Speaker 1 (00:49):
You like riding your bike. So if this is the
first time that you're listening, I'm the owner of a
nine acre complete you pullet yard filled with cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles, mowers, RV's, boats,
and much much more. I have a nice little classic
car section. I also have a full service Gee Brangler section.

And check out my website Junkyard Barbie dot com. It'll
give you all the information on the yard. We're located
in Marsville, Pennsylvania, across on beautiful beautiful New Jersey. It
also shows you all my social media. Also, there is
a table there. It's to sell your vehicle. We buy
(01:33):
vehicles seven days a week, no matter what condition. As
long as you're complete, I pay what I say. You're
guaranteed that and all the paperwork does go out to
the state and it is taken out of your name.
Every single week we do that, and my sister Kimmy
is on site a forty year notary title clerk, so
she does all the paperwork for you. So there you go. Also,
(01:55):

(02:34):
huge difference by donating, fostering or volunteering at.
Speaker 1 (02:38):

Your new best friend is waiting. Please spay, please night, nicrochip, microchip, neuter,
and when you do go to the shelters. Please please,
oh gosh, sorry, please check out first the euthanized list,
the longest residents, and also the seniors. Seniors are the
(03:21):
most beautiful. I think, so much better than puppies. Also,
it's really really important Christmas is coming. Please do not
get do not get a puppy, just don't. It's get
yourself a stuffed animal. You know, they're they're easier and
they're cheaper. Because when you have an animal, any kind
of animal doesn't really matter. Cat dog, they're with you

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah. Yeah, so there you go. So Mike has his

Speaker 3 (04:16):

