Doug Phelps is back in the studio! Bill welcomes back the comedian, bartender, DJ, and Uber driver for a hilarious and thoughtful reunion after some time apart. The two catch up on Thanksgiving, the chaos of the upcoming holidays, and Bill puts Doug on the spot with a New Year’s resolution question—Doug’s answer is one everyone can relate to.

Bill shares a laugh-out-loud story involving a friend, a ski trip, and a classic miscommunication about weight. Then things take a wild turn as Bill dives into the viral trend of porch pirates getting pranked by exploding paint packages. Are these videos real? Bill does a deep dive into how legitimate they are and reveals how much is actually lost to package theft each year.

The conversation heats up after Bill plays a news clip where someone questions what porch pirates might be capable of beyond stealing—sparking a spirited debate between Bill and Doug.

The two also discuss the holiday season and the feeling of being pulled in every direction. While Doug thrives during the holidays, Bill feels the pressure mounting. That leads into a deeper conversation about whether society is becoming more isolated due to Amazon, smartphones, less drinking, and less socializing. Bill talks about a recent Bill Maher clip that echoes what he’s been saying for a long time.

Finally, Doug challenges Bill to take action on something he’s been reluctant to do—and insists hard enough that it just might happen. Will Bill follow through? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Funny, thoughtful, and full of real talk—this episode has it all. Enjoy!

Speaker 3 (02:16):
I went to school on Standing College.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, and then uh, and then I'm going to Alexandria,
Virginia and uh, you're just bouncing all over the place. Yeah,
I guess this holiday stuff, right, you got it? Yeah?
And then and then we're into the.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
New year Doug twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Yeah, are you any resolutions do you have right now now?
Still to not as of right now? Do you make
them regularly?

Speaker 3 (02:41):
It's always gonna lose weight in the new years?

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Okay? Yeah, yeah, I feel that I was talking to.
I don't want to say who it was because I
don't want to embarrass them by person, but there's someone
very close to me and they said they got new boots.
So they were going up because they have a place

(03:04):
at a ski resort and their kid is on an
elite ski team, and not many trails are open, and
just this guy, his son went up and he had
gotten new bindings and for his boots, you know, he
got new boots, so he needed to adjust the bindings.
Not new bindings, but he had to adjust the bindings.
And he's coming down this hill and he's hitting it

(03:25):
kind of hard, and all of a sudden, man, he
pops out of the ski, just pops the fuck like
he is spread all over and he hears this little voice, dad,
are you all right? Because the kid who was coming
down the same trail with his ski team, and the
coach comes over and he's like pulling himself back together
and he can't figure out, like what happened, and so

(03:46):
then well, hang on, you fucking nailed it. You fucking
nailed it. So he comes down the uh a little
bit more, puts him back on and happens again. And
now there's a bunch of like age rich chicks coming by.
They're like, oh, you want us to take your skis
and you can walk down and this person is like

(04:07):
me and they're fucking ready to snap and they're like no.
So goes back to where the bindings were adjusted with
the new boots and the guy goes, yeah, I don't
It shouldn't be happening at all. Makes no sense. And
he pulls out the order for him and the person
looks and goes, they put down the wrong weight by
one hundred fucking pounds.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
So they can do that. I did not know that.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, it's all the bindings are based on your weight, right,
so it's gonna hold you in there. And he's hitting
it hard and it says he's one hundred and thirty
and he's two hundred and thirty.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
I thought he was a hundred.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Well this is what he said. He goes, what the
fuck you can look at me right? He says that
his two looked like a one because he wrote it fast,
and the guy just adjusted it for one thirty. But
here's the thing. They don't know.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
You could be having it done for this.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
This is a two or one ye well depending, it
could be correct or you filled it up out And
they got a bunch of orders and they go, yeah, we're
gonna get to it. We'll call you when you're ready.
And they go back through and they look at it.
They say, one thirty makes sense because it.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Could be somebody else was filling out the order.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Now the guy it could be a dad for his kid,
you know what I'm saying, or a guy for his wife. Whatever.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Fuck this first was he injured? Oh?

Speaker 2 (05:19):
I don't think so. And we're not talking, you know.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
I mean he's two thirty.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
How tall is it's like five ten? Okay? Maybe yeah,
maybe five nine, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
So he's in shape. It's a good wait for five ten?
Fucking What the fuck is wrong with you? I'm more
than two two thirty, you know.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Shit, I see it. Doug goes over to his refrigerator.
They go Hey, welcome back.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Gosh, the show really misses my.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
So the yeah, I mean, but in terms of injury,
I don't. I don't think so. But this person all
offesome say to me, Hey, you gotta be careful. We're
not young anymore. And I'm going I don't. I don't know.
I guess I have some aches and pains and things.
I don't even think about this ship. And I'm like, well,
I we'll get my bindings adjusted properly. I will tell

(06:11):
you that's.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Where I started buying the past couple of years. Then
you might find this funny. But tombs. Yeah, because being older,
certain acids, pizza, sauce, heartburn, you're like, I die so well,
even McDonald's McMuffin, which I love the sausage though driving
around all of a sudden you get the little palpitation.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
But yeah, ogita, yeah baby, Well, I will tell you
here's something of getting old. I had a problem where
things were getting lodged in my esophagus. It was especially
a smaller bite spill. Let's chew, chew your food, so
it was usually like meat and things. Okay, this could

(06:53):
be very very gay if you wanted to take it,
because you're choking.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
I'm choking on me, okay, but smallah.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
So I it would just like it would lodge in
my esophagus, like I could feel it. I could feel
it sitting there. So and a lot of times it
was I felt like maybe I was eating too fast.
I wanted to get to something and that was the problem.
So I sort of ignored it. Well, then I'm living
by myself. There's no one around, and it's lodged and

