Speaker: Yeah, he just wanted to kill us Yeah, he just wanted to kill us Yeah, he just wanted to kill us Yeah, he just wanted to kill us Yeah, he just wanted to kill us Yeah, he just wanted to kill us Yeah, he just wanted to kill us
Speaker: This time, the real, if I follow him, then I'll follow me. And if it's been a break from the heart, then it's been a break from the start. If it's been a break from the heart, then it's been a break from the start. If it's been a break from the heart, then it's been a break from the start.
Speaker: I'm about to make it happen. What you mean, my nigga? I'm about to make it happen. Today, I met this guy. He said his name was D. He thinks that we're a lot alike, and he wants to be my friend. He ain't ready for the world. I'm ready for the world. I'm ready for the world. I'm ready for the world. I'm ready for the world. I'm ready for the world. I'm ready for the world.
Speaker: What's the name of the darlin' nigga? The best darlin' nigga? The darlin' nigga? The best darlin' nigga? The best darlin' nigga?
Speaker: No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker: What is going on, Jeff? What is up, sir? Thank you for allowing me to give a little tribute to DMX. I have to admit,
Speaker: I have to admit, uh, I did know a couple of songs. I'm a huge fan. Um, I know we missed it last week. He did pass away back on April 9th. Unfortunately it was drug overdose. Amazing artists had some, yes, he was, had some troubles in life. But, uh, outside of that, he was, uh, one of my favorite rappers back in the day. I want to do a little
Speaker: He was an amazing lyricist, to put it that way. Yes, almost every song told a story, and it was fantastic. I do love Rough Riders Anthem. That was my jam back in the day. As anti -establishment as I was. That is hype music like no other. Oh, yeah. Now you're ready to...
Speaker: party, fight, something, something's going to go down. Well, the X going to give it to you, that one too. That one's a real, I'm about to whoop somebody's ass. I'm going to psych myself up, you know? Exactly. I mean, it just, it did matter what kind of mood you were in. DMX had a song for it. So, but welcome everybody to nonsensical nonsense. Episode two. Yes, sir. Maybe this will make it a little better.
Speaker: Yes. Although every time I say episode, I feel like I'm talking about Star Wars. He's saying episode two, I get this people going, Oh fuck. Anakin's going to be pissy and moaning. Anakin, I only know the original three. So you had, uh, Luke and his sister making out.
Speaker: Right. Well, they didn't make out. It was one kiss. And it was like, they were technically about ready to die. They're going to catapult themselves across the canyon, so to speak. Yeah, but I don't think I'd make out with my sister if I was going to shoot myself across the canyon. No. I'd be like, you know what? I'm good. I'll give you a hug just in case. But yeah, let's hold off on the kissing.
Speaker: Yeah, there's a stigma there. Well, depending on where you're from, you're from down south. You know, it's more acceptable. But yeah, I think it's actually required down south that you have your first marriage has to be to your sister or first or relative somewhere.
Speaker: And we just pissed off the South, but okay. Yeah, well, they'll get over it. Yeah. They've been pissed off at us since like 1863. Yeah, well, yes, we are technically considered Yankees. Yeah. Because we are north of the Mason Dixon line. Which where the fuck? I mean, where is Mason Dixon? I mean, I've heard that term a million times. I couldn't tell you where it was.
Speaker: I have absolutely no idea what the mason dicks I mean I have a general idea what it is but I don't know where it's at that's basically where the north becomes south and south becomes north it's that border so to speak yeah I think it's like an imaginary line or some sort I don't know I can have some of my southern friends I have several friends that live down in the south my girlfriend lives in the south
Speaker: Yeah, I've had a few interesting things that we discussed earlier that we wanted to bring up, but on the subject of DMX, going back to that, how old was he? He was 50, 51. Oh, okay. Okay, so. Yeah, he was relatively young, but he had a drug overdose. He was in the hospital for a little while before he passed.
Speaker: But yeah, I mean, the poor guy, I mean, outside of being a rapper and an actor, his personal life was a mess. I mean, he was an actor. He had 15 kids. Good Lord. Well, Eddie Murphy's got that many.
Speaker: Yeah. So, I mean, but, but he had a lot of issues, drug issues, obviously, uh, he had some issues with not paying his taxes. And I think at one point in time, he got arrested for, uh, uh, impersonating a federal agent at an airport. Nice. So yeah, his personal life was a bit of a mess, but yeah, if you're going to go down for something, that's something to go down for.
Speaker: Yeah, he was definitely definitely this word gets thrown around a lot these days, but I would label him an icon in the rap industry. Oh, no, definitely. I mean, if I mean, if you know anything about hip hop, so to speak, I mean, there's three names, you know, it's Snoop Dogg, DMX and Eminem. Well, you can love it any of the West Coast rappers will be
Speaker: Yeah, NWA. I think I kind of caught you off guard earlier when I told you I was going to do that at the beginning of the show, but you didn't even realize that I listened to rap music. Yeah. But you also got to remember where we went going back to the whole school days thing. It's the reason not many people do that. I listen to rap music. Well, I mean, there was two things you almost needed to survive in high school and our high school as a
Speaker: You either had to have a truck or a badass system. Yeah. You know, I, I think, I don't think I ever drove a truck in high school. I had my Bronco. Yeah. I had, I had that, that shitty little four cylinder Mustang I loved. Oh yeah. Oh, I forgot about that. Now I remember that. Yeah.
Speaker: Always wanted I always wanted the hatchback and I still want a hatchback. They're just so rare down here. It's ridiculous Yeah, go ahead I didn't think he was a Ford guy I'm not I'm not I'm not I am I'm The most anti Ford. I mean I used to make fun of the fact that you own a Bronco however that being said I
Speaker: Am a enthusiast of all cars regardless of make However, like I'm not I'm not gonna jump in a Ford Topaz and be like, yeah, this is cool Mustangs and certain f -150s are cool You know the problem with a Mustang if you give it a little too much gas you're gonna end up in a crowd I've seen
Speaker: But an F -150, it's one of America's trucks. They're great trucks. The fact that they're aluminum now kind of freaks me out. I wouldn't drive an aluminum vehicle. It'd be all right. They're not made like they used to be. No, they're not. But they're stupid light. Yeah. Like stupid light. Oh, yeah. There's no doubt about that.
Speaker: Raptor is only a v6 It's a twin turbo v6 and still puts out I Couldn't put you a number on the horsepower, but they're and they do look kind of cool But if you say oh, I drive a v6 truck. I'm like girl You know I'm still of the I'm still not sold on Tesla. Yeah, I understand there's a
Speaker: fast and they're, they're somewhat reliable, I guess, but, but I just, there's something about getting in your vehicle, turning that key or pushing the start button, depending on what your vehicle you're in and getting that rumble. I think I grew up, you know, I don't think I ever will. That's, I think that's, that's a problem I have. Yeah. I mean, when I was younger, I was a poor guy now, now that I'm older, I'm like,
Speaker: I don't even care at this point. I got my Chevy now and I love my Chevy. It's the second Chevy I've owned and I love Chevy. I got a little Chevy cruise. Okay. Those are actually, those are actually a little hot little hatches. They're pretty quick. Oh yeah. It's got the, it's so dumb, but it's got the four cylinder turbo in it. I don't know how you turbo a four cylinder, but supposedly that's not that hard.
Speaker: Things that can be bolted on to anything you can literally turbo a lawnmower. Yeah, I wish again I'm not a car guy, but I mean they could say there's a turbo on there, and I'm like okay cool, but it it's a quick little car I mean It'll definitely surprise a lot of people without how fast it is Just a quick explanation a turbo is basically what it does is it's it's a turbine and It literally looks like a snail you know a snail shell is round like that. Mm -hmm
Speaker: And it's basically the exhaust gas gets fed into one side, spins a turbine where cold air is sucked in on the other side, and that cold air is spun up and pressurized and shoved into the intake. And it produces more power, basically. That's the novice explanation of it. I mean, it's a little bit more complicated than that. Dumb it down for me. That's the easiest way to dumb it down, literally.
Speaker: All engines, I don't care what it is, are starved for oxygen. They want more oxygen, they crave it. That's why I like if you, we'll take like your Bronco, for instance. It was carbureted, correct? Yeah, the four -barrel on it. So if you took the air filter off while the truck was running and you put your hand over top the carburetor, your hand would get sucked down. It's like a vacuum.
Speaker: Yeah, right. It sucks air in, which in inside a piston, you have four things happen almost instantaneously. You have intake, which is your air and gas, then an explosion, which shoves your piston down. And when your piston comes back up, it shoves the exhaust out another valve. That's basically how an engine works. Once again, the dumbest of dumb ways to explain it.
Speaker: And a turbo basically just shoves more air because like if you hold a firecracker in the movie Armageddon, this is explained like this. If you hold a firecracker in your hand and it goes off, you're going to burn your hand. But you take that same firecracker and close your fist as tight as you can. You're going to lose the hand. So the more explosion you put in a small area, the more power it generates. And that's what a turbo does basically.
Speaker: Welcome to Jeff's garage, the new podcast. Well, it's one of those things. It's like the, the, the, the concept of, of engines just, Oh, I couldn't, I couldn't do it myself. I understand the concept. I don't have the confidence to build it myself. This is from the guy that says he wants to build a one -off supercar. I was going to say, you, you've been talking about wanting to build that one off. You were, we were talking about that a couple
Speaker: a few months back. Well, I want to build it, but I'm going to build it in the simplest way possible. I basically want to take a, and this goes back to blaming Steve Schwartz for his influence on me. The YZF R1. I don't know if you remember when we were in high school, Steve had that YZF 600.
Speaker: Everybody freaked out about it. Cause this is a cool looking bike, but the big thing was the YZFR one, a thousand CCs, 200 horsepower and something that you can literally pick up is stupid fast. Well, 200 horsepower. I mean, they're like your cruise probably has about 200 horsepower. I couldn't tell you. I would put money on like two 10, two 15, something like that.
Speaker: So you take like a, okay. Uh, do you remember Brandon Knoblet's beetle? Okay. A Volkswagen beetle, brand new, fresh off the line, had like 50 something horsepower and they would move. I mean, it'd take a little while to get there, but they'll move. So you take 200 horsepower and put it in something of a beetle frame. You got a rocket ship. Well, according to the old Google later,
Speaker: My car has 137 to 153 horsepower. Well, there you go. So you're talking a motorcycle with more horsepower and probably the same amount of torque as your vehicle in something that weighs about as much as a beetle is what I want to build. Oh yeah, it'll be stupid dumb, but I probably, I'll probably drive it three times and go, okay, it's too fast. And then sell it.
Speaker: Um, but the, the exercise of building it is, is what I'm more interested in because I have to worry about firewalls and the wiring. I mean, every aspect of it as a one off vehicle. I mean, I'm not going to build my own a arms and stuff like that. Oh, it'll basically be bits and pieces of other vehicles modified to fit the frame. I want to build my own frame.
Speaker: And it's completely stupid and completely as nine completely pointless. And it'll probably cost me more than if I actually build a or buy a vehicle, but the whole concept, uh, I'm a real built, not bought kind of guy. Like, Oh, all righty. So I guess we had technical difficulty. Yeah. A little, little minor, major technical difficulties. I'll just, uh, run that first 20 minutes up as a part one.
Speaker: And then we'll go from there with a continuation here. So bear with us. We are new at this. I do want to point that out. And we're using a platform we're not used to. As great as the Anchor platform is, it could have been user error for all we know. It very well could have been. It's hard to say. But yeah.
