Musical Preferences and Audio Lag
00:00:01
Speaker
1330 right on the dot there. So. Brother. Hey, brother. Remember that song? I wasn't a fan of that one. Was that Avicii? I think it might have been. Yeah, I didn't like I wasn't a big fan of them. You know, which one I liked was wild ones. Remember that song in high school?
00:00:26
Speaker
Hey, I heard you like the wild one. That song sucked. Oh, I was a better singer. I would sing along with you right there. You know what I think it is? I think that the the gap in me saying something and then you hearing it is throwing me off a little bit because I would start to sing with you.
Apologies and Podcast Theme
00:00:44
Speaker
And I bet you would be totally behind. Oh, there's like a lag for you.
00:00:50
Speaker
Yeah, I think. Damn. That's whatever. It's it's it's not too bad. It's not too bad. Like watching your mouth move and like the audio synced. So it's like. All right. Yeah. I'm sure once I once I get mine from home, too, and it's tough, it'll it'll all kind of work out because we'll all be kind of. Yeah. In sync. So it will be in sync. Backstreet. That's not that's not saying. All right. You immediately went to. I know. I know. I know. I messed up. I messed up.
00:01:20
Speaker
What are you gonna do? Idiot. Thank you. Can't do much. You ain't gonna do it. God, what's he looking up? Are we in? Are we? Oh, yeah, no, we're going live from we're going already. Yeah, getting it. We're a minute and thirty five in shooting the shit. Well, I would like to start off by apologizing to all of our of our listeners. I you know, I wasn't expecting to air out dirty laundry in the last episode, but you know, it's in the
Reality TV and Netflix Shows
00:01:46
Speaker
name. So that's right. I feel I feel like I was just.
00:01:50
Speaker
kind of following the theme.
00:01:54
Speaker
And Mike, you love a good theme, don't you? I let me tell you something about a good thing. Let me tell you. Did I ever tell you guys about my all seafood weekend? Oh, Jesus. Oh, brother. You know what? We're going to bypass that one. You know what? I just got an update on because I stepped away from the computer and on the screen was you guys ever watch that show on Netflix where it's the older people dating? Oh,
00:02:21
Speaker
Yeah. What's it called? No, because I know they have like the golden bachelor or whatever, but no, this is like, like, um, like going on blind dates, but for people that are 50, 60, 70 years old. Okay. I don't know much about it, but yeah, neither do I actually extremely interesting. I don't know why I'm just, you know, I'm like a reality show.
00:02:46
Speaker
you know, viewer now. I was gonna say, what are you guys watching right now? What are you guys in? What streaming service? What shows? What are you guys watching? Netflix right now is just this. It's just for that reality
Praise for Actors and Movie Appreciation
00:02:58
Speaker
show. We're not really watching much else, but we picked up silo on Apple TV. It's a little slow, but it's not bad.
00:03:13
Speaker
I actually thought it was gonna be worse than it was and we just finished shrinking with Jason Siegel Harrison Ford. I love that show. I finished it last night It was good. I thought it was it was like
00:03:30
Speaker
You know, it's funny enough. It makes me laugh. It's wholesome. It's cool. You know, I'm down with that. Harrison need a little feel good in my life. Harrison Ford plays a great old guy. And it's and it's it's I hate saying it because we know him and his iconic roles when he was younger. But like he's playing in these roles that obviously he's an older guy and is recognized as an older guy, but he just fucking nails it.
00:03:55
Speaker
He nails it so good. I think it's him. It's genuinely him. It's genuinely him. Yeah. What are you watching? It's like you see him in interviews and he acts pretty much the same. 100%. I'm not really watching much, to be honest. I just watch movies. What movies are you watching?
00:04:16
Speaker
Man, I mean, I just watched Fargo for the first time. I heard that's good. It
Reality Shows and Humorous Observations
00:04:21
Speaker
was really good. I recommend that. Juror number two, which is I don't know why. Just watch that, too. Oh, that one was really fucking good. That was a good ass movie. I don't know why. Whenever I hear Harrison Ford, I think of Clint Eastwood.
00:04:38
Speaker
and I know that movie is directed by Clint Eastwood so like my mind was already there but and whenever I think of Clint Eastwood I think about his performance in Gran Torino where he plays a racist old guy
00:04:52
Speaker
Yeah. And he has like the little. Yeah. And for some reason, it's like when when you say Harrison Fordham, I'm thinking like racist old guy. But no, it's a different guy. Very different. Very different. Well, I don't. I don't think Clint Eastwood plays a great old guy. You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't think he does.
00:05:10
Speaker
He's not a good actor, he just likes to put himself in his own movies. But that Jira number two movie, I didn't know it was directed by him, I think that's one of the better Clint Eastwood movies that I've seen. Oh yeah, 100%. That movie was crazy. Yeah, it was a great premise. Mike, have you watched it at all? No, I haven't seen it. Do you want us to spoil it for you? Yeah, I probably will never watch it.
00:05:35
Speaker
It's not a spoiler. Like the premise is interesting enough. I think that you would go watch it. It's about a juror who gets put on. Well, he gets on jury duty. Right. And it's a murder case. And he finds out within the first couple of minutes that the murder that they're talking about, the case that they're talking about is something that he might have done.
00:06:04
Speaker
And by like by mistake, what was it? When did this? When did this come on? Like maybe a couple of weeks ago. It's like fairly new. Yeah. Oh, OK. OK. OK. OK. Yeah. It's on HBO Max. But yeah, like basically it's like he figures out that like, oh, shit, I might have been the guy and it's now like, do I put my life on the line or do I just get this guy sent away? Yeah, I was going to say, are they wrongly convicting somebody?
00:06:31
Speaker
I mean, you got to figure out me. Well, you got to watch it.
Family Bar Adventures and Drinking Stories
00:06:34
Speaker
Yeah, you got to watch it. But I'll tell you what I was watching this would be. And she was like, this is dumb. This is the easiest decision of my life. I think I've ever seen like you telling me it's me or him. See you. See you. Yeah. So I was like, all right, cool. That's wild. Going back to the reality show stuff, man, have you seen MILF Manor?
00:06:59
Speaker
No, but I've seen clips. Yeah, me too. I've seen clips. It is. That's the most ridiculous thing. I only watch it. I only watch season one. I don't watch season two, although like I would like to watch season two. I haven't gotten into it. But yeah, like the first season was crazy. Like you want to talk about garbage trash reality TV shows. That is the perfect one. There are some some lines and some scenes in there that I would like Atticus and I watched it together.
00:07:30
Speaker
We had to like pause the TV to like laugh and like also be like what the fuck like I don't watch much like reality television as it is, but so I don't know if like other shows are like that. But like some shock factor in these. This, if I remember right, there were clips from that show where they were like.
