I hang a scene with a member of the show.
What's happened, what's happening? What's up? I got purp in
my cup. What's happening? What's up? You're not working?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I know my brain? What's up? Everybody? Happy weekend? It

the best Bits time. It is.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
That's what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
That's what we're here for. Fake energy, but I like it.
As you can hear a Scuba Steves with me this weekend. Scuba,
how are you?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Oh man, I'm doing a wonderful I'm doing all right.
I've had a stressful morning, but everything's all right. We're
doing all right. We're here, we're Best bitsing it up.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Well, we're gonna have some fun conversation and mitigate some
of that stress I was doing. Not think about it. Okay,
I need to know if you've been nerding out on
anything lately.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Nerding We have a Disney trip coming up, so I've
been nerding out on that a little bit, like making
my reservations, and I'm pretty excited. It's the kids, like
first like real full big Disney trip of all three
kids going and being there and doing like the hotel
and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah. Are they all able to ride rides? Now? Are
they all big.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Enough that my oldest it can ride everything because he's
hella tall. He's like in that nine to nine percent
tile of height nice has been.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
He can't relate tall.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah, you can't relate at all, exactly. You still can't
ride some of the rides of Disney.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, literally, that's actually driven. There are moments, right, I
got a little closes.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
You get in line, like, ma'am, can you stand on
there next to that seven year old and make sure
you're tall enough.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I'm shocked. I've never been off.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah. And then my middle child, my daughter, she's getting
tall and she can ride almost all the rides. I
think she's like forty seven inches forty eight inches, Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah, she's right there. I think forty eight is the
cutoff almost all the rides.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah. And then my youngest she's around like thirty eight
forty inches, so she can do a lot of the
rides like the snow White, which I was surprised, the
snow White Mine whatever roller.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Coaster snow White, and the seven Dowarves, the Mine train
or something.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah. Yeah, and thunder Mountain is reopening with a brand
new track and everything, so that'd be kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
She able to ride those?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
You ride those?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, Oh that's exciting.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah. I thinks we're all gonna be able to ride
a lot of rides, which is fun.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Oh and any restaurants you're excited about right now?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
So we didn't. Well, the one we did that was
kind of cool because I've done it before, but my
kids have never experienced it is inside Cinderella's Castle. They
have a restaurant on the second floor, and we had
an evening reservation right before fireworks, so we'll be in
there during the firework thing when they're doing that. I'm
magic king, no fun. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Is there a cool view of the fireworks from in there?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yes, it's like this big, huge like glass window and
you can see everything where the fireworks are and it's
it's a cool experience.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Oh that's fun. Okay, I can't wait to see videos
of that.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah. Yeah, the light the lights go down and everything.
It's like a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Isn't that one of the character dinners too, so you
get the characters hanging out because it's.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I say, snow white. No you said I don't have
some white in my head.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Well you said snow white the rock, right, that's.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Why, that's why. Thank you so much for recalling that
for me. I got, Yes, Cinderella, she comes around. I
believe some of the characters in the movie they come around.
I haven't done it in like fifteen twenty years. This
has been a minute.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, yeah, that's gonna be so fun for them. Are
the only character I wonder then, I mean.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Maybe the Fairy Godmother may come around or want to.
The little rats, they may come around. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Cinderella doesn't have a whole lot of characters. I mean Cinderella,
Prince Darmine.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
The rats, the little mice thing.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Ye, I don't think they sing. Maybe they did, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
They go, they sing the song they go in the movie. Yeah,
but in the their mouse stone move, but it's a
person inside there. Spoiler alert, there's humans in there.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I didn't know if they did him as animatronics, because.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
That would be cool, would be kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Yeah, they would sing.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
I know some of the I think Disneyland, but again,
I haven't been a disney World in a minute. But
in a Disneyland when I was there living there, they
had Mickey Mouse where they were starting to get his
mouth to move and there was like almost an animatronic face,
which is really cool.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
That is fun see, and I know a lot of
them are starting to do animatronics again. Yeah, it was
like they did it and then they took it away
and they brought it back.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
They also are kind of creepy because when I think
of animatronics, I think of Chuck E Cheese.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
So yes, yeah, Chucky Cheese was always scary.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, Like I don't know why as a kid we
would all aways go and get excited to go to
Chuck E Cheese. But it was creepy, it was.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
And you had that little big purple guy on the
piano like just rocking back and forth and not hitting
any of the keys, and their eyes are blinking like
and while they would blink and one of them blinking
one on one blink and you're like, oh, malfunction.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Like I would imagine a horror movie and it's just
in the dark and you're sitting there with animatronics.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I almost kind of think that's where the concept of
you know that Freddy Nights or Finance or Freddy whatever. Yeah,
it feels like that's like very chucky cheese as you know,
ask you know.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, they were inspired, I think so.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
We have one in Nashville, an animatronic karaoke bar.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I've always wanted to go there. Is it cool?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Haven't been? Yeah, but it's called like Critters something and
it's in a hotel. It's kind of a side Yeah,
people who have gone have loved it, But I just
like something about the animatronics really freeks me out, and
I just haven't been able to convince myself to go.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I kind of like the animatronics with are far away
and you're on a ride and you're just passing them
and you don't really get to hang out with them
for any period of time.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Well, in those animatronics, I feel like are so much
more detailed than they're like fully thought out. They replicate something,
but the animatronics into chuck E cheese or like bunk,
they're like a random animal like a rabbit or a squirrel,
and you're just like, why are your eyes moving that way?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
And the robotics of it sucked. Isn't it crazy that
Walt Disney created those animatronics in the fifties and they're
better than the ones that you got a Chuck e
Cheese in the nineties, but the technology was far surpass
the fifties and they couldn't get it near as well
as he did it.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Well, Disney was holding onto all his secrets.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I know he's an alien.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Seriously, though, have you gone down that conspiracy theory.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
A little bit?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
It was crazy. I haven't posted this video. I was
going to put it up at some point, maybe next week.
Now that I'm like in this like social world, I
have to like space things out and all this bull
crab stupid. But above my house, it was maybe Monday
or Tuesday this week, I went outside and I saw
this super bright, like ultra bright light up in the
(05:55):
in the in the sky, but it was like down
it was like closer than where the stars are and everything.
And a lot of times when I see a super
bright star or something, I'll pull out. I have this app.
It's called it is an app. It's really cool. If
you don't have it, it's the coolest thing ever. It's free.
It's called skyview Light, and you can open this thing
up and you get inside here. Of course, you can
pay for the more expensive version but you look around
(06:16):
where you're at and like right where you're sitting, of
course that way is Jupiter, so you're aligned with Jupiter
right now. But I see, if you look around right here,
see how you can see the sky like this. Yeah,
you look around like the moon is over there. You
can find all the different like Aquarius and whatever. And
so when I see a super bright light, I go, oh,
I wonder if that is, And usually it's like a
Jupiter or a Mars or a Venus or something. There's
the Hubble telescope. So I did that. I pulled it out,
(06:40):
try to line it up to see what it was,
and it was nothing. It wasn't a star, it was nothing.
It was not even it wasn't even a little star.
It had nothing on my radar right here. And then
so I was like, oh my god, let me record
a video of this. So I started recording a video
of it, and I kid you, not the craziest thing ever.
So I'm recording a video maybe twenty thirty seconds of it,
and I go to like look down on my phone
to stop it and like, you know, turn my phone off.
(07:00):
It's also like four in the morning, so I turn
my phone off. Put in my pocket and I look
back up and it's gone, And I'm like, so in
that like ten second time frame, if I don't know
where I went, and I wish I would have had
my head up to look to see what happened to it.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, I did it just flip off? Did it like
it go?
Speaker 1 (07:16):
No idea where I went and what happened to it
or have it left or where it was, But it
was gone, like just completely gone.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That is so cool, I know.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
And then I'm looking at the video and I zooming
on it and I can see multiple lights on it,
which is even crazier.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
So listen, I'm full believer, So you don't have to
convince me. You. If you can't look up into the
sky c space and think that we are the only
ones who have figured this out in that vast space
that's up there, you're crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
You're out of your mind.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, Like there's a whole entire universe out there. We
are not the only planet that figured things out totally.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
And you have to be kind of I don't know
why people think that way, but you have to almost
kind of be a little bit ignorant that you feel
like we are the superior being we are the superior planet. Like,
who's to say there isn't life on all the other planets.
We haven't been there. We have no idea. We can't
get to Neptune or Jupiter or any of that crap.
You even seen it, So you have no idea.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
No, and we like to think it's not livable because
it's not in the same capacity of how we've created Earth,
or however Earth was created. Yes, but then you look
at those other places and we don't know that beans
didn't figure out how to live within those particular environments
and climates.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, we have no idea. Yeah, we have no idea.
And the fact that anyone thinks that that we are
the ultimate, you're out of your mind. You got to
open you have to open your mind up. I'm not
putting you down. You just have to open up your
mind to the idea that we are not almighty.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
See, and I like, that's the only reason why I
want to live for a really long time is so
I can hopefully potentially see space exploration, see what we
find out. Yeah, or even if I don't live forever,
maybe I come back and I get to be around
you go to space and we have this futuristic life
that we are out in space and we're understanding other
planets and we're meeting other beans.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Well maybe after your life, maybe the after life is
somewhere else and you.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And another planet.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah, you're like, oh my god, Neptune does have life.
I am from Neptune?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Is that crazy?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
But then like you're caught up to create like Neptune
also only things that they're.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
The only ones say, Yeah, Ruth is stupid. There's no
way they can live there, it's too much water. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Well, and honestly it's not helping because the thing that
I've been nerding out on lately is Star Trek.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Really, oh, Star Trek Okay, yes, that's my dad's favorite show.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Okay. So I couldn't get into a lot of the
old ones when I did my whole like Marvel, Star Wars,
and I got into all of those during COVID. Yeah,
I tried to watch the old Star Trek movies and
I was like, they're good, They're fine, But I was
just I wasn't really connecting with it. Yeah, and then
I found there was a new show that came out
called Star Trek. It's Starfleet Academy. It was like a
brand new TV show, and I watched it, I enjoyed it,
(09:44):
and then I got it pop up. It was like
Star Trek Discovery. Okay, Scooba, I cannot put this TV
show down.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Is the one from the nineties or a new one?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
No, it's from like the two thousand and fivey ten
I think, okay, or maybe a little bit later than that.
But it's newer, so it's not the full blown old one.
But they have a lot of discourse about the older ones,
so I know at least stuff that's going on with
like Spock. Spok's part of it. It's there's just a
lot of things I'm learning in it, and I just
(10:14):
all I want to do is watch this TV show.