Speaker: It's like I was saying, if you went out and bought a Lamborghini, yes, that's a cool car. But if I show up in a car that I 100 % built from scratch, that's cool too. Yeah, I mean, depending upon what you do with that car that you built, I mean, it's definitely going to be a lot less than a Lamborghini. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Speaker: But, uh, but yeah, it's, it's, I don't know what it is about vehicles, but they just kind of blow my mind. It's, it's one of those things. It's like, Oh, I can never get enough. Uh, they do, but a lot differently than yours because I don't know anything about the sons of bitches. Yeah. Well, it comes down to, um, you know, you're a huge sports guy and it, and it comes down to you grew up with sports.
Speaker: Like I'm sure your pops was into sports and stuff like that. You know what? Surprisingly, not really my, my, uh, I don't have many people in my family that are now, now they are, uh, but in my family that were big sports fans growing up. Okay. Um, that's just something that, I mean, I grew up, my love of sports started with baseball, uh, in the nineties. Um,
Speaker: when I might, you know, my late eighties, early nineties, uh, with the Cincinnati Reds. I mean, it was after the big red machine, but the team that they had, um, there was a couple of guys on that team that I really liked and then developed from baseball into football. And I've been a Michigan fan ever since. And I've been a Browns fan, which I'm going to go ahead and take a minute speaking of the Cleveland Browns. We saw, we finally got,
Speaker: our defensive end that we've been trying for for the last year, we signed Jadavian Clowney today, which is gonna be a nice, beautiful compliment to our other defensive end, Miles Garrett. So any of my sports fans, football fans, if you don't like the Browns and you have to come against our Cleveland Browns this year, I hope you have a backup quarterback because your quarterbacks are getting eaten alive this year. We've got a defensive line from hell right now.
Speaker: So I'm super excited for the first time in my, for the first time in my entire life of being a Cleveland Browns fan with this off season and the way they signed free agents and everything like that. And the way the team looked last year and they were able to keep everybody from the offense. I'm fucking super excited. I'm stoked for this season coming up. So I think, you know, might make a little bit of a playoff run this year.
Speaker: Uh, that's, that's awesome. We made the playoffs last year for the first time in, uh, 20 years, I think just to get screwed out of by some sorry ass referees in Kansas city. That's all right. Can't just get a taste of their own medicine when they was crying in the super bowl. Cause the refs were protecting Tom Brady. Um, but, uh, we post, I posted a picture.
Speaker: on our Facebook page, nonsensical nonsense at Facebook. And I wanted to discuss this picture. The dummy at Home Depot. Well, I'm I'm guessing it's a Lowe's because he's got a flatbed cart and it's blue. Home Depot would be orange. Tomatoes. Oh, yeah, correct. But on top of this cart, he's pulling behind him is a wheelbarrow.
Speaker: Now, my first thought was, what a moron. But I thought, well, maybe to the untrained eye, and I'm not saying I'm a trained eye, but to the non -builder guy, that makes sense. So I asked my 10 -year -old son, I said, Kevin, what's wrong with this picture? And within two seconds, he says,
Speaker: Well, that dummy's pulling a wheelbarrow on top of a cart. It's got wheels, dummy. And I don't know. My only thought was maybe he wants it like zero miles on it. I really don't understand the level of stupidity with people sometimes. It really blows my mind. But I did see in the comments
Speaker: which might be, and I used to, I worked at Home Depot for just a hot minute when I first went home to Ohio, and I never heard this policy. But in the comments, somebody said that it might be, or it was store policy that they had to take it out of the plant bed carton. I don't know if that's possible or not, but. I think it's more of a hospital thing. Like when you leave in a hospital, you know, if you've been an injury, you got to leave on a wheelchair. But, but I mean, even, even after that, as a,
Speaker: a normal human, I would put myself in that category. As soon as I'm out the door, I'm like, okay, take this thing off the fucking cart and I'm throwing it on the ground and use the wheels that came with it. So I'm probably bouncing it and everything else. Well, oddly enough, it was one of those newer wheelbarrows that's got two tires up front. So it's almost impossible to flip over from side to side.
Speaker: And that's just a, that's another dummy thing. To me, I was like, you know, having an extra wheel on your, uh, wheelbarrow. So you need training wheels to use a wheelbarrow. Training wheels on a wheelbarrow. I don't know. And it's not either. It's a heavy duty wheelbarrow.
Speaker: I think it's adding the second wheel on it, uh, is a matter of, um, convenience, making it easier. Could be a safety thing because, you know, Lord knows we live in a generation of bubble wrap and safety pillows. Yes. Because as the, as a generation that grew up running around in the, you know, playing in the Creek and, and,
Speaker: coming back because it's dark and you can't see your hand in front of your face. And that's why you knew it was time to come home drinking from the hose when you got thirsty. Yeah, exactly. Nowadays, people just don't get that concept where, you know, a helmet was a suggestion. Now it's almost a law that you need a helmet on your pedal bicycle. I mean,
Speaker: When I was a kid, my cousins before I got into high school, they were my best friends because we were all in the same thing. We would build ramps to the point where I'm not saying X Games style or anything, but we thought we were in X Games. We would jump over cars.
Speaker: We were stupid enough and no landing ramp, just flat, hard ground. And if you crashed and skinned your knee or skinned your whole side of your body, you'll walk it off. Exactly. Walk it off, throw some dirt on it, you'll be fine. Yeah, you'll be all right. Don't cry, pussy. Exactly. What was the concept? Oh, he's crying. Look at it, look at it, baby, cry head.
Speaker: You'd get that for a month. Oh yeah. And then even as an adult, you know, you'd be with those people. Hey, remember that one time you fell and scraped your knee and you cried like a little bitch. Well, I remember my cousin, Tom, uh, he actually comes on every once in a while on our live video chats that we don't have. And oddly enough, he never says anything. He just likes to listen. He's a watcher.
Speaker: He was a little bit he grew up in Chicago. And he would come down to the farm in Ohio. And I grew up on a 27 acre set of woods. And he would come down and through for the summer. And by the end of the summer, he would be going home with at least one trip to the hospital scar. I remember
Speaker: He came down one time and we got the, we had had a bonfire the night before. And, you know, with bonfires, you don't put it out with a hose. You let it burn out and then, okay, it's time for bed, which is like 6 a .m. Oh, we have time to get to bed before it was even burnt out. No, yeah. You just pass out where you fall. And we got the, we were, I think we were like 13, 12, 13, 14, something like that. And we had the bright idea to jump over.
Speaker: on barefoot, jumping over the fire pit so you could make it further. And he went to jump and stuck his whole foot directly dead center in his fire pit and then continued on. And we ended up having to go to the hospital for it, but he got back home and showed his buddies, look what I did. I'm a fucking idiot. He used to come down to Ohio to get scarred.
Speaker: And quote unquote chicks dig scars. Chicks do dig scars. That's what Jason Aldean says. It's one of those things. I mean, it's a story. I don't know if it went rampant through your grade school, but I remember, do you remember Eraser Burns? Yeah.
Speaker: I still have my left hand from where taking a pencil eraser on my skin and burning the shit out of it. Just go back and forth. Yeah, we used to do it. It was like a game of chicken. Yeah. You'd each have an eraser. You'd put your hands out and you'd like I would do the eraser on my buddy's hand and he would do the eraser. Actually, I'm looking this far right now. And then the first one to quit, you know, obviously was the loser is the pussy.
Speaker: And I still have a scar on my left hand, dead center to the top of my hand. And I remember my mother said, you're going to have that scar for life. I was like, and what's your point? Yeah. Where are you going with this, mom? I won. I win. I'm the winner. He's the pussy. He quit. He doesn't have the scar to prove it. That was the joy of growing up in the
Speaker: late eighties, early nineties is we didn't nowadays. Oh, if you're not an activist, you're, you're a shitless layabout hippie. Yeah. On something that will never affect you ever. Exactly. I understand. I understand certain things, but,
Speaker: Other things they're just not ever gonna affect you And and that's that's just that's getting into politics, but that's I Think it goes back to the whole generation thing we were talking about on episode one was generationally speaking The previous generation which will be us looks at the newest generation goes you guys are fucking idiots Where I'm sure our parents looked at us go you guys are fucking idiots. I
Speaker: Well, I don't think we're looking at this new generation and calling them idiots. I'm look, most days I look at them and call them a bunch of fucking pussies, but that's just me. Yeah. Well, yeah, it's, it's a little bit more, I mean, the, the whole, uh, that's the joy. The one, one of the joys I have a living in Mexico is my kids ride their bikes here in the complex and we don't have a helmet. We don't want pads or nothing like that.
Speaker: And my wife is not one of those people who are like, Oh my God, I have helmets. They fall to get over it. My kids are going to go up tough. Hey, you'll be all right. Yeah. You can buck it off. Rub some dirt on it. If you're bleeding, I'll use the water hose and I'll spray it off. You'll be fine. You can jump in the pool. Yeah. Jump in the pool. You'll be fine.
Speaker: Oh, I almost jumped in the pool today. It was, it was, it had to be like 90 degrees today. It was so warm. Yeah, we had all that nice, nice weather last week up here and then, oh wait, we forgot it's Ohio. So now it's like, the saying goes, if you don't like the weather in Ohio, wait a minute. Yeah. And it's, it's true, but it's, it's,
Speaker: When growing up as a kid, I was like, well, that's true everywhere, right? I was wrong, wrong, wrong. I moved down to Cancun. I'm like, Oh man, it's hot. I'm like, Oh, just wait a minute. Nope. 12 hours later, it's still hot. Yeah, exactly. And it's, it's what? 8 30 now. And it's still hot. Where I'm in shorts and a t -shirt standing up sitting in my car with the door open.
Speaker: because my wife and her friend are inside clucking. Bunch of hands. Well, they, uh, they have nicknames for each other. It's SpongeBob and Patrick because they, they are with the exception of looks, they're the same person. And when they get to laughing, they sound like the characters, SpongeBob and Patrick star. Oh Lord.
Speaker: Oh yeah. Yeah. So I was like, Oh, well I'm going to go record my podcast with my friend. But speaking of music back to the DMX thing, my wife, she listens to reggaeton. And you said, you know, you, you like a few songs. I am not a fan at all. You know, I don't know any of the artists, uh, reggaeton artists. Um,
Speaker: You're a very eclectic guy. There are some songs that I hear that I like for the life of me. I couldn't even tell you the name of the song. I just happened to hear it and I'll throw it onto my playlist and then down the road it'll come on again. I'll fuck about this song. But yeah, I listened to, I literally listened to every type of music. There's not a genre that I don't listen to and that I don't enjoy.
Speaker: I would say that's true 90 % of the time for me. But some of the songs, my wife says that if I understood the language better, because I have like 80 % capacity for understanding Spanish. And she said, if I understood it 100%, I would actually like some of these songs. And I'm just like, yeah, I don't think so. I don't understand any of it at all. And I like it. It's just
Speaker: It's catchy. It grabs my ear. So then I'm that person as well. If something's catchy, Oh, I'm in, I'm in. But if you, if you called me and say, Hey, you got to hear this song, I'm like, yeah, I'll get around to it. I'm not, I'm not going to want to Spotify and rock it out right away. Yeah, exactly. I'm not, I'm not that guy, but, uh, we did talk about adding a new section.
Speaker: to the podcast. And that is, we haven't really called a name for it, but I kind of like, I kind of like the concept of what the fuck news. Yes. What the fuck news, strange news. Most stories will probably come from Florida news. And I was thinking Canada news because one of the, the,
Speaker: I'm not a big Twitter guy, but one of the things I found on Twitter and it was found by someone else and relayed to me and it's scan BC. It's basically a scanner. Yeah. I was kind of looking at it. It's like, yeah, it's the police scanner for the, uh, uh, transcripting a scanner from the police.
