Awesome man.
But anyways, man, what's beengoing on?
All right, man?
Well, as you know, jemma's mygirl.
So, um, I was messing aroundthe other day and I I'd seen
this recipe and and jemma's mylittle dog, as you guys know,
and uh I was I was like I wantto try a different kind of, uh a
treat for her.
So what I did was, um, I I'dseen this little easy family
recipe and and it was for adoggy ice cream, doggy ice cream
(02:48):
.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, doggy ice cream , dude, man dogs like animals,
like ice cream.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
They love ice cream and Gemma man I mean, she loves
her treats but the one thingabout it is in this product when
you make it, because it's madewith a cup of plain Greek yogurt
and we was on the plane and wehave all these extra yogurts
that we throw away from firstclass, and it was the vanilla
yogurt.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
So you made dog-eating ice cream treats for
Gemma from the plain yogurt?
Yeah, is what I'm hearing.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
All right, you thief.
It was in the trash man, hearyou thrown away anyways thrown
away.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, they're throwing that away, but anyway,
what it was is that I?
I took a couple of the um, thevanilla yogurts, uh, that was uh
going in the trash.
Before you sit there and sayanything else, they were in in
the trash.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I'm glad it's going to good use period instead of
the garbage.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, but you take two ripe bananas and then you
take a cup of Greek yogurt andyou take a half cup of peanut
butter and you definitely haveto.
It has to be unsweetened,because you don't want that.
What is that X-tol free?
I mean that one sugar, thatsweetener, that's really bad.
Uh, it's x no, no, I don't knowit's, it's um, it's x, x,
(04:14):
something.
It's um zola zola tall somethinglike that, but anyway it's a.
It's a sweetener you're notsupposed to have for dogs.
But then you add um a cup ofwater, you put it in a blender,
blend it and it comes up like areally runny pancake mix.
And what I realized is this isthat if you take an ice cube
(04:35):
tray and you pour it into an icecube tray and put it in the
freezer, freeze it and thenbreak it up into small pieces,
put it into another container,leave it in the freezer oh my
God, she absolutely freakingloves those damn things.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I was thinking, like you were saying ice cube trays.
I'm like who has?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
those.
Well, I'm going to make somefor you.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Like I haven't seen an ice cube tray in so many
years, like every one of myrefrigerators in my house, I'll
have they make.
Make ice, but it's so, does so,does mine, but you know, I
understand but like ice cubetray.
That's just an interestingthought.
It's popping my head.
I'm like that's perfect.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Here's a funny thing, right?
Okay, I have the ice ice maker,but I I actually make ice cube
tray, ice cubes in in um in thefreezer too.
Why?
Well, because I I've always got.
I mean, I'm going to the gym,I'm putting a bunch of ice in my
bottle and everything, and Iuse a lot of ice.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I mean, here's my thing.
I remember as a kid fillingthose stupid things up.
You're trying to balance thewater.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Those were the metal ones back then remember that?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, they had the metal ones.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
You had to lift it up and break the shit out of those
things.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
You'd shift the thing and it would break the ice.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Those were big-ass pieces of ice.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, but now they've got the plastic
ones and all these differenttypes of stuff you get the ones
made for the big balls.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
They put them in the drinks now.
Oh yeah, they have.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, they have all kinds of crazy stuff, but I mean
, I just haven't seen ice cubetrain so long.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Well, if you look in my freezer, you'll see three of
them, and one of them hadGemma's little treats in there.
But you guys, I'm telling you,if you have pets, a little bit
of Chobani Greek vanilla yogurtis really good, and half, like I
said, a cup of peanut butterand two ripe bananas, blend it
(06:27):
together, add a little water,pour it into your ice cube tray
and I'm telling you, your petswill love those freaking treats.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
The crazy thing is that I think I'm going to see
one day walking in.
I'm going to go over to yourhouse and it's going to be G and
Gemma licking on an ice cube.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I'm going to bring one for you on a popsicle stick,
because he's a peanut butter,and you put peanut butter in
anything he wants.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
some too.
I love peanut butter.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
But you know she don't have crunchy, she has to
have creamy, creamy, creamy.
But anyway, yeah, so got thatfor Gemma.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
But you know what it's like.
Uh, I was thinking about thatthe other day too, about all
this freaking crazy road ragepeople, because we travel back
and forth to indiana, you know,like once, twice a month, it
seems like.
So that's about four and a halfhour drive and there are some
crazy ass people on the road.
I don't know why.
Why are you gonna get allworked up about this stuff?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
the thing was killing me, though, is that it wasn't
even on the road.
Oh, actually on the road, butyou know, when you pull up to a
light, yeah, and somebody'sdoing something, and they're
doing something on their phone,I'm like whatever, I'm behind
them, I'm waiting.
I'm waiting the light's been agreen.
I give them a reminder, youknow what I get the finger and
start cursing at me.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, like you did something wrong, I'm like are
you kidding me?
I had that just the other day.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I just gave you a little beep reminder.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I tried to tap the horn, yeah, but it was just a
tap yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
And I was like just to keep going right.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
And then you get crazy about this dude.
I just can't stand the phonestuff.
This is the whole distractionof the phone.
You know you see a car swerving, a car coming at you, crossing
the yellow line.
They're on their phone.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Like you see it every day they're just nuts, though,
I mean they're crazy, I meanjust for a little, a little beep
.
And then you want to flipsomebody else and plus, here's
the thing too.
Remember this, okay, rememberthis.
When you're starting flippinganybody, you don't know how
crazy-ass that other person issitting next to you that you
start doing that.
Now, that person might be ontheir last thought in their head
(08:40):
and you just took them over theedge.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah, took them over the edge and now they're going
to ready to take you out.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, you think your road rage is bad.
Your ass whooping will be 10worse times worse than that road
rage.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Or that gun comes out .
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Get your ass shot.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Lots of concealed weapons here in this state.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
It's just stupid.
I mean seriously.
I mean get off your phones andif you don't want to get beeped
at, but I mean to flip somebodyoff and do all that.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Nah, it's just ridiculous, it's funny because
you, you take this wholeconversation and put it in New
York.
It's like so they beeped at youand everybody's beeping.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Everybody's, everybody's.
Yeah, it's just.
They actually just want to hearwhat kind of horn you got.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah, like, literally they beep even when you go.
I yeah, yeah, all right, what'sgoing on with you, dude?
You know, um, so we're gearingup right now we're planning on a
trip to um amelia island withmy nieces.
We're gonna go on a littlesummer vacation trip and, uh,
(09:37):
we've been trying to plan allthe logistics for that that trip
and, uh, amelia, um, my littleniece, she's like all pumped up
because we've decided that we'regonna take.
We always take our nieces andnephews on vacations and stuff
and like, normally, like wheneach one of them get of age,
graduate, we take them on a trip.
We let them like pick yourdestination, we'll take you
(10:00):
wherever you want to go.
You know, like.
So it seems like all our niecesand nephews have always picked
hawaii and stuff, but this islong before, like, this niece is
six years old and her name'samelia and her sister's name is
reagan, so reagan.
Of course we got to give her atrip because we're taking a
million to a million island, sowe're going to take reagan to
reagan library and reagan'sbookworm, so she loves she's
(10:22):
like they even thought of it aslike crazy.
So she's all pumped up.
But we're planning this tripright now and dude, it's so
expensive.
It is so expensive to like doall this stuff.
Like I mean, when you starttalking about, like summer trips
and first of all, the lastthing I want to do is do a
summer trip into Florida in thesummer, that is like the worst
(10:44):
thought, like I don't want to gothere In wintertime I'm all
about it, but summer no.
And so Amelia Island is whatwe're planning right now and
yeah, it's just like it's wild,but they are so pumped it's so
crazy.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I mean, they're like Well, I mean, I can understand
her because, amelia, you get togo to Amelia, my islands, cause
I mean, how cool is that She'll?
She'll get to stand there andtake a picture.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah, on, I'm hoping there's going to be like a,
somewhere where we can get tosome like a, you know, a poster,
a bill, you know some, signsomething that says Amelia
Island.
We'll take that picture.
So that's going to happen, youknow cause?
We're gonna do it with Reagan,with the Reagan library and all
that stuff.
So yeah, and then the otherthing, man, that's happened is,
you know, my health is stillshitty and all this stuff, and I
(11:34):
got all this fricking pick thewrong insurance.
It's me this year, I don't know.
Did I talk to you about that?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, yeah, we talked about it because you were
talking to me about it beforeand I had looked into it and I
was like it didn't fit my bill,but then it didn't fit yours
either.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Right, and the after fact.
I picked this insurance wherethe co-payer or the deductible
that has to be met before theyreally start paying for anything
is like six grand.
And so I'm like damn.
So I went in and I like plannedall this stuff and I'm like you
know what?
I got to get one of those HSAcards.
(12:11):
And you know, and one of thethings with this insurance I
picked was the HSA card companyis going to contribute 1500
bucks, and so I said, well, I'lldo 1500 bucks and all this
stuff.
And and so I I've already wentblowing through all that stuff.
And you know, on my way to$6,000 for the year because of
my heart and all this stuff,right, and then my heart, you
know they're talking about I gotto have another ablation.
(12:32):
So I'm thinking, oh, I'm goingto, I'm going to blow, I'm going
to definitely pay this thisyear because if I have this
surgery, that surgery is goingto be on a hundred thousand plus
whatever.
And so I'm sitting herestruggling with all these
thoughts and trying to figureout how I'm going to do this.
And you know, we got moneysaved and all this stuff and I'm
(12:53):
I know we got it.
I'm not worried about us nothaving this stuff.
But, out of the blue, carolcomes home the other day and
she's like hey, I'm flying withMissy and Missy tells me that
Jimmymy, you know, jimmy too.
Yeah.
Another pilot says that hey, um, you know, when we did our
contract and stuff, they gave usthis um credit card and we all
(13:17):
got this credit card and um,it's this hsa card and we and I
think there's like um 26 000 inthis card that the company put
in for him if you can see myface right now, I was beyond
livid man.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I'm like so you had an unknown benefit no, no it was
.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I had an unknown benefit that's been sitting up
in her desk upstairs for thelast two years of this hsa card.
Now I've set aside money in mypaycheck to cover some of these
expenses and stuff.
Right, and she already had thiscard.
Right there, dude.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
That's a damn good day, sean Dude.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I was happy and I was pissed.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yeah, but that's a damn good day.
I was happy and pissed.
I'd have been more happy thanpissed.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I'm like you're telling me all this stuff.
And then she was like sofocused on this car because they
had kind of sold it to themLike they had like their, their,
uh, their, what is a back payand all this stuff.
They couldn't put an all thismoney that they were owed,
whatever they agreed to, intoone lump sum without this tax.
So they were looking for driptax breaks.
So this was one of the vehiclesthey decided to do in their
(14:26):
contract and so I had no ideaabout it.
But if I would have known aboutit, like in the beginning of
the year when we're doinginsurance, I would have been
like okay, but do you get tokeep your?
money do I get to keep my money?
Yeah, um well, I've alreadyspent my money.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I think I know, but you forget.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I've already blown through all that money that I'd
like set aside and all thisstuff and I paid out of of my
pocket and all this stuff.
And why are we paying out ofpocket?
When we got $26,000 sitting upin her desk, she, she literally
thought it was like, oh, we canuse this and I can put this in
the retirement fund, becauseonce you get to the retirement
age, if you still have money inyour HSA, you can like roll it
(15:03):
over into four, one K oh hell.
no, sean's got to get fixed.
Yeah, I'm like honey.
My heart is going bananas rightnow.
I said I'm thinking I'll get toretirement.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
It's a wonder you didn't need to defib on that day
.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Dude man.
