Ever wondered why some people seem to age backward while others look stressed beyond their years? In this candid conversation, Jesse James and DeeDee explore the fascinating timeline of aging and how our perspectives shift with each decade.
Fresh off a week-long mental health break, the hosts dive into what it means to approach milestone birthdays like 40 and 50. Jesse shares his philosophy of "fit in my 20s, fat in my 30s, looking good in my 40s," sparking a deeper discussion about setting meaningful goals for different life stages. They don't shy away from the reality of unexpected health changes either – as Jesse colorfully puts it, "They said things were going to change. I expected small shifts, but motherfucker gave me an avalanche."
The conversation takes an unexpected turn as they examine workplace dynamics across generations. Drawing from their management experience, they challenge stereotypes about "lazy" young workers, instead finding that many young employees show remarkable dedication when supported properly. This leads to practical insights about mentorship, accessibility as a manager, and creating opportunities that work with school schedules.
Most compelling is their observation that younger generations often appear older while older people work to maintain their inner youth. This paradox reflects economic pressures forcing Gen Z to mature quickly, while millennials and older generations tap into playfulness to stay vibrant. As the hosts suggest, perhaps the secret to aging gracefully isn't fighting the process but embracing a childlike curiosity regardless of your birth year.
What goals have you set for different decades of your life? Join the conversation and share what you're working toward at your current age – just don't tell us you're planning to check out at 30!

Before I start this, I knowthat we weren't around for like
almost a week and no episodes.
(03:15):
We literally took a whole weekoff.
So we'll talk about that herein a little bit, though, but
it's time for Shonanigans,shonanigans, shonanigans,
shonanigans, shonanigans,shonanigans, shonanigans,
shonanigans, shonanigans,shonanigans, shonanigans,
Shonanigans, shonanigans,shonanigans, shonanigans,

(03:38):
Okay, uh, we had talked aboutit earlier in the week, uh,
which was on, uh, wednesday.
Uh, talking about, like, allthe health issues that we were
pretty much having.
Of course, last, uh, this lastpast week, we didn't have
anything.
Uh said, we just took a smallvacation.
(03:59):
We didn't tell anybody.
Yeah, we came back in and wefinally were able to like, do
stuff.
Didi was working on a few, wasworking on a painting, uh that
she got commissioned for.
Um, I was just chilling.
I was just chilling.
I think.
It was like towards this weekwhere my pancreas just kind of
just started kicking in out ofnowhere.
So, yeah, weird feeling, everNot used to that.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Weird.
How about painful and not funat all?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
No, not fun at all whatsoever.
The cards are in theresomewhere I don't know where
they are.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Where's my X-Acto?
I don't know, oh, your X-Acto's?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
there I was like your X-Acto blade really oh.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Bitch.
It's funny, right?
It's like oh, the cards, I'mnot looking for the cards, I'm
looking for the exact, I'mlooking for my blade.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Not psycho at all no, not at all, my goodness, hi
mooshu.
Hello baby.
He is getting so big and he isso heavy and he is fat.
Yeah, fat baby, yeah, fat boy,yeah, fat boy.
So yeah, that's why we haven'tbeen around the whole week so
just in case.
If anybody was wondering why wedidn't have any episodes last
(05:07):
week and of course I have thatwhole mental breakdown, so I
think taking a week off actuallyreally did help.
So not for mental health though, but it was just I kind of
caught up on myself.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
It wasn't much needed it just.
It wasn't like dramatic, adramatic need.
No, because if you think aboutit.
I found it really useful.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
You know what I?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
mean, yeah, not that recording our episodes or
anything is an interruption ofany kind.
You know what I mean, but itwas nice to have the free time
to take care of whatever weneeded to take care of
individually.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah, I think that's the best part.
It's just pretty much havingjust that and it's been a lot of
fun and amazing too as well,but other than that I think that
was pretty much it for thewhole week.
That's just our little caughtup here for us like what we were
(06:00):
doing and whatnot, but yeah,that's just it.
So that's it for our podcast.
Y'all have a good one.
Thank you, love you just it.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So that's it for our podcast.
Y'all have a good one, thankyou.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Love you, bye.
Love you, bye.
Appreciate it, okay, bye.
No, I think this is going to besomething that's going to be
pretty cool in the coming weeks.
So we have a lot of new thingsthat are coming up.
I've been working on a lot ofT-shirts, uh, decorative
t-shirts, at least on turning myt-shirts into pillows, which
(06:28):
has been a lot of fun uh to do.
I'm looking into dabbing into alittle bit more and I'm trying
to get into being a drag queen,if you will.
Uh, trying to see if I can getthat, but I'm just waiting for
the drag mother to hit me up,but I think she has a busy
schedule, or either that or shedoesn't operate her phone
because she's that old.
But whatever, uh, she don'tlisten to my podcast speaking of
(06:54):
old, what, oh?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
you were bringing up stuff last night how old you are
yeah counting the wrinkles onyour forehead no, you had to had
something about me gettingclose to 50 or whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
That's right.
I was like no, not really, solet's talk about that.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Is that coming up for you?
Is that a thing?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
It's not looming, if that's what you mean.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I mean, I'm aware of it, but it's not like, oh my God
.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Because for me it's not like, oh my god, because for
me it's just like.
I know that by time.
I said anybody we've talkedabout this before everyone who
said that they're by time,they're 30 oh, yeah, they would
just pretty much off themselves,that's insane.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I know one person that actually was saying it like
while we're all sitting at thetable and I was like no way, and
he was dead serious and I'mlike you've got to be kidding me
, dude like thankfully,thankfully, uh, he did hit 30
and he didn't off himself, whichI'm very grateful for.
Um, but yeah, I don't.
I guess I don't feel aparticular way about it because
(07:54):
I'm aware, but it's not loomingin a sense that, oh, I'm gonna
be this age and I haven't donethis.
I used to be like that yeah Iused to, but I think, like
having that frame of mind iswhat always kept me in a state
of anxiety and it always kept mein a state of fear, so I felt
like I could never fulfill that,as opposed to me being like you
(08:15):
know what it is what it is andwhatever's gonna happen is gonna
happen, and the age doesn'tmatter because, yeah, that's a
see, for me, I I'm hitting theage where I'm coming up to being
, uh, 40 and I'm looking at allmy accomplishments that I have
done.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I've accomplished a lot, right, I've done the
podcast, I have done this, Ihave a roof, I have my husband,
I have everything.
