00:00:54
stupidoldmansnoring
Oh, they wouldn't know 100%. hundred First off,
00:00:56
Chris
Well, probably after like, I don't know, probably two hours at work, people would figure it out.
00:01:01
stupidoldmansnoring
there's no way I'm going to work.
00:01:03
Chris
Oh, I'm going to work.
00:01:05
stupidoldmansnoring

The DROP Program Explained
00:01:37
stupidoldmansnoring
So for people who are listening, we have a thing called the drop, which you are technically retired, but you're still working. It's a bonkers world.
00:01:47
Chris
It is.
00:01:47
stupidoldmansnoring
I would last less than 30 minutes.
00:01:47
Chris
it is.
00:01:50
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:01:52
stupidoldmansnoring
I would enter into the drop.
00:01:54
Chris
yeah
00:01:54
stupidoldmansnoring
I would come into work the next shift. and somebody would say something and i don't even know who i could it could be a civilian it could be a nurse in a nursing home it could be anybody and i just like no they give it the governor and i'd be like no i'm not dealing with this and i'd leave which is totally allowed under drop rules
00:02:05
Chris
It could be the governor. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wait, how are you getting back to the station? I have an Uber coming.
00:02:17
stupidoldmansnoring
yeah like an uber i'll walk the city is not that large
00:02:24
stupidoldmansnoring
I think from the furthest point our city, it's like five miles.
00:02:27
Chris
Yeah.
00:02:28
stupidoldmansnoring
I'm good.
00:02:30
Chris
But again, that baffles people. You're going walk a mile?
00:02:34
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah, yeah.
00:02:35
Chris
yes yeah i just yeah what yeah i know there's some shady you know sections what what what do you think's happening when people walk around this isn't you know like the cartoon now look i will admit there are some areas of our city you probably don't want to walk down a you know dimly lit alleyway at night but
00:02:36
stupidoldmansnoring
I work a mile most days.
00:03:02
stupidoldmansnoring
But I've walked those alleyways at night
00:03:03
Chris
yeah i know yeah
00:03:04
stupidoldmansnoring
right for calls and stuff. I've always thought... i have a fond place in my heart for the the reputations Halisbury has, but I've always thought it's not really an earned reputation.
00:03:21
stupidoldmansnoring
It's not as bad as anybody makes
Crime Perceptions in Cities
00:03:23
stupidoldmansnoring
it out to be. The problem is people on the shore are scared of anything that's not corn,
00:03:24
Chris
yeah oh oh yes
00:03:32
Chris
warren
00:03:35
Chris
Corn, chickens, crabs.
00:03:37
stupidoldmansnoring
they see They see three cars in a row and they're like, oh my God, it's a traffic jam. like
00:03:45
stupidoldmansnoring
because I hear them talk about like where I live.
00:03:48
Chris
Yeah.
00:03:48
stupidoldmansnoring
Oh my God, like this' shooting Central. And they're like, oh, saw crime up in Newark. Do you understand that there are 700,000 people who live in the area of Newark?
00:04:00
Chris
Yeah.
00:04:00
stupidoldmansnoring
What are you talking about? this Of course there's crime.
00:04:04
Chris
Really, there's that many people between Shao and Ocean City?
00:04:08
stupidoldmansnoring
yes yes that's 100 yeah but like they have no concept of going to philadelphia because i there was an article like philadelphia was the most walkable city i'm like look guys you can just go to philly and walk around oh walk the walk around philly yeah and you'll be fine wear some nice walking shoes you know yeah wear some sensible shoes walk everywhere you want to go
00:04:12
Chris
ah
00:04:20
Chris
Yeah. It is.
00:04:26
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. I had a delightful time.
00:04:36
Chris
I think that when we went, there was probably one place we walked through that would have been considered shady. yeah just walked and nobody messes with you.
00:04:43
stupidoldmansnoring
wellington no i I bet nobody bothered you.
00:04:46
Chris
Yeah. I think even one gentleman waved.
00:04:49
stupidoldmansnoring
oh yeah I've walked many times in the city of philip of brotherly love.
00:04:54
Chris
Yeah.
00:04:55
stupidoldmansnoring
I am
00:04:57
Chris
Hell, I walked with my, I mean, my wife planned this, but, you walked through Baltimore City at night, you know,
00:05:05
stupidoldmansnoring
I walked in Walmart City accidentally too because my car got towed.
00:05:10
Chris
That's right. That was a Ravens game, wasn't it?
00:05:12
stupidoldmansnoring
That was Ravens game, yeah. yeah that That sucked.

00:07:39
Chris

00:07:43
stupidoldmansnoring

stupidoldmansnoring
on July 4th, which I guess they technically could.
00:07:53
Chris
FIFA World Cup 26 of 16 Turkey changed its name? No? Not that

Thursday. or turkey-ee, don't know if supposed say it anymore. And then they move
Turkey's Name Change to Türkiye
00:08:13
stupidoldmansnoring
on to the round of 16. Yeah. Pay attention.
00:08:15
Chris
turkey changed its name
00:08:17
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah, turkey, it's T-U-R-K-I-Y-E with the double dots.
00:08:20
Chris
no not to
00:08:21
stupidoldmansnoring
yeah it's it's Turkey, turkey-ee. it's t u r k i y e with the double dots
00:08:31
stupidoldmansnoring
turkey turkey
00:08:33
Chris
EY, Turkey.
00:08:36
stupidoldmansnoring
turkey e
00:08:40
Chris
Yeah. Okay. um Turkish government initiated this change to promote its culture and distance itself from the bird of the same name and the negative English dictionary definitions.
00:08:51
stupidoldmansnoring
I didn't know the reason, but I did know it happened.
00:08:51
Chris
Okay. Yeah. Yeah. It's pronounced similarly to Turkey, but ends with a distinct stressed soft E as in Turkey.
00:09:03
stupidoldmansnoring
Turkey. Okay.
00:09:06
Chris
That sounds like weird.
00:09:07
stupidoldmansnoring
Why would that be a soft E?
00:09:08
Chris
That sounds like a Italian word.
00:09:10
stupidoldmansnoring
Why would that be a soft E? I don't really understand soft and hard vowels. Why do we have...
00:09:17
Chris
Well, like, there is so much wrong with the English language.
00:09:21
stupidoldmansnoring
Why not just have four vowels?
Language Learning and Barriers
00:09:23
stupidoldmansnoring
Or four extra vowels. A soft one and a hard one.
00:09:25
Chris
Yeah.
00:09:26
stupidoldmansnoring
Wouldn't that make more sense?
00:09:26
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. It would.
00:09:31
stupidoldmansnoring
Fingers wringling. It's just bonkers.
00:09:33
Chris
Yeah.
00:09:34
stupidoldmansnoring
And I thought about like I had an existential crisis the other day.
00:09:34
Chris
Oh, it's
00:09:40
Chris
Yeah.
00:09:41
stupidoldmansnoring
It was raining. And I could not think of how I learned the word rain. How the hell do you learn the word rain? Did your dad sketch down and go, this is rain? don't think that happened.
00:09:57
Chris
No. ah Yeah. i Was it? It was probably like our parents like yeah get inside before it starts raining. And then you got inside and that.
00:10:08
Chris
eyes open and you're like oh that's what that stuff is
00:10:11
stupidoldmansnoring
So you think as a young child, if your parents said the words, get inside because it's going, it's raining, that you would then think, oh, well, I just take off the ing participle and it's now the singular rain?
00:10:26
stupidoldmansnoring
think um i don't think I'm smart enough for that.
00:10:30
stupidoldmansnoring
It's crazy how you learn the English language because it's your
00:10:36
Chris
you know more than I do because at the ing participle I don't know it's a little indie thing
00:10:40
stupidoldmansnoring
I think it's participle, right? I
00:10:47
stupidoldmansnoring
think it's participle. I don't know. I'm sorry, I sound like an idiot. It's been a long time since said grammar. But still, it just like I had an existential crisis. like How did I learn this? Because I'm going through all this and working on this French for 38 years of my life.
00:11:01
stupidoldmansnoring
I've got learn the word for rain in French, but you've got to think about it.
00:11:07
Chris
Isn't that like yeah a or something?
00:11:10
stupidoldmansnoring
Pluey.
00:11:11
Chris
Plue?
00:11:12
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah.