00:07:53
Speaker
dating the father, but the son of, or like the son of the dad was also there. Yeah. Yeah. So that was, that's season two's premise. So season one's premise was it's eight women, you know, they're like, they're like, find love with younger guys. And then the catch is that the younger guys are the other women's sons. So they're basically trying to hook up with the other women's sons while like the mom is there and it causes some weird,
00:08:21
Speaker
Dynamics and stuff. Season two starts off as the same dynamic, but then they add in the fathers.
00:08:31
Speaker
of the sons, which also end up being the ex-husbands of the women. Oh. Oh. Because you'd figure like if it's their dads and their moms, it's literally everyone is just in one house. So it ends up being the sons are now competing against the dads for the women and then also trying to navigate life like trying to hook up with other women in front of your ex-wife.
00:09:00
Speaker
At least that's how it looks. I didn't watch it, obviously. But that's that was the double reveal that I saw was that like, okay, it's Milfman or season one, sons of the moms. And then or maybe, maybe not. Maybe they didn't take it that far, because that would be crazy. This to me, this to me sounds like the premise of
00:09:22
Speaker
a porn without the sex. Yeah. I don't think any I don't think any of them hooked up on season one, to be honest. Well, that was the point of watching because like the reason why is because like the other moms are just cock blocking or like the sons would cock block. So we like we want to see right at the front. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, it would be obviously much funnier and more spicy if they did. But I think a lot of that got stopped.
00:09:50
Speaker
But yeah, season two might have been just eight random young guys and then their fathers mixed in so the women have no attachment to the older gentlemen. But it would be pretty funny if it was eight sons and then eight ex-husbands.
Nightclubs, Older Women, and Social Dynamics
00:10:08
Speaker
Would you guys look at your dad and be like, pops, let's get it. You know what I'm saying? Absolutely not.
00:10:14
Speaker
absolutely not that's insane that is i can't i can't easy crazy thing to do and even picture it yeah you think big why would you you think big mr c would wouldn't be down you know they
00:10:29
Speaker
He'd probably sit down and he'd be like, so what's your 401k look like? I feel like I've spent most of my life avoiding thoughts like that. To only, in the end, just entertain it in real life. Are you psychotic? Wait, but now, from your vibe, it sounds like...
00:10:48
Speaker
Sounds like you would do it with Big Mike. No, but let me tell you something. You know what? You know what I did the other day? That I was shocked at Big Mike and my mom were on. They were like so curious to see how this is. I got my parents out to the bar the other night. Listen to this. Oh, so my dad turned 60 this year. We had a surprise party for him in Pittsburgh and we did the surprise party.
00:11:15
Speaker
But he, in his own doing, was like, he was very grateful for the surprise party, this and that. But he, in his own doing, said, months and months before the surprise party happened, he was like, I want to go to the Cadillac Ranch, to the country park. Now, obviously, he's not line dancing, but he's like, I want to put on the boots, and I want to go to Cadillac Ranch, and I want to see what the hubbub's about. I've never been.
00:11:44
Speaker
And so I impulsively the other day called my sister and I was like, what are you doing tonight? And she was like, nothing. Her significant other wasn't doing anything. I said, let's get let's call dad because my dad's on vacation this week. I said, let's call him. I said, let's see if he wants to go to Cadillac Ranch. And she goes, I would actually be down for that. And my dad, if you know him, is not a loud music kind of guy. And I was like, he ain't going to do like he ain't going to do this.
00:12:11
Speaker
And so I called them and I was like, what are you doing tonight? He's like, nothing. I was like, will you mom got plans? He goes, no. I said, come on, let's go to Cadillac Ranch tonight. That's what you wanted to do for your 60th. And they showed up.
00:12:22
Speaker
And they said, my mom drank a beer, dude. Can you believe that? My mom drank a beer. My dad sat there. And he would get up and watch like the line dancing. Like my sister got in on some of the line dancing because she knew him. And he like got up and was like scoping out. We were there for quite a few hours. But we were just rocking it. I was so I could never in my life. I've been out to the bar with my dad one time before. And we went to celebrate my mom's birthday. And then there was like everybody decided after we were going to a bar.
00:12:50
Speaker
and my mom didn't go so it was my dad and I and he's sitting next to the speaker it is blown in his ears i was like he is not having a good time but he stuck it out we both rolled up to to the house at 1 30 in the morning with wendy's my mom was so pissed dude it was she was so pissed that him and i destroyed we weren't drunk or anything but i was like oh my god i'm out to the bar with my dad it's after midnight like jesus christ that was a time dude
00:13:15
Speaker
I feel like we are of the age now where going out with the parents is fun. Right? Like you used to be something where it was like, I have to hide it from my parents. And then I'm out with my friends solely. And now it's like, let's go out. Let's go out to the.
00:13:33
Speaker
Restaurant, we'll go to the bar after, we'll get some drinks. It'll be good. It'll be fun. Shoot the shit. Talk about stuff that I never told you when I was a kid. The last time I went to the bar with my mom, uh, it was in the Philippines. She noticed how rapidly I was getting drunk. So she was like, I need to stop this. So she bought us one of those massive drink towers. It was like me and my cousins. She bought us one of those massive drink towers thinking that, Oh, since they have one of those, they'll stop drinking as fast.
00:14:02
Speaker
Opposite effect. Absolutely destroyed her eyes have to sing within 10 minutes of that thing showing up to the table. It was gone. She was like, I don't know what to do. And that's that's also the last time I like have.
00:14:17
Speaker
It also, I that night I I went back to the hotel room with with my mom and I threw up for the first time from drinking in like two years and I was like, Dan, this is pretty embarrassing. Two a.m. like waking my mom up to be violently throwing up in the back. Did she give you stern Filipino mother? No, she's like, all right. Well, I don't know what to do. She's like, I'm trying to sleep. She was like, figure it out. You keep it down. Yeah.
00:14:43
Speaker
But you, Austin, like you even even before the age where I know like you and your parents would go out like your dad would play at restaurants and you you all would do a family ordeal, go out, have some drinks, do a little dancing, this and that. Like, I don't know. I can't say for Victor, like if he did that, if he's done that with his mom and stuff like I never went out with my parents like that and to an extent like that, like, yeah, we went to dinner, this and that, but like they would bounce or, you know, and I would stay or vice versa. And like,
00:15:12
Speaker
I know that you go out to dinners and stuff with your mom here and there and all that but like that was the extent but like your family always had some sort of outing you guys wouldn't make it an outing and make it a good night well we had it was the gigs that was the only reason right like it's not like we were opting to like go to the bar on a regular night we had the gigs and then we would just kind of make the most of it like family members would come in and be like let's go listen to the gig my
00:15:39
Speaker
parents or my mom would go up and dance and stuff like that. And it just it became a thing. You guys remember that time we got hit on by those old ladies at Mona Lisa and your mom had to be like go up to those women and be like, hey, you guys are being really cringe. You need to stop. Was this before you were going on your
00:16:15
Speaker
Good. God bless. Good for you. And then maybe I don't know. They were very much heavily hitting on me, like because I think the way we sat at the the the high top bar, I was the closest to them. Like it was like, yeah, me. And then either you, you know, whatever combination of the two of you. But I was the closest to them and they were trying to like, like get us to buy. They bought us drinks. I don't remember this. I remember us going out. I remember us going to Mona Lisa, but I don't remember this part.
