We're not in the UP so we don'tget dumped on like crazy, but

Speaker 1 (08:42):
I drive 45 minutes to
work every day.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I drive close to an
hour so and I have to go back
roads.
Yep, yeah, it sucks, dude I go.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I go back roads
because, well, I don't know, you
run into the people that thatdrive like 10 with their
flashers on.
Yeah, like get the hell out ofthe way.
Okay, everybody out therethat's listening.
If you're one of those people,just get off the road for a
minute, just stop.
If you have 40 cars behind you,just move over for a minute and
just let some people go.
(09:09):

You're scared or whatever.
You know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Stop being a dick.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah, Dude.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I always get stuck
behind buses and I get stuck
behind like semis heading toAllegan?
Why the fuck is a semi headingto Allegan?
It's like what the hell are youdoing?
There's four businesses here,you know.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Anyway, they're the
meth delivery trucks.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Or they're going to
pick it up.
I don't know Whichever.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
We're self-taught
pharmacists.
We're delivering in order.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
All right.
So my first story.
This is back when I was, uh, Ithink I was around 20, okay, and
, um, I had an 84 grand prix.
It was a big boat, right, ifyou remember those dude.
Those were sweet and uh, so Ihad my starter went out and it's
the middle of winter, okay, andit's cold as shit.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Did it go out on the
road?
Speaker 1 (10:05):
No, I was actually.
I was at my apartment where Iwas staying.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Went out in the
parking lot, I would go out to
start it up and it doesn't start, right, fuck.
So I go grab a new starter,because I work on my own shit,
because you know, know, I'm justthat guy and I've I raised the
hood and those hoods.
Back then they had springs oneach side, right, they would
hold the hood up for you.
(10:32):
You didn't have to have the,the stupid rod in there that
holds it up, which I understandwhy they do that now.
Okay, so was it the latch?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
but then it went to a
spring.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
So you pop the hood
and you lift the latch, Yep, and
then there's, it springs up andthere's two springs on each
side of the hood that hold it up.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Weird.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And it was a giant
hood, right, yeah?
So anyway, I pop the hood and Iget down there.
I'm taking the starter off andI'm working on it.
I'm laying in the snow rightUnder starter off and I'm
working on it.
I'm laying in the snow rightunder the car.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Under the car, I've
got it jacked up and hoods up
jack hoods up.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I got to jack saying
under it and everything you know
so, trying to be safe, and Ihave to shovel snow out of the
way so I can get down in there,because we just got like six or
eight inches of snow and shit isnot going well.
Like I take the starter, I'mtrying to put the new one in,
right?
And there's shims and you gotto get in there and get the
(11:30):
proper fit and all that bullshit.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Pontiac probably
wasn't known for their designs,
right yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah.
Which is why they're not here,right.
So, for whatever reason, Ipause Right.
Sometimes you got to walk away,uh-huh.
So for whatever reason, I pauseright.
Sometimes you got to walk away.
So I'm over the hood, I've gotboth hands.
I'm on the driver's side, I'vegot both hands over the fender,
right.
So I'm like I'm pissed and I'mlike I just kind of give the car
(12:02):
a shove down like son of abitch, you know, and the hood
drops and my right no, my leftthumb okay, my left thumb gets
shut between the hood and thefender.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
So if you can imagine
.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
I'm on the driver's
side right, my left thumb is
there and I'm back towards theback and I can.
I can reach the the side mirrorright.
So there's no fucking way I'mreaching the latch in the front.
There is nobody around.
Oh, it's 10 fucking degreesoutside.
What time of day it's?
(12:39):
Um, we'll say four o'clock Idon't know three o'clock four
o'clock somewhere in there.
So I end up I have to rip mythumb, my thumb out of the
fucking hood where it's shut.
So to this day I still have ascar there.
From where?
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I ripped it out I had
like skin, like pulled back and
so kind of explain to me howyour your thumb got, but you
couldn't reach the latch.
That's the only thing, if youdon't mind.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
So if you can imagine
, I'm on the driver's side right
Yep.
My thumb is between the hoodand the fender.
Yep, I can reach the sidemirror right.
Yep, the latch is all the wayin the front of the car.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Gotcha, I can't
fucking reach it Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
So there's no way.
Oh my God, how?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
long did you sit
there before you had to?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
make Until I made the
decision to rip my thumb out.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Dude.
You had a real life saw moment,right when it's like dude.
What if?
The fucking doll came out ofnowhere.
It was like hey, Brad, how areyou?
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I know you want to
start your 84 Pontiac Grand Prix
today.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
It's just not
happening.
But you have two choices.
Yeah, so, dude it was.
I was like fuck, what do I do?
I'm like I'm looking around,there's nobody.
I'm I'm calling, I'm likeyelling, there's nobody.
Nobody coming.
I'm like shit, I probably, Idon't know.
Minute, minute and a halfbefore I just decide to okay,
here we go, did the nail justcome right off no, luckily it
didn't.
I think there was enough gap inthere that it just peeled the
skin out right just dude, beforethe next episode we have to
(14:15):
look up what an 84 grand prixhood weighs oh yeah do you know
what I mean?
Speaker 2 (14:20):
yeah, it was.
It was down and latched like Icouldn't pull it out.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I'm trying to pull
the the the hood back up.
You know it's latched.
There's no way.
I mean, luckily it was down andlatched, Like I couldn't pull
it out.
I'm trying to pull the hoodback up.
You know, and it's latched.
There's no way.
I mean luckily it didn't closeall the way down, right,
Otherwise it would have probablytaken my thumb off.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
This was not even in
the plan tonight.
So since you told that story, Igot one for you.
That's kind of crazy.
So you know, the auto show inDetroit, I got one for you.

