Speaker 1 (00:04):
Why are you still speaking that that should not have
made it to the rest of us.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
This is inside thoughts or.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Chuck Chuck check. Welcome back to Inside Thoughts. Hope you're
having a good start to your week. Man. We're back
in it NBA Finals going on. It's happening right here Indianapolis.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Game three tomorrow at Gabe's bridge Fieldhouse. The halibad versus
Al Shaida.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Those are two of the best nicknames I've ever heard.
And it's so funny because like, you can't actually called
him that in the real world. That only exists on
the Internet, like the I think ESPN was trying to
give Tyrese Halibert and a nickname. They called him like
the Moment or something, you know, because he's clutched in
(00:59):
the moment. Everybody was like, naw, bro, that's the Haliban.
He already got his nickname. But he can't say that,
Like you can't, you know, can't be at work talking
to your coworkers around the water cooler. Be like see
Haliburton Game one, the Haliban strikes in Oklahoma City. You
(01:21):
can't do that. You're going to hr you know what
I mean. But it's a great nickname and I wish,
I wish that we could all say it out loud,
but you know you can't because liam's the rules. But
I think that's you know, very American, are very mature
(01:43):
of us to you know, take something that harmed us
once upon a time and now we can joke about it.
Or maybe it's disrespectful. I don't know. I just think
it's funny because I have the sense of humor of
a thirteen year old. But you know, what are you
gonna do? I actually I saw and uh okay see
getting out of their hotel getting on the bus to
(02:04):
go practice today. I was walking outside the radio station
just to you know, get some air, because it doesn't
matter what the weather is outside, the air conditioning in
a corporate office is always going to be way too high.
And I'm bald, so like if I'm in a room
and there's a lot of AC coming through the vent,
it's just hitting the top of my head. I feel
(02:26):
like I'm getting a cold, feel like I'm getting hypothermia,
because it just it hits the top of my head,
like right where my bald spot is, you know, the
part that I don't actually need to shave, and it
just goes right down my spine. My my fingers start
turning purple, toes start going dumb.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Hey, do you have a circulation problem?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
No, the air conditioning is too high, man. But anyway,
I went outside at once just to walk around, feel
some sunshine. It's beautiful in Indy, and right around the
corner Intercontinental Hotel there's a bunch of busses lined up
and people were like standing outside, just wait, and so,
you know, I walk out and I was like, Hey,
(03:02):
what's everybody waiting on? And this guy was like, oh,
the Pacers are about to walk out. I was like, okay.
Then I walked away and I was like, dude, why
would the Pacers be at a hotel five minutes away
from there? They have houses and condos here. Man, that's
not the Pacers. So I'm like, okay, okay, So he's
gonna walk out here or maybe you know, he's gonna
(03:26):
be like, whoever the fever we're playing. But I assume
just by the sheer number of people they were outside waiting,
it was okay. See not you know, not trying to besagynistic.
I'm just saying viewership wise, you know, more people are
watching the NBA, and I still want to go to
a Fever game. I got I gotta see I gotta
(03:46):
see steph Curry, Stephanie Curry. That's yeah, go with that one.
Nicked Stephanie Curry. Kaitlin Clark is incredible. Anyway, So we're
standing outside and a bunch of these people staying in
the back, you know, they're they're they're not too you know,
tuned into what could possibly be going on because it's
(04:09):
the middle of the day and they're standing outside a
hotel waiting for some people that they think are gonna
walk out to walk out. So everybody's like, yeah, let's
go Pacers, and some you know bench players that don't
even you know, get their face put into two k
or walking out first with some of the coaches, and
everybody's like, yeah, Pacers, whoooo and you can see like
(04:32):
the OKAC players are like looking confused. They're like, are
they like trying to get in our heads in a
very nice Midwestern way or do they not know who
we are? Everybody's like, yeah, Pacers, And then you know,
little by little players keep walking out, and then Chet
Holmgren walks out looking eight feet tall, and it clicked
(04:52):
with you know, the back part of the crowd and
everybody's like, well, it's not the Pacers woo. It was.
It was pretty funny. And then you know like uh,
Jaywien Williams and uh Shay walk out and it was
interesting to see grown men pushing other grown men out
(05:18):
of the way, like jockeying for position to try and
get them to sign an autograph. Like there was this
guy he was like at the front of the hotel.
Shay walks out and uh. This guy's got like uh Shay,
uh Okay see jersey like on a picture frame and
he was like holding it out to him to sign.
(05:39):
The guy was wearing a Brewer's hat. Bro, you were
not an Okac fan. If you got a Brewer's hat on,
some's not adding up you like you white Milwaukee bro.
You had the Bucks and he was old. I was like,
I know your dad told you about Kareem. You might
watched some games as a kid. You're a Bucks fan.