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Now that no, that dating game is not you. But
Mike does own his own I gotta play this for
this is for you.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
He owns his own pool.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
That's from Cadishack.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Everyone.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
If you didn't know, so that's you cleaning it up
at the end and he eats it.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
So tell me, tell me about your business. What's you know?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
What's your business?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
There's two okay, pool works supplies and service, and there's
Custom pool Covers Incorporated.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Now where you located, rich bro Okay?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, So as far as the pool works goes, we
go into open to pool openings and closings, maintenance repairs,
you know, to pull equipment and whatnot. Everything butt construction
and renovation.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Now, how does somebody get a hold of you?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
They call me?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Do you want to give your number out? Or do
you have a website?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Two? One five two eight five nine four let's call
it now? Now you have a website? No?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
How about a Facebook page?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Nope?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
You have an Instagram though, you know how I know
I watch you.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, but most of the stuff I put on there's
just personal stuff with the pool workst name.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Okay, so you're going to okay, all right, yeah, so
tell me what else?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
So and then the Custom pool Covers Incorporated is obviously
just that custom pool covers, safety covers, that kind of stuff.
So get involved in a lot of safety cover replacements
instead of new installs. What's meaning what they have existing
safety cover that's old and worn out and it needs
to be replaced. So I deal with a manufacturer called
(06:06):
Garrett Liners and Fallsington right up the road from your yard.
And they've been a fantastic company. Been dealing with them
since I think two thousand and two, and they make
all my covers for me. Now, okay, you have like,
what is the difference.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I know back in the day they had the plastic
covers my parents used to have, and then they'd have
those you'd have to fill water in them.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
The water bags.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, okay, they're terrible.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I won't even deal with those covers anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Do they have those still?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Do they really?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Okay, tell me what's the difference for somebody who doesn't know?
I mean, what's the difference.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Well, for someone like myself operating a service company. I
work by myself. Okay, I don't have any help. I
don't you know, the public It's not like that at all, trust.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Me, No, no, damn oki as.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Anyway, I do have stories. I do have some stories.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
We're going to hear these stories.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
We have to hear the story point. And they didn't
involve me but co workers. Damn. But anyway. Yeah, the
old tarp covers, they were. They're terrible to deal with.
They're very bulky and difficult to work with. So I
just avoid them. And I tell people if if I'm
going out to open a pool it has one, I said,
will not, I said, that's the last time I deal
(07:32):
with it. We take it off, you get a safety cover.
End of story. Really call a different company. I don't
want to deal with it.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Those safety Okay, finish, and then I'm going to answer.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
You know, they're they're expensive, you know, upwards you know,
two thousand dollars and up looking at me like that, Yeah,
you know, minimum two thousand dollars for an average pool.
Uh and anymore they're they're you know, six and seven
thousand dollars. Why material cost?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
How long do they last? What's a life expectancy?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I prefer to use the mesh covers, the mesh materials.
I've seen some out there for over twenty years. Really, yeah,
a good quality cover will last over twenty years.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Okay, so then it's it's it's worth to put that
money out because bang for your bod. Yeah, okay, that
makes sense.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, I mean it's it's an asset to the to
the property, that's for sure. Is there anything like new,
new and exciting. Yeah, I'll find out next month when
I go to the pool and spa show. Technology is
kind of destroying the business. I don't like it too much,
but it is what it is. I just have to adapt.
You know, the old days of having a pool pump
(08:46):
with an on off switch, that's over. You know. You
have all these really smart pumps that you said all
the time and run time and everything on the pump itself,
get out of the water water.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Okay, go ahead, I forget what I was talking.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
You got to keep it up. You got to keep up.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
You were talking about it, you forget.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Come on, I like to do the sound bites.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
God, but the smart pumps are are are nice or
energy efficient, but they they're painting neck to work with.
We're working on the equipment. But the good thing is
the average homeower doesn't want to touch it, so it's
more work for us.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Really. I remember when I was young, my parents had
a pool when they still have a pool, and but
that was back in the day day. It was like
this eighties, early eighties, seventies whatever, and they had it
and they would be like, go clean the pool. I'm like,
I didn't ask for the pool. Go clean the pool anyway.
(09:54):
So you had to have this skimmer and then you
have to put the hose and through the skimmer into
the thing, and you'd have to like make sure it
was sectioned, and then you would have to do it
and then you I mean, it was a whole thing.
It actually was fun. But first they would make me
take the brush. I had to brush down all the sides,
(10:16):
and then I do it because now it was all lose,
and then you had to watch because sometimes leaves got
caught in it, and then it wasn't coming up, and
then you had to do the skimmer, and then you
have to get the win it again and you had
to put the clear and people I don't think people. Oh,
and I had to do the backwash, so I'd have
to run over. You'd have to like let the shit out,
(10:38):
and I think I can't remember so long ago, but
I think there's leaves and shit would come out. It
would and then I'd have to put it up, come
running back and start all over again. And these kids
don't have a fucking clue. I still go to places
and I have this I was like we're your skimmer.
We don't have a skimmer. What do you mean you
don't have a skimmer? Yeah, they're obsolete.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Now No, well, actually they have solar powered automatic skimmers.
Is everyone that fucking lazy? I love them. It's fantastic.
They just roam around the pool and they stay charged.
And people tell me, you know, they come out of
the house at eleven o'clock at night and the thing's
still roaming around the pools. Hold on the ones that
(11:16):
it looked like a robot thingy, what's that? No, No,
those are automatic pool cleaners that clean the bottom. Then
what's a skimmer? It floats on the surface and just
picks up leaves on the surface.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
So it's like one of those things that you have
at the home that spins around and.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Clean like a room buffer. Is that what it's called.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
No, No, it's it's called I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
It's expensive. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
So now, also, when I was growing up, the pool
that we had because my dad was such a.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Dick.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I love him, I love your daddy, I love you.
But he had this. It wasn't smooth. It was real
rough on the bottom, and he had stone all around
the side.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Okay, so that he was like, you don't slip.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
But he also didn't realize when we ran and he
put all that stuff out there, our toes underneath used
to get like raw from running and then jumping in
the pool. And then you know what, he gets older.
We have grandkids. You know what he does. He makes
it all soft for them. Bitches. I don't want to
(12:32):
take it a pool. Yeah, do they do that?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Still? No? You know anymore? Most pools are very custom Yeah,
and a lot of people don't do concrete. They'll do
like like a flagstone, that's what it was. It was
concrete or limestone or something like that, which I don't like.
I prefer concrete around the pool. Okay, at least three
feet of concrete or.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Concrete in the fucking pool too. Yeah, fucking feet. Now
I go in there and I'd like curse those little
kids out.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Now here's a question. I only knew there to be water,
and now there's salt water. No, okay, what is that.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Huge misconception in the pool business. Okay, let's go fantastic marketing.
You think you have a salt water pool, No, you
have a chlorine pool. You are using salt and electrolysis
to generate chlorine.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
What yeah, so that's not salt. No, No, not at
all interesting.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I mean you have to dump a lot of salt
