Is this the Twisted City?

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Yeah, there it is.

Speaker 3 (00:03):
No, we ain't gonna take it, baby, I got a list.
That's why I'm playing this song right, all right, We're
not taking it, Dave, Jenny. I've gotten to a point
where I can't stand at every day frustrations that older
adults refuse to tolerate as they age.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yep, old man yelling at the sky. Let's do the list.

Speaker 4 (00:23):
I noticed this with me because the commercials are louder
than the show.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yeah, I mute them, yeah, once they come on.

Speaker 5 (00:30):
Loud noise noise.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Okay, that's the one thing that cable did well. When
you go to streaming, that's not what happens because everything
is different. So when cable used to used to have
everything on the same level, so you wouldn't have to
do that. But you are correct. It drives me crazy, and.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
For me, it's competing noises, a bunch of things all
at once.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
You got the.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
TV and then maybe you have kids playing all at
the same time. It's like that's the same thing with
turning the radio down when you're lost in the car.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah you know, yeah, but who's fault? What is it?

Speaker 5 (01:00):
Dave?

Speaker 1 (01:01):
According to your wife, According to your wife. Whose fault
is it? God?

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Turn that down? It's like, I'm sorry, I'm not control
of the volume.

Speaker 5 (01:08):
Man.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
Actually, she's always the one saying turn that up please.
It's sports.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Why are you? Why is it so low? What sphinkers say?

Speaker 5 (01:16):
What? What?

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Why are you doing? Dave's joke. The one thing is
his man and.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
What I'm going out after I already got home. It's
non negotiable if the bra is off. Yeah, yeah, that's so.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
As I take my bra off, I'm done.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
The four girls that have to wear those brawls all
day long, and it's just like you take that off
and you're like, wait a minute, go back out. That
was the one thing about six thirty masks on Sunday
night is like, if you're doing a lazy Sunday, you
have to get up and take a shower, Jack, guess,
put makeup on and hair gel. It's just like we've
been home all day, you know, we have to.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Go back around.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
Then Susan wants to shave her back again to go
to church on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Night, or than buckles on her toes. Well.

Speaker 5 (02:01):
She during the winter she wears tennis shoes.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
Yeah, yeah, things that old people are old people our age.
People getting older don't want to put up with anymore
wearing clothes that are uncomfortable for the sake of fashion.
My tolerance for cute but painful shoes, itchy fabric, annoying
tags has gone way down.

Speaker 5 (02:18):
This is going to shock you both. But I'm not
a slave to fashion.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
The second I get home, the days that I have
meetings and all that, you know me, I'm a traditional
button down with a sweater on top and some.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Dress pants and dress shoes.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
The second I get home, I take it off, I
get to I put a hoodie on or whatever.

Speaker 5 (02:38):
Why is that as the hoodie and jeans more comfortable?

Speaker 1 (02:41):
It is I like to look good. And again, what
you wear says a lot about you.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Mister. What is that? Rolling Stones?

Speaker 1 (02:49):
A shockers shake it Up t shirt?

Speaker 5 (02:52):
Is from the Voodoo Lounge to her of ninety four
and ninety five.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
It's a Voodoo Tuesday.

Speaker 5 (02:56):
It's a Voodoo Tuesday.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Yes, things we don't want to put up with anymore
stuff over substance, material things matter least. It's all about experiences, relationships,
and functionality.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
I kind of like my stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
I like my stuff too.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
I can't really say that since we're doing remodel, knocking
walls out stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Sorry, I'm spending a lot of money on.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
This re start out. You start that, all right.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
He's sending the estimate this week, so we find out
the damage.

Speaker 5 (03:22):
I might come over there and just kind of look
over his shoulder when he works.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Oh please please that.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
How is that how you're gonna Is that how you
gonna do it? Okay, it's your job, dude, you.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Can install it that way.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
But I will tell you this. I will help them
demo because I love taking a sledgehammer to the walls
and stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
That's fun.

Speaker 5 (03:40):
I hate everything about it.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
I'd throw out my shoulder.

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Thank you, Brett weather b for saving our bacon. We
were talking about that last It's a bit.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
It's a big even though she almost had him killed.

Speaker 5 (03:52):
I get help that.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
My dog is a killer.

Speaker 5 (03:54):
Yeah, get help.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
It, German.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
This is I think more for younger people work. I'm
so over it. If I were paid enough to actually
thrive and didn't have to spend more than forty hours
in an office, I wouldn't mind.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
People get that attitude now in their twenties.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
No, Well, here's what irritates me when I get older
because you get really good at your job. So just
because it takes a shorter amount of time for me
to do my job, like, don't discount that as me
right right, Okay, it used to take me a lot longer.
Now I could do this very quickly. But writing an email,
Thank gosh for chat GPT because he can write the

(04:32):
email faster. I just watched Dwight type out text messages
with one finger and literally I think it took the
entire break.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
No, that was not a sentence. That was my password.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Oh my god, I'm dead, sis are you seriously?