We got like snacks and you know, a cooler back there, whatever.
I'm rummaging through it whilemy brother was at the trunk
before me and he was done.

Like it's like when your wife'sshowering or something you got
to pee and she's like don'tflush, you know Like, and as
soon as you're done, it's likewhat you always do, right, right

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Right.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Dude, my, my finger
must've been in there.

Get out my.
My whole nail is just full ofblood.
Speaker 1 (17:01):

for like six hours, and you knowand your fingers just throbbing
yeah, and the two people thatyou look up to the most.
They're geeked to be there andyou want them.
You want them to have fun,right.
So like you can't even complain, but you're not even old enough
to understand pain and you justwent through that Like it was
(17:28):
such a weird day, dude.
I have a picture of me Like Istill remember it because I'm
wearing like a Michael Jordanjersey.
Oh yeah, I'm giving a thumbs upand if you look in the picture
like I, have my thumb cocked alittle bit.
And like it, it looks like areally gangster person is really
trying to make an impact withtheir middle finger the thumb
out.
I don't know if that makes adifference, but yeah, it's just
(17:52):
my nails full of blood, oh shit.

We're Eskimo trunk brothersdude.
Oh my God, it's like one in thefront, one in the back Paniac,
honda, dude.
(18:13):
Yeah, I've been there, you know.
So I got a really, really,really funny winter story for
you.
So I'm going to take you backto the college years.
All right, so 2010.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Okay, and I went, so
I'm going to take you back to
the college years.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
So, all right, 2010,
okay, and I went to what I went
to western michigan university,so that's right.
In kalamazoo, yep and uh, thegolden years of learning,
personal growth personal growthlife lessons that no textbook
could teach you oh, yeah, youknow my third year was kind of a
high a highlight reel of, ifyou ask me, thank you to the
(18:49):
kind folks at bronco apartments.
So first year I lived on thedorms it was wild, I mean you
have a, you have a roommate, youhave a room that's, you know,
no bigger than a utility closet,and don't you?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
have to stay on the
dorms.
Yeah, it's kind of it seemslike it's just a money grab, but
in the in the end it is kind ofcool because you get to stay on
the dorms.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Yeah, it's so weird.
It seems like it's just a moneygrab, but in the end it is kind
of cool because you get tolearn campus and you get a lot
of your friends that way.
So a lot of my homies were thepeople on my floor that we would
just do crazy shit.
We could do a whole episode onthat dude.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
We used to have
jungle juice parties.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
We may do that
someday.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Yeah, jungle juice
parties, all sorts of crazy
shits Like filling up bathtubswith liquor and inviting 30
people to a closet to get allfucked up, did it?
You know?
Yeah, so, anyway, broncoApartments.
So this is my third year ofcollege, right?
Yeah, so these beauties werethe equivalent of a dive bar,
(19:43):
the apartment.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Okay, like if an
apartment was a dive bar.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Okay, that's where I
stayed, okay gritty,
questionable, but somehowcharming, you know, yes, yep, so
only a only a broke college kidwould really appreciate that
too.
Right, like you, like like myparents pulled up to like help
me move in.
They're like you gotta befucking kidding me like this
looks like shit.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Dude, are you fucking