in the water for the electrolysis to work. There's a
module that goes in the plumbing and water passes through
and it creates chlorine.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
So all it is is you don't have to put
chlorine in your fucking pool.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
It's a very expensive way to add chlorine because the
modules only last maybe three or four years, and they're
you know, over one thousand dollars. So if you don't,
you don't save any money.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Well who got okay, who would get something like that?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
People? Why I'm trying to sit here and figure it
out like this because they've been successfully brainwashed into thinking
they need it. Okay, what is that? That's me?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
You want to hear what I use in my pool?
I don't because I go down to the hardware. I
got a big baby pool. I put it out back,
I put water in it, and I lay in it.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
That's all you have to do, and I'm happy. No chlorine,
no downtime. No. If the dudes go walk around the
back part of your property and hop a fence.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And we're talking about they don't have any hopping around
here in Bastards. We're talking about an easy pool, but
your pools are not easy.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
How much is it?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
How much does it run somebody from beginning to and
of you starting.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Depends on the pool and the attitude of the customer.
I'm not I'm not making this up. Why why there's
certain pools and certain people that I don't want to
get involved in. I just don't want to. I don't
want to do it if if you know, I go
through an interview process with every new customer, really all right,
(15:23):
yeah you have to. You know, if someone calls me
up and they said, oh, I didn't like the last
pool company and they were doing this, that and the
other thing, and and uh, you know, and then this
other guy came out he did something wrong, and I ask,
who is it? And if they say, you know, it's
it's Aqua Pools here in Richborough or Crystal Clear Pools
(15:43):
in Southamtons. Yeah, it's not the pool company. It's the
customer that's the problem, because you know they I know
all that, the locals that have been around the time,
and I know that I know who does the good work,
like Aqua Pools and I used to work for them. Yeah,
Leslie's Pools. They it's a big corporation. They have. You know,
(16:03):
I don't even know how many technicians in the area now,
but you know, I know they may do mainly good work.
So but there's a few I'm not going to name
names that it's like instant as soon as they mentioned
the name, like yeah, the pool company, Screwgain. Well, you know,
it's funny.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I was just so many earlier today where we were
talking and it's the same thing when somebody says, well,
I wasn't happy and they give you the name. Someone
said to me, why don't you do that? And I said,
because then I would do that to you. Yeah, that's
no one's business. There's a reason why I'm not going
there anymore. And that's all you need to know. And
I'm happy there you go.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah, yeah, simple procedure. But then there's customers. It's like
I give them a I don't want to do this
job price, and if they go for it, it is
what it is. I don't get too much of that though.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
But you also have a great you have a great
customer base like I do, Long do, and they're loyal,
which is hard to find anymore. So you're very, very lucky.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
And I tell stories like this all the time. I
have customers that I watched their children come home from
the hospital when they were born and cleaned the pools
for that child for their college graduation.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Are you serious?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Like, yeah, that's so cool. Yeah, all right, now I
got one for you. Okay, tell me one of.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
The craziest things you've ever found in the pool?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Oh, the duty. No, I wish that'd be simple, thankfully.
I've never found anything like that in a pool. There
was a job in writes down. Customer just purchased the house.
It was a foreclosure deal. I think they bought it
at auction. They have no idea what they bought. But
(17:49):
it had a pool.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Oh no, I'm scared.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Fiberglass pool in the backyard. And the previous owner went
through a nasty divorce, I guess, and I guess the
man of the house cheated, and pretty much every one
of his possessions was in the green, nasty water in
the bottom of the pool.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yeah, giving it up for her, giving it up for her.
What was in there?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I can't remember golf, like high end golf clubs because
I remember looking at that. They were they were you know, bicycles, clothing,
you name it. We were. And the thing is it's
a fiberglass pool, so we can't drain it. We had
to clean the water. Oh and was it packed packed?
So I mean I was going with the skimmer net
blind because you can't see the bottom. And I'm pulling
(18:39):
up you know, golf clubs, pulling up this, that the
other thing. And I'm like, what the heck happened. She's like,
oh yeah, they got divorced. I'm like, oh yeah, wow.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yeah it was that bad. Anything else? What's what's the
best thing you've ever found in there?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Turtle? Turtles are my favorite? No, shut up, I just
got rid of that kid. Look good the turtles.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Get How many turtles have we.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Found probably over the years, about six or seven maybe
that's it. No, not a lot. But the best one
was just uh, it was after a heavy rain. I
was somewhere your life.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
At the waterfront village with my friend the zombie Jonathan.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
You're looking good, Jonathan, just got an awesome face paint job.
What do you think? I like turtles?
Speaker 1 (19:31):
I like, sorry, I'm addicted on one more time.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I like turtles. Mike like turtles too, so go ahead. Anyway,
I was doing a job right in Somerton area, and
I was right after a heavy rain storm, and I
went to the backyard swimming pool, and all of a sudden,
I'm like, the heck is that thing floating around in
the You know? It was a little box turtle about
(19:58):
the size of a over dour. Oh my gosh, have
his way like in this in this you know, nice
clean force. That's so cool. So I did what I
shouldn't do and took it home. Oh no, you don't
do that. I gave it to my brother in law.
He had it for years, longest time ever and I
(20:22):
don't even my sister might still have it. But yeah,
I know, it's not what you're supposed to do, but
I did. I did what I did.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
And how long did he have it for? They can
live a really really long time?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Years?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Really?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah, probably over twenty years. Yeah, that's a good story.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
That's like a happy ending because he could have been
out in the wild and gotten neat.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, do you know what I mean? I could have
just died in that chlorine pool.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Oh that's true. You want to hear something crazy, Okay,
the motherfucking frogs down at my heart. Well, I have
the gas and you know whatever, and it's everything's done properly.
Put them motherfuckers make babies. They're swimming in it.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Who is what is it? Frogs? Oh yeah, frogs yeah?
And gas. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I'm like these motherfuckers.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Yeah, I'm like.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Is this even possible? Can this even happen? It happens,
it does. Yeah, So that's I want to hear something like,
you know, sexy or something something funny.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Well, I got some poor guy busted one time.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
What do you mean you got him busted?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I think I was working for Leslie's Pools at the time.
We get this call for a a hot tub repair.
This woman called up and she shipped that the hot
tub's not working right, the pump isn't working, and so
I go down to fix it and noticed that there
was something stuck in the pump and peller, which is
you know what moves all the water. And she was
(21:56):
standing over my shoulders. And what I usually do is
stick a pair of long nose pliers into the pump
and pull out whatever debris is fucking there. And what
happened There was a thong and I'm just laughing at it,
and she turns red and embarrassment. I'm holding it my
pliers and I said, what are you embarrassed about it?
(22:18):
I said, it's just kind of amusing. She's like, oh,
those aren't mine. I said, you don't have to be
embarrassed about that. No, they aren't mine.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Oh my gosh. She got angry.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
That's sort of a bitch. You know. I just got
back from a business trip and I was like, bull,
you know, pumps fixed, he's done. Guess what he should
have thought?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
He should have thought about it.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Before the pool.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Make there's Mike the poolman here.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I come. I'm gonna clean up your pool.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
That's right, I'm gonna take my big long ride and
just shove it. I mean, I'm good at this.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, come on, watch. I don't have too many good
stories about that.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
No, come on, years, anybody come out like they knew
you were coming over and laid out without shirts on
and all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:17):

