00:04:48
Speaker
And the the company takes us all out. there's like It was like a big group of us and then this other group. And we're all sipping Tiki drinks. And it was really fun. And then the host, there's like a host who tries to like incorporate games and stuff, which I was like, I was like, don't need that shit. I don't like em my friends. I don't like him.
00:05:06
Speaker
He was like kind of intense, though. There is something about him. i don't You are going to fucking play Cornhole and you're going to love every second of it, brother. Yeah. There was something about him where I'm like, you used to, you were on something back in the day, like you went a little too hard in the eighties or the nineties. And now, now you're here. He kind of came off like that, but with the alcohol, it kind of numbed it away and you kind of enjoyed his antics. But then we went to a bar across the street from my hotel, which was awesome. There's nothing, there's nothing better than going to like a destination and your hotel is what neighborhood where did you, where did you stay in what neighborhood did you stay at in um my husband i was i was in little italy oh no uh i was in i don't remember i have to look up my hotel stay cool story hansel i'm sorry i am so sorry what was the name of the bar do you remember the name of but the bar
00:06:10
Speaker
No, it was called like... Hold on. I'll tell you in a second. Because I'll give a little shout out to the bar. So, by the way, it's not the bar's fault that I got into a fight, by the way. The bar is actually really cool. I liked it a lot. It was super nice. So, ah it was Club Marina...
00:06:28
Speaker
Okay. Yeah, it was Club Marina, more near, I'm going to say La Playa. La Playa. It was by Yacht Club. It was by the Yacht Club Condos. It was by Roseville Fleet Ridge. Not that anyone gives a fuck, but that's where it was. ah And it was a really cool bar. But...
00:06:48
Speaker
So ah but the birthday boy, he kind of went hard. I've never had so many jello shots in my life. I don't know how I survived, honestly, because I get sick easily. But I was one of the the strong ones at the end.
00:06:59
Speaker
i like it. braddy The Florida is strong in you, my son. Yeah. So, um yeah. So anyway, ah the party kind of ended when he started throwing up in the bathroom. And then every pretty much the whole group went home. my Me and my buddy, we went back to the hotel room because, again, right across the street. So nice.
00:07:20
Speaker
And we chilled. But then I have a local friend who wanted to hang out because, ah you know, he lives in San Diego. And I was like, oh, man. I was so dead tired. It was like, it was 10 and we were drinking since 11 AM. m So I was so proud of you. Yeah, it was, ah it was a rough one. I tell you, good job, buddy. More applause, more applause. So proud you. Got this too.
00:07:52
Speaker
What is it? It's a token. For those who can't see. Oh, it's like a a gold thing. Oh, and I got i got what do you call it? The Lays. You got laid. I got that too. Anyway. us Oh, that's really important to the story. So I had a necklace of lay of lay, you know, the Hawaiian necklace. but you had you You had a lay on. OK, go on. i had a lay on. And so I meet up with the buddy who's a local and I was so dead tired. But i was like, I can't not, I guess, because how often am I really here?
00:08:20
Speaker
And we play a game of pool. um And my my friend, he you know, he tells me he doesn't really get out much. So he was very excited to play pool um and, you know, took took it kind of seriously. And I even joke with him. I'm like, dude, if I win this game of pool, you ain't sleeping tonight. I just know. i just know you know if you ever played like an intense game. I was running the table. Oh, shit. Yeah. But I was running the table.
00:08:46
Speaker
Yeah, luckily, luckily he did win. It did come down to the eight ball. So it was like, okay, oh you know, it's not like he whooped me. Okay. all right. All you needed, do all you needed was a cigarette in your mouth and you'd be right back in Florida, baby. There you go. I know.
00:08:59
Speaker
Oh, hell yeah. So anyway, we were done. And this other group of friends wanted to play. And my friend was like, I don't know, man, like I kind of want to keep playing pool. And me, you know, me, I'm just like, I'm like, nah, we can leave. Like, let someone else play the pool table. But he was like, no, I really want to play another one. Can I play you guys? If he is running the table.
00:09:22
Speaker
We played one game and he really wanted to play another. And so he was like kind of begging him like, oh, I'll play you guys. Come on, guys. I just don't want to. I just don't want to stop playing. And I'm like, I'm not going to play. But if you want to play these people, go for it.
00:09:36
Speaker
And so I just watch. I know where this is going. Everybody who's ever drank, you know, drank in a bar and played pool. Everyone sees where this is going. Go on. Yeah, and so I'm just watching from the sidelines. I'm not involved in the game. And that for the most part, it was a weird eclectic group of people, Ron.
00:09:55
Speaker
Oh. Well, San Diego. So the leader
Skepticism Around Health Reports
00:09:59
Speaker
of the group was the coolest. He had a Nickelback hoodie on. The guy was cool. he was you could tell he was chill.
00:10:05
Speaker
And then he had like these two girls with them. I'm just picturing like John Travolta and the T-Birds like right now is what i'm picturing. That's kind of... Yeah, but it was so weird ah because there was this one girl. Oh, so obnoxious. So I am i will always be the opposite. You know, the guys that like you see them in movies. Anytime there's like a hot girl that walks by in the movie, they're like, whoa, look at her. Am I right, guys? And even in high school, too, like I would be sitting with friends and maybe an attractive girl is about to walk by you at lunch.
00:10:40
Speaker
I know she's attractive. But i what's annoying me is that I know all the guys I'm talking to, the conversation is going to stop and they're all going to look and say something.
00:10:52
Speaker
Not to her, but to like the group, like, whoa. It's just locker room talk. Yeah, it's annoying. I've never done it. It was always obnoxious to me. um And I remember even one time... ah Sorry, I'm getting a little off track. i' no you dont keep No, keep going. I'm going to write someone's name down from high school. Okay, all right. Okay, so don't say it out loud. Yeah, I am i i have absolutely...
00:11:18
Speaker
Oh, yes. When she. Yeah. So my mighty she came. She joined during middle school. I think it was seventh or eighth grade. And everybody was just like a pinnacle new hot girl in school. Probably the hottest girl in high school. If I were. I disagree, but that's OK. Go on. Oh, okay. ah Oh, you have to tell me later. like Well, in my opinion, definitely the hottest girl in high school for me. And I remember she would have like puppy dog guys following her around. And I remember I stopped one of them and I was like, Hey, why do you keep following her around?