I was happy and I was so mad.
At the same time I was like areyou kidding me?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
But you know, truthfully, the one, that that
time of year I hate insurance Idon't care.
You know, going through andtrying to figure out which one
to which one to take, we have abunch of different um insurance
uh that we have to look at andman, it's tough, you gotta
figure, you have to figure itout like when you work for a big
corporation, like we do, andthat they offer a lot of
(15:46):
benefits.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I mean the one thing about our job is we do work here
for our benefits, because thebenefits is what kind of drives
it I mean we make.
We make good money now, but inthe beginning, when we first got
this job, we weren't in it forthe money, we were just in for
the benefits like the flyingbenefits and all the pension
retirement everything all thatstuff.
That's what it was all about.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Airlines.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
It's still mostly about that.
You know like, benefits is whatwe're really concerned about,
and the insurance plans thatthey come up with and offer to
us.
I mean, I think this year wehad like I feel like there was
like 20 different insuranceplans.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
That's what I'm saying.
It's confusing.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
That's just the health plans, right, the normal,
you know, medical type of thing, and we're not including
wrapping into like dental and I,I and all the other stuff they
offer too.
But it's complicated to like.
Look at it.
You need, you need a month tolike, just like, decipher this
whole thing and I guarantee younext year, my, I guarantee you
next year, my ass will be theredeciphering for the whole month,
(16:48):
for the whole month.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
And I guarantee you won't be on the same program.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I am not going to be on the same program, and I will
not be.
I'll be in a program that'sgoing to be a little bit more
beneficial, because this yearhas been rough man.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Just remember, Carol's got that other 26 grand
just sitting there, since youain't doing nothing with it.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And then here's the other thing with the thing she,
since you ain't doing nothingwith it.
And then here's the other thingwith the thing she takes a
credit card right.
So she takes it and she's likebought new glasses.
She goes do you think I can useit for this?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I'm like yeah, I'm like honey, you can use it.
I can actually picture her too.
I can picture you looking ather, knowing that you just had
26 grand sitting in the car.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Dude and we were worried about like, oh, we're
going to have to pull this outof our pocket and budget for
this, and blah, blah, blah.
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Sitting on the table.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Sitting there because she ain't know.
And here's my thing, like withall this stuff, and I'm always
on her about this you knowworking at a company and
everything, and it goes foreverybody.
If you work at a company, thebig corporation, you get a
contract, especially if you'rein a union situation where
you've got contracts and rules.
Dude, know the game, know therules, because the more you know
(17:56):
rules, the better your game'sgoing to be.
It's just like golf the betteryou know the rules, the lower
your scores.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
How many times did we talk about that in our job?
That people, they, they havethis contract they don't know
shit about the contract right?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
they do not know anything.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Contract yeah but you ask them what the rate of pay
is.
Yeah, they'll know it they'llknow the pay the only thing that
they know out of that damncontract is the rate of pay and
that's it.
I mean, they'll know they mightknow a little bit, but the
majority of that contract, noidea.
Same thing in health care theyhave no idea.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
The only thing that they know is that they have to
pay them either 25 for a visitor 40 for a specialist yeah,
they know they, just they haveno, no clue that's it and unless
you're in a situation where you, like, are in a health
situation or have somebody inyour family that are in a health
situation, you have to pay thislike you're not going to be
(18:48):
hyper focused on it, it's justlike something that we just do.
But I would tell every all youyoungsters out there, pay
attention to shit, know therules read your contract.
Read all that stuff, you knowwhat?
Speaker 2 (18:59):
they do.
It annoys me too, especially inour line of work, is that when
they don't know the contract,they go to social media and they
throw it out there.
And guess what?
You just had 49 answers thatwere wrong about the contract
because their ass didn't know iteither.
And the one that was right.
You can't decipher it becauseyou have no idea what the hell
(19:19):
the contract says, so you justthrew it out there to this ocean
of people that have no freakingidea, just like you.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah, that's not the place that you go for uh
information about your contract.
Nope, nope, nope, talk to aunion rapper, talk to freaking
somebody in the company orsomebody else or another uh
employee of your company.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Don't, don't google it hey, man, I'm gonna let you
talk about this next one.
This dude was going to disneyand he was uh, he was taking his
family.
Since you're going to, you gotplans for Universal, I'm going
to let you go ahead and startthis one, yeah man.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
So here's the thing the cost to take a family of
four to Disney today isastronomical and this kind of
sparked the whole thing.
Yeah, I'm planning for thisthing, but we also ran into this
article about what it takes,because right now it's like
Disney time, because you knowall the people that are out of
school, the kids are out ofschool and Disney and all the
(20:17):
parks are coming in andeverybody's getting ready to go,
but the family expense and thecost to do that is so
astronomical.
It's so astronomical.
I was like blown away when Iwas doing like the research and
comparison about this stuff,because we're getting ready to
take after Amelia Island, we'regoing to go three days over to
Orlando and then we're going totake them to Universal and
(20:39):
Universal has a new park comingup, opened up actually here May
22nd like in a couple days.
They're going to have a brandnew park called Epic Universe
and I mean things sound awesome.
I mean Super Mario Land isgoing to be in there.
They got a whole new HarryPotter section.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
I would go to Universal with you.
Yo hell yes, me and you atUniversal.
Me and you would have afreaking blast at Universal.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
It is like it's so like Universal.
I like Universal Parks andstuff.
There's only one aspect aboutUniversal Parks that I don't
like is that they are superheavy in the virtual rides and
some of those virtual rides dude.
Oh man, it turned my stomachlike crazy.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Well, I don't want to go, anything that goes round
and round.
But you know something as faras like rides and shit like that
, that I'll go on there with you, it's not, it's not like ground
around, like that.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
If you been to universal, I mean they have
these like uh, so I went throughthe first harry potter one, uh,
when they first opened it up,and uh, you were like flying on
a broom.
So you're sitting in his car,but you feel like you're flying
on this broom of harry potter,like playing quidditch.
You know like you're, you'redoing all this stuff, but this
(21:53):
thing, it goes on and on and on.
Like there's a certain pointwhere you were like, can I get
off the broom?
Can somebody get me off thisbroom?
Damn it, I want, I need to getout of here now.
Okay, and like you will closeyour eyes because the all you're
doing is looking at screen.
The car is like turning andit's moving through this ride,
but you're just looking atscreen.
(22:13):
So it's like a wraparoundscreen, so it's like virtual
reality, right, and so if youget motion sickness and stuff,
dude, you will get motionsickness.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I had to close my eyes.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
It's actually from the middle of an IMAX.
You talked about this before.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
But it's not as fast.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
So like the speed of this too, like the cars are
moving at like two miles perhour.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Okay, so it's not that bad.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
But it's not.
You're flying through the skyand the car keeps twisting from
screen to screen to screen toscreen, and it is, it's.
They have a lot of rides likethat, dude.
They got transformer rides likethat spider-man's rides like
that harry potter's like that,and they, they're all similar
rides.
So you'll see, if you ever wentwe go, dude you'll be like, oh
shit, my stomach's getting kindof queasy because they they're
(23:11):
long rides and they just keepgoing on and on.
But I was like I was ready getmy ass off a broom anyways.
so, anyways, let's let me talkto you about this cost of this
thing.
So, like an average familygoing to uh, the park, if you're
going to Disney to pay for fourpeople, you're going to pay
$160 per person to get into thepark, so that's $640 right there
(23:34):
.
So then you go in there and yougot the park Like you would
think, like Disney owns thiswhole entire like universe.
They make the parking free,come on.
No, they're still getting you$30 for the parking for the day,
and then you got then that'sper vehicle.
So don't go with more than onevehicle, right?
I mean $30 for a vehicle.
And then you're talking aboutfood.
(23:55):
So one thing about Disney isthat they will let you bring in
food.
So that's interesting.
A lot of people don't know thatyou can bring in food, but most
people won't.
They're going to go there andenjoy the park.
They're going to go there,enjoy the park.
They're going to.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
You know the fest.
Yeah, they don't want to schleparound.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah, yeah, I want, I want, I want to go and I'll get
a hot dog or a burger orwhatever.
Get some snacks, and you'redefinitely it's in the middle of
summer in florida.
How much, how many drinks areyou going to be buying?
Exactly right, I mean it isgoing to be going crazy.
So the estimated total forbeverages, for for uh, for just
for food, is 200 to $250 perperson.
That is absolutely crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah, I mean, it's like crazy, it's crazy, Like you
gotta.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
You got all these, like like it's a monster bill,
and so you you can't take thekids without giving any
souvenirs, right.
So you got to throw in thesouvenir budget, which is 200 to
$400 for a family of four toget souvenirs, Because you know
you can get one of them.
Broomsticks Everybody needsthose damn mouse ears.
You get the broomstick, that'suniversal.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Oh yeah, but you're going to universal.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
And so then, yeah, then if you think about oh, I
want to speed up this, I don'twant to stand in lines, you got
them now.
The, the lightning lane, themulti-pass, they bump you up to
15 per person.
You got another 60 added on toI mean and everybody else had
that same idea yeah, soeverybody exactly, and so you
got.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
But you'll be surprised how many people don't
do it like I know, but you'll besurprised how many people do do
it yeah, so anyhow then.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
So you're looking at about eleven hundred dollars
plus for mickey mouse for oneday with your family at the park
.
I mean that's just kind Anyhow.
So you're looking at about$1,100 plus For Mickey Mouse For
one day with your family at thepark.
I mean that's just kind of likean average total going and
that's almost probably a lowestimate of what it's going to
cost you, because you're nottalking about adding in all the
experiences If you take yourdaughter there and she wants to
(25:45):
get dressed up like a princessand all that stuff.
Go have lunch with the princessor something another 500 bucks,
you know like that's you knowit's pictures with all the
animals you know breakfast withall the you know characters and
stuff like that.
Yeah, each one of those thingsadd up, so this is just like a
average general cost, but we'retaking the a million Reagan to
(26:09):
universal.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Let's see what Sean's going to have to pay.
Yeah, so we're going toprobably like cheaper for you.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Yeah, you would think for me that was sarcasm, dude.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah, here it comes.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
So the admission per adult is $139.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Oh, that's cheap, Sean yeah $139 per day.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
And then then, if you got two children, you got the
children's at $134.
They get a $4 discount.
Oh, that's a good discount,it's a deal.
And so, yeah, you got $546going in the door to get into
that new park that opens here ina few days, and so you get that
they're charging $ 32 forparking.
(26:49):
And then on top of that you gotanother, the food costs, which
is pretty similar to the disneyand stuff like that.
So so you got an estimated foodcost of, uh, probably about 140
bucks per person going in there.
And then you got the souvenirssame budget, 200 to 400 for the
budget, right.
So it, it's pretty much almostthe same about 1100 plus dollars
(27:14):
to get in, you know, for anaverage cost to do universal as
well.
So it doesn't matter if you'redoing mickey, it doesn't matter
if you're doing any of thefreaking you're into um, you
know, minions or harry potter,whatever they're gonna get you.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
But the best part is that when you have to go on the
rides, you have to go with thegirls.
I have to go with the girls,yeah, so you're going to be sick
and you're going to be paying alot of money.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Dude, here's the thing.
The only good thing about thegirls is that they get scared.
Really easy.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Don't want to get off the broomstick.
Yeah, they're young right now.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
So they're not going to like they're going to go on.
If they go on something and getsick like that, the next ride
that does is that they're notgoing to do it.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
So you'll be safe.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Yeah, those will be safe.
But I mean, I actually want togo to this epic universe.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Now will Carol go actually on those rides.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Dude Carol's a freaking kid too.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Oh, is she, oh yeah kid too.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Oh yeah, she loves doing that.
