00:00:07
Chris
Welcome back to Mythic Giraffe Podcast. I'm Chris.
00:00:11
Creativenamesarehard
And I'm a confused Ron because I heard no music.
00:00:14
Chris
Really?
00:00:15
Creativenamesarehard
Oh boy.
00:00:16
Chris
Well, it was there. Kind of.
00:00:19
Creativenamesarehard
Kinda what?
00:00:21
Chris
I don't know.
00:00:22
Creativenamesarehard
ah
00:00:23
Chris
if the internet is acting up.
00:00:25
Creativenamesarehard
Well, you are, you know, i'm being struck by a hurricane, so.
00:00:31
Chris
Yeah. Uh-oh, I hear the fire sirene going off. There must be an emergency.
00:00:35
Creativenamesarehard
Oh boy.
Emergency Services and Infrastructure
00:00:39
Creativenamesarehard
there They'll probably get out in eight to ten minutes.
00:00:43
Chris
yeah. When seconds count, they're there in minutes.
00:00:48
Chris
Oh, there's a electrical fire at Union Church and Colburn Mill.
00:00:52
Creativenamesarehard
Well, maybe that's a messing with your internet.
00:00:54
Chris
Could be.
00:00:55
Creativenamesarehard
Could be. Could be.
00:01:00
Chris
If everything was just underground or whatever.
00:01:03
Creativenamesarehard
right in The most insane world we live in is like we could easily um i understand that not all power lines can be buried but boy we could start making a real progress on improving our infrastructure.
Evacuation Stories and Compliance
00:01:21
Creativenamesarehard
It's insane. I feel like we have this conversation all the time.
00:01:22
Chris
Yeah. yeah
00:01:26
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. yeah It's just like if therere there were those little micro reactors, so much energy.
00:01:32
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah.
00:01:35
Chris
Yep. Although fun fact, my neighbor's son is trying to invent a way to create energy from air or gas from air.
00:01:49
Chris
yeah Yeah. Like petroleum gas.
00:01:54
Creativenamesarehard
But air isn't made up of petroleum.
00:01:59
Chris
i e I said, good luck, young man.
00:02:04
Creativenamesarehard
I can see. I mean, there's hydrogen.
00:02:08
Chris
Yeah, yeah. yeah But he also said that if to power whatever machine he's going to need, um he does need some plutonium.
00:02:22
Creativenamesarehard
cool.
00:02:23
Chris
I said, make sure that you search for that on your father's laptop from his work because his dad works for Wallops.
00:02:28
Creativenamesarehard
Right. Oh, good, good, good. This kid's definitely going be on a watch list.
00:02:35
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. So. Or who knows? Maybe he could figure something out.
00:02:42
Creativenamesarehard
kit You never know. Don't stifle the kid. He might be our savior.
00:02:46
Chris
Yeah.
00:02:47
Creativenamesarehard
Because good lord.
00:02:48
Chris
Or maybe that's why the power was blinking a minute ago, because he's tapped into the grid.
00:02:53
Creativenamesarehard
That's fair, too.
00:02:56
Creativenamesarehard
That's fair, too.
00:03:02
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah, I heard some people were upset because in an abundance of caution, a lot of beaches on the shore have been closed for the day. And
00:03:13
Chris
So why are they upset?
00:03:15
Creativenamesarehard
well, how? okay We have a right to be on this beach. You can't close this beach.
00:03:22
Chris
What?
00:03:24
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:03:25
Chris
I'm sorry. When there's matters of public safety, yes, they can close it.
00:03:28
Creativenamesarehard
Mm-hmm.
00:03:32
Creativenamesarehard
Well, and one of our members apparently was down in Outer Banks and was told to leave.
00:03:38
Chris
Yes.
00:03:41
Chris
Yeah.
00:03:41
Creativenamesarehard
And they're quite upset. And it's like, we yell at people all the time when they don't listen to emergency services evacuations. And that you're going to be the problem? No.
00:03:52
Creativenamesarehard
If they tell you to get out, you leave. Because, especially down there, they're not coming to get you.
00:03:59
Chris
someone yeah Someone with more knowledge than you is advising you.
00:04:03
Creativenamesarehard
Right. You know, it's always a...
00:04:07
Chris
yeah it's It's a barrier island. Its whole you know point in nature is to lessen the impact on the mainland. That's it.
00:04:17
Creativenamesarehard
Yes. But also, like, they don't make these decisions lightly. Right? It's always a... a fine line between do you evacuate do you not evacuate and if you don't evacuate and people get trapped too and killed then you're the asshole if you do evacuate and it doesn't end up being as bad as it sounded it was going to be then you're the asshole right
00:04:30
Chris
Right, yeah.
00:04:35
Chris
Yeah.
Hurricane Awareness and Impacts
00:04:41
Chris
Yeah, you're the asshole, but it's a little bit more forgivable for rational people.
00:04:44
Creativenamesarehard
but people are safe
00:04:50
Creativenamesarehard
for that's the problem for rational people yeah
00:04:51
Chris
Yeah. I also believe this was the same person... who, when they were questioned, did you get rental insurance? Well, no. Why would I do that? Well, that would have paid you.
00:05:03
Creativenamesarehard
This is why.
00:05:06
Chris
That would have covered your costs, but okay.
00:05:07
Creativenamesarehard
Right.
00:05:10
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah, I mean, it is tough to be on the shore, like basically from Maryland, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina this time of year.
00:05:21
Creativenamesarehard
But you need to be aware that this is hurricane season.
00:05:24
Chris
Right.
00:05:25
Creativenamesarehard
We call it hurricane season for a reason.
00:05:27
Chris
Yeah.
Flooding and Local Attitudes
00:05:28
Creativenamesarehard
you know And that storm could have pulled a Sandy and at the last minute turned right into North Carolina.
00:05:37
Chris
Oh yeah.
00:05:37
Creativenamesarehard
you know
00:05:38
Chris
Yeah.
00:05:39
Creativenamesarehard
And still, even today, they're calling for you guys getting pasted.
00:05:44
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:05:44
Creativenamesarehard
They're calling for major flooding all in the down. It's funny.
00:05:47
Chris
Well, the good thing is we don't worry about flooding because it's never an issue anyway.
00:05:54
Creativenamesarehard
What?
00:05:58
Creativenamesarehard
You guys have flooding so bad that I see people dancing in the streets like it's nothing. And I'm like, somebody said yesterday, we were talking about it. was like, Ocean City floods every time there's any bit of rain.
00:06:10
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah, it's okay because the foundations are strong. What do you think the water's doing to the foundation?
00:06:13
Chris
No, they're not.
00:06:17
Creativenamesarehard
And also, it's built on sand.
00:06:23
Creativenamesarehard
but with There's nothing under, there's not granite underneath there.
00:06:28
Chris
Well, I mean, if you look at our, you know, firehouse, it was built on a loose
00:06:33
Creativenamesarehard
Bog.
