Hello guys, welcome to OG and Their Remakes.
This is the OG and their remakes, the show where we asked
one question. Who wore it the better, the
classic or the cash grab? Movies and TV shows, if it's
been remade, rebooted or reimagined, we're judging it.
(00:26):
Sometimes the remake nails it, and sometimes it's a flaming
dumpster fire. Either way, we watched it, so
you don't have to. Let's get into it.
OK. So I'm Aaron.
I'm DJ. And today's fun time fun.
Time. So I was making some pasta stuff
(00:48):
the other day and I realized. So I took out my phone and I had
to Google it because I didn't want to repeat something that
somebody else might have said. And it's not on Google.
It's nowhere in Google. Nobody has come across this.
(01:10):
So I'm guessing there's very fewof us that know this little
secret. So for you very busy
individuals, especially single parents who are trying to hurry
up and do 50 million things at once.
What's the secret? So I was trying to make dinner
while you were napping so we could have stuff in the truck
(01:30):
without having to, you know, bypass food.
And at the same time, I was wanting to do a little bit of a
workout because multitasking is apparently something I cannot
get away from. Anyway.
So I had the water boiling for the pasta.
And I always use salt. I grew up using oil.
(01:52):
Oil does nothing but make a humongous mess.
Ever since I discovered what salt does, I use salt.
Salt keeps your pasta from sticking to itself.
All that crap. So I put the pasta in after it
got to boiling, put the pasta inand I turned it off.
(02:12):
OK, don't look at me like that. But why?
Because boiling water, even whenthe burner is turned off, it's
still cooking. So by the time I'm done actually
exercising, 1015 minutes, I go back and you stir it.
It's, you know, not sticking to itself and it's cooked just
(02:34):
fine. So if you're extremely busy, get
your water to boiling, turn it off, add your pasta and leave it
alone. Cover it.
You cover it because it keeps itfrom like you let all this,
yeah, you let all that steam outand it just makes, you know,
(02:55):
defeats purpose. But you cover it and then you
could walk away and it's not going to boil over.
It's it's going to continue to cook, right?
And you know, even if it's 1520 minutes later, oh shit, I forgot
about it. You go back and it's most likely
not much. How much salt do you put in
there? I've never measured it.
(03:16):
A couple teaspoons, tablespoons,that's that's about it.
OK, So it's not like we're making salt water for A50.
I know some people are going to be like.
Oh no, like porn. It's not like they're porn wine.
No, I didn't think about that. Yeah, sometimes you got to dumb
it down for some people, but. Pasta kind of tastes like my
(03:37):
fillings, a little salty. So today's episode is number 10
and which means it's our first bonus episode.
Bonus. Now, bonus episodes are not
necessarily extra episodes, they're episodes that I want to
(03:58):
do a little different. So we've been doing movies,
movies, movies the whole time. And now today we're going to
talk about ATV Show. And before that I figured we
might want to give you some if for those of you that have
listened this far, thank you so much for sticking around.
You guys are awesome. So I figured we'd give them a
(04:21):
little background. I know we mentioned we were
truck drivers, but not everybodyassumes you've done anything
besides the truck. Driver.
That's all I did. I drove truck.
So, but we're going to start with how we met, which we tell
everybody was in prison. It was in prison.
(04:46):
And that face that everybody's making right now is why we say
that that way. Where'd you meet your wife in
prison? Yes, before you all start
freaking out and I'm probably sure that we probably lost a few
people, we were both working andin prison.
(05:08):
Neither one of us have ADC number so that's a good thing.
No, just means we haven't gottencaught anyway.
Right, right. All that one out there.
So we both have military backgrounds, both army, you you
you decide to play with. Fuel.
(05:30):
Yeah, I drove a fuel truck in the Army, which is actually kind
of similar what we're doing now far as career wise.
The only real difference is we're hauling food.
This time I was hauling, I was hauling about 2500 gallons worth
of rolling bomb, I mean fuel. And she decided to become an MP.
(05:51):
For those of you that don't knowwhat MP is, because my best
friend did not until I explainedit to her as military police.
She'd be the Popo. Now in the same instance, OK,
back then before 911, there was combat MP and there was law
(06:12):
enforcement. MPI chose before they mingled
everything all together. I chose the combat in because I
did not want to have to tell which.
I ended up doing it anyway, justin a combat situation.
I did not want to have to chase down Colonel's wives, general's
wives who thought they were above everybody because their
(06:35):
husband had a status and I just wasn't going to deal with it.
And I mean, I remember living onpost, and let me tell you, some
of those M PS on post, it's not that they had a God complex, but
they realized that a trailer park still lives in on post
housing. Yeah.
So no matter what kind of house you lived in on post, you can
(06:56):
take the people out of the trailer park, but you cannot
take the trailer park out of them people.
Right. I'm just I've seen it.
Yeah, I was an Army brat and we lived on post a couple times and
temporarily, like we moved to anarea like when we went to Fort
Stewart or Fort Hood and they and before we could actually get
(07:20):
a house, they'd put us on post for a little bit.
And then when our stuff arrived,they'd have a have for us.
And yeah, I, I can tell you, Yeah, that's, that's that's
right. Even though you know, my stepmom
still tried to act like she was from high class.
(07:45):
So you know, you, you have people that.
That does that. I can't say that the best place
I lived in the military was probably at Fort Riley.
Port Hoover was nice, Port Drum was nice.
But the housing, we got a brand new house.
Like they were still doing construction on it.
(08:07):
And I'm not saying I stuck in through the back window.
Go take a look at it. We got our keys, but it was so
new. You still had dust on the
counters from where they were going in the cabinet top.
