Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hello, Hello, Hi, now I hear you. Yay, Welcome to
boll Chat. Who It's Wednesday, August third, Yes, please hell.
We first off, sincerely apologize for not having a boll
chat last Wednesday. It's fine, you guys are we appreciate you.
Don't say it's fine, just say we're really sorry that

(00:22):
we missed it. It's not fun.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Sometimes life gets in the way, as you guys might
know it does. Sometimes your days get a little busy,
and sometimes things just don't work out. So we apologize
there was no bull chat, but I'm not going to
crucify myself for not delivering an episode, unlike how this
one wants me to treat it where.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
I'm eternally sorry. How could we have treated you this way?

Speaker 2 (00:44):
I know you guys will always come back, and we
appreciate you guys for always coming back, and thank you.
You might have dropped off, Oh really from one boll
chat missing I don't know.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
I'm not in the mood for you. Matt texting me
right away it's seven thirty. No, I'm sure Matt that,
I am sure Matt did. Matt's one of our number
one listeners. So, speaking of Matt, we didn't get to
talk about it. Okay, I need to talk about the
bike ride that I did. Oh my gosh, that we
did a week and a half, two weeks ago whatever
it was at this point. So it was spectacular. It

(01:14):
was hot as balls, like your balls are what like
ninety eight point six. No, they're a little bit cooler.
That's why they're outside the body. Did you know that
they're not the same temperature as the rest of your
body That they're outside because they need to stay cooler.
That's why they're external. Oh, the more you know, Andrew,
the more I know. So it was hotter than balls
because it was probably close to one hundred degrees on

(01:37):
that fine Saturday morning, jeez. And so there were about
two hundred and fifty or so bicyclists and there were
three different trips. One was a ten mile, one was
a twenty five mile, one was sixty two miles, which
was out of control nikes. So we all lined up,
we went, we did our thing, and it was through
the scenic, picturesque streets of the north shore of Long Island.

(01:57):
That sounds wonderful. It was. It was really nice. But
the thing is, though, you know, we would ride uphill
and then make a left turn and then go uphill
some more, and then go uphill more. Like it was
like this entire thing was freaking uphill.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
I don't like bike riding for that reason. I am
proud of myself though. I did not get off my
bike and walk once, not once, and I was a
good guy. Look, I have to keep going, you know,
I can't. It's the thing I can't. I can't ride slow,
so I have to go. I'll stop, but I can't
ride slow, so I had to like go up a
little bit and I would stop at a little area and

(02:30):
wait for Matt to come and he'd be dripping sweat,
give me the finger, and then we would continue on
every once in a while. To be honest, that would
be me because I hate bike riding that much. You
were gonna do it though.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
I could have done it, for sure. It wouldn't have
been great and I probably would have swept my ass off,
but I would done it.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
I would like to try it with you one time,
which you book it. Say lets yeah. That's the same
as say no more. Yeah. Wow, that's a quicker way
to say that. Huh. I never heard that before anyway.
So the total bike ride for the day raised over
a hundred thousand dollars for cancer research and Team Cerealousle Nuts,
which was Matt and myself. We raised just about five

(03:09):
thousand dollars. That's great. So that was spectacular and I
have to thank our incredible listeners go for it that
donated some money. And if I'm missing you, I apologize,
But this is just the ones that I saw in
like the little scrolly thing on the page. Stephanie, Pam, Amy, Angie, Jody, Melissa, Elena, Henry, Vanessa, Carrol, Dina, Jennifer, Robin, Brandy,
and whoever else might have that I didn't see. I'm sorry,

(03:31):
but it was. It was a great day. Yeah, good fun,
that's great. And I was riding my priority bike, the
one that I remember, the bike that I won from
the iHeart Life thing that they have downstairs, like a
couple of summers ago spectacular bike. It is belt driven.
Did you know that I have no idea what that means.
You know how a bicycle has a chain, Yeah, you know,
and sometimes the chain will fall off and you're like,

(03:52):
damn it, you get grease all over your fingers. This
bike it's a belt like it's a look at treadmill
almost like that belt of like in a car, the
serpentine belt, you know, the belt that runs the engine
and it'll swap them. It's a belt. It's so cool.
So there's no dirt or grease and the chain won't
break because it's a belt. It's crazy. I've never seen
a boat me neither are So many people stop me,

(04:13):
they're like, what is that? So that was fun? I
love that anyway. How was your beach house? We didn't
talk about it so much. Fun. Yeah, I had a
great time. Remember the time when you had to come
up here for like ten minutes and then drive all
the way back. It was a great time. Loved that
for me. What a journey it was. But yeah, it was,
it was. It was fun. We did a boat on

(04:34):
that Saturday at this place called f Cove. Is it
like a place where people have sex.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
No.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
So it's like a little inlet near brick, New Jersey,
and everyone drives their boats there. The water, when I
tell you, was like that color green see on that board?

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Is that good or bad? It's bad? It should be
that color blue. Well it wasn't, I'll tell you that much. Huh.
And everyone was just partying and it was it was
a fun time. Is that because lots of people piss
and vomit in that water? I'm sure they do. That
water was the nastiest. I just I could not wait
to shower swimming in it, Yeah, because otherwise you just
stood on a boat. And how do you do on boats?

(05:13):
Are you're like, you're fine on boats? Knock on wood?
Do you drink alcohol on boats? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Okay, I mean that's what it was. It was a
party boat. We had it for three hours. We left,
went to this cove, stayed in the cove for about
an hour or two, and then took the boat back.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
See we went on our friend Patty's fishing boat a
couple of years ago, and the kids got sick on it.
Oh really, like there was and there was a garbage can,
and some other kid was just like projectile in the garage.
No no, no, no, no, no, no, I know, because
it sets you off. Yeah, but the whole boat smelled
like fish guts, and it was like it's like one
of those I can kind of tolerate it, but it was.

(05:52):
It was a little rocky and fishy.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, this was like an oversized pontoon boat. So you
pretty much had room to like hang out and part already,
and you know, sit on a couch if you wanted to.
But it was all outdoors, and I think that helps.
When you're outside you get the breeze. Oh, I think
that helps if you're like below deck and you're like
in a room and you're like, all, I.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Don't know if I could do that on a small boat.
That's that's like trying to sleep on a boat. Sleeping
on boats is great if you're passed out, yes, or
on a yacht or on a yacht, but I don't
think I could do it on a fishing boat. Let
me tell you a Life of Pie. I'm dead, What's
Life of Pie? That's the movie where he has like
the tiger on the boat with him. So you're saying
this as if I should have seen a movie you're

(06:34):
talking about. Well, it was a very famous movie. I
never even heard a book Life of Pie. Life of Pie,
like three point one four Pie Pi? Yeah, Like you
have an investigator, No, No, Like basically, there's a ship,
the ship has a.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Thing, the guy is stuck on the boat, and then
I think he sees a tiger, the tigers with him
on this like fishing boat and they become friends or
something like that.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
I didn't read the book or watch the movie, but
I just know basic premise. Okay, but I couldn't survive
on a boat by myself. No, absolutely not. Why would
that ever occur?