00:16:25
Speaker
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
00:16:43
Speaker
They was a very mama bear moment for my mom. Yeah, she was like, you need to stop. That is so embarrassing for those other women, though. Did she go full Pam or like half Pam? No, she was just kind of stepping in and be like.
00:16:56
Speaker
You probably shouldn't be doing this. Yeah, because we we was like, oh, no, stop. We got up from the the bar because they're like, oh, you know, like, you know, they were trying to like hit on us and I was like, it's it's fine. Like, no, thank you. Like, I'm not looking to dance right now. I want to just hang out and talk to my friends. And then we sat down in the booth and they came up and they were like, come on, we bought you guys a drink like you owe us a dance.
00:17:22
Speaker
I don't remember. I don't remember any of this. And then they were mom was like, you need to stop like they don't owe you anything. You chose to buy them a drink that's on you. I don't remember any of these guys alone to be to be to be fair. They had no idea that like the dynamic that like we were all, you know, there and my mom was there, you know, like.
00:17:45
Speaker
So they didn't know that we had, you know, we were rolling deep in the bar, but but it would have been. She was not. This is awkward. She would have gotten taken advantage of if she wasn't there. It would have. Yeah, we would have. It would end a lot different. Why do I not remember that? I remember when we went to the brewery the first time I took you to see Pop Rocks before Nicki Guns was the lead singer.
00:18:09
Speaker
That's how long ago it was. And there was just everybody was dancing. Place was packed. And there was this this one lady that was not stopping with you. And you just had the you just had the dip. We had to dip. I remember that because she was just too much. Remember, she had short hair. Yeah. But I don't remember Mona Lisa. Every experience that I've had with an older woman at the bar has always been that woman as the aggressor buying me drinks. And then I have to find an elaborate way to like
00:18:38
Speaker
I gotta go, you know? But you get a couple of free drinks out of it. It's good. You had the same experience when we were in Canada.
00:18:47
Speaker
the
00:19:09
Speaker
Yeah, she was like my husband has a has a business get your work visa and work for him in Canada But then she was also like my husband's not gonna like you because you're my And I was like, I'm just here for the champagne bottle. I really I had I had to dip out of there He couldn't commit dude, I was really upset He said like I'm going in I'm gonna get one and then he came out with nothing. They'll score you were not a mission. I
00:19:33
Speaker
Not a mission, but he knew exactly what he was going to clear and present objective, but they were throwing bottles out there and you and you failed. I did. He went up there and he put a couple of the buttons down. Wow, you really were asking for it. I hit him with the French. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Well, he said, you know, he said, I'm here. I got family in town. Yeah. I'm trying to do damage. That's that's crazy.
00:20:01
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. And I did fail. Yeah. I mean, I'm going to I'm going to stand there and hold true to that. And you were so close to like securing the dub there, too. She told you to get a word. He really was. Yeah, she she told me she was. She was there for the long term game. Mike was there for the short term game. I know, but in better men would have secured the bag there.
00:20:23
Speaker
I'm not saying I will listen. I'm not saying I will listen. But you have to understand. OK, like right. They tell you in baseball swing for a base hit, not for a home run. Right. Like I'm here for the I'm here for the champagne. I'm working the angle to get the champagne. Once she started saying get your work visa and work for my husband visit, that's the home run that I don't want to swing for. I'm here for the champagne. No, that's that's her putting the ball in a tee for you.
00:20:49
Speaker
You're saying swing it for a sale. You missed the tee. The ball's there.
00:20:55
Speaker
I listen, I was going in with one objective and she was not giving me the out of that objective. But that's why you talk yourself. You were she had thrown. You were so it's like it's literally like getting it's like hitting a ground rule double and then staying on first being like, no, I'm cool here. Listen, it's like you hit the ground rule double and you're like, no, I'm all right. Or or you know what? Better analogy hitting one into the gap.
00:21:20
Speaker
and letting that ball roll around the wall there in the field. They're just scrambling to get it. And you're like, no, I'm good on first. No, no, it's like this is it would be disrespectful of me to take advantage of the outfielders trying to find the ball. This is like zero dark 30. It's like the team is going out. You're not a tier one officer.
00:21:38
Speaker
The team is going to tell you that right now after hearing the story of you not not getting the champagne You are not a team is going in to bomb Osama bin Laden and the options are go for the target Osama bin Laden's house But she's telling me hit the neighbor's house instead. I'm here for the targets
00:21:57
Speaker
I'm here for the time. No, no, no, it's not. We're talking about Osama bin Laden. You're the helicopter that crashed before they got there. Oh, I'm not black. That's fucked up. That's not black. Oh, is it not? Oh, shit. You're the one. You're the helicopter that they can't talk about because it was unsanctioned. Yeah. And so they had to just leave you there in the desert.
Reflecting on Youth and Past Experiences
00:22:18
Speaker
They had to blow it up and then just dip. That's right. And say it was a military exercise.
00:22:23
Speaker
man but you know truly truly Mike you could have walked away with multiple rounds you couldn't even if you had to buy her a single drink first you could have gotten two rounds of shots I wasn't that invested I wasn't that invested you know what maybe you should have Mike then you can't be talking about swinging for any any hits any home runs anything like that you can't be talking like that you're not invested
00:22:51
Speaker
Yeah, tell her tell her yeah, fuck it. Yeah, I would love to work for your husband. I would love represent I'm not that invested because you give you give it a bit none of its real None of its real you guys aren't gonna see each other the next day So I'm saying you give her a fake number you give her Austin's number and you get the fuck out of there You get the champagne you dip That's all you gotta do
00:23:13
Speaker
that's
00:23:33
Speaker
Yeah. Our objectives were to not dance with older women. Your objective was to get free champagne from an older woman. And you failed. We didn't solicit the attention from this woman. You actively sought her out. Man. Just saying missed opportunities. When you're young and dumb, you know? Young and dumb.
00:23:56
Speaker
Actually, that was longer ago than I thought. Yeah, that was so long ago that you had to think about the number. You're like, that's five plus years. Wow. Yeah, it was like twenty nineteen. Yeah. Pre pandemic. And think about it. Actually, actually, go ahead. Twenty eighteen. Understand that that the COVID-19 pandemic was five years ago.
00:24:23
Speaker
So we're talking at least five. So 2018. Yeah, that sounds about right. Yeah, that's crazy. Because I graduated. And we went and I went right there within within two months. So that was 2018. And so yeah, seven, seven years since we graduated, guys. About to be. Yep. We're old, man. And never, never have we had a reunion for high school. And we never will.
00:24:49
Speaker
Then we never will. Yeah, I had another real like we can't do real of the week this week. If you guys notice on the last one, there's no video for it because I fucked up the video recording, but we're learning. I did have another real for about high school reunions. I'll just send it to you guys because it would be funny. The viewers and listeners don't get to to hear it, but. What's the premise? Give us the premise of it. Oh, it's about a. Yeah, tell us.