00:11:51
Speaker
And just like, nope just brain dead. He's like, Oh, she's hot. And I'm like, oh, I mean, I knew that answer. I mean, i mean at 17 years old, you know, you know yeah as high schoolers, our hormones are a little out of whack and we also don't always know how to act. So I would understand that in high school, but how does this go to the bar? I kind of want to add a tangent about it. why brought you back. One girls, she seemed like almost like she was trying to do a tease. She would walk between us all the time. guarantee she was. with like a weird Oh, she just moved from Vegas, so it makes sense. She has like a weird stretch going on. We died with those girls, Papi.
00:12:28
Speaker
Yeah. And I was just like, what is she doing? Like, I like even my old high school brain. i was like, dude, this is fucking annoying. wants you to suck her toes. That's pretty much. No, I know. I think she just wanted you to drool over. Like, I was just annoyed. probably no The group was just weird. It was they're all weird in their own way. But one guy was sitting silently.
00:12:47
Speaker
This is the man of the story. One guy was sitting silently, not causing a problem at all. He was just watching. But something was going on. Something was boiling up. And so, i again, I'm not playing pool.
00:12:59
Speaker
It's my friend. He's playing pool. And he gets up and he stands next to me. And he's like... Where'd you get that? And he's talking about the lay. I have the flowers around my neck. And I'm like, oh, you know, I could already tell his demeanor was weird, but I wasn't sure because he didn't show any signs of being a problem. It's not like he was a dick earlier. And I'm like, oh, he's just an asshole. Robert hasn't been in bars too often. no i had not like this like this And ah he's like, yeah, where'd you get that?
00:13:24
Speaker
And I was like, oh, I was on a tiki cruise with some friends for a birthday. and I'm trying to keep it nice. And he's like, yeah, oh yeah, well, I want it, give it to me. And he starts doing the give it to me, and he keeps repeating, like, give it to me.
00:13:36
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, I want it, give it to me. He's just trying to be like, you know, he's trying to show dominance, quote unquote. it was like, It wasn't scary. I wasn't scared. I was more awkward. I'm like, dude, this is fucking weird because it came out of nowhere.
00:13:50
Speaker
And I'm not a puff my chest guy. So I always try to deescalate a situation no matter what. And um I went up to the leader of the pack, Nickelback man. And also, sorry, leaf blower coming through the outside of my apartment. i don't know if you can hear it a little bit. Nothing crazy. OK, sorry about that, guys.
00:14:08
Speaker
um Do they not know I'm recording a podcast? Maybe I should like... Anyway, Robert, come back. come here harry three Come here. Come here. Okay. So I go up to Nickelback guy and I just whisper. I'm like, hey, your friend's acting weird.
00:14:22
Speaker
And luckily for him, he was like a... he was like He wasn't an idiot guy. He saw his friend and he's like... You could tell on his face. He's like, yeah, he's acting weird. And he like calmed him down.
00:14:32
Speaker
And oh yeah, he was like, he was like, give me the, give me the lay, give me the necklace or whatever. Yeah. Show, show me it outside. Show me it outside. Out of nowhere. I wasn't talking to this guy at all. It was the most awkward situation.
00:14:44
Speaker
And then, uh, and then they left and, uh, that was yeah that was That was the quote-unquote altercation. And I'm just like, what that guy must have been stewing that my friend took over the pool table. That's my guess.
00:14:58
Speaker
And I'm a guy with a flowery necklace on. Easy target. I don't know. What what what are your thoughts, Ron?
00:15:07
Speaker
For the past 15 minutes, I really thought there was going to be more of an arc to this. No, that's it. Yeah, that's the end of the story. ah For those of you still engaged, I appreciate it. Um, but then I took out my dagger and we, there we go, baby. There we go. And he took out his butterfly knife and we started doing like the, the music video from beat So the the guy with the guys obviously had too many shots. He's a little too drunk.
00:15:32
Speaker
He's a little too drunk. He may have been on Coke. So something. So was so out of nowhere. was so of nowhere. Very well could have been on Coke. I mean, luckily his friend was of sound mind to be like, dude, what are you doing?
00:15:44
Speaker
um yeah who knows at that point when you're that far gone who knows what's pissing you off right he could really like this girl that's walking by with with her vegas vagine all over the place and it was so weird and she was i will say that we'll say this though if she was hot okay but like how many hot women are in san diego How many high people are in San Diego? Yeah. like I go to San Diego. I'm like, I'm fucking fat. Oh, you know, another thing I think it was that we, we speculated that the other girl might've been his girlfriend. Not sure though, but she was playing my buddy in pool and well, no, she wasn't playing against them. They were, they were doing teams. So this guy felt it was necessary in his altered state of mind to come up to you and go, give me your fucking necklace.
00:16:34
Speaker
Yeah. Robert, the man is a closeted homosexual. Yeah. Okay. He's deeply closeted. And there's nothing wrong with that.
00:16:45
Speaker
However, two things were going to happen. You were going go outside and you were going, he you were he was going to get the lay or he was, you were going to go outside with him and he was going to get laid.
00:16:56
Speaker
One of the two were going to happen. He was going to get the lay either way, brother. I am. As far as bar fights for me, there have been a few altercations. um Luckily, usually when I'm at the bar, I do not fuck with people. yeah I do not do that.
00:17:14
Speaker
um The only time I've ever almost been to fight with people are sports related things. Because I will be in the bar, which is my bar, with my Tampa Bay Lightning jersey on.
00:17:27
Speaker
They're playing the Rangers in a playoff game, and I'm rooting for Tampa Bay. Right. Because they're my team. I'm not being a dick. They're my team. They score a goal. I start clapping. You know, they do a penalty kill. I start clapping. Not that you know what any of this means. But, yeah.
00:17:42
Speaker
Yeah, I lost it after sports. That's fine. And go fuck yourself. And so some people look at me like, you know, don't shut the fuck up. I'm like, dude, I'm cheering for my team. Right, right.