(07:22):
I'm having a hard time. I'm having a hard time breathing.
I'm having a hard time with everything.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Scary, isn't it fucking yeah? So and it works through
this story. I start ninety one one.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Well, so it hurts, like it really fucking hurts, and
it's not moving, and I know it's stuck and I
can breathe, but the pain is there, and I'm like,
good God. So I do go to the emergency room
and I'm there like you know, I'm breathing in. My
heart rate is okay and my blood pressure is not

(07:52):
too bad. And so they're like, uh, I'm waiting forever
and they finally admit me and then they say, hey, listen,
we uh we're going to do some tasks so they
look and they go, uh, we're going to do a scope. Okay,
We're going to drop a scope down and see sew
it's in there, which yeah, right exactly. Because I was

(08:13):
joking at the same time because I needed to have
a colonoscopy, I go, why don't we just two for
one in the fucking middle? Right, So they they go
in Doug and they said to me, they knock you out.
They come back and they go, okay, uh, we the
meat had come out, but we can see the indentation
like where it was lotched. We can see it there

(08:35):
and you have well no, They're like, yes, yes, But
they said, uh, I think there is a thing like
supposed to choose thirty six times or something, And now
that you said it, I think there is scientifically, I
can look at up for something like that, right right,
who does It's like fucking puree? Right, I'd like a steak,
got like a few bites and then nice and then
I swallow. So so the uh they said to me,

(08:59):
you have like a narrowing of your esophagus. Why don't
we try you on a medication and see how that works.
And it's kind of like an an acid, So uh,
they said, let's keep you off of it, and then
let's put.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
You on it and we have to do another scope.
So they do another scope and they.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Go, okay, well we can still see stuff happening and
you're having so they put me on this. They did
another scope and everything was back to normal.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
So I have to take so they put you under,
put the scope under it. It came out of anethesiologia anesthesia,
and then they let you drive home.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
I don't recall what I did.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
I think that's why you're not supposed to drive in.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
No, I don't. I don't recall what I did, and
I'm not sure that they used anesthesia or something else.
Sometimes there's like nerve blockers and I don't I don't remember.
I know for the colonoscopy they put me out, but uh,
and then I got a ride on prison. Yeah, hey,
you're getting done for your breath and this will be
over soon. So I yeah, so I'm on like this

(09:59):
and asked pill. So I don't have those problems only
because of that. I take it every day before I
eat anything, and it's helped. I've never had a problem again,
you know, But it's like for all my life I
was so proud. I was up into my fifties and
I hadn't I wasn't on a medication.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
I'm on a daily medication.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah, I'm on a daily And then and then I
fell in love with that roll. So that's the other one.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah, so you moved all over here?

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Take one day two day one. You're in a trailer.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
You're running. How did I move over here?

Speaker 3 (10:33):
So?

Speaker 2 (10:34):
I had a kind of over dinner on a Friday
night and then woke up in a panic because I
had a project for my Counseling Theories class that I
needed to that was going to be a podcast.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
I met somebody ubering that's doing the same thing you are.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, not for.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Psychology, but just to listen to people those problems.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Well like counseling.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
Counseling.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, that's what I'm doing. It's counseling. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
And the first thing they tell you is don't give
them any advice.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Just yeah, yeah, just listen.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
So I'm like, you're going to school basically just sit
there and listen. Well, there's a little more to it.
I'm like, doesn't sound like there's a little more to it.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Who was she?

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Do you remember I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
Did she to Fisher?

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Uh? Yes, yeah, so she is going to Fisher.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
She's probably in my class. Is she getting a master's
It doesn't matter. Oh we can talk about the software,
doesn't it. Yes, But you are told to meet the
person where they are and try to guide them to
find their own answers within themselves, because that's going to
be more effective for them to Actually.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
They've never done that as a bar tender ever.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
No, I think that right there. You're a driver, right,
you give advice, right, And that's what it is. And
that was probably my big problem too, because, like I'm
a dad. Before you came in here, I called my
middle age, my middle age, my middle son, and I said,
I was like, hey, man, you want to grab breakfast
tomorrow morning? And he's like, oh, Dad, I'm losing my mind.
I got my computer's not working. I'm downloading this software

(12:06):
program for my masters. I got to get these projects done.
I have till next week. I know I can't ask
for an extension. The computer is just stuck in the
download mode. And I'm realizing I'm having problems with the computer.
I go, all right, let's let's go call a conference
them in on a friend of mine who's a computer guy.
I say, what is he gonna need? He goes, here's
one that's fairly inexpensive. Blah blah blah, and I go.

(12:29):
He goes, I don't have that. I don't have five
hundred dollars. I can just do. I go, I got
five hundred just to fucking go get it. Let's get
this done.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
So that's a fix it thing.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
That's a dad thing. Right, you got a problem? How
can I fix it? How can I make it happen
with this? It's not effective if somebody doesn't find their
own kind of conclusions, so you want to lead them
in a socratic method. Sometimes there's many different theories. And
then the other thing is diagnosing people. So you can't
prescribe drugs. I cannot say, hey, but I can, but

(13:03):
I can diagnose you. So I can say, let's say,
you know, you go, I don't know. I've been on
this manic up and down and moon swings and blah
blah blah, and I can go through and go, Okay,
sounds like.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
You're a woman thirty six years old. Problem solved. I'll
be three hundred and fifty five dollars.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
A bipolar you know. Whatever it could be, or it
could be borderline personality disorder. Whatever, I can send you
to somebody to prescribe it or talk to your provider.
I can send this to your provider if you allow me,
and we can get you on something that may make
you feel better. I don't know, but that's what I

(13:43):
can do. And there are big, thick books and lots
of reading and all kinds of shit.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
So now what are you going to be done? When's
the party?

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Twenty twenty seven? Okay, twenty twenty seven, spring of twenty
twenty seven, so it's a yeah, we're fucking jamming through
right now. I got finals this week and then a
start up again in January. Now I know what I'm
up against, balancing the podcast and all the stuff that
I need to do and then trying to part time job.

