Gary.
I'm awesome.
Welcome to our show.
And this is how we're we're starting off the show.
With a bang.
With a bang. Yeah.
This is maybe considered our season finale, right?
For this year.
(00:45):
Definitely for this year.
You know, if we were going to do a season finale, we should have stopped at like sip number four or five, you know.
Make it like a TV show.
Four episodes? What TV shows do you want?
They've been doing that.
I don't want to talk about it. It's suppressing.
(01:07):
Alright.
What are you guys drinking?
Glad you asked.
Oh.
Bourbon.
Nice.
I'm drinking a East Coast Hazy IPA.
East Coast IPA.
(01:29):
A hazy? How is it? Is it good?
It's a little bitter, but it's okay.
So it tastes like beer?
No, it doesn't taste like beer. No.
Not beer.
Not beer. No. No. It's actually...
You got another one?
It's a hazy.
You got another one?
Not too bad. I have my, you know, famous michelada.
(01:55):
Yeah.
Mexican Bloody Mary.
Yeah. I know.
You know it.
So, what has everybody been up to?
I don't want to talk about it.
Not after what you said backstage.
(02:19):
Oh yeah.
I can't talk about that.
But besides the backstage stuff, I figured out how to take apart the Jeep in a lot more ways than I planned on.
Okay.
This is simple, huh?
So, remember the oil change after McDonald's Texas told you it was running funny?
(02:45):
Okay.
So I started getting a check engine light. It was a misfire cylinder four. So I was like, I got tired of it popping up.
So I said, you know what? Let me take it apart. Let me just see what it could be.
Right.
Researched it. Common issues where a spark plug or wiring or just common related things.
So I said, you know what? Spark plug is the easiest bit. Let me just change up the spark plug.
(03:06):
Mind you, I bought brand new everything at like 50,000 miles. So they have less than 10,000 miles on them.
I thought nothing of it. Let me just change it.
Right.
And did that. The whole car went haywire.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
What? Just change the spark plugs?
Turns out my fuel injector was bad.
Oh shit. Okay.
(03:27):
Oh damn.
But yeah, I changed the spark plug and while I was there, I just changed the coil pack because it was like 40 bucks more from there.
I might as well change it.
So I did hold that and then the fuel injector did not like it.
So I had to pull that apart too. And that was, that was not fun.
(03:48):
But you got it done, right?
Spilled about a half gallon of gas, but yeah, I got it done.
I forgot because whenever I'm working on the car, I leave the windows down, but I had to go to the store twice.
So I got on the bike and went, but as I'm coming back, I roll my windows back down.
So you turn the key, not turn it over, but you put accessory, put the windows down.
(04:13):
That primes the fuel pump. So it was just shooting gas and I completely forgot about it.
Oh shit. Nailed it.
That was fun.
That sounds fun.
So I do have a pretty big announcement, right?
Here we go.
(04:36):
I'm moving to Arkansas.
Arkansas.
Arkansas.
Arkansas.
Really?
It's crazy, right?
Yeah.
But this time for a much longer bid.
You want to go?
Yeah.
It's a three year, what would they call it?
(05:00):
A bid.
He didn't do nothing.
Yeah.
Now that's the teachers are going to come out, you know, free my boy.
Hey, Zeus.
So what are you doing?
I got picked up for AGR.
So, which is our active guard reserve, pretty much full-timer as a reservist.
(05:28):
So you're active duty.
Essentially, yes.
So what type of unit are you going to?
It's a, what is it? ICTC. Inland cargo transportation.
What the hell is that?
I'm not sure. I'm definitely going to find out pretty soon though.
(05:54):
They've even made the news a couple of years back.
They do the transport between rail and air.
I think it is.
You're going to be a shitty AGR.
(06:17):
Already, right?
I'll take the job. I don't know what it is.
That's the army. They teach you how to do it. And that's it.
Luckily for me, the guy that I'm replacing, he's not leaving until March.
So I'll have some time to shadow him and really pick his brain and all of that.
(06:44):
Which is great.
I'm looking forward to it. It's definitely a change in scenery, change of pace.
It's not under STDC.
So let me ask you. Your time that you have in the reserves, how does that, does that transfer over to now you being active?
(07:06):
Or some of it, or how does that work?
I believe it stays with the point system. So whatever my points are is whatever I can retire with.
Obviously, this is going to boost up my numbers because now I'll be considered active duty.
(07:28):
So therefore, it'll be one day for one day sort of thing.
So my points are definitely going to go up, which means a better retirement for me.
Yeah, definitely.
My points are pretty good now.
So going on this three year tour is definitely going to help boost up those numbers.
Crazy.
(07:50):
Is it only going to be three years?
I mean, usually they're three years. Sometimes they do extend for a little bit longer.
But then you change.
Yeah, you got a PCS.
Right, and then you PCS to wherever they need you. If you choose to go.
Are you going to choose to stay in? Are you going to choose to?
I think I'm still pretty able, so I think I'm going to try to ride it out as much as I can.
(08:18):
Can you try to do it 20 years? I mean, you're still young.
Youngish?
He's a spring chicken.
Speaking of chickens.
Yeah, he even laid an egg.
Yeah, I don't have the egg anymore, but my chickens laid their first egg today.
(08:40):
So it's a pretty big deal.
Well, you know, you had a chicken lay its first egg today.
A chicken lay an egg, yes.
Why not a B chicken?
A chicken.
A chicken. Tomorrow, hopefully, is B chicken.
(09:01):
Okay.
All right.
But now, with that being said, I am down to two chickens out of four chickens.
Wow.
So another one bites the dust.
Another one bites the dust.
Yeah, this time I did find the remains of what was left of the poor little chicken.
(09:25):
Did you cook it?
No.
It was a shit ton of feathers and whatever was left of the body.
Take a look at my cut it up here.
The kids don't got to know.
Oh, they saw it. They were like, oh, poor Waddleton. RIP.
His name was Waddleton.
(09:47):
Waddleton, yeah.
Like a chicken. Waddle, waddle.
Like a what?
Waddle, waddle.
So now you got to go get some more chickens.
So I've been doing a lot of research, and my first step is going to be to get a rooster, right?
(10:08):
Because one, the rooster keeps the flock in check, and before I get new chicks.
It's actually pretty cold over here.
This is like in the 40s during the day, it goes up to like mid 50s, low 60s.
It must be nice.
(10:29):
It's actually pretty cold out here in Florida.
It's 40 degrees.
I wish.
Listen, this morning I took out the dog at like 4 a.m. and all the grass was nice and frosty.
So it's quite chilly down here.
Right.
Come back to New York.
(10:51):
No, thank you.
You can keep that.
Sure about that.
You sure about that?
Yeah, I'm definitely sure about that.
You could keep that.
So back to the chicken, or the rooster, sorry.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know another cock?
Yes.
Yeah, he wants another cock.
A big one this time.
(11:14):
So they protect the flock and they maintain like rule, you know.
So my sister-in-law, she has, yeah, she has, she bought a set of four chickens, right?
And then a few months later, she bought, I believe, another set of four chickens.
But the big ones bully the little ones.
(11:37):
Now, if you have a rooster, he'll make sure that that doesn't happen.
So I was hesitant to buy more chickens because now I was like, okay, well, I don't want the big chickens picking on the little chicks, you know,
and then like, then going over the whole same thing of losing more chickens.
Oh my God.
Or put the younger chickens in counseling because they're being bullied.
(12:02):
I'm going to need a mediator.
That's not why they're going to go to counseling.
So I'm going to get a rooster first and then I'm going to get, you know, chicks this way.
He can manage them and protect the flock and, you know, make sure that they're good.
Everybody's good and happy.
Okay.
(12:23):
Nice.
It's a lot, man.
I mean, it's, it's, it's, it's pretty.
You didn't think it was going to be this difficult, huh?
No, I definitely didn't.
You're going to buy some chicks and they're just going to be waddling around the place laying eggs.
Exactly.
Yeah.
But there's a lot.
There's definitely a lot involved to it.
I actually bought a couple of steaks.
(12:44):
They're plastic steaks, but I made like a little fence area.
It's much bigger.
So they're able to just roam around.
They do fly over.
I thought you meant like an actual steak and I was confused.
Oh, like ground steaks.
Yeah.
See that makes sense.
But you said you can put a plastic steak.
I was trying to picture.
Why would you need a plastic steak?
(13:05):
Yeah.
So it's definitely you.
There's a lot to be involved with chickens.
You know, a lot more than I knew and thought I knew.
Hey, you know how much work a horse is going to be when you get one?
(13:28):
Yeah.
Oh, I'm pretty sure it's definitely.
I was talking about that to one of my buddies the other day.
I was like, like, what's the point of a horse?
It's just honestly, it's just an expensive luxury.
You know, very much.
Yeah.
I have, I have four horse.
Like, what are you doing with it?
Like, no, nothing.
I watch it graze and walk around.
(13:49):
You can ride the horse.
You can ride the horse.
Yeah.
I like the horse.
And I have to make probably two different lots so it doesn't overgraze, you know?
Yeah.
That's, yeah.
Well, I'm not saying that.
That's inappropriate.
I'm not, I'm not going to say it.
Okay.
What are you going to say?
(14:10):
You know what else a horse is good for?
Horse is a horse, of course, of course, what?
Of course, my horse.
Whatever you do with the horse, Gary, that's your business.
Oh boy.
So that's, that's my, that's my update.
(14:32):
All right.
So Gary.
Actually, I've been actually getting ready for my new job that's starting actually next week.
So I've been pretty busy with that, trying to, you know, take over these old post offices that I'll be representing.
(14:53):
So the old officers are taking me around to their offices introducing me to everybody that in the office, all the letter carries and stuff like that.
So I have like 17 offices.
So I just wrapped that up this morning.
So as of Tuesday, I will be quite a few post offices, full time officer for the letter carriers.
(15:20):
So, and January 1st, I've also been promoted out of the unit to another unit.
So I won't be seeing anyone anymore.
So I'm going to get to drive the bus.
So we're going to get to drive the bus and be banned from around elementary schools.
(15:42):
Aren't you going to drive a training, right?
Take advantage of that.
I'll pass.
I will pass.
Yes, I'm starting off the new year with a new job, new unit being promoted and, you know, take it from there.
I got my new year, new you, huh?
Yeah, I'm trying.
(16:03):
Yeah, exactly.
So let's see how the I got five years before I retire.
I'm eligible to retire.
And right now, that's all I'm looking at.
Five years.
Five.
You got a day past 26 plus like minus maybe 25, 30 years.
Who's telling me that?
So, you know, you look good.
Yeah.
Hey, I appreciate it.
(16:24):
Thank you.
I mean, I've been working since the womb.
So, you know, it's clocking in on that.
I'm not going to touch that.
I'm not going to touch that.
Yeah.
I'm not going to touch that.
Don't worry about it.
Now, so I've been with I've really been busy with that, you know, taking care of that and I had to buy a whole new fucking wardrobe, man.
Like, because now I got to walk around looking businesslike, you know, I had to buy a suit, a couple of suits.
(16:49):
Oh, dang, you got a slacks.
Slacks, shirts and ties and I got a little bit of a not a briefcase, but one of these like messenger bags.
He got a briefcase.
He got a briefcase.
What?
I have a briefcase.
But I did buy sexy socks, so like you, so I can pose my socks.
(17:10):
That's what I was going to say.
Yeah, yeah.
I did.
I got like three packs of these socks.
I'm like, you know what?
And one of them is Fast and Furious.
So I'm going to be rocking this.
There you go.
Now, you got to post it and you got to tag us.
I am going to do it.
That's the reason why I bought them.
I saw them.
I was like, you know what?
I'm going to post these to your server, motherfucker.
(17:33):
That means now I have to start looking for some interesting socks.
Yeah.
And my socks are going to be very boring because they're only going to be green or black.
Yeah, it's true.
See, that means I don't have to do it anymore.
That's right.
That's true.
Yeah.
Because I'm going to be in uniform Monday through Friday.
You know what?
Here's the deal, right?
(17:55):
Yeah.
There's nothing in the regulation that says you can't wear different socks underneath
your socks.
So just wear them underneath my socks?
Yeah.
No one's going to know.
True.
And according to regs, it'll be in regs because if you see my socks, you'll see the green
(18:19):
or black.
But guess what?
You'll be the only one to know that you're wearing them.
And you guys, everybody will be able to know.
But you know what?
Even if you wear your panties, no one will know.
Which ones?
The lace ones?
The ones you like?
Yes, the lace ones.
(18:40):
I like the lace ones.
Oh, okay.
So the lace ones.
That was a nice update.
So Lawson.
Yes, Lawson.
How about you?
How about your panties?
I don't wear panties.
Oh, you go commando.
(19:02):
I like that.
Oh, good.
Easy access.
Less laundry.
Yes, good point.
It's not a good point.
You do the same.
Shitty pants, though.
Shitty pants.
How many do you have, sir?
They do say shit happens, so I guess it is.
(19:27):
Yeah.
Do you see who's...
Does this guy have no time on his hands but post on Instagram all the time?
With a little guy.
Yeah, a little guy.
Like, Jesus, I wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning, he's posting shit.
(19:49):
I was like, go to sleep, man.
Get a job.
When is he leaving?
Oh, that's a good point.
He's leaving.
Literally, everybody left.