00:25:17
Speaker
It's like, um, being locked in the, uh, the janitor's closet, uh, during a school shooting during your, your 10 year reunion. Yeah. No, we're not going to go. No, nevermind. Move on. Nope. That's that you want to get canceled. That's how you do it. That's, that's how you do it. Come on. The premise. Listen, I'm not advocating for it. I'm not saying that's where the premise of the, that's where we stop. That's, that's a hard stop. That is a,
00:25:47
Speaker
That is a hard stop. Mike, in our day and age, that is a realistic scenario that we could be in. Yeah. Well, we're not in school anymore. However, saying going back to the school. Yes. Going back to reunion. One hundred percent. And that's why we should have more guns in the streets. But, you know, like, what do you want? What do you want? All right. Yeah. Now you want a hard stop? Think about it. No, no. I agree. Everyone should be exercising their two way.
00:26:13
Speaker
I saw, I saw a clip the other day of somebody that was talking about how it's like basically advocating for like, okay, if people want to support the second amendment, right, in the, in the constitution, it was written in there originally so that citizens had the right to have arms so that if they ever wanted to uprise against the government, they had the means to do so.
00:26:39
Speaker
And it was like a check and balance kind of thing. And he's like, now it's a little bit of a different story, but people still want to hold on to those guns. So he's like, so what I'm advocating for is that every year we have a Hunger Games style scenario where every citizen that's armed, right to the teeth
Nostalgia for Video Games and Professors
00:26:59
Speaker
has the opportunity to stand up to the United States military.
00:27:04
Speaker
And it's like, you know, a whole group of citizens in there and then Joe Schmo on the other end with like a drone and say, go to town. Yeah. Yeah. Prove your Second Amendment worth right here. Right. Drone is not as is not something that's protected by the Second Amendment.
00:27:21
Speaker
I'm saying the military. Oh, he's the one. Yeah, he's fighting the drone. The military is saying that the the United States military has like technology wise advanced so much. No, I understand. Yeah. Any any sort of like armed militia group is getting absolutely mowed down.
00:27:40
Speaker
And it's not even it's not even like you want to even seeing like person to person combat. It's going to be one arm militia like like marching down the street and just be one predator drone from call to duty. One stealth bomber coming in just handling that.
00:27:56
Speaker
It's Joe Schmo with his his M16. It's like 10 Joe Schmo's with their M16s. And the guy on the other end is like, I don't know if this is fair, but I have a tomahawk. Yeah, it's not the guy just in the control room on a joystick. Like he's doing he's doing three sixties with it. You know what I miss? Not not talking not like kind of in the two way argument. But I miss Call of Duty Nazi zombies. I miss the original one.
00:28:25
Speaker
I was gonna say they like they dropped that every like the newest one black ops has zombies I I still think World at War was the best one like the original Nazi zombies. I loved that map It was crazy in its most basic form that zombies Like version from the game was the best one. It was just simple, right? Mm-hmm
00:28:46
Speaker
now there's so much to it dude and i feel real old for saying that but it's just so much like i just want to see how far i can go i don't need any subplots i don't need any aliens i just need give me a gun see how far i can go yeah like i think i can't remember which one but it was a couple years ago where like
00:29:03
Speaker
You would, you know, like start at one spot, kill a bunch of zombies, then have to hop on a bus that brought you to a different spot to kill more zombies. And then you can get back on the bus to go back to the first spot to do get all like your pack a punch and like whatever. Then you can get back on the bus to go. It's yeah, I don't need all that and do it. The theater one, the theater one is the maxed out one for me. I don't know if you guys I think that's like Black Ops one right where it's it's the whole theater and it's like it's one circuit. It's all like one thing, but it's still massive.
00:29:34
Speaker
Yeah. And you just do the only place that you could teleport was to the projector room. Yeah, back. Yep. Yeah. That was that was that was it. And I think they brought that back for for one of the more recent ones, but with all the other flair, you know what I mean? Like all the other perks and guns that you can get and stuff like that. But I agree.
00:29:56
Speaker
I miss it. I miss the World at War version. I miss playing that. We should do that. You still have that game still? Is those games still accessible? You can get them. Yeah. But actually, I don't know. I don't know if I would. But I would definitely be down to do it. That and the old Halo games I would love to do.
00:30:21
Speaker
Didn't they kill those or are they still like coming out with new ones or didn't they kind of kill that franchise? I think they remastered all the old maps and stuff like the old games like Halo 2 remastered and whatnot. Yeah, they're not making new Halo games though as far as I know. Yeah, those were huge. I never played them but those were huge. Those games were sick, dude. Good times. The time to be alive, you know?
00:30:48
Speaker
Life was so simpler. Remember, remember when like a snow day happened? You know what, you know, what came up the other day? I was watching the Simpsons and this is so old, but it reminded me like snow days. Remember when like you had to like check the TV for the snow day and then like you would have to like, if, if you knew there was a snow day and this is what the Simpsons brought up, you had to do the call tree.
00:31:09
Speaker
Remember the call tree where you had to call somebody else and be like, hey, this is so and so no school. And then they would have to call somebody else and then call somebody else. Remember that? And then you just stay home, play video games. There was no like virtual learning or anything like that. Like you enjoyed the day off. You know, they're like, yeah, get on them laptops, kid. Log in. Yeah. Your class still starts at eight thirty.
00:31:31
Speaker
Yeah, I do feel bad that people get to, that people miss out on that now because that was so exciting when you'd wake up in the morning and there was like some chance of snow and you'd wake up extra early just to see if your school or your town was on the list. And the second it pops up, you're like, hell yeah, I'm playing Xbox for the rest of the day. Like just immediately getting out of your school clothes and just sitting there doing absolutely nothing.
00:31:57
Speaker
I would go to my neighbor's house. My neighbor, well, former, he was in the same grade as Vanessa. And on snow days, I would just go over there. And then we would either we would play music and Michelangelo would come over. We'd either play music all day or we would play FIFA 2010 World Cup. We would just do tournaments all day, man. It was so fun. And we would we would order pizza and drive in the snow to go get it. You know what I'm saying? It was so much. They should do snow days for jobs.
00:32:27
Speaker
Ah, that would be great. Your work calls and be like, yeah, you know what? No one can come into the office today. You guys get a snow day. They announce it to the news the same way. Except except instead of the local news, they announced it like Fox News because that's what actually people are watching like older people are watching nowadays. So the tickers on the bottom of like Fox News and it's like, oh, I was going to I don't know what company they use, but you know what I mean? Like your company, all employees from this location canceled.
00:32:57
Speaker
or, you know, close. Yeah, that would be great. And then. Top on Xbox. But now you get automatic, like now you get like automatic generated texts. You know, remember, I don't know what if your college. Oh, we used to get texts. Yeah. For the high school. We get phone calls saying that we had no school. Oh, yeah.