(14:14):
So I don't I don't know how to say this.
I want better health insurance, so I do. I am
part time out of school so that they covers it.
That entire check will go covers me and my kid

(14:35):
on a pretty great health plant, like a really great
health plan. So I make no money, but I don't
need to do it. The only reason I do it
is for the benefits because I don't enjoying it. Yes,
And they just said to me the other day they
were asking me how long my program was because they
want to try to keep me as long as possible,
of course, And yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Because I'm I met the Moran. Hi, Kenny, what are
we learning today? With the Moran? We're going to talk
about geography and the United States fits in the world.
Okay with the Moran? Okay, why didn't you get to class.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
There's there's a sub lady there too that calls me
mister Morgan. And I haven't corrected her yet. I just
I haven't corrected her. I just let her go because
I feel like, for some reason it's a bait. I
feel I maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like it's
only because I don't talk about like any of my stuff.

(15:33):
I don't say I had a podcast. I certainly never
talk about radio. I just had somebody come to me
the other day and go, hey, I had a client
come in here and they said to me, does my
name sound familiar to you? Blah blah blah, And then
they explained to who they are, and they go, you
never did that, You never, I go, why would I
why would I you know, yeah, but you have like ah,

you play that for like half an hour and like
battleshep ship not sheep ship, battleship. Yes, is that on it?

happen in this country, it's going to be doom from within,
or it's going to start from within. It won't be
from an outside source. They'll try to kill us from
the inside out.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
There you go, guys, that would be uh the late
Bob Rivers who died this year. But he was a
big radio personality in Seattle and that made tons of
tunes that he would send out. And I had a
record contract and a huge recording studio. And when he retired,
who went on tour with heart as a keyboard?

Speaker 3 (22:09):
Really yeah, yep, he made a fucking ship ton of money.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
The Barefoot Bandit do you ever remember the Barefoot Band?
It was this kid who stole somebody's seaplane and stow
Bob's seaplane out of Seattle, out of Yeah, that was it.
So I just thought would be fun to play a
little Thanksgiving in w k RP.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
When they yeah, they dropped the turkeys. I was thinking
about you the turkey draws.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Yeah, that's so funny. Uh. So there's something that I
have been watching on social media that I love. And
it's always this time of year that we hear about
the porch pirates, people who run up and steal the
packages off your front steps, your porchs whatever and then
they go running off the thing that Now we get

(22:55):
to see a lot of these because there's the ring doorbell, right,
and people put it on social media.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
And go, uh, if you see this blurry called the authority, right.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
If you see this person or and then it you
know whatever. So I have been watching these videos where
a porch pirate runs up, grabs a package and they
booby tramped, yes, okay, and as they're coming back, you
hear boom and it's like paint and it's like all
over their face and so and somebody like one guy screaming.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
You fucking asshole, I'm gonna.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Sue, and I go, this cannot cannot be real, right,
it's got to be AI generated, it's got to be fixed,
it's got to be something. So I had to go
like do a little research on all this stuff, and
I am finding I did find like a news story
that will play. I haven't listened to it, but accordingly.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
Where guys have shipped their pants, they go running, they're
so scared. They have a tape of a dog gunshots
and that's funny shotgun and.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Okay, now that but even there, I don't know if
that's real or not.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Well, this was a few years ago and it pops
up every now and then, so I think it was.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
That's funny before pre AI. Dude, I must have watched
for twenty minutes. Oh yeah, laugh at my dick.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
Have you seen the one with the bike They tie
a rope to the bike and somebody comes by and
thinks this free bike looks and they'll just start peddling. Yeah,
and twenty feet down ask over t K, Yeah, this
is the bike could be really dangerous. Well yeah, so
knacking your teeth out, shit like that.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
According to police quoted by recent news report, many of
the dramatic exploding box videos are AI generated or staged,
so it's hired actors that are in these videos. Whatever.
I'll tell you what. If you're looking for numbers on
I sat there and I was like, this is fucking
awesome because it's like, you know, what a shitty thing.

(24:56):
Absolutely because a lot of people are probably I would
I don't know what the average price, but I'm gonna
say I'll tell you what about fifty dollars.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
I have driven uber obviously, yes, and I have been
leaving apartment complexes and on occasion you'll see it no,
the rider will be like, turn around, turn around the
mails here, my package will get stolen. Can you please
turn around? I get it?

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Oh yeah, oh shit, yeah yeah okay.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
So that's that's obviously bad. I was looking for it.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
They were, but they did have some that were like
the glitter. They had a glitter trend. So when you
opened the box, these are exploding as people are running
to the cars. Their cars are getting covered in Maine
the interior. If it's real, right, that's why I'm going
there's no fucking way because if this were true, whoever's
making them needs to fucking sell them online because I

(25:49):
would buy eight of them just to see.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
There's rumors years ago in New York City people would
put their trash in a cardboard box, wrap it up.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Leave it in the car unlocked.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
Yeah, and then that may be true. They get back
and it stolen trash.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
But yes, uh, I think the glitter bomb was one
they did and this bait box trend. But according to
legal experts, setting a booby trap package, even with non
lethal substance, is risky because homeowners could face criminal charges
or civil liability if someone gets if.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
Somebody's walking on your lawn illegally.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
And annoying, like it's so fucking annoying innocent, Uh parties
say a delivery driver, a neighbor, or even a child
might accidentally trigger such a trap, is what they're saying.
And that I guess you could say that could happen,
I don't.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
Know, accidentally walk up to your house and look in
the box and touch it and trigger it him you
lose a hand. Yeah, and it's your fault, right, and
I'll see you. Or what if what if I did this?

