Jersey's rock station, ZXL Morning Show. So my both my
kids have birthdays coming up. One's a beginning of January.
Ones the beginning of February. I don't know what month
we were just banging like champs. I guess somehow it
(02:59):
just seemed to work that month. And then here we
car the you know, bust out about a month all March,
right is that? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Like March April?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, yeah. It must have been part of college. It
must have been part of college basketball, because I remember
I was watching a game and I remember if this
is where it actually happened that I would have an
angry kid because I bet money on Duke and I'm
watching it downstairs, and then we start banging underneath the
screen there, but I'm watching the game, still not covering
the spread. I remember, because you were trying to have
(03:29):
a kid, right, it was almost like a work. Oh
my god. I remember we had a radio thing to
do and it was like a Sunday morning and she
was kind of sleep and I'm like, yo, you know,
before I jump in the shower here, you know, I
should probably break one off because we're trying to have
the kid. Forget the don't do the calendar thing. It
never works, man, when you're ovulating. Now, just go out
it every day, every hour as much as you possibly can. Yeah,
it's all about practice exactly. So my uh so my
(03:51):
kids have a birthday's coming up. We're trying to do
like a like a joint one. Now, we're trying to
do something like in a movie theater, like right out
the movie theater and everything else. It's kind of the
play now where what happened to the days of just
going to dinner with your kid and that being it,
because that's where I'm leaning towards now. It's become such
an issue on trying to put this whole thing together.
My wife's throwing out dates now the great people at
(04:14):
the Tilton Square Theaters. He's a good friend of ours.
So we've done this before where I got the movie
theater in the morning and you're ready to ask the last.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Time you did this. The screening of the movie was
like eight am.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah, and it was, by the way, it was the
worst movie ever. It was a bad it that it
was that Doctor Doolittle movie with Roberts. It was his
first movie after Stop being Iron Man. Even my kids
know that was a film. Yeah, they even they hated
the whole movie thing. So now it's turned into the
date that we're trying to do. It doesn't work out
for everybody, well it doesn't. People have other activities going
on now. It's like, well, what what movie is going
(04:47):
to be hot at that point where we could have it.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
I don't know there's any kid movies coming out.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
The whole thing has just been I told my wife,
I said, let's just stop.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I don't know why.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
We feel like it's like we're putting it together and
the kids are like car less.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Which is this the older one or younger one? Uh, well,
it's gonna be a joint one. Yeah, I got for both.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, the eleven and a seven year old again, and
that's become an asrue issue, like, well, I don't want
to do it together. I'm like, listen, we're not gonna
do anything at all. I'm no what like the old days,
my family took me to Pizza Hut.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
That was what we did. You go to fund Rockers,
you get a free Sunday. That's what you do.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
My wife's big thing when she was younger, because she
lived in a small town, they used to drive an
hour to a red lobster and that was her big birthday.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
She got to pick out the lobster.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
And now it's now it's like my wife she said, well,
I'm gonna do a Yesterday. I'm like, well, what's yes.
That's like the push gift, bro, that's where that's where,
that's where the kid can say yes anything he wants.
He gets for a whole day. I was like, how
is that going to work out? This idea was thrown
out by a friend of hers. She's like, you take
him for every year he's been born, he gets a
minute and you take him somewhere wherever store this is
(05:50):
toy store or whatever. Well, for each one of those
years he's born, he gets eight. So he's turning eight,
he would get eight minutes to pick out anything he
wanted from.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
I was like, what is that going to? Who does
these stupid things? But this is why the kids are
the way they are. This is exactly why the children
we had because we don't say yep, dude, it's it's
we talk about it endlessly.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Parents don't know how to parent. No.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
We don't say no, yeah, well good.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Luck with that.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah yeah. So my thing now is like can we
just do let's just do it's just too many working parts.
It's she's shocked that everybody has things to do. I'm like,
it's it's I'm not doing it for five kids, Like
if if it's gonna if it's gonna do it, you
want to all the friends and stuff to be there.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
And and the problem is it's winter, so it's not
like I've had at your house and do it in
the backyard.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I tried. I tried that, man, Yeah I tried doing
the like cause I have a nice set up downstairs
where I got TV's all throughout the room because I gamble,
So I uh, I said, listen, let's have all the
kids come and bring your switch as you can hook
up to the TVs. I got TV's for everybody. It
turned into a disaster. Well this one, this one came
without as his Nintendo switch. This one can't get on
the internet. I said, this has turned into an absolute disaster.
