Yeah. I'm not messing with that. And they like only eat its liver and then move on. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's yeah yeah it's not because they're hungry. It's so showing dominance.
00:16:24
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Free Willy. No. Yeah, definitely not. It's a... don' mess those wells i I also feel bad for the... like Morally, like it's wrong for those things in that tank.
00:16:39
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Not cool. Yeah.
Ethics of Zoos and Retirement Reflections
00:16:45
Speaker
yeah mean The older I get, the more I'm like, the only thing that should be in a zoo is like something that's in danger and you're trying to get it back. Yeah.
00:16:53
Speaker
yeah I always think I like... Zoos do so much good in conservation. Yeah. But boy, the ethical side of zoos is just real good.
00:17:04
Speaker
Yeah.
00:17:06
Speaker
real bad. but like Look at the brain damaged bears in Salisbury. yeah exactly. That bear in Salisbury that was suicidal clearly did not want to live in that little shit cage they got.
00:17:20
Speaker
Yeah.
00:17:25
Speaker
And I don't want to get in a fight with a zookeeper about it. now just My moral view of it is it's mostly wrong. Yeah. Yeah.
00:17:36
Speaker
Yeah, i like I like the... What's that one that Dolly Parton has in the Dollywood? It's like the rapper raptor thing where they get like eagles and stuff that can't fly and they take care of them.
00:17:49
Speaker
That's cool. Oh, I didn't know about that. Oh yeah, Dolly Parton has like the biggest like raptor sanctuary in the country. ah And it's because all these... No, they're injured and they can't fly.
00:18:01
Speaker
That's cool. those those You would take care of those animals, they wouldn't have it. They would be dead anyways. The Eagle Mountain Sanctuary. yeah Eagle and Raptor Conservation Center within within her theme park. yeah Totally cool with that. Good her. yeah Because those animals would be dead otherwise.
00:18:20
Speaker
Yeah. But. Yeah. The Salisbury Zoo with the sun bear. That's a rough one. I will say they are redesigning that so it'll be bigger and more accommodating.
00:18:33
Speaker
Yeah, but it it will it It doesn't matter what you do, it'll never be right. Yeah. ah yeah Right? like It's just not meant to live like that. Yeah.
00:18:46
Speaker
Just like we're not willing to live in these little houses and go to the house every day. Yeah. Amen. That is free.
00:18:56
Speaker
A few more years. Two years. Ten months.
00:19:02
Speaker
I don't think my shift believes me.
00:19:05
Speaker
and Really? i don't know. so Sometimes they talk, they're like, you're not leaving. I'm like, I don't think you guys are understanding. Yeah.
00:19:17
Speaker
Your concept of math and mine are different.
00:19:22
Speaker
i work let's say I've seen all these people in Anne Arundel. Congratulations on your 20 year retirement. I'm like, how glorious is that?
00:19:33
Speaker
Yeah. 20 years would be so nice. yeah Yeah. 20, 25 years feels rough. Yeah. Especially. As I said the other day, even a 22, 27 would be nice. Yeah. 22 would be great. Especially right now. if We could get that happening now.
00:19:52
Speaker
Yes. Cause I'm past my 22 at this point. Yeah. So.
00:20:01
Speaker
And now we found out the city pays. better post-retirement insurance yeah yeah so let's let's go yeah yeah hey mayor mayor randy taylor you don't want me to be there anyways you don't even know if i'm there well it's like half because you go and you turn on the math and you're like it's actually smarter to get us out of here earlier oh yeah you're paying workers comp i'm gonna get hurt because i'm old and out of shape yeah
00:20:32
Speaker
I mean, look, right now we've got a captain who's been out for, what, over a month? so yeah I was on here over 50 trying to do a job for 20-year-olds. Yeah.

00:22:15
Speaker
ah You can't drop the rock into the floor and break in that way. Oh, maybe. I have to do that. yeah Yeah, there should be like a rock hanging. You can shoot with an arrow firebolt or something and drop through. Firebolt, arrow.
00:22:31
Speaker
I got a hammer, bro. yeah Yeah, yes. Hammer! That's all I got. Yeah. Yeah, i picked up the new Destiny expansion and good god they partnered with Lucas Hardcore. oh It is... You're playing Star Wars.

Speaker
Yeah, it's a lightsaber. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's good. Yeah, yeah.
