Speaker
Hello and welcome to the Kill Power Hour, podcast where three friends spend the better part of an hour arguing and explaining why we're going to party like it's 1994. Each week we go through a list, and this week we'll be discussing Tyler's second list, which isn't making me happy. i'll be I'm your host, Eric. As always, I'm joined by my best friend Tucker. Here I am.
00:00:27
Speaker
And my best friend's little brother. It's today, not yesterday. It's today. you have a calendar? I thought you had a beer can to open. You left me hanging there. hold on, hold on.
00:00:40
Speaker
There you go. Only bottles. Get that piss baby out. Piss babies. Whoop, whoop. Get
00:00:48
Speaker
the pair out. Piss baby in. I can't watch. Like, I was really hoping that a lot of the...
90s Disney Nostalgia
00:00:56
Speaker
Are you gonna disparage the Disney afternoon? I'm gonna stop.
00:00:59
Speaker
Yeah, fuck it, man. I can't watch DuckTales. I can't watch fucking... No. Tales of the Originals? Darkwing Duck. Darkwing Duck? Yeah, can't do it. Really? Yeah, shit is my shit.
00:01:11
Speaker
What's that? I've been watching all the DuckTales. In fact, I've watched all three seasons, like two times over this winter. Maybe I'll truck through, I'll give you two episodes. If I can make it through two episodes, maybe it'll spark what it needs to spark. You get to like episode eight or so of the first season, which is all like every story is two to three episodes. There's all to be continued.
00:01:33
Speaker
ah But you get to like episode eight or so where they invent Gizmoduck and it's pretty fucking bad. Oh shit. oh shit Oh shit. EC, what was your like- Fenton McQuack. Fentanyl quack?
00:01:45
Speaker
No, Fenton McQuack. He's just dead all the time. that's ah that's That's the main reason why the series hasn't been rebooted. Holy shit. what do i What did I watch growing up?
00:01:57
Speaker
Yeah. ah Same stuff. Yeah. I mean, i was a we did have cable, so Nickelodeon and MTV were pretty heavy. Fucking big baller. Wow.
Railroad Stories and Significance
00:02:07
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:02:09
Speaker
Dad had a job. but but What'd your dad do for a living? Railroad. I don't know. He was just always out to get smokes. um No, yeah, he worked for the railroad.
00:02:21
Speaker
he was He was in the management side. but Burlington Northern? What did he Started out Milwaukee, then got bought by Sioux Line, and that got bought out by Canadian Pacific. so Yella.
00:02:32
Speaker
He was yella. If I remember correctly right. railroad fanatic myself. I still love it. It's fucking great, but no one cares. so I can't believe these, when Burlington Northern got bought, I fucking hate the new colors.
00:02:46
Speaker
the That black and green and white? Yeah. Yeah, yeah they look really dumb. They buried the Burlington Northern branding, which was far superior than the Santa Fe bullshit. The Santa Fe, though the original branding that they had, at least when we were growing up, was pretty fucking cool too. I felt like all the trains had pretty cool branding actually. Yeah, yeah. it's like like Legacy brands.
00:03:08
Speaker
it's so Absolutely. It's like the pride of the company is is this like fucking gigantic thing. and It is a billboard. um you know it's It's kind of sad, but. It is what it is.
00:03:20
Speaker
It's the background of America making all of our lives significantly better. Yeah. I'll give you that. It's There's nothing more. The internet of its day. Let's just say that every sort of gnarly railroad crash of toxic chemicals burning down shit and killing people, that's fucking awful. And holding people accountable.
00:03:40
Speaker
On the other side of it, they move a lot of goods and they do it cheaply at a very – My dad was telling me that one time he went out to Minot, sorry, one more story. he went out to Minot in North Dakota.
00:03:53
Speaker
and There was a big train derailment I think like some ammonia tanks like split open. and He just brought a bunch of mirrors to clean. Uh, but it was like early on in his, or no, it was during a flood. That's what it was. Anyways, he had to go in and he had to literally drag.
00:04:09
Speaker
No, no, no. This is like seventies. Uh, and he had to drag bodies out like off of the tracks. I was like, Jesus Christ, dad. And he's been in the Vietnam war and I haven't heard any of those stories. No shit.
00:04:21
Speaker
Yeah. No shit. Yeah. Dragging bodies off the tracks. Wow. I was like, okay. Just like on a family trip and like he's telling us these stories. Minot ammonia train wreck. Bodies.
00:04:37
Speaker
Body dragging. This was a flood. Maybe it was Rapid City was the flood and Minot was the ammonia spill. I'm pretty sure. Anyways, Tyler has a list.
00:04:49
Speaker
Trains aren't on it. It should be on your next one, though. I would love to talk more about trains. Yeah, yeah. um and why Why the fuck aren't you happy, you see? Wait, this is number one.
