Speaker 1 (00:33):
That little girl right there, we started this podcast two
years ago.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Megan, she sounds so little.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
That little girl now told me while we were school
close shopping this last weekend that she wants a little
less not completely gone, a little less rainbow than unicorns,
because she wants to be a little more grown up
this year. No, and I walked around the corner. I wait,
she's ten now, going into fifth grade. Yeah, she wants
(01:02):
to be. She's constantly telling me Dad, I'm becoming a
woman now, so I have to do this and Dad,
I'm becoming a woman now. Oh yeah, my baby, oh yeah,
oh yeah. So now my focus obviously is not my son.
It's only five and will stay five for a few years,
forever forever. It is the Slightly mess Show. My name
(01:25):

podcast and right a lot of the Wednesdays that should
be the.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Tagline A lot of the Wednesdays.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, So I, uh, while we're school close shopping, I
am talking to my wife and my wife and I
go back and forth on' like my wife believes in
Ali believes in crystals, she believes in like manifesting, she
believes in all of that, and like part of me
is like one foot in like I, okay, I'm sort
(02:01):
of on board, like certain things happen and I'm like,
oh okay, And she has this theory that I have this.
I don't know what she calls it. There's some astrologi
astrology type term for it where it's like not sort
of where I can sense like things, I can sense
(02:22):
things on people. I can sense like I just you
could just feel it. I don't think it's just me.
I think everybody has this to an extent. I think
it's also like being empathetic to an extent. But I
also think that it's uh that like there are times
where I'll say something and I'll bring it up to
my wife and I'm like, I don't know why this
is weird.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
This situation is weird, and but it's weird.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
And I've always just said it's overthinking, like right, because
it's just weird. Something's weird about this, and it's always
just been like, oh, it's overthinking. But now, after what
happened here in the SNX studio, I'm convinced that I'm
basically Spider Man, that I basically have super hero powers
that I cannot explain. But remember the last was it
(03:06):
three weeks now, I've been like, hey, the heat's broken
or something in here, something's wrong with the heat in here,
and nobody will address.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
It, right because it was so hot.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
It's still so hot in this fucking studio, still so
goddamn hot in this fucking studio, and I'm like, somebody
should address it, somebody should say something, somebody should do something.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
No, I think it's fine. No, everybody's like, oh I
think it's good.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Oh, I think it's good this last weekend because the
heat did not get addressed. And mind you, this has
happened many, many, many, many times, but for some reason,
I just was like, hey, somebody should fix this.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
It's not something's not right here.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
It froze up somewhere, the ac had froze up, which
is why it was so hot in here. And it
created like a like an ice brick, like a huge
ice brick, and then that brick melted. Flooding are like
the this is for like people who don't work like radio,
but like where all of our it stuff is like
(04:04):
that entire room was flooded to the to the point
where it knocked out.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Two hole stations and blew out their hard drives.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Stop it bit the big stations here too, not like
just like a you know, like a prod studio, Like
the entire station was gone for an entire day and
they didn't know what to do. They had to like
run off of like playing songs like manually.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
It was a whole thing. And I'm just saying I
said it three weeks ago. Three weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
My spidy sense is kicked in and I said, something's
not right here. But nobody want to listen to me.
Nobody want to listen to me.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Do you walk around them like shoulders back, chest out,
little swag in the stet like.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I might do one of these stretches where we're like, oh, really,
I didn't know if anybody and so wish somebody had
brought that up I wish. I wish somebody had had said, hey,
it's super hot and it's still hot here, like it's not.
The problem hasn't been fig uh. And I took a picture. Oh,
I wonder if I can put it in here. I
took a picture of what the studio looked like because
(05:07):
it was such an emergency that they blew out the
ceilings and the uh. It was everywhere and nobody had
cleaned that up even. Let me see if I can
find it.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Oh my god, the absolute skills you have right now.
It's like you said on Tech Talk Live all day
every day because that was so fast, Mike, I know.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I know, Oh you know what.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
That's a picture of crystals, which is also kind of
interesting that I have a picture of crystals just like
ready to go?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Is that like your broad crystal? Which kind of crystal
is it?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Why? What is the deal with the broad crystal?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
I don't know what. To keep it close to your
son line.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Do you believe in that stuff or now? No, I
didn't think you did.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Everybody in my life does except for me, and I listen.
If it brings your calmness, peace, joy, whatever, I'm all
for it. But do I believe in the mystical powers
of rocks in your bra absolutely fucking dodge.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
So there's a guy that works in our building and
he he has a rock person like it has a
rock guy like has a person you go get his
and it's so so like he's always into like like
specific things. He's always got a thing he's into and
then he's overly into it. And so my wife and
him were like chatting about this, and he sent me
home with those those crystals that you just saw in
(06:22):
my picture. They're probably the size of a shoe, huge
crystals to bring home, and they're.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Like protection crystals.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
How much were they?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
I didn't pay for him.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I'm assuming a lot of money, but it was a
gift to my wife because they had such an infinity
for ah in affinity for these stonesd.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Alert Alert nord Alert.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
I can't imagine being at a point in my life
where I was like, if I only had rose courts,
my life would be fucking together, Like like, I can't
ever imagine being that. It always makes me laugh so hard.
You and I said on TikTok all the time, I'm
always in people's TikTok lives.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I love TikTok.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Live and every time I see one of those boards
with like a magnet on it, or people throwing bones
or whatever it is where you ask a question, Oh,
it's the bone one my favorite. If the bones cross,
it's yes, If they touch, it's maybe.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
If none of the bones grass, it's no.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
And they just pick up bones and they shake them
in their hands and they throw them.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
On the table.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
And I'm like, if you're getting your advice from some
old chicken bones on big life decisions, how how do
you rationalize that? Because I would love to have that
in my life where I'm like, you know what, trust
the chicken bones?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Well, I'm so Usually I'm my guide.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Or when there's just a hanging magnet and the person
is just constantly like throwing it and people are asking,
am I going to find love this year?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Am I?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Like?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Am I getting divorced?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
You're really gonna ask the magnet board if you're getting divorced,
like who married you? If you trust the magnet board,
what is going on in your life?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
If if not the magnet board, then who do I ask? Megan?
Who should I ask yourself?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Ask yourself and go with your own thoughts and feelings,
and not whether or not a stick is gonna get
like point towards a word on a board with a magnet.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I've made questionable decisions my entire life. I can't even
say decisions. I've made questionable decisions my entire life. I
don't trust me. I'd rather ask a magnet let the
rocks decide.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Every time I see crystals.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
For sale, there's always one that's like nineteen hundred dollars,
and I just want to be like, in what fucking
world is that rock worth nearly two grand? It is
a rock, you guys, a rock.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
It's so deep at my house that, like my wife
has these little jars with certain types of sands or
rocks or whatever in them, hidden throughout the house, so
they're like no bad stuff can come in and no
bad stuff can come out. And you know what I've
realized is we haven't had a lot of company recently.
I'm wondering if it's working.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I also have no room to talk, because again, if
it brings you peace and joy, then I'm so happy
for you. Sure I was raised a Catholic. Do we
have a priest come in with special water?
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Of course?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
And he sprayed around the whole house to get the
demons out. So, like, you know, if it's your thing,
it's your thing, right.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I never understood the rocks. I don't understand any of it. Really,
I want to. I'm open minded enough, and I think
you are to to to like hear you out and
like say the same. If you're If it's your thing,
go ahead and do it.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
It's fine.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I might not wear crystals around my neck, but if
my wife wants to wear earrings that have crystals in them,
I don't.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I don't care. Yeah, but I'm interested now, Like, what
is the what is the reason?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I feel like you are one step away from being
the people that don't wear shoes? Okay, have you seen
the couples that don't wear shoes in public? And then
they walk around and they're like, it's the healthiest I've
ever been, And I'm like, I'm I'm I'm so happy
that you're healthy, But your feet make me gag.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
There's some NFL player and I forget his name. He
might play for the Chiefs that is does not wear shoes.
