TD&L Donkey Show Podcast for Thursday - Console Wars

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Let me know when you're ready.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
I bet that's a good start.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
This is Tanner, Drew and Laura's Donkey Show, Donkey Show.

Speaker 4 (00:14):
Yeah, I feel the same way, man, what's happening. It's Tanner,
Drew and Laura's Donkey Show podcast. Oh heard online at
one of five nine in the brew dot com our
iHeartRadio app or wherever you listen to podcasts. I'm Tanner,
Drew's here, Laura's here, uh a beef water that's my name,
joining us on the pod today, and Marcus is of

(00:34):
course joining us from Eugene.

Speaker 5 (00:35):
What up, bro Yo going to be here? Miss?

Speaker 4 (00:40):
I've missed you lately. Marcus, we haven't. We haven't chatted
much lately. I haven't played games with you. I I
miss your I long for your embrace.

Speaker 6 (00:48):
Well, you know, it's it's been a little bit weird
for us here because I went to Tennessee for a week,
then Drew was out for you know, over in England,
and then we had the Labor Day holiday and everything.
It's just hasn't been a lot of podcasts. And I
miss you too. But you know, ever since you went
elitist PC master race on me and won't come back
to your lovable Xbox. I just don't know that we'll

(01:09):
ever get to game again.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
I don't know why you you went back to the Xbox,
you know, like once you go PC, you know you
can't go back.

Speaker 6 (01:18):
Yeah, but remember again, this is the saga that Tanner
and I have been living. For those of you wondering,
we don't talk about it for three months. It's one
hundred percent still going on. My controller doesn't work for
the game we want to play. I've bought three cents
then even it works for one of them, none of
them will work. It works for me, and it works
for it works for Tanner, and we are forever stuck
at an impass until PUBG either dies on the vine

(01:42):
or uh or something else changes. I don't know, man,
I'm not smart enough to figure it out.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
Well, I'll be back on the consoles when GTA six
comes out, because that's not coming out for PC for
like a year after their first release.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
So yeah, I'll be back then.

Speaker 7 (01:55):
You know.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
I think I'm gonna get it on a PlayStation though,
I gotta.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Be honest, it's so annoyed that they're pushing, you know,
like and I have to buy the new one before
the game comes out right the new system, but they're
pushing it even ahead of time now because PUBG announced
that you can't play PUBG after next month, so you
have to have the new Xbox to play PUBG. What
would they do because they're trying to match up the
graphics packages for people like you they want.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
Yeah, but what about the people who just aren't ready
to move on yet? Me, Like, there's plenty people.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
And that's all I mean, it's the only game that
we play in my house outside of like stuff on
the Nintendo.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
It's just so unfair. It's like they're forcing you to
spend hundreds of dollars, you know.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
I read an article yesterday about a class action lawsuit
that's against streaming services, because what happens is when you
when you when you buy a movie through like your
cable or a streaming service or whatever, you technically technically
don't own it.

Speaker 5 (02:50):
You're leasing it.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
And so what happened was this woman has spent twenty
one dollars on a movie, like a really shit movie.

Speaker 5 (02:55):
I can't remember the name of the movie, but I'd
never even heard of it.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
It looked terrible, but she bought it, and then all
of a sudden one day it was gone and she
spent twenty one dollars, And so she's the lead defendant,
I guess or whatever person on this class action lawsuit
that's suing these people saying that there's either got to
be like more clear explanations saying that we don't technically
own these things, or a way that we can put

(03:20):
them on a hard drive or something, because it's yeah,
it's the truth. I mean, like I stopped buying DVDs
like five six years ago. Everything I gets digital now,
and if I get rid of my cable, I don't
have those anymore.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yeah, it doesn't feel like yours when they say you
own it, and that's you.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Know what, each movie's what twenty thirty bucks or something. Yeah,
that's hundreds ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Like I would just rent it if I knew I
wasn't gonna have it forever. I feel like it's kind
of the same thing with Apple and how they recently
had to change the design of their chargers because every
year it would be like a new design or whatever,
and finally they were like, no, like you have to
make a charger that is compatible with everybody else's phone.