00:05:01
Speaker
Oh, I'm actually really happy. What? When? When did this happen? Well, listen, you have a sample bias, so you're always seeing me when I'm talking to you.
Happiness and Personal Well-being
00:05:13
Speaker
So i' not going to be that happy then. Sample Happiness is like perception. I feel like what it's it's ah ah human being is very finicky One thing could be so fucking great one day and the the stupidest shit could really ruin everything for a significant period of time. Yeah, yeah I get that. And I feel – I see that in myself. I see that in other people.
00:05:39
Speaker
And my first thought is a lot of the shit we're constantly unhappy about is – fucking trivial shit that you could you could ask ah another reasonable person about and they would be like oh that's the fucking dumbest shit ever or they could be like oh here's the two steps to solve your fucking stupid problem you dummy um There you go, man.
00:06:03
Speaker
This reminds me of a book. It's called Don't Sweat the Small Stuff. And then it's like, it all small stuff. I didn't read it. Silverstein? No.
00:06:11
Speaker
Silverstein was great. I think that wasn't good. It just sounds like it ah one of his poems or something. No, i that was a book I feel like I got as a graduation present when we graduated from high school. Oh, really?
00:06:28
Speaker
I think so. I just got a pat on the back and like, don't fuck up. Don't make me a grandparent sort of talk.
00:06:36
Speaker
I would say if anyone's experiencing troubles with happiness, I would say like, well, I'm a big proponent of therapy. ah Go to fucking therapy. It helps. And then also just the Buddhist philosophy, I would say overall. I i double dipped and actually got a Buddhist therapist. So was perfect. Oh, yeah.
00:06:55
Speaker
But as soon as you like learn to just let go. She's right. Yeah. You're not going fucking call her out and give her a fucking shout out? No, anyway. um Define this Buddhist philosophy. It sounds yeah like a fucking liberal agenda.
00:07:13
Speaker
it's ah It's just not, it's living, it's trying to be as present as possible. Oh. Yeah. that's That's really the main thing. is like just That's what makes me sad. Don't dwell on the shit in the past. And don't get worried about stuff in the future. yeah i mean, if you have shitty present. that's like,
00:07:31
Speaker
You're going a bad Christmas. I mean, this like this moment right now is the only thing that's real. No, so my my normal ah way to like exist through life is always focusing on the future.
00:07:43
Speaker
Yeah, that's for most people, I think, is, right? Yeah. You're just worrying about it. I'm just sitting in a basement staring at a fucking computer with two ghostly white creatures complaining about their fucking problems.
00:07:58
Speaker
This is the highlight your fucking day. yeah We're the ghostly white. No, i actually just won $225 bingo. Fuck you guys. brilliant you guys Yeah, that's why I was late. At the fucking dial. Oh, just now.
00:08:08
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, wow. That's why you're like... Granted, it cost me $80 to fucking have four Miller lights and a thing of chicken fingers. but Oh, God. But still, I walked out of there with money in my hand.
00:08:20
Speaker
Okay. So, win-win. This became a really old man podcast. This season three is really off. I went to bingo yesterday. I got a
Music Tastes and Traditions
00:08:30
Speaker
fucking ah Instagram ad for colonoscopies. No. Oh, God. I was like, holy shit, I feel seen. Yes.
00:08:40
Speaker
Holy fuck. I would say also if you're really unhappy, just fucking put down your phone and stop watching TV for a little bit. Yeah. Like I think a lot of people. Yeah.
00:08:51
Speaker
At least in the US, most people are miserable because they're on Facebook or social media. Music is still the root of happiness in a lot of cases. like It can get me either deeper into the funk, which is a requirement for me to typically get out of that funk. So I can tailor what I want. i Yeah, I agree with you.
00:09:11
Speaker
the non-visual stimulant, the the disconnection from the shit that has always existed throughout our fucking lifetimes, throughout human history that we never knew about before.
00:09:23
Speaker
um Yeah. Fucking separate yourself and, For me, it's when I'm physically active and when I'm focused. Oh, yeah. Like if I'm focused on doing a thing, I'm like riding high.
00:09:36
Speaker
Doing things? Even if the thing is hard, right? Seriously. Because yeah yeah most of the day, it's just like um you're getting pulled and interrupted. And as a person who has ADHD, that's like poison.
00:09:51
Speaker
for and and ah ah you know It's like salt in a cut. you know So what would you do? This is a question for both of you. Tomorrow, you don't have anything to do.
00:10:02
Speaker
And no one's going to ask you, ask anything of you. And no one's going to know that you're even around. What do you do? Oh, God. I would...