It was just a story in the news. Does not
wear shoes at all, like unless he has to, he says,
shoes are a tool, and he only uses them when
he has to. He also doesn't eat, hasn't eating veggies
in the air. There's a bunch of other weird stuff.
(10:26):
I forget what he does. But he looks like sideshow
Bob from the Simpsons.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
And and he is. He's incredibly interesting.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I want to hear that logic because I'd love to
hear somebody who's like, I want to be grounded.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I want to be one with the earth.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Wait, this food comes from the earth. I will not
ingest it.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
I don't know what there's a there's a hold on.
Let me find him. I'll find him. But I kind
of get the shoe thing. I don't think I'm gonna
be in the shoe thing.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I kind of get the shoe thing only because I
don't like to wear shoes. I hate to you ever
walk around in the in the grass of the sand
without shoes on?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Not particularly?
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Would you wear shoes around the house or No?
Speaker 3 (11:05):
I don't allow shoes in my house.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Okay, So what's the difference then, Uh, I.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Wash my floors. I think that's the difference.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I have chemical cleaners versus I've seen what people do
in these streets and I don't need that on my
skin because people go with your feet it's it's fine,
it's the outdoors. And I'm like, that's still your skin.
Your skin absorbs stuff. I don't want my skin absorbing
the dust from the floors of the grocery store.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
You know what I mean. Like, I don't need that
in my life.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Okay, I get like in a grocery store or even
in a even in a like on the streets, but
like in the grass, like sure, sure.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
But I'm talking about the people that go from toe shoes.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
To no shoes.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Like if you're a if you're in toe shoes, I
just know within twelve months you're not gonna wear shoes
outdoors unless you're in an airport.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I can't do toe tow Shoes to me are weirder
than barefoot, Like it's something about I don't know. I
know it's weirder than me because I barely can do
the finger gloves.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
A kid. So it's the skysteal. Did you figure it out?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yeah, he's a receiver for the Bills now and he
has any a vegetable in three years.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
He doesn't wear shoes.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
He goes to training camp and does all the regular things,
and when he has to he wears them or whatever.
But it's just he feels that it's a tool and
it's not natural to not wear shoes or to wear shoes.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I mean, did he explain the vegetable part.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
No, No, there's literally no explanation to that. It's just
his his habits that he's picked up. He's a vegan.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
How are you a vegan with no vegetables?
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Wait? No, excuse me.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
He's a vegan on game days because and I quote
coach told him that hungry dogs run faster.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Wait, so is it just fruits and water?
Speaker 1 (13:08):
He says, I don't eat vegetables anymore because it's not right.
He thinks cats steal your soul. He does not cut
his hair. This is all things. And I don't know
if he's just doing this. I mean, this seems to
be a common not a common thing. It seems to
be something he does all the time. It's not like
he just made all this stuff up today, Like this
(13:29):
is this is who this guy is.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
He's a receiver. For his name is Mac Collins Bill's Mafia.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Please light a table and throw him on it.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I give that man a vegetable.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I'm truly worried about his bone density.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Yeah, oh that's a great point. How does he not
get hurt?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Water and fruits.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I mean, he's avoiding the scurvy and I'll give him that,
and you know what, in today's day and age, relatively
large threat. But I don't understand the vegan with no
vegetables because I was vegan for a very long time,
like a very long time. I could never imagine doing
that with no vegetables.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Yeah, I couldn't either.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
He does mention that he feels more grounded due to
the release of flea of free electrons from his body.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
That's why he did lagoons and fruits.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I get beans and fruits.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
That's what I could do on game Dan, Baby, I
would not want to be in that locker room if
all he was eating was beans and fruits.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah, absolutely pathetic.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Love the show. You guys are doing a great job
with Mike and Megan.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
It does seem like it would be the most disgusting
thing in the world, the most disgusting thing in the world. Okay,
so it's a slightly messy show, Megan and Mike and Megan,
you were.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Just telling me that you were kind of getting roasted
here recently.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Oh god, is it a day of the week that
end zone?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Somebody's making fun.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Of me, Hey, what happened?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I am a rider or die person in the way
that makes me so old it's not even funny. And
I have had multiple people in my life lately tell
me that I am using outdated technology, and yes, I
am using the word technology in this scenario, and that
I needed to get with the times. One of the
(15:24):
people that told me this much younger than me. One
of the people a little bit older than me, And
so there's a range of people making fun of me.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I just want to make that part clear.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
What hurts more, the younger or the older, because honestly,
I could see both.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
The younger because.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I'm always trying to come off way cooler than I am,
but the older because if you're calling me outdated and old.
Fuck so, I ride or die by my paper planner,
and if I do not have my paper calendar on
my life, I will, without a doubt fall apart. And
(16:03):
everybody in my life who knows what I use this
is like, you have a calendar on your phone, why
wouldn't you just put it in your phone.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
And I think that the Apple and I.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I'm a rider, die Apple girly, like I wish I
would have bought stocks and Macintosh like I can't afford
it now, But I am rider or die. Everything Apple,
except for fucking Apple Calendars is the worst app that
has ever existed in the history of the world. And
this is the hill that I am willing to die on.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I use it for like stuff with my wife, and
that's it. Outside of that, it doesn't do and it
doesn't serve any purpose. And that's only because it connects
to both of our phones.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Let me tell you why the program is.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Shit, okay, because every day that you have something on
your calendar, a dot is on the Your only notification
is a dot on a square. And guess what, every
day has a dot. How the fuck is that helpful.
I'm so passionate about this to be the serious, I.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Always just said, that's not helpful.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Yeah, because you don't get notification unless you're going to
look at your calendar. There's no like pop up unless
you said a reminder.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
And then everybody was like, okay, well just click on it, Meggan.
So now I can only see one day at a time.
I can't look at my week and just see what
the fuck is going on to manage them, I have
to now make a to do list for every single
day so I can see how to plan out my
extracurricular activities. We got there in the end, fuck you,
(17:27):
I gotcha, I gotcha.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Hey, buddy, fagot, I'm still like fuck you.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
But if I have a paper calendar, I can see
not only the day, the week, the month, maybe even
three months at a time. I can lay everything out clearly,
see what days are a little bit lighter, which days
are heavier. And I don't need the bullshit of when
you type in something wrong on your calendar, now you
got to go find where the fuck it was, move
it to the right time.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
You got a color code it, because does it work?
Is it?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Now?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
We're ah?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
No, give me a paper calendar and write it the
fuck down.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Now.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
I bring all of this up because yesterday was my
first day back after taking a couple of days off,
and I was going through my email and there was
a bunch of hey, are you available in this day? YadA,
YadA YadA. I have a backpack that I call like
my my. I will die if I don't have this
bag right, It's got my work computer in it, my planners,
(18:19):
the latest book that I'm reading, and then it has
medicines extra feminine prod like an umbrella just in case,
and he sort of snacks my medicine, like everything is
in this bag and I open it up and I realize.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I don't have my paper calendar.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I have taken it out to go to the other
person who makes fun of me for this, who's younger
than me, my therapist's office. I grabbed it out of
my backpack to go to my therapist's office and he's
always like, oh my god, you're so fucking old because
I pull it out to write down when our next
appointment is every every session, and he just starts to laugh,
and I go, fuck you, what days do you have open?
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I uh.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I realize that I don't have it, and I start
to panic and I'm like, you know what, you threw
it in the back seat.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
It's in the backseat of the car. It's fine, go
to my car.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Can't find it anywhere, And I go, if I have
lost this is my life over?
Speaker 3 (19:07):
No, it's clearly not.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
But I have all of my hair appointments scheduled through December.
In this thing, I have doctors appointments that are monthly.
I have therapists appointments in there, I have work appointments.
And the fact that it would take me so many
hours to figure out all of my stuff and get
it back on this calendar would just be so annoying.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
So I go to my car. It's not my car.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Oh no, my butthole drops. I'm like, immediately, fuck.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Me, this is going to take forever to replace.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
And I called my brother stayed at his place this week,
and I go, maybe I took it out at the car.