Speaker: And some of them stories. What was the one I sent you? He sent me one. There was a guy that walked into a Burger King with the sword. Yeah. Let me see if I can pull it up here real quick. I think you had another naked guy walking down the street with a samurai sword. No, I think I was the same guy. Yeah, well.
Speaker: Let me see if I can pull it up here. Oh, this is just a little bit of a what the fuck news, but it's not the ScanBC. This is just the first one I'm pulling up. We talked about this. A short, I sent you the article. You know, in old movies and pirate movies, you see like the Kraken, it's these giant tentacles popping up and grabbing the ship. And you already know where I'm going with this.
Speaker: I want to go with this and I specifically did not open this and or Google it because I did not want this out of all the horrible things that I probably looked up or Googled throughout the years. This is one thing that I don't want to be on my search history when I die. And that is that the tentacles and the monsters and the sea creatures are
Speaker: essentially based off of drawings and depictions that early settlers seen and what they thought were sea creatures were actually giant whale penises because when whales mate, they actually essentially have a gangbang and it's three males to one female. So while the other males wait, they're giant
Speaker: peckers are flopping around above the water so the early travelers and stuff that's that's where they say that a lot of these sea creatures and monsters and whatnot come from which is again i did not want hilarious whale penis on my
Speaker: My Google search, I kind of broke down the story a little bit. You faded out. No, that's because I was actually looking it up. But I hesitated putting it on our Facebook page. Nonsense called nonsense on Facebook. Just a little plug there. But for the simple fact, I wanted to be a little bit of a surprise because my first thought when
Speaker: When seeing this was the image of Johnny Depp fighting that giant squid in the Pirates of Caribbean. And my first thought is that dude is surrounded by penises. Surrounded by a giant whale packer. Well, did you know when a whale comes, it is like 350 gallons of semen at a time.
Speaker: or something like this is a good, enormous amount. Is that why the sea's so salty? Exactly. That was like the next time you're in the ocean, you're like, wow, this is salty as hell. Well, now you know why. Eat some pineapples, Saramoo. Geez, you're considering faster. Damn. But, uh, one of the other stories that I sent you is, uh, the, the gentleman that he's walked, he's coming out of a,
Speaker: like a Home Depot or some store, like a Target with his wife. And he finds underneath his car, this is in Florida, a 10 foot alligator underneath his car. Now I'm not the kind of guy that would be like, holy shit. I'd be like, I want to hear that conversation because they called animal control and the police and everything. I want to be the, I want to be sitting on the side of a fly on the wall, so to speak.
Speaker: for the conversation when they call 911, they would, hey, um, this isn't necessarily an emergency. And down in Florida, I mean, that's really not that, I mean, even Charleston, we had, we had alligators and then Charleston. I mean, 10 feet, that'll, that'll, that'll eat a German shepherd. That'll eat a lot. But I mean, and I don't know what the, I don't know what they, how they,
Speaker: do things down in Florida, but in Charleston, uh, any gator found in the wild or not necessarily in the wild, but like, say for instance, yeah, where, where, where we live that at one point we had three Gators that were in the pond directly behind my house, which I never thought was all that big a deal because we had a privacy fence. And then I discovered one day that alligators can climb. So then it was like, okay, well let me,
Speaker: You know, if the kids are outside, you know, but generally, alligators are pretty docile. From my understanding, what I hear is that they're not aggressive at all, unless it's mating season. I don't know when mating season is. But down in Charleston, any gator found in a residential area or whatnot, over five feet long, and this is snout to tail, is taken to the farm. They're taken to an alligator farm where they're essentially, they're put down
Speaker: And then their meat sold to restaurants in the area. And obviously the, in their, whether it's right or wrong, uh, you know, it is what it is. That's just their, their rules and stuff in Florida or in Charleston, not in Florida, but I mean, it's not like they're going out the ponds or going out to these ponds out in the middle of nowhere and finding Gators. I mean, these are, yeah, these are in town or, or in residential areas that there, but in Florida, I mean,
Speaker: Gators are seem to be a relatively normal thing. When you first sent me that and said, Oh, I got a strange story out of photos. I thought Jesus Christ, here we go. Because I hear a lot of them. So it's gonna, it's gonna take a lot to really surprise me. And then I looked at her like, that's just normal life down in Florida. About about three years ago, I heard a story three or three or five years ago, I heard a story coming out of Florida. This guy,
Speaker: found a small gator, no more than three foot. And he puts it in his car, proceeds to, with the gator in the car, to rob a fast food chain with the gator. Not as like a, not as like, oh, he used the gator as the weapon. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. That sounds very Florida.
Speaker: It's not like, hey, buddy, go rob this Burger King. No. You give me the money, I'm gonna throw this gator at you. To me, that's like, you don't think that might backfire just somewhere? Yeah. As the fast food driver worker, when you just close the glass, like, go hard, buddy.
Speaker: Toss away. Yeah, you just close the window and walk away. I would literally I'd be the guy standing with a cup of coffee like a light in a cigarette like do it, do it, do it. Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah. Hey boss, uh, this guy wants all the money in the register or he's going to throw a baby crocodile through the window. And the boss is like, just close the window, Bob. Oh, I didn't think of that. It's one of those things. It's like, there's, there's so many weird and dumb people out there. Um, when game of thrones,
Speaker: first started. There was a report in Canada, and this is from ScanBC, and this is years ago, but this guy apparently, the police were called because this guy's walking through the mall carrying a broadsword. And where was this? This is in Canada, BC Canada, British Columbia, Canada. You know, do you remember the old stores where they, you know, you could buy ships in a bottle and these giant model ships.
Speaker: And they, they all sold swords. It's almost like a Spencer's or, or, you know, wacky store like that, but it's always really cool, weird stuff that you go into that store and go, who would buy that? If I had the money, I probably would, but you know, this guy was like, this guy walked in and he was like, I'll take that one. You know, it was like King Arthur's sword here.
Speaker: And he's the mall with it on his shoulder because that's what you do when you buy something more, you just keep walking really good. And people were calling the cops going, Hey, this guy's got a sword. What seems to be an issue in Canada? Yeah. Well, it's swords and knives. There's not a whole lot of gun violence. And I think it's like they're anti gun laws or whatever, but
Speaker: It's what I don't know. I don't, I don't get the concept of why people, I mean, I'm assuming there's a price tag hanging on this thing. It's not like they could put it in a bag and be like, well, here you go, Bob, here's your sword. Well, you would think that they would have some form of packaging. Yeah. That they could. Okay. Well, you know, because like, for instance, now I like to go to the Renaissance festival down here.
Speaker: are up here. And obviously the Renaissance, you can buy swords and knives and weapons of all sorts. Now at the Renaissance festival, most people want to buy a sword and carry it around because it goes with their costume or whatever. But at the same time, if you don't want to carry it around, they package it up real nice for you. And they put it behind the counter and then before you leave or behind the stand. And all you got to do is come back to it before the sword.
Speaker: and pick it up. And then you leave me with this sword in a, uh, in a package. So you're not just, but even then when you do go to the Renaissance festival, then you do have a weapon. It has to be, uh, tied, tied into its, uh, holster or sheet or sheet or whatever. Um, yeah.
Speaker: So I just think Canada might be a little strict on their gun laws, but they're not so strict on sword law. But it was like, you know, this is the kind of guy we'd seen them all and go, yes, sir, winter's coming. Because, you know, like I said, this is the height, the height of Game of Thrones. Like, you know, right around fourth or fifth season of Game of Thrones where everybody was watching it.
Speaker: And this guy's like, I'm gonna buy me a sword. I wasn't watching it. Oh my gosh, it was genius. I actually enjoyed it. I have to take your word for that. It is one of those shows. It's very hard for me as much TV as I watch. It's one of those shows. It took a couple episodes to get into it. But once you get into it, you're kind of hooked.
Speaker: and you want to see where it goes now i waited until the final season was about to come out before starting the first season because i hate to wait yeah and which is what i did with the walking dead i'm watching the walking dead right now and i've tried to avoid spoilers as much as possible which is almost impossible anymore it is it's it's very hard anymore right but uh...
Speaker: You know, the Walking Dead is in a way like Game of Thrones where if you like a character, don't like him too much because they're gonna die. Holy shit. I'm at the point in Walking Dead where the main bad guy, Megan, the guy with the baseball bat,
Speaker: who does an amazing job. I can't remember his name. Spoiler alert. Yes, spoiler alert. Like you read about, although it's season seven and season 10 is about to come out on Netflix. Yeah. He's, he's just, they're, they're fighting with him. You know, the big showdown, so to speak. I think I'm season eight, but, but when that dude kills,
Speaker: The Asian guy, Glenn, and the red -headed guy, what's his name? Abraham. I liked Abraham, and he was a badass. Yeah. I thought Abraham was a badass, but when he clocks Glenn on the skull, I was like, oh shit. I'm the kind of guy where, you know, most of the Walking Dead, my son has watched with me in passing. He doesn't sit there and watch with me
Speaker: He finds the dialogue kind of boring when they're talking about unimportant shit. He likes seeing them fight zombies and stuff, but I was glad my son was in bed. Yeah. Cause I'm not the kind of guy that looks away at shit like that. I'm like, yeah, kill that zombie. Look at all the guts. That's awesome. But when they hit, he hit Glenn, I was like, Oh my God. Yeah. It was a very, that was a very graphic scene.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah. Oh my God. It was heartbreaking too. Heartbreaking. Because you got Rick who, who throughout the years has been like, you know what? Fuck you. What are you going to do? Is literally just hog. Uh, essentially he can't do anything because there's what 200 people surrounding him. He knows he's going to get his ass handed to him if he tries anything and he has to,
Speaker: swallow his pride and it said earlier in the show when you first meet some of Megan's group if you're gonna eat a shit sandwich don't nibble so he has to take giant bites and but oh my god i was just like and of course my son well the funny thing what i find is is uh i'm a huge grand theft auto guy the video game grand theft auto and
Speaker: Uh, Megan's first Lieutenant guy named Simon. He actually does. He's a voice actor for grand theft auto five. Oh, really? He plays Trevor, the psycho hillbilly that deals meth. And as soon as he popped on the screen, this first time I saw him on screen.
Speaker: It's like one o 'clock in the morning. I'm watching this in the dark. My wife's asleep next to me. My kids are in bed and I was like, holy shit, it's Trevor. And my wife wakes up, what's going on? I was like, it's Trevor. She's like, it's one o 'clock in the morning. Shut the fuck up. I'm like, Cory, it's Trevor. But, uh, the, the funny thing is, uh, uh, when you see the guy, if you played grand theft auto five,
Speaker: When you see the guy that does Trevor's voice, he looks like Trevor. Where the other two guys that do the other two characters' voices in Grand Theft Auto, they're somewhat similar, but like the guy they did, his name is Steve Ogre, O -G -G is his last name. I don't, wouldn't even attempt to try to pronounce it again, but they modeled the character after his look.
Speaker: And the dude's like 6 '9". He's a giant. He's a skinny giant. He might be 130. He's a real giant stick figure, but he's very animated. He's an amazing voice actor.