Speaker 2 (04:46):
With one finger? He's like pink pink, pink, pink pink.

Speaker 5 (04:49):
But I go back, And here's the thing. If you
mess up, you think you messed up, it's just a
bunch of dots. You gotta race it all and go back.
My gosh, No, passwords are a B word.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
But as you get older, you don't necessarily want to
do everything your boss is. Because they said so, it's
like I'm not twenty eight anymore.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
No, No, they're so.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
And you've ever replayed meetings that you had years ago
where you were like, I should have looked at Hi
right in the eye and said no, we're not doing that.
I mean, you know, obviously, when you're younger, you just
cat cause you were built that way.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
That's how you grew up.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
You're psych Yes, sir, get the job done and stop complaining.
But you also learned throughout the years that the squeaky
wheel gets what they want.

Speaker 5 (05:28):
That's what I've never understood. Yes, the.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
People in the office that are always complaining somehow get everything,
and the people that never complain and go, yes, sir,
we'll get it done are the people that get more
work with less pay.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
It's ridiculous. That sounds familiar.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
Let's see things. As you get older, you don't put
up with any more drama. I seriously had to walk
away from a friend group because they would not stop
with it. Every six months, like clockwork, they'd be picking
who was kicked out of the friend group.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Over some minor thing.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Usually in your thirdies. I've always said that twenties are fun, uh,
but you store the late twenties, you start to drop
those friends that are just constant drama. My car's broke down,
come get me, or I can't believe my boss is
so boss.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
I lost my job again.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
You just somehow start to lose those folks and start
to narrow in on people that aren't like that.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
This applies to me in cars buying new things. I
just want to spending money on shiny stuff now. I
just want functional things that will last a long time.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
I just don't feel like it's smart to park one
hundred thousand dollars in your driveway, whether it's you're in
your wife's cars. Seems silly. I mean, these new cars
now are just so expensive. It's like, no, I'm not
going to do that. And you hear the commercials.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Only fifty eight thousand dollars make me only fifty eight thousand.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Right unless yeah, unless yeah, less. Then it's something that
you use every day, like coffee makers. I'm like, spend
the extra dollar on a car if you drink coffee
every day? Yeah, and it's important to you buy the
good one. I do what it is by the golden bar. Go,
don't get the vac don't get the six hundred dollars vacuum,

(07:05):
because guess how, the six hundred dollars vacuum sucks the
same way as the cheap vacuum.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
Contrary bonjour, the dice.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
In does a great sorry sucks the same.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
No, No, it does, Yes, it does, it does.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yes, it does, it does, it does.

Speaker 5 (07:19):
Let me put this to bed right now.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
No, you can't google that. You don't have a consumer
reports long again, you can't prove it you.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
I'm seriously how much how much different is this stuff
coming out.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
Of the Carbet says here that I'm right.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
No, six hundred dollars for a vacuum bill, Thank you.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
I feel vindicated.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
You're indicated, vindicating things.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
We don't put up with as we get older, abrasiveness
or people who are a contrarian for the sake of
being contrarian. Truly, no patience for being a devil's advocate anymore.
The devil doesn't need more ad Why are you?

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yes, It's just like, why are you arguing with me? Dude?
This isn't argue.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
It's a conversation.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
I'm just ordering a beer. I don't care if you
like it or not?

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Right?

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Stop talking? Are you arguing? You know how they make
that I don't care? Right or people go No, one
thinks like that. Why are you even talking?

Speaker 5 (08:06):
I shut up?

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Apparently I do. So. Somebody does this one? That one
hit a note? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (08:13):
Really? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (08:14):
Wow, this one's a big alcohol what Oh as they
get older, they don't tolerate alcohol so much anymore.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
It's yea or or you embrace it.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
I turned fifty six and like twenty five days or whatever. Man,
I'm telling you you if the hangovers whoever sing that
damn song?

Speaker 5 (08:33):
Oh hey, juniors hurt more than this.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah, Hank Junior was right. Oh yeah, cornbread and iced
tea took the place.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Of whatever, diet coke and fries.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
Arguing with strangers online now, if I see something I
feel as ignorant, just mute the post, scroll past it,
or unfriendly person?

Speaker 5 (08:54):
Absolutely, why are you both looking at me?

Speaker 2 (08:56):
I don't say, yeah, it's not worth it said.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
I can't believe I spent so many years yelling at
people in comment sessions.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yep, why would you do that?