00:33:13
Speaker
I remember the phone calls, the home calls, it would call the home, but I remember in college you'd have to call the snow line. Did you guys have that for your university? No, we would just get texts or emails. I think they eventually went into doing that, but I remember having to call the snow line to see if they... That's crazy. No, I remember that my 84-year-old professor decided that he still wanted to have class when there was a foot of snow outside. Are you talking about...
00:33:42
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, I'll bleep the name, but that dude's got to be dead, right? Oh, Jesus. Dude, that dude was having life scares in the room with us. Yes, I imagine that that guy has passed by now. Yeah. Did I tell you? Were you in the same class? No, you weren't in the same class with me.
00:33:59
Speaker
where he was he was with us in class and he was reading out the the attendance and took 30 minutes for him to do that by the way people would show up late because they knew that their name was at the bottom of the list and they could just show up like 30 minutes in and still be fine
00:34:15
Speaker
He was reading the attendance and out of nowhere blood just starts coming out of his ear. What? I remember you told me this. Yeah. Are you for real? Crazy. Yeah. Blood starts coming out of his ear and somebody had to interrupt him and be like, like, Professor, you're you're bleeding. Like, it's coming out of your ear and he puts his hand up and he goes like this and he doesn't say anything else. He looks at everybody and he says, class dismissed. And he just everybody is like, I'm on. Wow. They forced him to retire.
00:34:44
Speaker
Well, I mean, when that's happening, I'm sure it's because like I think the like regular class with him would be like 45 minutes of nonsense and him going on tangents and then like him giving you like a key list of like what's going to be on the exam and then.
00:35:03
Speaker
Basically, the all the the exam would be like questions from the key list that you didn't learn that semester because he didn't teach you. And so someone reported him to the Dean was like, Yeah, you can't be having this as like a class. Like I have to take this class for credits for my major. This shouldn't be like this shouldn't be my only option in this building. And so he got walked out one day. Yeah, it was not good. He was he wasn't he wasn't
00:35:32
Speaker
in his bright mind to be teaching a class, nor was he physically capable of getting in and out of the building without potentially hurting. But that's what I'm saying. He used to stand up because he would sit down when he would lecture, right? But he would stand up every now and then to like, write a word on the board and like circle it. Yeah. And that was like his indication of like, you need to know this for the exam.
00:35:57
Speaker
And he would get up and we had multiple times where he got up and turned around to go write something on the board and fell and then put his arm out to catch himself from like falling right into the wall. And we're like, this is a problem, man. Like he can't be here teaching. It was it was it was crazy. That was the only time I ever experienced anything like that. And he would drive in in the snow to come into the to for class because he cared for his students.
00:36:28
Speaker
Yeah, I guess you could say I don't know what he one time brought a gun on what his motivation was what what he brought like an old Western gun in one time like a revolver fully function. No, like I'm like not a Western like a musket gun. You know, one of them like all the ones we had to put the powder in it, which obviously like that wasn't going to shoot anyone. But like, yeah, he brought that in. Everyone's like, well, you can't just have that. That's.
00:36:58
Speaker
insane in today's climate come on oh man another thing about him so you had that was the other reason why people were upset was there were no grades in the class except for attendance in the final yeah that was rough those were teachers so on the final he made you turn in your phones but again he was so old and senile that he didn't know what a phone was
00:37:23
Speaker
Who put a calculator there? Yo, I gave him a game boy. You gave him a game. I'm a game boy, dude. And and I have the Nintendo DS. I mean, would you give people work to give a PDA's like old phones, obviously. Yeah. DS is game boys. And he would just anything electronic. He'd be like, that's the phone and take it.
00:37:42
Speaker
and I almost fucked up the bag for everyone in my class when I took it because I gave him an old phone and then I had my phone on my lap and it fell and it hit the ground hard and you could hear it and he looked up.
00:37:58
Speaker
and a
00:38:22
Speaker
we'll give him a cautionary rest in peace. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna check it out because I do remember his name but that's what you already said the last name. I'm gonna bleep it though. Oh, gotcha. Yeah. I can't say I had a I can't say I had an interesting teacher like that.
00:38:44
Speaker
I did skip a final ones, uh, to go on the radio. And I didn't, I never told my parents that, but, uh, did you know you were going to pass the class? Damn. Hold on. What do you got? They died like the next year. Oh, really? Yeah. They forced him out of Yukon. That it must've been like a Joe Paterno situation. Joe Pa keeping him alive. Yeah. They forced him out the building and it's like, ah, well I got nothing to live for.
00:39:12
Speaker
Jesus. Yeah, the twin sister that was still living that she's got to be dead too. Sorry. He was he was bleeding out of his ear. Mid class that dude had something wrong with him. Yeah, I can't believe that. Rest rest in peace. Yeah, rest in power to my guy. Rest in power to my God. My God. Well, you know what? At least he died doing what he loved, you know?
Family Memories and Fitness Stories
00:39:39
Speaker
Yeah, it's at hospice care, which that's got to suck. But, you know, hey, yeah, well, what could you really expect? I mean, that guy, that dude taught history. He was history. Like he was my, oh, my, my father had him when he was at Yukon. Get out of here. I'm serious. I didn't even know your father went to Yukon. Yeah, dude. Lee blue. Yeah.
00:40:06
Speaker
legacy, 50, 50 years of service that teacher. Yeah. What's your father say about him, about that teacher? Well, cause I come home one time and I was complaining about him as a professor and he's like, you know, so-and-so like this name. And I was like, yep, for this class. And he was like, I definitely had him when I went there. So I was like, yep.
00:40:36
Speaker
He's like, that guy definitely should not be teaching. I was like, you're telling me. You ever, you ever admit to your dad that the time I broke into your house for those philosophy answers or remember that? Absolutely not. Because, because you weren't the first person to break into my house for something. Who else broke in there? Uh, do you remember the person that used to live down the road for me? Not,
00:41:00
Speaker
Not the guy, but the girl that used to live down the road for me. If you come off my street and you take a right. She broke in one time because I needed a book or a binder or something like that. I remember this story now. Yeah. And she came in and she, I'd given her the passcode for the alarm and she didn't type it in right. And so the alarm went off and she dipped out of there literally two seconds before the cops showed up.
00:41:29
Speaker
Yeah, I had a similar experience. I remember. I still I still went up there and got the paper. Oh, she didn't. She didn't. Oh, well, she got it from the cops that showed up. Yeah. So she got it. She got she got whatever she needed, but she was just in and out. You know, just has you ever been in your house before?
00:41:47
Speaker
No. See, that's that's that's where I I had the advantage there because I knew where Austin's bedroom was. I was like, oh, I know where to go. A beautiful house. Yeah, I mean, it was beautifully constructed. You know, luckily I spent time with your dog. So she didn't attack me. I came over. She's not. She wouldn't have attacked you even if she didn't know who you were. She was she was all bark, no bite.
