Chris: gotta hit start welcome back to another episode of the mythic giraffe podcast i'm chris i don't know that's
whattimeisit: The music never went. What is that? And I'm Ron and I don't know what time it is.
Chris: the thing it's daylight savings we're all thrown off cats and dogs living together it is yeah
whattimeisit: anarchy. It's so dumb. can we Which one do we need to get rid of to make it better?
Chris: i just leave it as it is now i guess i don't know
whattimeisit: Right, is it this one we keep? We don't keep the one other one, right? We keep this one.
Chris: I think, I don't know.
whattimeisit: This is the end of Daylight Savings, right? Not the beginning.
Chris: yeah This is daylight saving ending.
whattimeisit: Right, so let's just call it.
Chris: Yeah. It's ended. It's done.
whattimeisit: Time of death, debbra or eleven October October.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: November the 2nd, 2025.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: but It also feels like it's early this year.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: usually feel like it's in the middle of November.
Chris: I see. I felt like it was I thought it was usually in like October. I don't know. It's probably some stupid thing that it's like, oh, when does the, you know, sun pass by a waning gibbous? And don't know.
whattimeisit: And I'm sure B-shift is submitting their extra time as we speak. Good
Chris: Oh, yeah, that's. Yeah, I that killed me.
whattimeisit: old B-shift.
Chris: They used to.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: But don't take the time when they get a short shift.
Chris: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
whattimeisit: Yeah, they earn that
Chris: yeah
Chris: It's and then you've got what would we talk that there's like four states that don't use daylight savings and.
whattimeisit: time.
whattimeisit: Yeah, there's... And there's countries that don't do it. Just get rid of it.
Chris: Oh, yeah, yeah.
whattimeisit: It's a nightmare. it's We bitch about it perennially. It's time to be done with it.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Maybe it made sense at one point 1774 or whenever Franklin proposed it, but we got digital clocks now.
Chris: Right. Yeah.
Chris: Yeah. It's yeah. Yeah, but I like the rationale. Industrialized societies usually follow a clock-based schedule for daily activities that do not change throughout the course of the year.
Chris: yeah remi Yeah, but who cares? There's lights now.
whattimeisit: ah sir
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. We are no longer covered by solar time because as we've proven, time is nothing.
whattimeisit: Time is just a construct. We're all living in a simulation anyways.
Chris: Hmm.
whattimeisit: And simulation is breaking.
Chris: Yeah, yeah.
whattimeisit: As we speak.
Chris: Oh my god. Yeah. All right.
whattimeisit: So, playing any new games? Anything fun?
Chris: Yeah, started playing a Ghost of Yote.
whattimeisit: Sounds like a Slasher. What are those games called?
Chris: Hack and slash, kind of?
whattimeisit: Ah, the Dark Souls.
Chris: No?
whattimeisit: Souls...
Chris: Oh, no, not really. No, it's not Souls-like. It's the...
Chris: it's the It's not a sequel, but it's like the same vein as they had Ghost of Tsushima five years ago, four years ago. Yeah. You're a Ronin, your family was murdered and it's you getting the um a backing or whatever to take down the six crime Lords that killed your family.
Chris: Very like, like there's a map. But you know a lot of games, you'll ping a place on a map, and then there's like something glowing or whatever. In this, the wind blows in that direction to guide you.
Chris: And yeah, there's a lot of like environmental cues that tell you things.
whattimeisit: The wind! The wind! It's
Chris: And yeah, it's pretty neat. You can do like a standoff, like an old samurai movie and stuff. Yeah.
whattimeisit: fun.
Chris: Yeah. It's neat. How about you?
whattimeisit: Um, Planet Crystal.
whattimeisit: Yeah. Making my way through the DLC. It's a lot.
Chris: Yeah. Have you figured out the ah water supply issues?
whattimeisit: Oh.
Chris: and
whattimeisit: Oh, my God. I was playing yesterday and my mind was blown. I walked in this guy's house I was like, what the fuck? How did you run the wires like this? Now I have to redo all of my wiring.
whattimeisit: That's the whole thing.
Chris: ah yeah. Make sure it's up to code.
whattimeisit: Yeah. I got the inspector in there.
Chris: can you imagine that and i'm sure there's some simulation game that's like that like you you build everything out and then you know the plumbing inspector comes by so you can't do that yeah
whattimeisit: No.
whattimeisit: Well, he wouldn't like my irrigation system, so.
Chris: if it works that's what matters yeah 60 of the time it works 100 of the time
whattimeisit: ah It works about 60% of the time. To be fair. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm having some power supply issues that I've got to figure out, but now I've figured them out.
whattimeisit: So, you know, there's going lot more wire running.
Chris: Yeah. Nice.
whattimeisit: So basically I'm going another entire day and a video game running, rewiring, my video game.
Chris: Well, when you get done this, you'll have the experience. You can rewire your house.
whattimeisit: No, and nana day no, Try that. I'm doing it ever again.
Chris: ha Yeah.
whattimeisit: Nay, nay.
Chris: I, uh, my Jeep's driver side door lock, the power lock was not engaging, just was not locking the door. So you had to get out, use the key to lock it.
Chris: so I was like, okay. So i look and I was like, you know, it it looked like was going to be about between six and $800 to get it fixed. was like, no, there's gotta be an easier fix. I look up things and everything. And I found,
Chris: like The part that's the actual door actuator. And people are like, oh yeah, it happens. Just replace this thing. was like, okay. So look online. Of course, if you get it from Jeep, it's like $300.
Chris: So I was like, yep. So I find one through a reliable parts store. $29, $30. I was like, okay. Comes in the mail.
Chris: and look at it. i'm like, okay. Well, here's where it's got to go. i was like, I probably just take the panel off the door and plug it in. I had to take everything out of the door.
Chris: um I had to disconnect it from every bit of the lock. I had to clamp my window in place so I could remove the window actuator and everything. But at the end, I got it all put back together two hours later and the doors lock.
Chris: So it works.
whattimeisit: I would have just bought a new car
Chris: at all I told my wife, I was like, first I was worried because ah I got the door put back together and everything. And it hit the lock button and nothing happened. it was like, oh no.
whattimeisit: new car.
Chris: But then I remembered I hadn't plugged the door back in because I disconnected it.
whattimeisit: Oh, no.
Chris: So I didn't like set off an airbag or something.
whattimeisit: Shark, shark.
Chris: So yeah, did that. And then I was like, the locks work.
whattimeisit: i My friend, long-time friend from college, texted me yesterday. Hey, I got something about a friend of his car. You want to come over and help me? I'm like, in our long time of knowing each other, when have you ever seen me do car maintenance?
whattimeisit: Not doing it. He's like, what? I'm like, no, it's not happening.
Chris: Yeah, should come over.
whattimeisit: You want me to...
Chris: Yeah, I got you. No problem. Sure.
whattimeisit: Yeah, ah you don't brakes. Those are for pussies. No, because I do go over his house. it's his like His house is my project house where I'll just be like, yeah, I'll rewire a ceiling fan here and I'll figure it out.
whattimeisit: So I've like run wiring his house. I've done ceiling fans. I've thought a lot of like candy main crap at his house that I won't do in my house because I want it done right.
Chris: Well, let's say, yeah, you get the first job done there so you know what you're doing. Hmm.
whattimeisit: Right.
whattimeisit: But I just let the i let all of the maintenance issues pile up on my vehicle, and then I'm just like, cool, this is a dealership's problem now. can get a new car. It's just better issue.
whattimeisit: Yeah.
Chris: yeah yeah i there are some things i mean it used to be you bought well at least me i would buy a car And I would also, i would go to the parts store and I would buy the Chilton or Hanes manual that showed like every piece of that car, like taken apart and everything. So you could fiddle with it. And now everything's so computerized and all it's just, it's too much for me.
whattimeisit: Yeah, you you and I have very different ah backgrounds when it comes to maintenance.
whattimeisit: It is the one thing that the Salisbury Fire Department does not understand and still does not understand about me. don't do maintenance. I never pretended to do maintenance. I never said I'm good at this shit. And people are just like, oh, you do this and this and this and you fix it. I'm like, that's not on my list of skills.
whattimeisit: I put this this. This wet substance on this hot substance. That's the end of my training. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
whattimeisit: it is the It is the fire department way to like fiddle with everything.
Chris: yeah oh yeah yeah
whattimeisit: Sort of half-fixed shit. ah And I just learned a long time ago, it's better to just pay somebody knows what the fuck they're doing, and then it's fixed.
Chris: yeah let me I've got people for that yeah yeah
whattimeisit: Done. Like, you hang cabinets. I don't hang cabinets. I got people for that.
whattimeisit: Because I'm just going to be mad at myself when it's not right. This way I can be mad at somebody else.