Speaker 1 (07:09):
You never know what happens if like, you're on a
ship and some pirate comes on and kills everyone else
and then jumps overboard and you're the only one that's left.
Yeah R what R? That's your pirate. I can't do
it right, but that your pirate almost sounds like I
don't know what your pirate sounds like. Ah? Is it
like a porn star pirate? It's a pinky up pirate.
Are you know they have that that talk like a

(07:31):
pirate day? I think that's so dumb. Everyone's like, do
you keep track with like the national Days? I don't
even know that. I don't, but when that one comes up,
everyone tries to be hilarious and I don't like it.
You wench are whereas you would go are? Yes, exactly,
you're refined pirate. Oh who's that? That's Billy Porter. Oh

(07:53):
that's right. I don't get that hair trend. That's his
real hair. It's not. And then you just have a
loop connecting the other ponytail. Okay, it's like macroma in
your hair. We used to make that stuff in Sleepway Camp.
We'd make the flower pot holders with macroma. Fine, it
was fun. It was fun. You know what I've been
doing also lately. That's fun. What painting? I don't mean
like artist painting. Like I painted Ashley's room. It took

(08:17):
me like two weeks.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
I despise painting with every fiber of my being. Well,
I hate it. I don't find it fun. I find
it stressful. I hate getting into all the little nooks
and crannies. I hate how you have to keep like
a whole thing on the ground so this way no
paint drips. I hate that you have to worry about
paint drips. It's just not fun.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
I did have a little bit of drippage. Also, some
paint spilled. Did there Do they have carpet?

Speaker 3 (08:44):
No?

Speaker 1 (08:44):
No, no, I had it covered. I was trying to
be funny. But so she had a whole wall that
was I had done this probably like six years ago,
and so I painted her room gray back then, and
it was a wall of like turquoise stencils. So there
was like these little stencils all over the wall, and
so I had to first sand them down because they
were like paint on top of paint, so you can't

(09:04):
paint right on top of it. And then because it
was turquoise and the paint she wanted was like gray,
I'd do like three coats and then I'd do the
ceiling and it was just such a nightmare. Yes, and
now you're finding that fun. No, but Cooper wants me
to do her room, and I promised that I would.
What color? She just wants gray on gray. She has
a two tone room because she is like molding the
girls across the middle, so she wants she wants darker

(09:25):
gray on the bottom and a lighter gray up top
because she's gonna go get a bunch of new room
decre She's very excited to order room decre and hang
up all this crap on her walls. So that that
should be fun. But yeah, I don't know. Painting is
just I thought it would be therapeutic, but it's just not.
It's a lot of work. It's stressful. You sweat, yes,
because you can't like keep a window open. No, I

(09:47):
mean you could cooler. I could have, but it was
so hot out. And then and then I was up
on the ceiling with a hair dryer because there was splotches. No, no, no, no, no.
It was just it was a lot. And I couldn't
tell you how many times I was at the hardware store.
I mean I went back and forth seven times a day.
I needed this type of brush that I needed an
extra roller because it was a different color. And then
I forgot that I needed paint tape. And it was

(10:08):
just you're a really good dad. It was a whole
that I appreciate it, but it was just a lot
of work and I'm not looking forward to doing it again.
But I'm going to good. I'm going to or you
can hire someone and they could do it for you.
That's like ten times the price. That's true. All I
gotta buy is like three cans of paint, and I
can get it done because I have all the stuff. Now. Yeah, anyway,
what you got anything? Would you like a snack because

(10:31):
somebody sent us snacks? Sure? Or are you getting your
egg bacon, egg and cheese wrap? I already did you
ate it already? Okay? I needed breakfast. I didn't have
any breakfast today. First of all, can we think Brianna

Yeah, but on like a Serial Killers episode, Oh little,
I get it, okay, the one where we actually review cereal.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
I got it, okay, So I saw Nope and I
have to say I was extremely disappointed. Why because the
ending was just so bad and I don't understand why
it was so bad.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
What's this?

Speaker 3 (12:54):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (12:54):
I got we got this the other day. Yeah, this
is more granola. People love sending us stuff. Well wait
on this, Okay, they have like a cool box. Yeah,
go ahead with your Nope, sorry, nope, nope, nope. It
just wasn't good. What was it? I don't don't. I mean,
I've heard it's a UFO aliens. You don't like alien movies,
not really all that sci fi stuff. I just not

(13:16):
into it, not into it. No scary movies, alien movies. No,
I'm sorry. This thing is squeaking. Did you see the
Minions movie? I did? Wow, Cooper and I went. We
saw it in three D. Grew they still make movies
in three D.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yes, we got the glasses and I didn't. That makes
me sick. So, if I'm being real, that makes me sick.
I do not like watching an entire movie in three D.
I get like queasy.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yeah. I wasn't sure if Cooper was gonna be able
to take it, but she was fine with it. And
they're not the old school red and blue three D
glasses anymore, the cool ones, and I took them. You're
supposed to recycle them at the end, but I took them.
And I walked into Cooper's room last night and she
was watching something with them. I'm like, what are you doing.
I guess there was some Netflix cartoon or something that
was in three D, but it wasn't this. You probably
needed the red and blue glasses. These didn't work so well.

(14:00):
But well, three dtvs were really big too. I remember
my family we got a three D TV. That was
the thing. For a second. I went and got the glasses.
I had to tell you.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
The Hubble Telescope documentary in three D amazing to this day,
one of my favorite documentaries ever, The Hubble Telescope. If
you find it anywhere. It's an IMAX movie. You can
watch it on anything that you have. It is so good.
It's all about space and it's fascinating, but.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
It's probably better in three D. I don't know if
the three D really add anything, because the three DTV
is the concept in like, sounded good, right, but then
when you would watch it, you're like sitting in your
home and being like, oh my eyes are getting a
little queasy. That was a gimmick. I mean was it.
Did you have to wear glasses or was it like
a thing on the screen.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
No, you had to wear glasses and you would turn
the glasses on and you could actually see the three
D like sometimes it was good.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
But could you watch TV regular on it too? So
it had to be a special three D program? Right?
It wouldn't just make any program. Oh I understand. So
there it was a regular TV, but something were in
three D.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yes, when you had to get a special Blu ray
player that also would play it was like the biggest scam.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
Let's be real. Well, now you can just watch a
three D movie on whatever you're watching on as long
as you have the proper glasses, right, Like, welly was
Cooper watching something at three D on Netflix.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Because they make three D programming. But like, if you
don't have the glasses, then it doesn't do anything for.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
You, right, So why did you need a special three
D TV? Because you needed the three D TV to
play it? But so, but she was watching something in
three D on her regular dumb TV, well on Netflix
with glasses I have. I don't think that's gonna work
for her? Then I think it kind Then why would
they Why would they offer it? Do they still make
three D TVs? Yeah? Oh they do, think I think

(15:39):
I haven't. I was it was it was a fad,
yeah it was. And curve TVs were the other fad
or right that was like my dad had one for
like a second. Really he might still have it. I
never got the premise of that. Why am I watching
a curve TV?

