Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hello guys, welcome to episode two of the cunning buffoons. My name is Dylan. I'm Andrew Tyrone

(00:12):
All right, let's get started. Let's get started. All right, we're in there, baby
This week's topic
We don't have topics. What now Dylan did want to talk about something, but we don't we don't label the episodes topic
Number one topic to topic three

(00:32):
Yeah, that's because it would take way too much to have a producer that did all that for us. That's very true
Like your mama works enough to not have to be doing that to
See my topic. I'm
What the other camera go kind of stupid you didn't do
You found the other camera. Yeah, I didn't I disappeared it was up there last week

(00:56):
Yeah, all right now they haven't been released yet
But did you guys see where he did sign the order saying that the RFK
JFK and the Martin Luther King files are all to be unclassified. Hmm. What is that?
RFK, I don't know. Uh Robert. Yeah
His brother. Yeah, Robert Kennedy. Yeah, it was JFK's brother

(01:20):
If I remember right he died in mysterious circumstances, but then JFK like it's been
I don't think there's hardly anybody left that actually believes that he was assassinated
The governor by okay, man. Yeah, we know well, what's the they they didn't like what he was doing?
They said let's get him killed. Let's get him out. Yeah, that's what most people think happened

(01:41):
But now the files are ordered to be released so that hopefully they think that you know, okay, but
They think Martin Luther King, Jr. Was assassinated not by the people that supposedly assassinated are they
Are they worried about any other presidents that's been assassinated? How many of the presidents have been assassinated to?
I know Abraham Lincoln JFK. Is there three successful ones?

(02:04):
Because I know there's been several attempts look at up for me. It wasn't
Wasn't his brother a president just for a little bit or my mistaken who JFK's brother. I don't think so
I thought he was no somebody close to JFK. I thought there's a couple of them that have run for president
It might have been that and then you got a
One of his cousins that's running for president or was running for president this time, but now he's the

(02:29):
health guy
They were really hyped for him a lot of people. I know we're really supporting him. Yeah. Yeah
He's listening to me the smart and like as far as the hell stuff goes like I really like okay
I had I follow a lot of people on Instagram
Because I do 4h and I follow a lot of people from different states and there was a lot of controversy

(02:49):
So you posted on Instagram some people with this belief that belief that belief will say he went against the
Democratic mainstream
He was like we need to go back to what we were doing and that just bugs us not out of people
Well, it wasn't even according to Google for sitting presidents have been killed
Who are they? What's the fourth Abraham Lincoln James a Garfield

(03:14):
William McKinley and John F. Kennedy
Do you know how I know how Abraham Lincoln and Jeff K were assassinated?
William McKinley is the only only one I don't know. He was shot, wasn't he?
I love how we had this little like baby country

(03:39):
Because if you think about it like if you're in Japan
Now you've got when you're learning world history
He was shot twice in the abdomen. This is William McKinley and he died of gangrene caused by the wounds
Oh, so he didn't even really die of the wounds. He died because our medical technically the ones up. Yeah, but
like

(04:04):
Yeah, there's a whole bunch of and then there's a couple that have been shot and not successfully killed yeah
from
Reagan was shot to what me
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Reagan was shot also. I think Reagan might have been shot twice. What the
Oh, God, I went around like miss me
James a Garfield Garfield was also shot

(04:27):
Okay
Yeah, he was the one that a balloon popped at one of his events like shortly after that everybody's like hi you miss me
Yeah, he was a he was an actor
He was he was a decent president
The problem is when you start studying history of any country
It's kind of you get like there's
People don't understand it like we we all have dualities

(04:50):
Like Malachi is not a good or bad person. He has the tendency to do great deals of both at all types
And like we can have some really good traits and then have some really bad traits too
So like there's a lot of presidents go ahead. I have a question. So who do you think did the most for the country in their
term

(05:12):
Like overall yeah ever
That's out of all what 57 56
47 47. Yeah, I'm way off that. I think I think president is
45th and 47th
45th and 47 because he was a 45th president then Biden was a 46 and then Trump

(05:36):
Oh, yeah, 47 president. So yeah, he's
I think he's is he the only president in history to do anything about it
President history to do that too. I
Don't think so. I think there was another one. I can look it up. Okay. You are awesome on that keyboard
So you're gonna answer a question

(05:56):
George Washington
Well, he was the first exactly like that was in the days when everybody's goal was still
Like you don't realize how fast the country started becoming a banana Republic and like not a true Republic
But kind of a dictator ship like Civil War era was one of the first Grover Cleveland

(06:16):
And Donald Trump. Okay, so Grover Cleveland, but like the Civil War was the first instance of
Like widespread voter fraud that was exposed
When the civil war really yeah
And like they were like noticing that like almost everybody at these military camps

(06:39):
We're all voting for the same person
When like then they would go visit the camps and so like there was a huge book done about it a massive study done about it
A guy exposed most of it like during the Civil War
And so like that's the whole like we're gonna cheat things
That's not new. Oh, yeah, I didn't think it was

(07:02):
I think it's kind of cold outside. I mean it was good actually
I
I
I
I
I
Not a bad word

(07:23):
We're still on the top
President I want to know who you think did the worst for the country
And like it can be in like because who was it Nick Nixon who took his way from the gold standard and like all of them have done their things
Yeah, but who do you think has done the worst in office?

(07:45):
Probably who was it that done the the great new deal and the reconstruction during the
The depression the great depressions
I can't remember who it was

(08:06):
But that was an error in the time in the country to me like the Great Depression like we had the opportunity to set things back on track then
Yeah, and then instead of doing that we doubled down on retarded policies, you know that are all socialist policy
Franklin D Roosevelt. Yeah Roosevelt like he done a lot of good, but then like a whole bunch of his programs

(08:28):
to me were the start of
Government just getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger that's so we okay because the
Baby boomers are right after the Great Depression era, right? That's
Our Google technicians gonna look at I think that's I don't think you're gonna be able to crochet while doing this for us

(08:50):
Because we were very inquisitive without a lot of knowledge
Hence the name of the podcast baby boomers are 1946 to 64
But what was that's right after the Great Depression. I think it's so weird because I know baby boomers who are still alive
And that's so long ago, but it's still like
Like you think the Great Depression depression ended in 1939. Yeah, that's not that long ago. No

(09:16):
No, well
My time is short and extremely long at the same time
What's stored at the great depression?
Stupid economic policies and weather and drought and it was a whole a
Whole pile of things but like and also during the Great Depression time
I'm pretty sure that's when the US confiscated all gold and

(09:38):
Like, you know, everything became and then shortly after that, you know
Wasn't many presidents after that that we go, you know
We have a national debt and then we can go away from the gold standard and then because the gold standard is all your money's backed up by a
Bar of gold, right? Right, right right now. We're a fiat currency
Which means basically our money is just based on like here. I have a dollar. It's worth this much

(10:01):
Yeah, and like to me, that's the part that people don't understand about like inflation like everybody's a
The house and market you talk to people about the house market
They're like well, I bought this house for this much money and now it's worth this much money. It's like
No, you know, that's my house is not now worth
$750,000 my

(10:22):
$150,000 that I spent 20 years ago
Is now worth that much less. Yeah, like a pop-off my grandfather. Yeah
Put it in a very good perspective to me one time. He looked at he said that truck 30 years ago
cost 15 cows
He said that same truck now cost

(10:44):
48 cows
And so like that takes money completely out of the equation that truck is not worth anything more than a brand new truck
Well, it's when he had 15 cows for it and then 15 cows are
Now worth less in comparison to that truck your money just gets work less during inflation probably better quality when it was 15 cows
Oh, yeah, yeah much because that was when the auto companies wanted to produce something that never died

(11:09):
And then they got really good at it and we're like, oh crap
We're not making any money and so well, I mean I have a
1996 me son that's still running. Yeah, I mean, of course, you know, my grandfather was a great mechanic
But like are you familiar with the light bulb thing?
Yes, like you know I'm talking about where they had a light bulb that would last forever. Yeah

(11:34):
Well now said like several companies if I remember right, but like all the light bulb companies got together all the heads
Made it. No, they all got together at a certain point. We're like, okay
We're going to plan and engineer light bulbs to have a certain lifespan
So they specifically made their product to break at a certain lifespan because they were like if we keep putting out product

(11:55):
That's so good. I
Think that's why Chevy took the 327 off the market. I guess was one of the baddest the 340 from Mopar like some of the baddest most
Unbreakable engines there was
All of a sudden they disappeared the 7 3
Well, why the 7 3? Well, that was all these new turbos and stuff. I was proven. It was a stupid simple design

(12:19):
All fired injectors so that if you got low on all the engine shut down like genius. I
Like your 7 3. I've never driven or looked at a power stroke in thought. I really want to drive especially the newer ones
They just yeah to clarify. We're talking about the adi-ice like the 7 3 the original non power stroke like
Just old-school click-clack along see this is why I'm lost. Well, that's like, okay. That's that engine

