Chris
 Welcome back to another episode of Mythic Giraffe Podcast. I'm Chris.
00:00:11
stupidgoogle
 And I'm Ron, who's looking to find the person who programs the lights on Route 4 between Newark, Delaware and Christiana, Delaware. And I will break open your skull and eat your brains in front of your family.
00:00:26
Chris
 um Or did you catch like every red light or something?
00:00:30
stupidgoogle
 So between my house and Route 7, there are probably 12 lights. It got so bad that the one light we didn't catch, The one date that we didn't stop for, we were celebrating.
Road Rage Anecdotes
00:00:47
stupidgoogle
 And of course, every asshole from out of state is doing... This is this road is a 50 mile an hour zone. It's 50 miles an hour, of people. The whole way through.
00:00:54
stupidgoogle
 never It never changes. It's 50 the whole time. These two assholes from Jersey pacing themselves. 35 miles an hour.
00:01:03
Chris
 what animals rightfully so no yeah yeah woman get the harpoon gun hmm
00:01:03
stupidgoogle
 One in each lane. The whole fucking way. Fucking raging... My wife is just like, calm down. I'm like, no. This is how I don't kill people.
00:01:14
stupidgoogle
 I get my rage out now. Because if you hold it... ah Oh. If I had the hard-pun gun, it would have been bad for people.
00:01:24
stupidgoogle
 Because I probably would have shot it through their windshield. I was so angry.
00:01:33
stupidgoogle
 It's a three-mile drive. You can't get mad in a three-mile drive. like I was going to have an aneurysm.
00:01:41
Chris
 You could feel the aneurysm.
00:01:41
stupidgoogle
 I was yelling. When we passed Christiana Hospital, I said, I might have an aneurysm, and I guess it's good that we're right in front of the trauma center because we're going to survive the crash and I'm going to have an aneurysm.
00:01:51
stupidgoogle
 And I was telling my wife, if I have the aneurysm, hit the little cruise control button so the car will stop us on its own.
Pet Peeves at the Gym and Fire Department
00:02:06
stupidgoogle
 It was rough.
00:02:08
stupidgoogle
 And I've got another rant. This rant is from earlier this week.
00:02:14
stupidgoogle
 And it has plagued my professional career. I've been a firefighter in the Salisbury Fire Department for 20 plus years. Almost 21 years at this point.
00:02:23
stupidgoogle
 And it is terrible at work. And then I happened to be in my civilian life and I saw it and I wanted to to strangle someone.
00:02:33
stupidgoogle
 This animal. This... absolute animal of a person was opening and closing opening the door and he's holding it for me at the gym with his hands on the glass.
00:02:48
stupidgoogle
 There's a fucking handle three inches from your hand.
00:02:51
stupidgoogle
 Put your hand on the goddamn handle.
00:02:55
stupidgoogle
 Why do you monkeys have to put your paws all over the goddamn glass? You smudge it up and you leave your marks everywhere. I don't know what world you people learn to open doors.
00:03:06
stupidgoogle
 But put your hands on the metal, not the glass. The glass is there to look pretty. It doesn't look pretty when it looks like I can see your dick beaters all over it.
00:03:18
Chris
 For those of you listening at home, don't know dick beaters are hands.
00:03:22
stupidgoogle
 If you walk into a Salisbury Fire Department fire station, you can tell that these animals put their hands on the glass
00:03:32
stupidgoogle
 to open the doors all the time is it a push door yes and that's why we have this metal pad for you to push against instead slap your hands on it
00:03:44
Chris
 We'll just look at all around the door handles. Also, oh,
00:03:48
stupidgoogle
 yeah there's a what do you people do it's a handle use the door handle It's insane. It is literally insane. I don't understand why.
00:03:59
stupidgoogle
 Does does the glass tactile feel better for you? What's going on? Do you guys get some sort of weird sexual kink about putting your hand on glass?
00:04:11
stupidgoogle
 It's so weird. The guy was, I swear, his hand couldn't have been two inches from the damn bar when he's just got his smushy hands all over the damn and I just feel bad for the guy who's gonna come in there and clean the glass
Seat Ownership and Gym Architecture
00:04:24
stupidgoogle
 because he's like I just cleaned this glass five times this day and that's there's just fucking palm sweat and grease all over it
00:04:33
Chris
 Now, did you go to the other door instead of taking that door from him?
00:04:37
stupidgoogle
 I should have so no sir no no until you learn to open a door correctly I'm not doing that insanity insanity
00:04:47
Chris
 Yeah. Yeah. I mean...
00:04:53
Chris
 He was attempting to do the right thing and hold the door for somebody. However, he was being a moron about it.
00:04:59
stupidgoogle
 Yeah, I know.
00:05:02
stupidgoogle
 so how do you How do you sleep at night, sir?
00:05:10
stupidgoogle
 i i just don't understand it. i don't and and it said Station one is really bad. That door between the radio room and the engine bay. It's just... Can't handprints all over the glass.
00:05:24
stupidgoogle
 I don't know. You actually have to lift your hand up higher.
00:05:28
stupidgoogle
 put it all over the glass than you would to put it on the and handle.
00:05:34
stupidgoogle
 Do just guys do you like when you go to shave and and in your house you just put your hand all over the mirror and just smear it all over the place.
00:05:42
stupidgoogle
 oh Oh people.
00:05:46
stupidgoogle
 Back to your shanties.
00:05:51
Chris
 yeah i yeah no Yeah.
00:05:52
stupidgoogle
 That one has been bubbling up for a week. I'm sorry. It's all at once.
00:05:56
Chris
 Yeah, no, i'm I'm glad it came out. Yeah.
00:05:58
stupidgoogle
 It was so... I just was like... I literally had to stop for a second and go... What? Why?
00:06:06
stupidgoogle
 Why would you do that?
00:06:09
stupidgoogle
 Think of the poor bastard that's to clean the glass next time, kids.
Fire Department and EMS Challenges
00:06:15
stupidgoogle
 and Also, my gym is dumb. This is... So you walk up. It's a double door.
00:06:22
stupidgoogle
 So there's one door that's automatic. And then the next door you have to hold. Why would you do that? Just do one or the other.
00:06:31
stupidgoogle
 Don't do both.
00:06:32
Chris
 Yeah, that doesn't make any sense.
00:06:32
stupidgoogle
 Also, and it's the gym. We're there to work out. Make us open the doors.
00:06:37
stupidgoogle
 Don't open it. Don't have automatic doors. That seems like a waste.
00:06:40
Chris
 Well, what if somebody's in a wheelchair?
00:06:42
stupidgoogle
 They're there to work out. They're there to work out your arm. Put weights on the doors, actually.
00:06:47
Chris
 Make it harder for you to open them.
00:06:48
stupidgoogle
 Make it harder to pull open.
00:06:52
stupidgoogle
 That's why we're there.
00:06:56
Chris
 There should be an incline to go in.
00:06:58
stupidgoogle
 Yeah. The fire marshal comes in and like, this door is like a 700-pound pole. He's like, yeah, man. You get swole.
00:07:12
stupidgoogle
 Yeah. This is a great idea.