Here's our.
Here's the thing.
So we would for two, I mean fora long time.
All of our first generation.
These are great nieces I'mtalking about right now, all the
first nieces and nephews.
Cedar point was.
This was their vacation, summervacation.
They come here for cedar pointand we take them to cedar point
every year like that was a bigthing.
One week here in ohio and wedid cedar point a couple days it
was.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
They loved it and all of them talk about him, like
every one of those if you guyshave never been to cedar point,
make it a point of going,because it is a bomb of a time
yeah man, the roller coastercapital of the world.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I mean, if you're into roller coasters and all
that stuff and I am.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
I love they got a new dragster, right the new.
They got a new dragster.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
They got a new roller coaster I don't know what the
name of it is, but I just saw avideo of it and the coaster goes
up this hill.
When it gets to the top of thehill it flattens out and it gets
on a track and the track isoverhanging, okay, and there's a
end to the track that doesn'thave a barrier or anything, just
into the track and the coasterslides onto that and the whole
(29:12):
damn car tips straight down tillyour 90 degrees vertical,
connects onto the neck, the trapbelow, and drops you.
It dude, it was it is.
And then then you keepfinishing your ride, twisting
and turning and flipping upsidedown.
I was like the first of all, Ican't not remember.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
I'm trying to remember the roller coaster we
were on that it did that.
Actually it went to.
It looked like the abyss, right.
I mean you're just going offand it just stops and you're
looking at nothing but sky.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Yeah, and then it reverses and goes the other way.
No, but this isn't a reverse, Iknow.
But I'm saying Go out to theedge and tip over straight.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
I've seen that.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Actually it looks pretty cool Because Disney has
one.
What is that?
The Matterhorn or somethinglike that.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
It's in Animal Kingdom and the Yeti, something
like that.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Anyways, I'm sure everybody out there is yelling
the name out.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
But it goes up and it stops and then it goes
backwards.
But when it goes backwards itswitches tracks and you go back
through the mountain and allthis stuff.
It's, it's pretty wild, um.
But anyways, man, this wholetrip, this whole cost, they get
you in this time and one day,one day, it's astronomical I am,
I feel, for all the parentsright now, like right now, when
(30:32):
school gets out, from that time,those three months that
school's out, like you are like,it's a big cost, huge cost I
feel sorry for the parents whenyou go into those um, those
souvenir shops and that kid isscreaming that he wants that
saber or he wants the broom atthe Universal or he wants some
Disney thing.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
And you're sitting there thinking Jesus, I just
dropped 500 in that last place,dude, I mean when you walk.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
The last time I was at the park and I was at Disney
and Star Wars was my thing,right, they got the whole Star
Wars park.
They got an area now likelightsabers are one thing they
used to get you.
It was 300 bucks a lightsaberand you build your own life
center.
Right now they got build yourown robot.
So they got the like bb8s andall these different robots that
you could build and customizeand everything.
(31:20):
So you know you're droppinganother three, four hundred
bucks for a robot.
So I mean, and then you'll seefamilies walking out of there.
They got like three, four, eachkid has a robot.
I'm like, you got to be rich togo to these places.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Well, that's why they have defibrillators all over
Disney.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
That's exactly it.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
All right, Well, good luck with that man.
Anyway, hey, listen, did youcheck out that video of that
ship, that ship that ran intothe Brooklyn Bridge, Dude the
tall ship that hit the BrooklynBridge.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
That was crazy.
And you see one mast snap andthen it just keeps on going.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
The next mast snaps.
And guys were falling.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Yeah, there were guys that were actually up on the
freaking mast that when it hit.
I can't even imagine that.
First of all, I don't knowwhose fault this is, but
somebody's going to be in aworld of freaking hurt right now
.
But the tall ships are comingin for that whatever Memorial
Day weekend and they have likethe celebration of whatever that
they bring these tall ships in.
(32:24):
Have you seen like any of thosetall ships ever Like one time
they have it here on Lake Erie?
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Have you seen like any of those tall ships ever?
Like one time they have it hereon lake erie.
Have you seen those?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I wassitting there thinking about
this.
So with this ship, though, itwas 297 feet.
Yeah, okay, if you were, if youwere taking your ship through
there and you get your 297 feetright, you're a captain of that
ship and you're thinking 297feet.
Wouldn't you want to know howtall the bridge is?
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Well, you would think , and that's what I was saying
In the videos and stuff, Ithought they were being towed
and so I think the towingcompany is going to be the one.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
But any ship, though, any ship traveling through any
port.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Any waterway, it doesn't matter what you're in.
Any vehicle, whatever, youdon't go by an estimate.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
You're not going by an estimate.
It looks good.
Yeah, I think you're going toclear it.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
It looks good.
I think it looks good untilit's gone.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
I mean I only have like hundreds of millions of
dollars of products on thiscargo ship.
But hey, yeah, no, it looks.
No, you know exactly how manyinches you have of clearance
Exactly.
So I mean, if you knew yourship the masts were 297 at the
top point of this you'd thinkyou would have known how tall
(33:35):
the bridge was.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
First of all, brooklyn Bridge is way up there
too.
I mean, I think it was likeBrooklyn Bridge is like 230 or
something like that is theclearance for it.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
At the highest point.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
At the highest point.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
They weren't at the highest point.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
The ship was 297.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Yeah, but they weren't even at the highest
point, they were at the lowestpoint.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
They were over on the edge.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
So I mean, when you're looking, it just blew my
mind because you're looking at297.
Oh yeah, we got three feet ofclearance at the highest point.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Well, here's the thing.
How many ships have gonethrough there?
Yeah, and I don't think I'veever heard of anybody hitting
the Brooklyn Bridge Nope, Everin my life.
You know like it's likesomebody fell asleep on the job.
Somebody fell off, Actually itwas really sad, sad for those
families that lost the twopeople that died.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Two of them, two guys , lost their lives because of
this and if you've seen thepictures, it was really crazy
and sad.
You see the pictures of theseguys, I mean, literally hanging
on to these masks becausethey're getting knocked off
these masks.
Dude, that's crazy.
It was nuts man.
I mean I could not believe it.
But it's all over.
It is all over the news.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
I mean anybody can see this yeah, you can Google
this the tall ship hittingBrooklyn Bridge and you'll see
the pictures and the video,because it was almost as like
slow motion as it's happening.
You're like it's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
I think it took out all three of them, though right
all three of the masks, I thinkI think there was two.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
There was two, but I don't know yeah, but anyway,
check it out.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Okay, listen, uh, got it, we're gonna.
We're gonna head around theglobe around the globe, around
the globe man all right, we hada captain, john, and he got
locked out of the cockpit lockedout of the cockpit.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
How does that even happen?
Speaker 2 (35:18):
well, when he okay, they were at the um, uh, the top
of descent and he had to go outand use the bathroom, which you
know they never do yeah, right,and you know, every flight
attendant in the world right nowis laughing yeah, they.
They never use it right at thetop of the descent.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
I think it's that nervous feeling, you know, like
okay, now I got to go land thisthing.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Okay, if he wasn't nervous.
If he was not nervous beforeand he was having a problem with
the bowel movement, he wouldn'thave had it shortly after that.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Right.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Because when he went to knock on the door and call in
the cockpit, nobody answered.
Nobody answered.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Nobody answered.
Nope, nice.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
The first officer had passed out.
He went to sleep, fell asleep,yep Yikes For about 10 minutes.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
That's perfect At the top of Descent.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Did you know how busy they are at the top of Descent?
Do you know how that captain iscurrently?
Speaker 1 (36:08):
shitting his pants.
Yeah, he's like shitting hispants, shit in his pants yeah,
he's like shit and kind of likewhat's going on up there, like
what the heck right?
Yeah, I don't dude that.
There's a whole bunch of thingsthat went wrong in that thing.
We, we there's some otheraspects to that whole situation
that we, we are not going totalk about.
We're not going to talk aboutit but the, uh, the, that should
never happen, I mean, and howyou get locked out, come on,
(36:29):
come on crazy, absolutely crazy.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
But, like I said, I can imagine if he had a bowel
movement problem he wouldn'thave it right then, man he was,
because it was definitely you,definitely you definitely run
back in there.
All right, hey, remember theconcord.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Hell yeah, tell me about it, man concord man,
concord's cool plane, supersonicplane, first supersonic plane
ever freaking be invented.
It was a gas guzzling monster.
Each one of the uh aircraftcosts about um 23 million
dollars to produce.
It was uh in 1970 and uh today.
(37:06):
That would be like 170 milliondollars per plane just to get
that thing in the air.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
But um do you remember how they used to go on
and on about the Concord?
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Dude, you heard nothing about the Concord's
coming in here.
The Concord, like it was anevent to see the Concord, right,
right and that's.
And it was so interesting to me, like as a kid, like like, oh,
the Concord, that's so cool tobe like able to fly on the
Concorde and do this thing, butthe lifespan of that plane was
not too long, nope, no, I meanlike.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Well, I mean you look at the cost.
I mean when you start lookingat the cost of it, it's
unfreaking.
Believable.
I mean because exactly what yousaid you're like oh, the
Concorde's coming in there.
Well, no question whether itwas empty.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Yeah, they were saying like I mean cost-wise,
you're saying yeah, jet fuel, itburned 6,700 gallons of fuel
every hour.
So even though it was fast, itwas burning through fuel like
unbelievable.
So just to do a three I mean dothe math on that for a
three-hour flight.
(38:14):
Like it's lots and lots of fuelbut they, they never carry that
many people.
Well, yeah, there wasn't thatmany people because, uh, it was
a very expensive plane to flyand so that the only airlines
that did it, which was, um, airfrance and british airways, they
were being subsidized.
So, like the only it was it was, it was kind of like just a.
They were doing it to do itRight.
(38:34):
You know it was a, it was acool thing to do and in the
who's who of who's, you know,all the famous people and stuff
were flying on it and it onlyexisted until the damn thing
crashed.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Right, like you were talking about earlier, is that
there was never a nextgeneration Concord.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Yeah, yeah, they never like.
It was interesting to me whenyou look back in the history in
the Concorde like everygeneration of plane, it doesn't
matter, you can look at itwhatever you want to look at war
planes, commercial planes,private planes they are always
developing and enhancing thatproduct and continue to do that.
But the Concorde was one planethat they made it and never
(39:15):
planned for a predecessor.
Like it was a plane that justwas in that period and then when
the plane like didn't existanymore and they shut it down,
it was like gone and we wereghosts.
Supersonic planes for like 30,40 years now, like there's been
no talk of like a supersonicplane.
The only thing you talk aboutsupersonic planes would be like
(39:37):
fighter jets in the military andthings like that.
You know, like that, like ustraveling.
It went from Concorde to nowwe're talking about space travel
, right, right, that was thewhole thing.
Everybody's like hey, we'regoing to do pastures into space
and everybody's like the ex-Muskand Bezos were racing to figure
(39:58):
out who's going to do intospace and the supersonic kind of
like conversation, kind of likefell to the side.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
But if you think of it back then during that time,
$12,000 for a round trip toLondon.
I mean that plane only had 100seats.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
That's why it was the who's the who's.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
I know that plane only had 100 seats.
That's why it was the who's.
The who's, I know, but still$12,000 back then, that's a lot
of money.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
So you're saying the $12,000 per ticket to get on the
plane, right?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Yeah round trip.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Okay.
So I went to college in Omaha,nebraska, and the owner of
Godfather's Pizza lived in Omaha, nebraska, and he decided that
he wanted to charter the Concordto come into Omaha and pick up
his family and take them toLondon.
Okay, and he did that.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
He made a shitload of pizza, sean.
If you remember, when we wereyoung, godfather's Pizza was in
every mall in the United States.