Speaker: And I thought he did an amazing job. Apparently my son continually spoils it. He's like, I know how the guy that plays Trevor dies. I'm like, dude, shut up. I don't want to know. I could tell you. I don't. You'll be sleeping out in the car because, you know, there's people that spoil stuff are just the worst kind of people. There's, there's nothing worse than having a show spoiled like when
Speaker: Unfortunately, I listen to a lot of podcasts like you do while I'm doing stuff here around the house. And you said you'd listen to podcasts while you're driving. I was listening to a podcast and I started mentioning Walking Dead. And I couldn't get to the remote fast enough to turn it off. And they told me, oh, I stopped watching when Glenn died. And I was like, damn it. I'm like, season three, Glenn dies in season six. I'm like,
Speaker: Now the whole time I watch this and I'm, you know, the guy that played Glenn, I thought he was a great character. Yeah. You know, he, you know, he, the guy developed great over the show. And then they, they said there went into detail. I'm searching, searching for the remote stuck in the couch. And they're like, God, they beat him with a bad eye falls out. I'm like, dude, shut up. Damn it.
Speaker: You've depended upon what you listen to and what not like that. You, you've got to, uh, kind of keep that volume, that volume down, but close by because me personally pocket. Yeah. Me personally, I don't listen to anything. Let's go to give any smaller cause I listened to a lot of, um, serial killer stuff. So, you know, they're not going to, they're not going to rain them and be like, Oh yeah, by the way, uh,
Speaker: you're waiting for our mutual friend to pop up yeah they're not like oh yeah by the way so uh in the at the end of the marvel endgame tony stark dies it's like what the heck what does that have to do with blood bonding yeah sorry sorry if anybody's listening you've had yet to see it but in marvel movies you're i don't know what planet you've been on because they were uh although uh what did you think of uh
Speaker: Captain Marvel. I haven't watched it yet. I'm not the biggest fan of Brie Larson. I mean, she's beautiful. I don't think a lot of people are, but that's just basically because of her attitude and the way she put herself in the spotlight and just puffing her chest out and taking such a
Speaker: which is more power to you if you want to take that stance. I'm not saying she should or shouldn't have, but again, she, she put herself out there and you, you, you eliminated or segregated 50 % of your fan base. Oh yeah. Right off the bat. And you know, you look at, you look at the fan base of the MCU is made up of people and, you know, and I'm one of them. So I'm going to say it comic book nerds. Oh yeah. I was.
Speaker: They don't want to hear about your, your feminist stance. They want you to go play a superhero that you, that they grew up reading or, or whatever. Just go, go be that character after, you know, you can say and do whatever you want. But when you're promoting the movie, you know, because that was the one thing most actors when they're promoting the movie, Oh, by the way, um, I'm team.
Speaker: Biden or whatever, they're just going to promote the fucking movie. But after the movie comes out and they want to make their political stance, they're going to do it. But, you know, you're trying to get, you're trying to get asses into the seat. Right. We're putting your message out there, but there is a time and place. And while you're promoting a movie, I mean, after like six months after your movie's out, promote your agenda anytime you want. But if you're promoting the movie,
Speaker: And my reason for not seeing the movie has nothing to do with the way she feels or thinks I just, I didn't think it looked like it was that good of a move. I think it was rushed so that they could get her into the, the MCU and get her into infinity war and end game. Um, you know, I loved in, uh, I think it was infinity war when maybe it was in game. I can't remember which one it was, but where they did the whole scene.
Speaker: where it was just like, let's get all of our women together and give them one badass scene that was so cool. I mean, especially because they're like, we got Peter, you know, you guys do whatever you're going to do. And it was like all about protecting Peter. I was just like, hell yeah, that's badass. That's badass. No, that, um, I did, I did enjoy,
Speaker: All the MCU. I haven't gotten into WandaVision yet. It's a slow burn. Yeah, that's what I've heard. And it all comes down to the same thing. I wanted to wait till it's over. So I don't have to wait. Yeah. When I watch something, I want to watch something. I've been waiting so long for the WandaVision Falcon and Winter Soldier and the new Loki.
Speaker: So I watched WandaVision every week when they put out the new episode. And it is a slow burn. It takes two, two and a half episodes to really, and I had almost given up after the second episode. I'm glad I did. A Falcon and Winter Soldier, it's got some good action, but it's a buildup too. But it wasn't as bad as WandaVision.
Speaker: Well, the problem I have with WandaVision is the trailers don't, they're just so damn confusing. Well, they did that on purpose. Right. Excuse me. They made it as vague as possible because if they would have done too much with the trailers or put too much out there, it would have completely spoiled the entire show. Oh, okay. So that's why it's so vague.
Speaker: Yeah, that show is very easy to have spoiled because there's so many spins and turns and stuff that when they happen, you're like, oh, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. But while you're absorbing that twist, another one happens. It's like, son of a bitch. I'm still on the last one.
Speaker: Yeah, I'm still stewing over the last one. That's one of the reasons why the problem I have with TV shows is the time in between seasons. If you're waiting, you can completely forget a show and lose complete interest.
Speaker: Well, and that's a nice thing with basically everything going to streaming. I mean, even these shows, when you, when you binge watching the shows are still on regular TV. Right. You know, say your show, it's got five season on Netflix, but they're six season is halfway through on regular TV. You know, you get to that point where they finally put it on Netflix. They're like, well, shit, I don't even remember what the hell happened. Uh,
Speaker: And the last season, well, generally before the first episode of the next season, you get a, you get a recap episode where, you know, it's not really an episode, but it's a recap and they do that. Yeah. And they do that with a lot of, I mean, Hulu does it, Disney plus does it for every episode of WandaVision and stuff. And, um, now you're not a big stock guy.
Speaker: No, I don't, I don't care for like the sci -fi movies or anything like that. I usually, I think, I think it would like the Mandalorian. Everybody says that everybody's like, Oh, it wasn't a Star Wars fan, but Mandalorian was really good. I think my kids watched it. My girlfriend watched it. She really enjoyed it. I've never met anybody that's seen it that didn't like it. I think that's the, that's the whole draw to it.
Speaker: And you're also talking to a guy that thinks the entire Star Wars universe is completely overrated and not that good of a movie. Sorry, Star Wars fans. I know. For the longest time, I did the same thing. And Star Trek sucked up until the most recent movies that they made with the other Chris. Oh, they were amazing. Chris Pine, yeah. Yeah, the other Chris. I loved those. I was never a Star Trek guy. Never even seen a full episode.
Speaker: You know, if it was on, because I was like, what else is on? But I ran in, ran on to HBO one day and, and the Chris Pine Star Trek was playing and I was like, Oh, whatever, nothing else on. And I watched it and I was hooked on it. I was like, that was amazing. But I was also a huge fan of Zachary Quinto from Heroes.
Speaker: I'm a huge fan of Zachary Plinto from American Horror Story. I have not seen it yet. Heroes was good. Heroes was amazing. That was pretty good. And it's near on the map. And I started to watch Nashville because of her. Cause I think she's gorgeous, but I can't really get into Nashville. It hasn't really,
Speaker: It's a little too, too much drama for me. Well, too, too, too early. Yeah, a little too early. Well, uh, when I was with my ex, she got me, uh, she was a big Sex and the City fan. Oh Lord. And you want to talk about girly, but that was damn near porn with a plot. Yeah, there was, there was a lot of stuff because there were four whores in New York.
Speaker: Yeah, pretty much, you know, but I think that something like Sons of Anarchy would have been better if it had been on HBO as opposed to FX. But I was going to watch. I was going to watch Sons of Anarchy. I was going to. I really wanted. I really wanted to get into that show. But the guy who played Opie. Yeah, I love that dude. And then I seen what happened to him. Like, not fuck this show. I ain't watching it. Oh, yeah.
Speaker: Anybody wants Sons of Anarchy, when Opie dies, spoiler alert, when Opie dies, you are wrecked. Yeah, I was like, nope. I ain't even, I never even started an episode. I just was like watching, watching a video. I fell into wormholes on YouTube all the time. This is usual. Oh, I do too. But it was like the most, the most devastating fictional deaths on TV. And it was a lot of shows that I see and I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Then they come to,
Speaker: Sons of Anarchy and I'm like, oh, I should probably skip that. Cause it's probably going to be a huge spoiler. And I was like, no, cancel. The whole thing about Sons of Anarchy, if you can make it through Sons of Anarchy from episode one to the final episode and not want to motorcycle, something's wrong with you. Yeah. And then I see
Speaker: Yeah, go ahead. And then I've seen the spoiler how Jax dies and I'm just like, yeah, well, that's kind of stupid. That's a horrible way to end the show. Well, the, it's a real, uh, it's, um, the whole concept of Sons of Anarchy is based on, um, Hamlet. Yeah. It's a William Shakespeare Hamlet. It's a version of William Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Speaker: Um, Ron Pullman. When he got the job and I love Ron Pullman. He's another guy. You give that man a phone book and put it on film. I will watch every from A to Z. Oh, Ron Perlman. Yeah. And he, he, uh, in an interview, he was, they were, they were talking about, you know, where he dies. And he's like, well, you guys realize it's, it's based on Hamlet. I knew my character had to die because I was felonious.
Speaker: My character was felonious from Hamlet. And I went, holy shit, it's based on Hamlet. Whoa. And it kind of blew my mind because the, the, there's a version of Hamlet in a movie. And, uh, I can't remember the guy that plays Hamlet and it's not the one with, uh, what's his name, uh, Mel Gibson, not that one.
Speaker: And I love that version of Hamlet. I can't remember the name of the actor. When you see him, you're like, that guy, yeah. But you don't know his name. Kind of like the guy that plays Megan in The Walking Dead. You're like, I know that guy. What's his name? And then you got to Google it. But I'm not a big Shakespeare guy, but I love that version of Hamlet. And it's all done in the Hamlet tongue
Speaker: sentencing structure. So you have to watch every millisecond of it or you're lost. And you got to pause about 400 times. Okay, what do you say? That is too much work for me to watch a movie. I'm a real I'm I'm a cinephile and a cinephile. I'll I'll watch anything. My wife makes fun of me. So like you don't get bored watching TV. I'm like, no, I'm a cinephile. I'll watch everything.
Speaker: My main goal is get through everything Netflix has. You might really want to look into like maybe getting a life, getting a hobby. I actually speaking of a hobby is I have a job interview tomorrow. Oh, nice. Yeah. I have a job interview. I'm going to go get a job as a hobby.
Speaker: Like, you're like some random ass rich guy. It's like me getting a life. The thing is like, it does, we've discussed this. It doesn't cost a lot to live here. And I've been a stay at home dad for going on four years now, something like that. Cause my wife does really well. Um, and
Speaker: There's an opening for a, I can't work for the same company she does because they have a policy against that, which is weird because it's weird because in that job, you almost never see your coworkers because the job is going to a hotel for the day and selling tours to tourists. So you see your coworkers.
Speaker: once a day for three minutes, if that, the one coworker, he and I were good friends, we saw each other once a week for five minutes. Yeah, but I mean, it boils down to a conflict of interest thing. You know, like if for some reason she was, she was put into a supervisor role or you were put into a supervisor role. Exactly. Issues down the road that way.
Speaker: but there's a, there's another company that does a similar, it's basically the same job with a different company. Cause there's like nine companies that do the same job and it's a different company, but the commission scale, cause it is 100 % commission based. You do not get a salary and which is, it's an odd concept, but in sales you make your own salary. The more you hustle, the more money you make and there's no salary cap. Um,
Speaker: And then it's a job for hustlers. I mean, you, you gotta be on it all the time and, and keep track of your money. But the commission scale is like 30 times more than hers. Damn. Well, because, uh, just like when you sell any product where she works, if you sell X tour, X tour costs X amount.
