Speaker 1 (00:12):
Hey, welcome to water Cooler. Thank you, thank you, thank
you for tuning in. We appreciate it, and we are
in a thankful mood. Hot off our national holiday of Thanksgiving.
We'll talk all about it, but first, let me introduce
everybody on this show, because there's some new people who

(00:32):
don't know how it goes. When I Chris Locks want
to kick it with my Corolla digital buds of yesteryear,
So let me let me intro. All the way. In NoHo, Cia,
we have Mike Dawson.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
He's having Mike issues. We could hear you out for those.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
When he did, I thought he was doing a bit.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
I had my my commuter on. Yeah, it was a
bit planned it all hattie, dudey, how do you do?

Speaker 5 (01:09):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:09):
That's that is what he said. I was able to
lip read his intro earlier, so he just repeated it verbatim.
And then all the way in Orange County, California, we
have Gary Smith supposedly, but.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
What is happening?

Speaker 1 (01:24):
Are you guys talking to this? Frank? Did you discuss
this beforehand?

Speaker 6 (01:28):
You guys should have seen what we went through before
we even started this show too.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Now Matt's gone. This is just we are off the rails.
All right, let me try this, so let me see
what's gonna happen. And then all the way in Austin, Texas,
we have Matt Fondelier. Hey brother, music to mys. I've
never thought I'd be so happy to hear Matt's.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
Voice, happy to related to somebody. Yeah we related?

Speaker 7 (01:57):
Yeah brother?

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Oh, I thought you were just talking about your mom
like it like a non second kind of thing. And
then all the way in Long Beach, California, like myself,
it's Kaitlin Bean.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
What's going on?

Speaker 1 (02:11):
I'll tell you what's going Gary's giving me the matumba
finger like a show like we just started. What is
happening right now?

Speaker 8 (02:20):
We did.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
He's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no jump
shot for you.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Ah a Jurassic Park screensaver.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Uh, Mike Garrius is no mic all right, I want
a buck slip.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah that was an Adam Carolla branded buck slip.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Those I saw some buckslips. He'll be honest, rebooting garious.
Just do the whole show like that. I kind of
like this, Gary. Yeah, it's very it's very Andrew Lincoln
in love. Actually, just just keep pulling the signs and
I'll read them out loud as the as the show
goes the listeners.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
I thought, I you know, I thought I didn't get
Matumbo finger. But I kind of pieced that one together.
There must be a meme of Diembe Mdumble throwing a
finger something showing something when you start talking about uh
Ryan Sterling and in in love. Honestly, I'm lost, bro.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
That was it was?

Speaker 1 (03:27):
That was a That was a good effort. I appreciate it. No,
it's Andrew Lincoln from The Walking Dead.

Speaker 7 (03:35):
He was in he was in Dead, actually.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
He was in love, actually love. It's an iconic scene.
It's like a meme. Now, it's probably the most memorable
you've seen and and pop culture like everyone.

Speaker 7 (03:49):
Well, I've never seen the.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
But I think, yeah, Coral and all the gin joints.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
You don't, Okay, Dawson, I am excited to have enlightened
you to a few new references that Now it's what's
that thing called matt when once you hear about it,
it's just everywhere. Yeah, some sort of effect.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
One of the effects is it's my turn for movie night,
isn't it?

Speaker 7 (04:20):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (04:21):
I meant to look it out. That should be let
me let me check.

Speaker 7 (04:25):
Matt, Well, we're gonna see, we're gonna watch Love. Honestly,
if it is.

Speaker 9 (04:30):
Is it even on Netflix? That's that's the rule. It
has to be on Netflix.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
The Mandela effect, according to the Buck Slip.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
King Gary Rope Mandela, it's not the Mandela effect. The
Mandela effect is when a group of people collectively think
something happened that didn't happen. That's right, right, like oh
up in here, no, this is this is.

Speaker 10 (04:53):
Likeically rebooting and wasn't having a hard time following along
with the conversation.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
There there is I mean, people are probably yelling it
to their speakers right now, But there is an effect
where if once you hear about something like if I mentioned, oh,
red Volkswagen bug, then all of a sudden, you're gonna
see like ten of them the next day, Like you
just notice them more because it actually happens all around you,
and and you don't you just weren't thinking about it. Well,

(05:19):
Dawson didn't know about Matumbo's finger wag, and he didn't
know about Andrew Lincoln with all the signs in love.

Speaker 5 (05:25):
Actually, I think it's called the beater Minehoff.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
That's what it is all, well, no.

Speaker 7 (05:32):
I know, yeah, that's we're just gonna have to take
your word for it.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Well you think that, but now watch tomorrow. You're gonna
hear like the beater Manhoff effect like ten times.

Speaker 8 (05:40):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, it's gonna do It's gonna do it to its
own effect.

Speaker 7 (05:43):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (05:44):
I just checked my spreadsheet and December's movie club pick.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Is Chris Loxamana.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Oh I needed this.

Speaker 7 (05:57):
Now we really have to watch love honestly, Chris.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
Now you're actually I mean, I feel your.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
Oh god, Chris, you had this before, dude, you you
and you you really hurt us with one of your
what was it, Matt was Halloween?

Speaker 9 (06:12):
Yeah, I'm sorry with one of my personal heroes, Eminem,
which was not even part of the reason why he
chose it as a Halloween movie because of Eminem's that
would have been clever. But yeah, we watch eight Mile
and I have never been sadder in my life, arounded
by my paper ghosts and pumpkins and the witch lights,

(06:32):
and I'm sitting there watching eminem rapping movie, going, God
damn it, like I want to be watching a horror
movie so badly.

Speaker 10 (06:39):
Right now, God damn it, Chris. This awesome movie that
I'm watching that his sister loves.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Yeah, really, wasn't there the ghost of Anthony Mackey at
the end of that? Because yeah, so you know.

Speaker 6 (06:51):
It's kind of starting to all make sense now why
Matt picked Gerald's game for his Halloween movie. I feel
like he's getting back you a little.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Well, we're not even used so far.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
I think I proved my point.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
I'm kidding all right, Well, I needed to hear that
good news because I'll be honest, guys, I'm not in
a good mood.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
Oh boy, what.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
A lot going on right now.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Having microphone issues, well.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah, the start of this show definitely didn't help. I'll
tell you that much had to. Ha had a weird Thanksgiving,
and then I'll tell you all about it. And then also,
it just made me mad because you guys reminded me
of something today as we record this Tuesday, December two, Dawson,

(07:39):
do you know this day?