It was everywhere, everywhere.
You didn't go to the mallwithout eating.
Godfather's pizza was in everymall in the united states, it
was everywhere, everywhere, Imean, you know you.
You didn't go to the mallwithout eating godfather's pizza
, so that's the reason why hisass flowed that concord, but I
mean he charted the thing.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
So it was just him and his family on that plane
going direction.
He didn't like fill up the restof the seats, it was just him.
So you can imagine what thecost was.
I have no idea, do the mathyourself, but it was a.
It was a buttload of money toget it done.
But concord was a cool plane.
I mean it was just a reallyneat plane to uh fly on and all
that stuff.
(41:22):
I never got a chance to do it.
I have a friend that his brotherhe has.
He's an aviation like nut andever since he was a little kid
he was like and he got thechance to like travel by himself
and doing the non-revving stuff.
He literally would go ondifferent companies when they're
doing like these inauguralflights or he would literally
(41:43):
fly all over the world just todo fly on the plane.
And so he flew on the concordeand before it actually got
retired and all that stuff, souh it it's a wild plane.
But now there is a new companyout there that actually is has
the conversation about uh,supersonic and that company is
called boom, boom, boom, baby.
(42:05):
And uh, they have just actuallyflew the first uh version of
the boom model in their researchand production of the new
aircraft that are going to besupersonic aircraft, and uh
three new three companies in theworld now have bought into this
boom uh company to actually doair travel.
(42:26):
They have a model out that'scalled the overture and it's
going to hold like so theConcorde held 100 people.
This one's going to have 64 to80 passengers.
It's going to be a smallerplane but it's going to still do
Mach 1.7.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
But I can see it, though.
I can see it being moreproductive and more economically
feasible during this time,because there's more
millionaires now yeah, well,here's.
So I mean there's more peoplethat would actually fly that.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
And the technology, though the technology is not
going to burn the fuel like itis.
No, the Concorde reminded me ofthe Blackbird in the military.
You know the Blackbird was thesame type of thing.
When the Blackbird took off, itate so much fuel that there was
three tankers that actuallythree air tankers that would
follow behind it, because Iworked with this plane in the
military, so I know what'swhat's going on here.
(43:19):
And it would refuel in air andthe blackbird would have to fly
the slowest it could possiblyfly and the the tankers would
have to fly the fastest it couldpossibly fly to tank refuel it,
because the plane wouldliterally ooze fuel out on the
ground as it's taken off.
I mean it was, it's wild.
So I mean we don't, in this dayand age of all this you know
(43:43):
green energy and all that stuffwhen there's that would never,
ever fly to invent somethingthat acted or behaved like that.
So these planes are actuallyusing biofuels and different.
You know the engines are goingto be designed so they're going
to be very economical and allthat stuff.
So the cost maybe to build themmight be expensive, but the
cost to fly them is going to bemuch cheaper than what the
(44:05):
Concorde was.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
It'll be interesting to see what Boom does.
But hey, listen, I have to tellyou about this.
We had another, um uh, flightattendant, a drug mule, drug
mule.
It was a former, a formerBritish cabin crew member.
Oh man, stupid and Sri Lanka.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
Dude, this is why would you ever, ever participate
in anything like that?
I mean, I guess if you're inthe dead or whatever, but I mean
just stupid, you're gonna getcaught.
In this day and age, there's somuch technology out there to
catch you, like for you to likebypass that you're gonna be
crazy.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
This girl was only 21 years old 21 when, when she
goes to prison sean, she's to domore time in prison than she's
been alive.
Speaker 1 (44:55):
Oh for sure man, she might not get out.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Here's the crazy part , right.
I mean, she's flown back andforth through the countries.
The flight it was arriving fromBangkok.
Could you imagine if you gotcaught in Bangkok?
Forget about it.
I mean, she got caught on thebest side of that flight.
Could you imagine gettingcaught in Bangkok?
Speaker 1 (45:18):
Dude, there's no way, there's no way.
You're gone forever We've hadthat conversation before.
Yeah, you're gone forever.
Yeah, I mean those prisons andthe freaking medieval treatment
and stuff that they got done.
You know they say you ain'tgetting a cell and a colored TV
like here in the United States.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
Nope, Three square meals, yikes, $1.15 million
worth of cannabis.
That was found in her leggings.
Now, I can't understand howthey missed that in bangkok,
because they're they're usually,they're usually pretty spot on
right there.
But, man, did she get luckythat she got it on the other end
(45:57):
, because bangkok, nope, she'dhave been gone first of all, the
amount that she's toting,that's a lot it's like it's one
thing to like bring.
Speaker 1 (46:06):
Okay, you're bringing one brick.
Yeah, she was said she hadmultiple, multiple bricks, like
bricks of the of this uh and uh,the comparison of how much the
value was I thought was kind offunny.
You know, 460 million, uh, srilanka rupees, which is worth 50,
(46:27):
1 million, 500, whatever itdon't mean shit she's gonna be
in prison.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
She ain't't going to spend nothing.
Let me tell you anybody thinkabout doing this.
This is why you all messed up aknown crew member for us,
because you do stupid shit likethis.
But you know you're dumb,you're going to get caught every
single time.
Speaker 1 (46:44):
Dude, this reminds me of a story that happened back
in the day too.
Was this guy, wasn't?
He wasn't uh doing drugs oranything, he just thought you
know, I'm gonna uh, I'm gonnamake some bucks on my flight,
and uh.
So every time he'd uh fly overto whatever country he was going
to, he would uh bring cellphones with him.
(47:04):
And so he was.
He'd come on the plane and he'dhave like four or five, ten
cell phones with him and he'd goover and he'd sell them
wherever he was flying to.
Like you know, say he was goingto bangkok, he'd sell them over
there because they couldn't gethim at the time right.
So he was just packing, you know, doing all this stuff, not
paying any taxes, not paying,not even claiming him all this
stuff, and he was doing it onthe job.
(47:25):
And when he came back through,you know, he had gotten rid of
the whole thing.
But he was involved in thishuge like syndicate of all these
people that were doing all thisblack market junk.
I mean, it's the same thingDrugs, black market.
Doesn't matter what you are.
If you're trying to bypassrules and make them to make them
buck, you're going to getcaught.
Speaker 2 (47:45):
You're going to get caught.
I mean, this is an example,like I said, 21 years old going
to do 25 years in a prisonbecause of this stupidity
Unbelievable.
But another thing I wanted totalk about was remember our
friend Gary Brecka that wetalked to.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
Oh yeah, Ultimate human.
Speaker 2 (48:06):
Yeah, he was going over this thing and I thought it
would be interesting just totouch on this.
Have you heard of that, uh,that pulsed electromagnetic
field, um this, this, um mattthat you sleep on?
Speaker 1 (48:18):
yeah, I've heard, I've heard of it and I keep on.
The things are popping up hereand there on different social
media links and, uh, it lookssuper promising.
Like I'm, I'm, I'm relating itto like that, what's that device
that we?
We both have one of them thatwe like when we get sore muscles
and stuff and we kind of like,do the pulsing and stuff.
Speaker 2 (48:40):
Yeah, it's the.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
Anyways, I think it's very.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Electric stimulation.
Speaker 1 (48:47):
Yeah, it's electric stimulation.
They use it everywhere.
Like when it first came out, itwas kind of like came out, it
was kind of like I don't knowabout this, I don't know about
this.
Then.
Then you know, actually likephysical therapy, people were
starting to use it and then thatkind of like legitimized it for
us and we're like, okay, well,now we can buy our own, we'll
just do do it ourselves, right,and those things work, fantastic
(49:07):
.
But this is a kind of likealong the same type of
wavelength to me.
You know, like this, thebenefits of this that they're
talking about, the uh potentialbenefits, is like pain reduction
, uh, the fast recovery frominjuries, improved sleep,
reduced inflammationinflammation for me is like a
(49:28):
big thing from in my, in my body.
Right, I can do something tolike get me past this.
Like the pains and stuff thatinflammation causes in my body,
oh man, yeah, the unit that wewere talking about was the TENS
unit.
Oh, yeah, TENS.
Speaker 2 (49:43):
Yeah, the TENS unit, but this is like a complete TENS
mat, right, right.
Speaker 1 (49:50):
Yeah, but I don't think it's like the effect of
tins, like you're getting thatstimulation, like you're being
electrocuted or anything.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
No right.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
But I mean, I'm interested you.
Speaker 2 (50:01):
I am because you know , as you get older, you know you
feel from arthritis andeverything, and if this, I mean
if this would help like reducejust the feeling of getting up,
yeah it'd be cool.
But I'm kind of like with you.
I want to see, I want to waitand see on this and because
there's a couple of companiesalready got a few, a few of
these out, I want to.
I want to see what the consumerreview is for passengers Excuse
(50:26):
me, for customers that actuallythat use this and their results
from it.
Speaker 1 (50:30):
Yeah, because my my thing is, like you know me, I
invest in my sleep.
Like, and sleep is superimportant to me.
As far, this is just asimportant as me selecting my
health care.
Like I need to have a good bedto sleep on.
I think many people need to likeadjust their attitude about
beds and how much they investinto them because, uh, how you
(50:52):
sleep matters so much about yourhealth and wellness and, uh,
this is something adding to mybed and my sleep and, like, I've
invested into that Tempur-Pedicand I don't know how that's
going to affect, like the ummechanics in the you know, the
effects of my Tempur-Pedicmattress, so that that will be
(51:13):
interesting to me to figure out.
If you know, is that compatible?
You know, is this, does thismatch, stretch and bend and form
to the body like myTempur-Pedic, or is it going to?
Is that going to like take thataway type of thing?
So those are some of theconcerns I got as far as this
thing goes, but if the benefitsare these, what they're saying
it is, then that might be worthit.
Speaker 2 (51:31):
I know a TENS unit man.
I'm a firm believer in the TENSunit.
I use it whenever I have achesand pains.
Hook it up.
It feels a lot better.
I've been using it for years.
I mean we both have.
I mean both of us have beenusing a TENS unit for a long
time.
Speaker 1 (51:46):
I'll tell you right now, like you were the one that
turned me onto the tens unit andI went out and tens units.
Now, man, you can go on Amazon,buy those things for like 20
bucks.
I mean they're, they're soinexpensive, but they're such a
nice thing to have around.
To me it's like having that uhheating pad in my house now
right.
Like who doesn't have a heatingpad in their house?
That is old Right.
Speaker 2 (52:07):
Or play sports, Especially if you've got a 10s
unit man, If you've got like alower back or your shoulder or
something, it's amazing.
You can just hook this thing upand then just turn it on and it
just feels so much better.
Speaker 1 (52:19):
It does yeah, it does all kinds of like electrical
massage and different types ofpulses, and you can do it as
whatever strength you want.
And the cool thing about thislike this PEMF mat, they are
going to be coming down in pricebecause a lot of people, a lot
of companies, are starting toproduce these things.
(52:40):
So it'll be interesting whereit goes and I want to experience
One of us.
I know we're going to get it.
Speaker 2 (52:47):
And then we're going to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (52:48):
And we're going to definitely talk about it All
right man, listen.
Speaker 2 (52:52):
you know something.
I had a great week.

Ass beating.

Yeah, I got it.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
So the whoop whoop man.
I started that with my niecesand I'm like I could go like
whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop anddude, I could say that anywhere
and they're like where's UncleSean they?
Speaker 2 (02:11):

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah, it's like where's Uncle Sean?
Whoop, whoop, they're like thesmile's coming and they come

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Like Uncle Sean's here.
Awesome man.
But anyways, man, what's beengoing on?
All right, man?
Well, as you know, jemma's mygirl.