00:07:16
stupidgoogle
 It's also why I don't think there should be handicapped spots there. think the handicapped spots should be further away. so Oh my god, I just remembered another rant I've got.
00:07:28
stupidgoogle
 This happened today.
00:07:30
stupidgoogle
 This rage today has been rough.
00:07:33
stupidgoogle
 So I get to go to the gym, do my workout.
00:07:36
stupidgoogle
 It's perfectly fine. No problems.
00:07:38
stupidgoogle
 I go to leave the gym. I didn't park my normal spot because somebody was in my normal spot, but that's okay. It's not assigned seating. You know, I'm not angry. It's fine.
00:07:47
Chris
 ah Isn't it though?
00:07:47
stupidgoogle
 I'm still. This f***ing lady. I think her Tesla had autopilot or something. She drives her.
00:07:58
stupidgoogle
 She parks her car in the middle of the road and is sitting there changing her shoes in the middle of the road. She's out of her car changing her shoes.
00:08:08
stupidgoogle
 Her car is behind her in the middle of the road. There are 17 open parking spaces. And she's, guess whose car? Of all the cars in the goddamn gym, guess whose car she's behind?
00:08:21
stupidgoogle
 Anybody want to guess?
00:08:22
stupidgoogle
 Anybody? Anybody? anybody
00:08:26
Chris
 I'm going to take it. It's yours.
00:08:27
stupidgoogle
 Of course it's mine. Of course. There are three cars that she's inconveniencing. And of course one of them is mine. And she's just sitting there.
00:08:36
stupidgoogle
 She's talking on the fucking phone. Two in her goddamn shoes. I'm like, what are you doing? And then, so I could i could squeeze my car. And I gave her the evil eye as I come by.
00:08:46
stupidgoogle
 And she gave me the evil eye back.
00:08:48
stupidgoogle
 I'm like, bitch, I'm going this car and I'm going kill you.
00:08:54
stupidgoogle
 There's just, what you're doing is so bonkers insane that there is no excuse for life.
00:08:59
stupidgoogle
 I don't understand. It's crazy. The world is terrible. I can't go out anymore.
00:09:05
Chris

stupidgoogle
 Yeah, you're you're done.
00:09:52
Chris

00:09:56
stupidgoogle
 I accidentally sat down at the table at station 16 and I had to sit there in that same spot every day for 12 years.
00:10:04

Chris
 I mean, this week with radio maintenance being at the station, they're sitting in that conference room, go to eat lunch, and it's like, you're my seat.
00:10:26
Chris
 I mean, it makes the food taste different. It's just.
00:10:30
stupidgoogle
 You're all out of whack.
00:10:33
stupidgoogle
 yeah we have We have a little problem with station one where C-shift will sit in chairs because they're just, you know, hanging out. And then my guys, one of my guys in particular, will sit in my chair.
00:10:46
stupidgoogle
 And it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:10:49
Chris
 Yeah. Pump the brakes there, ahaw
00:10:56

00:11:11
stupidgoogle
 You want to borrow my mug too?
00:11:14
Chris
 Oh, gosh. Let's see. I got. Not scolded, but like I had a shocked look given to me the other day because we were at this conference and I was talking to somebody and I was like, oh, my God. they're Like what?
00:11:28
Chris
 So was like, hold on. Somebody replied this text. set Like what? i was like, I just got a text. Hey, what was that email about? I write back. Did you read the email?
00:11:39
Chris
 Well, no, I'm driving.
00:11:42
stupidgoogle
 so you shouldn't be texting
00:11:42
Chris
 So I. So I wrote back, i was like, a you shouldn't be driving and texting, and B, get wherever you're going and read your damn email. I got back a frowny face for that. I said, what the fuck?
00:11:52
Chris
 and they're like, you seriously wrote that back to them? i was like, yes, I wrote back that they need to stop texting and driving and read their damn email when they get a chance. I'm not going explain the email.
00:12:01
stupidgoogle
 when did we go from the world of emails are not urgent you don't have to answer them immediately
00:12:10
stupidgoogle
 That's why they're emails.
00:12:11
stupidgoogle
 Did we send letters and expect the letter response immediately? Hmm.
00:12:14
Chris
 When I was a kid, i did expect, like when I sent off my, you know, 18 labels from Cracked Magazine to get my freaking spy camera, I expected it to come the next day.
00:12:29
Chris
 Yeah. God, yeah. Can you imagine kids nowadays having to wait six to eight weeks?
00:12:36
stupidgoogle
 Well, first you'd have to find a kid that does what a magazine is.
00:12:41
stupidgoogle
 You know, like...
00:12:42
Chris
 Tell them their Amazon shipment is going to be six to eight weeks.
00:12:45
stupidgoogle
 Yeah, that's insane.
00:12:48
stupidgoogle
 I mean, do you want to wait six to eight weeks for anything?
00:12:52
Chris
 Not now. not then and Now that I know it can be instant gratification.
00:12:56
stupidgoogle
 Yeah. It still weirds me out that things are... I can get things within six hours of ordering them in my house.
00:13:04
stupidgoogle
 It's kind of insane.
00:13:08
Chris
 That's because you live right next to the big city.
00:13:11
stupidgoogle
 It does help.
00:13:13
Chris
 yeah yeah yeah yeah i
00:13:13
stupidgoogle
 It does help. It also causes me to rage out when I drive around.
00:13:20
stupidgoogle
 I do laugh when you guys down down there are like, man, traffic's terrible down here.
00:13:25
Chris
 oh my god what's that and i know tomorrow people are gonna freak out because it's it's not been advertised at all but there's a marathon tomorrow
00:13:26
stupidgoogle
 You guys don't know what traffic is.
00:13:36
Chris
 And there's going to be people all across the city. What do you mean? I can't go that way. Well, there's people running down the road. what do you mean? What? do i What? What? That's the way I always go. Go a different way. That's the only way I know.
00:13:50
stupidgoogle
 That's true, it has not been advertised at all.
00:13:56
Chris
 All across social media.
00:13:58
stupidgoogle
 No, that doesn't count. I don't say crystal media. There's no billboards up, signs.
00:14:04
Chris
 yeah There's been a sign on Route 50 for the last week that says ah right where it's going to be downtown that says April 5th marathon of event.
00:14:17
Chris
 Like right beside Purdue.
00:14:17
stupidgoogle
 Oh, talking about a flashy sign.
00:14:20
stupidgoogle
 Yeah, I want like a billboard.
00:14:22
Chris
 Nobody gets billboards anymore.
00:14:25
stupidgoogle
 Of course they do!
00:14:26
stupidgoogle
 Billboards everywhere!
00:14:28
Chris
 Yeah, but nobody looks at them.
00:14:30
stupidgoogle
 oh I mean, I do.
00:14:34
Chris
 When's the last time that you were your influence was swayed by a billboard?
00:14:45
stupidgoogle
 five something going yeah yeah
00:14:45
Chris
 Can't think of it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:14:52
stupidgoogle
 stupid ones up here with a Steven Singer and I never want to go anywhere near that guy's store
00:14:57
Chris
 Oh, isn't it that the jewelry or whatever?