(12:43):
That's the engine in that truck out there. Oh, 73 idea. Yeah, that's an indirect injection. That's before they went to the power stroke
But they actually lied to get to go to the you know that truck. We were driving at a over there on the farm
That's a power stroke model
You talking about the after 50. Yeah. Yeah, but it's with that stinking v10 Triton their garbage. Yes

(13:07):
Yes, well, that's like their race car engines like if you want to put one in a car and like zoom zoom around
That's fine. But like something that revs that high
For that little of torque is not for a truck. Well, that's like you a Honda
Motorcycle. Oh, yeah
I mean like you told me as long as it's got power and gas or air and gas it's gonna run

(13:31):
You hope if you got like even with the Honda motors like there are certain Honda engines
That like the little racers and stuff that people soup up like they have 22 C if I think that's the correct like engine
Call code or whatever for that coming the s2000 Honda s2000
Some bad little voters you put them 650 700 horsepower with dirt near stock everything and just beat

(13:56):
Hell out of them day in and day out and they're gonna run
But you wouldn't take that motor and put it in the truck and be like I'm gonna pull a big load
But yeah, it's like they're not good at matching the engine to the thing anymore
Everybody wants something that can do everything like that's just not feasible
Well, that's like your farm truck is now your average
Everybody buys a farm truck to be able to make it a farm truck

(14:20):
That's because most farmers can't afford the farm truck. Well, no, they buy they buy their nice
F-250 and then they get it maxed out in cab and you get in there
And you think you're sitting in a hundred thousand dollar car because you're sitting in a hundred thousand dollar truck exactly
I I want to be in a I
Want I don't know when I'm on the farm. I want something I get in I say oh if I get this dirty

(14:46):
Nobody cares not oh I paid a hundred thousand dollars for this that that's the thing that
They done a survey or something a while back and if they estimated it was like a absurdly high number of pickup truck owners
Didn't haul anything. Yeah all year
But hold nothing no trash nothing hit their pickup. I know guys that have a hundred thousand dollar trucks that they've put

(15:11):
50,000 more in souped-up engine beefed up the torque four-wheel drive off-road package everything
It's never not seen pavement their driveway was even paved so that their truck didn't have to go off-paste
Well, that's like all the new
Country boys that's I saw a video about this the other day
They said oh

(15:34):
They were like oh
We don't we don't make our trucks low. We don't we don't we don't squad on because it's cool. We squad because it's country
We don't think it looks good. We think it's country
Find an old farmer and ask him if he did anything to his truck
The it was squatted because you had too much weight in it and you were way over the DOT

(15:58):
Yeah, they're like he explained it. We don't do it because we think it looks good
We do it because we want to be country and we have to have our country trucks
Yeah, that's not a country. No, yeah a country truck is a truck that you say you just beat up
I mean you do whatever you can to beat it up
You can walk back to your chair. Yeah, you're just fine

(16:23):
You got to be on camera at some point
Yeah, but that's like the most dumb explanation I've ever heard of that is he that he tried to explain it and like the
I think you look retarded. I think a squatted truck is stupid unless you're doing it and actually turning it like the one we did on the
Like 07 Corvette Chassis. Yeah, like you're talking about like this

(16:45):
Dude's gonna have like a hundred eighty thousand in his truck
But like it's got a 700 horsepower monster Corvette engine 30 something thousand dollars worth of suspensions
Under like this thing's bad. It's gonna be a
1965 if I remember C-15 Chevy, but it's going to drive and handle like an 05 race Corvette

(17:05):
So like that to me fine have a lower truck you're getting a truck and you're driving you're wanting to drive slip slide and do donuts and have fun
That's a you know, that's a reason to squat a truck
But if you're gonna squat it and be like, yeah, it's my work truck doing what?
Hauling like saxes well, that's like the people who raise their trucks because there's a Tahoe that drives around where we live

(17:27):
And he's got his truck probably 13 inch lift, but he's got tires this big around on it
That's because the tires are this tall or like more than the truck and it's like okay first off. That's a matchbox tire
Get that off your car and if you want to raise your truck
To go do anything
Other than drive on the road

(17:50):
It doesn't matter how far you raise the cab if the drivetrain hits the mud
Yes, so you need to put tires on it that are for mudding
Yeah, and you can't
I don't understand if you're doing it for mudding and then you put
The same size tires on it. It doesn't a lot of them aren't doing it for mud and they just like that look and and that's if that's what you like the extreme

(18:12):
Camber kits and stuff like the the rake. Yeah, the backwards rake where you look like a dog dragging his nuts across the carpet
Driving on the road like it's I think they're all stupid to me like
Where they did the law or the rake couldn't be over like to me. It was dangerous
If you're looking at the sky, you can't see the road. I'm sorry. Yeah
But like as far as the aesthetics for your vehicle if that's what you like do whatever the heck you want to do it

(18:35):
But I also have the right to look at you and say
If if you're happy with it
Cool, but I think it looks retarded and a lot of people don't have that ability. I don't care if you raise it up raise the whole thing up
Yeah, actually put tires that and then like because your axle further off the ground if you're gonna go that extreme
Put the full independent suspension and have you know, yeah make it look

(18:56):
At least slightly decent
But at the same time it's like people get their huge trucks
And they do it and then where we live they're driving back roads and it's like bro
You literally can't get over because your truck is the size of a semi
Uh-huh
And the road is not big enough for two cars to make a full-time
Exactly you don't you don't need your truck that big

(19:18):
And
They're tall enough that they could just take the ditch and give you room
But they're scared to get it off the road because they've got well, they put $50,000
They put the tires
my our neighbor
Has his truck and he's talking about the truck
Has his truck and he's talking to me about how he can't hit potholes

(19:39):
Because the rubber is so thin. Yep, that it'll bust the rim if that rim hits a pothole
It'll pop the rim and then there you go. You're out of money
Uh-huh
What why do you want that on your vehicle if you are going to shows and you are you actually have it in shows
And are like winning awards and stuff like I know a buddy of mine that uh

(20:00):
He used to work with
He was heavy and heroin right?
And then he got clean
I think uh, I think he was on Suboxone that helped him so much. But like he loved being clean finally
And so he got into audio and stuff and so he he worked
He stayed out of trouble. He'd done his meetings and then he went to audio competitions

(20:21):
So he had about
I think 15 or 20 thousand dollars in his audio system
But like it was his therapy his release
Yeah, and like the money that he went towards it like I think he had a family member that I actually supported him and like
Went to competitions with him and stuff like that. So like it was his therapy in his release
He was not doing it above and beyond his means like if he didn't have the money to buy his new amp or whatever

(20:44):
He would wait till he had the money to buy his new amp. He wasn't maxing out credit cards and stuff
Yeah, I think that's where because like when me and uh, my son worked at the restoration shop for years
And you know, there was people that you could see like you get to your 40 hour bill
And it takes them two months to come up with the money because they don't really have the money to be fixing up daddy's car or whatever

(21:08):
And then you got the people that you know, you send them a bill and they're like, oh, have you checked his even?
Because they've got
The excess money to spend a hundred five dollars on the car
So like it stuff to me like it all depends on who you are
And where you're at on how you're spending your well for me if I'm doing like a old project car
There's things I don't want to do myself

(21:29):
I don't really enjoy
Mechanics. I'm I I know how to do it because I've been doing it my whole life
Do I really enjoy it? No unless it's something that's gonna make me have fun
Like because you said his release was audio. Yeah, my relief is fast things that go wrong
motorcycles
cars

(21:50):
I love motorcycles particularly something about two wheels. It's just a win in your hair. It's the throttle therapy. Yeah
It's just amazing motorcycles are amazing. You should get a motorcycle every view every view
No, every viewer should get a motorcycle if they are good at driving a motorcycle or at least have the capability of driving a motorcycle
Unless you're like this guy

(22:11):
I can drive a motorcycle you killing how many times have you slingshot yourself into the ground?
I
When not doing something stupid
What do you mean slingshot like what do you have seen you jump the hill and leave the bike?
I'm like when you're not being done. Yeah, that was a dirt bike
No, we're talking about dirt bikes. How long did it take you to get your your week two stroke to go?

(22:33):
Well, that's anything that's clutched in week sucks by like 30 minutes
It took me three tries
Shut up. It's like you've been driving stick shift stuff. It doesn't matter. I feel like it. I feel like when you're it just feels
Natural that stuff to me not to me, but like it's different. I feel like it's different for everybody
It is but like when I hear the engine

(22:56):
I it's easy to tell when to let go. Well now. Yeah, I can go on. Yeah, but so you go
There are people that are naturals. I was that way you have been that way that everything you said Ian you can drive
well
I had to work to get that way because the first truck I drove
I took me I spent like 20 minutes trying to get it to go in first. Yeah, but how old were you?