Like this looks like shit, dude, Are you fucking serious right
now and you're like this isgreat, Like, dude, it's a
perfect two bedroom fucking bath.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Like dude, I used to
live in a utility closet.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
This is an upgrade.
So the deal that they wererunning which is really weird is
rent and internet was reallywhat we had to cover.
So we thought so water trashutility is recovered by them.
Plus, it was really weird butyou got a 40 gift card to get
like cottage in, like a pizzaplace, like every other week or
(20:33):
something.
Okay, so like that's probablywhat draw drew us in, which is
so stupid right like yeah, but Imean when you're a college kid.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
I mean pizza is what
you live on it's so true, but I
want pizza and ramen noodlesdude ramen noodle pizza needs to
be created.
No, no, nobody needs to createa ramen pizza.
Yeah, no so long story short.
Speaker 2 (20:56):

guy Right Flew from fucking
Arizona.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeah, to be there at
the party.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
What a fucking dude
Yep.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Well, he's been one
of my best friends my whole
fucking life.
I lived with him in college, sowe got duped, right.
So we go to this apartmentcomplex.
You know, they got the freepizza coupons, dude.
Of course we're signing up forthat shit, right?
So it's probably December, it'sclose to Christmas, it's winter
break for college, so it's gotto be like mid-December, you
(21:32):
know, probably sometime betweenDecember 15 and 25, 2010.
We walk into our apartment andlights are on in the hallway.
And lights are on when you walkup the staircase, not when you
open our door.
Lights are off.
Okay, we're.
We're like six months into this.
Okay, yeah, lights are off.
(21:52):
It is so fucking cold in there.
You can see your breath oh yeahlike I wasn't worried about any
of our fridge items or freezeritems, like they're totally fine
, right, right.
So we freaked the fuck out,naturally.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Like we got our power
shut off, dude.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
So here we are
thinking oh my God, we get pizza
coupons and they pay ourutilities, and they pay this,
whatever right.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Shadiest place in the
world dude.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
No shit If.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Denny's had like an
office where, like, like the
managers all worked.
It would look like this do youknow what I mean?
Speaker 3 (22:28):
like, if like, all
the dandies employees like had
their own office like this iswhat it would look like, right?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
so we called the
electric company, just pissed
off, and we're like we this hasto be a mistake, right?
Yeah, the deal is you guyscover utilities, you guys cover
water, you guys cover trash.
We cover the rest so we had topay our internet and our rent,
yep, so we thought it was a hugemistake and it was not in the
(22:54):
way that we know shit at all.
So they said you owe usthirteen hundred dollars.
We called up and we're like it'sright around christmas time,
like you gotta be fuckingkidding me, right?
She then tells me that ithasn't been paid in 14 months.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
No, shit we've been
there six, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
And honestly if I'm
being completely brutally honest
right now I never in a millionyears thought that that's how
like electrical worked in anapartment.
I thought it was either on allor nothing like right like like
you either, have all the lightson or you don't.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Right.
Well, you didn't have any.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Do you get?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
what I'm saying
though.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Like the other, the
other tenants had their lights
on.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I thought it would
either be like the apartment
lost it Yep, I didn't know itwas individualized either.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Like it was weird for
me, me, okay.
So they tell us, 14 months,1300 bucks.
Me and jack were like what thefuck?
Dude, fuck these people, fucktheir pizza coupons, dude, you
guys fucking suck.
So we go in the office, rightyeah, and they tell us flat out
like if you want your heatturned back on, it's 1300 and
from that day we'll be there ina week oh, my god like like like
, talk about shitting on an arty, shitty situation.
(24:09):
Okay, it's like hey, if youscrap up money for, uh, that
guy's rent that was here beforeyou, you know the guy you've
never met before and owe nothingto um.
Also, it'll take a week becauseof your goodwill, fuck you wow
so in a confused panic westormed the apartment office
right like we walk in there.
We're hot oh yeah likeabsolutely, you know what I mean
(24:30):
.
Like like mom just found weedin the fucking in the phone in
your in your room during your 14.
Like you hear that, like we'refucking done here, you know so
we thought you covered this.
You know we want we walk inthis lady and she's just dude,
yeah she she doesn't give a fuck.
No, she's smoking a cigarette inher office.
(24:51):
Okay, fucking shit everywhere,dude looks like a hoarder house,
like they could have done adocumentary on cleaning her
fucking office, right.
So she's looking at us, shekind of like.
She's just kind of like nope,we cover trash water, you cover
internet utilities and rent.
And then me and jacko had thatlight bulb click and it's like
we've never gotten a fuckingbill.
(25:12):
We've never gotten a consumer'sbill yep, right, yeah.
