Speaker 1 (00:00):
I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison.
It's one more thing. I'm getty. I'm like a country song.
It is a country song. It's one of the greatest
country songs of all time by David allen Coe who died.
So he's in the news, and I was just thinking
about all the times I played his music working at
country bars and uh. He has a talking part in
(00:22):
that song where he says, I attempted to write the
greatest ever country music song, and to have the greatest
country music song of all time, you have to have
your mom, prison trucks, booze, et cetera. And so the
refrain on that part is, I was drunk the day
my mom got out of prison, so I went to
pick her up in the rain. But before I got
to the station in my pickup truck, I got runned
(00:42):
over by a damned old train. And then you get
into the sing along part, and it is such a
great bar song. Everybody's swaying and singing, and then you know,
going home with people they shouldn't have sex with.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Oh, it's just fantastic. Ah, the great David dead, so
did he? We have mostly hits on his own. I
know he wrote and I know you don't want to
hear this.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I don't talk about it. Take this chop and shove it.
Probably his biggest hit, novelty song. Yeah, Yeah, he had
other regular songs. Did he write have like.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Hits through other people like sometimes great songwriters do.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I don't know if he didn't. Man, he has a
country bar staple. I'll tell you that. I was listening
to some Robert Zimmerman the other day.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Some some of you know him as Bob Dylan, And
often when I listened to Bob, I just can't wait
to hear covers of his song. Yeah, even more than
the original. I agree, you want to hear my favorite
Dylan cover propatly?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Sure? What's that? Why not?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Ah? Jason and the Scorchers version of Absolutely Sweet Marie.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I don't believe I've heard that. I will listen to that,
and I will listen to that in my amazing cyber
truck stereo in away home today. Oh there you go.
One other thing to mention before Katie gets to a
really unfortunate story. Yeah, am I going to take the podcast?
Are we going to end it in a down? Angle?
Hold down? Joe said he's got Oh it's unfortunate. Alright,
stay with us before I get to that, though, I've
(02:09):
got a I had some sort of prostate test that
didn't show up, right, So they're doing a follow up
test on something. AnyWho, for forty eight hours, I can't
ride a bike, a motorcycle, or have sex. Which what's
the point of being alive? If I can't do these
three things in the next forty eight hours? What am
I supposed to do? But so I gotta gotta remember,
(02:30):
I gotta stay on my game. Ask your chatbots. Are
you right? You ride a motorcycle, somebody sees you, you
look kind of hot, you end up having sex, You've
blown the whole thing. You gotta tell no, no, can't.
I'm saying, off the motorcycle, bike and away them away, Okay,
tell us your story, Katie.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Oh, this is just freaking awful. So there is a
particular restaurant that I'm a big fan of, and it
has a parking lot that is not not well planned out.
And this couple umm recently we're pulling in. The driver
of the car was ninety and the passenger was his
(03:07):
eighty seven year old wife.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Sounds like my mom and dad. Almost exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yeah, so's he's pulling into the parking spot, and she
decides that she's going to get out and stand in
front of the truck that he was driving and helped
direct him into the parking spot. Oh boy, Somewhere in
the middle of all this, he punches the gas instead of.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
The brake, runs her over and kills her. Oh golly,
can you imagine now.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I've seen some correspondence with the granddaughter on a couple
of these news stories about it, and she says they
were both sharp as can be, and they would have
been the first ones to give up their keys if
they felt they could no longer drive and all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
But then it's like ninety, Yeah, that's tough because my
dad still sharp, still drives. I know, I don't have
any hesitation with him driving.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
But ah, wow's that's amazing. What percentage of folks, I mean,
what percentage of folks get to ninety, But what percentage
of folks can still drive skillfully at that age? I
can't believe it's terribly high.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Most people, most people voluntarily, it's usually I can't. It's
an I sight thing seems to be in my experience,
which gets you more than the competency thing.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah, yeah, my dad killed by a golf cart doing
the same thing. Well, not parking in a difficult parking space.
But guy, I think he may have been riding in
the passenger seat. And if you've ever played golf and
your partner gets out, you can like drive from the
seat on the right. But the guy hit the accelerator
(04:47):
instead of the break and he plowed into my dad.