You have Giannis, don't be a I gotta I gotta
(06:01):
get this autograph. What are you gonna do with it? Oh,
I've I gotta get it for my son. You don't
have any children. You're out here in the middle of
a workday in shorts. This wasn't like, Oh, my office
is right down the street.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I'll just pop out and get my son this.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Autograph that you're an eBay seller, buddy, put the fries
in the bag, go get a job. I like that.
I can say that now I have a job. Maybe
not for longer if I keep making fun of unemployed people.
That's not fair of me. It's not nice. Anyway, saw
them walk out. That was cool. So Game three, I'm hoping,
you know, I'm hoping Pacers win this first one. I
(06:39):
think they're gonna split, uh, because I think it's gonna
go seven. I think they're gonna split this homestand I
just I hope the Pacers get the first one, just
because the city just goes wild in good sports towns
when you win that first home game of a championship,
Like it's it's crazy, Like whenever the Cavs would win
(07:02):
a home game, the place would just go bananas. Like
there's just a fun energy when you're walking downtown, like
everybody's in a good mood. They're all wearing whatever sports
team it is, and everybody's like, hey go Pacers, and
you're like, yeah, go Pacers. It just it brings the
(07:23):
city together. So I'm hoping that, you know, it's supposed
to be, you know, kind of rainy the next couple
of days. I'm hoping that even through the rain, if
the Pacers win, everybody in Indianapolis will still still be
in a good mood, be nice to each other. Hopefully
the howiband can come through. Oh man, I had a wild,
(07:46):
wild weekend living in suburbia. It was crazy. Me and
Ames stop by this work event on Saturday and we
were kind of talking about, you know, what, what's our
grocery store going to be? And we like, we're going
do we do Sam's Club? Do we do Costco? We
need to start buying stuff in bulk, save some money.
(08:07):
We're smack dab in the middle of Costco and Sam's Club.
They were both like ten minutes away from us. It
was like, Okay, what are we gonna do? And my
boss is a huge Costco guy, so he was like, oh,
you gotta go Costco. I was like, okay, you know,
kind of think about it. And then like three other
people walked up and my boss goes, hey, they're they're
thinking about being Costco members, and they all came up
(08:29):
to me and shook my hand and then pulled out
their executive membership card. It was the weirdest I've never
experienced anything like it. It was weird, like I've never
done anything in my wife that people like came up
to me and shook my hand and then also showed
we're one of you. Like it felt like I was
joining a cult. It was weird. It happened five different times,
(08:52):
so I'm like, okay, we obviously got to go to Costco.
Something's going on. I didn't understand the Costco guys, you know,
like the big booms were just Costco guys. We sit
here and eat cookies all day.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Boom boom.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Those guys they got on WWE because of Costco. I
didn't understand that. I was like, those people are out
of their minds. Me names walked into Costco. I get
it now. All the food looks good. They got like,
we've been doing chuck roast. You know, you just sear
it and then throw it in a pot, throw some
veggies in there, leave it for a few hours. Been
(09:28):
doing that on that kind of kick when we want
something hardy. They had two huge edge chuck roast for
the price of one. It was insane. They're losing money.
How are they doing this? Then we're like going around
checking all the price everything. We didn't get anything the
first time we went, cause we went to Costco on Saturday,
(09:52):
big rookie mistake, Like we were just going to check
it out and.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
They're like, oh, maybe we get something.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
The line was out the door of people trying to
get out, like when we were going to sign up.
We were standing there like waiting to get her membership
cards and everything. I saw people walking with their carts
after checking out, looking like they had just got done
running a marathon. This one lady like finally saw the door.
She was on her way out and she sighed, like
(10:18):
tilted her head back and went look like she just
got back from war. And I'm like this place is ridiculous, Like, well,
what's going on? And then we go around, we look
and the checkout line was literally like half halfway in
the store. I was like, Okay, put all this stuff back,
we'll come back later. Actually, we're going to go to
Costco tonight and really really get in there. It's crazy
(10:41):
just the amount of stuff they have, Like you can
buy chuck roast, you can buy cat food, you can
buy a computer. They have bidets and sinks in there
too close. Nothing makes sense. But I'm a big Costco
guy now, so I'm uh, I'm happy with that. I
(11:02):
feel a part of something that's greater than myself. I
understand the Costco guys now. Boom that almost like came
out of my chest when we walked in there, givin
five booms. I'm seriously, I went, like, the last two
three years, hover long people have been knowing about those people.
I thought those were some of the stupidest people on
(11:24):
the planet. I was so wrong. I was so wrong.
I apologize to the Costco people. They have no idea
who I am. But of course, you know, we get
out of Costco. It's Saturday, still putting the apartment together.
Ames is like, all right, went to Costco, so you
know what we got to do now, and I'm like,
go home. She was like, no, We're going to Ikea.
(11:49):
I hate Ikea so much like going from Costco to Ikea.