00:06:35
Chris
and so foundation. It's doing fine. Oh, wait.
Retirement and Leadership Transition
00:06:39
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah.
00:06:42
Creativenamesarehard
I know that this is not what we want to think about this, but I guarantee you all that flood water that comes up from the the river is just taking all of the soil underneath of the station out with it.
00:06:54
Chris
Oh, I'm sure. Hmm.
00:06:55
Creativenamesarehard
We're going to find a sinkhole. you know, one of you guys are going to go out there and try to like walk your dog or something. and all of a sudden there's a sinkhole.
00:07:03
Chris
Shoo.
00:07:05
Creativenamesarehard
That poor lady in Pennsylvania.
00:07:07
Chris
Oh my gosh, yeah.
00:07:12
Chris
Well, I mean, the Earth is against us right now because we've angered it. Mm-hmm.
00:07:15
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah. for Yeah. Mother Nature always wins. That's the thing. ah
00:07:20
Chris
Yeah.
00:07:22
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah. I saw the people of Crestfield are upset because their flood protection grant was canceled and denied.
00:07:31
Creativenamesarehard
You vote?
00:07:31
Chris
ah You voted for it? Yeah.
00:07:33
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah, you voted for it. You get what you get voted for.
00:07:39
Chris
Yeah, I don't oh know. I mean, I feel bad for them, but yeah I don't know. It's like, you know, the people to get pissed off because they got stung by a hornet's nest, but they kicked the hornet's nest.
00:07:54
Creativenamesarehard
lighter things of old age. it's We're now in late August. We're getting ready for a football season.
00:08:00
Chris
Yeah.
00:08:01
Creativenamesarehard
And we're in... prime baseball season, I guess I would say.
00:08:06
Chris
Sure.
00:08:06
Creativenamesarehard
can tell you, i don't care about either one.
00:08:09
Chris
no. no Yeah.
00:08:10
Creativenamesarehard
At all.
00:08:13
Chris
Yeah, no.
00:08:14
Creativenamesarehard
like
00:08:14
Chris
Which, as I was waiting for to be taken back for my MRI this morning, it was yeah ESPN was on there. And one, the commentator or whatever just sounded like a moron.
00:08:26
Creativenamesarehard
George.
00:08:27
Chris
But yeah, it just, yeah, they're like, oh yeah, so it's 45th home run. I'm like, how are people hitting so many home runs?
00:08:40
Creativenamesarehard
Well, yeah. ah they The game is a... They want home runs because it's more exciting, right? And steroids helps.
00:08:45
Chris
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:08:47
Creativenamesarehard
But I just... Even still, I don't care. like but Like, one of the people I work with is always like, oh, the Phillies doing great this year. I'm like, yeah. I mean, I root for the Phillies because I think...
00:08:59
Creativenamesarehard
I understand that it's important to people, but I just can't bring myself to care.
00:09:02
Chris
Yeah.
00:09:04
Creativenamesarehard
You know?
00:09:06
Chris
Yeah. yeah I just it's one of those. Sure. If like, especially for you, you know, if it's Sunday, you're at work. yeah
00:09:13
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah, I'll watch a little football.
00:09:14
Chris
Watch football. But. yeah
00:09:17
Creativenamesarehard
I won't go my way to do it anymore.
00:09:19
Chris
me Yeah. You need to get into NASCAR. I think that'd be good fit for you.
00:09:25
Creativenamesarehard
That would not. The only sport I've really ever enjoyed my life is hockey, and now I can't even bring myself to watch that.
00:09:28
Chris
come on
00:09:33
Chris
Yeah. There's a lot of icing in that.
00:09:38
Creativenamesarehard
Satin cakes.
00:09:41
Chris
ah Let's see, I watch field hockey.
00:09:43
Creativenamesarehard
Everyone's talking. Well, yeah. It's fair.
00:09:48
Chris
Yeah.
00:09:49
Creativenamesarehard
I think what's ruined baseball for me is all of the people I work with and the base the baseball parent generation.
00:09:57
Chris
Yeah.
00:09:59
Creativenamesarehard
I think that has ruined baseball for me.
00:10:00
Chris
I mean, now, like, the Little League World Series is televised, and yeah, there's, yeah.
00:10:05
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah, that's weird to me. I don't like that.
00:10:09
Chris
And people are like, oh yeah, but take the trip. It's like, is your kid in it? no
00:10:13
Creativenamesarehard
Right.
00:10:14
Chris
that's weird.
00:10:15
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah.
00:10:18
Creativenamesarehard
Well, I just think all these kids that
00:10:19
Chris
But Hey, look, if, if you're out there listening and you like to do that, I mean, good on you, but I don't get it.
00:10:25
Creativenamesarehard
I just think all of these kids going to end up hating baseball because their parents have made them play hundreds of thousands of games at this point. And they're, you know, they're in middle school.
00:10:36
Chris
Yeah.
00:10:37
Creativenamesarehard
It's like, this is crazy. You know,
00:10:39
Chris
but I was forced to play baseball in high school, and that is a part of the reason why i loathe the sport.
00:10:45
Creativenamesarehard
yeah You know, what I guess my parents were much more blasé about it. They're like oh, if you like it, play When you stop liking it, don't do it And it's always been my rule in life. it's like The moment you stop enjoying something, don't do it anymore.
00:10:59
Creativenamesarehard
You know, it's not worth it. and And I think... No.
00:11:03
Chris
No, no, no.
00:11:03
Creativenamesarehard
No. Like,
00:11:04
Chris
You got keep doing it till you push through the misery.
00:11:07
Creativenamesarehard
now you know
00:11:14
Creativenamesarehard
like I feel like that about work. The moment work gets to the point where I am no longer enjoying it in any level, and it's getting close, I'm out.
00:11:22
Chris
Yeah.
00:11:25
Chris
Yeah.
00:11:26
Creativenamesarehard
You know, it's it's it's the whole drop conversation for me. There's no way I would i would do the drop.
00:11:30
Chris
Yeah.
00:11:32
Creativenamesarehard
Because the first day somebody was like, gotta go do this stupid thing. I'd be like, nah, I'm packing up my stuff and leaving.
00:11:37
Chris
I'm out.
00:11:41
Chris
But it's the middle of the shift.
00:11:43
Creativenamesarehard
Don't care. Yeah.
00:11:43
Chris
So?
00:11:44
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah.
Future Inventions and Daily Routine Changes
00:11:45
Creativenamesarehard
yeah
00:11:47
Chris
once i I came to the realization the other day, just, it was, it was a C shift. We were talking with them, you know, and somebody asked about, you know, oh I see, you know, the post about the new ambulances that have been ordered.
00:12:02
Chris
And the fire chief was like, yeah, yeah. We're looking at him, you know, jokingly, but you know, we're looking at him in like three years. He was like, there's a couple people in this room that might be retired before they come in.
00:12:13
Chris
was like, Holy crap. That's me. Yeah.