They still had carpet remnants everywhere.
I mean, we had a brand. Brand new.
Brand new. I love this, but I did learn
(08:30):
something while I was in Kansas.And what's that?
They have tornado shelter in most of their houses.
I would imagine so. There's one room centrally
located like almost dead middle of the house, right?
And it's your bathroom. It's your half bath.
Just thinking of toilet, right? But it is a concrete lined floor
wall with a steel door that looks like a regular wooden
(08:53):
house door. This damn thing had three dead
bolts on it along with a regularturn.
So not only was it a safe room, but it's also your tornado
shelter. Damn, they were serious about
that shit. Let me tell you, if I had to go
poop, nobody can do it. I don't think I wanted to get
(09:15):
in. It was awesome.
But yeah, that's. Well, I joined the Army 11 days
before 9/11. Yeah.
And that was the day that I said, oh shit, what do I do?
(09:35):
I remember being in the backroomof Walmart of all places where I
work and receiving, and we knew the president was in Sarasota at
the time. It was like it is no big deals
whatever. Sometime between that morning
and before I went to lunch, I guess when the plane hit the
person to take a tower, I didn'tknow because like that we, we
(09:57):
were kind of cut off because we were in the background.
The next thing we hear is go outside and look, Air Force One
is flying overhead and he was flying low, like just above
Freetop. I mean, he was low, low.
Well, what the hell is this dudedoing flying this low?
Especially across Sarasota and Brainton because there's a lot
of private pilots on there and it just, it didn't really hit.
(10:21):
And then of course, when I get home for lunch, take my my hour
lunch, get home, turn on the NN and there it was.
Yeah. I mean that that's.
Do you remember where you were when this went on?
I was supposed to go meet my unit that day.
It doesn't say I did not go nowhere.
(10:42):
I was 17 when I joined, 18 when I went to basic because by the
time you make it into in peaceful you have to be 18
because of weapons and at 135 lbs I could barely do pushups
(11:03):
let alone anything else. I gained 10 lbs while I was
there. Still look anorexic like this
though. But my very first deployment,
which was Guantanamo Bay, that'sreally when I found out what I
(11:26):
was capable of at AT and it's really, it has a lot to do with
your training. I know a lot of people even even
when we're what what's good, What's the baseboard even I
(11:52):
forgot what I was saying. My brain went.
Well, poopy. I know right?
So Guantanamo Bay, that was interesting.
It was only supposed to be 6 months turned into a whole year.
And we were, we were toe to toe with ISIS, literally.
(12:22):
And I was the only female in my whole unit, the only female,
including Lieutenant captain, the only female that did not get
spit on or get anything thrown on.
I was the only female that was allowed to do whatever the hell
I wanted to for the sheer fact that I gave them a very small
(12:47):
amount of respect. Right I.
Didn't stare at them like they were animals as I walked by.
And you did the same thing in the prison, too.
Yeah, that. That's why you got so much
respect when you work. There and I was, the same way
every single day. Nothing changed.
So I took a little different route.
I didn't join the army till I was the 3rd.
I know. Yes, you, you were already an
old man. Third. 30, already had two kids
(13:09):
and the third one on the I was 30, about 30 something.
No, no. Yeah, I wasn't.
So while I was doing the Hoo Hoothing, you were.
I was doing popping. Out things popping out kids.
Right. And it was funny, too, because
all through basic AIT, which is advanced individual training,
(13:32):
even when I got to my first unit, I was older than everybody
else. That was kind of awesome.
Basically, when I look at my drill sergeants, they're like,
drop, start pushing. And I'm like, yes, you better
call me Sir. I'm older than you.
You push until I'm tired. Roger that.
(13:54):
Yeah. Army made me thrown a dumb ass.
If I sit wrong, that's what I did.
I was, Yeah. Yeah.
And then did a few other things before finally moving down here
to Florida. And you know, looking back, I do
not understand what possessed meto start with DOC here in
(14:18):
Florida. I really don't, other than I'm
not scared of a damn thing. It was the money, probably.
I mean, it was the money and thefact that you were doing less
work than what you were used to do.
And still ended up doing more work than usual.
Yeah, they're towards the end. No, the whole time.
That's why it got worse towards the end.
(14:41):
Yeah, because, because I remember distinctly, I was not
even certified yet and they had me doing the work of two or more
people because I was dumb enoughto send them all the information
on myself, because I wanted themto understand who they were
(15:01):
getting. Because every other job before
that I was told I was too mean, too strict to something, even
though all I did was my damn job.
The right way, the way it was supposed to be done did not
create a whole lot of waste. And I was just mean.
(15:22):
You know what they call it today?
You know what the kids call it today?
What extra? I was extra.
You was extra with a side. Effect, but it got the job done.
And then one day I went into work.
I was the yard Sergeant. And that day we were expecting
(15:44):
our first grandchild. And I was literally, I remember
literally I had my I was doing my rounds.
I had my cup of coffee in my hand and I just stopped and I
realized it was like a smack in the face.
I was either going to end up with my own DC number because
certain sergeants and officers and maybe some white shirt we're
(16:08):
going to get the ass whooping they deserve, or I would end up
6 feet under because the stress would make me blow my own head
off. Yeah.
And we lost a couple of good officers that we both worked
with. Because of that.
Because of that. So instead of that, because I
had captains telling me suck it up, I had sergeants trying to
(16:30):
say that they were over me even though they were sergeants and
I'm a yard Sergeant. So guess who's over who on that
one? I had female officers telling me
that I needed to be more feminine.
I had men Sergeant tell me I hadto be more feminine.