00:17:55
Speaker
Luckily for me, i usually when I'm doing those things, there are my friends are all there and my friends are usually like leave Ron alone kind of thing.
00:18:06
Speaker
um And I appreciate that. However, I, you know, can't defend for myself. i'm not afraid of the guy. But like that's the only time I ever come to altercations is like there was one time. And then we'll go on and we'll move on.
00:18:17
Speaker
This guy wanted to fight me. He was, I was wearing my Tampa Bay lightning stuff and they were playing the Rangers in the playoffs. This was 2015. twenty fifteen Okay. And a guy comes up to me and he's like, are you really from Tampa Bay? Are you just a pissed off Islanders fan wearing Tampa Bay stuff?
00:18:35
Speaker
So at the time I still had my Florida ID. So I whip it out and then I take out my ID and And yeah, no, I show him my ID and I'm like, listen, this is Spring Hill, Florida. This is an hour north of Tampa. This is where I grew up. I am a diehard fan.
00:18:54
Speaker
And he's like, okay, as long as you're a fan. I'm like, yeah, dude. So i was just kind of like, fuck you. yeah But you know, alcohol is a hell of a drug. Yeah, well, have a drug. my My my only thing that he could have been mad about if that other girl was his girlfriend. She was the teammate of my friend in the pool table, which, by the way, once we played one game of pool, it's only one pool table, by the way, in this bar. And another group wanted to play. It was getting late. It was like one in the morning. I would have said.
00:19:23
Speaker
Yeah, play your game. They obviously wanted to play with their own group of friends. They didn't want my buddy playing with them. I could tell. I could read the room, but my buddy was adamant on playing another game, whether it was with me or not.
00:19:36
Speaker
i i am I wasn't for that. I would have said just, hey, you guys are trying to get out as much as we are. Play. But what I'm thinking happened is... So that girl was teammates with my buddy who was obviously taking the game very seriously. She was terrible.
00:19:52
Speaker
She was absolutely awful. Like I'm talking hit the pool stick, miss, miss the ball. It it was bad. But and my buddy was kind of like, oh, this sucks. Like, you know, you know what? Maybe maybe I should. He was even saying, like, maybe I shouldn't. We should end the game. And I'm like, who cares? Like this girl's having fun. And I was trying to encourage her. And I was like, hey, just shoot with confidence. Shoot like you don't give a fuck. And I'm just like throwing stuff at her. And I could see maybe him not liking the fact that I was encouraging his girlfriend maybe.
00:20:23
Speaker
and I was like the only guy being nice to her. But it wasn't anything like flirty. It was just like she clearly was bad at pool. But I think she was also nervous. yeah like you know You know what your problem is You know what your problem is, Robert? Uh-oh.
00:20:36
Speaker
And it's not really a problem. It's just a problem. ah You're too nice. Oh, I knew that was going to happen. too nice and you don't know. you know you don't know i can be a jerk sometimes. You got to be careful when you're talking to a woman at a bar because if they're not single, that man could be. that You got to be careful.
00:20:55
Speaker
Yeah, I've definitely had the problem of niceness being like mistaken for flirtiness. Yeah, for sure if I'm ever talking to just some random person at a bar and it's her girl. then I noticed a guy is there with her.
00:21:09
Speaker
i will immediately bring him into the conversation. Yes. Yes. Because do the same thing. I do the same thing. I don't want to smash your girl unless you want to do a cuckold situation where you watch, sir. But otherwise, no, absolutely not. But no. And, you know, but not every guy is that respectful either.
00:21:25
Speaker
So, you know, as a male, it's almost like, you know, animal dominance kind of thing. It's like, yeah. talking smart woman yeah So it's, Alcohol is a hell of a drug, man. It's a yeah hell of a drug.
00:21:36
Speaker
Yeah, it was interesting for sure. well I'm happy I didn't run into you in San Diego then because it sounds like a clusterfuck event. Yeah, well, it was it was a fun time, honestly. Like, I had a lot of fun hanging out with my buddy. um I was really sad when it was over. And, yeah, I don't know.
00:21:55
Speaker
I would love to go out to San Diego again sometime and just do anything, honestly. It was such a low-tooth trip. It's a great, yeah. I lay over there quite often, so, you know. Yeah, and you're out there.
00:22:07
Speaker
But you went out. Obviously, you know, you you handled your liquor. You said you didn't get hung over. you know, you know, you're not dying. you're You don't drink a lot, which is you drink a diet soda right now. It's pretty healthy. Oh, yeah. That whole night at that point point of the night, it was it was like almost like a new section of the night because it was with a different friend. All the birthday people are gone and asleep or throwing up. And I just drank water that whole time. I was sipping on water the whole night.
00:22:33
Speaker
It's very healthy. It's a very healthy thing to do, Robert. You know who else is healthy, apparently? What? The president of the United States apparently is very healthy. Oh, he's probably the healthiest guy around. ah yeah Apparently they they just released his ah his health exam.
00:22:51
Speaker
And it was the best health exam. Yeah, that's kind of what they did. Here's some vital statistics for his health exam. Okay. He's 79 years old 75 inches.
00:23:04
Speaker
He weighs 238 pounds. Bullshit. Absolute bullshit. Okay. I think John Cena weighs 238 pounds.
00:23:16
Speaker
Okay. John Cena's muscle. Donald Trump. Donald Trump is an easy 260. Yeah. Yeah. Resting heart rate, 73 beats per minute. Bullshit. its Blood pressure is 105 over perfect numbers, if true. 98% oxygen and 98.7.
00:23:31
Speaker
right? Anyway. 98.7 degrees Fahrenheit, temperature. Wow. and ninety eight points seven air you right hey anyway ninety eight point seven degrees fahrenheit a perfect temperature wow Which is funny because the human body isn't actually 98.7 degrees. It's kind of a, it varies.
00:23:57
Speaker
Yeah. But here's where it gets interesting. Here's where he's ready for the Olympics. Yeah. Here's where it gets kind of dumb though. Okay. At the annual physical examination and diagnostic summary where it says head, ears, nose, and throat.
00:24:15
Speaker
Hmm. Examination was normal except for, so and this is from the exact report. Examination was normal except for scarring of the right ear consistent with prior gunshot injury.