Ikea is like claustrophobia. Claustrophobia on ten you can't see
the exit. There's no way to get out. They have
like shortcuts because there's like twenty six different places you
can walk through. It feels like you're standing in line
(12:09):
for like an amusement park ride. When they're trying like decorate.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Like, hey, did this look really look like the inside
of Hogwarts?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
But it's just some like little kid bedroom. It's terrible.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Hey, do you want these spoons?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
No? I want to get out of here. I can't
see outside, and you're telling me we're only on stage
three and there's twenty six more of these to go.
I want to go home. I hate I hate Ikia
so much, and everything's in Swedish too. Do you want
the florca? What's a florka? It's a fork? Do you
want one? No? I want to get the fork out
(12:44):
of here. Dude. I'm sorry I didn't feel good saying that,
but seriously, like, get me out of this Hinga Dinga
durgon ass place. The Swiss are ridiculous people. I'll stick
with your cheese, okay, anything else. I'm not going back
in Ikea. Any place it sells mattress and meatballs is
a bad place to be. I don't want to be
in there. You can't see out. I feel like a
(13:08):
ratdom aze. It's all these people just going, hey, honey,
what do you think about this kitchen? Said, I want
to kill myself. Please let me out of this place.
It's fine, though, got the apartment all set up, got
everything good. She needed a couple more a couple more bits,
and then we'll be good. It'll be nice. Have been
(13:29):
having to do like all the onboarding stuff for my
new job, you.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Know, like could you enter your Social Security in another
time to another website.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I'm pretty sure you guys could steal my identity if
you want to. Have typed this thing in so many times,
I'm not even sure if these links are real. I'm
just typing it in muscle memory at this point. But
there was something that happened where it was like the
HR person came in and was like, hey, can you
walk in to like everify and check this the somethings
(14:01):
you know mismatch and I was like, yeah, okay, no problem.
Couldn't figure it out because it goes through the Department
of Homeland Security. So I start getting nervous. I'm like,
what what did I do wrong? What did I joke
about the how band too much? You guys are like
listening to my phone, like we can't really understand what
he's saying. But we heard a band, so they're coming.
(14:23):
But no, it was like something I had to walk
in and change. But they ask you to get in
to their website. They ask you questions like they have
your whole life, every transaction that you've ever made in
this database. It's terrifying. But to log in, instead of
like creating an account typing in your social you have
(14:44):
to prove that it's you. They're asking me all these
financial questions, like did you take out an auto loan
in twenty twenty three? And I was like yeah, and
then it kept going down the list. Did you take
out a student loan in two thousand and eleven? And
I was like yeah, And they're like from which one
(15:04):
of these things? And it was like going back to school.
I was like, ah, two of these answers seem both right,
but I'm not sure. I couldn't log into my own thing,
so I had to like call them up explain the
whole situation. They were fine, they you know, clear it up.
The lady I was talking to is real nice, but
they had a section I had to go walk into
(15:24):
the Social Security website to like go around the Department
of Homeland Security and Social Security website once you walk in,
has all of your taxable dollars that you've like, you know,
told the government that the money you've made. So I
got to see how much money I've made since twenty
(15:48):
and thirteen. Granted I've been unemployed twice for a stretch,
also didn't make that much money for the most part.
And honestly, I think my aunt was messing up my taxes.
(16:08):
At some point I was looking. I was like, that
can't be right, right, No, antone's smart, she ain't messed
up by taxes. But I just like, I was looking
at it, and I added up how much money I've
made in my life. My career earnings not good. Some
of you listening have made it in a year. I
texted the number to my little sister and she's like, yikes,
(16:31):
you've basically wasted your working career. And I was like, yeah,
I know, I need to get better, need to hit
the lottery or something. But seeing like my lifetime earnings,
it was terrible. I see those like ESPN graphics all
the time where it's like Mike Trout's lifetime earnings, It's
like four billion dollars and you're like, oh, that's cool.
I wonder what mine is going to Social Security? Jesus
(16:54):
what it's it hurts, I'd go outside walk around. It
was tough, but then I got to feel a little
bit better because I walked on to Twitter dot com
and I saw Elon and Trump having a having a breakout. Man,
(17:15):
I didn't even like I I have tried to not
pay attention as much of that stuff as possible, but
every once in a while, the funny stuff makes it
to Twitter and I'll get to see it, and you know,
Elon saying that Trump's pedophile, Trump saying that Ewon's you know,
stupid for walking out with a black eye, and the
(17:35):
interview it was funny, but like the people that were
talking about it, people are taking sides. Now, you know,
it is fully Kendrick versus Drake for people that wear
hey dudes, Like I was reading this article about it
and said, according to reports, the bromance they keep calling
they keep calling it a bromance, which is weird. Started
to end when Trump wouldn't show Elon the Pentagon's plan
(17:58):
for a possible war with China. Quote. Everything changed from
that moment on end. Quote. That's a quote people are
writing think pieces about this, and it's hilarious because first
of all, obviously don't show Elon the plans for a
war on China, you know, like, I know, we gotta
have all those plans. But Elon's like sniffing coke, shooting
(18:18):
up Kennemy, whatever he's doing. He's high. We've seen him
be high, and he likes to be liked, So that's
he's gonna get on Joe Rogan's podcast and be like,
do you want to know how we're gonna attack China?