00:14:59
stupidgoogle
 yeah yeah yeah ah we have the ones on 95 now that are like LED and super bright they're cool
00:15:07
Chris
 Hmm. I saw there's one around here that's like a rolling billboard.
00:15:13
stupidgoogle
 Yeah, I've seen that. Yeah.
00:15:14
Chris
 The truck that's like surrounded by led screens, which to me, that's just more distractive than anything.
00:15:22
stupidgoogle
 Yeah. I think that's why most places don't allow billboards.
00:15:28
stupidgoogle
 know Yeah. Yeah. But I want a billboard saying that the marathon's happening. I need to know what's going on.
00:15:35
Chris
 well I tell you what, for next year, we'll get one up.
00:15:43
Chris
 Because that's going to be somebody else's problem next year.
00:15:46
stupidgoogle
 Ah, you hope. They're
00:15:51
stupidgoogle
 like, ah, you know, we really need a deputy chief to handle this problem.
00:15:54
Chris
 Yeah, that sounds like an operations problem. Yeah.
00:16:03
stupidgoogle
 I mean, you just move right into taking care of the folk festival.
00:16:09
Chris
 I already did that for Darren last year.
00:16:12
stupidgoogle
 Yeah, so you're ready.
00:16:21
stupidgoogle
 See, that's why it's nice to be a lieutenant, bro.
00:16:26
Chris
 Oh, yeah. Trust me, there are times that I'm like, man, I'm an idiot. I could be living the good life right now. yeah Just being a paramedic chauffeur.
00:16:36
stupidgoogle
 Yeah. Yeah, I think about that all the time.
00:16:39
stupidgoogle
 I'm like, do I really want to finish out my career doing this crap?
00:16:41
stupidgoogle
 I could just go be a driver.
00:16:42
Chris
 Yeah. Yeah. I'm driving the wagon I'm on the ambulance every now and again.
00:16:49
Chris
 like upgrade a unit, do some high tech ALS and say, glad to help peasants going back to my engine.
00:16:59
stupidgoogle
 And with my new attitude at Engine 1, which is, if it's not on fire, I'm available. It's really easy.
00:17:07
Chris
 if it's not on fire I'm available
00:17:12
stupidgoogle
 I was told to be an engine company.
00:17:14
Chris
 yeah that's true yeah yeah
00:17:14
stupidgoogle
 Engine companies, but we squirt water out.
00:17:21
stupidgoogle
 I think we need to go back to that in the fire service. I know that when I'm Currently, as an employee of the city of Salisbury, I can't ah advocate for this, but when I'm a politician, I'm going to like, you only get a fire engine if shit's on fire.
00:17:37
stupidgoogle
 Fire engine ain't coming out for your cats in the trees and your lockouts and all of that crap anymore. Someone injured or someone is something on fire.
00:17:53
stupidgoogle
 How many calls a year Do you think we, in our little fire department run, that have nothing to do with the fire department?
00:18:01
Chris
 i at least five hundred
00:18:04
stupidgoogle
 Oh, I bet it's more than that. ah I bet it's well above that. Because our city, and I'm sure many cities are like this too, our dispatch, well, the cops don't want handle this. Let's send the fire department.
00:18:17
stupidgoogle
 Right? How many trees down do we go across the roadway?
00:18:22
stupidgoogle
 there's There's a roads department.
00:18:26
stupidgoogle
 that have tree clearing crews.
00:18:30
stupidgoogle
 That's their job, not our job. the You're locked out of your car. There's a locksmith. That's their job.
00:18:40
stupidgoogle
 but Your kids are locked in the car. We'll get the kids out.
00:18:45
stupidgoogle
 There's danger involved there.
00:18:45
Chris
 You know, we should You know we should start doing with those? Get the kid out and say, OK, lock the door back and say, now you've got call Luck Smith.
00:18:50
stupidgoogle
 Knock the door.
00:18:56
stupidgoogle
 Fire department saved my kid, but they were real dicks.
00:18:56
Chris
 But again, we're not teaching them a lesson.
00:18:57
stupidgoogle
 They locked my car.
00:19:01
stupidgoogle
 No, we are not.
00:19:02
Chris
 yeah By relocking it, I think we'll start teaching lessons.
00:19:09
stupidgoogle
 Yeah. Yeah. I think that's fair. but when My fire department, the old one that I left to come to Salisbury, we had we had a form that we had to get people signed before we opened their doors.
00:19:23
stupidgoogle
 So we were like, we're not liable for any damage. Cause this when the old like Jimmy's, you know, that you had to pick in the damn doorway and you tried to break, broke one lady's linkage one time.
00:19:30
stupidgoogle
 I broke her window another time, you know, we were like, we'll probably damage your car. If you, I just want acknowledge that, you know, it had this whole liability waiver.
00:19:42
stupidgoogle
 Cause yeah, that's not our job, but people call us for it. Well, my basement's flooding. And that's my problem. Why?
00:19:54
Chris
 I thought you were like, my basement's flooding.
00:20:00
stupidgoogle
 But the fire service has become this catch-all for all of these problems. Right?
00:20:06
stupidgoogle
 you know And i yeah EMS is worse and only going to get worse. Right?
00:20:14
Chris
 Well, like you said, it's where the catch all. Oh, the cops will do it. Call the fire department.
00:20:21
stupidgoogle
 oh i the I need to go to the hospital and I'll get in there quicker if the ambulance takes me.
00:20:27
stupidgoogle
 great you don't First off, you don't need to go to the hospital anyways.
00:20:32
stupidgoogle
 You need go to urgent care.
00:20:34
Chris
 ah Or some of them, you need to go to urgent care. You need to go to a dentist or you need to go to your primary tomorrow or next week.
00:20:43
stupidgoogle
 i hope and pray that sometime before my career is over, which it probably won't happen, but that we get more on the Canada system where we walk in and say, nope, you're not going to the ER. Here's an appointment for a clinic.
00:20:58
stupidgoogle
 You know, there this, it's, it's insane.
00:21:02
Chris
 but I mean, you could do that your last day. Yeah.
00:21:05
stupidgoogle
 You could, what is a good do what are you?
00:21:09
stupidgoogle
 What are you going to do to me? Nothing.
00:21:11
stupidgoogle
 I'm done. But, You know, and it's worse from when we you and I were on a unit.
00:21:20
stupidgoogle
 We were on a unit full-time. It was how many calls were complete horseshit that needed to go to a clinic, not to, you know, and and what's the waiting time at the ER now?
00:21:29
stupidgoogle
 Four hours, eight hours, 12 hours.
00:21:32
stupidgoogle
 You know, somebody's going to to step in.
00:21:36
stupidgoogle
 You know and us just cramming more people in the ER is not going to help.
00:21:46
Chris
 mean, it's weird that the hospital saw 40 some percent of their patients last year in non-traditional settings.
00:21:54
Chris
 So outside of the room.
00:21:56
stupidgoogle
 Sure, I believe that.
00:22:00
stupidgoogle
 I mean, i I haven't been in Christiana in a while, but I mean, it's it's now a hallway of beds.