Speaker 4 (07:42):
I'm aware of what this day means to a lot
of people and uh, fucking Charlie.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Bro Yes, today is Charlie.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
Look, I got news for you. I didn't want to break.
Go ahead, go ahead, tell everybody what it is.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Today is the day Dawson was supposed to eat his
nine month old egg right he nine months ago. Nine
months ago, Dawson proclaimed that eggs he can eat an
egg out of first, that they don't go about He
actually not only did he say he would do it,
he made us feel dumb for not doing it.

Speaker 10 (08:19):
He did. He was real condescending about it.

Speaker 7 (08:23):
Of course, because I'm right. I'm always right.

Speaker 10 (08:26):
And then I one of the things that happened along
the way was, you know, obviously famously Dawson you know,
got rid of Charlie and uh right, that was his name.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
Well, first of all, I got to clear something up.
I wasn't entirely honest with you guys, clearly.

Speaker 7 (08:42):
I it was.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
It was a tough time and I was dealing with
some stuff. And I'll come clean now, Charlie committed suicide.

Speaker 11 (08:56):
Carrie, why'd you open this up for to let him
do this? Very sorry now, I actually felt bad for
a minute here. I knew what he was doing. My
blood pressure is through the roof right now. It's very
sad he's still going.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
My anniversary of the day is making It's just it's
really bringing so much back the.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Day that I was supposed to bring me so much joy?
Is bring me so much anger?

Speaker 12 (09:18):
Well?

Speaker 5 (09:18):
Can I tell you guys about to day that brought
me a lot of joy?

Speaker 10 (09:20):
That was a day about three months ago when Matt
text me privately and said, Gary, why does it say
Rip Dawson?

Speaker 5 (09:28):
On on December third, I.

Speaker 9 (09:33):
Was looking ahead for like holiday travel plans, and I
just saw Rip Dawson. I'm like, who created this calendar?
Created by Gary? And I was like, what is happening?

Speaker 4 (09:44):
I saw that as well, and I was very confused
for about twenty minutes, and then I was like, oh,
it's it's Charlie.

Speaker 10 (09:54):
Yeah, because in the moment as we were recording it,
Dawson made his proclamation and just quickly, while we were
so on the show, I did the math and then
that happening quick the thing as I could, so that
we had a record of like what it was all day.

Speaker 7 (10:06):
It's an all day event. I'm dying all day long.

Speaker 10 (10:09):
I dragged that thing all the way like it was
a giant event. So because I did not want to
miss it, I didn't want to forget the significance.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
And fucking Charlie, I mean he uh, I guess he
was going through some stuff.

Speaker 7 (10:24):
His Let's just say his shell wasn't very thick.

Speaker 12 (10:29):
As these boys aren't the only one I front.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
Well, Satan, First of all, I'm not going there, bro.
It's nicey to visit and everything, but be in the
Pearly area.

Speaker 12 (10:49):
No, I thought that I was going to be visited about.
You have a parlor going.

Speaker 7 (10:55):
I didn't miss that.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
What's your parlay on? Satan music?

Speaker 1 (11:00):
The other legs?

Speaker 12 (11:02):
It was, let's see, so not months ago. It was
the World Series.

Speaker 8 (11:08):
Winners, the NHL Round one playoffs and Dawson eating that
damn bag. Now. I was really upset at first, just
like everybody, but I love how you lied about it
and just ate the Yeah, it made these guys look
like fools.

Speaker 10 (11:26):
So, Satan, can I ask was it bittersweet for you
when the leg of your parlay was one but you
had already lost the Dawson leg?

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Like?

Speaker 5 (11:34):
Did that make it hard to enjoy the World Series?

Speaker 8 (11:38):
Of course it did because every all my other all
my other bets, I would have won. I would have won. Yeah,
I'm but he made it funny. He made it funny
bout tricking you guys. I love dishonesty. I love this honesty.
You know that real.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
Love dishonesty or his honesty dishonesty. Okay, okay, that's weird,
that's very strange.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
Who let satan in here?

Speaker 2 (12:21):
This very was password to protected checking in?

Speaker 7 (12:24):
Thanks for checking in, asked man.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Well, I guess one person's on your side, dos or
one being Anyway, it is a bittersweet day because I
was looking for how would you beat in this egg?
Dawson boiled, like, let's just live a little hypothetically boiled it?
Would you have, uh what poached it?

Speaker 10 (12:42):
I mean what you said at the time, it was
going to be part of an egg sandwich, right most.

Speaker 9 (12:46):
Like, yeah, which I kind of objected to a little
bit because then it would be hard to tell which
ingredient made you so sick.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
I mean, we.

Speaker 9 (12:56):
Probably would have assumed it was the egg, but you're
putting a lot of other factors into the equation.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
We'll remind you, remind me never to fucking cook for
you over here.

Speaker 9 (13:10):
Listen, Dawson, know you're you're feeling down about this, but
I just want you to look at the sunny side up.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
Oh that was bad, you know that's good. And look,
I'm just I'm just upset about Charlie. I missed Charlie.
He left the note, but uh he put it on
a piece of cheese, and so that was in the sandwich.

Speaker 7 (13:33):
I didn't realize it.

Speaker 10 (13:34):
Until later I got to that was a better yoke
than you're a credit for.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
All Right, Well, anyway, I'm just gonna live that sliding
doors fantasy and just hang out with Gwyneth Paltrow wondering
what it would have been like had Dawson eat in
that egg.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
Was that movie about if you go through the right
sliding door, you get to meet Gwyneth Paltrow, you know, transported?

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Yeah, you transported to a whole different.

Speaker 7 (14:04):
Into Gwynneth Paltrow's bedroom.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah. See, so we're talking about eight mile earlier. Did
you see that halftime show on Thanksgiving?

Speaker 2 (14:14):
I did?

Speaker 1 (14:14):
That was nice.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, I was.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Jack White freaking bringing out Eminem. I actually deroyed on.

Speaker 9 (14:21):
I put it on because Jack White was playing, and
then fucking Eminem came out. And then later I saw
all the headlines about it. I did not realize he
was even on the show. I was very excited.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
Ye, that happened for you, Matt, Yeah, what's up?

Speaker 4 (14:37):
I don't think anyone else on this podcast would say
I put it on because because we were all most
likely watching football.

Speaker 7 (14:47):
Yep, did you turn it on for the halftime show?

Speaker 9 (14:51):
No, we were watching music videos very drunkenly late Thursday night,
and that was like one of the biggest videos on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
I said, Jack White halftime sho oh.