Chris: yeah
Chris: Sir, I've paid you for a surface. Why haven't you done said service correctly?
whattimeisit: Yeah. Yeah. i yeah
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: I look at the ceiling that I painted down here. It looks like crap. like I'm like, just going have to get somebody in here and fix this.
Chris: I want to say we're finally getting our roof leak addressed in the next couple of weeks.
whattimeisit: Oh, that's good. and
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Just...
Chris: Yeah. But of course now, I mean, you can see like some wet spots. on the drywall. I'm always like, that looks like mold.
whattimeisit: Right.
Chris: I'm like, it's probably some kind of mold. It's not black mold.
whattimeisit: Right.
Chris: What are we going to do? i was like, well, when they fix the roof, I'm going to cut those sections out and we'll put new drywall up.
whattimeisit: Just repaint it.
Chris: I said, but when we cut it out, I'm going to put my head up there. And yeah, she's like, yeah, we need to look around and make sure. i was like, oh yeah, yeah. You know, we'll bleach anything we have to or whatever. I said, but this might, I think to myself, this might be another storage area we could have.
Chris: So might convert it to like a little pull down attic over the garage.
whattimeisit: Nice.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Yeah. I've got a two wet spots upstairs from where I had roof leak before I had my roof leaks and I just ignore them.
Chris: What's other thing? mean, this is out in the garage. It's fine.
whattimeisit: But none of that, but like if you talk to anybody about drywall, once it dries, it's just back to normal. It's fine.
Chris: Yeah, yeah.
whattimeisit: So just paint over the spot.
Chris: Yeah, yeah, here yeah.
whattimeisit: be fine. like My wife, we have like, yeah, you just, yeah.
Chris: That's where you get the the kills done.
whattimeisit: Well, my wife, we have like a little bit of mildew that grows up in the ceiling of the, of the bathroom. But I've got, i had them put the green drywall up in there.
Chris: Mm-hmm.
whattimeisit: I got, you know, all the, and she's like, well, it's it's this.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: I'm like, just take a little spray, Lysol spray, wipe it off.
Chris: hu
whattimeisit: It goes away.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: I'm like, it's a wet bathroom. It gets moist in here.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: What are you going to yeah
Chris: Get a fern.
whattimeisit: Yeah, something.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: The drywall tape is sagging. She's like, how are you going to fix that? like, call somebody? I don't
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: know.
Chris: I mean, you could peel it down, sand it down, re-mud it, re-tape it.
whattimeisit: yeah' have to I'd have to remod the whole thing.
Chris: yeah
whattimeisit: Nightmare.
Chris: You do the contractor special and just slather some paint up there and that'll adhere it.
whattimeisit: And when I go to sell the house, that's what I'll do. They won't even know.
Chris: ah Let's say I watch some of these videos and it's like home inspections gone wrong and it's yeah God, some of the things that I guess all this one, they put this beautiful new carpet in their living room and all.
Chris: And in the corner, they have a PVC pipe that comes up and then goes out the wall. And has a little tag on it that says sump pump line. Don't trip. I'm like, what? No, either build something around that or move it. Don't just, it was literally like in the corner of the ah living room, like an eight foot pipe that went down on the floor.
whattimeisit: when i When I bought this house, I was like, this weird. This house doesn't have a sump pump. Because, like, have a split level.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: So, you know, water is going somewhere.
Chris: Yeah? Oh, yeah.
whattimeisit: And so I'm like, Scotty, it's crazy. How did this miracle happen that don't have a sump pump? And then, like, years later, I was in the in the the back room, and I'm like...
whattimeisit: feels a little damp right here it's a little linoleum floor i cut the linoleum and they had just taken a piece of metal covered the sump and put linoleum back over it and i was like what the who why would you so i'm like
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Oh, yeah. that's
Chris: Contractor special.
whattimeisit: So I had to like run a sump pump line. i built a little box to go around the sump so that, you know, it's, you don't fall into the sump pump.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: It's crazy. I guess they were just like, well, I want that, that little corner more importantly than I want the water to drain out from my foundation.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: yeah
whattimeisit: Maniacs.
Chris: Yeah. My neighbor, as I had my Jeep door torn apart yesterday, Got my earbuds you working on stuff. And he comes over, he's like, hey. I was like, oh God, you scared me. I was like, hey, what's up? take He's like, so, you know, I'm sure Sarah told you we're putting a fence in. was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a great idea. He's like, so there's gonna be that alleyway between your fence and my fence.
Chris: was like, okay. He's like, mean, that's kind of narrow. Would you be okay if we just like killed it off with round off or whatever and just like paved it or put stone? i was like, sure. He's like, are you sure? i was like, yeah, kill it, kill all the grass. I don't care.
whattimeisit: yeah everybody Why not just put the fences... Why not tie the fences together?
Chris: In case one of us moves, that way you don't have a tied fence to your new neighbor that you may or may not like.
whattimeisit: But then you still fence. Who cares?
Chris: I i don't know, man. but the guy the neighbor Our neighbors to the other side, they left that alleyway. So yeah.
whattimeisit: Why? That's crazy.
Chris: I don't know.
whattimeisit: Okay.
Chris: Well, one of it is. i mean, it's two different colored fences.
whattimeisit: No, just get the same... but See, that's why you have to establish dominance. You put up the fence first, and then they have to conform to the fence that you put up. And then and once they've conformed, you put up a new fence just to screw with them.
Chris: yeah
Chris: Just change out five panels.
whattimeisit: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
whattimeisit: Yeah, gonna...
Chris: Is there a way to like refresh panel, the fence panels, the PVC ones?
whattimeisit: I think you just have to... I don't know, break them out and put a new one in?
Chris: Oh God.
whattimeisit: Because I've got a broken one in the back.
Chris: i don't want to do that. Yeah. But like, I've got some that, know, it's just like the sun fade, you know, plastic.
whattimeisit: Yeah.
Chris: I don't know if you could like, you take a blowtorch to them. Like, no, no, but I've seen like, would they do that to like stadium seats.
whattimeisit: Yeah, definitely.
Chris: They torch them gently in it.
whattimeisit: Sure, yeah, yeah.
Chris: don't know. I would do that and I would, I would have a melted slag somewhere.
whattimeisit: I don't know.
whattimeisit: I have a panel that The county clearly was cut in the grass and kicked, I don't know, must have been a bladed weapon from a samurai through my fucking fence.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: got and But it's on the back, so I don't really see it and i don't care until I go out there and a we back I'm like, God damn it!
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: And I just ignore it for another six months.
Chris: yeah
whattimeisit: But I'm about to take out a two panels of my fence and put a shed in.
Chris: Ooh.
whattimeisit: by And by when I say I'm about to, I'm about to pay somebody. to take two panels out of my fence. I'll just move one of those back there.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Yeah.
Chris: It's like, I've got to redo, I want to redo my shed, make it a little bit bigger. I'm trying to decide if I want to just totally demo it or just knock down a wall and add to it.
whattimeisit: I regret not knocking down my shed and keeping one wall because my original shed was before the county setback.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: So we have a 12-inch setback rule. So I got that stupid space between my fence line and the shed.
Chris: ah
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: But this one I'm going to take where my stupid fish pond was, or is currently. I'm just going to put a shed right over that, tie it into the fence line, and have a little shed for my bikes.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: and
Chris: Nice.
whattimeisit: I can't have a garage. That's my brother. Just build a garage in your house. i don't understand why you're not doing that. i don't know I'm sure a shed and a garage are probably the same price.
Chris: Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's comparable.
whattimeisit: Yeah, I work for the city.
Chris: Yeah, yeah. They say, you know, the garages are the new sheds.
whattimeisit: Yeah, that's what they all say.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: work for the city of Salisbury, but I see myself getting the...
Chris: Yeah. Just put a pole building out there. Yeah.
whattimeisit: Yeah, sure.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: ah
whattimeisit: not really a thing here where I live.
Chris: yeah
whattimeisit: You know, you don't just like put ah a building bigger than your house in your backyard.
Chris: yeah
Chris: No?
whattimeisit: now
Chris: And it's like, I don't, yeah.
whattimeisit: Some people do it.
Chris: And I mean, bully to those people who do it, but I look at some of them, I'm like, what are you doing with this wasted space? And what do you mean wasted space? I was like, well, you've got like an 18 foot ceiling in here.
