Speaker 1 (00:14):
All right, So I saw this survey and I'm just
finding it hard to believe. But the survey says that
more than half of Americans don't know what Memorial Day is.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
I don't believe that. Okay, I don't believe that fifty
percent a lot.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yeah, I know there are people that don't know, but
like even that, are they my kids?

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Well, and my kids know, by the way.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
Yeah, Or is it people that get it mixed up
with Veterans Day or Labor Day?

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Right? Or well?

Speaker 1 (00:53):
I saw the post over the weekend, and I don't
know if it's entirely accurate, right, because Veterans Day is
about those that were all so died, right, and the
More Day is clearly about those that have died.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
But you're not going to shun a vet who hasn't
died on Memorial Day?

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Right, No, no, no, you know what I mean? So
they are the line is blurred a little bit, so
I can. I'll get that to a degree. I just
most people don't get Veterans Day off, but everybody gets
a Memorial Day off.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
I just find it hard to believe. Let's like saying,
you don't know what July fourth is. I don't remember
being taught about Memorial Day or Labor Day in school.
Definitely taught about Veterans Day, Definitely taught about Christmas and
Thanksgiving and all those other fucking holidays people get off
fourth of July.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yeah, and maybe that's why.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Well, well, the other asterisk is you're not in school.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
True, I haven't been there in a long time. No.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
No, I mean like during those Veterans Day you're in school. True,
but a lot of schools have Veterans Day recitals or performances.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Right right, right, But you aren't in school, and during
the Fourth of July they still teach you about it.
What I mean, So I see where you're coming at.
You you don't have school at that time, and there
are some places or is it Labor Day, Labor Day
that some schools are in there's.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
No reason to teach liber Day. Liberty is dumb. It's
a dumb holiday. I'm grateful for it, but it's a
dumb heart. Oh. This says two thousand Americans were serving.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
They found forty eight percent of the respondents knew that
Memorial Day is a holiday honorary military personnel who died
in the service of the country. Thirty five percent of
the Panels incorrectly thought Memorial Day was a holiday celebrating
all military personnel, both living and deceased. Yes, that's fair,

(02:39):
Okay that I see how you could asterisk that too.
They didn't know, but it's not like they were like
is it for chefs? Is is it anybody who makes pictures?

Speaker 3 (02:52):
You know?

Speaker 1 (02:54):
One in twenty wrongly thought it was a holiday commemorating
all public servants military or not who lost their lives
while working.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Okay, like postal workers too, I mean.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
There was some the landscape guy who fell in the
the chipper.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Older generations, by and large were far more likely to
know the exact definition of Memorial Day when compared to
younger Americans. Absolutely, that makes one hundred percent sense. Well,
there's a problem then, because of I don't know World
War two range. Yeah, our parents never taught us about
it then, or really their fault, it is their fault.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Twenty seven percent of gen Z respondents selected the correct definition,
as well as thirty eight percent of millennials. Baby boomers
were most on top of fifty six percent knowing precisely
why Memorial Day was observed, but just because you don't
know exactly what Memorial Day is. It doesn't mean you
have to work on the unofficial start summer.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Blah blah blah.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
Why do we observe a moral day?

Speaker 1 (03:53):
To honor mi military personnel who died in service to
their country forty eight percent was the answer. To honor
all military veterans, both live and deceased thirty five percent,
to remember all public servants who lost their lives while
working five percent, and to commemorate the founding fathers and
their role in American independence three percent, And to honor

(04:13):
past presidents who served in the.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Military two percent. That's hilarious. That feels like a really
dumb survey. I'm trying to figure out, like, how do
they find these people?

Speaker 1 (04:24):
How do they do the survey? Did they just walk
up to somebody in home deepot and go, hey, is
your water filter? You need change at your house?