Speaker 5 (15:00):
Shit, you didn't even see it in the football game.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
That's awesome.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
It was a football game.

Speaker 5 (15:05):
Did you say that you had not heard anything about this?

Speaker 7 (15:07):
I have no.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
I had no idea that this had happened.

Speaker 5 (15:10):
I mean the exact same boat.

Speaker 10 (15:11):
And I'm like concerned because oh, I just all over
the news, like I can't believe I missed this. Granted
I was not watching football on on Thursday. I watched
a little bit of one of the games, but it
wasn't the Lions game. But I had no idea this happened.

Speaker 5 (15:24):
I'm amazed.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
This is not cross my feet. Well, I think I know.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
I'm sorry for you, guys, Chris, did you watch? I
can't they want to watch the Lions game?

Speaker 8 (15:33):
Now.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
I know why, Gary, because was it last year, two
years ago where that guy walked out of that igloo
that looked like it came out of my kids preschool.

Speaker 5 (15:42):
Yes, it was pathetic.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
It was that. So it was that same show because
and but this time.

Speaker 5 (15:48):
It was checking like an actual show and a.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Killer rock show bringing out eminem B halfway. Yeah, it's
to a Detroit crowd.

Speaker 7 (15:56):
They played too that.

Speaker 4 (15:59):
If there were any backing tracks in there, they weren't dominant.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
They It actually gives me hope that rock bands can
play stadiums for reels now because it's like they figured
it out. It sounded well. It sounded awesome on TV.
I don't know how it sounded live, but it sound.

Speaker 7 (16:12):
I think that if if it is.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
Being suppressed in the news, like Caitlin, you said, you
haven't heard much about it, you haven't seen anything about it, really,
I if it. If that is happening, it's because for
years rock and roll fans have been fucking screaming throw
some fucking rock and roll in the fucking halftime show.
And it was a solid It was It was really,

(16:41):
really well done.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Do you think it's getting shadow band.

Speaker 4 (16:44):
I think it's getting shadow band because of bad Bunny,
because they don't want bad pressy.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Oh, the conspiracy does in here. I like it so.

Speaker 7 (16:56):
Because it can be done.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
It can it can be done. It can be done.
And so yeah, just like you can throw music.

Speaker 7 (17:04):
People actually know.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
When you when you brought up that wonderful movie eight Mile,
just reminded me. I just saw him and perform, Matt,
Is it okay? I guess you didn't watch him perform
in October? Did he ruin your Thanksgiving?

Speaker 6 (17:14):
Too?

Speaker 8 (17:15):
Though?

Speaker 1 (17:15):
I mean watching watching him perform live?

Speaker 2 (17:18):
It was not. It was surprising, not jarring, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Well, I do want to hear all about your guys thanksgivings.
I'm gonna start off with mine, because it was a
sheared Thanksgiving.

Speaker 5 (17:29):
With I would like to ask a question about that.

Speaker 10 (17:33):
Did you guys in fact, get in a little bit
of time for Chris to try.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
I'll talk about that. I'll talk about that.

Speaker 9 (17:40):
Oh wow, Gary, Gary said some like sexy Thanksgiving. It's
what he said.

Speaker 5 (17:45):
I believe what I said. That is I was talking
about the ups and downs of Thanksgiving exactly. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
But you did that thing with the with the finger
and the circle. Yeah, it was very weird. You guys
can interpret it. Why the eyebrows man, you know you
just for those listening. Gary's being he keeps winking. He's
very sexual, very sexy. So I went over so calin

(18:10):
Klen's home host Thanksgiving, and I went.

Speaker 7 (18:14):
That's not what I met.

Speaker 4 (18:14):
I'm sorry, I meant. I mean he's totally being sexy.
I mean I'm turning on. I'm chubbing up over here.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
We'll make some sexiest he's not trying. So I went
over there on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and brought some
pizzas over as they were prepping for the night. They
asked me to just get two large pizzas, just a
pepperoni and a cheese, and I said, that's not enough
because I know who's there, Calan, So I'm getting us
a little special pie. It's just a small, a little
sam because he's been asking me. He's like, dude, I

(18:42):
have been wanting to try anchovie pizza for so long.
He's been, he's been, he's been mentioning.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
Yeah, I've said it on this podcast, on.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
This podcast, And here I am at a pizza place
ordering pizzas.

Speaker 4 (18:54):
Is it that foxy pizza or the one the one
that you love the wolf for whatever?

Speaker 3 (18:59):
Can little Kyote, the little coyote that one.

Speaker 6 (19:02):
We had a whole discussion about how tragic that story
is I don't that's gonna make me start tearing up.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
So let's just move on. Let's just move on.

Speaker 9 (19:11):
This pizza made in the back of a truck or
some somebody's trunk.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
I feel like many this is a legit brick and
mortar places.

Speaker 10 (19:20):
Okay, okay, there's no like text message and like quasi
illegal handoff in the alley.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
All above board, all above board.

Speaker 6 (19:28):
That chicken sandwich was still probably the best I've ever
had in my life, I know. And as soon as
they did have an actual store, I went and got
one immediately, not very.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Good kitchens effect flavor flavor four hours, went back here.
I'm glad that still holds a good memory in your heart, Kaitlin.
So I go over there and with a small pizza
in addition to the two XLS small pizza. It's for
me and Kailyn. Just I just want a little taste,

(19:59):
to be honest. I don't think he's don't like it,
so well, what's what's on it? So half anchoke, half anchovy?
And then if you're gonna give him something bad, give
them something good too. I got the Hawaiian Canadian bacon
with pineapple.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
So it's I hope you kept all that that Robert
anchovy essence.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
It's in the same box, but they are not on
the side.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Whole pizzas destroyed.

Speaker 10 (20:23):
When Matt on this one, I don't even need the
hint of my ancho.

Speaker 5 (20:28):
Yeah, my Hawaiian.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Pineapple is absorbing all of that essence.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Hello fish in that.

Speaker 4 (20:35):
I've been saying this forever, and now because a fish
is introduced.

Speaker 7 (20:39):
You're just fish phobic.

Speaker 8 (20:40):
Dude.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
Now, because there's a fish involved, You're like, oh, I
can't have pineapple on it.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Yeah, well you know when you're talking, I'm.

Speaker 10 (20:49):
Saying you can have pineapple, but you can't have anchovy
there too.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yes, agreed, Gary.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Well we did pescophobia.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
Absolutely can.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
And so Caitlin, you tried an anchovy pizza.