00:11:13
Chris
Spanish, it's. Oh,
00:11:16
stupidoldmansnoring
Right. yeah Let me tell you, I have learned how useless my French is.
00:11:23
Chris
oh from Cyril? Hmm.
00:11:24
stupidoldmansnoring
No, no, actually, I i did all right with Cyril. ah i had a I'm playing playing an online game right now. And for some reason, a lot of Spanish speakers play this game.
00:11:35
Chris
mm
00:11:36
stupidoldmansnoring
and they refuse which good on them they're spanish speakers good on them they speak they refuse to speak english in the game and i know zero spanish and they prove it to me every time and no words from french to spanish i thought they were supposed to be the same the romance languages but fuck if either one of them have anything in common with each other
00:11:39
Chris
Yeah.
00:11:43
Chris
Okay.
00:11:55
Chris
Yeah.
00:12:00
Chris
Yeah. Spanish, ah French, and Italian are all supposed to be like...
00:12:05
stupidoldmansnoring
Right, they're the romance languages, right?
00:12:06
Chris
Yeah.
00:12:07
stupidoldmansnoring
But boy, oh boy.
00:12:07
Chris
Yeah, they're supposed to be... so Yeah, because they're all from a Latin base.
00:12:11
stupidoldmansnoring
Right.
00:12:12
Chris
Hmm.
00:12:13
stupidoldmansnoring
Nah. And then one of the people in that I interacted with in this game who is an English speaker, but he's a Latin professor, is like, yeah, I use my Latin to figure out what they're saying in Spanish.
00:12:13
Chris
Okay.
00:12:21
Chris
Hmm.
00:12:24
stupidoldmansnoring
I'm like, that's crazy.
00:12:27
Chris
That's cheating.
00:12:28
stupidoldmansnoring
That's also cheating, but it's crazy. And like...
00:12:31
Chris
Huh.
00:12:32
stupidoldmansnoring
It's important multiplayer stuff and I have no idea. The one guy's like, just use Google Translate. I'm like, I'm not fast enough. These guys are like moved on. They've rattled off 12 things. I'm not Google translating that.
00:12:46
stupidoldmansnoring
So I just.
00:12:46
Chris
Oh, we'll just have it open and running.
00:12:50
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah. which's it
00:12:51
Chris
So it's constantly translating.
00:12:52
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah.
00:12:53
Chris
Yeah.
00:12:53
stupidoldmansnoring
It's text. I'm not doing that.
00:12:55
Chris
Yeah. your phone's always listening anyway.
00:12:58
stupidoldmansnoring
That's also true.
00:12:59
Chris
Yeah. I'm sure. Wait. So are they saying it are they typing it?
00:13:04
stupidoldmansnoring
typing it.
00:13:04
Chris
Okay. Well, if they're typing it, I am sure that there's some kind of add on or something you can use.
00:13:05
stupidoldmansnoring
Constantly typing.
00:13:11
stupidoldmansnoring
I'm sure, but I'm not doing it.
00:13:13
Chris
Yeah.
00:13:13
stupidoldmansnoring
I'm just going to be ignorant all the time.
00:13:13
Chris
Yeah. look i Look, you know a lot more about computers than I do. I'm sure you can figure it out.
00:13:21
stupidoldmansnoring
That seems a lot out of my and of my comfort zone.
00:13:25
Chris
Hey, look, I jailbroke my Kindle.
00:13:29
stupidoldmansnoring
Whoa.
00:13:31
Chris
Yeah.
00:13:32
stupidoldmansnoring
Whoa.
00:13:34
stupidoldmansnoring
Why?
00:13:34
Chris
I watched step by step in the show because I couldn't get Marvel Unlimited to download onto the Kindle. It's not an app in the Kindle store. Yeah. So now I can actually read my Marvel comics on my Kindle.
00:13:49
stupidoldmansnoring
this made you gonna completely go away from physical media comics?
00:13:53
Chris
I dude, I haven't bought a physical comic in honor how long. Yeah. Actually, I will tell you it's when the guy that I like, liked at the comic shop, when he moved on from that comic shop, that was about the end.
00:14:11
Chris
Because the other guy in there, I was just like, I don't like you.
00:14:15
stupidoldmansnoring
that sucks i guess
00:14:16
Chris
With your judgy eyes. if we had If we had a third eye around here, I'd probably stay with it. but
00:14:23
stupidoldmansnoring
do you think it's changed your comic book reading for the better
00:14:29
Chris
ah e Well, I will say I read more comics now.
Shift from Physical to Digital Comics
00:14:32
stupidoldmansnoring
That's what I was going to say. i um As a person who was against the Kindle at first, I would say I read way more books because of my Kindle.
00:14:41
Chris
Yeah, because with Marvel Unlimited, I've got every comic that Marvel publishes. so yeah, there are all times I'm like, you know what? I'll see what's going on with Moon Knight.
00:14:54
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah.
00:14:55
Chris
Yeah. so
00:14:55
stupidoldmansnoring
So you get everything.
00:14:57
Chris
Yeah, it's like two months delayed.
00:15:00
stupidoldmansnoring
Oh, that's not too bad.
00:15:01
Chris
Yeah. No, it's not.
00:15:04
stupidoldmansnoring
Actually, i well I don't know if i'd like that, but one of the things that frustrates me about comics is like where do you get back into it? Sure,
00:15:12
Chris
Yeah, well, that's one thing with Marvel Unlimited, which Marvel, if you want to sponsor this, feel free. um They have, like, yeah, yeah.
00:15:18
stupidoldmansnoring
they need the money. what
00:15:21
Chris
They've got lot of guides, though. It's like, ah where to start? Do you like Captain America? Click on it, it's like, if you want to read about yeah more modern Captain America, start with these comics. If you want to, you know, the broad history, read this one, this one, this one, this one. They've got all kinds of guides and stuff, and it's like, oh, you want to read the Infinity War? Here is the 28 different comics from you know all the different series sequential so you can go one by one and not have to guess well i will had to read know guardians of the galaxy 5 and then spider-man 12 they're all just buop up bup bu but yes
00:15:57
stupidoldmansnoring
That's awesome. And I'm going to side tangent to you because you just reminded me of a terrible thing that a podcast that I started listening to does. I listen to it on YouTube, which is just to know, I don't care.
00:16:10
Chris
yeah
00:16:12
stupidoldmansnoring
i don't I'm only doing it to get the information and I don't need to see the people's faces, but whatever. But they don't put their episode numbers. in the youtube title i don't know if they do this in a different format elsewhere i don't i haven't looked at them on spotify so like i'm going through the back catalog and it's generally in groups like right now i'm listening to about the 1857 indian mutiny right which was a few months ago but because it's a few months ago i can't tell you which one's the most recent one without some digging
00:16:45
stupidoldmansnoring
And then like when they pop up, I'm just like, oh is this the next one? Oh, no, no, it's not. I'm i'm out of order. So I'm listening to these things out of order because these people don't put episode numbers on their content.
00:16:52
Chris
uh
00:16:54
stupidoldmansnoring
Even if you just put India Mutiny 1, India Mutiny 2, like it would be so much easier for me as a person to know.
00:16:58
Chris
yeah too yeah right

stupidoldmansnoring
Please change this for the better.
00:17:14
stupidoldmansnoring
Great. So you know where you're at. Not ah that we do anything in any sort of logical order that it matters, but I'm trying to listen to a historical podcast.
00:17:21
Chris
no but yeah yeah bonkers
00:17:23
stupidoldmansnoring
I want it in order. Yeah. Yes.
00:17:30
stupidoldmansnoring
Bonkers. Bonkers. It's a great podcast, by the way. they Very knowledgeable historians presenting information in a great way.
00:17:36
Chris
right yeah that's yeah mind-boggling yeah
00:17:38
stupidoldmansnoring
But yeah, it just drives me a little nuts. And I'm sure it'll be fine when I catch up. Like once I'm caught up and I'm in...
00:17:48
Chris
Yeah, because it's going to be weekly or bi-weekly or monthly or whatever.
00:17:51
stupidoldmansnoring
Right.
00:17:52
Chris
But yeah until you get to that point, yeah.
00:17:52
stupidoldmansnoring
Whatever comes out next. Yeah.
00:17:56
Chris
but's like I've been taking advantage of the the free movies on YouTube when I'm on the treadmill.