Speaker 2 (26:54):
What if I was coming to visit you, you had
a package, I ring your doorbell, you come over, I'm
holding the package.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
There was a difference between being invited into my house
and you just showing up. No, no, But if I
invite you over and something happens, that I'm at fault.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
But if you just shut up. So let's say I
just showed up, ring the doorbell, and I see Doug's
got a package there, so I hold I'm holding the package,
and you come open the door.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
And it blows up all over your face.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
I'm covered like pat I'm covered in paint.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
Give me another package.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Or let's say you came to my house like and
that that could be a lawsuit for you. I really
think it could be. I would hope it wouldn't be right.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
It's amazing how many people know how to sue and
why to sue.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
Right, Yeah, some of these are obviously fake. But there
is a story, a news story out of San Francisco
that I queued up. I have not listened to this.
I apologize, It's okay. I wanted to see because I
find them fucking funny. Dude, you gotta go look them
up for me. And I just laughed my ass off
as what made me go, there's no way this can

(28:02):
be real. It's one that this guy, now he looks
like an open loop. His entire face, beard, everything is orange.
He's on a sidewalk and he's yelling back at the
house I'm gonna sue. And I'm like, all right, this
is not real this there's no way this could be
real at all. Let's see what this story says.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
Right, people running off the porch, and then you'll hear it,
all right, And.

Speaker 4 (28:25):
This one's on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
The video show porch pirates being avenged by exploding packages.
A loud, blue and pink Pala were worse.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Or worse guys going back to his truck and training Boom,
it's off. That's not funny.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
Not a legitimate way, too, is a costealing your stuff.
There could be civil liabilities, there could be criminal liabilities.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
And while many of the videos appear to be fakes,
the thefts and opportunities, especially this time of.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
Year, TikTok work. So if you get so many views and.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Making money, yeah, I mean I gave.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
This every kids. Well I can't say every kid's.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
No, yes it is. It's majority of children's dreams. Yeah,
and I will tell you I I probably made somebody
some money because I couldn't stop watching. Then I'm searching them.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Then I all of a sudden, like after I looked
at it, did you just put a miracle on thirty
fourth Street?

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Like?

Speaker 3 (29:24):
No, I don't want the Christmas ferit. I want to
see shit blowing up on people's faces. I watched some
I was looking I want somebody to lose an eye.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
I was looking for the Bill's Hallmark movie because I
hear it's terribly bad and oh no, I cried, you
did not.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
I bought a big tub of popcorn and I watched it.
There with my cat on my lap and the fire,
oh my god, Christmas tree lit and the lights down low,
and I'm.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Like, boom, you suck.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
No, I did not watch it, nor will I.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
I went looking for it, but you gotta I have
to get a subscription to the Homemark channel. I'm not
getting a subscription to the Hollwark.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
Seventy movies with all the same PLOTLM.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
I just wanted to see it, so I did, Like
I bought another piece of equipment by at a necessity
because I left the board here. I was going to
try to watch it with my brother, get drunk and
watch it on the couch with microphones and talk it
to the micros how shitty the movie was.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
I would like to do that. Then I would do.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
You and I could do that. We could do that.
We'll do that in here when.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
We can remember saying this theater three thousand, we would
talk through. So I'm actually I would love to do that.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
I think this week we're going to get the TV
mounted I'm taking and I don't want the here anymore,
and you know there anymore. No, I'm gonna take that
off and I want to put the production doing up here.
I'm going to bring it. I have other things happening,
so I'm going to bring it home. I have a
garage that I'll just put it in for now and
we'll leave it there. Why do you want it?

Speaker 3 (30:52):
That would probably I could probably find something to raffle
it off on.

Speaker 2 (30:57):
Oh really yeah, uh yeah you want it, you can
have it right now. But after Christmas, yeah, then it's yours.
I'll leave it here, we'll get you to take it.
I told him I don't want it. I don't want
it up and uh, it's it's not good with the
cameras anymore. It's pain the ass, and I had it

(31:19):
because it can't Actually the funny things, weren't.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
You gonna do something with Guinness? Reach out to them.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
By did and they said that they Guinness Corporate was
like at the time, gave a no, And so I
didn't pursue it anymore. I can probably go back now,
you know. I've got a couple of things like that
that are of a bigger thing. But I don't want
the mirror. I would get a sign. I would get
a sign, like a lit up sign or something. The mirror,

(31:46):
though it was given to me when a friend of
mine bought thirsties. It was always in his family. His
dad had it, and then it went to the brothers
when dad passed, and I think it became a big,
big deal because the brothers, a couple of them live
out of town and they wanted to sell it, and
it's sort of an iconic place in Pittsford, and he

(32:10):
wound up. I think it became a legal thing and
he won. Oh yeah. And so when he got he
took that down, renovated a little bit in there, and
gave that to me. So I feel a little bit.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
I guess in the family. If I'm getting in it,
maybe I'll keep it. I can put it in my grass,
so I don't I don't know. I can hang it
up next to the TV.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
Speaking I went to uh stack and slice he did, yes, uh.
In specific port, I thought it was more of a
bar like bTB. No, it's not to go yeah, but
you can go great, you can go over to the
brewery out there.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
I think there's a brewery right there. I thought maybe
next door.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
I was kind of lost. I was in the parking lot.
It's just a small piece of shop. Yeah, and I'm like,
where the hell is this place? Going up and down
thinking it's a bar, and I'm like, what might lost.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
It? To go? It's basically to go, and then you
can go over.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
I think it was actually kind of summer. Seemed like
they a nice little outdoors. Yeah, a couple of picnic tables.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
They could definitely do that in the warmer weather. And
I think you could go over when the brewery is open,
you know, like like a thirsties. They don't serve food,
so next door you can say, yeah, so everybody would
go to.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
The liquor store twenty feet away.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Yeah, yeah, take it out of the road. Take it
out of the road, buddy. This porch pirate ship by
the way, I mean, I think in Atlanta they asked
me it to be a half a billion dollars and
lost and lost. Yeah, that's terrible. I mean, and it depends, right,
you could. It's a it's a crapshoot. You don't know
what you're getting.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
You mean, well, I'll sell onliner, I'll give it to something, right, but.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
Somebody could Oh that's true, that's true.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
You can get.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Somebody's dependence order, you know what I mean. I mean, seriously,
something somebody needs, well, somebody needs that they don't want
to buy it in a store. It's kind of embarrassing.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
I'm stealing in the store. I mean they're coming in
with twenty thirty people. If you watch the videos in California,
Oh yeah, it's all planned going yeah, yeah, smashing grab
does it call it? Yeah, jewelry stores, Yeah, they did
here in Greece years.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Yeah. Just terrible. It is terrible, but the uh very
real and it's.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
It's really scary, you know, to think that if somebody is.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
Is that bold and not brazen to not know what
else they may be capable of.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Oh, get the fuck out of here.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
It's absolutely correct, somebody's stealing your package. It starts with
something and it goes up to say, in this.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Middle aged women that are usually doing it, do you
think that fat sound is just gonna be able to
do anything? She's got a fucking revolver in her belt.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
She can't get it out over her, but she's reaching
Doug's no difference to heighten up the adrenaline. First, you're
stealing this, and I gotta tell you the liquor store,
and then you keep going up and live I'm not
gonna get cut. Yeah, you live in I live bubble world.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
I do. I don't know. In my mind, yes, in
my mind, I live. I'm not I'm not. You agree
with this woman. This woman says it, most people will
agree with it. Right. My first reaction is not the
fuck they're stealing a package?