The only thing I have notaccomplished yet in my entire
life maybe, but it's always beenfluctuating up and down.
It's been my weight.
So, by time I want to say bytime I'm 40, I want to look good
at my forties, right, causethat's something that is a goal
for me, that's something that Iwant to do.
(08:54):
I want to look amazing in myforties.
I look horrible in my 30s, butI want to look good in my 40s.
And people are like is healways fat?
No, he was fat in his 30s, hewas fit in his 20s, he fell in
love.
So you can kind of see where itall shifted yeah fit in my 20s,
fat in my 30s and looking goodin my 40s, you know, because I
(09:16):
mean my 30s were good.
I had amazing food, I enjoyedit were good, I had amazing food
, I enjoyed it.
I I had so many good memoriesfrom a whole years of my 30s
leading up until, by time, I gotlike two more years until I
turned 40, so I mean I got sometime to do.
I just don't want to run theclock either and be like, oh, I
got plenty of time, yeah, youknow.
And then 40, I'm still fat, youknow.
So, uh, we talked about that inour health podcast, though, but
(09:40):
uh, we were just talking about,like, how things have just
pretty much changed.
Yeah, for me, I also do feelthat in my 30s, my health has
changed a lot, for sure.
Yo, they said things were goingto change.
Yo, what the fuck?
I expected small spurts andsmall shifts, but motherfucker
(10:03):
gave me an avalanche.
It gave me a fucking tsunami ofjust issues upon issues.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
You know it's funny People that are my age.
They do deal with a lot ofhealth issues.
I don't consider myselfsomebody that deals with a lot.
I have maybe like one or twothings Granted.
My weight is obviously a thing,but I'm not so stuck on that
anymore.
I'm just like you know what itis, what it is again.
But I wonder yes, geneticsplays a part, yes, life plays a
(10:33):
part, but I wonder if it'sbecause majority of my life I
was always indoors taking careof home nieces and nephews,
errands, stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
You were a household without even trying to be a
housewife.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, and so I wasn't active.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I wasn't in activities.
I mean, I was when I was a kid,but I was like eight or nine,
you know what I mean when I wasin sports and stuff like that.
Other than that, my body was notexposed to outdoors and it was
not overstressed physicallyright so I wonder if maybe
that's what contributed to mebeing my age and still not
having the issues that people myage do.
Because people my age are like,oh, my vision's already going,
(11:10):
I need glasses, and oh, my kneesare already here, my back is
killing me.
I'm just kind of like dang, isit just me or are you guys
falling apart?
I aren't we the same age?
You know what I mean.
But, like I said, I knowgenetics plays a thing.
Life and your lifestyle plays athing.
Maybe I was too sheltered orsomething, I don't know, but I
(11:30):
don't have.
But again, I'm like I say Ithink it's that state of mind
thing and I got I that I gotfrom james, because james
everybody would freak out whenthey're like I'm sorry, he's how
old, and I'm just like, yeah,they're like I'm sorry he's how
old and I'm just like yeah,they're like he's like a big kid
and I'm like yeah.
And he can function like a bigkid.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I think that's where a lot of our youth comes in to
play.
Why we stay so young?
It's because we think, likekids, we tap into our youth in
our inner youth.
Right, we can be very playful,we can look good.
This is why we see the younggenerations that are looking a
lot more older than themillennials.
You're just like whoa yeah,that's crazy.
To me that is crazy but I thinka lot of them are just trying to
(12:11):
grow up so fast, so quickly.
I think a lot of us we wereprobably like that too as well,
because I remember being youngand they're like, oh wow, you
look, I would never get cardedto drink.
So that was kind of like agiven for me, but because that's
how it was, uh, so for me itwas easy.
But I'm starting to kind of seethat.
(12:32):
But as you get older you tendto kind of understand like you
try to get into your youth,trying to be young, trying to be
youthful, trying to.
You know you're buying thingsthat make you feel good because,
you have money and I think alot of the younger generations
are starting to see that likeyeah buying stuff.
That's for.
A lot of them are into thematerialistic things because
this is how the world isevolving around.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Everybody is when they're that age.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, everyone does I remember being that age.
I'm still in that age where Ilike buying materialistic things
for myself if it fit, but itdon't fit, so I ain't doing it.
But I tend to buy me a lot ofcrystals and shit and I buy
crystals and all that stuff andwhen I broke a lot majority of
them, I felt kind of bad becauseit was just like shit, that was
(13:16):
money, you know.
So pretty much with everything,just pretty much is going on
for myself.
It's okay to have those mentalbreakdowns at certain ages and
whatnot, and it's okay to beinto your feelings, depending on
the age for you.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah, at some point it's going to build up?
Yeah, at some point it's goingto, and as far as the younger
generation, I don't necessarilyfeel that they're choosing to
grow up too fast and hence whythey look the way they look.
I think they're forced becausethe way the world is now they're
trying to get ahead of the gamea lot because they see the
struggle that the oldergenerations are going through to
(13:51):
try to maintain or gain a lifeor their home, their family,
their whatever.
And they're like shit that's.
That's going to be hard for me,like I better do it now yeah so
they're doing it and they'rekilling themselves trying to do
that and I'm just like dang,y'all can't even enjoy y'all's
20s.
Y'all are trying and don't getme wrong, they're still trying.
They're out there and they'retrying the club and they're
(14:12):
doing the whole materialisticthing.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
They're drinking whatever good for them, but
they're also juggling that withbeing a grown-ass adult, because
some of them already have, likehomes and houses and everything
even before us.
Millennials even got a chanceto do it.
Only reason is because is thatthey're seeing what we struggled
and what we're telling them todo is like yeah you know,
because we're the aunts and theuncles.
We're just like.
(14:34):
Mom and dad never taught usthis and we're teaching you this
, like you need to make sure youhave so they're doing it, but
they're not listening to yeah,they're not listening to their
parents, because the parents arepretty much the same age as we
are.