I'm sorry, but if you were more of a man, I wouldn't have to do
(16:51):
your job for you. Now what?
I. And it, I mean, there was a
whole and then I had, you know, that major, the certain major
that being a being an instructorwas not my job, but he wanted me
to be an instructor while doing my job and everybody else's job
at the. Same time.
So that day I turned all my stuff in and told them big fat
(17:16):
lice that my daughter had a doctor's appointment.
I fucking left. And then I texted my captain the
next morning and said I don't think I'm coming back.
And she discovered for me until major 2 weeks later decided well
we need it. She needs to make up her mind
what we're doing. OK, 2 seconds later they had my
resignation. So because I've seen this woman
(17:40):
on the compound, not only is shea bad ass and the way she
carries herself, she commands respect, but if you can imagine
Terminator with long hair, that's Aaron.
And I remember the first time I seen her like compound I said
I'm going to date her. I am and I chatted her up.
(18:03):
We were looking for a set of keys up one night and I chatted
her up for an hour and a. Half, yeah.
I didn't care what the hell we talked about, but after that
chat I I need to be with them. I need to.
And then when we got together I said I need to marry.
I asked her for almost 2 weeks straight every time I seen her
on the compound. Will you marry me?
(18:23):
She laughed at me and walked off.
And you got to understand, I went through a horrible divorce
where I was the bad guy in everysingle turn.
I thought it did not matter if it was with my ex or my family.
I was the worst person ever. I was the one that ruined that
relief, not the fact that he couldn't keep his pants on.
Or, you know, keep his Willy in his pants.
(18:46):
But you're the bad. Guy, but I'm the bad guy.
You're the you. You were the problem.
Yes. Never mind the the failing
zipper that won't stay up for the bug that just can't seem to
say chat. Or or the video chest that he
just has to get on. Oh my.
God, his GPS takes him to the wrong house every time he gets
home. What the hell?
Or the fact that he told me I need to work more even though I
was working 16 hours a day a lotso that he could be home more on
(19:11):
the computer. Yeah, he had to do the video
chat, Yeah. So yeah, I made him, made DJ
wait over a year for that first date because I was not about to
jump straight into something when I knew I wasn't ready,
right? I wasn't going to waste both of
our time. Right.
(19:33):
And then it wasn't very long after that first date, I looked
at you and I said, I don't want you to leave.
You stay right here. And I did.
I went and grabbed you. Yeah.
Oh my God. Now she's a girly girl.
Not completely. It's your fault.
But now she's wearing pink stuffand cheering around pink tubs
(19:55):
and it's. Your fault she's wearing.
Flowery dresses. Oh my gosh, it's amazing
dresses. It's your fault.
It's your fault. And I am OK with that.
OK. As long as you're OK with that.
Now let's get to the actual meatof this episode.
(20:15):
Yeah, we bored them enough. Yeah, well, we'll have more fun
fact our next on this episode, I'm sure.
So charm, the original was back in 1998 and it had eight
seasons, which is pretty awesome.
It was very, very popular, obviously to a lot of people.
(20:41):
Some people, like my wonderful husband, not so much.
I mean I like the, I like the the newer 1.
Yeah, we'll get to that. OK.
So it took place in in San Francisco, CA, I think in the
beginning of every episode in their opening, they have a
freaking Golden Gate Bridge every single time.
(21:07):
It was kind of weird watching itbecause you do have the phone
booths. It's a big, huge ass cell phone,
you know, and, and when they write on the back of an envelope
that they just happen to have laying around.
Yeah, because they had the back of the days.
That was our texting that. Was our e-mail.
(21:27):
Everybody knows about Piper, Prue and PB.
That it was it was very popular and it actually as it progresses
throughout the seasons you can see the the evolve the evolution
because my freaking words will come out right that's fantastic
(21:51):
the evolution of the cell phone because towards the end you have
more of what you got today rightbecause it's in the 2000 the.
IPhone one, yeah. IPhone, yeah, versus where it
started out at. And then the new charm came out
in 2018. It only has Four Seasons, which
(22:14):
is very upsetting for me becauseif you've seen all of the
original charm throughout these Four Seasons, you see
correlation, you know, crossover, and then it leaves
you hanging with this big ass like cliffhanger and there's
(22:36):
nothing after that. It has no plan on continuing at
all. But it takes place in Michigan.
The listen writers, if you're out there, you're listening to
this and you're writing for charm or you did get off your
after. I need four more seasons.
Give us four more seasons of thenew.
(22:57):
Guitar yeah and even though theycan't they they said that it was
a redo or reboot, it was more ofa continuation because in in
those Four Seasons you have the same thing one of the sisters
falls in love with a demon. One of the sisters passes away
(23:19):
one of the sisters. So you have all these.
They're very similar, but in oneof those episodes they pull out
a book full of names of former Charmed Ones.
And their names. Are in there and I did I'll have
to go back to see the actual episode and try to freeze it
(23:43):
because it gives you a couple clips but I'm not sure it might
have Piper crew and TV in there well.
That'd be awesome if it. Did yeah.
But it, I mean, it's, it's literally people who have come
before them who were the CharmedOnes.
So it's more of a continuation, not necessarily a reboot.
(24:05):
And see, I don't know a whole lot about the series or, or
whatnot, but I'm wondering, I'm just wondering this just me, I'm
wondering if the reboot started out as a reboot and then
somewhere between season 1 and Season 4.
So well, let's incorporate the original somehow that, you know,
(24:26):
to get people to connect to. Then by the end of the season,
it's it's morphed into its own thing where his own original.
Children, most likely because it's still, like I said, it
still has the three sisters, theoriginal three sisters, but
they're just, it just it happensdifferently.