00:10:14
Speaker
go snowboarding early in the morning as early as i could be there come home eat a baller ass lunch take a fucking nap then i would read and then after that i'd probably just be stoked and who knows yeah nice but i'd be rested exercised and outdoors doing things that are like specific and and singular yeah like that's the recipe right there for me yeah Tyler, after you got done masturbating for the 40th time. Oh yeah, worked that in there so much.
00:10:48
Speaker
For hours. The first six hours I'd be trying to get hard. oh Jesus Christ. Hey man, is the old guy. Ain't that old guy yet.
00:11:04
Speaker
Why ain't you working? um Hey honey, give me a stick. Man, I like the sunlight, but it's probably not going to be sunny tomorrow.
00:11:16
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:19
Speaker
Wow. I'm good. Good answer. Well, it's not going to be sunny tomorrow. I don't know. i'm just going to stay inside and cry. There won't be weather to weather.
00:11:31
Speaker
All right. Number two. um You see you first. What didd you listen to this week? Still rocking the CDs I'm getting from the library. So had the Beatles Revolver. Oh, that's a good one. i like one. That's a really good one. I didn't really listen to it that much. And then Slow Dive, like a What do you call them? Shoegaze band. Slow dive. They have a new record out.
00:11:56
Speaker
And then I was listening to an old Boards of Canada record. They're kind like electronic, more instrumental. Early aughts, right? Yeah, late 90s, early aughts. They're good, actually. It holds up for sure. What about you guys?
00:12:12
Speaker
MF Doom. Mmm Food. I've been listening to a lot lately. Like a lot. That album's fucking amazing. Did he die? Yeah. I mean, he's one of the best lyricists ever. Yeah. ah That, I've been listening to the Blue Album, like Weezer's Blue Album. Yeah. They're going because they're doing that a tour on that. They're coming here in September. I'm go to surprise Ebzen with tickets because Dinosaur Jr. is fucking opening for them. Oh, nice. Yeah. Where are they building those? Excel.
00:12:40
Speaker
Oh, so you can bring it. In St. Paul, yeah yeah. So the Blue Album, because he likes to sing along to it, which is fun. yeah And then a bunch of scattered Bjork songs. We should talk about how ah greatly approachable Weezer music is.
00:12:57
Speaker
Oh, yeah. And it's because it's good. And if you said, Tyler, do you like Weezer? I would say no But then I would say, yes. It's such deliciously great sounding music. It's recorded so well. The songs are written so catchy.
00:13:14
Speaker
They are the fucking Beatles, man. but they're But everything else after Blue Album was shit. Pinkerton had like three cuts. oh Pinkerton was so good.
00:13:26
Speaker
Really? Yeah, yeah. It's the the best one of them. yeah Anyways. Wow. Tyler, have you ever listened to an interview with the Rivers Cuomo, the main songwriter? Yeah, a handful of times. Does he suck? That's what bums me out about fucking... No, he's not bad.
00:13:42
Speaker
He's fine. i think he... Well, I thought you'd be into... he has like a whole system for writing songs. Like, it gets down to a math for him. Yes, that's it. broke his math, though, for like every album since Pinkerton, though.
00:13:56
Speaker
I think he keeps trying to refine the algorithm. Well, he's broken. He's broken. that Well, he wanted to be in a big band. No, you're fucking a what band? In a big band, a huge band.
00:14:08
Speaker
And when you have to appeal to you know to enough people to be able to sell out the Excel Center, yeah you have to make some compromises on the quality work. But did they ever sell enough? I mean, did they become Dude, they have a cruise. Yeah.
00:14:25
Speaker
Like there's a Weezer cruise. You can go on cruise. feel like they were not commercially successful after Pinkerton. Okay, so we've talked about this in previous podcasts that are unreleased.
Car Dealership Lessons and Politics
00:14:35
Speaker
Unreleased. No. The perception of what's good based on when you listen to it.
00:14:41
Speaker
yeah I talk to people, one of my favorite albums of all time is fucking Everclear, Sparkle and Fade. yeah album But everyone else is like the fucking later ah fucking Everclear albums, which I think are fucking garbage and trash. But that's what the folks, if you listen to them, they sound very similar. Sparkle and Fade. Is that that Father of Mine song on it?
00:15:04
Speaker
No, that, no. That's the later ones. Those are the that are terrible. That's what I'm getting at. In all reality, if you look back and you had no per like previous perception on this, like you'd look at both of these albums and be like, oh, they're this sounds the fucking same.
00:15:21
Speaker
But no, we grew up with specific ones and they fucking... pull all the strings for us, and that's why we think they're better. I'm not saying that bad albums don't exist, but I think we are skewed.
00:15:33
Speaker
Yes. Okay. Skewed.