Speaker 2 (15:53):
Like when am I ever sitting someplace and I'm like,
I want to feel like I'm in the picture.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Well, isn't that how movie screens are? So I think
maybe they were trying to I'm a movie screen.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
At the end of the day, I'm buying a sixty
five inch television. I'm not in a movie theater. I'm
in my home.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
I got you, well see that. That's another thing I
did while I was doing actually the room and I'm like,
oh god, damn it. We had a TV in the
den above the fireplace. It was a sixty five inch
and the top right corner was like getting wonky. It'd
be bright and then knot and then bright and the
knot just in one spot. So when we redid the downstairs,
we took that TV off the wall. We put a

(16:26):
new one up and I took that TV and I
just put it in my closet. Huh, maybe we can
give it to somebody. And this is like two years ago,
and so while I was doing Ashley's room, She's like,
can you put that TV in my room? I don't
care if there's a little splotch. And I was like,
no problem, that's fine. So I put the mount on
the back and everything and screw you mounted it yourself,
not on the wall. I got a mount, you know,

(16:46):
just to sit on the table, a universal mount. And
of course they give you every size screw except the
one that I needed. So here I am like going
back to the hardware straight. Yeah, back to the hardware
store to buy three four screws. Came home, did it?
Put it up? Why would I have tested the TV
before I did all this? So I lugged it up
on top of the dresser and I was like, ah,
I've turned it on and it's all black right down

(17:08):
the middle, and I'm like, what happened. It's been sitting
in my closet where my clothes and sneakers are for
two years already, and every time like I need sneakers,
I'll pull it back and like grab my sneakers. So
it probably was like pushed around too much. But then
I was like, I don't know, and I left it
on for a little while and I changed programming or whatever,
and then it came back like all of a sudden,

(17:29):
mister Bean came on. It was called Bean and Bee
or something like that. I don't know, some weird Netflix series.
And then it was fine. But then I turned it
off again and put Stranger Things on and there was
a huge black line right down there, like the whole
middle of it. So I don't know if it's going
to come back or not. I feel bad, Like it's
very impressive. It's a giant TV in this kid's room. Yeah,
you know, so it looks cool and I'm like, ash,

(17:50):
I don't I'm not sure it's going to be hit
or missed this thing. She's like, just leave it, you know,
maybe it'll work. But I don't know what to do.
I don't want to put her little jankety dusty TV
that was in there. I feel bad putting it, but
I might have to.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Maybe you should get her a tube TV. Yeah, the box.
Do you remember those?

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yes? I do.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Oh my goodness, If anybody does I do, Andrew, It's crazy.
We used to have one downstairs in our basement. It
was like and it had the box and it was
on wheels. I remember when I moved to Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
My aunt Bee had just died.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
She was like ninety eight years old, and they were
cleaning her house out and you want her TV? And
I said, okay. It was this giant box swivel thing.
So you got to try to imagine it was heavy
as all hell. You needed four like burly weightlifter dudes
to carry this thing up two flights of stairs, and
you know, it had a swivel thing on the bottom,

(18:39):
so it would always hit into the wall and bash
the wall and whatnot. We finally got it up there,
but it was heavy. And then when I was leaving,
I didn't have anybody to help me take it out.
I just left it there. So but but those were
those were, you know, and the weight of TVs even
within the last ten years, like the flat screen has
gone down significant, right, Like so Ashley's old TV was
a fifty inch and it was from two thousand and

(19:02):
I don't know, fourteen or something like that. Lifting that
thing up even though it was a flat screen was
so heavy, But then the sixty five inch I put
up there weighed nothing. Yeah, my TV.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
I bought it and took it home myself and carried
it up three flights of steps. And then when I
got it, I opened it up in my kitchen and
the TV just opened like this, right onto the.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Floor and it shatter, no shock, and it worked. Yes, Wow,
you're lucky. I'm so lucky, very sense I know. And
by the way, can we now stop saying flat screen TV?
Can we just say TV? At this point, I guess
like they don't still sell giant box TVs anymore. They're
all flat screen.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
No, I would love a box TV again. Those things
were so fun, okay, and you could, I don't know,
click click change the channel ours was just gigantic and
you could touch the screen and the screen was kind
of like staticky.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah, weird. Oh memories, Andrew ed we'll be back right
after this quick break, and we're back. You know. Sometimes
two or three of the same commercials will play. Yeah,
why is that? I don't know, you haven't noticed, Yes,
I have on our podcast. You listen. Yes, wow, what

(20:21):
did I say in last episode? In two minutes in
you wouldn't know. You don't like us. Do you want
to see us fail? No? I don't think you do, Andrew.
I just don't think that you're as into this podcast
as maybe some of the other podcasts that you handle well,
because they got deadlines on those. Well, we have deadlines too.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Wednesday, Yeah, Wednesdays. We missed last deadline because we both
were very busy. And I just say one thing, and
this is not a knock. I'm just saying this. I
said last Wednesday, Hey, why don't we do This is
not a knock, but then it is a knock. Be
up front and open.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Okay, I'm knocking you. Okay. Last Wednesday, I said, at
ten o'clock, let's just record it and we'll put it
right up. Man, it's too late. Nobody cares it is late. Well,
if it gets posted at eleven thirty twelve o'clock, who cares.
It's still there. People can listen on their way home.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
It's easy for you to say that because you just
get to go no la la, I'm gonna go home.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Now.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
I have to sit here and export it and sit
and just wait, and then I have to title it,
and then it gets published, and then.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
It's just, Oh, that sounds seriously dramatic. That sounds so dramatic.
I don't know how to do it, but it's dramatic.
That's you. I don't understand something. But because I don't,
I'm just gonna say it's easy and I could do it.
I could. Why don't you teach me one day? It's
very simple. But just said it's very simple. It's simple
to do, but it takes time. Yeah, well time is uh.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
Just how used to edit all these podcasts and then
that went out the window. Now you just write a description.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Well, I just think it should be all natural.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Now, okay, cool, cool, Yeah that changed the minute I
took that off your plate.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
Now you just write the descriptions. No, I curate the
episodes too. There's no plate. There's no way I would
be able to edit from this thing. It's not in
my thing over there. How many times have I told
you the MP three is in there and you can
edit it. I don't have Yeah, there we go. When's
the last time you took something out of the library.
I'm not doing that. What I'm not eating old cereal today?

(22:12):
What the hell are you talking about? Are what library
you're talking about? The cerial library. This is not a
serial podcast. So what are you talking about? A library?

Speaker 3 (22:21):
Live?

Speaker 1 (22:21):
You know what a library is? Do you do what
a library is? Live, scot Do you know what a
library is?

Speaker 3 (22:29):
All?

Speaker 1 (22:29):
I take that millennial? When is the last time you
took something out of a library? If ever, I belong
to a library, I belong to the Jersey City Library.
I do. I do also not Jersey City, but I
have a Jersey City it's dirty car. Actually it's the
most expensive place for rent in. I saw that country
right now. Let me tell you something. I'm pissed off

(22:50):
about that. My rent went up significantly. Well that's because
the library tax went up.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
No, it's because everyone moved because of the pandemic. And
then afterwards they were like, wait, why am I living
here in the suburbs. I made a giant mistake. I
need to move back.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yeah, I wait till congestion pricing kicks in. Everyone New
Jersey's going to be so pissed because you get double taxed.
What you have to pay a toll and then you
have to pay congestion pricing when you get here. Have fun?
Hold up? Yeah what yeah, it's kind of congestion pricing.
Are you not aware of this?