Speaker: or X tour costs amount Y and Z is your commission from that. So X tour costs $50. Your commission from that $50 where she works is 2%. Okay. And one of the companies you work for is considered one of the best. Now the difference is you're guaranteed X amount of clients per hotel.
Speaker: Yeah. Like a minimum of 50. Where the company I'm working at is you have a base price. For instance, the same tour for TourX, same one that my wife would sell, my cost is let's say $10. If I sell it for 50, anything over that $10, 50 % of that extra goes to the company I work for and 50 % of it goes to me.
Speaker: So where my wife would make what $3 off 50, I would make, would make $20 off 50 can't be shared. But what are your hours? How many hours is the hours is I set my own hours. Of course you have to be there in the morning. Cause that's when your clients are first getting up and
Speaker: recovering from their hangover. Yeah. They're moving around. Some, some people might be checking in. My wife, depending on the hotel, your hours change because each week you're in a different hotel and it's decided on your ranking and your ranking is decided on your sales from the week prior. Okay. So like my wife's schedule this week is she's in what's called a pool, which is her and another coworker.
Speaker: and one of them will be from eight to two, and the other takes over from two to eight in that hotel. But in another hotel, you could only go in from nine to five. In another hotel, you can go in from nine to noon, and then you have to leave for two hours and then come back from two to five. Yeah. Each hotel, of course, has their own rules, and you have to obey by it.
Speaker: in the company that I'm looking to go into is I go in, I stay, you know, if I sell $400 worth of product, I can be like, yeah, I'm done for the day and go home. I can go in for 20 minutes or, you know, 12 hours. It's completely up to me. So I can
Speaker: I can actually fit my schedule to my wife's schedule so we can still have lunch together and all that stuff. And, and I can get home in a decent hour to pick up the kids from grandma's and all that fun stuff, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And be making the same amount, if not more than my wife. Nice. Yeah. I'm joking around about wanting to find a job where I got to work from home, you know, sitting here in my,
Speaker: but basketball shorts and a t -shirt all day long and work from home. But then I think about it and it's like, you know, I'm at the, I work 10, 12 hours a day or whatever. And then I come home and it's like, I'm bored out of my mind by Sunday on the weekend and I'm ready to get the hell out of here. It's like, I could not imagine working from home.
Speaker: Well, the, I've looked into the work from home thing, cause that was kind of my, my whole concept of, you know, if I'm going to be a stay at home dad, I got all this time in my hands. I got the internet. Maybe I'll find a company to hire me. It's all the technical jobs that I don't know. Yeah, exactly. Like, you know, it's either accounting or, or, um, editing, not editing, but, um,
Speaker: like, uh, coding or something like that. And I just can't do it. Wouldn't even know where to start with most of it. Exactly. Unless you want to start like an Amazon drop shipping company, which is, is, you know, you're looking at 12 hours a day for the first couple months anyway. So it's like, yeah. So, uh,
Speaker: You know, I have my YouTube channel, but my YouTube channel, with what I do on YouTube is building stuff, which is like going back the whole, I want to build a supercar. And I build pretty much anything I can think of. I did a video for an hour and a half the other day of, it shortened down once I edited it, on building a toilet paper holder. Oh yeah, I did see that.
Speaker: You know, that one was, I had a scrap piece of wood. I was like, yeah, this'll work and the concept work and it looks good and it functions. But if I have a big project I want to do, like building the super, that shit costs money. And when your YouTube channel doesn't produce any money yet, because it's so small, because you need a thousand followers and 4 ,000 viewer hours before you can make a dime from YouTube itself. Uh,
Speaker: it costs money to build stuff on YouTube. And I just don't have the airplane. I don't have the money to, to build stuff on the channel considerably. And so by taking a job, not only will I have to not ask my wife for money to get stuff, which makes you feel like shit. Well,
Speaker: For our generation, it makes me feel like shit. When I go get a bag of chips. I get that. But at the same time, I mean, when you're, when you're married, I mean, you're in a partnership. And if you guys have worked out a deal where, you know, you're a stay -at -home dad or, you know, whatever, or vice versa, it's not really a matter of asking. I mean, you shouldn't. No, no, it's, it's, it's, it's not like I have to, but it's, it's,
Speaker: I see it as the polite thing to do. I'm not gonna be reaching to a person, grab some change and go get my cigarettes or whatever. I'm just like, hey, can I get a couple bucks so I can go get cigarettes? I'm going to get cigarettes and I swear to God if you say anything to me, you're gonna catch his back hand. I'm tired of you. Don't sass me, woman. Yeah, that'll go over like a little.
Speaker: It's, it's emasculating for me anyways, to be like tour, you know? Yeah. I can't, I mean, I, I can't really speak on that because I've, I've always worked and, you know, well, even, even if, even when I was the primary income getter for our family,
Speaker: I don't you cannot give me you cannot give me money to hold on to Because on my way home, I'll pick up a bag of chips pick up coke. I'll pick up Oh look, there's another tool, you know and buy another tool. Mm -hmm or buy toy So every dime I make I'm like here hold this and when I need it I'll ask for it But it's a different concept when she's making it and I'm like, okay, you need to read through so it's a
Speaker: It's what keeps us from going broke. My wife is very disciplined when it comes to money. And I'm not. No, I'm not. Because as a car guy, as a car guy, and even though I can't afford it, I spend hours on Facebook Marketplace looking at cars going, I can buy that. I'd buy that. That's too much.
Speaker: That's really cheap. We should buy that. Yeah, I mean, I don't. I'm so weird about spending money. I'm basically a Jew. But I have no problem whatsoever spending money on on others or the kids or whatever. But when it comes to me, like myself, I very rarely do I spend money on myself.
Speaker: It's just recently, and this is just because, you know, my, my girlfriend's gotten on me several times. She's like, it's okay to spend money on yourself. You know, you're, you, you work hard, you're allowed to. So up until just recently, I mean, I, you know, nothing major, but I bought a sound bar. It doesn't sound too exciting, but it was exciting for me. You know, I bought, I bought a, I bought a goddamn. Yeah. A soundbar for my TV. I bought a goddamn. Yeah. I bought a goddamn Xbox controller.
Speaker: not for my Xbox for my cell phone because I can play Xbox games on my cell phone, but I needed a particular Xbox controller to play those games on my cell phone. And I felt bad about buying it too. The funny thing is when I build stuff on YouTube, I don't build for myself. It's like the 3D wall art that I make. I made one.
Speaker: And I was like, well, if it starts selling great, but I don't make them to put them on my wall. Granted, I have the two that I made on my wall just to keep them nice and neat, but, but I don't build stuff for myself. You know, I, I built a ring holder for my wife. I, I built, uh, um, key chain holders for a friend where, you know, you come in and you put your, hang your keys up. She's, she's.
Speaker: into the whole goth thing. So I made a, I made a coffin and I made a bat and, and my son was like, you never make anything for yourself. I said, no, if I'm making for myself, it's a shelf to put my tools on. Yeah. I reorganized my tool storage for like the ninth time the other day, because I have, I'm, I'm not flush with tools either. I have a drill press. I have a, uh, homemade table saw, which is hilarious.
Speaker: Um, it's literally a circular saw attached to a board and then legs on the board. Yeah. I seen that it, uh, it looks, uh, Super safe. It definitely, it definitely meets all of OSHA standards and, uh, safety requirements. I'm going to manufacture them, but it all comes down to affordability at this time and in my life with the pandemic and, and
Speaker: Once again, no matter what job you do in Cancun, it does eventually boil down to, are there tourists? Even if you're installing toilets in somebody's house, if that person works in tourism, your money comes from tourism. Yeah. So when the lockdown hit, we locked down here.
Speaker: our revenue for the house and for the YouTube channel and just kind of went to zero real quick. So it was like, I can't build anything. So I read this point where we're slowly recovering from the whole pandemic thing is my point. So buying a new table saw or even a used one is not in the cards. But like three years ago, I bought a circular saw.
Speaker: Well, I don't use it for cutting stuff because I would prefer to use a table saw. I'm not great with a circular saw. So I turned it upside down and bolted a board to it. Now I have a table saw because the, I looked at a couple of them and you're looking at 300 bucks. I don't have an extra $300 right now, but I got a circular sword and I got a bunch of scrap wood laying around.
Speaker: So I just built my table saw. So I have the table saw, the scroll saw, which is what I cut the letters out on that 3d wall art. And, uh, I have a chop saw and a router and a bunch of hand tools and a couple drills and stuff like that. No, it's not the biggest setup in the world, but I can build stuff with that. The problem is as nice as these houses are, there's not a whole lot of storage
Speaker: And underneath the stairs is a little cubby that has nothing to do with anything. It's literally just a cubby. And I told my wife, I said, I'm going to take over that cubby. And she's like, what for? I said, I'm just going to keep my tools there so they're not laying all over the house. And she's like, I like that. I like not tripping over tools. So I put everything in there and I put in a shelf and then I had everything
Speaker: All the big stuff like the drill press and chop saw and all that stuff kind of just set in there. And I couldn't get out. If I wanted to get just the chop saw out, I'd have to move three things. Yeah. So instead of actually getting the chop saw out, I'd be like, ah, do I really want to build it? Do I really want to build it? So with, I built a shelf for the chop saw. It's kind of like a floating shelf. And then the drill press wouldn't fit.
Speaker: I had to raise said shelf and you know, it took me a while, but I got it. Everything fits in there. Nice neat. I can grab one thing, not have to move anything else. And except for the table saw, which I have in another section of the house because there's just not enough room for the table saw. But, uh, there's other tools I want to buy that all comes down to, I don't have the cash. So if I take this job, if I get this job, cause if I get the job, if they offer to him, I'm going to take it.
Speaker: because - Yeah, you're at that point where it's like, if they offer it, I'll take it. If they don't, then it is what it is. Yeah, well, I mean, my eventual goal is to make money on YouTube because no matter what job you take down here, you're not gonna make US money for that job. For instance, if you take a construction job here, you're not gonna make the same amount of money you would make
Speaker: back home in construction. Same thing as an office job. If you're, if you're a CEO, yeah, you'll live great down here. But if you're a CEO for the same company in New York, you'd make a hell of a lot more. So you don't, you're not going to make that, that big nut at the, at the end of each month that you would in the States where on YouTube, if I'm, if I,
Speaker: And I've stated this multiple times, if I make three grand a month on YouTube, which is not unheard of, I'll be a happy little fucker. Really? I mean, I'm not asking to make, one of my favorite YouTube channels that I watch is Goon Squad. Those guys are making like 80, 90 grand a month. I'm not asking to make that. I mean, if I do, hey, great, awesome, super, please dear God,
Speaker: But it's not my goal. My goal is to the YouTube pace where I don't have to actually leave my house. Because I'm that guy. I social distanced before it was cool. I mean, one of the last things you said to me in person when we graduated high school was, don't fucking disappear and become a stranger.
Speaker: which I did pretty much. But I mean, I'm, I'm on that same boat too. I mean, I, I was, I was doing, um, my live Saturday night, you know, I do those live streams. I've been doing them for years. Right. Usually it's just bullshit. Just me hanging out, drinking beer, just bullshitting around, not really doing anything of any importance. But, um, there was a chick from the UK that came in and she was like,
Speaker: you know, it's the first thing that she commented was, how did the pandemic, or how did the pandemic change your life? And I was like, whoa, first of all, I'm not used to serious questions. Second of all, I was like, well, not at all, to be honest with you. I was like, I've been working the whole time, not only have I been working, but I was able to not, and I wasn't even really looking, and I was able to get another job, different job,
Speaker: making a lot more money than what I was making during the pandemic. Like this is all during the pandemic. I was like, but at the same time, I don't go out. I don't do anything. So, you know, I go to work and I come home and I don't socialize with a lot of people in real life. All my socializing is done online. I was like, so in all honesty, I was like, it did not affect my life in any way, shape or form. I mean, and she's like,
Speaker: That might be the realest answer I've ever got from that question. I was like, I'm just being honest. I mean, like my wife, my wife and her friends like to go to the club and dance and my wife doesn't drink. And I mean, if I'm gonna go to the club, I'm gonna drink, but my whole concept is I can drink at home for free.
