Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Ha, I mean a picture.Yeah, you like that. I do
like that. I never liked that, you never like why? I don't
know. I never thought it wasthat great a punchline, but that he
like fucks his mom and becomes stupid. Like, No, I can't say

(00:21):
I was a fan of that.Why the epic Family Guy clip? Is
it because he didn't like I'd neverseen I'd never seen Back to the Future.
Yeah, that's what I was gonnaask, like, have you never
seen it? So now that youhave, because you ever so want do
I have? Do I have moreappreciation for the Family Guy kind of on?
Now you know you were back tothe future? My mom for Christmas

(00:42):
one year, I think it waslike two years ago at this point,
Um, so I was moving toCalifornia. Should give me a Twin Peaks
mall and T shirt twin Pines.Yeah, I think I'm thinking thinking of
Twin Peaks just because it has Californiawritten on it, and so she gave
me that and not really why Yeah, because just because I had calif Of
course she doesn't know. I likeBack to the Future, like I watch

(01:03):
it like once. I just wearit because it's easy. It's like a
white shirt with like the whole thingon it. But it's not bright white,
which I like. But Ronicky heit's it. No. I The
only reason why I hate it becausehe wears it every day. I don't
wear it every day. I lookat this, but every single time we
go I I get complimented on theshirt. Everyone's like, nice shirt,

(01:23):
And I always look at Ronca like, yeah, it is a nice shirt.
Yeah. Every time he goes outhe does get complimented the shirt.
But I'm like, yeah, butwould you say nice shirt five days in
a row? Probably not, Ithink so smiles. It is always coincidental
that you happen to be wearing thatshirt and then like that same day,
I tell you I hate it,and somebody else tells you they love it,
yeah, which motivates me to wearanother day. Remember one of our
friends would always wear like very outtheir clothing, and every time we went

(01:47):
out, somebody complimented them. Butbut like in reality, wearing that kind
of eccentric clothing just like on anevery day, day by day basis is
just kind of kind of lamb.Yeah yeah. And then they went to
Ireland US and that kind of clothingdid not like giant like boots and like
they got palmer Jack instantly made funof the whole time we were in Ireland.

(02:07):
They were being made fun of byIrish people, so they didn't even
like hear what they were saying orprocess. Yeah, they had no idea,
Like an Irish guy go, I'mgetting wronging, he just would have
He would have no idea. Ilike, oh, they're making fun of
you, and he'd be like,who what guys. We just got back
from the All American road trip.Welcome back, Welcome back to the set,
to the meet and half West set. We've hadded old Baldy basics that

(02:29):
we were bricishly given. Thank youBaldy, no kidding, thank you Micah.
Yeah. We also a little gumballmachine. Yeah we got a little
Benson. I'm gonna put a littleface on that. Um. You know,
we just got back from the roadtrip two months ago. They don't
have to know that, so Iguess they already know that. Yeah,
we were releasing a backlog of episodes, which we didn't get as much as

(02:50):
we thought, just because while onthe road trip, we had like a
couple of like snags in our scheduleand it resulted in us like having more
time in certain places, but thenother times, for a couple of people,
I would forget to like reach outto them to like decide on a
deb until like two days before,so like a week before the road trip,
we had to get an itinerary.Well I got an itinerary ready,

(03:12):
um, of all the people thatwe were going to meet, and I
scheduled how we were going to get, how much time, where we're going
to sleep, Um, where I'mgoing to have to drive, because I
drove the whole time the world championhere. Um. But yeah, I
had to make an itinerary of everything, and so um the states that we

(03:34):
were stopping by were kind of chosenby who was closest, and we just
kind of yeah and who we needed, who we were going to interview,
and who we were going to meetup with, and who was closest,
and so we just kind of madelike a snake all around the country.
Yeah, but it was a lotof fun. It was we didn't get
to meet up with a couple ofpeople just because they were either like on
a time or they were like,oh I'm busy this day, I can't
I can't do it. But itwas only like a couple. Yeah,

(03:57):
it was only like three. Butthen other times we meet up people and
they'd be so cool and like chillthat. We're like, we don't want
to ruin a vibe by recording apodcast, let's just chill out for the
day. We would be hanging outwith it, like we hung out with
Billiam girlfriends here put put Billiam righthere. Um, well, we were
hanging out with them and and Idon't know, we're just having so much
fun. I was like, fuckit, I don't want to do a
podcast, like I don't want tohave to get corporate America on the No,

(04:19):
I'm kidding, but you know whatI mean. Yeah, it was
fun. Um, it was areally good time out of the whole thing.
I mean, what was your Theworst place to stay was Florida.
Definitely, you didn't know it wasthe worst place to stay. Florida was
the worst, No, dude,New Mexico, New Mexico together. Yes
we did. We on the web. But they had really good Chinese.

(04:41):
Okay, Okay, see that bringsit up in my mind, that does
Okay. Okay, to give contexthere, me, Mark and Sonny had
to drive back from Florida all theway to California, right, and we
only had four days, no,three days. Yeah, we had three
days to get back to California becauseMark's family was going to be coming in
town, and so I kind ofhad to like bustos. I had to
drive like ten hour fifteen hour days. No, ten hour not fifteen.

(05:04):
Yeah that was only the first time, but yeah, ten hour days.
And so by the time it waslike the last stretch of the road trip,
we were in New Mexico and NewMexico and I'm sorry for any of
you fans who lived there. Ohthey agree, it's a ship hole.
New Mexico as a ship hole.Everyone you spoke to in New Mexico was
like yeah, And so we wekind of were just like fucking around a

(05:27):
bit, and I was kind oflike still deciding. I just driven ten
hours from Dallas all the way toNew Mexico, and so I was kind
of like still deciding whether or notwe were gonna just like a hotel or
go back just fuck it and goback home for fifteen more hour drive,
just go home home their way thatwe'd be wasting a day because we just
sleep all of the next day.Anyway, Yeah, yeah, we would
sleep. We didn't. We juststaid over in New Mexico. But I'm

(05:47):
glad we did because we went tothis Chinese place, the shitty, run
down Chinese, because I really wantedChinese. It was called the Golden Dragon.
Yeah, a generic name, yeah, very generic, and it was
some of the best Chinese food Ithink I've ever had. But to set
the stage for you, guys,um, they're every house, like every
building, every house, every businessthat was around this, like Chinese food

(06:12):
place like shut shut, burnt downto the ground, boarded up, just
isolated. The town. We werein, Tucum Carry. The town was
just fuck all isolated. We werein Tuca and Henry, Yeah, Tuca
and Henry Yeah. No is thatisn't the the little mean where it's the
kid and he's like, nobody likesmyosepucam Toucan Henry Yeah, Henry, Okay,

(06:35):
it's like the boy you're ripping upthe thing and no one, God
damn it. Anytime you say that, I I think of that. And
then he walks away. Nobody likesTucan. Henry, Yeah, put a
little picture of real quick. There'slike a little stread dogs running around the
whole place. Was like overtaken bylike stray dogs, like they're like nobody.