And want to know why I didn'tlook for one, because I didn't
think I had to fucking pay it.
I could have sworn.
That lady told me that's how itworked, right.
So she literally looks at meand janko, like when we have the
slide balls, like okay, so ifwe're supposed to pay this, then
where's our fucking bill?
(25:32):
Why have we not gotten a bill?
yeah she looks at points andgoes could be in the stack over
there.
There is a stack of mail, buddy, that is okay, you never
fucking checked the mail.
Okay, like eight foot highceilings tables, maybe four,
this stacks five deep.
All of it's touching thefucking ceiling, buddy wow me
(25:55):
and jacko, are going throughthis mail and just fucking
scowling at this lady.
Just what the fuck?
Where's the fuck?
We're like looking for ourapartment number and other names
that we don't even know exist.
Yeah, you know, frustratingthat shit is oh my god and, like
me and jacko, both have anxiety.
We're both, we both made it.
But like god damn, like talkabout putting someone in a
(26:18):
pressure situation, so she knewthat there was a stack of
fucking mail piling up anddidn't say anything.
Dude yeah, what the fuck.
So yeah, so we look through 2000 pieces of mail, like indiana
jones looking for a fuckingartifact from tenants, some dude
.
Some of this mail was datedseven years ago.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Oh, okay, so 2010.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Some of this mail was
like almost y2k era oh shit yes
, wow so that's fucked up I juststay at my parents and here's,
here's the twist.
That's kind of hilarious, okay,so just like a dorm we had.
Uh, so in the dorm you share abathroom with another, but like
your rooms are connected by thebathroom right so same thing
(27:02):
with this apartment, but weshared a deck.
Okay, so same thing we didn'thave to shit in the same place,
which is really neat yeah youknow.
But we could go uh, smoke a duveon the porch right marshall
mark, great fucking guys.
So we go over there to theirapartment, which also doesn't
have power.
Okay, also happened to them,okay oh shit they're just like
(27:25):
back then they were true bluestoners, just didn't give a fuck
right like so they weren'tgonna go down there and cause a
ruckus, like me and jacko were.
They were gonna let me andjacko go cause the ruckus.
Oh, yeah and figure out what thefuck's going on through us,
right so this is the kicker dude, I stayed at my parents for
like five days and, dude, that'sweird, like when you're like 20
or whatever, and you, you havethat independence and then you
(27:46):
have to come back yeah awful,yeah right it was just weird.
Not that I don't love them.
They're the.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
They're the shit,
dude yeah, no, everybody gets
that.
Yeah, if you're out and youhave freedom, you don't want to
go back I come back five dayslater to the apartment to get
clothes.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Like dude, it is
freezing.
So, like the first time youcould see our breath.
Yeah, this time, like when Iwalk in dude, nipples are hard
Like it's fucking brutal.
Yeah, I walked in there with acoat on, like a hat.
You know I'm not a scarf guy.
I don't even want to lie aboutit, but, like you know, I was
bundled up and five days laterwalk on my deck.
(28:24):
I realize that marshall andmark have been there the whole
fucking time.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Oh shit, how the fuck
are they surviving?
Speaker 2 (28:34):
they got like their
parents, live in town too that's
the best part dude theirparents live 15 minutes away,
just like mine.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Do right dude, they
got like a little uh pit, like a
burn pile or something likethat, out there on the deck
Sleeping bags, a tent indoors.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
dude A buddy heater.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Lamps and, like
Coleman fucking lamps everywhere
.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Right.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Illuminating the sky,
dude.
Apparently they were doingtheir own fucking survival show.
Extreme apartment livingfrostbite edition Five days.
I still, to this day, have somuch respect for them oh, yeah,
yeah and those are dudes Ihaven't talked to in a while but
honestly I love them to death,man and dude like.
I tell that story all the timebecause it blows my mind and
(29:17):
maybe they did go home, but Idon't want to believe it that
way right like sorry yeah dude,you want to hold up a hot dog.
I'm outside like smoking acigarette.
One of them holds up a hot dog.
I'm outside smoking a cigarette.
One of them holds up a hot doglike Schwab, you want a hot dog.
And it's just like dude,they're nestled in.
This is like a whole new springbreak for them.
They've been smoking weed,They've been eating hot dogs,
they have camping equipment.
Dude, they didn't have to pay afee.
(29:38):
They definitely didn't have topay for the power.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
oh my, probably not
even paying rent at that point
they're the true champions,right like bronco apartments
taught me a lot.
Okay, they taught me always askwho's paying the utilities.
I think that's a key questionnow, you know like you know,
when you start dating someone,you move in like, hey, you got
this, or do I?
probably should ask that, yeah,just throw it out there and
never underestimate theresilience of college students
(30:04):
armed with a grill and amotherfucking dream.
You know what I mean, likethat's.
But here we are, like stayingwith mom and dad hating it.
Dude, come back five days later.
Haven't talked to them, they'rejust nestled in and having a
blast.
No shit, yeah.
Playing cards, dude with awhole, like like camp, like a
(30:25):
camp like.
They could have started theirown for survivorship, like a
lantern that you like put theoil in.