Chris: What are you putting above you?
whattimeisit: and
Chris: Well, nothing. was like, okay.
whattimeisit: Some of those pole buildings you guys have down there on the shore are... Just knock your house down and move into the pole building. I don't know what you guys are doing.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah.
whattimeisit: so much It's like you have this crappy rancher in front that's falling apart and then it's like this 20,000 square foot pole building out back with you know heated seats and you know.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Well, they also have to have to have a place to put their brand new $80,000 or three quarter ton jacked up pickup.
whattimeisit: That's true. It's true.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: and Yeah. I've never seen people complain about the price of things and then drive up in their $80,000 pickup truck. And then three years later have a new $80,000 pickup truck.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. ah
whattimeisit: I think I can think of certain people who I work with who have spent more on pickup trucks in five years than I spent on cars in my entire life.
Chris: Oh, easily. Yes.
whattimeisit: And boy,
Chris: yeah if There are probably people who have spent more on vehicles than I've spent on my house.
whattimeisit: yeah, that's true. And boy does it piss them off that I would drive a car.
Chris: i yeah I don't understand that.
whattimeisit: it Really weird.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: I'm sorry they don't drive a pickup truck 100 miles each way to work? At one mile per gallon?
Chris: no a mile and a half.
whattimeisit: so Yeah. it's Why would I do that?
Chris: Yeah, that's I don't. I don't understand it.
whattimeisit: Carry your deer carcasses.
Chris: Yeah. And then the ones that that truck has never had anything in the bed of it that's heavier than a pound, you know, never pulled anything, no nothing.
whattimeisit: No.
whattimeisit: and ah kick It can't get dirty. Why
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: didn't that happen?
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. I don't get it.
whattimeisit: Cars, I'm very much of the, this is a vehicle. It gets me from point A to point B.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: I want the cheapest one that's comfortable and safe.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: And reliable enough to get me to work.
Chris: yeah
whattimeisit: And so far, that's Subaru. Brought to you by Subaru.
Chris: Yeah. but By Matt Slap Subaru.
whattimeisit: and Not anymore. It's gone.
Chris: No?
whattimeisit: Yeah.
Chris: he sold?
whattimeisit: so Sold out.
Chris: God, what a bastard.
whattimeisit: I know. and know.
Chris: Hmm.
whattimeisit: I know. Terrible.
Chris: Hmm. I felt bad for the this total side tangent. The other day, Thursday, finally leaving work. was supposed leave at 3.30. I think I finally left at like little bit after 4.
Chris: On my way home, was like, you know what? going to take Division Street because I just, yeah, I'll run the back way. And look and there's this SUV. It's a Ford Explorer. So I'm pulled over to the side of the road in traffic still, like righte right past College Avenue. So I'm in a city vehicle.
Chris: So I roll my window down. There's this older fella. I said, you're all right. No, not really. I'm like, oh, shit. So turn my lights on. pull over. What seems to be a problem?
Chris: Well, it just conked out on me. What you mean it conked out? Well, i've had issues with it, and it conked out. won't start. said, okay. I said, do you have a tow truck? No. Well, I bought this new phone, and it doesn't work.
Chris: Great.
whattimeisit: Mm-hmm.
Chris: So I said, all right. Find your insurance cards. We find it. So now State Farm thinks that this man, that I am this man's cell phone. So I'm still getting texts from them. Um, but we get the tow truck set up and everything.
Chris: And I was out there for like an hour and I did, but I saw on his front, it had this like side of the road car shop. I said, is that where you bought it from? oh yeah. Yeah. yeah They did me really good. You know, I've wanted 1500 for the Volkswagen I was trading in or whatever. And they gave me a even thousand. I'm like, oh, that doesn't sound equitable, but okay.
Chris: I said, well, while we wait for your tow truck, let's call them, see if they can work on it. So call, and again, I'm, you know, this is so-and-so, or, you know, this Chris. I'm calling on behalf of Mr. So-and-so.
Chris: says he bought this vehicle from you a week ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is he liking it? I said, well, it died on him today, and he wants to get it fixed. And she said, the girl was very nice. She's like, okay, but as we explained to him, this was an as-is deal. That's why he paid cash for it.
Chris: ah We'll fix it, but it's on him. i was like, All right, I'll let him know. I told you, so that's not right. i was like, you need to take this up with them. Oh, look, your tow trucks here. Have a nice night, sir. Oh my gosh.
whattimeisit: What's you get for getting involved?
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
whattimeisit: So that's what you get.
Chris: So that's my good deed for the year.
whattimeisit: Yeah. That's what you get for being involved in that.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Well, we already moved to topic one.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah. Topic one.
whattimeisit: I'm most excited for topic two, but topic one.
Chris: Okay.
whattimeisit: Topic one. So, uh, Clearly Halloween just passed, if listening to this in some sort of order.
Chris: Yes, it did.
whattimeisit: ah My, well, my wife loves Halloween, so we make a big deal of it.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: But the thing that I noticed, two things I noticed. trunk and treats are terrible. I'm saying it now. It's fine if you want to do an extra trunk or treat, but to take away trick or treating from children is terrible.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: You're terrible person.
whattimeisit: Because apparently there's neighborhoods that don't allow trick-or-treaters.
Chris: What?
whattimeisit: yeah Apparently that's a thing.
Chris: but What? i I don't understand. Okay. Proceed.
whattimeisit: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Proceeding. That's terrible, right?
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: like If you live in a place and you're like, ah I hate children that come around and spread joy. You're a jerk.
Chris: yeah Yeah.
whattimeisit: That's all I say.
Chris: or Or just turn your lights off and, you know.
whattimeisit: Right. And prepare for it be egged.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah.
whattimeisit: Yeah. But my neighbors, my little street, we all sat outside, which is, this is kind of where I'm going with this.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: We all sat outside because since COVID, we got to this habit of setting up little tables and sitting outside with the kids.
Chris: Mm-hmm.
whattimeisit: And the kids love it.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: They come to a little table. We've got all kinds of, it's out of control.
Chris: ah You guys are insane, but.
whattimeisit: We're insane. I fully admit, it takes like six to seven minutes per kid for them to go through the table. And we're causing a backup on the on the on the block. But we all sit outside.
whattimeisit: And then when there's like a little lull in the kids, we all sit there and talk. And it's pretty nice.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Like we don't normally do that, which is also weird.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Like we're all very friendly to each other. And we all do this once a year.
Chris: Right.
whattimeisit: think we should do that more than... That's the side the point. But got me thinking, I was like, because of COVID, at least for my neighborhood, Halloween has changed for the better.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: And I started thinking about what kind of other things have changed for the better because of this? And I couldn't really think of, yeah.
Chris: Because of COVID?
whattimeisit: And I think that might be the only one I came up with that was for the better.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Like work from home became a thing, but then they're fighting against it. You know, which.
Chris: Yeah, I would virtual meetings, that's a benefit.
whattimeisit: ah Yeah, virtual meetings. Yeah. Most meetings could just not be any meetings.
Chris: Well, yes, but
whattimeisit: How many meetings do you think you go to? And you go to more Marines than I do. That actually gets so something gets done.
Chris: Yeah, yeah. five percent
whattimeisit: Yeah, it's I think five percent high.
Chris: yeah yeah
whattimeisit: I think every time I've been involved in a meeting, it's a circle jerk session of just wasting everybody's time.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: And it's terrible.
Chris: Well, and I hate the ones that are, you know, we've all been at this meeting for, you know, the last, you know, each each other. We've been doing this once a month for the last year. ah oh but look, this agency has a new representative. So let's go around the room and everybody say your name. And what's your favorite flavor pie?
whattimeisit: Right.
Chris: No, no, I am not going to, after this meeting say, Hey, by the way, Apple pie. We should definitely. Yeah. We should talk more.
whattimeisit: You and we choose blueberry.
Chris: No. God. I just. Oh my gosh.
whattimeisit: i It drives me bonkers to sit in meetings and just get nothing done.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: You know, my wife, God bless her, she sits in virtual meetings all the time. And I'm like, did you guys accomplish anything? No.
whattimeisit: why are you having this meeting?
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: What is it going on?
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Well, this time, this time we had to show off our Halloween pet costumes.
Chris: Did you have an agenda? Did you meet the items on the agenda?
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: What the hell does that have to do with your job?
Chris: Oh
whattimeisit: That part, that comes from people who do not have friendships outside of work.
Chris: my god.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Like, because you friendships
Chris: Oh my God, I'm going to do that. The next quarterly officers meeting. Like, all right, yeah everybody go around the room. And what's your favorite color sock?
whattimeisit: not coming to this meeting. not I'm not going to be there. Those meetings already annoy me, so I'm not coming.
Chris: ah
whattimeisit: The running gag for the Court the Officer meeting is that I've been on the agenda for the last year.
