All right, it's like we're writing in our diaries, except
we say them aloud. We call him blogs Kalin and
take it.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Away, thank you, dear blog.
Speaker 4 (00:12):
So I talked about my dad recently, and some of
the thirteen really enjoyed hearing about him.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
He's a quirky guy. He's yeah, he's had a tanning bed.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
In his He's lived so many lives that man has
stories for days. He's just a character. Like they just
don't make him like him anymore. And I have to
tell you guys about his latest obsession.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
And so my dad is not drinking right now. Love
that for him.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
But he is a very social guy, lives alone, he's single,
but like I think inherently he's an extrovert. I think
he's the reason why like the Midwest and me, like
someone will be in an elevator with a suitcase, I
start talking out, I hope you're going somewhere warrant, Like
I make friends everywhere, I think because of my dad. Anyways,
so he's not going to the bars where he has
friends everywhere.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
That's not his hangout.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
But he has a new place that is his quote
unquote cheers where he does hang out because he's not drinking,
and that is an audio and video store.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Okay, what is that.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It's like they have by a stereo.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Literally, I had no idea they still had them.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
I'm called Circuit City them.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
I think it's like a mom and pop because I
got the name from him the other day. But it's
in Michigan, and he said they are heavy into doing
system design and installation as well as whole house smart
systems in not only audio and video, but lighting as
well as smart blinds and deck shading. Anyways, I think
he works for them, but the amount that he goes
to this store is like abnormal, Like he has and
(01:41):
by the way, he's obsessed with TVs, so like this
is his thing, like technology TVs.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
He has a TV in every single room.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
We're talking bathrooms, we're talking kitchens, we're talking upstairs down
so we're talking in the garage. And what he likes
to do is have the same show on everywhere because
he can't sit still. And you guys know that he
has inside tennis shoes for his inside you know, his
side work. So he's always tinkering around, but there's always
a TV on and.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
It always has the same show, so he can watch
it wherever he goes.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I think he's my idol, to be honest, Like I think,
like I want to yeah, like I want to beat him.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yeah, I mean, you guys would have a time.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
So anyway, so he goes to the store and I
just I can't help but wonder if the people that
work there shout out Parker his salesperson, or maybe a
little bit annoyed. Does yes always oh no.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
He probably love to see him coming.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
But he but but he wants to learn as well,
so they are constantly having to like teach him how
things work, show him how things work. He says that
they bring him into a special room where they put
on you know, the best of the best sound and
the best of the best TV, and they'll turn it
up and let him like listen.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
This is his new hyper fixation. And you know, we're
glad it's it's not bad for him. But I just
it's just hysterical to me. Like he told me yesterday,
they're having a happy hour soon and he's gonna he's
death's like what he's looking forward to is a happy
hour at his his little technology store's like listen, and
he's buying stuff he doesn't need, which I don't know
(03:06):
if that's great, but he it's.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Just your inheritance going into this place. But it's fine.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Yeah, no, that's okay. I mean, whatever keeps him going,
whatever keeps them happy. But these are his new friends.
He goes there almost every day. He hangs out with them.
Shout out Parker. And this is his nude cheers. And
I just was curious if anyone else had like a
non bar. This is my cheers place, like a place
that you just go. Everybody knows your name, and that's
your comfort or your obsession. But I have to talk
(03:32):
to the people that work there because I do worry
that they're getting a little sick of him.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I love that for him.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Someone said's very much a thin custom audio video. It's
what I do for a living. No, I had a
guy who like came and put the TV on the wall,
but I didn't think he had a showroom. And that's
what he does too. He does all the same things
you just mentioned. But like I didn't know I could
go hang on in the guys, you know, like.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Dan and no, yeah, and like my dad is very
like I don't care, Like he's very upset, like if
I don't have the best like sound system for TV.
