Very exciting. It's it's a lowticket like alert right now because it's

I started working on putting together thesetlist and like, I um judge myself
harshly and everything. Yeah, Iwas giggling at stuff I've written down and

(02:59):
that never had happens, right,I was like, oh, that's funny,
being hilarious. If you want toknow the show is good. I
think it's funny. I'm laughing already. So there it is. Um.
You had said, you want totalk about my birthday, Yeah, which

you're really excited. It's Leo season, it's your birth month, it's

(03:21):
your birth week. We're talking aboutyour birthday. That's that's all. I'm
just wait, wait, pause.So you didn't have like anything specific.
I just want to see if youhad anything to add like you usually do
about your birthday. Would be likeif you're like, uh, as,
I want to talk about? Whatdo you want to talk about? Dogs?

(03:42):
Okay? About them? They're they'reokay, you would assume that you
assume that it meant like chewy andskittles okay. But to be fair,
earlier before we started the podcast,I said, what do you want to
talk about? Because you always makefun of me for that one time.
So one time that I said,well you want to talk about to a
room of Kyle and d Land andyou and Derek in Louisville. Yes,
when nobody was talking, and Idon't like awkward silences. So I decided

(04:05):
relaxing before the show, and yougot, what do you ask want to
talk about I wasn't relaxed at all. Yeah. Nobody cares about me though,
So as long as everybody else wasrelaxed, Yeah, well I was,
and then and then everybody. Okay, I'm sorry. So what what
about the birthday? So I orderyour gift? I actually showed your gift
to Cruise, so he can vouchfor me that your gift has been paid

(04:25):
for an ordered, right, okay, But it hasn't sent yet, and
it's it's in um Europe. It'scoming over here, you know, okay,
by way of shift or something.Maybe maybe a plane, I don't
know, probably a plan. Butit still hasn't shipped yet. So I'm
freaking out. And I emailed themon Sunday night. I haven't heard back
yet. I just got an email. Maybe it's then is it a legitimate

(04:45):
website? It's not like a creditedwebsite. Yeah. Are you sure?
Yeah? Because they emailed me tomake sure my address was my address?
Okay? Are you sure it's likea legit if you checked like the reviews
of this place, No, butthey looked it looks real. Can you
type in that place and reviews?Hold on? That would be Although I
guess like they were scammers, theyprobably wouldn't go out of the way to

(05:08):
like double check to make sure you'regetting stuff. Um exactly. Okay,
so we're gonna see hold on reviews. Did the email not go through?
Did you not actually get anything?No? I did, I know for
a fact I did. Did Creersthink it was good? Yeah? He
was like, oh that's okay,okay, um, all right, let's
see here waiting, waiting. Ithink this is the website. Hold on,

(05:31):
let me look up the man Italked to his name. Okay,
there's nothing worse than feel like you'vebeen scammeding long, I have way too
many emails. This is not howwait you know what, Oh, I
know, I know what to lookup. Okay, what it is?
It is the website that I originallyjust thought. Okay, okay, all
right, here we go. Yes, and looks real. Okay, wait,

(05:55):
I was going to say, googlethat site. So it's like John's
Teas and reviews because and other peoplelike, hey, I've used John's Teas
and it works well. Or they'relike, hey, I've used John's Teas
and I it's a scamp. Well. Trustpilot dot Com says that there are
forty four thousand, two hundred andseventy nine reviews, and they have a
four point eight star reading. Okay, reviews dot io, which is what's

(06:17):
what's dot io? Where's that?I have no idea? That's what countries
are? Um, they have elevenreviews in a two point eight star reading.
Yeah, okay, so let's gowith the higher one. But Reddit
says it's a real so it's gottabe real. Okay, where do you
think this ranks? And the listof birthday gifts? Okay, I know
it's gonna happen. You're gonna getthe gift and be like really, but
then you're gonna be like, oh, this is really cool though. Two,