It's dude, You're gonna start World War three because you
want to be cool. Got to relax, man. I do
feel bad for the people that like both of them,
(18:41):
Trump and Elon, and they like have to choose, you
know what I mean, because I grew up with divorced parents.
It's not fun, you know, choosing your favorite. I get it, man,
it stinks what I think happened or I don't know,
Like what do I know? What I think happened is
Trump needed Elon's money to win, and Elon wanted to
(19:04):
be cool, you know what I mean? And then when
Elon realized he wasn't cool, and they were just messing
around with him. He got his feelings hurt. And I
get it, man, Like, there was one time when I
was a kid, I wanted to be cool with all
the you know, the neighborhood kids. They were older than me.
I'd always asked, you know, play football with him or
I was like I could play. I'm good, I'm fast,
(19:26):
and they would never let me play. And then one time,
one time they were like, all right, we'll let you play,
but you got to prove to us that you can
catch pass. And I was like, oh, I got that.
I've been playing with my dad in the backyard. This
is easy. And the one one big kid was like,
all right, go along. I started going and he goes farther.
(19:50):
I kept going, he goes farther, Keep going, and there
was this little hill. As soon as I got over
the hill, I heard him start laughing. They were never
gonna throw me that pass. That was the first time
I fell for that. And it hurts because you're like,
I would to be cool, I want to play with them.
I get it. Elon, Oh man, I just it's weird,
(20:15):
you know, like this this is the timeline that we're
living in, but it's also hilarious, like Musk is acting
like he's the good guy. Now he's like Trump saw
on Epstein's list, He's gonna ruin the country. Hey, bro,
you liked him a couple of weeks ago. That's the
same energy as what a girl breaks up with you
and she's.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Like, yeah, you always had a little dick.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
It's the same thing. So like, no, no, no, until this happened,
you like me, Yes you did. I remember. It's bad
on all sides, man, But it's also very hilarious for
people who haven't aligned their personality with wiking Trump or Elon.
So good for most of us, you know what I mean?
Everybody else? What do we learn? We don't idolize famous people.
(21:04):
They're not our friends, especially the super rich ones. Okay,
but don't you really like Lebron James. That's different. I'm
not a hypocrite. See how I stuttered when I tried
to say that. My mind knew I was lying. I
just like Lebron James. All right, it's time for your
headline of the week. The TSA had to clarify this
(21:29):
week that a Costco membership card cannot be used to
go through airport security. First of all, I joined Costco
last week. Now, all of a sudden, in my algorithm,
I'm getting nothing but Costco content. The TSA had to
post a reminder on Facebook, this is crazy TSA. You
know what that stands for. They secure airports, That's what
(21:51):
it is. And they've had enough people come through and be.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Like, yeah, I'm going down to Miami for the weekend.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Where's your ID?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Don't have that, but here's my Costco card.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Do you know how many people had to do that
for them to make an announcement? They said, quote, we
love hot dogs and rotisserie chickens as much as the
next person, but please stop telling people their Costco card
counts as a real ID, because it absolutely does not end.
Quote how many people have done that? And how many
people they like, they saw somebody in line like nudging
(22:24):
the other guy. He's like some guy inline freaking out,
like oh I forgot my driver's license in the car
and I miss my flight. Some guy like nudge him, like, hey, bro,
it's fine, just use your Costco card. Do you have
the executive membership? Yeah, they'll let you right in. And
it's hilarious because, like I was saying, after I got
congratulated for being a member of Costco. Everybody shook my hand.
(22:48):
I believe it that these people think like this, This
tracks Costco members one hundred percent would think that that
card would get them in anywhere. And you know what,
after walking through Costco and see all the savings, I'm
gonna start flashing my car to authorities and see where
it gets me. You know what I mean? See what
I get like, I get.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Pulled over thirty and don't I pulled you over?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
No, But I'm sure this will clear it right up.