I'm the only one left at the unit.
What a loser.
You're with mom and dad.
Oh, the family's back together.
Back together.
And now you won't have bad influence Martinez to influence you.
(20:13):
For real.
No, bad influence Martinez gets me fat.
Oh.
225.
Can you see it?
Look, remember, big snakes hide under big rocks.
Wait, what did 225 just say?
Yeah.
Is it muscle?
(20:34):
Have you been...
I have a big muscle.
The holidays.
The holidays really kind of fuck things up a little bit.
A little bit.
Yeah.
I was, I mean, I started going back to the gym with one of my friends because he wanted
to go.
He wanted the motivation, you know, with somebody there to help him.
So I started going with him.
But excuse me, the holidays, it got in the way of that because, you know, he, he's not
(21:00):
really close with his family.
So, you know, he was just, they had overtime available.
He would go work overtime.
So I'm not going to work overtime.
And that means I have extra time to sit at home and eat good food.
So I stay home and eat good food.
There you go.
That's what happens.
But that's really the only way it messed up.
I do feel like I'm going to be a little bit of a loser.
(21:21):
That's the only way it messed up.
I do try to stay active.
Even if I'm at home, I have equipment.
I can do stuff at home.
So I've been doing pretty good.
And it shows I lost 25, 30 pounds, basically.
That's fucking good, man.
Nice.
I'm leaving Texas.
So I think I'm doing pretty good.
(21:43):
Hell yeah.
That's really good.
So what's your...
Gary was my motivation.
See that?
That's a hole.
And no more tacos for lunch every day.
Tacos for lunch every fucking day.
Every fucking day.
You know...
Because you're Mexican, you want tacos.
I find a very good spot.
(22:05):
So every time that I'm running around errands on my days off,
I definitely get that for lunch.
I come home with $68 worth of Mexican food.
I get a whole bunch of...
Yeah.
Is that good?
Because I get for lunch, then I get for dinner,
(22:26):
and then I get some stuff for breakfast.
Midnight dinner.
Oh.
So what does your family eat?
You just sit there and eat this food from them?
Yeah.
I just tease them with my food.
I'm eating better than you, loser.
(22:50):
You know what?
What?
That is one of the things about New York,
is we have all these food options, right?
I don't eat out.
You don't eat out?
I don't.
You're cooking?
It's so disappointing.
Like, I had Spanish food today because...
We always talk about backstage, you know?
(23:11):
So I got food, and it was so mid,
and I was disappointed in that.
But that's got me thinking,
I really don't eat out almost at all.
Except there's one local pizzeria we go to,
maybe twice a month if that will get pizza.
Yeah.
But we don't eat out.
I cook everything.
(23:32):
That's good.
Or I don't eat.
It's so disappointing that I know there are...
There's a couple good Mexican spots out there, or Spanish, excuse me,
Spanish spots out here by me.
Some that I used to go to frequently,
but I don't even eat them anymore.
So sad.
I mean, you're cooking for yourself, you're saving money, so...
(23:55):
Where?
You're saying.
Food is expensive.
I just spent like $2.50 the other day at the store,
and I wasn't even getting a lot.
Dude, it's fucking crazy how much you spend at a grocery store.
Yeah, I mean, I did pick up a BJ's card.
(24:16):
I think I said that last time.
And the BJ's, I have a couple in my general area,
like there's one literally five minutes down the road from me.
So I love going there.
But I go there because you get spoke items
for a little bit better price than in a regular store.
So going there, I'm still spending $300, $400 almost every time.
(24:39):
But it'll last three to five weeks, depending what I get.
Yeah, there's very specific items that I pick up in BJ's too.
Yeah, you have BJ's right there.
But you also have Walmart, which is good too.
Because Walmart, they have a lot of stuff at a good price.
For me, the Walmart is way out there.
(25:03):
Which is doable.
No, the one guy in the green acres.
Oh, okay. Yeah.
Right outside the city limit.
Yeah.
So I haven't gone to Anahua actually because it's in Ratchet.
Your favorite.
No, that's the little guy's favorite.
(25:24):
Yeah. Sure is.
So what are you guys doing for New Year's?
Anything that's planned?
Work.
You're working?
I work for Christmas too.
You're working New Year's Eve.
(25:46):
And day.
That sucks.
I worked Tuesday and Wednesday.
And then I went to New Year's Eve.
And I had my vacations since what the 20, no, the 10th.
I think it was 10, 11th, whatever.
(26:07):
I had two weeks off.
And then I just went this week.
Tuesday, Wednesday.
And then I'm off all the way up until next week, Tuesday,
after the new year.
And then.
I have to start packing up and getting all my U-Haul stuff.
I'm going to be up there the 12th.
(26:29):
Hopefully.
Arkansas?
Arkansas, yeah.
You found a place?
I was going to ask that when you start.
I start at 15.
Also, you want to get there early and get yourself settled in.
Yeah.
Hopefully I hear back.
I mean, now with the new year, I'll probably hear back maybe Tuesday,
Tuesday, Wednesday from the apartment.
(26:52):
I found a nice little house, two bedrooms, one bath.
It does have a garage, which is perfect.
This way I could take my bike.
But it's, it's 850 a month, which is nothing.
That's nothing.
And the incentive, the biggest incentive is only six minutes away from the
(27:14):
unit.
So you can walk.
Sure.
You could stumble.
You said 850?
850 for two, two bedrooms, one bath, house.
What part of Arkansas?
Jonesboro, right where the home of Arkansas State University.
(27:37):
So it's a small little town.
It's mostly like a college town because.
Memphis is a little bit of Tennessee, but it's like maybe an hour out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's not too far.
Arkansas.
Yeah.
It looks like it's going to be maybe your eight to 10 hour drive for you.
No, it's less.
(27:58):
Maybe eight hours.
So let me ask you this.
You're going by yourself, right?
Or you.
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
The kids are in the middle of school year, so I'm not going to take them out mid
school year, you know?
Okay.
So what happens when school is out?
Are you like.
I mean that listen to what you're renting now is too small.
(28:19):
So yeah, of course, you're just going to keep.
I found out.
I found out actually a couple of homes for like 80.
Like low 100s, maybe like 150.
Really nice, decent shape, you know, so the option is there in the event that
they do want to come out and stay with me.
(28:40):
But we'll see, you know, they have a lot going on here.
You know, Silas is in his baseball.
Skylar is doing her own thing, you know, so do I want to get them out of,
you know, what they have already established?
Not necessarily, you know, but we'll see.
We'll see.
Definitely not.
Yeah.
The options are there, but definitely not this year.
(29:03):
You know, it's only what seven hours, seven and change hours away from here.
That's not bad.
You go home every weekend.
Right.
And that's my plan to be spend time with the kids on the weekends, come home,
you know, take the drive.
It's 450, I think 450 miles.
OK, I just saw it on the map and it was like right above where we were.
(29:28):
Yeah.
In Texas.
So that's why I gave like eight hours.
OK, so are you going to get back and forth?
You're going to take the bike or I'm going to take my my little Jetta.
So I did get fixed.
Oh, yeah, really good.
Really good.
So right before I leave, I do want to check the brakes, make sure that,
you know, it has brand new brakes, rotors, all of that.
(29:52):
I might do an oil change.
My plan is to get a U-hoe, load up all my stuff and trailer the car.
This way I don't put miles on the car.
Plus it is a PCS.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's probably easy.
It is a PCS move.
So they they will pay have to submit the voucher, but they'll pay for the
the transport, you know.
(30:14):
Oh, that's not bad at all.
Yeah.
So what kind of VA?
I recommend is getting a big truck.
To what?
I recommend getting a bigger truck, not the 10 foot truck, because the Jetta
is going to weigh almost as much as that truck.
That's just basically the condo line van.
And those don't weigh that much.
It's all hollowed out.
So I recommend getting maybe a 15 foot truck they have just so that you have
(30:38):
actual weight when you're pulling the car and it doesn't pull you around.
I see what you're saying.
Also, if you put your bike in the car.
Because I don't I don't have a lot of a lot of stuff.
They could put his motorcycle in the back of the.
Yeah, yeah.
Extra 500 pounds.
No, yours is heavy, like seven, 800 pounds.
No, it's I think it's like 500, what?
(31:00):
550 maybe.
Oh, shit.
My bike is 500 what?
I'll look it up real quick.
Gary, how much is your bike weight?
Oh, shit.
Let me see soaking wet.
It's about 700 pounds.
I'm actually the bike.
(31:24):
With all seriousness, I am waiting for the springtime.
I honestly am.
I've heard that before.
No, not for me.
Yeah, haven't we all?
Not for me.
I mean there was a whole episode dedicated to him getting the bike.
There was a whole episode.
I will.
(31:45):
In fact, you even got the approval was what made it a miracle.
He's not going to capitalize on it.
Yes, sir.
Yeah, see, 550.
I maybe this is dry 550, but maybe 600.
What?
Yeah, maybe because your bike is so low, it felt much heavier.
(32:09):
Yeah, my bike is what I think like 480.
I think it was 483 if I remember correctly, which I can't get to.
No, 551 dry 571 wet.
Okay.
Oh, I lied.
I thought it was 483 was 423.
(32:33):
Hey, I took off the factory exhaust.
So that's like 20 pounds right there.
So my bike is about four pounds.
Which sounds so nice.
Oh, yeah.
I love rubbing it up just to hear them.
The crackles.
Yeah.
I love it.
Oh, yeah.
(32:54):
Okay.
I can't actually bought baffles for mine.
So I could sound a little more quieter.
You want to wake up the neighborhoods.
That what you're doing.
I mean, I pretty much don't have neighbors.
The one over here to the left of me.
There's legit nobody there ever.
(33:17):
And then the ones on the right.
There's plenty of space.
Yeah, there's plenty of space.
So it doesn't bother them.
Now, when I'm holding as down the block, they'll hear me for sure.
Okay.
That's the thing about the four cylinders, because you know, mine is only a two cylinder.
It's there's definitely some.
(33:40):
You can hear the difference.
If I had the Ford's help balance it out on the on its on the cycle.
Here are so much better.
But even with the two, when it goes, it goes.
But what it needs to also get warmed up when it's cool.
When I cold started, it's that initial loudness.
But as I'm taking off, it sounds almost like a lawnmower, which is disgusting because I don't have a Honda.
(34:04):
Once it starts getting into its heat cycle, it sounds so good.
Oh, yeah.
Even for a two cylinder. I love it.
Yeah, I'll be there.
You should be here now.
This is perfect weather to see right now.
It's now it's 48 degrees.
I don't like the cold.
I don't like the cold.
(34:24):
It's not cold.
It's cold enough for me.
You put on a sweater.
Yeah.
What right now is cold.
Especially I was writing to work.
It was 25 degrees.
We're talking about.
You see, I'm not I'm not going to feel that right now.
You know, if my old bones.
If it's 25 degrees plus the wind chill, you're probably riding in like negative something degree weather.
(34:51):
Yeah, I dropped the testicle with the other day.
Oh, it'd be a nice brain, testicles.
It just froze off.
I'm trying to be looking at this.
I mean, I still have mine.
Did you check to make sure?
Yeah, I did.
I checked actually.
So let's say is a combo right now.
(35:12):
So how does that operate?
That I mean, I said that procedure go.
So tell everybody what everybody will proceed.
You got so I got a vasectomy done and yeah, I was trying to get the sound board up, but it does not work.
It does not work in I got a vasectomy done at the most painful part of it all.
(35:40):
Honestly, was the damn injections.
OK, that's just that's just suck when they put local anesthesia.
That was the worst.
So you will wait for it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're totally awake.
Oh, give me you didn't take pictures.
You didn't take pictures or nothing. I did.
(36:02):
I sent it to you guys.
I mean, while they were doing it, he did send a picture, but I put I didn't see the little guys hanging out, you know.
I ordered the potato.
Yeah, no, honestly, that was that was the most painful part of it all.
(36:24):
They I feel like they inject each testicle and then they inject the scrotum.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Yeah, exactly. Exactly what I said.
What exactly what I said.
They put local anesthesia.
Yeah, they they put a lot of it like that on my on my on one side, then on the other side.
(36:49):
And then they're like, OK, this one is going to hurt a little more.
And they go in the middle and then it just.
Oh, my God. You know what? I don't see now when I got mine.
Right. See, look, two out of three of us got vasectomy, so.
And only one of us one out of three are still a man. So.
(37:10):
Anyway, yeah, you know what?
That local anesthesia, you know what? That.
Yes, I remember them doing that same thing and it did. Yeah, that that did hurt because you know what? You are awake.
So, yeah, I took a Valium because they prescribe you a Valium
and they tell you to have it an hour prior.
(37:31):
OK, to your to show up to your procedure.
First of all, I didn't feel anything from the Valium.
I felt fucking perfectly fine. So showing up, I was like a little nervous, you know.
And finally I get into the operating room.
You know, they prepare me and.
(37:52):
The doctor was super nice. He came in, he shakes my hand, he was like, you know, hey, how you doing?
Hey, was his hands warm?
They were actually. OK, good.
So he's like, you know, hey, how you doing? You know, so he he talked through what he was going to do.
And then he was like, OK, you know, you're going to feel some discomfort.
(38:14):
You're going to feel a little pinch. That was more than a little pinch.
Let me tell you, OK, that was not no like little pinch.