Chris: And never gotten to you. Yeah.
whattimeisit: It's never gotten to me, and I just gave up. TJ was like, well, we'll get you next time. I said, just don't bother.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: The information I have is a year old at this point. It's not worth it.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: If it wasn't important enough for years of training, we're good. I just can't stand meeting meetings. I can't say virtual. I think virtual meetings waste even more time somehow.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Except that you don't have to drive there.
Chris: Yeah. That's a big thing to drive. Yeah.
whattimeisit: A good and bad is virtual health.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. yeah yeah
whattimeisit: Like if I get my blood work done from the doctor for my yearly physical, that's because I'm a good boy and get my yearly physical.
Chris: Mm-hmm.
Chris: Right.
whattimeisit: She's then like, all right, well, we have to have follow-up. It'll just be virtual to, you know, discuss your blood work.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Like, yeah, whatever. And then you find out that ah costs more money, costs me more money for the virtual follow-up than it did for the physical.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense. That makes sense.
whattimeisit: She talks to me for three seconds and says, hey, but look, that'll be $25.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's what? 8.30 a minute.
whattimeisit: Oh, it's crazy. um I'm telling you, if it's three minutes, that is, it's two of those minutes of her saying, hey, how are you I haven't seen you in two weeks since we did your blood drop, your physical.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Like, and then it's, yep, that'll be $25.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: cool
Chris: what's Or the ones that don't give you that option. Like I had to drive almost three hours to... meet with this surgeon to talk for 20 some minutes when that could have been virtual.
whattimeisit: Right. Yeah.
Chris: And then, side tangent, stupid insurance. So I had my annual physical with my doctor a few weeks ago, because again, I'm a good boy.
whattimeisit: Sure.
whattimeisit: Mm-hmm.
Chris: follow up. And I said, you know, the week before i'd called them and said, Hey, I'm having this surgery done in November. they want me to have a pre-surgery physical. Can we just loop that in? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll just take care of it all.
Chris: They called me back the next day. Well, insurance isn't going to cover it if it's both. So we'll do your annual physical now, and then we'll do your pre-surge appointment on, you know, but actually it's tomorrow.
Chris: was like, okay. She's like, but everything's going to be covered the same. So the only thing we'll just have to do an EKG that Monday. was like, could I do one at work and bring it into you? It's just no.
whattimeisit: Right.
Chris: But it's just seriously, this is. Yeah. So I'm going to go to the doctor tomorrow for half hour.
whattimeisit: Right.
Chris: Maybe.
whattimeisit: Right. To get it totally done.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: And then, you're more december right and because December, you're going to do your work physical in a month.
Chris: Yeah. By somebody who's not a cardiologist.
Chris: Exactly. December 15th is when I get to do that. So, yeah. Yeah. I'll be all physicaled up for the last 35 Golly.
whattimeisit: Yeah, I made them switch my annual physical go to like June, I think.
Chris: hang
whattimeisit: May or June I do it.
Chris: yeah
whattimeisit: So I'm like not doing them all for a month.
Chris: Well, I had mine in like June, but then something happened one year and it got pushed back and then, you know, insurance, well, they won't pay it for exactly a year later. It's gotta be a year and one day.
whattimeisit: Yeah.
Chris: And then that was on a weekend. It just, yeah. ah
whattimeisit: Yeah, i had that conversation with my dentist. Because, you know, to get your cleaned, it's got to six months and a day or something like that. So, eventually, we're just going to flip-flop my schedules because we're just adding a day every year.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: So, if I live long enough, this is going to really screw things up.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: 180 years yeah that reminds me i need to call and make a point where a dentist i was like yeah at my physical they're like oh yeah you still seeing dr caputa i was like who the hell oh that's my dentist yeah
whattimeisit: Yeah. Yeah, see? That's my plan.
whattimeisit: Nice. Yeah, they always give me crap about my hearing. they're like, you're not doing hearing in eye tests? I'm like, no, I have good vision and I have good hearing. I don't need crap.
Chris: well and you do that your city physical
whattimeisit: Yeah, basically.
Chris: Hey, so I took advantage of the city's vision clinic a couple of weeks ago.
whattimeisit: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah. Got every free eye exam. They're like, ah, you've changed a little bit. Do you want new glasses? Like, sure. You know, I do you notice things, some things are a little bit fuzzy further away. Like, okay. That's like, i so I looked at some, you know, frames and everything. They're like, all right. Yeah.
Chris: You'll get an invoice tonight. And these were the cheapest frames I've gotten in. can't remember how long they're only like 130 And she's like, yeah, they'll probably ship in like three to four weeks. Like a week and a half later, I get a package in the mail. My new glasses are here.
Chris: Bada bing, bada boom.
whattimeisit: Yeah, that's nice.
Chris: Yeah. was like, that's convenient.
whattimeisit: I would take a vision, but I have perfect vision, so...
Chris: a Jerk. Eagle eyes, Ron.
whattimeisit: oh ah Eagle Eyes Whismur over here.
Chris: ah
whattimeisit: Yeah, so those are the things I was thinking about mostly about COVID was...
Chris: But um ah grocery delivery.
whattimeisit: I can't do it, man!
Chris: Well, I can for non-fresh stuff.
whattimeisit: i I can't do it. what We were talking about this the other day, because
Chris: Well, I don't do it anyway. My wife takes care of that. Yeah.
whattimeisit: Sure. But go to the grocery store and you see these people pull up in the, what were the spots where they just delivered out to your car.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: I'm like, I can't sit in my car while some poor kid making minimum wage loads my car up. Like I'm some sort of king or ruler going, peasant, put those in the back. Can't do it.
Chris: yeah
whattimeisit: I'm still an able-bodied adult human.
Chris: Yeah, but there's all the people in the store.
whattimeisit: I could just go at 7am on a Saturday. That's what we do.
Chris: It's just people.
whattimeisit: Yeah, there's no people at 7am.
Chris: That's true.
whattimeisit: That's why you go then.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Yeah.
Chris: It's just yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
whattimeisit: I can't sit there and do the grocery delivery thing.
Chris: What about if they deliver it to your house?
whattimeisit: Oh no, I would feel worse.
Chris: Really?
whattimeisit: I don't even really like getting DoorDash.
Chris: Oh, I do and I don't.
whattimeisit: Something about it feels just wrong to me.
Chris: yeah It's like the only food that should be delivered is like Chinese and pizza. Uh.
whattimeisit: Yeah. Yeah.
whattimeisit: Yeah, we got Vietnamese delivered because it's just annoyingly far away. And then I think about it, I'm like, I'm just making this poor door dasher drive the annoying drive that I don't want to drive.
Chris: ah
Chris: uh yeah it's like the next house isn't your neighbors like can we doordash something to your house and just come pick it up
whattimeisit: you know right at the edge of his little DoorDash zone that we're in. He's like, these motherfuckers. Right, yeah.
whattimeisit: Yeah, yeah. That's... I just don't... I get it. And it must be lucrative, because a lot of people do it.
Chris: yeah oh yeah
whattimeisit: So we're creating jobs, which is good. Because we need them. But... An Uber kind of came out, but kind of went away in his back.
whattimeisit: I don't know what's going on with Uber.
Chris: uh
whattimeisit: and don't really use it as much anymore.
Chris: um yeah i was just looking online to see you benefits from the pandemic um improved hygiene awareness i don't think that worked there are definitely people that didn't yeah um i guess a better awareness of mental health for some things
whattimeisit: But that definitely didn't work.
whattimeisit: Yeah. They did not take this look.
whattimeisit: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: I guess. I don't know if that's because of COVID or we're just in an era where mental health has become a thing.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: i think my problem with the mental health conversation is that we we we knew all knew how to deal with this up until like 100 years ago.
Chris: yeah
whattimeisit: And then we stopped dealing with it. And now we're dealing with it the wrong way. I think.
Chris: Um,
whattimeisit: Like...
Chris: guess a little.
whattimeisit: Benefits of...
Chris: see. Greater investment in hospitals. I don't think that's worked.
whattimeisit: No.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah.
whattimeisit: A bunch of hospitals will be closing soon, so...
Chris: Yeah. Um, an aversion to unnecessary travel.
whattimeisit: That's fair.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: That's fair.
Chris: Oh, decrease in the use of paper.
whattimeisit: Oh, that is true. Except the Salisbury Fire Department.
Chris: Well, I mean, you know, 30 years from now, they'll finally catch you on. on
whattimeisit: we still We're still printing out things after we email them to other people.
Chris: I dev side tangent inside baseball. I developed a form for somebody the other day and they said, cool. can we send this off to a printer so it can be made in duplicates?