(03:58):
So now it's just like one charger, so every time
you buy a new phone, you don't have to buy
new accessories to go along with it. It's just a
bunch of.

Speaker 8 (04:07):
Well, here's the shit. I got this Apple Watch and
uh lo and behold, they give you the charging cable
but not the.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Block, and which wouldn't be a big deal, but because
it's a new style of charger, it's the same thing.
This is how dumb it is. I have the same
watch he has, but I have to use the old
slow charger because I did. It didn't come with the
block to plug in the.

Speaker 5 (04:30):
Five hundred dollars item.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
You should get everything you need to operate the device
in one package.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
I don't understand. I do understand to a certain degree,
because they used to include like back in the day,
you would get headphones, you would get the block, you
would get the charging cable, and after a while, after
four phones, it's like I don't need four of these,
you know what I mean? So I guess like, well
then it's waste or whatever.

Speaker 5 (04:53):
But it's just like then they keep changing the plugs.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Well, and that's the whole thing. It's like, well, I
need a new block now because now this one doesn't work.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Don't change the way it plugs in without giving me one, right,
if you've done it for years, I get it. I've
got a drawer full, but I don't have five lightning plugs.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
I literally had a.

Speaker 8 (05:09):
Hard time wrapping my brain around it. I went like,
so I don't have the thing that I need to
charge this thing right out of the gate to use it.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Nah.

Speaker 5 (05:16):
Yeah, that's not cool.

Speaker 6 (05:18):
So I was doing a little research here for Drew
because I know it's a real bummer. I heard about
the pub g you know, for or backward compatibility thing.
I bought my Xbox Series S one year ago this
month because I wanted to play college football twenty five
and it was three hundred and twenty nine dollars for

(05:39):
the no disc, one terabyte model. You could pick one
up today for two oh nine at game stop. They
are dropping in price like crazy. Now's the time to
get one.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
The new stuff though, I don't know because I can't
buy one that's not gonna work with GTA.

Speaker 5 (05:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (05:57):
It's it's the XS, the the S, the X excuse me,
is like the high end model, and you can still
buy those for five twenty five, five thirty.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
They got.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
They just raised the price by fifty bucks, so everything
is fifty dollars more.

Speaker 9 (06:11):
And of course, but.

Speaker 6 (06:12):
That's only if you want the nice one that you
can still put discs in, if you're okay living in
the digital world, which I was a little bit against it,
But the price difference is what sold it for me.
Two hundred and nine bucks for a console. That's that's
unheard of. Like I haven't spent only two hundred bucks
on a console since like Nintendo sixty four came out.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
So I mean, we're getting to the point where you
might as well muss up jump.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
You might as well just buy a computer. You know
what the prices you're getting for these consoles.

Speaker 9 (06:38):
I'd say two hundred bucks.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
What are you talking about saying you can get You
can get the deal for two hundred plus. My kids
would not be allowed near a PC, So I think
I'm stuck consoling. I mean, you think about like, yeah,
here you go play on my gaming computer.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
But like if you're in a if you go and
sit there and you drop, I think it's six fifty
seven hundred and fifty dollars for the PlayStation five Pro,
which is what apparently GTAs will work best on it's
seven hundred and fifty dollars.

Speaker 5 (07:03):
I think, I.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Don't think I'll ever buy another PlayStation. I've bought two
and never used them.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
I mean, you might as well get just to spend
a few more hundred a few hundred more and then
get a computer, right.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
And I think, if gaming is your is your jammy,
really should.

Speaker 9 (07:16):
I mean, at least with the computers can upgrade it.