Speaker: Yeah. It's all hell of a lot cheaper. It's a whole hell of a lot cheaper to drink at home than it is to go out to the bar. And if I do get too drunk, I can just pass out because I live there. Exactly. I mean, that's, that's, that's where the whole thing with me initially starting to do live streams came from because I didn't ever do anything. And I was like, Saturday night I'm bored. I've already,
Speaker: played Call of Duty for five hours, and I just kind of stumbled into a streaming app, and I was like, oh, what the hell is this? Oh, hit record. I'm just gonna do what I'm doing in general, and if anybody comes in and watches, awesome. And then, you know, I was never huge or anything like that on Periscope, but I had an awesome following when I was on Periscope, that every Saturday night, they look forward to 10 o 'clock, Glick's gonna be live,
Speaker: Glick's going to be drinking, Glick's going to have his music on and Glick's going to be acting a fool and we're going to have fun. And, you know, so that's kind of where I fell in love with the streaming act or the streaming part of it. I've anywhere until I did it on TikTok. And, uh, I, when TikTok first got noticed by everybody where it was like,
Speaker: And, you know, me, I'm not, I'm not the mainstream guy. I'm not the, you know, I was very, very hesitant on downloading the TikTok app because I was, oh, it's too mainstream. And, and I'm, I still struggle with that to this day, where I'm like, oh, it's too mainstream. I like to be different. And, uh, I got on TikTok and that's where you and I reconnected.
Speaker: was TikTok. Yeah, I saw you, you'd post something every now and on Facebook and I'm like, yeah, there's Chris, I know that guy. And one day I was going through TikTok and your live popped up and I was like, holy shit, Chris is live. And I've said something to you and you didn't acknowledge it because it said KTM Productions. You didn't realize it was me. So you just went right over it and didn't say that and I was like,
Speaker: Dick he didn't met to me and it and for like four or five days I was like, I can't believe that son of bitch didn't even say Which is where which is rare because I generally acknowledge But what cracked me up was like three days went by and I was sitting here stealing pissed at you and my wife was like Your name doesn't show up dumbass And I went
Speaker: Why the fuck am I mad at Chris? I did not put two and two together. And I was like, that's why he didn't say anything. He didn't, he didn't see, he just saw some random dude. But in your defense, there was like 15 people saying something at once. Yeah.
Speaker: Well, and that's the thing, like, you know, like I've told you before, I've always been one. And this is why this is so much different for me. And, and I usually just kind of, um, add my two sisters here. Yeah, I, I always acknowledge everybody and I'm always drinking and I can generally carry on. And that's, and I've been told that several times by several people. That's what they enjoy about coming into my life. It doesn't matter if there's,
Speaker: one person or if there's a thousand people, not that that's ever what that has actually happened. Um, that was crazy. Holy shit. Um, I do the best I can to acknowledge everybody and I'll carry on four or five different conversations and be able to stay with them and keep them going.
Speaker: And that's what people have always, that's been, that's been the nicest, that's been like not the nicest, but the coolest compliment I've ever gotten was that people are like, we like coming into your lives because you actually acknowledge us who you, it's like, we're, it feels like we're right there hanging out with you. And it's like, which is, which is, I took your advice when I started going live, you said, you know, let the, let the chat run the live. And I was like, that, you know, it made me want to go live more where,
Speaker: I would see other people go live and they're talking about their own shit. They're not mentioning nothing in the comments. And I'm like, why do people watch these people? I don't get, you know, you got, you know, I saw a person the other day had like 3000 people on their live and they're talking about something that nobody else is talking about. They're just going on about their shit. And I'm like, how do you have this many followers when
Speaker: somebody's like, Oh, I have a fact about what you're talking about. And you just glaze over it. And my problem with going live, my main concern when I first started going live and I brought it to you and I was like, dude, I have no idea what the fuck I'm gonna talk about. And your first thing you said was, let the chat run it. Somebody says something, I was like, that actually makes sense.
Speaker: because I was like, okay, I'm going to go live. What the fuck am I going to talk about? Yeah. My first life, a lot of me going, uh, well, I mean, in, in every life that I've ever done, I, you always reach that point where there's, where there's a silence or there's nobody there. Yeah. And, and, and,
Speaker: I just started rambling about whatever I could be talking about the fucking music behind me. And then eventually somebody's gonna come in and they're gonna be like, hey, what's up? And I'm like, hey, what's going on with you? And then just a conversation will develop. I do my dishes in chat because I hate, hate doing dishes. I will literally wait until it's a Jenga pile of dishes before I do dishes. And I find like, fuck, I have to do dishes.
Speaker: And what makes it bearable is that I go live. And I don't know what it was, but the last time I did dishes and chat was, everybody wanted to see my fridge. Let me, and I was trying to, and I was trying to chime in on that. And I don't know if you've seen it. So yeah, that refrigerator thing, that started, and I know it's become a lot bigger, but that started about,
Speaker: six or seven years ago. No, not even that long. Okay. No, not even that long. Probably about four, maybe five years ago. And the first time that that, that refrigerator mob ever went into a live, it was my life on Paris. Oh no shit. Yeah. And, and I was doing my normal life and, um,
Speaker: We were bullshitting around and I had my usuals in there, you know, people that I've actually became friends with over the years. And all of a sudden there was like 200 people, all at once, just 200, 300 people just flooded my fucking line. I was like, what the fuck just happened? And they're like, let us see your refrigerator. What's in your refrigerator? And I was like, oh, this is the dumbest shit ever. And they're like, no, show us your fridge. Show us your fridge. I was like, um, is this like some kind of weird
Speaker: fetish or something like what's going on? That's what I thought. I was like, is it some sort of weird sexual thing? I mean, you want me to hug my fridge too, or what the hell? Yeah. And then like my regulars that were always in my, they're like, yeah, let's see your fridge. Like show us your fridge. What just so happened that I had a fridge down in my, my garage area where I always did my lives and I had my man cave and everything set up. And, uh, I was like, all right, fucking, I literally just stopped at that day. So I had like,
Speaker: 10 different kinds of beers. I had, you know, I had, I had
Speaker: a couple cases of popping ash. I just went over and opened the refrigerator. They're like, Oh my God, your refrigerator's cooler than we thought it was going to be. And then they actually hung around. They're like, look, we didn't know how this was going to act. It was a group of friends. We didn't know how this was going to go. So you're literally the first person we did this to. And it was so fucking cool. And then some of those, like a lot of those guys actually followed me and they'd come into my lives and be like, dude, we got another fridge bomb. And I was just like, so how did it go? It was awesome because we,
Speaker: They didn't know how to think at first, but then they jumped on. I was like, Oh, I'm glad I was your, your first victim. And they're like, no, you were so cool. And the fact that you had, cause I had, we had, we had just gone, we had total wine and more and, uh, they had import beers. So I had, I had like four or five German beers in there, a couple of Belgian beers in the course of fun light and whatnot. But my refrigerator was literally.
Speaker: I mean, every shelf was full, the door was full. There was no room for anything in there because there was so much alcohol in there. And then I seen that on your line and I was like, I had not seen that in a minute. And that was, I was the first. Yeah. I'm glad they didn't ask to see the freezer because the freezer is a mess. The thing is with that freezer is that every once in a while the door doesn't close 100%.
Speaker: I don't keep a whole lot of stuff in the freezer. It sounds like your seal's off. No, it's a brand new fridge. The problem is I keep mops and that stuff next to the fridge. And if the mop head gets stuck in there, you don't notice it. The light turns off, so you still don't notice it.
Speaker: but the, it doesn't seal because the mop is there and it defrosted a, uh, uh, what was it? It was like a ground beef. It never got frozen and it, it just bled all over the bottom of the freezer. Oh shit. Yeah. So there's, I have to,
Speaker: take the freezer apart and clean it. And it's actually really easy to do. It's just one of those other things I hate doing is there's nothing worse than cleaning out the fridge. You're not a very good stay at home dad. No, I'm terrible. I hate doing dishes. I hate cleaning the refrigerator. I hate doing laundry. I hate these goddamn kids. I'll tell you what. It was just me in the fridge. I just mean the fridge and the TV. I'd still,
Speaker: I'd still be a stay -at -home dad. No, it's the tedious shit like that. I love cooking. One day, when I made the chicken soup thing, I love doing a cooking chat too, and I'm not a cook. I've actually learned how to cook by being a stay -at -home dad because kids got to eat. Exactly. It's the same thing with laundry, man.
Speaker: washing and drying clothes. But I absolutely hate putting clothes away. My clothes will set clean in a basket for a week and a half before I get the motivation to put them away. But also at the same time, I'm a guy. So if I pull something out of my basket, it's clean. Excuse me. Like it's clean.
Speaker: Yeah, it's clean. I you know, it's a clean clothes basket. It's just frankly as hell. I don't care. The labels will come out of it throughout the day. Yeah, well, I'm the funny thing is, like, my wife is a pack rat when it comes to clothes. And I'm like, Look, we haven't worn a shirt in like, oh, 10 years.
Speaker: and throw it away. She's like, no, I might wear it one day. I'm like, really? Are you sure? And then it'll just sit there in a closet for, you know, the end of time. I can't say anything about that because I have the same problem. And I continue to buy more shirts. My girlfriend, she just sent me up some shirts from her store because I fucking love her store that she works in.
Speaker: if I had the money, I would buy the entire men's section. But she was like, I am not sending you any more clothes because you have that closet full of clothes. You need to get rid of some of that shit. And I'm like, yeah, I'll get rid of it. And I, I do play on it because there are literally shirts in there that are, I have jeans from high school still because
Speaker: But they still look brand new. And I'm like, I'll wear them again. I'll get down. I'll get down to what I was in high school. I'll put them I'll be able to wear them again. So I don't want to hear high school. It never happens. Well, you know, it did happen. Just before I came back home to Ohio, I actually was able to and I was going I was going to the gym a lot.
Speaker: And I've lost a lot of weight. And that was like one of the things that I just grabbed up one of the pairs one day and I was like, I wonder if he's fit. I put him on and they fit. I was like, Oh yeah. So you just sit around on the couch. Yeah, pretty much. I just wore, I just warped out of my garage. I was playing video games. Yep. Yep. And these since high school money. Yeah. Um, but.
Speaker: We, uh, there's a, they have a clothing fair down here every once in a while. And it's like manufacturers that make brand clothes, but they're, you know, uh, I bought a polo shirt that was a Ken block polo shirt and basically just a bunch of patches on it. And I can't find it now, but I think it, I think it got ruined, but
Speaker: I love that shirt, and I think I got it for like $2. And so for a while, where we were working like 12, each of us before we had kids, we'd each leave the house, work, and then come home and be so tired we couldn't do laundry. So we'd have to get up and get it and go to work next day. It was almost cheaper for us to just go buy more clothes than it was to sit around and do laundry.
Speaker: But it is also when we first started out together, we didn't have a washing machine and we didn't have time to go to the laundromat. They don't have laundromats. They don't have coin laundries down here. They have a lady that has like three or four washing machines and three or four dryers. You drop them off and she washes them, dries them, folds them, and give them back to you in a bag.