Speaker 3 (35:16):
What there capable? You're probably picked up a girl. It
was one hundred yards, it was Thursday. I got like
thirteen dollars. This was a seven minute ride to this
Minnie Martin back. She just didn't want to walk it
for a coffee and scratch offs in that time. She's

(35:39):
thirty four. Her oldest is twenty years old. Wow, so
she had fourteen years old, four kids, shares custody with
a grandmother, and once two more. And I'm like, are
you fucking kidding me? Because she's a cancer. So apparently
if you're on a Zoda excited cancers, you want big families.

(36:03):
I'm like, hey, I did not know that. Huh, here's
your stop. I just right, but live in beautiful bubble world.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
No, I'm not saying that these things don't exist. What
I'm saying is I don't. I don't think, like, because
someone stole my package, I don't know what else they're
capable of. I understand that it is a violation. And
when you've been.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
Wrong, What did Jeffrey Dahmer do before he start eating people?
Do you just kind of like he sold nibble packages,
nibble on your neck, like, oh baby, oh gosh, this
is making some ranch stressing on your neck and oh,
you know what's good? Where's Michelle? I don't know. Yeah,
it didn't work out too well. Don't check my freezer.
I got a turkey and a couple of heads in there.

Speaker 4 (36:44):
Olivia Wilson's doorbell. Cant someone taking.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
A start masturbating and you get sex then woman.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
And that's how we have these problems.

Speaker 3 (36:55):
That's why you know, prostitution is still you know, crazy
nutty people out there. Fantasy is. It's the same with anything.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
I got it up your game.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
You start working at McDonald's, then you go to college,
now you're doing a podcast. You're just up in your game.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
Yes, absolutely, but I don't.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
It's not everybody, but you just don't go out.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
I'm just saying if I were stealing a package, I
don't what else am I capable of. I'm not capable of,
but I could practically some of.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
These people you were in a radio station. It didn't
work out. You said to what am I capable of podcasts?
I'm capable of that, right, so you up your game.
It's the same same thing.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Okay, maybe I don't see the logic there, because I go,
that's a risky thing. It's probably probably I can steal
something and sell it. I'm desperate, I'm desperate for money,
or I've got my own at the same store.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
That's a brag. But it's the same with a breast cancer.
You know, we started with sixty six people bowling. Yeah,
and every year just upping it up. And somebody asked
me online, like, how is this growing every year? I'm
just thinking of ways you get a little more. And
with the packages, Hey I got one package, what can
I do to get a couple more?

Speaker 2 (38:06):
That's but what Okay, I understand that. That's what I mean.
I don't know what else they're capable of. What taking
a shit on your front lawn? Like, I honestly laugh
at that. I laugh at it. I laugh at that statement,
and I only laugh at it was a dog. I
only laugh at that statement because it just sounds ridiculous
to me after seeing the people it's usually for the

(38:27):
most part the videos I've seen, it's middle aged white women.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
That are stealing packages.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
That's what I see on the videos I've seen. I'm
not saying, I'm not sure I am profiling, right, And
that's what pops in my head, and I go, what
are they capable of? A burning a batch of fucking cookies?
I mean, what do you want me to tell you?
I get it, all right. I know I'm in the
minority on these things. I always am, I always am.
But I don't I say I live in a bubble

(38:56):
because I don't live in everything.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
I'm not saying fear right, Okay, you're stealing packages. Christmas
is Christmas is over in January? Normal packages, right, I
still want to steal?

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Now? What do I do? Okay, yeah, I got you.
I got you. I mean, you're you make you're making sense.
I am and I am not for many people. But
I just go, I don't live in that fear thing.
And I go, all right, I lose the package of
those package. I don't think living in fear. I think

(39:27):
where people go, what else are they capable of? To me,
that's a fear based that's a fear based reaction, right,
Because at and they are probably correct, as you're pointing out,
but I'm going that's a fear based reaction. I go,
they stole a fucking package. They're not robbing the liquor store.
They're not going there.

Speaker 3 (39:48):
Okay, give them a chance. I don't give a chance.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
Okay, I don't think so.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
All right, we see raising Arizona. I'll be taking these
huggies and all the money out of your register.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Okay, alright, I just it is it's me. I know
it's me. I know it's me, and I chose where
I live. Look, I will say I've been robbed, not
my person, but my place. Yeah. I didn't even really
sweat that one. I don't know why. I just didn't
know yet robbed it where a apartment I had in

(40:27):
Pittsford in the past couple of years. Right, No, no, no,
this was many many years ago, probably twenty five, three
thirty years. No. No, I wasn't home and they stole
my TV and stereo system. That was it.