(06:58):
I want nothing to do with kids. Point.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I hate it.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I'm sorry, kids, I want nothing to do with it.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
I remember I was like probably nine or ten. I
was probably eleven actually, and the birthday party was at
my house. My mom bought a cake from thrift Way,
and we all ended up watching die Hard too.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
That's what it was like, ten kids from the neighborhood,
you know, And that was it, right, like there was
there was nothing else.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
You always had a movie on that maybe the other
parents didn't approve of. Just don't say anything.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Yeah, I think I think you saw a guy's ass
In Diehard too.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
I remember having a birthday and my parents rented Night
of the Living Dead, but it was it was the
newer one where it was like a full bang scene.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm like, what is this?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
This is awesome?
Speaker 3 (07:44):
This is awesome.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Is this every birthday?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
I think I turned eight.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Look we get we get back. We'll knock out some rockness.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Joe, Joe and Scotty rock news.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
There's some rock news for you.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I guess the Sisters in Heart they were pretty wholesome
growing up, but they loved led Zeppelin, so they.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Were in a folk band at the time.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
They were young, they were teenagers, and so they went
to go see led Zeppelin and they said that Robert
Plant was so sexual on stage that they were so
embarrassed because they were just these very like, you know,
demure young girls. Yeah, that they had to walk out
because they were feeling things they shouldn't have felt. You
really walked out of the show, so they said. They
(08:34):
said they walked out after he did the Lemon song.
They said that his shirt was open, his jeans were
low cut, and he was the way he was dancing
on stage made them feel something. They probably shouldn't be
feeling a little tingly inside.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
And she's said, and I'll tell you, I think it's
Nancy was saying.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
We were in a little folk band at the time,
were from the suburbs, so we're kind of squares, were
littlehippie chicks. We wanted to be enlightened. And he was
up there strutting around on stage.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Some shock. You didn't know what you were getting into,
you know.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
I guess you're a kid, right like, and I mean
no one had saw anything like that before.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Let's see here.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Jeremy Strong, he's an actor. He's in that show Succession.
He's like the like the main brother who was running
the company in the show Succession. Yeah, we couldn't remember
the name the other day man a Succession, great show.
He's in the new movie, the new Bruce Springsteen movie
called Deliver Me from Nowhere, and he's playing the manager
of Springsteen, his longtime manager, John Landau. So I guess
(09:37):
they caught up with him and they interviewed him about
what it was like on the set. And it's a
lip from Shameless. He's playing Springsteen, So I like him
a kid. He's in that show Bear, everybody raves about
so scene. Really yet he said, it really is a
love story in the sense between these two men. John
has been so instrumental in helping the guy Bruce coming
(09:59):
into his life a moment where Bruce was really at
a crossroads. John offered a steady hand and helped Bruce
over the years. Not that Bruce needs any help, he's
a complete artist and the whole person, but helps translate
to endangering and coaxing out his vision. John was a
kind and loving mentor that offered the guidance and clarity
and equananimity that I think Bruce needed.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
At that moment in his life.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
That's coming from Jeremy Strong, the actor who's playing John Landau,
Bruce Springsteen's longtime career manager in.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
The new movie Delivered Me from Nowhere? And how was
that wrestling movie?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Bear?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Was that guy from Bear was in good?
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Was it good?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
It looked pretty good?
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Yes, they once again, did you know nothing about wrestling?
It'll be a good movie. They changed around the facts
a little bit of what happened because that's such a
sad story that it's the von Eric family and all
the death and just awfulness that happened to that family.
But yeah, you going in not knowing is the best
(10:57):
because you'll just look at it and go, this is
a really good move jacked up in that movie He
Is Man. We're not gonna get it here yet. But
over in Britain, they are releasing a three part documentary
about Marilyn Manson over three consecutive nights. It'll be January fourteenth, fifteenth,
and sixteenth. It'll be from his meteoric rise as a
(11:18):
self proclaimed Antichrist superstar to the chilling abuse allegations that
engulfed his career. It'll dive deep in the Manson's world
to separate fact from fiction. It's called The Birth of
Marilyn Manson. So the first episode, it's the quote is
from his shocking stage antics to his offensive backstage behavior.