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Right? Because that happens. That's how they get those fucking
surveys for like family feud. They hit you up at
the mall, Hey, would you like to take a survey?
You know, and they pay you like five dollars for
like thirty DearS of your time. Yeah, I had some
friends that did it really five dollars.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
I thought they just did the studio audience.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
No, no, no, no, uh this one. This was back
in like ninety nine when my buddies did. We were
at the fucking mall and they're like, Hey, would you
like to take a survey? And they're like yeah, They're like,
we'll pay you for it, and I was like, I'm
fuck good on that.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
I got other things to do.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
But my buddy Will and I think Chad went in
there and they had for that particular one, they had
to watch an M and m's commercial and then give
their thoughts their feedback on that. But I'm pretty sure
that's exactly how they get the family few questions as well.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
If I'm doing a survey, I'm definitely gonna say it's
for the family fusual because your response goes up dramatically.
I would think this says whatever, whether it was accurate
or not, it gets answers by hiring a polling company
called Applied Research West. They call random people and ask
them questions over the phone. Now maybe they used to
do it in the all, but the people answering don't

(05:42):
know if it's the game show. This helps the answers
keeps the answers honest and avoids people trying to be
funny on purpose. The show's writers come up with about
one hundred questions each day. The executive producer picks thirty
to forty of the best ones. These are sent to
the polling company, which asked them to hundred people. The
most common answers from the surveys I used on the show.

(06:03):
In the early days of the show, they mailed surveys
to fans who signed up.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
They sent out two.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Hundred surveys to make sure they got at least one
hundred back. They also made sure to get responses from
different parts of the country to avoid regional bias.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
So when they say one hundred people surveyed, they mean it.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
M yeah, sure they do. That's just what they tell you.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
I think all that's fun.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
I'd like to I'd like to go on the family feud.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
I would love it. I actually know a guy who did.
He was working security at one of the clubs that
I was working at. And this was like years years,
years after we stopped working together, and I just saw
on the Facebook and because he you know, posted pictures
or whatever, but really couldn't talk about it, you know,
until he could and then it's like we were on
family feud blah blah blah. So I tried to talk

(06:50):
to him a little bit about it, and yeah, he
said it was neat.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
There's a lot of you know, standing around and waiting,
you know.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
And who was the host at that time, Steve Harvey.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
It was yeah, he's been on there what a minute.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, he might be the longest running one. Yeah, probably
even the uh oh fuck?

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Who was the original one?

Speaker 4 (07:11):
Yeah, the guy that kissed everybody.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
Mark Mark Ray.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Ray Ray, keep going, it's not Ray Stevens. No, it's
not Ray, Charles.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Ray Ray Ray Ray over Ray Colmes.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah, Ray Colmes. He's not the first one. Richard Dawson
was the first one.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
That Ray Colmes was the short little one that killed himself, right,
I believe so, yes, And like the early and mid nineties,
so it goes Richard Dawson, who did it for nine years.
He was the creepy Philly Yeah, and then he.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Came back and did it for a year and that's
when they're like, oh, you're creepy.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
He would always kiss the women.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Then Ray Combs did it for six years, remember that,
and he left when Dawson was like I want to
good old Dick came back. And then Louie Anderson.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yeah, he was all right, he was an all right.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
That's when they rebooted it after a five year absence.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Uh. And then Richard karn right right from Orland. Yeah
if he did it for four years, and he always
looked high as fun, always looks super big. He was
my least favorite. They're probably like, I just want to
shave my beard, like you can't in.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Right you are?

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Before he goes in, he's like, look better if okay?
And then John O'Hurley.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
Right, John O'Hurley was on there.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Did it for four years.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
He was on he did Dancing with the Stars. I
think I want to say he was a host of
one of those shows.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Oh was he He was the white haired guy. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
And then Steve Harvey's done it for fifteen years.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
He is the best.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
He's credited for boosting the show's ratings and making it
hit again.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Yeah for sure. He did it his.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Own way, Yes for sure, and it is the only
it is worthy of that show to get say. Jack
has always kind of done that type of hosting where
people the responses will get a response out of him. Yeah,
Barker did it a little bit, and Drew Carry, of course,
says but Steve Harvey, Yeah, yeah, I don't like Drew
Carrey as the host.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Right to be honest with you, Maybe I'm just being
Barker biased.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
No, no, no, I like Drew Carry. I don't know who
the fuck that guy is that skinny Drew. Skinny Drew
is not good. Get the microphone, it's dumb, I get it.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
But it's George for Bob. It's part of that show.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah, it's the price is right icon all the giveaway
a fucking avocado colored stove, Like, it's what are you
talking about?