I worked for Leslie's. Wow, because we used to call
every customer the night before and give them a window
of said they knew that's so awesome. Sea.

I think that's cool. You have a you have a
cool life. And then we're going to get into how

prick tell me how you really feel. I'll tell you
how I Oh.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
So, anyway, go ahead, Yeah, so what we met? How
many car shows ago? Well over a decade ago. I've
been going to car shows for like nineteen years. Well
you know that picture of sitting on the army truck,
that's at least fifteen at least fifteen years ago.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Yeah, yeah, that to have been maybe longer probably. Gosh,
it's really funny.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
We're all young. We still are young. Yeah, well you are.
You are too.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
No, I'm weather too, but it's it's in your head.
I tell everybody I I'm.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Peter Pan with a little bit of windy and a
lot more of motherfucking Tinka Ball.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
You're not only as old as you think you are.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Though.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
I hate when I see women tried to dress younger
than they should. Some women can get away with it,
and there's things that you know you shouldn't wear. Listen,
I basically wear the same shit. I haven't been stopping
combat boots, work boots, sneakers, always jeans, a little wife beater,
(26:24):
T shirt, sweater.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Do you know what I'm saying you can get away
with that, but a lot of times people tried to wear.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I can't just I can't explain it. I wore something
I got somebody said, oh, listen, this will fit you,
and I was like, oh, and it did. But when
I looked, when I looked in the mirror, I was like,
it's not appropriate. Not that it wasn't appropriate, it was
like kind of done that stake.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
I know, right.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Well, I can't say how young the thing is. And
they were like, there's no way she's gonna fit in this.
And when I put it on, I was like, everyone
was like, yeah, that's so awesome. And then I looked
at it.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I went, I do know that when something is inappropriate,
then you know it's fucked Then I really think it's
fucked up, because I don't really think much is inappropriate.
I think everyone is just too you know, butt hurt
over everything.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yeah, you know what I mean. Like to me, it's
all like.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
So anyways, I amused myself.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yeah we went way off track again.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah no, but I'm gonna pull us back in. So
we met each other at a car show and then
three no, two years ago, we were it was at
the Sam's Market in Langhorn.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Oh yeah, I don't remember that. Yeah, I don't remember
which what it was called. But you were there.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
I was there and we ended up talking for like
over two hours. Yes, and you really helped me.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
And it was excessively hot, and I saw you almost
kill a guy for letting the dog walk away. I
know you're going to do that. Yeah, that happens to
me a lot.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
I get into fights with people. Yeah, that little that
fucking dick. You know, everybody was on Everyone was on
him too. And I think there was another time we
were somewhere and I was I think maybe that was it,
and I was screaming at the guy and everybody was like,
you know, thank you for saying something. And I'm like, well,
why didn't fucking you'd say something?
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yeah? I agree. You don't. You don't do that. You don't.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
You don't take your you don't take your dogs out. Listen,
I've a rottweiler, he's black. I don't take him out
of twelve fucking o'clock in the afternoon and a hundred
degree weather. You take your animals out early early in
the morning on heat like that, and then you take
them so dusk dusk to dawn.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Just like your humans. Yeah. Yeah, I don't want to
be out on met.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
People are fucking assholes, yeah, Dix. But anyway, so anyway
that happened. You took me up with the animal thing.
Thanks go ahead.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Yes, we were at that show and then when you
started talking about your your jeep yard, that's one we
had to figure it out.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Yep, you helped me. I'll tell you about You helped
me a lot. You've taught me a lot. You're just
an all around, like really great dude. Yeah, yeah, you are,
and you have great eyes. I'm not hitting on you
because we're all buds, me, you and Lauren. We call
each other the three amigos. We go to all the
car shows together. And then it got like weird because
(29:50):
just things were like whatever, and then it came back in.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Yeah. Well Lauren's always busy. Yeah, one of the hardest
working people I've ever met.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
She's amazing. He's been on here several times. Actually, she
was on here the one time and someone else was
on it and I ended up scrapping that show because
of who was on there. Can't taint Lauren, you know
what I mean. She's just no one's going to taint
her like I'm not going to have a show.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
You know what I'm saying. She's just such a great person.
She's so hard worker.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Yeah yeah, I mean if she sees that, she'll be
happy as ships.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
She saw that, did you take a picture? Oh my gosh,

Collins farm to work on it yet.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
I would like to see that. I always wanted to
be with a farmer, like a cowboy.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
His girlfriend Trish might have a problem with this.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
But now I didn't say I wanted him. I just
said I wanted to be with a farmer.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
You should come over sometime, you know. I think it's
you saw the cows in the video.

They're so cute.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Yes, I can't my supervisors. Really they've got pigs and

Speaker 2 (35:07):
Probably? Yeah, I'll tell Colin we're coming.
Speaker 1 (35:09):

kind of other things do they have there?
Speaker 2 (35:16):
I don't go in the barn often that often they
have ducks.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Imagine being able to build it?
Speaker 2 (35:23):
What is that? Imagine?
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Can you just imagine just imagine that, imagine building the
barn a lot of Hey, like these guys, these are
the Peterson which you McCall brothers. They're singing it. They're
going to sing tractor songs. Oh but we're not going
to sing that. So Why are you into tractors? What
(35:46):
made you get into the whole tractor thing?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
I really don't know what it was. I think my
father in law mainly because he has he has a
property in Bristol Township. Long story, he had it's got
property behind it, and he had to clean up the
property and he decided once it was cleaned up, he
wanted to maintain it and he wanted to use an
old tractor, and he bought an old John Deere and
(36:15):
did a full restoration on it and he uses at
the mo and then he got the addiction bought another tractor.
Really is that what happens? And next thing you know,
there's fifteen tractors on the property down there, and I
got into the maybe not fifth. I think he's got twelve.
I think that's what we counted, damn. And he's still
(36:36):
working to find more. So but we're totally polar opposits.
Is this the green tractor song? Yes, we can go
to the shoe, we can stead died on a big
stream tractor. We can go so are we can go faster?
(37:00):
Eve Falls? You? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Did you ever do it on a tractor?
Speaker 2 (37:09):
No?
Speaker 3 (37:10):
You and Pam never got crazy on a tractor. Damn,
find a cowboy or a farmer. That would be the
first thing I would do. I'd say, let's take a
look a ride, and we're gonna go out there.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
With the big things coming and all the shooting the
stuff coming out, and then Jim Bob, we's gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
No, never, No, I don't even have a tractor of
my own anymore.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Do you ever get busy in your army jeep with her?
Speaker 2 (37:40):
Nobody ever wants to ride in that army? What the
you know? What it's gone?
Speaker 1 (37:46):
How does nobody?
Speaker 2 (37:50):
That's kind of that thing. I'd buy vehicles that no
one wants to write in.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
I think you're doing on purpose, he think, come one,
you never got busy in that being big. I was
gonna say, pink that big army tractor with her? Anyhow, Listen,
(38:16):
it always goes to some kind of secks.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
I know that, and I'll avoid the subject. You want
to see me avoid that subject? Damn you avoided that?
Good Boooo.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Well I can't avoid it. I know that, not because
I have things all over here that's you know what
I mean, it's stuff for people to talk about. But
obviously you did not touch that one with a at all. Wow,
you are a good boy.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
I'm gonna waitness it for TRUC. Shoot, you know what
we're gonna do. We are going to wrap this up.