00:12:17
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah, I mean, the new engine one, by the time it gets to station, i will be gone. You know.
00:12:23
Chris
but You're not going to hang around so you can push it back into the station?
00:12:26
Creativenamesarehard
Nope. Nope. And that was, I mean, that was a real conversation. um Look, I'm not involved in the apparatus communities, but I was like, look, I don't care. Don't ask my opinion on it.
00:12:37
Creativenamesarehard
I'm not going ride the thing.
00:12:38
Chris
Yeah.
00:12:38
Creativenamesarehard
You know, ask the the people who are in the back step, because they'll be around.
00:12:42
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:12:44
Creativenamesarehard
Except Donnie, because he's, you 112. hundred and twelve
00:12:45
Chris
yeah
00:12:52
Chris
yeah
00:12:52
Creativenamesarehard
I just felt like people cannot...
00:12:53
Chris
Give him his Jevity before he gets on the engine.
00:12:56
Creativenamesarehard
People just can't give that up. like They can't get that idea that you're not going to matter the day you're gone.
00:13:00
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:13:04
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:13:05
Creativenamesarehard
you know and that's I guess that's a very harsh way to look at it. But isn't that kind of the way it should be
00:13:12
Chris
Yeah.
00:13:14
Creativenamesarehard
like your Your values should no longer influence... good or bad, the department, once you leave.
00:13:22
Chris
Right. Yeah. Yeah. i mean, it's one thing to leave a legacy, but yeah, it shouldn't be one of those. Oh, so-and-so so left and now no one knows what to do.
00:13:32
Creativenamesarehard
Right.
00:13:33
Chris
It's no, it's yeah. It's like, oh, you know, we don't see Fred at the coffee yeah know maker in the morning, but yeah, the wheels keep turning. The calls keep coming in.
00:13:42
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah, big I mean, yeah, the day you leave, the doors are going up. And i you know I have two new people on my shift, and I i said, look,
00:13:46
Chris
Yeah.
00:13:50
Creativenamesarehard
I'm going be very honest with you people. I have just about three years left and I will spend my three years just preparing you guys as much as I can. But that's, that's it.
00:14:01
Chris
Yeah.
00:14:01
Creativenamesarehard
Right? Like I'm, I'm not going to hang around and be the guy. And like the fire chief and i had that conversation. He's like well, don't you want to stay for the job? Cause it's really good for you. I said, it's really good for me. It's bad for the department.
00:14:14
Creativenamesarehard
You know, you need new blood.
00:14:14
Chris
Yeah.
00:14:16
Creativenamesarehard
You need new people to move on.
00:14:17
Chris
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:14:18
Creativenamesarehard
You know,
00:14:18
Chris
Yeah. That's per part of one of the reasons why I took this promotion was because this reinvigorates EMS a little bit.
00:14:28
Creativenamesarehard
Sure, yeah.
00:14:29
Chris
Yeah. Been in there for seven years.
00:14:32
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah, yeah. It's ah it's a long time. I mean, I'm going to finish my time, I'm assuming, unless something goes wrong, at Station 1, right, on Engine 1. And...
00:14:45
Creativenamesarehard
and
00:14:46
Chris
Yeah, we're transferring you to the truck.
00:14:50
Chris
I mean, we'd have to kick you in the head.
00:14:53
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah. Yeah. I just put a bag over my head until I stopped breathing for a little bit and then sent me out to the truck. ah But like, you know, i just don't once the day after October the 1st, 2028, those doors are going to go up and the calls are go to go without me.
00:15:10
Chris
Yeah.
00:15:10
Creativenamesarehard
And whether I feel ready or not, it's still going to happen. Right.
00:15:16
Chris
Yeah.
00:15:16
Creativenamesarehard
like Either way, whether I stay seven more years, if there's still going to be a day where it
00:15:17
Chris
Yeah.
Parking Etiquette and Staff Management
00:15:22
Creativenamesarehard
goes.
00:15:22
Chris
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:15:24
Creativenamesarehard
you know You just have to be prepared for that, and you really should be embracing that.
00:15:28
Chris
Right. Yeah. Yeah. That's way I look at it. and When it's all said and done, I've given at least a quarter of of a century to the department.
00:15:42
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah.
00:15:42
Chris
Yeah. Now it's my time.
00:15:44
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah. And I just... Our Maniac Captain, who's now said he's not going to retire, supposed to sit down and be like... You're not happy.
00:15:56
Creativenamesarehard
Just go.
00:15:58
Chris
Yeah.
00:15:59
Creativenamesarehard
You know. you know just You have the chance. Take it.
00:16:03
Chris
yep He actually said, Hey to me the other day.
00:16:06
Creativenamesarehard
Wow.
00:16:06
Chris
Yeah.
00:16:08
Creativenamesarehard
That's a big step for him.
00:16:09
Chris
It is. It is.
00:16:11
Creativenamesarehard
But also that same captain. You've got to have the conversation with him. Stop being the one to make decisions.
00:16:19
Creativenamesarehard
It's your time to just. you know I don't want to say coast. But it's your time to not be involved in everything. It's time to let other people shine.
00:16:27
Chris
yeah Yeah, it's... Yeah, that's the thing. But it should be everybody on your shift or work group or whatever, it's your time to bring them up, not one person.
00:16:43
Creativenamesarehard
Yes. Yeah. Absolutely.
00:16:47
Chris
Hmm.
00:16:47
Creativenamesarehard
Except Donnie, because he's old as fuck.
00:16:48
Chris
But...
00:16:50
Creativenamesarehard
me
00:16:52
Chris
Well, I mean, he's a creature of habit now. Can you imagine? Just like if we changed the doors at Station 1? God, he wouldn't know how to get in.
00:17:02
Creativenamesarehard

00:17:54
Chris

Public Transport vs. Personal Vehicles

00:18:06
Chris
What do they mean there's not enough parking spaces?
00:18:16
Chris
What's the thing? some people were upset because we didn't put the parking spots in that open area in front of the
00:18:27
Chris
annex, but...
00:18:30
Creativenamesarehard
Why? why do we why Why do we need them?
00:18:31
Chris
Because they're maniacs, What the hell is this? They're really
00:18:35
Creativenamesarehard
It's like the maniacs who park at station 16 and don't park in the parking spots. There are 38 spots just for career staff. There are five people assigned to station.
00:18:45
Chris
Yeah.
00:18:49
Creativenamesarehard
Insane.
00:18:50
Chris
I'm going to start calling it tow truck.
00:18:52
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah. Yeah. Do it. Do it once.
00:19:00
Chris
Well, we do have an identified parking space in admin now for the employee of the month.
00:19:04
Creativenamesarehard
Oh, that's fun.
00:19:07
Chris
Yeah.
00:19:07
Creativenamesarehard
Who's the employee of the month?
00:19:09

Creativenamesarehard
ah Well, you ready to move on to topic one?
00:19:43
Chris
Sure.