Speaker 6 (07:18):
Yeah, it's true, Jan, But I also like, I bought
what I figured was a pretty much off the rack
gaming computer and it was seventeen hundred and it's just
an alien where like, it's not the it's not the
top of the line, it didn't have all the best stuff.
But this thing was seventeen hundred bucks. I could not
find one in that seven hundred dollars price range you
guys are talking about. They're they're getting up their own

(07:41):
ass real quick, especially as they keep coming out with
new processors.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
For me, yeah, I just want to play PUBG until
the damn thing gets here. Stop doing it. Yeah, it
already works, it works fine, It worked like if I
played right now works great. In a month is going
to be dead? Yeah, And now, granted I will say this.
I think I downloaded the game for free or for
like a hot dollar, and I've had it for eight years.

Speaker 5 (08:02):
I think it's free.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
I've taken them to the Absolute Cleaners. Sixty dollars a
year I've paid for you know, just an Xbox Live.

Speaker 5 (08:09):
Yeah, right, that's it. Oh that's not what I want.
Where's what I wanted?

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (08:14):
Here it is there he show get I he Lonky
show get it. I all right, I gotta play you

(08:37):
this click. I found this on the internet.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
It's got you know, the video has been online for
a little bit, but I saw it again last night.
I was like, dude, we got to play this on
the on the Donkeyship podcast because, uh, this is one
of those things that it's like, if you read the headline,
you were like, that's that's that's fake.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
That's from the Onion or something.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
Okay, this man was arrested because he a restaurant climbed
on top of a table where people were It was
like a round table, one.

Speaker 5 (09:04):
Of those yeah, like a like an Italian restaurant.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
Yes, okay, and he climbs on top of the table,
pulls his penis out and just pisses all.

Speaker 5 (09:11):
Over the place. Damn with people eating right there.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Gosh, okay, but like, yes, if there's a dude climbing
on my table at a restaurant and I see him
go for the zipper, I'm not staying seated. Yeah, I'm
out of there. Yeah, that doesn't make his actions anymore.
I would imagine that I would scatter very quickly.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
I imagine he cleared the table pretty quick. Yeah, the
step away is fast.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Yeah, I'm not waiting for the splash back on that one.

Speaker 6 (09:37):
So here, I hope though, you got to hope that
there's a hero sitting around the table that's just gonna
lift an ankle, right, because that might be the easiest
way to take somebody down and fast.

Speaker 9 (09:47):
If you got that guy that's just.

Speaker 6 (09:49):
A quick thinker, season go for the zipper, sweep the
leg man, and that guy gets what he deserves, which
is a concussion.

Speaker 7 (09:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
Well, the interaction between him and the cops so this
at this point, he's been arrested. He's been taking the
the jail and you know he's being processed, I guess,
and back and forth between him and the car.

Speaker 7 (10:05):
You're being arrested, yes, sir, for what? Because you urinated
on a table? While people were eating. Yeah, we kind
of frown upon that.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Now I'm gonna have to fight this one.

Speaker 7 (10:16):
Notice right, well, that's what courts for, sir. What I
need you to do right now is go ahead and
take off your shoes and your socks for me. And
I pissed where you pissed on a table while people
were eating.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
No, no, I did I do it. Unless you have
documented information on that.

Speaker 7 (10:32):
Take off the shoes or else, I'm gonna assist you, sir, Paul.
Make sure you keep this.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Being American.

Speaker 5 (10:39):
That's a cracking right there.

Speaker 7 (10:41):
We appreciate you not using racial terminology, sir.

Speaker 5 (10:44):
Deep South crackers.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Way man can say it too.

Speaker 7 (10:48):
What's this key to you, sir?

Speaker 5 (10:49):
At your mother's house?

Speaker 7 (10:51):
Really, I'm sure your mother would be very proud to
hear you speak like that. Mother loves me. Go ahead
and stand up right in here, sir, going right over here.
Put your arms down, put your hands down by your side.
You don't know anything about military, sir, Yes, I do. Really,
what branch of service were you? Exactly?