Maybe I set it down somewhere in his car. He
can't find it anywhere. I live forty minutes from the station. Currently,
I have forty minute drive back to my apartment, where
I'm like, I hope to God that I can find
this somewhere in my apartment. Tell me why it was
in the bottom of my dirty laundry hamper. I have
(20:02):
no idea how it got there, no clue how it
got there. I did find it, thank God. But everybody
in my life makes fun of me for needing and
living by my paper plannery.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I feel like everybody's got that thing though, that like
it just hold like you're holding on to it forever.
Like the paper planners. I still use post it notes
at the house when keeping like, like if I'm going
to keep a message for somebody like this isn't like
high school, like I can I can text the person
or there's an easier way to but I still do that.
(20:37):
I still to this day do that, and I don't
want to change it. I like it. I like the way.
You know, there's probably a simple, simpler option. There's probably
a tech savvy option. I want to do it, and
I think everybody's got that thing. They're like, no, I'm
not gonna I'm not gonna stop doing it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
So I say, to all the people who judge me,
you're the worst people.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I've ever met in my life.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
No, they're yeah, well I'm not saying I'm not judging you,
but I'm just saying, so, you're the worst.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
And the second thing I want to say is I
think if more people used paper planners and this is
so old and I do not care, the more you
would realize that all of the like digital versions are
so bad.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
It's not funny.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
M Yeah, you should write this ran down on a
fax and you should fax it to us, and let.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
If I knew how to use a fax machine, I
would do like I would just fax you a middle finger.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Side though wire facts machine so fucking hard? Why are
they so high goddamn hard to use?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
And especially the generation that used them aka Boomers, not
knowing how to learn anything else. I'm like, if you
figured out a goddamn fax machine, you could figure out
Microsoft Outlook.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
You know how to save this PDF? I believe in you.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
That's a great point because there is a generation right
before us that learned how to fucking fax something, and
I could not tell you. To this day, I have
to and I maybe had to fax one thing, maybe
one thing.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
I don't mail.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I don't remember the last time I mailed the fucking
bill ever, ever, ever, ever, there is not one thing
I will mail. And there was a while there that
I'm pretty sure my mom was like, Hey, could you
help me figure out this account on this app?
Speaker 4 (22:27):
And blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
You figured out a fucking fax machine and all this
other bullshit. You you trusted that when you send a
check off to a company that it just got paid.
There was no way to check your balance until they
sent you another fucking notice in the mail. You win
thirty days, yes, two months before, sometimes before you even
got to notice that you hadn't paid your bill.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Broh, okay, do that.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I know that I just shit on technology, But let's
talk about all the great things, because sometimes I think
about how I don't know how people survived. And I
think banking is like a big one, right, Like I've
just paid my rent today, I had to go see
what my rent costs moving into my checking account, so
I immediately leave the account once I paid it. Yet
like I can't imagine having to balance a check book
(23:12):
and how stressful that would be. And then if a
check bounce and then you don't know and you've already
taken the goods.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
That is so incredibly stressed.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Or what did people do before navigation? And I know
what you're gonna say, map quest, I got it, Okay,
Google Maps, we did that too. But every time there
was construction, I remember the curse words, the litany of
curse words that came out of Scott mixed mouth, going,
how do we find the detour to get back to
where I need to get so that I can stay
(23:38):
with this map?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Or what or what about uh, just going to somebody's
house instead of calling them or not knowing where they were,
or say, you have plans with somebody, but you planned
it like three weeks ago or whatever. Right, you can't
text them to be like, hey, are we still good
for today? You just hope that that person is going
to remember and still show up. Otherwise you could call
(24:01):
their house, but they have to be home. The only
way you could talk to somebody in an emergency situation
even is to hope that they were at their house.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Dude, when my phone dies in public, it like literally
freaks me the fuck out.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
I'm like, what am I supposed to do if there's
an emergency?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
There are no public phones even like calling collect and
stuff like, there are no pay phones anymore. And then
I don't know about you, Mike, I haven't carried cash
in years.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Oh no, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
I don't ever if there's truly an emergency, what do
I always use? I use Apple Pay on my phone
if the phone is dead, how the fuck do I
get home?
Speaker 3 (24:36):
How do you call an uber? How do you pay
for a taxi? How do you like? What do you do?
Speaker 4 (24:42):
I don't know even even back to the maps, thing too.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
What if you were about to run out of gas
and you don't know where a gas station is?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Where?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
What are you supposed to do? What are you supposed
to do? Like you're in the town, you're in a town.
I'm not talking like you're on a highway, but you're
in a town. You're in a city, and you're driving
through from city to city to city or whatever.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
What do you do? I don't know where the fucker
gas station would be. I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I always just have a find the nearest gas station
on an app.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
So I moved to Detroit in the past year, and
today after I leave work, I'm heading to a Joeanne Fabrics.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
I've never been to a Joeann Fabrics in this area.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Think about before, like would you just drive around and
stop at gas stations and say do you know where?
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Like how would you get there?
Speaker 1 (25:25):
No? And side note, did you write in your your
calendar that you're going to Jilan?
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Fuck yourself?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
And I was like I was gonna follow that up
with how did you win an argument? Because now every
time I want to win an argument, I know Google
has my back, But like, did you have to carry
the latest edition of Encyclopedia Britannica and then go hold
the fuck up, and I'm cursing a lot this podcast.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
I don't know why I'm so hyped.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I'm sorry, hold on, and then go like find it
in the encyclopedia.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yeah, yeah, because if you didn't know, Yeah, if you like,
what are the ingredient and bread?
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Oh, I don't know, I'm pretty sure you could.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
You could literally say, oh, I think there's pieces of
lego and bread, and everybody would go no, way, you're
fucking crazy, and you go no, I'm dead serious, and
you go, well, I guess I have to. If one
other person, if there were three people in the room
and one other person wait, no, there really is legos
and bread, that third person would go, well, I guess
there's legos and bread.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
I didn't know that, but geece must be.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
I also think we've become too reliant on technology because
my brother does this thing now where when I say fight,
I love a stupid debate that means nothing, right, like
it is my favorite thing in the entire world.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
What did we fight about today?
Speaker 2 (26:39):
We thought about something on the show today and everybody
was like, that was so silly. I'm like, those are
my favorite, like nobody's right, nobody's wrong, it doesn't matter,
but it's fun to be passionate about something stupid.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
But yeah, yeah, I know what you mean exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Like my brother and I did this with Marvel Movies
the other day and talking about like what is the
better franchise? Is a DC or is it marveul and
breaking down like well, box office ticket sales versus serious
versus coming, Like that's where it's at. Well, my brother
and I were talking about DC versus Marvel, and I
was trying to look something up and he slapped my
(27:13):
phone out of my hand and he goes, Megan, we
have to remember how to remember things. It's so easy
to not store any information anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah, and I think this is a speaking of story information.
Mandy has a good point. What about how to remember
somebody's number? You just remembered their number.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Brou The numbers I still remember from my childhood is
in said, I can tell you because nobody changed their
cell phone numbers. My best friend's phone number that I've
known since fifth grade, I still know her number because
I use it to sign up for all of the
text lists that.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
I don't want. I said straight to her, she hates me.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Still know my dad's, my brother's number, all that my
house phone number. I remember all the phone numbers or
my friend's houses. Could not tell you a single number
past like two thousand and three.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah, same, same, same. I knew my house phone that
was it, That was it. But somehow I but when
I was a kid, I knew all the everybody's house
phone number.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Right, Okay, what was the first like first digits in
your because okay, we're old. We grew up before area codes,
but there were like codes.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
That kind of kept you in a region.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
And where I grew up, Sylvania had a few of them,
but in my neighborhood, we all had the same like
first three numbers.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
You remember what yours were?