I'm upseessed. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Star Trek is a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
It's so good. It is about space exploration, like Star
Wars was really about wars, right, I mean it's in
the name. You were battling there. It was all action
all the time. There was always people fighting each other race.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Almost like Earth, different races fighting againstach other for no reason.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah, like they all had different things they needed or wanted.
But then Star Trek is about space exploration. Yeah, and
I love that, Like I feel like I'm learning. Obviously
none of it's true or whatever. Maybe maybe it is
and this is how they're teaching us. I don't know,
but it's just really cool to think about, like the
way that they enter and try and talk to new
(10:57):
life forms and how they go about that space operation.
I am. I'm in like I am now, I'm a
nerd of all things.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, it's crazy because Star Trek kind of gets forgotten
and not really talked about. And my dad used to
work for the government and used to fly out. Who
knows the hell he did and what happened to him,
But he was obsessed with two shows, which made me
think if somebody is like kind of like if you're
into an industry and you work in it and you're
all about it, why was he so obsessed with Star
Trek and Quantum Leap And I've ever heard of Quantum Leap. Yeah,
(11:26):
that's a show where it's like basically, you know, you're
being able to manipulate and transform and shape shift and
all kinds of stuff like that. So I was like,
why was he so obsessed with those two things? And
he would he was hired by the government and worked
on ships and flying devices and like saw all kinds
of stuff and worked in top secret areas and we'd
be gone for a month and being Guam in Iraq
and Iran and in the nineties in the eighties, So
(11:49):
you wonder, like, you know, maybe he's watching it, like, oh,
that's true. Yeah, I've I've seen a version of.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
That, or like have they gotten it right yet?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
We got it right?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, Oh no, that's wrong, that's not what we do.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
We do this yeah yeah, yeah, Like that's so that
just watching it and the realizing that that could be
a possibility one day. So it really I'm obsessed with space.
I think space is just the coolest thing ever.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
It is because it's infinite. That's why it's so cool,
because it's so it's so undiscovered. That that's why it's
so intriguing because you don't know what it is and
you can't and this at least instance or right now,
you don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
No. Well, and each like Star Trek season is about
a different thing. One was time travel, one with stopping
the end of the universe. One was discovering how life
forms were created. Like yeah, and I it's Star Trek
is how my brain works when it comes to space
and science. That's how I wanna That's how I wish
we could evolve, so we could be in spaceships and
(12:42):
we could travel to other planets and go through time
and study the ecosystems. All of that stuff is so
cool to me.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
It is, And even so this day, we used to
watch my dad would watch the original one, the Star
Trek original series, that one that's when I have William
Shatner in it.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I did see that one on there and it's like, gosh,
just like eleven seasons, but it's one three. That one is.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yeah, this the original one from sixty six to sixty nine.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Okay, there's a lot of Star Trek.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah. The one that you're thinking of, this is the
one that I watched with my dad a lot. It
was Star Trek the Next Generation. That's the one from
eighty seven to ninety four. Okay, that was the really
popular one that was like seven or eight seasons, like
super popular. The one you're probably watching is Star Trek
the Discovery. Yes, that's the one. That's the newer one.
That's one that just came out. Yeah, and then Star
Trek Enterprise was another fun one.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I'm gonna watch Star Trek Enterprise next. I'm finishing season
five of Discovery at the moment.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, Enterprise is a cool one because it has what's
his name in it? That's from has Scott Bacuola. He's
the one that's from the TV show that we watched
as a kid, the Captain. Yes, he was in a
Quantum Leap that was his TV.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Show, So he's also if it's Captain Pike, is that
who I'm Is that the same person?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
You're No, his name is he's Jonathan Archer in the
TV show.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Okay, so they've only brought back for Discovery. They brought
back Captain Pike, and they brought back Spock, and they
brought backsbox Dad. Who is the other? What is there?
What is their species?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
What Spock?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I don't know. I don't remember now.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Of course, now I'm watching it and I'm so in
exactly Yeah, well they've now evolved so they're a different
planet now. Yeah, and it changed the name of them.
But I'm just yeah, I'm all in, Like I'm completely
nerding out. I can't stop watching it. I've been to
the entire five seasons in the last gosh month, you
have a.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Lot to do. Because so in the nineties they started
branching off. I forgot. They have Star Trek Voyager and
Star Trek Deep Space nine. That's all in the nineties.
So the nineties was the first the original eighties. Nineties
was the Next Generation, which played off of the original
Star Trek TV show, and then after Next Generation in
that they then they had Star Trek Voyager, but in
Voyager they also had Deep Space nine. And so we
(14:47):
used to watch all those theah, there's so many and
all those have like six or seven seasons, and we
used to watch all those.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
And I tried trying to get into like old TV
shows and stuff. It's hard for me. Yeah, not because
I don't think it wouldn't be good. It's just it's
hard to watch when you're used to the digital now.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
I know. Yeah, yeah, it makes I kind of appreciate
the old school because you knew that people had to
handcraft that makeup and the prosthetics and all the other
sets were real and tangible. For me, I watch it
as like this is so cool and this is unbelievable.
They were able to make that with their hands, whereas
now it's like, well, yeah, of course you make it
with ones and zeros, and that's like kind of the
lame cop out.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I know, and I listen. I love that for one
episode and then I'm like, okay, I like the new technology,
not ai, I like that, just the newer digital.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah, it just looks cleaner. I get a yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Yeah, it's just it's hard to get my brain to
go back to the old one when I'm so used
to the new one.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got you.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
That's why I'm staying in there. But yeah, that's what
I've been nerding out, like I've full nerd. I mean,
I got Harry Potterer, Star Wars, Marvel DC now at
Star Trek. I even watched Lord of the Rings because
that's my fiance's favorite.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Okay, I love Lord of the Rings.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Yeah, I'm a little nerd.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yeah. Lord of the Rings are a little long, but
I like him though they are long.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
My next venture into that once I get over my store.
My Star Trek obsession is The.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Hobbit, which i've watched yet, I haven't seen that. I
just watched the first three Lord of the Rings and
then I was out.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Okay, so that's what I watch, and I got mad
at him. I was like, there's a lot of animals
that die, and why didn't you tell me? He's like, honestly,
I forgot.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was such a long time ago.
I feel like, yeah, so yeah, that's And speaking of
the space, another place I'm excited to go to when
I go to Disney. I don't know if you went
to there. It was at Epcot Space two twenty. Is
it a new ride, No, it's a restaurant. Yeah, it's
a restaurant where you actually you go inside of the
restaurant and then like it's like all like you're in space, Like.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
This guy, how do I not know about those things?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
So hard? You have to get reservations for all these
and it's so hard to get reservations at some of these,
and you have to do it like the moment they
unlock and they open reservations. I think it's like a
month or two out from whenever you go. Like I
was about one in the morning and I was getting
all of our reservations and as I was getting them,
there like gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, so and that
people were booking them and I was like, oh my god,
(16:57):
this is going fast. So I got like times that
were like fine, and some of them the time sucked,
but I just booked whatever.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Okay, Well I love that. Yeah, I cannot wait for
your trip. I'm living through you guys.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah, of course.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Okay, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back,
all right, Scooba. I want to find out what kind
of person you are? Ready for this just like a quiz.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
It's like the Team Beat Tiger Beet quizzes kind of.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
It was more like I saw this one question online,
then I kind of kept going down it.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
It's just literally the kind of person you are. If
you get stopped by a train, do you wait or
do you try and find a different way to where
you're going.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I guess it depends on where I'm going. If I'm
like in an event a rush, and I'm running to
a certain event, then I will like that. I'll look
at it like what can I really find it another
way to go? A lot of times you can't because
it's blocking everywhere you need to go. So I'd say
nine times out of ten, I just chill and wait.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
See nine times out of ten I'm looking for another way, okay.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
And I have the kids in the car, like that's
so cool, and I'm like, oh, they're true, they're loving us.
So I rolled the windows down. We watch it and
have a good time and enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
That's fun when you're just by yourself. It's honest exciting.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Even by myself. I'm like, I don't there's nothing I
can do about this. I'm just gonna sit here and wait.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Yeah. See, but that's it's teaching to us about our patients.
You have a little bit more patience. I don't have
as much patience to sit there and wait. I don't
like most of the time because like what I wish
trains did was tell me how many more you have
no idea.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
It just keeps going and going on.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
A few times that have been like I'm just gonna
wait it out. I'm like, this thing went for fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Forever, or where you go to the a three point
turn to get out of there, it stops, yes, and
then it's gone, and then you're like, ah, dang it.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
So why can't we have either spray paying the number
or like there's like a digital like it's counting down more,
three more, and then that might make that whole thing smoother.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Yeah, but how have we know I've been in that
type of technology. I don't understand this one.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
He means to be more patient. That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Listen some days, but most days, that's where we're learning
what kind of people we are. Okay, do you keep
things stocked like paper towels, toilet paper, soaps, or even
toilet trees or do you buy only one thing at
a time.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Oh, we're a family with kids and we go to Costco,
so we're stocked, especially if it's on sale. We're like, oh,
we need that eventually, so it's just buy eighteen more
toilet paper rolls for the so we don't have to
sit there like, damn it, we're out of toilet paper rolls.
So we're always stocked on like those kind of essential items.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
See, and that's if you open up my closet, it
looks like an entire like bathroom, body, bart works.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
If you will you go in there and go shopping.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yes, yeah, I am. You would think an apocalypse is
coming at any moment in time because I have stalked
on all my favorite things, Like once I find a
favorite of something, just buy it, skincare, beauty, toilet tree, whatever. Yeah,
I'm just like, okay, keep it, keep it in stock,
so then I don't have to worry about running out
of it.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Like if you go underneath my bathroom counters, there's rows
of the same thing.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Oh damn, okay, Wow, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
So I am like stocked to the brim.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
That's like yeah Costco girl, Yeah, very Costco. And then
we also do blue Land and if you've heard of that,
use it for soap and every so. We have like
a hundred of those, which only takes up a very
small space and you know, you just put it in
the glass bottle at hot water yea, boom done.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Blulan is my favorite. That was one that I transitioned
all my cleaning stuff over to.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
We do that too cleaning stuff. We saw it on
Shark Tank like fifteen years ago and we're immediately flipped
and switched.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
They don't use any plastic, No, they're all these little
disintegrated tablets for everything.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah yeah, and they smell the soaps smell so good.