He watches like the Boom Boom Pole movies. He wants
it boom yeah. And I'm like, he'll be like listening
to this sound guy.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Keeping the Fast and Furious franchise alive because it makes
this you know, Dolby Surround pop or whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
The thing is now.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, he's into that. He has like testers for the audio.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
He bought a whole new laptop so that he could
run it all from one place. Obviously, Like, I don't know,
he's he's losing his mind, but shout out to those
people who are babysitting my dad every day.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
It reminds me of my great uncle in Iowa. He
passed away. My dad's uncle. Guy's the hell of a guy.
His name was Cliff Cliff Quake and Bush was his name.
Hell of a guy. He I never met his wife,
but she had Alzheimer's and dementia, and he was the
guy I told the story before, But he was the
guy that for years and years and years went to
her assistance. She need assistant living because she was really advanced.
(04:45):
Every single day he'd go and like dresser and comb
her hair and do the whole thing. And she had
no idea who he was, but every single day until
she died, he would go visit her. Anyway, The reason
I bring him up, in addition to him being a
hell of a guy, is that he would go to
a hardware store every day, every morning and drink coffee
with them every single day.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Okay, so this is like a thing.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yeah, Yeah, he'd every single morning he'd go have coffee
with the guys at the hardware store and sometimes he'd
buy stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
He liked to do glass etching.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
He had like a glass etching thing in back of
his house, so like, yeah, he'd go in there and
buy like stuff. And yeah, every day coffee with Cliff
every single day.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
That's really sweet, Mikerid. It used to be that it
used to be home depot.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
He was considering getting a job there, but now now
we've moved on.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
But that's really sweet.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, I hear about these things. What was another one?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I remember growing up, We used to go to McDonald's
on Saturday morning for breakfast, and we would drive there
and in the corner were like six or seven men,
and they were the guys that owned the newspaper, the
television stations, and the radio stations.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
The most powerful, probably the most powerful.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Men in the city would go to McDonald's every Saturday
morning and they'd sit around this table and nobody really knew,
but like our family was in the business. But like,
if you ever really wanted to get something done, like
you should have gone to the McDonald's, you know, and
pulled up because all these dudes are just sitting around
and they were just normal dudes drinking their you know,
dollar coffee and getting it refilled all morning and just
(06:06):
suiting the breeze with each other.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I kind of hope for that someday.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I hope someday when I'm really old, that like I
can live on some kind of compound with my buddies
and like, you know, at five o'clock every day we're
you know, drinking beers in the driveway or something.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Oh that's my dream as a dream, my friends and
I fantasize about it every day.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Well, that was my grandfather.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
My grandfather had the beer fridge or he had the
beer had the caaggerator in his garage and if the
garage door was open, as it was every day around
five o'clock. That meant any of the neighbors could come
and into the garage, open the thing where the frosted
glasses were, and pour yourself a beer and bring your
folding chair and sit. And some days he'd open the
(06:44):
garage but he couldn't hang out, so they'd hang out
and his driveway drinking his beer.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
That's gonna make me want to move to a neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Like seriously, same because it's time, guys.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
No problem is there would be days and I guess
you just keep the garage door close, but there would
be I'd be like, I don't feel like it.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, that wouldn't be your house. Maybe your neighbor's house.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah, I go over there.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, and I'll even send you over the beer, but
I need someone else to host it. But like I
want to attend sometimes I do.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
I miss like he's from the mid that was in
the Midwest, right, because I feel like hanging out a
garage is super is super Midwest thing, you know.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I have, Like I had birthday parties in the garage
that we still do it a second birthday.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I love you in the crush everybody loved this guy,
though everyone loved Fritz. Oh yeah, shout out to all
the men who are elder men and myself. You coming
out all the elder men in my family.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
They're cool, far.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
More social than I am. I don't know where. I
don't know where this happened to me. My grandfather was
the mayor, and I'm like hi, and then I keep
my head down and hide from human beings.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I don't know where that is.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
That's okay, Yeah, anyway, shout out to them waiting by
the phone. I got this keyword too after New Harry
styles me music. Oh look at this, it's almost like
I planned it. Hear this song is Sitney, Australia. The