Manson became a lightning rod for moral panic. Accused by
(11:40):
many of being a malign influence on American youth. He
faced backlash for allegedly inspiring violence, including.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
The Columbine High School massacre.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Is he ever seeing this thing?
Speaker 4 (11:51):
We're not gonna get their real dirt, and it's done
over in Britain, man, and they don't hold back, So
hopefully this will come over our way soon it'll be
on one of the streaming sites hopefully, but it'll be interesting.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Man, them diving into those sexual assault.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
On sevens Jersey's rock station.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
I did something over vacation that I thought I would
never do because I always thought they were super unsafe.
I was like, I was like, I can't believe this
person is doing this edibles and hard liquor together.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I've done that, done that plenty of times.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
That's just a tuesday. No.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Man.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
We went on a road trip, right and we were
taking seven people. So my thing was, well, we'll take
two cars, right, and and my wife's like, no, we'll
just rent. You know, we wanted to be comfortable, so
we rented one of those big like suburbans.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
It's fun having everybody in the car. Yeah, I guess,
and so we uh so we ran in one of
those suburbans. You got to win a bego where you
can drive, but they could play cards, like my wife.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
My wife's like, we can get on RV. I was like,
do you know much gas that would take to go?
We were driving twelve hours each way?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
You driving an RV like a like a truck driver.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
I got my elbow off the window, right, So so
we go and rent one of these suburbans, and we
still needed room like for luggage and stuff. Right like,
we packed the back like once again. Man, you know
my wife, she's pretty good at packing, but like every
like everyone had two bags so that they're gonna have
(13:19):
stuff that's fourteen bags. So she's like, we'll get one
of those roof things. And dude, is I always look
at those roof things on the top of these cars
and I'm like, I don't trust that at all. You're
putting your luggage in a roof rack, right Like I
feel I could fly off at any moment. Yeah, I
don't trust anything.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
I've seen bikes strapped to the back of the car
where the straps go inside the trunk. Yeah, I don't. Like,
I know, we got like this this little it's like
a twenty foot or little camper on the back. Dude,
I dread pulling that thing around anything I have to
anytime I have to toat something, unless it's inside the
car or the truck bed. Like I even have a
rack too that fits into the mount on the back
(13:57):
of the truck, and I got my bikes in there,
and I still like, I still out. I still bungee
cording them to the actual base of the truck. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Man, Like, I like, I don't trust any You should
be inside the car, right inside the car, So how
does that clip on?
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Okay, So on the way here, here's what he So.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
On the way down, we were able to fit everything
in the car, but all but then I have to
take the cause it's canvas, right, this this canvas, it's
so it folds up, so I have to shove that
under a seat.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Right.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
So on the way down we didn't need it. So
I'm like, Okay, on the way back, maybe we won't either.
But then I forgot. I'm with a bunch of boogie
women who like the shot. They're buying boots and stuff
ala boots. So I'm like, all right, so I know
we're gonna need it. So so me and my father
in law here, we're strapping it on it. You know,
you throw it on top and then you know, like
the stuff you put under carpets so they don't slide
on the floor. They give you that to put on
(14:47):
the roof so it doesn't doesn't move. And I'm like,
I don't trust that at all. To me, that's just
gonna fly away.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Yeah. Yeah, So then the straps.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Now, if you have roof racks, you can mount it
to the roof rack with canvas straps, right, and and
you know, like the buckles like a like a a
car seat has. It's like it's it's plastic buckles. And
I'm like, okay, but I don't know if I trust Andy.
What if that buckle breaks. So you had a roof rack,
then we did, but the holes weren't big enough. So
(15:14):
now I have to extend it as long as it
can go. And now I'm going through the car. That's
the move. Yes, so I go through the car.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Now.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
The thing that made me feel a little bit better
was if I could get it to the front of
the car and get it over the driver and passenger seat.
You have that bar in the middle between the front
seat and the back seat, so you're trying to think
of things that are like welded to the actual car.
The costs, I need that.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
So so we get it.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
And but now I'm like, okay, how do you get
the luggage in this thing? So you got to zip
it up. Now we hoist my mother in law right
up on top of the car and we're handing her
the luggage to put in this stupid thing.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
The disaster waiting to happen, all right, So now I'm like, okay,
let's start driving. And you're always worried about it, right hunt, dude,
one hundred percent. Now here's what's worse. One of the
chords comes loose, and so now you just hear a clapping,
right the wind has it. Now you're clapping against the car,
and I'm like, dude, I'm like, you don't know what it.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Looks like up there.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
So we drive the first couple hours and and you know,
you pull over to pee.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I hopped out, dude.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Other than the cord clapping worked alright, not bad, not
bad because in my head when I'm driving, I kept
grabbing because it was right over my head. It wasn't moving,
and as long as that's not moving, I'm like, it
should be okay.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah, Like you can't. You can't concentrate like I no, uhh.