Speaker 1 (09:07):
And I think that ended for most of us quite
some time ago, most of them. But cut clearly, brother.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
We were in the meetings with you.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yes, so yes, because a lot of times those people
are just trying to piggyback on your platform. So and
they don't even might not even believe that they just
are doing that to you, because they're like if he
retweets me, or if he reposts me. Then I get
all of his followers too, and they get my name. Great,
I'm going to do that. That's the problem.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
Going out to the bars till once two or three
o'clock in the morning. Give me a happy hour with
the guys over that.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Anytime.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
You can just stop at going out to the bars.
You don't need to be late at the ending part there, No,
why are you going out the bar? Uh, restaurant, different story.
Let's go get something eat some apps, have a drink
or two.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
But yep, that's it.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Just to go to a pure bar. Here's part of
my problem. I can't taste that or I'm sorry, I
can't take that. The loud noises, no too oh, the
band starting check the smell, the musty stale beer, the
stale beer smell. I don't know how I put up

(10:16):
with that. When I was younger, was never duchess disgusting.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Yeah, you could be blind filded and brought into dutches
and go I'm at duchess.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
And your your feet are sticking to the floor. Yes,
it's like, dude, why am I here?

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Pretty sure everybody can see me pee right now? Used
to live in places like this.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
Now you're no way inconsiderate people and behavior, whether it's
slow drivers and the left line, people that walk around
in stores and live like no one else is around,
people that are rude to staff, people are oblivious to them, delaying.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
You ah, rules that don't apply to them.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
I'm going to stand in front of the tomato paste, yes,
for eight minutes, like I've never seen tomato paste before.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
Well, just here's the thing. People that move slow doing
anything drives me up the wall. Uh, it takes you.
If you go to a buffet and you gotta dig
the I.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Don't understand pulling into a Kroger car parking lot and
there's a whole pile of trash, like you know, someone
just opened their door and just dumped it out right
like you were just like what kind of brain?

Speaker 5 (11:19):
Well I'll see that. I'll go to Dongers VP to
get like fill them out jeep, and right there next
to the trash cancer, somebody's empty like an ashtray or something.
I'm like, six more inches?

Speaker 2 (11:32):
What are we doing here?

Speaker 4 (11:35):
Off with their heads? Yeah, I say it's not just you.
Please hit your gas pedal. I'd like to make this
light this one. Let's see which one of us. This
applies to the most things we don't want to tolerate
as we get older. Children they are noisy, sticky little
disease machine, sticky little germ traps.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
I love kids. I don't mind kids. Why U all
to hate kids? I hate parents that don't take care
of their kids, because everybody in my group was if
the kid makes a noise and doing whatever, you snatch
them up and you're gon you take them out. When
I was, when we would go out to dinner, it
was we would say, do you want to eat or
I'll take I'll take him out and then you eat

(12:17):
and I'll come in. You take them out and then
I can eat. That's how we would do it because
we didn't want to bother other people. But I don't
remember doing that as a child. Like there was four
of us, but we sat in her chairs. We didn't
speak and yell and scream. I was afraid of what
was going to happen when we got home.

Speaker 5 (12:32):
You were in the sex shops where you have the
leather strap and the big red ball.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
In the mouth.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
You see no idea what you're talking about.

Speaker 5 (12:39):
I don't either. Somebody sent me a picture of you did.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
Know Tony, have a vacation experience with the kid that
you enjoyed rather recently. What wasn't there a little toddler
kid or something? Oh your hotel downtown.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Oh yeah, that little I mean machine. No, he was
just he was a toddler and someone they wouldn't parent.
He was screaming and running from side to side. And
then later that night when I came in, he would
They were still in the lobby and the kid the
elevator doors opened and he was standing there.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
And I was like, you gotta be kidding me.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
They're all gonna die, you know you? Did he say
something creepy like that?

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Did he skitter up the wall?

Speaker 1 (13:22):
And then I told the story and then Tony Cruise
and all them were like Shannon dude was like, oh,
there was a toddler and the and the little kid
came around the corner like a Stephen King little guy,
and he was staring at me like ten feet away.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
I was like, there he is there, he is right there.
You're going to die. And they're like, oh my god,
that is a little creepy little kid. You're the only
one that can see me.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
A little lollipop coming out of his mouth I was like, ooh, creepy, don't.

Speaker 5 (13:45):
Say any kid, what are you talking about?

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Tony?

Speaker 4 (13:47):
Exactly two more flying. I've gotten to the point where
I can't stand it. Every part of it sucks and
keeps getting worse. I'd rather drive long distance.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
I've gotten better at it, Like I don't mind it
so much. I used to really dress, especially going through
the security, TSA and all that, and then get it.
Just relaxed, Just relax, get in your chair and chill out.

Speaker 5 (14:10):
I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
I used to like not mine the fifteen sixteen hour.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
Drives when I was younger, but now now I can't
want to get there an hour and a half.