Speaker: Oh, it's genius. It's genius. And they charge you like a dollar per kilo. Well, 50 cents a kilo or something like that. And it got to the point where when we finally bought a washing machine, we had like 30 kilos of clothes that, you know, you drop that off and you're like, well, that was my pay for the week.
Speaker: So, so it ended up getting cheaper to buy a washing machine and we'd literally, okay, this week we're going to wear this, this, this, this, yes. All right. Wash it. And we'd have time to wash it and hang that stuff up dry because a lot of people, cause it's so hot down here. Nobody buys a dryer. I have a dryer because fuck hanging shit up. That's the worst part about doing laundry. If you're without a dryer is hanging the shit up.
Speaker: And, uh, so we, we bought a dryer, but you can't, it's almost impossible to buy a gas dryer or an electric dryer here. They're all gas. Oh, really? Yeah. It's, uh, one of the, when we bought this house, I was like, let's get a new dryer. Let's get a gas dryer or electric dryer. And we went looking and the only electric drivers we could find were the big fancy ones that cost more than my first car.
Speaker: which isn't saying much cause it costs a dollar, but, uh, uh, you know, the dryers we looked at literally cost more in the car. I have now. Jesus. I was like, I couldn't, I couldn't pull the trigger on it. They wanted like, it was like $5 ,000 for this dryer. And I was like, what the fuck, dude? I said for $5 ,000, it better do a hell of a lot more than dry clothes. It better.
Speaker: take them upstairs, put them in the closet for me. That is a lot of money for a fucking, I mean, you can get washer and dryer sets here cheaper than that. Yeah. Well, I mean, they only sell the super big fancy ones in electric down here. Uh, you can get, you know, cheaper versions, but you know, they weren't talking about the big with the, where it's painted red or blue and it's really nice colors on it. Yeah.
Speaker: The really nice ones. And I was like, I just, I know, no, no, no, no, no. I said, for that kind of money, I could go buy two used cars and be happy for like 10 years. But just, just to dry clothes now, you know, I can buy clothes lines 50 cents. I bought a used gas dryer and
Speaker: The only reason the guy was selling that is because he's like, I can't afford to put gas in there. I was like, what are you talking about? He's like, well, you know, you got to buy gas. And that's kind of the point. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Gasoline like in your car.
Speaker: not gasoline. We're talking about natural gas. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I thought you, I thought you were saying that they had water drivers down there that you had to put not necessarily gasoline, but you had to put gas into it. Yeah. What the fuck are you talking about? How bad sacros are you guys down there that you can't just hook it up to your gas line. It's natural gas line, but they, you like, for instance, where you are, you want natural gas in your house and you, you have,
Speaker: the option of being connected to the city's gas line, correct? Yeah, I got Columbia gas. Okay, they don't do that here. What do they do? They bring you an individual tank and run the line to your house? No, no, no, you buy a gas tank. Like, you know, it's like for your barbecue. Okay, yeah, so essentially like a propane tank for your grill, you have to buy that.
Speaker: They have the propane tank size like for your grill and all the way up to a one that stands about four feet tall. And then you buy a flexible tube and you know, all the regulator and all that stuff and hook it up to your tank and you, you can do it and it looks nice or you can get a stationary tank, which is what like my parents have out in the, in the country. Yeah. Which is what we have is the propane tank. Right. Yeah. Right.
Speaker: And so I have for my cooking, I have a little one that's like propane for your grill style size. And I can cook on that for a month before I have to go fill it. Almost two months. So for like your kitchen stove, you have to buy those? Yeah. Wow. I really do live in a third world country, don't you?
Speaker: Well, it comes down to infrastructure. When they first built Cancun, you really can't bury a whole lot of stuff down here because it's limestone. Everything's limestone here. So to bury that stuff, it would cost a damn fortune. And then, God forbid, something breaks on it. To fix it would be another fortune.
Speaker: So how, so how much is, uh, is, uh, how much is a tank, uh, you know, propane tank or gas tank for your show for the stove cost me, uh, maybe 15 bucks for every two months. So, yeah. So now do you just, is it just like going and swap, swapping out a propane tank? Do you have to take that tank? You go to like what looks like a gas station park.
Speaker: Set it next to the pump and there's a guy standing there at the pump and you tell him how much like you can get it. You can get put, put $2 in it or, you know, or, or fill it or, you know, you give them or put 15 pounds or whatever, you know, cause they do buy a poundage and you tell them put it about half full. If you don't have money or fill it up and then tank back, you have to go to the cashier and pay come back with a receipt to him.
Speaker: you get two receipts or yellow and white one, white one you keep, which is your personal receipt. And then the yellow one goes and he'll throw it back in your car for you. And the one for my stove costs, uh, like I said, about 15 bucks and not even 15 bucks, more like 10 bucks for every two months. And then my big one costs, uh, like 20, 20. So what's your big one for my dryer?
Speaker: and my water heater. It sounds like it would be so much easier just to, you know, make everything electric. Well, yeah, right. That's, that's the thing. I was like, you know, that was one of the things when I got here, I was like, why don't we just switch it all to electric? Yeah. And that was the whole concept behind the prior.
Speaker: It's like, we'll buy a new dryer that's electric, put in 229 and call it a day. And then we have one expense for the electrical bill. And when I saw the price of a dryer, I was like, yeah, I just can't pull that trigger. That just blows my mind if they're that expensive down there because, I mean, you can. Well, I don't, I don't, I think five gradients and exaggerations, I think it was like almost two gradients. Yeah, I was going to say because typically up here, I mean, you can buy that set, wash it with dryers,
Speaker: that washer dryer set for five grand. Yeah. Well, I mean, even the Washington dryer set is you can get per three, four. I mean, it's still, it's still a couple thousand dollars, still a few thousand dollars, but still, I mean, and, and we got to look at it as we literally just bought a house. So if we were like, we don't have the money to buy a margin dryer. So we have the ones we have and
Speaker: they function. So I'm not really, it's not an urgent thing, but I eventually want to upgrade. Uh, I definitely want to run it. It just seems like a complete bass, awkward system down there that you have to have a gas tank for, for your stove. I think it's a monopoly. It's a monopoly by the gas company. Like they, they, they've way back in the day, like before I was born, I was like,
Speaker: fuck electric, we want gas because then people have to buy gas. Yeah. You know, uh, one of the things that, uh, my neighbor and I, my neighbor, he just bought the house next to me. Uh, he's just started moving his stuff in a year later, but, um, he was, we were talking about, uh, putting in a well to run instead of paying a water bill. And it's, it's like 500 bucks.
Speaker: just for them to show up and start drilling. Plus all pipe and pump and all that stuff. And it comes up to about a thousand bucks. And then you never have a water bill. But you still have to pay a water bill of, it's like eight bucks a month. Because in Mexico, you don't own the land underneath you. You can own the land.
Speaker: but only so deeply. So when you drill well, you are quote unquote stealing from the government unless you're paying your water bill. Well, and I think that's, they do something similar, you know, in the States with like solar. A lot of people are starting to transition to solar power, but they still have an electric bill. I'm not, but it's, it's, it's pennies, you know, it's not nothing crazy.
Speaker: On that subject, there's a guy, I saw a video on YouTube, fell into the YouTube rabbit hole one day, and he bought some land out in the middle of fuck off nowhere, right? We're talking like 30 miles from the closest neighbor. He bought like 10 acres and then there's 200 acres between him and the next person.
Speaker: And he wanted to build it off the grid, 100 % off the grid with solar power and wind generators and well and all that stuff. And he did it. And he got fined by the quote unquote town or township he was in for not having an electrical meter. He's like, I don't need one. I have solar. And they said, well, we're going to charge you $1 ,000 every day until you have a meter.
Speaker: He says, but I don't need it. And they said, well, you still have to have it. And he had to pay like $15 ,000 for them to bury a line all the way to his house, put in a meter, and then never hook up the meter. Like it's not, it just goes right there. They can read it. Yeah. I would have just, I would have just put a fake meter up there and just be like, there's your, there's your meters.
Speaker: Meters like that have to be installed by the government agency that controls it. There's a whole bunch of fuckery is what it is. It all comes down to a consolidation of power and look, they're basically saying, look, we have more money in you. We will fight. Yeah, essentially, that was that was just them clicks in their day. I mean, I was just like,
Speaker: Yeah, smacking him on the face with him telling him it's a feather. You know, you're smacking him with our dicks because we can't. And he spent like an absorbent amount of money putting in this fucking line to the middle of nowhere. So basically they have an excuse to expand that area where he is later on at his expense. Yeah, exactly. Because
Speaker: for making him spend, I think he ended up spending like $30 ,000 putting in this one line that he doesn't use. And now the new thing is, I don't know if you found out, fell down this rabbit hole yet, but put in van life into YouTube. Oh yeah, the people, well now I haven't fallen into that wormhole, but where the people are living in vans.
Speaker: they're, they're making little like a little mini apartments and stuff in their RV. And you know, they, with the exception of a certain places you can't park overnight, they, they got it figured out because for the price of a van and maintenance on said van and gas and said van, they live rent free, you know, and they're like,
Speaker: A lot of these people have like remote jobs, like what we were talking about earlier, was they, you know, they work from home and you can get a, it looks like a toilet seat, but it sits on top of your van. And it's basically a wifi router that picks up wifi and it costs a certain amount of these months and everything, but it's basically wifi for your van or vehicle. And a lot of, I guess a lot of truck drivers have internet signal.
Speaker: for a mobile, uh, like T -Mobile and stuff sells what they call my five. Um, it's, it's, it's just a little wifi box that, you know, whether it's in your house or it's in your car where it gives you that one now 5g wifi. Uh, so you have internet wherever you go. Um, and a lot of those, those people that, that live that van life and stuff like that. Um,
Speaker: they, uh, they'll go get a membership at planet fitness, $10 a month. And that, that way they can take showers and stuff. Well, they can take showers, you know, because planet fitness has full locker rooms, full showers and everything. Yeah. They, uh, they'll do that. Um, that way they can take their showers and work out if they want to, but,
Speaker: Well, I watched one girl, she bought a, uh, an old city bus and that's her house. And she, you know, she spent like, like 70 or 80 grand on this bus and then ripped out all the seats and turned it into a mobile home. And she's got a built -in shower. She's got everything she doesn't need. But her problem is.
Speaker: So there's certain places she cannot park overnight. Well, yeah, I mean, that's that's that's that's anywhere. That would that would be really cool. I mean, if I didn't have kids or anything, that'd be such a cool thing, especially if I was there to have a job to where I can work remotely or even just like because I would love to travel. You know, I just travel and roll up into a city and be like, oh, I need a job with me. Let me go Home Depot or some shit for a couple weeks. Make a little bit of cash so that I can get to my
Speaker: my next place or some shit. Well, some of these people have like YouTube channels where they're, you know, they, they build the van on YouTube and then they just kind of vlog while they go around the country. And there's, there's one, uh, I think they're Canadian couple. They started in like as high up in Canada as you can get almost Russia and then drove all the way down to Cancun and then into Belize.
Speaker: And, you know, they made it all the way down to the bottom of South America. And now they're, they have a, like a Patreon or something where they're trying to, they're going to do the same thing in Europe with their, with their second van. And, you know, their only expense is gas and keeping the van running and food and stuff, you know, and food is just a normal thing. But I mean, their only living expenses is the van itself. Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker: And, you know, I saw one girl, she's living out of Chevy Astro minivan and I'm like, well, really? I had one of those, they're not that big. I mean, I could understand like a conversion van or something, but a minivan? Nah, it's too close. There's a kid on TikTok and I came across him a while back who went and bought one of those big eco line vans from a junkyard.