Like we drove, we did h We went camping in
Hershey and I pulled the trailer like it was like
a two two hours something like that. But again you're
always constantly I'm costantly looking behind. I don't know the
had the right ball thing on there is that locked?
Is it secured the right way? I'm pulling on a
thing's feeling in your gut? Yeah, right, like you had.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
It's like almost when of cops behind you, right, You're
you're always just anxious that something's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
It was someone else you wanted to go, was like
it was like a four hour ride. I'm like, I
don't know if I want to go hours because again
and listen, every time it's been perfectly fine. It's fine,
the lights work, you chain it up and everything else,
it's usually fine. But I just unless it's in the car,
I worry about even with the bikes, like I strapped
at the back of the truck, it's not in the
bed of the truck. And even with that, man, I
secure all that. To me, everything is gonna fly if
(17:17):
it's taken a beating for fourteen hours. Like for wind dude,
that's he's going to loosen up and go.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
It made the trip. Now how many trips?
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Because it was like a hundred bucks, So I'm like
it can't be like you know, because once again, like
I said, it was just canvas. I'm like, how many
trips could I actually take this thing? On before these
cords start to you know, loosen up at.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
How much beating can canvas take and how much be
like you have to retire one you know you're going
eighty you know, let's say eighty for Yeah, it was
twelve hours, right, Like, dude, that's a that's a big
you know that that's a big trip. It's constantly beating
on those that can't all it.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Was that thing where it was it was just this
the entire trip.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, it's like when the people are holding a mattress
on top of their roof.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
I'm like, oh, do you ever see it a bens
it bends upwards? Yes, Like what what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (18:03):
You've gotta have a buddy with a truck somewhere.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Well, I always when you go like a ninety five
in Philly, there's always mattresses on the side of the road.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
And I'm like, so you just decided to leave it there?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Oh yeah, yeah. I thought about that because I have
my camper in short for like the five grand that
we actually paid for it, and if something happens, I
get my five grand back. I thought about it driving
to the tree. If it goes it's falling, like if
I lose that thing down the highway. I'm like, I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
It wasn't me.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
I don't know who owns that. Yeah, I don't know
where it is. Officer, Well it worked, yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
So you know. Now it's sitting on my pool table.
But uh yeah, it's one of.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Those things you don't I don't know. I don't trust
it lest it's in the car.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Yeah, I'm the same way. Even though it works, I
still don't trust it.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah, my wife would sit on luggage. I'd rather have
it in a car.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
We've done that. Before we get back, we'll not got
some headlines.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
One hundred point seven ZXL, South Jersey's rock stations ZXL

money than me that I can't say no to ideas

some friends. Waco, Texas. Remember the uh yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
The Waco that the awful disaster they killed a bunch
of kids. Yeah that No, she's not going to that one.
It's David Koresh. It's the it's the other thing that
draws you to Waco. Oh that's stupid couple, Joanna Gaines.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah so her so friends
of ours, the David Koresh Museum. They got this couple.
I mean, listen, it's genius. Right, you're making a ton
of money. You take it over Waco, Texas. It's now
like your little city.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
They bought like a little farm, right, just like it's
a whole like play where people can buy expensive stuff.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Bro. They got an Airbnb. It's one of the houses
they actually they actually redid. They got breakfast book that
it's a whole Johanna Gaines thing.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Like I used to watch back in the day, maybe
like ten years ago. So I used to watch them.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
And I liked it.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
But then they I think, got a little too big
for themselves and the husband got real annoying.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Well, they screwed it up because they now moved, they
moved their whole show to like their own network, like
the Magnolia Network. I'm like, I'm not paying for that.
It was like, yeah, to pay for It's like, now,
if you're free and you're being handed to me, I'll
watch it.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
I like the show, right the Joanna Gaines and what's
his name, I don't know, Bruce or something, God damn,
what is it? And so it was it was cool
because he was a goofy husband who was screw up
but like you know, and it was like the show
that like how it works with a marriage and everything
like that, trying to build this business with kids. But
then he started just like buying into his own thing.