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Exactly?

Speaker 5 (11:18):
Your mother sucked to me?

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Drop.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
It reminds me of it reminds me of what's your name, Tony?
What's your name Ezekiel.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
That's amazing. Oh boy, you know I'm gonna fight this right,
you're on You're on camera.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
I'm gonna need some documentation, right, Okay, the table.

Speaker 5 (11:38):
Is rocked, Marcus.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
You ever climb on top of the table in Eugene
and just be all over the place, you.

Speaker 6 (11:46):
Know, out of all the things I've done, that's one
that still remains on the list. I'll get to it sometime.

Speaker 5 (11:51):
I'm sure.

Speaker 9 (11:51):
I think this is actually legal in Eugene, so I
should share this.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
But I saw this happen in Eugene, not at a restaurant,
but when I was a freshman in college. There was
a guy who had come back to town who no
longer was affiliated with the college. But he was very intoxicated,
very abrasive, and I'm sure he regrets this decision, but
he got up on a massive table and peede directly
on it with a girl sitting on the table. Well,

(12:17):
the girl was belittling him, and he turned and he
pete all over her.

Speaker 5 (12:20):
Back right there.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
And I've never seen a room clear faster, and like
this girl's hammered, and they're just she's standing like did.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
You just be on me?

Speaker 5 (12:31):
And he's hammer.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
He's like, yeah, it was like I was like I
had been in college for six minutes is what it
felt like. And I just retreated to my room like
I didn't know, I say, I was like, I'm not
doing it.

Speaker 8 (12:44):
Did it all just blow over?

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Nothing?

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Ever?

Speaker 1 (12:47):
She went home, dude went to bed, drove home.

Speaker 5 (12:50):
Then they probably both woke up and we were like,
let's not talk about this.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, these two had these two had had sexual history,
and so I think she was but heard that he
was doing something. And then he peed on her right
there in the living in the in the kitchen.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
Well maybe that wasn't the first time. If they had,
I wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
She reacted in a calmer manner than I think. Mostly
are you serious?

Speaker 5 (13:10):
Like you're doing that?

Speaker 4 (13:13):
I will put the video online if you want to
check that out. The dude who pissed on the table
one of five nine the brew dot Com. By the way,
I don't like saying pissed. I don't know I said
it because they said in the video, but.

Speaker 5 (13:23):
Hissed one thing? But yeah, one thing. But when guys go,
I gotta take a piss what you're doing?

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (13:30):
And I know you know the one that really gets
to me, it's a Canadian thing. I think it came
from trailer park boys. But I got a few friends
that say it, and it's hey, I gotta go rock
a piss. Gross, don't say that. If you say I
got a rock a piss, I want to slap you
in the jaw.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Just say I got a pee, Yeah, I gotta yea.

Speaker 6 (13:50):
And I won't say I got to hit the bathroom.
I don't even like pee. That's just yeah, I got
to hit the bathroom. You just don't need to know it.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
And certain things will to say like little boys room
or something like yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
But I feel like what anyone says I'm going to
go use the restroom, I automatically think they're going to
drop it to well.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
It's true because yesterday I had to drop a deuce
here at work, and I don't want to, especially during
the show. I try not to. But I said, uh,
what I say when I left, I go, I'm gonna
use the restroom, because that means.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
Because if you were going to pee, it'd be like
I got to pee and then we just walk away.

Speaker 8 (14:19):
But I feel like girls are pretty free in the
way that they say I gotta go pee, Like.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, any more so than I think P is a
pretty normal word. I mean, that's the word you use
like when you're talking to a child about it. I
figured that's as vanilla as it.

Speaker 8 (14:34):
You're still specifying what you're going to you're going to do,
which is kind of weird.

Speaker 5 (14:38):
It's weird. The plint thing to do is to say, hey,
I'm going to the restroom.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
But I don't want to get people the idea that
I'm gonna blow it up exactly. I gotta go pee
real quick. Like I said that today. I think I
said like two or three times.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
I see you guys in a second. It's a number one.