They have all kinds of like crazy ass like flavor
and flavors.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Flavors. Are you eating soap?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Don't eat the sap? Let your curse in front of
your mother.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
That's a throwback. I remember that. If you they'll put
in your mouth. Yeah, yeah, that was a throwback. Okay,
so we're both on the same Yeah. Do you buy
snacks for a trip or do you raw dog and
eat along the way?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
If it were just me, like what I did back
in the day, I would raw dog and eat and
I love to stop and do all the different snacks
at the gas stations. But with kids, they get cranky
and honoree. So we do both. We pack a snack
bag to you know, to keep us going down on
the road, and then eventually we'll stop at a gas
station and then get snacks. So we do it. We're
hybrid now.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Okay, So I wonder if that's why I am the
way that I am because I've always gotten snacks, But
then I'll still stop because the snacks that I got
or not what I want in the moment.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yes, yeah, you see something to hold you over.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yes, But I think it's because my parents did the
same thing that you guys did, because they always had
snacks for us, but we always wanted something because you're
on a roach. If you want something that's not in
the car.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I don't want just apples and cheese sticks and pirates booty,
I want some other stuff yep. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
But my fiance, on the other hand, he never they
never had snacks packed, so they would just and so
he's always like, why do we have an entire bag of.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
It's also to save money too. It's smart because you
don't have to spend as much money because you brought
snacks from home.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yes, so it also is I like to think that
that's true, but I still spend a lot of money
when i'm true.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Yes, yeah, it ends up happening.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Yeah, it was your fiance. It was your fiance, your wife.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I'm married your wife.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Your wife the same way. She do things, the same
way as you like where they'd have snacks and then yeah,
they were.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Even more conservative. They wouldn't even stop for snacks as
they're growing up. They only did whatever they brought with them,
whatever it came with them. They never stopped for anything.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
See is that funny the different ways that we were
raised or brought up trips specifically, Oh.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yeah for us, and we didn't bring our family, didn't
bring crap. We were stopping at McDonald's. It was like
we couldn't wait to get to the first stop to
go to McDonald's and get whatever, you know whatever happy meal.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
So now it's almost like you guys have done a
happy medium.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Yeah, I have definitely changing to you. She's like, we
don't even stop. We bring much of apples and stuff
and it's better, it's healthier blueberries. Well I'm like, yeah,
but like I want to get out of the car
and stretch and get gas and walk around and check
out the snacks. And she's always like when I go
into the place, they don't spend too much money. And
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, who cares. She's yet, Well,
we're in a budget and we're trying to spend keep
the money for the trip of where we're going. All right, Fine,
that's how she gets me.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
She's still keeping you on track all these years later.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I know, yeah, she's trying. She's trying. But then I
give her those puppy dog guys and she lets me
have whatever I want.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
So it really you guys there, it does.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Do you drive in the fast lane often or never
at all? Uh?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Fast lane often? Because I'm usually like I'm going so
I would say a lot of times the fast line. Yeah,
It's very rare that I'm in the chill lane unless
I'm so early to something and then I'm just trying
to kill time. Then I'll go in that lane. But
nine times out of ten, i'm booking it. I'm trying
to get home or trying to get to where I'm
trying to go to see Eve.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
But now that counteracts your patients of the train.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
It does, But the train nothing can do about. It's
one of those like like it's like the laws of
physics or average whatever the hell it is right that
you just can't there's nothing. There's nothing you can do about.
I guess the laws of the universe. It's there. It's
stopping you. Nothing you can do. In a driving situation,
there is something you can do. You have you have
options of a slow lan or a fast lane. No
options with the train.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
But if you live in Nashville, Tennessee, specifically, they're all
the slow.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Lane, yes exactly, Yes, they're all the slow lane. Oh yeah.
Or somebody who's going who is in the slowing pops
into the fast lane and then slows down. You're like,
what are you doing? And they're so so adamant to
get in that fast lane. Like thinking that they're going
to start going fast and then they don't.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
You're like, oh, okay, listen, and I'm with you. I
I'm a fast lane rider all the way. Like, I
will do everything I can to get into the far
left lane because that is where I exist. Yeah, but
let me tell you, the worst driver in the history
of life is the person who cuts you off. Yeah,
and proceeds to go slower than they were going before.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, You're like, what is the point of this?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
So you cut me off to make my life harder?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah? Stay where you were. You were fine where you
were you were, so you were where you were supposed
to be, and I came over here. It's like a magnet.
They have to like they immediately have to get on
the left lane. It's like being so simple minded and
stay where you're supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
It is, I'm telling you, Like every time it happens,
I'm like, there's some kind of karma that is coming
back to me right now, and I try and like
remember that it's karma.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
It has to be otherwise nothing about that situation makes
sense to me. Why would you if I happen to
get close to cutting somebody off, I'm speeding up. I'm
trying to not act as if I was cutting them off,
because that is not my intention.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
The common courtesy of the fast lane. Yes, yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
It if you get over and you go slow. I
don't understand. I don't understand the brain.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
I don't get it either. Yeah, I don't understand the
concept of why you do that.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Scuba. I was on the road the other day and
I saw a guy flash his gun at another driver.
Oh my god, So let me tell you the situation
that happened.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
That's why. That's the one thing that's scares about living
in places like this is because everyone's a damn sheriff.
They all got a gun. They're all walking around like
they're the freaking owners of the law. Stop it.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
This is exactly what happened. And you want to talk
about cutting off. So my friend was driving, thankfully because
she's a little bit more slower pace than I have.
I'm kind of the fast driver. But we're in the
far right lane and a car from the middle lane
just zips over and cuts us off. Yeah, and does
exactly what I just said. They start going slow, and
they're kind of driving erratically. They're going in between lanes
and just not not okay, notably. Well, then there's another
(25:47):
merge lane and that's coming and a car cuts them off.
Heaven forbid, this car gets cut off even though they.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Cut off us exactly.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Instant karma, instant karma. And you thought the erratic driving
was happening before it gets worse. Now he's weaving in
and out of these and sorry, I assume it's a guy.
I don't know, but I'm assuming it's a guy. And
he's weaving out of the lanes, in and out, and
he's trying not to let this car get over. The
car's trying to get over that kind of off. So
the car finally does make it over into the middle lane.
The guy continues to follow him to the middle lane.
(26:17):
Then the guy obviously realizes that there's something happening I'm sure,
tries to get in the far left lane. The guy
follows him again, but cuts him off from getting over.
Like how there wasn't a crash? Yeah, I have zero idea.
But as he like cuts him off to get into
the far left lane, the guy sticks flashy silver thing
out the window. Oh my god, and you just see
(26:37):
the other car like pull back almost like hands up,
like I'm out. I don't want to do this. I
don't know what's going on, not realizing like this car
had no idea right, like they were just trying to
merge into the lane. Yes, they cut him off, but
it was a merging situation that's always dicey. But this
guy was mad when he was one to cut us
off or richually that somebody else cut.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Him off and nothing flash is good. It's ridiculous, dude,
that's so stupid.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
I was baffled, and I was a little like, go
the other way. I don't care if it takes us longer,
like we're not going to be here whenever something go.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Because then because then you become a casualty of their stupidity, literally,
either either through the gun or the dumb ass driving
that they're doing. Then they're putting me at risk. It's
not worth it.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
It was horrible. I've never seen anything like it in
my life.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
That's so stupid.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
And there was natural traffic like it was interest It
was us three cars on the road.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yeah it was packed.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
This was at like a afternoon almost going into that
five o'clock PM traffic. Yeah, yeah, it was late, and
so I have never witnessed something like that in my life,
and now it has given me more patience. I don't
want to be waved.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
A gun at exactly.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I didn't think that was real. You hear the story.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
No, I've seen people be crazy like that all the time.
Although like hold a gun like at their at their window,
like they'll at you pass them or whatever, or as
they pass you, they like tap the gun at their window.
You're like, really, you're really gonna shoot me over driving?
Like how stupid are you? And you shouldn't have that gun?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Then?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
If if you care about gun laws and gun safety
and all this kind of crap, clearly you don't, because
that is the most ignorant move ever.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Yeah, why would you put everybody else at risk just
because you felt a certain way?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Get over it, dude.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
I get it. Road rage, I have it. I get
frustrated with did.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
You get hit? Are you are you injured? Or are
you shut up? Keep moving?
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Go? My anger stays within me in road rage. It
doesn't don't care go to anybody else.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Like even the horn I used to I used to
like slam on the horn. People would do stupid stuff
and it would be like a toy bet beep or
like a bee, Like, what the hell, dude? Now, my
wife's like, don't use the horn anymore because people have
guns around here. Yeah, and I'm like, oh my gosh,
so stupid.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Well I have proof for you, because I watched it
in roll time. Yeah, and he was not even afraid
that he was waving it out the window.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah. Did you call nine one?
Speaker 2 (28:45):
No? I ran away.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Oh you should have been lunchbox.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I didn't want to be lunchbox in that situation. I
just wanted to be out. Yeah, you know, like go
to redrection, take us twenty minutes out of the way.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yeah, I'm done, don't.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
I don't care, because that's somebody who's clearly acting around.
And if they somehow found out that I was the
one who called the cops and we were falling, I just.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Think they're going to retaliate against you in that particular situation.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yes, I watched them retaliating in somebody for cutting them off.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yeah, yeah, somebody else. I know.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
I know, it's so stupid, you know, like I watched
the retaliation.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
I'm out.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
I know all that to say. But we're gonna take
a quick break. We'll be right back with some more.
Hopefully you learned a lot about us we are you?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Is there like some sort of answer at the very end,
like you are a number seven? You're this?
Speaker 2 (29:26):
No, I was just talking about it.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
You learned through the answers.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Yeah, just we are as people because there's not a
right or wrong answer.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, we're just people. I don't know if
we're like labeled as something now because we answered a
certain way. No, Okay, that was kind of boring.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Do you want to be like you want me to
give you a buzzece question?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Kind of like you know, when you do those things
back in the day, you'd answer a question, you'd be
categorized as something and that was who you were.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
No, I'm not trying to add to the trauma that
people already have, you know, just you can acknowledge who
you are now. Okay, I hope you're right back. Excuse me.
Something that I've realized is that it's kind of hard
to keep a hobby as an adult.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Yeah, because we have a lot of things going on
in our lives. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Do you have things around your house that are like
graveyards of the hobbies that you've tried to pursue.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
No, because my wife usually gets her rid of stuff quick.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
She doesn't even let you go back to it. No.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Well, there's one thing I try to get back into shape,
and I bought a pair of like dumbbells, just one
set of dumbbells or like twenty five pounds, and they
just sit there in our bonus room and every once
in a while I'll go touch them, but they're just there.