But they're listening to thegrandparents and the uncles,
because the uncles in them areteaching them value and the
value of a dollar, like how itis when parents are not paying
(14:56):
attention to their kids.
We're the ones being the, thementors and whatnot, just so
they are seeing that.
Oh shit, you're right, I needto.
And some of them take a lot ofit into consideration.
So they're seeing how the waythe world moves and is working.
Some of them do it in theirfavor and you're doing good and
whatnot, and some of them justlike man, they see the stress,
(15:17):
but people are not hiring thembecause they see the bullshit
for them.
Even millennials are notwanting to get hired at jobs and
be like.
I can see why Because I'veworked for several people
already and I can't tell you howmany times I've.
Every time I hired an adult,like someone who is my age, and
(15:39):
I go, okay, cool, I think you'rea good fit, you're not?
Nope, they would quit the nextday.
When I hired somebody that wasyounger, maybe in their 21s, who
was looking for a part-time job, that just needed something you
know kind of you know chilledworking day.
I would work around theirschool schedule, they would show
up.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
They would show up because they knew yeah, I think
it still depends on the person,though because, I get that, but
as somebody who works withpeople that literally range from
, I want to say, it's 21, 21 toI honestly don't even know how
old that person is, maybe intheir 60s, I could be wrong.
(16:20):
Anyway, I notice that everybodyhustles right, everybody does
what they do and some of theyounger ones you can tell, just
like dang, I didn't know youwere this young dude, because
you're very mature for your ageand you're very responsible when
it comes to this job.
so when I find out, I'm justlike dang good for you, because
you'll be way more advanced by xamount of x age than I was,
(16:44):
because I didn't have thisopportunity.
But then there's other onesthat are older than them and
they're just like half assing it.
It's like I want to be here,like if I didn't have to keep
this job, I wouldn't.
I'm just like then why are youhere, bro?
I'm just like then why are youhere?
But it's crazy because I'm justlike you're older.
(17:04):
You're gonna struggle this kidover here like he's younger than
you right.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
You should probably learn because I had a young.
I had a young girl.
She was 21, I believe I want tosay maybe 2021, and she was
really good at her job.
I trained her, I taught her shewould freak out.
But my, I think that's thething with younger generations
your manager needs to beavailable all the time, right,
(17:26):
and that kind of comes to aterritory for the manager.
I can't tell you how manymanagers I've had and I tried to
get a hold of them whensomething went down at the store
and we needed some advice andthey didn't answer their phone,
period.
I'm just like bro, why are younot answering?
You're a manager, you get paidsalary, like you get paid the
(17:47):
big bucks.
Why you're not answering yourphone?
But I've always had my phone.
That was always my policy.
My phone was always on, evenwhen I was on vacation.
If I didn't answer it, I wouldcall back immediately, right?
or call another store and talkto them and see what they would
say or what they would do so alot of the times you have your
as a manager, you have to beavailable to the young ones,
because they're going to have alot of questions, always going
to have a lot of questions, Imean, even if they're the first
(18:07):
time there, and they can't say,oh well, they're young, they
should know even adults, becauseeven at my age sometimes I'll
be like, uh, I'm gonna need yourhelp over here, and they'll be
like why I've been there forwhat?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
two years already?
And then'm still like I justwant to make sure I'm doing this
right, because I don't know, ifI remember it correctly.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Well, because you're not there.
So it's like you don't have toremember a lot of it If you were
there every time.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
it would be pretty much muscle memory, true but how
many of these transactions haveI done?
You see what I'm juggling toomany things in one shift.
I don't know, but I want tomake sure.
I'm just like, do I?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
remember it right?
Yeah, because I do the samething when I'm at work too.
I've been early for almost ayear already and I'm like, hey,
is this like bro?
You've been here for a longtime.
I was like, look, I didn't askfor your smart assness, I just
asked for a simple question.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
He's like Like I'm trying to do it right so that
you don't have to deal with itat the end of the night when
you're closing.
Yeah, so you have to deal withyour job easier, yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
So it's dealing with pretty much that and I remember
like I'm at times with my if myemployee had like a really bad
day, and they're just like Ican't.
I'm like I'll be there in alittle bit.
Let me go check on everything.
Make sure everything's OK.
I would Just like just here tocheck up on you, make sure
you're okay, cause you soundedvery stressful.
No, I just want to make sureI'm like.
Okay, I was like I'm here butpretend I'm not here.
So what is it that you're thatyou're doing?
(19:27):
So I'll kind of teach thembehind the counter and whatnot.
Okay, did you do this?
Yes, did you do that?
So I had to go make a love thechecklist for them and it was
great, you know, and I thinkdifferent ages uh stems for
different uh uh people, becauseI I will say I genuinely like
(19:53):
working with young full peoplethan I do working with adults.
Uh, that's maybe 18, 19, 20 likeup there, like them Because
they're looking to make moneyand they like making their money
, and I've always will tell themthis, and the main thing is
that you like money, yes.
So why are you calling out?
What's the real reason thatyou're calling out?
(20:15):
Because of anxiety?
We don't got time for that.
If you have anxiety, bring itto work.
I'll help you out, we'll helpyou calm it down or whatnot,
because if you need money andI'm hearing your stories like
how much you need money you needto pay for this.
You're trying to get out ofhome.
I don't got time for you todeal with that shit at home.
You come here.
You know, and I've always askedand that's one of the things I
was always asked my employees doyou have transportation?
(20:36):
Uh, to be able to get home orfrom home to work and everything
, that's one of the main thingsthat we have.
It's just.
You know, basically just that.
And a lot of these kids, a lotof these young adults, have
transportations always will havetransportation.
I always wanted to do a comicbook store so you know younger
(20:58):
generations can come in and kindof just chill and relax at a
comic book store and it's not asstressful.
You just need to clean up aroundthe area so they can kind of
learn, like you know.
Just take them under your wingand just teach them the basic
and generic stuff of what theyneed to know and what right,
right, so it's something thatI've always wanted to do is to
be able to teach young adultsthat, hey, you need this and
(21:21):
work around their schoolschedule.