That's just a lot. I mean, they could have sprayed that cold spray or something.
What he was doing, he was he would squeeze the syringe and like, I guess, like sprinkle some of the.
(38:36):
What is it? Novocaine, whatever the fuck they use for local anesthesia.
I have no idea. I know they use novocaine for dental work.
I don't know about cutting or.
Well, whatever whatever anesthesia he was using, he would he would like squeeze the syringe
and I would feel it fall on my scrotum. Right.
Like, is this even appropriate?
(38:58):
I don't think it is.
Whatever. You know, so I could feel I could feel him like.
Oh, my God. Stop. You can feel him dripping when you screw them.
Yeah. All right. So anyway, fast forward to the injection that's hurting you.
(39:19):
Once he once he made the injection.
Because I was reading up on it, right.
There's two there's two types of incisions.
There's one with the scalpel and then one without scalpel.
I don't really know the difference is like very, very.
How do you make an incision without a cutting implement?
(39:41):
Right. So let me. So let me ask you this.
What how did they perform the procedure?
Did they because, you know, you can get it snipped and then and they take a piece out
and then they like either burn the ends or so.
So this way, you know, they just don't cut it and just leave it like that because if the pieces of it could reattach,
(40:03):
it could reattach exactly. And then next you know, you got kids, you got kids and you're like, what the hell?
And I and I did read on on some procedures that they do reattach.
But the way that he did it, you know, he he worked on one side first.
So he does the incision. You don't feel anything.
He's like, OK, now you're going to feel some tugging and pulling. OK.
(40:26):
Like, yeah, do what you got to do. I'm already here.
So he puts on a clamp and you feel him like who?
And then you hear the scissors. Yep.
And then he takes the oh, man, what's it called?
The two colorize, is it? OK. Yeah, yeah.
(40:48):
Yeah. As Bernie, he burns, he burns the two ends.
He does something else. You know, you get more burning and then you smell the like
flesh smell of burnt skin. Yeah. Oh, my God.
And, you know, he's doing all kinds of other stuff. I guess he'd like puts it back in.
(41:09):
And then he's like, all right, you know, we're halfway there.
And it's like, fuck, you got to do this again. Yep.
So, you know, he goes so traumatizing. Yeah.
It's it's definitely a lot of tugging and pulling.
You don't feel no pain. You do feel the discomfort. Yes.
Yeah. Right. There's a lot of tugging and pulling.
(41:30):
And then you put it back inside.
You feel anything, you said, remember, like a hot dog down the hallway.
Oh, my God. So, you know, he does the other side.
And after that, you know, he finishes up.
(41:52):
He's like, all right, you know, I'm going to give you some time.
He tells you, you know, what what to do next to take, you know, frozen.
What is it? Like a bag of peas. Yes.
I said, he said, you know, definitely for the weekend, don't do anything,
you know, try to just take it easy, you know, just lay down.
You will feel discomfort.
(42:14):
You can shower for the first 24 hours.
But I didn't get stitch or anything like that.
I think it was just like glue that they put.
And then he said, you know, I'm going to go to the gym.
So he was like, you know, in two or three months, I'm going to,
(42:37):
we're going to need a sample.
Prefer between 20 and 30 ejaculations have to.
Transpired throughout these two or three months.
And then, you know, you.
There's no appointment or anything.
So you just.
You know, you just have to be careful.
(42:59):
Right. Just to make sure that there's no.
Little guys.
If they do find that you still have.
Then, you know.
You have a follow up, but it'll just be another.
Sample.
Yeah.
So if you're not going to be able to do that.
(43:25):
If it's the rare case that you still are shooting little guys, then.
They will have to do the procedure all over again.
That.
That hurt me hearing that.
Just like Gary was saying that there has been instances where.
They do reconnect.
And then.
You know, they're able to.
The guys have built their from, they want to keep the manhood. I don't know.
(43:46):
I don't know.
Everything's still there except for the little guys.
So it's always gonna happen.
Hey, so.
The people need proof.
Once I get cleared, you know, I could shoot up the club.
All day, all night.
You ain't got nothing to worry about.
Here's Gary.
As a witness himself.
(44:07):
There you go.
Twenty.
Twenty.
Two years now.
As old as my son.
It's.
Wow.
Twenty two years.
Twenty.
Yep.
Shooting up the club.
All the time.
With no worries.
No worries whatsoever.
And if somebody was to say.
If my wife was to say, Hey, I'm praying them like.
(44:28):
I better go look at the mailman.
You know what I'm saying?
Because.
You are the mailman.
Not this mailman.
Oh, man.
That's hilarious.
Mm.
Yeah.
So that's a lot of work.
I mean, you guys.
Quite the experience.
I mean, you guys know that.
(44:49):
While we were in Texas, I did try to get the procedure done, but.
You know, it got messed up.
Whatever.
So.
You know, luckily I got it done and I don't regret it.
Honestly.
You know, it does suck.
And then for like.
The weekend. I definitely chilled that into shit.
I watch movies.
Stayed on the couch.
I stayed.
I stayed in the car. I stayed in the car.
(45:12):
And I was like, Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
But you know, I mean, yeah, you still feel the discomfort.
You.
You feel the discomfort.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it feels like somebody kind of kicked you down there.
Right.
You know, I didn't, I didn't get that sensation.
I just felt, I just felt the discomfort.
I felt it more like on my.
On my chest.
(45:39):
Where they were like where I felt the tugging and pulling from.
So you don't have like one side that would hurt more than the other.
Actually one side was a little more swollen than the other one.
Yeah. Okay.
Yeah. Same thing.
And it was, it was, it was definitely very sensitive.
Marbles.
Maybe.
Just for like decoration.
Yeah.
(46:02):
What are they called?
The.
Those balls that you were just.
Ben one.
You're talking about Ben wobbles.
Now when I'm stressed, I just cut myself.
The stress.
The stressful.
Oh God.
(46:24):
Anyways, moving on.
I was in the gym.
I was in the gym for the weekend.
For that rest of the week.
I definitely took it easy.
I didn't, I didn't do shit.
You know,
I was, I was still pretty sensitive down there.
You know,
I was able to shower.
It was just very small little scabbing.
(46:45):
Yeah.
One, one.
No, no.
Today is two weeks actually, since I got the procedure done.
So now I mean, now I walk around.
I'm like, I'm not going to do anything.
I'm going to do it.
I'm going to do it.
I'm going to do it.
I'm going to do it.
You don't even feel the difference anymore.
I don't know.
Everything's there.
I've watched.
That's good.
(47:06):
Yeah.
Be careful.
I've watched myself get stitches a couple of different times and it's,
I can do it.
Yeah.
I could deal with the blood.
I could do all that.
It doesn't bother me.
That story made me hurt.
So, so.
You know what?
It's so.
It's so funny because.
Before they got married and started having children would say the same thing.
(47:27):
Right.
Next thing you know, they're married, have a couple of children or three, four children,
whatever it is.
And then they go get the procedure done.
And then they're like, Hey, they give you, they gave me a call.
And we're like, Hey, guess what I just did.
And I, who knows?
I can't figure it out.
Then they tell me, Oh, I just got a vasectomy.
I was like, Oh, what happened?
(47:48):
I thought you said you'd lost your, you know, I lost my manhood.
I was like, Oh, well, this bullshit talk, you know, and now they got it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But you know, I don't have a couple of kids running around.
I'm not married.
I don't have anything to.
Yeah.
Well, guide me to it.
So, you know what?
I'm going to be happy with my manhood intact instead of having more bullshit gambling in
(48:09):
there.
Can I, can I tell you something?
I don't know.
So, I'm going to have to go make sure that, uh, they were still there.
(48:30):
Oh, look, look, his thing is on mute.
Oh man.
Too funny.
Yeah.
But Gary, come on.
What's going on with the bike?
Did you even start looking to see what you're going to get?
What you're actually I have, and I've been, um, there's a Harley dealership near my house.
And, um, you know, I was, I've been looking at nothing too specific, but something maybe
(48:53):
like a small Harley or something, small bagger that I can start off as my first bike.
Cause I'm not, you, what you should do now is go get a helmet, go get a helmet and gloves,
just go get the gear because of all gloves.
It's on my gloves, the full leather things are thick.
They take time to break in, but a helmet too.
It takes some time to start wearing it.
(49:14):
So I think you should go, at least get a helmet and stuff now.
Okay.
All right.
You know what?
I was just waiting on everything.
You know what?
And then when I was going to go to the course, you know, then it started to get cold and
the winter and I'm doing things around here.
And then your pussy started hurting.
I get it.
So now I'm going to wait for the springtime.
That'll be a good point for me to start.
(49:37):
But it's definitely so good to gear now.
Sorry, breaking it in.
It makes a big difference.
Okay.
Okay.
I'll do that.
I definitely got to get the helmet though.
Yeah.
I recommend gloves.
I mean, I wear full of the gloves, even in the middle of summer when we came back, I
was sweating so damn much.
I wear full gear and I definitely recommend getting the gloves too and breaking them in
(50:01):
now, depending which one you get.
The Alpine swords I have, full leather.
They take a lot to break in.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's good to know.
I agree.
Well, I do want to share some beautiful stats and analytics for this wonderful year that
(50:25):
we successfully have launched with this one would be nine full episodes.
Right.
Plus our mini 3.8 one.
Oh, not to mention our favorite pores, which another one is coming out.
Maybe by the time you see this video.
Yes.
Yeah.
I'm not sure what I'll do next, but we're still waiting for Gary's.
(50:49):
I know.
Just like the bike.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was kind of depressing.
That's actually really good.
(51:11):
I mean, I'm happy.
Yeah.
But it's just how you said it.
Our most with 60 is like, oh, well, that's not a lot.
Yeah.
It makes me happy because people do want to listen to us, but we got to pump them numbers
up.
Yes, definitely.
We got to, which is why I say, you know, share it.
(51:33):
Leave the review this way.
Other people get get a notification and it gets out there, you know, share it with your
friends.
But that was our most listened to episode that we've launched.
So it's good.
Did you ever happen to the drunken episode?
(51:56):
No.
Oh, no, that didn't get released.
That's a backstage conversation.
Okay. All right.
I mean, I think we agreed.
I mean, Nelson definitely agreed not to release that one because it was much.
It was a lot.
It was a lot.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
(52:17):
Yeah.
You definitely didn't agree.
But I said he doesn't love us and answers.
I said we put it up anyway.
Give it to the people.
I'm a beat.
So that.
Oh, my God.
According to this, we have a total of one hundred and ninety two downloads for our podcast.
Okay. Okay.
(52:40):
It's not too bad at all.
Yeah.
I mean, for at least starting this up, you know, and making at least all the sits that
we have made, you know, it's that's not bad.
I don't think so.
I'm pretty I'm pretty impressed, you know, that people actually listen to us to the assets,
you know, I think you asked a very smart.
(53:04):
Thank you.
Me too.
It's sweet to.
Well, damn.
I want to know about all that now.
He's taking a bite.
You know, brings back memories right there.
Yes, it does.
So the army, not the Navy.
(53:25):
Let's move on.
So how many follow?
How many how many people actually following us?
So that one would depend on each platform and how it gets tracked.
Okay.
Okay.
But we do have a top five locations as to where people listen to us.
Of course, you know, United States, we have Belgium.
(53:49):
I don't know who listens to us in Belgium and Brussels.
Shout out to Belgium.
Shout out to Brussels.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Thank you.
We have some, some decent numbers from Brussels.
And then here in the, let's see what else we have.
Canada, of course.
We have Nigeria, Germany.
(54:12):
Okay.
Bulgaria, Malaysia, France.
I was just talking about France.
I had good bread.
And we have two downloads from the Russian Federation.
Hey.
And they're on our renewed vodka.
(54:34):
But, but yeah.
So some of the cities, Ashburn, San Jose, of course, New York,
Milton, which is what Connecticut, St. Louis, the Bronx.
Milton in Florida.
Oh, I'm thinking, what am I thinking?
(54:56):
What's in Connecticut?
Isn't there a M in Connecticut?
Stanford.
Whatever.
San Francisco.
Oh, O'Fallon.
I don't know where O'Fallon is.
Farmingdale.
All right.
Fort Worth, Brooklyn, Hampton Bay.
Mount Sinai.
(55:18):
Yeah.
Brexville.
Corona.
Okay.
La Mesa.
Yeah, we, we definitely, we're, we're, you know.
Yeah, we're, we're definitely reaching.
I mean, listen. I mean, if you give, keep putting out content.
And keep these people interested.
I was, I was listening to a.
(55:40):
To a different podcast, right? And they said.
Content is king.
sound quality is queen. So, you know, I think, I think we're doing good. I think our investment
in our decent mics have definitely paid off, right? Because it is a podcast. Yeah, our
(56:03):
mics, right? Right, Gary?
Yeah, yeah, my mic here. But yeah, I mean, overall, I'm very satisfied with these numbers.
I know at the beginning, I like focused a lot on the numbers, but you know, I let it
(56:23):
be and it's doing good. You know, it's doing really good. A lot, a lot more than I've expected,
honestly.
That's good. That's good. I'm, you know, I saw because of you guys that listen to us
and our shenanigans. Yeah, right. I hope we, I hope we do. How do we entertain the people,
you know? I mean, and it's kind of cool to hear that we've reached so different parts
(56:51):
of the world, actually, you know? Yeah, it's pretty cool. Absolutely. So being in all those
parts of the world, and I said that in honor of our two friends in Russia, we need vodka.