(23:18):
Seven. Yeah, see
That's that's the key you started and part of it is you were exposed to all that
Young I mean I'll flat out admit. I've never been the father that's like, oh, no, don't run the chainsaw
I'm like, heck if you can pick it up. Yeah, heck yeah, you can run the chainsaw. He's only like that was like
He was very iffy about cars like I talked about on last week's

(23:38):
Like he didn't he didn't let us drive vehicles. That was a very big no no
I've driven that truck one time
And I drove it around and I ran over a barrel with the trailer. Yeah, it was my first time driving a trailer
Do you see what I'm talking about?
What you let me drive that truck one time and I drove her in the yard. Oh, yeah
I didn't run over a barrel with a trailer like what well with the trailer and you're not going to drive it ever again

(24:01):
I know unless he gets it working
Because if he keeps taking my truck, I'll have to drive his you know, we got to keep it on the road more than a month
That's that's uh old trucks are awesome. But old trucks also require a lot of money
Well, so going this we're going on my god grandad. He's drunk right now that truck. It's a dog. It's fine

(24:22):
That's what's going on with it. No, he babies it
Yeah, like way too much. It's got a Cummins engine. It's pretty awesome. That's what I'm saying. It's a dodge
I don't know that's what's wrong with it
Look okay, look but it's but you can't you can't like the old Cummins engines were good
But though the problem is oh, they were fantastic, but they've got way too over hyped a truck

(24:43):
wants to run
Mm-hmm the mechanic looked at his grandad and said take it on the interstate
So that of it gald and and drive it faster than 40 miles an hour
He said at least get it up to like 60 or maybe it was like you've got to get the truck running
If you want it to stay you've got to blow all that crap through the injectors on them

(25:04):
And that's like I really hate to say this
and like
No, because like if we start actually getting listeners
This this would be the most controversial subject that that's ever been said on the podcast
Dusky's Duramax
That's the smoothest bullet son of a gun I've ever drove

(25:25):
The Duramax that's the white one. No, no that 45 or 3,500. Yeah
They put that new transmission with the haul packaging all on it that suckers nice
And I last time I drove that truck with you. You were scared of going up hills
Well now it's got you know new bearings and it's got the transmission fixed and

(25:46):
Dusky likes to drive or buy old crap and then put money in it make it good and then wear it out
This is what he explained to me one time. He said I will live in a shed
I don't care where I sleep. I let my dog clean the dishes doesn't matter to me. I want a nice vehicle
Yeah, but that's his personal vehicle, but

(26:09):
Why do you want to live in a shed like your dog cleaning your dishes like you have both
I was stuck on the dog licking. Okay. We're also talking about a guy who was like, you know what?
I really want to be a chicken farmer and then just up
Found a farm move state in what early 20s
I don't even think he was 20 yet when he did all this to begin. No, I think he was 20

(26:29):
Yeah, but he wasn't very much 20
And like was like screw it. I'm sorry the chicken. Well, he had a lot of beer at his house
So he I'm guessing he was 21. That doesn't mean nothing. I could walk in the storm by beer 13
I never tried
You'll get carted now. I want to stay 93 year old man get carted

(26:50):
I hate that because like if you can look at somebody and say that guy's falling apart
Yeah, he either had the
best Hollywood makeup artist
ever
Fix him up so he could go to the store and buy beer
or
Just like he said, I'm 93
13 years old

(27:11):
Why I ain't ever been carted and it's like yeah because dude you're
If you've been drinking beer for 90 something years
that's like a
Your mama's granddaddy when the place was like we don't want to give him a coke
He's in his upper 70s. He has dementia like he's he's going out the door if the man wants a coke give him a freaking coke

(27:33):
yeah
like
You're not for real. I love there's a he could definitely afford it
I assure you if he could definitely afford that coke. Yeah, but at a certain age
Yeah, yeah, because like he's already got dementia and dying. Well, I mean the coke's not good for you

(27:55):
Yeah, what what does it matter if coke's not good for you if the nurses are dropping you? Yeah
What what does it matter? That's a different one?
Oh, you're talking about a different granddad. I'm talking about her granddad. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about
Yeah, they dropped papa. I'm pretty sure I've heard stories
from your aunt

(28:17):
I mean that's
Nursing like there's some good nursing homes out there and then there's some bad nursing. There's a lot of bad ones
Well, they I'm so much louder when I turn this up the staff
The staff is over
Overworked. Yeah, and they're not really underpaid
Like like a lot of nurse positions pay well

(28:37):
But the problem is the for what they're doing the pay is not enough. Well, that's like claudia my aunt she does
She does nursing but then she's like
Oh, I told them that
$29 an hour isn't good pay. It's not I could I could get paid better somewhere else
but at the same time
At a certain point in your life you have to grow up and say

(28:59):
I have kids I got to get this job no matter what the pay is and $29 an hour
Is a lot better than any factory you're ever going to go and pull up that first start. Yeah. Yep. But also
It's it's like when I worked at a
The chemical facility. Yeah
And like I did all the receiving I unloaded all the chemical trucks. I had all my hazmat

(29:24):
certifications and all that bull crap
But they would ask me to go sign on a hazmat shipment and like when you sign on a hazmat shipment you're signing
That you are legally liable
If something happens to that shipment so they'll be like hey once you come down here and sign off on this
And I'll be like, okay, I'll be done here look at it a minute
And they'll be like, well, no, we've got it packed good and I'll be like no

(29:44):
I'll be done or look I'm if less I have walked through it and inspected the walls you built because like when you do a container overseas
You don't just like load everything at one end or the other you have to balance it so unless it is a completely full load
Which is very rare. Actually, you like put half your load in you build an actual wall
And then like you put the other half load in and then you crawl through and you build walls and you strap every like you got to make sure

(30:09):
That it can go on a ship
And then bounce around the ocean for a couple months be lifted with cranes and thrown on truck like you never know like there's one place
We used to ship stuff too that they said literally they would drive the train car up open the sidecar and just chuck the
barrels of ink down the hill to them
And I'm like you're lying and then they brought pictures because they visited that facility, but I'm like oh

(30:32):
Okay, but you know
They wanted me to just sign off on it and I'm like no that's I am legally like if something happens I go to jail
Yeah
Yeah, and so like there's a lot of stuff like that that people don't realize that they're the ones that will bear the legal
responsibilities of what they're getting into

(30:54):
Like with companies and and working and stuff like that. So like you got to realize
They ask you to do something make sure you know whether the company is going to be liable or you personally is going to be
I think that everybody should make more money than they make but
Well inflation wages have not went up with inflation
That when your money's worthless you should make more to make yeah exactly the same but that's not the way it's happened

(31:19):
And that's hopefully some of that starts changing some of the monetary policies
I know people who make six figures and that's still not enough
Yeah, which that used to be and that's why and that's why claudia is saying 29 dollars in enough
Because if you make say let's just make the math easy if you work 40 hours a week at 25 an hour
That's a thousand dollars a week

(31:40):
Okay, now say you make a thousand dollars a week now. You've got to pay close to 400 of it in taxes
You're going to bring home 600 dollars a week
Okay, four weeks in a month in most of them. You're going to make 24 hundred dollars a month
Okay, how much is rent in marpersboro for an apartment like the one she lives in?

(32:01):
2500 probably okay, so at 25 an hour working 40 hours a week
You're making 24 hundred dollars a month bring home pay and just your apartment
Is a hundred dollars over what you worked all month for they need to change all of those laws rent
Should not be as high as this because it's all driven by economics because you used to rent because you were broke

(32:25):
Yeah, you rented a house because you need like especially apartments
You rented an apartment because you didn't have the you either you okay. There are
Other mentalities to rent yeah like you either rent it because you didn't have the money to own
Or you rent it because you didn't want the responsibility of all yeah
It like if you have a steady like say if we had enough money investable

(32:47):
We made X amount of dollars and I was like hey, I want to
Have a house here a house in Georgia a house up in Johnson City, you know
I don't necessarily want to have to take care of the other two houses like all the maintenance and stuff like that
So if I could find a lease deal that you know my income would pay for because in five years

(33:07):
I might not want a house in the same spot in Georgia
Yeah, I'd say you know like so and then there are people that make crap tons of money that are like dude
I lease this apartment for five years in like some of the bigger income areas and stuff like that
Like I don't have to worry about reselling
When I relocate in five years for my job
You know so like there's benefits and disadvantages and advantages to both that's uh

(33:29):
My friends uncle they owned like three houses
One in uh Murfreesboro
They owned one up at North Slake. I don't know the area
But and then one in
Maybe Tallahassee some somewhere over there near Texas and stuff whatever Tallahassee something like that. I don't know
Tallahassee is important. I don't know what I'm talking about. Yeah, you went left instead of right. It's well. No

(33:52):
I it was like Tallahassee or somewhere near Texas one of the two I can't remember
But on the golf he was uh
Something about it. He he was uh
a hire up in a toothpaste making company
I never asked him what the company is could have been where mom works. I don't know but he was a higher up like

(34:12):
Very high up because his dad started the business or something want something like that
but
He was talking to me and he was like
I don't know. He was like what's your name me? You ever thought about that and I'm like
No, and he's like let's look it up
From what we got was Malachi means messenger of God. Uh-huh. It's Hebrew for idols. Yeah, and so he was like

(34:37):
He just like started explaining and he was like maybe your name and have a meaning and he was talking about how like
always take the risk
Like if you want to get somewhere go there. Don't you only fail?
When you give up, yeah, and he was a very smart guy and just like link back like you thought he like

(34:58):
We were at his house this house probably cost a million dollars a year
Like it was a nice house. They had a trolley that took you down to the lake. Oh
and like and his boat
He they sold the house because he was getting too old to polish it
But like you walked by his boat. You could see your foot reflection in his boat
Yeah, like that was his he made sure

(35:20):
Like even though you just said his dad started the company you could see that that somebody who his dad still made him work
Like yeah took care. It looks like he you know, he's laid back enough to realize that money and things are just money and things
But also appreciative enough to know that if you have something nice take care of it. That's like
I don't know. I I feel like we did something we had to talk to him. I don't know. We were goofing off. We might have broke something

(35:44):
I can't remember. We probably did you pull on me and my brother trip?
No, I don't I don't think
My friend's not that bad brady. He he would never do anything like that. We didn't try I remember telling I remember telling him
I was gonna screencast to the tv so we could watch a show on one of our subscriptions and he's like
Is that gonna is that gonna miss the tv brady?