(20:52):
And I got to the point where I'm like, I
don't like is it Joe, Chuck, Charlie, Henry Gaines, on,
Henry Gaines, Chris Gaines, the guy Garth Brooks pretended to
be it's just.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
All about her. I forget what the shy for?
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Chip Chip Chip Yip Hit Chip, I'm off the Chip
band wag.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
And it's like every other show, Like I watched it
for a little while and that was it. Like I'm
over it, but they're still got their thing going. They
got this whole, this whole trip planned.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Yeah, So all I wanted was to get back to normal.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
So now she has this trip, she's leaving that well,
actually she's on a flight now, she's just left today
and she comes back like on on Sunday night. And
it's like, as much as I want to say, yeah,
do you really like we spent money on Christmas? There
was a lot of money was spent. You know this
is but I can't even say no, because she's she
does well for herself. It's not like I'm the money.
I'm like, it's not like I'm looking at our checking
(21:43):
accounts saying, well we can't really afford it. Like she
can go if she wants. She does good.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
So we, uh, we went crazy this year.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
The last a year and a half, me and my
wife have gone nuts, vacations, all this stuff. And so
finally I think my wife saw it because I was
able to get her. Finally, so it's say, for the
next year, we're gonna be boring. We're just gonna we're
gonna stay at home, We're gonna do stuff, save money,
and so she but it took a while for her
to see it. You know, maybe maybe it took her
(22:11):
to looking in the bank accounts and be like, oh, okay, yeah,
you know what, we gotta pump the brakes here.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Look, don't get me wrong, I love home, like I
love everything about my own, you know, it's just it's
that's my thing.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
Is Like I'm like, She's like, well, we're gonna be
boring for a year. I go, it's not boring, it's
just finding stuff to do here, right, Yeah, well you
create even this weekend, dude, I'm super excited to take
the Christmas decorations down this weekend. And so she was
on board with that too, And then then the other
day I'm like, all right, so Christmas decorations you want
me to start this week so, well it'll be an
easy tear down yea, And she goes, oh, well, I
(22:41):
wanted to make bread this weekend.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
That sounds like a lot of fun. I think you
should do their bread in stead.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
No, no, no, no no, no, let's do the Christmas decorations.
And the goal and you know what a reward after
all the decorations are down is to make bread.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Like even the like even over Christmas, like again, we
you know, we say we're not gonna go crazy the kids.
You know, we spend some money on the kids whatever,
good kids. I don't mind doing that. But even with us,
like I got her, like I don't know, I probably
spent maybe three hundred bucks on her, but she's coming
at me with all this stuff. I was like, you're
doing the opposite, like together, I know, I know you
want to spend the money, but you don't have to.
(23:16):
But yeah, even with this trip, it's like, man, as
much as I want to be like yeah, you know, but.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
You know why because it's fun when you when you
when you're like you're drunk with your girls, your guys,
your boys, and you're playing something right and you're at
the bar and you're like yeah yeah. But then when
someone books it, it becomes real.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Right now, it's like, hey, well we need money for
the plane tickets. Like I got a trick coming up
with some guys. We're going to Nashville in a couple
of weeks for a long weekend. Right listen. They they
wanted to do something because our wives get together, our
wives love each other, and they want they go on
this cruise so my neighbors like, let's go on a cruise.
I was like, no, I'm not going on a cruise
a bunch of dudes. Yeah, a bunch of dudes together
on a cruise. That's a gay cruise. All I want
(23:52):
to do is I want to bang my wife in
an all inclusive or a cruise. I don't want to
be stuck with you guys, I said, if we go anywhere,
I was like, Nashville. I've been there. Guys can make
a cool weekend in Nashville a couple of days and
that's and like that's it. But you're right. It finally
gets real when you're like, okay, now you get to
book the room and my buddy's booking a plane ticket,
so we got that done. I'm like, okay, well you
know now, dude, we're taking six hundred dollars.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
We're taking a trip. We're leaving Christmas night, Christmas Eve.
Her aunt's like, I want to go too. It's Christmas Eve.
We're leaving in literally less than twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Jump in. We'll figure it out.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Dude.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
That almost happened.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
We actually kind of had to take her aside and
be like there's no room, like these we were driving.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
There's no room for me.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
So this is a big lesson. She likes the Girls's
something she's always wanted to do. I was like, but
after this, let's just punt the brakes a little bit.