00:18:01
stupidoldmansnoring
Yep.
00:18:03
Chris
Because I'm like, oh, I'll watch 30 minutes of a movie while I'm walking or whatever. so yeah But the problem is, it it gets in my brain.
00:18:10
stupidoldmansnoring
I watched...
00:18:12
Chris
Like I told my wife the other night, I dreamt that we got Or she got us tickets to Judge Dredd on ice. Because I've been watching the newer Judge Dredd, the Carl Urban one. And yeah.
00:18:28
Chris
Yeah. That's actually, it's it much better.
00:18:33
Chris
don't know.
00:18:33
stupidoldmansnoring
to disagree with you.
00:18:35
Chris
Really?
00:18:36
stupidoldmansnoring
I think it's a worse dread.
00:18:38
Chris
so
00:18:39
stupidoldmansnoring
Now, I'm going to preface this by saying I've never read any of the Judge Dredd comic books.
00:18:44
Chris
Yeah, see, neither have I.
00:18:45
stupidoldmansnoring
so But the Judge Dredd, Sylvester Stallone one just felt like more of a comic book movie to me than the Carl Urban one did.
00:18:54
Chris
I can see that. Yeah, I guess, yeah. I mean, i'm not thought it I've watched it before, but yeah. Yeah, Stallone was definitely more comic book-y. Well, yeah, I mean, Carl Arby, you could take Judge Dredd off of it and just, you know, it's, don't know, Lone Gunman or whatever.
00:19:10
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah, it's a gritty, it's a gritty sci-fi detective noir kind of thing, which is which is totally a cool movie, but I just felt like, I still feel like of the two, the the Stallone one is more comic book-y, over the top.
00:19:11
Chris
Yeah.
00:19:14
Chris
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
00:19:21
Chris
Hmm.
00:19:24
Chris
I am the law.
00:19:26
stupidoldmansnoring
I am the law! you know but Yeah. Yeah.
00:19:32
stupidoldmansnoring
They're both perfectly good movies.
00:19:34
Chris
Oh, yeah. yeah Popcorn action movies.
00:19:37
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah, yeah. It's funny, I just watched 1776 because I'm a history nerd, and it was ah free on YouTube. and It should hopefully remain free until after, know, 250th.
00:19:46
Chris
Yeah. Yeah, you would think.
00:19:49
stupidoldmansnoring
It's the only musical I watch. Yeah,
00:19:54
Chris
I guess, no.
00:19:54
stupidoldmansnoring
that's true.
00:19:56
Chris
See, I watch other musicals because I watch Disney movies.
00:20:00
stupidoldmansnoring
I do not.
00:20:01
Chris
It's a hassy.
00:20:01
stupidoldmansnoring
I don't.
00:20:03
Chris
I had new Toy Story 5s coming out.
00:20:05
stupidoldmansnoring
not not interested i haven't seen toy story not interested anymore
00:20:06
Chris
Taylor Swift has a new song in it.
00:20:11
Chris
Come on, it's Tay Tay.
00:20:14
stupidoldmansnoring
i'm not against tt i just don't care as my trivia knowledge at trivia every week shows i don't care about music
00:20:15
Chris
i know, I know.
00:20:26
stupidoldmansnoring
Our last week trivia was god awful for me. I didn't know. knew one song out of the time they played.
00:20:33
Chris
Yeah.
00:20:34
stupidoldmansnoring
And that was David Bowie's I'm Afraid of Americans.
00:20:38
Chris
Okay. Yeah.
00:20:39
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah. That was it.
00:20:42
Chris
Now, was that when he was Bowie or Ziggy?
00:20:45
stupidoldmansnoring
That's Bowie.
00:20:46
Chris
That's Bowie. Okay.
00:20:47
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah. That's for sure Bowie.
00:20:49
Chris
Yeah.
00:20:50
stupidoldmansnoring
think he's like his really early stuff.
00:20:51
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:20:53
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah. I don't remember why he did that. there was a story about something, but he's a weird dude.
00:21:01
Chris
Yeah.
00:21:02
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah. But I think after Labyrinth with his codpiece, then he became Bowie. Yeah. Again.
David Bowie Trivia and Legacy
00:21:12
Chris
Yeah, that cod piece was something.
00:21:12
stupidoldmansnoring
Good Bowie.
00:21:14
stupidoldmansnoring
Epic.
00:21:18
Chris
Yeah.
00:21:18
stupidoldmansnoring
You know, ah that movie made me realize that Jennifer Connelly is a vampire.
00:21:25
Chris
Oh, yeah. Yeah. She has not aged. Yeah.
00:21:32
Chris
David Bowie created the alter ego Ziggy Stardust in 1972 to act as an alien rock star sent to save a dying earth. His flamboyant androgynous persona challenged traditional norms in rock and roll, explore themes of fame, and create one of history's defiive definitive concept albums.
00:21:51
Chris
Hmm.
00:21:53
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah, that checks out.
00:21:55
Chris
And he took the name Ziggy because he noticed a tailor shop on a train journey and... um like the name there was probably some tailors like yeah that's my name sure it is grandpa sure it is oh yeah no oh
00:22:09
stupidoldmansnoring
It's a fun thing.
00:22:12
stupidoldmansnoring
That's right.
00:22:16
stupidoldmansnoring
I don't think most people even know Ziggy Stardust now. I think if you polled almost everybody who we work with, none of them would know who Ziggy Stardust is.
00:22:26
Chris
my gosh
00:22:28
stupidoldmansnoring
Most of them probably wouldn't know who Dave Bowie is.
00:22:32
Chris
That's going to be a fun poll to send out.
00:22:36
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah. I think you should
00:22:37
Chris
Oh my gosh. Oh my God. I could do that. I could make a poll with like, you know, Hey, we're trying to gauge the, you know, people's feelings on, i don't know, such and such and just embed in there.
00:22:47
Chris
Those two questions.
00:22:48
stupidoldmansnoring
yeah yeah you're the deputy if you can do whatever you want
00:22:55
Chris
I enjoy my job. I enjoy working on my current shift. I know who Ziggy Stardust is.
00:23:02
stupidoldmansnoring
i could tell you what year ziggy sardos came out with his album yeah then there'll be one response back positive
00:23:05
Chris
Oh my gosh. God, this is going be fun.
00:23:12
Chris
Oh, yeah. or
00:23:13
stupidoldmansnoring
Maybe two.
00:23:14
Chris
Or, I send it as a fake poll to the, to the admin like, Hey, I'm to send this out to the folks. Let me know if there's anything wrong with it.
00:23:25
stupidoldmansnoring
That is a test to see if anyone read it.
00:23:28
Chris
Yes. Yes.
00:23:32
Chris
Uh, God.
00:23:33
stupidoldmansnoring
I would say most of them will not read it.
00:23:36
Chris
yeah oh the maniac will yeah so
00:23:39
stupidoldmansnoring
Fair. Fair.
00:23:43
stupidoldmansnoring
I think I read
00:23:47
stupidoldmansnoring
less than a third of the emails that I get at work.
00:23:52
Chris
yeah once like now they give classes on like what you know like depending on who you're emailing like if it's
00:23:53
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah.
00:24:03
Chris
you the age demographic and stuff, you know, like younger, you need to put like something in the subject line, probably what you want to say in the subject line. And that's it. You know, cause some people you lose them by the second law, you know, second you know sentence in the paragraph, just, you know, do you use bullet points? I'm like, this is too much work.
00:24:23
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah. Well, the problem is we're just not good at communicating.
00:24:29
Chris
Yeah.
00:24:30
stupidoldmansnoring
And I get a lot of emails that just don't apply to me. I get so many emails from ah Prodigy trying to get me to buy Prodigy for my department.
00:24:45
Chris
Really?
00:24:46
stupidoldmansnoring
Yes. And I'm like – How did you get my email? I bet it's when I signed up for Prodigy that my department is paying for.
00:24:59
Chris
Well, I mean, you should probably, wait maybe they you should buy for your household.
00:25:05
stupidoldmansnoring
Yes, that's definitely something I'm going to have my household. Wife, we're doing airway training today.
00:25:14
Chris
Woman, did you, Did you do your prodigy?
00:25:16
stupidoldmansnoring
So.
00:25:18
Chris
Well,
00:25:18
stupidoldmansnoring
Right. cause Did your project sign out? Oh,
00:25:22
Chris
our previous LMS, I still get emails from them. The fire rescue one or whatever.