Speaker 3 (40:41):
That is it sure wasn't whey Well, I didn't have
any kids at the time.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
Oh really, yeah, no children. I was this is like
I was probably twenty four. Oh okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
maybe you were profiled. Uh, well, I definitely somebody knew
I had this stuff and the same as me.

Speaker 3 (40:57):
I lived right on Jefferson Road one day and my
truck was broken into. Yeah, all my DJ stuff and
clubs are gone. Yeah, somebody knew where I was when
I was going to be there. It sucks, yeah, but
I don't.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
I didn't. I remember going to bed that night and
the cops like, you feeling you know, maybe you're feeling anything,
you lock up, lock up, and I I think I
left the doors open. Then I just went to bed. Well,
that's why I'm saying. I go, I know I'm built
weird because that's not a normal reaction to these things.
But I didn't. I go, they're not looking for me.
They were looking for my ship. And then and they

(41:31):
already took it. There's nothing left to take. There's nothing here.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
So people don't lock their doors. I was like, fuck
it on their cars in the city, because if I
have something inside well there, I would.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
Want to shit in a box and leave it right,
you know what I mean. Let that happen. But you're right,
I don't live in an area where that tradition happens. Obviously, traditionally,
but on a regular basis. If I lived in the city,
it would be a little more probably, Yeah, But I don't,
so I get to live in my bubble bubble boy

(42:01):
bubble boy bill. We'll take a moment. Uh, what did
I want to ask Dougie Fresh? I had a whole
bunch of things here.

Speaker 3 (42:08):
That to use, probably next to my ornament.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
Oh, the holidays coming up? Yeah, yeah, and kind of
the you know what's going on? If you feel like
you're being pulled in every direction for some reason, if
you uh, you know, do you know what you want?
And world peace? Yeah? And uh. And then I think
that for a lot of people, they get in that

(42:34):
middle aged idea where they don't partake in the in
the parties anymore as much because they don't want to.
They stay for a short period time.

Speaker 3 (42:43):
I don't know holiday parties. I've been asking people they
are any holiday parties? Like, no, not for years anymore.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
I'm going to tell you, I think that there's a
big and I.

Speaker 3 (42:53):
Was thinking of having one, but I'm still not ready
to host what do you mean?

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (43:00):
Still not set up to host a holiday party. I'm
thinking maybe a outdoor party in the spring. For valued
customers where I bartend.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
Like, yeah, have them over to your place. Yeah, that's creepy.
What what are you? Doug Stewart, Martha Stewart's got it.
I can't houst yet. It's not all set up.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
It's not not ready.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
It's not ready, Billy. It's not like my mom. I'm
not ready. I'm not ready for the holidays. I'm not anything.
I don't don't want to go.

Speaker 3 (43:33):
To bathroom one is upstairs. I'd rather remodel the downstairs.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
Yeah, I got you. Does it work? Yeah? You think
you're fucking friends care? Yeah? Oh well these are your
valued customers.

Speaker 3 (43:43):
Well they're they're friends. I would see them outside of work.
There's not a whole bunch, but damn.

Speaker 2 (43:49):
You know what. I believe that they're There's something.

Speaker 3 (43:51):
Here that would be nice to people, just a reason
to have a party. We'll just do it then. I'm
what I'm saying, I'm not ready.

On, it yes why because IT'S. On tv you can't
say SHITTER. On TV But hbo Max, has yes it's.
Uncutting It so, i'm like, you know for the well
a couple of JOKES that i like to.

Speaker 2 (56:30):
Laugh. At, here okay here's another ONE THAT I i
i got to figure out too because it seems a little.
Ridiculously HIGH but i have three separate lines for on
my cell. Phone bill and THE reason i have That
is jameson had a phone and there was a tragedy with,

(56:52):
the PHONE and i wasn't paying whatever. They wanted so, they,
go well here's what we. Can do you can open
up another line. New phone it'll be. This whatever so
AND then i went to do something with the phone and, they,
go hey we have this deal, Right now netflix. And
whatever Maybe it's NETFLIX And hbo max for nine ninety

(57:15):
nine a month. FOR both, i, go great.

Speaker 3 (57:18):
They're, combining, yes OKAY but I think I.

Speaker 2 (57:21):
Think i'm still PAYING For hbo max SUBSCRIPTION that. I
had i tried. To cancel then they then they go
also for ten ninety nine A Month Hulu disney PLUS
And espn plus at, the TIME so i FUCKING Hated
espn Plus because, i'm like, all RIGHT so i, CANCELED
sling i HAVE A, ESPN plus i DON'T. HAVE espn,

(57:43):
i go. This sucks so then they combine. A thing
SO now i paid twenty nine ninety nine, for that
and then all of, A sudden verizon has a new
deal where they go ten ninety nine. For That so,
i'm like what do you have? Fifty dollars they said
the phone bills over two? Hundred, Bucks, right, WELL no
i didn't go. Through them, but anyway my point is
like ALL the i hate the, automatic subscriptions and it

(58:05):
all fucking. Adds Up and That's where. I'M going i
don't want to be pissing my. Money away there's a
lot OF things i want to do and this.

Christmas, cards Yeah then i'll get two, THIS year i
get one from one of my college friends and then.
THAT'S it i think you'll be in one of.

Speaker 3 (01:07:44):
The pictures awesome because we were at a bunch. Last
year what were up and we? Got, dropped well you
know what? To do the front in. The back you're
only going to see. The front so what's going in?
My life i'll have the two pictures from, three pictures the,
golf tournament, the bowling, the uh THE proclamation I.

Speaker 2 (01:08:03):
Got yeah My.

Speaker 3 (01:08:04):
Cat rosie YOU know i do. The, podcast, yes right
twelve years old is the old Pussy for.