Speaker 6 (14:52):
If you can't tell by the way I'm walking to
the bathroom what the number is, then you're not paying attention.

Speaker 5 (14:58):
That's all all. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
If I blow out of chair, turn and like jump
over a baby gate, I'm taking a dump and.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
It's an emergency and it's not for this world.

Speaker 4 (15:07):
There was a bunch of stuff that we didn't get
to on the show today. The live show, it was packed,
and tomorrow is going to be packed too. We didn't
talk about this, but you will talk about tomorrow. Why
so many employees are crying at work and one of
us on the show actually saw somebody crying at work
just what yesterday? Yeah, so we'll talk about that tomorrow
and see if you're crying at work.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah. And the root of the crying I think for
this employee is probably not over, just based on the
circumstances of what's happening in society right now. So I
can't wait to share.

Speaker 5 (15:36):
There will be more tears. Also, this is a crazy story.
Do you hear about this? Excuse me?

Speaker 4 (15:40):
This basketball player who suffered a fractured vertebrae after the
backboard fell on him.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Oh, I wonder if that's grounds for a lawsuit.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
So this was an Australian basket player named Ben Chriskey.
I don't know if I'm saying that right, but he
sustained a fractured vertebrae after a backboard collapsed on him
during a practice game.

Speaker 5 (16:00):
The twenty three year.

Speaker 4 (16:00):
Old he plays for the thirty six ers. Played player
was struck when the hoops backboard fell following a team's dunk.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
I was gonna say, was it a slam dunk situation?

Speaker 4 (16:10):
It was at the Australian Institute of Sports Arena. This
guy waited over ninety minutes for an ambulance to be
transported to the hospital, which was like five minutes away.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
You very rarely see a backboard come down anymore because
they're built to withstand it.

Speaker 9 (16:26):
Yeah, and the base is massive, all those things.

Speaker 4 (16:28):
Dude, Right, despite the serious injury, he's not gonna require
surgery and he's recovering at home, so it looks like
a huge It's going to be all right.

Speaker 5 (16:35):
But that's scary, man, that's crazy.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
I don't know how it is in Australia, but I
would assume, like you guys said, it's a lawsuits.

Speaker 5 (16:42):
In the making.

Speaker 9 (16:42):
Maybe dude, she just drink some milk.

Speaker 5 (16:44):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
It's just like it's like a version of the show's Sliders.
You're like, yeah, he plays for the thirty six ers.
You mean the seventy six ers. No, no, no, In Australia,
they're the thirty sixty six.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
In related news, mini glass where people who wear glasses
in words, they play with without clear vision, so they
have to take their glasses off.

Speaker 5 (17:04):
They don't want to put contacts in.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
And I apparently over a third of glasses wears have
played sports without proper vision.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Oh yeah, I definitely did a lot.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
I mean, you see those glasses that they do wear
on the court.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
It look like a But even when you have the
sport like I had the sports specs, the ones you're
talking about, and it don't work well. They fog. You
got to think your eyes get hot, you're sweating. Yeah,
I mean it's not clear vision.

Speaker 8 (17:31):
Which is weird that they wouldn't. That wouldn't be part
of the research and development on a sports themed item
like now.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
Granted I was wearing them in nineteen ninety two or something,
so maybe.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
I'm sure the professionals are wearing better versions of that.

Speaker 6 (17:45):
But I kind of love that. The stigma here that
beef Water just stumbled onto is that the people that
are doing the R and D for athletes are like,
you're wearing glasses, You're not an athlete. Get fucked, and
they just don't work on this stuff.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, you know, it's funny. So when we got the sportspecs,
they were extremely expensive and my dad was like, you know,
IM no, no, no, but I needed them for basketball, and
they they were sold as unbreakable. And my first pair,
second day I had him, I put him on and
my older brother wanted to test the theory and so beef,
you'll get a kick out of this. He gave me
a pile driver you know where you're upside down and

(18:20):
they dropped to the ground and bash your head into
the ground. And he snapped him off right here on
my eye and cut my eye all the way down here.
And I ran downstairs and told my dad that my
glasses were broken, and he responded with, why is.