00:24:29
Speaker
Hearing is intact. Teeth are in very good condition. Now let's back up here. aha ahha We've discussed this before. As far as conspiracy theories are concerned, I don't believe in most of them.
00:24:41
Speaker
However, I'm sorry, his ear is his ear is fully intact. Oh, i yeah. Bullshit. Yeah. Absolute bullshit.
00:24:52
Speaker
Okay? there's no There's no gunshot. Like, no. I'm sorry. And and if it's if it's it's it's bullshit. It's not real. Fight, fight, fight. And then his teeth are in very good condition.
00:25:05
Speaker
Well, if I could pay for those teeth, I'm sure they'd be in good condition, too. I don't believe his teeth are in good condition. Or he has caps or something. and Caps, um implants.
00:25:16
Speaker
Yeah. Dentures. Yeah. Anyone with money will have good teeth for sure. Here's where it gets little more fun. Okay. The dermatologic one. Okay.
00:25:30
Speaker
Examination of dorsal hands revealed bruising consistent with minor soft tissue tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking in the setting of aspirin use for cardiovascular prevention.
00:25:43
Speaker
This represents a common and benign effect of aspirin therapy. No suspicious suspicious lesions are concerning growth identified. So you're telling me the bruising from his hands that we've all seen is because of handshaking While taking because of taking aspirin.
00:26:03
Speaker
Huh. That makes a lot of sense. Now, I've met a lot of old people on my flights in Florida. In Florida. I'm sure a lot of them take a baby aspirin.
00:26:18
Speaker
Right. i did not I don't recall seeing bruises on all their hands. Right. Right. My wife's grandma takes the baby aspirin every day. There's no bruising on her hands.
00:26:30
Speaker
Okay. none I'm sorry. Like, obviously, he's having circulation issues. Yeah. And last but not least, let me see. Social history, lifelong abstinence from tobacco and alcohol. Didn't he just have some champagne at an event?
00:26:46
Speaker
ah Okay, that's that even that's not lifelong abstaining. That's not abstinent. And he's currently on cholesterol medicicaid two types of cholesterol medication and cardiac prevention.
00:26:59
Speaker
So the aspirin is the cardiac prevention. And then the other one is rosuvastatin. Okay, that's cholesterol. I'm probably saying these wrong. And enzitimibib.
00:27:10
Speaker
I don't know. I said that wrong. I know I fucking did. Mm-hmm. Two cholesterol medicines. So you're telling me that this man is in perfect health, but he's on two cholesterol medicines and he's taking aspirin every day, potentially high dose.
00:27:21
Speaker
Right. Are you really that healthy, sir? Yeah. I mean, I take high blood pressure medication. Does that mean I'm healthy? Not necessarily. i mean and so i mean i' mean, I technically have hypertension.
00:27:35
Speaker
I bet, you know, I know what it is. yeah if he's If he isn't unhealthy, obviously it's to hide, to give any opposing party any kind of joy that his health is declining, which I think is a bad thing to have anyway.
00:27:52
Speaker
um I don't wish this man's health to be bad. i just don't like him as a leader of the country. So just, you know what I mean? If that makes it. just wish it was honest.
00:28:04
Speaker
Yeah. That's all. But anyone of rooting for it, I don't know. I i find it hard. I'm rooting for honesty. I just want to see him get on a scale and say 238.
00:28:15
Speaker
If I see that, then maybe I'll shut my mouth. He should be on it. He should go to Dr. Now from 600 Pound Life. don't know if that's a reference you get. But um yeah, Dr. Now. ah And he should just get a check up there. That'd be and be a great episode.
00:28:28
Speaker
I mean, me yeah, and i' obviously the White House position is going to fabricated for him. Yeah, obviously he probably know. Do you think he you know why? didnt Why he wasn't he in Walter Reed recently? Like, why? why Yeah. Like, why are you?
00:28:45
Speaker
and Why is he being rushed in the hospital? His health is good. Right. Why is he falling asleep so often? Yeah. He's old. He's an old man. He's 79. Yeah. yeah Anytime you elect somebody that's set in their 70s and 80s, they could drop dead at any moment. Also, you know what? you know People are giving shit about Biden falling asleep. Trump's falling asleep now. I bet those meetings are fucking boring, too. And if you're 79, 80, yeah, I would probably be asleep now. Also, at this point, Trump has fallen asleep more times than Biden has on camera.
00:29:16
Speaker
Oh. And I'm not saying Biden was the greatest president of all time. He definitely was not. But i do think win. There's someone on my ballot whose name is like Barack Obama. I forgot. I have to look. I have my ballot over there. um Is he running for a California office? I think. It's someone. Is he taking is he taking over Nancy Pelosi's seat?
00:29:40
Speaker
No. There's a theres there's a few. weeks Oh, the name is Barry O'Brien. Barry O'Brien. Oh, Barry O'Brien.
00:29:52
Speaker
That was a little little Conan. Conan reference. Yeah, I have who is running for governor in California. Barack Obama.
00:30:05
Speaker
Shaw, Brock D. Obama Shaw. That's a real name running for governor. But then as we get on to it, this is where it gets into like, we're not in the real world anymore, Ron.
00:30:15
Speaker
One of the people running for governor of California is first name living for God, last name and country.
00:30:26
Speaker
Living for God and country. And then de Demote is like the full name. So right here, living for God and country, Demote, Demote. This is not the real world anymore.
00:30:37
Speaker
We're not in the real world anymore. Also, there's like a bajillion people running for governor. um And this is the primaries, though. Yeah. So it's just like... It's crazy. It's like someone... I know what they're trying to do. they're They're almost trying too hard to get the conservative. Like, hey, I have God and country in my name, brother. Like, I'm going to stand up for you. But it's too on the nose. you can't You can't honestly think you're going to win with a name like that. You can't.
00:31:05
Speaker
You can't think that Barack Obama is going to win just because you named yourself... I don't know. Maybe it is the real name. Maybe they're doing it because it's their real name. But they're not...
00:31:17
Speaker
it's It's just crazy. it's like It's like voting for Kennedy because of John F. Kennedy. It doesn't make any sense. I don't get it. Let me ask you a personal question, Robert. If your governor, Gavin Newsom, were to run for president, would you vote for him?