And thank god he's still alive because my dad was
what eighty four at eighty three at the time.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
And I did that the other day.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I was on the passenger side of a golf cart
and my buddy was what I and so I was
pulling it up to the tee and I accidentally hit
the gas and I'm like, oh my god, just like
happened to my dad.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Do you that or any old fellows do you think
it was age related at all? I hate to say this,
but I feel like, even at sixty one, I feel
like I make more mistakes than I used to make.
You don't think so.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
No, well only physically because I've had so many like
hip problems and then muscular problems to do with my hips.
It was like just swinging and missing more than an
attention problem.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Is it was a it was, Yeah, that's sort of
what I'm talking about. And I don't know if it's
a I haven't had any of those things. Just connection
between the brain and the hands or something. I don't know,
but it's not a lot. I don't think that I
didn't my keys taken away from me, but it's more
than it used to be. And that is I can't
tell you you're wrong. Go ahead, Katie saying.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Well, that's just such a hard thing to I mean,
I remember when my parents took my grandpa's keys, and
that was that was a huge freaking deal.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I'll bet well.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I mean, there goes the independence, you know, of of
travel and that.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
One hundred percent, one hundred percent. My dad goes down
to the McDonald's every single morning, gets in the car,
drives down to the McDonald's, and sits around with some
old guys who he argues with because they're all liberals
and he hates them.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And he's fun, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Share some McNuggets. That's what he likes to do. And
then he'll come back and say, you wouldn't believe what
Bill said today. He thinks that, you know, I love
your dad already gets him going for the day. Wow.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, he and your dad could share bond, to Katie.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
But if he couldn't drive down to the McDonald's and
hang out with those old dudes every day, he would
really hate that. No doubt. Uber and Lyft help a lot,
because now you used to be because my parents are
in a small town towns towns that didn't have taxis
because it wouldn't be financially viable. There's uber and Lyft everywhere.
Oh that's great, What a god send for for ulsters.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Yeah, so this comp actually, I want to see we
you guys think of this. There's a company actually advertises
in the restaurant that had this tragedy happen in front
of but it's I forget what.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
It's called, but they show up.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
It's two of them, and one of them will drive
your car home so that you don't have to go
get your car the next day.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
That's their service. That's pretty cool. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yeah, I thought of that years and years ago, that
that would be a good service. But it have to
be a good hard drinking area.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Shouldn't have business to But as a side hustle, it'd
be all right. Yeah, you had a point, Michael, Yeah,
my great grandmother. She was like eighty nine, ninety years old,
and she would not let go of the keys and
it was a problem. They finally caught her going up
a freeway ramp the wrong way and the SHP. Luckily,
luckily there was a CHP officer. He pulled her over
(07:45):
and said, you get out of that car. You're done. Well,
that was it. He took her home. That could have
been so bad. Yeah, he said she didn't know what
she was doing. Luckily, my mom voluntarily, just like I
can't drive anymore, she decided, uh, yeah, my motorcycle wreck
was a me fault, completely, my fault, just lack of attention.
(08:08):
But I don't think I would have done years ago.
Although I've blamed that on self driving vehicles, I think
that's an up and coming issue that people are going
to learn about. If you have a self driving vehicle,
a muscle that you've been flexing your whole life, all
of a sudden you let an atrophy because you don't
have to pay attention anymore. And then I get into
cars that don't have self driving and oh lad, that's right.
I can't just look around and stare at my phone
(08:30):
for ten seconds if I want. Oh, that's kind of scary.
It's very scary, and I guarantee it's a real thing.
Guarantee you and I did that on my motorcycle. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I saw another great tiger Woods crashing his car meaning
the other day. I can't remember the setting exactly, but
I like the fact that that's continuing. Yeah, that is
actually the classic illustration of the Latin phrase.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I can never remember.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
A castigo redund redendo mores mockery teaches manners, or mockery
teaches morals. Pilled up jackass crashing his car, putting people
in danger, needs to be mocked for the rest of
his life, and people get the idea.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I don't want people to say that about me, right exactly?
I agree. Well, I guess that's it.
I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison.