(36:06):
I'm screen casting it does nothing to the tv. He's like are you sure?
Before before we do it like
Sure, you got enough money to buy a boat in a house probably worth like millions
I think he's thinking about a tv just in case it's not gonna mess with the tv though
I know but like, you know and I wouldn't want to mess up the tv if I knew it could mess up the tv
I wouldn't do it like I yeah like when you draw a face on a washer

(36:31):
You know I worked at a chemical facility. I thought I knew that dry erase markers would come off of
During near all metals, but apparently washers are very porous and if you draw a smiley face on your washer
And then go to wipe it off and you're gonna look at your wife and give her a smug. Look at me. I'm right. Look
You won't be giving her that look. You'll be giving there. I'm sorry and then she has to wash dishes while her can wash a machine

(36:54):
Smiles at her for the next four years. I'm sorry
Why'd you draw the smiley face of the watch because I was trying to show her because dry erase markers will wipe off a
Darn near all metal. There's very few paint coatings that it will not come off of
Whatever they put on an am washer is one of those coatings
I was proving a point for her. I'm not I'm not gonna lie most of the time when you try to prove a point it ends terribly for you

(37:20):
Like it like it goes so downhill so quick
It's like a ball of fire a trash rolling down a hill. You're like
You're like I'm gonna prove this point and you're like dang
Well
The point I proved 90% of the time that is that something will go wrong

(37:41):
Yeah, cuz I'll be like, okay guys, we're gonna do this and we're gonna expect this this and this
And they're like, oh, okay. And then the next thing, you know, it's like, why is it on fire?
Like that wasn't in the list of expectations. Where did the lightning bolt come from?
I don't know that's cuz I like I told dad why I want to get that
Uh, professionally rebuilt is cuz I can't think of one time me and him ever rebuilt something

(38:05):
Put it back in and it's ran for fun though. Like if it's one of the vehicles that we have to drive
We're fine. We can do that
But like
I can't tell you how many times I snatched the freaking Ranger engine out rebuilt and thrown it back in it and took off
But I did it because it was absolutely necessary
If it's not running on Monday, I don't go to work. If I don't go to work you guys go hungry like

(38:28):
I'm going
You're gonna get us canceled
No, no not cancel. What's worth copyrighted coffee. Yep. That's the word. I'm gonna sing the whole song now. You got a mumblet though
For Eddie Vedder. You can't pronounce all the syllables. You got a
I don't even know that whole song. It's like all I know
Nobody does he doesn't even

(38:50):
I bet mom knows all the lyrics. Okay, your mother knows all the lyrics to every song. She's ever heard
That's wrong. She cannot keep up with rap songs to save her life. She doesn't listen to them enough
That's like when I listened to rap I listen when I listen to music in general. I listen to the lyrics

(39:10):
I listen to like what's playing and that's like if I listen to a rap and it's like
We shoot heroin in the ditch and then we go
Have sex it's like that's not very interesting
But when you get like rap, it's about their life story or like there's a one guy listened to I'm not gonna say his name
So we don't get canceled
But I think you get canceled for saying a name

(39:32):
Isaac Kwanzo. He's a youtuber but he does like
He's it's not Christian rap
But it's focused towards like
Living the Christian life
But what the what they put the perspective on the Christian life. He has one song about how like
You think that it says you think that heaven's just a club that only virgins get in

(39:55):
Is one thing because a lot of there's a lot of standards in being a Christian that people put on you that don't really matter
Yeah, because God forgives everything that happens
As long as you repent
Yeah, as long as you actually repent
As long as you repent. Yeah, as long as you actually repent and that's the thing that people get too tied up to

(40:15):
um
I don't know like we've talked about it a bunch but the
Modern Christianity is starting to go the way that Judaism did at the time of Jesus
Like it's it's so many rules and list of this and it's not become about the focus is no longer a relationship with
Kind of like

(40:36):
It's like most parenting books
In the bible it's the last thing I I like the last lesson we had with mr. Aaron
in life points, uh the parodies
Parables no
The the guys they're like if you don't do this
Yes, yes the Pharisees that's I don't know I was yeah, and that's what a lot of the and that was why like

(41:05):
When Jesus come to abolish the law and the religion
It was coming to abolish the idea of let me have this list of crap
I can and cannot do give me this list of laws rules and regulations
Like you can sum the bible up in the end
With love god with all your heart mind and soul
Love your neighbor as yourself and everything in moderation

(41:27):
Like if you love god first and foremost you're gonna have a relationship
Well, I'm just like you know the whole podcast idea that we're doing like when I first talked to you and you was like
Hey, I want to do a podcast
We're just normal people talking to each other get to spend more time with my son and his friend get to know the younger
Generation more do what I am supposed to do as an older generation guy
And like develop this relationship and like we don't spend time together. We don't have relationships

(41:51):
So if you love god, you're gonna spend time with him. You're gonna pray to him
And like a lot of people get mistaken like they're a prayer
They think I got going in his closet and I got to sit down and like no I pray while you're driving down the road
Yeah, talk to god like you would an actual friend. Well, that's that's something that's very hard for people
Though the pray all all times

(42:11):
Like always be like pray without ceasing. Yeah, pray without ceasing because mr. Aaron talked about how he's like
He told me he's like I'm still not that good. He was like I can I could drive it
He's like I'm still not that good because the thing is people quit thinking of it as a personal relationship
And they're like, well, I've got this specific like Jesus came and the Holy Spirit came

(42:32):
So we didn't have to have the high priest anymore and that gave us a bridge and a connection to where we have a direct
Live now you can actually talk people um, moses
yeah
like
How many like you read how many preachers would say that it's okay to tell god when you're frustrated
I don't know about money. Okay. How many people will say it's okay to rant at him. It's okay to second guess him

(43:00):
Moses said do you really want to destroy?
These people get back i'll fix the wipe them out. Whoa
Whoa, are you sure about that? You're pretty angry right now?
I was I don't know
there's not

(43:20):
I don't know like you the modern church is so twisted that nobody
Nobody really has their own beliefs anymore. I feel like nobody's at their own
Nobody's looked back enough and experienced life to say this is my beliefs. It's in my convictions

(43:40):
You're not taught to have your own beliefs and only convictions anymore
You're taught to shut up and regurgitate and that's in the seminaries
Most of them that I've had experiences with that's in like a lot of churches
That's in the theology of all the different denominations
The first time I've heard any pastor in a long time mentioned that
You you're a brother or sister in Christ if you believe Christ died and raved again from spirit

(44:07):
It doesn't matter what your denomination is and that's Wednesday night
Is he Andy? Yeah, yeah, brother. Brother Andy, you know
Was he specifically mentioned that and that's what a lot of people get because like I grew up Pentecostal
And then also went to a non instrumental like patriarchal grandfather was the head of the church church
Oh dear and then I also went to southern Baptist. I went to first assembly of God like I'm talking about

(44:32):
Pop's church or whatever. Yeah, Papa's church was very interesting. They believed that
my brother
um, we won't say his name, but like uh, we we've had some interesting relationships with him over the years
But like he used to try to debate bible with me and like the way papa had taught him was
that revelations was a hundred percent complete

(44:54):
All bible prophecy was fulfilled
And like after a couple years of finally just like I got to the more I was like, okay
I can't debate you anymore
And I asked him I said we can debate again and we can move forward when you can sit down and explain to me
How this is the new heaven and earth and everything is perfect
Could he? No, and we haven't debated the bible since and it's that was

(45:17):
Good lord
18 years ago
Okay, that's another one of the what you've been taught
Yeah, and that's the thing people aren't taught. I was blessed to be raised. I think we've raised you guys like this
You can't live on my belief in my faith
I can't teach it to you and give it to you. You have to go out and learn it for yourself

(45:39):
I think there's a certain like
There's a certain happy medium of being
Christian parents
And in a sort because like
A lot of people talk about giving their children the choice to go to church at such a young age
And in my opinion at such a young age, you can't make that decision for yourself

(46:01):
So like, you know, bring your two-year-old to church. It's not going to hurt them at all, but you know
Understand that there's a balance between everything and don't like
Push so hard your beliefs and religion on your children and let them make their own
How many times did I take the time over the years to break down?