00:19:43
Creativenamesarehard
We've shot the rig walls.
00:19:43
Chris
Topic one.
00:19:45
Creativenamesarehard
Topic one, and I thought about this yesterday, going getting ready for it the morning.
00:19:49
Chris
Yeah.
00:19:50
Creativenamesarehard
You remember the 90s hit classic, Demolition Man?
00:19:53
Chris
Yes.
00:19:54
Creativenamesarehard
Okay. One of the best scenes in Demolition Man is when he goes in the bathroom that has the three seashells, right?
00:20:02
Chris
Yes. Yeah.
00:20:04
Creativenamesarehard
So I was shaving. This is going be a lot of shh words. I need to shh get out of my mouth.
00:20:08
Chris
Okay.
00:20:09
Creativenamesarehard
I was shaving before i work yesterday yesterday, and I'm like, what in 100 years will replace shaving? What will they go?
00:20:16
Chris
oh
00:20:16
Creativenamesarehard
What were those barbarians doing scraping their faces with sharpened metal blades? and And what other things are going to be like that? i mean, if we get these right, we're, you know, we'll be billionaires, but there's got to be things like that, right?
00:20:30
Chris
Yeah. um
00:20:34
Creativenamesarehard
Do you think we'll use...
00:20:34
Chris
Yeah. I mean, with like laser removal.
00:20:37
Creativenamesarehard
Why, do you think we'll use, like, shaving gels that just, like... What is that? Dilpertori or whatever they where just takes the hair off?
00:20:44
Chris
The pillow to the pillow Torrey.
00:20:45
Creativenamesarehard
Dilpertori something?
00:20:48
Chris
No, that's like, I don't know what that means.
00:20:48
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah. Yeah.
00:20:50
Chris
There's Nair, but it says don't use on your face.
00:20:53
Creativenamesarehard
Right, but why aren't we inventing one for your face?
00:20:57
Chris
Um, yeah, I don't know.
00:21:00
Creativenamesarehard
but I'm literally taking a sharpened, you know, and like I shave twice a week, so I'm not like, oh my God, it's the worst thing in the world.
00:21:03
Chris
feet i realized i
00:21:09
Creativenamesarehard
but But there are people who have to shave every day.
00:21:13
Chris
Yeah, I do.
00:21:13
Creativenamesarehard
you ah you You probably should shave three times a day.
00:21:18
Chris
Some days, yes.
00:21:20
Creativenamesarehard
But there's got to be a better way than shaving. And I scrape my face
00:21:27
Creativenamesarehard
o once every three months, I would say. i cut my I cut myself shaving. And then once you cut yourself once, it's going to be like four more times, right?
00:21:36
Chris
Oh, yeah.
00:21:37
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah.
00:21:38
Chris
Yeah.
00:21:40
Creativenamesarehard
And staff connections and other things.
00:21:40
Chris
Um...
00:21:42
Creativenamesarehard
There's got to be a better system.
00:21:42
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um... Waxing.
00:21:48
Creativenamesarehard
Oh.
00:21:50
Chris
Yeah, that sounds very painful.
00:21:51
Creativenamesarehard
Oh, that sounds gross.
00:21:53
Chris
Individual tweezing.
00:21:56
Chris
Can I keep imagine it just laying there and slowly plucking?
00:22:02
Creativenamesarehard
How long it taking care of you for work? ah Eight hours.
00:22:08
Chris
Uh, uh, they're sugaring.
00:22:11
Creativenamesarehard
Sugaring?
00:22:12
Chris
Yeah. Similar to waxing sugaring uses a paste made of sugar, lemon, and water to remove hair. It's considered a gentler method for sensitive skin.
00:22:21
Creativenamesarehard
Oh.
00:22:22
Chris
So do you just soak your, yeah, I don't know.
00:22:23
Creativenamesarehard
You just like taste on your mouth. How do you get to... How does that take your hair off?
00:22:27
Chris
yeah. Uh, there's epilating. Epilators are devices that pull the hair out from the root, similar to waxing and sugaring.
00:22:40
Chris
They can cause some discomfort, especially initially.
00:22:44
Creativenamesarehard
love
00:22:45
Chris
Yeah.
00:22:45
Creativenamesarehard
you see i i don't want to Make it so you can't grow, you know, change your, have a beard. I want it so that you can maintain a collegiate look when you need to maintain collegiate look and then you change it up.
00:22:52
Chris
Yeah.
00:22:58
Chris
Yeah.
00:22:59
Creativenamesarehard
This is what we need scientists working on. Stop working on climate change and, you know, cancer research.
00:23:05
Chris
Right.
00:23:05
Creativenamesarehard
Things that really matter. I don't want to shave anymore.
00:23:08
Chris
yeah Yeah, yeah. ah We've talked about this before. The amount of conserved energy your body would have if it didn't focus on growing hair on your face.
00:23:22
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah, stop growing hairs in places I don't want and grow hairs in places i want it
00:23:25
Chris
Yeah. Yes.
00:23:29
Creativenamesarehard
I personally...
00:23:30
Chris
Yeah, yeah. I could be bald from the eyebrows down.
00:23:34
Creativenamesarehard
Right.
00:23:34
Chris
Just give me hair on my head.
00:23:36
Creativenamesarehard
Oh, sad.
00:23:40
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah. Yeah.
00:23:42
Chris
Yeah, it's somebody the other day, they they found a picture.
00:23:43
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah.
00:23:45
Chris
They found the old dive pictures.
00:23:47
Creativenamesarehard
Uh, sure.
00:23:48
Chris
And they were like, who's this? I'm like, that's me. No, it's not. That guy's got hair. I didn't come out. of Well, I did come out of the womb bald, but I wasn't bald in first grade. God, a bunch of animals.
00:24:00
Creativenamesarehard
I remember when you had hair.
00:24:02
Chris
Yeah.
00:24:05
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah, you just quickly lost it.
00:24:05
Chris
Yeah.
00:24:07
Chris
Yeah.
00:24:09
Creativenamesarehard
You were pretty thinning even then. Sorry.
00:24:11
Chris
Yeah, shut up.
00:24:16
Chris
ah
00:24:17
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah.
00:24:17
Chris
Yeah, laser removal, but that's like semi-permanent.
00:24:21
Creativenamesarehard
Right, yeah. wait um Look, what I'm saying is it's not been invented yet. But in 100 years, someone's going to come up with this crap.
00:24:28
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:24:30
Creativenamesarehard
you know If I'm frozen in time and I to shave, they're to be like, look at that barbarian.
00:24:34
Chris
Yeah.
00:24:34
Creativenamesarehard
you know
00:24:36
Chris
Well, I think you kind of hit on it with like the seashells. How barbaric is it to use toilet paper?
00:24:42
Creativenamesarehard
Sure, and we think that's civilized because people used to use sponges, which is disgusting.
00:24:48
Chris
Oh, God.
00:24:49
Creativenamesarehard
Corn cobs, right?