(24:48):
Yeah, everything is pretty much the same, but in a different
order. Or it's more modern?
So it's almost like whoever produced the new version had a
great idea, and then it kind of more flexed it more from just
some things. Then I think they were into an
identity crisis. To them, they're like, where do
we go from here? Yeah.
(25:09):
Now having said that, like I said, I like to read paper.
Personally, I like the original.That's because it has more.
Right. Well, yeah, the reboot is not
bad. It's just like, especially that
last season, it, it's like they knew it was going to end, so
(25:35):
they hurried up and they threw all kinds of stuff in his last
season, which is great. It keeps it keeps it moving.
Yeah, but then it just ends. Just stops it.
Just ends and you're going, huh?Now what?
Well, see, the only, the only reason why I don't like the
original, it's not that I hate it.
I mean, I can watch it. I mean, I'll watch it with you
(25:57):
and it's wonderful to pass the time.
And if I'm going what I rememberthat I mean, it's an awesome
show to watch. I just remember growing up
during that time when I was on TV on a regular basis, but it
started out with what, 9O21-O? Then I went to Melrose Place,
somewhere in there was Dawson Creek and this.
(26:18):
And for me, now this is just me,but during that time frame, if
you've seen one show, same actors or not, doesn't matter.
You've seen The One Show. The next show was pretty well
similar to it. I think they're all done by the
same guy. And then if you're like me and
you don't watch all those other shows, and I just watched Charm
(26:42):
and that was literally after I was 20 years old, heaven forbid,
as a teenager. I like anything that has
anything to do with anything besides church.
So I didn't see all those other shows so it doesn't have that
(27:03):
whole this is boring feel to me.It wasn't really boring, it's
just to me, it's just it was like the typical 90s teen.
Drama they're not. Well I know this guys who
watched it in the 90s was a bunch of teenagers my age.
(27:25):
You're right. Seven years older than me. 717
to 19, we're watching this, OK, 15 to 19.
So let's face it, some 15 year olds look at Chin and daughter.
He's like, yeah, that's weird. But I mean that that was just
how we've seen it. And I have friends who were all
(27:47):
over all those shows, all those 90s TV shows, they were all
over. And I, I could watch one or two
episodes after that. She's like, OK, but now watching
it with you, it's a little different because you're filling
me in the stuff. And like, why are they doing
that? And you're filling me in
because, well, you know, I'm like, oh, OK, now that makes
(28:10):
sense. All that and I think you drift
off and then you come back to itand you're like, wait a minute,
what happened? Why are they doing that?
And I'm just looking at you likewell, if you watch it, good Lord
Bear. Hey, we know you're there.
Doll at tinkling was bare and his his holler.
Sorry guys, yes, sorry. He decided that we need to do
(28:33):
something besides sit here. I know dude, we're almost done
with the bonus episode, I promise.
He's very excited to be home, yes.
But yeah, that's it for me. I, I like to reboot.
I mean the 90s version is. Great.
They did a great job on the reboot.
They did they they got great actresses to do it that the
white lighter does. The guy that plays the white
(28:53):
lighter does a phenomenal job. And for those that listen to our
show and wants to put their two cents in, no, that does not mean
the 98 version of Charmed is outlawed or, you know, horrible.
(29:15):
Just because I like the reboot, OK, It's still good because it
how can you judge something? This is what I run into when I
talk to people that, well, I'm not going to watch that because
I like the original. How can you judge anything
without looking looking at it, reading it, watching it?
(29:37):
You can't, you can't say it's horrible because you like the
original. You're allowed to like the
original. You're also allowed to like the
reboot. There's still people walk around
with the original 1992 year serabrick style cell phone because
they like the original. Yeah, well, they also like the
paperweight there. Yes, yes.
(30:04):
So. But yeah, that's that's our.
That's our take, anyway. That's our opinion.
Yeah. Yeah, you don't like it?
So anyways, again, because I like to say it every single time
and I still get private messagesinstead of comments on the pod
(30:25):
comment follow. Like if you don't leave
comments, people that stumble across us won't know what's
going on and they'll just glide on by.
By the time this episode comes out, because this is number 10,
I will be looking at getting ourAmazon account set up.
(30:48):
Will be on Spotify and Amazon. Awesome.
I figured I'd start up the Amazon once I had more than a
couple episodes in there, right?So we'll hopefully reach a whole
lot more people. And definitely comment
everything from we can't stand the sound of his voice to my
God, I can't believe your watch that.
(31:10):
Believe me, we have very thick skin.
Most time we're probably going to read a lot of the negative
stuff and laugh. Most likely.
But that's OK though. Everybody, everybody can have
their own opinion. Absolutely.
So please subscribe, follow, comment, share with your friends
like you gotta listen to this video, yeah?
(31:32):
Share it on social media. Yes, yes.
If you guys have any ideas or suggestions or another bonus
episode or hey did you guys knowthat they made these two movies,
let us know. Yeah, because we're going on
right now, we're going based offof a print off of the top 50.
(31:52):
Just the top. That's just the top I I have a
whole print off on over 100 movies and shows that have
rebooted. So believe me, if you want to
hear something specific, let us know.
We'll see if we can't work that in.
Yeah. And just for an FYI, I did not
know this until the other day, and I told you I'm almost here
(32:13):
with everybody else, walking tall with the Rock and Johnny
Knock. I did not know there was an
original from the 1970s. Yeah, we're gonna definitely
gonna have to do that. One I had no idea none.
So there he goes people. What you useless information
that I just had to share with you?
Absolutely because well, I'll pull that all right, guys.
(32:33):
So until next time. Stay safe.