Speaker 2 (23:22):
I know that they were saying, like above Midtown you'd
have to pay like a certain depending on the time.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Okay, So people that are not from or know New
York apparently they just don't want as many cars driving around,
which they shouldn't. So they've been talking about congestion pricing
for quite some time now, which means you would pay
a toll of sorts to drive anywhere in Midtown and
south in New York City. And what do these dopes
think that they're putting the tolls? They're just going to

(23:49):
be those things that go above so once you enter
the city, it's just kill over the Holland Tunnel. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's cashless tolling. This is stupid. I'm mad, I'm really mad.
And do you know that it is their say that
it could be up to thirty dollars per day on
top of the toll that you pay to get here.
Isn't that insane?

Speaker 2 (24:07):
If you're going to do that, then you better make
the subway the most pristine, easy to ride thing in
the entire world.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Well that's where all this money apparently is going, is
to the MTA of New York what dude, Probably to
pay all the pensions and crap for the traditions are
falling apart, Yes they are. There is no way that
this money can fix anything. They need to revamp the
whole thing. They say it's going to raise a billion
dollars a year for the MTA, but I don't know. See.
But the thing is, though not all of us can
take mass transit, I cannot. I can't. There's no train

(24:39):
for me at four o'clock in the morning that will
get me where I need to be exactly at five
o'clock on time. It's not a possibility for everybody. So
what they're saying is people that enter the city below
sixtieth Street will have to pay whatever this toll is.
And of course the fifty ninth Street Bridge is a
block below sixtieth, so you'd have to pay to use that.
So all these free bridges that you st river bridges

(25:00):
that are down here will not be free anymore because
you'll be paying congestion pricing to come. We came up
with this plan rich people. I'd like to write them
a letter. Seriously, they're like rich, like people that are
on this board that are all this is so dumb
plotting this.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
I don't understand, but I will say there is a there.
There's only one positive that's come out of this. It's
not going to change how many people are gonna be
driving arc tunnel that is now gonna connect New Jersey
more New York agreed to pay half.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
What are you talking are what are you talking about?
So the trains then? Have you ever like done New
Jersey Transit? I have. It's miserable. I know the worst experience.
It's not it's not good. It's slow, it doesn't go
anywhere good. You don't want to use it ever. You
can go to secaucas You.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Go to secaucas You can go to a random town
that's like a somewhat beachy town, but you're not anywhere
close to the beach, right, It's just random stops.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
It's dumb.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
Whoever created infrastructure in the United States jail, immediate jail,
it's stupid.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
It makes no sense. Every other country, they drop you
off in a perfect place. They beautiful, the train stations
are beautiful, and the trains are clean.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
If we're really going to break this down, trains need
to be dropping you off in walkable locations.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
They shouldn't be dropping you off in just a parking lot. Exactly.
You should be in a downtown area somewhere where you
can do things. Exactly, give me a couple of restaurants
and not need any get there. Yes, but because we
are a car reliant society, that didn't happen. I get it.
But you can't penalize people that need to be pass
with a car.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
So back to the New Jersey Transit one. Our trains
are legitimately falling apart. And the tunnel that goes into
New York, it's called the Arc Tunnel. It's been a plan.
There's only two tunnels because it's collapsing right Hurricane Sandy.
They said it's corroding it to the point where they
are expecting a catastrophic event to happen in order for.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
It to be fixed. They said it was that bad.
Did they finally approve that? If they approved it, but
how do you think it's going to take to build
it twenty years? Exactly?

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Yeah, Wow, we sound really angry about in my section.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
I know it's just annoying because companies are not giving
us any more money. Our salaries are not going up,
but our tolls are going to increase by two three
four hundred dollars a month.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
It's insane. I don't drive into the city anymore for
that reason alone. It's too much. And does that mean
ubers from Jersey City into here are going to be
more expensive?

Speaker 1 (27:20):
Now? Probably you're probably going to have to eat the
cost or pay the cost whatever. I'm over it. I'm
over it. I hate living here. I don't know how
me asking you about a library got us here because
you mentioned my rent going up. That's another thing.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
And now I have to pay congestion pricing, and now
I have to pay five hundred dollars more on my rent.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yeah, in what world this one?

Speaker 2 (27:40):
I was given a bumhand getting born in nineteen ninety one.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
I got to tell you, it was much easier when
the radio station was in Secaucus, in New Jersey, in
the swamp, in the middle of nowhere. I love that,
you know. Can we go back? Elvis tried back to
the Bayou. They were not having it. I would love that. Yeah,
I don't want to go into this city anymore. I'm
over the city. I love the city, but it is
is just outpricing everybody. You just can't afford to be here,

(28:07):
live here, work here, enjoy it. Nothing. Yeah, they want
everybody to come back, but that holy hell, in a
hand basket, in a hand basket. Yeah. So anyway Cooper
is doing is doing this travel thing for the summer.
So she's a she's at a day camp and that
has a little travel to really spent ten minutes talking
about infrastructure trains, Well, let's talk about bust. Let's talk

(28:27):
about buses then. So I've only ever taken a New
York bus once. Really, they're kind of frightening. You know
what was convenient? Yeah, I used to much. I used
to take the National County buses by my house when
I was like thirteen years old. I would get out
of school and I would take the bus to the
mall to buy the latest forty five or cassette single.
You can so see this. Also, I started watching Stranger
Thing season four. That's the l from Laverne. What's Laverne?

(28:51):
Laverne and Shirley ooh ocele Because we've talked about this before,
we're so like eighty d. Anyway, so Cooper does these
did you watch Change Your Thing season four? I didn't
watch any of Stranger Things ever. Ever. Do you have hids?
Yes they do. They must be terrified. They do. They
love it. They'll tell you. I was scared, really yeah,
I was scared a little bit. Have we have the

(29:11):
cinniment toast crunch box from the show. Did we eat it? No?
So it's I want to sell it, I think, but
there's a tiny little tear in the corner and takes
a value down. It was the last box. I don't
I shouldn't have bought it anyway. So Cooper takes these
little day trips or whatever. And last week or two
weeks ago, she did the six Flags New Jersey. Oh yeah, yeah,

(29:32):
Hurricane Harbor, six Flags, the whole thing. So they were
gone for three days and three days yeah, and on
the coach they camp out at. They went to hotels.
So on the camp bus or the coach bus anyway,
they said, it has a DVD player, so send DVDs.
And you know, since we really don't watch DVDs anymore,

(29:53):
most of our DVDs are gone either that other in
bins that I have no idea where they are. So
Cooper said, can we go to the library and get DVDs?
Did they have them there? And I was like, yeah,
they do. You know, I've been to the library in
a while. So we went and she picked out six DVDs,
you know, mostly like kiddie ones and whatnot, But then
she also picked out Ghostbusters After Life. Oh so good. Yeah,