And one time she kicked it with her feet. She's
like stud dumb bells. I swear I'm gonna start working
out and I don't. And so that's like the only
thing we have that. It's a graveyard of that. And
(30:42):
then I have a closet of collectibles of like all
my shoes and things that I collect.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
That's a graveyard.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Yeah, it's a grave yards sight unseen, so you don't
know about until you open the door and go, whoa,
there's a lot of stuff in there.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Do you just keep that door lock so she doesn't
open it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Yeah, yeah, I keep it locked, and I put a
lock on it so the kids don't go in there
and mess around my stuff because then that would piss
me off.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Even though it's a graveyard and they're not doing anything.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Well, then they're gonna do somewhether. They're they're gonna bend things
or break them or mess around with them. So that's
not for them.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Is there a hope one day that you sell all
of that stuff or you pass it down to them,
or like, what's your idea in your head.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
With all that, I think a little bit of passing
down and selling. One of the biggest traumatic things that
for me as like a collector that I didn't hold
on to was all the Pokemon cards that I used
to have back in the nineties. Because now I'm looking
at the value of the ones that I had that
I would sell for like fifty bucks or a Back
then it was a lot one hundred dollars for a
Charter's Art first edition, Like, well, one hundred bucks, I'll
(31:34):
take it. Now it's worth like thirty thousand dollars and
I could have paid for my kids college, or bought
a brand new car, or or put a huge chunk
towards our mortgage. And I'm like, oh my god, I
had I had close to a million dollars worth of
now worth a product, if not more that I just
got rid of at the time was a lot of money,
but now it's even more money. So now I guess
I had this like terrible, awful anxiety of not holding
(32:00):
onto something because in twenty years it could be worth
a million dollars.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
There's trauma there, there's some trauma.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Fair though, I mean once you see, but it's also
hard to predict what are the things that are going
to come back?
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Are you exactly?
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Like who would have thought that Pokemon would have taken
that turn? Now as I've gotten older and I've seen
the thing like kind of the habits that we follow,
Like I think if you collected comic books, certain comic books,
or if there's things that lasted the test of time
when they were first around, yeah, I think they often
come back. Yeah, but it's things that are a fad
(32:36):
for like a quick moment in time that I don't
think ever.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yeah, like Tamagatchi and like furbies and Tickle Me Elmos.
It was it was a fad. Pokemon lasted for a
long period of time. I had a lull, but then
it came back because we were kids when it came
out and now we're adults that have money to That's
when when you never see these stories of people that
are fighting were Pokemon cards. It's not a bunch of
eight year olds because that's what it was when we
were kids. It was a bunch of eight year olds
and ten year old No, it was a bunch of
(33:00):
a thirty year old forty year old adults who are
now ruining it for the kids that were us, but
now that can't even enjoy Pokemon because you got a
bunch of these greedy as adults fighting in for Pokemon
cards in costco parking lots. It's disgusting.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
But would that be you? So you get out to
your coquestion if you still had your.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Cal I would never fight though. I would never fight
for it. And I didn't collect it because I liked it.
I collected it because I knew that there was a
value in it. I was never a Pokemon fan. I
was a fan of the money that it would generate.
I was a true fan of collecting sports related cards
and memorabilia, which those I have a lot of as well.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Are those making as much of a it a come
back for your buck?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
I guess they had come back in the pandemic because
people were a nostalgia nostalgic about those things, and so
I bought right at the beginning of the pandemic, I
bought a bunch of like unopened boxes of like, for example,
Tiger Woods his rookie year of golf. When that was
came out, they were like fifty to seventy five dollars
a box, and his card was worth twenty bucks. And
then on eBay, because people were broke, I was buying
(33:56):
they were so cheap. There was like ten dollars for
a box, and now they're worth like two hundred buck.
So there's a little bit of a of a you know,
of I guess equity in it. But am my thinking
is if Tiger Woods dies or yeah, something happens to him,
because he's in this crazy thing right now, but he's
the Jordan of that sport, and I would assume that
those items would go up in value. So I have
(34:17):
a lot of Tiger Wood stuff.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
So Tiger Tiger, you're watching him do all of his
crazy things, like you got.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
A accident, dead now he's still alive, damn it.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Those are your moments. And it's true. It's wild. The
just memorabilia in general that goes up when somebody passes.
Oh my gosh, yah, because like it, all of a sudden,
people feel like they're never going to be able to
attain or a touch or something like that.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
With Yeah, like Kobe was a great one. Kobe was
he was always worth a lot, but then when he died,
everything went like through the roof.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Oh so you really hated me during Easy Trivia this week,
didn't you?
Speaker 1 (34:51):
What was the question, black mom, black mambas, What the
hell is freaking Kobe Bryan? What are you kidding me?
What do you think it was?
Speaker 2 (34:58):
I thought it was Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
No, Michael Jordan's the greatest ever I know.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Well, in all fairness non sports fans.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Only know a handful. I do know. Kobe Bryant's name.
Nicknames are a lot harder for me.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Black Mamba, like come on.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
And honestly, after it was said, I was like, oh,
there was a sign that went up like somebody did
a graffiti art of.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Black after everything. Yeah. Yeah, Lebron James the King, whiny baby.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
I try, I really try hard to understand sports. For me,
I'm getting better. Yeah, I've gotten a whole lot better
than I used to be. But there was once upon
a time where I would not have even known any
of those names.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Yeah, who's the Big Hurt, the Big Herd, the Big Hurt, Hurt,
the Big Hurt?
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Oh baseball?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Oh baseball? Is that.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
I watched a movie on him? Forty two Is that him?
Speaker 1 (35:41):
No, it's Jackie Robinson.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
But forty two is Jackie Robinson? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Yeah, he's one that he's going to change baseball and allow,
you know, basically helped for black gut people to come
into the sport. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Yeah, great movie.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Yeah, forty two is amazing, Yes, and also so crazy
that I mean there's still versions of it now. Unfortunately
that people live that way and treating people with people
like that just because of the way they looked, Like,
how stupid is that?
Speaker 2 (36:02):
I know, Like you watch that movie.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Yes, it's a great movie. I think people are just
fearful of things that are different in whatever, and also
maybe they're afraid that these guys are gonna come in
and be better than them, which by the way, they
were were. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Okay, so who is the Big Hurt?
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Frank Thomas?
Speaker 2 (36:16):
We were doing baseball.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Frank Thomas, Chicago White Sox.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
I never heard of that name. Okay, wow, Frank Thomas.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Frank Thomas, he was freaking phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Okay, gave me this will be fun. Okay, give me
sports nicknames and I'll see if I can fee him.
So that was Frank Thomas, Thomas, the big Hurt, Big Hurt.
I'm trying. I'm gonna try and remember these.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Yeah, yeah, okay, Grandmama, can you give me sports? So
Grandmama actually basketball. He transcended the sport and became a
pop cultural icon and TV shows because of his character Grandmama.
And he was featured in I Believe Like Family Matters
for a couple episodes and they would use them a
lot on sitcoms and TV shows as Grandmama. But he
(36:56):
was a basketball player. And randomly, Homeboy followed me on
Instagram that day and I was like, my mama did yeah,
And I was like, holy crap. He followed me on Instagram,
but he knows who I am. This is crazy. He
followed me unsolicited, and so I was like, oh my god,
this is crazy. This guy is like a freaking legend
in the sport. Played basketball in the nineties. I'll even
give you another hand and play for Charlotte Hornets. Okay,
and even the Charlotte Hornets were a pop cultural phenomenon
(37:16):
because of their jerseys and the way they looked in
the nineties, they were like a thing.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Okay, and I would definitely know this name.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Maybe I don't know. I mean I would think if
you watched TV of the nineties, like Family Matters and
stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
I mean, I was pretty young it was he on
Full House.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Ever, I think he was in Full House too. I
feel he like I felt he did like a run
for a minute there because he was so popular in
the mid nineties.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Thinking of a Shack. But I don't think it's Shacked.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
No, that's said, that's Shack Diesel.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Yeah, that's an easy Superman sacked Diesel.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Superman, Superman is shot.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Yeah, Superman Shack's Grandmama.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Larry Johnson and the Charlotte Hornets.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
No noth Wow, Okay, so Grandmama is Larry Johnson. We've done.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
He would look up, he would he would dress in
a gram He should look it up. He would dress
in a Grandma outfit like he would have like the wig.
It was almost in the era of and I almost
wonder if maybe Eddie Murphy was inspired by this when
he did Nunny Professor and all that.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Oh, I'm seeing the commercial of him.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Yeah, he's even commercials like it was a whole thing.
It was such a it was such a moment him
in that character. I don't know, I don't know the
root of it and why he did it, but it
was always this big. It was a big deal.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Wait, did he inspire what's uhy Murphy? No? No, what's
the Robin Robin Williams missed out fire?
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Maybe you could have. I don't know, who knows, because
he was such a big, huge thing in the early
nineties when all those things were coming out.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Yeah, okay, so Grandmama, Larry Johnson, Big Hurt, Fred.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Frank Thomas, Frank Fred Thomas.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Frank Thomps, the Big Hurt, Grandmama, Larry Johnson, we got
Black Mama, Kobe Bryant. Yeah, yeah, give me two more?
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Is not all? We got the top off the top
of my dome without looking it up. But I can't
think of it anymore.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Okay, See I did I did really that?
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Yeah? Yea, it's okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
It's it's honestly as if they do transcend truly pop
culture wise, like in the pop culture that I've been around,
I know them.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
There's another Superman in basketball, there's another super and it
was in the two thousands. Also played for the Atlanta
Magic and was their center.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Wait is that? Oh?
Speaker 1 (39:18):
So it wasn't Shaq.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Is he a little guy?
Speaker 1 (39:20):
No, he's a big dude. Dang is there center? So
he's big. And then he became a big deal because
then he was all over. He was playing for the Lakers.
He did the almost exact same thing Shack did Orlando
to La. Then became like a pop cultural thing and
was in like TV shows and movies and then yeah,
he's I think he's also like a big deal on
movies on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Football is my hardest one.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
I'm not gonna lie really.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Basketball is the one that I just we didn't have
any version of a basketball team in Kansas. We don't
have one here.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
Everywhere I've been, I've just never basketball is not okay.
So that's what makes it hard. Basketball is really difficult
for me. Okay, I'll just.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Tell you Dwight Howard. Dwight Howard, Oh wow, Okay.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Wait, he's not the one that's mary to a famous singer,
is he?
Speaker 1 (40:02):
No? No, he's not.
Speaker 2 (40:02):

Speaker 1 (40:04):
That's Sierra that's Russell Wilson.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
That's that's football. Yeah. Yeah, when they're married to some
many famous Okay, so then I know that, Okay, yeah, yeah, Okay,
So what was his name?
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Dwight Howard White Howard? He was? He was and maybe
I don't know if it was. He in the slam
Dunk competition he put on a Superman cape and then
like dunked over a person. It was like a big
deal in the early two thousands.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Okay, Superman.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
I learned a lot here. We got Larry Johnson, Frank
why can't I remember his name?