They're eagle scouts, so like,they're very, like, very
resourceful dudes, oh yeah nice,awesome.

second story all right.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
So this is when I was
14, okay, okay, and it was
wintertime obviously, and whereI lived, we had a gravel pit
that was it was called.
It was wintertime obviously,and where I lived we had a
gravel pit that was on Big HillRoad, right.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Was there a big hill
on the road?
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Yeah, there was
actually.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Fuck yeah dude.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
So I actually went on
maps and got the distance from
my house to the gravel pit right, because when we were there
there was five of us.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
What town is this?
Speaker 1 (31:54):
This is Sturgis.
Grew up in Sturgis, Dude hotnow.
Oh yeah, they're the last one.
I wanted to go there the otherday, they were closed.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Try the ranch.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Are you a ranch guy?
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Dude, I haven't been
there in years.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Next time you're
there, trust me, okay, order
your three burgers for six bucks, right.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Order your fries yeah
.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Ask them for a side
ranch.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
They make it in-house
and it is to die for dude.
All right, I'll check it out.
Continue the big river, the bighill story.
Yeah, the big hill story.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Yeah, the big hill
story.
So it was 0.7 miles from myhouse to the gravel pit right.
Yep, I believe there was fourof us, four of us guys.
There was me, john Corey andGreg how old were you guys.
Everybody was around 14.
I was 14.
(32:45):
A couple of guys were probably15.
I'm not sure we were all aboutthat age.
Yep, and so we took our sledsthere, right, because it's
wintertime and there's a greatbig fucking gravel pit, there's
a big hill right, yeah.
We're going fucking Mach 2 downthe hill, right, yep.
Well, we're all there and, forwhatever reason, we find this
great big plastic sheet and it'sreally thick.
(33:08):
It's probably a half inch thickplastic.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Like at the top of
the hill.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Yeah, we just found
it somewhere in the gravel pit
and we're like fucking A, thisis plastic, this should go right
.
So we all get on this sheet ofplastic, which is probably like
a four by eight sheet of plastic, and we all get on and we're
like, pull up the front like youwould a toboggan, you know, and
like home alone.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
We're just going down
the stairs, yeah okay, dude, we
fucking flew.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I mean, we were
fucking moving.
Well, what we didn't realizewas because our sleds weren't
that fast and obviously you haveall this weight right behind
you.
Yeah, so you're gonna get somemore velocity and some distance.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
And what we didn't
realize, was there a great big
pile of tires in the middle ofthe gravel pit?
Was it snow covered?
Yeah, you couldn't see.
Okay, we hit that fucking pileof tires and we fucking launched
.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
We're jumping this
Holy shit.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Dude, we had to
launch like 10, 15 feet.
Oh my God, dude, we had tolaunch like 10 15 feet.
So we're like we fucking getdown we're all scattered right,
we all fucking look at eachother like fucking hey that was
awesome.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Let's do it again.
Oh my god, oh my god, right,only a 14, 15 year old, right so
we get up, we're going.
I don't know, we went probablythree or four times right how
big is this drop like, if youdon't mind painting the picture
like from like.
Okay, so you're the top, I'mthinking ground.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
I'm thinking it's
probably.
I mean, I was 14 right, so hugethough yeah, I'm.
I'm thinking it was probably 30to 40 feet okay, so that's a
big from the top where westarted to the bottom.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Four people on the
same sheet.
Yeah, of plastic plastic, justflat.
Of plastic Plastic, just flatplastic dude.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
So we get down on
like the third or fourth trip
down.
I'm in the front and we go down.
We hit the pile of tires, justlike we've done several times
already.
We come down and every fuckingone of those guys land on me
Right and my fucking leg isunderneath and my leg breaks
(35:05):
Like my foot.
The top of my foot fuckingbreaks.
Oh no, I'm in fucking agonizingpain.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
So when you hit the
tires, they all hit you.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
No, we jumped the
tires and everybody, all the
guys, landed on me.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Okay, so everyone got
airborne from the tires.
Yeah, oh yeah, they're airborne, they're coming down.
You landed first, being infront.
Yep.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Everybody's fucking
pile driving me.
Oh God, so I'm fucking layingthere, I'm not moving.
All those fucking guys get upand go again.
They just fucking leave methere.
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (36:01):