Hello guys, welcome to OG and Their Remakes.
This is the OG and their remakes, the show where we asked
one question. Who wore it the better, the
classic or the cash grab? Movies and TV shows, if it's
been remade, rebooted or reimagined, we're judging it.
(00:26):
Sometimes the remake nails it, and sometimes it's a flaming
dumpster fire. Either way, we watched it, so
you don't have to. Let's get into it.
OK. So I'm Aaron.
I'm DJ. And today's fun time fun.
Time. So I was making some pasta stuff
(00:48):
the other day and I realized. So I took out my phone and I had
to Google it because I didn't want to repeat something that
somebody else might have said. And it's not on Google.
It's nowhere in Google. Nobody has come across this.
(01:10):
So I'm guessing there's very fewof us that know this little
secret. So for you very busy
individuals, especially single parents who are trying to hurry
up and do 50 million things at once.
What's the secret? So I was trying to make dinner
while you were napping so we could have stuff in the truck
(01:30):
without having to, you know, bypass food.
And at the same time, I was wanting to do a little bit of a
workout because multitasking is apparently something I cannot
get away from. Anyway.
So I had the water boiling for the pasta.
And I always use salt. I grew up using oil.
(01:52):
Oil does nothing but make a humongous mess.
Ever since I discovered what salt does, I use salt.
Salt keeps your pasta from sticking to itself.
All that crap. So I put the pasta in after it
got to boiling, put the pasta inand I turned it off.
(02:12):
OK, don't look at me like that. But why?
Because boiling water, even whenthe burner is turned off, it's
still cooking. So by the time I'm done actually
exercising, 1015 minutes, I go back and you stir it.
It's, you know, not sticking to itself and it's cooked just
(02:34):
fine. So if you're extremely busy, get
your water to boiling, turn it off, add your pasta and leave it
alone. Cover it.
You cover it because it keeps itfrom like you let all this,
yeah, you let all that steam outand it just makes, you know,
(02:55):
defeats purpose. But you cover it and then you
could walk away and it's not going to boil over.
It's it's going to continue to cook, right?
And you know, even if it's 1520 minutes later, oh shit, I forgot
about it. You go back and it's most likely
not much. How much salt do you put in
there? I've never measured it.
(03:16):
A couple teaspoons, tablespoons,that's that's about it.
OK, So it's not like we're making salt water for A50.
I know some people are going to be like.
Oh no, like porn. It's not like they're porn wine.
No, I didn't think about that. Yeah, sometimes you got to dumb
it down for some people, but. Pasta kind of tastes like my
(03:37):
fillings, a little salty. So today's episode is number 10
and which means it's our first bonus episode.
Bonus. Now, bonus episodes are not
necessarily extra episodes, they're episodes that I want to
(03:58):
do a little different. So we've been doing movies,
movies, movies the whole time. And now today we're going to
talk about ATV Show. And before that I figured we
might want to give you some if for those of you that have
listened this far, thank you so much for sticking around.
You guys are awesome. So I figured we'd give them a
(04:21):
little background. I know we mentioned we were
truck drivers, but not everybodyassumes you've done anything
besides the truck. Driver.
That's all I did. I drove truck.
So, but we're going to start with how we met, which we tell
everybody was in prison. It was in prison.
(04:46):
And that face that everybody's making right now is why we say
that that way. Where'd you meet your wife in
prison? Yes, before you all start
freaking out and I'm probably sure that we probably lost a few
people, we were both working andin prison.
(05:08):
Neither one of us have ADC number so that's a good thing.
No, just means we haven't gottencaught anyway.
Right, right. All that one out there.
So we both have military backgrounds, both army, you you
you decide to play with. Fuel.
(05:30):
Yeah, I drove a fuel truck in the Army, which is actually kind
of similar what we're doing now far as career wise.
The only real difference is we're hauling food.
This time I was hauling, I was hauling about 2500 gallons worth
of rolling bomb, I mean fuel. And she decided to become an MP.
(05:51):
For those of you that don't knowwhat MP is, because my best
friend did not until I explainedit to her as military police.
She'd be the Popo. Now in the same instance, OK,
back then before 911, there was combat MP and there was law
(06:12):
enforcement. MPI chose before they mingled
everything all together. I chose the combat in because I
did not want to have to tell which.
I ended up doing it anyway, justin a combat situation.
I did not want to have to chase down Colonel's wives, general's
wives who thought they were above everybody because their
(06:35):
husband had a status and I just wasn't going to deal with it.
And I mean, I remember living onpost, and let me tell you, some
of those M PS on post, it's not that they had a God complex, but
they realized that a trailer park still lives in on post
housing. Yeah.
So no matter what kind of house you lived in on post, you can
(06:56):
take the people out of the trailer park, but you cannot
take the trailer park out of them people.
Right. I'm just I've seen it.
Yeah, I was an Army brat and we lived on post a couple times and
temporarily, like we moved to anarea like when we went to Fort
Stewart or Fort Hood and they and before we could actually get
(07:20):
a house, they'd put us on post for a little bit.
And then when our stuff arrived,they'd have a have for us.
And yeah, I, I can tell you, Yeah, that's, that's that's
right. Even though you know, my stepmom
still tried to act like she was from high class.
(07:45):
So you know, you, you have people that.
That does that. I can't say that the best place
I lived in the military was probably at Fort Riley.
Port Hoover was nice, Port Drum was nice.
But the housing, we got a brand new house.
Like they were still doing construction on it.
(08:07):
And I'm not saying I stuck in through the back window.
Go take a look at it. We got our keys, but it was so
new. You still had dust on the
counters from where they were going in the cabinet top.