Speaker 5 (21:02):
I didn't.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
When you first brought it over.

Speaker 6 (21:05):
You opened the box and said, look what I got
for you, and I didn't even know that the other
half was anchovy. I thought you just got some Hawaiian
because I was why you're so happy, Well, because we've
been talking about how my hatred for Hawaiian pizza has
diminished over the years, and I've actually come to start
enjoying it. I would never order it as you know,

(21:25):
if I'm getting a pizza, but I'm getting to the
point where I'm actually sort of enjoying it. So I
didn't even realize that there was anchovies on until later
and you told me, and then I got more excited.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah, so I'm glad. Well, I'm glad you got to
try it. Anyway, First off, I didn't order Hawaiian pizza.
I don't say I'll take a Hawaiian. I say I'll
take a Canadian bacon of pineapple, because.

Speaker 10 (21:46):
You don't want that's the line you draw, by the
way you look so Hawaiian.

Speaker 5 (21:56):
So like that's such a weird fucking line to draw.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
There's like there's a coffee shop by me that has
a latte that's fantastic, but it's called like the Hot
and Yum. I won't say that either. I'll take the
number one. They're just some things. It's like it actually
will ruin it for me, so I don't want to
do it.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Dude, have the fun to say in the name the empress.

Speaker 7 (22:20):
Problem with the name.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
Then you do pineapple on pizza, and I think that's
the core issue here.

Speaker 6 (22:28):
No place, this place didn't even do it right either,
Like normally they have the pineapple baked into the cheese.
At this pizza place, they just threw chunks of pineapple
on top of the pizza.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
I actually yeah. I called them about that, Kala and
I was like, why did you why did you assemble
this pizza so poorly? And they said, well, you should
have ordered the Hawaiian pizza, right right, that's true. I
don't know. It was actually my bad so calin what'd
you think of the anchovies?

Speaker 3 (22:57):
Not bad, but not great either. It was just too salty.

Speaker 6 (23:02):
I like the fish, you know, I like fish, so
I did enjoy the fish flavor, but it was just
too salty. Maybe salt that and I normally like salt,
but it was too much for me.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Do you want like a more milder fish, like like
a tilapia on there?

Speaker 3 (23:15):
M I actually told Chris.

Speaker 6 (23:17):
I was like, uh, in England where I've gone to,
they put tuna fish on their pizza.

Speaker 7 (23:22):
That's so gross.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
This is why we formed our own country, you understand.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Wait wait wait let them finish. Is it like is
it cantina or is it like tashimi?

Speaker 2 (23:34):
We're talking about what do you think?

Speaker 4 (23:38):
They're not their fucking culinary skills.

Speaker 7 (23:43):
It's except for fish and chips.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
Yeah, a little extra protein. I get it.

Speaker 7 (23:49):
Well, okaylin no on the anchovies.

Speaker 5 (23:53):
Didn't like them.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
I'm gonna have to go with a no on the
ancho too salty?

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Would you say? Anchovies?

Speaker 1 (23:59):
So anyway, thank you?

Speaker 4 (24:01):
Well if you if you approach, Nana used to make
anchovy pizza, and the anchovy should not be they should
be just it's very, very sparse. So you get just
that fucking salty sea flavor. You get the anchovy flavor
because like pineapple, it kind of permeates the entire thing.

(24:22):
You know how, you're not less anchovies.

Speaker 7 (24:24):
You might have liked it.

Speaker 6 (24:25):
You know how you talk about when there is pineapple
on the pizza, and even if it croaches and you
take the pineapple off, it has already infected the rest
of the pizza.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
I think if you would.

Speaker 6 (24:34):
Put the anchovies on and then taking them off, then
it might have been to that.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Level of saltiness that I would have liked. So it
would have infected.

Speaker 4 (24:43):
So you had too many anchovies, I think you would
like ancho too many.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
It wasn't that many. It was pretty smart.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
Wait, so we are we collectively? I know Gary's not,
but how about the other four. Are we collectively pro
anchovy on pizza?

Speaker 7 (24:55):
I am, I've.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
And I've been on the record for years.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
I was a kid, but picked them up like five, six,
seven years ago. I am, mom made an anchovy pizza
and I'm like, I'll try that.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
I'm so glad that's good. Like the Ninja Turtles, I mean,
Dawson knows this. They hated, famously hated anchovies on their
pizza and it kind of was terrible prs like what
Sideways did them were low is terrible pr for anchovies
on pizza. The whole anchovy pizza industry just plummeted. But
now that they're able to do yeah, so I'm glad

(25:32):
it's finally making a comeback, at least on this podcast. Yeah,
give me other weird pizza topics to try. I'm curious
now I'm not that that's weird. Well anyway, sorry, I
was talking about why I'm mad.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Uh so I want to hear more about this Turkey day.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
So the next day go back over to go over
there and having a good time, ate some wonderful food,
and I walk into the living room and Kitlin is
basically just holding court with like six guys just going
off about how aliens are real, and one of them

(26:07):
being my father in law. I'm just like, what is
this conversation is deep, like they're diving in.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
And everybody involves.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
And now when my father in law is just asking
questions and severely confused by some of the stuff Kaylen saying,
Kaylen just looks at me and just starts smiling and
nodding like I was like, what is happening right now?
So I'm having to listen through that. And then Caylen

(26:40):
tells a story about his job with fish and cleaning
ponds and aquariums and stuff, and he tells a story
that happened a while back that was awesome and he's
never told it on the show. Now I'm just sitting
there going, what the hell, man, why are you telling
all these people That's an awesome story, not awesome for me.

(27:03):
So so I'm just here. Yeah. So Kaylen is just
commanding this room, just talking to everybody, making them laugh,
telling him, you.

Speaker 6 (27:09):
Guys know how I get when I have a couple
of drinks.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
In me and we were all on that cruise.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Yeah, yeah, we've all seen it. We've all seen make
your speeches no speech this time. Unfortunate, Caleen.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
Do you feel like he got through? Did you change
any minds?

Speaker 6 (27:25):
Not complete one eighty. I mean, Chris definitely wasn't buying it.
I checked in with him after still hadn't convinced him,
but I got I got a couple of people leaning.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Let me, people think about Chris father in law.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
He's interesting.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
But first off, Kaylan, when you said I wasn't buying it,
you asked me a specific question. What was it that
you asked me?

Speaker 3 (27:49):
Do you believe aliens are real here on Earth?

Speaker 1 (27:52):
That's all what you are? That's what you asked.