00:24:51
Chris
What the? Yes. Yeah.
00:24:54
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah, yeah.
00:24:57
Creativenamesarehard
Well, but the answer, I've never, I've not made this leap yet. The answer is bidet, right?
00:25:05
Chris
yes
00:25:06
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah.
00:25:07
Chris
yeah
00:25:07
Creativenamesarehard
thinking about putting up a bidet in my RV after ah maniac that borrowed my RV clogged the toilet with toilet paper.
00:25:15
Chris
Oh my gosh.
00:25:16
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah, and brought it back with shit water in the fucking top bowl.
00:25:20
Chris
Are you serious?
00:25:21
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah.
00:25:23
Chris
What?
00:25:24
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah. She's like, I didn't know what to do.
00:25:24
Chris
to
00:25:25
Creativenamesarehard
I'm like, well, you got to take a little stick and you got to push the little chunk of toilet paper you've stuck in there.
00:25:29
Chris
u Yeah.
00:25:30
Creativenamesarehard
It's not fun. Yeah. Yeah. But I had to do instead. So it's fine.
00:25:35
Chris
who Yeah, nice.
00:25:37
Creativenamesarehard
First one, spar the RV again in the pool. We'll see. But I think the bidet is the answer that question, right? And then you don't have toilet paper.
00:25:44
Chris
Yeah.
00:25:45
Creativenamesarehard
You just bidet up.
00:25:47
Chris
Yeah.
00:25:47
Creativenamesarehard
So we already had that solved. We just haven't made the leap.
00:25:50
Chris
Right. Do you just drip dry after that?
00:25:54
Creativenamesarehard
I think you like some of them blow a hot air for you, right? Like.
00:25:57
Chris
Whew.
00:25:59
Chris
Yeah, I mean, that... Yeah, you'd want some kind of drying measure at the end.
00:26:04
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah.
00:26:05
Chris
Because nobody wants to walk around with a soggy ass.
00:26:05
Creativenamesarehard
I don't know. It's August in Delmarva. I always have a soggy ass.
00:26:10
Chris
Yeah, it's... Well, yes. Yes.
00:26:12
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah. Yeah.
00:26:16
Creativenamesarehard
That's my so side tangent to this. Number one goal in retirement is to not have a sweaty, soggy ass for an entire August.
00:26:25
Chris
Yes.
00:26:27
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah.
00:26:28
Chris
Look, I work in admin and I still get the swampy ass.
00:26:29
Creativenamesarehard
But, uh,
00:26:32
Creativenamesarehard
well, yeah, because you walk outside in Delmarva and you're, you guys want to pass.
00:26:37
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:26:40
Creativenamesarehard
And, I feel like this year has been particularly bad for Swan Pass for me.
00:26:45
Chris
It's been very humid.
00:26:45
Creativenamesarehard
i have sweated through my uniforms three times. And I only have three shirts because I'm only allowed three shirts.
Healthcare System and Funding Issues
00:26:55
Chris
Well, yesterday i was repairing some drywall on the op side and you would have thought that I was doing jumping jacks in an attic. I was dripping with sweat.
00:27:08
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah. Yeah.
00:27:11
Creativenamesarehard
Wait, were you in the Anja Bay?
00:27:11
Chris
I don't know.
00:27:12
Creativenamesarehard
there's no drywall in Anja Bay.
00:27:12
Chris
no um was said the book i I was in the bunk room. It's just where the cubbies have no airflow.
00:27:21
Chris
Because we can't have ceiling fans.
00:27:23
Creativenamesarehard
Why can't we have ceiling fans?
00:27:25
Chris
because of Because of my old shift.
00:27:28
Creativenamesarehard
Oh, that's fair. That's fair. Yep. Yep.
00:27:33
Chris
yeah ah Anytime somebody's like, hey, you know, we should get some ceiling fans. Somebody just says, C-shift. No, we can't.
00:27:41
Creativenamesarehard
I would love some ceiling fans in the Bunker Station 1.
00:27:44
Chris
yeah
00:27:45
Creativenamesarehard
That would be very nice. I love a ceiling fan. My wife hates it.
00:27:48
Chris
Yeah.
00:27:49
Creativenamesarehard
I love it.
00:27:49
Chris
What? Yes.
00:27:52
Creativenamesarehard
Who doesn't want to sit there with a nice cool breeze blowing on them all night?
00:27:56
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. And it's it's almost uniform because it's coming down. It's not like a fan that's like a cone at you.
00:28:02
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah. And it's just, it drapes you in a blanket of comfort.
00:28:07
Chris
Yeah.
00:28:07
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah, not my wife.
00:28:08
Chris
Yeah.
00:28:09
Creativenamesarehard
so i have to sleep with the fan on my side.
00:28:09
Chris
Yeah.
00:28:13
Creativenamesarehard
And she's like, don't want the fan blowing on me. She puts up pillow walls. this is ridiculous.
00:28:21
Chris
ah is is side tangent why don't they have ceiling fans in hotels yeah yeah ah we bring a fan with us yeah or yes we turn on a sound machine or something mm-hmm
00:28:28
Creativenamesarehard
Why don't they? That's a really good question. Because hotel AC units always suck.
00:28:37
Creativenamesarehard
Have you gotten to the point now where you have to sleep with a sound machine in a hotel?
00:28:43
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah. Yeah. That's like... That is like old people first word problems, right? i am ah i'm not comfortable enough in this totally air conditioned room with luxurious sheets.

Creativenamesarehard
I must have my own sound.
00:29:00
Chris
Yeah.
00:29:03
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah.
00:29:04
Chris
And you know, there's probably like some boutique that they're like, you know, for, you know, a low, low price, we will record the ambient noises of your bedroom and generate a soundtrack for you to sleep in when you're out and about.
00:29:18
Creativenamesarehard
That sounds amazing.
00:29:20
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:29:21
Creativenamesarehard
Can we get on that?
00:29:22

Everybody thinks it's, they just think it's Donnie having a dementia fit.
00:31:56
Creativenamesarehard
It's fair.
00:31:57
Chris
Yeah. you have a fall monitor on him?
00:32:01
Creativenamesarehard
No, we put that pad next to his bunk.
00:32:03
Chris
ah Okay.
00:32:04
Creativenamesarehard
yeah
00:32:04
Chris
All right. Okay.
00:32:05
Creativenamesarehard
Next we're going get the little inflatable pillow to keep him in there.
00:32:08
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:09
Creativenamesarehard
in there
00:32:10
Chris
oh When there's a little vests. So when he falls, it inflates like a protection.
00:32:18
Creativenamesarehard
He hasn't been bed into work in a while, so I'm just going to put a fall tag on the bottom of his bunk when he gets back.
00:32:23
Chris
Yes. Yes.
00:32:27
Creativenamesarehard
Hold that, maniac.
00:32:29
Chris
Yeah.
00:32:30
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah, his birthday was the other day, and I wasn't the one who said it, but but I was like, happy birthday, old man.