Speaker 4 (28:35):
You didn't have you didn't have area codes.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Shut up.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
I know that you're older than me, and I know
that we didn't have area code.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
We had area codes, but like I also grew up
in a time where you didn't need to dial in
area code.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Uh, that's not We're not the same on that one.
I've always had an area code my entire life. It's
always been six one six.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Now I have to google when area codes were introduced
because I remember when.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
I read Time Traveler. I feel like I feel like
you're making this up. There's so high is Ohio? Okay?
Are they good? You guys good? I feel like you're
a little behind.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Don't get me started, because I promise you, like every
residential number in Slovenia started with the same three numbers,
and then every like business started with a different set
of three numbers.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Hold on, area codes have always been around you.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
You always had.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
No, No, I promise you.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
No, it was like cell phones. There are too many
phone numbers.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
No, area codes have always been around.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
No, No, but.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
You didn't always have to dial them. They've always been
They've always been around.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
That is what I was saying.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
No, you were saying that area codes have just been invented,
like recently. Six one six has always been the area
code for West Michigan. Do you want me to have
you Google?
Speaker 3 (30:02):
I don't want to tell you.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Oh, it was right, it was correct.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
It was nineteen forty seven.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
But you didn't have to dial them.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
But you have to dial them.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
No, if you had, if you had a number from
that same area code, No, you didn't have to dial them.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
My screen on TikTok okay hold.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
On if you didn't have to if you were in
a different city. So if you were in the city
that didn't have that area code, yes, you had to
dial them, because otherwise it would only dial that area code.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Bro Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Same with your cell phone number if you had If
you dial a cell phone number, you have to put
the area code.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
But you.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
You always had it. No, you did it, you did, okay.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
So the area code Pirsylvania is four one nine, Okay,
So we always had to do four to one nine
and then I right, I'll give the first three numbers
of my childhood phone number, so it was always four
one nine.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
You could make anything up. You don't have to tell
me what your chriving.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Okay, that's a good point. So five five five, or
you gave me.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
The last four of your social Security I think you
need that to tell me. I don't say that, okay.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
So area code was four and one nine. First three
numbers of my phone number were five to five to five.
You did not have to dial when I was a kid,
four one nine, five five five. You could just dial
five five five five five five five.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yes, But if you were in a different city. If
you were in a different city, you would have to
dial that number.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
How often as a child was in a different fucking
city needed to call the operator and say, can you
please fucking connect me?
Speaker 2 (31:43):
In the country code was one?
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Got it?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
You never there was, But the area codes have always
been the thing. You just didn't have to use them
because you were always in the city. You don't have
to if you were in the city today if you
called from your number now is your number, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Is your number two four eight or is it four one?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
There's an okay, so you would if you called a
if you called my number, you're gonna have to use
six one six because there is a number that's five
five five, blah blah blah blah blah. You're gonna have
to use the area go because they're two separate cities.
As a kid, no, you didn't because you were still
in that same city. Same as if my number is
the six one six number, so anything from six one
(32:23):
six I don't have to dial the area code. But
if my number was a two three one number area code,
I would have to dial six one six first because
it would immediately call the two three one version of
that number.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
But area codes were not invented five years ago.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
No, that was that was nineteen forty seven.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
That's correction.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
But again, what did people do before Google?
Speaker 1 (32:45):
What?
Speaker 3 (32:46):
What did people do? What did they do?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
You?
Speaker 4 (32:51):
Yeah, you went back to a different childhood. You went back.
You were back six almost.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
I promise God, dammit. I went to kindergarten and they
teach you how you spell your name and what your
address is, and your phone and your mom and dad's name.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
It never said four one nine.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
It just said was your school and was.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Your school in four one nine? Yeah, but then you
didn't need it. Then you didn't need it.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
I don't believe you.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Yes, it's true, because if your school was not in
a four one nine area code, then you would need it.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
But your you learn you are code wrong.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
You know what, if I didn't have Google, I wouldn't
just be like, oh, okay, you're right, Okay, I guess so,
but we'll google it.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
Lies.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
You lie, ask your school lies. That's how you went
by the way. That's how you went an argument before Google.
It's whoever went lies the longest was usually the person
that whoever just would not give up on it usually was.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
The person that won.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
You're wrong, No, but that would make you wrong to
think that I'm wrong.
Speaker 6 (34:06):
Sure, because even in my comments, everybody's fighting, so like I,
I don't know who's right, Like I am being gas
lit into feelings, So right and wrong right now?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Toledo, Yes, Talito does have multiple area codes, so does
West Michigan, but you still need them if you're dialing
from an area code, that's not that correct that same
area code.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
So if I'm dialing a two three one number.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
And I'm dialing from a six one six number, if
I dial that number without using the area code, it's
going to dial me to the six one sixth number.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
But your little figures little, the pettiest type I've ever heard.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
If I dial from my six one sixth number, but
I dialed your phone number without an area code, it's
going to give me the six one sixth version of
that number.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Hmmm, here's what I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
So I googled when did you have to start using
area codes?
Speaker 6 (35:08):
Right?
Speaker 1 (35:09):
And the SEC.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Mandated a ten digit dialing for local calls in some areas.
Starting one was twenty twenty one April of twenty twenty one,
then it was October of twenty twenty one in different states,
and then February fifth of next year of Verizon is
going to require ten digit dialing for all calls, including
within the same area code.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
I don't know, I am. I don't know what any
of that means. I don't think any of that's real.
I don't either.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
I don't even understand.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
I don't. I don't get.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
It what I've always understood. And again, I don't know
if this is right. I'm fucking yelling and I haven't
googled one single thing.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Is that? Since?
Speaker 1 (35:50):
For okay, for example, our our lines here in the studio, right,
m hmm, it's a six one six number, six one six, seven,
seven oh eight one oh four. If I dial from
our number, but I was instead of putting the area
code in, but I just dialed seven to seven oh
eight one oh four. It's going to dial a six
one six number. But if I was to put an
(36:11):
area code that was also two three one seven, seven
oh eight one oh four, it would dial that number,
which is a different number completely. Even though it's the
same phone number, it's a different number because the area
because somebody out there has a seven seven.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Oh eight one oh four phone number.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
There's too many phones in the world for there not
to be, but they don't have the area code that's
the same.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
Then why what's the point of area codes? Then? If
we all have separate numbers, what's the fucking point of
area codes?
Speaker 1 (36:41):
No?
Speaker 3 (36:42):
I knew that there was a point. I just thought
it was because I.
Speaker 6 (36:49):
De that it was because people started getting exell phones
and we needed more numbers.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
I mean, when you only get one, there's only one
seven to seven oh eight one a four number, four
six one six, But then there's also one for two,
three one and three one three. So if you dial
three one, three, seven seven.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Eight, because there's a lot of numbers now, But think, okay,
think back all the way to nineteen ninety eight. We
have a lot more phone numbers now because everybody's carrying
around a personal phone number.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
But you still had to have the area code. But
why same reason?
Speaker 3 (37:30):
But there were just enough digits like.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Yes, but we switched out, we switched out house phones
for cell phones. Boy, No, I know you said that
we didn't need area codes we had any numbers there. Yes,
we still used area codes. Then, we definitely still used
area codes. Then you had to. You always have to.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Otherwise you're gonna get a different version of that number.
All right, I'm done, i'bdub, I'm a'bde abdad. I don't
want to talk anybody.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
I don't want to.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
Cave follow me, follow the slightly messy show.
Speaker 1 (38:05):

Speaker 3 (38:19):
The more you're right, I just don't want to say it.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
So go ahead and say the other version of what
I'm not right or I'm right, Well, you're not wrong,
Fuck.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I have a problem, Michael, and I am so sorry
that you faced part of it.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
There is one joy of being.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Single with no kids, and it's I have no real responsibilities.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
This is the Slightly Messy Show with Mike and Meghan.