00:15:37
Speaker
but but What have you been listening to? Yeah. well yeah so All kinds of shit. Well, Alcline Trio is going here on Monday. Tucker, I have an extra ticket for you. Oh, yeah. Fuck. Okay. Let me see. um Gabby accidentally bought two sets of tickets, I think. Oh, no. So I think I have some tickets. But anyway, whatever.
00:15:53
Speaker
Tucker so doesn't want to go to this concert. like I know so you don't have to go it's okay I'll just fucking burn the ticket I piss on it and then I'll burn it but kinda wanna no New Auckland Trail is great Strung Out has a new album coming out so they're like trickling out songs and they're actually surprisingly good So, hooray for them. And then there's, ah you know, i fucking Spotify could fucking fall off a bridge.
00:16:16
Speaker
But ah Workout to Workout, the yeah fucking set list on Spotify is fucking great, man. Workout to Workout? Dude, City Girls. Do you work out to it or you just put on the shop? No, Saweetie, Lotto, fucking, I don't really like Nicki Minaj, but that's great too. Cardi B, fucking...
00:16:35
Speaker
It's so good. I fucking love it. Damn, okay. All right. Then it went down the hole of- Which hole? Which one? Dude, City Girls t-shirts, man. i fucking, I'm gonna buy all them. Did you buy some?
00:16:47
Speaker
Well, we're gonna find out. Did they say stupid shit? Is it just them? best shit ever. And yeah, it's it's so good. And they got their pictures on there and I just need i need more City Girls t-shirts.
00:17:00
Speaker
Dude, I have so much. Oh, speaking of which. Send me a link of a good City Girls t-shirt. Look at that. Oh, Tucker has a cool The Jerk out of Steve Martin's The Jerk.
00:17:13
Speaker
t-shirt with him walking out of his house circle jerks circle jerks oh i didn't even get that reference it's the circle jerk uh album with the jerk and then they fill in the blanks yeah that's pretty good i knew you guys would appreciate that but yes i support you in getting shirts uh that are crazy and or just have pictures of people on them and stuff also band shirts if you hold on to them You could sell those or here's what's happening right now is band shirts that are vintage from the nineties. Yeah.
00:17:48
Speaker
Nine. That's hilarious. I'm saying vintage nineties, but it is. Yeah. That's fucking, uh, they, they sell for hundreds of dollars. how People are collectors and they want to tap into that nostalgia that they had from when they were a kid and they finally have a job.
00:18:03
Speaker
i So let's just think about it. The people between 35 and 42, 45, we all now have money. thirty five and forty two forty five we all now have money yeah So now we can go buy the Tyco Bandit RC car o seriously ah off of eBay for $500 and then bring it home and then play with it for 10 minutes and put on the shelf and it makes us feel good.
00:18:28
Speaker
Exactly. God damn, that thing was fucking cool. It was cool. I have like one five no i'm five wing shirts that could sell for hundreds of dollars each. Shit, get paid.
00:18:38
Speaker
Yeah. and It's a backup. What's funny is i've got a I've got a bunch of ah band shirts that apparently I was really... They were, they fit my 13 year old child.
00:18:50
Speaker
Oh, ah almost a little tight, but I wore them as an 18 year old. Whoa. So they were fucking great muscles. I mean, they were, I'm loving every part of this.
00:19:00
Speaker
I got to find some fucking pictures of this, but yeah. It's just, it's really funny. Dude, that bandit. i would say the other thing I listened to this week, I've been doing with a couple of friends. We have these listening parties where each person brings a record. Yeah.
00:19:17
Speaker
and then we choose collectively which record we're gonna listen to. And then we just listen to the whole thing and we don't talk. In a room together? In a room together, ye yeah. like But you only listen to one?
00:19:30
Speaker
We only listen to one record, yeah. okay With your clothes on? With our clothes on, And you don't say anything? Nope. I mean, we'll talk between the sides, but otherwise it's it's about just like a collective close listening.
00:19:44
Speaker
It's pretty fun. And then what happens when the album's done? I ask the people to leave the house. You guys do it at your place. We take turns hosting. yeah But for real, like when Side B is done, you discuss the album? Sometimes. i mean It'll usually spurn conversations. or We might have a little bit of time where people get to play their favorite tracks off of the records that they brought.
00:20:10
Speaker
But don't listen to a whole record again. I can't believe that you don't
00:20:15
Speaker
Like what if somebody brings an album every time and like no one ever picks it? Then they just never get to play along really? Is there a sad person that always shows up? Just just really sad. This is a good like sketch premise. I like that. It keeps bringing the same record. Just the fucking barking dogs doing Christmas songs.
00:20:35
Speaker
Oh God. it was There was a hardcore punk band that had ah German Shepherds as the singers. And I'm trying to think the name is like right on the tip of my fucking mind. well We will revisit this. This will be on my next list. the the ri The record that we did listen to, one of the people took a class with Adrian Lenker from Big Thief. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She does like a songwriting class.