Speaker 6 (27:53):
And I had a couple of drinks exactly, but I
believe it along those lines.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Because I said, I think I think aliens do exist.
I think that the universe is just so big for them.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Was just before or after dinner, by the way, or
during And.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Then Kaylen leans over because he whispers, but do you
think they're here already and that they're watching us and
they're observing us? They are just they are here and
they are observing us for one of two reasons. Kylen says.
It's either one to protect us or to what was

(28:28):
the other one?

Speaker 6 (28:28):
To uh you destroy us.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Not it was to yeah, to destroy us and use
our resources.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
And I don't think I would have said that one.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
Okay had a lot of claus Man.

Speaker 6 (28:44):
Because my whole theory is that they're not here to
destroy us. They could do it very easily if they
wanted to. Okay, well, here they're just watching us, observing
us from killing ourselves.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
The floor is yours.

Speaker 5 (28:55):
Give it.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
I know, you just watch the documentary.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
You're hot.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah. Amy was like, did Klen talk to about that
documentary yet? Like the first thing she asked me when
I walked in. I was like, I don't know what
you're talking about. Like out, Okay, don't worry. He'll get
to it and.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
Plug the doc It's called the Age of Disclosure.

Speaker 7 (29:16):
It just came out right.

Speaker 6 (29:17):
On Amazon, but you have to rent it for right.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Oh yeah, wait, you got me, Kaylen? Who won't buy sucks?
Who won't who won't pay for a month of Hulu
girls on Amazon? It spents twenty dollars for a single movie.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
Oh guys, you should have seen u.

Speaker 6 (29:36):
HBO Black Friday deal to ninety nine for a year,
So guess who's fucking HBO?

Speaker 5 (29:42):
HBO Max was for a year with that per month,
per month.

Speaker 6 (29:47):
Per month with sorry per month, yeah, per month with
ads for you still.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
Kalin's you see I got.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
I'm so happy.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
Well, congratulations Kaylen, welcome back, thank you, thank you. All right, Well, anyway,
so I was just convincing my father in law that
aliens are here, that they're always there.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
And Tellerwater convinced aliens are fucking here.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
So they're underwater and they are watching us, and they
are definite studying us, and they had there's some purpose
to what they're doing with us. So anyway, just saying
that's what I have. But anyway, we all know Kaylan
works has has a side hustle with the ponds and
the cleaning fish tanks and stuff. And Kylen told a story,

(30:29):
a wonderful, wonderful tale about cleaning an aquarium. And I
would just like to tell you, guys, because this is
the story that he kept from us.

Speaker 6 (30:40):
So I thought I remember telling you, but I guess
probably not because when it happened.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Anyway, this is a while ago.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
This is gonna be another Scales.

Speaker 6 (30:51):
No all no, no fish were harmed in in at
this time. So this was back when I was doing
it with Patrick like kind of early days, and he
does ponds, but he also does aquariums back then. And
he had this one client that I've been to many times.
He needed this small little fish tank, and I've done

(31:12):
it many times. And Patrick's gear isn't very good. It's
not very up to date. So he has like a
pond vacuum. So when you clean an aquarium, you essentially
like suction the sand. You like dig it into the
sand and you suction like all the fish poop and
stuff out of the bottom of the aquarium.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
But his vacuum was.

Speaker 6 (31:32):
So basic that you would actually have to first put
it in the aquarium and then you'd have to like
siphon the water to get it started to dump it out.
Like they have ones where you can just use a pump,
but not Patrick's. Patrick's like, nope, you gotta siphon it
and then dump it into the bucket.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
It's like the manual lawnmower, the one thats right.

Speaker 9 (31:53):
The greatest the greatest day in Patrick's life is when
he was able to pass the siphon the fish to.

Speaker 5 (31:58):
The job else.

Speaker 6 (32:04):
And so I had done this many times, probably at
least like five or six times, and one time I
went over there. I siphon, I did the thing didn't
really it didn't really catch well. I took I took
it out, and then I went to go siphon it again,
full inhale, get it going.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
It was filled with aquarium water.

Speaker 6 (32:25):
That entire vacuum full of water just went straight into
my stomach. And I stood up for a second and just.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
Thought, Yep, that just happened.

Speaker 6 (32:36):
I just swallowed aquarium water directly, and there's nothing I
could do about it.

Speaker 5 (32:42):
Kaylin, I can't confirm that on this podcast.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
And he told it a little differently that drink Sydney
chris Well. The way Kaylen told it was this was
a sword and scale thing, Matt, because he said that
he swallowed a live goldfish.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Yes you did.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
What would I'd be so mad about this?

Speaker 7 (33:08):
No.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
I did not say, oh my god, all right, you're
gonna need I'm gonna need a second.

Speaker 5 (33:16):
Law in law.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
On the line.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
Converse.

Speaker 9 (33:20):
You have several questions about both aliens and fish.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
Cal said he swallowed live goldfish, and there you go.
Maybe you're in your cups. I don't know, I thought,
I I I know because I had zero alcohol. I
feel like that's not something you misremember I had. That's
why I was like sitting there. Everyone's cracking up, and
I'm just stewing. I'm stealing in my chair, like, oh dude,

(33:47):
are you freaking kidding me? I'm having to talk about
like getting a fish filter in, like in like an
old cat video I did in twenty twelve on this podcast,
and Kiln's like here just swallowing live fish and like
not telling us.

Speaker 6 (34:02):
I definitely don't remember saying I swallowed fish. I remember
the beginning of that story. We were talking about your fish,
and then I said, oh, yeah, and that time something
or other that I swallowed aquarium water, and that's when
everyone went.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Like, oh, what the fuck?

Speaker 3 (34:16):
You gotta tell that story.

Speaker 6 (34:18):
So I don't know when in that story I would
have added a goldfish in there. I don't think he
even had goldfish in that tank anyway.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
But anyway, I feel like I'm on the Corolla Show
and you're just sabotaging me.

Speaker 5 (34:31):
Oh yeah, good job, good jobs, story man.

Speaker 8 (34:36):
Damn it.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Ah, Well, anyway, won't cross off a bunch of stories
of notes here about that. Well, anyway, I actually had
a wonderful Thanksgiving, but got to spend it with Kailan. Yes,
he did have his separate stuffing that he didn't want
to share with me. Not didn't even offer.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
You were a all the way. You know, you never asked.

Speaker 5 (34:56):
You know every year, every year I say one thing.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yeah, but I want to be asked. I want to
be offered. I'm not going to.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Ask to play video games.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
I did so I played Ghosts of Yetti Yo, and
I kind of prefer well just the second.