Speaker 2 (01:08:11):
Dickie fail so here here's my thought. On things the
the EFFECTS, OF covid i think are isolating people more
and more than. We, REALIZED yes i think the idea
of working from home THE more i think, about IT
because i remember a lot of people like it was

(01:08:33):
an easy way to do things and it was a
more cost effective way for, the purposes well for the, business,
OWNERS right i, don't.

Speaker 3 (01:08:41):
Know they're paying for rent and a place where.

Speaker 2 (01:08:43):
Nobody's using That's what, i'm, saying so, You know i'm
sure there's been a lot of business real. Estate turnover
and at the, SAME time, i thought uh and and
and some companies held out of the offices and had
a back to, work, mandate right. Were pissed there was
a lot of pushback on that and the idea of

(01:09:03):
working from home or maybe you there, were, compromises well
four days, in office one day. At. Home whatever my
thought on that was a lot. Of RELATIONSHIPS and i
don't mean this as necessarily although it could be sexual
relationships of, any kind but a lot of relationships, mentors

(01:09:25):
business even. Future things you leave, a job somebody you
really connected with at a job can speak highly. Of
you you're not leaving the. Bad terms those kind of
relationships are suffered because people weren't in. The office they
wouldn't even. Have, relationshipships yeah BUT, During covid i'm, saying
now like those in, particular didn't and there were a
lot of people who did meet somebody who was of

(01:09:47):
a like mind as them and got married and. Did
THAT and i think That's LAST and i also think
THAT this i don't know if you, see this but
sort of an ANT and i don't want to call
it an ANTI drink DICTI but i will hear AND
then i don't. See it it. Doesn't correspond it doesn't
correlate for, me Necessarily because i'll hear a lot of

(01:10:09):
people say young people aren't going out. As, much yeah
BUT then i see Bars in fairport that. Get overrun
as a matter, Of.

Speaker 3 (01:10:18):
Fact fairport's got a very, good, reputation.

Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
Right but overrun with young people at a, certain time,
Like somebody i'm going, to, say listen now it's time
to leave all the young kids coming in and get
the fuck out of, this one whatever that. Establishment is
and THEN when i was with, MY mom i had.
GONE down i had a friend who was part of the.
Parade production So ON wednesday i went down with my

(01:10:42):
son to look at, the balloons and my brother. Was
gone we were. Running late he took his family to
see the rockets and they were staying for. The PARADE
and i didn't want to Deal With new york on.
PARADE day i just didn't want to fucking. Do it i've,
DONE it i don't want to. Do it so we
headed back. That night my kid, was tired and my
MOTHER and i, went out and this place. Got overrun with.
Young people it was Like It's New.

Speaker 3 (01:11:03):
York city No.

Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
IN rhinebeck i was back Up, in rhymboka and it
WAS like i FELT like i was sitting in the
middle of a sorority house because it was. Just, Girls
Hi and i'm watching these, young GIRLS and, i go
some of them are trying so. Fucking hard it's. Freezing
outside there are next. To nothing they're pretending to ignore
certain people you. Can Tell and, i'm Like, oh god
to not be that age is really, fucking nice you

(01:11:25):
KNOW what, I mean it's just. Fucking nice so BUT
so i see young people. Going out that's an, odd
night the biggest bar night of. The year. Everybody's home
that's why. It WORKS but i hear things about less
young people going out, to establishments. LESS drinking i think
for the first time in a very very long TIME that,

(01:11:46):
i remember there was a drop in, liquor sales and
it was usually a recession proof business was considered a,
liquor business not necessarily, a bar but certainly a. Liquor
STORE but i think you're seeing less, people drinking, AND uh, i,
thought well they're trying.

Speaker 3 (01:12:03):
Other, things well, the marijuana they are not. Marijuana, gummies,
yeah yeah well that's marijuana, gummies, okay yeah so nothing
else and gummies.

Speaker 2 (01:12:11):
Besides, marijuana no it's usually. WEED goes, i mean that's
that's what, it IS because i don't know because they don't, do,
Them right so, they're, Legalized right so that's about the
ones that AREN'T legal i don't think you. CAN get
i don't know about the gummy. BLACK market i do
know there's a weed, black MARKET but i don't know
about the gummy. Black MARKET and i think those things
they really try, to, regulate right so it would be

(01:12:33):
harder somebody can grow it and to turn it into
A jealous.

Speaker 3 (01:12:36):
Well even if friends of my aides that are rather do,
a gummy, then yeah, than drinking RIGHT.

Speaker 2 (01:12:41):
And I and I and i understand. That too and
then now some of the bars are allowed TO sell,
thc drinks but it has to be below a, certain
percentage and you know, THOSE things i think the IDEA
and i know there's lots of health reasons to not.
BE drink i experts are telling you all. The time,

(01:13:02):
you know drinking is bad for. ALMOST everything i.

Speaker 3 (01:13:06):
Hear you here's what, it is but here's it's on a.
Different scale of us drinking to somebody that's a functioning
alcoholic that dies, of cirrhosis is sixty, years old it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:16):
Could be you don't drink, Every DAY no, i, don't
okay BUT when i DO sometimes i go.

Speaker 3 (01:13:21):
Pretty HARD and i haven't drank for, three days flying, Them,
UP bob i drank hard.

Speaker 2 (01:13:26):
Last, week, yeah yeah. All right so HERE'S what i.

Speaker 3 (01:13:30):
Was thinking there was A night i'll tell you we
went down to a whiskey river on the upstairs down
and By the jetty it used to be The old
jetty AND a cdc man who did you?

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
Go with My?

Speaker 3 (01:13:40):
Buddy mark Your? Buddy mark and we ripped it up
and there should Have been and did you?

Speaker 2 (01:13:44):
Have fun? We did we had a. Great time did
you talk to? Other, people.