00:25:27
stupidoldmansnoring
yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:25:29
Chris
Yeah. I got one today. You have seven people in your department.
00:25:31
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah.
00:25:32
Chris
The credential is expiring. I'm like, I unsubscribed from you years ago. We stopped paying you.
00:25:40
stupidoldmansnoring
I got a... Somehow, I don't know how this happened. I got a spam that got through my Google filter... like news agency that was sending me like it was called epoch news or something it's like how did this and then and there were and like i just and there was no unsubscribing because you scroll the bottom you know look for the unsubscribe there's no unsubscribe i don't know how i subscribed in the first place i'm pretty sure i didn't and then like i had to go through the whole email and then buried in the middle was like ah here's an unsubscribe button i'm like you bastards i don't want your spam
00:25:53
Chris
OK.
00:25:57
Chris
Hmm.
00:26:00
Chris
Hmm. Hmm.
00:26:16
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah, my email my personal email, I read less than one in a thousand emails.
00:26:23
Chris
yeah oh yeah yeah yep that's a big part of it yeah yeah
00:26:25
stupidoldmansnoring
If I'm not looking for the email, mostly mostly I use my personal email as an electronic storage dump for receipts.
00:26:36
stupidoldmansnoring
That's mostly my private email at this point.
00:26:40
stupidoldmansnoring
And my work email is me going through and saying, don't care about Thrive, don't care about... Getting a free desk. Don't care about this.
00:26:50
Chris
oh my gosh yeah the swap shop stuff
00:26:53
stupidoldmansnoring
my God.
00:26:55
Chris
But evidently somebody got in trouble for that a couple months ago because they were taking the stuff to their house.
00:27:01
stupidoldmansnoring
Nice.
00:27:02
Chris
Yeah.
00:27:04
stupidoldmansnoring
But it's junk. It's trash.
00:27:05
Chris
Yeah, I know. i know. they're like What does say I can't use it at my house? Every now again, I tell her work. I guess I don't know.
00:27:14
stupidoldmansnoring
Square point.
00:27:16
Chris
ah
00:27:16
stupidoldmansnoring
But also, so it's all drunk. It's all trash.
00:27:19
Chris
Yeah. yeah Yeah.
00:27:20
stupidoldmansnoring
Who cares? 100%.
00:27:21
Chris
One man's treasure, another man's treasure.
00:27:24
stupidoldmansnoring
hundred percent Not mine.
00:27:27
Chris
Yeah.
00:27:28
stupidoldmansnoring
I want less trash my life.
00:27:29
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:27:33
Chris
Well, you're ready for topic one.
00:27:36
stupidoldmansnoring
Yep. Yep.
00:27:37
Chris
God.
00:27:38
stupidoldmansnoring
I'm going to ask a philosophical question.
Origins and Intentions of Graham Crackers
00:27:40
stupidoldmansnoring
You don't have to answer, but why am I...
00:27:42
Chris
But you got to be careful with that because the other day graham crackers broke me.
00:27:47
stupidoldmansnoring
Graham crackers broke you.
00:27:48
Chris
My wife was like, why are they called graham crackers? I was done.
00:27:50
stupidoldmansnoring
They're named after Dr. Graham.
00:27:52
Chris
What?
00:27:53
stupidoldmansnoring
Isn't that correct?
00:27:55
Chris
I don't know, but
00:27:55
stupidoldmansnoring
And it's it's, no, no, no, it's not that, it's that's not true. They're named after the flour they use. The original flour that they use in Graham crackers is called Graham flour and it's more bran than flour and it's meant as a sexual appetite to suppress it.
00:28:11
Chris
Seriously?
00:28:12
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah, I think that's correct.
00:28:13
Chris
oh my God. Yeah. I just sat there. i was like befuddled.
00:28:17
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah.
00:28:18
Chris
so I was like, what does a gram taste like?
00:28:18
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah.
00:28:19
Chris
I mean, you know, it's not, I just, yeah. So yeah.
00:28:22
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah, I think i think it's a kind of certain kind of flower. um'm I'm going to bet your car on that.
00:28:30
Chris
Bet my car.
00:28:31
stupidoldmansnoring
Oh, yeah, your car. Not my car. I need to get to work.
00:28:33
Chris
Okay.
00:28:35
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah.
00:28:35
Chris
ah All right. So what's your philosophical question?
00:28:38
stupidoldmansnoring
Why am I an idiot all the time?
00:28:42
Chris
I mean.
00:28:44
stupidoldmansnoring
Like constantly an idiot. Constantly. So last... I'm going to back this up with a story.
Procrastination and Everyday Mishaps
00:28:50
stupidoldmansnoring
So last...
00:28:51
Chris
is this about scheduling yourself again?
00:28:53
stupidoldmansnoring
No, no, no. No, no, no, no.
00:28:54
Chris
ah
00:28:55
stupidoldmansnoring
So last week, I think, or maybe the week four, two weeks ago, it rained. And I noticed the gutters were not draining. What do you think I then did in that situation?
00:29:07
Chris
Made a mental note that when it stops raining. to clean the gutters?
00:29:12
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah, do you think I did that part?
00:29:14
Chris
No.
00:29:15
stupidoldmansnoring
No. So today, when it rained, and I look outside, I'm like, huh, the gutters are not draining. So now, my dumb self is grabbing the ladder, a rain jacket, and the snake, and getting up there and draining the gutters.
00:29:36
Chris
Oh.
00:29:37
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah, so I...
00:29:41
Chris
That's not fun.
00:29:42
stupidoldmansnoring
It was not fun. It wasn't... it was Yeah, I mean... Climbing up on my two-story house in a rainstorm is not the best idea.
00:29:51
Chris
Yeah.
00:29:51
stupidoldmansnoring
And leaning over the wet gutters on the wet roof was not fun.
00:29:51
Chris
No. Yeah. Well,
00:29:56
stupidoldmansnoring
It was literally just ah ah one little piece of something that blocked the top of the drain.
00:29:59
Chris
one.
00:30:02
stupidoldmansnoring
Such an idiot. I do it to myself all the time.
00:30:04
Chris
that's well one Why were you doing that? Not the wife.
00:30:10
stupidoldmansnoring
Oh, okay. Yeah. Good luck with that, bud.
00:30:16
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:30:17
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah. but yeah Why were you cleaning the baseboards for your wife's friend coming over?
00:30:28
Chris
Yeah, that was the first thing she commented on, too.
00:30:34
Chris
I think I could have painted him neon. Neon.
00:30:36
stupidoldmansnoring
oh i
00:30:36
Chris
I never would have noticed.
00:30:37
stupidoldmansnoring
No one would ever notice.
00:30:39
Chris
I know.
00:30:39
stupidoldmansnoring
just Just like the event covers, no one will ever notice.
00:30:43
Chris
Yeah.
00:30:45
Chris
ah
00:30:46
stupidoldmansnoring
But I do this to myself constantly, where I'm like, I have to take care of this problem.
00:30:50
Chris
Yeah.
00:30:52
stupidoldmansnoring
And instead of taking care of it, I just move on with my day until it becomes a problem again.
00:30:52
Chris
Yeah. Right.
00:30:58
stupidoldmansnoring
And then it becomes a bigger problem.
00:31:00
Chris
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. It's...
00:31:03
stupidoldmansnoring
Also, i think my dr my gutters are not sloped the right way. I'm going figure out how to fix that. Yeah.
00:31:12
Chris
yeah Just put a shim in there.
00:31:15
stupidoldmansnoring
where a shim somewhere got a shim this is what chris said i should do
00:31:17
Chris
don't know. Somewhere underneath it. Yeah. ah um say
00:31:28
stupidoldmansnoring
but i consider myself fairly intellectually smart but i'm an idiot because i i
00:31:29
Chris
Yeah.
00:31:32
Chris
Oh, yeah, you are. Well, I think it's wheat. We have too much faith in our future selves.
00:31:40
stupidoldmansnoring
that is very true my past self loathes future self and present self hates both of them
00:31:42
Chris
Yeah.
00:31:47
Chris
Yeah.
00:31:51
Chris
You're exactly right.
00:31:52
stupidoldmansnoring
speak
00:31:53
Chris
Yeah.