(30:14):
I never I didn't see it. Oh it was so good.
You have to watch it. So we're good. Oh. First
of all, while we were picking out DVDs, some guy
literally crapped his pants as he walked by us. No,
I could not believe it. And if he didn't crap
his pants, it was the worst smell I've ever smelled
in my entire life. And he just made it like
nothing happened. Oh, the entire like the entire library, the

(30:35):
entire media section. Oh no, had to evacuate. It smelled
like a sewer explode. Oh god, it was so nauseating.
And he's just like, hey, can I borrow some headphones?
You know, to the guy at the circulation desk, And
I was like, how are you just going about her today?
Like it's horrible when you literally just shit your pants,
Like I don't know. It was a Cooper and I
looked at each other. I said, was that you? And

(30:57):
She's like, no, is it you? I said no, and
we both point to this dude so anyway, we got
the we got the DVDs, and we were heading up
to the countercoupers like how much does this cost? Is
it going to be expensive? And so she doesn't quite
get the concept of the library. I said, no, you're
we're just borrowing them. You don't cost anything unless we
don't return them. Then you get the fee. Then you
get the fee, you know. So we took them out,
and the Ghostbusters Afterlife was a three day rental. The

(31:20):
other ones where I think, you know, eight or seven
or eight or whatever it was, so we had to
get it back the day she came back. So of
course she came back. The other ones were there, Ghostbusters
Afterlife was not. She's like, oh, I thought it. I
thought I saw it in there, and the group leader
was like, oh my god, we don't know where it is.
I'll call the bus company and never found it. So

(31:40):
I was like, all right, I'll take care of this.
And I was about to bid on one on eBay
because they were like, it was like twelve bucks. I thought,
you know, the library wanted to charge fifty dollars for it?
What five? Oh fifty dollars hard pass. I'm like, what
is this nineteen ninety nine VHS because back in the
day they woul charging like one hundred twenty five dollars
for a VHS tape. It was missing nuts, you know,
so I was like, I don't know. So what I
did is did they.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
Put like a number on the DVD or like a sticker?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, So then they know it's
not their copy. Of course, so I couldn't do that.
So I was about to buy it on eBay and
the group leaders like, they will be an Amazon package
delivered to your house tomorrow, don't ask any questions. And
I was like, you don't have to do that, I'll
do it. She's like, it's fine. So the Amazon comes,
it's Ghostbusters After Life. So I'm like, what do I

(32:23):
do now?

Speaker 1 (32:24):
So I just I went to the library, and you know,
I never I don't want to say anything bad about
library people, but anyway, so I went to the desk
about library people. I went to the return desk and
the guy was like, can I help you know, and
I said listen. I said listen, I'm I. My daughter
went to camp took the DVD and it did not

(32:45):
make it back. I'm so sorry. Here I got a
new one. So he's like, Greg, do you know how
to do her replacement? I don't know what this is
and I'm and he's like no, So they he just
like put a post it note on it and wrote like, Sarah,
this is a replacement for whatever. Because he's like, I
have to have the my boss take care of this.
And I was like, okay, so we're good. Yeah, this
seems very intense. I was like, we're good. No late fees. Like,

(33:08):
He's like, no, I noted on your account that it's
a replacement. I said, all right, thank you very much,
and then I left. And of course the next day
what comes home from Camp Ghostbusters After your Life? Yeah,
So now I'm in a pickle. I'm like, what do
I do? Yeah. I was like, you know, we could
just keep this one, yeah, because I've already replaced it.
But I was like, I just threw it in the
in the night deposit box and just drove away. So

(33:29):
now they have two. Yeah, that's nice. I mean, this
story was stupid. There was no need for it. But
I just you know, I haven't I haven't taken anything
out from the library and I didn't even know my
card was still going to work. Because every once in
a while they make you renew it.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Yeah, and when they make you mine literally has a
piece of tape on it that had the expiration dates.
This way, when it was over, they could just take
out the piece of tape, yeah tape and put a
new one.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
I don't expire anymore. They used to it, and I
was like, why why would it expire? What are you doing?
I'm just poking holes? Oh but I mean the library
actually is a plethora of stuff, so it I don't
think people realize like what the library has.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Your local library has everything from new releases to movies
to anything in between. You can get whatever you need
from the library. That's why I joined it because it
was like, why am I spending money on books?

Speaker 1 (34:12):
Yeah? I wonder if they still have microfilm or microfiche.
I don't hear the difference is you figure that out?
If you do, know they got rid of the card catalogs.
Do you know what else you could get? What if
you have a library card?

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Sign up for libby l Ibby it's an app and
it links to your library card and you can take
out digital copies of the books.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Most of them do have that name. It's great I
love that one too. And you know what, I was
watching CBS Sunday morning last weekend and they were showing
like Libraries of the future, and there were some libraries
around they have podcast studios. What yes, I forget where
this library was, Michigan or something like that, but there
was a podcast studio and they have all kinds of stuff.
Now it's not just you know, old school Dewey decimal system.

(34:56):
What I know what the Dowey I never actually understood it.
We I had to take.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
We actually had a library class in grammar school and
you had to and I would always fail the Dowey
decimal part.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
I remember taking a field trip to the library. That's
where we all got our library cards. The first time.
It was in kindergarten. It was a pink It was
a pink card, I'll never forget it laminated with my
name on it and it was all handwritten. There was
no barcodes or anything like that. You know. So, but yeah,
that's that's self insurance. You're okay there. I have my
student ID. Our library so big it has an elevator.

(35:28):
I have my college diploma in pocket sized phone. Really
why they sent it to us? And I was like,
you know, what do you ever have that sounds fun?
Prove that you graduated college.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
No, And if anything, it's funny because I keep my
student ID right above it.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Oh that's how you get your fake apple discounts. Yeah,
I don't think they really care. You just go to
the store and say I'm a student. You can show
them anything. It's just kind of like when we were
in high school. I don't know if we were seniors yet.
We were either juniors or seniors, and we used to
go to the All American Food Mart. It was one

(36:04):
of those like shady delis that had a back room. Oh,
the backroom had porn, but I like that was the
caveat it was. There was a backroom dot dot dot.
The backroom had porn, right, but you know this is
where all the high school kids went to get beer
and stuff like that. And I just I remember a
friend of mine. They called him Budman. You know, he

(36:25):
was a very big beer drinker. And was this in
high school. This was in high school. We were either
juniors or seniors. We were probably going into our senior year,
so we were sixteen seventeen, somewhere in there, maybe eighteen,
but most of us were not eighteen, and so we
go to the place. The guy's name was Sharish. I'll
never forget. Good guy. Good guy. So my friend brings
this giant keg, you know, and slams it down and

(36:48):
the guy's like, you have ID and he goes. He
takes out this card and it's literally his dad's library
card photo copied in yellow and orange, and it's this
bald guy with a beer in glasses and he's like, yeah,
and did you get it? Goes, okay, fifty dollars or
whatever the hell it was. He paid and we walked
out with kegs. It was great. I have to make

(37:10):
this quick phone call. Oh, here we go job, So
why don't we just take a break. Okay, yeah, we'll
be back right after this. Andrew will now edit through
the magic of digital editing. Hello, we're back, and we're back. Yeah,

(37:31):
And I was singing, all right? Was that an important call?

Speaker 3 (37:34):
It was?