No, no, no, what? Absinthe. We need vodka. Isn't it called vodka? No, we need absinthe.
(57:12):
No, I had Jager, not absinthe. I don't want absinthe, but I had this particular bottle
of vodka. I picked it up in Poland. And I'm pretty sure our wizard will show you the people
what it is. But.
(57:33):
We're editors.
I just had some good.
Yeah, our wizard.
I had some decent Polish vodka. What kind of Polish vodka are you talking about? Because
I had something, it might've been Polish or German, and it had bison grass in it. I forget
the name right now.
It's not like gin. It just gave it a. They use some wild stuff. No, this was vodka, but
(57:55):
it just. Juniper berries?
No, this was not like that. It's called bison grass, but it just gave it this really unique
taste. I've never had anything like it before. I wanted to get the whole bottle, you know?
So, but you know, it must have been that good.
You're going to laugh when you see this vodka that I have. I picked it up specifically because
it just stood out. I don't even think it was expensive, but.
(58:19):
I think it's cool. And I think the people think it's kind of cool too.
Yeah. But again, if you guys could leave a review, we'll definitely greatly, greatly
appreciate it this way. The podcast definitely gets out there and suggested to more people.
(58:40):
That's what I could see from my end as far as analytics. That's all it has.
Big up to all the men out there that might have vasectomies that listen to us, you know?
Hell yeah. There's nothing unmandly of that.
Hell no. Everything works.
There's nothing unmandly.
(59:02):
We walk around life the same way as the guys that have their tubes connected. So everything's
all good.
The only difference is you have two marbles and I have two testicles. So, but there's
nothing against it. Be proud of your marbles.
I'm proud of my marbles.
I'm proud. So next time I got to do it to make sure they're still there.
(59:23):
Oh no, no, no. I could do that too. You want to see?
Anyways, the people don't want to see. I want to see. The people don't.
But yeah, please leave a review. Something that we can...
Leave a review specifically so that Gary can see it and he will answer every single question,
(59:47):
every single comment and any concern you may have.
I'll do that.
Gary will be the one to answer.
I'll do that.
He actually has been the one that answers.
I think I'm the only one that has answered the last few comments.
Because you're the guy.
I'll do it.
You are the comment guy.
I will do it.
It's funny how you answer Instagram DMs, but you don't answer us.
(01:00:09):
Oh, sheesh.
I was going to bring it up, but...
I was going to bring it up.
Hey Gary, is one of your New Year's resolutions to actually answer us when we're chatting
on the group chat?
Yes, it is actually. It actually is.
(01:00:30):
But you know what, thinking about that, is that really Gary's fault?
It's obviously Gary's fault.
But even in person, does Gary ever pay attention to us?
Oh, dang.
When he needs something, he calls us.
Only when he needs something.
(01:00:51):
Only when he needs something.
So can you really blame him this time?
I see what you're saying.
I mean...
I don't.
I don't know what you're talking about.
And that's the point.
You don't even see it.
Nope.
I don't even see it.
It shows how lowly we are.
No.
No.
No.
I haven't...
I see him as a friend.
I get it.
I mean, you've been ignoring me already.
(01:01:12):
Oh, shoot.
Is it already?
Time flies, man.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
I'll be more responsive.
You know, I do read it, but it's like I get to...
Remember, I know where you live.
(01:01:34):
Now, you guys heard it, right?
We'll let you know if he actually keeps his word.
He's not going to.
You guys have no faith in me.
I have all the faith in you, Gary.
All of it.
I do talk about you guys all the time.
(01:01:55):
But you don't talk to us.
That's funny.
I don't talk to you guys.
Gary, you know what I noticed?
I mean, this was totally unplanned, but Lawson has a Minnesota t-shirt, right?
I have my Manhattan little apple t-shirt.
Do you have anything from your deployment and where you went and one of the states that you visit?
(01:02:26):
I think I do.
I got to go get it, though.
No, wait.
No, I don't actually.
So do you or don't you?
I don't.
He doesn't.
So our wizard will have Gary here with a picture of him in a shirt.
Okay.
(01:02:48):
That editor has to work extra hard this time.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, damn.
Editor has to work real hard.
We're going to have to give that editor a damn incentive for Christmas bonus.
We'll give him a tip.
No, just a tip.
(01:03:09):
One or two fingers.
Is that what you want?
One of these.
The big one.
Yeah, okay then.
All right.
Anyway, that's interesting.
So the number when we were in Texas, I got the tank top from Kansas and it was what?
(01:03:35):
Something about low expectations.
It's Kansas.
I don't remember.
But when we had the barbecue that day where my it got in all the grease and it was it was trashed.
I actually got it clean.
Nice.
And it came off.
Yeah.
Well, I didn't shout out to my sister because I'm a man child and I don't know how to do it properly.
(01:04:00):
But it's clean and it looks really nice.
And you said it and it's I just didn't want you so it's literally sitting on my bed right now.
So you mentioned it and it's just there.
Okay.
Nice.
Yeah, nice.
I think Gary also had a Kansas t-shirt.
He didn't go to Kansas with this.
(01:04:21):
I think Gary also had something Kansas related.
Yeah.
The editor will show the people.
Big ups to the editor.
Yeah.
Big ups to the editor.
What's his name, by the way?
Yeah, yeah.
He's an unnamed intern.
Dickhead.
Is that what it is?
These are unpaid intern that we just hired.
(01:04:47):
Yeah, exactly.
We adopted them and we feed them like once a month.
He gets fed based on how many people actually listen to us.
If you want to feed our intern.
Yeah, we'll take any donations for the intern.
(01:05:14):
He works a lot actually, you know, he's the editor.
He's our sound engineer.
Yeah.
He lives the life of an intern, overworked and never paid.
That's a fact.
Word.
Word.
Word.
But yeah, that's all these stats that I have here on this lovely window.
(01:05:37):
And again, you know, thanks to all you guys that actually listen to us and
hopefully we can get into the triple digits one day.
At least triple digits.
One day.
We are in triple digits.
Well, overall total, yes, but not.
Not of one episode.
(01:06:02):
You know what?
We need to make regular content.
We need to talk.
Yeah, no.
We need to be there.
We need Gary to be the poster child.
His face on every billboard.
Yeah.
But not for the most wanted though.
Not around elementary schools either.
No, no.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh.
(01:06:24):
Too much.
Well, you know, we did, we did forget one thing and that's the, our disclaimer.
We're not affiliated with anybody.
Our views are our own.
Hey, you're, you're, you're fucking up.
So I actually.
(01:06:45):
This is out of the fall.
Towards the end.
You know, this way it could be kind of our closing or.
All right.
Kind of like our credits, right?
The credits roll and then.
All right.
Shoot.
Oh, for a good idea, actually, before we get into our.
Disclaimer for a credit.
(01:07:06):
Maybe we can't have some sort of credit at the end.
The people think that's a decent idea.
Some rolling credits, you know, so they can actually figure out who our intern is and.
Just get credit for everything is still maybe list some things, you know.
Oh, like actual rolling credits.
Yeah.
(01:07:27):
Okay.
That sounds.
That sounds interesting.
Okay.
Yeah, it does.
I think, I think our, I think our intern can make it happen.
I think the intern can make it happen.
I have faith.
I have faith in him too.
Did you have something to share Lawson?
(01:07:48):
It was like a specific soundboard that you had that you were going to share.
It's so funny you knew what I was talking about.
That's all I got.
That's all he's got.
Okay.
That's all I got.
You know, I'm talking about.
(01:08:09):
I'm totally banned from ever owning one again.
Me more you have for had recipes.
Now I'm going to.
Recipe says.
Yeah.
Mr. Waddle 10 and I forgot the other one's name.
You see, you should have just cook them.
Yeah, man.
(01:08:30):
I guess I had high hopes that, you know, one day they can grow up to be.
Four chickens and give me, you know, two years worth of eggs and then make them.
Yeah.
You know what?
Yeah.
I don't expect them to live.
This short of a life.
It's a very sad thing.
(01:08:57):
Oh, shout out to airline food.
Airline food.
What?
Yeah.
Did I even serve actual food?
Cause all the flights that I've taken and I've taken plenty of flights this year.
Then I love.
Yeah.
Okay.
Is that what it is?
(01:09:18):
Yeah.
Cause I've only got peanuts or crackers.
Like international flights, for example.
You're going to get two meals usually.
Yeah.
But most domestic flights, even a six hour flight, they're just going to give you peanuts.
Don't worry about it.
Just bring an MRA with you.
You have food.
That's right.
(01:09:39):
That's the spirit.
My stomach hurts just thinking about that.
Meanwhile, I have several in my room.
I can talk about why, but I have several, but my stomach hurts thinking about that.
Speaking of MRAs.
Have you watched the movie that Michelle and Barack Obama directed?
(01:10:00):
No.
I knew they had a movie based on some of the recommendations, not even recommendations,
based on some of the stuff that I do watch.
Somebody made a video talking about the movie.
I didn't watch their video, but the point is that's how I knew they even had a movie.
I don't know what it's about.
(01:10:21):
Let's put that on the list.
What's it called?
Leave the World Behind.
It's called.
It's on Netflix.
They have.
I actually stopped paying for my Netflix.
I'm tired of it.
They keep raising the prices and it's not giving good enough time.
So in my personal opinion, I don't know.
(01:10:42):
Yeah, you're right.
So remember when I said earlier about the let's have four episodes.
Okay, we'll do it live.
I always wanted to do a blooper trailer or blooper and trailer.
(01:11:04):
I always wanted to do a blooper trailer or blooper and to this.
So maybe I can maybe I'll edit it off to get that out.
But Netflix there was this Castlevania.
It came out.
(01:11:26):
I definitely think you should do your magic real quick though.
But Netflix with Castlevania, they made their new animated series.
We're not even new at this point.
Came up a couple years ago where the first season was literally only four episodes.
I think it was and it was it was so good.
All right. Sorry about that.
Oh, not as sorry as you're going to be.
(01:11:48):
I had to take a pee break.
Thanks.
I think the first season was I believe it was four episodes.
Maybe it could have been The Witcher 2.
I forget.
But I know they've been cutting the season short.
I guess maybe to see if there's any interest in the actual show before they fully convinced everything.
I do know Castlevania.
It was a very, very good show.
(01:12:09):
In fact, I put the boss onto it down to Texas and he like finished it within a week.
He was saying I wouldn't sleep watching the show Castlevania.
But yeah.
On what?
Netflix.
Netflix. OK.
But I don't I honestly don't think there's enough content to keep my subscription on there.
(01:12:32):
There's nothing interesting enough.
Yeah. Fair enough.
I found I've been finding a few interesting things on there lately.
Just know what I've been into.
Korean movies, man.
I've been watching like all these Korean flicks.
I'm like really into that shit.
(01:12:55):
OK.
Just saying.
I have.
I will not judge you.
Just slightly.
Castlevania.
There's something wrong with them.
It's on Netflix.
I.
I came out roughly.
(01:13:19):
21.
My guys.
It was another Castlevania 2023.
That's where you are.
What?
Huh?
Or in the script.
We're having technical difficulties.
No, no, no.
I think I'm fine here.
Oh, good.
We can't see you.
Why can't you see me?
(01:13:41):
You see a camera though?
No, it isn't.
This is what happens with Apple products.
He is actually on a PC, so it is definitely not.
Yeah.
I don't know what's going on.
Maybe.
Am I back?
No.
Yeah.
I am back, right?
Maybe my phone did something.
(01:14:02):
Oh, you're not back on my screen, but it's OK.
As long as I were.
I can see you.
I can see you.
Now you're frozen, Gary.
I'm frozen now.
Wow.
I don't know what's going on here.
Yeah.
Well, being that we are having technical difficulties,
(01:14:26):
Let's call it a wrap.
Shall we roll the disclaimer?
Yes, roll the disclaimer.
We should definitely roll the disclaimer.
All right.

And our guest, Lawson.
(01:15:10):
And I did have the clapping, but my soundboard is not working.
You can't do that with your camera turned off, Gary.
Anyway, guys.
I don't know why my camera is off.
Actually, I do not know why.
We heard the clapping.
(01:15:32):
You're back now.
I'm back now?
How's that sound?
Not for me, but that's okay.
The clapping.
I can see you.
Thank you, bro.
I can see you.
I can see all of you, actually.
All of you.
There's only two of us.
Yeah.
Well, there's you and the guest.
I'm the guest.
(01:15:53):
Yeah.
Well.
All right, guys.
It's been a gas.
Whatever that means.
No, gas is what you smoke.
Gas is what he passes.
Gas is what you spill in your car when you're trying to work on it.
(01:16:16):
When you leave the fuel pump.
Yeah, connected.
The fuel line disconnected.
I did have throttle body cleaner, which I think is still here.
Maybe it's downstairs.
I doused almost a whole side of the engine just to try and dilute all that gasoline, man.
(01:16:38):
That was pretty bad.
You live and learn.
Really?
You okay?
Yeah, I'm having a good time.
Well, that's it.
I had a good time.

The podcast at the reserve for.com.
Links down below.
I see.
All right.
We kept it warm.
Come on.
Okay.
Let's speak.
I'm not a dog.