I only need you maybe two daysout of the week at ten dollars
an hour, and I wouldn't.
I would pay my my people good,you know, young ones if they're
in high school.
I would pay my people good,young ones if they're in high
school.
I would pay them at least $10an hour just to get them by,
because $10 is a lot of moneyfor them, right?
If you think about it, threedays out of the week, working
(21:42):
five-hour shift, that's what,$150?
And then, after taxes, theymake it.
And if they want to work morehours, I would like okay, we'll
dip into that.
I'll give you an additional twohours during the week, right,
that you can come in and youknow, if you're needing it, I'll
give it to you and those twohours you can clean up the store
, sweep mop.
You're not working the register.
You can kind of help me ifyou're looking, if you wanted to
(22:03):
pick up extra hours right um,just to kind of help build the
character that they're wanting,because a lot of times, you know
, these teens are wanting togrow efficiently, sufficiently
enough for themselves so whenthey get to the age of 18 they
can kind of move out of theirparents house and do what they
need to do and whatnot.
So that's something that I kindof have always had liked.
(22:26):
I've always liked working withyoung adults because it was
there were so much easier totrain than older adults.
And I will give an example.
There was one um uh lady.
I love her to death I still doand I won't say her name, though
, but she wasn't.
She was an older lady.
She was working for the loanindustry.
She was having a hard time,trans too as well, and also a
drag queen.
That only thing she knew how todo was makeup.
(22:48):
That was pretty much it.
She didn't know how to do loans, contracts, all of that stuff,
and it was hard and she brokedown.
She broke down crying a fewtimes and I told her I am here
for you, and when I'm here foryou, I will do what I can for
you to get everything set anddone, set in stone for you, and
(23:09):
we'll get you taken care of asmuch as possible and done set in
stone for you, and we'll getyou taken care of as much as
possible and I would teach herand I would had, I would help
her and she broke down.
She's just like I don't know ifI can do this.
I'm like this job is not foreverybody and I get that.
But if you need to take a stepback, that's fine.
Do you need to go home?
If you need to go home, go home.
I was like, if you need to quit, you can quit.
(23:31):
I like I give them thatopportunity to be able to do
that themselves, to make adecision Like right.
If that's what you want to do,but I'm not going to say if you
want to quit, you're not goingto be able to welcome back, and
(23:56):
it's like that as in itself, soshe stayed she stayed for such a
long time that she was sosuccessful.
She actually ran her own store.
Nice, yes, and, and she wasalways like I did it, if it
wasn't for you, blah, blah, blahblah, and she was the only one
that ever gave me.
I need to call her here in alittle bit.
But she's working now atanother restaurant.
But now she knows the work, thelabor of work, that she can get
any job anywhere just becauseshe's trans.
(24:17):
Right, there's no excusebecause people are gonna hire,
can she do the job?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
yeah, yeah, because it's about the job, yeah that's
what I was like.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
She is trans.
Is that an issue?
Can she work?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
yeah, I don't give a fuck, as long as she does her
job and I'm like, oh, okaybecause this is how some jobs
are.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
They don't give a fuck, you know, as she does her
job and I'm like, oh okay,because this is how some jobs
are, they don't give a fuck, youknow.
But you know, there are rulesand regulations that you have to
follow, and that's always beenme too as well.
Like well, I'm trans or I'm gay.
Does that matter, honey, I'mgay, does it fucking matter?
Can you do the job?
Yeah, can you're hired?
Let's go.

Like what?
Yeah, he has a real bad issueswith hemorrhoids he's got a
flare up, he has a flare uptoday.
(26:03):
I was like you think that red atthe bottom, if I'm gonna have
that red at the bottom, that youthink that red at the bottom of
the jeans, just that, that'sfrom what it is don't look at it
.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Don't look at it oh my god, everybody all day is
going to be trying to look atyour butt like does he have
anything red down there for real, dear lord hey enough, come lay
now, my goodness and I knowit's Mushu doing it too, because
(26:34):
he instigates it a lot too I'mjust like you little bitch-
sometimes it's him too.
If Mushu gets interaction andthen he passes him, then he gets
jealous.
That's why I'm just liketechnically, it's to both of
them, it's to both of them sillyboys, daddy, I didn't do it, I
didn't do it.
I swear, dad, it's for you he,but it was him he touched me
(26:57):
first he said he went, butwhatever.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
But anywho, I think it was.
It's just you know a bunch ofthat.
If I could still open up abusiness, I would want to.
You know what I mean and justlet their business run by the
young gents and be like I'm justbasically the ceo and you make
my money, you do what I, what Ineed you to do, we're gravy.
You know what I mean.
Right, then this whole place isself-sufficient and I don't
(27:24):
need to show up.
But when I see money is missingand you know cameras and you
know you're doing something, yes, I'm gonna say something, I
would call and whatnot, butthat's what I said.
I kind of want to retire by thetime I'm 50.
It's because I want to open upmy own business where it's
flourishing and I it's still afucking goal like if I can do
that, hey, I don't have to worryabout it.
I know that the first, thefirst year or two, I'm gonna
(27:48):
have to teach and train peoplewho's gonna be coming in and out
and I'm gonna have to close itand be like, okay, I'm gonna
trust you closing up everything,closing up shop, putting this
up, because this is where it'sall gonna be for you in the long
run.
You know, um, I think later on Ithink it'll be a perfect time
to open up a business.
Right now, and today's a guy tome.
Uh, no, I'm good, but we'll seehow everything else goes.
(28:11):
But I do feel that this is just, whatever it is that's going on
now, it's just it's going topass for the first four years.
So when all that's all over andsaid and done with, we'll see
what happens.
But I digress, you know, uh,but yeah, that's kind of like
for me of my age, I really forme for my forties, and my goal
at least to be able to dosomething is I want to at least
(28:32):
look good in my 40s.
I want to look good.
I don't want to look likeherbert the pervert from fucking
family guy.
Where's the paper boy?
(28:56):
That's fucking horrible.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
But I what you had an idea we should all get together
and the whole gaggle should gettogether and be a family guy
yeah, we should, we, we reallyshould.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
It would be fucking hilarious.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
John could be Herbert , because he's the old man.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
But he's not a pervert.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
No, but whoever's going to be Herbert is going to
end up being the Herbert'spervert, no matter what.