things that don't make sense
like mosquitoes what do they do,mosquitoes?
Yeah?
I don't know.
I mean, it's keen I have.
I have a very goodunderstanding of a lot of the
things that I learned in sciencethat I question now, like in
science class in high school andshit.
(49:54):
I question the shit out of ityeah, they're full shit.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
Yeah, yeah, if I can
buy a rack making kit at walmart
for fucking twelve dollars yeah, I don't know that you need
your job anyway, yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
With AI and stuff
yeah oh yeah okay number five do

It's not a dish, I'm going toclean it like it's one.
Call it a spa for her.

You know, oh shit and numberfive.
Speaker 1 (51:31):
Okay, so we're coming
out with all these EVs and
electric vehicles and all thisautonomous shit, right?
Yep?
So I think in 2025, we're goingto have our first autonomous
and autonomous crash.
They will run into each other.
Speaker 2 (51:50):
Like two people who
are letting the cars drive
themselves, but they hit.
Speaker 1 (51:54):
Yep, they both
fucking deserve it well, you
know what, but that's the thingthat's a big question for who
pays for that?
Yeah, who pays for that shit?
I don't know.
Yeah, so that's my top five.
That's deep.
Speaker 2 (52:06):
That's my top five
dude, I'm kind of glad that
we're not rich like that, though, like dude, if I had a car that
drove like, I would spend awhole day going around like
Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone,Like I'd have like the cheese
pizza waiting for me I'd go tolike the fucking toy factory,
dude, Like you know what I mean.
Can you imagine if me and youhad driving cars, dude?
Speaker 1 (52:32):
We'd get fucked up
and just go around town.
Speaker 2 (52:33):
I wouldn't want that
though I don't, I, I yeah, I
don't know, I'm not sold on thatshit.
Speaker 1 (52:36):
I like driving, I do,
I do, I like, uh, having some
control.
You know the naps must beawesome though.
Speaker 2 (52:41):
Oh yeah, you know we,
we might have to interview
someone that has a car thatdrives itself yeah, I've just
said because, like I don't evenknow what that's like.
Yeah, it's like staying at likethe ritz carlton, like I I
don't even know what that islike holiday end to me is
awesome yeah all right buddyokay, I got my top five
predictions for 2025.
These are a little bit bold.
Some of them are crazy okay sonumber one, and these are things
(53:04):
I kind of think are gonnahappen, like I you know
half-heartedly because, uh, thisis a comedy podcast, so I gotta
keep it fucking funny rightright give the fans what they
want, chris um.
So I think in 2025.
This is bold, but I I trulybelieve it.
I think a team that has neverwon the super bowl will win the
(53:26):
super bowl this year.
Oh, there's only two teams thatare left that could have that
happen?
The Lions.
Speaker 1 (53:34):
That's a bold, bold
prediction there buddy, the
Lions and the Bills.
Speaker 2 (53:38):
Do you know what
happened to the Bills, Brad?
They went to the Super Bowlfour times in a row.
Speaker 3 (53:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (53:42):
Lost all four.
Yeah, ooh, that's Dude.
I would enjoy that.
I would enjoy either one ofthose teams you know four times
losing yeah, that's gotta hurtso bad like this is our year.
Speaker 2 (53:57):
It's not.
You know what I mean.
Like yeah so the super bowlbegan in 1967 we're talking
about 56 years, you know whenthe first super bowl bred the
green bay, the green bay packers, over the kansas city chiefs.
Speaker 1 (54:09):
Oh really, I you know
who won the first Super Bowl?
Brad the.
Speaker 2 (54:10):
Green.
Speaker 3 (54:10):
Bay.
Speaker 2 (54:10):
Packers, the Green
Bay Packers, over the Kansas
City Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (54:13):
Oh, really, I did not
know who they played.
Speaker 2 (54:15):
Yeah, so I think the
Bills or the Lions this year
it's bold One's on NFC, one'sAFC.
Speaker 1 (54:23):
Oh, that'd be cool to
have them both there so we can
have Lions-Bills Super Bowl.
That would be awesome.
Speaker 2 (54:32):
That would be awesome
, and it's time to send those
fuckers home for a fifth time.
Am I right?
Oh my God, all right.
Bold prediction number two Allright, in this one, god, I hope
this happens.
I hope that a huge rock bandwill announce a reunion tour
this year.
Speaker 3 (54:47):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (54:47):
And the ones that I
have listed Ozzy Osbourne or
Black Sabbath.
I know he's frail dude, butOzzy Osbourne lives to play
music.
Yeah, I don't care if he'ssitting down, His voice is