00:42:10
Speaker
But yeah, multiple people had that kind of mission impossible experience in my house. But I peeled out and in my head I was like, damn, do I hear sirens right now? Or am I just tripping because I just technically broke into the house. Did you trip the alarm? Yes. Oh, OK. Yeah. And then I drove off. We had tripped the alarm in that house so many times. Didn't even matter. That's wild.
00:42:38
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Good times in that house. That was fun. That was fun. Great times in that house. I missed the basement in that house because it was so big. We had the ping pong table down there. We had the dartboard. The workout area. Whatever happened to the Corvette? Sold it. I know. He sold it a while ago. He should have kept it. I would have bought it over him. You would have bought that car off of him? I mean, I don't have the money. You liar. You would not have bought that car off of him.
00:43:06
Speaker
I do. I would have. I liked it. I liked it. Yeah, it was a nice car. It was a heavy clutch on that car. And that car had like 30,000 miles on it. And it was an 85 Corvette. Eighty five. I thought it was 80. But that that is that was one of the one car that I was like, I would have I would have seriously considered it. Yeah, if it was a little bit later, like if it was now and we had to get rid of that car, then I'd be like, dude, I'll find a place to store it. One hundred percent. Yeah.
00:43:36
Speaker
No, it was it was nice. We had to get rid of that. Yeah, no, but the house, the house, beautiful basement, beautiful, three car garage, beautiful. I mean, we did a lot of stuff there, you know. Yeah, it did. You had worked out on that whole little machine set that we had down there. You did it once or twice. Yeah. No, not for me. I know for a fact, I only did it like once. Awesome. How does doing ab work is I was like, I'm not doing this. Well, I was doing was it cherry pickings or whatever where you're like, like the Russian twist or the Russian twist? I was like, I can't do this shit.
00:44:07
Speaker
I have a picture of Mike on my phone doing shoulder presses on the little Smith machine there. That was the one and only time that he did that work. No, we did it for a few months. We did it, we did it like twice. And then Mike straight up said to me, he's like, he's like, this isn't for me. I don't remember that.
00:44:27
Speaker
Yeah, Mike, that's the thing with your fitness goal. You gotta get into the iron paradise, buddy. Go to the gym. Start lifting some weights. Well, this is what I say all the time. I am not a great self-motivator, so I don't want to dish out the money, but I feel like I have to pay for some sort of personal trainer and tell them this is what I want to do. This is what in the shape I want to be, what I want to work on this and that, and have them just work with me and motivate me to do that, because clearly,
00:44:56
Speaker
I mean, there's a gym in my place I pay for as part of my rent every month. And you think my ass went up there once that seat. That's the thing. Part of your rent. It's already you're just like, oh, I'm paying the right. I actually should get a gym membership that, you know, where you're paying is and it's like, oh, I'm paying for this. I have to go. You know, I've tried the cycling room. They have a cycling room. I've tried it a few times.
00:45:18
Speaker
And I like it, but you have to like they have a TV in the room. There's like two or three bikes and they have a TV. Um, and I've just been like, I would get like free, free rides from YouTube. You know what I'm saying? And try to try to mimic those, but they, they really hone in on you getting the subscription and all that, you know? But then after a while, how many YouTube free rides can you do that? They're all the same, you know?
00:45:41
Speaker
Yeah. That's I don't see you as a bike guy, man. Yeah. I think you just got to go to the gym. I mean, that iron. You could get like the one that I go to the edge. You can get a membership that includes like cycling classes, other class like mine. I think I pay like thirty three dollars a month, which is a lot. But like if you go. You know, yeah. Fifteen times like two dollars a time. Every time you're there, I think it's worth it.
00:46:10
Speaker
You wanna talk about cycling. That place has a whole section of that gym that's a movie theater, but instead of seats, they have cardio equipment. So they have treadmills, they have cycles, they have ellipticals. That was so cool. And then they would give you like a showing of what was playing. Yeah, we a whole lit in the month. They give the month now. You can see everything. Oh, really? Yeah. That's pretty sad. Yeah. Huh? Every Sunday, check out.
00:46:38
Speaker
The I feel like the Weathersfield one isn't that far from you. No, it's not. You could come to the Bristol one with me and work out. That's that one is not that far either. Yeah. Yeah, man, we're going to get you looking some weights this year. Twenty twenty five. That's that's going to be. We talked about resolutions on the last one. That's going to be my personal resolution is getting Mike to lift weights. There you go.
00:47:00
Speaker
By the end of 2025, we're going to be we're going to be super beefy. I used to I used to go with my dad in high school when he worked in the morning instead of overnight. And he would go it was Planet Fitness, but he would go stupid early in the morning. It was like 430 in the morning. But that was but that, you know, he started working whatever time, seven or eight. But like so I would go before school, before high school, work out with him and then go to high school. And it was working.
00:47:28
Speaker
And it worked out well because we all know that Planet Fitness at certain times is just a disaster, right? You're not getting any equipment. People are there for kind of the wrong reasons instead of working out the whole nine. But at that time was pretty cool because it was all the guys or the people that were actually serious about working out and was just like, you know, everybody kind of knew everybody at that time of the morning. So they would
00:47:48
Speaker
just you know everybody would work out nobody's hitting the long alarm if you're grunting or you're slamming weights like everybody's there for good for a good pump remember the long alarm that's still a thing so everybody was there for a good pump you know what I'm saying and doing their thing and everybody knew each other casually so nobody's riding on each other's my dad got the long alarm hit on him once or twice you know I'm saying but those guys in the morning you know just kind of knew everybody knew the routine and I did that for a while you know
00:48:15
Speaker
Wasn't your dad hitting the neck exercises on the machine? Yeah, my dad's the animal that uses something. He's like, you know the leg one like this? OK. My dad's the animal. It's like, I use it for my neck. I just put some weight on it. And he's like pumping his neck. And I was like, dog, I think I've got to stop coming with you. I'm the one that press.
00:48:37
Speaker
he's got the cables and he's like jumping up he had the gravity boots he had the gravity boots that had the hook so he would hook and he would hang and he would do it i did those those were great did he let you borrow them i remember him letting somebody borrow them i remember it was you yeah at one point he let me borrow them and then i got my own
00:48:57
Speaker
He was like a good person to work out with. Like he he knew like from the military and stuff like, you know, this is a good exercise for this and that's buff as shit. I mean, not maybe not so much anymore. But, you know, if you like, I for his 60th birthday, I was like going through pictures of him when he was deep in the military. Like it was no joke, but he was just that animal. He was like, this one's for the quad, but I use it for the foot. And I'm like, ah, he's crazy. I don't know. I don't know about that.
00:49:22
Speaker
Then he's like, they pulled a local arm on me. And I was like, yeah, were you using, you know, like the arm machine for, you know, your fibula? Like, what are you doing? For some reason, I feel like you've told me this before, because I specifically remember you doing this movement. Yeah, yeah. He would tell you it was the leg press or something like that. And he was just like cranking it, dude, with the neck. And he's like, oh, that's insane. I'm like, dude, that's animal move. That's animal move.