(06:59):
I didn't see a single person likewalking a dog or going out for
a walk in general. It wasjust isolated and desolate. Yeah, but
this Chinese place was like and I'dwanted Chinese food for a long for like
four or five, no, likea week. Yeah, I feel like
yeah, yeah. So we finallydropped off and it was really good.
It was the best Chinese food I'veever had in my life. But it

(07:20):
was really good. Maybe it wasbecause we were like extraordinarily tired and we
had been eating like fast food oryou know, like like what do we
have that day? Just subway?Yeah. Yeah, all we had was
subway and like you know, snacksfrom like gas station stuff. No,
not like a really like a sitdown, proper meal. Yeah. The
best part too, is we gotour food. We eat our food.

(07:41):
It was so good. Sonny stillhadn't fucking arrived yet. He's the only
one who didn't get his sunny.Sonny was the only one who did not
get his food on time. Bythe time me and Mark finished, Sonny
just got his food and he gotGeneral Sal's chicken, which, by the
way, by the way. I'venever had that, and Sonny always always
talks about it, and so whenhe ordered it, I was like,
I was done with my meal,m and I look over at his and

(08:05):
I was like, damn, hisfood looks pretty fucking good. And so
I was like, you want some, and I was like, hell,
yes, I want some, Dude. He had he ordered the best thing
on the menu. Dude. Ifelt really bad because he kept saying like,
help yourself, help yourself, andI was like, I fucking will
I kept taking his food off ofhis blate and is eating it myself.
Yeah, it was the best chime. So if you're in tucumcarry go to

(08:28):
the Golden Dragon. But that putsit so that puts it above Florida or
in Florida. It's fuck. It'sI could not believe how hot it was.
Everyone else has Florida's hot, andlike I'm like, oh, I'm
in California, so I get howhot it is, but yeah, it's
really humid, and stepping out ofthe car right away, I was like,
oh, I get what that.We were like has like beads of
sweat forming. We were in likewhere Miami. We were in our first

(08:50):
stop was um near Miami. Yeah, so it was around that area.
It was so fucking warm, itwas fuck off hot. Yeah, I
didn't want to do anything. Thenwe went to It makes me think,
like, how the fuck does anybodylike mow their lawn? How do they
like they how do they carry theirgroceries from their car to their like the
front door without melting like a builder, you know, dude. Um.

(09:11):
We went for a bit to meetsGe and the Song show. We went
up but near the top of mFlorida, Florida, and that was just
like fucking you. But you knowwhat's so weird about Florida is that because
I'm used to California. Okay,I'm used to where like you drive maybe
like five miles down this road,you're going to find a freeway and the

(09:31):
freeway is gonna take you to anotherfreeway that takes you to another freeway and
then you get to where you are. Right. That's just that's like the
joke of California. We have amillion freeways. But in like Florida,
you take like one highway that's justlike a dirt road. It's a straight
line that goes fucking nowhere, andthere's like a jumble. There's like monkeys
and on the road at least thefucking Julian flattened on the road like skid

(09:54):
marked, you know, like you'rein the middle of fuck all. And
then all of a sudden, sohere's the city, here's an Orlando.
It's like, what's okay? Um, But yeah, no Florida, he
ded it would never want to moveforward. I was going to move to
Florida originally when I was coming toAmerica, and I told you, I
told you, Yeah, I waslike, don't move to Florida. Florida
is shit. Yeah it was.It was the right decision. Yeah,

(10:16):
it was the right opinion. Yeah, Florida though, like they have resorts,
you know, Disneyland, you havelike pools of stuff, you know
what. Um. I think itwas around that Miami area where we were
staying in a hotel and I likedthat hotel a lot. Actually, they
gave you free coffee in the lobby. Yeah, it's pretty good. Whatever
hotel. It was. Then whenwe were meeting Billy, it was around

(10:37):
Orlando. Actually it was it wasOrlando in Orlando, and it was really
good. I had like a likea waterslide and a lazy river. Yeah.
It also had a hot tub,which you guys will be hearing the
white Oh god, we will tellyou. We will tell you. Awkward
experience of happen in Florida. Floridadid kind of suck. The people we

(10:58):
met up with in Florida we're great, but Florida itself sucks. Um,
well we should we should probably,you know, kind of start this off
with, like, Okay, soFlorida was your least favorite. Yeah,
okay, New Mexico is my leastfavorite. Virginia was definitely my favorite.
Virginia was my favorite too. InVirginia, we met up with Sparks,
Spark and Bendy and U. Yeah, Mica, the creator of Baldise Basics.

(11:22):
Yeah, um, and it was. It was lovely, dude.
Virginia is like one of the mostbeautiful states I've ever driven through ever.
It's like, oh, it's sonice and the air so fresh, and
like, we went to Virginia Tech. Saber Sparks showed us around Virginia Tech.
Beautiful campus, beautiful, like littlecollege town too. They got the
rant Sona turkeys everywhere. Yeah,they have the big memorial for the school,

(11:48):
the big Virginia tech shooting. Yeah, and then Ronick is like stepping
on the I was like stepping onlike memorial stones, thinking it was just
like little walking stones. Yeah,Saber sparks like, oh, you shouldn't
do that. Down I was like, oh fuck, well, I have
like a cigarette in my hand.I'm like the most disrespectful person ever.
Was like, oh shit, I'msorry. Um. Yeah, Virginia was
really nice. Um but then otherplaces like, um, I like to

(12:11):
go into seeing Philadelphia that was cool. Oh I love Philadelphia. U.
Sunny's neighborhood is all right Maryland.This is the second time we went to
Maryland and visited Sonny. It's whatis your old beautiful big fat black Sun
TM. Do you guys want tohear about the first time we check out

(12:33):
last Sunny episode. We're gonna recordanother podcast with Sunny. But where he
so we went originally rand America withJean Jeane Gumball episode. Yeah, guys,
look remember this thumbnail? No doyou remember this though? And there's
a lot of money, Okay,Jane, Yeah, tell me this.
You are in a room and you'rewith Pooh, you're an owl. Go

(12:58):
you put it. So we wentall our way around and the half web
point was Sonny's place. So Janetraveled all the way and then she was
like, I have a friend cominginto time, so I have to go
back home. So Jane took aflight from sunny Land to California. Jane
took a flight to sunny Land toMiami because all of a sudden, yeah,

(13:20):
got stuck her, like second flightfrom Miami to California was canceled,
so she had to fuck off.Yeah, she didn't do fuck all.
And we kind of like it waslike a tag team. Yeah, it
tag for Sonny back home, butI would have preferred Jane staying and sunny
because sunny parts in the car withthe windows rolled up. Um. And

(13:41):
Sonny came back with us to Californiaand he stayed with us for like a
month. He literally stared with usfor a month. That was the longest
we've ever like been with Sonny,yeah, because we had like what two
weeks with We had five days withhim at his house, then two weeks
on the road, and then amonth. Yeah. And then right when
we got back our when we forhim as far back is when he was

(14:01):
at our high school, were likeSonny, we got to record a podcast
when you're here, you got torecord a podcast, like a month and
ahead. We were supposed to recorda podcast at his place when we first
got there, which was in thebeginning of what tired. It was in
the beginning of May. I thinkit was no late April, it was
late April. It was April twentyfifth. Fuck, dude, it's June.
It is twenty something, dude,Holy fuck, what the hell?