00:22:08
stupidgoogle
 right We don't have enough beds, so we just put more beds in the hallway. And now they the hallways have numbers for where the bed it goes.
00:22:16
stupidgoogle
 with This is insanity.
00:22:16
Chris
 Oh, my gosh. One the things what you do is you do that and then you put the people across from each other that can check on each other.
00:22:25
stupidgoogle
 Call us if that guy dies.
00:22:28
stupidgoogle
 We'll be over. But it's crazy.
00:22:32
stupidgoogle
 you know My wife had to have and she probably might've needed to go to the hospital, but we went to an urgent care instead the other night.
00:22:42
stupidgoogle
 And the only reason I was like, we're going to urgent care is you're not going to get seen for eight hours, three o'clock morning.
00:22:49
stupidgoogle
 You're not, you're good luck.
00:22:53
Chris
 You should just fix her at home.
00:22:56
stupidgoogle
 Well, I don't have a 12. don't have an EKG at home currently. And, you know, it seems pretty pricey.
00:23:04
Chris
 ah You should fix that. Yeah.
00:23:12
stupidgoogle
 That's a little outside of first aid.
00:23:15
Chris
 Yeah. Yeah. Second aid.
00:23:17
stupidgoogle
 i mean, I guess you could do it. I mean, there's nothing.
00:23:22
stupidgoogle
 I don't even know anymore. Could I buy life pack?
00:23:28
stupidgoogle
 I don't need a prescription for it.
00:23:31
stupidgoogle
 But you need a prescription for an AED.
00:23:35
stupidgoogle
 Didn't you used to?
00:23:36
Chris
 Not. You used to. Not anymore.
00:23:39
stupidgoogle
 so I could just pile.
00:23:39
Chris
 Because now they're like mandatory for grocery stores and all kinds of things.
00:23:46
stupidgoogle
 i That would freaking mess with your head as a paramedic. You walk in and the dude's already on a life pack.
00:23:53
stupidgoogle
 What happened? what What happened?
00:23:56
Chris
 Yeah. I just sent it over to LifeNet. You should be getting it any minute.
00:24:01
stupidgoogle
 but what's What's going on?
00:24:03
stupidgoogle
 Whose life pack is this? Was there already a medic unit here?
00:24:05
stupidgoogle
 Did they leave?
00:24:06
stupidgoogle
 Did they forget this?
00:24:09
Chris
 We called to Abeliz two years ago. They never came and got this.
00:24:17
stupidgoogle
 I mean, it's only what? $30,000 for a life pack?
00:24:24
stupidgoogle
 Can you put a price tag on safety?
00:24:28
stupidgoogle
 Yeah. Just buy a $45,000 life pack for the one time you might need it.
00:24:37
stupidgoogle
 And you really hope it's not you who needs it, but your loved one.
00:24:42
stupidgoogle
 Or they need to learn quick how to use it. Yeah.
00:24:48
stupidgoogle
 Really, we're just going to get to the point where our Apple watches and iPhones and smartwatches will just call 911 and tell us that we're going to AFib or something.
00:24:58
Chris
 Yeah. Well, I mean, already they have AFib detectors.
00:25:06
stupidgoogle
 We need the VTAC detectors.
00:25:09
stupidgoogle
 Yeah. Oh, this guy's a VTAC.
00:25:15
stupidgoogle
 I mean, it's probably going to happen in our lifetime.
00:25:19
Chris
 I mean, it's not far.
00:25:26
Chris
 You sneeze the wrong way or something. And all sudden, ambulance shows up. You're like, what? Sir, you're going to the hospital. No, I'm not. Thank you.
00:25:36
stupidgoogle
 Put your watch on top of ah the washing machine.
00:25:42
Chris
 Honey, there's an engine, a medic, and a supervisor showing Oh, my
00:25:47
stupidgoogle
 oh my god, another rant I just remembered.
00:25:51
stupidgoogle
 On my way today to the gym. ah i can ah I get it, Opticombs are great for the Amulets crew. but could you guys close up the gap between the medic unit and the ambulance so that the Opticon doesn't trip and then immediately re-trip because you're 13 seconds behind the other one?
00:26:13
stupidgoogle
 And they were turning right.
00:26:18
stupidgoogle
 How dare they go save somebody's life.
00:26:18
Chris
 yeah and were they really going to save somebody's life yeah
00:26:23
stupidgoogle
 No, they were going to nursing home for probably toe pain. Okay. How many calls do you think we run that are actually about saving lives? 15%?
00:26:36
stupidgoogle
 Okay. I'm going
00:26:37
Chris
 I was gonna say 10%
00:26:39
stupidgoogle
 okay i'm to give it 15%.
00:26:43
stupidgoogle
 Because trauma is tricky, right?
00:26:46
stupidgoogle
 We need to rule some stuff out.
00:26:47
stupidgoogle
 I'm going to give it 15%.
00:26:49
Chris
 Hmm. But Ron, run in the long run, aren't we always saving someone's life?
00:26:58
stupidgoogle
 No, no. Most days I would say no. Let's say,
00:27:06
stupidgoogle
 whoa, yeah, no. I had that talk with my young paramedic the other day. I'm like, it's not about the 85% of the calls you go on. It's about the 10% of the calls where actually can make a difference.
00:27:20
stupidgoogle
 The other 5% of the calls you're like, eh, there's 10% calls you actually can make a difference.
00:27:26
stupidgoogle
 You gotta take the wins where you can get them.
00:27:31
stupidgoogle
 What we're really telling people, right, there's 5% we can't do, we're just there to do paperwork, right?
00:27:31
Chris
 Yeah, there's that 5%. You can't do anything.
00:27:40
stupidgoogle
 There's 10% of our calls that we can actually make a difference. And there's 85% of our calls that we, if we didn't show up, it would be the same effect.
00:27:51
stupidgoogle
 And it's worse on the fire engine. Because on the Fire Engine, 99% of the calls.
00:27:56
stupidgoogle
 It didn't matter. 1%, we make a difference.
00:28:02
stupidgoogle
 It's kind of sad to look at.
00:28:04
Chris
 Yeah. Yeah. So you'll appreciate this.
00:28:08
Chris
 i was talking to a young ah police officer from Fruitland Police and he was saying, he's like, yeah, um yeah, I started riding.
00:28:19
Chris
 at Fruitland Fire Department, because I was a Jersey EMT. I'm trying to get my Maryland. I just want to keep it up, because eventually i want to go to FBI Academy. I was like, oh that's cool. Good for you, man. He's like, yeah. He's like, and we started something in Fruitland.
00:28:32
Chris
 ah Our dispatch can hear Wicomico's emergency dispatch. So anytime that there's an unconscious, non-breathing, or an overdose, one of our units is automatically put on it now, just so in case we can get there first and, you know, start CPR.
00:28:48
Chris
 was like, Time out, young man. You're doing what? And his police chief came and sat down.
00:28:56
Chris
 He's like, yeah, I think it's a great initiative. You know I'm glad they're doing it. i was like, can you teach other municipalities? And they're like, yeah, no.