Would Ryan dress as Lois?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
I would dress as Peter.
You would be Meg.
Shut up Meg.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Yes, yes, who's going to be Chris?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Tweak.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
He would need one hell of a fat suit.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
He doesn't need one, he already acts like it, so
whatever so.
Stewie, stewie suit, he doesn'tneed one, he just he already
acts like it, so whatever so.
But stewie would be the smalldogs, tigger could be brian,
mumu could be stewie, so I'mokay with that that's hilarious

Just saying you know what timeit is, Didi.
Yes actually it is finally Alsotoo.
Before I start this, I knowthat we weren't around for like
almost a week and no episodes.
(03:15):
We literally took a whole weekoff.
So we'll talk about that herein a little bit, though, but
it's time for Shonanigans,shonanigans, shonanigans,
shonanigans, shonanigans,shonanigans, shonanigans,
shonanigans, shonanigans,shonanigans, shonanigans,
Shonanigans, shonanigans,shonanigans, shonanigans,
shonanigans, shonanigans,shonanigans, shonan.
(03:38):
Okay, uh, we had talked aboutit earlier in the week, uh,
which was on, uh, wednesday.
Uh, talking about, like, allthe health issues that we were
pretty much having.
Of course, last, uh, this lastpast week, we didn't have
anything.
Uh said, we just took a smallvacation.
(03:59):
We didn't tell anybody.
Yeah, we came back in and wefinally were able to like, do
stuff.
Didi was working on a few, wasworking on a painting, uh that
she got commissioned for.
Um, I was just chilling.
I was just chilling.
I think.
It was like towards this weekwhere my pancreas just kind of
just started kicking in out ofnowhere.
So, yeah, weird feeling, everNot used to that.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Weird.
How about painful and not funat all?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
No, not fun at all whatsoever.
The cards are in theresomewhere I don't know where
they are.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Where's my X-Acto?
I don't know, oh, your X-Acto's?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
there I was like your X-Acto blade really oh.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Bitch.
It's funny, right?
It's like oh, the cards, I'mnot looking for the cards, I'm
looking for the exact, I'mlooking for my blade.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Not psycho at all no, not at all, my goodness, hi
mooshu.
Hello baby.
He is getting so big and he isso heavy and he is fat.
Yeah, fat baby, yeah, fat boy,yeah, fat boy.
So yeah, that's why we haven'tbeen around the whole week so
just in case.
If anybody was wondering why wedidn't have any episodes last
(05:07):
week and of course I have thatwhole mental breakdown, so I
think taking a week off actuallyreally did help.
So not for mental health though, but it was just I kind of
caught up on myself.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
It wasn't much needed it just.
It wasn't like dramatic, adramatic need.
No, because if you think aboutit.
I found it really useful.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
You know what I?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
mean, yeah, not that recording our episodes or
anything is an interruption ofany kind.
You know what I mean, but itwas nice to have the free time
to take care of whatever weneeded to take care of
individually.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah, I think that's the best part.
It's just pretty much havingjust that and it's been a lot of
fun and amazing too as well,but other than that I think that
was pretty much it for thewhole week.
That's just our little caughtup here for us like what we were
(06:00):
doing and whatnot, but yeah,that's just it.
So that's it for our podcast.
Y'all have a good one.
Thank you, love you just it.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So that's it for our podcast.
Y'all have a good one, thankyou.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Love you, bye.
Love you, bye.
Appreciate it, okay, bye.
No, I think this is going to besomething that's going to be
pretty cool in the coming weeks.
So we have a lot of new thingsthat are coming up.
I've been working on a lot ofT-shirts, uh, decorative
t-shirts, at least on turning myt-shirts into pillows, which
(06:28):
has been a lot of fun uh to do.
I'm looking into dabbing into alittle bit more and I'm trying
to get into being a drag queen,if you will.
Uh, trying to see if I can getthat, but I'm just waiting for
the drag mother to hit me up,but I think she has a busy
schedule, or either that or shedoesn't operate her phone
because she's that old.
But whatever, uh, she don'tlisten to my podcast speaking of
(06:54):
old, what, oh?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
you were bringing up stuff last night how old you are
yeah counting the wrinkles onyour forehead no, you had to had
something about me gettingclose to 50 or whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
That's right.
I was like no, not really, solet's talk about that.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Is that coming up for you?
Is that a thing?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
It's not looming, if that's what you mean.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I mean, I'm aware of it, but it's not like, oh my God
.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Because for me it's not like, oh my god, because for
me it's just like.
I know that by time.
I said anybody we've talkedabout this before everyone who
said that they're by time,they're 30 oh, yeah, they would
just pretty much off themselves,that's insane.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I know one person that actually was saying it like
while we're all sitting at thetable and I was like no way, and
he was dead serious and I'mlike you've got to be kidding me
, dude like thankfully,thankfully, uh, he did hit 30
and he didn't off himself, whichI'm very grateful for.
Um, but yeah, I don't.
I guess I don't feel aparticular way about it because
(07:54):
I'm aware, but it's not loomingin a sense that, oh, I'm gonna
be this age and I haven't donethis.
I used to be like that yeah Iused to, but I think, like
having that frame of mind iswhat always kept me in a state
of anxiety and it always kept mein a state of fear, so I felt
like I could never fulfill that,as opposed to me being like you
(08:15):
know what it is what it is andwhatever's gonna happen is gonna
happen, and the age doesn'tmatter because, yeah, that's a
see, for me, I I'm hitting theage where I'm coming up to being
, uh, 40 and I'm looking at allmy accomplishments that I have
done.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I've accomplished a lot, right, I've done the
podcast, I have done this, Ihave a roof, I have my husband,
I have everything.
The only thing I have notaccomplished yet in my entire
life maybe, but it's always beenfluctuating up and down.
It's been my weight.
So, by time I want to say bytime I'm 40, I want to look good
at my forties, right, causethat's something that is a goal
for me, that's something that Iwant to do.
(08:54):
I want to look amazing in myforties.
I look horrible in my 30s, butI want to look good in my 40s.