Speaker 1 (40:33):
Frank Thomas, Frank Thomas, h.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Dwight Howard, Yeah, is there another one I learned? No?
Speaker 1 (40:37):
I mean and you know Shaquille and Neil.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
Yeah, Shaquille. So he's also Superman.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
Yeah, he was the original, the.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
Original, and then Dwight Howard is like it was like
a Superman too.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
He's like paying how much to him? Because it was
like he also was Orlando and was you know, a
big deal. So it was kind of like a second
coming of Superman.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Okay. I feel a lot more well versed in NBA,
and I would love to I've never been to an
NBA game really never been Oh wow, I told you, like,

I need to know if you've been nerding out on
anything lately.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Nerding We have a Disney trip coming up, so I've
been nerding out on that a little bit, like making
my reservations, and I'm pretty excited. It's the kids, like
first like real full big Disney trip of all three
kids going and being there and doing like the hotel
and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah. Are they all able to ride rides? Now? Are
they all big.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Enough that my oldest it can ride everything because he's
hella tall. He's like in that nine to nine percent
tile of height nice has been.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
He can't relate tall.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah, you can't relate at all, exactly. You still can't
ride some of the rides of Disney.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, literally, that's actually driven. There are moments, right, I
got a little closes.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
You get in line, like, ma'am, can you stand on
there next to that seven year old and make sure
you're tall enough.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I'm shocked. I've never been off.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah. And then my middle child, my daughter, she's getting
tall and she can ride almost all the rides. I
think she's like forty seven inches forty eight inches, Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah, she's right there. I think forty eight is the
cutoff almost all the rides.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah. And then my youngest she's around like thirty eight
forty inches, so she can do a lot of the
rides like the snow White, which I was surprised, the
snow White Mine whatever roller.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Coaster snow White, and the seven Dowarves, the Mine train
or something.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah. Yeah, and thunder Mountain is reopening with a brand
new track and everything, so that'd be kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
She able to ride those?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
You ride those?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, Oh that's exciting.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah. I thinks we're all gonna be able to ride
a lot of rides, which is fun.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Oh and any restaurants you're excited about right now?
Speaker 1 (02:09):
So we didn't. Well, the one we did that was
kind of cool because I've done it before, but my
kids have never experienced it is inside Cinderella's Castle. They
have a restaurant on the second floor, and we had
an evening reservation right before fireworks, so we'll be in
there during the firework thing when they're doing that. I'm
magic king, no fun. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Is there a cool view of the fireworks from in there?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yes, it's like this big, huge like glass window and
you can see everything where the fireworks are and it's
it's a cool experience.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Oh that's fun. Okay, I can't wait to see videos
of that.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah. Yeah, the light the lights go down and everything.
It's like a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Isn't that one of the character dinners too, so you
get the characters hanging out because it's.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I say, snow white. No you said I don't have
some white in my head.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Well you said snow white the rock, right, that's.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Why, that's why. Thank you so much for recalling that
for me. I got, Yes, Cinderella, she comes around. I
believe some of the characters in the movie they come around.
I haven't done it in like fifteen twenty years. This
has been a minute.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, yeah, that's gonna be so fun for them. Are
the only character I wonder then, I mean.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Maybe the Fairy Godmother may come around or want to.
The little rats, they may come around. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Cinderella doesn't have a whole lot of characters. I mean Cinderella,
Prince Darmine.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
The rats, the little mice thing.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Ye, I don't think they sing. Maybe they did, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
They go, they sing the song they go in the movie. Yeah,
but in the their mouse stone move, but it's a
person inside there. Spoiler alert, there's humans in there.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I didn't know if they did him as animatronics, because.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
That would be cool, would be kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Yeah, they would sing.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
I know some of the I think Disneyland, but again,
I haven't been a disney World in a minute. But
in a Disneyland when I was there living there, they
had Mickey Mouse where they were starting to get his
mouth to move and there was like almost an animatronic face,
which is really cool.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
That is fun see, and I know a lot of
them are starting to do animatronics again. Yeah, it was
like they did it and then they took it away
and they brought it back.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
They also are kind of creepy because when I think
of animatronics, I think of Chuck E Cheese.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
So yes, yeah, Chucky Cheese was always scary.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, Like I don't know why as a kid we
would all aways go and get excited to go to
Chuck E Cheese. But it was creepy, it was.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
And you had that little big purple guy on the
piano like just rocking back and forth and not hitting
any of the keys, and their eyes are blinking like
and while they would blink and one of them blinking
one on one blink and you're like, oh, malfunction.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Like I would imagine a horror movie and it's just
in the dark and you're sitting there with animatronics.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
I almost kind of think that's where the concept of
you know that Freddy Nights or Finance or Freddy whatever. Yeah,
it feels like that's like very chucky cheese as you know,
ask you know.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, they were inspired, I think so.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
We have one in Nashville, an animatronic karaoke bar.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I've always wanted to go there. Is it cool?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Haven't been? Yeah, but it's called like Critters something and
it's in a hotel. It's kind of a side Yeah,
people who have gone have loved it, But I just
like something about the animatronics really freeks me out, and
I just haven't been able to convince myself to go.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I kind of like the animatronics with are far away
and you're on a ride and you're just passing them
and you don't really get to hang out with them
for any period of time.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Well, in those animatronics, I feel like are so much
more detailed than they're like fully thought out. They replicate something,
but the animatronics into chuck E cheese or like bunk,
they're like a random animal like a rabbit or a squirrel,
and you're just like, why are your eyes moving that way?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
And the robotics of it sucked. Isn't it crazy that
Walt Disney created those animatronics in the fifties and they're
better than the ones that you got a Chuck e
Cheese in the nineties, but the technology was far surpass
the fifties and they couldn't get it near as well
as he did it.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Well, Disney was holding onto all his secrets.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I know he's an alien.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Seriously, though, have you gone down that conspiracy theory.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
A little bit?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
It was crazy. I haven't posted this video. I was
going to put it up at some point, maybe next week.
Now that I'm like in this like social world, I
have to like space things out and all this bull
crab stupid. But above my house, it was maybe Monday
or Tuesday this week, I went outside and I saw
this super bright, like ultra bright light up in the
(05:55):
in the in the sky, but it was like down
it was like closer than where the stars are and everything.
And a lot of times when I see a super
bright star or something, I'll pull out. I have this app.
It's called it is an app. It's really cool. If
you don't have it, it's the coolest thing ever. It's free.
It's called skyview Light, and you can open this thing
up and you get inside here. Of course, you can
pay for the more expensive version but you look around
(06:16):
where you're at and like right where you're sitting, of
course that way is Jupiter, so you're aligned with Jupiter
right now. But I see, if you look around right here,
see how you can see the sky like this. Yeah,
you look around like the moon is over there. You
can find all the different like Aquarius and whatever. And
so when I see a super bright light, I go, oh,
I wonder if that is, And usually it's like a
Jupiter or a Mars or a Venus or something. There's
the Hubble telescope. So I did that. I pulled it out,
(06:40):
try to line it up to see what it was,
and it was nothing. It wasn't a star, it was nothing.
It was not even it wasn't even a little star.
It had nothing on my radar right here. And then
so I was like, oh my god, let me record
a video of this. So I started recording a video
of it, and I kid you, not the craziest thing ever.
So I'm recording a video maybe twenty thirty seconds of it,
and I go to like look down on my phone
to stop it and like, you know, turn my phone off.
(07:00):
It's also like four in the morning, so I turn
my phone off. Put in my pocket and I look
back up and it's gone, And I'm like, so in
that like ten second time frame, if I don't know
where I went, and I wish I would have had
my head up to look to see what happened to it.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, I did it just flip off? Did it like
it go?
Speaker 1 (07:16):
No idea where I went and what happened to it
or have it left or where it was, But it
was gone, like just completely gone.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That is so cool, I know.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
And then I'm looking at the video and I zooming
on it and I can see multiple lights on it,
which is even crazier.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
So listen, I'm full believer, So you don't have to
convince me. You. If you can't look up into the
sky c space and think that we are the only
ones who have figured this out in that vast space
that's up there, you're crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
You're out of your mind.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, Like there's a whole entire universe out there. We
are not the only planet that figured things out totally.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
And you have to be kind of I don't know
why people think that way, but you have to almost
kind of be a little bit ignorant that you feel
like we are the superior being we are the superior planet. Like,
who's to say there isn't life on all the other planets.
We haven't been there. We have no idea. We can't
get to Neptune or Jupiter or any of that crap.
You even seen it, So you have no idea.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
No, and we like to think it's not livable because
it's not in the same capacity of how we've created Earth,
or however Earth was created. Yes, but then you look
at those other places and we don't know that beans
didn't figure out how to live within those particular environments
and climates.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, we have no idea. Yeah, we have no idea.
And the fact that anyone thinks that that we are
the ultimate, you're out of your mind. You got to
open you have to open your mind up. I'm not
putting you down. You just have to open up your
mind to the idea that we are not almighty.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
See, and I like, that's the only reason why I
want to live for a really long time is so
I can hopefully potentially see space exploration, see what we
find out. Yeah, or even if I don't live forever,
maybe I come back and I get to be around
you go to space and we have this futuristic life
that we are out in space and we're understanding other
planets and we're meeting other beans.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Well maybe after your life, maybe the after life is
somewhere else and you.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And another planet.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah, you're like, oh my god, Neptune does have life.
I am from Neptune?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Is that crazy?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
But then like you're caught up to create like Neptune
also only things that they're.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
The only ones say, Yeah, Ruth is stupid. There's no
way they can live there, it's too much water. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Well, and honestly it's not helping because the thing that
I've been nerding out on lately is Star Trek.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Really, oh, Star Trek Okay, yes, that's my dad's favorite show.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Okay. So I couldn't get into a lot of the
old ones when I did my whole like Marvel, Star Wars,
and I got into all of those during COVID. Yeah,
I tried to watch the old Star Trek movies and
I was like, they're good, They're fine, But I was
just I wasn't really connecting with it. Yeah, and then
I found there was a new show that came out
called Star Trek. It's Starfleet Academy. It was like a
brand new TV show, and I watched it, I enjoyed it,
(09:44):
and then I got it pop up. It was like
Star Trek Discovery. Okay, Scooba, I cannot put this TV
show down.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Is the one from the nineties or a new one?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
No, it's from like the two thousand and fivey ten
I think, okay, or maybe a little bit later than that.
But it's newer, so it's not the full blown old one.
But they have a lot of discourse about the older ones,
so I know at least stuff that's going on with
like Spock. Spok's part of it. It's there's just a
lot of things I'm learning in it, and I just
(10:14):
all I want to do is watch this TV show.