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Really? Could you have gotten fired if you did not
answer that?

Speaker 3 (37:37):
Well?

Speaker 1 (37:37):
I almost did today. You did almost get fired today.
You know, sometimes when you submit things, they don't wait.
So so okay. So the day that we're recording this,
the morning show was in Miami, yeah, yes, and Elvis
asked you to order them an Uber suv so they
could get from the hotel to the radio station.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
No, it was booked through carry limousines because you can
I book car services.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
We don't wait for ubers. Oh yeah, So they made
it seem like you ordered them an Uber and it
was supposed to be an suv and this little like
Maxima showed up. Okay, So no, it was a sedan okay,
and it wasn't great and it was for five people
with luggage. Well, somehow they made it work.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
Yeah, I wrote here the ground transportation. Let me see
what I wrote, because then you go back.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
And you're like you second guess yourself. Oh, I sdon
guessed myself on everything too. You know how many times
I'd run back into the studio to make sure it's
an auto so things. You know what I wrote right there?
A car pickup.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
I thought you would just understand it was an suv,
But how would she understand it was for an suv?
I never made that clear. Again, It's all on me,
And I apologized profusely.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
I'm glad that we have this audio. Yeah, that's fine,
I apologized, look it over text. Oh yes, they do.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
Let me tell you I was sleeping. I didn't even
get the call. I woke up to two text messages
and like a phone call. Or you were sleeping when
at what time?

Speaker 1 (38:58):
Five o'clock? Normally you're like up and almost here at
five o'clock. How come you didn't come out. I'm walking
two Sam's by five twenty. But you would have if
you were awake, like you were supposed to be on
your way to work. You would have been right because
you told me you were coming in at six this morning.
Sure will be there, surely at six. I have that
in a text.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
You didn't come in until eight forty five times a construct,
and so it's really it's up for you for your
interpretation of it.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
You know, well, you know what, I ran out of
time this morning and I was unable to stop at
bagel boss, Can you go next week?

Speaker 2 (39:28):
I would Oh that strawberry cream cheese on the biali? Oh,
I just want that so bad.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
Now half the country is saying, what's a bali? Although
we've been here before so we already mentioned this. Yes,
but I do have to get up earlier to do
this for you, you know that, right? Well, the thing
is only go if other people are in you know,
how'd you get that fon go for me? First of all? No,
because you know how much longer that takes if you
need it for everyone, if you need like six or
seven bagels.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
Oh as you might say to me, Oh, yes, dear,
I understand I have to take everyone's breakfast orders.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
You never called you dear, went Oh, yes you have?
I have not. I will find me on the listeners,
find me. I know you're out there. He has called
me dear before. No, that's you be doing me. You've said, dear,
you're doing me? Does dear? No, you have called me that,
maybe deer in a headlights, But I've never called you
d e a R deer you have? If I have,
I'll apologize. But I don't believe that I have. No,

(40:19):
I don't use that terminology. Yes, are you serious? Yes,
you're like not joking. No, I don't think like life
no ceas, I don't think that I do. How do
you know that? Because you say it all the time.
I don't really say that anymore? When do I say that?
I can't? Are you good? Are you forgetting things? Do
we need the previlege? In? We do need the privilegeen
And when are they sponsoring this podcast? No? Expensive, because

(40:43):
you might need it. Okay, you say dear, you'll be
like dear. No, my daughter Cooper says that all the time.
Oh really, Yeah, I don't say that, you do. I
want to know when, and I'd like to hear it.
And I will not say it anymore that I don't
say it. No, it's like you'll say it like in
a like a kind descending me, like, yes, I've got it, deer.
That's very condescending. Yeah, that's just like bless your heart,

(41:05):
I think.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
Yeah, that's the northern version of bless your heart.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
Yes, dear, would you be a deer? Yes? Yeah? How
do we get there? I don't know, condescending? You were
saying time, time is of essence or whatever you're saying.
Time is time, time is timing. And I love that,
Hooty and the blow for your song time is time time?
Why you punish me? Oh? Google? Get song from like

(41:30):
ninety five ninety sixty four ninety five on Cracked rear View.
Do you know what I want to go see? I
want to go to Austin City Limits. I think it
was on Crack Review. I want to go to Austin
city limits. So bad is that? Is that? Some like
it's a big festival in Austin.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
It's not country. They have everybody, it's this year's lineup
is Casey musk Graves, which his country? Oh love Casey
musk Graves. Zach Bryan, He's country.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
Country is so good? Brian, and a Zach Brown. That's
too much Zach. And there's a Luke Bryan. That's confusing.
And they all exist in the same country world. Is
there another Luke to or there someone else? Brian? Like,
we could connect all of.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
These probably And I checked, actually, And when I say
I checked, I just texted my friend who lives in
Kentucky and said, are they related? They just had really
bad flooding there is she okay, my friends are Okay, yeah, Okay.
They're in East Kentucky which kind of avoided the floods.
They're more in the mountains. Okay, you would have a
great time there.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
I would have a great time. Lots of places. It
is so try fine, majestic, it really is.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
And I don't think people like appreciated enough how many
different types of climates we have.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
Seriously, my daughter actually just did a teen tour and
went out west and were sending pictures home of like
these incredible like this country is so full of so
amazing things. Yes, the Grand Canyon and Mount Rushmore Canyon.
See the Mount Rushmore. Yes, they went. She was there
on July fourth. Does she have a picture? Yes? Can
you show it to me? I can.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
I want to see it, Okay, that I would love
to see one day. I have a feeling it's very underwhelming,
but I would.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
Like to see it. Yes, see to me, though, it
has to be a part of something else. I don't
think that your journey can just be to round Mount
Rushmore because then you're like, whoa click, All right, let's go. Well,
it's South Dakota, right, or is it North Dakota. It's
a Dakota. Yeah, it's a Dakota. Is a Dakota. Yeah,
I think it's south. Something about it feels south. I
believe it is South Dakota. And I'm just totally not
being able to open anything right now.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
But I when we did the off the Grid trip
last year to drive all the way from the Midlands
of Texas to San Francisco and stop at Yosemite, Yosemite
and stop at like the one that had what's the
one that people smoke drugs in?

Speaker 1 (43:36):
Wow? Cool? Look at them, like standing in front of
that is so cool. Yeah. Can you imagine be the
person that had to construct this, to chisel that out
and like what was it? Nineteen very early nineteen hundreds, right,
do you think they made it where they can like
add people to it. It looks like that was probably
their idea, but they never did. I mean, I feel like,
just add every president. Yeah, let's put Jimmy Carter up there.

Speaker 3 (43:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
I mean if I think if you serve as a president,
you deserve to be up there. No, I don't care
what president, I think you should be up there.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
You get a coin, that's enough. Every president gets a coin, yes, really, yes,
I didn't know that every president gets a dollar coin.
I know they all get a presidential portrait and a
library and you get Oh I wonder I want to
get a car to a presidential library. Do you get
a car?

Speaker 3 (44:19):
No?