00:31:54
stupidoldmansnoring
because present ron is like that dumb future ron's not gonna have to get up on the gutters because present ron's getting that stupid ladder out and getting on the stupid roof and putting a goddamn gutter out and he can't because past ron's an idiot and didn't do it when it was nice and sunny
00:31:55
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:04
Chris
Because Pastron didn't do it.
00:32:10
Chris
yeah yeah yeah that present ron always has to deal with
00:32:11
stupidoldmansnoring
And now it's become a problem. Again.
00:32:17
stupidoldmansnoring
The present Ron... All I do is make problems for myself. Myself. Myselves?
00:32:24
Chris
yeah yeah that's yeah it yeah i mean that that's the goal yeah but i i'm with you man i i do the same stuff
00:32:25
stupidoldmansnoring
Constantly.
00:32:29
stupidoldmansnoring
I want less problems in my life. That's what I want. I...
00:32:38
Chris
ah that's like you had me thinking about it so was at the store sunday because i had to get chlorine for the pool i said i had a extra bottle of the test strips in my hand i said nah i'll just get this later
00:33:01
stupidoldmansnoring
That seems like a bad idea.
00:33:03
Chris
knowing knowing that i had one test strip left in the bottle at home
00:33:09
stupidoldmansnoring
i was going to say, if you were like, um I don't know if I have any test strips at home. I don't want to have extra.
00:33:12
Chris
and and and no no no no my stupid self knew that i had one and still put that bottle back and said i don't need this right now what because yesterday go i'm like oh i need to need to check the levels oh that's right i can't do that because past chris hates me
00:33:30
stupidoldmansnoring
thats best past this was i you know You know what Past Ron really hates? Past Ron really hates writing grocery lists. And Present Ron really wants to punch Past Ron in the face.
00:33:44
stupidoldmansnoring
I went to the grocery store three times the other day.
00:33:48
Chris
Oh my gosh.
00:33:48
stupidoldmansnoring
not not in one day i went two days because the first time my wife said hey can you get this and i totally forgot so then i had to turn around of the store and get that but i went there specifically after the gym to get protein shakes yogurt and makings from my tomato sandwiches i know you don't like tomato sandwiches whatever got my tomatoes i got my cucumbers i got my scallions
00:33:51
Chris
ah Okay.
00:33:59
Chris
Mm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:34:14
Chris
uh you do you you didn't have bread
00:34:19
stupidoldmansnoring
I got all the way home after two trips to the store. Notice I said tomatoes, cucumbers, scallions. I didn't buy the bread.
00:34:40
Chris
ah
00:34:40
stupidoldmansnoring
I'm sitting eating my tomatoes without bread.
00:34:47
stupidoldmansnoring
Twice! did that twice to myself.
00:34:50
Chris
yeah
00:34:52
stupidoldmansnoring
And I think Past Ron is starting to wear off on the wife because she started not making lists and started to forget things, which makes me have to, which means Present Ron then has to make up the mistakes of Past Ron telling Past Sherry not to make a list.
00:35:08
stupidoldmansnoring
That is going out of control.
00:35:11
Chris
see we have a shared electronic list now
00:35:16
stupidoldmansnoring
Oh, no, no. My wife refuses.
00:35:18
Chris
Really?
00:35:18
stupidoldmansnoring
Oh, there are three things my wife refuses to do. Empty the dishwasher, put away the dishes, and use electronic lists. Refuses to do them.
00:35:32
stupidoldmansnoring
to the point where a there will be dishes stacked precariously on top of pots on top of other pots hanging off it's it's insane and we you know we use a messaging app the wife and i and i say hey i'm going to the store just message you what you want to need what you need no i'm just going to tell you i'm telling you i'm too stupid
00:35:39
Chris
Oh, no.
00:35:42
Chris
That's that's no no
00:36:02
stupidoldmansnoring
To take the information that you're about to give me, go to the gym, work out, and then reaccess the information that you've given me.
00:36:10
Chris
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:36:12
stupidoldmansnoring
I can tell you...
00:36:14
Chris
I've seen like two squirrels and a bird.
00:36:17
stupidoldmansnoring
Right.
00:36:17
Chris
In my path over to the grocery store. I got nothing.
00:36:19
stupidoldmansnoring
fright Right. um I can tell you the names of Wellington's division commanders at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. I cannot tell you the three things my wife told me had to go to the grocery store less than an hour ago.
00:36:33
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:36:34
stupidoldmansnoring
third That information is gone.
00:36:36
Chris
Yeah.
00:36:37
stupidoldmansnoring
Almost the moment it enters my brain, it's already gone.
00:36:41
Chris
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:36:44
stupidoldmansnoring
it's it's like It's like people introducing their names to me.
00:36:45
Chris
Yeah.
00:36:47
Chris
Oh God, that's a horrible thing.
00:36:49
stupidoldmansnoring
The moment you say your name, I've lost it.
00:36:52
Chris
Yep. Yep. Yep.
00:36:55
stupidoldmansnoring
I wish I had a system where i had I could look at them, tag their name, and then my brain says, oh, it's over their head, and I can see who that is.
00:36:55
Chris
Yeah.
00:37:02
Chris
Exactly. That would be so much easier. Or everybody wears a name tag.
00:37:04
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah. Or everybody wears a name tag.
00:37:08
Chris
Hmm.
00:37:09
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah.
00:37:09
Chris
Yeah.
00:37:09
stupidoldmansnoring
You want to call yourself Tyrannosaurus Rex? I don't care. But at least I see your name tag.
00:37:13
Chris
Yeah. What up T-Rex? I mean...
00:37:15
stupidoldmansnoring
Okay, what up, T-Rex? Cool. I don't care what you call yourself, but I have...
00:37:18
Chris
yeah yeah
00:37:23
stupidoldmansnoring
Legitimately, to this day, there are two Colbys who work for the Salisbury Fire Department. I couldn't tell you which one's which.
00:37:34
Chris
yeah that's like i was in a meeting or it was the groundbreaking at the zoo the other day and this i i I know I've met this woman before who works for the city. She's worked for the city for a long time. um And she comes up. Oh, hey, Chris, how are you doing? Good to see you. dot dot dot data I'm like, I don't know who you are.
00:37:52
stupidoldmansnoring
That's the worst. The worst is when they know you and you have no clue.
00:37:54
Chris
Oh, my God. Yeah. Yep.
00:38:00
stupidoldmansnoring
I've had ones where they know me and I don't even have an idea who they are. Like, I have no recollection of even meeting them. And that's bad, too.
00:38:12
Chris
Ah, yeah.
00:38:14
stupidoldmansnoring
There's something wrong with that short-term memory. The RAM is no good.
00:38:19
stupidoldmansnoring
It's...
00:38:20
Chris
ah But it's also the conversion to long term or even medium term.
00:38:25
stupidoldmansnoring
yeah mean I need the medium term. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it's like if I don't...
00:38:29
Chris
Yeah, but it's the stupid stuff that I do remember.
00:38:33
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah.
00:38:33
Chris
like i mean I, I, I, we talked about it the other day. I mean, I, I remember the, my bus numbers from elementary school. like we took the dogs to a new groomer.
00:38:46
Chris
I drove there once. I could take you there blindfolded now.
00:38:52
stupidoldmansnoring
I don't want to sound sexist. I don't know how to make this not sound sexist. But I think that's a man versus woman thing.
00:39:00
Chris
Yeah.
00:39:02
stupidoldmansnoring
My wife can't drive. We were driving to the park.
00:39:08
Chris
yeah
00:39:08
stupidoldmansnoring
We go to this park.
00:39:12
stupidoldmansnoring
almost every week we got married in the park we go to this park right yes we go there all that's what i'm saying we go there all the time there was construction in our way so i had to take like one extra turn to get there and she's like i don't know where we're at and i'm like we go here we're here more than any other place that's not our house what are you on about
00:39:13
Chris
yeah oh yeah i know where that park is could i could probably drive to that park
00:39:42
Chris
huh yeah yeah that's yeah or we'll be driving like oh did you see that such and such what what are you talking about it's like the spatial awareness while driving or riding i don't i don't understand it i think it's different don't maybe it's also because of our jobs like we're always paying attention to where we are and where we're going don't know um
00:39:44
stupidoldmansnoring
bonkers.
00:39:47
stupidoldmansnoring
and you know
00:40:06
stupidoldmansnoring
I don't know. I work with some people who I don't think are friends and to where they are.
