00:01:28
Speaker
Is it true? There's some people that think the rapture is happening like tomorrow or something there. I've read some things recently that people think that the rapture or the end of days is coming or it it is beginning, if you will.
00:01:40
Speaker
Yeah. i Yeah. They always think that. But I remember I saw someone post. Yeah. that they had heard there's a lot of people that are like all their eggs in one basket that the rapture is happening in like ah tomorrow or something.
00:01:51
Speaker
And she's like, well, if you believe that, here's my Venmo. You can give me all of your money if you truly believe that because you're not you're not going to need anymore. Yeah. So why not send me the money?
00:02:04
Speaker
Whatever the world may be. i don't know. Yeah. But, ah well, if it happens, well'll I guess we'll see. we'll We'll give you an update on the next episode of the podcast ah if the Rapture happened. Yeah, if the Rapture happened. We might be in a space station. Yeah.
00:02:19
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, I don't know. space station would be awesome.
Rapture and 'Left Behind' Series
00:02:22
Speaker
Do you remember the movies Left Behind? The Left Behind series? No, no, I don't. So...
00:02:31
Speaker
um So there are. ah Well, there was a book series called Left Behind, which was about ah kind of post rapture and the Antichrist and everything. And it starred Kirk Cameron.
00:02:44
Speaker
Well, they made two movies. think just Cameron. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. That guy. Yeah. The guy who believes that bananas were designed for a human hand.
00:02:56
Speaker
ah Him and another guy named Ray Comfort have this argument that bananas are designed for for a human to hold because it fits perfectly in, in the parts of your finger. And there's a little top that you pull and it's like bananas are mutations that we created. Like this is not even, we're not even supposed to be eating them, but whatever.
00:03:15
Speaker
I know something. Anyway, I'm getting, that's perfect to hold in the hand like that.
00:03:23
Speaker
Oh, like what? A cucumber. Cucumber is easy to hold too. Oh, I thought you were going to say penis. No, I was not going to say penis. Dude, I i really thought like, is he about to say penis?
00:03:34
Speaker
That's silly. No. Yes, I meant penis.
00:03:39
Speaker
Um, so I, why did I bring this up? I don't know. Yeah. Um, So, uh, I don't know. I brought this up for a reason. Was I saying before You were talking about... I didn't drink enough my coffee yet. Yeah.
00:03:51
Speaker
You were talking about the the the movie series? The Rapture. Rapture, yes. yeah Oh, yeah. So, my thing... Okay. So, my thing, if for those of you who haven't seen it, the first movie um starring Kirk Cameron, it's about the Rapture, and people are raptured, and that's fine, but you You know, people are raptured without their clothes, as you would think, because humans are... But the clothes that are left behind, no pun intended, I remember they are perfectly folded.
00:04:23
Speaker
So you get raptured, your clothes drop, and they're perfectly folded. Which doesn't make any sense. Your clothes are perfectly folded if it's raptured? Yeah, yeah and the movie. Okay, because that makes sense. They would find...
00:04:36
Speaker
Yeah, which here's the problem. One, why would God care about your clothes being folded? But two, if they're folded, they're folded by um by ah what what's what's the term I'm thinking of by a spiritual intervention, if you will, of how to fold your clothes, which means that God has a specific way of folding pants and a shirt, according to this movie.
00:05:02
Speaker
So there's like a spiritual dry cleaners kind of thing that's up there. Yeah. God knows the best way how to fold a shirt in the movie left behind. Okay. So I can get behind that. Sure.
00:05:15
Speaker
Is that weird that that's where my, like as a kid watching it, I think it's weird that we started off this way
Technical Issues and Sound Quality
00:05:21
Speaker
today. Yeah. That's, that's a, Wow. But I like it. yeah I like it a lot.
00:05:26
Speaker
This, let me just say for the audience, this is take two. Cause you know, there's not a day goes by that. We don't have at least one technical issue. yeah We were talking about green day and earth went in fire.
00:05:36
Speaker
And now we're talking, that was in the first. yeah I'm not sure which better actually. we're talking about God. Yesterday was the 21st day of September. Yeah. That that's where, yeah. Oh yeah. That's how we got into it. So we got into that. Oh man.
00:05:51
Speaker
yeah but one day One day we'll figure out the ah sound quality shit. One day we'll figure it out. Yeah, we'll we'll put that on a bonus feature. Ooh, bonus feature. I like it.
00:06:02
Speaker
I like it a lot. I like it a lot. What is that from? What is that from? Varsity Blues, I want to say? Is it?
00:06:13
Speaker
I don't know. Maybe? know that reference. ah You know, it's a reference. Bring it. I don't want your life. That's from Varsity Blues. OK, that's Varsity Blues.
00:06:24
Speaker
um Was a something that I say that no one ever gets, but maybe you get it where I'll be. I don't know what the context would be, but the phrase where I go like hit me.
00:06:38
Speaker
Come on. Oh, that's the mom that from my brother and me. Yes. My brother and me. Yes. Yeah. My brother and me. Yeah. that You go up. The older brother is giving you tell you go up to the bully and you go, you say, hit me, hit me.
