even sure what your gen you are. No, I just said gen X

(09:31):
for you. That's why I gotconfused. What's the next word? That's
not very genuine? No, No, okay, you're not on the peach
vibes UHF and VHF vhs VHF.I'm just not I'm not just speaking with

(09:52):
a lisp. It's VHF UHF.They were different frequencies for the TV,
so the low channels. I believethat low channels were VHF. I might
have it backwards. I'm pretty sureright though, the low channels. Yeah,
so we had two. We hadtwo knobs on the TV. You've
seen a TV with two circles onit. Think about an old gray like

(10:13):
TV buttons on it. Two bigthey're not buttons. They're they're they're dial.
Yeah, yeah, literal, literaldials. That's how they would say,
don't touch that dial. Because whenyou wanted to change the channel,
like the people on TV, don'ttouch what dial the dial on your TV.
They're telling you not to change thechannel, don't touch that dial.
You didn't have any remotes, noremotes. You had to walk up to

(10:37):
the TV and go to change thechannel. The top one was VHF,
which was the low channels, solike you have a cable connected it to
remote. No, that was inthe mid eighties. Eventually that came along
maybe late eighties. My dad hada VCR that had a remote, but
I never we had never had aTV that had a remote. That's the

(10:58):
box that took the VHS. Correct. Yeah, no, it's not.
I'm just kidding. Why do youkeep doing that? Actually, you are
right about that. I'm a littlebit gaslighting a little bit, but you're
right about that. Yes, theVCR is the bus that played the VHS

(11:20):
tapes. But but the top thing, when you were like literally changing channels,
you had to walk up to itand change the channel. The low
channels like three, four, five, eight, eleven, those were maybe
eleven. I'm not sure if elevenwas part. I think eleven was like
at the top of the VHF VHFfrequency if you wanted to go to the
higher channels. When I was ababy, like when I was a little

(11:41):
kid, there were no other channels. It was just like the low end.
There was no such thing as likechannel twenty one or twenty seven or
thirty three or thirty nine that camea little later. What you had to
do though, the top knob hadUHF on it, so you would go
like three four or five, six, seven, eight, eleven UHF and

(12:05):
then you can move the bottom oneto where you want it to be,
and then you can go to twentyone. It stood for ultra high frequency,
and the V was I don't rememberultra high frequent. Yeah. Do
they use that that um for anythingelse? Let me see what a VHF
stands for? You, Oh,very high frequency? Really? I bet

(12:28):
so? It is you HF andyou h are the Are those used for
other stuff? No, No,nobody uses that at all anymore. That
only means that combination is only forfor sending signals out of a television tower
wirelessly to your TV. Set.It takes the antenna. The antenna brings

(12:52):
the frequency in and shows the display. So when the TV would get fuzzy
and like to get a little squiggly, you know how you said we were
all glitching out and squiggly, wewould change the channel or adjust the rabbit
ears to clear up the picture.That's crazy. What is tuner tuner?

(13:16):
I'm a guitar tuner, Nope tuner. It's also on the TV volume sound
nope tuner like graphics. So whenyou would click the channel, there was

(13:37):
a little thing behind it that youcould like turn like this. So like
if you were on the channel andit looked okay, but it was a
little fuzzy, you could just dominor tweaks with the tuner. You could
just like turn the tuner a littlebit and it would just move it a
little bit and it would clear up. I don't really know. Maybe something

(14:00):
on top of the house or maybesomething in the on the actual antenna would
just make smaller movements. Basically,Tutor, Okay, let's move on off
the TV stuff. It's very confusingfor you. What is a full service
gas station? You know? Fullservice? Yeah, Oh, that means

(14:26):
that they have the gas, theyhave the station, they have the snacks,
they have the air pump, theyhave the car wash. Did I
say that already? No? Okay, And then they have everything the gas
station. They have all of it. Because sometimes they're just a convenience store.
Sometimes there's only gas. Give youa hint, this gas station is

(14:48):
full service. No. I almostsaid you got it and did the thing
again, but that felt mean,so I didn't do that. You it's
have you ever noticed when you goto a gas station it says self service.
They pumped your gas for you.Every gas station pumped your gas for

(15:11):
you. There was a gas stationattendant and a lot of people either listening
or if they're a little bit older, or they have grandparents or parents that
are older. They a lot ofpeople made their livings as a gas station
attend that they would come out pumpyour gas, and while they were filling
up your gas, they would checkyour oil to make sure everything's good.
Yeah, and then you could tipthem if you wanted, I think,