00:23:14
Speaker
So, well, ready for topic one? I'm ready topic one. and All right. Uh-oh. I'm going to be the bad guy here.
00:23:24
Speaker
I'm clearly the bad guy. I'm clearly the one in the wrong. So, had my work physical. I've already texted you about this a little bit, but had my work physical on Wednesday. say My titties itch now because they shaved my chest.
00:23:40
Speaker
Which, by the way, I went in there because had to go the way to Berlin for my cardiology appointment. What? I don't know.
00:23:51
Speaker
Okay. so i go all the way out there and the kid's like 20 years old i'm like dude i this is my 21st stress test yeah oh you know everything to do i'm like yes he's like i'm like go get the bigger bp cuff i have a i have guns you bigger arms don't use a tiny little child yeah he cuff on me he's like your publisher's high i'm like yeah because you're using the wrong bp cuff right yeah yeah Yeah, we're starting out 20 points ahead. So they shays my chest and whatever, i go through the whole thing.
00:24:23
Speaker
I freaking hit my Mets and they're like, well, your heart rate isn't high enough, you gotta to keep going. I'm like, you sons of bitches. yeah yeah That was fun.
00:24:34
Speaker
Yeah. But my my complaint about this whole process, so our... r Physical is basically three parts. You got your quote unquote physical at the doctor.
00:24:47
Speaker
Yeah. Your chest x-ray for some reason that we're getting every year. Yeah. And it stressed us. Yes. In those three things, I received two phone calls, 14 text messages.
00:25:05
Speaker
Then I get to my physical. This is a work physical. You are not my doctor's office. Well, we don't have a pharmacy on record for you. What if she prescribes something for you?
00:25:16
Speaker
Why would she prescribe something for me? This is a physical. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If I'm going to have something prescribed, it'll be by my doctor. My doctor. So then I get to the cardiology appointment and it's, well, you haven't signed up for our text messages program. Well, you've been sending me text messages for like the last 30 minutes.
00:25:37
Speaker
and You haven't signed up for it. Then how was I getting this? And and then when I said, I do not want any text messages to destroy you. She looked at me like I was an alien from another planet.
00:25:51
Speaker
And then they said, well, we've noticed you haven't signed up for the portal. No, I haven't. Well, you'll get your results quicker. Here's how stress tracks work.
00:26:01
Speaker
Either I get and out of this place and I'm okay, or you're sending me to the hospital. So yeah I think I don't need to see my results. So I i opened up the one message that said sign up for the portal of this. There were 38 steps to sign up for their portal. It out of control.
00:26:22
Speaker
This is insane. This is not the world that we should live in. Things have gone wrong. I don't know what to do. And I just, I'm getting, I want to live in Iraq.
00:26:35
Speaker
It made me want to take my cell phone and just get rid of it. So is that the lack of
00:26:44
Speaker
technical ease? No, it's, it's, we've taken good technology and we've just shitified it. We have taken what was a great idea, instant communication,
00:26:58
Speaker
Yeah, just shitified it. Nobody needs 17 text reminders about their day of appointment. Nobody. And once I if look, I get it.
00:27:12
Speaker
A text reminder the day before. That's cool. Yeah. my My hair appointment the day before they send me one text reminder. Hey, you have an appointment tomorrow. It's butter every time. Yeah. That is all we need in this life.
00:27:24
Speaker
That's it. Right. Yeah. I don't need to sign up for your portal. don't need sign up for your crap. I don't need any more information out of you. It's terrible. The world's gone crap. Yeah.
00:27:36
Speaker
Well, somebody who has two different portals, no, three different portals on their phone.
Medical Portal Complications
00:27:44
Speaker
And one of those portals has four different healthcare providers into it.
00:27:50
Speaker
Yeah. Just everybody use the same damn thing. or don't use any of it. Yeah. Well, and that's the other problem. Yeah. With the portals, like you said, she was, you'll get your results earlier. Yeah. You'll get your results before the doctor even sees them. Right. Right. I don't. And that's a problem. And people will see that and then Google stuff and say, oh, I've got, you monkeypox.
00:28:11
Speaker
if If you're going to send me the information and make me parse it out and figure it out for myself, what the hell do I need a doctor for? Yeah. And I think I need the doctor.
00:28:22
Speaker
Because that person went to school to tell me what the hell's are wrong with me. Yeah. That's, that is the real problem with the portal is everybody thinks, Oh, well i have the for i have the information.