(46:22):
And even though like you guys hate lifting to me and your mama even rolls her eyes at me a lot of times
Like I will break down why something's important or not
If we're listening to someone like my favorite a lot of my favorite musicians are like
Like what I'll tell you like they had a you know, this is the stuff they did in their life
This one died of this this one died of that, you know, this one died from this like this is

(46:43):
I've never lied to you guys about society and people even my own mistakes. Like I was a drunkard and freaking alcoholic workaholic like
It's people make mistakes and do stupid stuff
Put at the same time for like Christianity like Christ come to a broken world
And he didn't like when the woman at the whale like when she come up to him, he wasn't like, you know, hey

(47:06):
You know, you probably shouldn't be sleeping around with these men. He was like you're banging everybody in town
Like if you transfer the language over like he didn't he didn't sugarcoat anything. He's like you slanging it to everybody
It's and you're doing it to fill a hole in your soul
You're doing it to try to get this thing that you're missing like I have that for you if you want it
But he didn't approach her and do this

(47:28):
You know real sweet. Let's ease into things. He was like, yeah, you're you're a freaking hooker
But
Still like and I still want to ask for you. I think
The cool thing is like a lot of people knew who Jesus was but he never
I know it's hard for people to do this, but it's like he never got the
I'm popular so you can't talk to me like uh

(47:50):
Zacchaeus
Yeah, all the people were saying oh, Zacchaeus is this guy Jesus doesn't want to talk to him
Jesus doesn't want to be around because he was God on earth and
Exactly. No, it's it's like it's hard to believe
They got to the earth if people are famous or popular. They think they're on a higher level than everyone else. Yeah, but we're all still human
It doesn't matter how much money you make

(48:13):
You're not better than everyone else because you think you are but society kind of teaches you to be compartmentalized
It teaches you to only rub elbows with those of your own age
intelligence race like
Look at the school system
Yeah, look at the school system. Yeah
Like what does the public school system do?

(48:36):
terrible
What is it it makes you clicky?
It teaches you to stay in your own group
Teachers staying in your own group teaches you to obey authority regardless of what comes out of their mouths
It teaches you to be scheduled
You can go to the bathroom in between classes
Every two and a half hours when that bell rings is when you are allowed to have five minutes to do things like go to the bathroom

(48:58):
You learn this at this time and you do this at this time because I told you to the entire public school system was designed
To make better factory workers had nothing to do with teaching you anything. Well, that's why I suck at factory work
Yeah, homeschooling doesn't make you go to factory work. Well, there's like do things at the same time. See in my opinion, there's a

(49:19):
I think parenting has been twisted and the stuff like that the ought never speak against authority the no back talking
Uh-huh. I think that's all a way of saying don't speak against authority because I think there are sometimes you should be able to talk to your parents
and be up front with them
You have to have a balance

(49:39):
Like anytime you guys had trouble with anything we did you guys are allowed to talk to us
Not you
No, it depends on how you talk to me if you can come to me and your mother will attest to this for me
If you can come to me and present a calm logical argument
I'll listen and debate anything with you
But if you come to me and you're hysterical and you're snappy and you're disrespectful. No

(50:04):
It's all in how you approach people
Like if you if dealing you've worked with me a lot Malachi's worked with me a lot
99 of the time I do not say go do this
I say hey, could you do that for me?
I'm still telling you to go do it, but I'm just giving you enough respect to say hey
This is what we need as a team of people working getting stuff done. You're asking slightly nice

(50:29):
Yeah, nobody wants to be bossed around
But if you feel like your acts of being helpful, I would love it when my bosses are coming to me
Hey, could you get this done for me? It's like where I work. I'm kind of like the boss
I don't like bossing people around because there are people over the meat feels weird. Yeah, I know how you feel
I was in the same situation. I was a blindly, you know dispatcher 19. So like it's just so

(50:52):
like
I got like a
40 maybe year old and like a 30 year old and they act like
Six graders and fourth graders don't do a little not really you're lucky then because I had a bunch of like 40 and 50
year old women and men that acted like toddlers
No, I can tell the 30 year old I can bro
I can ask the 30 year old like hey, do you mind going get that back for me? He knows what to do. He's been around for a while

(51:18):
No, I'm 19 year old and I had a bunch of them that would like my experience towards the end was really weird
Because we had a bunch of people my age that like I mean this was when I'm
Early 30s 32 33 somewhere in there. It's like the people my age 30s to 40s. Yeah, would be in any
And then we'd get the teenagers that would come in there like these are kids that had programs that through high school

(51:42):
They left high school at 230 and come to work and work till 10. Right? They're pulling triple production
Why do we still not have that? We do you got to have a license first. They're in there happy
They're ecstatic and a lot of them are coming from homes. They're like I would talk in their home lives were terrible
Yeah, but they were like I don't want to be like I don't want to be like I don't want to be like I don't want to be like

(52:06):
I don't want to be like that. I want to make something of myself
And I'd be like it doesn't matter how much I got to work
How much I got to grind you you go over there like hey you want some advice on like how to drive that tommorow
How to like handle materials a little faster speed you up a little yeah, give it to me
Loved it. That's you get the 35 40 50 year old people in there and be like
Head woman one woman. I used to have to talk into working

(52:29):
I have there right now. She's uh, is she a drunkard? I don't know. I don't talk to her much because she gets on my nerves
She's like a 40 something year old maybe she works with a 21 year old
The 21 year old works better than her. Uh-huh if she watches this, I'm not sorry
What's your camera look at? Yeah, just don't say her name. You're fine. Yeah, I won't

(52:51):
But yeah, like we have one woman
She'd come in and she'd be drunk all the time. He was a phenomenal machine operator
I mean the machine's rated at 110,000. She'd run 180 190 thousand marks a night
Like she just blow the wheels off his thing. Oh drunk. Oh, yeah, a lot of my employees were high like I'll just be honest
I wasn't what they were when I probably was drunk back then but like that's besides the point

(53:14):
But she come in one night and she's hung over his head
Like you can smell the whiskey coming from her when she walks in the door just coming out of her pores
And she's like Andrew. I just don't want to work tonight. I'm right
What I'm gonna say, you know such and such I don't want to say her name
I mean, uh, you feel great. She's like, wait a minute. I do

(53:37):
I said, yeah, you feel phenomenal. You feel like you are going to run record production
You're going to blow the wheels off this machine. You come in here tonight to be the best operator this place has ever seen
and she's like
Yeah
Yeah, I did
she hit
I think like a 175% production for a 10 hour shift in like six

(54:01):
Then she come over there to me like dragging like this and she said, Andrew, I think you lied to me
So we're gaslighting
Yeah, and I said, no, Kathy, I didn't you've done what you did relax the rest of the night
Like when I first took over my room, I told him I was like, I don't care what you do
Like I don't care if you talk to other machine operators
I don't care if y'all you get together like you have back-to-back machines

(54:24):
It's like I don't like if you both go because everybody broke everybody out
Like if I went on break, you would run both our machines
I was like if you want to take our breaks take our breaks as long as you and your partner swap out and you all are fine with it
You can still run the machines
Do it you want to run your machine naked as long as nobody complains
I don't care as long as we get production

(54:46):
We get quality and I'm not constantly having crap sent back to us. That is all I care about if I can do anything for you
Let me know what I can do to help you achieve your job
We run like they had number boards up for first and second shift because there was only two shifts
10 hour shifts supposed to be four days a week, but it was like seven days a week 12 hours a day

(55:07):
But they put number boards up
And they were like, this is the number you can't reach it
Well, we blew it out of the water by 150,000 and you're like, well, you'll never reach this new number
We blew it out about you know by 100,000
and then
day shift never caught up with us
And so like then the number boards disappeared and then I come to find out that day shift was counting four machines that we weren't counting

(55:29):
And then the morning meetings went from
Girl, we gotta do something about all this production, you know to hey, you know, how are you guys going?
How's your weekend going? Can we do anything to help, you know, this or this or this like
I explained to my crew that like if we do quality and we do production and we do it on a consistent basis
You can have a bad night or two. Yeah. Well, like as long as we do a consistently good job of reaching our production

(55:53):
Management will not bother you
But management will also be more prone to helping you
It's like when I went to my management said I need this this and this I was the only dispatcher there
That had the authority to walk in his room and say I need them out of my room
Don't have to fire
But put them somewhere else
I could walk in someone else's room and say I'm on them

(56:16):
Because it's it's expensive
It's it's very very hard to making on one parent working. I know but today society is is
You did all that for nine dollars an hour. No at this time. I was making 15
You did all that
It's $5 an hour

(56:37):
15 this was this was the second factory the first factory. I was making 925 an hour. That's the one where I was making 925
I worked 14 to 15 hours a day seven days a week. Yeah, I was a temporary employee
During the entire 11 months in like 20 days. I worked there almost pulling 11 29 like it was a sentence or something, but

(56:59):
I had what two days off
Two days off while much I was being born
And by the third month of me being there the supervisor would come in and ask me what was going on
They wanted they wanted me to move to they were moving from Shevaville to Lewisburg