Speaker: And he's completely, and that's all his tick. I mean, he makes other tick tock videos. This is like a random ass nonsense, but other than that, all his sick tock is just him, him, uh, building this van and, and, and everything. So getting it running and getting tags. Yeah. Well, my wife and I discussed it and we're like, you know, if we didn't have kids, we'd be on that.
Speaker: because that would just, it would be really cool because say what you will about Mexico. There are some places in Mexico that are just fucking beautiful. My wife and her friend went to Chiapas and here in Mexico and like some of them, like people talk about going to Niagara and be like, wow, it was amazing. Niagara ain't got shit on some places they went here.
Speaker: just lush and green and pretty and not overly touristized because the negative thing that you have about Mexico is when you tell somebody, oh, it's Mexico, they're like, ew. And you're like, really? How close minded are you? But when you get in there, some of the food down here, holy shit. I was talking about this with a friend of mine the other day.
Speaker: My wife has a lot of family in Mexico City, the biggest city in the world. And we go up about once a year. We haven't gone this year just because pandemic bullshit, but when we go up there, there's a place down from her grandmother's house that I'm not off the plane three seconds. And I'm like, we gotta go, we gotta go, we gotta go, we gotta go there. Because they sell a sandwich the size of a fucking steering wheel.
Speaker: Yeah, for like $2. And it's got, it's got every mustard, mayonnaise, dirt from the ground, half of a kitchen sink, everything's on it. And it's $2, you know? And it's amazing. There's a guy there, I haven't found him yet, but a buddy of mine went and he took a video. He's like, I went up and I wanted a hot dog. He's,
Speaker: Heard about this place is selling hot dogs. So he went over there and he says, yeah, I'll take a hot dog. And the guy says, what do you want on it? He says everything. And he says, uh, he says, all right. So this guy pulls out a bun that is three feet long and proceeds to put nine hot dog, nine or 10 hot dogs in it. And every condiment known to man on said hot dog.
Speaker: and fucking just and the thing was like five bucks. That's fucking insane though. Who the hell is going to eat that? My buddy said he he ate it for that night and then had it had the rest of it for breakfast. You can't say you can't save a hot dog. A hot dog's got it. I put it in the fridge. He wrapped it in tin foil, threw it in the fridge and ate the rest for breakfast. But that sounds like something like he said, you know, when you order like
Speaker: like the big party subs and their God knows how big they are, but you know, you get a big party sub, but then they cut it in the, in the, you know, normal sandwich sizes. They almost had to do that on that with that hot dog. Yeah. Excuse me. But I was like, holy crap, man. And every time I go up Mexico city, I go looking for this hot dog vendor. The problem is Mexico city is such a big place that
Speaker: You can't, you can't find it to save your ass. You know, it's like trying to find ice in the desert. It's not going to happen. So I have like nine of her relatives constantly searching for this hot dog vendor. And I'm like, you fucking give me that dude's number. Give me, give me the exact coordinates.
Speaker: And what time he'll be there so I can be there to get me a fucking hot dog. Cause I watched this, I've watched that, that video that he sent me like five or six times on my old phone. I don't have the video anymore, but I watched it and I was like, holy crap. I want one of those. And I'm not a big hot dog guy. I make a mean chili dog, but, but I, uh, I watched it and I was like, Oh, I want that. The, the, the food in Mexico.
Speaker: is, you know, there's people that go, I like Italian food, or I like this Mexican food, real Mexican food, not, not fucking Taco Bell, not fucking some Mexican restaurant in New York, or something. I'm talking about real in Mexico, street food, a guy in a cart in a propane tank. He's cooking for you. Some of the best food you'll ever eat. Hands down.
Speaker: Y 'all be loving them propane tanks down there. Well, the guys that set up their little hot dog stands, in certain areas, not where I live, because it's such a new section and there's rules against it, but in certain sections of town, you'll drive through at night just heading home and see hot dog stands, hamburger stands, and guys selling tortas and empanadas and all over.
Speaker: Well my buddy Every time I walked off so I ended up stopping at his house for 10 minutes and shooting the shit with him He's a fan of the show He he sells where I taste at night where watches are basically like a Let me put it in layman's turn it's a it's a doughy base almost like a pizza crust but it's not pizza dough it's a
Speaker: It's masa. It's like what you make tortillas out of. And it's about an eighth and a inch thick. And then you have beans, some sort of meat, whether it be chicken or, or steak or lamb or whatever on top. And then some lettuce and tomatoes. And the only problem is
Speaker: It's what surprised me about Mexico. There's not more 400 ,000 pound person because uh, you know, one of the things they tell you in, in any workout is like, okay, start cutting out bread because bread is fattening. Well, everything's down here is on a tortilla, which is basically bread. I mean, it's corn tortillas, but
Speaker: But it's like, how are there not 400 pound people around here? Because my, my in -laws will go through in a meal of four people, they'll go through a half kilo tortillas in every meal. And I'm not a tortilla guy. I hate corn tortillas. I love flour tortillas. There's a brand down here. It's called Tia Rosa, Aunt Rosa. And
Speaker: The best flour tortillas you'll ever buy. I love them. And they come in packs of 18 and a pack of 22. And I'll kill off a pack of 22. Just sitting around and watching TV. You're just eating tortillas with nothing on it? Well, no, I'll make quesadillas for myself. No, I got you. I'll make a couple quesadillas, or a couple quesadillas. And I do it right, though.
Speaker: I use like four or five different kinds of cheese. My wife loves cheese. I'm not a cheese guy. I'm not a cheese connoisseur. You know, my, my idea of cheese is the American slice is the, you know, the craft. She, I'm like, guess where that on, but she buys a Penella cheese. She buys a, um, what's the other one? Montego. Uh,
Speaker: some Swiss, you know, and so there's always cheese in my fridge. Yeah. And I'll, I'll take a bunch of different cheeses and I'll grind, you know, shred it up. And I'll put that on my, on my quesadillas. I'll make three or four quesadillas. And I keep, I put sour cream next to it.
Speaker: Now the cheese thing, man, we get a lot of, uh, we use a lot of cheese and everything up here, shredded cheese. I mean that I go to the grocery store and, and, uh, I'll buy three or four bags of shredded cheese and it's usually gone within like two or three meals. It's it's ridiculous. But, uh,
Speaker: Technical difficulties number two. We were just coming to an end, so why don't we go ahead and wrap this bad boy up? Yeah. Yeah, I think with a little bit of editing, we might be able to get this all in one as opposed to three parts. If not, it'll be three parts and, you know, hey, congratulations. Yeah, what the heck? You get three parts of this bullshit.
Speaker: of two idiots that had other plans for talking tonight and then decided to just ran for about 100 % nonsense to set a nonsense goal. Just 100 % nonsense. I legit had a few things I wanted to bring up, but we can bring that up the next step, the next time we'll record. I got to learn to cut you off.
Speaker: I'm going to start doing like they do with the award shows. I'm just going to randomly play music in the back. Genius. I start hearing music in my headphones. I'm like, all right, I need to shut the fuck up. Time to shut up and move on, buddy. Offstage. But no, I mean, we're still learning. We're still navigating through this. So yeah, you also got to remember we we
Speaker: We don't really know what we're doing, so we're kind of feeling each other out as well. But we're absolutely 100 % learning as we go. Plus, you got to factor in the, I'm in Ohio, you're in Mexico, it's not like we're sitting in the same room together. Yeah. One thing, if you could put your finger in front of your mouth and go, shut the fuck up.
Speaker: Just every once in a while hear a smack and be like, what the hell? There's pictures on our Instagram of me with black eyes saying, I'm going to need to shut the fuck up. What do you call a Jeff with two black eyes? Not twice.
Speaker: But yeah, so yeah, we'll go ahead and wrap this up. Like I said, hopefully I can figure out how to get them all in one, if not, it'll be. And then the next time we record. Link to an app for editing audio. That way you can actually put it all in one. It's actually super simple to do so. But yeah, I guess this is the end of episode two.
Speaker: part two the paladin strikes back i don't know if that's even a star wars reference
Speaker: We'll probably eventually stop saying episode blah blah blah Yeah, well, I think we just need to switch the numbers cuz calling an episode every time somebody says episode I Think of Star Wars. I just I'm like Season one episode three Go ahead and wrap this up you want to give us a close down and
Speaker: I'll do my best here. Thank you guys for hanging out and sticking with us. If you've made it this far, uh, we need to get better at mentioning our social media, uh, nonsensical nonsense on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and take talk and the Gmail account at nonsensical nonsense podcast at gmail .com. You guys have any questions, suggestions, or if you just want to tell us we're fucking morons, feel free to reach out.
Speaker: And you mentioned me the other day that we're on how many different podcasting sites? We are on Spotify, Anchor, Google Play, iTunes, and three or four other ones that I don't know the names of yet.
Speaker: because every day I get a notification that says, congratulations, your podcast has been approved for blah, blah, blah. But if you just go to the anchor page, which is posted at the top of the Facebook group, um, it'll take you straight to the anchor page and it'll take you either directly to Spotify or it'll take you to the other platforms. Yeah. So the very choose your own adventure of platforms. Exactly.
Speaker: And I think that's the best way, if anybody's listening, that's the best way to actually find the best median for your nonsensical non -scast listening pleasure. Yes, exactly, because we are on iTunes.
Speaker: We're a little bit everywhere. Yeah. Until somebody with power listens to this and they're like, get these fucking morons out of here. Yeah. Until somebody's like, we need to shut these guys up permanently. On the other hand, they could say we need to do exclusive rights, these fuckers, because they're retarded. They're just like watching a slow, slow train wreck.
Speaker: And they can influence the writer if there's enough zeros. Amen to that. We put enough zeros. At this point is great. At this point is about three zeros. Three zeros. As in ten dollars. Exactly. We'll give you a dollar to shut the hell up.
Speaker: That worked too. You win. That way I can say I've made money on a podcast before. Exactly.
Speaker: Yeah. So it's been fun, man, as usual. See when you want to record again. Thank you guys again for listening. And if you haven't already, check out the social media, hit us up. We are trying to, I know I'm trying to post more out there that we can, that we can incorporate, incorporate into the podcast as well. Go ahead.
Speaker: Other stuff, polls, questions, random. If you want to bring up a topic to have us discuss, please, because we're constantly struggling for topics. We're not struggling for topics, we just can't get you to shut up. Yeah, that too. I need to get a muzzle. I wonder if I could order a crop collar that would work all the way from here to there.
Speaker: It all comes down to a lull in the conversation. I'm like, we got to fill this. We can't have like, we can't have dead air. Yeah, that'd be all right. Yeah. Let's go ahead and close down shop for tonight. We'll talk some more guys again. Thank you. Those of you who have listened so far, if you like it, thank you. I know I got yelled at last week by my pops. He did listen and he yelled at me. I was actually shocked that my mom listens to us.
Speaker: That's awesome. But yeah, check us out. Leave us a comment. Maybe telling me to shut up or something. And if you do go to the Anchor page, you can actually leave voice messages for us that we can listen to. And we can add them into the podcast as well.
Speaker: Yeah. And I'm, I'm advanced. I'm saying, don't send a voice message that says, shut the fuck up. We're hearing a lot of those. But yeah, thanks everybody for listening and we'll catch you next time. Exactly. Jeff, thanks for hanging out with me once again. And we're out of here. All right. Bye.