00:29:04
stupidgoogle
 Yeah. I had a whole talk with my guys of the day about Philly PD and their shooting victims program where the
00:29:15
stupidgoogle
 if the cops get there and there's not an ambulance on scene, they just put the victim in the back of the cop car and drive them to a hospital. And they have like the highest trauma gunshot wound survival rate in the country.
00:29:27
stupidgoogle
 And, you know, my, my, my go-getter EMS providers are like, but what, but what is that?
00:29:35
stupidgoogle
 And I'm like, turns out that surgery is the only thing that fixes trauma like that.
00:29:41
stupidgoogle
 We don't perform our surgery. In fact, more than likely, we are exacerbating the problem by being there.
00:29:53
Chris
 Yeah, maybe if we can throw some blood into them as we're taking them rapidly to the hospital, it'll make a difference. But yeah.
00:30:01
stupidgoogle
 Maybe, but if we take five minutes to put that blood on board, we're...
00:30:02
Chris
 Maybe. and Oh, yeah, that's what i'm saying.
00:30:04
stupidgoogle
 shouldve been
00:30:05
Chris
 Yeah, it should be a ah rapid thing.
00:30:10
stupidgoogle
 But with zero care at all, the numbers go better.
00:30:11
Chris
 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well. I would love to implement something like that around us, but they would probably drive them to like Johnson McKee Animal Hospital.
00:30:28
stupidgoogle
 But see, they don't... The thing that that really interests me about that is we we're so far behind the trauma eight ball because we're waiting for the clear scene to get cleared.
00:30:40
stupidgoogle
 You know, if they just grab the patient and that's, you know, even if we say, Hey, we're only on scene for two minutes and we did all this stuff in that two minutes.
00:30:48
stupidgoogle
 If you were the best team in the world, you did, you know, you got blood on board TXA, you got all these things on board, it but the two minutes and you're transporting, you're still 10 minutes from when it happened.
00:30:57
stupidgoogle
 Right. But if they just,
00:30:58
Chris
 Or even if they would just drag them out to us immediately.
00:31:01
stupidgoogle
 Sure. Yeah. Something is better than nothing.
00:31:11
stupidgoogle
 We just got to... Unfortunately, it's not even unfortunately, police need to buy into the life-saving part of their job.
00:31:21
stupidgoogle
 you know You know, it's crazy to me that ah I, as an officer in a fire department, have to call for the police department to respond to a non-breathing.
00:31:32
stupidgoogle
 Whereas where I live, the police department gets automatically dispatched and goes.
00:31:37
stupidgoogle
 Because they might get there first.
00:31:42
stupidgoogle
 Officers should be... Want to go save lives, right? Like that's...
00:31:50
stupidgoogle
 I don't know if this is true down there. But most cops up here have ADs. Right. Sure. Right.
00:31:56
Chris
 um Not in our municipality. In Fruitland, I do.
00:32:02
Chris
 um I don't know about the sheriff's office. Yeah.
00:32:07
stupidgoogle
 I remember years ago, there was some police department that was against all this idea. And then they were like, well, was just going to do it. And the first person they saved was their own police chief.
00:32:18
stupidgoogle
 You know, it's like, well, boy, that really worked out.
00:32:27
stupidgoogle
 think this As quick as we can be, we can't be everywhere.
00:32:32
stupidgoogle
 you And they roam a lot more than we do.
00:32:33
Chris
 Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. and So i was actually teaching CPR today to court bailiffs, which most of them are retired cops and stuff.
00:32:45
Chris
 um But the one guy, he was like, yeah, I was, I started my career as a Baltimore city police officer in 1979.
00:32:53
stupidgoogle
 Shoo. What do
00:32:54
Chris
 I was like, good God, man. He's like I worked there for 30 years. It's like, What is wrong with you?
00:33:03
stupidgoogle
 you think about the stories that guy's got to tell?
00:33:06
stupidgoogle
 Ottawa City in the 80s? Oh, my God.
00:33:07
Chris
 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So. Yeah. And then he was like, yeah, so I retired from that. And then I went into arson investigation in Baltimore County. And then he did like five or 10 years with like State Farm doing their fire investigation stuff.
00:33:25
Chris
 i was like, bully for you, man.
00:33:27
stupidgoogle
 man And now you're still working.
00:33:31
Chris
 Yeah. Yeah. I didn't ask why.
00:33:34
stupidgoogle
 Sure, it's called divorce.
00:33:35
Chris
 Yeah. Yeah, probably. Yeah.
Movie Discussions: Superheroes and Box Office
00:33:41
stupidgoogle
 Well, on the topic one, it's not going to be a very long topic, but topic one, I guess.
00:33:41
Chris
 ah Yeah. You ready for topic one?
00:33:49
stupidgoogle
 ah So ah we've got Robert Downey Jr.'s Doomsday. ah Dr. Doom, not Doomsday.
00:33:57
stupidgoogle
 And now we have Superdog.
00:34:01
stupidgoogle
 Did you see the Superman thing?
00:34:02
Chris
 Yeah. Yeah. Crypto. Yeah.
00:34:06
stupidgoogle
 Are we excited? I guess is my question. Quote, unquote, excited. Because here's what I would tell you. The bus so box office numbers for this year are abysmal.
00:34:19
Chris
 Oh yeah. Yeah. They're horrible.
00:34:21
stupidgoogle
 I don't know if that's because nobody wants to go to movies or because there's no good movies.
00:34:26
Chris
 I, I think it's a bit of both.
00:34:28
Chris
 Cause like I, I heard something on the radio today that, um, After the abysmal weekend of the Snow White movie that Disney has paused any further live action movies.
00:34:42
Chris
 So, which I mean, yeah I don't know if many be people that were clamoring for a live action Snow White.
00:34:43
stupidgoogle
 Maybe that's a good thing.
00:34:50
Chris
 And evidently the lead actress was like bashing the movie before it came out.
00:34:55
stupidgoogle
 It's always useful.
00:34:55
Chris
 So, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:34:57
stupidgoogle
 Do your kids even know the Snow White story?
00:35:03
stupidgoogle
 You sure? Have they seen the Snow White animated movie?
00:35:06
Chris
 I'm sure they haven't.
00:35:08
stupidgoogle
 Sure! That's what I'm saying.
00:35:11
stupidgoogle
 Is anybody clamoring for Snow White?
00:35:13
stupidgoogle
 Because I remember when we were kids, it was like a big deal because it came out of the vault again.
00:35:20
stupidgoogle
 Like, the Disney vault is such a gimmick.
00:35:20
Chris
 That was such a gimmick.
00:35:23
stupidgoogle
 But that was their thing.
00:35:24
stupidgoogle
 he was like, oh, the Snow White's coming back. and i I can remember my mother being like, oh, we can watch Snow White because it's coming out of the vaults.
00:35:32
stupidgoogle
 I was like, I don't care.
00:35:38
stupidgoogle
 Side tangent to all of this. but ah ah turned what?
00:35:39
Chris
 No, I 95, 96. God. I'm sorry. math.