00:32:30
Chris
Um,
00:32:36
Creativenamesarehard
And then somebody somebody was like, what is it, your sixty second birthday? Stop.
00:32:46
Chris
62nd. He's a hail
00:32:49
Creativenamesarehard
son
00:32:55
Chris
yeah What else?
Urban Infrastructure and Public Involvement
00:32:57
Chris
I think it's kind of idiotic that we still drive our own vehicles.
00:33:04
Creativenamesarehard
Yes
00:33:07
Chris
Or at least don't rely on public transportation more.
00:33:11
Creativenamesarehard
ah
00:33:12
Chris
Yeah.
00:33:14
Creativenamesarehard
Yes, a hundred years from now if civilization survives
00:33:15
Chris
Yeah.
00:33:18
Chris
and
00:33:18
Creativenamesarehard
They're going to look back at us and go, what was with these maniacs and not having mass transit?
00:33:23
Chris
yeah
00:33:24
Creativenamesarehard
Right? Like, they're just to be like, these people are bonkers.
00:33:29
Chris
yeah
00:33:29
Creativenamesarehard
And, yeah. Because once the corporate wars against the corporations really strike in and we have to, you know, rise up against the Ford Motor Company for ruining the world, they're going be like, this is crazy.
00:33:32
Chris
says
00:33:44
Creativenamesarehard
You guys had trains this whole time? It's insane.
00:33:48
Chris
Yeah.
00:33:50
Creativenamesarehard
Delaware is right now because SEPTA is under attack by the crazy Republicans from Western Pellet. oh
00:33:57
Chris
Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.
00:33:58
Creativenamesarehard
Delaware like, ah, fuck it. We'll have our own rail system. So they might actually put a Delaware rail system in.
00:34:02
Chris
Yeah.
00:34:03
Creativenamesarehard
Wouldn't that be shocking to use, um to use the rail lines that the people of Delaware already paid for, but for them, that'd be, that'd be shocking.
00:34:04
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:34:11
Chris
yeah yeah
00:34:15
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah. ah We're having more, it's not tangent about public transit now. We're having conversation yesterday with the maniac who works on C-Shift, who was covering on my shift yesterday.
00:34:20
Chris
Yeah. What?!
00:34:27
Chris
yeah
00:34:27
Creativenamesarehard
And he's like, yeah, I like driving to New York. I'm like, what? So again, I'll drive into the city. I'm like, he's like, you pay like 75 bucks to to park.
00:34:33
Chris
what
00:34:36
Creativenamesarehard
I'm like, okay. And I was like, you know, there's a train. He's like, yeah, I took the train one time. It was terrible. Like there were people in there and it was expensive. I'm like, it's cheaper to take the train.
00:34:49
Chris
yeah
00:34:49
Creativenamesarehard
and easier than it is to drive and park your car in the city. Well, yeah, but I want my car.
00:34:58
Chris
Why?
00:34:58
Creativenamesarehard
For what? There's nowhere in the city you need a car, nor can you take it anywhere.
00:35:04
Chris
Right.
00:35:05
Creativenamesarehard
Just take the train, you maniacs.
00:35:07
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:35:08
Creativenamesarehard
I was like, well, and he was like, he was like it was so very expensive.
00:35:08
Chris
yeah
00:35:10
Creativenamesarehard
I said, where did you pick up the train at? Like Biloxi, Mississippi, or? I picked it up in Delaware. I'm like, It's like 50 bucks, dude. What are you talking about?
00:35:19
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:35:22
Creativenamesarehard
And then he said, but then he was like, oh, well, it was Christmas time.
00:35:22
Chris
that's
00:35:24
Creativenamesarehard
I'm like, well, yeah, I bet it was a little more expensive at Christmas time because, you know, tourists.
00:35:28
Chris
Yeah. And it probably was busier because tourists.
00:35:31
Creativenamesarehard
Tourists. Yeah. Yeah.
00:35:32
Chris
Yeah.
00:35:36
Creativenamesarehard
That's what we're fighting against.
00:35:37
Chris
Yeah. I mean, that's the, but I'm not a huge like city person, but that's, it's so nice when we do go to a larger city because yeah, we don't have to drive everywhere.
00:35:48
Creativenamesarehard
yeah You know, I went to Seattle and didn't get in a car.
00:35:54
Chris
Yeah.
00:35:54
Creativenamesarehard
The entire two, three days i was in Seattle. Never once in a car.
00:35:57
Chris
Yeah. Well, they have, yeah, mooses everywhere you can rent.
00:36:01
Creativenamesarehard
They actually have a very nice light light rail system.
00:36:05
Chris
Yeah.
00:36:05
Creativenamesarehard
It's pretty nice.
00:36:07
Chris
Yeah.
00:36:07
Creativenamesarehard
And you could just walk. have to fight my wife about that all the time. because She's like, where do you go over here? I'm like, it's a half a mile away. Let's just walk. Let's just walk.
00:36:18
Chris
Yeah.
00:36:20
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah. She'll walk 19 miles with me, but she won't walk a half a mile. it's It's a weird...
00:36:26
Chris
Which you get to convince her that it's all it is is urban hiking. Yeah.
00:36:31
Creativenamesarehard
Oh, yeah. There you go. Yeah.
00:36:35
Chris
So come on, let's go for an urban hike. She gets all ready and everything. Just walk down to the farmer's market.
00:36:41
Creativenamesarehard
Well, we haven't taken our bikes. You know, we're bike people now.
00:36:46
Chris
Yeah, we don't really have that option.
00:36:50
Creativenamesarehard
Not yet, but you know you're going to retire and move somewhere better.
00:36:53
Chris
Yeah, hopefully.
00:36:55
Creativenamesarehard
i mean, have you told the kids yet, like, hey, say goodbye to your rooms because they're gone?
00:37:02
Chris
No, I don't want to deal with that.
00:37:03
Creativenamesarehard
No.
00:37:07
Creativenamesarehard
Well, the little one's already packed up her go bag and is ready to, you know.
00:37:09
Chris
Oh, yeah, pretty much. Yeah. But there's one that is very much a creature of habit. Yeah.
00:37:17
Creativenamesarehard
The one who wants to move to Boston?
00:37:19
Chris
Not anymore.
00:37:20
Creativenamesarehard
Oh no?
00:37:22
Chris
Hmm.
00:37:22
Creativenamesarehard
Oh.
00:37:25
Creativenamesarehard
Well, that's fun.
00:37:26
Chris
Yeah. ah No, no, no. Um, Let's see what else. um Paying out the rear end for healthcare.
00:37:40
Chris
think that's something people in the future are going to laugh about.
00:37:44
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah.
00:37:45
Chris
Yeah.
00:37:46
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah, that's a sad one.
00:37:48
Chris
Yeah, it is.
00:37:49
Creativenamesarehard
I think have the rear end for bad health care. Yeah.