insane.
Speaker 1 (55:00):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (55:01):
Like say what you
want about that guy.
Speaker 1 (55:03):
He's changed the
genre, he's still rock.
Speaker 2 (55:11):
Dude, that's one guy
that I just you know.
I've been to so many concertsI've never seen Ozzy.
That's the one that I'm dyingto see yeah.
And oh man, he's just electric.
Or Black Sabbath, yeah, fuckLed Zeppelin.
Okay, Dude, everyone's alive inLed Zeppelin.
Speaker 3 (55:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (55:24):
Except for John
Bonham.
So their drummer died right Hisson Jason Bonham, right his son
jason bottom.
They did a tribute show in 2007, so robert plant, jimmy page
and john paul jones are alive.
Speaker 3 (55:38):
They had um john
bottom do the drums, yeah pink
floyd david billmore and rogerwaters, both alive van halen.
Speaker 2 (55:45):
Oh yeah, the beatles
which I know, I know, know, but
Ringo and Ringo and Paul.
Speaker 1 (55:51):
Yeah, that would be
tough.
The Beatles would be tough.
Speaker 2 (55:55):
I know it wouldn't be
the same, it's not the same
without John Lennon, and it'snot the same yeah.
It would just, it just wouldn't, it wouldn't be the same, but I
think it'd be super fuckingcool.
Speaker 1 (56:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (56:16):
But yeah, you need
George Harrison there and you
also need john lennon.
I mean, they're just incredible.
But so number three, boldprediction, all right, this is
where it gets a little funny.
But I think electric cars takean even bigger shit on the
market, putting a lot of themain ones out of business, and I
think that people will storethem in the old kmart
blockbuster bed, bath and beyondsears and jc penny lots and it
will turn into a bad decisionmuseum, right Like where parents
can use that to show their kidslike, hey, don't get cocky, all
(56:39):
right, see all those cars there.
At one point people thoughtthose were going to sell
everywhere.
You see that fucking storeright there.
Yeah, it's called Blockbuster.
Yeah, used to sell stock fortons of money.
Yeah, can't find one anymore.
That's awesome.
That's awesome and I thinkthey're going to take a huge dip
in the market.
(56:59):
So like 20.
So just to put it inperspective for you 2019
electric car sales 17.8 billionyep 2020 17.7, 2021 25 billion,
2022 40 billion, 2023 67 billionand 2024 59.8 billion.
So it's going down.
Yep, I guess where they'regoing bad bath and beyond it's
(57:23):
about time we figure it out whatthat beyond section is all
right, yeah, beyond, beyond baddecisions a bunch of cars
blinking, pissed off, like youknow, you know, oh my God.
So I have another predictionthat was kind of similar to
yours, which I kind of enjoyed.
So I think that in 2025, theRout and Loudy podcast will gain
(57:45):
a lot of traction and becomepart-time work for us in 20,
2026 or it's actually somethinga little more professional what
do you mean?
We're not professional I'm notsaying that we gotta go get
suits right, dude.
Funny, funny fact about me a lotof people know this dude, and
(58:06):
so I don't wear suits a lot, asyou know, right, yeah, but I've
had to, and just like everyoneelse has had to.
Every time I put a suit onbuddy, I want to go fire someone
in a random business like justrandom, like I want to go like
three.
Walk up to terry dude, you'refired I want to go to fucking
someone at speedway.
You know?
It's like hey, janice, I'm justletting you know we're done
here.
It's like what, what's going on?
Um, yeah, i'm'm Bill fromcorporate.
(58:30):
Like what I responded mymanager's George, like I'm
George's boss.
No, George's boss is Steve,Like I'm Steve's boss too, Right
?
Speaker 1 (58:38):
You know, Just like
walk in there, like you're
fucking done, get your shit, youknow.
Speaker 3 (58:42):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 2 (58:43):
I could never do that
, though, because I have a huge
heart.
No, somebody.
But like every time I put asuit on, I just want to go make
a funny fucking punked video.
You know, like janice, you'refired.
Am I really?
No, no, not at all.
Wow, yeah, I think by 2026, Ithink okay.
So I think by 2025 we're gonnahave more subscribers, more
(59:04):
listens, yeah, but I think by2026 it's gonna be partially our
job okay, part-time work yeahand that's not me being cocky,
that's just me.
I fucking believe in us, dude,and yeah, and that's what it is
like it's just like dude we'retwo fucking dumb asses right, we
don't even know how this shitworks, we're just like we're
(59:25):
just fucking doing it we're justyelling into microphones.