(57:20):
The plant manager himself come and talk to me and he said hey
I really need you to go to Lewisburg with us and I'm like well. I need to get hired all
Because I mean it can't lie. I was making a thousand something dollars a week
But I mean guys in there making three times my pay doing half the work
I'm doing so, you know
Looking at making a thousand dollars a week is good money versus I could have been making four or five thousand dollars a week

(57:42):
And doing the same work
So I was like get me hired on
And he was like I can't do that right now
And they're going to cut your pay to seven 25 an hour
And I was like first of all no
And second of all like if you don't have the power to get me hired on if you personally want me to go
Your position is just like a palm position. You have no real power

(58:06):
and third of all no
Smart decision and that's when I got the phone call from a buddy who had moved to the the second one
you know facility we was talking about and
His boy was that one you were working at calcine. Yeah, that was calcine to begin with and then samford
um, I called samford and they were like hey, uh

(58:28):
A friend of yours started working here used to work with you and he recommended you and one other guy
And they were like could you be at orientation next week?
I'm like, uh
Yeah
And so like I did my orientation and halfway through my orientation. They brought me an application
They were like, we're gonna need you to fill this out real quick. You know, you've already got jobs

(58:49):
But like we do need your information. So like most of the positions I've ever had it's been someone
I don't really have to work hard to get work when god wants me to work
How much did you ever make it samford?
Because you you got a higher paid. Did you not yeah my top out before I left was like 1960 and higher

(59:10):
I still and that took me 12 years to get to and then your mama goes to work because my back's jacked up and like
Within a year. She's like higher position making more than I ever did. See here's what I'm thinking
Why did you do so much and not say give me more money put me in a higher position?
I didn't want to sell my soul

(59:32):
It's not selling your soul
Oh that with that company. Yeah
If you were a company put it this way of one year I worked two years in one
If you figured me working 40 hours a week without a day off for two years solid, that's the hours I put in in one year
I made
15,000 more that year than my supervisor did my supervisor was there the whole time I was

(59:57):
He didn't get paid overtime. The only salary pay they did there was salary
Which was exempt which means you didn't get paid overtime if they told you you made 60,000 a year you made 65 a year
65 a year their pockets weren't deep enough if I'm going salary for them
I was like I want six figures and it better be high
And they they tried to give me to go salary once until I told them that and they were like, uh

(01:00:18):
I was like, oh, you could do me salary non-exempt. You pay me for my overtime. I work 100 hours a week
I want to get paid for 100 hours a week
So I do overtime
Yeah, but think about all that overtime you're working think about if you didn't get paid that
If they based your pay on 40 hours a week, right? It wouldn't suck if they were paying you

(01:00:39):
You know if they expect you to work 80 hours a week base your pay on if they expect you to work 80 hours a week
Go salary. That's fine
But I seen a lot of people get screwed over
Like we figured his his payout that year and my payout that year I averaged like
$25 an hour on a $17 an hour job
Yeah, he averaged $5 and 20 cents an hour

(01:01:00):
Yeah, I'm supposed to be a $40 an hour job
I can't do that. I don't I don't know what it is
I've always told mine
I pretty much always told like
My first boss I like was very adamant about a race ever since I started
Yeah, and he was like, okay every year. I'll give you a dollar raise every time you order. I'll give you a dollar raise

(01:01:24):
Until I made it to $9 an hour and he said until you get your license. You're not getting a raise
Like, okay, you know, I'm not really it's not like I'm doing like hard work like I'm like giving my soul or anything
I worked like three days a week. It's not that big of a deal
And then I quit working for him and most everybody else I work for is $15 an hour

(01:01:46):
Yeah, I work for $5 an hour because the first time I went to Adams
I we drove down there and you had told me I was gonna start just like
Apprenticing basically just going up there. Yeah, I told him not to pay you and uh
We're on the way back and he goes by the bank. He hands me like $275
And I'm like, what's this for? He said we don't work for free

(01:02:07):
I was like, oh, he's like, I don't he said my employees don't work for free
Yeah, but see there's times that I'll go to help him just because I'm bored. Yeah
And and he'll be like, well, I'm like, you know, I'm just I'm here because I'm bored and like
I don't have any work. I don't have the money to buy the stuff. I want to work on
So like I can go over there and do it's like he's a welder and fabricator
I can go play with his stuff and help him get some work done. Yeah, but also relieve some of my like I start getting stir crazy

(01:02:32):
So
And but like one time when we went with him, we didn't do nothing. Yeah, the trailer was drove. Yeah
And then the next week he was like, hey, how many hours do you work the other day?
And I'm like, I didn't I didn't work the other day and he was like, yeah, we went to do them like, yeah, but we didn't do anything
Yeah, man. He just sat and talked in the truck for like an hour. It was like, but you were still on my clock because we were supposed to be doing stuff

(01:02:54):
And like he made me let him, you know
Made me take the money but like at the same time I like did I didn't do nothing
Look, that is the best job I've ever had. I've ever had which was right around for about two hours and that's all we did
I got paid for. Oh, are you talking about the cutting wood? Yeah
What was that at? What did you do just cut trees down for the military?
No, no, this was before that before we went to that. Oh, we were going around looking at different jobs

(01:03:18):
Some some other things we just drove around all day and I got paid for it. It was awesome
Sometimes it is it depends on who who your boss is
He was all right
It depends on if you like your boss if you're like, oh, we were hanging out
Because your boss is a good dude and you're like, you know, I have to pay me because we were hanging out
Your boss is a taut. You're like, yeah, pay me

(01:03:39):
I want your money
Yeah, I want there are people that you're hanging out with and there are people that you're not
Yeah, it's like I'm here because you said you would pay if you weren't giving me money
I would not be that's like the time I went with uh, mr. Neil
And all I did was setting his truck
All I did was setting his truck and drove it around to cut on lights for him

(01:04:00):
I mean, I didn't really need to get paid for that dude. I played on my phone until I saw you come out
I went and turned off the lights turned them on you let me drive your
$100,000 truck like it was a go-kart. Mm-hmm
But like I've never been so
Your mama never understood
How much help it was just standing there and waiting to hand me a ranch or a socket

(01:04:24):
Yeah, until I had gallbladder surgery and then I mean the only thing I could do
Because she wouldn't let me do anything was sitting the chair and hand her tools
Whether she quickly realized like how freaking helpful it is
To when your arms shoved under an engine or you're laying on your back under something for someone
You just hand you the tool and not like that five minutes every time you do something

(01:04:45):
It's huge. It really depends because like okay, you asked me for a tool
I'm gonna even if I don't know the name. I'm gonna say what is that you're gonna explain it to me
I'm gonna go get it
None of my sisters can do that except for angel
Tessie cam
Ali looks at you. What what's that?
You don't know what a crescent wrench is
Going the toolbox and start bringing me things. Yeah, I'm with them. I'll throw them at you every time. It's also the different terminology

(01:05:11):
That like because depending like if you're working with me, you're either I'm either gonna call it a socket
A vice grips. I'm gonna call it 42 different names
Like I'm gonna go give me the jiggler. You know, that's
There's a there's one thing I remember really hitting I was doing cdm
I think was cdm. No, it was stupid test. It was fcs. Yeah, you know what I remember this

(01:05:35):
It said, uh, I spent uh, you had a time limit for the thing
But I spent 90% of the time we had looking for the wrench
Because she showed a picture of a well, no, I was looking for a crescent wrench because she showed a picture of a crescent wrench
I spent the entire time looking for adjustable wrench or crescent wrench

(01:05:56):
Never once I saw a wrench on there never once did I think that's a wrench because that's not a wrench
So I was scanning through this and she said oh, it's right there. It's wrench. I said no, that's wrong
I remember that because I was I did this thing. I think it was a pair of channel locks. No, it was an adjustable wrench
That's a crescent wrench exactly
They had a wrench written down
I was doing the same thing me and Dylan sat there everybody got it wrong

(01:06:20):
Well, pretty sure most of the girls wrote it down, but me and Dylan and your kids
were like that's not right and we sat there and we looked at this paper
And then she goes by and then I even went and asked I asked several adults. I asked brother Jonathan
I asked you all of you said that's a crescent wrench and I was like, yeah, I know
I've got stupid four H's. I remember I hated that

(01:06:43):
Well, that's like the ass fat that people take for the military stuff like I know a lot of people that like just
Freaking bombed it
Bombed it, but it's like a lot of practical knowledge Phillips flathead screwdriver like it's you know, like how do you bomb that?
It's it's not hard to do. There are people that aren't exposed to things
Like there are you know, is that annoying?