00:35:42
stupidgoogle
 19... in what a
00:35:46
Chris
 eighty five eighty six
00:35:49
Chris
 i mean ninety five ninety six ah sorry i couldn't math
00:35:55
stupidgoogle
 And my mother decided to take me to see a Walnut Street Theater in Philadelphia production of Wizard of Oz.
00:36:07
stupidgoogle
 And she's like, this is, I thought she would love this. And I'm like,
00:36:12
stupidgoogle
 what world would i love to go see this at all she's like well love the wizard of oz yeah you love the wizard of oz i do not
00:36:21
Chris
 Yeah. Yeah. No, i I always thought that movie was stupid.
00:36:28
stupidgoogle
 yeah i didn't ever enjoy the wizard of oz oh side tangent side tangent did you see that they're remaking naked gun
00:36:41
stupidgoogle
 Well, Leslie Nielsen's dead.
00:36:44
Chris
 Well, yeah, but i'm so I didn't know if it was like some weird continuation or something.
00:36:49
stupidgoogle
 That's fair, but it's got Liam Neeson as the main character.
00:36:54
stupidgoogle
 Liam Neeson.
00:36:55
Chris
 He's not a funny man. Mm-hmm.
00:36:58
stupidgoogle
 Oh, I'm not going to say that. I think he's a scary man.
00:37:02
stupidgoogle
 Well, Leslie Nielsen wasn't a funny man until Airplane.
00:37:08
stupidgoogle
 He was like a serious actor at one point.
00:37:09
Chris
 Yeah. Yeah. I just... Why... Why do we have to remake things? Why not just try to make something new?
00:37:19
stupidgoogle
 Yeah. Do think they'll try to cast like another killer? Cause OJ is dead, so we can't get him.
00:37:25
Chris
 I think you get Ray Lewis from the Ravens.
00:37:32
stupidgoogle
 Yeah. Yeah. He just beat up his girlfriend in the elevator.
00:37:33
Chris
 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. um
00:37:40
stupidgoogle
 So anyways, back to Dr.
00:37:42
stupidgoogle
 Doom and Crypto.
00:37:44
Chris
 Yeah. um I mean, I mean,
00:37:45
stupidgoogle
 but Do you care about Superman?
00:37:49
Chris
 i I, so look, I'm not, you I am always, when it comes to DC, much more of the team Batman, but I gotta say this Superman looks neat. I watched the trailer that was crypto being the goodest and the baddest boy at the same time. And yeah, I just, it was, know, seeing that and then he like,
00:38:11
Chris
 drug him to the Fortress of Solitude and the way it like came out of ice and everything. else i they I felt like a little kid watching it. so
00:38:20
stupidgoogle
 Well, that's good.
00:38:21
Chris
 Yeah. But as far as the Marvel stuff for Doctor Doom and all, I don't know. and i mean, they and they showed all those people that you know that are going to be in it and this and that. I'm like, cool. This seems like way too many people for a movie, but okay.
00:38:38
Chris
 um I don't know. Yeah.
00:38:41
stupidgoogle
 Yeah, I'm more worried. I think I'm more worried about the Doctor Doom one.
00:38:47
stupidgoogle
 Because I feel like if The Superman doesn't do well. And this is only my impression because I just didn't care about any of the last Superman movies.
00:38:56
stupidgoogle
 um I don't think it matters if it does well or not as much.
00:39:03
stupidgoogle
 least to me. Right.
00:39:05
Chris
 Well, and I mean, DC's in a rough spot anyway, so.
00:39:08
stupidgoogle
 Yeah. That's a light way put that.
00:39:10
Chris
 I just, this, just This Superman, they just need to make him do something.
00:39:16
Chris
 Because, like, I mean, Cavill had some stuff, but they immediately, you know, they let his dad die when he could have easily zipped over there and save him.
00:39:29
Chris
 Oh, no, son, stand over there while I get sucked up by this tornado kind of thing. And yeah and then before that, you had Brandon Routh, who I don't think he fought at all in his movie.
00:39:33
stupidgoogle
 Right. That was weird.
00:39:41
Chris
 So yeah, just have Superman do Superman stuff.
00:39:47
stupidgoogle
 Yeah, I felt less impressed by either of the last two Superman.
00:39:53
stupidgoogle
 didn't and there' the And if you rewatch them, they're like, oh, these aren't very good. Sure.
00:39:58
Chris
 Yeah. I mean, Cavill is a seems like a phenomenal guy, but just not a good yeah movie.
00:40:07
stupidgoogle
 Well, Superman's such a tough character, right?
00:40:12
stupidgoogle
 Because I think the Christopher Reeve Superman was pretty good, you know, because a I mean, it's bonkers that Gene Hackman was, you know, Max Luthor.
00:40:27
stupidgoogle
 But, you know, like they had something there where it wasn't so serious. It didn't take itself very seriously.
00:40:35
stupidgoogle
 It was a little campy and fun
00:40:36
Chris
 Oh, yeah. Yeah. That way he had the best disguise. Yeah.
00:40:42
stupidgoogle
 Yeah. So that was fine. And I think that's kind of how you have to play Superman because if if you make Superman too serious and you start thinking about Superman, the whole thing is falls apart.
00:40:49
Chris
 Yeah. Oh, yeah. yeah yeah
00:40:54
stupidgoogle
 And Doctor Doom, I don't know.
00:40:57
stupidgoogle
 i I saw that. I think I saw the same graphic you did where it had like all of the actors that are confirmed to be in this movie and then the possibles at the bottom.
00:41:08
stupidgoogle
 And I was like, lot of people.
00:41:11
Chris
 yeah i mean, it's like the same amount of people that were in like Endgame.
00:41:16
stupidgoogle
 right feels like a lot
00:41:19
Chris
 Yeah. Yeah. Although I will say Marvel right now is doing a good job with Daredevil.
00:41:28
stupidgoogle
 i've heard that i've heard that i haven't watched any of the daredevil because i watched the first daredevil and it was terrible and found another show the first episode is not good
00:41:29
Chris
 Oh, you haven't watched the new season?
00:41:38
Chris
 you talking about the movie with Ben Affleck? Oh.
00:41:45
stupidgoogle
 And people are like, well, just give it like three episodes.
00:41:48
stupidgoogle
 I'm not giving you three episodes.
00:41:51
Chris
 You could jump right into this season and be fine.
00:41:54
stupidgoogle
 Well, that'd be good.
00:41:56
Chris
 But they're and like, and I've seen people complain like, oh, you know, he's not, you know, putting on the suit. and this It's like, yeah, but it's also showing the lawyer aspect of it and him thinking about things and, you know, not just blind man hitting people.
00:42:13
stupidgoogle
 So, blind man fitting people is fun.
00:42:15
Chris
 yeah. It is. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And there's some good fight scenes, but yeah. Yeah, don't know. Marvel is, and maybe just going for the shows for a while is a good idea.
00:42:30
Chris
 And DC, if Super, honestly, just stick with animated.
00:42:38
stupidgoogle
 Yeah, that's fair.
00:42:42
stupidgoogle
 They do have the second best animated series.
00:42:46
Chris
 What would the first be?
00:42:48
stupidgoogle
 ah The nineteen ninety s X-Men.