(06:39):
I've never once scart disappointed. No, you're gonna see you're gonna be
like, I know where you gotthis idea. I also haven't gotten the
last gift. Doesn't matter because Ihaven't unpacked that box yet, which I
am today because I actually have totoday because tomorrow I have people coming to
my apartment. Yeah, I haveto. My birthday last year got me

(07:00):
something again, a decale from mycar, which I don't have anymore because
the Yeah, but anyway, itcame in you didn't give it to me
like months later. And then there'sanother part of it. You said her
second never sent I got you agift card to get your card details.
Yeah, because I thought that wasnice because you're shot a new car,
and then I accidentally took it backto Georgia with me and use it.
I should have I have thought aboutyou, like really, honestly, okay,

(07:24):
this is really messed up. WhenI first got here in my car
has been my car still disgusting,I was like, honestly, he doesn't
have a card. Now I couldjust use it, didn't get him something
else. But yeah, but youcouldn't know because I already know that you're
get you already said here getting theDC like the detail. Had you not
told me what it was, youcould have easily used it not told you.
I had next girlfriend once where Ihad gotten her a gift card to

(07:45):
like Sephorae, and we were goingto one of her friend's birthdays. She
forgot to hear a friend something shotand she was like, you can't use
the gift card to get her somethingthat's me. I said, no,
yeah, don't do that. Yeah, I get the idea of it,
but like no, just like I'mprincipal. That seems she bought her from
the gift. Yeah, essentially,Yeah, even though it's a gift card.
Still okay, So do you thinkthat because I got you a bicycle?

(08:05):
Yeah, that's a dope. No, you're gonna love this gift.
I know if cru says are gonnalove it. Even though he is a
very polite person, I know fora fact you're gonna love it. You
also try to give away now tothink about it. I got you a
really cool Ravens frame with a ticketthing. Yeah, you sit here and
give it to your dad to putin his office. I asked if I
could. It's actually in my apartment. I did unpack it already. Don't

(08:26):
you worry? Have you actually setit up? I set it up.
There's not a picture because so no, yeah, I mean it's two thousand
and twenty three. I don't havea printer. What am I putting in
the picture frame? A photo ofyou and your fagia out of a football
game? You think, where amI getting this picture from? There's a
photos of like what we did thatI could tailgate partners. I will send
I'll send one over to wherever youget pictures printed and like CBS says,

(08:48):
printed, all right there you see, so you just have an empty I
do because I was worried that oneday you come over and be like where
is it? And right there it'sright. You can't miss it. It
doesn't match anything. Okay, listen, I I I really want to tell
you what I got you now,please tell you. No. I consider
myself a very good gift giver becauseI pay attention to detail, but I

(09:11):
also like to mess up people.So there was like for one of Mill's
anniversaries, I said to her like, hey, I haven't seen the book
that I made you in a longtime. Do you still have it?
And she said yeah, I'm likewhere is it? She was in my
room. I go, that's funnybecause I never made you a relationship,
but wow, what is wrong withyou? She freaked out like, oh
God, like what's he talking about? And so I that's I'm just me.

(09:33):
You are you. You are alsojust like a very good gift giver
and we do appreciate it because thegifts are great, but then it like
it sets us up for failure.But I always maintain doesn't because I've never
been disappointed by it. I justthe fact the idea that people are thinking
about me is pretty cool. Well, you're sappointing the gift I didn't give
you that I did get you.Can you say that again by English?
I didn't. You're disappointed by thegift that I didn't give you but I

(09:56):
did get you. Well, yeah, because I still want the gift.
You know. It's like if Iwas like, dude, I got you
tickets to see Blink in the Pit, there's no time said okay, but
it's still it's the idea of likeyou hoording it for yourself. Yeah,
I know, I get that,But also I just I knew like when

(10:18):
I got it. When I gotit and I took it back to George,
I was like, I'm not gonnamail this back, kind of like
when you got the bike and didn'tbring it here. That was an accident.
My dad can vouch for me.Where's the bike now? It's been
four weeks where so it's still atthe apartment on the bike rack. Are
you sure? Zoom? Yeah?I think. So what's gonna happen to
it? I'm gonna bring it backor something. I'm gonna figure it out.
Have you ever seen the future,I'm a gift or the it's the