00:06:50
Speaker

00:07:01
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. I remember. It was into like the Helga Pataki kind of relationships. Yeah. um helga pataki now there's there's one the one that got away man yeah but ah i actually had a dream of my brother in me thought i thought you said you had a dream about helga pataki i'm like go on feel like i feel like you were having a helga moment where you're about to take a locket out of your shirt and then some guy was going to be behind you oh
00:07:31
Speaker
try Yeah. But I had a dream of the show, my brother and me that I booked a co-star on it. And I was in Orlando and I booked a co-star and I remember being on set of my brother and me and it was the coolest dream ever. How old were you? So you had this dream? 23, 24. I was probably like 27 or something like the show has been way past.
00:07:54
Speaker
That's hilarious. It's so we cool. that Random. That would have been cool. Yeah. and It would be cool. And I remember like on set and my my perspective of the set wasn't just the show. It was like I saw behind the scenes.
00:08:09
Speaker
I remember getting on a shuttle that was driving me around to the soundstage. Like it was like it was awesome. It was knowing my fat ass. I probably would have gone to the food table. That's where I would have gone.
00:08:20
Speaker
Well, you know, we all end up crafty at some point. Yeah. So good. So I would have got some push pops and ring push. stops Yeah.
00:08:30
Speaker
What other what other 90s candy ring. But yeah, anyway, I remember that dream vividly and it was awesome. don't know how we got on the top of my. brain No, that's great. We have so many topics to talk about today, though.
Gaming Interests: Minecraft and Fortnite
00:08:44
Speaker
Yeah.
00:08:44
Speaker
Yeah. Things that we talk about. In fact, there's one in particular that, you know, as far as we're talking about things that were, you know, popular for us, fans, shows. But one of the things that I always wanted to get into, but I'm kind of scared because I feel like I'd get addicted to it, is Minecraft.
00:09:03
Speaker
Minecraft. OK, my I've never I've yet to play Minecraft, but I've considered. filming my first time which just sounds weird but filming my first time for everyone to see i want everyone to see it's like a three second video if it's your first time even your 17 000 time it's like a four second video i mean yeah i'm gonna last a minute in minecraft for my first time oh my god hey props to you on that minute buddy that's great Yeah, that and Fortnite.
00:09:35
Speaker
i have I have yet to play, but I want to. I've seen my nephew play these games, but yeah I've never played them. i If there's any Minecraft fans or Fortnite fans, tell me, what advice do you have for someone like me who has yet to play it?
00:09:51
Speaker
Because I think, like especially Fortnite, I'm going to start the game and get immediately killed because everyone's an expert. so But I want to play, you know? Is there... You know, what like, what do where do I go? I don't know if I want to play.
Rejection and Bitterness towards Minecraft
00:10:03
Speaker
I think i think I'm good. I think I'll sit this one out. most of a little bitter towards my I'm also a little bitter towards Minecraft.
00:10:11
Speaker
brit Whoa, okay. A little bitter. Why's that? So... Alright, so it's nothing it's nothing personal with the game. It's nothing personal with anybody. It was just... um So they had a premiere here in New York.
00:10:25
Speaker
Alright? And... They dressed a bunch of actors up like Jack Black's character with the sweater, beard. Steve. Yeah, Steve. My name is Steve. They dressed him up as Steve. They put him in the wig, the beard. People paraded around the Times Square area dressed up as this character.
00:10:49
Speaker
I met with the the casting guy. i was all set to do it. And then he asked me my measurements. Everything was fine.
00:11:01
Speaker
My legs were too short. The waist was fine, but but like I'm five foot four. I am short to begin with, and it is because my legs are very short.
00:11:13
Speaker
So it looks a little funny. But um I actually kind of look like a smaller Jack Black. It's actually like body type wise. It's kind of funny. So the fact that I missed out on a paycheck because of my stature, little upset about it. So I'm a little bitter towards Minecraft right now.
00:11:33
Speaker
um I would take it out on Jack Black. No, it is not Jack's fault. And you know what? I had a waging war against Jack Black. No, you're waging war against you. No. So says Ron. No, no, Jack Black is a wonderful man. No, no, no, no. He is.
00:11:48
Speaker
Loved him in Orange County. Oh, that was like Colin Hanks. Colin Hanks. Yeah. Colin Hanks. Catherine O'Hara. um Oh, Catherine O'Hara is so awesome.
00:11:59
Speaker
John Lithgow. and think it was John Lithgow. Yeah. That's a good movie. yeah Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I saw ah if you ever. know we talk. Maybe I'll save this for the Halloween special because I have a Catherine O'Hara story like Night Before Christmas.
00:12:16
Speaker
Oh, did you meet her? well well um I've run into her a few times, i which I could get into, but I made her a sandwich. I was working at Subway.
00:12:28
Speaker
I made her what she is today. So. Wow.
00:12:32

00:12:48
Speaker
The other person. I think we're older than him in Home Alone. When he was Daniel Stern. Yeah. Yeah. Daniel Stern. So, which by the way, Daniel Stern is living his best life. He really is. like Social media.
00:13:02
Speaker
He's like, he has liked a bunch of land. He's like on a farm or something like that. He's just like, happy, happy as fuck. Like, yeah, kind of jealous. Yeah. I am too. He did his big movies and he's just staying out of the public eye and I'm just on a farm. but that is That is like the dream is to like make a bunch of money, buy some house in some quiet, you know, not even a big city, go to like Vermont or something. I don't know. at Wasn't he the narrator in the original Wonder Years?

mistaken as someone? So I don't mistaken is not the right word. No, um I was told i a celebrity lookalike thing. I was working a flight recently and now I get to I get told all the time that I sound like Charlie Day.