Pull out my member card and.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Be like, ooh only a gold member.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, you're going to jail, buddy. Oh man, all right,
I gotta get out of here, gotta go get some food,
gotta go to Costco boom. I don't even know if
I'm doing that right. There's somebody who's been listening this
whole time who's.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Like, you're not doing the Costco boom right, dude.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
I'm sorry, I'm still new. Appreciate you listening. I will
catch you next week. KS call money for money for
money for Co money
Why are you still speaking that that should not have
made it to the rest of us.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
This is inside thoughts or.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Chuck Chuck check. Welcome back to Inside Thoughts. Hope you're
having a good start to your week. Man. We're back
in it NBA Finals going on. It's happening right here Indianapolis.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Game three tomorrow at Gabe's bridge Fieldhouse. The halibad versus
Al Shaida.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Those are two of the best nicknames I've ever heard.
And it's so funny because like, you can't actually called
him that in the real world. That only exists on
the Internet, like the I think ESPN was trying to
give Tyrese Halibert and a nickname. They called him like
the Moment or something, you know, because he's clutched in
(00:59):
the moment. Everybody was like, naw, bro, that's the Haliban.
He already got his nickname. But he can't say that,
Like you can't, you know, can't be at work talking
to your coworkers around the water cooler. Be like see
Haliburton Game one, the Haliban strikes in Oklahoma City. You
(01:21):
can't do that. You're going to hr you know what
I mean. But it's a great nickname and I wish,
I wish that we could all say it out loud,
but you know you can't because liam's the rules. But
I think that's you know, very American, are very mature
(01:43):
of us to you know, take something that harmed us
once upon a time and now we can joke about it.
Or maybe it's disrespectful. I don't know. I just think
it's funny because I have the sense of humor of
a thirteen year old. But you know, what are you
gonna do? I actually I saw and uh okay see
getting out of their hotel getting on the bus to
(02:04):
go practice today. I was walking outside the radio station
just to you know, get some air, because it doesn't
matter what the weather is outside, the air conditioning in
a corporate office is always going to be way too high.
And I'm bald, so like if I'm in a room
and there's a lot of AC coming through the vent,
it's just hitting the top of my head. I feel
(02:26):
like I'm getting a cold, feel like I'm getting hypothermia,
because it just it hits the top of my head,
like right where my bald spot is, you know, the
part that I don't actually need to shave, and it
just goes right down my spine. My my fingers start
turning purple, toes start going dumb.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Hey, do you have a circulation problem?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
No, the air conditioning is too high, man. But anyway,
I went outside at once just to walk around, feel
some sunshine. It's beautiful in Indy, and right around the
corner Intercontinental Hotel there's a bunch of busses lined up
and people were like standing outside, just wait, and so,
you know, I walk out and I was like, Hey,
(03:02):
what's everybody waiting on? And this guy was like, oh,
the Pacers are about to walk out. I was like, okay.
Then I walked away and I was like, dude, why
would the Pacers be at a hotel five minutes away
from there? They have houses and condos here. Man, that's
not the Pacers. So I'm like, okay, okay, So he's
gonna walk out here or maybe you know, he's gonna
(03:26):
be like, whoever the fever we're playing. But I assume
just by the sheer number of people they were outside waiting,
it was okay. See not you know, not trying to besagynistic.
I'm just saying viewership wise, you know, more people are
watching the NBA, and I still want to go to
a Fever game. I got I gotta see I gotta
(03:46):
see steph Curry, Stephanie Curry. That's yeah, go with that one.
Nicked Stephanie Curry. Kaitlin Clark is incredible. Anyway, So we're
standing outside and a bunch of these people staying in
the back, you know, they're they're they're not too you know,
tuned into what could possibly be going on because it's
(04:09):
the middle of the day and they're standing outside a
hotel waiting for some people that they think are gonna
walk out to walk out. So everybody's like, yeah, let's
go Pacers, and some you know bench players that don't
even you know, get their face put into two k
or walking out first with some of the coaches, and
everybody's like, yeah, Pacers, whoooo and you can see like
(04:32):
the OKAC players are like looking confused. They're like, are
they like trying to get in our heads in a
very nice Midwestern way or do they not know who
we are? Everybody's like, yeah, Pacers, And then you know,
little by little players keep walking out, and then Chet
Holmgren walks out looking eight feet tall, and it clicked
(04:52):
with you know, the back part of the crowd and
everybody's like, well, it's not the Pacers woo. It was.
It was pretty funny. And then you know like uh,
Jaywien Williams and uh Shay walk out and it was
interesting to see grown men pushing other grown men out
(05:18):
of the way, like jockeying for position to try and
get them to sign an autograph. Like there was this
guy he was like at the front of the hotel.
Shay walks out and uh. This guy's got like uh Shay,
uh Okay see jersey like on a picture frame and
he was like holding it out to him to sign.
(05:39):
The guy was wearing a Brewer's hat. Bro, you were
not an Okac fan. If you got a Brewer's hat on,
some's not adding up you like you white Milwaukee bro.
You had the Bucks and he was old. I was like,
I know your dad told you about Kareem. You might
watched some games as a kid. You're a Bucks fan.