Chris: I said, why? It's an electronic form. Yeah, but that's why I have a paper copy. ah What are you going do with a paper copy? Well, I'm going to scan it and then save it.
Chris: I just, I looked at the person and I know this is the wrong thing to say as a deputy chief in our organization, and but I just looked at and like,
Chris: I didn't realize you were that much of an idiot and I walked away.
whattimeisit: Wow.
Chris: I'm going to print the thing for you to sign the thing so I can scan the thing to save the thing. Yeah.
whattimeisit: that That's a level of crazy that I don't think I've heard in a long time.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah.
Chris: yeah
whattimeisit: At my station, we write it on a board.
Chris: yeah
whattimeisit: We tag it.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: We send an email about it.
Chris: Yep.
whattimeisit: We print out that email and put it into a binder.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: And then we write it down into a book.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. one i Then I like the follow-up emails like five, six days later or whatever. This has been addressed. Please remove from book.
Chris: Well, that, fingers crossed, that should be changing. The new hub is working. We've done a lot of so you know internal tests with it. And it looks like.
whattimeisit: I appreciate that you guys are so optimistic that they will still be printing it out, and putting it the book, putting on the board, putting it on a tag. It's very optimistic of you.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: All you had to do, and I told this to that chief officer years ago, was create a form. like It would even be an Excel spreadsheet for each piece of apparatus.
Chris: Yep.
whattimeisit: As the thing comes in, you put it on that living spreadsheet, put it on the N drive.
Chris: Yep. ye
whattimeisit: When it gets done, you take it off.
Chris: yeah but we have maniacs that keep things on the n drive like all right no no no i'm talking about when i sent that thing out to the chief officers was like hey have your shifts go through and clean out you know your drive so you know d shift clean out your n drive folder and i got well i mean there's some really important stuff on there i'm like
whattimeisit: Sure, I've got stuff on the N drive.
Chris: I looked at some of the shifts and you have files for people who haven't worked here in 10 years.
whattimeisit: That's fair.
Chris: Yeah. was like, you have saved work orders from 2013. Yeah. yeah But I mean, for reference, i was like, we don't have that vehicle anymore.
Chris: Oh, I, uh, uh,
whattimeisit: I was telling people about that, that there's a captain who works on my shift. not going to say his name.
Chris: yeah.
whattimeisit: Can give any more information than that? Who has never deleted an email in his entire career.
Chris: Oh my gosh.
whattimeisit: And is proud of the fact that if you say x he could say, well, in 2005, there was an email about it that said this.
Chris: yeah
whattimeisit: And you say, that was 20 years ago.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Things have changed. Well, they never sent a follow-up email.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: yeah yeah Is that person signed up for the outlook email training on Wednesday?
whattimeisit: but I just turned out one.
Chris: Because I hope so, and I hope they say that and the instructor just, their mind explodes.
whattimeisit: Right.
Chris: Golly day.
whattimeisit: the He brought up, that person brought up an AC note thing.
Chris: ah
whattimeisit: He's like, this happened, I remember this meeting, and I'm like, no one else does. He's
Chris: It was an unseasonably cool May afternoon.
whattimeisit: like, like i have I have the email of the AC notes.
Chris: i mean
whattimeisit: I'm like, why?
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: I throw those things away as soon as they send them out.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: I read them once, I print them out for everybody to look at, and then and we throw them away.
Chris: Hmm.
Chris: Why do you print them out?
whattimeisit: What? Oh, because if you don't, they'll never look at him.
Chris: ah
whattimeisit: I know. Look. I'm trying to make sure they read the notes.
Chris: I know you're trying to reach the masses. Yeah, but there's one that you have to read to him.
whattimeisit: I... Well, Grandpa needs to be read to so he can go to bed. Put his little pills out. He takes them.
Chris: ah
whattimeisit: He eats his applesauce. And I read the notes to him.
Chris: And on B-Shift, they had.
whattimeisit: And on B-Shift, they had one more person become a Phaedo brush truck.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Cool.
Chris: ah
whattimeisit: Something worth AC notes for her.
Chris: Oh my gosh. Well, that's like, I mean, yeah. Behind the scenes, you know, we put that stuff together beforehand and it's when it's first sent out to everybody in that group, it's things in green. We'll talk about three things in black or just, yeah. Yeah. Just so people know.
Chris: And certain people still try to talk about the things that in black. And Obarski was like, and no, no, no. That was just in there for ideas or, you know, so you have an awareness. We're talking about the green things and that's it. This is our agenda.
Chris: But what do you mean? No, this is our agenda.
whattimeisit: Because you guys have a wandering meeting for like four hours once a week. What is going on?
Chris: Well, now it's once a month, two hours.
whattimeisit: Oh, good.
Chris: Yes.
whattimeisit: Seems reasonable.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: you know In a world of instant communication, like if you guys wanted to discuss something, I'm sure you could ah have a have a group meeting.
Chris: Yep.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. Yep.
whattimeisit: You could all have a Zoom meeting.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: You don't even have to be together.
Chris: Yeah. There is information that needs to be sent out. I got a, it's called a text massage at 7 a.m.
whattimeisit: oh oh how does that work
Chris: m this morning. Yeah. Yeah.
Chris: Animals.
whattimeisit: animals that that's why things don't change because those people still exist it's crazy and those people train other people to be crazy
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: I guess so.
Chris: should spray them with a water bottle. Yes. That's, that's the thing. It, yeah. It's that trained insanity that.
whattimeisit: If we could keep your crazy just to you, and then when you leave, the crazy's gone, that's fine.
Chris: Ooh, yeah.
whattimeisit: But that's not how it works. Your crazy spreads.
Chris: How do we, God. Yeah. God, that's a Ted talk. How to keep the crazy to you. Yeah.
whattimeisit: Yeah.
Chris: Hmm.
whattimeisit: Yeah. Try to make sure the crazy dies with your career.
Chris: yeah
whattimeisit: Because...
whattimeisit: And my favorite of it, my favorite example, I hate how this officer acts. I become an officer. I'm never going to do that.
Chris: Oh my.
whattimeisit: Then they become exactly that officer do exactly the same things that they said they hated.
Chris: Yes.
Chris: Even a little bit more.
whattimeisit: Sometimes, yeah.
Chris: Yeah. yeah
whattimeisit: It's crazy. You spent years bitching about what this person does and then you do exactly what they said did.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Officer that might rhyme with Frogger.
whattimeisit: What happened? Might do.
Chris: ah
whattimeisit: exact idioms that he did.
Chris: Yes. ah Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
whattimeisit: I have to sit there and go, should I say this thing? Because does it make me sound like the asshole that I hate? No? Okay, check. I can move on to this.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah.
whattimeisit: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: ah
whattimeisit: Well, that's our benefits of Kobe, guys. Here's what to say Let kids enjoy Halloween.
Chris: Yes.
whattimeisit: No trunk or treats, you jerks.
Chris: Wait.
whattimeisit: You can have a trunk or treat as an additional Halloween event.
Chris: Yeah. Additional. Yeah. Yeah. Not. Yeah. In replacement of.
whattimeisit: Yeah. Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: And then we're going to go to topic two because I'm excited for this.
Chris: All right.
whattimeisit: I had homework.
Chris: Yeah, yeah, I gave you for Ron homework for this. So topic two, i yeah saw a different podcast did something similar. They did 10 video games to get to know me. So I said, how about you know five to 10 pieces of media to get to know you?
Chris: So I waited on a couple of days to work on this.
whattimeisit: Wait. Is it just me are we doing both of us?
Chris: and oh no, both of us. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
whattimeisit: I don't want to just be me.
Chris: and No, no, no. I've got a list.
whattimeisit: Okay, good.
Chris: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
whattimeisit: I have to start before you start. How many of yours are books? How yours are movies?
Chris: Oh,
Chris: one, two. I've got three books. One, yeah, I'm like three, three, and four for like books, movies, games.
whattimeisit: Wow.
whattimeisit: Huh.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: I'm like all books.
Chris: But I honestly figured that's how it would be.
whattimeisit: Okay.
Chris: Yeah. Yep.
whattimeisit: I think I'm gonna blow your mind with one of them because I think they're thinking I'm gonna say one thing I'm gonna say something different.
Chris: No, that's not sad.
Chris: yeah and okay sure yeah let's start you can start yeah okay
whattimeisit: Yeah, yeah.
whattimeisit: Ready to start?
whattimeisit: I'll go first. Kurt Vonnegut's The Cat's Cradle. This book is always, um i say always, I probably read it when I was in high school and it changed, it's it literally changed my life and how I approach things.
Chris: okay
Chris: Okay.
whattimeisit: um And has always been a book that I go back to and read.
whattimeisit: probably once every three years and would define a lot of my views on spirituality and religion.