Speaker 5 (35:18):
Take them too.

Speaker 6 (35:19):
This was this was right after the dinner, and I
had eaten so much food. I had and essentially an
entire box of stovetop stuffing to myself, which Chris, you
should have taken some of it off my hands. I
tried to get my kids to eat a little bit
of it. They didn't like it, so I just took
theirs back. So I had like an entire box to myself,

(35:42):
along with the mashed potatoes and the turkey and the
great I was so full that like I couldn't I
couldn't be around anybody anymore. I had to just go
into my room and lay down on my bed.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
Yeah, Kaylen Kaly. Kaylen was at the point where he
she was like, I just need to be horizontal I
can't stand any more. I need I need to lie down,
and so I go find him. He's in his room.
He's on his bed, just lying there by himself in
the dark.

Speaker 5 (36:10):
Chris, is the TV too big?

Speaker 1 (36:13):
That's not big enough? You know, you go bigger?

Speaker 3 (36:17):
Well, it was funny.

Speaker 6 (36:17):
At one point Chris was playing the game and then
Amy's brother walked in and he was looking at it.
He goes, I gotta fucking step back a little bit,
like it's a little too much.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
It's huge, It's it's pretty freaking big.

Speaker 5 (36:30):
What is it again, klen is sixty five?

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Sixty five, Yeah, sixty five.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
But what's the like a three foot.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Yeah, it's about I don't know, it's about thirty inches anyway.
So I I go to canle Go. I just say
two words to him. Open world. Let me in the
Let me in the open world of this game. Because
I'm a GTA guy. I love just walking around and
doing my own thing, punch and Robin doing whatever I

(36:59):
want it. Okay, So Cale says, all right, open worlds.
I go. I pick up I pick up the controls.
It's I'm maneuvering super super quick. I pick it up
really easily. Make a lot of care at the beginning.
I'm being awesome.

Speaker 6 (37:13):
I'm It was about five minutes in that I turned
to Chris and I went, you remind me of when
I give the controller to my daughters this game that
he does, because you know, you got to move with
one joystick and look with the other, and Chris would
do that thing where you just look straight up into
the air and then all the way down to the ground.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
The next thing, I was appreciating the graphics. Okay, nobody
ever the dirt. The dirt shout shout out to all
the artists of these games, the the the unsung heroes
who are doing the terrain and the sky. Nobody. Yeah,
the detail. Just the the cloud somebody had to design
those clouds. And nobody's talking about the clouds. I am.

(37:56):
I'm talking about the dirt, all right. Everyone's talking about
the costumes and the action and the face face looks.

Speaker 10 (38:02):
So Christ do you think that this is similar to
your thing with carousels, where just as you've gotten older,
you've lost like that coordination to be able to play
these games, Because you claim you've played a lot of GTA,
so this should have been something you could have just
picked up and pretty much gotten cooking.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
With I was cooking. I was cooking now, I just looked.

Speaker 5 (38:20):
Based on Kaitlyn's question, I was I'm not sure that
you were cooking.

Speaker 1 (38:23):
I know.

Speaker 6 (38:23):
Be fair. I do play it on a hard difficulty setting,
so anytime he ran into a bad guys like you're fucked,
You're fucked.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
You're not going to be able to do this.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
I was able to do it. Now, I was able
to well. As I said, I like to appreciate the
graphics and appreciate the craftsman ship that goes into the
detail of these of the bamboo trees and things like that.
Now I think I did the trees. Yeah, they I
was cutting bamboo. I was eating mushrooms. I's throwing spokes.

Speaker 7 (38:49):
There were actually bonzai trees.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
That was fin.

Speaker 10 (38:53):
You actually did a bamboo shoot. You did like the
cutting BAMNT.

Speaker 6 (38:56):
Oh yeah, I think first I just had you do
that you can like cut kind of bamboo in the wild,
and I had him.

Speaker 3 (39:02):
Do that for all.

Speaker 6 (39:03):
But yeah, Chris did stumble upon a bamboo shoot and
I was like, oh, hell yeah, I do that. It's
like a very very mini mini game within the game.

Speaker 5 (39:13):
But it's fine and it's it's hard, it's.

Speaker 6 (39:15):
It's fun and it can be hard. And Chris was
able to do it on the second try and afterwards
went that was great.

Speaker 3 (39:24):
It reminds me of Rapper the Wrapper.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
Okay, I got them all perfect except for one that
flew in the air afterwards, because I didn't know it
was going to do that.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
To do that and.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
Ye kick punch, it's all in the mind Perrap of
the Wrapper, boom. Yeah, so it's just very similar to that.
But I was I was open worlding. It killed a bear.

Speaker 2 (39:51):
Oh I don't have to do that.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
Why don't skin it? I don't know. Basically, yeah, basically
it was a mini mini game. Yeah, it was. It
was the Revenant, and I was able to I was
able to survive that bear attack. And then I realized,
you know, walking around riding my horse trying to punch people,

(40:15):
won't let me trying.

Speaker 6 (40:16):
You know, it's just trying to kill all the civilians
in the game. He's shooting flaming arrows at him left
and round. Why aren't they dying? Why aren't they dying?

Speaker 1 (40:24):
That's true, didn't I? Yeah, So I wasted off Klein's am.
I had no supplies after I was done, and.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
My fucking black blinding powder too.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
Yeah, all gone.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
Well, blinding powder hit it like three times in a row.
I was like, fucking chill out, dude, I have them
to go make more of that.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
And uh, I come to a conclusion.

Speaker 10 (40:45):
Throne stuff, being like, that's kind of a fucking hassle.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Game's kind of boring, not really terrible.

Speaker 10 (41:00):
Imagine how wrong you Nothing happened, nothing happened, good good.
I couldnt be happier with you. Are incredibly wrong and
you have ruined almost nothing, and I'm very happy about that.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
The game. The game is boring, all right, Well, how
are you guys at thanksgivings?

Speaker 5 (41:18):
Garrett did?

Speaker 1 (41:18):
And what what do you mean by that? Stop saying
it like that?

Speaker 2 (41:22):
I mean, I don't know and licking your lips after
you see, did.

Speaker 6 (41:28):
You?

Speaker 8 (41:30):
No?

Speaker 10 (41:30):
I went to a theme park in the morning, so
I was up and down on the log ride, so
to speak, a lot ride, various other rides. I went
to Knots Ferry Farm. I was there, you know, before
they opened, and we were like the second family that
was on the log ride.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Do they like is it in Christmas mode? Thanksgiving mode?