00:20:57
Speaker
Okay. And it was like an online thing where, you know, there thousands of people signed up for. Yeah. And there were, I think, 20 people just in town that were on this class. Oh, wow. And so all of them recorded recorded.
00:21:10
Speaker
part of the class was you have to write a song every week. And so they took their favorite songs and they pressed them to a record. Cause we have like three record pressing plants in town. So, yeah, that's dope. She was, she, it she used to live in Minneapolis on and off and actually, Oh really? She, she was dating our, one of Ebzen's babysitters.
00:21:32
Speaker
Oh, nice. Yeah. Good gossip. Yeah. Cool. Cool. Cool. Okay, number three on a list. ah So on my list, i something I've always wondered
Selling Online Challenges
00:21:45
Speaker
in my life. My favorite. favorite.
00:21:47
Speaker
And I feel like this has to do a lot with our father used to bring us to car dealerships to buy cars about twice a year. Every weekend. Yeah, but wait he would he would buy at least two cars a year. Yeah. Why? Because- He'll just trade us Yes. Oh, dude. Which is a- He's not holding on to him, right?
00:22:07
Speaker
This is a terrible life choice. Yeah, but a lot of debt. Buying a car at a dealer and then trading it into a dealer is never something that works out.
00:22:20
Speaker
um You can kind of play it where you don't lose tens of thousands of dollars, maybe just a couple thousand, is ah so well thousands of dollars. more yeah you know ah So we we we spent a lot of time in Chrysler dealerships. Oh my God. Mopar.
00:22:36
Speaker
Yeah, Mopar. Mopar or no car, brother. Straight up. or No car no car. Which I actually loved. That's the first time ever drank coffee. ah Yeah. No, I like a chryslers smell the smell of ah of ah these cars. Anyway, so I would say mid 90s.
00:22:57
Speaker
Okay. 93, 92, 94, somewhere around there. We're in Roseville Chrysler Dodge Jeep. And there is a um a dark green Dodge Stout.
00:23:08
Speaker
Stealth, which was a Mitsubishi 3000 GT. Four wheel steering, fucking turbo, fucking sweet car. And then I looked behind it oh and there was a fucking Dodge Viper there. and i can remember... it um My tiny little hands, like, feeling the fucking swoopy-ass gross hood. Oh, yeah. Your tiny little dick starting
Motorcycle Tour Planning
00:23:34
Speaker
to get hard for the first time.
00:23:36
Speaker
Yeah, no. And they let me, like, i we were there so often, like, yeah they were cool with us hanging out because we were respectful and, uh... Ish. Yeah.
00:23:47
Speaker
I just remember standing this car. How long were you guys spending? This is ah an aspect into your childhood that I don't think I've ever fully consciously registered. Oh, wow. Like, how, so it's a weekend, your dad has you.
00:24:02
Speaker
How many hours are you spending at the dealership? Well, it happened more before that because by the time it was just mom and dad, they had already divorced over debt, which was from the vehicles. Cars.
00:24:14
Speaker
Yeah, and I just looked it up. The $44,000 he had on in credit card debt alone in 1994 is $92,000 now.
00:24:25
Speaker
Jesus. Equivalent, right? Equivalent to. yeah But what did he he didn't have anything. That's what I don't get. Well, because he would pay. So he would buy a car, which instantly loses value.
00:24:37
Speaker
He would trade it in months later. Like you said, six months later for another car. He has to pay that difference. So he was swiping the difference between what the thing was worth and what he owed on it.
00:24:52
Speaker
OK. So he was never going into these very consecutive, very frequent car
Soda Preferences Debate
00:24:58
Speaker
purchases with any sort of actual capital. He had no equity. Yeah. yeah And then, so.
00:25:05
Speaker
I want your dad ah to have hosted a show that was like anti-flippers. Oh my God. It's like just terrible financial decision. Do you love losing money?
00:25:18
Speaker
<unk>s like the best thing you can do is drive a new car off the lot and immediately return it. Yes. Yes. No, I mean, yeah, that's like that's the shtick, man. Any car you buy, unless it's like crazy hot, which is inflated price anyway, as soon as you drive it off the lot, it's like fucking an easy $5,000 haircut off the top. I think that's the rule. So if you do that repeatedly, As he did.
00:25:45
Speaker
Ooh. Another thing that happened, this this is like a magical moment. I'm pretty sure this happened in like a weekend. We were there so often that with the... the um General manager of Roseville Chrysler Dodge, the first 1994 Dodge Ram, which was the new body style, which yeah honestly shook the entire fucking automotive market.
00:26:08
Speaker
Absolutely. it It looked like a fucking Kenworth Semi, but it was a Dodge truck. It was huge. Yeah, yeah. The first one in the state was there. And he's like, do you want to go for a ride?