I'm upseessed. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Star Trek is a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
It's so good. It is about space exploration, like Star
Wars was really about wars, right, I mean it's in
the name. You were battling there. It was all action
all the time. There was always people fighting each other race.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Almost like Earth, different races fighting againstach other for no reason.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Yeah, like they all had different things they needed or wanted.
But then Star Trek is about space exploration. Yeah, and
I love that, Like I feel like I'm learning. Obviously
none of it's true or whatever. Maybe maybe it is
and this is how they're teaching us. I don't know,
but it's just really cool to think about, like the
way that they enter and try and talk to new
(10:57):
life forms and how they go about that space operation.
I am. I'm in like I am now, I'm a
nerd of all things.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, it's crazy because Star Trek kind of gets forgotten
and not really talked about. And my dad used to
work for the government and used to fly out. Who
knows the hell he did and what happened to him,
But he was obsessed with two shows, which made me
think if somebody is like kind of like if you're
into an industry and you work in it and you're
all about it, why was he so obsessed with Star
Trek and Quantum Leap And I've ever heard of Quantum Leap. Yeah,
(11:26):
that's a show where it's like basically, you know, you're
being able to manipulate and transform and shape shift and
all kinds of stuff like that. So I was like,
why was he so obsessed with those two things? And
he would he was hired by the government and worked
on ships and flying devices and like saw all kinds
of stuff and worked in top secret areas and we'd
be gone for a month and being Guam in Iraq
and Iran and in the nineties in the eighties, So
(11:49):
you wonder, like, you know, maybe he's watching it, like, oh,
that's true. Yeah, I've I've seen a version of.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
That, or like have they gotten it right yet?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
We got it right?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, Oh no, that's wrong, that's not what we do.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
We do this yeah yeah, yeah, Like that's so that
just watching it and the realizing that that could be
a possibility one day. So it really I'm obsessed with space.
I think space is just the coolest thing ever.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
It is because it's infinite. That's why it's so cool,
because it's so it's so undiscovered. That that's why it's
so intriguing because you don't know what it is and
you can't and this at least instance or right now,
you don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
No. Well, and each like Star Trek season is about
a different thing. One was time travel, one with stopping
the end of the universe. One was discovering how life
forms were created. Like yeah, and I it's Star Trek
is how my brain works when it comes to space
and science. That's how I wanna That's how I wish
we could evolve, so we could be in spaceships and
(12:42):
we could travel to other planets and go through time
and study the ecosystems. All of that stuff is so
cool to me.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
It is, And even so this day, we used to
watch my dad would watch the original one, the Star
Trek original series, that one that's when I have William
Shatner in it.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I did see that one on there and it's like, gosh,
just like eleven seasons, but it's one three. That one is.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yeah, this the original one from sixty six to sixty nine.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Okay, there's a lot of Star Trek.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah. The one that you're thinking of, this is the
one that I watched with my dad a lot. It
was Star Trek the Next Generation. That's the one from
eighty seven to ninety four. Okay, that was the really
popular one that was like seven or eight seasons, like
super popular. The one you're probably watching is Star Trek
the Discovery. Yes, that's the one. That's the newer one.
That's one that just came out. Yeah, and then Star
Trek Enterprise was another fun one.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I'm gonna watch Star Trek Enterprise next. I'm finishing season
five of Discovery at the moment.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, Enterprise is a cool one because it has what's
his name in it? That's from has Scott Bacuola. He's
the one that's from the TV show that we watched
as a kid, the Captain. Yes, he was in a
Quantum Leap that was his TV.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Show, So he's also if it's Captain Pike, is that
who I'm Is that the same person?
Speaker 1 (13:48):
You're No, his name is he's Jonathan Archer in the
TV show.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Okay, so they've only brought back for Discovery. They brought
back Captain Pike, and they brought back Spock, and they
brought backsbox Dad. Who is the other? What is there?
What is their species?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
What Spock?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I don't know. I don't remember now.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Of course, now I'm watching it and I'm so in
exactly Yeah, well they've now evolved so they're a different
planet now. Yeah, and it changed the name of them.
But I'm just yeah, I'm all in, Like I'm completely
nerding out. I can't stop watching it. I've been to
the entire five seasons in the last gosh month, you
have a.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Lot to do. Because so in the nineties they started
branching off. I forgot. They have Star Trek Voyager and
Star Trek Deep Space nine. That's all in the nineties.
So the nineties was the first the original eighties. Nineties
was the Next Generation, which played off of the original
Star Trek TV show, and then after Next Generation in
that they then they had Star Trek Voyager, but in
Voyager they also had Deep Space nine. And so we
(14:47):
used to watch all those theah, there's so many and
all those have like six or seven seasons, and we
used to watch all those.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
And I tried trying to get into like old TV
shows and stuff. It's hard for me. Yeah, not because
I don't think it wouldn't be good. It's just it's
hard to watch when you're used to the digital now.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
I know. Yeah, yeah, it makes I kind of appreciate
the old school because you knew that people had to
handcraft that makeup and the prosthetics and all the other
sets were real and tangible. For me, I watch it
as like this is so cool and this is unbelievable.
They were able to make that with their hands, whereas
now it's like, well, yeah, of course you make it
with ones and zeros, and that's like kind of the
lame cop out.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I know, and I listen. I love that for one
episode and then I'm like, okay, I like the new technology,
not ai, I like that, just the newer digital.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah, it just looks cleaner. I get a yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Yeah, it's just it's hard to get my brain to
go back to the old one when I'm so used
to the new one.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got you.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
That's why I'm staying in there. But yeah, that's what
I've been nerding out, like I've full nerd. I mean,
I got Harry Potterer, Star Wars, Marvel DC now at
Star Trek. I even watched Lord of the Rings because
that's my fiance's favorite.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Okay, I love Lord of the Rings.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Yeah, I'm a little nerd.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yeah. Lord of the Rings are a little long, but
I like him though they are long.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
My next venture into that once I get over my store.
My Star Trek obsession is The.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Hobbit, which i've watched yet, I haven't seen that. I
just watched the first three Lord of the Rings and
then I was out.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Okay, so that's what I watch, and I got mad
at him. I was like, there's a lot of animals
that die, and why didn't you tell me? He's like, honestly,
I forgot.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was such a long time ago.
I feel like, yeah, so yeah, that's And speaking of
the space, another place I'm excited to go to when
I go to Disney. I don't know if you went
to there. It was at Epcot Space two twenty. Is
it a new ride, No, it's a restaurant. Yeah, it's
a restaurant where you actually you go inside of the
restaurant and then like it's like all like you're in space, Like.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
This guy, how do I not know about those things?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
So hard? You have to get reservations for all these
and it's so hard to get reservations at some of these,
and you have to do it like the moment they
unlock and they open reservations. I think it's like a
month or two out from whenever you go. Like I
was about one in the morning and I was getting
all of our reservations and as I was getting them,
there like gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, so and that
people were booking them and I was like, oh my god,
(16:57):
this is going fast. So I got like times that
were like fine, and some of them the time sucked,
but I just booked whatever.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Okay, Well I love that. Yeah, I cannot wait for
your trip. I'm living through you guys.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah, of course.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Okay, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back,
all right, Scooba. I want to find out what kind
of person you are? Ready for this just like a quiz.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
It's like the Team Beat Tiger Beet quizzes kind of.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
It was more like I saw this one question online,
then I kind of kept going down it.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
It's just literally the kind of person you are. If
you get stopped by a train, do you wait or
do you try and find a different way to where
you're going.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I guess it depends on where I'm going. If I'm
like in an event a rush, and I'm running to
a certain event, then I will like that. I'll look
at it like what can I really find it another
way to go? A lot of times you can't because
it's blocking everywhere you need to go. So I'd say
nine times out of ten, I just chill and wait.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
See nine times out of ten I'm looking for another way, okay.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
And I have the kids in the car, like that's
so cool, and I'm like, oh, they're true, they're loving us.
So I rolled the windows down. We watch it and
have a good time and enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
That's fun when you're just by yourself. It's honest exciting.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Even by myself. I'm like, I don't there's nothing I
can do about this. I'm just gonna sit here and wait.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Yeah. See, but that's it's teaching to us about our patients.
You have a little bit more patience. I don't have
as much patience to sit there and wait. I don't
like most of the time because like what I wish
trains did was tell me how many more you have
no idea.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
It just keeps going and going on.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
A few times that have been like I'm just gonna
wait it out. I'm like, this thing went for fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Forever, or where you go to the a three point
turn to get out of there, it stops, yes, and
then it's gone, and then you're like, ah, dang it.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
So why can't we have either spray paying the number
or like there's like a digital like it's counting down more,
three more, and then that might make that whole thing smoother.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Yeah, but how have we know I've been in that
type of technology. I don't understand this one.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
He means to be more patient. That's what it is.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Listen some days, but most days, that's where we're learning
what kind of people we are. Okay, do you keep
things stocked like paper towels, toilet paper, soaps, or even
toilet trees or do you buy only one thing at
a time.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Oh, we're a family with kids and we go to Costco,
so we're stocked, especially if it's on sale. We're like, oh,
we need that eventually, so it's just buy eighteen more
toilet paper rolls for the so we don't have to
sit there like, damn it, we're out of toilet paper rolls.
So we're always stocked on like those kind of essential items.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
See, and that's if you open up my closet, it
looks like an entire like bathroom, body, bart works.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
If you will you go in there and go shopping.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yes, yeah, I am. You would think an apocalypse is
coming at any moment in time because I have stalked
on all my favorite things, Like once I find a
favorite of something, just buy it, skincare, beauty, toilet tree, whatever. Yeah,
I'm just like, okay, keep it, keep it in stock,
so then I don't have to worry about running out
of it.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Like if you go underneath my bathroom counters, there's rows
of the same thing.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Oh damn, okay, Wow, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
So I am like stocked to the brim.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
That's like yeah Costco girl, Yeah, very Costco. And then
we also do blue Land and if you've heard of that,
use it for soap and every so. We have like
a hundred of those, which only takes up a very
small space and you know, you just put it in
the glass bottle at hot water yea, boom done.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Blulan is my favorite. That was one that I transitioned
all my cleaning stuff over to.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
We do that too cleaning stuff. We saw it on
Shark Tank like fifteen years ago and we're immediately flipped
and switched.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
They don't use any plastic, No, they're all these little
disintegrated tablets for everything.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah yeah, and they smell the soaps smell so good.