00:37:52
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:37:56
Chris
Yeah.
00:37:56
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah.
00:37:56
Chris
ah Especially like, you know, we've talked about this before. It's like you talk to your doctor. It's like, well, Doc, you and I both know that my shoulder is separated. The only way to fix it is a surgery.
00:38:09
Chris
Yeah, but I'm going to make you go to physical therapy for six weeks just in case something gets better.
00:38:19
Creativenamesarehard
Mm hmm. Mm hmm.
00:38:21
Chris
Cool. Okay.
00:38:22
Creativenamesarehard
Well, or like one that's kind of really relevant to me, right? Well, to me personally, but to like the world right now is like, there are all these weight loss drugs coming out. And I'm not saying they have no side effects.
00:38:31
Chris
Yeah.
Classic Sports Movies and Cultural Impact
00:38:34
Creativenamesarehard
But it's so pretty clearly that they have a really profound effect on weight loss.
00:38:38
Chris
Mm hmm.
00:38:39
Creativenamesarehard
And the number one problem for a lot of Americans is probably their weight, myself included.
00:38:45
Chris
Yeah.
00:38:46
Creativenamesarehard
Why the hell is that not covered or cheap or free? You would think, right?
00:38:49
Chris
Yeah.
00:38:51
Creativenamesarehard
Like I'm the hospital. Man, we call these fat asses come to the hospital all the time because I have a chest pains.
00:38:52
Chris
Right.
00:38:57
Creativenamesarehard
Let's pay for weight loss drugs. And then we won't have these problems. It's gotta be cheaper, right?
00:39:02
Chris
Oh, that could be a new initiative for Swift.
00:39:06
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah.
00:39:06
Chris
God. We retrofit the purple car with like a turret gun on the top of it.
00:39:13
Creativenamesarehard
Just shooting Manjaro at people.
00:39:14
Chris
right ah papa pa
00:39:18
Creativenamesarehard
but like Like the helicopter, they they fly over to polar bears and dart them.
00:39:24
Chris
Yes.
00:39:24
Creativenamesarehard
Oh, there's a fatty, get him!
00:39:26
Chris
We use the drone from the fire marshal's office.
00:39:29
Creativenamesarehard
Oh, God.
00:39:30
Chris
Oh my God. This is going to be great.
00:39:33
Creativenamesarehard
I'm not involved. as Folks, this is not the opinions of Whismar Incorporated, this is opinions of...
00:39:34
Chris
Hmm.
00:39:41
Creativenamesarehard
I am not suggesting we dart people against their will with weight loss medication.
00:39:42
Chris
ah
00:39:48
Chris
We got to make sure they're a resident first.
00:39:52
Creativenamesarehard
Do you live with the city or out?
00:39:57
Chris
yeah
00:39:58
Creativenamesarehard
Oh, boy.
00:39:59
Chris
and Just shake their hand. And as you're shaking your hand but ah right in the shoulder.
00:40:05
Chris
ah
00:40:05
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah.
00:40:06
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:40:09
Creativenamesarehard
Well...
00:40:10
Chris
But but it's also, don't know. Just, yeah. The healthcare just boggles me.
00:40:21
Creativenamesarehard
The healthcare is crazy.
00:40:23
Chris
Yeah.
00:40:23
Creativenamesarehard
Well, I saw a Reddit post that really bugged me today. It was like the state of the American healthcare care system. And it showed a picture of an urgent care system center that had a sign that said three hour wait.
00:40:37
Creativenamesarehard
And like he was like, this is ridiculous. I'm like, urgent care does not mean emergency care.
00:40:42
Chris
Yeah, there's a difference.
00:40:44
Creativenamesarehard
Right. it would The only reason we call it urgent care is because you guys don't want us to call them community clinics. or the more insulting dock in a box.
00:40:55
Chris
yeah because clinic has a whole negative stereotype with it.
00:40:58
Creativenamesarehard
Right. they're They're not emergency rooms.
00:41:02
Chris
Yeah.
00:41:02
Creativenamesarehard
And also you're using emergency rooms wrong, people.
00:41:05
Chris
Right.
00:41:06
Creativenamesarehard
you're You're abusing 911, you're abusing the emergency room, you're destroying the system.
00:41:08
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:41:11
Chris
Yeah.
00:41:12
Creativenamesarehard
Which if that's the goal, cool.
00:41:15
Chris
But part of it is because the payers don't want to compensate accordingly. So people do go to the emergency room because urgent care isn't getting um paid the right way. EMS isn't getting paid for taking people to non-emergency rooms. So yeah, it's Yeah.
00:41:36
Creativenamesarehard
Oh, it's a whole...
00:41:38
Chris
Yeah.
00:41:38
Creativenamesarehard
If you guys aren't paying attention in the world right now, look at the number of fire districts or fire protection agencies that are closing right now.
00:41:46
Chris
Yeah.
00:41:48
Creativenamesarehard
It's a lot. You know, a lot of traditionally volunteer fire companies are just closing their doors. It hasn't hit Maryland yet, but boy, it's probably coming.
00:41:58
Chris
Oh, yeah.
00:41:59
Creativenamesarehard
You know, these agencies cannot continue to be funded...
00:41:59
Chris
Yeah.
00:42:05
Chris
No.
00:42:05
Creativenamesarehard
or not funded, I should say, the way they are.
00:42:07
Chris
Right. Yeah. Yeah.
00:42:09
Creativenamesarehard
And that includes bigger departments like Salisbury. Actually, I just read this interesting article about Chicago and the mayor of Chicago was like, you guys do 90% of calls are EMS, but yet 80% of your budget is fire.
00:42:27
Creativenamesarehard
We need to change that around.
00:42:27
Chris
Yep. Yeah.
00:42:30
Creativenamesarehard
And of course, that didn't go very well.
00:42:32
Chris
Oh, no. no No.
00:42:33
Creativenamesarehard
But you know but yeah And it's it's a very complex issue, right?
00:42:40
Chris
It is. It is.
00:42:42
Creativenamesarehard
You can't just say close firehouses because we need more ambulances because you need both.
00:42:46
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:42:48
Creativenamesarehard
But like we've talked, do you need as many as you think?
00:42:52
Chris
Right. Yeah.
00:42:53
Creativenamesarehard
You know, probably not. You know, are just our little microcosm of Wicomico County doesn't need, it probably needs 15 stations.
00:43:08
Creativenamesarehard
or probably really needs like 12 stations staffed better, you know, and placed in better positioning.
00:43:11
Chris
Yeah. Right. Yeah, but does it need 85 engines and 20 lander trucks?
00:43:19
Creativenamesarehard
Right. Well, it's a Salisbury. I mean, we have way more engines than we can use trucks.
00:43:22
Chris
Yeah.
00:43:26
Creativenamesarehard
We don't need boats. We don't need, you know, and I was having a conversation with someone the other day actually yesterday. And they're like, we should get a Swift water team.
00:43:36
Creativenamesarehard
I'm like,
00:43:37
Chris
What?