I pretend I'd fall asleep. Oh yeah, it was horrible.
It was horrible, but I saved them from cancer.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
He would have died. Really yep.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
He had prostate cancer and didn't know it, and I
brought it to his attention. I made him go to
the doctor as soon as possible, and they quick, you know,
did it out? Fix it up for him?
Speaker 2 (40:49):
For me? Secause where and you find out if you

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah. Yeah, so there you go. So Mike has his

Speaker 3 (04:16):
We're not playing the dating game with you.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Now that no, that dating game is not you. But
Mike does own his own I gotta play this for
this is for you.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
He owns his own pool.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
That's from Cadishack.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Everyone.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
If you didn't know, so that's you cleaning it up
at the end and he eats it.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
So tell me, tell me about your business. What's you know?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
What's your business?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
There's two okay, pool works supplies and service, and there's
Custom pool Covers Incorporated.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Now where you located, rich bro Okay?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah, So as far as the pool works goes, we
go into open to pool openings and closings, maintenance repairs,
you know, to pull equipment and whatnot. Everything butt construction
and renovation.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Now, how does somebody get a hold of you?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
They call me?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Do you want to give your number out? Or do
you have a website?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Two? One five two eight five nine four let's call
it now? Now you have a website? No?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
How about a Facebook page?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Nope?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
You have an Instagram though, you know how I know
I watch you.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, but most of the stuff I put on there's
just personal stuff with the pool workst name.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Okay, so you're going to okay, all right, yeah, so
tell me what else?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
So and then the Custom pool Covers Incorporated is obviously
just that custom pool covers, safety covers, that kind of stuff.
So get involved in a lot of safety cover replacements
instead of new installs. What's meaning what they have existing
safety cover that's old and worn out and it needs
to be replaced. So I deal with a manufacturer called
(06:06):
Garrett Liners and Fallsington right up the road from your yard.
And they've been a fantastic company. Been dealing with them
since I think two thousand and two, and they make
all my covers for me. Now, okay, you have like,
what is the difference.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I know back in the day they had the plastic
covers my parents used to have, and then they'd have
those you'd have to fill water in them.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
The water bags.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, okay, they're terrible.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I won't even deal with those covers anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Do they have those still?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Do they really?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Okay, tell me what's the difference for somebody who doesn't know?
I mean, what's the difference.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Well, for someone like myself operating a service company. I
work by myself. Okay, I don't have any help. I
don't you know, the public It's not like that at all, trust.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Me, No, no, damn oki as.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Anyway, I do have stories. I do have some stories.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
We're going to hear these stories.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
We have to hear the story point. And they didn't
involve me but co workers. Damn. But anyway. Yeah, the
old tarp covers, they were. They're terrible to deal with.
They're very bulky and difficult to work with. So I
just avoid them. And I tell people if if I'm
going out to open a pool it has one, I said,
will not, I said, that's the last time I deal
(07:32):
with it. We take it off, you get a safety cover.
End of story. Really call a different company. I don't
want to deal with it.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Those safety Okay, finish, and then I'm going to answer.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
You know, they're they're expensive, you know, upwards you know,
two thousand dollars and up looking at me like that, Yeah,
you know, minimum two thousand dollars for an average pool.
Uh and anymore they're they're you know, six and seven
thousand dollars. Why material cost?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
How long do they last? What's a life expectancy?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I prefer to use the mesh covers, the mesh materials.
I've seen some out there for over twenty years. Really, yeah,
a good quality cover will last over twenty years.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Okay, so then it's it's it's worth to put that
money out because bang for your bod. Yeah, okay, that
makes sense.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, I mean it's it's an asset to the to
the property, that's for sure. Is there anything like new,
new and exciting. Yeah, I'll find out next month when
I go to the pool and spa show. Technology is
kind of destroying the business. I don't like it too much,
but it is what it is. I just have to adapt.
You know, the old days of having a pool pump
(08:46):
with an on off switch, that's over. You know. You
have all these really smart pumps that you said all
the time and run time and everything on the pump itself,
get out of the water water.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Okay, go ahead, I forget what I was talking.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
You got to keep it up. You got to keep up.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
You were talking about it, you forget.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Come on, I like to do the sound bites.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
God, but the smart pumps are are are nice or
energy efficient, but they they're painting neck to work with.
We're working on the equipment. But the good thing is
the average homeower doesn't want to touch it, so it's
more work for us.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Really. I remember when I was young, my parents had
a pool when they still have a pool, and but
that was back in the day day. It was like
this eighties, early eighties, seventies whatever, and they had it
and they would be like, go clean the pool. I'm like,
I didn't ask for the pool. Go clean the pool anyway.
(09:54):
So you had to have this skimmer and then you
have to put the hose and through the skimmer into
the thing, and you'd have to like make sure it
was sectioned, and then you would have to do it
and then you I mean, it was a whole thing.
It actually was fun. But first they would make me
take the brush. I had to brush down all the sides,
(10:16):
and then I do it because now it was all lose,
and then you had to watch because sometimes leaves got
caught in it, and then it wasn't coming up, and
then you had to do the skimmer, and then you
have to get the win it again and you had
to put the clear and people I don't think people. Oh,
and I had to do the backwash, so I'd have
to run over. You'd have to like let the shit out,
(10:38):
and I think I can't remember so long ago, but
I think there's leaves and shit would come out. It
would and then I'd have to put it up, come
running back and start all over again. And these kids
don't have a fucking clue. I still go to places
and I have this I was like we're your skimmer.
We don't have a skimmer. What do you mean you
don't have a skimmer? Yeah, they're obsolete.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Now No, well, actually they have solar powered automatic skimmers.
Is everyone that fucking lazy? I love them. It's fantastic.
They just roam around the pool and they stay charged.
And people tell me, you know, they come out of
the house at eleven o'clock at night and the thing's
still roaming around the pools. Hold on the ones that
(11:16):
it looked like a robot thingy, what's that? No, No,
those are automatic pool cleaners that clean the bottom. Then
what's a skimmer? It floats on the surface and just
picks up leaves on the surface.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
So it's like one of those things that you have
at the home that spins around and.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Clean like a room buffer. Is that what it's called.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
No, No, it's it's called I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