00:26:20
Speaker
Which is a really creepy thing to say to someone that was 1994. So how old was I? 10 years old. Young. Yeah, I was 10 years old. And i I went in there and we like drove a couple laps around the dealerships that are around there. And I'm like, I saw this thing. I'm like, this is the craziest shit I've ever seen. yeah You are my new dad. Yes. Can my dad? do you have last day you have last death?
00:26:46
Speaker
Can you marry my mom? You have a big truck. Oh, daddy's here. Okay, so anyway, 1994 Dodge Viper. You won't. It's got the feels. Looks Hot Wheels car.
00:26:57
Speaker
It is a terrible car. It is a terrible car. They made a V10. It had good ratings online. Ratings from what? Rotten Tomatoes? I don't know. It was 4.4 out of 5.
00:27:11
Speaker
Its engine was a V10 that was based off of an engine designed in the 60s. From Lamborghini, right? Yeah. Well, no, it was a LA block, like a 340, which is their small block.
00:27:22
Speaker
They put two more cylinders on it. And then Lamborghini did some head work and like- Which they owned at the time. Yeah, yeah, which they owned at the time. And then the car is basically like a kit car feel. There's a lot of fiberglass panels, ah no door handles, vinyl windows, like soft top, like- It's really not a complete car. It's probably not a great car, but I still am going to buy one because they're not that much money and it's going to be great driving around in a Dodge Viper. So I will see you fuckers in hell in a couple of years driving around my ah probably like fucking bright yellow Dodge Viper.
00:27:59
Speaker
and it'll be great. So fuck you. It's like the quintessential like deadbeat dad's midlife crisis car. Yeah, but but here's the thing is that nobody would ever buy a Dodge Viper.
00:28:09
Speaker
Yeah, sure not. Nobody's like, you know what? Unless I was the best that they afford. No, but it's not that. Okay, so it's so far off. If Perry Garrick was alive, he would drive he would buy it.
00:28:20
Speaker
I don't know, man. just so Like you could go buy a Corvette, like a cool Corvette. Corvettes look cooler. Like this is something you choose because you're a weirdo. Dodge Vipers. Dodge Vipers are the Pepsi of cars. Whoa. That's very 90. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you about something about fucking cars
Memorable Past Experiences
00:28:39
Speaker
nowadays.
00:28:39
Speaker
try to find ah Try to buy a fucking car for less than $50,000. Right? They don't have one that's under. But you can go buy a fucking mid-2000s Bentley for $25,000. That's hilarious. Yeah.
00:28:55
Speaker
that's hilarious yeah That car used to be
00:28:59
Speaker
but now you can get it for a fucking pennies. Pants. But a Hyundai with a 42-inch TV in it's fucking 40 grand. Yeah, that's kind of what it is. There's like these supercars out there that don't really hold the value in the stillers. But they're awesome. They're really amazing, weird fucking cars. Like a Suzuki Samurai.
00:29:18
Speaker
oh Well, that's not a supercar, but I agree. It's so cool, man. It's a super-duper car. Yeah. like every once while I see a Zuzu trooper from 88 or 89. Yes. I'm like, Oh dude, so close. do ah Tucker, do you have a midlife crisis car? Like if what's I'm just, he's looking luck early on the market.
00:29:44
Speaker
grab If I could just honestly, if I could get my little three 25 back, Remember that red car that I almost died in, but German engineering saved my life.
00:29:56
Speaker
Yeah. That thing That's cool And I bought it for like three grand. And I guarantee you we could sell that thing for probably 20 right now because those things have gone through the roof too. was mint. Mint.
00:30:08
Speaker
It had – I mean, Recaro is like a leather racing seat company. They put in fucking race cars and shit. It had stock Recaro seats. I love how – like I remember it was pretty hard for you to reach that monetary – ah mo Yeah, i like three fucking grand. That was insane.
00:30:28
Speaker
And you bought that car with that $3,000. Oh, fucking bright red. Cherry red. 325. I'm like, out of all the cars that you could fucking buy that were probably a way better choice. No, i I love every part of this. I mean, yeah.
00:30:44
Speaker
That's what was in my head. And yeah, fucking sliding upside down. Two-door, five-speed rear. mean, yeah. The Honda Civic with 10,000 miles would have taken him. Holy fucking shit. In a very different life direction. Yes, it would have. Yes, it would have.
00:30:59
Speaker
Funny. ah Next up. Yeah. I refuse to watch anything about politics right now, especially about the election. I refuse to talk about politics. So let's move on to the next point on your list.
00:31:12
Speaker
No, it just, I mean, it gives me full anxiety. And I agree with you. I just, it's the fucking worst. Yeah. It's got no part of my life. I don't want to hear about it. I don't want talk about it with my friends. i don't want to talk about it with people I don't like.