(01:18:31):
I can be, but that's for the backstage.
But that's the show.
That's the show.
which
(00:24):
Gary.
I'm awesome.
Welcome to our show.
And this is how we're we're starting off the show.
With a bang.
With a bang. Yeah.
This is maybe considered our season finale, right?
For this year.
(00:45):
Definitely for this year.
You know, if we were going to do a season finale, we should have stopped at like sip number four or five, you know.
Make it like a TV show.
Four episodes? What TV shows do you want?
They've been doing that.
I don't want to talk about it. It's suppressing.
(01:07):
Alright.
What are you guys drinking?
Glad you asked.
Oh.
Bourbon.
Nice.
I'm drinking a East Coast Hazy IPA.
East Coast IPA.
(01:29):
A hazy? How is it? Is it good?
It's a little bitter, but it's okay.
So it tastes like beer?
No, it doesn't taste like beer. No.
Not beer.
Not beer. No. No. It's actually...
You got another one?
It's a hazy.
You got another one?
Not too bad. I have my, you know, famous michelada.
(01:55):
Yeah.
Mexican Bloody Mary.
Yeah. I know.
You know it.
So, what has everybody been up to?
I don't want to talk about it.
Not after what you said backstage.
(02:19):
Oh yeah.
I can't talk about that.
But besides the backstage stuff, I figured out how to take apart the Jeep in a lot more ways than I planned on.
Okay.
This is simple, huh?
So, remember the oil change after McDonald's Texas told you it was running funny?
(02:45):
Okay.
So I started getting a check engine light. It was a misfire cylinder four. So I was like, I got tired of it popping up.
So I said, you know what? Let me take it apart. Let me just see what it could be.
Right.
Researched it. Common issues where a spark plug or wiring or just common related things.
So I said, you know what? Spark plug is the easiest bit. Let me just change up the spark plug.
(03:06):
Mind you, I bought brand new everything at like 50,000 miles. So they have less than 10,000 miles on them.
I thought nothing of it. Let me just change it.
Right.
And did that. The whole car went haywire.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
What? Just change the spark plugs?
Turns out my fuel injector was bad.
Oh shit. Okay.
(03:27):
Oh damn.
But yeah, I changed the spark plug and while I was there, I just changed the coil pack because it was like 40 bucks more from there.
I might as well change it.
So I did hold that and then the fuel injector did not like it.
So I had to pull that apart too. And that was, that was not fun.
(03:48):
But you got it done, right?
Spilled about a half gallon of gas, but yeah, I got it done.
I forgot because whenever I'm working on the car, I leave the windows down, but I had to go to the store twice.
So I got on the bike and went, but as I'm coming back, I roll my windows back down.
So you turn the key, not turn it over, but you put accessory, put the windows down.
(04:13):
That primes the fuel pump. So it was just shooting gas and I completely forgot about it.
Oh shit. Nailed it.
That was fun.
That sounds fun.
So I do have a pretty big announcement, right?
Here we go.
(04:36):
I'm moving to Arkansas.
Arkansas.
Arkansas.
Arkansas.
Really?
It's crazy, right?
Yeah.
But this time for a much longer bid.
You want to go?
Yeah.
It's a three year, what would they call it?
(05:00):
A bid.
He didn't do nothing.
Yeah.
Now that's the teachers are going to come out, you know, free my boy.
Hey, Zeus.
So what are you doing?
I got picked up for AGR.
So, which is our active guard reserve, pretty much full-timer as a reservist.
(05:28):
So you're active duty.
Essentially, yes.
So what type of unit are you going to?
It's a, what is it? ICTC. Inland cargo transportation.
What the hell is that?
I'm not sure. I'm definitely going to find out pretty soon though.
(05:54):
They've even made the news a couple of years back.
They do the transport between rail and air.
I think it is.
You're going to be a shitty AGR.
(06:17):
Already, right?
I'll take the job. I don't know what it is.
That's the army. They teach you how to do it. And that's it.
Luckily for me, the guy that I'm replacing, he's not leaving until March.
So I'll have some time to shadow him and really pick his brain and all of that.
(06:44):
Which is great.
I'm looking forward to it. It's definitely a change in scenery, change of pace.
It's not under STDC.
So let me ask you. Your time that you have in the reserves, how does that, does that transfer over to now you being active?
(07:06):
Or some of it, or how does that work?
I believe it stays with the point system. So whatever my points are is whatever I can retire with.
Obviously, this is going to boost up my numbers because now I'll be considered active duty.
(07:28):
So therefore, it'll be one day for one day sort of thing.
So my points are definitely going to go up, which means a better retirement for me.
Yeah, definitely.
My points are pretty good now.
So going on this three year tour is definitely going to help boost up those numbers.
Crazy.
(07:50):
Is it only going to be three years?
I mean, usually they're three years. Sometimes they do extend for a little bit longer.
But then you change.
Yeah, you got a PCS.
Right, and then you PCS to wherever they need you. If you choose to go.
Are you going to choose to stay in? Are you going to choose to?
I think I'm still pretty able, so I think I'm going to try to ride it out as much as I can.
(08:18):
Can you try to do it 20 years? I mean, you're still young.
Youngish?
He's a spring chicken.
Speaking of chickens.
Yeah, he even laid an egg.
Yeah, I don't have the egg anymore, but my chickens laid their first egg today.
(08:40):
So it's a pretty big deal.
Well, you know, you had a chicken lay its first egg today.
A chicken lay an egg, yes.
Why not a B chicken?
A chicken.
A chicken. Tomorrow, hopefully, is B chicken.
(09:01):
Okay.
All right.
But now, with that being said, I am down to two chickens out of four chickens.
Wow.
So another one bites the dust.
Another one bites the dust.
Yeah, this time I did find the remains of what was left of the poor little chicken.
(09:25):
Did you cook it?
No.
It was a shit ton of feathers and whatever was left of the body.
Take a look at my cut it up here.
The kids don't got to know.
Oh, they saw it. They were like, oh, poor Waddleton. RIP.
His name was Waddleton.
(09:47):
Waddleton, yeah.
Like a chicken. Waddle, waddle.
Like a what?
Waddle, waddle.
So now you got to go get some more chickens.
So I've been doing a lot of research, and my first step is going to be to get a rooster, right?
(10:08):
Because one, the rooster keeps the flock in check, and before I get new chicks.
It's actually pretty cold over here.
This is like in the 40s during the day, it goes up to like mid 50s, low 60s.
It must be nice.
(10:29):
It's actually pretty cold out here in Florida.
It's 40 degrees.
I wish.
Listen, this morning I took out the dog at like 4 a.m. and all the grass was nice and frosty.
So it's quite chilly down here.
Right.
Come back to New York.
(10:51):
No, thank you.
You can keep that.
Sure about that.
You sure about that?
Yeah, I'm definitely sure about that.
You could keep that.
So back to the chicken, or the rooster, sorry.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know another cock?
Yes.
Yeah, he wants another cock.
A big one this time.
(11:14):
So they protect the flock and they maintain like rule, you know.
So my sister-in-law, she has, yeah, she has, she bought a set of four chickens, right?
And then a few months later, she bought, I believe, another set of four chickens.
But the big ones bully the little ones.
(11:37):
Now, if you have a rooster, he'll make sure that that doesn't happen.
So I was hesitant to buy more chickens because now I was like, okay, well, I don't want the big chickens picking on the little chicks, you know,
and then like, then going over the whole same thing of losing more chickens.
Oh my God.
Or put the younger chickens in counseling because they're being bullied.
(12:02):
I'm going to need a mediator.
That's not why they're going to go to counseling.
So I'm going to get a rooster first and then I'm going to get, you know, chicks this way.
He can manage them and protect the flock and, you know, make sure that they're good.
Everybody's good and happy.
Okay.
(12:23):
Nice.
It's a lot, man.
I mean, it's, it's, it's, it's pretty.
You didn't think it was going to be this difficult, huh?
No, I definitely didn't.
You're going to buy some chicks and they're just going to be waddling around the place laying eggs.
Exactly.
Yeah.
But there's a lot.
There's definitely a lot involved to it.
I actually bought a couple of steaks.
(12:44):
They're plastic steaks, but I made like a little fence area.
It's much bigger.
So they're able to just roam around.
They do fly over.
I thought you meant like an actual steak and I was confused.
Oh, like ground steaks.
Yeah.
See that makes sense.
But you said you can put a plastic steak.
I was trying to picture.
Why would you need a plastic steak?
(13:05):
Yeah.
So it's definitely you.
There's a lot to be involved with chickens.
You know, a lot more than I knew and thought I knew.
Hey, you know how much work a horse is going to be when you get one?
(13:28):
Yeah.
Oh, I'm pretty sure it's definitely.
I was talking about that to one of my buddies the other day.
I was like, like, what's the point of a horse?
It's just honestly, it's just an expensive luxury.
You know, very much.
Yeah.
I have, I have four horse.
Like, what are you doing with it?
Like, no, nothing.
I watch it graze and walk around.
(13:49):
You can ride the horse.
You can ride the horse.
Yeah.
I like the horse.
And I have to make probably two different lots so it doesn't overgraze, you know?
Yeah.
That's, yeah.
Well, I'm not saying that.
That's inappropriate.
I'm not, I'm not going to say it.
Okay.
What are you going to say?
(14:10):
You know what else a horse is good for?
Horse is a horse, of course, of course, what?
Of course, my horse.
Whatever you do with the horse, Gary, that's your business.
Oh boy.
So that's, that's my, that's my update.
(14:32):
All right.
So Gary.
Actually, I've been actually getting ready for my new job that's starting actually next week.
So I've been pretty busy with that, trying to, you know, take over these old post offices that I'll be representing.
(14:53):
So the old officers are taking me around to their offices introducing me to everybody that in the office, all the letter carries and stuff like that.
So I have like 17 offices.
So I just wrapped that up this morning.
So as of Tuesday, I will be quite a few post offices, full time officer for the letter carriers.
(15:20):
So, and January 1st, I've also been promoted out of the unit to another unit.
So I won't be seeing anyone anymore.
So I'm going to get to drive the bus.
So we're going to get to drive the bus and be banned from around elementary schools.
(15:42):
Aren't you going to drive a training, right?
Take advantage of that.
I'll pass.
I will pass.
Yes, I'm starting off the new year with a new job, new unit being promoted and, you know, take it from there.
I got my new year, new you, huh?
Yeah, I'm trying.
(16:03):
Yeah, exactly.
So let's see how the I got five years before I retire.
I'm eligible to retire.
And right now, that's all I'm looking at.
Five years.
Five.
You got a day past 26 plus like minus maybe 25, 30 years.
Who's telling me that?
So, you know, you look good.
Yeah.
Hey, I appreciate it.
(16:24):
Thank you.
I mean, I've been working since the womb.
So, you know, it's clocking in on that.
I'm not going to touch that.
I'm not going to touch that.
Yeah.
I'm not going to touch that.
Don't worry about it.
Now, so I've been with I've really been busy with that, you know, taking care of that and I had to buy a whole new fucking wardrobe, man.
Like, because now I got to walk around looking businesslike, you know, I had to buy a suit, a couple of suits.
(16:49):
Oh, dang, you got a slacks.
Slacks, shirts and ties and I got a little bit of a not a briefcase, but one of these like messenger bags.
He got a briefcase.
He got a briefcase.
What?
I have a briefcase.
But I did buy sexy socks, so like you, so I can pose my socks.
(17:10):
That's what I was going to say.
Yeah, yeah.
I did.
I got like three packs of these socks.
I'm like, you know what?
And one of them is Fast and Furious.
So I'm going to be rocking this.
There you go.
Now, you got to post it and you got to tag us.
I am going to do it.
That's the reason why I bought them.
I saw them.
I was like, you know what?
I'm going to post these to your server, motherfucker.
(17:33):
That means now I have to start looking for some interesting socks.
Yeah.
And my socks are going to be very boring because they're only going to be green or black.
Yeah, it's true.
See, that means I don't have to do it anymore.
That's right.
That's true.
Yeah.
Because I'm going to be in uniform Monday through Friday.
You know what?
Here's the deal, right?
(17:55):
Yeah.
There's nothing in the regulation that says you can't wear different socks underneath
your socks.
So just wear them underneath my socks?
Yeah.
No one's going to know.
True.
And according to regs, it'll be in regs because if you see my socks, you'll see the green
(18:19):
or black.
But guess what?
You'll be the only one to know that you're wearing them.
And you guys, everybody will be able to know.
But you know what?
Even if you wear your panties, no one will know.
Which ones?
The lace ones?
The ones you like?
Yes, the lace ones.
(18:40):
I like the lace ones.
Oh, okay.
So the lace ones.
That was a nice update.
So Lawson.
Yes, Lawson.
How about you?
How about your panties?
I don't wear panties.
Oh, you go commando.
(19:02):
I like that.
Oh, good.
Easy access.
Less laundry.
Yes, good point.
It's not a good point.
You do the same.
Shitty pants, though.
Shitty pants.
How many do you have, sir?
They do say shit happens, so I guess it is.
(19:27):
Yeah.
Do you see who's...
Does this guy have no time on his hands but post on Instagram all the time?
With a little guy.
Yeah, a little guy.
Like, Jesus, I wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning, he's posting shit.
(19:49):
I was like, go to sleep, man.
Get a job.