It's expensive. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
So now, also, when I was growing up, the pool
that we had because my dad was such a.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Dick.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I love him, I love your daddy, I love you.
But he had this. It wasn't smooth. It was real
rough on the bottom, and he had stone all around
the side.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Okay, so that he was like, you don't slip.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
But he also didn't realize when we ran and he
put all that stuff out there, our toes underneath used
to get like raw from running and then jumping in
the pool. And then you know what, he gets older.
We have grandkids. You know what he does. He makes
it all soft for them. Bitches. I don't want to
(12:32):
take it a pool. Yeah, do they do that?
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Still? No? You know anymore? Most pools are very custom Yeah,
and a lot of people don't do concrete. They'll do
like like a flagstone, that's what it was. It was
concrete or limestone or something like that, which I don't like.
I prefer concrete around the pool. Okay, at least three
feet of concrete or.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Concrete in the fucking pool too. Yeah, fucking feet. Now
I go in there and I'd like curse those little
kids out.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Now here's a question. I only knew there to be water,
and now there's salt water. No, okay, what is that.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Huge misconception in the pool business. Okay, let's go fantastic marketing.
You think you have a salt water pool, No, you
have a chlorine pool. You are using salt and electrolysis
to generate chlorine.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
What yeah, so that's not salt. No, No, not at
all interesting.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I mean you have to dump a lot of salt
in the water for the electrolysis to work. There's a
module that goes in the plumbing and water passes through
and it creates chlorine.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
So all it is is you don't have to put
chlorine in your fucking pool.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
It's a very expensive way to add chlorine because the
modules only last maybe three or four years, and they're
you know, over one thousand dollars. So if you don't,
you don't save any money.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Well who got okay, who would get something like that?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
People? Why I'm trying to sit here and figure it
out like this because they've been successfully brainwashed into thinking
they need it. Okay, what is that? That's me?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
You want to hear what I use in my pool?
I don't because I go down to the hardware. I
got a big baby pool. I put it out back,
I put water in it, and I lay in it.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
That's all you have to do, and I'm happy. No chlorine,
no downtime. No. If the dudes go walk around the
back part of your property and hop a fence.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And we're talking about they don't have any hopping around
here in Bastards. We're talking about an easy pool, but
your pools are not easy.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
How much is it?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
How much does it run somebody from beginning to and
of you starting.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Depends on the pool and the attitude of the customer.
I'm not I'm not making this up. Why why there's
certain pools and certain people that I don't want to
get involved in. I just don't want to. I don't
want to do it if if you know, I go
through an interview process with every new customer, really all right,
(15:23):
yeah you have to. You know, if someone calls me
up and they said, oh, I didn't like the last
pool company and they were doing this, that and the
other thing, and and uh, you know, and then this
other guy came out he did something wrong, and I ask,
who is it? And if they say, you know, it's
it's Aqua Pools here in Richborough or Crystal Clear Pools
(15:43):
in Southamtons. Yeah, it's not the pool company. It's the
customer that's the problem, because you know they I know
all that, the locals that have been around the time,
and I know that I know who does the good work,
like Aqua Pools and I used to work for them. Yeah,
Leslie's Pools. They it's a big corporation. They have. You know,
(16:03):
I don't even know how many technicians in the area now,
but you know, I know they may do mainly good work.
So but there's a few I'm not going to name
names that it's like instant as soon as they mentioned
the name, like yeah, the pool company, Screwgain. Well, you know,
it's funny.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I was just so many earlier today where we were
talking and it's the same thing when somebody says, well,
I wasn't happy and they give you the name. Someone
said to me, why don't you do that? And I said,
because then I would do that to you. Yeah, that's
no one's business. There's a reason why I'm not going
there anymore. And that's all you need to know. And
I'm happy there you go.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah, yeah, simple procedure. But then there's customers. It's like
I give them a I don't want to do this
job price, and if they go for it, it is
what it is. I don't get too much of that though.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
But you also have a great you have a great
customer base like I do, Long do, and they're loyal,
which is hard to find anymore. So you're very, very lucky.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
And I tell stories like this all the time. I
have customers that I watched their children come home from
the hospital when they were born and cleaned the pools
for that child for their college graduation.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Are you serious?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Like, yeah, that's so cool. Yeah, all right, now I
got one for you. Okay, tell me one of.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
The craziest things you've ever found in the pool?
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Oh, the duty. No, I wish that'd be simple, thankfully.
I've never found anything like that in a pool. There
was a job in writes down. Customer just purchased the house.
It was a foreclosure deal. I think they bought it
at auction. They have no idea what they bought. But
(17:49):
it had a pool.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Oh no, I'm scared.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Fiberglass pool in the backyard. And the previous owner went
through a nasty divorce, I guess, and I guess the
man of the house cheated, and pretty much every one
of his possessions was in the green, nasty water in
the bottom of the pool.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yeah, giving it up for her, giving it up for her.
What was in there?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I can't remember golf, like high end golf clubs because
I remember looking at that. They were they were you know, bicycles, clothing,
you name it. We were. And the thing is it's
a fiberglass pool, so we can't drain it. We had
to clean the water. Oh and was it packed packed?
So I mean I was going with the skimmer net
blind because you can't see the bottom. And I'm pulling
(18:39):
up you know, golf clubs, pulling up this, that the
other thing. And I'm like, what the heck happened. She's like,
oh yeah, they got divorced. I'm like, oh yeah, wow.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yeah it was that bad. Anything else? What's what's the
best thing you've ever found in there?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Turtle? Turtles are my favorite? No, shut up, I just
got rid of that kid. Look good the turtles.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Get How many turtles have we.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Found probably over the years, about six or seven maybe
that's it. No, not a lot. But the best one
was just uh, it was after a heavy rain. I
was somewhere your life.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
At the waterfront village with my friend the zombie Jonathan.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
You're looking good, Jonathan, just got an awesome face paint job.
What do you think? I like turtles?
Speaker 1 (19:31):
I like, sorry, I'm addicted on one more time.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I like turtles. Mike like turtles too, so go ahead. Anyway,
I was doing a job right in Somerton area, and
I was right after a heavy rain storm, and I
went to the backyard swimming pool, and all of a sudden,
I'm like, the heck is that thing floating around in
the You know? It was a little box turtle about
(19:58):
the size of a over dour. Oh my gosh, have
his way like in this in this you know, nice
clean force. That's so cool. So I did what I
shouldn't do and took it home. Oh no, you don't
do that. I gave it to my brother in law.
He had it for years, longest time ever and I
(20:22):
don't even my sister might still have it. But yeah,
I know, it's not what you're supposed to do, but
I did. I did what I did.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
And how long did he have it for? They can