(14:26):
Yeah, it went like that.That's really fucked up, dude. We
started planning this in February. Yeah, we started planning this road trip in
February. Yeah. We had wantedto do like an all American road trip
like the year, like the Gooner'sAll American Road Trip for you, like
a couple of years now, andthat turned into the All American road Trip,
turned into the Irish Adventures where Ijust went solo, and then yeah,

(14:48):
and then that turned into everyone justcoming to LA and then it was
VidCon and blah blah blah. Yeah. But yeah, so we finally get
to do it, and we doit for a good reason. I mean,
you know, we get a recordpodcasts for you guys. We also
get to meet a lot of ourfriends online that we haven't got to like,
yeah, it was great properly likeinteract with yeah, yeah, um,
but yeah, we never recorded apodcast or something now that never happened
really, to be fair, wehad just gotten back and my family wasn't

(15:11):
time. Who haven't seen the year, And then after all that, it
was like, holy shit, likeSonny was still in town. Yeah it's
still time. I was just like, it's not like yeah at all,
it's just chill. By the end, it was like an unspoken agreement that
we just were not going to recordit. Yeah, nobody brought it up.
It was kind of like, youknow, like when you're in school
and like everyone's like, oh,the teacher didn't like to talk about the
homework, so nobody bring up thehomework, you know. Yeah, no

(15:31):
one wanted to do the podcast,but no one wanted to just say it.
This is the first time we've recordeda podcast, like two months but
not figured out and uh yeah nowwe're big chilling. Yeah. I want
to do more of the podcast.I want to make it more of like
an experimental thing. I want todo more. I want to do more
game stuff. I want to like, um, I don't know, make
more like podcast stuff on the channel. I want to do more movie review

(15:54):
stuff that'd be fun. I don'twant to do like more WNCH reviews and
I would love to do movie reviews. Or it isn't just like an hour
of us talking on the cut,I would love you highly edited, like
um, like a solid Player ButterflyEffect episode that we talked about like on
Twitter. That was what it wassupposed to be. It was supposed to
be that. Yeah, really hostedabout wanting to do gameplay stuff, but

(16:15):
we've been busy. We recorded likethree hours of Sonic sings three different games,
or we tried to record three differentgames. We played like Kingdom Hearts
for like two hours. Then Ithink we deleted all the foosh. Yeah,
we did deleted. There was anotherone. But then recently when Sonny
was in time, we recorded threehours of Sonic in the Secret rings of
us playing it on our TV andthen I just, um, oh,
it pissed me off. Vernika Kitwas mad the whole time. She was

(16:37):
like, I don't want to playthis game, but I want to look
at this and I hated it.Dude. I played one level and I
was like, this fucking sucks.I fucking hate that, and we were
going to record more, but Sonnywas leaving in like three days, so
it became another like unspoken thing oflike less us time. Would you would
you want to finish Sonic in theSecret Rings? I deleted the footage?
Okay, good, well whatever itwasn't it wasn't very good anyways. I

(17:00):
think it would have been funny ifit was cut up to like the best
bits. True, But I waskind of I was having a bad attitude
about it. Yeah you were,Yeah, I was, um, so,
yeah, guys, if you wantus to play through stuff on the
channel, more fun stuff, thenlet us know instead of Soley's being the
podcast every week. I guess Iwant to take a more loose approach to
it all. Yeah, I thinkwe should just experiment. We should experiment
more with what you know, likecreate more creative things. I think that's

(17:22):
what we need to do, isjust be a little bit more creative with
this other than just us sitting hereand talking. Yeah. At the start,
I had a very like like wepost like once every two weeks and
like it's very professional in this.But now I'm just like I don't care.
Yeah, I don't really care aboutlike views, on this train.
And I don't really care about likesubscribers. I just care about doing fun
stuff. Yeah, Honestly, atfirst it was like that. And I
think it was like that because becausewe were we were working with screen waves,

(17:44):
so it felt like we had thispressure to perform. But honestly,
I could give two fucks if thisepisode gets two k likes or or every
two k views, or like onehundred thousand views. Yeah, obviously if
I got a one hundred thousand,and I'd be like, oh, that's
great. But like, I justdon't want to just like, yeah,
chill out and make shit, putit out, have a good time,
like this is supposed to be aboutus having a good time. Yeah,

(18:06):
And I appreciate you guys watching.Yeah, you know, honestly, I
don't think we really would have committedthis much if it weren't free, like
you guys giving a ship for youguys watching the fans. Do you ever
feel, really, all of you. We always watched John Tron fireworks.

(18:29):
We love the John Trunk remember,Oh my god. But the other day,
the other day we were we werehanging out, we were it was
Jane, it was it Jane's birthday. It was it Jane's birthday? It
was a Margo's birthday where we startedsinging that. I think it was Mars.
That's a good song. Is coveris better than her? Cover is

(18:52):
better than the original. We metsome colorful folks while we were on our
road track. Dude, Okay,we met the weirdest. We met two
of the weirdest people I think I'veever encountered in my life. Well,
Ronica met two of them. Imet one of them. Yeah, I
wasn't there for one. I talkabout this. Jane was there with me
for this first interaction. So well, let's just go into it like it's

(19:15):
one of those scripted podcasts TikTok orI'm like, what really what happened?
And then what happened now? Andthen shadow legends? Okay, go on,
Okay, okay, so set thescene for us. Let me set
the scene. Let me give somesome context, like a little preface,
you know, prologue or whatever,so a little this, a little bit

(19:37):
of that. So essentially it wasme, Jane and Mark. I drove
twenty six hours from LA to Oklahoma. Okay. We had one night of
rest in Oklahoma, and then thenext day I had to drive twelve hours
to Indiana. Um and then westayed there for one day, recorded a

(19:59):
full day. Yeah it was Sammy. Um So we stayed with him for
one day and then recorded for awhole day. And by ten pm I
had to pull an all nighter anddrive all the way to Maryland to meet
up with Sonny. So obviously mylittle Burhowmobile in my car. I could
we call my car the Burhowmobile becausethat's Aaron Hanson's old car, and so