When is he leaving?
Oh, that's a good point.
He's leaving.
Literally, everybody left.
I'm the only one left at the unit.
What a loser.
You're with mom and dad.
Oh, the family's back together.
Back together.
And now you won't have bad influence Martinez to influence you.
(20:13):
For real.
No, bad influence Martinez gets me fat.
Oh.
225.
Can you see it?
Look, remember, big snakes hide under big rocks.
Wait, what did 225 just say?
Yeah.
Is it muscle?
(20:34):
Have you been...
I have a big muscle.
The holidays.
The holidays really kind of fuck things up a little bit.
A little bit.
Yeah.
I was, I mean, I started going back to the gym with one of my friends because he wanted
to go.
He wanted the motivation, you know, with somebody there to help him.
So I started going with him.
But excuse me, the holidays, it got in the way of that because, you know, he, he's not
(21:00):
really close with his family.
So, you know, he was just, they had overtime available.
He would go work overtime.
So I'm not going to work overtime.
And that means I have extra time to sit at home and eat good food.
So I stay home and eat good food.
There you go.
That's what happens.
But that's really the only way it messed up.
I do feel like I'm going to be a little bit of a loser.
(21:21):
That's the only way it messed up.
I do try to stay active.
Even if I'm at home, I have equipment.
I can do stuff at home.
So I've been doing pretty good.
And it shows I lost 25, 30 pounds, basically.
That's fucking good, man.
Nice.
I'm leaving Texas.
So I think I'm doing pretty good.
(21:43):
Hell yeah.
That's really good.
So what's your...
Gary was my motivation.
See that?
That's a hole.
And no more tacos for lunch every day.
Tacos for lunch every fucking day.
Every fucking day.
You know...
Because you're Mexican, you want tacos.
I find a very good spot.
(22:05):
So every time that I'm running around errands on my days off,
I definitely get that for lunch.
I come home with $68 worth of Mexican food.
I get a whole bunch of...
Yeah.
Is that good?
Because I get for lunch, then I get for dinner,
(22:26):
and then I get some stuff for breakfast.
Midnight dinner.
Oh.
So what does your family eat?
You just sit there and eat this food from them?
Yeah.
I just tease them with my food.
I'm eating better than you, loser.
(22:50):
You know what?
What?
That is one of the things about New York,
is we have all these food options, right?
I don't eat out.
You don't eat out?
I don't.
You're cooking?
It's so disappointing.
Like, I had Spanish food today because...
We always talk about backstage, you know?
(23:11):
So I got food, and it was so mid,
and I was disappointed in that.
But that's got me thinking,
I really don't eat out almost at all.
Except there's one local pizzeria we go to,
maybe twice a month if that will get pizza.
Yeah.
But we don't eat out.
I cook everything.
(23:32):
That's good.
Or I don't eat.
It's so disappointing that I know there are...
There's a couple good Mexican spots out there, or Spanish, excuse me,
Spanish spots out here by me.
Some that I used to go to frequently,
but I don't even eat them anymore.
So sad.
I mean, you're cooking for yourself, you're saving money, so...
(23:55):
Where?
You're saying.
Food is expensive.
I just spent like $2.50 the other day at the store,
and I wasn't even getting a lot.
Dude, it's fucking crazy how much you spend at a grocery store.
Yeah, I mean, I did pick up a BJ's card.
(24:16):
I think I said that last time.
And the BJ's, I have a couple in my general area,
like there's one literally five minutes down the road from me.
So I love going there.
But I go there because you get spoke items
for a little bit better price than in a regular store.
So going there, I'm still spending $300, $400 almost every time.
(24:39):
But it'll last three to five weeks, depending what I get.
Yeah, there's very specific items that I pick up in BJ's too.
Yeah, you have BJ's right there.
But you also have Walmart, which is good too.
Because Walmart, they have a lot of stuff at a good price.
For me, the Walmart is way out there.
(25:03):
Which is doable.
No, the one guy in the green acres.
Oh, okay. Yeah.
Right outside the city limit.
Yeah.
So I haven't gone to Anahua actually because it's in Ratchet.
Your favorite.
No, that's the little guy's favorite.
(25:24):
Yeah. Sure is.
So what are you guys doing for New Year's?
Anything that's planned?
Work.
You're working?
I work for Christmas too.
You're working New Year's Eve.
(25:46):
And day.
That sucks.
I worked Tuesday and Wednesday.
And then I went to New Year's Eve.
And I had my vacations since what the 20, no, the 10th.
I think it was 10, 11th, whatever.
(26:07):
I had two weeks off.
And then I just went this week.
Tuesday, Wednesday.
And then I'm off all the way up until next week, Tuesday,
after the new year.
And then.
I have to start packing up and getting all my U-Haul stuff.
I'm going to be up there the 12th.
(26:29):
Hopefully.
Arkansas?
Arkansas, yeah.
You found a place?
I was going to ask that when you start.
I start at 15.
Also, you want to get there early and get yourself settled in.
Yeah.
Hopefully I hear back.
I mean, now with the new year, I'll probably hear back maybe Tuesday,
Tuesday, Wednesday from the apartment.
(26:52):
I found a nice little house, two bedrooms, one bath.
It does have a garage, which is perfect.
This way I could take my bike.
But it's, it's 850 a month, which is nothing.
That's nothing.
And the incentive, the biggest incentive is only six minutes away from the
(27:14):
unit.
So you can walk.
Sure.
You could stumble.
You said 850?
850 for two, two bedrooms, one bath, house.
What part of Arkansas?
Jonesboro, right where the home of Arkansas State University.
(27:37):
So it's a small little town.
It's mostly like a college town because.
Memphis is a little bit of Tennessee, but it's like maybe an hour out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's not too far.
Arkansas.
Yeah.
It looks like it's going to be maybe your eight to 10 hour drive for you.
No, it's less.
(27:58):
Maybe eight hours.
So let me ask you this.
You're going by yourself, right?
Or you.
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
The kids are in the middle of school year, so I'm not going to take them out mid
school year, you know?
Okay.
So what happens when school is out?
Are you like.
I mean that listen to what you're renting now is too small.
(28:19):
So yeah, of course, you're just going to keep.
I found out.
I found out actually a couple of homes for like 80.
Like low 100s, maybe like 150.
Really nice, decent shape, you know, so the option is there in the event that
they do want to come out and stay with me.
(28:40):
But we'll see, you know, they have a lot going on here.
You know, Silas is in his baseball.
Skylar is doing her own thing, you know, so do I want to get them out of,
you know, what they have already established?
Not necessarily, you know, but we'll see.
We'll see.
Definitely not.
Yeah.
The options are there, but definitely not this year.
(29:03):
You know, it's only what seven hours, seven and change hours away from here.
That's not bad.
You go home every weekend.
Right.
And that's my plan to be spend time with the kids on the weekends, come home,
you know, take the drive.
It's 450, I think 450 miles.
OK, I just saw it on the map and it was like right above where we were.
(29:28):
Yeah.
In Texas.
So that's why I gave like eight hours.
OK, so are you going to get back and forth?
You're going to take the bike or I'm going to take my my little Jetta.
So I did get fixed.
Oh, yeah, really good.
Really good.
So right before I leave, I do want to check the brakes, make sure that,
you know, it has brand new brakes, rotors, all of that.
(29:52):
I might do an oil change.
My plan is to get a U-hoe, load up all my stuff and trailer the car.
This way I don't put miles on the car.
Plus it is a PCS.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's probably easy.
It is a PCS move.
So they they will pay have to submit the voucher, but they'll pay for the
the transport, you know.
(30:14):
Oh, that's not bad at all.
Yeah.
So what kind of VA?
I recommend is getting a big truck.
To what?
I recommend getting a bigger truck, not the 10 foot truck, because the Jetta
is going to weigh almost as much as that truck.
That's just basically the condo line van.
And those don't weigh that much.
It's all hollowed out.
So I recommend getting maybe a 15 foot truck they have just so that you have
(30:38):
actual weight when you're pulling the car and it doesn't pull you around.
I see what you're saying.
Also, if you put your bike in the car.
Because I don't I don't have a lot of a lot of stuff.
They could put his motorcycle in the back of the.
Yeah, yeah.
Extra 500 pounds.
No, yours is heavy, like seven, 800 pounds.
No, it's I think it's like 500, what?
(31:00):
550 maybe.
Oh, shit.
My bike is 500 what?
I'll look it up real quick.
Gary, how much is your bike weight?
Oh, shit.
Let me see soaking wet.
It's about 700 pounds.
I'm actually the bike.
(31:24):
With all seriousness, I am waiting for the springtime.
I honestly am.
I've heard that before.
No, not for me.
Yeah, haven't we all?
Not for me.
I mean there was a whole episode dedicated to him getting the bike.
There was a whole episode.
I will.
(31:45):
In fact, you even got the approval was what made it a miracle.
He's not going to capitalize on it.
Yes, sir.
Yeah, see, 550.
I maybe this is dry 550, but maybe 600.
What?
Yeah, maybe because your bike is so low, it felt much heavier.
(32:09):
Yeah, my bike is what I think like 480.
I think it was 483 if I remember correctly, which I can't get to.
No, 551 dry 571 wet.
Okay.
Oh, I lied.
I thought it was 483 was 423.
(32:33):
Hey, I took off the factory exhaust.
So that's like 20 pounds right there.
So my bike is about four pounds.
Which sounds so nice.
Oh, yeah.
I love rubbing it up just to hear them.
The crackles.
Yeah.
I love it.
Oh, yeah.
(32:54):
Okay.
I can't actually bought baffles for mine.
So I could sound a little more quieter.
You want to wake up the neighborhoods.
That what you're doing.
I mean, I pretty much don't have neighbors.
The one over here to the left of me.
There's legit nobody there ever.
(33:17):
And then the ones on the right.
There's plenty of space.
Yeah, there's plenty of space.
So it doesn't bother them.
Now, when I'm holding as down the block, they'll hear me for sure.
Okay.
That's the thing about the four cylinders, because you know, mine is only a two cylinder.
It's there's definitely some.
(33:40):
You can hear the difference.
If I had the Ford's help balance it out on the on its on the cycle.
Here are so much better.
But even with the two, when it goes, it goes.
But what it needs to also get warmed up when it's cool.
When I cold started, it's that initial loudness.
But as I'm taking off, it sounds almost like a lawnmower, which is disgusting because I don't have a Honda.
(34:04):
Once it starts getting into its heat cycle, it sounds so good.
Oh, yeah.
Even for a two cylinder. I love it.
Yeah, I'll be there.
You should be here now.
This is perfect weather to see right now.
It's now it's 48 degrees.
I don't like the cold.
I don't like the cold.
(34:24):
It's not cold.
It's cold enough for me.
You put on a sweater.
Yeah.
What right now is cold.
Especially I was writing to work.
It was 25 degrees.
We're talking about.
You see, I'm not I'm not going to feel that right now.
You know, if my old bones.
If it's 25 degrees plus the wind chill, you're probably riding in like negative something degree weather.
(34:51):
Yeah, I dropped the testicle with the other day.
Oh, it'd be a nice brain, testicles.
It just froze off.
I'm trying to be looking at this.
I mean, I still have mine.
Did you check to make sure?
Yeah, I did.
I checked actually.
So let's say is a combo right now.
(35:12):
So how does that operate?
That I mean, I said that procedure go.
So tell everybody what everybody will proceed.
You got so I got a vasectomy done and yeah, I was trying to get the sound board up, but it does not work.
It does not work in I got a vasectomy done at the most painful part of it all.
(35:40):
Honestly, was the damn injections.
OK, that's just that's just suck when they put local anesthesia.
That was the worst.
So you will wait for it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're totally awake.
Oh, give me you didn't take pictures.
You didn't take pictures or nothing. I did.
(36:02):
I sent it to you guys.
I mean, while they were doing it, he did send a picture, but I put I didn't see the little guys hanging out, you know.
I ordered the potato.
Yeah, no, honestly, that was that was the most painful part of it all.
(36:24):
They I feel like they inject each testicle and then they inject the scrotum.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Yeah, exactly. Exactly what I said.
What exactly what I said.
They put local anesthesia.
Yeah, they they put a lot of it like that on my on my on one side, then on the other side.
(36:49):
And then they're like, OK, this one is going to hurt a little more.
And they go in the middle and then it just.
Oh, my God. You know what? I don't see now when I got mine.
Right. See, look, two out of three of us got vasectomy, so.
And only one of us one out of three are still a man. So.
(37:10):
Anyway, yeah, you know what?
That local anesthesia, you know what? That.
Yes, I remember them doing that same thing and it did. Yeah, that that did hurt because you know what? You are awake.
So, yeah, I took a Valium because they prescribe you a Valium
and they tell you to have it an hour prior.
(37:31):
OK, to your to show up to your procedure.
First of all, I didn't feel anything from the Valium.
I felt fucking perfectly fine. So showing up, I was like a little nervous, you know.
And finally I get into the operating room.
You know, they prepare me and.
(37:52):
The doctor was super nice. He came in, he shakes my hand, he was like, you know, hey, how you doing?
Hey, was his hands warm?
They were actually. OK, good.
So he's like, you know, hey, how you doing? You know, so he he talked through what he was going to do.
And then he was like, OK, you know, you're going to feel some discomfort.