You have Giannis, don't be a I gotta I gotta
(06:01):
get this autograph. What are you gonna do with it? Oh,
I've I gotta get it for my son. You don't
have any children. You're out here in the middle of
a workday in shorts. This wasn't like, Oh, my office
is right down the street.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I'll just pop out and get my son this.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Autograph that you're an eBay seller, buddy, put the fries
in the bag, go get a job. I like that.
I can say that now I have a job. Maybe
not for longer if I keep making fun of unemployed people.
That's not fair of me. It's not nice. Anyway, saw
them walk out. That was cool. So Game three, I'm hoping,
you know, I'm hoping Pacers win this first one. I
(06:39):
think they're gonna split, uh, because I think it's gonna
go seven. I think they're gonna split this homestand I
just I hope the Pacers get the first one, just
because the city just goes wild in good sports towns
when you win that first home game of a championship,
Like it's it's crazy, Like whenever the Cavs would win
(07:02):
a home game, the place would just go bananas. Like
there's just a fun energy when you're walking downtown, like
everybody's in a good mood. They're all wearing whatever sports
team it is, and everybody's like, hey go Pacers, and
you're like, yeah, go Pacers. It just it brings the
(07:23):
city together. So I'm hoping that, you know, it's supposed
to be, you know, kind of rainy the next couple
of days. I'm hoping that even through the rain, if
the Pacers win, everybody in Indianapolis will still still be
in a good mood, be nice to each other. Hopefully
the howiband can come through. Oh man, I had a wild,
(07:46):
wild weekend living in suburbia. It was crazy. Me and
Ames stop by this work event on Saturday and we
were kind of talking about, you know, what, what's our
grocery store going to be? And we like, we're going
do we do Sam's Club? Do we do Costco? We
need to start buying stuff in bulk, save some money.
(08:07):
We're smack dab in the middle of Costco and Sam's Club.
They were both like ten minutes away from us. It
was like, Okay, what are we gonna do? And my
boss is a huge Costco guy, so he was like, oh,
you gotta go Costco. I was like, okay, you know,
kind of think about it. And then like three other
people walked up and my boss goes, hey, they're they're
thinking about being Costco members, and they all came up
(08:29):
to me and shook my hand and then pulled out
their executive membership card. It was the weirdest I've never
experienced anything like it. It was weird, like I've never
done anything in my wife that people like came up
to me and shook my hand and then also showed
we're one of you. Like it felt like I was
joining a cult. It was weird. It happened five different times,
(08:52):
so I'm like, okay, we obviously got to go to Costco.
Something's going on. I didn't understand the Costco guys, you know,
like the big booms were just Costco guys. We sit
here and eat cookies all day.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Boom boom.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Those guys they got on WWE because of Costco. I
didn't understand that. I was like, those people are out
of their minds. Me names walked into Costco. I get
it now. All the food looks good. They got like,
we've been doing chuck roast. You know, you just sear
it and then throw it in a pot, throw some
veggies in there, leave it for a few hours. Been
(09:28):
doing that on that kind of kick when we want
something hardy. They had two huge edge chuck roast for
the price of one. It was insane. They're losing money.
How are they doing this? Then we're like going around
checking all the price everything. We didn't get anything the
first time we went, cause we went to Costco on Saturday,
(09:52):
big rookie mistake, Like we were just going to check
it out and.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
They're like, oh, maybe we get something.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
The line was out the door of people trying to
get out, like when we were going to sign up.
We were standing there like waiting to get her membership
cards and everything. I saw people walking with their carts
after checking out, looking like they had just got done
running a marathon. This one lady like finally saw the door.
She was on her way out and she sighed, like
(10:18):
tilted her head back and went look like she just
got back from war. And I'm like this place is ridiculous, Like, well,
what's going on? And then we go around, we look
and the checkout line was literally like half halfway in
the store. I was like, Okay, put all this stuff back,
we'll come back later. Actually, we're going to go to
Costco tonight and really really get in there. It's crazy
(10:41):
just the amount of stuff they have, Like you can
buy chuck roast, you can buy cat food, you can
buy a computer. They have bidets and sinks in there
too close. Nothing makes sense. But I'm a big Costco
guy now, so I'm uh, I'm happy with that. I
(11:02):
feel a part of something that's greater than myself. I
understand the Costco guys now. Boom that almost like came
out of my chest when we walked in there, givin
five booms. I'm seriously, I went, like, the last two
three years, hover long people have been knowing about those people.
I thought those were some of the stupidest people on
(11:24):
the planet. I was so wrong. I was so wrong.
I apologize to the Costco people. They have no idea
who I am. But of course, you know, we get
out of Costco. It's Saturday, still putting the apartment together.
Ames is like, all right, went to Costco, so you
know what we got to do now, and I'm like,
go home. She was like, no, We're going to Ikea.
(11:49):
I hate Ikea so much like going from Costco to Ikea.