Chris: o
whattimeisit: So that's my number one. Read this book.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: And it's it's not a long book, right? So it's, you know, easy read.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Okay. Yeah. And it also spurred a... ah Hot song.
whattimeisit: don't know which came out first. I'm assuming the book.
Chris: Probably the book.
whattimeisit: I'm assuming.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Yeah.
Chris: All right. So my first one. And if you want me to weed it down, I can. But I said, yeah.
whattimeisit: have to. No. Don't wait down. The 1990s Batman anime
Chris: yeah No, no. Batman, the animated series.
whattimeisit: series. nineteen ninety s batman era yeah i
Chris: Yes, the animated We watched it on Fox in the afternoons. That is, in my opinion, probably the best representation of Batman.
Chris: It was the most formative Batman for many of us. ah Just, yeah, it really, because you got to see the duality. You got to see the Bruce side of it. You got to see the yeah how screwed up Bruce can be at times. It was just really, it was, in my opinion, the best representation. and Yeah, Batman's been one of my favorite comic characters for years and
whattimeisit: I mean, it's a pretty good answer for a man who has Batman everything.
Chris: yeah.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah.
whattimeisit: It is.
whattimeisit: It's maybe not the best Batman. It's the most breadth of Batman to me.
Chris: Yeah. Okay.
whattimeisit: To me, because of my age, the Michael Keaton Batman.
whattimeisit: I know.
Chris: I liked the Keaton, but it just wasn't. Yeah. Didn't hook me.
whattimeisit: But it was really my first. I had seen Adam West Batman. I wasn't a DC Comics kid, so I didn't read Batman.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah.
whattimeisit: So Michael Keaton was the first Batman fan.
Chris: Yeah. I can get that.
whattimeisit: But I appreciate the Kevin Conroy Batman.
Chris: Mm-hmm.
whattimeisit: So I'm all about it. I'm to pick another book, shockingly.
Chris: OK. Yeah?
whattimeisit: ah And i I don't know going to pick the whole series. I think I'm just going the first one.
Chris: OK.
whattimeisit: which is Frank Herbert's Dune.
Chris: Oh, that's what, six novels, seven novels?
whattimeisit: and has
whattimeisit: He died writing the seventh one, I think.
Chris: OK. Yeah.
whattimeisit: His son kind of took up the mantle years and years later.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: It's a tough toss-up for me um between Dude and Asimov.
Chris: OK.
whattimeisit: But my love of that kind of futurism and sci-fi stems from those two books. I had to choose one. And think if I was to choose one, love Dune a little bit more.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: And just that has shaped whenever I'm take a break from reading history, hardcore, deep history books, I go back to sci-fi more than fantasy, I would say.
Chris: h
whattimeisit: But a fantasy book will be on this list.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah. Dune's a good pull.
whattimeisit: like it's like It's a great book. It's a hard read.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah.
whattimeisit: But I think that's...
Chris: Isn't a isn't dune like, 500 pages or something.
whattimeisit: Let me see.
whattimeisit: have to go through and find my copy of Dune. There it is. In my Dune section of my library.
whattimeisit: It's short of 500.
Chris: and Okay.
whattimeisit: Well, it's like 474.
Chris: Okay.
whattimeisit: So, you know, it's...
Chris: hu
whattimeisit: But I love that that that style of futuristic sci-fi.
Chris: yeah
whattimeisit: Not just robots in space, but actually like politics and what things could look like.
Chris: yeah i mean that's a huge yeah that's a huge part the dune ethos cool all right uh my number two is a game destiny yeah yeah destiny is the first like really guess it's an mo
whattimeisit: Yeah. Yeah.
whattimeisit: Yep. Yep.
whattimeisit: Okay.
whattimeisit: Makes total sense for you.
whattimeisit: so silly.
Chris: not really RPG. It's an m MO shooter.
whattimeisit: Yeah, it's...
Chris: and memo i don't know.
whattimeisit: almost its own thing because it's not like you're interacting with a lot of people unless you want like yeah yeah it's its own destiny is its own thing
Chris: But
Chris: unless you want to. Yeah.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. but I mean, the the story of Destiny, the characters, I mean, because of Destiny, I joined clan.
Chris: And i still discord message with five of them regularly to this day from you like first play destiny seven eight years ago now and i mean that you really for us still even though it's a dying game i still hop on every now and again knock some stuff out yeah it's just been one of those everlasting gobstoppers of i wish there were books i really wish there were books there's fanfic
whattimeisit: Yeah.
Chris: But there's not like, and I mean, I've got like their grimoires, but like not an actual novelization of destiny.
whattimeisit: Right.
whattimeisit: Feels like it should have been...
Chris: Bungie, if you want me to do that, say the word.
whattimeisit: Should have read graphic novels, at the very least.
Chris: There are actually some, but there's ah there's only like two or three.
whattimeisit: Oh, okay.
Chris: There's not. Yeah. Yeah. So, but yeah.
whattimeisit: I'm going to go back to a book.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: ah Shockingly. I do have book that's on this list.
Chris: Yep. Okay.
whattimeisit: I'm going to go back to a book. Shockingly. And this book, to me...
whattimeisit: It just sets my comedic tone life.
Chris: OK.
whattimeisit: And that is Douglas Adams, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Chris: Oh.
whattimeisit: um it's just such a classic dry british humor i really grew up and loved that that style of humor and it came from that book i read it well i was way too early when i read it didn't understand it really and
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Mm hmm. Mm
Chris: hmm. Yeah.
Chris: Got to have a towel.
whattimeisit: Got out of town. probably the first time I ever dressed up in costume as an adult when I had choice of what I could dress up as, I dressed up as Arthur from Hitchhiker's to the Galaxy.
whattimeisit: you know, for Halloween.
Chris: Okay. Yeah.
whattimeisit: yeah
Chris: I've never read the book. I've seen the movie.
whattimeisit: Oh, don't read that. Oh, God. movies are bad.
whattimeisit: The movies are bad.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Yeah.
Chris: Wait, are there more than one?
whattimeisit: Oh, there's been... At least two chances it tries to make the movie I can think of.
Chris: Okay.
whattimeisit: Not good. Yeah.
Chris: Hmm. Hmm.
whattimeisit: Read the
Chris: yeah Oh, okay. ah My third one is a book. um It's Spellfire by ed Greenwood.
Chris: That was literally the first D&D novel I ever read. Way back in like middle school or something. And I was like, this is a neat world. And this, I want to learn more about this.
whattimeisit: but
Chris: And that's what got me into the Forgotten Realms.
whattimeisit: You're chomping my thunder, but mine's different.
Chris: OK. All right.
whattimeisit: Because my fourth one is Dragonlance.
Chris: Oh, nice.
whattimeisit: Because that was the first D&D series I read was the Dragonlance books.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: OK.
whattimeisit: I freaking loved them.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah.
whattimeisit: Yep.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Loved those books. So, yeah.
Chris: Yeah,
whattimeisit: That was my first introduction. Oh, I was probably... was in middle school as well when this came out. So, yeah.
Chris: that's.
whattimeisit: But yeah, D&D books. I mean,
Chris: yeah that'
whattimeisit: great world of writing. It was such a... a um like i i just I knew what D&D was. I was lucky my dad and mom were kind of nerds, so I knew what D&D was.
whattimeisit: But those books, like all of them, were like, oh, you can make stories out of this.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: you know, which was so cool to me.
Chris: Yeah. yeah Yeah. yeah And it was yeah just that world building and seeing that it was totally fleshed out. It wasn't just ah Oh yeah, there's a place. And it's like, no, there's people and interactions. And yeah, it's an almost living environment.
whattimeisit: Yeah, I agree.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Well, I just went to four, so it's your four.
Chris: Okay. um So my four is... i was going to say Star Wars just in general, but that's just too big.
Chris: um Honestly, I mean, that... A New Hope was, you know, of course, the first one I saw and everything. But I think Jedi was the one that really hooked me, hooked me.
whattimeisit: Really? Jedi?
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
whattimeisit: I'm an Empire man myself.
Chris: ah yeah Yeah, I know that.
whattimeisit: Ooh.
Chris: Yeah. I mean, I liked Empire, but don't know. Jedi... it was the growth of Luke, and now he's like a badass.
Chris: And... can kind of do things, even though he kind of knows. He doesn't know exactly what he's doing, but he's standing up for what he thinks is right.
Chris: And you get to see the ultimate conclusion of what the rebellion has been trying to do for all these years. And yeah.
whattimeisit: It is the movie that gives you hope.