(38:14):
You're going to feel a little pinch. That was more than a little pinch.
Let me tell you, OK, that was not no like little pinch.
That's just a lot. I mean, they could have sprayed that cold spray or something.
What he was doing, he was he would squeeze the syringe and like, I guess, like sprinkle some of the.
(38:36):
What is it? Novocaine, whatever the fuck they use for local anesthesia.
I have no idea. I know they use novocaine for dental work.
I don't know about cutting or.
Well, whatever whatever anesthesia he was using, he would he would like squeeze the syringe
and I would feel it fall on my scrotum. Right.
Like, is this even appropriate?
(38:58):
I don't think it is.
Whatever. You know, so I could feel I could feel him like.
Oh, my God. Stop. You can feel him dripping when you screw them.
Yeah. All right. So anyway, fast forward to the injection that's hurting you.
(39:19):
Once he once he made the injection.
Because I was reading up on it, right.
There's two there's two types of incisions.
There's one with the scalpel and then one without scalpel.
I don't really know the difference is like very, very.
How do you make an incision without a cutting implement?
(39:41):
Right. So let me. So let me ask you this.
What how did they perform the procedure?
Did they because, you know, you can get it snipped and then and they take a piece out
and then they like either burn the ends or so.
So this way, you know, they just don't cut it and just leave it like that because if the pieces of it could reattach,
(40:03):
it could reattach exactly. And then next you know, you got kids, you got kids and you're like, what the hell?
And I and I did read on on some procedures that they do reattach.
But the way that he did it, you know, he he worked on one side first.
So he does the incision. You don't feel anything.
He's like, OK, now you're going to feel some tugging and pulling. OK.
(40:26):
Like, yeah, do what you got to do. I'm already here.
So he puts on a clamp and you feel him like who?
And then you hear the scissors. Yep.
And then he takes the oh, man, what's it called?
The two colorize, is it? OK. Yeah, yeah.
(40:48):
Yeah. As Bernie, he burns, he burns the two ends.
He does something else. You know, you get more burning and then you smell the like
flesh smell of burnt skin. Yeah. Oh, my God.
And, you know, he's doing all kinds of other stuff. I guess he'd like puts it back in.
(41:09):
And then he's like, all right, you know, we're halfway there.
And it's like, fuck, you got to do this again. Yep.
So, you know, he goes so traumatizing. Yeah.
It's it's definitely a lot of tugging and pulling.
You don't feel no pain. You do feel the discomfort. Yes.
Yeah. Right. There's a lot of tugging and pulling.
(41:30):
And then you put it back inside.
You feel anything, you said, remember, like a hot dog down the hallway.
Oh, my God. So, you know, he does the other side.
And after that, you know, he finishes up.
(41:52):
He's like, all right, you know, I'm going to give you some time.
He tells you, you know, what what to do next to take, you know, frozen.
What is it? Like a bag of peas. Yes.
I said, he said, you know, definitely for the weekend, don't do anything,
you know, try to just take it easy, you know, just lay down.
You will feel discomfort.
(42:14):
You can shower for the first 24 hours.
But I didn't get stitch or anything like that.
I think it was just like glue that they put.
And then he said, you know, I'm going to go to the gym.
So he was like, you know, in two or three months, I'm going to,
(42:37):
we're going to need a sample.
Prefer between 20 and 30 ejaculations have to.
Transpired throughout these two or three months.
And then, you know, you.
There's no appointment or anything.
So you just.
You know, you just have to be careful.
(42:59):
Right. Just to make sure that there's no.
Little guys.
If they do find that you still have.
Then, you know.
You have a follow up, but it'll just be another.
Sample.
Yeah.
So if you're not going to be able to do that.
(43:25):
If it's the rare case that you still are shooting little guys, then.
They will have to do the procedure all over again.
That.
That hurt me hearing that.
Just like Gary was saying that there has been instances where.
They do reconnect.
And then.
You know, they're able to.
The guys have built their from, they want to keep the manhood. I don't know.
(43:46):
I don't know.
Everything's still there except for the little guys.
So it's always gonna happen.
Hey, so.
The people need proof.
Once I get cleared, you know, I could shoot up the club.
All day, all night.
You ain't got nothing to worry about.
Here's Gary.
As a witness himself.
(44:07):
There you go.
Twenty.
Twenty.
Two years now.
As old as my son.
It's.
Wow.
Twenty two years.
Twenty.
Yep.
Shooting up the club.
All the time.
With no worries.
No worries whatsoever.
And if somebody was to say.
If my wife was to say, Hey, I'm praying them like.
(44:28):
I better go look at the mailman.
You know what I'm saying?
Because.
You are the mailman.
Not this mailman.
Oh, man.
That's hilarious.
Mm.
Yeah.
So that's a lot of work.
I mean, you guys.
Quite the experience.
I mean, you guys know that.
(44:49):
While we were in Texas, I did try to get the procedure done, but.
You know, it got messed up.
Whatever.
So.
You know, luckily I got it done and I don't regret it.
Honestly.
You know, it does suck.
And then for like.
The weekend. I definitely chilled that into shit.
I watch movies.
Stayed on the couch.
I stayed.
I stayed in the car. I stayed in the car.
(45:12):
And I was like, Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
But you know, I mean, yeah, you still feel the discomfort.
You.
You feel the discomfort.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it feels like somebody kind of kicked you down there.
Right.
You know, I didn't, I didn't get that sensation.
I just felt, I just felt the discomfort.
I felt it more like on my.
On my chest.
(45:39):
Where they were like where I felt the tugging and pulling from.
So you don't have like one side that would hurt more than the other.
Actually one side was a little more swollen than the other one.
Yeah. Okay.
Yeah. Same thing.
And it was, it was, it was definitely very sensitive.
Marbles.
Maybe.
Just for like decoration.
Yeah.
(46:02):
What are they called?
The.
Those balls that you were just.
Ben one.
You're talking about Ben wobbles.
Now when I'm stressed, I just cut myself.
The stress.
The stressful.
Oh God.
(46:24):
Anyways, moving on.
I was in the gym.
I was in the gym for the weekend.
For that rest of the week.
I definitely took it easy.
I didn't, I didn't do shit.
You know,
I was, I was still pretty sensitive down there.
You know,
I was able to shower.
It was just very small little scabbing.
(46:45):
Yeah.
One, one.
No, no.
Today is two weeks actually, since I got the procedure done.
So now I mean, now I walk around.
I'm like, I'm not going to do anything.
I'm going to do it.
I'm going to do it.
I'm going to do it.
I'm going to do it.
You don't even feel the difference anymore.
I don't know.
Everything's there.
I've watched.
That's good.
(47:06):
Yeah.
Be careful.
I've watched myself get stitches a couple of different times and it's,
I can do it.
Yeah.
I could deal with the blood.
I could do all that.
It doesn't bother me.
That story made me hurt.
So, so.
You know what?
It's so.
It's so funny because.
Before they got married and started having children would say the same thing.
(47:27):
Right.
Next thing you know, they're married, have a couple of children or three, four children,
whatever it is.
And then they go get the procedure done.
And then they're like, Hey, they give you, they gave me a call.
And we're like, Hey, guess what I just did.
And I, who knows?
I can't figure it out.
Then they tell me, Oh, I just got a vasectomy.
I was like, Oh, what happened?
(47:48):
I thought you said you'd lost your, you know, I lost my manhood.
I was like, Oh, well, this bullshit talk, you know, and now they got it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But you know, I don't have a couple of kids running around.
I'm not married.
I don't have anything to.
Yeah.
Well, guide me to it.
So, you know what?
I'm going to be happy with my manhood intact instead of having more bullshit gambling in
(48:09):
there.
Can I, can I tell you something?
I don't know.
So, I'm going to have to go make sure that, uh, they were still there.
(48:30):
Oh, look, look, his thing is on mute.
Oh man.
Too funny.
Yeah.
But Gary, come on.
What's going on with the bike?
Did you even start looking to see what you're going to get?
What you're actually I have, and I've been, um, there's a Harley dealership near my house.
And, um, you know, I was, I've been looking at nothing too specific, but something maybe
(48:53):
like a small Harley or something, small bagger that I can start off as my first bike.
Cause I'm not, you, what you should do now is go get a helmet, go get a helmet and gloves,
just go get the gear because of all gloves.
It's on my gloves, the full leather things are thick.
They take time to break in, but a helmet too.
It takes some time to start wearing it.
(49:14):
So I think you should go, at least get a helmet and stuff now.
Okay.
All right.
You know what?
I was just waiting on everything.
You know what?
And then when I was going to go to the course, you know, then it started to get cold and
the winter and I'm doing things around here.
And then your pussy started hurting.
I get it.
So now I'm going to wait for the springtime.
That'll be a good point for me to start.
(49:37):
But it's definitely so good to gear now.
Sorry, breaking it in.
It makes a big difference.
Okay.
Okay.
I'll do that.
I definitely got to get the helmet though.
Yeah.
I recommend gloves.
I mean, I wear full of the gloves, even in the middle of summer when we came back, I
was sweating so damn much.
I wear full gear and I definitely recommend getting the gloves too and breaking them in
(50:01):
now, depending which one you get.
The Alpine swords I have, full leather.
They take a lot to break in.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's good to know.
I agree.
Well, I do want to share some beautiful stats and analytics for this wonderful year that
(50:25):
we successfully have launched with this one would be nine full episodes.
Right.
Plus our mini 3.8 one.
Oh, not to mention our favorite pores, which another one is coming out.
Maybe by the time you see this video.
Yes.
Yeah.
I'm not sure what I'll do next, but we're still waiting for Gary's.
(50:49):
I know.
Just like the bike.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was kind of depressing.
That's actually really good.
(51:11):
I mean, I'm happy.
Yeah.
But it's just how you said it.
Our most with 60 is like, oh, well, that's not a lot.
Yeah.
It makes me happy because people do want to listen to us, but we got to pump them numbers
up.
Yes, definitely.
We got to, which is why I say, you know, share it.
(51:33):
Leave the review this way.
Other people get get a notification and it gets out there, you know, share it with your
friends.
But that was our most listened to episode that we've launched.
So it's good.
Did you ever happen to the drunken episode?
(51:56):
No.
Oh, no, that didn't get released.
That's a backstage conversation.
Okay. All right.
I mean, I think we agreed.
I mean, Nelson definitely agreed not to release that one because it was much.
It was a lot.
It was a lot.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
(52:17):
Yeah.
You definitely didn't agree.
But I said he doesn't love us and answers.
I said we put it up anyway.
Give it to the people.
I'm a beat.
So that.
Oh, my God.
According to this, we have a total of one hundred and ninety two downloads for our podcast.
Okay. Okay.
(52:40):
It's not too bad at all.
Yeah.
I mean, for at least starting this up, you know, and making at least all the sits that
we have made, you know, it's that's not bad.
I don't think so.
I'm pretty I'm pretty impressed, you know, that people actually listen to us to the assets,
you know, I think you asked a very smart.
(53:04):
Thank you.
Me too.
It's sweet to.
Well, damn.
I want to know about all that now.
He's taking a bite.
You know, brings back memories right there.
Yes, it does.
So the army, not the Navy.
(53:25):
Let's move on.
So how many follow?
How many how many people actually following us?
So that one would depend on each platform and how it gets tracked.
Okay.
Okay.
But we do have a top five locations as to where people listen to us.
Of course, you know, United States, we have Belgium.
(53:49):
I don't know who listens to us in Belgium and Brussels.
Shout out to Belgium.
Shout out to Brussels.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Thank you.
We have some, some decent numbers from Brussels.
And then here in the, let's see what else we have.
Canada, of course.
We have Nigeria, Germany.
(54:12):
Okay.
Bulgaria, Malaysia, France.
I was just talking about France.
I had good bread.
And we have two downloads from the Russian Federation.
Hey.
And they're on our renewed vodka.
(54:34):
But, but yeah.
So some of the cities, Ashburn, San Jose, of course, New York,
Milton, which is what Connecticut, St. Louis, the Bronx.
Milton in Florida.
Oh, I'm thinking, what am I thinking?
(54:56):
What's in Connecticut?
Isn't there a M in Connecticut?
Stanford.
Whatever.
San Francisco.
Oh, O'Fallon.
I don't know where O'Fallon is.
Farmingdale.
All right.
Fort Worth, Brooklyn, Hampton Bay.
Mount Sinai.
(55:18):
Yeah.
Brexville.
Corona.
Okay.
La Mesa.
Yeah, we, we definitely, we're, we're, you know.
Yeah, we're, we're definitely reaching.
I mean, listen. I mean, if you give, keep putting out content.
And keep these people interested.
I was, I was listening to a.
(55:40):
To a different podcast, right? And they said.
Content is king.
sound quality is queen. So, you know, I think, I think we're doing good. I think our investment
in our decent mics have definitely paid off, right? Because it is a podcast. Yeah, our
(56:03):
mics, right? Right, Gary?
Yeah, yeah, my mic here. But yeah, I mean, overall, I'm very satisfied with these numbers.
I know at the beginning, I like focused a lot on the numbers, but you know, I let it
(56:23):
be and it's doing good. You know, it's doing really good. A lot, a lot more than I've expected,
honestly.