00:42:53
stupidgoogle
 It's pretty good.
00:42:55
Chris
 Yeah. 90s X-Men. Yeah. don't know. It's kind of like right there.
00:43:00
stupidgoogle
 It's right there.
00:43:00
Chris
 Batman the Animated Series and that.
00:43:00
stupidgoogle
 but yeah yeah
00:43:02
stupidgoogle
 They're right at one and two.
00:43:04
stupidgoogle
 But if you love X-Men, that's the best X-Men.
00:43:07
Chris
 Yeah. but Did you watch the new X-Men cartoon?
00:43:14
stupidgoogle
 I have not seen that. didn't even know it existed.
00:43:15
Chris
 You owe it to yourself to watch
Nostalgia and Animated Series
00:43:17
Chris
 that. Yeah, it's on Disney+. plus
00:43:19
stupidgoogle
 Is it worth it?
00:43:21
Chris
 Yes, a thousand percent yes.
00:43:22
stupidgoogle
 Oh. Okay. and I'll have to watch it.
00:43:24
Chris
 Yeah, it actually, yeah, it's right in line with the x the X-Men from the 90s. That's why it's X-Men 97, but it's like a continuation of that series.
00:43:39
Chris
 Yeah, yep. Yeah, you actually, Cyclops actually acts like a leader and does cool stuff. And yeah.
00:43:46
stupidgoogle
 Oh, you mean he's not just a whiny jerk?
00:43:49
Chris
 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Wolverine is a prick. um Yeah, that's it's good. Yeah.
00:43:56
stupidgoogle
 This prick is is a preus pretty much the number one, isn't he?
00:43:59
Chris
 Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, he's lived for over 100 years.
00:44:03
Chris
 He's going to be grumpy. Yeah, yeah.
00:44:09
stupidgoogle
 Well, I'll have to check that out.
00:44:11
stupidgoogle
 A new recommendation. but what The only thing I've been watching lately is The Pit. I feel like I only have...
00:44:16
Chris
 I haven't started that yet.
00:44:17
stupidgoogle
 Oh. It's pretty good.
00:44:20
Chris
 Yeah, I've heard. Yeah.
00:44:23
stupidgoogle
 It's... The only thing it's missing is all the nurses sleeping with all the firemen or cops.
00:44:29
stupidgoogle
 That's the only thing it's really missing.
00:44:32
Chris
 Yeah, I've heard it much more of a true to life what an emergency room is.
00:44:42
stupidgoogle
 ah It's a little dramatized for sure.
00:44:45
Chris
 Well, I'm sure, yeah but closer anything else.
00:44:49
stupidgoogle
 My biggest like because complaint is the EMS people in it, but they're still dressing like their EMTs from the 90s.
00:44:59
stupidgoogle
 yeah We had that talk at work the other day, and it's a thought experiment for you to think about.
00:45:04
stupidgoogle
 This has nothing to do with that topic except the EMTs.
00:45:07
stupidgoogle
 So when we started, you and I,
00:45:10
stupidgoogle
 we had to have our bell ah blue shirts and bell caps, right?
00:45:14
stupidgoogle
 We either had to wear them into work or have them with us and change it to work, right?
00:45:19
stupidgoogle
 But we had to have them and we wore them fairly regularly.
00:45:22
stupidgoogle
 You had to wear your stupid garrison belt boots and black, well, blue, black, whatever color that's supposed to be, pants, right?
00:45:31
stupidgoogle
 Now we wear shorts and t-shirts, sneakers. Couldn't even tell you if had blue shirts in my ah my locker or not.
00:45:40
stupidgoogle
 What do you think they're going to wear in 20 years?
00:45:43
Chris
 Oh gosh. Yeah, that's a good thought experiment.
00:45:49
stupidgoogle
 Because you know what my point is? No one cared that we went to shorts and t-shirts. yeah
00:45:54
stupidgoogle
 not Not one person in the public was like, I can't believe these people dress like this.
00:45:58
Chris
 Yeah. Was a mailman coming to pick me up?
00:45:59
stupidgoogle
 you know Yeah. yeah There's only one person I know who ever complained about it. I guess he...
00:46:07
stupidgoogle
 he did go to hospital the other day so i don't know if he gave the paramedic crap for what they were wearing yeah
00:46:12
Chris
 No, I don't think he did. he was also the one. If you want to wear shorts, go work for the zoo.
00:46:17
stupidgoogle
 right yeah yeah but i just think it's interesting like
EMS Uniform Evolution
00:46:22
stupidgoogle
 all of the things that we held on to of all the things that stupid blue shirt and bell cap and belt buckle that that went away without a whimper when it finally brought away its just it's gone
00:46:36
Chris
 Yeah. Well, wait. Belt buckle-wise, what belts do they issue now?
00:46:40
stupidgoogle
 I think they still issue that belt.
00:46:43
stupidgoogle
 You can wear the other belt if you want.
00:46:45
Chris
 As long as that belt's still issued.
00:46:51
stupidgoogle
 It is the most impractical belt ever existing.
00:46:54
Chris
 i have worn that belt every...
00:46:55
stupidgoogle
 It does a terrible job.
00:46:57
Chris
 day of my career since February 24th of 2003.
00:47:04
stupidgoogle
 The same one?
00:47:06
Chris
 ah Well, no, I'm on my second belt.
00:47:09
stupidgoogle
 so Okay. Okay.
00:47:11
stupidgoogle
 But it's a terrible belt.
00:47:12
Chris
 And my God, what? Probably fifth or sixth buckle.
00:47:16
stupidgoogle
 Well, yeah, you keep getting to get a new buckles.
00:47:19
stupidgoogle
 But it's a current.
00:47:19
Chris
 Oh, yeah. They had to make sure they gave me that stuff the other day. I was like, OK, great, cool.
00:47:23
stupidgoogle
 Well, yeah, you need it. Can't your job without it.
00:47:28
stupidgoogle
 You guys should get a special color Deputy Chief Polo.
00:47:33
Chris

00:47:35
stupidgoogle
 Like a cream and instead of white.

00:47:49
stupidgoogle
 Oh! you know what you should bring back?
00:47:51
Chris

stupidgoogle
 But you should bring back the the sweaters. The commando sweaters.
00:47:58
Chris
 Oh my God. The Rick Hoppers, Drew Bragg tactical sweaters.
00:48:06
Chris

00:48:42
stupidgoogle
 ah Well, we're going to move on to topic
00:48:45
Chris
 Sure, topic two. um So I got thinking about this the other day. I know a lot of people have talked about it. um What kind of, don't know, ESP or fortune teller whatever do the Simpsons have working for them?
00:49:03
Chris
 Because it seems like over the years they have predicted a lot of stuff.
00:49:07
stupidgoogle
 Yeah, and like it feels like it can't just be random, right?
00:49:11
Chris
 Yeah, I mean, like the Trump presidency and.
00:49:16
Chris
 Oh, gosh, the the Super Bowl picks. I mean. It's just crazy. Smartwatches.
00:49:27
stupidgoogle
 Let's see. Here's the things listed. ah The Siegfried and Roy attack.