00:49:49
Speaker
That's functional bodybuilding right there. Hey, you know what? God bless him. I got so many neck problems. I should start trying that. See if that fixes it. And like everything else, the pandemic ruined it. Stop working out. You know, they closed the gyms and he was working at night. His job is now less physical and it kind of and it kind of killed him. But, you know, for a while I was I was following his routine and it was it was intense. But those guys who were serious about working out were cool, man. They were not going to steer you in the wrong direction. So it was fun while it lasted, you know.
00:50:20
Speaker
What a guy. You got to get you back in the gym. I get myself back in the gym to be consistent, but. But I got to start small. That's why we said like last episode, like start with walking. You know what I'm saying? Like two miles, two miles a day is definitely a start.
Entertainment Choices and Road Safety
00:50:35
Speaker
Let me tell you. Three years of walking up and down three flights of steps to get to my apartment. My ass is plump. I'm not going to lie to you. Listen, these legs, these legs, you know, I say that jokingly, but like,
00:50:50
Speaker
You know, like we talked about like me getting healthy weight and last I was like, you know, like three years of going up and down three flights is that's a lot of times these legs again. Listen, at least legs. We know we've seen you but the audience hasn't. Can you stand up and give it to me a little? You have to drop the pants. Just show just show the shape. You know, show everybody what you've been working.
00:51:14
Speaker
You're not going to bully me to listen. I'll leave the couch right now so it could look like a different scene. I mean, it's all set up. We got the we got the camera. We got the couch. Exactly. I'm trying to start my acting career. You know what I'm saying? Can you show us your idea to show us your rating? You know what? Sixty percent of the Internet really ruined us. But what are you going to do?
00:51:41
Speaker
We 60% of the internet is way away. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, I believe I believe it's a 60%. That's crazy. I want to look that up now. Yeah, not porn, but this is a porn hub.com is 60% about screen sharing. I I did read like.
00:52:01
Speaker
When I was like scrolling my phone earlier, I saw that they just banned Pornhub in Florida. So VPN, like the searches for VPN and like, you know, like Nord or whatever, they've gone up 100 or 1,150% in Florida in the past like week because they just banned it there. So everyone's like, fucking, I need to get a VPN.
00:52:22
Speaker
That's it, man. I mean, there's no blockbuster anymore. Remember Blockbuster FYE? They had like the section that had all the movies covered. You know, you can still go to ecstasy video on Lakewood Road. God, is that place still open? Yeah, I drove by. There you go, man. 1030 the other night and they it was the lights were on. God, they should have a sign out front like McDonald's does where it's like one billion serves. Yeah.
00:52:46
Speaker
No, servicing the community in the dark. I didn't know that those places had like viewing stalls. Oh, I didn't know that you could like go back and watch.
00:53:00
Speaker
Uh-huh. The porn. I didn't know that. That's disgusting. That's awful. Little free trial, you know what I mean? Yeah. I mean, they used to have those, that used to be Times Square in like the 80s. Oh, yeah. Just like a bunch of- No, wait, what? What are you talking about? Oh, you didn't know that? Times Square in the 80s was basically just like porn theaters, like strip clubs, like places to basically like jerk off in public.
00:53:23
Speaker
They had they had a basically we're like, yeah, we should not have this in like one of the busiest sections of the city We should make this family friendly And so they said And people use it for the exact same thing it didn't stop you could take it away from the people but the people ain't gonna stop and Technically the clientele coming in now. It's worse
00:53:47
Speaker
but they're attracting a different crowd. Yeah, it's a different crowd. It's not going to stop Florida. It ain't stopping. No. No. Are you kidding me? That's nuts. Yeah. Viewing rooms. I didn't know they had. I mean, that's just gross. I would never. I don't know where, but someone should send me a list of where these places are so I can avoid them.
00:54:12
Speaker
Please give me a detail or go give it a try. No, no, no to to avoid them. Don't be shy. Give it a try. That's not for a reason. I don't even want to be suspected of going to any of these places, you know. Listen, you brought it up. That's why I'm just you know, that way I can block them out in the GPS. So I'm just right. Never. So I know that they're there and I'm like not going there. I'm going to avoid that building.
00:54:36
Speaker
It's like that scene in the Simpsons movie where it's like, they're trying to blow up Springfield and it's like the Grand Canyon too. It's not on any GPS whatsoever. That's what I think about it. It was Tom Hanks. He's like, hi, I'm Tom Hanks. Great movie. Beautiful movie. You know my love for the Simpsons. Beautiful.
00:54:58
Speaker
That is my goal. What do you guys put on? You guys do this like comfort. I don't I don't call it a comfort show. But like, again, like talking about like I put on The Simpsons is my show that I put on and either I could sit there and dead watch it or I just put it on the background while I do some things or something like that's always like if there's nothing else to watch, I'm putting that on. Do you guys have a show like that, like your comfort show or just something that you like have as the safety to put on? Sadly, Instagram reels.
00:55:26
Speaker
Hmm. What's your screen time at today? They're handsome. Uh, this, this week it was seven hours and 14 minutes. Let's see what it was today. I was off and I didn't really do much until till this six hours and 45 minutes today, almost two hours of that spent on Instagram an hour and eight minutes on Reddit. It's not that bad.
00:56:08
Speaker
kinda sounds bad.
00:56:10
Speaker
Like you know how like on the YouTube app, like on a TV, we'll show you like categories and like all this stuff. I was like nine rows down all the way over being like, what can I watch? None of this stuff is appealing to me right now. I was like, I should just watch a show. That's how it is. That's how it gets you. It's it's designed to be that way. I watch way too much YouTube, but that's because I like to have something on in the background.
00:56:36
Speaker
you know, like while I'm working or something like that, not because I'm watching it, but because I need noise. Yeah. Um, but it's, it's not, it's not bad. Why Mike, why is yours really low?
00:56:48
Speaker
What do you mean really though? Like screen time. Screen time. I don't track it, but no, since I kind of- Your phone will tell you. Your phone does. Yeah. I thought I had to like turn it on to track it. Oh, no. Maybe you do. All right, let me look. I don't think so. I'll tell you right now. Yeah, you scroll, just open your, like get to the home screen, then scroll left all the way. Yeah. And then scroll down. Keep scrolling.
00:57:12
Speaker
Oh, yeah, no, I guess you turn on app and websites. Yeah, I have to turn it on. All right. Well, turn it on. And here's a report back. Turn it on. That's your homework. Yeah. Let's see how much you're on there. And can I turn it off later? Will it start tracking now or like was it already tracking? And it will start tracking now. I don't think it will.
00:57:30
Speaker
All right, I'll start fresh tomorrow. All right. I'll turn it on like fresh. Like I don't want it's already one day by day, dude. So it'll it'll discount today. It'll just tell you what tomorrow. It'll cut itself off. OK, OK. I imagine it's gone down because I cut social media, but I also do scroll on some reels. You know, it's kind of what I do. But I also use my phone a lot for work. So I feel like that's going to make the number go up. So I mean, that's fine. Whatever. As long as you know.