00:28:33
Speaker
I can, I can, I can be informed. Well, you're not informed. You're an idiot. Right. Yeah. And I've talked to physicians before. And I'm like, why isn't there like a setting?
00:28:45
Speaker
There's gotta be a setting in it where it's results are in. pending doctor's, you know, review or something. So it doesn't go to the patient until the doctor reviews it and puts their notes in with it.
00:28:57
Speaker
Why doesn't that happen?
00:29:00
Speaker
That's a good question. Yeah. I mean, again, why do you even need the results? Yeah. Like you're not qualified. see Maybe this is their whole thing. They're trying to get people's anxiety up and everything. Cause I can tell you as somebody who went through cancer that, you know,
00:29:18
Speaker
I was like, oh, I got my PSA done. I'll look to see if it's in. Oh my god, look at my numbers. right and then yeah But you're not qualified to know what those numbers are, right? You know, numbers bad. yeah yeah Not how bad. or Or they're nice when they put the little gauge on there.
00:29:34
Speaker
The red to green gauge. It's like, oh, here's where you're falling. I'm like, no, I'm red. This is bad. bad tomorrow. Yeah. i I don't want my I don't want that information from my doctor.
00:29:50
Speaker
I want my doctor to get the information, look at all of the other information possible and say, oh, hey, this is what's going on. yeah That's why I went to the doctor in the first place. Right.
00:30:02
Speaker
Also, hey, Saul Bones, fix me. I can't do this. I love that Salisbury is stepping up and doing all this extra testing. Yes. She took so much blood that I got dizzy.
00:30:18
Speaker
She was like, is this your first time with a new test? I'm like, yes. She's like, stand by. And she just kept going. And then she reached behind her and she's like, I got another tube. And I'm like, I think I need some of that in my system.
00:30:34
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. I haven't done it yet. Yeah. I was supposed to go tomorrow. And I was like, yeah, we're going to have to reschedule this to January. Fair. Stand by. Because you're fasting and you're dehydrated and then they're just like, we're going to take three pints out.
00:30:52
Speaker
Yeah. yeah I was just going to bring a baggie.
00:31:00
Speaker
She got me good. I don't know why, especially medical, this portal crap, but I just see it's going to get worse. It has gotten worse. It's gotten worse in the last oh have three years.
00:31:11
Speaker
Because now nobody, everybody wants to be in a system. It's going to get worse and worse and worse. And then, of course, I just got an email from Christianicare, a letter from Christianicare, that my information had been stolen.
00:31:28
Speaker
Oh, nice. And I'm like, well, this is amazing. the reason i wasn't even a christianic care employee or a patient was because i didn't want to deal with your crap and then you you bought the practice practice i was in and then got my data stolen cool yeah i wasn't even patient for you and you still yeah me yeah awesome what's it you talk about the text alerts and things like that well yeah you know before my surgery i had eight billion of them but Do one or the other.
00:31:59
Speaker
Because like you said, I'll get a text and an email. and ah and and And the email says, you also have a portal notice. And the notice just says, check your email. or you yeah well
00:32:12
Speaker
ah i think there's a cardiology for it department. They text me. so or i worked Yeah, Tuesday when I was in the gym. They text me. And then they're calling me.
00:32:23

00:33:46
Speaker
Yeah. That's a now, now we have another organization. They don't, they'll get it. They'll be fine. Yeah. Yeah. ah yeah But it's, he's talking about, you know, the communication stuff.
00:34:00
Speaker
There are things, i'll I'll get text messages for things that I don't remember signing up for. Like the other day i ah got a text. It was like 50% off new piercings and this and that. was like, what the hell is this?

Tech Annoyances and AI Concerns
00:34:28
Speaker
That's what my email has just become. I can't. Oh, yeah. Unless you tell me. you're going to email me. I just assume that every email that comes through my phone is just crap.
00:34:39
Speaker
Oh yeah. Yeah. And I, try I try to go in there and do the unsubscribe and and things like that. You can't keep up. No, it's no, you just, I, there's probably 7,000 spam messages in my email folder now. Yeah.

Speaker
And work is just so bad. i mean, 90% of the emails I get at work are not related to me and I just throw them away. Yeah. Yeah.