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Keep groping up the fucking beauties man. Yeah, Bob's beauty.
Bob's beauties man, Yeah, Barker's beauty. Yeah. Times. Then you
sure it was only happening there.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
I was watching in the hotel. I was watching Madmen,
which I love that show, and it was the episode
where the guy from Jaguar they're trying to get Jaguars business.
Those are now shows about advertising in New York City
in like the fifties, sixties, and they have this woman,
red hair, big breasted. All the was the front desk

(10:27):
lady she works through became like a partner of the
of the agency and the client for Jaguars, like, hey,
you're only getting this business if I get a date
with her, and the sales guy's like, like, you know,
downplaying it. He then goes meets with her and proposes

(10:51):
this to her, one of those like yeah, I mean,
we're not going to let you do it, are we?

Speaker 3 (10:58):
Yeah, unless you want to. You wouldn't want to want
to do that?

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Would you help the company get the biggest car client,
put us on the map as an agency, And she's
like you She's like, you can't afford me? M like
she puts like she was very aware of who she was.
And so then he has a meeting with the other
partners and is like, how are we going to get
her to do this?

Speaker 3 (11:20):
That shit happened all the time.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
It probably still God be unhappy. They just don't use
an employee. No, they go find a working girls and
fills the street walker and be like, hey, it works.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Yeah, go get the buzzs.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
I watched that show and I'm like, this show is
just wildly unbelievable that it was a real thing. I've
heard good things about it. I've never seen an episode
in my life.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
I think it's a it's a really great show.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
You go back and watch it still and it hasn't
dated or aged or anything.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
I like it was already.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
It's a flashback show, like watching The Wonder Years now
you're watching her like, yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
Is that what John Hamm?

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Yeah, its fantastic.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
He's in a new show on Apple TV, good Friends
and Neighbors, and it is fantastic. Okay, I've never been
a John ham fan really but.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Really yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
I just not that I didn't like him, just the things.
I've never been interested in the things that he's been in.
But this show is pretty damn good. Where he is
like this this rich guy who's got a really good
paying job, Like he's like a not a CPA but
big time business y guy and a broker or something

(12:33):
like that. And he ends up, he gets married, does
works really hard, works his way up in the company,
buys a bigger house, has the kids, has this great life,
and then he walks in on his wife banging his
best friend. So he gets divorced, loses the house, you know,

(12:55):
she keeps it, and then he loses his job and
he's got to find a way to keep up with
his lifestyle after losing his job, so he ends up
stealing from his friends.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Sounds like it's the same character he plays in a
Battle like Everything.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Because even though I have never seen uh the a
and Mad mad Man, I've never seen it, I knew
that's what his character. And he did the same thing
with with the Landman. He was that exact same character man,
you know business see rich motherfucker jaw motherfucker.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
He plays an FBI cop in the town with Matt
Damon Renner. Okay, I'm not mad Dame Ben Affleck Jeremy Renner.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
He's great in that, okay, because he comes off as
kind of a gruff asshole.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
I was about to see if there was any other
roles that he's done where he's not some rich you know. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
In Maverick he was kind of a gruff.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Asshole Maverick, like with Mel Gibson.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
No, no, got you got you that? Yeah, the top secret.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Not Maverick, the old timey card plane bank robbing. Yeah,
a train robbing, sorry, train robbing, Mel Gibson moving, Yes,
the greatest Western votertain No, No, I don't even know
if it ranks in the top ten, it's a turn

(14:25):
of a movie. My mom loved it.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
Yeah, it was a good back then.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
And if you can, you know, if if you were
into westerns, like my dad was huge into westerns, so
of course he liked that. He liked The Gambler with
Kenny Rodgers, which was a good movie.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
You cannot put The Gambler and Maverick on the same
playing field, so.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
They're basically the same thing.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Yeah, fucking country, you know, Western playing cards for money.
I didn't know this, but the mel Gibson was from
a TV show. They adapted that made the TV show
into a movie.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Oh okay, I didn't know that. That's interesting, Yeah, yeah, okay. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
So it's a nineteen ninety four Brett Maverick needing money
for a poker tournament, faces various comic mishaps and challenges.
Because you know what I love about a good fucking
Western is the comedy mishappening that happened.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
I go to hang the guy in it, brope breaks
and everybody laughs about it.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Jody Foster, mel Gibson, James Garner. Yeah, which gave it
a ton of credibility. Yeah, no, that is not a
good movie.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
No, I'll watch it if it's on a Sunday and
the ain't nothing else on, though, I'll get down on
some Maverick.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
Why the hell?