00:15:17
Speaker
Yes. Okay. And i hear that I can hear it. I don't think so exactly, but I hear it. This one caught me off guard. I didn't know whether to be offended or take it as a compliment because I do like the actor, even though I don't like the movie that made him famous. Okay. no, I'm not talking about Forrest Gump.
00:15:39
Speaker
You're talking about A.I., um'm no and no I'm not even talking about AI, but that was good, though. um Yeah, I was told I look like he the the guy comes up to me and i had to be nice to him.
00:15:51
Speaker
um He was a young guy. Bruce Willis comes up to you and he's like, oh, my God, Haley. Young guy. He was he's in the Navy. He was actually on his way to Bahrain. So, you know, ah would stay safe out there. Thank you for what you do, sir.
00:16:03
Speaker
And he says to me, he's like, you ever seen Happy Gilmore 2? Yeah. You looked like that one guy with the beard. I'm like, Haley Joel Osment.
00:16:14
Speaker
He goes, yeah, you kind of look like him. I'm like, oh, I like him. Thanks. He goes in the back of the room and I'm like, no, I don't.
00:16:26
Speaker
His eyes are maybe a little. I don't know. I mean, i guess when you make a vi short of this, do like a cut of Haley Joel Osment next to me or something. yeah ah Yeah. um I'll put Haley Joel Osment next to your face right now.
00:16:39
Speaker
Oh, God. Well, you could have been like, well, I don't think I look like him. I'm about to see dead people right now. you know't I do not like that movie. I do not like The Sixth Sense.
00:16:50
Speaker
Why, Ron? why Why don't you like Crumble Cookie, which is delicious, and The Sixth Sense? Yeah. Tell me why. Talk to me. I'm going to get a notepad and pen. So we've we've discussed Crumble on a previous episode. So, yeah. um We have.
00:17:05
Speaker
Yeah, we have. If you remember. I remember. I remember. I'm Amber. No, I do not like The Sixth Sense for the simple reason I was so into it.
00:17:18
Speaker
And then, of course, M. Night Shyamalan, the twist. Oh, boy, that he's actually dead. if you haven't... The movie's 25 You haven't seen now. Oh, And...
00:17:31
Speaker
and I was so let down because I thought that Twitter, like, that really, that was it? He's dead? That's the whole thing? Really? That wasn't as climactic for me as it should have been. No, it was just kind of like, really?
00:17:45
Speaker
were you expecting? like I don't know. so i really don't know what I was expecting. i Like, Halo Jo Osmond was the dead kid the whole time That kind of would have been more fun, i think. But I, normally I like M. Night's work. I like his stuff, you know.
00:18:00
Speaker
But, all right. Yeah, that one really...
M. Night Shyamalan Film Critique
00:18:06
Speaker
Unbreakable is fantastic. Yeah, that was a... That's probably my favorite one of his movies.
00:18:13
Speaker
Actually, I love the twist at the end, which isn't like a huge like I don't know if you'd call it a twist, but it was like a realization. That's the word I was going to use realization. Yeah. Yeah. Where spoilers um at the end, you discover that Samuel Jackson ah is I didn't put two and two together, but he's essentially a supervillain.
00:18:35
Speaker
Yeah. Time. and and And when he says like, oh, they used to call me Mr. Glass or whatever. I was like, that's when it hit me. And i'm like, that is so a supervillain name. Yeah, that's a supervillain name.
00:18:47
Speaker
Like, that's what hit me. So it wasn't really a twist. It was like, oh, shit. Like, he's totally a supervillain. I didn't realize it the whole time. Like, that was great. That was great. And I didn't see any of the other two movies.
00:18:58
Speaker
though There was the one afterwards I saw, the like the sequel kind of thing. What was it called? It was Split. That one was Split and Glass. I think I think I don't know if saw I saw one of them and it was OK.
00:19:09
Speaker
Not as nothing was as good as the original. Nothing. Right. Right. Yeah. And I haven't really seen his most recent. Like there's the people that were getting old on a beach or something. I haven't seen. No, I haven't seen that one yet either. no And I was one of. a new Yeah, I think he got a lot of shit for when he did the last airbender.
00:19:29
Speaker
Yeah, I did see that. Yeah, I mean, I've tried to watch it. and i'm as I love the cartoon. Avatar The Last Airbender is probably one of the best. One of the best. card It's like that and Batman the Animated Series are some of the best cartoons ever. it's just It's just pure entertainment.
00:19:44
Speaker
You know, it's just it keeps you captivated. Yeah. Like if I ever get a cat again, I'm naming it Appa. Like that that's that nice. But ah um yeah, I do like his work, but I haven't seen any of his recent stuff.
00:19:58
Speaker
um I'm halfway through. i watched it last night. Some of it. um It's ah long legs. Have you seen long legs? No, I haven't. Okay. I'm literally at the midpoint and then I was getting sleepy and I fell asleep because the baby got sleepy. I got, I had an edible and fell asleep. Oh, I wish I could do those.
00:20:21
Speaker
Oh, you should. I can't. You can't when you work for the airlines. You can't buddy. Oh, I thought it was like a genetic disorder. no. no This is like don't ever come to California.

00:20:48
Speaker
He wasn't what we do in the shadows because he was also in the boys. Was he in both shows? I don't know. I don't. I think I saw. don't. I've seen some of what we do in the shadows. I know my wife watched the boys. Yeah.
00:21:02
Speaker
But yeah, cause ha I don't want. No, I think Haley Joe Osmond gets killed in what we do in the shadows and then comes back as a zombie. I think that's the bit. Oh, OK. I think that's. Yeah.