00:31:31
Speaker
I don't. So I was a very hard yes for a while. Here's where I'm i'm ah very unsure now. And I'm unsure because...
00:31:43
Speaker
um he's doing a lot of, I think we talked about this last episode. He's doing a lot of like, things that Trump is doing now, but like in the other direction. Yeah, we talked about that. Canceling TV shows, trying to get, and I don't like that. I don't like that Trump's trying to cancel TV shows and I wouldn't want a democratic person trying to cancel TV shows either. I don't think anyone should do that. So even though you might think, wouldn't you want Democrat Donald Trump? No, I wouldn't. I don't want that. I don't know if he, I don't know.
00:32:14
Speaker
I still have to wait. hear his policies, hear what he has to say more, obviously. So I'm not going to make a decision right now, but I'm not, I'm not just on the Gavin train right of the gate, right of the gate, you know?
00:32:26
Speaker
So we'll see. Yeah. I do not know what the New York politics look like right now. I haven't touched anything. um I have to look, that I have to look at it. I would probably vote.
00:32:42
Speaker
I don't know. i'm I'm going to vote. Absolutely. I'm to vote in the primaries, but it's just, you know, it's just the pride. They just, everybody sucks. Yeah. Nobody good anywhere.
00:32:54
Speaker
Yeah, I agree. Everybody sucks. You know, it's really cool. Did you know that you can, this is when you do vote, you don't yeah at least the mail-in they give it to you right here. Oh, you're doing a mail-in.
00:33:08
Speaker
Uh, yeah. um Yeah. for I usually go in. Well, wait, hold on. Sorry. I go in. I always go in for the presidential. Okay. But you're you're doing a mail-in for the primary. Oh, look at you. How controversial.
00:33:24
Speaker
I know. having prideed I haven't done a mail-in or absentee ballot since 2016. I was still a Florida resident during that election. So, Uh-huh. Yeah. That's cool.
00:33:35
Speaker
It was. But yeah, so that will be fun. And we'll see. We'll see. In the meantime, hold on. i Man, I got to sneeze. Oh, sneeze.
00:33:46
Speaker
But yeah, all I want is for, you know, if you're going release the physical exam of the president, be truthful. Oh, I can't do it. Oh, not the be truthful part. Does it help you to sneeze by looking into a bright light?
00:33:58
Speaker
No, I just sneeze. Oh, that. OK, can anyone write in? I was thinking about making a comment section, Morty, a comment section for the podcast, not just penetrating questions. If you just want to respond to something we've said, I might i might make that. But what I want to say is ah like i when I have to sneeze, sometimes looking, I don't look at the sun, but I like raise my head a little bit too high where it's like really bright and it makes me sneeze.
00:34:26
Speaker
It must be like a ah my sinus is connected to my eyeballs or something. It's kind of all connected in there, Rob. It's all connected. um mean, what is real? I feel like I'm in the Matrix. what in The matrix Matrix are a bunch of building blocks, Robert.
00:34:46
Speaker
No, it's a series of tubes. Same thing. Do you remember that? That's an old meme. That was like one of the first memes ever. And it's like the the meme was describing what the internet is. If this brings you back, everybody, there's an old meme where they ask, like, what is the internet? And I forget who the politician was. It was someone describing who what how the internet works. And he's like, the internet isn't this like something, something. It's not a big truck.
00:35:10
Speaker
It's a series of tubes. Yeah, it's like it's something it's not something you just dump on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And that big series of tubes became vaguely remember that. Yeah.
00:35:21
Speaker
Yeah. That was back in the day. ah You wanted to talk about you building blocks, like I said, in tubes and connecting. What do you want to talk about with Legos?
Lego Scandal and Legal Battles
00:35:30
Speaker
You're like obsessed with this.
00:35:32
Speaker
Dude, I am obsessed with this news story, everybody. So catch me up to speed on this. So I want to know all the details like like ah Plankton wants to know the Krusty Krab formula right now. So ah just just to give you a little last time on Dragon Ball Z update, ah the whole Bricks and Minifigs situation. So Bricks and Minifigs is just a it's a really big company that owns a ton of stores that resell Legos. So you bring your Lego sets.
00:36:01
Speaker
They do a cosign with you. Whatever sale they make, you get a percentage. So... It's kind of like another so it's like a GameStop, but like GameStop, they just buy your games. um This is a little bit different. So um to catch you up to speed, um an elderly man who is like not doing well at his health had a huge Lego collection worth two hundred thousand dollars. And so his son helped him bring it to a bricks and minifigs store.
00:36:27
Speaker
um At that same time, corporate took over that store, kicked out the manager, who was a good faith person, and just kept the Lego set and essentially stole it and would not give it back. They said that, well, now corporate's taken over. We don't do cosigns. But then they said they do. And so it's it's a lose-lose for them because if they if they do cosigns, then this person deserves their percentage off of the sales.
00:36:55
Speaker
And if they don't, then you got to give back the product because you don't co-sign on it. So if you're not giving it back, you're just stealing. So there is, um, uh, there's a YouTuber who's doing a huge investigation and getting himself into some deep water and, um,
00:37:12
Speaker
investigating this. They have been trying to sue bricks and minifigs. They have a recorded message saying that if you try to do that, we're just going to elongate this. We're going to stretch it out in court. and We're going to drain you of all your of all your finances. wow so and And the guy is an asshole on the phone. And they're like, so are you threatening us? And he's like, well, yeah, I guess you could say that. He sounds like a fucking Reddit mod incel. So... yeah um So ah they ended up... I forgot exactly what the case was. So they ended up taking him to small claims court about something. They won, and the next day they closed down that particular store that they stole their original Lego set.
00:37:50
Speaker
They haven't paid the small claims fee. And now... Every time they try to sue, they you have to give them papers in person. You have to serve someone papers. The police are called on them. Now, you might think like, well, you would tell the police the situation. This is in Utah. You might tell the police the situation and then they understand.
00:38:09
Speaker
um I believe this is in Utah. I want to say it in Utah. Apologies if it's not, but I think it is. um And they... ah You know, you would you would tell the police situation and they would go along with it. But no, the police, in the most awkward way possible, have been taking the side of the bricks and minifigs' corporate heads.
