Speaker 1 (00:00):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I've discussed this with you before, but it's never been
so important as it is now.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
And my sister and I we have.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
This code, but you guys are closer in proximity to me,
and so I'm relying on you, and I'm not sure
if it's a good idea for me to rely on you,
to be honest, But if anything happens to me, well
you'll hear why. If anything happens to me, I need
to know that you guys will get a hold of
my digital devices and either make them disappear and I
(00:28):
mean disappear in a way that they could never be
accessed slash, get in there and somehow reformat. This is
very important because this story has gone viral. A guy
bought a computer from Goodwill for ten dollars to see
if he could revive it.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I guess he wanted to put video games on it
or something.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Oh, he revives it all right, And what he found
was hundreds of written reviews of gay pornography, no word
on it. If this person was like a renowned gay
pornography reviewer, reviews like essays.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Right well and no word And if.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Everybody knew that he was into this, you know for
all they know, we don't. We don't actually know. I'm
sure if you keep digging, you're gonna find out whose
computer it was. And I'm sure some somebody who's able
to revive old computers can can do that.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
But so we don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Maybe maybe this guy was a very well known gay
porn reviewer.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Maybe he was in fact gay.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Maybe it was no secret that he enjoyed this type
of material, buddy, if it was a secret. Yeah, so
this guy says, I wanted to install quake on this thing,
but now I feel bad for disturbing the tomb of gay.
This guy, he's a podcaster. He tweeted this. The rig
itself ooses early aughts. It's one of those gray and
(01:46):
black office enterprise numbers. You don't like the computers that
we used downstairs and probably still use. You know that
we're built in like two thousand and one. They were
like mostly black and they had some gray on him. Yeah,
so you look in there, it's gigabytes of d rips
and written critiques chronicling the past era of adult entertainment,
Thousands upon thousands of pages of extremely professional work, breaking
(02:08):
down tibillating titles like Soaked Insects on the Couch Volumes
one and two, and apparently it's all very professionally written.
But his tax documents are in there as well, a
bunch of a financial overview twenty sixteen IRS letter, but
also game movies three oh one through four four hundred oh.
(02:29):
So he was a very active reviewer and I love
it for him. But what I don't know is if
he wanted everyone to see his work upon his death,
or if he wanted to keep it, you know, keep
it a secret, keep it just for him. Maybe it
was his own little treasure trove. So the moral of
the story is if you take anything to goodwill, to
(02:49):
figure out how to do a very very hard to
delete on it. But I will say, you know, like
when my grandparents passed away and my mom was cleaning
out their house, there wasn't a lot. I don't know
what happened to my grandfather's computer. I think they just
donated it. I don't think there was a lot of
attention to detail in the moment of grief, you know
what I mean, like clearing stuff out, and it was
kind of like just get rid of it, you know
(03:10):
what I mean? Or don't we donated most of it.
But you know, it's like family came in, took what
they wanted, and then I think we donated pretty much
everything else or threw it away, you know, because they
wanted to empty the house. They want to sell the house.
They wanted to be done with this because they were sad.
We were all sad. But I don't know, you know,
I don't know what was on my grandfather's computer, And frankly,
I don't know that I want to be the guy
to go in there and have to find out, you
(03:31):
know what I mean, Like, what if it's like, all right, Christopher,
you know, g dad died, go in, get in there
and clear out his computer, Go ahead and do a
hard reset.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I'm like, okay, I have to take a look at
the browsing in history though.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
First I mean you got to and then you're like, oh, Grams,
what were you in?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Oh you oh, you're into that?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
You know, So this is I don't know, Like I
feel like maybe we need to invent a service or something,
because the other thing is you'd have to have I think.
I mean again, I'm I'm not I'm not ex I'm
not expert level tech savvy, which may surprise many of you.
But if I worked at the tech help desk, I
wouldn't be the next level of help. I would be
(04:11):
the introductory level of help.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I'd be the guy that was like, have you tried
turning it on and off? Have you unplugged it and
plugged it back in?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
You have it?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Okay, we're gonna have to expedite this. We'll not have
to move this up to level two. Okay, but we
got to come up with like a service where we'll
take the digital devices in some kind of a secure
box and then somehow we like magnets or something, we
have some way of like just making every all the
data disappear for you and you can put it in
your will that will handle this on your behalf, you know,
(04:41):
just all your digital devices get delivered to us, and
we just poof every day watching.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
That You're You're worried people will see because I'm not
even kind of worried if people see whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I don't I don't think I'm worried about anything. But
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I don't know that I want my legacy to be
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Pune, Volumes one.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Or nine, sounds great.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I mean I watched all nine. I mean, you know,
but you guys are the ones who follow like actual
themes and actors set.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I don't. I just sort of look at what's trending,
you know.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
I just sort of pop it up and say, oh,
this looks neat, you know, and didn't take it a
little look.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Sie loyal, loyal to my one girl. You're so loyal
that you probably don't pay for it. No, you're so
loyal that you look for free exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah, all business.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
I don't know. I mean, you don't have to say
what it is.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
But any of you guys, would you would you be
would all of you be comfortable with someone going through
your stuff?