(20:21):
that's just the name, the nameof the car, the Burroughmobile. So
the little poor little Burhowmobile. Sheuh, she needed some new tires and
she needed like an oil change,you know, like driving fucking that many
miles is like a lot, youknow, especially in a Spanish three days.
You'll hear later it like there wasreason to do this, Yes,
yeah, should happened later on,and so um So I was like by

(20:44):
the time we got to Sunnys,I was like, Okay, I really
really need to get an oil change, and I really really needed to get
my tires change too. So Iwas like, oh, I'll just go
to this like one tire place andit's like it's like one of those chain
tire places like Jiffy Lube or whateveryou know, or pet Boys, it's
like one of those. We allwent bowling, so yeah, right next
to right next to the tire placewas like a bowling alley, and so
Mark was like, I really wantto go bowling. Well we had Sonny

(21:06):
did too, So yeah, wellwhenever we all get together, we all
really like going bowling. Four differenttimes. Oh for you, Sonny.
But the bowling had a wet sowe were all just sitting in the bowling

(21:29):
arkey and Ronick was like, well, I'm just gonna go fix my car.
Yeah. It was kind of ridiculous. They like they were like,
oh, it's happy hour right now, there's an event. That's right.
It was an event. You haveto pay fifty dollars per person, but
you get free pizza. But youget free pizza and you get a bowl
for two games, or you canwait like an hour and a half and
bowl for ten bucks. So wewere like, fuck, that will wait
an hour and a half. SoI was like, okay, you guys
go fuck off at the bowling alley. I'll go to the like tire place

(21:52):
and see what I can do.And I was getting pretty late so it
was like almost closing. So Iwas like, okay, I get there
and I walk in, No,he is there. The whole place is
empty, not even like the TVthat they usually leave in the lobby,
like nothing was on. It wasjust like everything. It was like closing
time, you know. Um,and the guy. There's a guy there,
And how I can describe this manis tall, a little bit of

(22:15):
a belly stick, skinny arms,beady eyes, glasses, thinning hairline.
That's the best I get that,you know, just a guy, right,
And so I go up to theguy and I'm like, hey,
listen, well changed on tires whatever. He's like, oh, um,
actually, it's kind of we're gonnabe closing soon, so you should probably
come back tomorrow. And I waslike, oh, okay, yeah,

(22:37):
I can come back tomorrow, noproblem. And then he's like, yeah,
I have to go home to mymy girlfriend. You know, I'm
pretty pissed off at her. Imight break up with her. I just
don't. I don't really know.That's what I got going on. And
I was like, uh, okay, why do you want to break up
with your girlfriend? You know?He proceeds to tell me this, I'm

(23:00):
not I can't make this shit up, dude. I'm just gonna re enact
to you what this conversation was.Like, Okay, oh, why did
she break up with you? Well, you know, the other night,
she really scared me. She reallyreally fucking scared me. She came up
to me as I came opened thedoor, and she came up to me
and told demanded me to leave myphone and my wallet, my keys,

(23:22):
and then she's proceeded to strip medown naked. And I was like,
I don't know, man, thiskind of sounds like a good thing.
Kind of sounds like you had agood time, you know. Oh no,
we didn't have a good time becauseshe was forcing herself on me.
And don't get me wrong, she'sreally sexy, she's really really sexy,
but she would she wanted to handcuffme, and she wanted to do this
stuff to me, and I justit kind of freaked me out. And

(23:44):
I was like, oh, man, that sucks. Well, how can
you want to break up with her? Is that why you want to break
up with her? His response was, no, I want to break up
with her because she keeps fucking otherguys and she wants one of these guys
that she's fucking to move in withher. So I decided I would start
paying her rent at her place soshe has enough money so these other guys

(24:07):
won't move into her house. Yeah. I was just like, um cool.
I was like, I don't know, man, it kind of seems
like she's taking you for a ride, Like she is fucking other dudes while
she's your girlfriend. Oh well we'renot really exclusive. I see. So
you're paying her rent even though she'snot your girlfriend and she's still fucking other

(24:30):
guys. Well, yeah, wegot this thing figured out. You know,

just like ah ha ha ha,you're so adorable. I think. I

he's like, you got like eighteenyears left of fertility in you, You're
still good, and Jane's just like, dude, We looked at each other
like, what the fuck did hedid he really just say that? Like

(28:17):
I didn't know that was like apickup line to go up to a woman

Oh so sexy and it works together. She lives in a tire mansion.
No, no, Jane, We'rejust like what the fuck, Like were

(28:38):
you saying this to us? Youknow? And so then Jane's kind of
like trying to laugh it off,like ha ha h. And eventually,
like it gets to a point wherehe's just like, well, I'm not
flirting with you. I don't wantyou to think I'm flirting with you.
Jane, adorable Jane. It getsto a point where me and Jane are
like, Okay, we really needto like fuck off and get away from

this guy like for a while.So we kind of just like go to
a seven eleven, get a coupleof snacks, get a coffee or whatever.
Come back. I think I gotthe guy in Arizona iced tea just
to be nice, and he's justkind of like we're sitting in two chairs
in the lobby and he's got likehis desk where he's supposed to be helping
people. And mind you, he'shaving this conversation with me and Jane while

(29:21):
there are other people in the building, like while customers are coming in and
out, like this one woman camein sitting hoping to pick up her car,
sat there for forty five minutes,never got helped, and left,
And this whole time this guy istalking to us well anyway, So eventually
by the end of it, afterhe's like talking our heads off, like
bitching about his girlfriend who fucks otherguys, and complaining about his work and

(29:42):
how he's like, you know,overworked and underpaid, but they also need
him. Like this man who hasthese problems in his life that he's he's
just dumping onto us, and whenwe provide some sort of solution, it's
not good enough, you know.It's just kind of like he likes to
wallow in his own self pity sowe just at a certain point we just

(30:03):
kind of like, okay, whatever, you know, where, where's my
fucking car? My car finally getsfixed. By the end of it,
he hands me and Jane two businesscards and it has his name, it's
got his phone number is email.It's like, oh, I'm so and
so running for city council because hewants to be mayor. A little surprised.
Yeah, On the very back ofthe card, he puts down his

I look at his name and hisname. His Snapchat name is like
really girly. It's like, I'mnot gonna say what it is because I
don't want you guys to fuck withhim. But his Snapchat name was like
something like like puppies and rainbows.It was. It was literally like something
like that, like a pairing oftwo girly things together. And so we

But that's what you wanted. Youwanted to like this. This went better
than you could have expected. Itreally did. Yeah, this was a
lot more interesting than I thought itwas, and it made me laugh.
But it was a weirdo. Yeah, but then I was there for the

(34:51):
second weirdo. You really, Idid a majority of the talking. So
the only thing I have to explainprior to prior to what Mark has to
say is this is that Mark hada record for Quagmire, a video he
did, so me and Sonny hadto kind of like fuck out of the
hotel room. So being Sonny,we're at the elevator. We run into
this woman and I'm like, oh, the elevator's taking so long. She's