Speaker 1 (44:19):
Is it a public library or it's just where you
keep your records or something. I think it's just like
a museum type thing. I think. I don't know, but yeah,
every every president gets a dollar coin. I didn't know
that I think they have to be dead for a while.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
Well, the presidential portrait needs to be donated to you,
or in most cases it's donated.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
Okay, oh, you have to pay for it. I think
something like that. Yeah. So like I know Obama did bushes.
Oh I see it's gifted. Yeah, he like gift. Yeah.
And then they hung it up and it was a
whole thing. Got it, so got it? I think that's fun.
I want to go see the White House. I'm telling you,
by the end of this year, I'm going to the
White House. I have, I've been, but I've never been
in I want to go so bad. I signed up

(44:59):
for the stupid eggroll every year. Never wear that's not
like the Chinese food, but the for Easter, you sign
up for egg rolls. Yes, via growpub I have signed
up for the Easter egg roll at the White House
Lottery probably for the last ten years. Ever since Ashley
was a little girl, I've been trying to do it
every year and I got shut out every single year.
And they're just about to be too old for that crap.
Damn it. You know we tried with my god daughter.

(45:20):
She lost. Yeah, I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
We must we got to make friends. Yeah, we got
to make friends with the Park Society. Once you're in
with the parks, you can get anything you want Park Society.
Actually that's a lie, because we tried to work with
the Park Society when we did the off the Great
Trip last year. I actually got someone in the government
office and they're like, there's a lot of legal red
tape around what we can it can't do for you.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
So we could give you some guides. The only society
I know is the Children's Aid Society. I don't I'm
really glad they made the Children's Aid Society. No, no, no, okay,
none of that. Somebody will. I'm sure they will ride
on a post and then it'll be Andy's an eighties

(46:00):
actly what you're talking about. If you if you can,
you google, sure to go to YouTube, go to YouTube,
and we can nothing more. We can put it on
this thing right on Superman Box. Yes, it's right. Children's
Aid A. I D your hands are about to hit me. Sorry,
Society p s A okay, yeah, and it should come up.
It was a it was an eighties thing. We may
have even talked about it a while back, but I think, uh,

(46:21):
I don't know if we ever played the jingle. It
was one of those Ad Council jingles from the eighties
that were very, you know, memorable. Yeah, this is it,
out of luck throwing up really ready made.

Speaker 3 (46:45):
The Children's Society Society?

Speaker 1 (46:57):
Okay, cool, you don't remember that? What did you say?
What year was from? Let me check? That's okay, don't
worry about it. I don't even know what the Children's
Aid Society is. They must have helped children and their parents. Uh,
nineteen eighties, eighties Okay, I love old eighties PSA's they
were so wacky and awesome. Yeah. Maybe we'll do a

(47:17):
whole show about that one day. That'd be fine. It'll
bring back memories for people. Nice little retrospective. Yeah, I
love that.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
We also have to get Greg Tea on we do
I think you give me the clips.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
I'm ready to talk. Oh, we're doing all the video stuff? Oh?
I forgot all about that. That would be fun. We could
do it in like every the first Friday of the month.
You know what. I gotta find the USB stick. Yeah,
and you do it.

Speaker 2 (47:38):
We'll watch them live and have you guys react to it,
and then I'll ask you questions.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
That could be a very long thing. Yeah, well, we'll
do it the first Friday of the month. There's a
lot to talk. I know, it'd be so much fun.
I would love it. Wow, we could talk about that
time when we hooked fire extinguishers up to the chair
in Jersey City and the Staples parking lot and he
was in a rocket chair and he just sprayed the
fire extinguishers and the chair didn't go anywhere. I can't,
but we pretend that it did. I lost no video. Then, Yeah,

(48:03):
a lot of things that I want to find out. Oh,
we did so much stuff. I gotta find the print
out of all the bits that we've done. Find it
and then we'll chat. All right, Yay? Is that it?
I think?

Speaker 3 (48:11):
So?

Speaker 1 (48:11):
Okay, Well that's not the actual time because you had
to take a call pal.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
So it was forty seven minutes. Dear, we had forty
seven minutes at least.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
Okay? Is that enough for people without a doubt? See,
I like to Here's what I like to do on Wednesdays.
I like to get in the car here at the
radio station, and I will put this podcast on and
drive home. And I like to be home just as
the podcast is ending. So that's why you stretch it.
I need it to be like just about an hour,
you know, because my ride in is forty two minutes,

(48:41):
but my ride home is an hour and five. Yeah,
or sometimes more congestion. Pricing is going to kill you.
Apparently it's going to make things better. Andrew, it's not
a whiz right out of the city. There's just gonna
be more cars because people aren't gonna know. No, there's
not gonna be more car And if anything, the ubers
are now going to be like, I'm not picking you
up because I'm not paying the thirty dollars. They'll be
the same amount of cars and people just be paying

(49:01):
stupid money. It's dumb. And you know what, in a
cashless society, you don't even realize you're paying the money
until you get the bill. True no to noon a
new and you drive through the thing like a typewriter
on wheels and it just reads your easy pass or
your license plate and you're screwed. Kitching kitching. By the way,
that's very outdated sound, even though people still, I think

(49:22):
know what it means, like in all these commercials save
money now Kijing, but cash registers haven't made the kaching
noise in probably forty years they got to make it
up chang. It was like click click click click jing
click click click click kajing, and then the drawer would
open and the little thing would pop up. No sale.
You don't even know what that kind of cash register is.

Speaker 2 (49:43):
It's an old school you know, bept beepp But I
know the old school ones.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
They sometimes keep them, like my barbershop has one. Really yeah,
love that Yeah, And some people actually still use it,
but it might be just for show at this point
they'll just do click click clickshing is for sure. It
doesn't really keep records anymore. Back the day would actually
cash registers would register the cash that was put in it.
That's why it's called a cash register. And at the
end of the day on the BP BEEP ones it

(50:10):
would print it beppep. It would print out a tape
of all the transactions for the day. I remember my boss.
At the end of the day, he would stick the
cay in and turn it and I and a print
like an entire freaking roll, like a roster for the
entire It would look like a CVS receipt times one hundred,
and it would just print the whole day's receipts out
and it would register all the cash that was in
the cash register, and if it didn't match up, somebody

(50:31):
was getting fired. Did you know in.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
Japan most of their cash registers they still use cash
for a lot. And what they would do is it
was almost like an ATM. You'd hand them your money.
They had a tray that they could just throw the
change in. They had a thing like an atm almost
where you'd put money in it. There was no counting money.
You like that, put it in and it would just.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
Give you it back. All the computer would take care
of the rest. Genius. Well, it's kind of like the
self checkout lanes now that take cash.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
Yes, yeah, it's yes, yeah, but they would still have
an attendant who would like make sure it worked.

Speaker 1 (51:04):
My favorite thing always was would be like nineteen and
they give you a little tray to put your money in.
I loved that too. Cute.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
Hey, you get like a nice little tray and they
pass it to you like this, and you'd put the
money in and then you pass it back. They pick
it up and they'd go, do you remember going to
use two hands? You never use one hand? Really, it's
make disrespectful otherwise use two hands. Okay, yeah, just like
you have to be careful at the casino. I never
I'm always so scared. I never know, like if you're
allowed to touch the money or where to put it
or tap it or whatever.