State means a.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Messy show, messy, messy, Mike and Megan.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
It's a slightly messy show with Mike and Maigan.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
That little girl right there, we started this podcast two
years ago.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Megan, she sounds so little.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
That little girl now told me while we were school
close shopping this last weekend that she wants a little
less not completely gone, a little less rainbow than unicorns,
because she wants to be a little more grown up
this year. No, and I walked around the corner. I wait,
she's ten now, going into fifth grade. Yeah, she wants
(01:02):
to be. She's constantly telling me Dad, I'm becoming a
woman now, so I have to do this and Dad,
I'm becoming a woman now. Oh yeah, my baby, oh yeah,
oh yeah. So now my focus obviously is not my son.
It's only five and will stay five for a few years,
forever forever. It is the Slightly mess Show. My name
(01:25):
is Mike Long with the Meghan weekdays. Every Wednesday, new
podcast and right a lot of the Wednesdays that should
be the.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Tagline A lot of the Wednesdays.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Yeah, So I, uh, while we're school close shopping, I
am talking to my wife and my wife and I
go back and forth on' like my wife believes in
Ali believes in crystals, she believes in like manifesting, she
believes in all of that, and like part of me
is like one foot in like I, okay, I'm sort
(02:01):
of on board, like certain things happen and I'm like,
oh okay, And she has this theory that I have this.
I don't know what she calls it. There's some astrologi
astrology type term for it where it's like not sort
of where I can sense like things, I can sense
(02:22):
things on people. I can sense like I just you
could just feel it. I don't think it's just me.
I think everybody has this to an extent. I think
it's also like being empathetic to an extent. But I
also think that it's uh that like there are times
where I'll say something and I'll bring it up to
my wife and I'm like, I don't know why this
is weird.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
This situation is weird, and but it's weird.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
And I've always just said it's overthinking, like right, because
it's just weird. Something's weird about this, and it's always
just been like, oh, it's overthinking. But now, after what
happened here in the SNX studio, I'm convinced that I'm
basically Spider Man, that I basically have super hero powers
that I cannot explain. But remember the last was it
(03:06):
three weeks now, I've been like, hey, the heat's broken
or something in here, something's wrong with the heat in here,
and nobody will address.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
It, right because it was so hot.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
It's still so hot in this fucking studio, still so
goddamn hot in this fucking studio, and I'm like, somebody
should address it, somebody should say something, somebody should do something.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
No, I think it's fine. No, everybody's like, oh I
think it's good.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Oh, I think it's good this last weekend because the
heat did not get addressed. And mind you, this has
happened many, many, many, many times, but for some reason,
I just was like, hey, somebody should fix this.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
It's not something's not right here.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
It froze up somewhere, the ac had froze up, which
is why it was so hot in here. And it
created like a like an ice brick, like a huge
ice brick, and then that brick melted. Flooding are like
the this is for like people who don't work like radio,
but like where all of our it stuff is like
(04:04):
that entire room was flooded to the to the point
where it knocked out.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Two hole stations and blew out their hard drives.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Stop it bit the big stations here too, not like
just like a you know, like a prod studio, Like
the entire station was gone for an entire day and
they didn't know what to do. They had to like
run off of like playing songs like manually.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
It was a whole thing. And I'm just saying I
said it three weeks ago. Three weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
My spidy sense is kicked in and I said, something's
not right here. But nobody want to listen to me.
Nobody want to listen to me.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Do you walk around them like shoulders back, chest out,
little swag in the stet like.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I might do one of these stretches where we're like, oh, really,
I didn't know if anybody and so wish somebody had
brought that up I wish. I wish somebody had had said, hey,
it's super hot and it's still hot here, like it's not.
The problem hasn't been fig uh. And I took a picture. Oh,
I wonder if I can put it in here. I
took a picture of what the studio looked like because
(05:07):
it was such an emergency that they blew out the
ceilings and the uh. It was everywhere and nobody had
cleaned that up even. Let me see if I can
find it.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Oh my god, the absolute skills you have right now.
It's like you said on Tech Talk Live all day
every day because that was so fast, Mike, I know.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I know, Oh you know what.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
That's a picture of crystals, which is also kind of
interesting that I have a picture of crystals just like
ready to go?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Is that like your broad crystal? Which kind of crystal
is it?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Why? What is the deal with the broad crystal?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
I don't know what. To keep it close to your
son line.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Do you believe in that stuff or now? No, I
didn't think you did.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Everybody in my life does except for me, and I listen.
If it brings your calmness, peace, joy, whatever, I'm all
for it. But do I believe in the mystical powers
of rocks in your bra absolutely fucking dodge.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
So there's a guy that works in our building and
he he has a rock person like it has a
rock guy like has a person you go get his
and it's so so like he's always into like like
specific things. He's always got a thing he's into and
then he's overly into it. And so my wife and
him were like chatting about this, and he sent me
home with those those crystals that you just saw in
(06:22):
my picture. They're probably the size of a shoe, huge
crystals to bring home, and they're.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Like protection crystals.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
How much were they?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
I didn't pay for him.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I'm assuming a lot of money, but it was a
gift to my wife because they had such an infinity
for ah in affinity for these stonesd.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Alert Alert nord Alert.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
I can't imagine being at a point in my life
where I was like, if I only had rose courts,
my life would be fucking together, Like like, I can't
ever imagine being that. It always makes me laugh so hard.
You and I said on TikTok all the time, I'm
always in people's TikTok lives.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I love TikTok.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Live and every time I see one of those boards
with like a magnet on it, or people throwing bones
or whatever it is where you ask a question, Oh,
it's the bone one my favorite. If the bones cross,
it's yes, If they touch, it's maybe.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
If none of the bones grass, it's no.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
And they just pick up bones and they shake them
in their hands and they throw them.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
On the table.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
And I'm like, if you're getting your advice from some
old chicken bones on big life decisions, how how do
you rationalize that? Because I would love to have that
in my life where I'm like, you know what, trust
the chicken bones?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Well, I'm so Usually I'm my guide.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Or when there's just a hanging magnet and the person
is just constantly like throwing it and people are asking,
am I going to find love this year?
Speaker 3 (07:51):
Am I?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Like?
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Am I getting divorced?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
You're really gonna ask the magnet board if you're getting divorced,
like who married you? If you trust the magnet board,
what is going on in your life?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
If if not the magnet board, then who do I ask? Megan?
Who should I ask yourself?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Ask yourself and go with your own thoughts and feelings,
and not whether or not a stick is gonna get
like point towards a word on a board with a magnet.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I've made questionable decisions my entire life. I can't even
say decisions. I've made questionable decisions my entire life. I
don't trust me. I'd rather ask a magnet let the
rocks decide.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Every time I see crystals.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
For sale, there's always one that's like nineteen hundred dollars,
and I just want to be like, in what fucking
world is that rock worth nearly two grand? It is
a rock, you guys, a rock.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
It's so deep at my house that, like my wife
has these little jars with certain types of sands or
rocks or whatever in them, hidden throughout the house, so
they're like no bad stuff can come in and no
bad stuff can come out. And you know what I've
realized is we haven't had a lot of company recently.
I'm wondering if it's working.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I also have no room to talk, because again, if
it brings you peace and joy, then I'm so happy
for you. Sure I was raised a Catholic. Do we
have a priest come in with special water?
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Of course?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
And he sprayed around the whole house to get the
demons out. So, like, you know, if it's your thing,
it's your thing, right.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I never understood the rocks. I don't understand any of it. Really,
I want to. I'm open minded enough, and I think
you are to to to like hear you out and
like say the same. If you're If it's your thing,
go ahead and do it.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
It's fine.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I might not wear crystals around my neck, but if
my wife wants to wear earrings that have crystals in them,
I don't.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
I don't care. Yeah, but I'm interested now, Like, what
is the what is the reason?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I feel like you are one step away from being
the people that don't wear shoes? Okay, have you seen
the couples that don't wear shoes in public? And then
they walk around and they're like, it's the healthiest I've
ever been, And I'm like, I'm I'm I'm so happy
that you're healthy, But your feet make me gag.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
There's some NFL player and I forget his name. He
might play for the Chiefs that is does not wear shoes.