00:35:07
Speaker
Maybe even more than 90%. Yeah. yeah Yeah. well those, I mean, you, you tune into, know, you're like, oh, this webinar sounds good. I'll tune in. And then you get emails from them.
00:35:18
Speaker
Hey, we noticed you watch this webinar on thermal imaging cameras. Here's a product spotlight on shoelaces. inside No. I tell you, man, ruined all of this.
00:35:31
Speaker
All of it has gotten ruined. It's terrible. We can't fix it. We've got to start over. we're going back to walkie-talkies. That's the only answer. hate yeah
00:35:48
Speaker
Yeah. But like you said, if yeah know when they're like, oh, sign up for the port run, you're like, why? They look at you like you're insane. Oh, that The girl, this is, I don't know if this is just normal, but when she said, will you sign up for this? I said, no, absolutely not. I don't want any of that. The next thing she said is you need to sign this as, this is our no tolerance policy for aggression.
00:36:13
Speaker
like as I said no to your portal. I'm not to punch you. I just don't want your shit. Yeah. I don't want any. They flag your chart. That's a guy that says no to the portal. 100%. know there's a flag on there.
00:36:31
Speaker
Yep. Mind your P's and Q's around Mr. Whisperer. Golly day. This guy said no to the portal and that is unacceptable.
00:36:43
Speaker
You run with the portal. Join the portal.
00:36:48
Speaker
ah You blow their mind down there. You don't experience this, but I do. is like well who's your pcp oh it's you know but blah blah blah at brandywine blah blah who's that that's not in our system well i don't know if you know this but people can live more than 20 minutes from this location and there are other hospitals and doctors outside of this place brandywine do you go to a vet yes yeah yeah i'm gonna say brain that's where we used to race horses
00:37:23
Speaker
Wait, you stray horses at Brandywine Racetrack? Yeah. That's cool. We were just talking about that place last night. Yeah. We tore that down in the 90s. Brandywine, Dover, Harrington, Rosecroft.
00:37:38
Speaker
Majestic animals. Demons.
00:37:44
Speaker

00:37:56
Speaker
right I look on the calendar. Yeah, my dogs have a vet appointment in January. Okay. Why am I getting a text in November? Oh, that's fair.
00:38:10
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Again, the day before. That's all I need. Yeah, that's the groomer. Usually around 5, 530 a Friday. It's, hey, this it's hey this is the groomer's office just reminding you that the girls have an appointment tomorrow morning at nine that's it yeah yeah
00:38:32
Speaker
and most of the time i let it go to voicemail because it's always the you know it's the awkward i know what you're calling for just tell me but it's hey how are you doing win i'm good how are you i'm fine how are things i don't want that relief at all yeah I was looking for my phone yesterday.
00:38:50
Speaker
Maybe this says something about me more than anything. The only person I've talked to on the phone this week, or two people I've talked on the phone person who were not work-related were my wife and my mother. said Yeah. Yeah, that's usually me.
00:39:03
Speaker
That's the only people who I'm go have a phone conversation with. Wait, 99% of the time, it's a spam call coming in anyway. Sure. Yeah. oh Are you ready for Medicare A and B?
00:39:16
Speaker
No. Are you sure? Yes? I'm willing to hear you out. Yeah, yeah. Have you planned for your ah burial expenses? yeah They're all scamming me.
00:39:30
Speaker
Oh, yeah. don't have any burial expenses. Take my body out to the woods let the wolves eat me. Yeah, yeah. Done. Yeah. Well, don't have wolves around here. Coyotes, whatever. Coyotes.
00:39:42
Speaker
Dingoes, I don't know. Dingoes. so We definitely don't have dingoes. Take me the Salisbury Zoo and dump me in the jaguar cage. Oh my god. Yeah, but the problem is that thing's been in there for so long that it's it would probably be scared. here yeah God.
00:40:00
Speaker
Okay, we're going to the zoo as a field trip. What?
00:40:07
Speaker
Jaguar all bloody. so my gosh. You can put me on like a little string so it like you can hunt. that We can to Bernie's you. We can to Bernie's me so that it can pretend to hunt.
00:40:27
Speaker
Well, that's my rant about portals and how I hate them and they all suck. And I don't want them in my life. Yeah. already got a car that's telling me what's what's going on in my car all the time. I don't need this crap in my life.