(15:33):
But yeah, it was just partof it was part of the service that
the gas station offered. In fact, I think on the East coast or
maybe way up north, there area couple of towns that still have it,
like a couple of areas that stilldo that. And there are people
that move to other parts of thecountry and they don't know how to pump
gas because they've never had to.You just drive up to the station,

(15:54):
the person fills it up, andthen you drive away. I mean,
I gotta say, I would muchrather prefer that. The idea of someone
pumping my gas is amazing, becauseI hate the only reason I hate getting
gas is because of how dirty thegas pump actually is. It's so dirty,
so I'm always I just don't you'vebeen it's so dirty, and I

(16:15):
just like, well, it's it'sit's interesting because I'll shove my hands in
Texas dirt and it's fine. Butlike people, dirt breaks me out too
much. Like dirt, dirt,I'm kind of with people. Dirt is
too much. Fair enough, Iwould prefer that. Why why why did
that go away? I don't know. I think it was just an expense.
It was it was an unnecessary job, Like you could just get out
and it was unnecessary job. There'sa person that works, Okay, there's

(16:38):
this car wash. No hold on, there's this car wash, and I
guess it's needed, but it's it'sunnecessary too. But it's needed, but
that's unnecessary. You drive up thiscar wash and you're supposed to go through
the car wash, and then afterthe car wash you can park and then
clean out your own car and vacuumyourself. But you go through, like
the electrical car wash, there's aguy standing right outside the little area where

(17:00):
you pay for the car washer.You pull up like like a drive through,
and all I was supposed to dois pay for it and then go
and he just stands there in betweenthe paying thing in the car and just's
like cash your card. That's notan unnecessary job. Why is he doing
that? Because so many people haveissues with how to put the card in,
which one do I select? Ican't get my card out if they
have fingernails, the machine's not workingright, maybe it's not under so they

(17:25):
constantly have to goose. So they'relike, just stand out there and do
it because people are stupid. Butnormally, like parking garages, they get
stuck all the time. But youcan press a little button and someone will
run out. Someone is just standingthere at all times. Someone's going to
explode. What is it doing youguys, take a picture? Why is

(17:48):
it making that noise? On Augustfifth, We're gonna be doing Daughter Issues
live and I'm gonna get to showTelissa how to work a polaroid. She's

(18:12):
not gonna see this picture developed untilAugust fifth, so I'm gonna put it
in a safe dark place. Youcan get tickets right now at nowhere Comedy

flash like hurt me. I feltit in my chest. It was like

(18:55):
all around. That was like aflash bomb, like what I would imagine
when they're like, hey, Irun and you can't see anything. That's
that's what That's what that was.That was intense. It's because you have
rabbit ears what I can see justfine? What is a garment? So

mean a gardener garter the thing aroundthe leg maybe, okay? Garment garment

(19:40):
is like a clothing item. Thehoodie is a garment. Too many gars
for clothing, okay, So whatis some one called garmen? Garmen like
carmen like garments using in a sentence, um, make sure you grab the
garment before we go, or thesuction cup to my garment broke? Do

(20:06):
you have the charger? I knowwhat garment is. Look at the excitement
on her face. Mom had agarment, she did. I just had
like a flashback to remember. Iremember you say, Flash, don't do
that one again, please, Yousaid, flash, I don't want to
do that again. That was alot, Okay, I just thought you
were. It was already bright inhere and my eyes. I can't want

(20:29):
to take so much. I thinkI almost exploded. You would have died
in nineteen eighty four. No,because this sound like build up and then
it just like that's what it feltlike in my body. It was like
just slowly getting more intense. Mybody was like I didn't sounds like an
explosive. That's what they sound likebefore it explodes. How do you know
all your time on the movies,it's like, you know, it's like

(20:53):
trying to keep you focused, bro. A garment is an old, annoying,
irritating, barely working GPS. Yes, And I remember because he used
to be your mom's Dardar dodge Ford. There we go. It was called

(21:14):

cool, and then I never lookedat it ever again. Last one,
you're doing great? What is teenspirit? Teen spirit? Like Halloween?
Wait? Teen spirit? Like?Like, what do you mean? Like

(21:42):
in general the spirit of a teensmells like teen spirit. Maybe they're walking
through a school and everyone's doing cheerleadingand football and teen spirit is in the

(22:07):
air. That's right. You're messingwith me and I don't appreciate it.

it move? Then? What isit? How can the same nous clarify
the signal? But how does thatdo the same thing for sound and video
because they're all coming in on onesignal over the air, all right.