It was just a story in the news. Does not
wear shoes at all, like unless he has to, he says,
shoes are a tool, and he only uses them when
he has to. He also doesn't eat, hasn't eating veggies
in the air. There's a bunch of other weird stuff.
(10:26):
I forget what he does. But he looks like sideshow
Bob from the Simpsons.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
And and he is. He's incredibly interesting.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
I want to hear that logic because I'd love to
hear somebody who's like, I want to be grounded.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I want to be one with the earth.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Wait, this food comes from the earth. I will not
ingest it.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
I don't know what there's a there's a hold on.
Let me find him. I'll find him. But I kind
of get the shoe thing. I don't think I'm gonna
be in the shoe thing.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I kind of get the shoe thing only because I
don't like to wear shoes. I hate to you ever
walk around in the in the grass of the sand
without shoes on?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Not particularly?
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Would you wear shoes around the house or No?
Speaker 3 (11:05):
I don't allow shoes in my house.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Okay, So what's the difference then, Uh, I.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Wash my floors. I think that's the difference.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
I have chemical cleaners versus I've seen what people do
in these streets and I don't need that on my
skin because people go with your feet it's it's fine,
it's the outdoors. And I'm like, that's still your skin.
Your skin absorbs stuff. I don't want my skin absorbing
the dust from the floors of the grocery store.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
You know what I mean. Like, I don't need that
in my life.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Okay, I get like in a grocery store or even
in a even in a like on the streets, but
like in the grass, like sure, sure.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
But I'm talking about the people that go from toe shoes.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
To no shoes.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Like if you're a if you're in toe shoes, I
just know within twelve months you're not gonna wear shoes
outdoors unless you're in an airport.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I can't do toe tow Shoes to me are weirder
than barefoot, Like it's something about I don't know. I
know it's weirder than me because I barely can do
the finger gloves.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
A kid. So it's the skysteal. Did you figure it out?
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yeah, he's a receiver for the Bills now and he
has any a vegetable in three years.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
He doesn't wear shoes.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
He goes to training camp and does all the regular things,
and when he has to he wears them or whatever.
But it's just he feels that it's a tool and
it's not natural to not wear shoes or to wear shoes.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I mean, did he explain the vegetable part.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
No, No, there's literally no explanation to that. It's just
his his habits that he's picked up. He's a vegan.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
How are you a vegan with no vegetables?
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Wait? No, excuse me.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
He's a vegan on game days because and I quote
coach told him that hungry dogs run faster.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Wait, so is it just fruits and water?
Speaker 1 (13:08):
He says, I don't eat vegetables anymore because it's not right.
He thinks cats steal your soul. He does not cut
his hair. This is all things. And I don't know
if he's just doing this. I mean, this seems to
be a common not a common thing. It seems to
be something he does all the time. It's not like
he just made all this stuff up today, Like this
(13:29):
is this is who this guy is.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
He's a receiver. For his name is Mac Collins Bill's Mafia.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Please light a table and throw him on it.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
I give that man a vegetable.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I'm truly worried about his bone density.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Yeah, oh that's a great point. How does he not
get hurt?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Water and fruits.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I mean, he's avoiding the scurvy and I'll give him that,
and you know what, in today's day and age, relatively
large threat. But I don't understand the vegan with no
vegetables because I was vegan for a very long time,
like a very long time. I could never imagine doing
that with no vegetables.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Yeah, I couldn't either.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
He does mention that he feels more grounded due to
the release of flea of free electrons from his body.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
That's why he did lagoons and fruits.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I get beans and fruits.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
That's what I could do on game Dan, Baby, I
would not want to be in that locker room if
all he was eating was beans and fruits.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah, absolutely pathetic.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Love the show. You guys are doing a great job
with Mike and Megan.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
It does seem like it would be the most disgusting
thing in the world, the most disgusting thing in the world. Okay,
so it's a slightly messy show, Megan and Mike and Megan,
you were.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Just telling me that you were kind of getting roasted
here recently.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Oh god, is it a day of the week that
end zone?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Somebody's making fun.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Of me, Hey, what happened?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I am a rider or die person in the way
that makes me so old it's not even funny. And
I have had multiple people in my life lately tell
me that I am using outdated technology, and yes, I
am using the word technology in this scenario, and that
I needed to get with the times. One of the
(15:24):
people that told me this much younger than me. One
of the people a little bit older than me, And
so there's a range of people making fun of me.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I just want to make that part clear.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
What hurts more, the younger or the older, because honestly,
I could see both.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
The younger because.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
I'm always trying to come off way cooler than I am,
but the older because if you're calling me outdated and old.
Fuck so, I ride or die by my paper planner,
and if I do not have my paper calendar on
my life, I will, without a doubt fall apart. And
(16:03):
everybody in my life who knows what I use this
is like, you have a calendar on your phone, why
wouldn't you just put it in your phone.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
And I think that the Apple and I.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I'm a rider, die Apple girly, like I wish I
would have bought stocks and Macintosh like I can't afford
it now, But I am rider or die. Everything Apple,
except for fucking Apple Calendars is the worst app that
has ever existed in the history of the world. And
this is the hill that I am willing to die on.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I use it for like stuff with my wife, and
that's it. Outside of that, it doesn't do and it
doesn't serve any purpose. And that's only because it connects
to both of our phones.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Let me tell you why the program is.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Shit, okay, because every day that you have something on
your calendar, a dot is on the Your only notification
is a dot on a square. And guess what, every
day has a dot. How the fuck is that helpful.
I'm so passionate about this to be the serious, I.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Always just said, that's not helpful.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Yeah, because you don't get notification unless you're going to
look at your calendar. There's no like pop up unless
you said a reminder.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
And then everybody was like, okay, well just click on it, Meggan.
So now I can only see one day at a time.
I can't look at my week and just see what
the fuck is going on to manage them, I have
to now make a to do list for every single
day so I can see how to plan out my
extracurricular activities. We got there in the end, fuck you,
(17:27):
I gotcha, I gotcha.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Hey, buddy, fagot, I'm still like fuck you.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
But if I have a paper calendar, I can see
not only the day, the week, the month, maybe even
three months at a time. I can lay everything out clearly,
see what days are a little bit lighter, which days
are heavier. And I don't need the bullshit of when
you type in something wrong on your calendar, now you
got to go find where the fuck it was, move
it to the right time.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
You got a color code it, because does it work?
Is it?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Now?
Speaker 3 (17:54):
We're ah?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
No, give me a paper calendar and write it the
fuck down.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Now.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
I bring all of this up because yesterday was my
first day back after taking a couple of days off,
and I was going through my email and there was
a bunch of hey, are you available in this day? YadA,
YadA YadA. I have a backpack that I call like
my my. I will die if I don't have this
bag right, It's got my work computer in it, my planners,
(18:19):
the latest book that I'm reading, and then it has
medicines extra feminine prod like an umbrella just in case,
and he sort of snacks my medicine, like everything is
in this bag and I open it up and I realize.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I don't have my paper calendar.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
I have taken it out to go to the other
person who makes fun of me for this, who's younger
than me, my therapist's office. I grabbed it out of
my backpack to go to my therapist's office and he's
always like, oh my god, you're so fucking old because
I pull it out to write down when our next
appointment is every every session, and he just starts to laugh,
and I go, fuck you, what days do you have open?
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I uh.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I realize that I don't have it, and I start
to panic and I'm like, you know what, you threw
it in the back seat.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
It's in the backseat of the car. It's fine, go
to my car.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Can't find it anywhere, And I go, if I have
lost this is my life over?
Speaker 3 (19:07):
No, it's clearly not.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
But I have all of my hair appointments scheduled through December.
In this thing, I have doctors appointments that are monthly.
I have therapists appointments in there, I have work appointments.