They have all kinds of like crazy ass like flavor
and flavors.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Flavors. Are you eating soap?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Don't eat the sap? Let your curse in front of
your mother.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
That's a throwback. I remember that. If you they'll put
in your mouth. Yeah, yeah, that was a throwback. Okay,
so we're both on the same Yeah. Do you buy
snacks for a trip or do you raw dog and
eat along the way?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
If it were just me, like what I did back
in the day, I would raw dog and eat and
I love to stop and do all the different snacks
at the gas stations. But with kids, they get cranky
and honoree. So we do both. We pack a snack
bag to you know, to keep us going down on
the road, and then eventually we'll stop at a gas
station and then get snacks. So we do it. We're
hybrid now.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Okay, So I wonder if that's why I am the
way that I am because I've always gotten snacks, But
then I'll still stop because the snacks that I got
or not what I want in the moment.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yes, yeah, you see something to hold you over.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yes, But I think it's because my parents did the
same thing that you guys did, because they always had
snacks for us, but we always wanted something because you're
on a roach. If you want something that's not in
the car.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I don't want just apples and cheese sticks and pirates booty,
I want some other stuff yep. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
But my fiance, on the other hand, he never they
never had snacks packed, so they would just and so
he's always like, why do we have an entire bag of.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
It's also to save money too. It's smart because you
don't have to spend as much money because you brought
snacks from home.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yes, so it also is I like to think that
that's true, but I still spend a lot of money
when i'm true.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Yes, yeah, it ends up happening.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Yeah, it was your fiance. It was your fiance, your wife.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I'm married your wife.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Your wife the same way. She do things, the same
way as you like where they'd have snacks and then yeah,
they were.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Even more conservative. They wouldn't even stop for snacks as
they're growing up. They only did whatever they brought with them,
whatever it came with them. They never stopped for anything.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
See is that funny the different ways that we were
raised or brought up trips specifically, Oh.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yeah for us, and we didn't bring our family, didn't
bring crap. We were stopping at McDonald's. It was like
we couldn't wait to get to the first stop to
go to McDonald's and get whatever, you know whatever happy meal.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
So now it's almost like you guys have done a
happy medium.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Yeah, I have definitely changing to you. She's like, we
don't even stop. We bring much of apples and stuff
and it's better, it's healthier blueberries. Well I'm like, yeah,
but like I want to get out of the car
and stretch and get gas and walk around and check
out the snacks. And she's always like when I go
into the place, they don't spend too much money. And
I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, who cares. She's yet, Well,
we're in a budget and we're trying to spend keep
the money for the trip of where we're going. All right, Fine,
that's how she gets me.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
She's still keeping you on track all these years later.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I know, yeah, she's trying. She's trying. But then I
give her those puppy dog guys and she lets me
have whatever I want.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
So it really you guys there, it does.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Do you drive in the fast lane often or never
at all? Uh?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Fast lane often? Because I'm usually like I'm going so
I would say a lot of times the fast line. Yeah,
It's very rare that I'm in the chill lane unless
I'm so early to something and then I'm just trying
to kill time. Then I'll go in that lane. But
nine times out of ten, i'm booking it. I'm trying
to get home or trying to get to where I'm
trying to go to see Eve.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
But now that counteracts your patients of the train.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
It does, But the train nothing can do about. It's
one of those like like it's like the laws of
physics or average whatever the hell it is right that
you just can't there's nothing. There's nothing you can do about.
I guess the laws of the universe. It's there. It's
stopping you. Nothing you can do. In a driving situation,
there is something you can do. You have you have
options of a slow lan or a fast lane. No
options with the train.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
But if you live in Nashville, Tennessee, specifically, they're all
the slow.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Lane, yes exactly, Yes, they're all the slow lane. Oh yeah.
Or somebody who's going who is in the slowing pops
into the fast lane and then slows down. You're like,
what are you doing? And they're so so adamant to
get in that fast lane. Like thinking that they're going
to start going fast and then they don't.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
You're like, oh, okay, listen, and I'm with you. I
I'm a fast lane rider all the way. Like, I
will do everything I can to get into the far
left lane because that is where I exist. Yeah, but
let me tell you, the worst driver in the history
of life is the person who cuts you off. Yeah,
and proceeds to go slower than they were going before.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, You're like, what is the point of this?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
So you cut me off to make my life harder?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah? Stay where you were. You were fine where you
were you were, so you were where you were supposed
to be, and I came over here. It's like a magnet.
They have to like they immediately have to get on
the left lane. It's like being so simple minded and
stay where you're supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
It is, I'm telling you, Like every time it happens,
I'm like, there's some kind of karma that is coming
back to me right now, and I try and like
remember that it's karma.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (24:44):
It has to be otherwise nothing about that situation makes
sense to me. Why would you if I happen to
get close to cutting somebody off, I'm speeding up. I'm
trying to not act as if I was cutting them off,
because that is not my intention.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
The common courtesy of the fast lane. Yes, yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
It if you get over and you go slow. I
don't understand. I don't understand the brain.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
I don't get it either. Yeah, I don't understand the
concept of why you do that.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Scuba. I was on the road the other day and
I saw a guy flash his gun at another driver.
Oh my god, So let me tell you the situation
that happened.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
That's why. That's the one thing that's scares about living
in places like this is because everyone's a damn sheriff.
They all got a gun. They're all walking around like
they're the freaking owners of the law. Stop it.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
This is exactly what happened. And you want to talk
about cutting off. So my friend was driving, thankfully because
she's a little bit more slower pace than I have.
I'm kind of the fast driver. But we're in the
far right lane and a car from the middle lane
just zips over and cuts us off. Yeah, and does
exactly what I just said. They start going slow, and
they're kind of driving erratically. They're going in between lanes
and just not not okay, notably. Well, then there's another
(25:47):
merge lane and that's coming and a car cuts them off.
Heaven forbid, this car gets cut off even though they.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Cut off us exactly.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Instant karma, instant karma. And you thought the erratic driving
was happening before it gets worse. Now he's weaving in
and out of these and sorry, I assume it's a guy.
I don't know, but I'm assuming it's a guy. And
he's weaving out of the lanes, in and out, and
he's trying not to let this car get over. The
car's trying to get over that kind of off. So
the car finally does make it over into the middle lane.
The guy continues to follow him to the middle lane.
(26:17):
Then the guy obviously realizes that there's something happening I'm sure,
tries to get in the far left lane. The guy
follows him again, but cuts him off from getting over.
Like how there wasn't a crash? Yeah, I have zero idea.
But as he like cuts him off to get into
the far left lane, the guy sticks flashy silver thing
out the window. Oh my god, and you just see
(26:37):
the other car like pull back almost like hands up,
like I'm out. I don't want to do this. I
don't know what's going on, not realizing like this car
had no idea right, like they were just trying to
merge into the lane. Yes, they cut him off, but
it was a merging situation that's always dicey. But this
guy was mad when he was one to cut us
off or richually that somebody else cut.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Him off and nothing flash is good. It's ridiculous, dude,
that's so stupid.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
I was baffled, and I was a little like, go
the other way. I don't care if it takes us longer,
like we're not going to be here whenever something go.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Because then because then you become a casualty of their stupidity, literally,
either either through the gun or the dumb ass driving
that they're doing. Then they're putting me at risk. It's
not worth it.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
It was horrible. I've never seen anything like it in
my life.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
That's so stupid.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
And there was natural traffic like it was interest It
was us three cars on the road.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yeah it was packed.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
This was at like a afternoon almost going into that
five o'clock PM traffic. Yeah, yeah, it was late, and
so I have never witnessed something like that in my life,
and now it has given me more patience. I don't
want to be waved.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
A gun at exactly.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I didn't think that was real. You hear the story.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
No, I've seen people be crazy like that all the time.
Although like hold a gun like at their at their window,
like they'll at you pass them or whatever, or as
they pass you, they like tap the gun at their window.
You're like, really, you're really gonna shoot me over driving?
Like how stupid are you? And you shouldn't have that gun?
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Then?
Speaker 1 (28:03):
If if you care about gun laws and gun safety
and all this kind of crap, clearly you don't, because
that is the most ignorant move ever.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Yeah, why would you put everybody else at risk just
because you felt a certain way?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Get over it, dude.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
I get it. Road rage, I have it. I get
frustrated with did.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
You get hit? Are you are you injured? Or are
you shut up? Keep moving?
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Go? My anger stays within me in road rage. It
doesn't don't care go to anybody else.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Like even the horn I used to I used to
like slam on the horn. People would do stupid stuff
and it would be like a toy bet beep or
like a bee, Like, what the hell, dude? Now, my
wife's like, don't use the horn anymore because people have
guns around here. Yeah, and I'm like, oh my gosh,
so stupid.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Well I have proof for you, because I watched it
in roll time. Yeah, and he was not even afraid
that he was waving it out the window.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah. Did you call nine one?
Speaker 2 (28:45):
No? I ran away.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Oh you should have been lunchbox.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I didn't want to be lunchbox in that situation. I
just wanted to be out. Yeah, you know, like go
to redrection, take us twenty minutes out of the way.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yeah, I'm done, don't.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
I don't care, because that's somebody who's clearly acting around.
And if they somehow found out that I was the
one who called the cops and we were falling, I just.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Think they're going to retaliate against you in that particular situation.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Yes, I watched them retaliating in somebody for cutting them off.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yeah, yeah, somebody else. I know.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
I know, it's so stupid, you know, like I watched
the retaliation.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
I'm out.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
I know all that to say. But we're gonna take
a quick break. We'll be right back with some more.
Hopefully you learned a lot about us we are you?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Is there like some sort of answer at the very end,
like you are a number seven? You're this?
Speaker 2 (29:26):
No, I was just talking about it.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
You learned through the answers.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Yeah, just we are as people because there's not a
right or wrong answer.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, we're just people. I don't know if
we're like labeled as something now because we answered a
certain way. No, Okay, that was kind of boring.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Do you want to be like you want me to
give you a buzzece question?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Kind of like you know, when you do those things
back in the day, you'd answer a question, you'd be
categorized as something and that was who you were.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
No, I'm not trying to add to the trauma that
people already have, you know, just you can acknowledge who
you are now. Okay, I hope you're right back. Excuse me.
Something that I've realized is that it's kind of hard
to keep a hobby as an adult.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Yeah, because we have a lot of things going on
in our lives. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Do you have things around your house that are like
graveyards of the hobbies that you've tried to pursue.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
No, because my wife usually gets her rid of stuff quick.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
She doesn't even let you go back to it. No.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Well, there's one thing I try to get back into shape,
and I bought a pair of like dumbbells, just one
set of dumbbells or like twenty five pounds, and they
just sit there in our bonus room and every once
in a while I'll go touch them, but they're just there.