00:21:13
Speaker
OK. But yeah, don't know those guys. I don't think look like you know what. No, no, you don't. No, he's way better looking. So ah he... How dare you? how How dare you say those things to me, you bastard?
00:21:29
Speaker
That's a little, ah bringing back the 90s, little Rocko's Modern Life reference. Do you remember when Rocko... I know Rocko has a lot of like adult humor, but there was one where they tackled racism. What?
00:21:40
Speaker
I love that show. There was always that... um Well, okay. So first of all, I got how dare you from there was like a hippo character and she was like, oh, that's right. And I think that was ah Charlie Adler is the voice actor that did that. Yeah.

And I'm like, well, I'm mom. It's they're both double penetration. It's both. you know it's It's for you to interpret. Dealer's choice. yeah Who are we to ruin that? That fantasy. Awkward conversations with my mother. Episode one. Yeah.
00:25:41
Speaker
Jesus Christ. Yeah. Yeah, I felt the same way when I was talking to my pastor. I was trying to get him to listen. And um just kidding. Oh, God.
00:25:52
Speaker
Here comes the. Actually, yeah I did. i did actually have. This is true. um So I used to draw comics in high school and.
00:26:03
Speaker
I did like this little like. like There was like a comic like character that I used to draw, and then my friends would draw. like We all had our own characters. In fact, you know what?
00:26:15
Speaker
Hold the phone. I'm going to get something. Hold on. I have to hold the phone, so I'm holding the phone. Oh, God. Where is it? I can't find it.
00:26:26
Speaker
Hold on. Hold on. Where is it? I have no idea what you're looking for. like sounded like my first time. i can't find it Yes. ah Anyway, I found something else. um So we used to do this. We used to do this cartoon that we called FU2 TV.
00:26:44
Speaker
And it was basically. Sorry, say that again. FU2 TV. FU2 TV. And we had all these like stick people characters. And we used to draw it. And and this was my ah for those of you who are just listening to audio. I'm sorry.
00:26:57
Speaker
But if on video you could see that was my character. That was my buddy Steven, my buddy Joe, my buddy Sean. um And we had all these like stick people characters. And so we would just like instead of passing around notes, we would pass around like comics and we would like draw and we'd go on adventures and we got in trouble one time because we did it all in one book and you know it can get kind of violent because we were into Dragon Ball Z at the time and do you remember Miss Tucker is it Miss Tucker I never had her as a teacher but I remember the name Well, she got it and she took the book away and I had to go up to her.
00:27:31
Speaker
and Well, yeah, because our whole thing was like first day of school to last day of school. We're going to fill up this notebook with like one long adventure comic. And we had so much. That's pretty cool. 180 days of comics. Like, that's pretty cool, actually.
00:27:43
Speaker
Yeah, it was it was really fun. And but she took it like halfway through the year and had to grab it from her. after school and she had she tried to have this like serious talk with me of like there's a lot of violent stuff in this that i could report and i'm like it's like here people fighting with swords we're like fighting with swords what was popular back then i don't know it was final fantasy like there's there's a lot of violence nowadays well you know it's always been violence Well, yeah. Wait, wait for you. Wait, wait. and The Crusades. Let's talk about that. Yeah, exactly. Jesus. I mean, but I mean, I guess they had that was their job. They had to protect, quote, unquote, the students kind of thing. So.
00:28:28
Speaker
But I was going about something. I didn't mean to dip into my. Yeah, I don't know. You talked about your. where did it When did I start? I was talking about Rocco. What was it? What was I getting into? You said FU2.
00:28:40
Speaker
before that why do I even bring this up I don't know are you okay buddy brought it up for a reason I brought it up for a reason oh you see the imperfections of humans see I am losing my mind I don't know what I say talked about Rocco we talked about yeah i don't know where you're going with that going Rocco drew comics you do comics
00:29:10
Speaker
Uh, well, Heffer's a steer. he is. He's a steer. Oh, Rick and Morty. Rick and Morty. We're getting somewhere. You started doing the Rick.

00:29:35
Speaker
You're like, oh, but I did this FU2 comic, FU2 TV. I'm like, okay, what's that? And hold on, hold it. Hold the phone. then I held my phone like this. And then you went to go get it and you explained how you and your friends used to pass little comic love notes to each other. and Damn it, Ron, I don't remember.
00:29:56
Speaker
it My mother told my mother what DP was and... That's right. Yeah. I like that. Please don't ever say that again. Oh, I'm sorry. i There's a delay. like it when you tell your mom about DP. Oh, yeah. I like that. Yeah.
00:30:11
Speaker
Don't say the cream thing. That's weird now. Now it's getting weird. Oh, it's getting weird. Anyway, whatever. Whatever. I'll change this off. If think of go back to it, buddy. All right.
00:30:23
Speaker
If I do, um this is actually my first ever pitch Bible. For those of you who don't know. pitch Bible. So a pitch Bible is what you do when you ah when you want to pitch a TV show.
00:30:35
Speaker
So this is what I made this in high school. This is like I made in high school. So you wouldn't actually do this today. But it's basically like character designs, which restrict people, ah what your show is about.
00:30:47
Speaker
And so this I made. And I remember I brought this to Megacon. And I gave it to, I forget his name, but the man who does the who did the voice of Space Ghost.