Chris: Yeah. Unfortunately, that hope was squandered. But yeah.
whattimeisit: It's not if you don't think about it.
Chris: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we got to see a green lightsaber. That was cool.
whattimeisit: It's true.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Did introduce us in the world of there are mother, different mother, mother, other colors. Yeah.
Chris: Yeah, yeah. Other colors. um Neat space fights, dog fights and all. So yeah. Yeah.
whattimeisit: I really struggled with my fifth choice because obviously I love history and it's hard to pick.
Chris: OK.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: like It's hard for me to remember what book got me into history.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: And this is kind of, it's not it's not a book.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: It's not quite what happened correctly, but I'm picking the movie 1776.
Chris: OK.
whattimeisit: um When I was in middle school, saw that movie, and then my eighth grade teacher, U.S.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: history teacher, he made us like... recreate the constitutional convention in class and brought history to life for me in a way that i never had before and that movie always makes me think of that event so it's not a history book i understand that it's not a historically accurate movie but it is a something that sparked my love of history for some
Chris: yeah
whattimeisit: Good or bad, it's caused my life to be full of history books.
whattimeisit: Because it's...
Chris: Well, mean, histories. i mean, it's it's literally where we've come from. It's learning from past mistakes. It's seeing some of the repetitions that have happened year after year. And yeah.
whattimeisit: Yeah, it's just... My... my prachant for reading history books as ah as my first choice like i i really basically read three genres of books history and it's not defined by one era of history fantasy and sci-fi it's about it um i find all other books to be a waste of my time
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Chris: Well, my number five is another novel, Jurassic Park.
whattimeisit: Oh, such a good pick.
Chris: i And
whattimeisit: Oh, I didn't even think of it. The book was so amazing.
Chris: the book was amazing. So much better than the movie, folks. Please read the book.
whattimeisit: Oh, man.
Chris: um I was I mean, I think we were every kid from our generation was a dinosaur kid at one point.
whattimeisit: Oh,
whattimeisit: yeah. Oh, yeah. We were...
Chris: And i mean, Jurassic park just cemented it. I mean, that was what at the time i was like, I'm going to go be a paleontologist when I, you know, go to college and all that. My wife comes in and shaking her head at me because yeah.
Chris: Um, Yeah, she's saying not every kid because she didn't like dinosaurs. Something wrong with her.
whattimeisit: It's just a Western Shore person.
Chris: ah
whattimeisit: We don't have opinions.
Chris: Yeah. But I mean, just Jurassic Park was just, yeah.
whattimeisit: this That was amazing book. That book...
Chris: but it thats It blended the science and just the fascination of the big giant animals. Yeah. Yeah, in 93, I think.
whattimeisit: So the movie came out, of what, 93, 92? Yeah, the book came out. I remember i reading the book probably the year before that.
Chris: Yeah. yeah
whattimeisit: Which was like amazing for like timing for me that I like finished the book and I was like, oh, there's this movie out now.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: my God. That book is i such a great pick. I'm so annoyed that I didn't put it on my list.
Chris: I read that book in three days.
whattimeisit: Wow, I don't think I read it that fast, but yeah.
Chris: Yeah. ah Three days. Yep.
whattimeisit: that That is such an amazing pick.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: I'm going to pick the only horror book... that I still read and that is Stephen King's The Stand.
Chris: OK.
whattimeisit: I had a love affair with Stephen King books for a long time and for some reason just kind of fell out of it. I don't really have a good excuse or why but I just said like I said now now I only read history fantasy or Levi but when I was a kid Stephen King The Stand and that is a big book to read when you're in
Chris: Yeah. Too spooky for me.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah.
whattimeisit: Because I had read The Talisman first, which was also a giant, massive book. but I was probably seventh grade when read The Stand.
Chris: Okay.
whattimeisit: Yeah, that's a big book. It's great.
Chris: Yeah. It's a, let's see. Oh my gosh. The complete uncut edition of Stephen King's, the stand is 1,152 pages.
whattimeisit: Yeah, I would have said a thousand pages. It's a big book.
Chris: oh Wow.
whattimeisit: Yeah, yeah.
Chris: Yeah. I mean, that's more than some trilogies. Um,
whattimeisit: Yeah, yeah.
Chris: um My next one is another game. Final Fantasy IV.
whattimeisit: You and your final thing. What's one for?
Chris: For... that Well, for us, it was Final Fantasy II.
Chris: Yeah, I know it's confusing. In Japan, it was the fourth for US.
whattimeisit: is too hard for me.
Chris: They called it the second one. It was the second one released in the US. But that was like... I think that was the... Well, other than like playing stuff on the computer and all. But that was the first. and I mean, Dragon Quest on the ne or Dragon Warrior on the Nintendo.
Chris: But I picked up Final Fantasy IV as a rental. I was like, there's this just plain red cover. that there's The T is a sword. This looks neat. And then, yeah, it just the world building, the class system and all. i was like, this is this is fun.
Chris: And ever since I've been a Final Fantasy fan.
whattimeisit: I it's a good pull. i I did realize I have to put a movie on this that if I didn't put it, it would disingenuous to me.
Chris: OK. OK.
whattimeisit: This movie is 50 years old.
Chris: okay So in 75.
whattimeisit: Right? Is it 50 years old?
Chris: Yeah. Bubba.
whattimeisit: I believe it's 50 years old. I believe it's just now. so Yeah, I think it was been 75. This movie is the scariest movie that's ever been made. No movie has ever had an effect on my life like this movie did.
Chris: yeah
whattimeisit: I watched this movie when I was way too young. And I'm still obsessively watching it.
Chris: ah but
whattimeisit: And this movie is, of course, the greatest horror movie of all time. Jaws.
Chris: Yep. Yeah.
whattimeisit: No movie has had an effect on my life like Jaws.
Chris: Yeah. I'm going to need a bigger boat.
whattimeisit: We're going need a bigger boat or stay the fuck of the water.
Chris: ah Yeah. Yeah.
Chris: What were they? Yeah. who Who wrote Jaws?
whattimeisit: Is it Bletchley?
Chris: Yeah. don't know.
whattimeisit: David Bletchley?
Chris: I want to know what trauma happened to him to cause.
whattimeisit: I'd have to go upstairs. I have my copy of the book.
Chris: Hmm.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: The book's... kind of better than the movie but the movie is so amazing that's yeah yeah yeah
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah. It's a great movie.
Chris: Yeah. yeah Yeah. It looks hokey at some points and everything, but it's kind of holds up.
whattimeisit: oh yeah there guys you're invited being invaded no it's practical effects practical effects just pulled up and because it's shot the way it shot it holds up better if that makes sense
Chris: Oh God. There's danger.
Chris: Oh, totally.
whattimeisit: Oh, she's going crazy.
Chris: ah Yeah, somebody walked in the neighborhood. Imagine that.
whattimeisit: Oh, man.
Chris: Yeah, it's also a good pull. um All right. My next one is.
Chris: Calvin and Hobbes by Watterson.
Chris: that
whattimeisit: so much better at this than I am.
Chris: I. What just part of it is I looked at like my bookshelf and was like, you know what? What books are on my shelf and then, you know, what stuff is worn and things like that. I mean, i have read and reread Calvin and Hobbes so many times over the years. I mean, it's just such a great series. Yeah.
Chris: If I had had a son, my wife hates this. It would have been Calvin.
whattimeisit: His brother was named Hobbes.
Chris: But.
Chris: But yeah, it's just. Yeah. ah The humor in it, the relatability, you know, it's just, I've always liked Calvin and Hobbes.
whattimeisit: It was perfect time for when we were kids.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: It was perfect.
Chris: Yep. Yeah.
whattimeisit: So I'm going to pick a fantasy book that is to be the one you're thinking of.
Chris: Okay.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: This is the one I think you think I'm going to say Lord of the Rings because it's probably the fantasy book I read the most.
Chris: Okay. Yeah.
whattimeisit: But the fantasy book that started it all, really, for me, was the Xenet series by Piers Anthony.
Chris: Mm-hmm.
Chris: the Xanath series.
whattimeisit: Yes, when I was very young, my mother bought these books for me.
Chris: Okay. Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: And it was just kind of a tradition when I was a kid. I read... I'm sure i stopped at some point and the series continued, but I read those books obsessively as a kid from, I don't know.
Chris: yeah
whattimeisit: I want to say I was eight years old when I read the first one. That can't be right, but I could be right because I was a book reading nerd really young. So um that book series, like of the Rings,
whattimeisit: My love for that came later in life. Xanath was the early. It was more kid-friendly. More for me.
Chris: Well, I mean, the movie really cemented cemented it for you. Yeah.
whattimeisit: I'm really surprised they never made a Piers Anthony movie about Xanath. It's weird.