Speaker 10 (41:48):
Well?

Speaker 5 (41:49):
Not to marry Farm.

Speaker 10 (41:50):
As of Monday of Thanksgiving week, So you got all
the Christmas decor and all that totally decked out, all
the Christmas food, which is ridiculous.

Speaker 5 (42:00):
Is sure they're.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yeah, Garret, do you go to any theme parks while
they're open these days or you just kill off hours?
Just what's happening?

Speaker 10 (42:11):
This was open, man. I went with the general public.
There was nothing special about this. I bought a ticket,
and uh, we kind of heard online that in the
morning it's not super busy. We didn't have plans until
the afternoon anyways to go over to my in law's
house and have dessert and stuffing and stuff. So we thought,
you know, screw it, let's just try this out. And
it was not empty. But I mean we got on

(42:33):
the log ride second in the whole park.

Speaker 1 (42:36):
This is like, it was pretty chill. This is Thanksgiving Day. Yeah.
I don't know how to feel about NOTTS just not
giving their employees Thanksgiving off.

Speaker 10 (42:45):
Yeah, I'm not sure I feel about it either, But
I will say that I really enjoyed my time there,
so I'm.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
Kind of may well. Yeah, I hope they get like
time and a half fo or they're all Jehovah's witnesses
or something.

Speaker 9 (42:59):
You know, Cary Gary works so hard it actually makes
my heart happy that he gets to have fun on
a day where people are really pissed off about working,
like he deserves that.

Speaker 8 (43:11):
That is mad.

Speaker 5 (43:11):
That's yeah, very nice.

Speaker 10 (43:12):
That is I did feel bad like looking around at
like all the people working, But like in my mind,
what I was hoping is I used to work in
grocery stores.

Speaker 5 (43:20):
And if you like made it into the union.

Speaker 10 (43:22):
For grocery stores, like you had to work there for
you know, longer than I was going to as a teenager.
But if you did, then you got like time and
a half on certain holidays and double time on other holidays.
So like the checkers like they kind of vie for
those shifts because you make a lot of money doing that.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
Oh that's like.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
That wasn't even in a union.

Speaker 5 (43:40):
Yeah, oh nice. See.

Speaker 10 (43:41):
So that's what I was hoping for the Knots people
because honestly, like I, I sort of hope that Notts
is a cool place to work. I know it's owned
by a big corporation, but I'm hoping they got some
sort of a perk for working on that particular day.
But we really enjoyed ourselves for the We stayed there
for like three and a half hours or so, and
then kind of right as it was starting to ramp up,
which was what we had read, like basically read that

(44:03):
like around one thirty or two, and then on through
the night it gets busier and busier because people do
their things.

Speaker 4 (44:09):
Give me finish, yeah, and then go I just had
so much turkey and stuffing.

Speaker 7 (44:13):
Let's go ride a roller coaster.

Speaker 5 (44:15):
I don't know, man.

Speaker 10 (44:16):
Apparently some people rod, no, that doesn't sound fun to me.

Speaker 5 (44:20):
But the idea better.

Speaker 7 (44:21):
Than Black Friday going out.

Speaker 10 (44:23):
Yeah, I mean the idea of being there at nine
thirty and then the park opens at ten, and it
was fairly empty for that first like hour and a
half at least, that was pretty chill.

Speaker 2 (44:32):
Did you get a chance to meet Snoopy Claus.

Speaker 5 (44:35):
I saw him.

Speaker 10 (44:36):
I did not have the dignity to stand in line
to meet him, but I saw him from afar.

Speaker 2 (44:41):
It's a hot ticket.

Speaker 10 (44:42):
Yeah, I would have been the tallest person in the
line by about three feet.

Speaker 3 (44:48):
Did you mostly stick to the Camp Snoopy area, which
is for the younger kids.

Speaker 5 (44:54):
The very good question.

Speaker 10 (44:56):
There was definitely a little bit of time spent in
Camp Snoopy, but my has finally graduated to a point
where he's willing to try stuff outside of Camp Snoopy,
which is why we did log ride first. This is
like the first trip where he's gotten tall enough that
he can get on almost every ride. Like he's not
willing to do every single ride, but like there are
big rides. I don't know many, maybe one day. I

(45:18):
don't think you wanted to do with this trip, but
he liked the log ride. He loved the log ride.
And then we did one that I can't remember the
name of, but it's basically like you you get on
and you're riding it, sort of like it's a bike
or a motorcycle or something, and a thing comes up
from behind you and pushes into the small of your
back and then you lean forward and like have two

(45:39):
handles that you hold on to. We did that one
right after the log ride, and that one was pretty fast,
and he was not super stoked about that.

Speaker 5 (45:47):
He got over it pretty quick, but it was a
little too fast for him.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
The log ride's a fun one. I mean, I think
I rode that one when I was nineteen.

Speaker 6 (45:57):
Well we I mean we went there for Ila's birthday
and in the Camp Snoopy area we were. We were
mostly contained of the Camp Snoopy area and they kind
of have a bigger roller coaster that my girls took
one look at it was like no way. But then
they have this kind of smaller roller coaster and I
just had my eye on it the whole time. I

(46:18):
was like, you're you're going on this?

Speaker 5 (46:20):
And I was back there in the corner, I know
the exact and it.

Speaker 6 (46:24):
Wasn't running, and I was just I was like, I'm
going over there. I'm gonna go see if they're going
to turn it on. And I walked over there and
the person was like, yeah, that's going to turn on,
and we're going to do it in like an hour.
And I waited and I essentially eventually dragged both my
girls onto that little roller coaster. They had the time
of their life. They loved it. I was like, hell, yeah,
they love roller coasters. We left, we went on the
log ride.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
And they fucking hated the shit out of it. I
think it sent them backwards.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
They back on the ferry wheel again.

Speaker 6 (46:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (46:51):
Well, I can't remember what it's called, but I'm sure
you guys have all done it at some point. It's
the one where you can have like six or seven
people in a circular raft and then you kind of
go down and ever gets splashed.

Speaker 5 (47:00):
Rapids rapids.

Speaker 10 (47:02):
Yeah, I think there's a more specific name, but yeah,
that that rapids one, for sure.

Speaker 5 (47:05):
We did that one. He really liked that too.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
Yeah, is jes you are still a ride.

Speaker 5 (47:11):
I don't know. I know they've changed some stuff. I
don't know for sure.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
I've been interrupted. Tell me about the rapids. Sorry, what
do you like about it?