00:30:58
Speaker
ah Space Ghost Coast to Coast. I forget his name. Because I didn't know anything about pitching TV shows. um And so I went up to his table at Megacon.
00:31:09
Speaker
ah Oh, George Lowe. George Lowe. Which I think there was a rumor that he lived in Brooksville, which I think is not true. But um anyway...
00:31:22
Speaker
I would be, I would accept this. Yeah. Actually, he might have because he was born in Dunedin and died in Lakeland. So. okay. Actually.
00:31:33
Speaker
Oh, you know what? I'm on his Wikipedia now. It says, Lowe grew up in nearby Brooksville. Born in. Oh. and He went to Hernando High School. Holy shit.
00:31:45
Speaker
Everybody went to Hernando High School. Except us. No, we didn't. Yeah. ah all the All the famous people go to Hernando High. Well, I actually thought he. Sorry, go on.
00:31:56
Speaker
For those of people that don't know, Hernando High is the oldest high school in Hernando County. It's been around for, I think, over 100 years at this point. Wow. um Well, he. ah Oh, he died this year.
00:32:08
Speaker
actually thought he died like in an operation 1889.
00:32:13
Speaker
Wow, I actually thought he died a while ago or like a couple of years ago. OK, well, anyway, I went up to him and he was so nice because I didn't know shit about I, you know, I'm like, how am I supposed to pitch a TV show to studios? So I brought this little binder and then I went to um i went to like a panel of like how to pitch a TV show panel.
00:32:32
Speaker
And I remember I talked to, I think, I don't know this for a fact, because I'm about to talk some shit. um So i don't want I don't want to say this and then it's the wrong guy. Oh, here we go. i I swear it was like the showrunner of Clarissa Explains It All.
00:32:46
Speaker
I think it was that guy. I don't know for sure. My memory, as you could tell from this episode, i yeah to fucking worried about it can fizzle out. Yeah. um But I just remember going up to him, showing him that binder.
00:32:59
Speaker
And he looked at me and he's just like, you would never bring this to pitch. Like kind of stern. Oh, God. Not in a like, oh, hey, man, like this is a great job. Give up now.
00:33:14
Speaker
Yeah. It was like a you got it wrong. Try again. Bucko. That's how it felt. And he gave, he gave no advice. Yeah. Yeah.
00:33:24
Speaker
Anyway, since then I've, I've had the opportunity in my life pitch things before. And you know what? It's not exactly this, but it's pretty similar. I don't go into a binder anymore. It's not like this, but I want to go to that guy and be like, Hey,
00:33:40
Speaker
It's not that different. It's not that different. So whatever. ah for um'm over For those of you listening and who live in the Burbank area, please give Rob a hug. If you see him, he seems like I'm in a mood.
00:33:53
Speaker
You are in a mood that worse than last week. Uh, Yeah, I am. You know, I'm in a mood today. i can't remember stories that I wanted to tell you that were really important. I'm going to listen um we'm going to listen back to this episode, and I'm going to be really angry with myself.
00:34:09
Speaker
So anyway, next on topic, are roller skating rinks still cool or creepy? Going down our list of topics.
00:34:20
Speaker
Roller skating rinks. You remember going to the roller skating rink as a kid, right? It was the best thing to do. It was but the Friday nights in middle school. You go to the roller skating rink. And I only had like one cool shirt. So I wore the same shirt every Friday because all my other shirts were like not cool enough. It was like flame head or whatever.
00:34:42
Speaker
And it was it was a great like a silver Jenko jeans T-shirt. That is cool. It was fucking awesome, but it was the only like going out kind of cool shirt I had. So after a while, people were like, you wear that shirt every Friday. I'm like, I don't have any money.
00:35:02
Speaker
Please. You don't have any money. Our school was middle school was like that sometimes. Yeah. I feel like our school was split between rich kids and not rich kids. It kind of was. Um, middle, middle school obviously is tough for everybody.
00:35:16
Speaker
Middle school is just tough years. I, um, i was And to this day, i i like the guy now, but pretty much throughout most of middle school and high school, I did not like this person. Was his name Robert Dunn?
00:35:30
Speaker
No, his name was not Robert Dunn. I wore this alien shirt on the first day of sixth grade. Obviously, there's trauma here because I fucking remember it. And the next week, that Monday, it was clean. I picked it out of the drawer. I wore it again.
00:35:48
Speaker
Somebody came up to me. I'll tell you later. And he said to me, you know, you were type it. No, no, we won't. No, not going to a typing thing. so We know stuff that you don't.
00:36:00
Speaker
Um, he says to me, he's like, didn't you wear that shirt last week? I'm like, yeah. And that's how I knew what table I was going to be sitting at for the rest of middle school. No, I had a lot of friends in middle school, but yeah.
00:36:14
Speaker
Um, that To this day, i mean, I like the guy, but I'm... I think he's humbled out a little bit now, but now I'm just kind of like... You know, at the time, now I have more of a...
00:36:27
Speaker
I have more courage and self-confidence. I probably would have just punched him in the face. Then now I'm just kind of or I would have told him to go fuck himself. Now, then I was just kind of like, yeah, what's the deal?
00:36:40
Speaker
Yeah. And that kid grew up to be Tom Ford. No, no, he did not. No, he did not. okay No, he did not. Oh, that's too bad. ah Well, I remember going to the ah ski I went to Suncoast. Oh, yeah.
00:36:56
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, I could. Okay. yeah, yeah. I can see that. Like I said, I like the guy now, but yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yes. There's been a switcheroo with likeness. Yes.