00:38:29
Speaker
It's very weird. And so they did some more digging and they found that the bricks and minifig, there's like three of them that are the big problem here, are all super Mormon. And so is the police department officers that are taking their side. So now there's this big coup. In Utah?
00:38:46
Speaker
No. Yeah. Yeah. So now there's a lot of speculation that it's the Mormons looking out for their own. And the police just came out with a statement, um which, by the way, you can't even hear because the guy is so soft spoken. You literally like you can't hear him in the video.
00:39:02
Speaker
But I've seen other YouTubers break it down and they basically just lie and and talk about how um how this YouTuber was trying to threaten his life and ah was going to murder him and that.
00:39:14
Speaker
They found they they got a call that there was heroin in his car. That's why they pulled him over. But they found out later that one of the CEOs has used that tactic before when someone he doesn't like or has a problem with, he calls the police and says that they have heroin on them. does This is a sorry. I know I'm throwing a lot at you. This story goes so deep.
00:39:33
Speaker
I could not tell it to you in a tiny podcast. I feel I feel like we're at risk talking about Yeah, I would say check out the YouTuber Penguin, Penguin Zero Z. He's also you could also search up moist critical. I've been watching his coverage of it. It is absolutely fatness fascinating and it will do nothing but piss you off. It is so corrupt, this company, stealing from an old man who's dying and not giving a fuck and trying to be bullies about it. And the police are doing nothing. In fact, they're in there. There are sticking up for the criminals here. And it is just a blatant. It is so the example of corruption. You're knocking stuff over. getting all over the place. My God. i'm knocking staplers on the floor.
00:40:18
Speaker
And yeah, it is crazy. So I just had to give an update. Does anyone else, is anyone else familiar with this story? If so, please write in, send in a penetrating question. Let us know what you think on this. Cause I would love to talk more about this. And of course I'll let people know how it goes.
00:40:34
Speaker
Joseph Smith was called a prophet. dumbm Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum. Joseph Smith. Yeah. um Yeah. It's crazy, dude. It's fucking nuts. So, ah yeah. It's always interesting how religious extremists go.
00:40:48
Speaker
And yes, I will call some of them religious extremists. Yeah. ah Go out of their way just to fuck with people. I mean, look at Clearwater Beach, Florida. Okay. Clearwater. The church of Scientology has taken over Clearwater. Like it's so insane. So so many great trolling videos on Tik TOK of people trolling the Scientology building in Hollywood. It is hilarious. You be careful. You're in Burbank. You must be careful. Okay. They can hear you.
00:41:13
Speaker
Oh yeah, I know. Um, But ah yeah, ah man, it's it's crazy. It's absolutely insane. So luckily, I haven't seen anyone who's on the bricks and minifigs side.
00:41:24
Speaker
um Or if they are, they're not voicing it. But so far, if you look at the comment section, because the police came out with an official video on their YouTube channel. The comments are crazy. It's so funny.
00:41:36
Speaker
um Like the first comment, I think, just says, yeah. corruption in 4k like it's just it's ah um um yeah it's great it's great even even they're they're so like not so not slick about it even when they pulled out they try to pull over this youtuber and arrest them and uh they uh pull him over because they said that they didn't stop at a stop let at a at a stop sign which they then showed the video that they did but they stopped him and they had heroin on his car bre Well, this was they went up to the car. So the the YouTuber's name is Ben and they go up to the car and they say, which one of you is Ben?
00:42:12
Speaker
Right out of the gate, which means that they knew this was Ben was in that car already. This wasn't about stopping a car at a stop sign. No, it obviously profile. Absolutely. Yeah, dude. It's It's crazy. I'll send you the video if you want to watch it sometime. there's ah There's a few videos now, but I'll send you the first one. Please watch it, everybody. It is absolutely batshit insane, and I cannot wait to see the outcome of this. And I bet you, I'll end it with this, I bet you anything, a year or two from now, whenever this is all done and said, said and done, whatever, there's going to be like a Netflix documentary of this. I know there is. There's going to be a documentary of this like officially, um...
00:42:52
Speaker
And it's going to be great. It's going to be great. Hopefully, if it ends well. I don't want it i don't want anyone getting hurt. I just want kind of justice for this this old this old man and his son. who's Yeah. And it all started with Legos.
00:43:05
Speaker
But now it's turned into something way more. so um But yeah. so it's I mean mean, what this company is doing to that man, it's just fucking cold.
00:43:16
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's corruption to the fullest extent. And um almost like... prideful in a way not no yeah on pride today but like prideful like prideful corruption and the police do nothing and the police are on their side so I don't know what happens in this situation as someone who's an idiot Ron if there is blatant corruption in a police force in a certain state do you get the FBI involved like do you go federal do you how do you even take this on good luck
00:43:48
Speaker
Yeah. Good luck. CIA. I don't really don't know how this works. I'll be honest. I mean, that's it's a hard case to prove to the FBI that there is truly corruption in there. And also, I don't think the FBI is going to go ah unless there's like, you know Child trafficking or something like that or, you know, child sex acts going on, which is absolutely awful.
00:44:10
Speaker
That is the only time I think the FBI would get involved. But for something like this. No, I don't think they would. I can only see them getting involved because of the press. you If you get a great lawyer, like a great, great lawyer who can actually take them on, then I think they might get involved.
00:44:27
Speaker
Yeah. But I don't think it has the speed. it's I mean, it's not making national news. or it is If it is, it's not. I bet it will. I'm predicting right now this is going to make national news. If it does, then I think they'll get involved. But right now, no.
00:44:41
Speaker
Because this story is taken off like wildfire. I mean, you you said it. Police corruption. Corrupted police. Yeah. Really? Where else does that happen? Right. Well, it's like I think it's the story that would really hit because the victim is an old man and his son who got taken advantage of and it's by bullies. So and it's not even ah it's not even just the police. It's so bricks and fin minifigs. They went to sell their stuff or pawn it or whatever.