And people are like is healways fat?
No, he was fat in his 30s, hewas fit in his 20s, he fell in
love.
So you can kind of see where itall shifted yeah fit in my 20s,
fat in my 30s and looking goodin my 40s, you know, because I
(09:16):
mean my 30s were good.
I had amazing food, I enjoyedit were good, I had amazing food
, I enjoyed it.
I I had so many good memoriesfrom a whole years of my 30s
leading up until, by time, I gotlike two more years until I
turned 40, so I mean I got sometime to do.
I just don't want to run theclock either and be like, oh, I
got plenty of time, yeah, youknow.
And then 40, I'm still fat, youknow.
So, uh, we talked about that inour health podcast, though, but
(09:40):
uh, we were just talking about,like, how things have just
pretty much changed.
Yeah, for me, I also do feelthat in my 30s, my health has
changed a lot, for sure.
Yo, they said things were goingto change.
Yo, what the fuck?
I expected small spurts andsmall shifts, but motherfucker
(10:03):
gave me an avalanche.
It gave me a fucking tsunami ofjust issues upon issues.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
You know it's funny People that are my age.
They do deal with a lot ofhealth issues.
I don't consider myselfsomebody that deals with a lot.
I have maybe like one or twothings Granted.
My weight is obviously a thing,but I'm not so stuck on that
anymore.
I'm just like you know what itis, what it is again.
But I wonder yes, geneticsplays a part, yes, life plays a
(10:33):
part, but I wonder if it'sbecause majority of my life I
was always indoors taking careof home nieces and nephews,
errands, stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
You were a household without even trying to be a
housewife.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, and so I wasn't active.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I wasn't in activities.
I mean, I was when I was a kid,but I was like eight or nine,
you know what I mean when I wasin sports and stuff like that.
Other than that, my body was notexposed to outdoors and it was
not overstressed physicallyright so I wonder if maybe
that's what contributed to mebeing my age and still not
having the issues that people myage do.
Because people my age are like,oh, my vision's already going,
(11:10):
I need glasses, and oh, my kneesare already here, my back is
killing me.
I'm just kind of like dang, isit just me or are you guys
falling apart?
I aren't we the same age?
You know what I mean.
But, like I said, I knowgenetics plays a thing.
Life and your lifestyle plays athing.
Maybe I was too sheltered orsomething, I don't know, but I
(11:30):
don't have.
But again, I'm like I say Ithink it's that state of mind
thing and I got I that I gotfrom james, because james
everybody would freak out whenthey're like I'm sorry, he's how
old, and I'm just like, yeah,they're like I'm sorry he's how
old and I'm just like yeah,they're like he's like a big kid
and I'm like yeah.
And he can function like a bigkid.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I think that's where a lot of our youth comes in to
play.
Why we stay so young?
It's because we think, likekids, we tap into our youth in
our inner youth.
Right, we can be very playful,we can look good.
This is why we see the younggenerations that are looking a
lot more older than themillennials.
You're just like whoa yeah,that's crazy.
To me that is crazy but I thinka lot of them are just trying to
(12:11):
grow up so fast, so quickly.
I think a lot of us we wereprobably like that too as well,
because I remember being youngand they're like, oh wow, you
look, I would never get cardedto drink.
So that was kind of like agiven for me, but because that's
how it was, uh, so for me itwas easy.
But I'm starting to kind of seethat.
(12:32):
But as you get older you tendto kind of understand like you
try to get into your youth,trying to be young, trying to be
youthful, trying to.
You know you're buying thingsthat make you feel good because,
you have money and I think alot of the younger generations
are starting to see that likeyeah buying stuff.
That's for.
A lot of them are into thematerialistic things because
this is how the world isevolving around.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Everybody is when they're that age.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, everyone does I remember being that age.
I'm still in that age where Ilike buying materialistic things
for myself if it fit, but itdon't fit, so I ain't doing it.
But I tend to buy me a lot ofcrystals and shit and I buy
crystals and all that stuff andwhen I broke a lot majority of
them, I felt kind of bad becauseit was just like shit, that was
(13:16):
money, you know.
So pretty much with everything,just pretty much is going on
for myself.
It's okay to have those mentalbreakdowns at certain ages and
whatnot, and it's okay to beinto your feelings, depending on
the age for you.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah, at some point it's going to build up?
Yeah, at some point it's goingto, and as far as the younger
generation, I don't necessarilyfeel that they're choosing to
grow up too fast and hence whythey look the way they look.
I think they're forced becausethe way the world is now they're
trying to get ahead of the gamea lot because they see the
struggle that the oldergenerations are going through to
(13:51):
try to maintain or gain a lifeor their home, their family,
their whatever.
And they're like shit that's.
That's going to be hard for me,like I better do it now yeah so
they're doing it and they'rekilling themselves trying to do
that and I'm just like dang,y'all can't even enjoy y'all's
20s.
Y'all are trying and don't getme wrong, they're still trying.
They're out there and they'retrying the club and they're
(14:12):
doing the whole materialisticthing.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
They're drinking whatever good for them, but
they're also juggling that withbeing a grown-ass adult, because
some of them already have, likehomes and houses and everything
even before us.
Millennials even got a chanceto do it.
Only reason is because is thatthey're seeing what we struggled
and what we're telling them todo is like yeah you know,
because we're the aunts and theuncles.
We're just like.
(14:34):
Mom and dad never taught usthis and we're teaching you this
, like you need to make sure youhave so they're doing it, but
they're not listening to yeah,they're not listening to their
parents, because the parents arepretty much the same age as we
are.
But they're listening to thegrandparents and the uncles,
because the uncles in them areteaching them value and the
value of a dollar, like how itis when parents are not paying
(14:56):
attention to their kids.
We're the ones being the, thementors and whatnot, just so
they are seeing that.
Oh shit, you're right, I needto.
And some of them take a lot ofit into consideration.
So they're seeing how the waythe world moves and is working.
Some of them do it in theirfavor and you're doing good and
whatnot, and some of them justlike man, they see the stress,
(15:17):
but people are not hiring thembecause they see the bullshit
for them.
Even millennials are notwanting to get hired at jobs and
be like.