00:37:07
Speaker
i Anyway, I don't want to leave the people in the dark. Yeah, no. It's called growing up and maturing. Yeah, and this person is definitely not Tom Ford.
00:37:18
Speaker
So anyway, ah the the you went to Suncoast. Suncoast skating rink. Yeah, Suncoast skating rink near County Line. Yes. Near County Line Road. was on the Hernando County side.
00:37:31
Speaker
Other side was Shady Hills. Yeah. Yeah. That's where I went to. And that was really cool. um Well, I asked the question, is it cool or creepy? I say it's cool. However, I just remember one time. I don't think this place is open anymore. I think it's shut down.
00:37:47
Speaker
But we're in l L.A. and in North Hollywood. Maybe it's still around. Actually, i haven't checked. There was a skating ring that I went to with friends and it was like kind of like a retro night out. It's like, oh, let's go to a skating ring, you know, and there was a guy waiting in line for it to open.
00:38:05
Speaker
And he was like, I'm going to say you just look creepy. He was just like an older guy and there's nothing wrong. Like and he was by himself, but he was waiting in line, holding his roller skates barefoot.
00:38:18
Speaker
outside, like oh on the street, waiting to get in. Like he had this like smirk on his face. Like he's just unaware of how awkward this is. Like I, and then I'm like, did you put on the skates? No socks? Just like, and then inside when we all got in, it was just him,
00:38:38
Speaker
skating by himself. And here's the thing. Did he do anything wrong? No, no guy didn't do anything wrong. Everything I just said did nothing wrong, but it was so weird to see like just waiting outside barefoot and then skating it by yourself. And I don't know. It was just, I've never, it was the only creepy thing can remember.
00:38:58
Speaker
And this was at... I was with my dad for the weekend, and this was at a skating rink in, like, Wesley Chapel or Zephyr Hills, Florida. This is, like, 98, 99, 2000, around that time period. Mm-hmm.
00:39:10
Speaker
yo-yos were very popular back then. Yeah, yeah, I had some. yeah I had some yo-yos, too. And there was a guy there trying to, like, show kids his yo-yos and stuff like that. That sounds really bad.
00:39:25
Speaker
But, like, hu you know, he was... showing off yo-yos to kids. And i think back and I'm like, here's a dude in a white suit by himself showing yo-yos to young boys.
00:39:41
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Luckily, I wasn't great with the yo-yo, so he didn't really have much of my... yeah I guess I wasn't his type, but... Yeah. Yeah. not into the Haley-Jo Osmond types. No, I guess not.
00:39:57
Speaker
So, yeah, it was just kind of... but So, in that sense, it's creepy. Yeah. In that sense, it's creepy, but...
Nostalgia for Arcades and Claw Machines
00:40:06
Speaker
like I think roller skitty rings are fun.
00:40:08
Speaker
I think there are too. And, um, they're always, maybe out of style a little bit, but you know, they're definitely fun. Yeah. I even like going to, if you go to like a, an, an old, old arcade where they haven't updated anything, there's something about it. I like that. It's not updated.
00:40:28
Speaker
ah Same thing, like there used to be a movie theater when, ah back when I used to live in Sherman Oaks, there was a movie theater that was like old, had like a balcony.
00:40:39
Speaker
And I think they used it in this new season of Stranger Things. That's it's not out yet. Oh, cool. You see it in the trailer. like a really quick shot of a movie theater. That was a movie theater that I could walk to back in the day. And it was so cool. It was like, nothing was updated at that. Like, I don't know. I like the old smells, like but carpet the carpet. Yeah. The smells. Exactly. You can, I can smell the arcade as we're talking about it. Like I can smell the coins meeting the electricity. I can smell. it Yeah, exactly. Oh, good. So I love all that retro stuff.
00:41:14
Speaker
but And it's still somewhat popular. It seems like they try to bring like newer concepts or newer. Like I walked past something recently and it was just ah it was just this giant space of claw machines.
00:41:25
Speaker
I'm not sure if this was in like. Oh, if this was somewhere in comeback. Yeah, they are. They really are. um And I think I think i have to. It's either the Japanese or the Koreans that are kind of bringing them back.
00:41:37
Speaker
Yeah, there's an arcade near me where most of it is these like almost mini claw machines. there and Yeah. It's all us all just little trinkets and stuff. And I'm like, who is really... Is this really that popular? like i don't know.
00:41:52
Speaker
It's... I mean, it's kind of cool. I mean, you know, um i like our parents grew up with claw machines and stuff like that, or, you know, Anson, you know, they there they were fun. And when you get a fun prize or you, you make that girl really happy because you got the big teddy bear from the claw machine or whatever. Yeah. I mean, they're fun.
00:42:10
Speaker
They're fine. Well, now see online that they do a lot of like cheat codes. If you do it this way, you do the the manufacturer's reset. You can do whatever you want kind of thing. oh yeah I'm like, yeah. I'm like, I don't have the patience to try that.
00:42:23
Speaker
I barely remember you know Sega Genesis codes. I'm not going to go play claw machine codes right now. I'll have to look in how to hack a claw machine so I can get a McDonald's toy for free. oh yeah. That's what I'm going to do.
00:42:35
Speaker
Yeah. But overall, I think there's they're still pretty cool. Yeah, I think so, too. um yeah Well, because we can. We can. ah I had heard that we have a few listener questions.