Speaker 9 (18:34):
It always you?

Speaker 1 (18:37):
I thought to myself, physically impossible to be me here.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
That's fine though, oh man, so lea on the car.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
I'm gonna share that growing pain with you.

Speaker 4 (18:48):
Athletes who have to wear glasses misjudge distances or made
errors by ditching eyewear, with eleven percent even sustaining some injuries.
Concerns include the frames breaking drew fifty two yeah, is
just flying off at forty four percent, and sweat causing
slippage at thirty two percent.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
I'd love to blame my lack of three point accuracy
on any pair of glasses, but I think it was
some user air in there.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
It's just me.

Speaker 5 (19:12):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (19:13):
Only thirty seven percent feel confident that their glasses will
stay secure during activity, So there it is. I didn't
realize that so many players are playing just with blurry vision.

Speaker 5 (19:23):
There's stuff to deal with.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
If you wear glasses, just go read a book instead.
I mean, sports obviously aren't for you.

Speaker 5 (19:30):
Let's say, go get some laser eye surgery.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Though, no, no, no, I mean I was just kidding,
of course, but like you can't just sometimes laser is
not something that everyone has access to.

Speaker 5 (19:40):
Yeah, but they're in the NBA.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
If you're a professional, you have access for sure. But
it's also some of them can't wear contacts because their
eyes get irritated and all kinds of little things that happen.

Speaker 6 (19:52):
Did you guys see the video from the WNBA just
the other night where a chick had the ball. She
passes it and kind of gets it in the face
and her contact falls out, and she reaches down on
the ground and picks it up, and they pass her
the ball back. So she's dribbling with one contact in
her hand and one in her eye, and they're like, did.

Speaker 5 (20:11):
She get the contact back in?

Speaker 6 (20:12):
And right after that, she throws the worst pass to
nobody on the court, just hurls the ball out. Your answer,
It's not like she was trying to get a stoppage.
It was in the key. She just threw it to
no one, So yeah, I can see this is definitely true.
People are making mistakes because they can't see out there, man.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
But she's probably such a warrior. Like when you wear
contacts out long, you pick it right up off the ground,
throw it in your mouth, pull it out and put
it in your eyeball.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
I saw my mom, that's the option. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
I have put dirty contacts in my mouth a thousand times.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Oh, I just said I saw my mom do that
a million times.

Speaker 5 (20:48):
I can't watch people put their contact like.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Put a contact lens in her mouth and then put
it back in well.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
As a germophobe, how would you think about putting one
in your mouth right off the.

Speaker 4 (20:57):
Yeah, off the ground, I mean, I guess if if
I if I need to see.

Speaker 5 (21:01):
Uh, I don't know what else I do, But.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
I'm glad I don't do that or have to do
that anymore other it.

Speaker 6 (21:06):
Gives me the willies just thinking about it coming out
of my eye and going into my mouth.

Speaker 5 (21:10):
You could take the ground out of the equation. Like,
I feel my eyes starting.

Speaker 4 (21:14):
I feel my eyes start to water when we start
talking about it. If I see somebody putting drops in.
I have to look away. That's my Uh, that's like
for thirty seconds of hell, that's it for me. Put
just watching somebody put drops.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
On contact less, have them right here, don't make me
get it. Put them right in.

Speaker 5 (21:30):
Other stuff we didn't talk about today. This is kind
of sad.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
A mom said she was on vacation but actually went
to Switzerland for assisted suicide instead.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Oh, bit of a bummer right in the pot, told
the kids to behave She paid twenty thousand dollars for this.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yeah, well yeah, yeah, in the grand scheme of things,
Who cares if you pay twenty thousand dollars you don't
need money anymore.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
But you should have left it for the kids. Family. Yeah,
jump off, I had a family.