Ikea is like claustrophobia. Claustrophobia on ten you can't see
the exit. There's no way to get out. They have
like shortcuts because there's like twenty six different places you
can walk through. It feels like you're standing in line
(12:09):
for like an amusement park ride. When they're trying like decorate.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Like, hey, did this look really look like the inside
of Hogwarts?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
But it's just some like little kid bedroom. It's terrible.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Hey, do you want these spoons?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
No? I want to get out of here. I can't
see outside, and you're telling me we're only on stage
three and there's twenty six more of these to go.
I want to go home. I hate I hate Ikia
so much, and everything's in Swedish too. Do you want
the florca? What's a florka? It's a fork? Do you
want one? No? I want to get the fork out
(12:44):
of here. Dude. I'm sorry I didn't feel good saying that,
but seriously, like, get me out of this Hinga Dinga
durgon ass place. The Swiss are ridiculous people. I'll stick
with your cheese, okay, anything else. I'm not going back
in Ikea. Any place it sells mattress and meatballs is
a bad place to be. I don't want to be
in there. You can't see out. I feel like a
(13:08):
ratdom aze. It's all these people just going, hey, honey,
what do you think about this kitchen? Said, I want
to kill myself. Please let me out of this place.
It's fine, though, got the apartment all set up, got
everything good. She needed a couple more a couple more bits,
and then we'll be good. It'll be nice. Have been
(13:29):
having to do like all the onboarding stuff for my
new job, you.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Know, like could you enter your Social Security in another
time to another website.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I'm pretty sure you guys could steal my identity if
you want to. Have typed this thing in so many times,
I'm not even sure if these links are real. I'm
just typing it in muscle memory at this point. But
there was something that happened where it was like the
HR person came in and was like, hey, can you
walk in to like everify and check this the somethings
(14:01):
you know mismatch and I was like, yeah, okay, no problem.
Couldn't figure it out because it goes through the Department
of Homeland Security. So I start getting nervous. I'm like,
what what did I do wrong? What did I joke
about the how band too much? You guys are like
listening to my phone, like we can't really understand what
he's saying. But we heard a band, so they're coming.
(14:23):
But no, it was like something I had to walk
in and change. But they ask you to get in
to their website. They ask you questions like they have
your whole life, every transaction that you've ever made in
this database. It's terrifying. But to log in, instead of
like creating an account typing in your social you have
(14:44):
to prove that it's you. They're asking me all these
financial questions, like did you take out an auto loan
in twenty twenty three? And I was like yeah, and
then it kept going down the list. Did you take
out a student loan in two thousand and eleven? And
I was like yeah, And they're like from which one
(15:04):
of these things? And it was like going back to school.
I was like, ah, two of these answers seem both right,
but I'm not sure. I couldn't log into my own thing,
so I had to like call them up explain the
whole situation. They were fine, they you know, clear it up.
The lady I was talking to is real nice, but
they had a section I had to go walk into
(15:24):
the Social Security website to like go around the Department
of Homeland Security and Social Security website once you walk in,
has all of your taxable dollars that you've like, you know,
told the government that the money you've made. So I
got to see how much money I've made since twenty
(15:48):
and thirteen. Granted I've been unemployed twice for a stretch,
also didn't make that much money for the most part.
And honestly, I think my aunt was messing up my taxes.
(16:08):
At some point I was looking. I was like, that
can't be right, right, No, antone's smart, she ain't messed
up by taxes. But I just like, I was looking
at it, and I added up how much money I've
made in my life. My career earnings not good. Some
of you listening have made it in a year. I
texted the number to my little sister and she's like, yikes,
(16:31):
you've basically wasted your working career. And I was like, yeah,
I know, I need to get better, need to hit
the lottery or something. But seeing like my lifetime earnings,
it was terrible. I see those like ESPN graphics all
the time where it's like Mike Trout's lifetime earnings, It's
like four billion dollars and you're like, oh, that's cool.
I wonder what mine is going to Social Security? Jesus
(16:54):
what it's it hurts, I'd go outside walk around. It
was tough, but then I got to feel a little
bit better because I walked on to Twitter dot com
and I saw Elon and Trump having a having a breakout. Man,
(17:15):
I didn't even like I I have tried to not
pay attention as much of that stuff as possible, but
every once in a while, the funny stuff makes it
to Twitter and I'll get to see it, and you know,
Elon saying that Trump's pedophile, Trump saying that Ewon's you know,
stupid for walking out with a black eye, and the
(17:35):
interview it was funny, but like the people that were
talking about it, people are taking sides. Now, you know,
it is fully Kendrick versus Drake for people that wear
hey dudes, Like I was reading this article about it
and said, according to reports, the bromance they keep calling
they keep calling it a bromance, which is weird. Started
to end when Trump wouldn't show Elon the Pentagon's plan
(17:58):
for a possible war with China. Quote. Everything changed from
that moment on end. Quote. That's a quote people are
writing think pieces about this, and it's hilarious because first
of all, obviously don't show Elon the plans for a
war on China, you know, like, I know, we gotta
have all those plans. But Elon's like sniffing coke, shooting
(18:18):
up Kennemy, whatever he's doing. He's high. We've seen him
be high, and he likes to be liked, So that's
he's gonna get on Joe Rogan's podcast and be like,
do you want to know how we're gonna attack China?