00:40:09
Chris
ah
00:40:10
stupidoldmansnoring
or where they're going
00:40:11
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:40:15
stupidoldmansnoring
Because I can tell you, my driver couldn't tell you where anything is in the city that she drives in every day and grew up in.
00:40:24
stupidoldmansnoring
And her excuse is, well, I don't don't live here anymore. I'm like, you live three miles away.
00:40:28
Chris
yeah yeah
00:40:31
stupidoldmansnoring
it's I don't live there. You still shop and live there.
00:40:36
Chris
yeah
00:40:38
stupidoldmansnoring
Every restaurant that you have an option to go to, unless you go to the Dollar General and eat beef jerky and Snickers bars, is in the city you work in. And
00:40:47
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's.
00:40:52
stupidoldmansnoring
it's literally like four roads you got to know in that city.
00:40:55
Chris
Right.
00:40:56
stupidoldmansnoring
That's it.
00:40:57
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Give me a cross street and I can get you damn near anywhere.
00:41:01
stupidoldmansnoring
Yep, I'll give the crossroad of Marquee and Marquee.
00:41:02
Chris
Hmm.
00:41:03
stupidoldmansnoring
That's a fun one.
00:41:04
Chris
Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's a fun one.
00:41:07
stupidoldmansnoring
Northwest Road and West Road.
00:41:13
Chris
East East Road, West East Road.
00:41:15
stupidoldmansnoring
Oh, yeah, don't worry.
00:41:16
Chris
Yeah.
00:41:17
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah. Bonkers.
00:41:19
Chris
Yeah.
00:41:21
stupidoldmansnoring
That's why when I take over the world, anything that's not in a block system for a city will be demolished.
00:41:21
Chris
Hmm.
00:41:30
Chris
That's very valid point.
00:41:32
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah. City Salisbury has way too many points where the road, like multiple roads come together. those are all being demolished.
00:41:40
Chris
But like, well, six points is about to be demolished. or it's on the chopping block over there by the old board of ed grants texas or the exxon la tolteca that place yeah they're gonna put a circle in there yeah can you imagine how horrible that's gonna be
00:41:48
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah,
00:41:54
stupidoldmansnoring
yeah, yeah. Oh my God.
00:42:02
stupidoldmansnoring
Dude, they have ruined Snow Hill Road. I...
00:42:07
Chris
oh for iceland way
00:42:08
stupidoldmansnoring
Oh my God, it is terrible. That stupid circle. used to be 45 into the city line, right?
00:42:19
stupidoldmansnoring
Now it's down to 40, whatever. And then it hits 25 because you gotta go through a stupid circle. For no good reason. It's a neighborhood. It's not like it's f freaking the biggest neighborhood of the city.
00:42:31
Chris
yeah well i feel like the yeah the planners and all around here they just found out about circles because it feels like they're trying to put them everywhere now yeah
00:42:41
stupidoldmansnoring
oh yeah they just found a compass that's the problem they ah they only had triangles before and now they found a compass and they're drawing they're drawing maps going oh my god look we're like circles it's insane
00:42:57
stupidoldmansnoring
I don't think the military circle helped a thing.
00:42:57
Chris
uh no no
00:43:00
stupidoldmansnoring
And I can't imagine by the board at long Avenue, that's going to be, that's going to bonkers.
00:43:07
Chris
yeah god oh you know it'll take a while god can you imagine it's one of those bigger circles so you got like the inner lanes it's gonna be some some poor bastard just could be stuck in there hey look big ben
00:43:09
stupidoldmansnoring
Please wait like till 2029. Yeah,
00:43:15
stupidoldmansnoring
yeah i know. i know. It's a stunning start.
00:43:25
stupidoldmansnoring
Right. Can't get left. Big Ben. Parliament. Yeah.
00:43:29
Chris
ah Oh, yeah.
00:43:32
stupidoldmansnoring
The city Salisbury has just discovered the the state of New Jersey. That's what happened. Somebody from so Salisbury City Planning took a trip to Jersey was like, oh my god, there's circles everywhere.
00:43:44
stupidoldmansnoring
as there They are great when everybody knows how to use them. Right? But if you don't know what you're doing, boy boy.
00:43:52
Chris
yeah
00:43:55
stupidoldmansnoring
You just mess up everybody. And taking a boat through the circle on Mill Street is a pain in the ass.
00:44:03
Chris
Yeah, I bet.
00:44:04
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah.
00:44:05
Chris
Yeah. Yeah, shouldn't do that.
00:44:08
stupidoldmansnoring
Well, how do I get to the Marine otherwise?
00:44:13
stupidoldmansnoring
Go down college with the 7,000 speed bumps?
00:44:14
Chris
I just.
00:44:17
stupidoldmansnoring
Oh, where's the boat? Well, we lost it halfway down College Avenue because, you know, there's speed bumps and dips and humps and everything.
00:44:24
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:44:27
stupidoldmansnoring
or cut through Maryland to Wicamo go, yeah, that sounds run.
00:44:32
Chris
You're not driving.
00:44:34
stupidoldmansnoring
That's fair. That's fair. That's fair.
00:44:40
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah. They've made that a little harder for us to deploy our boat.
00:44:44
Chris
yeah yeah well yeah yeah i'm not gonna disagree
00:44:44
stupidoldmansnoring
You know, the only boat in the city we need. Just saying. Just saying.
00:44:55
stupidoldmansnoring
i don't even know they need that boat. really think we just need an inflatable boat. We can put everywhere.
Humorous Anecdotes and Everyday Heroism
00:45:01
stupidoldmansnoring
But...
00:45:01
Chris
just a line gun
00:45:04
stupidoldmansnoring
For most of what we do, yeah. Yeah. We have a line gun. Oh, we did.
00:45:08
Chris
Yeah.
00:45:09
stupidoldmansnoring
Still haven't. I imagine the ammunition for that thing is probably not good.
00:45:14
Chris
and Probably not.
00:45:16
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah.
00:45:16
Chris
Here, try this out, Proby.
00:45:18
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah, I'm going to go stand over behind that brick wall. should like ah Well, the skirt the moral of my story is I'm an idiot and I acknowledge I'm an idiot all the time.
00:45:33
stupidoldmansnoring
And I mean, even stubborn or idiot because I said, no I'm going to get up on this roof and fix this stupid gutter now.
00:45:33
Chris
Yeah.
00:45:39
Chris
That's, yeah, I mean, that's a whole level of dedication right there.
00:45:43
stupidoldmansnoring
Well, because I know that if I didn't do it right then, what was going to happen?
00:45:46
Chris
The next rainstorm is when you will find it.
00:45:47
stupidoldmansnoring
the next race to her i'll be like god damn it why didn't i do the stupid gutter and i don't understand it because the the front gutters are perfectly clear that's where all the leaves are why are the back gutters the ones that are clogged up with leaves i'm gonna
00:45:53
Chris
Yeah.
00:45:56
Chris
Yeah.
00:46:00
Chris
Yeah. Hmm.
00:46:05
Chris
Hmm. Squirrels.
00:46:09
Chris
Yeah. ah You should train them to clean the gutters.
00:46:12
stupidoldmansnoring
train them by rubbing their little stupid furry asses through the gutter like a snake
00:46:21
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah.
00:46:22
Chris
Evidently domesticated squirrels can live up to like 20 years old.
00:46:26
stupidoldmansnoring
Huh.
00:46:26
Chris
Yeah. In the wild, like three to five. But domesticated, up to 20.
00:46:33
stupidoldmansnoring
I see the turtle today.
00:46:35
Chris
Oh, good for you.
00:46:36
stupidoldmansnoring
we we were driving around this morning and my wife says, there's a turtle. It's stuck on the, cause it can get up the curb.
00:46:41
Chris
hmm
00:46:41
stupidoldmansnoring
She's like, you have to get it up. I'm like, goddammit. Stopped the car, picked up the turtle. And she says, you're finally a hero. And I looked at her and I just
00:46:51
Chris
you should have chucked that turtle at her can't believe she said that oh my god that is horrible
00:46:52
stupidoldmansnoring
i just wanted to punch her. Like I've never wanted to punch to my wife more than right that moment. is You're finally a hero. because She picked the turtle up. Yeah.