00:57:58
Speaker
I was told last night that you do peruse tiktok for three hours before hopping in the shower face on me facebook rules i think that's sitting on that that is so much listen listen 40 45 minutes in the bathroom 10 in the shower the other 35 just watching videos
00:58:14
Speaker
I mean, hey, listen, my kind of videos are you're watching? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? No, I'm watching. I'm watching reels. I'm watching. I started. I started just I put Disney Plus on my phone and maybe like after I shower and I like brush my teeth through the whole nine, just throw a quick episode on there. You know, really, really relax it up before I go to bed.
00:58:33
Speaker
Yeah, I was told three hours. So I mean, I don't know who to believe. Three hours, three hours is a lie. If I wait, wait, wait, wait, wait hours in the bathroom. If I spent three hours in the bathroom, call the cops because there's a problem.
Club Experiences and Team Dynamics
00:58:50
Speaker
So I was going to say my splits more like 20 minutes videos, 10 minutes into the shower. You know, I condense all that. I put on a video while I'm in the shower.
00:58:59
Speaker
See, I got to get one of those like clear bags that you could like slot your phone in before you turn the water on. And then you could still like your phone's waterproof, dude. Yeah, but I'm not water resistant, but I don't want it to be wet. You know what bugs the shit out of me? People watch people watch movies while they drive. People are watching TikToks and reels in movies like the amount of times I'm driving on the highway. Watch sports when I drive. Like I like drive on location and I like pass somebody and their phone is that up on the windshield and they're watching like a full movie.
00:59:29
Speaker
and
00:59:48
Speaker
These these are full-on drama series shows. They're watching I'm telling you there You can tell the difference between a tick-tock and a movie. Okay, and these people are watching movies while they try Hey, here's a better question. Why are you looking in their car and not on the road? You because I gotta flip them off for being distracted. You know I'm saying I gotta hit them with the bird to you. They're looking at the phone. No shit. No
01:00:11
Speaker
No, shit. That's why they're too late. Mike, I got. Oh, shit. I got to use a phrase that you used a couple of episodes ago. Here we go. I'm scared. I can't beat them. Join them. That's right. I thought I was. I thought I was a dollar's a dollar. You start watching movies. No. No. That's right. I want to. I got hit twice by distracted driving. You guys.

01:00:55
Speaker
When did we become this type of show, Victor? What is this? What are we doing? Are you just going to start putting out your little lessons on here? Is this a way for me to start putting out? I don't do that, dog. You know that. Come on. I know. We just asked you to take your pants off. You said no. You didn't want to do it at all. You didn't want to stand up. You can see that tight little ass of yours.
01:01:18
Speaker
Oh, that was I don't know how I felt about that one. I'm not going to feel objectified. He just he just complemented you. I think I think objectified is right. I think is this is this how women feel like that's crazy.
01:01:34
Speaker
I went to the, yo, is this how women feel? That's crazy. That's crazy. That's, that's all you got. That's all you got for centuries of objectification. One time I went to, uh, that's crazy. Listen, mental health. And he says, that's crazy. That's crazy. I went to, uh, one of the, um, clubs at the casino once a while ago for somebody's birthday. We all went as a group and we're all there dancing. I think little John was the guest.
01:02:02
Speaker
okay so that's how you know that what that kind of night was and somebody i don't know who like i was just dancing this and that somebody put my hand their hand on my back it was pushing on it to make me bend over so i could back it up and so obviously me
01:02:18
Speaker
I roll with it right so I'm just like okay you know like do a little one two pump pump okay after the fact I was like wow guys do that to women like that happens you know like just unwanted like a little little hand on the back a little get down there you know that's crazy yo maybe maybe you do that yeah I was gonna say
01:02:42
Speaker
Well, who did that to you? Like, did you know? Did you turn around at all? Yeah. Well, yeah. After the fact, I turned around. But what I'm saying is like someone you knew. Was it a friend? Yes, it was somebody I knew. It was a friend. Yes. But what I'm saying is like that off like it was a total stranger. And you were just like, oh, I guess I'm going to grind on this guy.
01:03:02
Speaker
Well, I figured out after the fact, I figured out after the fact, you know what I'm saying? Like after I turned around, I was like, oh, it was a friend. But like the fact that like guys do that. It is it is so funny that you are willing to do it without knowing. You know, I think that's what I'm saying. It could have been anybody. It could have been anyone. You're like, oh, you know, I guess, you know, just.
01:03:24
Speaker
Bending it over for some string. Listen, if you got it, flaunt it. You know what I'm saying? Listen, when you walk up and down three flights of stairs for three years, you're using what God gave you. There are so many mixed messages coming out of this. If you can't join them, you know, dollars a dollar. What other ones we got? I just want to say for everybody that's listening, if somebody does that to you, please don't just bend over. Yeah, no, don't do that. Don't do that.
01:03:52
Speaker
Yeah, and don't be that don't be the bender, you know, don't be the person trying to also also true. Do not also anybody. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I learned. That's what I learned that day. I learned that I was like, guys, do this to women and it doesn't feel good because it happened to me. It doesn't feel good. And I and I became a better person that night. You know what, Mike? I'm I'm happy that you went through that experience. You should have learned that lesson before then. You should have known way before.
01:04:22
Speaker
I'm like finally get it now. What I'm saying is that like I have not done that. But what I'm saying is like people do that. Yeah, people do that. They do. They do. And you and you have you've created that space today and saved somebody else the trouble of learning that lesson. If I could save one person, I think I've done a good job.
01:04:47
Speaker
What do you guys think about being life coaches? You think we'd be good life coaches? I don't think I would. Victor would be like, it doesn't matter, kill yourself. I'd be like, OK. I wouldn't say that. I've heard it before. OK, I've heard it before. I wouldn't say it. Throwing you under the bus, Vic. Yeah, it's all right. You think we'd be good life coaches? Absolutely not. I think you just gave everybody a prime example of why you wouldn't be a good life coach.
01:05:14
Speaker
I'd be like, look, you have two options. Turn around, say no, or back that ass up. You choose, you know, I was I was going to say you unlearned a misogyny, but I think you just brought it right back. I know you did. Oh, man. All right. Well, this has been fun, guys. Yeah. We did good. I think it's safe to officially say this, but Atticus has left the pod.
01:05:40
Speaker
Oh man, no Atticus. Yeah, and you guys have replaced. These are the replacements guys. So yeah, we said when we first started that that they were in the closet. Yeah, we just haven't let them out. Yeah, never.
01:05:58
Speaker
But yeah, just a little housekeeping on that one. I felt like in case you guys were wondering. Yeah, I would have did an episode without a kiss. It would have been fun. I mean, he might come back for like one off or whatever, but he should. But yeah, as as of right now, yeah, he's left the show. So.
01:06:16
Speaker