It's dude, You're gonna start World War three because you
want to be cool. Got to relax, man. I do
feel bad for the people that like both of them,
(18:41):
Trump and Elon, and they like have to choose, you
know what I mean, because I grew up with divorced parents.
It's not fun, you know, choosing your favorite. I get it, man,
it stinks what I think happened or I don't know,
Like what do I know? What I think happened is
Trump needed Elon's money to win, and Elon wanted to
(19:04):
be cool, you know what I mean? And then when
Elon realized he wasn't cool, and they were just messing
around with him. He got his feelings hurt. And I
get it, man, Like, there was one time when I
was a kid, I wanted to be cool with all
the you know, the neighborhood kids. They were older than me.
I'd always asked, you know, play football with him or
I was like I could play. I'm good, I'm fast,
(19:26):
and they would never let me play. And then one time,
one time they were like, all right, we'll let you play,
but you got to prove to us that you can
catch pass. And I was like, oh, I got that.
I've been playing with my dad in the backyard. This
is easy. And the one one big kid was like,
all right, go along. I started going and he goes farther.
(19:50):
I kept going, he goes farther, Keep going, and there
was this little hill. As soon as I got over
the hill, I heard him start laughing. They were never
gonna throw me that pass. That was the first time
I fell for that. And it hurts because you're like,
I would to be cool, I want to play with them.
I get it. Elon, Oh man, I just it's weird,
(20:15):
you know, like this this is the timeline that we're
living in, but it's also hilarious, like Musk is acting
like he's the good guy. Now he's like Trump saw
on Epstein's list, He's gonna ruin the country. Hey, bro,
you liked him a couple of weeks ago. That's the
same energy as what a girl breaks up with you
and she's.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Like, yeah, you always had a little dick.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
It's the same thing. So like, no, no, no, until this happened,
you like me, Yes you did. I remember. It's bad
on all sides, man, But it's also very hilarious for
people who haven't aligned their personality with wiking Trump or Elon.
So good for most of us, you know what I mean?
Everybody else? What do we learn? We don't idolize famous people.
(21:04):
They're not our friends, especially the super rich ones. Okay,
but don't you really like Lebron James. That's different. I'm
not a hypocrite. See how I stuttered when I tried
to say that. My mind knew I was lying. I
just like Lebron James. All right, it's time for your
headline of the week. The TSA had to clarify this
(21:29):
week that a Costco membership card cannot be used to
go through airport security. First of all, I joined Costco
last week. Now, all of a sudden, in my algorithm,
I'm getting nothing but Costco content. The TSA had to
post a reminder on Facebook, this is crazy TSA. You
know what that stands for. They secure airports, That's what
(21:51):
it is. And they've had enough people come through and be.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Like, yeah, I'm going down to Miami for the weekend.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Where's your ID?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Don't have that, but here's my Costco card.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Do you know how many people had to do that
for them to make an announcement? They said, quote, we
love hot dogs and rotisserie chickens as much as the
next person, but please stop telling people their Costco card
counts as a real ID, because it absolutely does not end.
Quote how many people have done that? And how many
people they like, they saw somebody in line like nudging
(22:24):
the other guy. He's like some guy inline freaking out,
like oh I forgot my driver's license in the car
and I miss my flight. Some guy like nudge him, like, hey, bro,
it's fine, just use your Costco card. Do you have
the executive membership? Yeah, they'll let you right in. And
it's hilarious because, like I was saying, after I got
congratulated for being a member of Costco. Everybody shook my hand.
(22:48):
I believe it that these people think like this, This
tracks Costco members one hundred percent would think that that
card would get them in anywhere. And you know what,
after walking through Costco and see all the savings, I'm
gonna start flashing my car to authorities and see where
it gets me. You know what I mean? See what
I get like, I get.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Pulled over thirty and don't I pulled you over?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
No, But I'm sure this will clear it right up.
Pull out my member card and.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Be like, ooh only a gold member.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Yeah, you're going to jail, buddy. Oh man, all right,
I gotta get out of here, gotta go get some food,
gotta go to Costco boom. I don't even know if
I'm doing that right. There's somebody who's been listening this
whole time who's.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Like, you're not doing the Costco boom right, dude.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
I'm sorry, I'm still new. Appreciate you listening. I will
catch you next week. KS call money for money for
money for Co money