That's good. That's good. I'm, you know, I saw because of you guys that listen to us
and our shenanigans. Yeah, right. I hope we, I hope we do. How do we entertain the people,
you know? I mean, and it's kind of cool to hear that we've reached so different parts
(56:51):
of the world, actually, you know? Yeah, it's pretty cool. Absolutely. So being in all those
parts of the world, and I said that in honor of our two friends in Russia, we need vodka.
No, no, no, what? Absinthe. We need vodka. Isn't it called vodka? No, we need absinthe.
(57:12):
No, I had Jager, not absinthe. I don't want absinthe, but I had this particular bottle
of vodka. I picked it up in Poland. And I'm pretty sure our wizard will show you the people
what it is. But.
(57:33):
We're editors.
I just had some good.
Yeah, our wizard.
I had some decent Polish vodka. What kind of Polish vodka are you talking about? Because
I had something, it might've been Polish or German, and it had bison grass in it. I forget
the name right now.
It's not like gin. It just gave it a. They use some wild stuff. No, this was vodka, but
(57:55):
it just. Juniper berries?
No, this was not like that. It's called bison grass, but it just gave it this really unique
taste. I've never had anything like it before. I wanted to get the whole bottle, you know?
So, but you know, it must have been that good.
You're going to laugh when you see this vodka that I have. I picked it up specifically because
it just stood out. I don't even think it was expensive, but.
(58:19):
I think it's cool. And I think the people think it's kind of cool too.
Yeah. But again, if you guys could leave a review, we'll definitely greatly, greatly
appreciate it this way. The podcast definitely gets out there and suggested to more people.
(58:40):
That's what I could see from my end as far as analytics. That's all it has.
Big up to all the men out there that might have vasectomies that listen to us, you know?
Hell yeah. There's nothing unmandly of that.
Hell no. Everything works.
There's nothing unmandly.
(59:02):
We walk around life the same way as the guys that have their tubes connected. So everything's
all good.
The only difference is you have two marbles and I have two testicles. So, but there's
nothing against it. Be proud of your marbles.
I'm proud of my marbles.
I'm proud. So next time I got to do it to make sure they're still there.
(59:23):
Oh no, no, no. I could do that too. You want to see?
Anyways, the people don't want to see. I want to see. The people don't.
But yeah, please leave a review. Something that we can...
Leave a review specifically so that Gary can see it and he will answer every single question,
(59:47):
every single comment and any concern you may have.
I'll do that.
Gary will be the one to answer.
I'll do that.
He actually has been the one that answers.
I think I'm the only one that has answered the last few comments.
Because you're the guy.
I'll do it.
You are the comment guy.
I will do it.
It's funny how you answer Instagram DMs, but you don't answer us.
(01:00:09):
Oh, sheesh.
I was going to bring it up, but...
I was going to bring it up.
Hey Gary, is one of your New Year's resolutions to actually answer us when we're chatting
on the group chat?
Yes, it is actually. It actually is.
(01:00:30):
But you know what, thinking about that, is that really Gary's fault?
It's obviously Gary's fault.
But even in person, does Gary ever pay attention to us?
Oh, dang.
When he needs something, he calls us.
Only when he needs something.
(01:00:51):
Only when he needs something.
So can you really blame him this time?
I see what you're saying.
I mean...
I don't.
I don't know what you're talking about.
And that's the point.
You don't even see it.
Nope.
I don't even see it.
It shows how lowly we are.
No.
No.
No.
I haven't...
I see him as a friend.
I get it.
I mean, you've been ignoring me already.
(01:01:12):
Oh, shoot.
Is it already?
Time flies, man.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
Time flies.
I'll be more responsive.
You know, I do read it, but it's like I get to...
Remember, I know where you live.
(01:01:34):
Now, you guys heard it, right?
We'll let you know if he actually keeps his word.
He's not going to.
You guys have no faith in me.
I have all the faith in you, Gary.
All of it.
I do talk about you guys all the time.
(01:01:55):
But you don't talk to us.
That's funny.
I don't talk to you guys.
Gary, you know what I noticed?
I mean, this was totally unplanned, but Lawson has a Minnesota t-shirt, right?
I have my Manhattan little apple t-shirt.
Do you have anything from your deployment and where you went and one of the states that you visit?
(01:02:26):
I think I do.
I got to go get it, though.
No, wait.
No, I don't actually.
So do you or don't you?
I don't.
He doesn't.
So our wizard will have Gary here with a picture of him in a shirt.
Okay.
(01:02:48):
That editor has to work extra hard this time.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, damn.
Editor has to work real hard.
We're going to have to give that editor a damn incentive for Christmas bonus.
We'll give him a tip.
No, just a tip.
(01:03:09):
One or two fingers.
Is that what you want?
One of these.
The big one.
Yeah, okay then.
All right.
Anyway, that's interesting.
So the number when we were in Texas, I got the tank top from Kansas and it was what?
(01:03:35):
Something about low expectations.
It's Kansas.
I don't remember.
But when we had the barbecue that day where my it got in all the grease and it was it was trashed.
I actually got it clean.
Nice.
And it came off.
Yeah.
Well, I didn't shout out to my sister because I'm a man child and I don't know how to do it properly.
(01:04:00):
But it's clean and it looks really nice.
And you said it and it's I just didn't want you so it's literally sitting on my bed right now.
So you mentioned it and it's just there.
Okay.
Nice.
Yeah, nice.
I think Gary also had a Kansas t-shirt.
He didn't go to Kansas with this.
(01:04:21):
I think Gary also had something Kansas related.
Yeah.
The editor will show the people.
Big ups to the editor.
Yeah.
Big ups to the editor.
What's his name, by the way?
Yeah, yeah.
He's an unnamed intern.
Dickhead.
Is that what it is?
These are unpaid intern that we just hired.
(01:04:47):
Yeah, exactly.
We adopted them and we feed them like once a month.
He gets fed based on how many people actually listen to us.
If you want to feed our intern.
Yeah, we'll take any donations for the intern.
(01:05:14):
He works a lot actually, you know, he's the editor.
He's our sound engineer.
Yeah.
He lives the life of an intern, overworked and never paid.
That's a fact.
Word.
Word.
Word.
But yeah, that's all these stats that I have here on this lovely window.
(01:05:37):
And again, you know, thanks to all you guys that actually listen to us and
hopefully we can get into the triple digits one day.
At least triple digits.
One day.
We are in triple digits.
Well, overall total, yes, but not.
Not of one episode.
(01:06:02):
You know what?
We need to make regular content.
We need to talk.
Yeah, no.
We need to be there.
We need Gary to be the poster child.
His face on every billboard.
Yeah.
But not for the most wanted though.
Not around elementary schools either.
No, no.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh.
(01:06:24):
Too much.
Well, you know, we did, we did forget one thing and that's the, our disclaimer.
We're not affiliated with anybody.
Our views are our own.
Hey, you're, you're, you're fucking up.
So I actually.
(01:06:45):
This is out of the fall.
Towards the end.
You know, this way it could be kind of our closing or.
All right.
Kind of like our credits, right?
The credits roll and then.
All right.
Shoot.
Oh, for a good idea, actually, before we get into our.
Disclaimer for a credit.
(01:07:06):
Maybe we can't have some sort of credit at the end.
The people think that's a decent idea.
Some rolling credits, you know, so they can actually figure out who our intern is and.
Just get credit for everything is still maybe list some things, you know.
Oh, like actual rolling credits.
Yeah.
(01:07:27):
Okay.
That sounds.
That sounds interesting.
Okay.
Yeah, it does.
I think, I think our, I think our intern can make it happen.
I think the intern can make it happen.
I have faith.
I have faith in him too.
Did you have something to share Lawson?
(01:07:48):
It was like a specific soundboard that you had that you were going to share.
It's so funny you knew what I was talking about.
That's all I got.
That's all he's got.
Okay.
That's all I got.
You know, I'm talking about.
(01:08:09):
I'm totally banned from ever owning one again.
Me more you have for had recipes.
Now I'm going to.
Recipe says.
Yeah.
Mr. Waddle 10 and I forgot the other one's name.
You see, you should have just cook them.
Yeah, man.
(01:08:30):
I guess I had high hopes that, you know, one day they can grow up to be.
Four chickens and give me, you know, two years worth of eggs and then make them.
Yeah.
You know what?
Yeah.
I don't expect them to live.
This short of a life.
It's a very sad thing.
(01:08:57):
Oh, shout out to airline food.
Airline food.
What?
Yeah.
Did I even serve actual food?
Cause all the flights that I've taken and I've taken plenty of flights this year.
Then I love.
Yeah.
Okay.
Is that what it is?
(01:09:18):
Yeah.
Cause I've only got peanuts or crackers.
Like international flights, for example.
You're going to get two meals usually.
Yeah.
But most domestic flights, even a six hour flight, they're just going to give you peanuts.
Don't worry about it.
Just bring an MRA with you.
You have food.
That's right.
(01:09:39):
That's the spirit.
My stomach hurts just thinking about that.
Meanwhile, I have several in my room.
I can talk about why, but I have several, but my stomach hurts thinking about that.
Speaking of MRAs.
Have you watched the movie that Michelle and Barack Obama directed?
(01:10:00):
No.
I knew they had a movie based on some of the recommendations, not even recommendations,
based on some of the stuff that I do watch.
Somebody made a video talking about the movie.
I didn't watch their video, but the point is that's how I knew they even had a movie.
I don't know what it's about.
(01:10:21):
Let's put that on the list.
What's it called?
Leave the World Behind.
It's called.
It's on Netflix.
They have.
I actually stopped paying for my Netflix.
I'm tired of it.
They keep raising the prices and it's not giving good enough time.
So in my personal opinion, I don't know.
(01:10:42):
Yeah, you're right.
So remember when I said earlier about the let's have four episodes.
Okay, we'll do it live.
I always wanted to do a blooper trailer or blooper and trailer.
(01:11:04):
I always wanted to do a blooper trailer or blooper and to this.
So maybe I can maybe I'll edit it off to get that out.
But Netflix there was this Castlevania.
It came out.
(01:11:26):
I definitely think you should do your magic real quick though.
But Netflix with Castlevania, they made their new animated series.
We're not even new at this point.
Came up a couple years ago where the first season was literally only four episodes.
I think it was and it was it was so good.
All right. Sorry about that.
Oh, not as sorry as you're going to be.
(01:11:48):
I had to take a pee break.
Thanks.
I think the first season was I believe it was four episodes.
Maybe it could have been The Witcher 2.
I forget.
But I know they've been cutting the season short.
I guess maybe to see if there's any interest in the actual show before they fully convinced everything.
I do know Castlevania.
It was a very, very good show.
(01:12:09):
In fact, I put the boss onto it down to Texas and he like finished it within a week.
He was saying I wouldn't sleep watching the show Castlevania.
But yeah.
On what?
Netflix.
Netflix. OK.
But I don't I honestly don't think there's enough content to keep my subscription on there.
(01:12:32):
There's nothing interesting enough.
Yeah. Fair enough.
I found I've been finding a few interesting things on there lately.
Just know what I've been into.
Korean movies, man.
I've been watching like all these Korean flicks.
I'm like really into that shit.
(01:12:55):
OK.
Just saying.
I have.
I will not judge you.
Just slightly.
Castlevania.
There's something wrong with them.
It's on Netflix.
I.
I came out roughly.
(01:13:19):
21.
My guys.
It was another Castlevania 2023.
That's where you are.
What?
Huh?
Or in the script.
We're having technical difficulties.
No, no, no.
I think I'm fine here.
Oh, good.
We can't see you.
Why can't you see me?
(01:13:41):
You see a camera though?
No, it isn't.
This is what happens with Apple products.
He is actually on a PC, so it is definitely not.
Yeah.
I don't know what's going on.
Maybe.
Am I back?
No.
Yeah.
I am back, right?
Maybe my phone did something.
(01:14:02):
Oh, you're not back on my screen, but it's OK.
As long as I were.
I can see you.
I can see you.
Now you're frozen, Gary.
I'm frozen now.
Wow.
I don't know what's going on here.
Yeah.
Well, being that we are having technical difficulties,
(01:14:26):
Let's call it a wrap.
Shall we roll the disclaimer?
Yes, roll the disclaimer.
We should definitely roll the disclaimer.
All right.

And our guest, Lawson.
(01:15:10):
And I did have the clapping, but my soundboard is not working.
You can't do that with your camera turned off, Gary.
Anyway, guys.
I don't know why my camera is off.
Actually, I do not know why.
We heard the clapping.
(01:15:32):
You're back now.
I'm back now?
How's that sound?
Not for me, but that's okay.
The clapping.
I can see you.
Thank you, bro.
I can see you.
I can see all of you, actually.
All of you.
There's only two of us.
Yeah.
Well, there's you and the guest.
I'm the guest.
(01:15:53):
Yeah.
Well.
All right, guys.
It's been a gas.
Whatever that means.
No, gas is what you smoke.
Gas is what he passes.
Gas is what you spill in your car when you're trying to work on it.
(01:16:16):
When you leave the fuel pump.
Yeah, connected.
The fuel line disconnected.
I did have throttle body cleaner, which I think is still here.
Maybe it's downstairs.
I doused almost a whole side of the engine just to try and dilute all that gasoline, man.
(01:16:38):
That was pretty bad.
You live and learn.
Really?
You okay?
Yeah, I'm having a good time.
Well, that's it.
I had a good time.

Wow.
I will answer.