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Okay, we already know, like, don't worry about it.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I don't think anybody would be surprised anything they see. But
I just I don't need that to be the legacy.
Like someone just texted eight five five five nine one
went oh three five My brother just passed away, and
I can't unsee his personal videos that he made.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, well why now hold on?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Now she found a.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Personal I'm assuming it was the same thing where they
went into the you know, into their computer to maybe
clear it out or see what was on there, and
only to find a folder that said personal videos, right.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Clearing out dead people's computers.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
That's the fist reason.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
No, but she's going through her brother's. I would be like,
throw it out.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I mean, but this is why we do This whole
story is why we can't do that.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
You might have to go in their computer for like
information to you know, settle a bill or as they came,
but the things pop up, like, for instance, I had
an aunt who got rushed to the hospital and I
had to go over to our house. I walk in
her bedroom and I see all types of toys that
I did not need to see. And to this day,
I still think about it, just randomly, like the things
(06:36):
that I saw, and I'll never think of her this say.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
That's what I'm saying. It's like, this is why we
can't just put stuff in the trash and assume.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Oh, no, I would damage that it will be you know,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
But I don't even know that I would damage.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
With my luck, i'd damage everything, but the party you
weren't supposed to know that you that you needed to damage.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
You know, I'd like I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I just throwed the power supply, but somehow the motherboard
and the RAM or whatever would still be there.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
And you know, I don't I don't know. I just
I need just handled for But.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Do you guys, you don't delete your history after everything?
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Oh no, okay, No, I just I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I don't know what people would find. I also have
I have a little bit and.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yours is seventies. Yours is straight.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Man like I already know.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And I'm trying to be you know, like above board
about this because it's a little bit early, but you
guys have heard me say over the years. I also
have a concern that I would have a heart attack
in the act of being alone, and then somehow, like
they would, you guys, after maybe like three or four
days of not showing up to work, somebody would probably
call and go, you know, hey, where's Fred. And then
(07:38):
somebody would have like to go to the house, my
mom or somebody and open the door only to find
me like there in that position with like you.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Know, Indiana Jones on you right exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
You know, and and so that I don't I don't
need that to be her final resting memory of me.
You know, I want her to think of something far
more noble, like me saving a pig or something, you
know what I mean, Like, I don't want it to
be me, you know, in that state embarrassed and what
if the facial expression at the end is what you're
(08:12):
frozen with, you know, when you're yourself, you know what
I'm talking about? That look of like shame that you have,
like briefly because you I don't know, because you were
alone and all by yourself, there's a brief moment of shame.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, you don't have that. No, you don't have that.
I don't know shame. I think it's more clarity, like
how did I do this? Why did I do this?
Like what am I going to do to that?
Speaker 5 (08:34):
I'm just like whoa, you know what I'm saying, Yeah,
like I got a lot of people have something with me?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Right?
Speaker 5 (08:41):
And you would say in that position, Fred, because you
live in a meat locker too, your your house is
like fifty well.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
And I would probably be I'd be shrink too. That
would be so bad.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Not only is he dead and he's watching weird stuff,
but oh he wasn't gifted either. Oh we had so
much more hope for our young son, our young son.
He's forty two. Someone texted, I did personal effects in
the military. I've seen things I can't unsee. Let me
see here. My dad and brother passed away in an accident.
My brother's phone was full of random pictures of women's
(09:12):
upper parts and I, oh, and they weren't his wife's.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
So that's not good. Hello, that's not good. Grandpa passed away.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Another text that we found boxes upon boxes of old
vhs adult videos. I'm talking black and white, vintage. That's
probably worse. Something no sound, you know, like the projectors movie. Yeah,
he's got one of those slide projectors that goes, Yeah,
(09:43):
he's got he's gotta push the button real fast and
make it look like it's active.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
He's got a flip book, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Yeah, it was just women showing their ankles. That was
what was racy at the time.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I saw the candle and spin that little people can
relate to this.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I've found my aunt's toys after she passed away. Didn't
need to see that.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Oh my gosh, an me, I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Yeah, people have got needs.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, my dad was sexting my mom though he was remarried.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Oh my goodness. See this is the kind of stuff.
And then this is how you're remembered as.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Opposed to you know, no, actually I don't think anybody
would be surprised to remember me.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
This lay
Guys.
Speaker 2 (00:00):

This guy, he's a podcaster. He tweeted this. The rig
itself ooses early aughts. It's one of those gray and
(01:46):
black office enterprise numbers. You don't like the computers that
we used downstairs and probably still use. You know that
we're built in like two thousand and one. They were
like mostly black and they had some gray on him. Yeah,
so you look in there, it's gigabytes of d rips
and written critiques chronicling the past era of adult entertainment,
Thousands upon thousands of pages of extremely professional work, breaking
(02:08):
down tibillating titles like Soaked Insects on the Couch Volumes
one and two, and apparently it's all very professionally written.
But his tax documents are in there as well, a
bunch of a financial overview twenty sixteen IRS letter, but
also game movies three oh one through four four hundred oh.