(01:07:06):
My straw fell out. There are parents
That when they're worried about their kid running something in 1920 is because they haven't taught their kid to freaking do anything by 1920
Like I had somebody fussed at me one time when you were running a chainsaw
Granddaddy. No, not granddaddy
I can't remember where we were at. We were cutting

(01:07:28):
I think we were just cutting trees somewhere because I used to love going and cutting trees and chopping wood for no reason
but
Uh, I had you sawing it up for me and you weren't 1112
Yeah, and they were like you're gonna let him run a chainsaw and I'm like
Yeah
Well, who's awful young and I'm like
so

(01:07:49):
I've taught him to run a chainsaw. I'm like before you fuss. Why don't you just watch him for a little bit?
And then I was so dangerous of the chainsaw. No, no you you set up
There's the you he had set himself up. He was doing this right here
And he's like, what's he doing? I'm like, he's making sure that if it falls through with that control of him and it swings
It won't hit his leg and he was going through safety steps and getting ready

(01:08:13):
And then he started cutting and then he followed everything to a tee like the one time in his life
He's actually been safe. He was perfect. Well, there's uh, you should see and the guy was like, well
He looks like he knows what he's doing. I'm like, yeah, because I took the time to teach him
Well, like there's a one time I was in uh, I was at sand us because you know how rocky his field was in the back
Oh, you couldn't do anything back there, but I was

(01:08:36):
I
Was in a I was in between a tree and a rock so I couldn't move
And that was the first time I did ever I'd ever had a chainsaw grab my pants
And that that was pretty scary because I was like
And like, you know, I instantly looked down and was like, dang did that did I just lose my leg?
Did I just cut my leg?

(01:08:57):
But that was the first time I had ever had the chainsaw grab my pants
And I remember we were at grandaddies one time and we were cutting the tree up at the top
And I was running it and he was
He was real. He's a real anxious part. He was like he wasn't worried about much people, but he worried about us
His grand oh, yeah, I could have flopped off a cliff head first a giggle
People like the grandkids. He'd be like, don't let him do that. Don't do that. Me and my dad

(01:09:22):
We're really dangerous. We train souls. You've seen me and Aaron
Well, Aaron's like the he's dangerous, but it's like
Aaron's the redneck savant that's like you know, he's gonna
That's what I'm saying. He's gonna juggle the chainsaws
All the trees are gonna fall perfectly and he's gonna be standing in the middle sipping tea for some reason
I don't know what well, see, I'm a if you get him on the palm of weight. I'm gonna wait for him him to tell the story

(01:09:46):
He's better at it
But he's gotten close to cutting his I think I actually actually did
Grabbed his leg like you did. Yeah, it's not hard. It just pulled. That's all I did
And that's the thing like I've always impressed on y'all. I was like, I don't care how long you've been doing it
The the key to staying alive and coming home with all your limbs is paying attention

(01:10:08):
Do not get lax
Wasn't there a time I was out there with y'all and y'all thought I was about to get hit by a log or something
That's me there. Yeah, I felt like there was one time and y'all were like freaking out and I was like, what?
I don't know if the tree had fallen y'all I was because I always stayed in the bed and stacked for you guys because you
Suck it stuck. I don't have a lot stuck. Oh, since since you yeah, you've done enough logging to understand this

(01:10:29):
I'm logging with my grandfather
And uh, our buddy or one of our employees tim, right? Okay, tim or
motorcycle boots
Up to here still shanks on all sides so that he could bounce that chain off his knee if he needed to okay
Tim went in you heard the chainsaw rev up
and it did not stop

(01:10:51):
Until it run out of gas and then your butt would be in there picking up 100 posts. I hated logging with tim
So tim's over here. We knew to stay away from tim. Okay, my uncle mike is in the other place, right?
And he was wanting a gatepost
And I don't know why this man if you said gatepost he wanted to get a cedar that looks like a 55 gallon drum

(01:11:14):
And it's 50 foot tall so that we could bury it 40 foot in the ground to hold up a 400
You know pound gate at the most
But that's what he wanted. So he was going after it. So pop all's walking around and I'm just following him
At this point in his life. He's turned there 100% black
So I hear
I didn't even know mike was over there

(01:11:34):
and I look up and here comes a tree
And I turn around around
And pop all's just standing there and it's like coming like this like gonna hit us
And I'm like run
He can't see shit. He doesn't even know a tree's falling and he says why?
And so I grab him and just pick him up and run with him

(01:11:56):
And then I finally see a tree and I like stop against the tree and it falls and hits in the top of the tree
That we're against and I'm like we just about died and he's like, hey
Go bother and I'm like, gosh being blind must be awesome
Must be at that point
I mean, especially at that age
Yeah, I mean it still sucks being blind, but like, you know a lot of stuff like he's hit me with a backhoe bucket

(01:12:21):
We'd be digging footers. I wouldn't get out of the way quick enough
They get close to you just jump you learn you learn that very quickly working with him and his kids
Oh get out of the way. Yeah the equipment's gonna win. Yeah, and uh
It's like there's one person I've had really just yell at me and it's you know, they're not doing it because they're mad

(01:12:42):
They care about you and that's uncle Mitchell. Yeah, if he gets stern with you
It's because he's worried about you and it's not because he wants to be the big boss
Like Mike would do it. It's because he wants to make sure you're safe and he's safe
Yeah, he wants everybody go home safe and that's like the one time me and him got confused and he yelled at me
that was a little misunderstanding but

(01:13:03):
He said we were gonna pick up
As many as we needed left and then he picked up the whole pile
And my brain was like what is happening and then he got out and he was like, I said we were picking up the whole pile and I'm like, what?
But I it's like he's one of the people that can yell at me and I'm not mad at him for it because
I wouldn't be that guy. Yeah, it's just he

(01:13:23):
It's a different level of respect to different personalities. Yeah, it's just it's how they treat you how they interact with you
Like everything because he can yell at you and then two seconds later your work can fine
All right, Dylan
You had a subject that we did not talk about at all, but now that we're wrapping it up and we're getting towards the end
Probably next episode we talk about it more. No
But like what like I don't even know how to start

(01:13:46):
Yes, you do
I was looking at this
So I was not
No, I've been I've been looking at it since
Probably the game came out and all that
Like wanting to play it
He played a little bit
I'm too much of a baby

(01:14:06):
What too much for a baby to play the game. So what is it?
No, that's a produce. Okay. It's do you not know the basics of the game?
I'm I could tell you I know how it works. It's
evil kids
Chuck E cheese
Not evil kids. Is it evil kids? They're killing people. I don't care if they died animatronic

(01:14:27):
I don't care if the kids were innocent when they died if you inherit animatronics and murder people
You're now evil. Yeah, okay. I want like so it's evil children in the game. This is a kid's spirits
I can't remember what you mean in the game. Is it kid's spirits?
The animatronic. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Now when you're playing the game. Are you the kids or the no, you're the you're a

(01:14:49):
Security guard while it depends on the game. So you're playing Nicholas Cage's character. Sure. I don't know
Which okay, look up the name of that. Hang on because in the one you were working on the animatronics
That's not the security. Which one is that?
I don't know you were playing five nights of Freddy one time and you were like you were working on them
Like they were in front of me. I was talking to him. Okay. You were no you were working on you were fixing

(01:15:13):
Yeah, I might have been sister location
I can't remember you were working on the animatronics. You're like putting batteries in on the mic putting them back together
I
I remembered okay, so you're the security guard. Well, if you if you go by theories you're the
Child murderers son

(01:15:35):
What
Okay, so you're the guy that worked at the funhouse place
Okay, for all the people who watch the new five nights at Freddy's movies anybody listening for YouTube
There is one called willies wonderland
Okay, I've heard about 2021 with nicolas cage
That is what five nights of freddy should have been

(01:15:56):
That is an awesome rendition of the five nights of freddy. John. Yes. It is phenomenal
It's I don't know when you dig deeper into five nights of freddy. That makes you scared of chucky cheese
Yeah, chucky cheese was horrifying. Yeah, anybody would ever thought that yeah, they're like kids love animatronics
And they're like every movie will put out an animatronics gonna kill somebody

(01:16:17):
See, I remember when finals freddy became like popular and I was going to every chucky cheese like oh
There it smells in there like we're gonna stay over don't have to worry about it
Like you don't have to start being paranoid to get to frinnick
But it's at the same time. It is creepy to see when when those eyes blink so perfectly. It's like
Yeah

(01:16:38):
Are you a child?
Stay away from me. But yeah, but the the key is like the five nights at Freddy game
Yeah, like you're you're the security guard. Yep, and you're trying to shut the animatronics down. I would assume
You're trying to help them kill the kids. No
So your job as security guard is
First night, of course, you don't know they don't tell you

(01:17:00):
So
Did you get paid? I think 120 dollars just in one day
Did you keep on coming back for some stupid reason? Because there's like six nights
It's depending. Yeah, see that's not like we would you take a million dollars to work in this graveyard?
Yeah for a million dollars. I put it with a lot of wickets
For 120 bucks. I don't know if there's pizza involved sure

(01:17:25):
I don't think so. It's
Personally, there's no insurance. No discounts. No nothing just
In the game you're doing what because like if your job's not to save the kids and not to kill the kids
What's your purpose?
Try to make sure nothing gets stolen even though i'm 100 sure nobody's gonna steal anything
So
Are there kids that come in?

(01:17:45):
Do you have people try to break in during the game? No, it's legit you night time and
Mainly mainly four animatronics, but sometimes five that are trying to kill you. Yes
They're trying to kill you. That's the first game after that. There's more
There's like six seven different games, but how's that terrifying?