I can see why Because I'veworked for several people
already and I can't tell you howmany times I've.
Every time I hired an adult,like someone who is my age, and
(15:39):
I go, okay, cool, I think you'rea good fit, you're not?
Nope, they would quit the nextday.
When I hired somebody that wasyounger, maybe in their 21s, who
was looking for a part-time job, that just needed something you
know kind of you know chilledworking day.
I would work around theirschool schedule, they would show
up.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
They would show up because they knew yeah, I think
it still depends on the person,though because, I get that, but
as somebody who works withpeople that literally range from
, I want to say, it's 21, 21 toI honestly don't even know how
old that person is, maybe intheir 60s, I could be wrong.
(16:20):
Anyway, I notice that everybodyhustles right, everybody does
what they do and some of theyounger ones you can tell, just
like dang, I didn't know youwere this young dude, because
you're very mature for your ageand you're very responsible when
it comes to this job.
so when I find out, I'm justlike dang good for you, because
you'll be way more advanced by xamount of x age than I was,
(16:44):
because I didn't have thisopportunity.
But then there's other onesthat are older than them and
they're just like half assing it.
It's like I want to be here,like if I didn't have to keep
this job, I wouldn't.
I'm just like then why are youhere, bro?
I'm just like then why are youhere?
But it's crazy because I'm justlike you're older.
(17:04):
You're gonna struggle this kidover here like he's younger than
you right.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
You should probably learn because I had a young.
I had a young girl.
She was 21, I believe I want tosay maybe 2021, and she was
really good at her job.
I trained her, I taught her shewould freak out.
But my, I think that's thething with younger generations
your manager needs to beavailable all the time, right,
(17:26):
and that kind of comes to aterritory for the manager.
I can't tell you how manymanagers I've had and I tried to
get a hold of them whensomething went down at the store
and we needed some advice andthey didn't answer their phone,
period.
I'm just like bro, why are younot answering?
You're a manager, you get paidsalary, like you get paid the
(17:47):
big bucks.
Why you're not answering yourphone?
But I've always had my phone.
That was always my policy.
My phone was always on, evenwhen I was on vacation.
If I didn't answer it, I wouldcall back immediately, right?
or call another store and talkto them and see what they would
say or what they would do so alot of the times you have your
as a manager, you have to beavailable to the young ones,
because they're going to have alot of questions, always going
to have a lot of questions, Imean, even if they're the first
(18:07):
time there, and they can't say,oh well, they're young, they
should know even adults, becauseeven at my age sometimes I'll
be like, uh, I'm gonna need yourhelp over here, and they'll be
like why I've been there forwhat?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
two years already?
And then'm still like I justwant to make sure I'm doing this
right, because I don't know, ifI remember it correctly.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Well, because you're not there.
So it's like you don't have toremember a lot of it If you were
there every time.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
it would be pretty much muscle memory, true but how
many of these transactions haveI done?
You see what I'm juggling toomany things in one shift.
I don't know, but I want tomake sure.
I'm just like, do I?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
remember it right?
Yeah, because I do the samething when I'm at work too.
I've been early for almost ayear already and I'm like, hey,
is this like bro?
You've been here for a longtime.
I was like, look, I didn't askfor your smart assness, I just
asked for a simple question.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
He's like Like I'm trying to do it right so that
you don't have to deal with itat the end of the night when
you're closing.
Yeah, so you have to deal withyour job easier, yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
So it's dealing with pretty much that and I remember
like I'm at times with my if myemployee had like a really bad
day, and they're just like Ican't.
I'm like I'll be there in alittle bit.
Let me go check on everything.
Make sure everything's OK.
I would Just like just here tocheck up on you, make sure
you're okay, cause you soundedvery stressful.
No, I just want to make sureI'm like.
Okay, I was like I'm here butpretend I'm not here.
So what is it that you're thatyou're doing?
(19:27):
So I'll kind of teach thembehind the counter and whatnot.
Okay, did you do this?
Yes, did you do that?
So I had to go make a love thechecklist for them and it was
great, you know, and I thinkdifferent ages uh stems for
different uh uh people, becauseI I will say I genuinely like
(19:53):
working with young full peoplethan I do working with adults.
Uh, that's maybe 18, 19, 20 likeup there, like them Because
they're looking to make moneyand they like making their money
, and I've always will tell themthis, and the main thing is
that you like money, yes.
So why are you calling out?
What's the real reason thatyou're calling out?
(20:15):
Because of anxiety?
We don't got time for that.
If you have anxiety, bring itto work.
I'll help you out, we'll helpyou calm it down or whatnot,
because if you need money andI'm hearing your stories like
how much you need money you needto pay for this.
You're trying to get out ofhome.
I don't got time for you todeal with that shit at home.
You come here.
You know, and I've always askedand that's one of the things I
was always asked my employees doyou have transportation?
(20:36):
Uh, to be able to get home orfrom home to work and everything
, that's one of the main thingsthat we have.
It's just.
You know, basically just that.
And a lot of these kids, a lotof these young adults, have
transportations always will havetransportation.
I always wanted to do a comicbook store so you know younger
(20:58):
generations can come in and kindof just chill and relax at a
comic book store and it's not asstressful.
You just need to clean up aroundthe area so they can kind of
learn, like you know.
Just take them under your wingand just teach them the basic
and generic stuff of what theyneed to know and what right,
right, so it's something thatI've always wanted to do is to
be able to teach young adultsthat, hey, you need this and
(21:21):
work around their schoolschedule.
I only need you maybe two daysout of the week at ten dollars
an hour, and I wouldn't.
I would pay my my people good,you know, young ones if they're
in high school.
I would pay my people good,young ones if they're in high
school.
I would pay them at least $10an hour just to get them by,
because $10 is a lot of moneyfor them, right?
If you think about it, threedays out of the week, working
(21:42):
five-hour shift, that's what,$150?
And then, after taxes, theymake it.
And if they want to work morehours, I would like okay, we'll
dip into that.
I'll give you an additional twohours during the week, right,
that you can come in and youknow, if you're needing it, I'll
give it to you and those twohours you can clean up the store
, sweep mop.
You're not working the register.