live a really really long time?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Years?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Really?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Yeah, probably over twenty years. Yeah, that's a good story.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
That's like a happy ending because he could have been
out in the wild and gotten neat.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, do you know what I mean? I could have
just died in that chlorine pool.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Oh that's true. You want to hear something crazy, Okay,
the motherfucking frogs down at my heart. Well, I have
the gas and you know whatever, and it's everything's done properly.
Put them motherfuckers make babies. They're swimming in it.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Who is what is it? Frogs? Oh yeah, frogs yeah?
And gas. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I'm like these motherfuckers.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Yeah, I'm like.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Is this even possible? Can this even happen? It happens,
it does. Yeah, So that's I want to hear something like,
you know, sexy or something something funny.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Well, I got some poor guy busted one time.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
What do you mean you got him busted?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I think I was working for Leslie's Pools at the time.
We get this call for a a hot tub repair.
This woman called up and she shipped that the hot
tub's not working right, the pump isn't working, and so
I go down to fix it and noticed that there
was something stuck in the pump and peller, which is
you know what moves all the water. And she was
(21:56):
standing over my shoulders. And what I usually do is
stick a pair of long nose pliers into the pump
and pull out whatever debris is fucking there. And what
happened There was a thong and I'm just laughing at it,
and she turns red and embarrassment. I'm holding it my
pliers and I said, what are you embarrassed about it?
(22:18):
I said, it's just kind of amusing. She's like, oh,
those aren't mine. I said, you don't have to be
embarrassed about that. No, they aren't mine.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Oh my gosh. She got angry.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
That's sort of a bitch. You know. I just got
back from a business trip and I was like, bull,
you know, pumps fixed, he's done. Guess what he should
have thought?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
He should have thought about it.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Before the pool.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Make there's Mike the poolman here.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I come. I'm gonna clean up your pool.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
That's right, I'm gonna take my big long ride and
just shove it. I mean, I'm good at this.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, come on, watch. I don't have too many good
stories about that.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
No, come on, years, anybody come out like they knew
you were coming over and laid out without shirts on
and all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah. Really, Yeah, that was back in the day when
I worked for Leslie's. Wow, because we used to call
every customer the night before and give them a window
of said they knew that's so awesome. Sea.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
I think that's cool. You have a you have a
cool life. And then we're going to get into how
we met.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Okay, we didn't do that. Nope, we didn't do that yet.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
We met in the car world, yes, and we became
very close two years ago when I remember exactly where
we were. You we had me and Brittany took a
picture on your army on the army. Yeah, jerk Off
(24:10):
wouldn't let me. Where's Lauren. We need to ca Lauren.
Let's call Lauren.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I'm not sure if she's home.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
You can't sit in my army kids. You can't put
on that. Oh yeah, what show was that? I can't remember.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
It was the Gaskey Goons and he was somewhere else
and me and law you were there too. Where was
he at? He was somewhere else and I grabbed the
attitude with him I can't remember, and I was like,
I'm just gonna grab his army home. You can't tend
to ony helmet and putting you on your kid. I
(24:48):
was like, these other people let me sit on their
original from the World War Two from there that maybe
they brought over. That was in battle with guns and
you're not letting me sitting your fucking gay ass shit
prick tell me how you really feel. I'll tell you
how I Oh.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
So, anyway, go ahead, Yeah, so what we met? How
many car shows ago? Well over a decade ago. I've
been going to car shows for like nineteen years. Well
you know that picture of sitting on the army truck,
that's at least fifteen at least fifteen years ago.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Yeah, yeah, that to have been maybe longer probably. Gosh,
it's really funny.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
We're all young. We still are young. Yeah, well you are.
You are too.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
No, I'm weather too, but it's it's in your head.
I tell everybody I I'm.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Peter Pan with a little bit of windy and a
lot more of motherfucking Tinka Ball.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
You're not only as old as you think you are.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Though.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
I hate when I see women tried to dress younger
than they should. Some women can get away with it,
and there's things that you know you shouldn't wear. Listen,
I basically wear the same shit. I haven't been stopping
combat boots, work boots, sneakers, always jeans, a little wife beater,
(26:24):
T shirt, sweater.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Do you know what I'm saying you can get away
with that, but a lot of times people tried to wear.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I can't just I can't explain it. I wore something
I got somebody said, oh, listen, this will fit you,
and I was like, oh, and it did. But when
I looked, when I looked in the mirror, I was like,
it's not appropriate. Not that it wasn't appropriate, it was
like kind of done that stake.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
I know, right.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Well, I can't say how young the thing is. And
they were like, there's no way she's gonna fit in this.
And when I put it on, I was like, everyone
was like, yeah, that's so awesome. And then I looked
at it.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I went, I do know that when something is inappropriate,
then you know it's fucked Then I really think it's
fucked up, because I don't really think much is inappropriate.
I think everyone is just too you know, butt hurt
over everything.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Yeah, you know what I mean. Like to me, it's
all like.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
So anyways, I amused myself.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yeah we went way off track again.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah no, but I'm gonna pull us back in. So
we met each other at a car show and then
three no, two years ago, we were it was at
the Sam's Market in Langhorn.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Oh yeah, I don't remember that. Yeah, I don't remember
which what it was called. But you were there.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
I was there and we ended up talking for like
over two hours. Yes, and you really helped me.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
And it was excessively hot, and I saw you almost
kill a guy for letting the dog walk away. I
know you're going to do that. Yeah, that happens to
me a lot.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
I get into fights with people. Yeah, that little that
fucking dick. You know, everybody was on Everyone was on
him too. And I think there was another time we
were somewhere and I was I think maybe that was it,
and I was screaming at the guy and everybody was like,
you know, thank you for saying something. And I'm like, well,
why didn't fucking you'd say something?
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yeah? I agree. You don't. You don't do that. You don't.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
You don't take your you don't take your dogs out. Listen,
I've a rottweiler, he's black. I don't take him out
of twelve fucking o'clock in the afternoon and a hundred
degree weather. You take your animals out early early in
the morning on heat like that, and then you take
them so dusk dusk to dawn.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Just like your humans. Yeah. Yeah, I don't want to
be out on met.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
People are fucking assholes, yeah, Dix. But anyway, so anyway
that happened. You took me up with the animal thing.
Thanks go ahead.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Yes, we were at that show and then when you
started talking about your your jeep yard, that's one we
had to figure it out.