00:47:06
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah. like There's very little things I have in my life, but I think being a hero is one of them. At least sometimes.
00:47:12
Chris
yeah
00:47:16
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah. That's my loving wife.
00:47:24
stupidoldmansnoring
Well, let me move on topic two.
00:47:27
Chris
sure so I got thinking about this the other day because we went to a restaurant we like to go to and from jump I won't say from jump from the time we were seated And had our first interaction with the
Dining Experiences and Customer Loyalty
00:47:45
Chris
waiter.
00:47:45
Chris
So the end of the night. It was not a good experience.
00:47:49
stupidoldmansnoring
Oh boy. Like,
00:47:50
Chris
The waiter was pretentious. He was. Explaining the drinks. Because they make. They use. kind what it was Shrubs.
00:48:01
Chris
So this has an apricot shrub. No evidently it's some kind of Like I don't know. They soak the stuff in. the i i don't I started tuning him out. As soon as he started to talk down to me.
00:48:14
Chris
But we get done at the end and
00:48:20
Chris
what's your recourse at that? Oh, I'm going leave a bad tip. But does that really teach him anything?
00:48:26
stupidoldmansnoring
Yes.
00:48:27
Chris
No, it doesn't because we haven't given him feedback on what he screwed up.
00:48:31
stupidoldmansnoring
The feedback is the tip. That I think, I think that is where we've lost the whole tipping culture, right?
00:48:33
Chris
Right, right, right. But.
00:48:38
stupidoldmansnoring
Like the feedback of the tip was you got a good tip because you were a good server. Now it's we default to giving you a good tip because you rely on their money, which cool.
00:48:43
Chris
Yeah.
00:48:47
Chris
Yeah.
00:48:50
stupidoldmansnoring
But part of relying on that money is you gotta be a good server and being the condescending
00:48:51
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. or they just flipped a little screen over to you when you're picking up food, which I don't like.
00:48:59
stupidoldmansnoring
yeah I don't like that either.
00:49:00
Chris
Yeah.
00:49:01
stupidoldmansnoring
ah Or...
00:49:02
Chris
But no ah let me fill something out.
00:49:03
stupidoldmansnoring
Where did Oh.
00:49:07
Chris
Get done. so you know, here, scan this QR code.
00:49:09
stupidoldmansnoring
I remember...
00:49:12
Chris
Hey, your server was Fred. Was Fred polite one through five was timely.
00:49:18
stupidoldmansnoring
Condescending asshole.
00:49:19
Chris
All these, yeah let me fill these out and give me a free text. Now I'm sure you're going to get some whack jobs back and you know here and there. yeah You always exclude the variables, but that way his boss at the end could say, Fred, i got 20 reviews on you this week.
00:49:37
Chris
You did a damn good job for 19 of them. This one says this and that. Fred could say, oh yeah, they were, you know, The guy had an attitude as soon as he came in. Or it could be, Fred, these are overwhelmingly negative. What's going on?
00:49:53
stupidoldmansnoring
But shouldn't the server's boss already know if the server's an asshole? It's not his job.
00:50:01
Chris
but I guess if you're not... Because the boss doesn't know what the the kind of tips they're getting for the most part.
00:50:10
stupidoldmansnoring
well it depends if it's electronic or not but on the flip side they do keep track of returning customers or at least really good restaurants do like restaurants that want to actually make money and you're very much not likely to return to that restaurant can i guess the restaurant is it in salisbury is it on eastern short drive
00:50:12
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:50:20
Chris
Yeah.
00:50:24
Chris
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:50:34
stupidoldmansnoring
is next to it a crab slash fish restaurant place okay i had the same experience there at that place and i've never been back i went there i just i think i was down for work for something and i was like oh i've never been here let me check it out and the servers were snotty assholes and the food wasn't
00:50:40
Chris
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
00:50:48
Chris
Yeah.
00:50:53
Chris
Yeah.
00:51:01
stupidoldmansnoring
up to what i consider par and it was crazy expensive um yeah i never went back
00:51:05
Chris
Yeah.
00:51:09
Chris
yeah I mean, to the point, like partway through the meal, one of our one of our quote unquote regular waitresses was like oh hey guys how are you doing everything kind of looks like where's your food where's you know this and that that's you know it's like if the other waiter know waitstaff is recognizing this stuff doro
00:51:29
stupidoldmansnoring
yeah know the problem is um fred doesn't care fred's just a douchebag and the problem now is he just gets 20 defaulted so he doesn't care right like he's he's not going to improve if you keep giving him 20 you know and some people probably even give him to more than that that's i'm not
00:51:33
Chris
oh yeah i'm sure he doesn't yeah yeah
00:51:46
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. um Yeah.
00:51:52
Chris
Oh, yeah, I'm sure. because they oh Because there was this other group that he was sucking up to. Yeah. Yeah. Correct.
00:52:00
stupidoldmansnoring
I'm not a big fan of the default to 20% tip. I, I, I tip 20%. If you do what I consider the minimum, right?
00:52:10
Chris
Correct.
00:52:12
stupidoldmansnoring
Like we got our food on time. Look, I don't, I understand that things happen. Like if you say, Hey, look, we're really backed up. The food's going to be a little delayed. Here's some drinks. You know, I'm cool with that. Cause if I'm going out to dinner, it's like, if I'm taking that time, I'm committing some time to going out to dinner.
00:52:28
Chris
right but as long as you're communicating with me and letting me know these things yeah yeah that's right
00:52:29
stupidoldmansnoring
So I'm cool with that. But if you just ignore me, right. Right. If you just ignore me and do nothing, ah you don't deserve 20% to me because that's your, your job is to entertain me. Dance clown, dance.
00:52:50
Chris
But yeah, your job is to wait on me.
00:52:53
stupidoldmansnoring
Right. Right. Like,
00:52:55
Chris
It's in your title.
00:52:56
stupidoldmansnoring
I could take this food and take it to go and pay you no tip and eat the same food.
00:53:00
Chris
Right.
00:53:02
stupidoldmansnoring
I'm paying for the experience of being in this restaurant.
00:53:05
Chris
Yeah.
00:53:06
stupidoldmansnoring
I don't like doing it most times. I'd rather just eat in my own house. But if I'm going out to eat, I want to have a good experience.
00:53:11
Chris
Yeah.
00:53:13
stupidoldmansnoring
And if you're not doing that, you're not getting a good tip from me.
00:53:14
Chris
Yeah. Exactly.
00:53:17
stupidoldmansnoring
yeah i I remember still vividly to this day.
00:53:20
Chris
Hmm.
00:53:21
stupidoldmansnoring
There was a restaurant that we used to go to as kids called Ivy all the time. It was called the Ivy. I didn't know. I could tell you where it was, but you don't care.
00:53:29
Chris
Hmm.
00:53:29
stupidoldmansnoring
We went to this restaurant. We were regulars there because my dad was a big eating out guy.
00:53:33
Chris
OK.
00:53:34
stupidoldmansnoring
It was like his thing.
00:53:35
Chris
Yeah.
00:53:37
stupidoldmansnoring
And we were at this restaurant and it's like seven o'clock on a Saturday night or something like that. we it's now eight o'clock and we didn't get our food.
00:53:48
stupidoldmansnoring
It's like now not.
00:53:48
Chris
Hmm.
00:53:50
stupidoldmansnoring
And then like, I think we got our food and then it's like, we're not getting drinks or we never saw our waitress again.
00:53:57
Chris
Oh
00:53:57
stupidoldmansnoring
And we sat there for like another hour. And my dad's just fuming, getting angry and angry and angry. And then we found out like the waitress quit in the middle of the service.
00:54:06
Chris
my gosh.
00:54:07
stupidoldmansnoring
And like, no one came and gave us our bill or anything. And my dad was just like, we're leaving at this place. We'd never gone back. Which is like this this kind sad. It just takes one bad experience to ruin that restaurant for you.
00:54:20
Chris
Yeah. Right.
00:54:22
stupidoldmansnoring
But that's how it goes, I guess.
00:54:23
Chris
ah I mean, yeah, i mean, this restaurant is going to be in a cool down period for a while for us.
00:54:28
stupidoldmansnoring
I mean, it's been in a cool down for me for like 15 years. i don't It's never open. i don't even I didn't think it was in business the other day.
00:54:33
Chris
Yeah.