00:45:09
Speaker
Yeah. And the other the manager who was doing it was like, OK, cool. Yeah. Corporate steps. And they're like, no, fuck you all. It's mine now. Yes. And they they literally have footage of them kicking out the manager of the store who technically worked for them.
00:45:23
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. They said, no, we're taking over the store now.
00:45:30
Speaker
and And yeah. And did he did he have heroin in his car? No, no, not at all. no This is all bullshit. It's all bullshit. ah And I have to give a lot of props to this guy, this this YouTuber.
00:45:44
Speaker
He is doing a good job and he's doing it with a bit of a a silly flair, too. So it's kind of entertaining. But ah yeah, yeah, it's kind of entertaining. But um I remember there's one part where he's so according to the law.
00:46:00
Speaker
you have to hand papers in person to serve them. Yes. And but every time they go to his house, he either doesn't answer the door and he calls the cops on them. Now on on the body cam footage of the cop, you know, he's explaining the situation and he's like, I need to serve these papers.
00:46:16
Speaker
So the cop takes the papers, goes up to the house, The video is redacted, comes back to the car and says, yeah, he doesn't want him. Doesn't want him.
00:46:27
Speaker
No one wants to be served papers. What do you mean you don't want them? Like you you're served. I mean, if they were smart about it, they would get somebody like you or me to go serve them.
00:46:38
Speaker
Well, he had someone he he he hired. Like, there's an official person that can do that. You get a private investigator to do. Yeah. Yeah, I would say I would dress up as ah I would dress me and you. We'll have bicycle helmets on ties. We'll be two Mormons going around and we'll go up to him to to to share the the the part three of the Bible to him. And i don't think he answered the Bible. The Bible part three.
00:47:03
Speaker
Jesus. That's what they make fun of in the Broadway show Book of Mormon. Yeah. They call it the return of the Jedi of the Bible. um But ah yeah, we go up as Mormons. But I think at this point, the It's such a hot story. I don't think i don't think he would let he would talk to anyone.
00:47:19
Speaker
So, yeah. It's crazy. it's It's wild, dude. And I just had to talk about it. so Like I said, very cold of this company. Very cold. oh You know what else is cold?

00:51:38
Speaker
No, don't. don't He, this person, Victor, whose name I'm not going to use. Right. He said I could use his name. It's fine. He does this thing. Now, I have traveled to him with New Orleans. I've gone to weddings with him at a state. I've gone to Vegas with him.
00:51:58
Speaker
quite a few times. So, you know, we've shared hotel rooms before, so I'm familiar with this one habit he does. And I want to get your opinion. I think it's fucking odd, but I get it at the same time.
00:52:12
Speaker
Right. One trip he came back from years ago before I knew him. And he had all these dirty clothes. Okay. And he was like, fuck, now I have to do laundry.
00:52:26
Speaker
So what he does now is he packs a bag of regular clothes, okay?
Travel Habits and Disposable Clothing
00:52:31
Speaker
Okay. The clothes that he's going to wear. And before he goes or while he's at the destination, will go to, like, some cheap, like, 99-cent store or, like, a Target or something like that and buy the cheap socks and underwear.
00:52:46
Speaker
Okay? He wears them once and then throws them away. Interesting. Interesting. So he will be like, it was weird. So I go to the bathroom. There's just like underwear and socks in the little tiny bathroom trash can in the hotel. I'm like, the fuck is this?
00:53:02
Speaker
He's like, used him. I'm done. Now, mind you, he's buying the cheap shit. But at the same time, it's wasteful as fuck. Yeah, it's also more trouble than it's worth, because then I have to go to a dollar store every time and I have to find but according to him. It's less on packing.
00:53:18
Speaker
which I could see the bro. So like I've seen him just bring a book bag of ah a slightly large book bag of clothes or a small duffel bag. He's got his underwear and socks the whole time. And then he goes back. He's done. He might bring a pair with him just in case, you know, I mean, he, he's not going to shit himself like me, but I just, say I just find it interesting. I just want to know. i wonder if anyone else does this.
00:53:41
Speaker
I think that's a, I don't think that's a a travel hack at all. I think that's a travel like slack. Am I right? I don't I don't Slack's the right. I mean, i get it It's like it's less to pack. It's less to worry about. you don't have to wash anything. You're buying cheap shit anyway. That's probably going rip in two weeks anyway. So what the fuck?
00:54:01
Speaker
So yeah I get it. i get it. I don't, you know. I don't know. it i find it extremely fascinating. Yeah. And I've told him I've known i've known this guy for 15 years and I've told him this. It's fucking weird, man.
00:54:14
Speaker
Well, how how often is like how long are these trips that he has to buy this stuff? Five days. Oh, five days a week. So socks and underwear can take up a lot of the space. I will. Yeah. You see, you see that the e the more you think about it, you're like, OK.
00:54:30
Speaker
And it's not like you're breaking your bank. You're going. You're buying like dollar store stuff. hmm. So but it does take up some space, but I mean, it's never like. Taken it away from me, like, I don't know.
00:54:42
Speaker
mean, I mean, one travel thing i do and I'm not I'm not telling people this isn't like a tips and trips kind of tips and tricks kind of thing. This is a just habits that I do. i roll my clothes mostly.
00:54:56
Speaker
Yeah. and Yeah, I'll do that. But one thing I do, this this might be a little weird to some people. I don't know. I take my dirty clothes and I will, usually it's like a shirt and then I will put dirty socks, dirty underwear in it and then another dirty shirt on top of that and then fold it up and roll it together.
00:55:12
Speaker
that saves a lot That saves a lot of room in my bag. Okay, I can see that. and i saw As somebody who's traveling constantly and, you know, I pick up things from everywhere I go. Like, one of my one of the things I like to do on the layovers, I like to go buy local a local roastery and get coffee.
00:55:29
Speaker
So um I just brought back a couple bags of coffee back from Canada. So, yeah, it's it's I need always need to have room in my bag. Yeah. And also you always pack, I always pack extra just in case I get stuck or I shit myself or something like that. Right.
00:55:44
Speaker
Which is real, which is this real. Shitting the stuff hasn't happened. Um, and I tend to pack too many options. Like even on my one night San Diego trip, my backpack was full to the brim. Cause I was like, yeah, what if I want to wear these pants instead?