You can kind of help me ifyou're looking, if you wanted to
(22:03):
pick up extra hours right um,just to kind of help build the
character that they're wanting,because a lot of times, you know
, these teens are wanting togrow efficiently, sufficiently
enough for themselves so whenthey get to the age of 18 they
can kind of move out of theirparents house and do what they
need to do and whatnot.
So that's something that I kindof have always had liked.
(22:26):
I've always liked working withyoung adults because it was
there were so much easier totrain than older adults.
And I will give an example.
There was one um uh lady.
I love her to death I still doand I won't say her name, though
, but she wasn't.
She was an older lady.
She was working for the loanindustry.
She was having a hard time,trans too as well, and also a
drag queen.
That only thing she knew how todo was makeup.
(22:48):
That was pretty much it.
She didn't know how to do loans, contracts, all of that stuff,
and it was hard and she brokedown.
She broke down crying a fewtimes and I told her I am here
for you, and when I'm here foryou, I will do what I can for
you to get everything set anddone, set in stone for you, and
(23:09):
we'll get you taken care of asmuch as possible and done set in
stone for you, and we'll getyou taken care of as much as
possible and I would teach herand I would had, I would help
her and she broke down.
She's just like I don't know ifI can do this.
I'm like this job is not foreverybody and I get that.
But if you need to take a stepback, that's fine.
Do you need to go home?
If you need to go home, go home.
I was like, if you need to quit, you can quit.
(23:31):
I like I give them thatopportunity to be able to do
that themselves, to make adecision Like right.
If that's what you want to do,but I'm not going to say if you
want to quit, you're not goingto be able to welcome back, and
(23:56):
it's like that as in itself, soshe stayed she stayed for such a
long time that she was sosuccessful.
She actually ran her own store.
Nice, yes, and, and she wasalways like I did it, if it
wasn't for you, blah, blah, blahblah, and she was the only one
that ever gave me.
I need to call her here in alittle bit.
But she's working now atanother restaurant.
But now she knows the work, thelabor of work, that she can get
any job anywhere just becauseshe's trans.
(24:17):
Right, there's no excusebecause people are gonna hire,
can she do the job?
Speaker 2 (24:20):
yeah, yeah, because it's about the job, yeah that's
what I was like.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
She is trans.
Is that an issue?
Can she work?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
yeah, I don't give a fuck, as long as she does her
job and I'm like, oh, okaybecause this is how some jobs
are.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
They don't give a fuck, you know, as she does her
job and I'm like, oh okay,because this is how some jobs
are, they don't give a fuck, youknow.
But you know, there are rulesand regulations that you have to
follow, and that's always beenme too as well.
Like well, I'm trans or I'm gay.
Does that matter, honey, I'mgay, does it fucking matter?
Can you do the job?
Yeah, can you're hired?
Let's go.
I need you to fill here, here,here, here here, and I need you

Like what?
Yeah, he has a real bad issueswith hemorrhoids he's got a
flare up, he has a flare uptoday.
(26:03):
I was like you think that red atthe bottom, if I'm gonna have
that red at the bottom, that youthink that red at the bottom of
the jeans, just that, that'sfrom what it is don't look at it
.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Don't look at it oh my god, everybody all day is
going to be trying to look atyour butt like does he have
anything red down there for real, dear lord hey enough, come lay
now, my goodness and I knowit's Mushu doing it too, because
(26:34):
he instigates it a lot too I'mjust like you little bitch-
sometimes it's him too.
If Mushu gets interaction andthen he passes him, then he gets
jealous.
That's why I'm just liketechnically, it's to both of
them, it's to both of them sillyboys, daddy, I didn't do it, I
didn't do it.
I swear, dad, it's for you he,but it was him he touched me
(26:57):
first he said he went, butwhatever.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
But anywho, I think it was.
It's just you know a bunch ofthat.
If I could still open up abusiness, I would want to.
You know what I mean and justlet their business run by the
young gents and be like I'm justbasically the ceo and you make
my money, you do what I, what Ineed you to do, we're gravy.
You know what I mean.
Right, then this whole place isself-sufficient and I don't
(27:24):
need to show up.
But when I see money is missingand you know cameras and you
know you're doing something, yes, I'm gonna say something, I
would call and whatnot, butthat's what I said.
I kind of want to retire by thetime I'm 50.
It's because I want to open upmy own business where it's
flourishing and I it's still afucking goal like if I can do
that, hey, I don't have to worryabout it.
I know that the first, thefirst year or two, I'm gonna
(27:48):
have to teach and train peoplewho's gonna be coming in and out
and I'm gonna have to close itand be like, okay, I'm gonna
trust you closing up everything,closing up shop, putting this
up, because this is where it'sall gonna be for you in the long
run.
You know, um, I think later on Ithink it'll be a perfect time
to open up a business.
Right now, and today's a guy tome.
Uh, no, I'm good, but we'll seehow everything else goes.
(28:11):
But I do feel that this is just, whatever it is that's going on
now, it's just it's going topass for the first four years.
So when all that's all over andsaid and done with, we'll see
what happens.
But I digress, you know, uh,but yeah, that's kind of like
for me of my age, I really forme for my forties, and my goal
at least to be able to dosomething is I want to at least
(28:32):
look good in my 40s.
I want to look good.
I don't want to look likeherbert the pervert from fucking
family guy.
Where's the paper boy?
(28:56):
That's fucking horrible.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
But I what you had an idea we should all get together
and the whole gaggle should gettogether and be a family guy
yeah, we should, we, we reallyshould.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
It would be fucking hilarious.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
John could be Herbert , because he's the old man.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
But he's not a pervert.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
No, but whoever's going to be Herbert is going to
end up being the Herbert'spervert, no matter what.
Would Ryan dress as Lois?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
I would dress as Peter.
You would be Meg.
Shut up Meg.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Yes, yes, who's going to be Chris?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Tweak.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
He would need one hell of a fat suit.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
He doesn't need one, he already acts like it, so
whatever so.
Stewie, stewie suit, he doesn'tneed one, he just he already
acts like it, so whatever so.
But stewie would be the smalldogs, tigger could be brian,
mumu could be stewie, so I'mokay with that that's hilarious