Speaker 1 (59:29):
So you know what,
dude, I'm having fucking a riot
yeah, and honestly, that's whatit's all about.
Speaker 2 (59:34):
Only goal with this
is just making other people
laugh and have a good day, likeif you're having a shitty
fucking day.
Yeah turn this on and tell meyou don't laugh.
Speaker 1 (59:41):
If you don't laugh,
dude fuck you, karen, I'll buy,
yeah, I'll buy you some tacobell and we'll go talk about why
.
Speaker 2 (59:47):
Pc is not the coolest
way to be, you know, like Like
an adult, like a Christmas carolor whatever, taking a reality.
You see, these people, they'renot having as much fun as Brad
and Schwab are.
Right, yeah, I can guarantee it.
Yeah, all right, number five.
So I think that the OnlyFansplatform in 2025 will crash
(01:00:09):
because people will figure outthat porn is also on the
internet.
Oh my god, there's a freeversion.
Cool, I don't have to payMiranda $24 every month to see
her titties.
Oh my god dude Right Freeversion.
Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
Dude, to put it in
perspective for you, though
OnlyFans.
Last year 60 billion dollars ohmy god, really 60 billion
dollars for the kicker, the nba57 billion wow, really yeah,
they outdid the nba last year.
They didn't shake a stick atthe nfl yeah, yeah, wow, but
(01:00:50):
yeah, no, shit, that's so.
So what you're saying is, weshould have our only fans page,
is there?
Speaker 2 (01:00:59):
yeah, right we
already do.
We've got one subscriber andour fucking poor awesome friend
chris would be so confused whenwe use this profile picture,
right?
But it's about you, buddy.
Oh my God, did you have any?
That didn't make your list.
Speaker 1 (01:01:16):
Oh, predictions, let
me look back.
Yeah, one was air taxis.
Air taxis Well, like drones,Like a tram car, but a taxi Well
no, like a drone, like they'restarting to deliver packages and
shit like that with drones.
Just having a drone taxi, likea flying car, dude, that would
(01:01:38):
be sick.
It would be, you know, it wouldbe so sick.
Let's see, the war in Ukrainewill magically just end.
Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
Without any statement
, it'll just kind of just stop.
Speaker 3 (01:01:52):
It'll just go away.
Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
That'd be sweet and I
think that's it.
That's all I had for otherpredictions for this year.
Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
I had some crazy ones
, dude.
I always go with like 10.
It's insane.
I'm like sitting there crossingthem off.
You know Diddy's list will haveover 300 names on it that
Kyle's coming up right I thinksome of them are gonna suck dude
.
Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
Oh yeah, you know
like.
Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
I think a lot of our
athletes that like we really
like are gonna be on there yeah,it's unfortunate, but I think
someone will date an ai robot.
Like fucking date an ai robotand like go public about it.
Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
Oh yeah, like, like
walking around meyer dude, like
well, I mean that goes alongwith my 3d pen.
Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
They're gonna be
fully customizable oh my god,
you know armies dude yeah wholefleets.
You're not gonna get dude.
What if doordash went withrobots?
So doordash is now deliveringfast food, which is already like
the laziest fucking thing youcould have delivered.
Right, right, it's fast food.
(01:02:54):
It's called fast food becauseit's quick for you.
Speaker 3 (01:02:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:02:57):
And now you're
getting it delivered Like it's
already.
A lazy fucking system.
Speaker 3 (01:03:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
Sorry, if you guys
like DoorDash, I do too.
Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
But like it's just
like when you're at home and you
just don't want to leave yeah,I mean, I guess you know, but
it's the same thing.
I mean, we've had deliverypizzas for how long?
I mean, we use.
We both used to be those, thoseguys, oh dude I would deliver
pizzas and like smoke a dube.
Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
Take my time coming
back, dude.
Speaker 1 (01:03:33):
It's like when you
think about I mean I'm sure
there's people that use itbecause they're just lazy and
don't want to do it.
But then there's you gotfamilies that, yeah, you know
there's.
Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
There's different
reasons but nothing like driving
through a snowstorm to givesomeone else a pizza like right