00:31:25
Speaker
Yeah. I don't, I'm not going to convince anything of anybody. like Oh, also guys, I, even though we haven't published this yet, I feel like we still need to make a statement about what's going on in Palestine.
00:31:36
Speaker
Yeah. I'm joking. Not every fucking person needs to make a statement about things. What the fuck? Yeah, I don't – what's great is I don't know what's happening in Palestine. So you just call me a I don't watch the news. That's not true. Fuck you guys.
00:31:54
Speaker
Yeah. There's a – it's not good. No, I mean I heard that they like – yeah, but Jesus Christ. wo Yeah. I can't wake up every morning and do that, man.
00:32:06
Speaker
I fucking can't wake up in the morning and and worry about that. and Because it's hard. is It's a technological thing because that shit all has always happened.
00:32:17
Speaker
Yes. It's just it wasn't hand-delivered to you i mean a hundred times throughout the day. A group of people will be is being wiped off the map.
00:32:28
Speaker
I don't think that's but always happening to that like that. Funded by the United States. Even thinking about Bosnia and Rwanda, uh...
00:32:41
Speaker
Fuck. I mean, always happened there was probably three or four that happened yeah when we were growing up.
00:32:48
Speaker
It is absolutely not right. Even if you are the most terrible person in the world. um You deserve to exist. No, I don't, yeah, like, let's, I don't want you to fucking die a terrible death.
00:33:01
Speaker
Your fucking children should never die. but there you also They should never be fucking murdered. Unless you're a fucking expert in what's going on, I don't need to hear your fucking opinion or thoughts on it, honestly. Like, I don't.
00:33:15
Speaker
Like, it's out of the control a little bit. It really, it it becomes...
00:33:20
Speaker
The proportion of people, uneducated people, talking about shit they don't know anything about 90% of this thing. Yeah. And they're not giving space to the thing itself. and Yeah. And it really fucking bothers me.
00:33:38
Speaker
And some of the people that we have voted for are participating, and some of the people we don't vote vote for participate. And like this is a thing of of our creation, whether we like it or not.
00:33:51
Speaker
And i I agree with you. I just don't... It doesn't help me out on the day-to-day to... That's hard....broadcast my views to my other friends. yeah Here's my hot take. I think it's helping them.
00:34:06
Speaker
My hot take is there's a bunch of little microwaves to protest now. And people will do hundreds of those before they do an actual fucking protest where they...
00:34:19
Speaker
where they interrupt the schedule of their day to go somewhere else and be a body in a place actually opposing something.
00:34:30
Speaker
yeah Do fucking that instead of tweeting or making an Instagram story because that ain't doing dick. Yeah. but It's actually a hurting the cause.
00:34:41
Speaker
It's hurting the cause. i I feel like it's hurting cause. Yeah, yeah I mean, in some ways it's probably burning people out. That too. Well, what's interesting about that though is like, okay, let's just, well, no. So just hum humor me for a second.
00:34:56
Speaker
Humor me for a second. If I'm just some like real Trumpy right wingy in your face, fucking miracle guy and you can fill in all the other characteristics. Right.
00:35:07
Speaker
yeah And I'm on line. This goes the other way too. But like, I find this guy and I go online all the time and I'm like, you know, let's go Brandon, this thing's, you know, COVID wasn't real. Like you're infringing on my rights. I should be able to walk into a school with guns. Like any of that stuff. Like if you're that person, you're followed, whatever you're following is those people too.
00:35:35
Speaker
Yeah. For the most part. So like you guys are already already, you're, you're already all in on the same thing. Yeah.
00:35:45
Speaker
I don't know. You're just affirming. No, you're right. You're affirming your friends to make your friends all feel good. Well, and they say echo chamber, but it's like it's not. Yeah. Yeah. It is an echo chamber. This actually brings me up to something that's not on my list that we'll talk about real quick.
00:35:59
Speaker
um You shouldn't. I listened to this on NPR. i don't remember some like political pundit came up with this thing. This is before Trump or president was president.
00:36:09
Speaker
It's like you shouldn't like your president. You shouldn't like your politicians. You shouldn't feel yeah an emotional connection. you shouldn't look at them and be like, that's my man. That's my savior.
00:36:24
Speaker
you should have the same feelings towards your president as you do your fucking mailman. They're a public servant. Yes, you are exactly right. I like male person better. But yeah yeah, they're going to make the the set hopefully, hopefully center line compromises that makes nobody happy, but hopefully keeps the country on incrementally better.
00:36:46
Speaker
Totally trajectory that is incrementally better. um And anybody fucking in any sort of.
00:36:56
Speaker
uh, fucking political party that is sensational can go fuck themselves and go fucking fall off a bridge. Um, my next one is, uh, great job. Something political. don't want talk about politics. Uh, argue about politics for 20 minutes.