So, um, I was messing aroundthe other day and I I'd seen
this recipe and and jemma's mylittle dog, as you guys know,
and uh I was I was like I wantto try a different kind of, uh a
treat for her.
So what I did was, um, I I'dseen this little easy family
recipe and and it was for adoggy ice cream, doggy ice cream
(02:48):
.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, doggy ice cream , dude, man dogs like animals,
like ice cream.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
They love ice cream and Gemma man I mean, she loves
her treats but the one thingabout it is in this product when
you make it, because it's madewith a cup of plain Greek yogurt
and we was on the plane and wehave all these extra yogurts
that we throw away from firstclass, and it was the vanilla
yogurt.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
So you made dog-eating ice cream treats for
Gemma from the plain yogurt?
Yeah, is what I'm hearing.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
All right, you thief.
It was in the trash man, hearyou thrown away anyways thrown
away.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, they're throwing that away, but anyway,
what it was is that I?
I took a couple of the um, thevanilla yogurts, uh, that was uh
going in the trash.
Before you sit there and sayanything else, they were in in
the trash.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I'm glad it's going to good use period instead of
the garbage.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, but you take two ripe bananas and then you
take a cup of Greek yogurt andyou take a half cup of peanut
butter and you definitely haveto.
It has to be unsweetened,because you don't want that.
What is that X-tol free?
I mean that one sugar, thatsweetener, that's really bad.
Uh, it's x no, no, I don't knowit's, it's um, it's x, x,
(04:14):
something.
It's um zola zola tall somethinglike that, but anyway it's a.
It's a sweetener you're notsupposed to have for dogs.
But then you add um a cup ofwater, you put it in a blender,
blend it and it comes up like areally runny pancake mix.
And what I realized is this isthat if you take an ice cube
(04:35):
tray and you pour it into an icecube tray and put it in the
freezer, freeze it and thenbreak it up into small pieces,
put it into another container,leave it in the freezer oh my
God, she absolutely freakingloves those damn things.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I was thinking, like you were saying ice cube trays.
I'm like who has?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
those.
Well, I'm going to make somefor you.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Like I haven't seen an ice cube tray in so many
years, like every one of myrefrigerators in my house, I'll
have they make.
Make ice, but it's so, does so,does mine, but you know, I
understand but like ice cubetray.
That's just an interestingthought.
It's popping my head.
I'm like that's perfect.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Here's a funny thing, right?
Okay, I have the ice ice maker,but I I actually make ice cube
tray, ice cubes in in um in thefreezer too.
Why?
Well, because I I've always got.
I mean, I'm going to the gym,I'm putting a bunch of ice in my
bottle and everything, and Iuse a lot of ice.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I mean, here's my thing.
I remember as a kid fillingthose stupid things up.
You're trying to balance thewater.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Those were the metal ones back then remember that?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, they had the metal ones.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
You had to lift it up and break the shit out of those
things.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
You'd shift the thing and it would break the ice.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Those were big-ass pieces of ice.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, but now they've got the plastic
ones and all these differenttypes of stuff you get the ones
made for the big balls.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
They put them in the drinks now.
Oh yeah, they have.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, they have all kinds of crazy stuff, but I mean
, I just haven't seen ice cubetrain so long.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Well, if you look in my freezer, you'll see three of
them, and one of them hadGemma's little treats in there.
But you guys, I'm telling you,if you have pets, a little bit
of Chobani Greek vanilla yogurtis really good, and half, like I
said, a cup of peanut butterand two ripe bananas, blend it
(06:27):
together, add a little water,pour it into your ice cube tray
and I'm telling you, your petswill love those freaking treats.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
The crazy thing is that I think I'm going to see
one day walking in.
I'm going to go over to yourhouse and it's going to be G and
Gemma licking on an ice cube.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I'm going to bring one for you on a popsicle stick,
because he's a peanut butter,and you put peanut butter in
anything he wants.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
some too.
I love peanut butter.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
But you know she don't have crunchy, she has to
have creamy, creamy, creamy.
But anyway, yeah, so got thatfor Gemma.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
But you know what it's like.
Uh, I was thinking about thatthe other day too, about all
this freaking crazy road ragepeople, because we travel back
and forth to indiana, you know,like once, twice a month, it
seems like.
So that's about four and a halfhour drive and there are some
crazy ass people on the road.
I don't know why.
Why are you gonna get allworked up about this stuff?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
the thing was killing me, though, is that it wasn't
even on the road.
Oh, actually on the road, butyou know, when you pull up to a
light, yeah, and somebody'sdoing something, and they're
doing something on their phone,I'm like whatever, I'm behind
them, I'm waiting.
I'm waiting the light's been agreen.
I give them a reminder, youknow what I get the finger and
start cursing at me.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, like you did something wrong, I'm like are
you kidding me?
I had that just the other day.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I just gave you a little beep reminder.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I tried to tap the horn, yeah, but it was just a
tap yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
And I was like just to keep going right.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
And then you get crazy about this dude.
I just can't stand the phonestuff.
This is the whole distractionof the phone.
You know you see a car swerving, a car coming at you, crossing
the yellow line.
They're on their phone.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Like you see it every day they're just nuts, though,
I mean they're crazy, I meanjust for a little, a little beep
.
And then you want to flipsomebody else and plus, here's
the thing too.
Remember this, okay, rememberthis.
When you're starting flippinganybody, you don't know how
crazy-ass that other person issitting next to you that you
start doing that.
Now, that person might be ontheir last thought in their head
(08:40):
and you just took them over theedge.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Yeah, took them over the edge and now they're going
to ready to take you out.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, you think your road rage is bad.
Your ass whooping will be 10worse times worse than that road
rage.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Or that gun comes out .
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Get your ass shot.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Lots of concealed weapons here in this state.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
It's just stupid.
I mean seriously.
I mean get off your phones andif you don't want to get beeped
at, but I mean to flip somebodyoff and do all that.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Nah, it's just ridiculous, it's funny because
you, you take this wholeconversation and put it in New
York.
It's like so they beeped at youand everybody's beeping.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Everybody's, everybody's.
Yeah, it's just.
They actually just want to hearwhat kind of horn you got.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah, like, literally they beep even when you go.
I yeah, yeah, all right, what'sgoing on with you, dude?
You know, um, so we're gearingup right now we're planning on a
trip to um amelia island withmy nieces.
We're gonna go on a littlesummer vacation trip and, uh,
(09:37):
we've been trying to plan allthe logistics for that that trip
and, uh, amelia, um, my littleniece, she's like all pumped up
because we've decided that we'regonna take.
We always take our nieces andnephews on vacations and stuff
and like, normally, like wheneach one of them get of age,
graduate, we take them on a trip.
We let them like pick yourdestination, we'll take you
(10:00):
wherever you want to go.
You know, like.
So it seems like all our niecesand nephews have always picked
hawaii and stuff, but this islong before, like, this niece is
six years old and her name'samelia and her sister's name is
reagan, so reagan.
Of course we got to give her atrip because we're taking a
million to a million island, sowe're going to take reagan to
reagan library and reagan'sbookworm, so she loves she's
(10:22):
like they even thought of it aslike crazy.
So she's all pumped up.
But we're planning this tripright now and dude, it's so
expensive.
It is so expensive to like doall this stuff.
Like I mean, when you starttalking about, like summer trips
and first of all, the lastthing I want to do is do a
summer trip into Florida in thesummer, that is like the worst
(10:44):
thought, like I don't want to gothere In wintertime I'm all
about it, but summer no.
And so Amelia Island is whatwe're planning right now and
yeah, it's just like it's wild,but they are so pumped it's so
crazy.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I mean, they're like Well, I mean, I can understand
her because, amelia, you get togo to Amelia, my islands, cause
I mean, how cool is that She'll?
She'll get to stand there andtake a picture.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah, on, I'm hoping there's going to be like a,
somewhere where we can get tosome like a, you know, a poster,
a bill, you know some, signsomething that says Amelia
Island.
We'll take that picture.
So that's going to happen, youknow cause?
We're gonna do it with Reagan,with the Reagan library and all
that stuff.
So yeah, and then the otherthing, man, that's happened is,
you know, my health is stillshitty and all this stuff, and I
(11:34):
got all this fricking pick thewrong insurance.
It's me this year, I don't know.
Did I talk to you about that?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, yeah, we talked about it because you were
talking to me about it beforeand I had looked into it and I
was like it didn't fit my bill,but then it didn't fit yours
either.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Right, and the after fact.
I picked this insurance wherethe co-payer or the deductible
that has to be met before theyreally start paying for anything
is like six grand.
And so I'm like damn.
So I went in and I like plannedall this stuff and I'm like you
know what?
I got to get one of those HSAcards.
(12:11):
And you know, and one of thethings with this insurance I
picked was the HSA card companyis going to contribute 1500
bucks, and so I said, well, I'lldo 1500 bucks and all this
stuff.
And and so I I've already wentblowing through all that stuff.
And you know, on my way to$6,000 for the year because of
my heart and all this stuff,right, and then my heart, you
know they're talking about I gotto have another ablation.
(12:32):
So I'm thinking, oh, I'm goingto, I'm going to blow, I'm going
to definitely pay this thisyear because if I have this
surgery, that surgery is goingto be on a hundred thousand plus
whatever.
And so I'm sitting herestruggling with all these
thoughts and trying to figureout how I'm going to do this.
And you know, we got moneysaved and all this stuff and I'm
(12:53):
I know we got it.
I'm not worried about us nothaving this stuff.
But, out of the blue, carolcomes home the other day and
she's like hey, I'm flying withMissy and Missy tells me that
Jimmymy, you know, jimmy too.
Yeah.
Another pilot says that hey, um, you know, when we did our
contract and stuff, they gave usthis um credit card and we all
(13:17):
got this credit card and um,it's this hsa card and we and I
think there's like um 26 000 inthis card that the company put
in for him if you can see myface right now, I was beyond
livid man.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I'm like so you had an unknown benefit no, no it was
.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I had an unknown benefit that's been sitting up
in her desk upstairs for thelast two years of this hsa card.
Now I've set aside money in mypaycheck to cover some of these
expenses and stuff.
Right, and she already had thiscard.
Right there, dude.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
That's a damn good day, sean Dude.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I was happy and I was pissed.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yeah, but that's a damn good day.
I was happy and pissed.
I'd have been more happy thanpissed.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I'm like you're telling me all this stuff.
And then she was like sofocused on this car because they
had kind of sold it to themLike they had like their, their,
uh, their, what is a back payand all this stuff.
They couldn't put an all thismoney that they were owed,
whatever they agreed to, intoone lump sum without this tax.
So they were looking for driptax breaks.
So this was one of the vehiclesthey decided to do in their
(14:26):
contract and so I had no ideaabout it.
But if I would have known aboutit, like in the beginning of
the year when we're doinginsurance, I would have been
like okay, but do you get tokeep your?
money do I get to keep my money?
Yeah, um well, I've alreadyspent my money.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I think I know, but you forget.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I've already blown through all that money that I'd
like set aside and all thisstuff and I paid out of of my
pocket and all this stuff.
And why are we paying out ofpocket?
When we got $26,000 sitting upin her desk, she, she literally
thought it was like, oh, we canuse this and I can put this in
the retirement fund, becauseonce you get to the retirement
age, if you still have money inyour HSA, you can like roll it
(15:03):
over into four, one K oh hell.
no, sean's got to get fixed.
Yeah, I'm like honey.
My heart is going bananas rightnow.
I said I'm thinking I'll get toretirement.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
It's a wonder you didn't need to defib on that day
.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Dude man.
I was happy and I was so mad.
At the same time I was like areyou kidding me?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
But you know, truthfully, the one, that that
time of year I hate insurance Idon't care.