They still had carpet remnants everywhere.
I mean, we had a brand. Brand new.
Brand new. I love this, but I did learn
(08:30):
something while I was in Kansas.And what's that?
They have tornado shelter in most of their houses.
I would imagine so. There's one room centrally
located like almost dead middle of the house, right?
And it's your bathroom. It's your half bath.
Just thinking of toilet, right? But it is a concrete lined floor
wall with a steel door that looks like a regular wooden
(08:53):
house door. This damn thing had three dead
bolts on it along with a regularturn.
So not only was it a safe room, but it's also your tornado
shelter. Damn, they were serious about
that shit. Let me tell you, if I had to go
poop, nobody can do it. I don't think I wanted to get
(09:15):
in. It was awesome.
But yeah, that's. Well, I joined the Army 11 days
before 9/11. Yeah.
And that was the day that I said, oh shit, what do I do?
(09:35):
I remember being in the backroomof Walmart of all places where I
work and receiving, and we knew the president was in Sarasota at
the time. It was like it is no big deals
whatever. Sometime between that morning
and before I went to lunch, I guess when the plane hit the
person to take a tower, I didn'tknow because like that we, we
(09:57):
were kind of cut off because we were in the background.
The next thing we hear is go outside and look, Air Force One
is flying overhead and he was flying low, like just above
Freetop. I mean, he was low, low.
Well, what the hell is this dudedoing flying this low?
Especially across Sarasota and Brainton because there's a lot
of private pilots on there and it just, it didn't really hit.
(10:21):
And then of course, when I get home for lunch, take my my hour
lunch, get home, turn on the NN and there it was.
Yeah. I mean that that's.
Do you remember where you were when this went on?
I was supposed to go meet my unit that day.
It doesn't say I did not go nowhere.
(10:42):
I was 17 when I joined, 18 when I went to basic because by the
time you make it into in peaceful you have to be 18
because of weapons and at 135 lbs I could barely do pushups
(11:03):
let alone anything else. I gained 10 lbs while I was
there. Still look anorexic like this
though. But my very first deployment,
which was Guantanamo Bay, that'sreally when I found out what I
(11:26):
was capable of at AT and it's really, it has a lot to do with
your training. I know a lot of people even even
when we're what what's good, What's the baseboard even I
(11:52):
forgot what I was saying. My brain went.
Well, poopy. I know right?
So Guantanamo Bay, that was interesting.
It was only supposed to be 6 months turned into a whole year.
And we were, we were toe to toe with ISIS, literally.
(12:22):
And I was the only female in my whole unit, the only female,
including Lieutenant captain, the only female that did not get
spit on or get anything thrown on.
I was the only female that was allowed to do whatever the hell
I wanted to for the sheer fact that I gave them a very small
(12:47):
amount of respect. Right I.
Didn't stare at them like they were animals as I walked by.
And you did the same thing in the prison, too.
Yeah, that. That's why you got so much
respect when you work. There and I was, the same way
every single day. Nothing changed.
So I took a little different route.
I didn't join the army till I was the 3rd.
I know. Yes, you, you were already an
old man. Third. 30, already had two kids
(13:09):
and the third one on the I was 30, about 30 something.
No, no. Yeah, I wasn't.
So while I was doing the Hoo Hoothing, you were.
I was doing popping. Out things popping out kids.
Right. And it was funny, too, because
all through basic AIT, which is advanced individual training,
(13:32):
even when I got to my first unit, I was older than everybody
else. That was kind of awesome.
Basically, when I look at my drill sergeants, they're like,
drop, start pushing. And I'm like, yes, you better
call me Sir. I'm older than you.
You push until I'm tired. Roger that.
(13:54):
Yeah. Army made me thrown a dumb ass.
If I sit wrong, that's what I did.
I was, Yeah. Yeah.
And then did a few other things before finally moving down here
to Florida. And you know, looking back, I do
not understand what possessed meto start with DOC here in
(14:18):
Florida. I really don't, other than I'm
not scared of a damn thing. It was the money, probably.
I mean, it was the money and thefact that you were doing less
work than what you were used to do.
And still ended up doing more work than usual.
Yeah, they're towards the end. No, the whole time.
That's why it got worse towards the end.
(14:41):
Yeah, because, because I remember distinctly, I was not
even certified yet and they had me doing the work of two or more
people because I was dumb enoughto send them all the information
on myself, because I wanted themto understand who they were
(15:01):
getting. Because every other job before
that I was told I was too mean, too strict to something, even
though all I did was my damn job.
The right way, the way it was supposed to be done did not
create a whole lot of waste. And I was just mean.
(15:22):
You know what they call it today?
You know what the kids call it today?
What extra? I was extra.
You was extra with a side. Effect, but it got the job done.
And then one day I went into work.
I was the yard Sergeant. And that day we were expecting
(15:44):
our first grandchild. And I was literally, I remember
literally I had my I was doing my rounds.
I had my cup of coffee in my hand and I just stopped and I
realized it was like a smack in the face.
I was either going to end up with my own DC number because
certain sergeants and officers and maybe some white shirt we're
(16:08):
going to get the ass whooping they deserve, or I would end up
6 feet under because the stress would make me blow my own head
off. Yeah.
And we lost a couple of good officers that we both worked
with. Because of that.
Because of that. So instead of that, because I
had captains telling me suck it up, I had sergeants trying to
(16:30):
say that they were over me even though they were sergeants and
I'm a yard Sergeant. So guess who's over who on that
one? I had female officers telling me
that I needed to be more feminine.
I had men Sergeant tell me I hadto be more feminine.