Speaker 2 (15:38):
No modern modern country Western movies, Modern Western movies. You've
got three tender Yuma, true grit. These are just the
ones that are coming to the top of my head. Okay,
I'm gonna name something broke Back Urban Cowboy. Yeah, it's
not a Western. It's more of a wear cowboy hat bulls,

(16:02):
but I would hardly put that in the Western category.

Speaker 3 (16:06):
Blazing saddles deafinitely. Hey, boys, look what I hep you
crazy heart? You've ever seen that one? Dude? You would
love crazy Heart? You think so? Absolutely, dude.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Jeff Bridges, he plays a country Western guy on the road.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
He is, he's a cowboy, Yes, actors.

Speaker 4 (16:30):
Eight seconds isn't really a Western, is it?

Speaker 2 (16:33):
I wouldn like Urban Cowboy? No, no, no, no, no. Eight
seconds is about rodeo people. Urban Cowboy is a relationship movie. Yeah,
you can almost call it a romance movie with with
the sub genre of them. He's writing, by the way,

(16:53):
writing a mechanical bull, not writing bulls right, and he
he was a lineman for the oil line, wasn't he
now it worked in enough refinery refined right.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Yeah, yeah yeah, Dangling Yeah yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Nothing cowboy or western about not definitely not Western.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Maybe cowboy Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
No, Country for Old Men not a cowboy movie. No,
it takes place in the in the you know West.
Yeah yeah yeah, Young Guns, yes, totally. Uh.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
The Ballad of Buster scrugs. Yes, that's kind of a
funny movie.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Pure Country, ooh, No, that is about George Straight. How
he's a musician and like this whatever musician like fucks
up and they're like, we got this other guy who
looks just like him, and that's where they slide George
Straight in, and then he ends up being more popular
than the musician that he was replacing. Pure Country, Crazy Heart,

(17:52):
eight seconds, Urban Cowboy are cowboy movies like Diehard is
a Christmas movie. It is just a subplot. It is
not what it is about.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
True Grit is a damn Western movie. Tombstone, Tombstone, Quickly
down Under. That's Helen high Water Lone Star, Old Yeller.
Not a country movie. No, The Rest Place in the Country. No,
The Revenue is not a cowboy movie. It's about the
It is about uh, the exploring of the West. It

(18:23):
takes place during that time. It takes place in the
old time. But it is not a cowboy movie.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
No, No, it's not.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
They're explorers, they're being paid to explore. And Leo's character
gets sideways with one of the other characters. That guy
kills his son and almost kills Leo's character, and Leo goes,
I'm gonna kill you, and it's about him hunting him
back about his Western is Django?

Speaker 4 (18:47):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (18:48):
What about hate fulate.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
For modern Western.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
Movies, I would consider it.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
That's the one that's got Sam Jackson in it, Walter Goggins, Okay,
for whatever reason I was thinking of that Seth McFarlane.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
It's got Kurt Russell, Okay.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Jennifer Jason Lee is amazing in it. She plays Kurt
Russell's prisoner, right, and she's really crazy. I would consider
what is it A Thousand Ways to Die in the
West or ten Thousand Ways to Die in the West.
It's comedy, but it's still it's Western. This says hate
fil It is an American Western thriller. Okay, Well that

(19:30):
tells me it's not a cowboy movie. No, but it
is a Western it takes place in the West, but
it is not cowboy esque, right, Yeah. Yeah, they're not
out hurting case. It's no fucking lonesome dove.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
No.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
But like Tombstone is about cowboys, right, young Guns is
about cowboys and the outlaws in the West. Yeah, okay,
it's I guess. So so what are we looking at here?
Like what they're about or is it the time frame?
I think the timeframe and what they do it the
timeframe and where they're at makes a huge difference, right,