00:42:50
Speaker
We do have some. pen We want to do penetrating questions now. Yeah, let's do it right now.

Can you? Yeah. Yes. The answer is yes. Okay, great. Thank you. um This is from... I love how people do use fake names.
00:43:51
Speaker
This one is from Bobby Boucher. Oh, wow. Yes. All the way from Louisiana, Bobby Boucher. That's... Wow.
00:44:02
Speaker
What is your favorite soda? And if it's not raspberry, why? Hmm. I didn't even know there was a raspberry soda to begin with.
00:44:13
Speaker
I think this is, i have an idea who this is. I've kind of narrowed it down to four people who could have wrote this. Um, um, When I was a kid, i was obsessed, like seventh grade, eighth grade.
00:44:27
Speaker
I maybe even high school, maybe even ninth grade. I was obsessed with Walmart's raspberry soda. Oh, it was actually really, really good. And like friends would buy me two liters and I would just walk around with a two liter all like at a house party or like a sleepover.
00:44:43
Speaker
Um, I would love to see these tapes again, but there's a,
00:44:49
Speaker
I think i there's there's a tape of me walking around about talking about how much, mind you, sober kid, ah talking about how much I love raspberry soda. And it just goes on this whole tangent. Like there's there's one thing I did. I'm like, i have a cup and I'm holding a cup.
00:45:08
Speaker
I'm like, where's the raspberry soda? It's all gone. It was in here. It's not here. You know why? cause i ate it all And I said, it's I said eight instead of drink. And I don't, it just, so I don't know where that is. If who if whoever did that, my favorite soda is not raspberry soda though. That is not. Well, how old were you when you did that?
00:45:30
Speaker
Anywhere between 13 to 15. Okay. Okay. okay Yeah. I was a kid. So it's not your favorite though. No, it was when I was a kid. Now my favorite soda.
00:45:42
Speaker
Ooh. Ah, yes. That is my favorite. So it depends on what I'm doing, but my overall favorite soda right now is probably... don't leave us hanging, Ron. The orange vanilla... Spit out.
00:45:53
Speaker
The orange vanilla Coke. That is probably my favorite soda right now. If I go to a movie theater, my wife and I always share a cherry Coke together. Okay. So that's kind of it. um Orange vanilla, does that come off like a... What is that, like push pop?
00:46:09
Speaker
It's kind of like a creamsicle meets a Coca-Cola. And it's pretty goddamn delicious. Okay, okay. Pretty goddamn delicious. You know, i don't know what mine is.
00:46:23
Speaker
i So I've been on a Diet Coke kick. Not saying it's my favorite, but I feel like Diet Coke has made a comeback. And I've heard people refer to it as ah fridge cigarette.
00:46:35
Speaker
A fridge cigarette? That's fucking... Yeah, like refrigerator cigarette. I need to get my Diet Coke. It's bad day for me, honey. yeah For real, though, like there are times where I'm just like, oh man, what a day. I need a cigarette. But my cigarette's a Diet Coke. Donald Trump drinks a shit ton of Diet Cokes, doesn't he?
00:46:54
Speaker
He's a huge Diet Coke fan. He has like, like, like, Oh, he has a button for it. Yeah. thats Allegedly. Yeah. It's crazy. Like Diet Coke really has, maybe he's part of it to do that with that. Actually. Um, yeah, it's, it's like, there's, there's a guy online. He's like, I think he's from Staten Island. He does a lot of very Italian guy.
00:47:12
Speaker
He he's obsessed with Diet Coke. Um, uh, what You know what's why not just make a dispenser for him? Why a button? Unless it's a power trip where I want someone to. Those are our tax dollars, sir. The button's a lot easier. As long as it's not close, close to the major button.
00:47:29
Speaker
It's okay. Let him have all the Diet Cokes he wants. that's That's how we'd probably sell. He's like, hey, it's cheaper. It's a lot cheaper than... It's a lot cheaper than doing this. You got it. yeah I can't do a Trump impression. Bernie Sanders, said they all bring him his Cokes. Not me. I hit a button and I get a Coke. I I love to diet. don't drink diet Cokes. They're not my favorite.
00:47:53
Speaker
I'm more of a Birch. Because I'm from Vermont, I'm more of a Birchbeer fan, okay? Yeah. Yeah, definitely some Larry David in there, too. ah They are related.
00:48:04
Speaker
Did you know that? They are. Yeah, I did. They are distantly related. Yeah, which is hilarious because he has that Brooklyn thing as Jiminy Glick, which never left it. Yeah. Yeah, I love that. But ah yeah, so Diet Coke. i yeah I don't know. I mean, Diet Coke's OK. I'd rather go for a Coke Zero than a Diet Coke.
00:48:20
Speaker
Maybe Dr. Pepper. if i Dr. Pepper. Yeah. Yeah. Like the, the orange vanilla is kind of a specialty thing. I feel like Dr. Pepper is probably my top soda. Absolutely. Yeah. And, and I bet you're getting it from that Coca-Cola machine. That's all touchscreen and you're picking.
00:48:36
Speaker
I mean, Mr. Pipp is also equally is as good. Right. Mr. Pipp. Okay. But they went a little crazy with. Yeah. Oh yeah. I've used that. I love that. It's like too power. like too much power It's a lot. Yeah, it's a lot. it's It's really, you're just kind of controlling the soda. It's like, I don't know.