(35:12):
like, oh, you know,you know what helps me is um,
you know, I like to makea game out of it, like which
door is going to open first.So we're kind of like joking around with
her, and she's like, oh, what brings you here? And I'm
like, oh, my husband andI are working on this up on yeah,
a project, and you know,we're doing a podcast, and so
we're traveling around the country right now. We just happened to be in Florida.

we should talk. We should talkdefinitely, because you know, one of
my really good friends is the creatorof Ninjago just how you know, Lego
Jag. So we let's get incontact. Let's let's talk. And I
was like, okay, sure,So at that point, way later in

(35:58):
the day, we all decide whenyou go swimming, Yeah, well it's
like this is the one day andthe whole trip so far that we get
to like actually enjoy like a hotel. You know, we hadn't we had
somehow gotten all the way to Floridawith arts staying in a single hotel.
Yeah, all of our friends havebeen so nice enough to like allow us
to like spend the nights in theirshout outs to Jean, Jean's parents,
shout outs to Jane's parents, Bandy, Sammy, Sonny and Sonny's family,

(36:23):
Monny and Yeah and Lee ye Lee. Point is, we got all the
way to Florida with Lars dying ina hotel. Um, so we wanted
to enjoy the pool. So wego dine and Ron's like, oh no,
in the hot tub, it's thatleady again. And I was like,
I don't care. We're going tothe pool. You know, we're

(36:45):
not going to the hot time.By the way, it's like super overcasting.
It's time, it's it's nighttime.It's overcasty, but it's not like
it's not it's not warm so cool. A cold pool is not like our
refreshing. It's like it's like,oh, it's a cold pool because it's
during the day, because it's hotas fun during the day, but it's
like not at night. So it'slike, oh, why would I want
to sit in a freezing fucking pool. There's a beautiful jakuzi right now.

(37:07):
The pool wasn't freezing, so Imean, Sonny were like, okay,
great, we'll just go in thepool. No, okay, fuck off
you and Sonny dude, I wasthere was a point where I was like,
I'm gonna go to the jakuzi andthey're like, we're gonna go in
the pool. And I look atSonny and Mark like against the wall,
like not moving, just like it'sone of those things. After you're in
the pool for like a minute,you're like, okay, I'm used to
annoy, so like your body temperaturelike adapts and you're like, okay,
cool. It is great. Justsee them a breast against the wall with

(37:29):
all these kids running around like splashingin front of There's just one little kid
who looked like a mini version ofSunny and he was running right along the
edge where we were at and hewas running and he faily tripped himself.
Mark is trying to get my attention, being like did you see that kid?
I'm in the pool like all theway I'm like. But then after
a while, we just see Veronicagetting out of the hot tub and walking

(37:50):
over to us um because he saidthe lady was like ranting about Jesus.
So that same woman, the actresswoman, and like six other people in
the hot tub, and the actresswoman is preaching about Jesus Christ and like
our Lord and Savior to all ofthese people, and like there's a Jewish
couple in the hot tub kind oflike having this religious debate or discussion.

(38:15):
It came off like more like adebate than a discussion. But they're having
this like religious conversation back and forth, and I'm in between them, like
quite literally, like the woman isright here and the couple are right here,
and They're all talking back and forthto each other, and I'm just
sitting here like what the fuck amI? What is this? You know?

(38:36):
And everybody else who is in thehot tub are just kind of forced
to listen to her like preach.And then this guy correct her, so
I was just like this is Iwas like, okay, one I have
her phone number. She's an actress, she's a religious actress. I'm gonna
get away from this. I'm gonnago hang out with Sonny Mark. So
we have a great time in thepool. We're running around, Um I

(38:57):
somehow get Sonny. I give Sonnya piggyback ride in the pool from one
end of the other. We're doinglike really stupid things where we were like
so he's like, whoa like awater beds, like splashing water around,
like yeah. But the whole time, Ronick is bitching like I want to
go on the hot top, andI was like, okay, Like but
there's the ladies and there's like Iwant to go in there, and I'm

(39:19):
like make it sound like I'm waymore bitchier than I'm like, just enjoy
the pool, and she's like Iwant to go on the hot top.
I'm literally sitting there like this,like you know when you're standing in a
pool, but it's like the shallowend, so like how you're standing here's
like the bottom of the pool.You're like feet or spread as far apart
as possible so you could like getyour shoulders all the way in the water.
I'm like, would have you didn'twant to get your hair wet.

(39:39):
I didn't want to get my hairwet. Um. I was just kind
of like were like, Okay,we'll go in the hot tub. Then
no, wait, we look andthere's three Chabba Chooks people and they are
and I'm like, look, they'rethey're leaving. Let's let's go, let's
get in the hot tub. Yeah. So we got out and we get
in the hot tub and the ladyis still there. She's still running.

(40:00):
My first impression of her, thisis like my first time meeting her because
I was there before, and it'sjust her like being like, oh,
yeah, I've read like the scripturesand the head this, and then the
Jewish Family's like oh yeah, butand this scripture it says like oh this
and this, and she's like,yeah, I reade those two. Yeah.
So she's trying to make it seemslike she's smarter than she is.
But then one of the guys nextto us, who was pretty nice,

(40:20):
he's what we were doing. He'slike a military guy. Yeah. He
asked us what we were doing,and we were like, oh, we're
here doing this and we're filming apodcast with people along the West. He
started asking us about the podcast,and then she immediately like looked over at
her eyes like lit up, andshe started staring at us, and she's
trying to talk to us, likeask us questions about the podcast in the
most like obnoxious web hospel. Andthen we're all sitting there like beside each

(40:44):
other, and then this little blondekid like jumps in the hot tub fucking
kids, splashes in front of Markand points his finger at Mark and he's
like, you're like a comic booknerd, aren't you. Yeah, Like
he's like you look like that.He's like, you look like a comic
book nerd. But he's like,literally, imagine a kid this close,
like pointing this closure, literally pointingup months face like this, and he

(41:06):
keeps doing this, but he's inthe pool, so every time he does
this, it like splashes water.So he keeps doing that in splashing waters.
Yeah, he turns, he turnsto Sonny, and he turns to
me and he's like, you're likethe Red Ranger. You're like the Blue

Yeah, the Blue Ranger, Yeah, Ranger, Power Rangers. And he
starts like splashing around, like he'slike, I know the Power Rangers theme

(41:27):

And then she turns around. She'slike, oh, yeah, that's my
son. He knows all the PowerRangers episodes. Tell them how many there
are, and he's like thirty eightand she's like no, but like his
actual sh like he knows he knowsall of them. He's like showing off
her obnoxious kid and how much heknows about Power Ranger And he's like talking
to her and responding to him.He's not looking at her. He's like