(20:08):
you know, because you could easily do a movie about
the eighteen forty nine gold Rush. No, that's the West,
and it is Western times and it was during that time.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
But you see what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
So this says whatever this is worth. This says what
makes a cowboy movie is the main characters are cowboys,
ranch hands, outlaws or sheriffs. Setting is in a rural
or frontier, open plains, deserts, or small towns.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
The time period has to be in the late eighteen hundreds.
Common themes law of verus, chaos, survival, revenge, justice, horses, guns, saloons,
cattle drives, dusty roads, and horse Right.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
I always gotta have some wres in there.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
This says a cowboy movie is a western movie.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
Okay, there is a little difference. According to some people
western movie. A western movie includes settler stories, Native American conflicts,
gold rush tails, modern westerns like No Country.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
For Old Men, no cowboys, but still a western. That's
not a Western. Yeah it is.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
You read it black and white man. I mean then
there's a lot of cowboys at a record. Cowboys don't
wear vests, right vest, Let's say north face on them,
my course, though.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
Cowboy, dude.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Country concerts are cosplay to the ten man.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
That is a true statement.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
They're so funny. I love going and you're wearing your
your fucking snake skin boots and your your vest and
your get them.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
I am all about country music. I'm all about country concerts.
This is some of the most fun I've ever had
is at a country concert. But like my brother, let
me rephrase that. My brothers as I should say, they'll both.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Go take it to the fucking nines.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Man hat, pearl snap shirt, fucking boots, blue jeans. I'm
dressed for the part, plaid shirt whatever, yeah, not me,
this this is what I go. I got a T shirt, right,
have a small closet. I will say this if you
wear those a lot.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
So if like you're going out gear, is that true
your special night with your old lady?

Speaker 3 (22:45):
Is that okay? Yeah? But when you.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Of the other time, you only do it at country
concerts you're costplaying. Yeah, that country look is just not
for me. I tried it when I was a fresh
in high school, right, and the boots, the hats, the
all that. It just like I felt so weird. I'm like,
this is not Yeah, this is not for me. So
I put it down and never went back.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
We have a good friend. He is one cowboy, like
and I don't mean like out on the range.

Speaker 3 (23:16):
He could probably right.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
I've been with him on his land and him dealing
with cattle and all that other shit. I'm like, yeah,
wear all the snapshirts you want.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Man, wear a vest I don't give a shit.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Yeah, because I've seen you punch a cow in the face,
like because it wasn't and check its prostate, Like you
are a cowboy. But when you get out of your
Volvo for the show, oh god, yeah, or your dodge
Ram fifteen hundred, that ain't dirty, right, it's all lifted up.

(23:49):
You're not a cowboy you're costplaying. Listen, that's what America
is about. There ain't much difference between you and the
people that go to wrestling and the people that go
to Britney spear shows or whatever like furries, furries, juggle lows. Right,

(24:09):
We're all just trying to fit in with our little
group and click. And it's fine, Like I ain't hating it.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
Be you live your life.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
But when those people diminish the juggalos, are those people
diminished the people that go to wrestling, right, I'm like, yeah,
settle down there, cheeseburger in Paradise. Oh god, I'll never
forget to being in Oklahoma City, didn't knowing there was
a Troubadour show.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
Go out to eat with some friends, and I'm.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Like, it is there glitching the matrix because all these
motherfuckers look exactly the same. They're not wrong, they all
they probably all show up at the same store at
the same time. When you have a cowboy hat to
wear when you go to cowboy things, I think you're
dressing up. Yeah, that's my good hat. It's the one
that doesn't get the mud on it. Listen again, if