Everybody just relaxed. Yeah, stay at home. I like homes.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
I want to I'm going to the Mike Holmes Museum
from homes on homes. Look we get back, we'll do
some trash. Oh love trash anything thirty one on anything, racket,
(25:09):
rocket or roughing.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Yet love trash.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
There's some trash for you. I guess it will do.
All the celebrities, man, who are losing their homes and
it's it's it's sad.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
But I mean outside of the celebrities, there's also people
who aren't.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Celebrities who are losing their homes and everything too.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
People who's the insurance dropped them a month ago. Yeah, like,
this guy has to find how he's gonna build another
million dollar mansion. I know it sounds silly, that's a
lot of money.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
I guess State Farm is getting hit with that that
they dropped a ton of people.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
That's disgusting, it really is.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Man, So there when you gotta pay every month. Why
not paying that for a month to see how they
handle it?
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Dud It' the same thing here with flood inshorts, where
like they're like, yeah, sorry, we're not doing flood shorts,
but but I need flood insurance. Yeah, but we're not
doing it. Well I didn't. Okay, what do I do then?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Right?
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Uh So Eugene Levy lost this house, Billy Crystal John Goodman,
Fergie looks like shef Fergie lost their house. But I'll
tell you what it kind of is making me like,
do to Hollywood. Now, there's a lot that makes me
go ooh to Hollywood. But like, I'm watching these celebrities
right the last couple of days, they're telling them to
(26:19):
leave right, to get out, grab whatever valuables you have,
your children, your animals, whatever, get in the car and
leave right.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
It's that matter. I'm watching these celebrities. You can see
the fire behind them.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
They're posting online like like oh my god, I can't
believe I have to leave my house now. I like
comeding at Whitney Cummings. She lives right, you know, down
the street from where the fires are happening. So they're
telling her to leave. Dude, she's on like live Instagram right,
and she's crying and like, I gotta leave my podcast, studio,
look at my pot my beautiful podcast.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Do you I can't believe I have to leave this,
And like, really that's what you?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Like?
Speaker 4 (26:56):
You just had a kid, Like, why don't you get
your kid? She has animals, Get your animals. And you're
talking what you're worried about a microphone.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Again, I'll talk about everyone else who's lost a ton
of stuff in that awful storm that happened that people
are living in and they had down there would comal
agam seven hundred dollars to rebuilt. But again, you're gonna
see this handled differently. Look out, get your family. You
have plenty of money. You can go anywhere and live
your life. But again it's it's it's materialistic. He's crazy,
(27:24):
So I can't studio. Who cares about your pocket? He
turns it off.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
Man Like Paris Hilton has a beautiful house on the
beach of Malibu, So that means the fire got all
the way down to.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
The beach because her house went up in flames. Yeah,
I know what I'm I want. I'm in a group
thread with a bunch of guys. One of my buddies
lives out and lives out in Malibu. One of my
other friends is like, hey, man, you guys roast some
marshmallows down there. I'm like, that's kind of that's kind
of an awful thing to say, Like the guy could lose.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
His home, Okay. I do say that to you. When
you fly though, I go, hope the plane don't crash hundred.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Percent, and I guess, and even I'm trying to soft
it up up. I'm like, yeah, you know how you
doing down there?
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Man?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
You okay? Because he might be losing everything. I mean,
roasting marshmallows. That's what you come up with, dude. I
look at a guy like Billy Crystal. Him and his
wife have had this house in the Palisades and where
the fires are for forty six years. Yeah, just burned
to the ground, dude.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
James Woods, the great actor, James Woods, he was on
Fox and CNN.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
He was crying.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Man, He's like him and his wife they lost everything, wow,
And like, you know, it sucks, but you just got
to take what's valuable, meaning your kids and pets and
everything like that, try and grab whatever you again and get.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
The hell out, and there are some things that you
can't replace, Like there are gonna be some memories. You
can't take everything with you.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Like, Okay, you know Moby all right, forty six year
old ball head.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Yeah yeah, that guy from the eminem song.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
He was on social media yesterday with a fire and
smoke behind him and he's like, they're telling me to evacuate.