(41:50):
doing like still spitting like he isliterally he is an iPad kid. Yeah,
he's an iPad kid. You knowwhat I mean. I can't deal
with kids iet that. Yeah,Mark really can't deal with kids. Yeah.
I just kind of like, I'mkind of just it was my own
kid, I would be like myown kid, I just know it was
my own Like if my own kidis kind of like being obnoxious or like
Eddie d like, I'd be finewith that. But if it's like someone

(42:12):
else's kid that I don't know.I have no authority over this kid.
I have no responsibility for this kid. I don't care about them, you
know. See, so I don'tcare that he's trying to talk to me
at one of them. This kidis like getting in our fucking face,
you know what I mean. Likehe's yelling. He's yelling in our face
the hot time. He's universally knownthat no kids in the hot time,
Yeah is universe, Yeah exactly.Then so then he goes up to Sonny

(42:34):
and he's just like he looks atSonny and he gets in like I'm not
kidding. It's like imagine like holdinga kid and this is how close they
are. You That's how close hewas to there our faces. Yeah.
So he looks at Sonny and he'slike, yeah, you want to touch
Sonny's afro because I don't think he'sI don't think he's ever seen a black
man or touched a black man's hairbefore. So he was like he had

(42:57):
to seize the opportunity. So hejust like looked at Sonny, process do
I touch this, touched his hairreally like hoping he wouldn't notice, grabbed
his hand back and then started spinningaround. Yeah, and then she was
like, oh yeah. He streamson Instagram Live and the creator of Lego

(43:19):
Yeah, And she's like, tellhim your idea for power New Power Rangers
and she's like, yeah, somedayhe's going to make New Power Rangers the
new show. But then at thesame time, right we are talking while
his kid, her kid is freakingout, and she's gloating about how much
her kid knows about Power Rangers.There's another woman in the hot tub,
genuinely just like asking us questions abouther podcast because he's like, oh,
what's it called. She's like interested. Yeah, So we're like, oh,

(43:39):
it's called Meeting Halfway. And she'slike, oh wait wat And then
she pulls out her phone like theother woman, that crazy woman. What's

Wow. And she's like, youknow, son, look at this.
Look. They interview famous people,so when you make your Lego Ninott
Ninjago show or your Power Rangers show, they'll be interviewing you. So she's
shoving her hand on our fists orhe's shoving his hand in our fists.
She's repeating this nonsense on end LikeI couldn't even repeat half because it was

(44:20):
just so much like it was likesensory overload. He's like spanning, like
doing this in our faces, likeemoting like hitting the greedy, and he's
like walk on water, walk out, you're the Blue Ranger, and then
walk on water. And it's likehe's like there's a point where he was
like do you know where the masteris? You know where the headquarters is.
He's doing it so much to thepoint where it's like she's like,
ten, there's no way he actuallylike believes in his mind that we are

(44:43):
the Power Rangers, you know.But it's like but he does, but
he keeps asking these questions. That'slike and like it's not like he's saying
it. And then we're all like, ha, that's that's funny. You
know. He's like looking for agenuinely looking for an answer, like I
think we are like what the werethe only people? You know? What
it is? Us three, Me, Sonny and Mark look old and off
where we would be considered teenagers andtelevision like in the Power Rangers. So

(45:05):
when he sees all three of usand we all looked different, we're all
friends, were sitting next to eachother, he can't help but be like,
those are the Power Rangers. Maybe, but he was like ten years
old. He looks looked like tenyears old. Did you believe that when
you went to like Disneyland as akid, do you ever believe that the
costume people were the actual characters?Yeah, but I was like five,
not when you were like ten.No, I never went. I'm not
privileged enough to live in a fuckingcountry where Disneyland is two minutes down the

(45:28):
road. No. Okay, yeah, but you got Tato Park though,
Yeah no, it was only builtlike three years ago. I don't know
what he thought, but no matterwhat, we were like, okay,
this is enough. Veronica was likeI've had a part of me wanted to
stay a little bit longer to possiblylike just see where this would go.
But Ronicka was like, I'm gettingeyes. I was just like, no,
I'm done. So we all gotI and we walked away, and
as we were walking away, hepointed Ronicka like walk on water, walk

(45:51):
on water, and then ronickas justignored it and walked away. I was
like, Veronica, we need totalk about this in the podcast. We
need because at one point, yes, we looked over as he was like
doing this in our face, andwe looked over and his muma has her
phone and videotaping her son pointing inour faces, yelling at us out.
We need that fucking video to showon the podcast. And I was like,

(46:13):
well, she did give me herphone number, so Sonny and Veronica
both reached out no response, whygive the phone number? She either stopped
caring or she realized that yeah.But I was like, I'm gonna look
her up. So I looked ather up based off the name she put
in Verronica's phone, and turns outshe is an actress. She was in

(46:35):
a Will Smith movie, but aslike a background character maybe had like maybe
had like one line. I don'tthink she didn't even have a line?
Did she not? Did you watchit? Remember when we saw the clip
that she was in that she usesin her demo, Right, I thought
I thought that she had a line? Did she have a line? Who
cares? Yeah? I guess itdoesn't really matter. She's a background actress
and that's all she's really been in. And then I went on her Facebook

(46:55):
and I find pictures of her withher kid being like he same kid.
He's the most intelligent kid in theworld. I love this guy. And
I'm like, okay, I lovethis little thing. And that's that's that's
her grabbing his cranium for a secondto freak. And Sonny was like,
well, we got to find anotherone on the way home and never find
one. It's because Sonny was thefreak all along. Yeah, Sonny was

(47:17):
the freakly brought on the trip um. But yeah, no, that was
that. That was probably the mostawkward experience of my life. I've never
experienced anything like that before. Howlong do you think that hot tub,
like like in total, from ussitting down to us leaving, how long
do you think that was? Possiblylike twenty minutes at most, It felt
like an hour. Yeah, itfell like an hour. It felt like

(47:39):
really long. Yeah, it waspretty annoying, and it happened like instantaneous,
like as soon as we sat inthe hot tub, this started happening.
Yeah, as we're like fucking tiredfrom from doing all that, the
only day where we can kind oflike unwind and enjoy like our scenery.
Well, Florida was cool for atnighttime when we were staying there because we
got to go down to the littleamusement section. Sonny went in the mechanical

(48:00):
ball. You should put that onscreen right now. Oh yeah, Sonny
on the mechanical ball. And thenSonny wanted to go. No, no,
he did not want to go.We saw the sling shot and Mark
was like, come on, Sonny, I'll go with you if you do
it. Or I was like Iwas like, I've done that before,
and he was really and I wasagain speaking whenever, I was like really
really young, I'm like eight yearsold I did that, which is true.