00:49:33
stupidgoogle
 Fever corruption. Donald Trump for president.

00:50:22
Chris
 The Higgs boson particle.
00:50:24

 the ebola outbreak
00:50:26
Chris

00:50:28
stupidgoogle
 In that expression particle. Yeah. Yeah.
00:50:44
stupidgoogle
 uh, mill has predicted 2016 Nobel prize winner back in 2010.
00:50:57
stupidgoogle
 They predicted Guitar Hero three years before it was released.
00:51:02
Chris
 Cypress Hill performing and with the London Symphony Orchestra.
00:51:08
stupidgoogle
 The entire plot of the Hangover movie in 1999.
00:51:14
stupidgoogle
 Lady Gaga and the Super Bowl, FIFA's Corruption Scandal, Game of Thrones' crazy finale.
00:51:20
Chris
 Oh, yeah yeah. I mean, how do they have a fortune teller like on staff?
00:51:27
stupidgoogle
 I don't know. That's... That is crazy.
00:51:32
Chris
 Because it's not like, you know, in the 80s and ninety s people weren't going, man, know, the Flintstones, look at all this stuff they predicted.
00:51:45
stupidgoogle
 Let's see. How many episodes...
00:51:54
Chris
 Are you using Google? Because we know you and Google aren't happy right now.
00:51:57
stupidgoogle
 Yeah, yeah we're we're having a fight right now.
00:52:02
stupidgoogle
 So there have been, what, 33 seasons of The Simpsons?
00:52:06
stupidgoogle
 It would take you 16,016 minutes to watch it all right now.
00:52:13
stupidgoogle
 If you add the movie, it's another 87 minutes.
00:52:16
stupidgoogle
 So that's 268 days.
00:52:21
stupidgoogle
 Good Lord. What do you think Matt Groning does with all his money?
00:52:29
Chris
 ah He's got a scooge but ah Scrooge McDucket. He swims in that stuff.
00:52:33
stupidgoogle
 yeah or he's paying remember the lady from um total uh not total recall uh oh the damn tom cruise movie oh no no
00:52:45

 Mission Impossible? Oh, oh, um...
00:52:56
stupidgoogle
 yeah Tom Cruise.
00:53:01
Chris
 It's called Minority Report.
00:53:03
stupidgoogle
 Yeah, yeah, You think they've got one of those people lit a vat at the Simpsons headquarters?
00:53:11
stupidgoogle
 They have to, right? this this though It doesn't make any sense.
00:53:16
stupidgoogle
 It's been...
00:53:16
Chris
 Or this is probably something nobody's actually thought of. Is Matt Groening a time traveler?
00:53:24
stupidgoogle
 oh So you're saying Futurama is not a comedy?
00:53:30
Chris
 No, no, I think that's, yeah, that's legit.
00:53:34
Chris
 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's a future telling.
00:53:40
Chris
 Because there's no way for us to tell if Matt really is. from this time or not.
00:53:46
stupidgoogle
 It's true. Do we have pictures of Matt Growning when he was a kid? i don't.
00:53:52
stupidgoogle
 Hmm. Hmm. Matt Groening, this is, ah we're calling you out. You have two days to respond. You need to punch Christopher Truitt on a Wednesday morning at 10 a.m.
00:54:04
Chris
 Oh, God. Oh, at 10? Oh, yeah. oh yeah
00:54:13
stupidgoogle
 Yeah, that is crazy.
00:54:14
Chris
 Yeah, see, look, there's even a Reddit thread. Matt Groening is a time traveler and Futurama is a documentary. Oof.
00:54:26
stupidgoogle
 I mean, I don't disagree with the statement because it is it is crazy at this point.
00:54:32
stupidgoogle
 Like, a few of those you'd be like, oh yeah, they sure. they But to have that many predictions come true seems bonkers.
00:54:43
Chris
 Hmm. Oh, and the he reportedly earns $44,000 a day from The Simpsons.
00:54:51
stupidgoogle
 day. or ah day
00:54:55
Chris
 A day. Oh, my gosh.
00:54:59
stupidgoogle
 That's... Yeah. And you never hear anything about him.
00:55:04
Chris
 Yeah, it says he grew up in Portland, Oregon. That sounds shady.
00:55:10
stupidgoogle
 Like, I couldn't even... i know I've seen him before, but I don't think I could point him out.
00:55:19
stupidgoogle
 And for somebody who's been that famous for that long, that's pretty impressive. That you don't ever hear anything about him.
00:55:35
stupidgoogle
 I mean, all of those people have to make big money off the Simpsons, right? Hank Azera, all those guys, they have it.
00:55:41
Chris
 oh yeah, yeah. yeah
00:55:46
stupidgoogle
 It's going to end soon. It's got it, right?
00:55:49
Chris
 ah They just renewed it, didn't they?
00:55:51
stupidgoogle
 I know. Who knows? I don't follow it, but it's kind of, i mean, it's crazy.
00:55:56
Chris
 um Let's see. Yeah, Simpsons was just renewed for four more seasons.
00:56:02
stupidgoogle
 seasons. more seasons.
00:56:08
stupidgoogle
 I couldn't even tell you.
00:56:08
Chris
 As was Bob's Burgers and American Dad.
00:56:13
stupidgoogle
 I thought they canceled Racketad.
00:56:15
Chris
 and it They did, and then it came back, and I don't
00:56:21
Chris
 And I've never watched Bob's Burgers, so.
00:56:21
stupidgoogle
 I can't tell last time watched The Simpsons.
00:56:25
stupidgoogle
 I've watched a few episodes. My wife likes it.
00:56:27
stupidgoogle
 Yeah, it seems funny.
00:56:31
stupidgoogle
 It's got the guy from Archer in it.
00:56:34
stupidgoogle
 That's all I can really tell you. yeah
00:56:41
Chris
 Yeah. See, I mean, there's somebody probably out there scouring through Simpsons footage, trying to find the next prediction.
00:56:50
stupidgoogle
 yeah that's how you make your millions by using the simpsons to figure out the stock market what best what stock should i invest in look it up in the simpsons what would homer do
00:56:52
Chris
 God. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:56:59
Chris
 Yeah. What would Homer do?
00:57:05
Chris
 Good old Homer J. Yeah.
00:57:09
stupidgoogle
 I mean, it's a pretty impressive feat to be around that long.
00:57:16
stupidgoogle
 think they'll make it 50 years. That seems insane. But 33 years seems insane.
00:57:21
Chris
 Yeah. It's one of those. mean, you feel like they almost have to at this point.
00:57:26
stupidgoogle
 Right, you got to got to push on through. Let's
00:57:32
stupidgoogle
 be Hankins area just like walking in a walker into the into the recording booth.
00:57:40
Chris

00:57:45
stupidgoogle
 That sounds awful. Doing anything for 33 years sounds awful.
00:57:55
stupidgoogle
 that's depressing. I need to end this podcast.
00:57:58
Chris
 um Oh my gosh. Hank Azaria is estimated to have a net worth of $90 million. Oh,
00:58:09
stupidgoogle
 And you can only name one movie that he's ever been in.