(24:57):
you work out in the art and you wear a
cowboy hat and that's your thing, really like cowboy hats,
that's your identity. Yeah, I get it, But when you
have to get the ladder to get it out for
when you go to the show, you're dressing up.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Right.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
What was my grandpa shut hat and he wore when
he would go to a Troubadour show. You're lying, right.
My dad has a Panama Jack hat. He would wear
it a lot. Guess where it's at.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
In the attic.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
I was gonna say landfill, but because I don't wear
Panama Jack hats, it's one of the few things I
have kept giving to me for my dad. And I'm like, yeah, okay,
I got a ring from him that I they had
to cut off of him, which is weird in itself.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
I got it repaired and put back together and cleaned up.
Didn't know it was a silver ring. It was a
different color when I got it. I had turquoise in it.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
Yeah, but that's different. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
I'm totally thinking that you should break that hat down
wear sometime.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
I feel like there's somewhere out.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Of when we are in Panama, I will absolutely do that,
right or I changed my name to Jack. What if
we just say, like, for a morning we play nothing
but Panama. Oh yes, for you and your Panama jacket,

(26:22):
just you can wear it.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
I don't know, Probably I understand I'm not much of
a hat guy, and if I am, I'm a backwards at. Yeah,
occasionally affords at, but most of the time just backwards.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
I went through my Fedora phase you, Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
I had fucking this big white grim motherfucker man, and.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
Uh it was.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
It was fut of it, right, and I still have
it in my closet and uh oh yeah, because that's
when I first started working for Ford right, and I
was like, I need to be fancy for this fucking job.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
I'm I'm leaving Tom, I got me an adult job,
an adult job.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
So I went full on Dick Tracy with this mother,
I'm here for the scope, fucking my button down shirt
and my tie and my fucking raincoat, right and my
fucking foot door.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
Oh yeah. And that was great.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
And I was like after a while, I was like this,
this one's too big.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
I need to shrink my Fedora down a little bit.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
So I went and got another one, a pinstriped one
to match my pin striped suit.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
Nice damn man. Zoot suit, right, I get it by but.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
It wasn't quite like that because this is all tailored
custom right. It wasn't quite like the zoot suit where
you had pretty much just pinstriped pants that looked like
mc hammer pants, you know, and fucking chain. I love
that you're defending, but keep going fucking giant ass, fucking
jacket just you know, dragged the floor behind you.

Speaker 4 (27:47):
Do you still have the suit?

Speaker 3 (27:49):
I do. It's the only suit that I have.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
And did you need like, did you interact with customers
where you.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
Needed to wear a suit? No?

Speaker 2 (27:58):
I was just not working at Target anymore and felt
like I'm in an office now, I should dress like
office people dress.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
And because it.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Was you know, it was it wasn't a casual environment
business casual. I guess they could say, but khakis, Yeah,
pull up like Jake from State Farm. Yeah, Jake from
State Farm exactly. But I didn't.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
I'll do that on Fridays, you know, maybe.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
But No, I was like, I should dress like office people, Lou,
I'm at a I'm at a dealership.

Speaker 3 (28:34):
I should dress like everybody else.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
I do this thing, and Alias stop bringing me up
into her office because she'll introduce me to somebody, and
then they all kind of wear the same thing, and
I'll just call everybody that first name that I meet.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
She's like, you.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Gotta stop doing I'm like, what I didn't know? It
looks exactly the same.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
This is Jin She's been here twenty five years. Oh Joe,
pleased to meet you.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Right well, they're all wearing khakis, vesta from say, yeah
Jake from State Farm, and you're like, hey Jake.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yeah, they're great people.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, but they've they've got an image they
got uphold.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
I'm glad I'm out of that shit.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
I I'm some radio people, which Lindsey will attest to.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
Think that you have to dress up really to work
in radio.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Yeah, you can't see us though. I mean, well, it
isn't about the radio fans. It's about the business conducted
in the walls. That's what they kept telling me when
I was working and you know, selling parts and stuff.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Did they ever say this one, Hey, you dressed for
the job you want, not the job you had. I've
heard that before, but I go at a giant bunch
of bullshit.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
By the way, I've learned.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Some things having the fifteen million jobs that I have
I wore. I used to do customer service for Avis
Rental car right here in town, and I was going
through the training.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
And I was like fucking like.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
Twenty a half this time, right before I even had kids,
and I wore slip notch that said people equal shit.
That's the name of their song, right. The fucking trainer
did not like that at all. What well, I mean,
that does feel like a little bit of bridge too far.
They said I could wear whatever I wanted, so I
wore Yeah, I think there's an implication there that would