00:48:55
Speaker
I want some. They don't even give a nice button. You ever see the water button? Everything else has a nice logo. Water is like an aerial font in the corner. It's like, if we don't give a fuck about this. Look, he's not, he's in the corner. He's not even with them Every once in a while, I'll say like Dasani or something like that. But really, it's just water.
00:49:12
Speaker
Just water. Water. I'm just water. you're from New Jersey, or parts of New Jersey, water. Mm-hmm. Wooder? yeah Yeah. Some of my cousins actually pronounce it Wooder.
00:49:24
Speaker
Wooder. Wooder. Like, got this rage in Wooder. She wouldn't go away. ah
00:49:31
Speaker
Sorry. I believe you. I believe you. ah Well, that's the answer to the soda question. Thank you, Bobby. Thanks, Bobby. Thank you, Bobby. bohe Thanks, Bobby.
00:49:42
Speaker
We have another question from Alan Parsons. Alan Part? What? Like from the project? talent I don't know. is that ah is that and Is that a name? Could be a name. Could be an alias. I don't know.
00:49:57
Speaker
um Well, Alain says... Oh yeah, it's spelled with two L's. That's weird. Yeah. Well, hey, Alan, you know, we appreciate you, ah you know, you know, writing in. So Alan asks, my son is going to graduate high school this year. Congratulations.
00:50:16
Speaker
um He doesn't want to go to college. He wants to take some time first and figure it out. I told him to apply for colleges anyway in case he changes his mind. He has good grades, so i am not worried about him getting accepted.
00:50:32
Speaker
Should I be okay with him taking some time off to figure it out or push him to go?
Taking a Break Before College
00:50:36
Speaker
I would say it's so i would say it's okay to take some time. I think we're talking about, I mean, you know, I'm going to assume that whatever major he chooses, obviously this doesn't happen for everybody, but the major this that your son chooses is going to be the career they want permanently.
00:50:56
Speaker
So that's a big decision. um i don't know how much time he needs. Some people take a year off. Like I, I'm someone like, I'll give an example from me.
00:51:07
Speaker
I am someone who jumped into college immediately after high school. It was like barely any time in the middle. And I went for animation and game design.
00:51:18
Speaker
And which is because I used to make cartoons on a cycle new grounds back in the day, which can still be found on the website. I'm not going to link anyone to it, but ah maybe in the future I will.
00:51:30
Speaker
But I don't do that now. And so that's not my life anymore. Yeah, that's the old me. I'm the new me now. I mean, I still got into the arts, if you will, as an actor. But I think, you know, my little story was i was going for animation and I realized I cared more about the people doing the voices of cartoons, the people who are writing the show rather than doing the animation myself.
00:51:57
Speaker
And that's how I discovered, like, hey, maybe I want to get into film or something like that. So would I have changed if I gave myself some time to think, which was totally my decision. My parents didn't push me. It was totally me just being like, I want to get ahead of the game. I want to get into school right away so that I can blah, blah, blah. um So I think it's okay.
00:52:16
Speaker
Letting your son take a breather again. I wouldn't say like, Hey, take three years off, like figure it out. You know, don't, don't like kick them to the curb, like get into school right away. Especially. It sounds like your kids like has but got a good head on his shoulders, right?
00:52:31
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. So, um, yeah. If he's been this smart now with his grades, uh, I think probably going to be okay. Yeah. I, um, yeah as for me, I went, I didn't go to college. I went to an acting conservatory, so I did not go to the traditional route because I wanted to be an actor.
00:52:52
Speaker
so then after that, I took a little, a little time off a couple of years off and then I went to an actual college. I went to the new school. And I did some semesters there, you know, continued learning improv, acting, film classes, things like that.
00:53:07
Speaker
Um, and then i was like, oh shit, school's really fucking expensive. So I dropped out because um I had like a 3.8 GPA. Like I dropped out now. I could, I go back. Sure.
00:53:20
Speaker
But school's expensive. So I dropped out. Um, I, you know, I've done fine. Do I want to go back? Not really, but for everything I do between standup podcasting, ah podcasting is new, obviously, being a flight attendant, like obviously like you don't, you can always take classes and learn more as a flight attendant. You know, we, uh, you know, you go to, you go to school for it anyway, you have to get certified and then you go back every year for recertification training. So,
00:53:52
Speaker
But I think, yeah, I think he's good about that, like applying for colleges. Like, you know, do it anyway, just in case you change your mind or you're getting accepted like, I don't know, UCLA, you want to go to UCLA or something like that. Right. Yeah. I think that sounds like it's all going to work out.
00:54:11
Speaker
And I understand a concern, you know, if I let him take too long of a break, will he like basically not, you know, I guess your worst fear is that he's just going to get used to not doing anything. But if he's worked this hard to have good grades, so there's there is so there's work ethic in there. And i would I would have to give some trust to your son. Yeah. And if he does have good grades, he's probably worked hard his entire you know school career. Maybe he just wants to travel to do something to just kind of yeah get away from it all for a bit and figure out what he what he really wants to do.
00:54:45
Speaker
Or he's going to be so smart, he's going to make like a fucking app and not have to go to school. and Yeah. Yeah. I mean, but you have to you have to remember, like, it is his life at the end of the day, even though you want the best for him.
00:54:57
Speaker
It is his life. And he does have to learn to make choices. yeah yeah so to have those choices have you know repercussions yeah well good luck uh good luck to alan parsons jr um his name is yeah barson yeah right but yeah ah cool that thank you for thank you to the listeners for writing in um We're getting kind of near the end