I'm sorry, but if you were more of a man, I wouldn't have to do
(16:51):
your job for you. Now what?
I. And it, I mean, there was a
whole and then I had, you know, that major, the certain major
that being a being an instructorwas not my job, but he wanted me
to be an instructor while doing my job and everybody else's job
at the. Same time.
So that day I turned all my stuff in and told them big fat
(17:16):
lice that my daughter had a doctor's appointment.
I fucking left. And then I texted my captain the
next morning and said I don't think I'm coming back.
And she discovered for me until major 2 weeks later decided well
we need it. She needs to make up her mind
what we're doing. OK, 2 seconds later they had my
resignation. So because I've seen this woman
(17:40):
on the compound, not only is shea bad ass and the way she
carries herself, she commands respect, but if you can imagine
Terminator with long hair, that's Aaron.
And I remember the first time I seen her like compound I said
I'm going to date her. I am and I chatted her up.
(18:03):
We were looking for a set of keys up one night and I chatted
her up for an hour and a. Half, yeah.
I didn't care what the hell we talked about, but after that
chat I I need to be with them. I need to.
And then when we got together I said I need to marry.
I asked her for almost 2 weeks straight every time I seen her
on the compound. Will you marry me?
(18:23):
She laughed at me and walked off.
And you got to understand, I went through a horrible divorce
where I was the bad guy in everysingle turn.
I thought it did not matter if it was with my ex or my family.
I was the worst person ever. I was the one that ruined that
relief, not the fact that he couldn't keep his pants on.
Or, you know, keep his Willy in his pants.
(18:46):
But you're the bad. Guy, but I'm the bad guy.
You're the you. You were the problem.
Yes. Never mind the the failing
zipper that won't stay up for the bug that just can't seem to
say chat. Or or the video chest that he
just has to get on. Oh my.
God, his GPS takes him to the wrong house every time he gets
home. What the hell?
Or the fact that he told me I need to work more even though I
was working 16 hours a day a lotso that he could be home more on
(19:11):
the computer. Yeah, he had to do the video
chat, Yeah. So yeah, I made him, made DJ
wait over a year for that first date because I was not about to
jump straight into something when I knew I wasn't ready,
right? I wasn't going to waste both of
our time. Right.
(19:33):
And then it wasn't very long after that first date, I looked
at you and I said, I don't want you to leave.
You stay right here. And I did.
I went and grabbed you. Yeah.
Oh my God. Now she's a girly girl.
Not completely. It's your fault.
But now she's wearing pink stuffand cheering around pink tubs
(19:55):
and it's. Your fault she's wearing.
Flowery dresses. Oh my gosh, it's amazing
dresses. It's your fault.
It's your fault. And I am OK with that.
OK. As long as you're OK with that.
Now let's get to the actual meatof this episode.
(20:15):
Yeah, we bored them enough. Yeah, well, we'll have more fun
fact our next on this episode, I'm sure.
So charm, the original was back in 1998 and it had eight
seasons, which is pretty awesome.
It was very, very popular, obviously to a lot of people.
(20:41):
Some people, like my wonderful husband, not so much.
I mean I like the, I like the the newer 1.
Yeah, we'll get to that. OK.
So it took place in in San Francisco, CA, I think in the
beginning of every episode in their opening, they have a
freaking Golden Gate Bridge every single time.
(21:07):
It was kind of weird watching itbecause you do have the phone
booths. It's a big, huge ass cell phone,
you know, and, and when they write on the back of an envelope
that they just happen to have laying around.
Yeah, because they had the back of the days.
That was our texting that. Was our e-mail.
(21:27):
Everybody knows about Piper, Prue and PB.
That it was it was very popular and it actually as it progresses
throughout the seasons you can see the the evolve the evolution
because my freaking words will come out right that's fantastic
(21:51):
the evolution of the cell phone because towards the end you have
more of what you got today rightbecause it's in the 2000 the.
IPhone one, yeah. IPhone, yeah, versus where it
started out at. And then the new charm came out
in 2018. It only has Four Seasons, which
(22:14):
is very upsetting for me becauseif you've seen all of the
original charm throughout these Four Seasons, you see
correlation, you know, crossover, and then it leaves
you hanging with this big ass like cliffhanger and there's
(22:36):
nothing after that. It has no plan on continuing at
all. But it takes place in Michigan.
The listen writers, if you're out there, you're listening to
this and you're writing for charm or you did get off your
after. I need four more seasons.
Give us four more seasons of thenew.
(22:57):
Guitar yeah and even though theycan't they they said that it was
a redo or reboot, it was more ofa continuation because in in
those Four Seasons you have the same thing one of the sisters
falls in love with a demon. One of the sisters passes away
(23:19):
one of the sisters. So you have all these.
They're very similar, but in oneof those episodes they pull out
a book full of names of former Charmed Ones.
And their names. Are in there and I did I'll have
to go back to see the actual episode and try to freeze it
(23:43):
because it gives you a couple clips but I'm not sure it might
have Piper crew and TV in there well.
That'd be awesome if it. Did yeah.
But it, I mean, it's, it's literally people who have come
before them who were the CharmedOnes.
So it's more of a continuation, not necessarily a reboot.
(24:05):
And see, I don't know a whole lot about the series or, or
whatnot, but I'm wondering, I'm just wondering this just me, I'm
wondering if the reboot started out as a reboot and then
somewhere between season 1 and Season 4.
So well, let's incorporate the original somehow that, you know,
(24:26):
to get people to connect to. Then by the end of the season,
it's it's morphed into its own thing where his own original.
Children, most likely because it's still, like I said, it
still has the three sisters, theoriginal three sisters, but
they're just, it just it happensdifferently.