Speaker 10 (47:18):
The fact that I was the one who got drenched,
Oh that is fine, anyone else in the whole circle,
Like he was loving the fact that I was consistently
getting the brunt.

Speaker 5 (47:28):
Of the splashes.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
Conspiracy theory too. I think there is a hot seat
in all those I think there is where one, just
one person just gets the brunt of all the waterfalls
and all the splashes.

Speaker 10 (47:36):
I think it really is just about like whatever position
they choose it in when like it takes off.

Speaker 12 (47:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
Yeah. Oh, by the way, for those who are listening,
when Gary said that I have a conspiracy theory about carousels,
I talked about on a Patreon episode a few weeks ago.
But the theory was that carousels have gotten twenty percent
faster over the years, like and they're just uncomfortably fast
now and and it's just to turn more turn more
horses around, you know.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
So that's what Chris children now.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
Yeah, freaking So anyway, were there a lot of were
there a lot of horses at the theme park area
or was it just you guys know it was uh,
there's not a lot of horses.

Speaker 5 (48:19):
It was it was really fun.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
Yeah, So jag you are, or Jaguars as Americans like
to call it. The that's a roller coaster that's not
very scary. It's a little fast, maybe some quick turns.
But that was my first roller coaster that got me
into roller coasters. I'm like, Okay, this ain't that bad.
I could do this.

Speaker 8 (48:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:37):
Yeah, And and it was a wonderful thirtieth birthday, Dawson.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
I was looking for the picture of us on the
log ride.

Speaker 6 (48:47):
I'm not going to show it on this show, but
I will just say that's the movie these days.

Speaker 3 (48:51):
And they fucking hate it when you do it. But
when they take the picture.

Speaker 6 (48:54):
And you walk up and then like you want the photo,
and you just pull out your phone and take a
picture of this screen so quickly they couldn't tell me
not to. And then I was like, let's go, let's go.

Speaker 1 (49:05):
What are they gonna do you know that at all?

Speaker 5 (49:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (49:09):
They water market. I was like, it doesn't make a difference.
I still get it.

Speaker 8 (49:15):
Way.

Speaker 10 (49:16):
By the way, good luck with your watermark. I can
take care of that in about thirty seconds.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
Oh all right, well, das, that's your Thanksgiving.

Speaker 7 (49:26):
It's good man.

Speaker 4 (49:27):
I talked to some people about aliens, and I rode
a few roller coasters. My mom was here for ten days,
and you know, it was honestly a great ten days,
you know, but she didn't get in my way or anything.
I just had to get a shitload of work done.
I'm serious. Do you think your mom has to play

(49:48):
your house for ten days?

Speaker 8 (49:50):
Dude?

Speaker 4 (49:51):
She brought her husky and her two kiddies, and so
I had the kiddies here and they're all gonna everybody's
gonna move in. And anyway, I do put my dog
in military training school, so I haven't had him for.

Speaker 7 (50:06):
A while, and that sucks.

Speaker 4 (50:10):
I haven't had my dog since like the Monday before
things or the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Yeah, and uh, do
you think it'll be all rights. Uh three week program
starting last Friday. Ye, yeah, so and then we had

(50:33):
a week of boarding. But they're they're gonna be good.
They got him fucking, you know, chilling. They're gonna make
the dog's best friends.

Speaker 12 (50:39):
But it was cool.

Speaker 7 (50:40):
I worked my ass off.

Speaker 4 (50:41):
At the beginning of the week, tried to get all
my stuff done so that I could take Thursday and
Friday and Saturday and Thursday, Friday, Saturday, I took off
and I just I did.

Speaker 8 (50:52):
I did.

Speaker 4 (50:52):
Yeah, I did what my mom wanted to do. She's like,
I want to go buy trees. I'm like, all right, dude,
let's go buy trees. Just keep just keep dot trees
in the backyard and ship. And so we bought a
king palm. I bought a King palm this weekend.

Speaker 5 (51:11):
And uh, how old?

Speaker 7 (51:15):
I think it's probably uh, I don't know. It's big.
It's uh it's like eleven twelve feet tall.

Speaker 5 (51:24):
That's pretty true.

Speaker 4 (51:25):
So like three years, four years, five years, six years,
eight years, I don't know, but it's it's not the they're
the middle range ones, the new plant ones.

Speaker 1 (51:36):
How do you transport that?

Speaker 4 (51:39):
I will be able to put it in my Forerunner
on its side.

Speaker 7 (51:44):
And that was the thing.

Speaker 4 (51:45):
My mom says to me, we'reth a tree place. She's like, Michael,
I didn't bring my glasses. Look at that screen and
tell me what I'm paying for. And thank god, I
looked at the fucking screen. I'm like, Mom, you bought
two shrub sized palms, three pots, and one medium tree,
and they're charging you two hundred and fifty dollars to

(52:06):
deliver it to our house. I live around the corner.
I'm picking everything up.

Speaker 7 (52:10):
They're not.

Speaker 4 (52:10):
They're not charging us that. Then they were charging as
a planting fee. So anyway, the order when we first
looked at it was like fucking five thousand dollars and
I'm like, yeah no.

Speaker 5 (52:24):
And then.

Speaker 1 (52:26):
Anyway, oh good, yeah, save some money on that on
that ship, on those shipping costs. And my mom made.

Speaker 4 (52:33):
My mom made the same Thanksgiving dinner that I've had
my entire life, and it was fucking awesome. You all
would love the stuffing. It's fucking standard. She stuffs the bird.

Speaker 7 (52:48):
So we had I can and I have, I have,
I get all the leftovers, you know, it's all. It's all.

Speaker 4 (52:56):
I got turkey dinners in the in the freezer. They're
gonna last me. I got dinner through twenty twenty five
covered with uh wow, the various leftovers that we have.
I have lasagna, I got a deep dish pizza that
was order out. I got turkey dinners. I got a

(53:16):
bag full of tacos that my mom made.

Speaker 1 (53:21):
So she cooked all that food for you, and you're
just like, yeah, stay out of the.

Speaker 7 (53:25):
Cookies, brownies.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
That's why she was out of the way.

Speaker 12 (53:29):
She was cooking the.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
Whole time's cooking.

Speaker 7 (53:33):
That was cool. And then we did we'd watch a
couple of movies.

Speaker 4 (53:35):

And it was good. Watch football as much football as
we can handle. Anytime a game was on, we're watching it.

sure he's seen some Pixar stuff, but I'm watching it
with him. I'm just like, oh my gosh, that's terrible.