(30:17):
be appropriate for a business set. I learn my lesson
that day that you cannot wear that shirt to work,
so I never wore it ever again.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
I have been in part of many meetings about hiring
people and firing people. I have plenty of friends who
have hired and fired people, and nobody has ever said
the words, but have you seen how they dress? Right,
he's dresser, he's a snappy He's not a snappy dresser.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
That's never been said.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
It was always about performance every single time, Even in
the time where they're like we got to fire five
people to meet quota, who do we want to pick,
It's never been like, yeah, but Kim, you wore a
slipknot shirt. That's never been said, right, never never never never. Well,
they didn't, they did. They had it out for me
in the beginning anyway. Sure, yeah did the world and

(31:05):
you man, absolutely that place was all right to work at.
They had a certain smoke hall, right, this is what
your designated spot where you go to smoke.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
And we're like, okay, that's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
The fucking walls and the ceilings were like think of
the worst colored earwax you've ever pulled out of your ear,
and how orange and dark and red and black.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
That's how the walls were in that place. I was like,
I can't, I can't hang out here. I gotta go outside,
get some fresh air to smoke.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Right, as a smoker, the smoke hall is too much,
too bad. Yeah, doing inbound calls is brutal. Oh yeah,
I did that right out of college, or went one
summer in between and did the training. It was not
hard work, no, uh, And I was good through it.
Did the training, did one week on the floor and

(31:54):
they're like, hey, we want to move you to another
a I'm like, ah, I think.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
I'm gonna quit. Yeah, because it's sucks.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
I'd rather do inbound calls than out bound. Oh yeah,
because I've done those four bothering people at five, six
o'clock in the evening, interrupting their dinner.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
Would you like to get your carpets cleaned? Sure?

Speaker 1 (32:17):
If you could go back to younger you about looking
for a job. Obviously, I've made no mistakes, no regrets,
know that, bay for sure. Given advice, What would you
say to your younger self about job hunting, because you
wouldn't go for those jobs again, right, not.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Now unless I absolutely had to.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
No, no, no, But you're going back to your younger self
back then, trying to get your feet out from under you,
you know, get some standing room.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
I probably would.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
I probably would tell them go out there and do
those jobs, because that's how you learn some things in
those jobs. Sure, you learn what you can and cannot do,
or can and won't do. I won't ever do fucking
outbound sales anymore at all, waysoever, or sales in general.
For that fact, I hate sales. It is the worst.
It's never fucking good enough, and it's just tear. It

(33:04):
was so much stress for nothing, for a fucking nine
to five job. Yeah, so I would go back and
tell myself, or I would go back and I would
still do that, because that's how you learn some things. Sure,
you know, you learn that you can't wear a people
equal shit shirt to a customer service job. Yeah, and
that saved my ass because I probably would have still

(33:26):
worn that same.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
Shirt to a different job. Learn there were boundaries with clothes. Okay, yes,
so I would go Sure, I think you would have been.
I don't know why you didn't go down.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
A path in your life as a bar tender, because
you are perfect for that role.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
Yeah, your social game, all that stuff. Yeah, it's just
that that was Maybe.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
If I would have like shown a little bit in
I like making the drinks for the friends at the
parties or whatever, that's where it ended. I was always
the music guy anytime that we had a party, Gimpy
your DJ. Okay, anytime, no matter where I'm at or
whose party was at, it's always gimpy your DJ.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
Because I love music. And so maybe that's why.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Maybe if I made really good cocktails and didn't show
as much interest in the music, people like, all right,
you're bartending this party or whatever.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
Yeah, well, because bartending you can make ridiculous amounts of
money more than you came back. I had a friend
that paid for a house with cash, yeah at twenty five,
and bartended from twenty one for four years.