Speaker 3 (01:13:48):
Yeah there were a couple of PEOPLE that? I, knew
yeah stop, by it but you're listening.

Speaker 2 (01:13:52):
To music my.

Speaker 3 (01:13:53):
Point is that there should have been another one hundred
and fifty. People there it wasn't that. Bad out you
could have taken, anu verse so felt more people were.
Staying in it was a, great, band yeah and we whooped.
It up but, there again People aren't we think people
are going out and a great venue it was my first.
Time there he's, got drums guitars all over, the, Place right.

Speaker 2 (01:14:15):
But one of the healthiest things you, can do honestly for.
Human BEINGS and, i think if, YOU look i think
your dad is really good. At THIS and i am
not saying it to get under, your skin, but socializing
being connected is the thing that keeps. You alive that
and realizing most of the stuff in life. Is bullshit,

(01:14:38):
Stay calm you're going to. Live longer more than anything,
over diet, over exercise. Over anything. Socialization connection, you know
when you see like my mom versus my dad of a.
Similar age my dad lived in the. Isolated life he
was all Alone. IN jersey i went down, one time
like to, visit them and it was like the paint.

(01:14:59):
Was drying you were watching. Paint dry we went to,
the beach we went to. A diner we would. Go
home he'd read those on. The couch there, Was nothing
there was no one to, talk to there was. Nothing
nothing my mother is putting together Classes At. Bard college
she's part of a. Coffee group, She's out she's going
to cocktail, party today a wine. Tour tomorrow she's Traveling

(01:15:22):
to italy with. A friend, very social, big DIFFERENCE and i.
SAW it i saw. It happen i'm not saying That
the parkinson's that took my was eventually led to my,
dad's demise because you don't really Die from parkinson's was.
The REASON but i do think socialization exasperates a lot of.
These THINGS and i wonder with, young people the work,

(01:15:44):
from home the. Remote jobs there are plenty of those
now that sort, of thing is it gonna catch up?
To THEM and i think we're isolating. Ourselves NOW and
i think, THE health i. Think YEAH and i think
the idea of going to a bar and socializing and
having drinks and you're in your twenties and your, liver's,
fine fuck you go go have the drink or. Have
fun and somebody had sent me.

Speaker 3 (01:16:06):
A clip i don't think it's, for EVERYBODY but i think.

Speaker 2 (01:16:09):
People Right but, i'm saying like you're hanging out with your.

Speaker 3 (01:16:12):
Friend now was your dad a drinker or your mom?
A drinker did you see them drink?

Speaker 2 (01:16:16):
Growing up OF.

Speaker 3 (01:16:17):
Course, I, DID okay i don't know my dad put
them in. REHAB twice i did not know that it
was a.

Speaker 2 (01:16:22):
Doctor, in philosophy and fucking.

Speaker 3 (01:16:26):
If your, Parents drink your, Parents smoke, it's yes you'll probably.

Speaker 2 (01:16:29):
DRINK smoke i.

Speaker 3 (01:16:30):
Got that my mother was a smoker for.

Speaker 2 (01:16:32):
MANY years.

Speaker 3 (01:16:32):
I smoked i quit four or five.

Speaker 2 (01:16:34):
YEARS ago i will admit that once in, a While if,
I'M drinking i might light. UP cigarette i do. LIKE that.
I don't i don't smoke in a, regular BASIS but
i will. Do. It moran people will be Very upsell
maranne for SAYING that i hide it from, my CHILDREN
but i have. Done THAT but i just think that
the socialization part. Of it AND now i know where

(01:16:55):
this is, coming FROM because i had been thinking about
this for a long time in terms of watching my
KIDS and I and i would say, to PEOPLE but
i don't necessarily. See it My son jordan, goes out
he hangs he and his, girlfriend together or he with.
Some buddies My son jackson is always Out In New,
york city checking, out bars checking. Out things so, they're
Out so I'm going i'm not seeing what people are.

(01:17:18):
Reporting back and then there's young people, who, GO yeah
i just want to go home and eat. A gummy
i'd rather lay on the couch and all my friends
and we're home by, ten orone, and, yeah isolation that's
all fucking isolation and that AND and i know where
this is coming. From now somebody sent me a Clip
Of bill MAHER and i don't know who, it was
came out and basically, said THIS and, I Go. Jesus

(01:17:39):
christ i've been thinking this for a. Long time but
the only problem was the young People that i'm highly
aware of aren't doing. Those things they're out.

Speaker 3 (01:17:49):
Being, social well you only know, three kids exactly exactly
three are out and? About right the are the ones
at home, or.

Speaker 2 (01:17:56):
Yeah because, he's, fifteen right but even there any any
chance he could, go out. He's out so maybe it's it's,
different personalities but overall is. A thing i do wonder
what will happen in society as we isolate more and more.
And more and you brought up a great fucking point.
The phone you're sitting.

Speaker 3 (01:18:12):
By yourself nobody talks on, Phone, anymore no.

Speaker 2 (01:18:14):
But they sit and they scroll and scroll. And scroll
and that that, was always, you KNOW when i was doing,
SOME covity i was always the IDEA that i had,
was like where's the next Great Guitarist eric Clapton Or?
Tom patty can? Your?

Speaker 3 (01:18:29):
Phone well you could download it and, you could, you could,
YOU can.

Speaker 2 (01:18:35):
I, know yeah but are you doing that at fourteen fifteen?
Years old are you looking at the fucking greatest porn
you've ever seen in? Your life kids are up there
fucking pulling. Their pud they're not learning to play guitar
and that that was, my point, is.

Speaker 3 (01:18:49):
Like and that's. Not reality by, The way you're not
gonna fuck.

Speaker 2 (01:18:52):
Your, Teacher No but, i'm like this thing is.

Speaker 3 (01:18:55):
Is, worrisome well you said you're not Getting the genie baking.
A bottle it's. For sure that's why we've got. The
iPhone what are we up to twenty? TWO now I

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