(01:18:11):
I mean, it's really not the only one that scared me was uh the fourth one. I didn't like that one
Okay, like I could understand it like I love mark tufo and all the zombie apocalypse books and his series and stuff
But like he's got a like series called timothy
that is
From the mind of a zombie clown
That still has some of his mental faculties and he wasn't all there to begin with

(01:18:37):
And he's like a six seven x-foot balls on be clean. Yeah, and it's
I didn't listen all them. That's I was like i'm out
That's yeah, so is it like that type of game?
Japanese american or korean horror level
For which one the first record the one that scared you the fourth one

(01:19:05):
I forget which one's worse isn't japanese worse
Well japanese and korean are kind of like kind of time japanese is like i'm gonna mess you up for life
Koreans like i'm gonna mess up closets for life
I would say korean. Okay. Yeah, maybe because like the shining with the the old lady in the bathtub
And I watch the shining. Yeah, you know, it's in the shiny. No, I think you gotta watch the shiny the jack nicholas shining

(01:19:30):
it's it's a very
If you're not of like a big horror movie like
Because like my siblings watch horror movies to see blood and to see people get killed
Interesting if you they're violent if you watch if you watch horror movies and you understand horror movies like you understand
What little what's the name tim something like that the little boy?
Uh, timmy something like that. I don't know timothy something like that

(01:19:53):
But if you if you're watching it and you thinking oh dang
I feel timmy because he's seeing a bunch of crap everywhere. He's just a little freaking kid. His friend was tony
uh
I don't remember his name. It's been a while mama find it jack was the dad
Here's johnny. That's like my favorite part because it's like who's oh, it's that moving. Yeah, johnny danney danney. Yeah, yeah

(01:20:17):
yes
and like even watching the
What's the one after that?
Uh, doctor sleep. Yeah, doctor sleep was all right. Yeah, the book was pretty good. The book's a lot better
The movie was pretty good. I mean I didn't hate it, but
though what the
If you don't understand psychological horror

(01:20:38):
You can't you can't watch the shining and get scared
That's the the best horror in my opinion is the one that is not just slasher
And not just gore but the one that gets into your head like event horizon had a lot of slasher and gore
But event horizon gets into your head with the idea of what if you didn't know

(01:20:58):
Reality from not reality and what if you were messing with an entity that could show you things and all your deepest darkest
Sears secrets your greatest wants like one girl like they trick one woman into running off and like jumping into the thing
And like crushing herself because she thinks her son's there. That's dead. That's like what what?
I mean does uh
Who is it? Stephen King? Does he ever explain what jack actually happened to jack?

(01:21:23):
The hotel got a hold of him like like the hotel spirit. Yeah, okay
The hotel and the Stanley hotel that he stayed at. Yeah, I don't think he's still ever talked about
What happened there that inspired yeah, that's like what what like mary serves correct. I think he had a nightmare
Yeah, while he was staying in one of the rooms, but that's what I'm saying like he's never said what the nightmare was

(01:21:48):
Yeah
Because it's like
In the movie you see jack just starts going downhill very fast
I think it was already like in jack the shining jack had a little bit of the shining
But and that's like his his wife was not right at all. Well
I think it just looks very his wife looked like she'd been shooting dope since she was born

(01:22:09):
Yeah, that actor no offense. No offense. No offense. And the thing is I've seen that actor like outside of that movie
Yeah, and she's she's not a bad looking like she's not like drop dead gorgeous, but she's olive oil in the pop-eye movie
That's something that I've always um, okay, you guys have watched a lot of movies

(01:22:32):
No, don't you handshake me? Well, it's like it depends on what you're talking about. What?
No, just like movies in general. I don't care everything from hallmark to hollywood's greatest, right? Yeah
Chinese crap to south african knockoff movies
some of them are funny, but
As put yourself you work in the movie industry your job is recruiter

(01:22:54):
You are a scout
And you are like I don't know what that like the official name for the person that goes and finds the talent and brings in the
Like you're getting everybody cast the cast director probably
Yeah, but like the cast director
I think would be what it would be because like you're specifically looking for
Like they say we need this role
Okay, we need the beautiful hot lady that's going to be the adonis. We need the guy that's going to be the chisel guy, right?

(01:23:18):
All right, we need 16 hags
How do you approach like if someone come up to you and is like dude
I think you can I've got the perfect role for you. I'm an agent. I could represent you
We need the scuzzy homeless redneck
how much
Well that have you ever seen the how chris pratt got into acting no

(01:23:40):
some
Person just came up to him and was like
You know, you're pretty cute and you're funny
I need someone for a movie
Come out to
Hollywood and he was like or somewhere come out to this set and audition
And so he said he practiced the lines and he told her you're gonna need to be so and so and he's like I can't and he

(01:24:02):
And she just said honey, we'll get you the plane ticket
Like don't even worry about that because he was so broke. He's thinking
Yeah, I might even gonna get a plane ticket
But yeah, because I mean most of the time you're you you hear the horror stories and what's it happens a lot of people
dump on a crap ton of money into these promises and it's just a scam
And then you and then you like you think about it. What is chris pratt been in now?

(01:24:23):
I mean parks and recreation drastic world
I'm not right. Yeah, I mean, but I mean that
Guardians of the galaxy and a bunch of stuff. The thing is like a whole lot of your movie career your music career everything
Talent has a large part to do with it
But like
Whether or not you get known. I think it's all look

(01:24:45):
A large part of it is divine providence and luck in my opinion like you you have to have a certain amount of
understanding that there are people that grind
Harder than any of the most successful people you'll ever meet that don't make it nothing ever works for them
That's how a lot of streamers. I mean

(01:25:05):
Though a lot of streamers say there's nothing hard work and determination can't get you because jinx. He streamed
Every he missed two days in a year
He streamed every single day for five hours. He missed two days
And he he was streaming to one viewer his dad

(01:25:25):
I mean, that's that's the dedication. This is what I didn't stop like bottoms that bottles that like a beam like a
Expensive I think it was portion 11 portion 11
You like my my goal for this podcast is if people listen, it would be awesome if we make something of it
cool
But like if we can encourage four or five people to say hey, let's
You know, I want to get to know such and such better. Let's sit down have a conversation with you

(01:25:50):
Like let's let's talk to some people like there's so many people that are like the parents that I run into
They will talk about their kids and they're like, I just don't understand them and I'm like
How much time a week do you spend like just talking to them?
Is she telling us that we have five minutes to wrap it up
Well, there's like I think a cool thing is like a podcast always have famous people on

(01:26:14):
I want someone to walk down the roads and have a conversation with a dude in a convenience store and think
You're pretty cool. I want you to come on my podcast
And that's that's what we're gonna start doing
I mean I gotta have even if we have viewers and think about it
We have viewers people know who we are imagine
You're walking and you see a dude. You're like, I've seen him somewhere and he comes up. He goes come be on my podcast

(01:26:34):
Yeah, that's my goal. Like I won't normal people. I want to hear normal people live stories
That's like because most normal people's lives are way beyond extraordinary because I would like to do like because I work in the soup kitchen
I'd like to say you're doing community service. I want to know about your life come to come be on my podcast
And if we get even one or two more microphones, we'll need two more good ones at least

(01:26:59):
Like I want to start doing that
Because you meet like
You meet people
At the there are very greedy homeless people who get complacent with what you're doing
But there are people who come over there and they're like you say, what do you do you want this?
Sir, he says hey put it all on there. I'm just glad y'all are out here doing this for us. Thank you so much

(01:27:22):
Thank you. Put it up. Thank you for the food and it's like you can tell
Where's the homeless guy that looks at you like begrudgingly when you bring him five cheeseburgers
Yeah, and then there's the homeless guy that before you can turn around
He's eating four of them and you can hear the back crumbling up. Yeah, like he's and he's he's mumbling
Thank you for the food because he's hungry. He's actually needing he's yeah

(01:27:43):
That's I think a lot of homeless people get complacent whenever they are expecting you to give them food
Yeah, anytime you get to where you expect something to be handed to you just because of sanity
That's because a lot of people would come back. Oh, this chickens are all I don't want it. There was one lady saying
She she comes every now and then she's like
She's kind of awesome kind of annoying, but she's like she loves being at the soup kitchen

(01:28:05):
I haven't seen her in a while. She might be dead. I don't know, but
That's crazy. She would come and she'd be like quick complaining about the chicken man
I think it's great because Robert's a phenomenal cook. Yeah, whatever you take out of it, Robert can cook
I haven't talked to Robert in a while. We need to talk to him, but
Like she was telling everybody a quick complain about the chicken being wrong like just eat it man

(01:28:26):
Like yeah, it's not that big of a deal. You're homeless. He was wrong
No, it wasn't they were saying it was but like people misjudge. Yeah, they see a they see a muscle
That's red meat or that's still paint. You know, it's just you'd be surprised what you can eat and not die. You know, yeah
All right
Well, we got the producer over there fussing at some of the background. She doesn't want us going three hours this week