You know, going through andtrying to figure out which one
to which one to take, we have abunch of different um insurance
uh that we have to look at andman, it's tough, you gotta
figure, you have to figure itout like when you work for a big
corporation, like we do, andthat they offer a lot of
(15:46):
benefits.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
I mean the one thing about our job is we do work here
for our benefits, because thebenefits is what kind of drives
it I mean we make.
We make good money now, but inthe beginning, when we first got
this job, we weren't in it forthe money, we were just in for
the benefits like the flyingbenefits and all the pension
retirement everything all thatstuff.
That's what it was all about.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Airlines.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
It's still mostly about that.
You know like, benefits is whatwe're really concerned about,
and the insurance plans thatthey come up with and offer to
us.
I mean, I think this year wehad like I feel like there was
like 20 different insuranceplans.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
That's what I'm saying.
It's confusing.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
That's just the health plans, right, the normal,
you know, medical type of thing, and we're not including
wrapping into like dental and I,I and all the other stuff they
offer too.
But it's complicated to like.
Look at it.
You need, you need a month tolike, just like, decipher this
whole thing and I guarantee younext year, my, I guarantee you
next year, my ass will be theredeciphering for the whole month,
(16:48):
for the whole month.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
And I guarantee you won't be on the same program.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I am not going to be on the same program, and I will
not be.
I'll be in a program that'sgoing to be a little bit more
beneficial, because this yearhas been rough man.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Just remember, Carol's got that other 26 grand
just sitting there, since youain't doing nothing with it.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And then here's the other thing with the thing she,
since you ain't doing nothingwith it.
And then here's the other thingwith the thing she takes a
credit card right.
So she takes it and she's likebought new glasses.
She goes do you think I can useit for this?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
I'm like yeah, I'm like honey, you can use it.
I can actually picture her too.
I can picture you looking ather, knowing that you just had
26 grand sitting in the car.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Dude and we were worried about like, oh, we're
going to have to pull this outof our pocket and budget for
this, and blah, blah, blah.
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Sitting on the table.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Sitting there because she ain't know.
And here's my thing, like withall this stuff, and I'm always
on her about this you knowworking at a company and
everything, and it goes foreverybody.
If you work at a company, thebig corporation, you get a
contract, especially if you'rein a union situation where
you've got contracts and rules.
Dude, know the game, know therules, because the more you know
(17:56):
rules, the better your game'sgoing to be.
It's just like golf the betteryou know the rules, the lower
your scores.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
How many times did we talk about that in our job?
That people, they, they havethis contract they don't know
shit about the contract right?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
they do not know anything.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Contract yeah but you ask them what the rate of pay
is.
Yeah, they'll know it they'llknow the pay the only thing that
they know out of that damncontract is the rate of pay and
that's it.
I mean, they'll know they mightknow a little bit, but the
majority of that contract, noidea.
Same thing in health care theyhave no idea.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
The only thing that they know is that they have to
pay them either 25 for a visitor 40 for a specialist yeah,
they know they, just they haveno, no clue that's it and unless
you're in a situation where you, like, are in a health
situation or have somebody inyour family that are in a health
situation, you have to pay thislike you're not going to be
(18:48):
hyper focused on it, it's justlike something that we just do.
But I would tell every all youyoungsters out there, pay
attention to shit, know therules read your contract.
Read all that stuff, you knowwhat?
Speaker 2 (18:59):
they do.
It annoys me too, especially inour line of work, is that when
they don't know the contract,they go to social media and they
throw it out there.
And guess what?
You just had 49 answers thatwere wrong about the contract
because their ass didn't know iteither.
And the one that was right.
You can't decipher it becauseyou have no idea what the hell
(19:19):
the contract says, so you justthrew it out there to this ocean
of people that have no freakingidea, just like you.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah, that's not the place that you go for uh
information about your contract.
Nope, nope, nope, talk to aunion rapper, talk to freaking
somebody in the company orsomebody else or another uh
employee of your company.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Don't, don't google it hey, man, I'm gonna let you
talk about this next one.
This dude was going to disneyand he was uh, he was taking his
family.
Since you're going to, you gotplans for Universal, I'm going
to let you go ahead and startthis one, yeah man.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
So here's the thing the cost to take a family of
four to Disney today isastronomical and this kind of
sparked the whole thing.
Yeah, I'm planning for thisthing, but we also ran into this
article about what it takes,because right now it's like
Disney time, because you knowall the people that are out of
school, the kids are out ofschool and Disney and all the
(20:17):
parks are coming in andeverybody's getting ready to go,
but the family expense and thecost to do that is so
astronomical.
It's so astronomical.
I was like blown away when Iwas doing like the research and
comparison about this stuff,because we're getting ready to
take after Amelia Island, we'regoing to go three days over to
Orlando and then we're going totake them to Universal and
(20:39):
Universal has a new park comingup, opened up actually here May
22nd like in a couple days.
They're going to have a brandnew park called Epic Universe
and I mean things sound awesome.
I mean Super Mario Land isgoing to be in there.
They got a whole new HarryPotter section.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
I would go to Universal with you.
Yo hell yes, me and you atUniversal.
Me and you would have afreaking blast at Universal.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
It is like it's so like Universal.
I like Universal Parks andstuff.
There's only one aspect aboutUniversal Parks that I don't
like is that they are superheavy in the virtual rides and
some of those virtual rides dude.
Oh man, it turned my stomachlike crazy.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Well, I don't want to go, anything that goes round
and round.
But you know something as faras like rides and shit like that
, that I'll go on there with you, it's not, it's not like ground
around, like that.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
If you been to universal, I mean they have
these like uh, so I went throughthe first harry potter one, uh,
when they first opened it up,and uh, you were like flying on
a broom.
So you're sitting in his car,but you feel like you're flying
on this broom of harry potter,like playing quidditch.
You know like you're, you'redoing all this stuff, but this
(21:53):
thing, it goes on and on and on.
Like there's a certain pointwhere you were like, can I get
off the broom?
Can somebody get me off thisbroom?
Damn it, I want, I need to getout of here now.
Okay, and like you will closeyour eyes because the all you're
doing is looking at screen.
The car is like turning andit's moving through this ride,
but you're just looking atscreen.
(22:13):
So it's like a wraparoundscreen, so it's like virtual
reality, right, and so if youget motion sickness and stuff,
dude, you will get motionsickness.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I had to close my eyes.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
It's actually from the middle of an IMAX.
You talked about this before.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
But it's not as fast.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
So like the speed of this too, like the cars are
moving at like two miles perhour.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Okay, so it's not that bad.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
But it's not.
You're flying through the skyand the car keeps twisting from
screen to screen to screen toscreen, and it is, it's.
They have a lot of rides likethat, dude.
They got transformer rides likethat spider-man's rides like
that harry potter's like that,and they, they're all similar
rides.
So you'll see, if you ever wentwe go, dude you'll be like, oh
shit, my stomach's getting kindof queasy because they they're
(23:11):
long rides and they just keepgoing on and on.
But I was like I was ready getmy ass off a broom anyways.
so, anyways, let's let me talkto you about this cost of this
thing.
So, like an average familygoing to uh, the park, if you're
going to Disney to pay for fourpeople, you're going to pay
$160 per person to get into thepark, so that's $640 right there
(23:34):
.
So then you go in there and yougot the park Like you would
think, like Disney owns thiswhole entire like universe.
They make the parking free,come on.
No, they're still getting you$30 for the parking for the day,
and then you got then that'sper vehicle.
So don't go with more than onevehicle, right?
I mean $30 for a vehicle.
And then you're talking aboutfood.
(23:55):
So one thing about Disney isthat they will let you bring in
food.
So that's interesting.
A lot of people don't know thatyou can bring in food, but most
people won't.
They're going to go there andenjoy the park.
They're going to go there,enjoy the park.
They're going to.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
You know the fest.
Yeah, they don't want to schleparound.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Yeah, yeah, I want, I want, I want to go and I'll get
a hot dog or a burger orwhatever.
Get some snacks, and you'redefinitely it's in the middle of
summer in florida.
How much, how many drinks areyou going to be buying?
Exactly right, I mean it isgoing to be going crazy.
So the estimated total forbeverages, for for uh, for just
for food, is 200 to $250 perperson.
That is absolutely crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah, I mean, it's like crazy, it's crazy, Like you
gotta.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
You got all these, like like it's a monster bill,
and so you you can't take thekids without giving any
souvenirs, right.
So you got to throw in thesouvenir budget, which is 200 to
$400 for a family of four toget souvenirs, Because you know
you can get one of them.
Broomsticks Everybody needsthose damn mouse ears.
You get the broomstick, that'suniversal.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Oh yeah, but you're going to universal.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
And so then, yeah, then if you think about oh, I
want to speed up this, I don'twant to stand in lines, you got
them now.
The, the lightning lane, themulti-pass, they bump you up to
15 per person.
You got another 60 added on toI mean and everybody else had
that same idea yeah, soeverybody exactly, and so you
got.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
But you'll be surprised how many people don't
do it like I know, but you'll besurprised how many people do do
it yeah, so anyhow then.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
So you're looking at about eleven hundred dollars
plus for mickey mouse for oneday with your family at the park
.
I mean that's just kind Anyhow.
So you're looking at about$1,100 plus For Mickey Mouse For
one day with your family at thepark.
I mean that's just kind of likean average total going and
that's almost probably a lowestimate of what it's going to
cost you, because you're nottalking about adding in all the
experiences If you take yourdaughter there and she wants to
(25:45):
get dressed up like a princessand all that stuff.
Go have lunch with the princessor something another 500 bucks,
you know like that's you knowit's pictures with all the
animals you know breakfast withall the you know characters and
stuff like that.
Yeah, each one of those thingsadd up, so this is just like a
average general cost, but we'retaking the a million Reagan to
(26:09):
universal.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Let's see what Sean's going to have to pay.
Yeah, so we're going toprobably like cheaper for you.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Yeah, you would think for me that was sarcasm, dude.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah, here it comes.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
So the admission per adult is $139.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Oh, that's cheap, Sean yeah $139 per day.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
And then then, if you got two children, you got the
children's at $134.
They get a $4 discount.
Oh, that's a good discount,it's a deal.
And so, yeah, you got $546going in the door to get into
that new park that opens here ina few days, and so you get that
they're charging $ 32 forparking.
(26:49):
And then on top of that you gotanother, the food costs, which
is pretty similar to the disneyand stuff like that.
So so you got an estimated foodcost of, uh, probably about 140
bucks per person going in there.
And then you got the souvenirssame budget, 200 to 400 for the
budget, right.
So it, it's pretty much almostthe same about 1100 plus dollars
(27:14):
to get in, you know, for anaverage cost to do universal as
well.
So it doesn't matter if you'redoing mickey, it doesn't matter
if you're doing any of thefreaking you're into um, you
know, minions or harry potter,whatever they're gonna get you.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
But the best part is that when you have to go on the
rides, you have to go with thegirls.
I have to go with the girls,yeah, so you're going to be sick
and you're going to be paying alot of money.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Dude, here's the thing.
The only good thing about thegirls is that they get scared.
Really easy.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Don't want to get off the broomstick.
Yeah, they're young right now.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
So they're not going to like they're going to go on.
If they go on something and getsick like that, the next ride
that does is that they're notgoing to do it.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
So you'll be safe.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Yeah, those will be safe.
But I mean, I actually want togo to this epic universe.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Now will Carol go actually on those rides.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Dude Carol's a freaking kid too.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Oh, is she, oh yeah kid too.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Oh yeah, she loves doing that.
Here's our.
Here's the thing.
So we would for two, I mean fora long time.
All of our first generation.