Chris: yeah
whattimeisit: I don't think it's as popular as I think it is in my head because I read it.
Chris: I mean, it's pretty popular. Oh my God.
whattimeisit: Yeah.
Chris: There's 48 books.
whattimeisit: Yeah, there's a ton of them.
Chris: Geez.
whattimeisit: He was like one of these Stephen King guys who was putting out like three books a year at one point.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: like
Chris: Wow. Yeah.
whattimeisit: Yeah.
Chris: That's a, That's impressive.
whattimeisit: Yeah.
Chris: um
whattimeisit: What number we at? Seven?
Chris: ah No, eight, right?
whattimeisit: Eight? Oh.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Oh, boy.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. um I think, yeah, math. Yeah, math eight. hu um Yeah, so my eight, um I tried to think of a good embodiment, and I almost went with a movie, but I went with one the newer animated versions. And there's, think it's on it's probably on Disney Plus, but the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
Chris: It's like a newer telling of Pete's first couple of years and everything. I think it just, I've always loved Spider-Man. It was the nerdy kid who got some powers, but still stayed the down to earth nerdy kid. And yeah, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man definitely gets that.
whattimeisit: I have a comic book as well.
Chris: Oh.
whattimeisit: And it's a comic book that I loved as a kid because of... I'm really thinking of this as the stuff that shaped me as a person.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Not so much me as the now, but how it led to that.
Chris: OK. Yeah. yeah Yeah, that's a good poll.
whattimeisit: And that's Captain America. and I'm talking like the 80s comic books, Captain America, Solo. um Something about Captain America...
Chris: yeah
whattimeisit: appeal to my dumb brain that is willing to do a stupid job like be a firefighter for his whole life yeah it really is it's just yeah he is the boy scout
Chris: That's the continuation of the Boy Scout.
Chris: Yeah, i mean, he's, yeah, Cap.
whattimeisit: which is why i don't like some of the newer stuff where they mess with him being a boy scout
Chris: Yeah, yeah, yeah. When you boil it down, Cap is, he's not just the super soldier, but he's just a super person.
whattimeisit: mm-hmm yep yep and now i gotta like really think about my 10 because your your list is better than mine it's more annoying it is you said that that was eight or was that eight or that we were going okay so i got two more all right because there's two three things i gotta put on this list i haven't done and no no it's 10.
Chris: Yeah, yeah.
Chris: no No, no, no, it's not. We've got two more, right?
Chris: That was eight. Yeah, we've got nine and that's fine. You can have bonus. That's fine.
Chris: So my number nine is the Kale series by Paul Kemp. It started out as just like this a novella in a series in the forgotten realms and then he built off the character he did a trilogy and then a follow-up trilogy and he so should do a third trilogy and stupid wizards of the coast cut it and made him jam it into one crappy novel that he still rants about to this day but it was just i a lot of the characters aren't great people but they try to be better people than what they are and i think it's just a really good
Chris: representation of just they are dealt a really shitty hand and they're trying to do the best they can with it and at the end of the day are they a great person no but did they do a lot of good stuff yes i just think it's yeah and i mean to this day it's social media but i'm quote unquote facebook friends with the author and i've had discourse back and forth with him it's just pretty neat yeah
whattimeisit: ah That's pretty awesome. That's pretty awesome.
whattimeisit: I have to pick a video game because I feel like it'd be crazy for me not to pick a video game.
Chris: yeah
whattimeisit: And it is tough.
whattimeisit: Like... My number... the The answer that pops in my head and keeps coming back to my head... It's also a Bungie game, which makes it kind of crazy.
Chris: yeah yeah that's what i figured you're gonna say
whattimeisit: I have to pick... Halo Combat Evolved.
whattimeisit: No game... Up to... That game... That was the first time, like... my friends and I would put Xboxes together in in a house and play at Halo. We would get together. We made it a thing to play Halo.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: And you know we played StarCraft together. We played other games, but there was just something. And like Halo reached out to groups of friends who I had my nerdy computer friends and then I had my jock friends and we all played Halo.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah.
whattimeisit: um
Chris: I mean, it was, yeah.
whattimeisit: It was such a phenomenon.
Chris: I, yeah, unfortunately I missed out on Halo since I was, uh, I've been a Sony guy from day one, but now they're re-releasing it.
whattimeisit: PlayStation 3.
whattimeisit: I heard that.
Chris: Yeah. So I will finally get to play Halo.
whattimeisit: It's going to feel so bad to you because it's so old.
Chris: it's special it's I think it's in Unreal 4 or 5 or whatever, so it should be easy to play.
whattimeisit: Yeah.
Chris: But...
whattimeisit: It's just that game changed everything for gaming for me.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: It's got to be Kalo.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah, yeah see, I was torn on my number 10. um I was going to say one of the games that came before it in the series, but ah I had to go with Baldur's Gate 3.
whattimeisit: Such a good answer.
Chris: Because it wraps up. yeah It's the video game. It's the D&D. It's the ah novel backstory part of it. But it's so approachable. And it's just.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: So well done.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: So well done.
Chris: yeah Yeah. It's, you know, chef's kiss. Amazing.
whattimeisit: It's... Baldur's Gate 3... To me is right now that things can change, but it is the ultimate of that genre of games.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: I've not enjoyed an RPG of any type as much as I enjoyed World's Gate 3.
Chris: Yeah. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, to the point, and you can tell that it's so, don't know, out there that Wizards of the Coast, but theyre I saw something other day, they've got like a new, like, you know, they're reintroducing the Forgotten Realms in D&D.
whattimeisit: And it's...
Chris: And CarLac is on the front cover.
whattimeisit: That's nice.
Chris: Yeah, i mean, it's pretty amazing.
whattimeisit: Yeah. Yeah, that's such a good pick.
whattimeisit: We're at the 10th.
Chris: This is it.
whattimeisit: The final pick.
Chris: Yeah, this is number 10. Yeah.
whattimeisit: The last hurrah.
Chris: yeah
whattimeisit: If you were to get to know me, if you wanted to come up to me and have something to talk about, hmm.
whattimeisit: I think you'd have to...
Chris: It would clearly be the Reese Witherspoon classic.
whattimeisit: Well, I wanted to say a history book.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: And I think it's got to be Band of Brothers.
Chris: oh that is such a good pull.
whattimeisit: Stephen Ambrose.
whattimeisit: it's It's a very approachable history book.
Chris: yeah
whattimeisit: Yes, there are some issues with... his version of things but they're not wrong it's just a version um but that book and the series that it spawned of course is amazing but uh that book is such a good starter place for someone to read yeah gotta go with banner brothers it's probably and as i'm looking at it in my shelf right now it's got a lot of bends and breaks in the spine so
Chris: Yeah. Right. Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah. Wow.
Chris: Yeah. That's a good indication.
whattimeisit: Yep.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. Look, now people get to know us.
whattimeisit: Yeah. Yeah. Well, you sold me a 10. I thought
Chris: I thought Boulder's Gate was my 10th.
whattimeisit: it was your knife.
Chris: Did I admit that was my knife?
whattimeisit: thought.
Chris: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
whattimeisit: OK.
Chris: Yeah, I've got ten.
whattimeisit: All right.
Chris: Oh, it's because number four muddled together between the two.
whattimeisit: That's fair.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: That's fair.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: Yes, but now you get to know us and go read all those books I suggested.
Chris: was about to say. Yeah. Yes.
whattimeisit: i almost put Time Bandits on that list.
Chris: Yes.
whattimeisit: I love that movie. almost put Monty Python Holy Grail.
Chris: Yeah.
Chris: Yeah.

Chris: Yeah. Yeah, I know.
Chris: I know.
whattimeisit: It's not being convicted of anything. That's all I can say.
Chris: Yeah.
whattimeisit: I almost put Wheel Time on there.
Chris: Yeah, that's a.
whattimeisit: such an amazing Such an amazing series. It starts well, has a shitty middle, and ends okay.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. I almost put Deadpool and Wolverine.
whattimeisit: Game of Thrones.
whattimeisit: Yeah. Yeah.
Chris: Yeah. ah I started to put like some music on there, and I was like, no, this is just.
whattimeisit: Music doesn't define me.
Chris: No. Oh, yeah.
whattimeisit: There's people that, and it's totally fine that it does, but it's just not me.
Chris: Yeah. yeah Yeah, I like listening to music and stuff, but it's not just the, yeah. Yeah, if somebody gets to know me, I mean, yeah.
whattimeisit: Yeah.
Chris: It's not like I got a bunch of vinyls in my office. I've got a bunch of comic book stuff, and yeah.