Speaker 1 (51:31):
I get scared. Same you go to the cage and
they're like I try to hand it to them and
like no, no, no, put it down. You have to
put it down so the camera can see it or whatever,
and you can't like hand it to them it. Sometimes
we get restrictions, even when it's like you're playing blackjack
or something on a table and they're like tap it.
I'm like, well that we need to see it. Why
I don't. I get nervous. Yeah, I don't. I don't

(51:52):
like being around that stuff. That scares me. But what
I was saying is back.

Speaker 2 (51:54):
Yeah, when handing or receiving something too or from somebody,
it's considered more polite to use two hands in paying
for something, whether in a store or restaurant. Continue, No,
it's fine, I'll cut it in a second.

Speaker 1 (52:05):
No, but to me, like passing to me, like when
you see people doing this, it's shady, but it's polite.
Thank you so much, right though, like you're like sliding
it to them on the table with both Can I
have my money back there? I don't have a lot
of it, so I just need whatever I have tipping,
not a thing I have to find. But do you

(52:26):
remember going to a store for the first time when
you were a young kid, and it would be like
nineteen fifteen, not the year, but that would be how
much that was, And you give them a twenty dollars
bill and then eighty five cents would shoot out of
that machine into the little cup. Yes, right, yes, So
the person at the register would just push in twenty
and then eighty five cents would come back, and it
would shoot out of that little thing.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
The cashier will place the change of seats on this train.
It's considered more polite to use the trade. Yeah, yeah, okay,
that's very interesting.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
It's a tray. Love that. I love money talk. We
could I could do a whole hour about currency and
money talk, not like, oh thank you, hold on, oh
so polite, thank you. No, that's shady though. See in America,
it's different. Whenever I hand my credit card, I used
to I go like, I hand it with two Why
don't you you do you? How do you So you
go like this. You hate if it's down. So like,

(53:15):
if I'm paying for something, careful, don't get it on video.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
Oh yeah, that's true. I don't go like this, so
I usually hand it like that. This way they could
stand it because this doesn't tap.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
The tap broke? How did the tap break? Have zero
clue it was tap? This was one of the first
tap cards. I remember getting a tap card. I was like,
what is that? Yeah? The first tap card I ever
had was an American Express Blue card. It was the
weirdest thing. It's a silver, it's a clear card, and
it had like all the wires running through it. It
was supposed to be like trendy and cool. I've had
it for probably ten or fifteen years, and it was

(53:43):
the first card that had the tap thing in it,
and most places didn't have that.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
That's a symbol you're getting old. If you take a
credit card to its like expiration date, you're getting old.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
We're talking about my credit cards. Always responsibility. Your credit
cards an't only just saying it shows responsibility. You're not
at the age anymore. Where it's it's like I think
I left at the bar. I'm going to cancelizee. Because
credit cards are usually only good for two or three years.
This one, I have to wait until twenty twenty four
to get one, and they.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
Keep saying, oh, no, no, no, just say that you
didn't just something broken out.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
They'll send you. The only thing is, though, nine times
out of ten they change the account. Yah, exactly, And
I'm not. I'm fine with just inserting it in the
thing and calling it a day. Yeah. I don't tap
too many places either, because I don't really think about tapping.
I like the tap. You do like the tap like that.
It's just so convenient it is, But I feel like
there could be a lot of fraud that way. I
don't know, if someone gets your car, they just tap.

(54:32):
But I guess if they get your car they could
just stick it in too, right. Yeah, there aren't many
cards you can swipe anymore. Yeah, that's weird. My Insta
card credit card does not have a chip, so I
have to swipe that. And a lot of gift cards.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
You still have to say and let me guess, are
the people at the registers like, what's this?

Speaker 1 (54:47):
No, because I only do self checkout, I don't do
I don't do regular checkout. Anymore. I don't, not because
I'm born off it. It's not because I'm being a jerk.
It is more efficient for me time wise, just banging
out my own stuff. Yeah, because I'll beep it, i'll
scan it, and I'll just put it right into the
bag in order of how I like to do it.
I don't want, especially because it's all bagless now. No,

(55:08):
I still I have my case of plastic bags. How
am I supposed to carry stuff out if I'm doing
an Instacart order? What am I supposed to do? I
just here you go, guy, just throw it at them.
That would actually be hysterical. No, And I'm not buying
paper bags because they rip. They're annoying. And how many
trips can I make with paper bags? I can make
with I carry fifteen or twenty plastic bags at once,

(55:31):
drop it on the porch, drive away paper bag two
at a time. Tops. And could you imagine if you
have a big old can of high Sea in one
of them? Can you imagine rip through the bottom, smash
crazy crazy girl girl. It's a sound from TikTok. Oh
what do I know? I don't know any of those apps?
Oh no, I do I know MySpace dot com, and

(55:52):
I know blogger. What's blogger? That was like the blogging website.
I never had that or did that or whatever. Maybe
you didn't. You don't even know. We should get back
to to currency and supermarket talk on an upcoming episode, sure,
because there's so much to talk about. Write it down
currency and supermarket, and I'll bring it all kinds of currency.
I'll bring in my currencies too. Well. I don't know

(56:13):
how much currency you have, dear. I'm talking about obscure,
strange currency, not your run of the mill, you know,
five dollars bill. Yeah, I have it from all different countries. Oh,
I was talking about American currency, dear. See, that's it.
You're the one that says it after I say something
I don't ever say, Dear, you do you add it
on to my sentence?

Speaker 3 (56:34):
You do?

time for that. You're very busy with your podcast producing. Yeah,

nice reviews on Apple.

Speaker 1 (57:10):
Oh I haven't check it out? Yeah, could you real quick?
Or is it a Serial Killers related it is? Should
we do it on serial Killers Now? We're gonna read
them here because it's the same thing. It's not though,
because it's probably serial related. It probably says Scotty loves
those marshmallows, and people on bull chat won't understand what
it means. Okay, what we need to well understand. We
also need a serial Killer's logo sign like look behind us,

(57:30):
that thing is all curled up because of the humidity
in this place.

This is Johnny, the producer of the Back of the
Cereal Box podcast and we absolutely love this show. Wow,
you guys have great chemistry, chemistry, and I really love
everything you do.

I share the same frustration finding new cereals at retail. Huh,
five bowls for fighting.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
That's a funny one.

Speaker 2 (57:52):
I've been listening to this podcast for only about six months,
but I've been listening from the beginning while listening to
new episodes as they're released. I love that it's pretty
much stayed true to itself since the start. Scotty and
Andrew's witty back and forth is entertaining, and I'm glad
I have something fun to listen to that gets me
through my workday. Love the early Danielle episodes, and I
love when they have guests. Thank you Mergan nineteen ninety.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
Wow. I mean, we pretty much have stayed true to ourselves,
except the fact that I got lazy and stopped doing segments.
I really need to start doing that again. Please. I
promised a serial graveyard graveyard, and I just haven't done it.
I'm going to okay, good people have even suggested cereals
for it. Then let's go. Yes, let's go send me

have everything? Yes, I'm assuming that it's still in my computer.
Thingy over there. I'm sure it's in your computer. Yeah, thingy,
it's all the hard drive on the network. I think