These are great nieces I'mtalking about right now, all the
first nieces and nephews.
Cedar point was.
This was their vacation, summervacation.
They come here for cedar pointand we take them to cedar point
every year like that was a bigthing.
One week here in ohio and wedid cedar point a couple days it
was.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
They loved it and all of them talk about him, like
every one of those if you guyshave never been to cedar point,
make it a point of going,because it is a bomb of a time
yeah man, the roller coastercapital of the world.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I mean, if you're into roller coasters and all
that stuff and I am.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
I love they got a new dragster, right the new.
They got a new dragster.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
They got a new roller coaster I don't know what the
name of it is, but I just saw avideo of it and the coaster goes
up this hill.
When it gets to the top of thehill it flattens out and it gets
on a track and the track isoverhanging, okay, and there's a
end to the track that doesn'thave a barrier or anything, just
into the track and the coasterslides onto that and the whole
(29:12):
damn car tips straight down tillyour 90 degrees vertical,
connects onto the neck, the trapbelow, and drops you.
It dude, it was it is.
And then then you keepfinishing your ride, twisting
and turning and flipping upsidedown.
I was like the first of all, Ican't not remember.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
I'm trying to remember the roller coaster we
were on that it did that.
Actually it went to.
It looked like the abyss, right.
I mean you're just going offand it just stops and you're
looking at nothing but sky.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Yeah, and then it reverses and goes the other way.
No, but this isn't a reverse, Iknow.
But I'm saying Go out to theedge and tip over straight.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
I've seen that.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Actually it looks pretty cool Because Disney has
one.
What is that?
The Matterhorn or somethinglike that.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
It's in Animal Kingdom and the Yeti, something
like that.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Anyways, I'm sure everybody out there is yelling
the name out.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
But it goes up and it stops and then it goes
backwards.
But when it goes backwards itswitches tracks and you go back
through the mountain and allthis stuff.
It's, it's pretty wild, um.
But anyways, man, this wholetrip, this whole cost, they get
you in this time and one day,one day, it's astronomical I am,
I feel, for all the parentsright now, like right now, when
(30:32):
school gets out, from that time,those three months that
school's out, like you are like,it's a big cost, huge cost I
feel sorry for the parents whenyou go into those um, those
souvenir shops and that kid isscreaming that he wants that
saber or he wants the broom atthe Universal or he wants some
Disney thing.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
And you're sitting there thinking Jesus, I just
dropped 500 in that last place,dude, I mean when you walk.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
The last time I was at the park and I was at Disney
and Star Wars was my thing,right, they got the whole Star
Wars park.
They got an area now likelightsabers are one thing they
used to get you.
It was 300 bucks a lightsaberand you build your own life
center.
Right now they got build yourown robot.
So they got the like bb8s andall these different robots that
you could build and customizeand everything.
(31:20):
So you know you're droppinganother three, four hundred
bucks for a robot.
So I mean, and then you'll seefamilies walking out of there.
They got like three, four, eachkid has a robot.
I'm like, you got to be rich togo to these places.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Well, that's why they have defibrillators all over
Disney.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
That's exactly it.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
All right, Well, good luck with that man.
Anyway, hey, listen, did youcheck out that video of that
ship, that ship that ran intothe Brooklyn Bridge, Dude the
tall ship that hit the BrooklynBridge.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
That was crazy.
And you see one mast snap andthen it just keeps on going.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
The next mast snaps.
And guys were falling.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Yeah, there were guys that were actually up on the
freaking mast that when it hit.
I can't even imagine that.
First of all, I don't knowwhose fault this is, but
somebody's going to be in aworld of freaking hurt right now
.
But the tall ships are comingin for that whatever Memorial
Day weekend and they have likethe celebration of whatever that
they bring these tall ships in.
(32:24):
Have you seen like any of thosetall ships ever Like one time
they have it here on Lake Erie?
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Have you seen like any of those tall ships ever?
Like one time they have it hereon lake erie.
Have you seen those?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I wassitting there thinking about
this.
So with this ship, though, itwas 297 feet.
Yeah, okay, if you were, if youwere taking your ship through
there and you get your 297 feetright, you're a captain of that
ship and you're thinking 297feet.
Wouldn't you want to know howtall the bridge is?
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Well, you would think , and that's what I was saying
In the videos and stuff, Ithought they were being towed
and so I think the towingcompany is going to be the one.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
But any ship, though, any ship traveling through any
port.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Any waterway, it doesn't matter what you're in.
Any vehicle, whatever, youdon't go by an estimate.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
You're not going by an estimate.
It looks good.
Yeah, I think you're going toclear it.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
It looks good.
I think it looks good untilit's gone.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
I mean I only have like hundreds of millions of
dollars of products on thiscargo ship.
But hey, yeah, no, it looks.
No, you know exactly how manyinches you have of clearance
Exactly.
So I mean, if you knew yourship the masts were 297 at the
top point of this you'd thinkyou would have known how tall
(33:35):
the bridge was.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
First of all, brooklyn Bridge is way up there
too.
I mean, I think it was likeBrooklyn Bridge is like 230 or
something like that is theclearance for it.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
At the highest point.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
At the highest point.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
They weren't at the highest point.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
The ship was 297.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Yeah, but they weren't even at the highest
point, they were at the lowestpoint.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
They were over on the edge.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
So I mean, when you're looking, it just blew my
mind because you're looking at297.
Oh yeah, we got three feet ofclearance at the highest point.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Well, here's the thing.
How many ships have gonethrough there?
Yeah, and I don't think I'veever heard of anybody hitting
the Brooklyn Bridge Nope, Everin my life.
You know like it's likesomebody fell asleep on the job.
Somebody fell off, Actually itwas really sad, sad for those
families that lost the twopeople that died.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Two of them, two guys , lost their lives because of
this and if you've seen thepictures, it was really crazy
and sad.
You see the pictures of theseguys, I mean, literally hanging
on to these masks becausethey're getting knocked off
these masks.
Dude, that's crazy.
It was nuts man.
I mean I could not believe it.
But it's all over.
It is all over the news.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
I mean anybody can see this yeah, you can Google
this the tall ship hittingBrooklyn Bridge and you'll see
the pictures and the video,because it was almost as like
slow motion as it's happening.
You're like it's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
I think it took out all three of them, though right
all three of the masks, I thinkI think there was two.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
There was two, but I don't know yeah, but anyway,
check it out.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Okay, listen, uh, got it, we're gonna.
We're gonna head around theglobe around the globe, around
the globe man all right, we hada captain, john, and he got
locked out of the cockpit lockedout of the cockpit.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
How does that even happen?
Speaker 2 (35:18):
well, when he okay, they were at the um, uh, the top
of descent and he had to go outand use the bathroom, which you
know they never do yeah, right,and you know, every flight
attendant in the world right nowis laughing yeah, they.
They never use it right at thetop of the descent.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
I think it's that nervous feeling, you know, like
okay, now I got to go land thisthing.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Okay, if he wasn't nervous.
If he was not nervous beforeand he was having a problem with
the bowel movement, he wouldn'thave had it shortly after that.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Right.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Because when he went to knock on the door and call in
the cockpit, nobody answered.
Nobody answered.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Nobody answered.
Nope, nice.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
The first officer had passed out.
He went to sleep, fell asleep,yep Yikes For about 10 minutes.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
That's perfect At the top of Descent.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Did you know how busy they are at the top of Descent?
Do you know how that captain iscurrently?
Speaker 1 (36:08):
shitting his pants.
Yeah, he's like shitting hispants, shit in his pants yeah,
he's like shit and kind of likewhat's going on up there, like
what the heck right?
Yeah, I don't dude that.
There's a whole bunch of thingsthat went wrong in that thing.
We, we there's some otheraspects to that whole situation
that we, we are not going totalk about.
We're not going to talk aboutit but the, uh, the, that should
never happen, I mean, and howyou get locked out, come on,
(36:29):
come on crazy, absolutely crazy.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
But, like I said, I can imagine if he had a bowel
movement problem he wouldn'thave it right then, man he was,
because it was definitely you,definitely you definitely run
back in there.
All right, hey, remember theconcord.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Hell yeah, tell me about it, man concord man,
concord's cool plane, supersonicplane, first supersonic plane
ever freaking be invented.
It was a gas guzzling monster.
Each one of the uh aircraftcosts about um 23 million
dollars to produce.
It was uh in 1970 and uh today.
(37:06):
That would be like 170 milliondollars per plane just to get
that thing in the air.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
But um do you remember how they used to go on
and on about the Concord?
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Dude, you heard nothing about the Concord's
coming in here.
The Concord, like it was anevent to see the Concord, right,
right and that's.
And it was so interesting to me, like as a kid, like like, oh,
the Concord, that's so cool tobe like able to fly on the
Concorde and do this thing, butthe lifespan of that plane was
not too long, nope, no, I meanlike.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Well, I mean you look at the cost.
I mean when you start lookingat the cost of it, it's
unfreaking.
Believable.
I mean because exactly what yousaid you're like oh, the
Concorde's coming in there.
Well, no question whether itwas empty.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Yeah, they were saying like I mean cost-wise,
you're saying yeah, jet fuel, itburned 6,700 gallons of fuel
every hour.
So even though it was fast, itwas burning through fuel like
unbelievable.
So just to do a three I mean dothe math on that for a
three-hour flight.
(38:14):
Like it's lots and lots of fuelbut they, they never carry that
many people.
Well, yeah, there wasn't thatmany people because, uh, it was
a very expensive plane to flyand so that the only airlines
that did it, which was, um, airfrance and british airways, they
were being subsidized.
So, like the only it was it was, it was kind of like just a.
They were doing it to do itRight.
(38:34):
You know it was a, it was acool thing to do and in the
who's who of who's, you know,all the famous people and stuff
were flying on it and it onlyexisted until the damn thing
crashed.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Right, like you were talking about earlier, is that
there was never a nextgeneration Concord.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
Yeah, yeah, they never like.
It was interesting to me whenyou look back in the history in
the Concorde like everygeneration of plane, it doesn't
matter, you can look at itwhatever you want to look at war
planes, commercial planes,private planes they are always
developing and enhancing thatproduct and continue to do that.
But the Concorde was one planethat they made it and never
(39:15):
planned for a predecessor.
Like it was a plane that justwas in that period and then when
the plane like didn't existanymore and they shut it down,
it was like gone and we wereghosts.
Supersonic planes for like 30,40 years now, like there's been
no talk of like a supersonicplane.
The only thing you talk aboutsupersonic planes would be like
(39:37):
fighter jets in the military andthings like that.
You know, like that, like ustraveling.
It went from Concorde to nowwe're talking about space travel
, right, right, that was thewhole thing.
Everybody's like hey, we'regoing to do pastures into space
and everybody's like the ex-Muskand Bezos were racing to figure
(39:58):
out who's going to do intospace and the supersonic kind of
like conversation, kind of likefell to the side.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
But if you think of it back then during that time,
$12,000 for a round trip toLondon.
I mean that plane only had 100seats.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
That's why it was the who's the who's.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
I know that plane only had 100 seats.
That's why it was the who's.
The who's, I know, but still$12,000 back then, that's a lot
of money.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
So you're saying the $12,000 per ticket to get on the
plane, right?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Yeah round trip.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
Okay.
So I went to college in Omaha,nebraska, and the owner of
Godfather's Pizza lived in Omaha, nebraska, and he decided that
he wanted to charter the Concordto come into Omaha and pick up
his family and take them toLondon.
Okay, and he did that.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
He made a shitload of pizza, sean.
If you remember, when we wereyoung, godfather's Pizza was in
every mall in the United States.
It was everywhere, everywhere.
You didn't go to the mallwithout eating.