00:43:37
Creativenamesarehard
What are you talking about? The people...
00:43:43
Creativenamesarehard
i say this as a person who's been on the Spec Ops team in Salisbury for a long time.
00:43:47
Chris
Yeah.
00:43:48
Creativenamesarehard
We barely need the Spec Ops team as it is.
00:43:50
Chris
Right.
00:43:51
Creativenamesarehard
right like It's pretty hard to justify the money we're spending at all.
00:43:53
Chris
Yeah. Yeah, i mean, it's it's a of the gamut of low frequency high risk, it is all the way over.
00:44:04
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah. It's as low as it could be.
00:44:07
Chris
Yeah.
00:44:08
Creativenamesarehard
you know To the point where I think it's ah some of them, I'm not a fire chief, but I think some fire chief needs to go, do we really need these teams and really should we invest in this money?
00:44:18
Chris
Right. Well, mean, look at what, Delaware's done every, all those are managed at either the county or state level.
00:44:26
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah. Yeah.
00:44:30
Creativenamesarehard
Delaware's hazmat response is probably the right system. And I say that as a man who
00:44:34
Chris
Yeah.
00:44:36
Creativenamesarehard
was in charge of a hazmat team for a long time.
00:44:39
Chris
Yeah.
00:44:39
Creativenamesarehard
But we in the city of Salisbury surely cannot justify ah hazmat team in the city.
00:44:47
Chris
Yeah.
00:44:47
Creativenamesarehard
but If you went to the mayor and said, Mr. Mayor, we need to increase the budget for the hazmat team $100,000, it'd be real tough.
00:44:54
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Show me the why. Yeah.
00:44:56
Creativenamesarehard
Right. Well, we've had one call in the city in the last three years, you know,
00:45:05
Chris
yeah
00:45:05
Creativenamesarehard
besides like petroleum spills, which really could be handled with an engine, you know, or a tow truck.
00:45:07
Chris
Right.
00:45:10
Chris
Yeah. Or a toe dropper.
00:45:13
Creativenamesarehard
Right. But it's just, it, it boggles my mind that we're, we're, the fire service is so resistant to that change.
00:45:24
Creativenamesarehard
Like you have to, we're going to have to do something because boy, we're in trouble.
00:45:28
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:45:30
Creativenamesarehard
You know, I'm not, I'll be gone by then.
00:45:33
Chris
Yeah, that's the thing. Yeah. Yeah. Then we get the fuss where our tax dollars are going.
00:45:34
Creativenamesarehard
You know,
00:45:38
Creativenamesarehard
Sure, I saw the attacks where I was going now.
00:45:40
Chris
Yeah, we, uh, side tangent to that.
00:45:42
Creativenamesarehard
You know, Oh, boy.
00:45:44
Chris
you You will appreciate this. So they are rebuilding or building a new primary school here in Fruitland, right behind the current primary school.
00:45:57
Creativenamesarehard
Sure.
00:45:57
Chris
So that abuts to the development I live in.
00:46:01
Creativenamesarehard
ah
00:46:02
Chris
Someone in our HOA community put on social media, did anyone else get, ah did the builder come to anybody else's house and explain to them what was going on here? Because I haven't heard anything.
00:46:19
Creativenamesarehard
Why would the builder have to talk to you at
00:46:21
Chris
so So somebody put, well, this was talked at two you know, city, town, whatever you want call it, council meetings, it's been known about. Well, how was I supposed to know that?
00:46:32
Chris
If you're not going to be engaged, you're an idiot.
00:46:35
Creativenamesarehard
all? But also, why would the builder owe you a personal visit?
00:46:39
Chris
Right? Yeah. Yeah.
00:46:41
Creativenamesarehard
ah Right, yeah.
00:46:41
Chris
Unless they were saying, hi, we're demoing your house.
00:46:45
Creativenamesarehard
Hey, Dominate Domain, we're taking your house.
00:46:46
Chris
Yeah.
00:46:47
Creativenamesarehard
but
00:46:48
Chris
Yeah.
00:46:48
Creativenamesarehard
Other than that, why...
00:46:49
Chris
Yeah.
00:46:49
Creativenamesarehard
I mean, I would assume, I'm not, but everywhere in Newcastle County that they do development, they put a little sign up saying notice of hearing, you know, this day.
00:46:57
Chris
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was posted.
00:47:01
Creativenamesarehard
Right.
00:47:02
Chris
Yep. Yep. So I just I I was stunned. So people are done.
00:47:08
Creativenamesarehard
Yeah. Yeah. People are dumb.
00:47:14
Creativenamesarehard
Well, on that good note, topic two.
00:47:17
Chris
Yeah. Topic two. um So this topic is kind of courtesy of my wife.
00:47:22
Creativenamesarehard
oh Uh-oh.
00:47:22
Chris
ah So.
00:47:24
Creativenamesarehard
I now have her contact information again.
00:47:26
Chris
Yeah.
00:47:28
Chris
So ah couple weekends ago, we were sitting around and like, so, you know, the Happy Gilmore 2 was out. You know, she was like, oh, you know, do you want to watch it? And I went first came out. I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:47:41
Chris
So we finally got around to watching it. I mean, it was it was fine. It wasn't a bad movie. It wasn't, you know, like top 10. But then the following weekend on Friday night, we watched Friday Night Lights.
00:47:54

And then on Saturday we watched varsity blues. So we're in this sports movie kick and it's just got me thinking about what are the good sports movies, you know of the times.
00:48:05
Creativenamesarehard
Oh, ah.
00:48:07
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:48:09
Creativenamesarehard
What is the...
00:48:12
Creativenamesarehard
My brain...
00:48:12
Chris
Cause mean, major, major league is probably one of the best.
00:48:15
Creativenamesarehard
Major League has got to be on the best baseball movie, right?
00:48:19
Chris
Yeah.
00:48:19
Creativenamesarehard
But see, was going to go to like... My brain started immediately. It was like sappy ones like Rudy or Kevin Costner, Field of Dreams.
00:48:26
Chris
Rarity.
00:48:29
Chris
Field of Dreams. Yeah.
00:48:31
Creativenamesarehard
But you know what's one I really love and I've always loved since it came out? I love League of Their Own.
00:48:38
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:48:39
Creativenamesarehard
And it's a great baseball movie.
00:48:39

00:48:41
Creativenamesarehard
It's a great movie.
00:48:41

Creativenamesarehard
There's no crying in baseball.

00:48:45
Creativenamesarehard
It's one of Tom Hanks' best roles. It's a great movie.
00:48:47
Chris
Yep.
00:48:49
Creativenamesarehard
Madonna's in it for some reason.
00:48:49

00:48:53
Creativenamesarehard
Rosie O'Donnell's in it. Gina Davis.

00:49:21
Chris
The replacements.
00:49:24

Creativenamesarehard
They don't make funny... I guess they made Happy Gilmore 2, but...