Yep, you helped me. I'll tell you about You helped
me a lot. You've taught me a lot. You're just
an all around, like really great dude. Yeah, yeah, you are,
and you have great eyes. I'm not hitting on you
because we're all buds, me, you and Lauren. We call
each other the three amigos. We go to all the
car shows together. And then it got like weird because
(29:50):
just things were like whatever, and then it came back in.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Yeah. Well Lauren's always busy. Yeah, one of the hardest
working people I've ever met.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
She's amazing. He's been on here several times. Actually, she
was on here the one time and someone else was
on it and I ended up scrapping that show because
of who was on there. Can't taint Lauren, you know
what I mean. She's just no one's going to taint
her like I'm not going to have a show.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
You know what I'm saying. She's just such a great person.
She's so hard worker.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Yeah yeah, I mean if she sees that, she'll be
happy as ships.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
She saw that, did you take a picture? Oh my gosh,
So what do you think about this? My g I

the Peterson which you McCall brothers. They're singing it. They're
going to sing tractor songs. Oh but we're not going
to sing that. So Why are you into tractors? What
(35:46):
made you get into the whole tractor thing?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
I really don't know what it was. I think my
father in law mainly because he has he has a
property in Bristol Township. Long story, he had it's got
property behind it, and he had to clean up the
property and he decided once it was cleaned up, he
wanted to maintain it and he wanted to use an
old tractor, and he bought an old John Deere and
(36:15):
did a full restoration on it and he uses at
the mo and then he got the addiction bought another tractor.
Really is that what happens? And next thing you know,
there's fifteen tractors on the property down there, and I
got into the maybe not fifth. I think he's got twelve.
I think that's what we counted, damn. And he's still
(36:36):
working to find more. So but we're totally polar opposits.
Is this the green tractor song? Yes, we can go
to the shoe, we can stead died on a big
stream tractor. We can go so are we can go faster?

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