(10:39):
dog waiting outside the bar for hisowner to come home. Do you think
the bike's waiting for you to comeback? I think so. It's very
sad. Yeah, probably getting Peteon in seven. It kind of makes
me upset even thinking about it.Flood in Atlanta, TiO. So I
probably got rushed down it now.It was on the top floor. It's
on the top floor in that bikerack. Yeah, they took it back
inside as far as you know.I mean I asked them too, because
I had to them to do afew things. I left a few things.

(11:01):
There. Is there a way thismight be a dumb question with bicycles
to know which one's yours, likeif if like yeah, but if you
if somebody took it in your building, where you'd be like, oh,
that bike's mind because it has blanklike if a car there's a ven number
and like or a license plate.Is there a way to be like,
I'm the only one that has thatbike in the building and I had to
register the bike with the building.How did you register the bike? You

(11:22):
have to send in a picture andlike send in a bunch of different shots
of it. Yeah, So andlike, say, what floor and everything?
And is there like a serial number? I think you put in there.
I never really thought that before ifpeople had the same bike, how
do you tell? I didn't haveto. I just had to email them
all these pictures so that they knewto junk my bike. But like,
do you know bikes have that?I don't like a number? Do you

(11:43):
want me? I'll google it?Yeah? Yeah, be curious. You
have a serial number? Is thisgot to be like the same bike looks
most bikes? Do you have aserial number located under the bottom bracket where
the two pedal cranks come together.Okay, I also put together the bike
myself. I want to I wantthat to be noted. Did you really
Yea? I bolt all by myself. Yeah, I kept taking breaks,

(12:03):
but it did shake me. Umit probably like all together hourly wise,
it probably took me three hours becauseI did mess up. Um, it
wasn't the petals I messed up.Maybe it was the petals. I messed
up something in the back of thebike. Were you afraid the first time
you guy it knowing that you puttogether? Yes, I was terrified.
Yeah. I even text my mom. I was like, just so you
know. I'm I'm riding the bikethat John got me. I just finished

(12:24):
playing together. I tested it out, though, to be fair, riding
it down the hallway. I did. I was scared because my neighbor came
upstairs and he had been in areally bad bike accident. He claims.
I don't know. He could havebeen being dramatic, honestly, but he
came upstairs because he had told me, like he'd come up before and saw
me playing the bike together, andhe was like, I want to see

(12:45):
you test it out, and hetold me he was in this like terrible
bike accident in near our apartment.So I was like, I'm going to
test it riding it down the hallwayjust in case I get hurt. I
need someone there in the like picturein case I black out or something.
So he was there and yeah,we're a little mess up. So I
had to go redo the break.Look at you. Yeah, so I
got you a helmet too, didn'tI did? And it's here. I
brought the helmet here. Why wouldyou bring this the helmet for it?

(13:09):
Because it's not like I don't keepthe helmet outside. I kept it in
my apartment. Okay, Well,do you use the helmet for your longboard
and other pickle balling. I don'tuse it for pickle balling, but I
could use it for longboarding. Areyou what if we did a show pick
a ball thing. Would you beworried that you'd be the worst one on
the show. No, Because Ihave a pro racket. I have these
goggles. I have some pickle balloutfit goggles. People are goggles for pickle

(13:31):
My hands sent me some goggles,so I haven't. Yeah, but would
you be worried though that, likewe would get really good at it?
Yeah, a little bit would ruinit for you, A little bit for
me. I think that if wedid it all together, be fun.
Yeah, but it is like pears. Okay, so we had to be
like team players. Who do youthink would be the pears? Well,
I just feel like Eric and Hoodieautomatically would be the pears. I'd be

(13:52):
stuck with you. I'm just kidding. I'm kidding. Okay, I want
Rose. So how about that?Yeah? You you you go play by
yourself. That's my It was myidea. You can be the official.