00:37:12
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. When to cut your losses, man. I feel like this is a... We should have cut our losses into that previous conversation like 10 minutes in. Just walked away. All right, tell me tell me about this one, Tyler, because I didn't... This one was the most vague to me.
00:37:28
Speaker
Well, I feel like when you... are or when When I was younger, I would fucking either run ram something the way to the end to my own destruction... Or defeat.
00:37:39
Speaker
Or I would just immediately be like, fuck this, move on. I feel like finding the time in relationships, money, fucking whatever. The sweet spot to realize that, like, this isn't fucking going anywhere. Yeah. um Is a fucking art.
00:38:00
Speaker
And... I found myself in this position recently. I'm glad you're finally realizing this, man. is never too late to walk away from the the girl and kids. so Like, start a new life. You can still do it, dude.
00:38:16
Speaker
You can do it, dude. I'm just fucking you done. You guys are too expensive. Too much fucking time. You're drain on my economy. And I'm moving on.
00:38:28
Speaker
I'm going back to high school. It was easier then. Wow. um It's a tough one, man. I got book for this, but I can't find it at my bookshelf.
00:38:40
Speaker
I struggle this the most with art. It's like if your art isn't liked by a bunch of people, it's really hard to be like, well, should I just fucking stop this?
00:38:52
Speaker
You know, like yeah I have that question a lot sometimes. No, that's a that's completely relevant. And I agree with you. It's ah you should stop. But.
00:39:03
Speaker
No, no, no. You, fuck you. You have to keep on trucking until yeah yeah you're fucking dead. You gotta go until the wheels fall out. And then fucking 75 years later, some little fucking terrible person is going to pick this up and be like, oh, look at this guy. The little people. Well, that's probably the best question someone could ask themselves about whether or not they should cut their losses. Being like, am I doing this for me?
00:39:28
Speaker
Or am I, why am I doing this? Yeah, yeah, like the relevancy of your own convictions that make you happy and then give you a sense of purpose versus what's like practical and.
00:39:39
Speaker
I heard the young folk called that pivoting. is that, is that the. I mean, it sounds like. Cutting your fucking losses. That sounds like a positive spin on cutting your losses and moving on.
00:39:52
Speaker
Yeah. Pivot. Yeah, it's some founder speak for my company's failing, but I have other people's money. I need to switch it up today. oh interesting.
00:40:03
Speaker
Yeah. Huh. When did you yeah ever cut? like Well, when did you ever cut your losses, Tucker? Did you ever be like? Hmm. That's a really great question. I don't know if I can answer it.
00:40:16
Speaker
where you're just like, I'm done. I remember we cut our losses. We're about 10 minutes away from it right now. No, ah when we had the job at the soccer fields. Oh, god we We realized we were like so fucked. Yeah.
00:40:30
Speaker
And so we just walked off of that. Did we tell that story in one of those seasons? Yeah. That was great. I guess I've walked off tons of jobs, actually, now that think about it. Don't hire this So I from 1995 to 2000, I cut a lot losses.
00:40:44
Speaker
So I was losing.
00:40:48
Speaker
i cut a lot of losses so much i was losing
00:40:54
Speaker
Well, that's the trick, man. That's the thing. It's like when's the right time to fucking bail, when's the right time. yeah and And hopefully, ah maybe maybe something when I was younger is not the, I didn't self-reflect enough to learn something for the next time.
00:41:11
Speaker
Oh. know what mean? Like every time you cut your loss, if you don't learn anything from it, you then let's say you're going to get in the habit of that feeling of being like, I'm fucking done. Fuck you. and then that's great You're never going to get anywhere. That's a great feeling.
00:41:24
Speaker
I could almost do a tangent on don't burn your bridges off of this one, but yeah that's that's for another date. Seriously. Save that for another list. All right, next one.
00:41:35
Speaker
she got us What you got for sale? Oh my God. yeah Yeah, what are you selling? I've got a fucking car for sale. I've got 73 conversations. Those are, I have counted them before this podcast.

00:43:50
Speaker
Dude, and just the ignorance of people buying shit. Yeah. yeah I would describe it as accurately as possible and they would still be like, this isn't correct.
00:44:00
Speaker
And I'd be like, then don't buy shit online. I'm sorry. Weird. yeah I sell a lot of shit because as listeners of season one and two, which will maybe come out after this, know that i like I do a lot of auctions and hawking stuff when I see a good deal. like I'm selling this dude. That's true, yeah.

Like, I don't drink Diet Coke at work or anything, but when I go to a restaurant and I still want to exist for the rest of the day and not fall asleep and take a nap, I'll order a Diet Coke and I'll just be like, bring me two or bring me three.