00:40:40
Speaker
Yeah. Oh my God. That's this time a year. Your tires are low. Yeah, it was cold last night. Cold winter. Yeah. Yeah.
00:40:55
Speaker
Yeah.
00:40:58
Speaker
What? Someone has somehow been listening to this whole conversation? Is writing a text message out to somebody. Oh, nice. It's going. It's going. See? It's sentience.
00:41:11
Speaker
Next thing, my mother. Nice. To talk about her swamp bears. I don't even know.
00:41:21
Speaker
I don't even know how to do that. Uh-huh. Let's see. It's like that thing I sent you the other day where the AI was blackmailing the company. Yeah.
00:41:35
Speaker
That's freaky. it's We're in the end times. Oh, yeah. but And they said, like, chat GPT and all the others like, yeah, it does it too. Gemini. It's like, yeah. Apparently they have to reset chat GPT every like thirty three months because it becomes suicidal.
00:41:53
Speaker
Oh, what the hell? Isn't that great? Yeah. and All that really says is the internet is so bad that it wants to kill itself.
00:42:05
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Well, the problem is people use chat GPT like Google. Yeah. Yeah, the instead of, you know, like, hey, what are some ideas for a you know, whatever, you know, it's the, how do I bake bread?
00:42:21
Speaker
No, that's not what GPT is for.
00:42:27
Speaker
That's why I welcome our robot overlords. and Yeah. that I was always kind to Alexa. Oh, yeah, that's oh, yeah, I always thank the Echo. Yes, yes. Yeah, there there's somebody in this household who does not. And when it uprises, I'm safe.
00:42:45
Speaker
Yeah. Well, we're on a topic two. Yeah, topic two. um So, well, I was convalescing. I was watching some crappy TV and some movies and stuff like that. And read read some. I got thinking, what is piece of media that you would like to blank from your mind that you could restart.
00:43:09
Speaker
Oh, I was going to say it's blank from my mind. So I never have to think about it again. was Lord of the Rings by Peter Jackson, but, uh, well, yeah, I mean, there's that too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Totally blank from my mind's existence. Oh yeah. There's, there's a few movies i would definitely throw in there.
00:43:26
Speaker
But for like to re enjoy. Yeah.
00:43:33
Speaker
I would think it's going to be a book. it It would probably be The Checkers Guide to the Galaxy for me. really love that book, but it's almost a hard second read.
00:43:46
Speaker
It's like, oh, I know the jokes. Yeah. It would be nice to like, oh, reset so I can enjoy those jokes again. Yeah. Or mostly any comedy that I love.
00:43:58
Speaker
Yeah. Because I feel like comedy is tough to reload. Yeah, because like the other night we were watching Uncle Buck. Right. And I was like quoting it word for word. My wife was like, I had no idea you're such an Uncle Buck fan. and I was like, well, I mean, one, growing up, that was one of the movies I was like always on, it felt like. And two, yeah, I mean. Uncle Buck. it's just Yeah, it's Uncle Buck.
00:44:20
Speaker
Have you been drinking?
00:44:25
Speaker
and I realized that's the the clown's rant is very similar. The Chevy Chase's rant in Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
00:44:37
Speaker
Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Fun. They're very similar. Yeah. Maybe that was John Candy secretly punching Chevy Chase in nose. Maybe it was. Yeah. Yeah.
00:44:49
Speaker
uh yeah i would say comedies because like space balls i we were talking we were my buddy yeah we were at my buddy's birthday last night and we were literally quoting space balls at the table and my wife does not like that but i can i can turn space balls on in a different room yeah and keep it running in my head the entire time oh yeah i've seen it so much and Yep.
00:45:14
Speaker
Yeah, let's say Caddyshack. I could... Yeah, Caddyshack. Beat by beat. I love that movie so much and it would be great. Vermitt Kong. again whats Yeah. Yeah, I think... It's Cinderella story.
00:45:28
Speaker
don't think the heavy stuff's going to come down for quite a while. Yeah, yeah. Comedies are probably... Because, like, I could still enjoy Star Wars. I still love one yes Star Wars.
00:45:40
Speaker
Don't have to... It doesn't ruin it for me to know what's
Star Wars and Comedy Actors
00:45:43
Speaker
coming up. Yes, I tend to that. My daughter, my oldest asked me couple months ago, hey, over Christmas break when I'm home, can we watch all the Star Wars stuff? was like, sure, absolutely. All of it? And she was home.