I just want to let everyone know I'm safe. Okay,
No one's worrying about what's happening to you. Moby, just
get out of there. Yeah, we care about you, but
it's a record collection. It's all about me. That's it's
the world we live me. Look how bad my I
don't know. Even with a house burned down and you
(29:03):
losing everything, your life is still gonna be pretty.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
You're gonna wake up and still be movie. Look we
get back.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Hey, good morning.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
But you know I was thinking about you the other day.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Thank you, Like I know what you do for a living.
You're out there, you're a I don't know what's a
what's a what's a fancy name for what you do?
Removals environmental specialist. So before the break, you made a
comment about we were talking about tipping and who you
tip around the holidays, and you said, you don't tip
the one arm bandit, which is the guy who doesn't
(29:40):
get out of the truck to lift up the trash
cans into the truck.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Or you tip the guys who actually get out of
the truck in the cold and and and toss.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
The trash, guys that are working hard. And every night,
every time I see it, the I'm like, you're right,
this guy's not doing enough for a tip. But the
guys who are freezing their balls off putting the trash
in the back of the truck, they deserve the tip.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
I finally got flagged by the way with my trash
or I threw and now.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
You so so this evil empire has now decided that
all recycling has to go in one bin. And I
threw a space heater in there, thinking all right, it's metal, right,
there's some metal.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Tube, right, And yeah, he took it out and threw
it back on my lawn.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
You know I did that. Within I was trying to
get rid of cinder blocks when we did the rehabit
the Brigantine House. I had a bunch of cinder blocks,
so I went to every six or seven of my neighbors,
I put cinder blocks in their trash cans. Bro I
was driving home every cinder Dude, I don't know how
he knew every cinder block was taken out of the
trash can and then next to it.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Then you have to do that walk of shame where
you pick up all the cinder blocks and all your
neighbor's houses.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Now that guy deserved the tip because he actually got
out and do working. I'm like, how do you even
know that?
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (30:50):
I watched him do it too. I was peeking through
my blinds and I watched him. He dumped everything and
then took the heater. He threw it on, not even
on like the lawn between the sidewalk and the curb.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
You threw it on my wall lawn.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I guess this is a guy who's just looking to
flag people like that's probably the best part of his day.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
But what in a what in a like a space
heater is getting me flagged? I'm not sure, but you're
you're you're an environmental specialist.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
You should know.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Would you have flagged that, would you taken the space
heater out?
Speaker 4 (31:18):
I would have done the proper thing, and.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
I know they got cameras. You can see he looks
at him. I was feel guilty, man. I came and
look that guy in the eyes. Yea.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
So I paint.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Cans and everything. I put it in a black bag and
I just put it in the bottom.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Well all right man, it's it's always good to talk
to you. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Yeah, my friend, thank you God.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
Well, well, fair, I'll tell you something.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Okay, okay, some fair stuff.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Eric put him on hold, talk them off the air.
You hold on all right. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
I didn't tip anybody over the holidays, but I thought
about it the other day.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
I'm watching the I forgot to get my little guy's
teacher a gift.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Oh yeah, we did all the teachers, the bus driver,
I got an art and a cigarettes or something, got
all of them. Yeah. So I'm looking at the guy.
I make eye contact with the guy with the one
arm Bandit you're not supposed to tip. I'm like, if
I went up to him with a car, say hey, man,
thanks a lot, here's ten bucks, maybe he would stop
flagging the trash.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
Yeah there's too.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
If it's too if it's piled too much out of
the trash can guy's kind of kind of jerk off. Man.
I watch him out today. You can see stuff spills
and it ships the spell.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
For my trash guys. Because our trash night Sunday night,
it gets picked up Monday morning. So I put it
out Sunday. Right now it's bulk day, cardboard and regular trash.
She's a perfect storm and it's the week after Christmas.
There's no worse than California. So you know, stuff's out
gonna be everybody. Everybody's gonna have stuff out in the curtin.
What happens on Monday, it's snows, they don't pick it up.
(32:48):
So now on Tuesday they got to swing by and
now everything's covered in snow.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Yeah, it sucks for him.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Man.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Our guys actually came through on Monday with the snow.
Our guys. He actually ran the truck through a group
of kids that were sledding. But they got our trash
picked up. There's no way, man, our roads were so
bad on Monday. Like in our neighborhood, there was no way.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
I don't think a truck ever came through a neighborhood.
We just waited for it. The melt. Look, we get bad,
not got some headlines,