And one time she kicked it with her feet. She's
like stud dumb bells. I swear I'm gonna start working
out and I don't. And so that's like the only
thing we have that. It's a graveyard of that. And
(30:42):
then I have a closet of collectibles of like all
my shoes and things that I collect.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
That's a graveyard.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Yeah, it's a grave yards sight unseen, so you don't
know about until you open the door and go, whoa,
there's a lot of stuff in there.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Do you just keep that door lock so she doesn't
open it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Yeah, yeah, I keep it locked, and I put a
lock on it so the kids don't go in there
and mess around my stuff because then that would piss
me off.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Even though it's a graveyard and they're not doing anything.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Well, then they're gonna do somewhether. They're they're gonna bend things
or break them or mess around with them. So that's
not for them.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Is there a hope one day that you sell all
of that stuff or you pass it down to them,
or like, what's your idea in your head.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
With all that, I think a little bit of passing
down and selling. One of the biggest traumatic things that
for me as like a collector that I didn't hold
on to was all the Pokemon cards that I used
to have back in the nineties. Because now I'm looking
at the value of the ones that I had that
I would sell for like fifty bucks or a Back
then it was a lot one hundred dollars for a
Charter's Art first edition, Like, well, one hundred bucks, I'll
(31:34):
take it. Now it's worth like thirty thousand dollars and
I could have paid for my kids college, or bought
a brand new car, or or put a huge chunk
towards our mortgage. And I'm like, oh my god, I
had I had close to a million dollars worth of
now worth a product, if not more that I just
got rid of at the time was a lot of money,
but now it's even more money. So now I guess
I had this like terrible, awful anxiety of not holding
(32:00):
onto something because in twenty years it could be worth
a million dollars.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
There's trauma there, there's some trauma.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Fair though, I mean once you see, but it's also
hard to predict what are the things that are going
to come back?
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Are you exactly?
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Like who would have thought that Pokemon would have taken
that turn? Now as I've gotten older and I've seen
the thing like kind of the habits that we follow,
Like I think if you collected comic books, certain comic books,
or if there's things that lasted the test of time
when they were first around, yeah, I think they often
come back. Yeah, but it's things that are a fad
(32:36):
for like a quick moment in time that I don't
think ever.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Yeah, like Tamagatchi and like furbies and Tickle Me Elmos.
It was it was a fad. Pokemon lasted for a
long period of time. I had a lull, but then
it came back because we were kids when it came
out and now we're adults that have money to That's
when when you never see these stories of people that
are fighting were Pokemon cards. It's not a bunch of
eight year olds because that's what it was when we
were kids. It was a bunch of eight year olds
and ten year old No, it was a bunch of
(33:00):
a thirty year old forty year old adults who are
now ruining it for the kids that were us, but
now that can't even enjoy Pokemon because you got a
bunch of these greedy as adults fighting in for Pokemon
cards in costco parking lots. It's disgusting.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
But would that be you? So you get out to
your coquestion if you still had your.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Cal I would never fight though. I would never fight
for it. And I didn't collect it because I liked it.
I collected it because I knew that there was a
value in it. I was never a Pokemon fan. I
was a fan of the money that it would generate.
I was a true fan of collecting sports related cards
and memorabilia, which those I have a lot of as well.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Are those making as much of a it a come
back for your buck?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
I guess they had come back in the pandemic because
people were a nostalgia nostalgic about those things, and so
I bought right at the beginning of the pandemic, I
bought a bunch of like unopened boxes of like, for example,
Tiger Woods his rookie year of golf. When that was
came out, they were like fifty to seventy five dollars
a box, and his card was worth twenty bucks. And
then on eBay, because people were broke, I was buying
(33:56):
they were so cheap. There was like ten dollars for
a box, and now they're worth like two hundred buck.
So there's a little bit of a of a you know,
of I guess equity in it. But am my thinking
is if Tiger Woods dies or yeah, something happens to him,
because he's in this crazy thing right now, but he's
the Jordan of that sport, and I would assume that
those items would go up in value. So I have
(34:17):
a lot of Tiger Wood stuff.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
So Tiger Tiger, you're watching him do all of his
crazy things, like you got.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
A accident, dead now he's still alive, damn it.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Those are your moments. And it's true. It's wild. The
just memorabilia in general that goes up when somebody passes.
Oh my gosh, yah, because like it, all of a sudden,
people feel like they're never going to be able to
attain or a touch or something like that.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
With Yeah, like Kobe was a great one. Kobe was
he was always worth a lot, but then when he died,
everything went like through the roof.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Oh so you really hated me during Easy Trivia this week,
didn't you?
Speaker 1 (34:51):
What was the question, black mom, black mambas, What the
hell is freaking Kobe Bryan? What are you kidding me?
What do you think it was?
Speaker 2 (34:58):
I thought it was Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
No, Michael Jordan's the greatest ever I know.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Well, in all fairness non sports fans.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Only know a handful. I do know. Kobe Bryant's name.
Nicknames are a lot harder for me.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Black Mamba, like come on.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
And honestly, after it was said, I was like, oh,
there was a sign that went up like somebody did
a graffiti art of.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Black after everything. Yeah. Yeah, Lebron James the King, whiny baby.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
I try, I really try hard to understand sports. For me,
I'm getting better. Yeah, I've gotten a whole lot better
than I used to be. But there was once upon
a time where I would not have even known any
of those names.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Yeah, who's the Big Hurt, the Big Herd, the Big Hurt, Hurt,
the Big Hurt?
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Oh baseball?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Oh baseball? Is that.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
I watched a movie on him? Forty two Is that him?
Speaker 1 (35:41):
No, it's Jackie Robinson.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
But forty two is Jackie Robinson? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Yeah, he's one that he's going to change baseball and allow,
you know, basically helped for black gut people to come
into the sport. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Yeah, great movie.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Yeah, forty two is amazing, Yes, and also so crazy
that I mean there's still versions of it now. Unfortunately
that people live that way and treating people with people
like that just because of the way they looked, Like,
how stupid is that?
Speaker 2 (36:02):
I know, Like you watch that movie.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Yes, it's a great movie. I think people are just
fearful of things that are different in whatever, and also
maybe they're afraid that these guys are gonna come in
and be better than them, which by the way, they
were were. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Okay, so who is the Big Hurt?
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Frank Thomas?
Speaker 2 (36:16):
We were doing baseball.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
Frank Thomas, Chicago White Sox.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
I never heard of that name. Okay, wow, Frank Thomas.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Frank Thomas, he was freaking phenomenal.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Okay, gave me this will be fun. Okay, give me
sports nicknames and I'll see if I can fee him.
So that was Frank Thomas, Thomas, the big Hurt, Big Hurt.
I'm trying. I'm gonna try and remember these.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Yeah, yeah, okay, Grandmama, can you give me sports? So
Grandmama actually basketball. He transcended the sport and became a
pop cultural icon and TV shows because of his character Grandmama.
And he was featured in I Believe Like Family Matters
for a couple episodes and they would use them a
lot on sitcoms and TV shows as Grandmama. But he
(36:56):
was a basketball player. And randomly, Homeboy followed me on
Instagram that day and I was like, my mama did yeah,
And I was like, holy crap. He followed me on Instagram,
but he knows who I am. This is crazy. He
followed me unsolicited, and so I was like, oh my god,
this is crazy. This guy is like a freaking legend
in the sport. Played basketball in the nineties. I'll even
give you another hand and play for Charlotte Hornets. Okay,
and even the Charlotte Hornets were a pop cultural phenomenon
(37:16):
because of their jerseys and the way they looked in
the nineties, they were like a thing.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Okay, and I would definitely know this name.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Maybe I don't know. I mean I would think if
you watched TV of the nineties, like Family Matters and
stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
I mean, I was pretty young it was he on
Full House.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Ever, I think he was in Full House too. I
feel he like I felt he did like a run
for a minute there because he was so popular in
the mid nineties.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Thinking of a Shack. But I don't think it's Shacked.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
No, that's said, that's Shack Diesel.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Yeah, that's an easy Superman sacked Diesel.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Superman, Superman is shot.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Yeah, Superman Shack's Grandmama.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Larry Johnson and the Charlotte Hornets.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
No noth Wow, Okay, so Grandmama is Larry Johnson. We've done.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
He would look up, he would he would dress in
a gram He should look it up. He would dress
in a Grandma outfit like he would have like the wig.
It was almost in the era of and I almost
wonder if maybe Eddie Murphy was inspired by this when
he did Nunny Professor and all that.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
Oh, I'm seeing the commercial of him.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Yeah, he's even commercials like it was a whole thing.
It was such a it was such a moment him
in that character. I don't know, I don't know the
root of it and why he did it, but it
was always this big. It was a big deal.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Wait, did he inspire what's uhy Murphy? No? No, what's
the Robin Robin Williams missed out fire?
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Maybe you could have. I don't know, who knows, because
he was such a big, huge thing in the early
nineties when all those things were coming out.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Yeah, okay, so Grandmama, Larry Johnson, Big Hurt, Fred.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Frank Thomas, Frank Fred Thomas.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Frank Thomps, the Big Hurt, Grandmama, Larry Johnson, we got
Black Mama, Kobe Bryant. Yeah, yeah, give me two more?
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Is not all? We got the top off the top
of my dome without looking it up. But I can't
think of it anymore.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Okay, See I did I did really that?
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Yeah? Yea, it's okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
It's it's honestly as if they do transcend truly pop
culture wise, like in the pop culture that I've been around,
I know them.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
There's another Superman in basketball, there's another super and it
was in the two thousands. Also played for the Atlanta
Magic and was their center.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Wait is that? Oh?
Speaker 1 (39:18):
So it wasn't Shaq.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Is he a little guy?
Speaker 1 (39:20):
No, he's a big dude. Dang is there center? So
he's big. And then he became a big deal because
then he was all over. He was playing for the Lakers.
He did the almost exact same thing Shack did Orlando
to La. Then became like a pop cultural thing and
was in like TV shows and movies and then yeah,
he's I think he's also like a big deal on
movies on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Football is my hardest one.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
I'm not gonna lie really.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Basketball is the one that I just we didn't have
any version of a basketball team in Kansas. We don't
have one here.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
Everywhere I've been, I've just never basketball is not okay.
So that's what makes it hard. Basketball is really difficult
for me. Okay, I'll just.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Tell you Dwight Howard. Dwight Howard, Oh wow, Okay.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Wait, he's not the one that's mary to a famous singer,

Dunk competition he put on a Superman cape and then
like dunked over a person. It was like a big
deal in the early two thousands.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
Okay, Superman.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
I learned a lot here. We got Larry Johnson, Frank

Speaker 1 (40:33):
Frank Thomas, Frank Thomas, h.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Dwight Howard, Yeah, is there another one I learned? No?

Original, and then Dwight Howard is like it was like
a Superman too.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
He's like paying how much to him? Because it was
like he also was Orlando and was you know, a
big deal. So it was kind of like a second
coming of Superman.