And the fact that it would take me so many
hours to figure out all of my stuff and get
it back on this calendar would just be so annoying.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
So I go to my car. It's not my car.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Oh no, my butthole drops. I'm like, immediately, fuck.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Me, this is going to take forever to replace.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
And I called my brother stayed at his place this week,
and I go, maybe I took it out at the car.
Maybe I set it down somewhere in his car. He
can't find it anywhere. I live forty minutes from the station. Currently,
I have forty minute drive back to my apartment, where
I'm like, I hope to God that I can find
this somewhere in my apartment. Tell me why it was
in the bottom of my dirty laundry hamper. I have
(20:02):
no idea how it got there, no clue how it
got there. I did find it, thank God. But everybody
in my life makes fun of me for needing and
living by my paper plannery.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I feel like everybody's got that thing though, that like
it just hold like you're holding on to it forever.
Like the paper planners. I still use post it notes
at the house when keeping like, like if I'm going
to keep a message for somebody like this isn't like
high school, like I can I can text the person
or there's an easier way to but I still do that.
(20:37):
I still to this day do that, and I don't
want to change it. I like it. I like the way.
You know, there's probably a simple, simpler option. There's probably
a tech savvy option. I want to do it, and
I think everybody's got that thing. They're like, no, I'm
not gonna I'm not gonna stop doing it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
So I say, to all the people who judge me,
you're the worst people.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I've ever met in my life.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
No, they're yeah, well I'm not saying I'm not judging you,
but I'm just saying, so, you're the worst.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
And the second thing I want to say is I
think if more people used paper planners and this is
so old and I do not care, the more you
would realize that all of the like digital versions are
so bad.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
It's not funny.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
M Yeah, you should write this ran down on a
fax and you should fax it to us, and let.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
If I knew how to use a fax machine, I
would do like I would just fax you a middle finger.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Side though wire facts machine so fucking hard? Why are
they so high goddamn hard to use?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
And especially the generation that used them aka Boomers, not
knowing how to learn anything else. I'm like, if you
figured out a goddamn fax machine, you could figure out
Microsoft Outlook.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
You know how to save this PDF? I believe in you.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
That's a great point because there is a generation right
before us that learned how to fucking fax something, and
I could not tell you. To this day, I have
to and I maybe had to fax one thing, maybe
one thing.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
I don't mail.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I don't remember the last time I mailed the fucking
bill ever, ever, ever, ever, there is not one thing
I will mail. And there was a while there that
I'm pretty sure my mom was like, Hey, could you
help me figure out this account on this app?
Speaker 4 (22:27):
And blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
You figured out a fucking fax machine and all this
other bullshit. You you trusted that when you send a
check off to a company that it just got paid.
There was no way to check your balance until they
sent you another fucking notice in the mail. You win
thirty days, yes, two months before, sometimes before you even
got to notice that you hadn't paid your bill.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Broh, okay, do that.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I know that I just shit on technology, But let's
talk about all the great things, because sometimes I think
about how I don't know how people survived. And I
think banking is like a big one, right, Like I've
just paid my rent today, I had to go see
what my rent costs moving into my checking account, so
I immediately leave the account once I paid it. Yet
like I can't imagine having to balance a check book
(23:12):
and how stressful that would be. And then if a
check bounce and then you don't know and you've already
taken the goods.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
That is so incredibly stressed.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Or what did people do before navigation? And I know
what you're gonna say, map quest, I got it, Okay,
Google Maps, we did that too. But every time there
was construction, I remember the curse words, the litany of
curse words that came out of Scott mixed mouth, going,
how do we find the detour to get back to
where I need to get so that I can stay
(23:38):
with this map?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Or what or what about uh, just going to somebody's
house instead of calling them or not knowing where they were,
or say, you have plans with somebody, but you planned
it like three weeks ago or whatever. Right, you can't
text them to be like, hey, are we still good
for today? You just hope that that person is going
to remember and still show up. Otherwise you could call
(24:01):
their house, but they have to be home. The only
way you could talk to somebody in an emergency situation
even is to hope that they were at their house.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Dude, when my phone dies in public, it like literally
freaks me the fuck out.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
I'm like, what am I supposed to do if there's
an emergency?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
There are no public phones even like calling collect and
stuff like, there are no pay phones anymore. And then
I don't know about you, Mike, I haven't carried cash
in years.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Oh no, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
I don't ever if there's truly an emergency, what do
I always use? I use Apple Pay on my phone
if the phone is dead, how the fuck do I
get home?
Speaker 3 (24:36):
How do you call an uber? How do you pay
for a taxi? How do you like? What do you do?
Speaker 4 (24:42):
I don't know even even back to the maps, thing too.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
What if you were about to run out of gas
and you don't know where a gas station is?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Where?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
What are you supposed to do? What are you supposed
to do? Like you're in the town, you're in a town.
I'm not talking like you're on a highway, but you're
in a town. You're in a city, and you're driving
through from city to city to city or whatever.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
What do you do? I don't know where the fucker
gas station would be. I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
I always just have a find the nearest gas station
on an app.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
So I moved to Detroit in the past year, and
today after I leave work, I'm heading to a Joeanne Fabrics.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
I've never been to a Joeann Fabrics in this area.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Think about before, like would you just drive around and
stop at gas stations and say do you know where?
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Like how would you get there?
Speaker 1 (25:25):
No? And side note, did you write in your your
calendar that you're going to Jilan?
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Fuck yourself?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
And I was like I was gonna follow that up
with how did you win an argument? Because now every
time I want to win an argument, I know Google
has my back, But like, did you have to carry
the latest edition of Encyclopedia Britannica and then go hold
the fuck up, and I'm cursing a lot this podcast.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
I don't know why I'm so hyped.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I'm sorry, hold on, and then go like find it
in the encyclopedia.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yeah, yeah, because if you didn't know, Yeah, if you like,
what are the ingredient and bread?
Speaker 4 (26:01):
Oh, I don't know, I'm pretty sure you could.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
You could literally say, oh, I think there's pieces of
lego and bread, and everybody would go no, way, you're
fucking crazy, and you go no, I'm dead serious, and
you go, well, I guess I have to. If one
other person, if there were three people in the room
and one other person wait, no, there really is legos
and bread, that third person would go, well, I guess
there's legos and bread.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
I didn't know that, but geece must be.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
I also think we've become too reliant on technology because
my brother does this thing now where when I say fight,
I love a stupid debate that means nothing, right, like
it is my favorite thing in the entire world.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
What did we fight about today?
Speaker 2 (26:39):
We thought about something on the show today and everybody
was like, that was so silly. I'm like, those are
my favorite, like nobody's right, nobody's wrong, it doesn't matter,
but it's fun to be passionate about something stupid.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
But yeah, yeah, I know what you mean exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Like my brother and I did this with Marvel Movies
the other day and talking about like what is the
better franchise? Is a DC or is it marveul and
breaking down like well, box office ticket sales versus serious
versus coming, Like that's where it's at. Well, my brother
and I were talking about DC versus Marvel, and I
was trying to look something up and he slapped my
(27:13):
phone out of my hand and he goes, Megan, we
have to remember how to remember things. It's so easy
to not store any information anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah, and I think this is a speaking of story information.
Mandy has a good point. What about how to remember
somebody's number? You just remembered their number.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Brou The numbers I still remember from my childhood is
in said, I can tell you because nobody changed their
cell phone numbers. My best friend's phone number that I've
known since fifth grade, I still know her number because
I use it to sign up for all of the
text lists that.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
I don't want. I said straight to her, she hates me.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Still know my dad's, my brother's number, all that my
house phone number. I remember all the phone numbers or
my friend's houses. Could not tell you a single number
past like two thousand and three.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah, same, same, same. I knew my house phone that
was it, That was it. But somehow I but when
I was a kid, I knew all the everybody's house
phone number.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Right, Okay, what was the first like first digits in
your because okay, we're old. We grew up before area codes,
but there were like codes.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
That kind of kept you in a region.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
And where I grew up, Sylvania had a few of them,
but in my neighborhood, we all had the same like
first three numbers.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
You remember what yours were?