00:56:00
Speaker
So I bring like fashion options. You should be a flight attendant, Robert. I know. And then, ah but then I end up like not using it every time. So I really just have to like choose like, no, I'm wearing this.
00:56:13
Speaker
I'm super fucking chill when it comes to like, I have friends that like, if we go to San Diego, they will bring clothes to go out clubbing with or clothes to go and men and women, not just, not just. Yeah. yeah yeah Clothes to out clubbing with nice dinner, whatever. Me, I'm like, I bring two graphic tees and a pair of jeans.
00:56:30
Speaker
Maybe shorts if it's warm. Yeah, yeah. That's it. Because I know and unless I'm planning to go out somewhere, then I will absolutely. It's hard when you're going somewhere cold, too, because then I like option jackets. Oh, it's the worst. so i Yeah, like I always wear the heaviest jacket on the plane. I go to Vancouver a lot, and Vancouver this time of year is gorgeous. However, you might get a day where it's chilly, so you might need a larger jacket. However, up there in Canada, they're all in T-shirts and shorts at 55 degrees.
00:57:00
Speaker
which at which I admire. And I'm not making that up. But uha it's, yeah, it kind of sucks when you have to pack that much. So, but if you are packing like that because the weather's inconsistent and, you know, you just have, you just went and bought a bag of socks and underwear, got more shit to put, room to put in your bag.
00:57:19
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, i don't want to like, like, i'm defending it I'm defending it, but I'm like angry I'm defending. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Like, and I'm not, yeah, it's not like a,
00:57:31
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know. i i For me, I would be too lazy to go to a dollar store and try to find one every time. Because, like, what if there isn't one nearby? Well, yeah i mean, in New York, you can always find, like, a thrift store or something along those lines that have a thrift store. You know, so something that maybe not a thrift store, but, like, something along those lines. You know, a cheap clothing store where you can buy the packs for two bucks.
00:57:54
Speaker
Right, right. know, it's not not difficult at all here. Yeah. you You can buy the shit on the street in certain neighborhoods. That's true. Hashtag my name, right? Yeah. Well, you know, if that's his thing, all right. I mean, all those socks and underwear are going to be in the fucking ocean. So, uh, yeah, for that. But, what are you going to do?
00:58:15
Speaker
Um, i might go I might go to Vegas with him this week. I don't know. I mean, i'm not going to stay in the same room as him, but I will be like, yo. I texted him yesterday. I'm like, you got your fresh, got you you got your new socks and underwear?
00:58:28
Speaker
He's like, going to get him tomorrow. I'm like, okay. So are you going for like a friend's trip? or Yeah, it's his birthday. He goes to Vegas every year. Oh, cool. Happy early birthday, Victor. Oh, that's cool. I want to go to Vegas. so Victor, I think that's a cool idea. i my i was going to go tomorrow.
00:58:46
Speaker
But coming back as flying standby is a little risky. So I'm like, I'm not. Yeah, I'm not. i because Because as of right now, I have to go to work on the fourth. So I'm like, I don't want to get back or not get back the third and then try to scramble to get back the next day. so Right, right. because that i would be I would be fucked. So I have to be careful. If I had a buffer day, it'd be different.
00:59:09
Speaker
I'd be. Yeah, yeah. but I don't. So most likely you're not going. Uh, you know what I'm hoping for is somebody gives me their Vegas trip and I'll give them my Vancouver trip. So I'm hoping for something like that.
00:59:20
Speaker
Oh, that so that way I'll be able to go and spend one night and won't have to buy a hotel. Everything will be paid for. Right, right. yeah and And I'll make money of it because I'll be working. There you go.
00:59:32
Speaker
Yeah. Well, maybe ah if I plan a boys trip to Vegas, maybe we can go. No, I don't want to go. You guys start bar fights. I don't want to do this shit. Oh, yeah. well i'll so I'll stop wearing like my lay pants.
00:59:45
Speaker
necklace thing how did you know the girl was from vegas i'm sorry to get back on that how did you know she was vegas oh because we i try to you know these are people that are playing with us so i'm asking oh right are you guys locals like uh we i moved from this i moved from that she's like i'm from vegas and uh yeah um you gotta to be careful with those vegas girls man the local ones you gotta be careful with them I don't know. She was just like annoying. She was very annoying when she was playing too. She was like screaming every time. I'm picturing a blonde. Was she blonde? No, she was like this little Filipino girl, honestly. ah Something. She was a Filipino girl? Okay. I think so. i don't know. But she was a tiny, like obviously super young.
01:00:26
Speaker
ah Like, I don't know. Super young? yeah How young was she, Robert? I mean, we're in a bar. like That doesn't mean shit. I don't know. Maybe she snuck in, but definitely early twenties for sure.
01:00:38
Speaker
ah and I just didn't pay her any attention cause I felt like she thrived off of that. So I didn't. It makes you feel old. Doesn't it? When you look, when you're at a bar and you see all these people and they're like, and they're, they're 25 years old and you're like, fuck.
01:00:51
Speaker
Yeah. Yes. I know. Cause we, we actually ran into a really cool detective lady. Um, And because my friend was talking her. And so I stepped away because I was like, because this sounds like this sounds like the worst porn I've ever seen in my life. We were playing pool and this Filipino girl comes by and then this this detective lady comes by.
01:01:12
Speaker
ah The detective was a lesbian. Happy Pride. So, yeah. um Yeah. What was her name? ah I don't want to say her real name. I'll just call her Tracy.
01:01:23
Speaker
um That sounds like a lesbian name, right? Wow, Robert. So then I started coming with a TV show. Tracy, lesbian detective. um I thought that was fun. so have you actually said that You actually said that to her? Not to her. No, of course not. She would have arrested me. would have got the shit of you.
01:01:41
Speaker
But I know she was cool as fuck, though. And then ah but it was funny because I thought that they were really hitting it off. But she is not interested in him at all. So, you know, what are you going to do? But yeah, but you ran into some cool people. It was just that one weird guy, honestly. And also even the friends, even though I'm making fun of them, like they weren't doing anything bad. Maybe some were more annoying. But that guy was the problem. He was a problem.
01:02:08