Godfather's pizza was in everymall in the united states, it
was everywhere, everywhere, Imean, you know you.
You didn't go to the mallwithout eating godfather's pizza
, so that's the reason why hisass flowed that concord, but I
mean he charted the thing.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
So it was just him and his family on that plane
going direction.
He didn't like fill up the restof the seats, it was just him.
So you can imagine what thecost was.
I have no idea, do the mathyourself, but it was a.
It was a buttload of money toget it done.
But concord was a cool plane.
I mean it was just a reallyneat plane to uh fly on and all
that stuff.
(41:22):
I never got a chance to do it.
I have a friend that his brotherhe has.
He's an aviation like nut andever since he was a little kid
he was like and he got thechance to like travel by himself
and doing the non-revving stuff.
He literally would go ondifferent companies when they're
doing like these inauguralflights or he would literally
(41:43):
fly all over the world just todo fly on the plane.
And so he flew on the concordeand before it actually got
retired and all that stuff, souh it it's a wild plane.
But now there is a new companyout there that actually is has
the conversation about uh,supersonic and that company is
called boom, boom, boom, baby.
(42:05):
And uh, they have just actuallyflew the first uh version of
the boom model in their researchand production of the new
aircraft that are going to besupersonic aircraft, and uh
three new three companies in theworld now have bought into this
boom uh company to actually doair travel.
(42:26):
They have a model out that'scalled the overture and it's
going to hold like so theConcorde held 100 people.
This one's going to have 64 to80 passengers.
It's going to be a smallerplane but it's going to still do
Mach 1.7.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
But I can see it, though.
I can see it being moreproductive and more economically
feasible during this time,because there's more
millionaires now yeah, well,here's.
So I mean there's more peoplethat would actually fly that.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
And the technology, though the technology is not
going to burn the fuel like itis.
No, the Concorde reminded me ofthe Blackbird in the military.
You know the Blackbird was thesame type of thing.
When the Blackbird took off, itate so much fuel that there was
three tankers that actuallythree air tankers that would
follow behind it, because Iworked with this plane in the
military, so I know what'swhat's going on here.
(43:19):
And it would refuel in air andthe blackbird would have to fly
the slowest it could possiblyfly and the the tankers would
have to fly the fastest it couldpossibly fly to tank refuel it,
because the plane wouldliterally ooze fuel out on the
ground as it's taken off.
I mean it was, it's wild.
So I mean we don't, in this dayand age of all this you know
(43:43):
green energy and all that stuffwhen there's that would never,
ever fly to invent somethingthat acted or behaved like that.
So these planes are actuallyusing biofuels and different.
You know the engines are goingto be designed so they're going
to be very economical and allthat stuff.
So the cost maybe to build themmight be expensive, but the
cost to fly them is going to bemuch cheaper than what the
(44:05):
Concorde was.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
It'll be interesting to see what Boom does.
But hey, listen, I have to tellyou about this.
We had another, um uh, flightattendant, a drug mule, drug
mule.
It was a former, a formerBritish cabin crew member.
Oh man, stupid and Sri Lanka.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
Dude, this is why would you ever, ever participate
in anything like that?
I mean, I guess if you're inthe dead or whatever, but I mean
just stupid, you're gonna getcaught.
In this day and age, there's somuch technology out there to
catch you, like for you to likebypass that you're gonna be
crazy.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
This girl was only 21 years old 21 when, when she
goes to prison sean, she's to domore time in prison than she's
been alive.
Speaker 1 (44:55):
Oh for sure man, she might not get out.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Here's the crazy part , right.
I mean, she's flown back andforth through the countries.
The flight it was arriving fromBangkok.
Could you imagine if you gotcaught in Bangkok?
Forget about it.
I mean, she got caught on thebest side of that flight.
Could you imagine gettingcaught in Bangkok?
Speaker 1 (45:18):
Dude, there's no way, there's no way.
You're gone forever We've hadthat conversation before.
Yeah, you're gone forever.
Yeah, I mean those prisons andthe freaking medieval treatment
and stuff that they got done.
You know they say you ain'tgetting a cell and a colored TV
like here in the United States.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
Nope, Three square meals, yikes, $1.15 million
worth of cannabis.
That was found in her leggings.
Now, I can't understand howthey missed that in bangkok,
because they're they're usually,they're usually pretty spot on
right there.
But, man, did she get luckythat she got it on the other end
(45:57):
, because bangkok, nope, she'dhave been gone first of all, the
amount that she's toting,that's a lot it's like it's one
thing to like bring.
Speaker 1 (46:06):
Okay, you're bringing one brick.
Yeah, she was said she hadmultiple, multiple bricks, like
bricks of the of this uh and uh,the comparison of how much the
value was I thought was kind offunny.
You know, 460 million, uh, srilanka rupees, which is worth 50,
(46:27):
1 million, 500, whatever itdon't mean shit she's gonna be
in prison.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
She ain't't going to spend nothing.
Let me tell you anybody thinkabout doing this.
This is why you all messed up aknown crew member for us,
because you do stupid shit likethis.
But you know you're dumb,you're going to get caught every
single time.
Speaker 1 (46:44):
Dude, this reminds me of a story that happened back
in the day too.
Was this guy, wasn't?
He wasn't uh doing drugs oranything, he just thought you
know, I'm gonna uh, I'm gonnamake some bucks on my flight,
and uh.
So every time he'd uh fly overto whatever country he was going
to, he would uh bring cellphones with him.
(47:04):
And so he was.
He'd come on the plane and he'dhave like four or five, ten
cell phones with him and he'd goover and he'd sell them
wherever he was flying to.
Like you know, say he was goingto bangkok, he'd sell them over
there because they couldn't gethim at the time right.
So he was just packing, you know, doing all this stuff, not
paying any taxes, not paying,not even claiming him all this
stuff, and he was doing it onthe job.
(47:25):
And when he came back through,you know, he had gotten rid of
the whole thing.
But he was involved in thishuge like syndicate of all these
people that were doing all thisblack market junk.
I mean, it's the same thingDrugs, black market.
Doesn't matter what you are.
If you're trying to bypassrules and make them to make them
buck, you're going to getcaught.
Speaker 2 (47:45):
You're going to get caught.
I mean, this is an example,like I said, 21 years old going
to do 25 years in a prisonbecause of this stupidity
Unbelievable.
But another thing I wanted totalk about was remember our
friend Gary Brecka that wetalked to.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
Oh yeah, Ultimate human.
Speaker 2 (48:06):
Yeah, he was going over this thing and I thought it
would be interesting just totouch on this.
Have you heard of that, uh,that pulsed electromagnetic
field, um this, this, um mattthat you sleep on?
Speaker 1 (48:18):
yeah, I've heard, I've heard of it and I keep on.
The things are popping up hereand there on different social
media links and, uh, it lookssuper promising.
Like I'm, I'm, I'm relating itto like that, what's that device
that we?
We both have one of them thatwe like when we get sore muscles
and stuff and we kind of like,do the pulsing and stuff.
Speaker 2 (48:40):
Yeah, it's the.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
Anyways, I think it's very.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Electric stimulation.
Speaker 1 (48:47):
Yeah, it's electric stimulation.
They use it everywhere.
Like when it first came out, itwas kind of like came out, it
was kind of like I don't knowabout this, I don't know about
this.
Then.
Then you know, actually likephysical therapy, people were
starting to use it and then thatkind of like legitimized it for
us and we're like, okay, well,now we can buy our own, we'll
just do do it ourselves, right,and those things work, fantastic
(49:07):
.
But this is a kind of likealong the same type of
wavelength to me.
You know, like this, thebenefits of this that they're
talking about, the uh potentialbenefits, is like pain reduction
, uh, the fast recovery frominjuries, improved sleep,
reduced inflammationinflammation for me is like a
(49:28):
big thing from in my, in my body.
Right, I can do something tolike get me past this.
Like the pains and stuff thatinflammation causes in my body,
oh man, yeah, the unit that wewere talking about was the TENS
unit.
Oh, yeah, TENS.
Speaker 2 (49:43):
Yeah, the TENS unit, but this is like a complete TENS
mat, right, right.
Speaker 1 (49:50):
Yeah, but I don't think it's like the effect of
tins, like you're getting thatstimulation, like you're being
electrocuted or anything.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
No right.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
But I mean, I'm interested you.
Speaker 2 (50:01):
I am because you know , as you get older, you know you
feel from arthritis andeverything, and if this, I mean
if this would help like reducejust the feeling of getting up,
yeah it'd be cool.
But I'm kind of like with you.
I want to see, I want to waitand see on this and because
there's a couple of companiesalready got a few, a few of
these out, I want to.
I want to see what the consumerreview is for passengers Excuse
(50:26):
me, for customers that actuallythat use this and their results
from it.
Speaker 1 (50:30):
Yeah, because my my thing is, like you know me, I
invest in my sleep.
Like, and sleep is superimportant to me.
As far, this is just asimportant as me selecting my
health care.
Like I need to have a good bedto sleep on.
I think many people need to likeadjust their attitude about
beds and how much they investinto them because, uh, how you
(50:52):
sleep matters so much about yourhealth and wellness and, uh,
this is something adding to mybed and my sleep and, like, I've
invested into that Tempur-Pedicand I don't know how that's
going to affect, like the ummechanics in the you know, the
effects of my Tempur-Pedicmattress, so that that will be
(51:13):
interesting to me to figure out.
If you know, is that compatible?
You know, is this, does thismatch, stretch and bend and form
to the body like myTempur-Pedic, or is it going to?
Is that going to like take thataway type of thing?
So those are some of theconcerns I got as far as this
thing goes, but if the benefitsare these, what they're saying
it is, then that might be worthit.
Speaker 2 (51:31):
I know a TENS unit man.
I'm a firm believer in the TENSunit.
I use it whenever I have achesand pains.
Hook it up.
It feels a lot better.
I've been using it for years.
I mean we both have.
I mean both of us have beenusing a TENS unit for a long
time.
Speaker 1 (51:46):
I'll tell you right now, like you were the one that
turned me onto the tens unit andI went out and tens units.
Now, man, you can go on Amazon,buy those things for like 20
bucks.
I mean they're, they're soinexpensive, but they're such a
nice thing to have around.
To me it's like having that uhheating pad in my house now
right.
Like who doesn't have a heatingpad in their house?
That is old Right.
Speaker 2 (52:07):
Or play sports, Especially if you've got a 10s
unit man, If you've got like alower back or your shoulder or
something, it's amazing.
You can just hook this thing upand then just turn it on and it
just feels so much better.
Speaker 1 (52:19):
It does yeah, it does all kinds of like electrical
massage and different types ofpulses, and you can do it as
whatever strength you want.
And the cool thing about thislike this PEMF mat, they are
going to be coming down in pricebecause a lot of people, a lot
of companies, are starting toproduce these things.
(52:40):
So it'll be interesting whereit goes and I want to experience
One of us.
I know we're going to get it.
Speaker 2 (52:47):
And then we're going to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (52:48):
And we're going to definitely talk about it All
right man, listen.
Speaker 2 (52:52):
you know something.
I had a great week.
Sean, go ahead with the quote.
Speaker 1 (52:54):
All right Now.
So we're going to end with thisquote man, your talent
determines what you can do, yourmotivation determines how much
you're willing to do, and yourattitude determines how well
you'll do it.
That's a quote from Lou Holtz,and that is so true on every
aspect of it.
(53:15):
I mean attitude to me iseverything Like if you approach,
how you approach, life matters.
Speaker 2 (53:22):
Absolutely All right, guys, listen, we had a great
week.
Can't wait to come back nextweek.
You guys have a great week.
Hope everything goes well and,Sean, we will see everybody back