00:54:34
stupidoldmansnoring
It's never open. why i
00:54:35
Chris
It's got weird hours.
00:54:37
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah, my driver was saying that like they do weird like events there now, which is always a sign the restaurant's not doing well. Like once they start doing like paint by numbers at the freaking restaurant, you're like, oh, you guys are going out of business.
00:54:50
stupidoldmansnoring
And you're just trying anything to say.
00:54:52
Chris
Yeah.
00:54:53
stupidoldmansnoring
Isn't it owned by the same guy who used to own Evo?
00:54:57
Chris
No, it's still the same. Yeah. They own like four restaurants.
00:55:03
stupidoldmansnoring
They have specific gravity too or something.
00:55:03
Chris
Yeah.
00:55:06
stupidoldmansnoring
can't remember.
00:55:07
Chris
No.
00:55:08
stupidoldmansnoring
can't remember what, who owns what. It's only like three people.
00:55:10
Chris
Yeah, I think Gravity is separate.
00:55:13
stupidoldmansnoring
Hmm.
00:55:13
Chris
But that place, the last time we went there for lunch, was dead.
00:55:18
stupidoldmansnoring
Really?
00:55:18
Chris
Yeah.
00:55:21
stupidoldmansnoring
think it's because the coffee shop left.
00:55:25
Chris
Maybe. don't know. But again, that fucking coffee shop.
00:55:31
stupidoldmansnoring
I don't know why you go there.
00:55:32
Chris
I went to.
00:55:33
stupidoldmansnoring
i honestly have no...
00:55:34
Chris
I, I, I, Chris Truitt do not my my.
00:55:35
stupidoldmansnoring
you it You text me more about that single coffee shop and how much you hate it than any other thing.
00:55:39
Chris
Oh, my God. My daughter, my daughter, like my daughter likes their breakfast sandwiches because they have a nice gluten free bread and yeah.
00:55:49
stupidoldmansnoring
But I get texts constantly about it.
00:55:50
Chris
But even like the other day, like I ordered on I ordered online. so my food should be written and i get there i get a 30 minute wait for a bacon egg and cheese
00:56:04
stupidoldmansnoring
Which one do you go to? you go to the new one or the Riverside Drive one?
00:56:08
Chris
now the new one because the riverside drive one doesn't have food they only have like scones and things but yeah but i get home and wife wife goes huh i guess they switch things up i said what are you talking about she's like well it looks like they have
00:56:12
stupidoldmansnoring
I don't know. I don't go to either one of them. so
00:56:23
Chris
pre-made little egg and it was a per they um each sandwich had a perfectly round little egg patty was like well if they're making those ahead of time it shouldn't take that long anyway is there a there was a part of me who went to drive back there and take that little egg patty and shove it somewhere yep
00:56:42
stupidoldmansnoring
I just, I feel like twice a month I get a text about how bad you hate Netflix. And then you just keep going back.
00:56:49
Chris
yeah yeah
00:56:51
stupidoldmansnoring
I i don't know why I didn't just say, look, kid, you have a license. You went there. Go get it. And when you go, stop and get me a Dunkin' Donuts sandwich because it's the same goddamn sandwich and cheaper and quicker.
00:57:05
Chris
And you would think, well, like the the coffee staff, because it's like separated, there's the kitchen staff and then the coffee idiots. And then whatever.
00:57:14
stupidoldmansnoring
Barifas, I believe they like to be called.
00:57:16
Chris
Yeah. But like for them, they've got a clock up for their drive through. And as soon as it gets past a minute, it turns red because it's taking too long.
00:57:29
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah, yeah, well, that's fair.
00:57:31
Chris
But like there was somebody else. college kids sitting there. was like, you waiting for food too? Yeah. I said, might as well apply for graduation now. and Maybe you'll get it by the time. God. But you think like, oh, sir, I know you're standing there waiting. Do you want a cup of coffee on us?
00:57:48
stupidoldmansnoring
I'm not going to that.
00:57:48
Chris
Something. No.
00:57:50
stupidoldmansnoring
It's funny. People on my shift love that place and their tea sucks.
00:57:54
Chris
But none of, I bet none of them get coffee.
00:57:59
stupidoldmansnoring
it depends on how you loosely define the word coffee.
00:58:02
Chris
Exactly. None of them get. black energy with a little bit of cream and sugar maybe in it no they get one of those maca waka frou-frou i'll let me get yeah two pumps uh almond and yeah
00:58:14
stupidoldmansnoring
It's fair.
00:58:20
stupidoldmansnoring
I think about all the time because used to work when I was very young in high school. I worked at Dunkin Donuts and we served two things. I guess three things if you count a decaf.
00:58:32
stupidoldmansnoring
There was coffee and donuts.
00:58:32
Chris
i was gonna say regular and decaf there's your two things
00:58:35
stupidoldmansnoring
That was it.
00:58:35
Chris
hmm yeah yeah
00:58:37
stupidoldmansnoring
And you go to a Dunkin Donuts now and it's like, oh my God. There's all this crap on here. These poor donuts people have to like make. And that's why they're getting more money than the fire department, because they've got freaking make 78 different freaking drinks.
00:58:51
Chris
yeah but they don't make the donuts anymore sad yeah yeah
00:58:51
stupidoldmansnoring
Crazy. They do not make the donuts anymore, and that's disappointing. Yeah. yeah oh I went to i i went to a bagel bakery that in town that I hadn't been to since I worked there probably 20 plus years ago.
00:59:08
stupidoldmansnoring
I walked in there. um
00:59:10
Chris
add your picture on the wall best employee ever yeah yeah
00:59:11
stupidoldmansnoring
they do to Keep this guy up. but I walked in there. It was exactly the same. I mean, everything was the same from 20. Oh, yeah, I worked there 2000.
00:59:27
stupidoldmansnoring
Yeah, it had to be early 2000, like 2001 maybe.
00:59:29
Chris
hmm yeah
00:59:31
stupidoldmansnoring
So it was 25 plus years ago that worked in this restaurant and everything. I mean, and then I thought about that. I was ew, everything in here is 25 years old.
00:59:44
stupidoldmansnoring
Like the microwave is 25 years old. the The bagel, you know, toaster is 25 years old.
00:59:49
Chris
hmm yeah but if they keep it clean yeah hmm hmm all right bad not near a step above
00:59:50
stupidoldmansnoring
was like, oh, that's, but it was a good bagel. Yeah, yeah, it's fair. this just You can tell that it was old.
01:00:01
stupidoldmansnoring
But also, to you this, the bagels aren't as good as when I made them.
01:00:09
stupidoldmansnoring
Well, yeah, it's the most rewarding job I've ever had in my life. Because you know what?
01:00:12
Chris
yeah yeah yeah
01:00:14
stupidoldmansnoring
At the end of your shift, you had made bagels. At the end of my shift in the fire department, i go, what did I do today?

So i have ah that actually is ah raises an interesting tip question. Do you, ah you probably, I mean, you don't we don't do and don't sit in the bars anymore, right?
01:02:13
stupidoldmansnoring
You don't like, but every once in while, the wife and I will go to the like a brewery and we'll sit there and have a couple beers.
01:02:13
Chris
Not really. Yeah. Yeah. We'll do that every now and again.
01:02:19
stupidoldmansnoring
do you tip every time you drink or do you start a tab and just tip at the end yeah even when i had to pay cash for beers like if i was sitting in a bar i would just pay for the beer and then i would tip to the end yeah because otherwise it gets messed up screw up your whole system gets screwed up like it's both
01:02:26
Chris
tip at the end yeah
01:02:34
Chris
yeah yep yep it does ah yeah yeah right 50
01:02:43
stupidoldmansnoring
Beers used to be like $2. So if I tip $3 or if I pay $3 every time, then I'm giving them more than 20%.
01:02:49
Chris
that's ridiculous
01:02:51
stupidoldmansnoring
That's a 50% tip. Yeah. Can I remember when beer was cheap?
01:02:53
Chris
that's ridiculous
01:02:56
Chris
Yeah, yeah.
01:02:57

01:03:24
stupidoldmansnoring
Okay. First off, like I think it's better to have a conversation. that ah There's no cherry or pineapple or other crap. It's just a solid wheat beer.
01:03:34
Chris

01:03:36
stupidoldmansnoring
It's probably one of the most pure beers you can get in America anymore.

stupidoldmansnoring
They do good.