Speaker 3 (34:30):
Yeah. I know people that that is their life, that's
what they do, that's all they've ever done.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
You know, they started bartending when they're twenty one, and
they still aren't, you know for some of them, and
they just can't get out of that rut. But other
ones that's what they truly love doing. And you can
make good money though.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
Yeah, I think if I went back, I would probably like, hey,
find a job you can build off of and always
lean back to. Okay, so like uh, mechanic electrician.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
A trade of some sort, some sort of trade you.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
Can always lean back on or use as an extra
financial absolutely pick up not not.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
You know the token boy at Chuck E Cheese.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
Oh to can you know what I mean? Like right,
and I'm with you, like I learned things in that job.
But I'd be like, hey, maybe think about finding jobs
that could be a career.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Right right, not filler, yeah, because I didn't think about
career life until I was mid twenties, right, Like all right,
well I got to figure out what the fuck I'm
gonna do with my life because I am tired of
being in trouble all the time, tired Da da da
da da da dad, and I need to do something.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
I tried to convince my niece.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
I was like, go work at Starbucks while you're in college,
because that can carry you after college if you can't
find a job or whatever.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
They have good benefits.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
They feed you food throughout, like you get meals to like,
there are some great reasons to work there that even
if it doesn't work out, you can be a district manager.
Quick trip is another one. Yeah, Like get a job
where there's a there's a lean back, right rather than
I got out of college, didn't get a job in

(36:15):
radio right away and waited tables, which sucked. And then
I worked in a financial field as a as a
mutual fund representative, helping manage people's portfolios.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
And I was like, this sucks.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
People do this every day. Quit that went back to
waiting tables. You just sit there and look at the clock. Yes,
she's like, fuck it's only nine ten. Yes, fuck it's
only nine eleven.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
They didn't even fucking lunch yet, mother.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
Yeah, you go and you find it. You know, eating
your cubicle. Oh god, I'm so sorry. If you do this,
that sucks.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
We're describing a lot of motherfuckers. That's not easy.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
But if it works, it works. I know they're not
happy because I've been there. I've been stuck in cubicle land.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
Yeah, it sucks.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
You know, you make I made friends with the three
other motherfuckers around me, you know.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
But if you were on.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
The far end of the office, of the sales floor, off,
I can never talk to you unless they go to
the math room. Right, that's it, right, you said, Uh,
it works. I would argue you get used to it.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
You're probably right. You're probably right.

Speaker 4 (37:35):
Bless you.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
You get used to it. You get used to the
routine of it. Again, nothing wrong with these jobs at all.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
If you think about it, though, every job we'll wear
you down.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
I've said it before. What's differesting being a dog walker
in any other job? As a dog walker, I put.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
It in my hand, right the other ones you just.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
Deal with it.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Yeah, And you deal with it in every job, no
matter what it is. Speaking of dog turns in your hand.
Oh god, we're gonna pivot real quick because we're at
the fucking park.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
We're at Niehus. You mentioned it earlier on the show.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
Nice little park over here and Broken Arrow and they
got a nice little disc off course over there, So
me and my buddy Josh and my brother would go
over there to play.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
And we were like.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
There's all these multi colored things down the middle of
the fucking field. I'm like, what is this a bunch
of condoms? Nah, they're too big to be condoms. They
look more like rubber gloves. So we get up to
where the tea pat is where all this multi colored.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
What the fuck is going on?

Speaker 2 (38:36):
You look a little bit closer, somebody had scattered like
emptied out the fucking shit can and then just scattered
random bags dog shit all over the park.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
Craziest thing I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
And I was like, that's the craziest thing you've ever
seen in that particular park. I've gone the floor and
like you'll find random shoes in somebody's panties and an
old condoms or something. But that's a nice, decent park.
I'm like, we're one.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
Because there was a.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
Trash can blowed over. I was like, well, maybe maybe
a blue out of here an eighty mile an hour
when knocked over the trash can and all the shit
just happened to land two hundred feet away from it.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
No, I can't believe that.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Probably some kid that wears a People Equal Shit shirt
my motherfucking teenager rebellion. I'm just saying a younger version
of GIMPI would understand the artwork that had been presented.

Speaker 3 (39:30):
True, it's true in the field. Respect that so gross.
Pick up your shit.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
Put that on a shirt, pick me that morning show,
pick up your Shit.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
I like it. I want to get that made. I
think it's a band name. I know somebody. I know
somebody who makes T shirts.