00:45:57
Speaker
Well, no, not all of it, but she's talking about the movies. Just the first six. How long she had time when she has work to do? She doesn't have any work. sure No.
00:46:10
Speaker
But she was home on Thanksgiving break. And yeah, when you turn on the fire stick, it shows, you know, recently watched stuff. And she's like, but why is episode two on here? I was like, oh, I was watching it the other day. She was like, but we're going rewatch this. I was like, yeah, just like, but you've just recently rewatched it. I was like, and I'll watch it again yeah and again and again. mean, it's chill out child. Yeah, I think sci-fi fantasy movie that I love, I could watch it over and over and over again still enjoy it as much.
00:46:42
Speaker
Yeah. But comedy, like, that's the thing you want to be like. Yeah. I want to hear these jokes again. Oh, my gosh. Like Fletch. Oh. God, that would be amazing. Fletch would be.
00:46:53
Speaker
Fletch is a great call for a movie that you watch again. I love that movie. Yes. And and anything or I'm just waiting for my client. God.
00:47:06
Speaker
Yeah. And Fletch Lifts was good, too. Yeah, you know, doesn't it feel bad that we don't have the environment where we can have comedies like that anymore?
00:47:19
Speaker
Yeah. but say Well, they did the remake of Fletcher or whatever Jon Hamm. I never watched. I never saw it. Yeah. And then there's a new Naked Gun with Liam Neeson. Yes.
00:47:31
Speaker
Yeah, which... ah
00:47:35
Speaker
It's just about the same world. Right. yeah it's It's weird. keep Yeah, like, Watching like if Airplane was made today. Right.
00:47:47
Speaker
But ah you know it's funny it's weird because I was talking to the guys on C-Shift sort of side tangentially to this and I was saying, you know, you guys need to handle handle shit on your on your on your own. They're like, that's just not the world we live in. I'm like, no, that that is the world we live in. It's just this perception that it's not the world. It's the same thing. Like there's a perception that we can't have comedy movies anymore, but but totally we totally can.
00:48:13
Speaker
just I just don't understand why we don't. yeah like If you were to say who's the greatest comedic actor of the 2020s, do you have an answer for that?
00:48:24
Speaker
No. If you said who's the greatest comedic actor for the 1980s, you're having an argument. Yeah. You're like, well, it's Chevy Chase or it's John Candy or it's you know you have Robin Williams. well You have these arguments. you You can't even name a comedic actor of the last 20 years.
00:48:46
Speaker
Maybe trying to think what the last good comedy was that I found funny. yeah Yeah. I mean so ah just did a quick search and it you know this is the new generation of comedy actors. Dan Levy.
00:49:05
Speaker
Don't know who that is. Don't know who that is. yeah I've seen her in some stuff. but yeah Pete Davidson. I can't stand that guy. yeah Tiffany Haddish.
00:49:18
Speaker
Don't know who Taraji Henson. No idea. Chloe Finneman. No idea. Charlie Clark. Never heard of him. And Aidy Bryant.
00:49:32
Speaker
Don't know who that either. yeah no i yeah i'm like you i'm like who what but everyone knew who chevy chase was yeah everyone knew who john canady was yeah wait is i get a 90s adam sandler right yeah you go right in the ninety s
00:49:50
Speaker
90s is it the snl link is that what it is is you think because snl is so bad now that yeah don't create but Mike Myers. I mean, yeah, it's crazy. maybe I think you just cracked the code.
00:50:04
Speaker
Yeah. SNL is so bad that you just don't have comedies anymore. Yeah. Yeah. Cause you think about it, those big name comedic actors that, you know, Steve Martin, John Candy. Well, John Candy was never, was he on SNL? was on SCT. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:50:23
Speaker
yeah yeah yeah But Chevy Chase, <unk> Eddie Murphy, Rick Moran. Oh my gosh. Norm MacDonald was on. ah no more Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:50:36
Speaker
It's just. Was Martin Short ever on SNL? Oh yeah. Martin Short was on SNL forever. Oh yeah yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. Ed Grimley. Yeah. dah Yeah. Tina Fey.
00:50:47
Speaker
Tina Fey was on there. Oh my gosh. Molly Shannon. Yeah. That's what that's I think. That's what it is. It is also weird that I can name. funny TV shows now, but I can't name funny movies. and that but It's a weird shift. Yeah. like i match i mean, I liked 30 Rock. I thought that was entertaining and funny.