Speaker 6 (21:53):
Just left your kids and everything like this is such
a terrible, terrible look in my opinion.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
Yeah, I mean if she was not only sorry no
I interrupted, but I was just gonna say, if she
didn't have a family, that's one thing, but like to leave,
to tell your child that you're going on vacation and
then like how never come back?

Speaker 5 (22:10):
How sick or depressed was she? You know?

Speaker 1 (22:12):
Super Because most suicide, all jokes aside, is free. So
why don't you just leave the money for those who
are going to get hurt?

Speaker 8 (22:19):
The assisted suicide thing over there, I think you have
to have some pretty clear documentation that you're in a
terminal cancer scenario.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
I'm I got I think I agree with the assistant
suicide for certain situations. You know, like if this person is,
you know, miserable day and night, no matter what the outcome. Yeah,
and like I can see it, but you know, like
you guys said, you need to have some real pard
proof that.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Yeah, if you're terminal, that's different than you I'm sad.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah, And you would think that they would regardless of
where she has this done, that they'd be like, hey,
you got any family back home? You got kids? Did
they know about this? But like obviously there were no
checks and balances there.

Speaker 5 (22:57):
Just take the twenty grand.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
But the because if they're sad, you can actually say
things get better. If they're terminal and you say things
get better, you're just lying to them.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
You'd be like, you're a fucking asshole.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
You know, I said bone cancer everywhere.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
And finally, one more thing we didn't talk about today
on the show is it's just actually not a bad
idea Britain is going to ban energy drinks for children
younger than sixteen.

Speaker 5 (23:20):
I'm all about.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
That's a great I think that should be a thing.
Energy drinks for anyone are terrible.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yeah, and we need to decide we're going to drink
them like it's a cigarette. Like know that it's not
great for you, But I did it anyway.

Speaker 8 (23:32):
My daughter was on this kick for a while, and
every time I was like, you need to get off that.

Speaker 9 (23:35):
It is not drinking like Red Bulls whatever, she could
get her hands off.

Speaker 5 (23:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
I remember I was kind of addicted to Rockstar energy
drink for a while, and I would you get one
of those tall cans. I would drink the tall can
and then I'd start feeling that cold sweat come on,
and then you start feeling lethargic, and.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
You'd got three hundred milligrams of caffeine thirty five grams
of sugar.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
And then when that starts, when that starts to wear.

Speaker 8 (23:57):
Off, boy, you feel it. Well, we're not meant for it,
you know what I mean. That's not that science is
not for our body.

Speaker 6 (24:03):
And I was on a habit of like at least
one of the sugar free monsters a day, and this
is real recent, Like this is going back a month.
I was probably doing two a day. I would say,
three to four days a week. And one of the
guys in my band just comes to practice one day
and he's like, Hey, I'm gonna mispractice next week. I
got to go to a funeral. My thirty six year
old friend just keeled over and died of a heart attack.

(24:24):
And he goes, don't drink energy drinks. And I was like, wait, wait,
tell me more of the story. And he goes, Yeah,
seemingly healthy dude, but like three red bulls a day,
two red bulls a day type guy, and just heart
exploded at thirty six years old. And I immediately stopped. Dude,
I haven't had ten of those things since that happened.
And I'm proud of myself. But that's scary because I'm

(24:46):
not a seemingly healthy thirty six year old. I'm a
marginally healthy forty year old.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
You're a walking pre existing condition.

Speaker 8 (24:54):
But it seems, actually, it seems uber safe. They're available everywhere.
You can grab the up plaid past. You don't really
think about it in a wow, this is really really bad.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
I just feel lucky that I hate the taste of
most energy drinks. They just like taste so nasty.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
It makes me more thirsty.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah, and like they give me a stomach ache, and
it's just like I don't like them. So I'm grateful
for that. So I've never really been an.