Speaker 4 (28:35):
You didn't have you didn't have area codes.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Shut up.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
I know that you're older than me, and I know
that we didn't have area code.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
We had area codes, but like I also grew up
in a time where you didn't need to dial in
area code.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Uh, that's not We're not the same on that one.
I've always had an area code my entire life. It's
always been six one six.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Now I have to google when area codes were introduced
because I remember when.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
I read Time Traveler. I feel like I feel like
you're making this up. There's so high is Ohio? Okay?
Are they good? You guys good? I feel like you're
a little behind.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Don't get me started, because I promise you, like every
residential number in Slovenia started with the same three numbers,
and then every like business started with a different set
of three numbers.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Hold on, area codes have always been around you.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
You always had.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
No, No, I promise you.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
No, it was like cell phones. There are too many
phone numbers.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
No, area codes have always been around.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
No, No, but.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
You didn't always have to dial them. They've always been
They've always been around.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
That is what I was saying.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
No, you were saying that area codes have just been invented,
like recently. Six one six has always been the area
code for West Michigan. Do you want me to have
you Google?
Speaker 3 (30:02):
I don't want to tell you.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Oh, it was right, it was correct.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
It was nineteen forty seven.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
But you didn't have to dial them.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
But you have to dial them.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
No, if you had, if you had a number from
that same area code, No, you didn't have to dial them.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
My screen on TikTok okay hold.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
On if you didn't have to if you were in
a different city. So if you were in the city
that didn't have that area code, yes, you had to
dial them, because otherwise it would only dial that area code.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Bro Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Same with your cell phone number if you had If
you dial a cell phone number, you have to put
the area code.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
But you.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
You always had it. No, you did it, you did, okay.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
So the area code Pirsylvania is four one nine, Okay,
So we always had to do four to one nine
and then I right, I'll give the first three numbers
of my childhood phone number, so it was always four
one nine.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
You could make anything up. You don't have to tell
me what your chriving.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Okay, that's a good point. So five five five, or
you gave me.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
The last four of your social Security I think you
need that to tell me. I don't say that, okay.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
So area code was four and one nine. First three
numbers of my phone number were five to five to five.
You did not have to dial when I was a kid,
four one nine, five five five. You could just dial
five five five five five five five.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yes, But if you were in a different city. If
you were in a different city, you would have to
dial that number.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
How often as a child was in a different fucking
city needed to call the operator and say, can you
please fucking connect me?
Speaker 2 (31:43):
In the country code was one?
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Got it?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
You never there was, But the area codes have always
been the thing. You just didn't have to use them
because you were always in the city. You don't have
to if you were in the city today if you
called from your number now is your number, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
Is your number two four eight or is it four one?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
There's an okay, so you would if you called a
if you called my number, you're gonna have to use
six one six because there is a number that's five
five five, blah blah blah blah blah. You're gonna have
to use the area go because they're two separate cities.
As a kid, no, you didn't because you were still
in that same city. Same as if my number is
the six one six number, so anything from six one
(32:23):
six I don't have to dial the area code. But
if my number was a two three one number area code,
I would have to dial six one six first because
it would immediately call the two three one version of
that number.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
But area codes were not invented five years ago.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
No, that was that was nineteen forty seven.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
That's correction.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
But again, what did people do before Google?
Speaker 1 (32:45):
What?
Speaker 3 (32:46):
What did people do? What did they do?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
You?
Speaker 4 (32:51):
Yeah, you went back to a different childhood. You went back.
You were back six almost.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
I promise God, dammit. I went to kindergarten and they
teach you how you spell your name and what your
address is, and your phone and your mom and dad's name.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
It never said four one nine.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
It just said was your school and was.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Your school in four one nine? Yeah, but then you
didn't need it. Then you didn't need it.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
I don't believe you.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Yes, it's true, because if your school was not in
a four one nine area code, then you would need it.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
But your you learn you are code wrong.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
You know what, if I didn't have Google, I wouldn't
just be like, oh, okay, you're right, Okay, I guess so,
but we'll google it.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
Lies.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
You lie, ask your school lies. That's how you went
by the way. That's how you went an argument before Google.
It's whoever went lies the longest was usually the person
that whoever just would not give up on it usually was.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
The person that won.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
You're wrong, No, but that would make you wrong to
think that I'm wrong.
Speaker 6 (34:06):
Sure, because even in my comments, everybody's fighting, so like I,
I don't know who's right, Like I am being gas
lit into feelings, So right and wrong right now?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Toledo, Yes, Talito does have multiple area codes, so does
West Michigan, but you still need them if you're dialing
from an area code, that's not that correct that same
area code.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
So if I'm dialing a two three one number.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
And I'm dialing from a six one six number, if
I dial that number without using the area code, it's
going to dial me to the six one sixth number.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
But your little figures little, the pettiest type I've ever heard.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
If I dial from my six one sixth number, but
I dialed your phone number without an area code, it's
going to give me the six one sixth version of
that number.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Hmmm, here's what I don't understand.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
So I googled when did you have to start using
area codes?
Speaker 6 (35:08):
Right?
Speaker 1 (35:09):
And the SEC.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Mandated a ten digit dialing for local calls in some areas.
Starting one was twenty twenty one April of twenty twenty one,
then it was October of twenty twenty one in different states,
and then February fifth of next year of Verizon is
going to require ten digit dialing for all calls, including
within the same area code.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
I don't know, I am. I don't know what any
of that means. I don't think any of that's real.
I don't either.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
I don't even understand.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
I don't. I don't get.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
It what I've always understood. And again, I don't know
if this is right. I'm fucking yelling and I haven't
googled one single thing.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Is that? Since?
Speaker 1 (35:50):
For okay, for example, our our lines here in the studio, right,
m hmm, it's a six one six number, six one six, seven,
seven oh eight one oh four. If I dial from
our number, but I was instead of putting the area
code in, but I just dialed seven to seven oh
eight one oh four. It's going to dial a six
one six number. But if I was to put an
(36:11):
area code that was also two three one seven, seven
oh eight one oh four, it would dial that number,
which is a different number completely. Even though it's the
same phone number, it's a different number because the area
because somebody out there has a seven seven.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Oh eight one oh four phone number.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
There's too many phones in the world for there not
to be, but they don't have the area code that's
the same.
Speaker 4 (36:36):
Then why what's the point of area codes? Then? If
we all have separate numbers, what's the fucking point of
area codes?
Speaker 1 (36:41):
No?
Speaker 3 (36:42):
I knew that there was a point. I just thought
it was because I.
Speaker 6 (36:49):
De that it was because people started getting exell phones
and we needed more numbers.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
I mean, when you only get one, there's only one
seven to seven oh eight one a four number, four
six one six, But then there's also one for two,
three one and three one three. So if you dial
three one, three, seven seven.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Eight, because there's a lot of numbers now, But think, okay,
think back all the way to nineteen ninety eight. We
have a lot more phone numbers now because everybody's carrying
around a personal phone number.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
But you still had to have the area code. But
why same reason?
Speaker 3 (37:30):
But there were just enough digits like.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Yes, but we switched out, we switched out house phones
for cell phones. Boy, No, I know you said that
we didn't need area codes we had any numbers there. Yes,
we still used area codes. Then, we definitely still used
area codes. Then you had to. You always have to.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Otherwise you're gonna get a different version of that number.
All right, I'm done, i'bdub, I'm a'bde abdad. I don't
want to talk anybody.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
I don't want to.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
Cave follow me, follow the slightly messy show.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
One.
Speaker 4 (38:05):
I g at slightly messy show.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Somebody can dm us that works at a phone company.
I want Andrew fucking Bell on the telephone. I want
his great great great great great grandson granddaughter to call.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
And tell us my Google.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
The more you're right, I just don't want to say it.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
So go ahead and say the other version of what
I'm not right or I'm right, Well, you're not wrong,