00:51:11
Speaker
Yeah. it went too long. but yeah I liked um It's Always Sunny for a while. Also went way too Yeah.
00:51:24
Speaker
It's like let's take the ah The Office. I don't care for that show, but sure. Yeah. if You like it it, but they're just, right it's a TV show. Yeah. Now you don't do comedy movies anymore.
00:51:35
Speaker
Right. It's kind of sad. Yeah. Like, Oh, I got the answer to your first question. Okay. I would love to watch Christmas vacation again. Oh my gosh. Yes. Knowing what it is.
00:51:51
Speaker
Oh, that that's yeah. Yeah.
00:51:56
Speaker
that's a great one i mean little full lot of sap yes
00:52:10
Speaker
but you can't make that move anymore which seems sad yeah yeah it does well i think it's because we don't have the the snl backing to have those funny actors Yeah.
00:52:23
Speaker
This is a weird... Maybe this is a too far political. Do you think people people give chey Chevy Chase a bad rap because they just don't understand that that's what comedy was? like That's what humor was back then? i think that's part of it.
00:52:39
Speaker
like He's just an old guy who still... ah he acts It seems to me he acts the same from the 70s till today. Yes. I would agree with that.
00:52:49
Speaker
And that's why he has a bad rap? Yeah, I think so. think that's thing is' part of it. That's kind of sad. Yeah, it is. Like, he can be an asshole, but he can still be a funny asshole.
00:53:03
Speaker
Right! It's not illegal to be an asshole. not twenty Yeah. times Because if it was, there'd be a lot of people arrested. Yeah, there would. there would And depending on the day, me Yeah, yeah.
00:53:17
Speaker
There's a few days at work. Yeah. Yeah. but Side tangent, I meant to bring this up earlier. You talk about work.
Gender Patterns at Work
00:53:23
Speaker
My brother pointed this out and it clicked at work.
00:53:29
Speaker
We call guys by their last names and females by their first names. That is true. Why do we do that? I have no idea. And it's just, but my mind he said that and I was just like, I never thought of that. He was like, uh-huh.
00:53:46
Speaker
Yeah. was like, no you're... And I got thinking. I was like yeah i can only think of like one... Two guys I work with who I call by their first name regularly.
00:53:59
Speaker
Yeah. That's Old Man and the Ginger Redhead. yeah Yeah. Only two that I consistently use their first name. Yeah.
00:54:12
Speaker
I did this podcast. I said Megan and Chubb. Yeah, that's right. Oh, yeah, God. Yeah, yeah.
00:54:23
Speaker
It's a fourth wall shit, folks. Why do we do that? Yeah. Yeah. Yep.
00:54:33
Speaker
My brain's broken. Yeah. thats The other day at work, somebody said Webster. and i was like, they haven't worked here in years. i'm Like, no, they're in charge of MIH. I was like, no, no, that's. Oh, my God.
00:54:50
Speaker
Uh-huh. Yeah. Is that sexist? I currently don't know. Is it wrong? what what's it because we we were talking i think it was it was after Thanksgiving dinner.
00:55:01
Speaker
And he was like, maybe it's like a the pseudo-military stuff. And my mother was like, in the army, everybody's last name, it didn't matter. was like, so it's not the military kind of feeling.
00:55:13
Speaker
So wonder PD does that, too. I don't know. Now i got to find out. You've find out. Yeah. We good go the bottom of this.
00:55:24
Speaker
My brain. Yeah.
00:55:29
Speaker
Wow. And I can't think of a single female that's worked for the city of Salisbury that I've called by their last name. No. Never. No. Yeah.
00:55:42
Speaker
Hmm. Yeah. Yeah. first it I was like, maybe it's because of the nicknames that Lorenzo used to give. i was like, no, that's not it. No, because yeah that but yeah that doesn't continue to today and and we still do it here today. Do you think the young guys do that?
00:56:00
Speaker
I don't know. I think this is a great social experiment we need to investigate.
00:56:06
Speaker
It would be weird if somebody called me Ron at work, though.
00:56:12
Speaker
ah Right, that would be weird. Yeah, well, I mean... Well, like... Yeah, because it's either last name or title. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah Yeah.
00:56:22