(48:20):
But then he was like, sowould you do it again? And
I was like, if you wantedto do it, and he's like,
so, so you want to doit? And now I was like if
you want to and he's like,oh, but you're saying that because you
want to do it, and I'mlike, to be fair, Sonny didn't
want to do it. Mark putit in his head, and then and
then Sunny because Mark is brave enoughto do it. Sonny feels like a
pussy if he doesn't do himself.So he's like, Okay, let's do

(48:42):
it. And then I'm like okay, sure, and he keeps the whole
way. He's like, you're reallyreally really doing this, and then I
was like yeah, sure, andwe walk up and Sunny sits nine and
the guy is putting down the thing. He's like, sorry, you're just
a little too big. He couldn'tor well, Sonny was like, will
I even fit? So the guylet him sit down down in the thing
him and like put the lap bardown. It wouldn't reach down enough to

(49:04):
lock by like by like hal bylike half much. Even I wouldn't chance
it if it just barely could lock. Yeah. Before we did it,
I went to rock and I waslike, look, if he's like even
like just barely fits, I reallydon't want to go on this with him
because this will be like a horrorstory where like him being so heavy,
well like fling like us up onthe other wrong wind that will cause you

(49:24):
you to die and ye. SoI was like, I don't know so
and in my in the back ofmy head, I was like, oh,
please say it's too big for this, which he was. He was
too big, But sometimes that comesin handy because we went to Universal with
him with my family and we wehad like twenty minutes in line ride and
Sonny was too big for it.But in return they gave him six three

(49:44):
passes for a ride and we usedit to go on Durassic Park, which
I had like an hour and ahalf a week. Yeah, we skipped
a line that was pretty nice.It was It was a fun road trip.
I would not want to do itagain for a long time. I
wouldn't mind doing it again, butif we had more time we didn't,
I would want to, like nextyear, no time, Yeah, no,
no not. I was pretty dreadful, Like there was more stuff that

(50:04):
I would have wanted to see,Like I wanted to go to Colorado or
see like the Grand Can either junklike that. I want to see Mount
Rushmore. I wanted to see Chicago. Yeah, I wanted to see Yeah,
I would have been nice to seethe Grand Canyon. Sonny really wanted
to see the Grand can. Somaybe sometime we'll do a gooner road trip
and we'll log it too. Yeah, we'll log it for you guys.
But yeah, what do you guysthink of the episodes released? I know
they're already skeffed in places, Yeah, but you know, to be fair,

(50:29):
we were kind of like we wereusing a new camera we hadn't used
before. We were using a taskcam that I had. We were using
like equipment we haven't really used before, and traveling and having to set it
up, and I every day Ihaven't like take it apart and put it
back. No, imagine imagine everyday waking up and being like, okay,
do we have everything? Is everythingaccounted for? Okay, let's drive
ten hours to this place. Okay, let's set everything up like bags.

(50:52):
Yeah, it's like two one suitcasefor lenses, one suitcase for a camera.
So John Finton was great, thatwas the other one. She was
Jesus enough, Greece's enough to giveus these like original storyboards from fairly Odd
parents and I had a charactersized sketchfrom Invader's in And when we met Sergio,
he gave us the little bank Griffinball, yeah, and a bunch

(51:13):
of like Baldy gave us a bunchof fun bald Emerge. Yeah. But
but John Finden gave us the likelittle cardboard thing for the storyboards. We
put the Sergio thing in the middle. So when we get to a Florida
hot yeah Texas, we park andRonnick has been driving all day, so
she's in like a pissy mood.We're going through um where we want to
go to the pool and Vernick islike sure. And we get up to

(51:34):
the room and Ronnick is like,oh, I forgot my my beginning suit
in the I was like, soshe was like, I don't make me
go back to the car. I'mso tired. I don't want to go
to the car. And Mark's like, oh, come on, like twenty
minutes, He's like, we'll justquickly do it. Whereas my idea of
fun would have been let's let's sunnysplash around in the pool and me and
Mark can have a loane time inthe hotel. We did leave him in

(51:57):
the pool for like twenty minutes.He was waiting for us to get her
side. I was like, wouldn'tit be so much more funny if he
just sat there in the pool closed. Yeah. So we eventually I convinced
her to go down to the car. So we're walking out of the car
and we look on the ground besideour car and the big cardboard folder that
John Fountain gave us with all Sergiogifts of sketches. Yeah, on the
ground like right next to puddle too. Yeah, it was next to a

(52:21):
puddle because it was running in Texasand uh it was it was in the
part of the road where cars wouldbe driving on. Yeah, it was
like right, it was like inthe part of like the parking structure,
like the parking spot of the hotelwhere that's the only place you can go
in and out. And it wassitting there for like twenty minutes. So
yeah, if if if we likeit didn't go get ronick is like being
in suit that could have been goneor run over whatever they fall and the

(52:44):
wind, Yeah, we wouldn't havehad them. And then you know why
that was because fucking Sonny was takinghis shit out of the boot and he
sat that on top of the carwhile he was taking a suki aside and
then he closed the boot and thenwalked into the hotel slid off onto the
ground. Know that one dude.Okay, Rusty and Sonny showed us this

(53:05):
fucking video of this guy on thisAsian man on TikTok who is like a
chef, but he makes like themost disgusting like food ever, Like he
has disgusting apartment. He's got ayeah, filthy apartment with like rotting food
everywhere, and he literally just picksit up, shoves it in his mouth
to like chew it, to likecut his vegetables, and then he spits
it out into a bowl and likemicrowaves. Yeah, it's so gross how

(53:30):
he makes his food. But theend result it's like, Okay, that's
not that doesn't like half bad.Presentation is really nice. And then he
cleans up and then video Yeah,and then he'll make it up and then
he makes a new mass. Hemakes like another video where it's like,
yeah, him cleaning his hog asskitchen, like his nasty ass fucking home.
Yeah, it's pretty bad. It'sreally gross, but it was really
funny and interesting. Yeah, that'sa lot of fun. Meeting John was

(53:53):
a lot of fun to it.He was so accommodating and so sweet.
Shout out to John. He boughtus like really good sandwiches too. Mark
was like, that was like oneof the best sandwiches I ever had.
Yeah, I had like two ofthem. What else was there? Oh,
I gotta I got to meet upwith Jeff and Dave and Ivan Corey.
Oh no, Corey wasn't there.Yeah, no, Corey was there.