(24:48):
Yeah, everything is pretty much the same, but in a different
order. Or it's more modern?
So it's almost like whoever produced the new version had a
great idea, and then it kind of more flexed it more from just
some things. Then I think they were into an
identity crisis. To them, they're like, where do
we go from here? Yeah.
(25:09):
Now having said that, like I said, I like to read paper.
Personally, I like the original.That's because it has more.
Right. Well, yeah, the reboot is not
bad. It's just like, especially that
last season, it, it's like they knew it was going to end, so
(25:35):
they hurried up and they threw all kinds of stuff in his last
season, which is great. It keeps it keeps it moving.
Yeah, but then it just ends. Just stops it.
Just ends and you're going, huh?Now what?
Well, see, the only, the only reason why I don't like the
original, it's not that I hate it.
I mean, I can watch it. I mean, I'll watch it with you
(25:57):
and it's wonderful to pass the time.
And if I'm going what I rememberthat I mean, it's an awesome
show to watch. I just remember growing up
during that time when I was on TV on a regular basis, but it
started out with what, 9O21-O? Then I went to Melrose Place,
somewhere in there was Dawson Creek and this.
(26:18):
And for me, now this is just me,but during that time frame, if
you've seen one show, same actors or not, doesn't matter.
You've seen The One Show. The next show was pretty well
similar to it. I think they're all done by the
same guy. And then if you're like me and
you don't watch all those other shows, and I just watched Charm
(26:42):
and that was literally after I was 20 years old, heaven forbid,
as a teenager. I like anything that has
anything to do with anything besides church.
So I didn't see all those other shows so it doesn't have that
(27:03):
whole this is boring feel to me.It wasn't really boring, it's
just to me, it's just it was like the typical 90s teen.
Drama they're not. Well I know this guys who
watched it in the 90s was a bunch of teenagers my age.
(27:25):
You're right. Seven years older than me. 717
to 19, we're watching this, OK, 15 to 19.
So let's face it, some 15 year olds look at Chin and daughter.
He's like, yeah, that's weird. But I mean that that was just
how we've seen it. And I have friends who were all
(27:47):
over all those shows, all those 90s TV shows, they were all
over. And I, I could watch one or two
episodes after that. She's like, OK, but now watching
it with you, it's a little different because you're filling
me in the stuff. And like, why are they doing
that? And you're filling me in
because, well, you know, I'm like, oh, OK, now that makes
(28:10):
sense. All that and I think you drift
off and then you come back to itand you're like, wait a minute,
what happened? Why are they doing that?
And I'm just looking at you likewell, if you watch it, good Lord
Bear. Hey, we know you're there.
Doll at tinkling was bare and his his holler.
Sorry guys, yes, sorry. He decided that we need to do
(28:33):
something besides sit here. I know dude, we're almost done
with the bonus episode, I promise.
He's very excited to be home, yes.
But yeah, that's it for me. I, I like to reboot.
I mean the 90s version is. Great.
They did a great job on the reboot.
They did they they got great actresses to do it that the
white lighter does. The guy that plays the white
(28:53):
lighter does a phenomenal job. And for those that listen to our
show and wants to put their two cents in, no, that does not mean
the 98 version of Charmed is outlawed or, you know, horrible.
(29:15):
Just because I like the reboot, OK, It's still good because it
how can you judge something? This is what I run into when I
talk to people that, well, I'm not going to watch that because
I like the original. How can you judge anything
without looking looking at it, reading it, watching it?
(29:37):
You can't, you can't say it's horrible because you like the
original. You're allowed to like the
original. You're also allowed to like the
reboot. There's still people walk around
with the original 1992 year serabrick style cell phone because
they like the original. Yeah, well, they also like the
paperweight there. Yes, yes.
(30:04):
So. But yeah, that's that's our.
That's our take, anyway. That's our opinion.
Yeah. Yeah, you don't like it?
So anyways, again, because I like to say it every single time
and I still get private messagesinstead of comments on the pod
(30:25):
comment follow. Like if you don't leave
comments, people that stumble across us won't know what's
going on and they'll just glide on by.
By the time this episode comes out, because this is number 10,
I will be looking at getting ourAmazon account set up.
(30:48):
Will be on Spotify and Amazon. Awesome.
I figured I'd start up the Amazon once I had more than a
couple episodes in there, right?So we'll hopefully reach a whole
lot more people. And definitely comment
everything from we can't stand the sound of his voice to my
God, I can't believe your watch that.
(31:10):
Believe me, we have very thick skin.
Most time we're probably going to read a lot of the negative
stuff and laugh. Most likely.
But that's OK though. Everybody, everybody can have
their own opinion. Absolutely.
So please subscribe, follow, comment, share with your friends
like you gotta listen to this video, yeah?
(31:32):
Share it on social media. Yes, yes.
If you guys have any ideas or suggestions or another bonus
episode or hey did you guys knowthat they made these two movies,
let us know. Yeah, because we're going on
right now, we're going based offof a print off of the top 50.
(31:52):
Just the top. That's just the top I I have a
whole print off on over 100 movies and shows that have
rebooted. So believe me, if you want to
hear something specific, let us know.
We'll see if we can't work that in.
Yeah. And just for an FYI, I did not
know this until the other day, and I told you I'm almost here
(32:13):
with everybody else, walking tall with the Rock and Johnny
Knock. I did not know there was an
original from the 1970s. Yeah, we're gonna definitely
gonna have to do that. One I had no idea none.
So there he goes people. What you useless information
that I just had to share with you?
Absolutely because well, I'll pull that all right, guys.
(32:33):
So until next time. Stay safe.