Speaker 4 (25:16):
That's probably the caffeine health experts are welcoming the band,
noting the energy drinks and negatively impact children, sleep, focus
and well being and obviously they can contribute to obesity, to.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
The attention to your health there and just being in
Britain recently, it's so night and day. I mean a
whole section of candy and every single bag has all
these things written on the front to like explain to
the parent that we got rid of the shit, like
oh this one no artificial colors. They're all the same colors.
We have all these things.

Speaker 5 (25:49):
It's like, what are we doing.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
They're a step ahead of us, and we just need
to just like with fashion, like we copy their fashion.
Why don't we just copy the nutrition.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
Dude, Like you know, I've on the air on the
Live show the other day talking about this twenty four
pack of Doctor Pepper that Bee Fodder got me for
my birthday. Like three years ago, and I feel bad,
but I've been using it as a footstool in here.
I never took it home very comfortable, and then it
got to a point where it was too old, and
then I just I just gave up on it. Even
though I do love doctor pepper and a can, I
just it's twenty four cans.

Speaker 5 (26:18):
It was heavy, Yeah, and it had been here for
a bit. My car is also super far. It's so
far away, so I plan on getting it.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
I never ended up getting it, and the cans ended
up sitting here for three years, well over the Labor
day weekend.

Speaker 5 (26:29):
I coming back into the studio like on Tuesday, and.

Speaker 4 (26:33):
The whole floor is sticky because the doctor pepper ate
through the aluminum can and is now spilling out into
the floor.

Speaker 5 (26:40):
And we're drinking that stuff.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah, I will say, I mean like that, we do
have like pretty strong acid in our stomach already, so
I mean, obviously our body can handle it. But there
are certainly, yeah, there are certainly better things that you
could be putting in your body.

Speaker 8 (26:58):
We're also tinually processing things where that just sits in
neutral for three years.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
Well, but you think about and you're right, you're both, right,
But you think about the experiment they used to do
in school where they would take a t bone steak,
pour a coke on it, and leave for Christmas, break
and come back and it's a bone all right. Yeah,
granted you are moving, but it's still eating the wall
while you're trying to process it.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
And the fact that they use coke to like get
blood off of the interstate after a car act, like.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Pour coke on ghana. You know, when you're the two
things you clamp onto in your car battery, you're when
it's all gummed up with that nasty white stuff. You're
supposed to pour a coke on it because the acidity
will bring it through. It's like, I don't know, it's
risketch and we're drinking that. Yeah, and I'll say, first,
nip off a coke. One of the greatest things I've
ever experienced.

Speaker 5 (27:45):
It is great, all right, bus Trafts Marcus. One more
thing and we gotta go.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (27:49):
I did my science experiment in eighth grade with three
pieces of just iron, and I put three pieces of
iron one and diet soda, one in mountain dew and
one in regular soda. And believe it or not, The
Mountain Dew did by far the least amount of damage
over the month that it was in there. The diet
soda didn't do a lot. The regular soda fucked up

(28:10):
that piece of metal. I've never seen anything like it.
I wish I still had the pictures because it was
like it was Science Fair type stuff. I felt like
a real badass. But then I had, like, you know,
at least twelve cokes that day, so I don't know if.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
I was strong on that. Keep your memory short, keep
flavor alive.

Speaker 5 (28:27):
Well, that does it for us? Before we go? Who
would like to lead us in song?

Speaker 4 (28:32):
Laura Marcus Laura just to go?

Speaker 5 (28:37):
Just a going away song.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Was the donkysh pocast And now it's over, so cry
your teas into your pillow and we'll see you next Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Nice.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
What in the actual ass you've been listening to? Tanner,
Drew and Laura's Donkey Show, heard daily at one O
five nine the brew dot com. May God have mercy
on all of our souls.