(54:13):
Tom. I got to see allthe new ground guys. And road
trip like what constantly fluctuated between beinglike super chill and super fucking heck dick,
We're like, well, Vernica willdrive like a full like day and
a half to get to like thefirst place, I would do like a
fifty I would do like a fifteenhour drive, right, and then we
would get to Sunnysauson and we'd belike, oh, we have five days
just chill. I like, sofive days of nothing. It was like,

(54:34):
oh, I drove all night,but you know what, at least
I get a little relaxed in fivedays. And then it's like, oh,
well no, because after the fivedays you have to drive ten hours
or fifteen hours too. So andso Virginia, then North Carolina, then
Georgia. We like went dying,and then we went up again. And
then we went on to Georgia andthen we went dying to Florida And it
was like four different places. Wehad to go to Florida over like the
course of like four days, thenMississippi and then ben Then we went to

(54:59):
Dallas. Then we went to twocan Carry, yeah, to Henry.
Not to meet anyone though, no, just to get home. Those were
the stops we made, yeah,and then from there all the way back
to La Yeah. So it wasit was a lot of fun. But
like it was, it got reallysick. Have you ever noticed by like
by the time we get to likethe Nathaniel podcast and everyone after that,
like Sergio and and Bleman, Iwas like dying. I was really fucking

(55:22):
sick. Um. I was likesneezing a bunch and coughing a bunch um
cold. I think it was Ithink it was exhaustion though, yeah,
I think because I'm like working,ye worrying my work wild were like stuff
marks stressing out about how he's gonnanot only like the project that we're working
on, but also the podcast andgetting getting traveling is exhausting, but then

(55:45):
also on top of it, doingyour videos. Are you working on at
the time you're working on worked onBendy Quagmire, and then I think after
that it was Fanboy, which Iwas working on the web back and then
yeah, I also worked on asplash Dash video around that time, I
think. And this is also whenI was starting YouTube shorts because everyone ever

(56:08):
I got like, I got likefomo, you know, um, so
I started making those. So it'slike, now that I'm home, I
was like, Oh, I can'twait to go back home for things to
be relaxed. But also nope,it's like, wake up, I have
to do these five things for thesefive different projects. Yeah, and then
I'm like, oh, at leastwhen I get them done by this time,
I can just relax for a bitand go to bed, but no
doing it. And then I gettired and I go to bed and I
wake up and do it all again. So that's that's been our lives.

(56:30):
So that for the past like threemonths before the podcast, I feel bad
that it's kind of been like neglecteda bit um. But now we're back
back to it. We definitely dowant to like we said earlier, we
definitely do want to do a lotmore fun things with this and have more
kind of like live action interactive typethings. Yeah, we were going to
record a whole live action thing withoutNathaniel, but then we just forgot because
we didn't have time. We werewe didn't even ask him because there was

(56:51):
Yeah, there was no time.Yeah, because like I the way I
like structured this all, I waslike, oh, okay, so I'll
drive fifteen hours and I'll get tothis state at this time. It's gonna
be this many miles, which meansI'll only have to stop to fill up
my tank like three times. That'sokay. Not anticipating how much time of

(57:12):
sleep we need. Yeah, wefor a lot of the days we were
playing and not sleeping at all.Yeah, but we ended up sleeping some
some of them, we ended upsleeping in a decent amount. So for
a lot of people, that wouldbe a thing where it's like we can
eat up for like two hours we'dgo to Nathaniel. In my head it
would be like, okay, wegonna spend three hours in the morning with
him. That's enough time to recordthe podcast. But I was not taking
kind of like up being nice talkingabout his friend Cherry recorded with us.

(57:37):
So it's like a thing where wehad to like get to North Carolina for
like a certain time, but wedidn't actually get there until like five hours
later because we have five x tryhours with Nathaniel where it's like it's fun,
but in the back of my head, I'm like, fun, it
delays everything else, everything else.But fortunately for us, one of the
people that we were going to bespending three days with they cancel. Um

(58:00):
there were some things where it's like, oh, we just can't do that.
So we couldn't we couldn't follow throughon certain plans. Well, we're
gonna meet up with a trek tumorfor trek, but he was he was.
I think it was like right whenhe was coming back, we had
to leave. So there was nolike there wasn't enough time for us to
like both parties to like relax fromwhat they've been doing. Yeah, get

(58:21):
in contact, do something, andthen like move on, you know.
So Yeah, very stressful month.We were on the road for a month.
That's weird to think that that wasour life for we're getting back here
was like weird. I was likeI forgot I'll live here. Yeah,
I felt like a stranger in myown home. Yeah, it was weird.
Oddly enough, and like, whichis like, now that you said
that, I remember because my grandmotherwas calling us, being like, oh
yeah, when I got home fromvisiting you in California, I felt like

(58:45):
really weird being in my own houtsagain. But that's I was like,
it's weird though, But now Iget that feeling because that's how I felt
coming back here. Yeah. Yeah, we got more fun stuff, Kevin.
We got some more guests at linedup for sure. Um, we
will hopefully see of soon. ButI also want to do some more podcasts.
I just kind of like us chill, yeah's going on? We should

(59:08):
do a hookah podcast sometimes? Yeah, sure, um hooka our who can
do that? Like the like theBreaking Bad one? Yeah, like the
Bring Bad one. But that wasa fun one either way. Thanks for
watching, guys. Be sure tolike, comment and subscribe, but also
give us a review on Apple Podcastsand Spotify positively if it's positive. Okay,

(59:31):
Donald Trump is, can we tellthem about real quick, really quick,
really quick? Okay? So whenI was in Island, right,
it was me and Mark and hislittle cousin and uh we were we went
to like what like the mall orwhatever, and Mark's mom went to go
pick us up afterwards and we're inthe car and I guess it was like
a voting day in Ireland, soyou know, Mark's mom was like,

(59:52):
oh, Mark, don't forget youhave to vote today, and I think
kai, you know, I waslike, oh, are you gonna vote
for no? Veronica was like youdon't for Donald Trump? Was like,
oh, you're gonna vote for DonaldTrump? And my old cousin was like,
Donald Trump is an asshole. Hesaid it like he said it like
quietly, like almost like it's underhis breath but not. Yeah, donald

(01:00:15):
Trump is an asshole. And Iwas like why and he was like just
I was like, wait a minute, Kay, what if I voted for
Donald Trump? Do you think I'man asshole? And he was like like
he was like he could not,like he couldn't fathom that somebody in his
life could have ever voted for youknow what I mean? Because in Ireland

(01:00:37):
it's like it's a mean we onlywe only see things from what the news
presents to us. So it's alllike Donald Trump is a joke, American
politics are a joke. American politicsis a joke. But we know about
like we have like the whatever thepopular opinion is that's what we hear.
Yeah, so in my head,it's like Mario watsy kime my one year

(01:00:57):
and I was playing it with myold cousin and then it was like twenty
seventeen, and he's like, hewould have been like fucking seven eight years
old at this point. Even no, he would have been like, yeah,
like six years old. And we'rerunning around the New Bond City area
and he sees a guy and he'slike, that looks like Donald Trump,
And I was like, what thefuck? How do you know about Donald
Trump? I didn't even know whobut Obama was when I was here yet
Obama. I just thought it wasreally funny that he has a like this

(01:01:22):
inner quandary of this like, oh, the idea that someone he like knows,
somebody who he knows could have donea bad thing or not even like
a bat like that thing that isconsidered something that is considered bad, you
know. N Yeah, I thoughtit was really funny too, but yeah,
like breaking his brain. So thanksfor watching, guys, remember to

(01:01:44):
subscribe. I was get out ofhere. Yeah,