Speaker 5 (14:17):
Yes I do.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
I want a direct flight if I could get there
in an hour and a half, and I'm like, yes,
let's do that. No way, fifteen hours, a couple of
days to recover.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
And this one a lot of us going through this
right now. Winter.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
I just hate the cold and the fact that it
feels like it's permanently dark.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Why do you think people move to Florida? There are
so many people at the Jay where I work out.
It's a lot of older people, and like half of
them are gone because it's the time. It's January, it's
time for them to they snowbirds. They left on January one,
and they've been gone and they'll come back sometime in April.
And it's probably pretty affordable. I guess if you rent

(14:56):
it by the month, it's a lot less expens extensive
to do that.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
Yeah, and then while you're gone, you get new windows
put in. You come back to a nice.

at bargain Supply. We're getting all new appliances because we're
remodeling the entire kitchen, so we get to pick out
all new stuff. And there's only one place to go,
bargain Supply, because every appliance in my house already isn't
bargain supply. Why because if you go to a box
store or something like that, there's only two or three choices.

(16:27):
They have every type of appliance, even the international ones.
They have a sixteen thousand dollars Italian gas stove that
I cannot purchase. I'm gonna get the one that's a
little bit down from that.

same crew that's been there for like twenty years. When
you walk in, they'll say hi to you, or you
just say hey. Vanandi said to tell y'all, ha, they
might give you some free no bargain supply back after
this on news radio eight forty w hns do that,

(17:10):
I'm gonna say nineteen sixty three on that one.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
Am I close? No, I'm not sure. Sixty four. I'm
guessing sixty four or five?

Speaker 5 (17:22):
All right?

Speaker 1 (17:23):
That music means it's this day in music. And obviously
the first story we talked about earlier, say in history history. Oh,
I'm sorry, this day in history we talked about earlier,
the Space Shuttle exploding nineteen eighty six.

Speaker 5 (17:36):
Well, I mean you just take that story out then.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Well I was leading you into that story.

Speaker 5 (17:40):
I need the music led me into that.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
You know what, if you're prepared and not watching you
not watching those videos in the what videos?

Speaker 5 (17:48):
Were you watching a JCPS video?

Speaker 4 (17:50):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (17:51):
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
The person was breathing pretty heavy.

Speaker 5 (17:54):
She was, wasn't she? Yeah, So I'm gonna assume I
think what happened is she just finished jogging.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
This one that sounds wonderful I don't even know.

Speaker 5 (18:02):
If I should do this. Now do it? You just
do it anyway?

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Do it?

Speaker 4 (18:06):
It was today, by the way, I was nineteen sixty
for the whole world.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, I never would have called that one.

Speaker 5 (18:13):
I would have said three or four too. It was
today January twenty eighth, eighteen seventy eight. Yeah, the very
first telephone switchboard was installed in New Haven, Connecticut. I
guess that would the very first switchboard. So I guess
people in New Haven could call each other, but you

(18:34):
couldn't call anywhere else.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Well, here's the deal those ladies, because usually that was
the ladiest job. That was a meon's work. No, it's
lady works. They were the little They were the little
hits that they could hear your conversations.

Speaker 5 (18:47):
That's hot, okay, are they and you hear? And they
actually had to do this when they put you through.
They had to go one ringy dingy, two ringing.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
They did that. It's the truth, not true. Ringing dingy
is not part of wondering.

Speaker 5 (19:40):
Eighteen ninety six, Doctor Emily Grub became the first doctor
to use radiation treatment for breast cancer radio in eighteen
ninety six years later, and we're still used. Pisses me off.
That's what pisses me off.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
About them on.

Speaker 5 (19:58):
I remember a little boy and my grandfather would drive
himself to chemotherapy and we would drive home and then
round about Southland Terrace. Before we got home, he would stop,
open that door and vomit. It was just a horrible scene.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
One fast forward.

Speaker 5 (20:18):
We're still doing that.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
One in three gets diagnosed with breast cancer in this country.
I have three sisters, a wife, and a mom, So
odds are.

Speaker 5 (20:27):
A today. In nineteen fifteen, the Coast Guard was created
by an Act of Congress. They were made to fight
contraband trade and aid in distressed vehicles at the sea.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
That was today and actually fifteen No you that's wrong,
you're facing No, that's wrong. Coastguard was created for the
Navy to actually make fun of someone because that one
else makes fun of the Navy.

Speaker 5 (20:56):
Double snort, that double snort. It was today January twenty eighth,
nineteen thirty four. The world's first skeetoe became.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
What a great idea. Oh what if we well, how
did they get up the damn hill after? Before this?

Speaker 2 (21:15):
They flew up there?

Speaker 5 (21:16):
No, it says right here that until then you had
to sit on your butt and then inch your way
back up the slop.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
That's not true. How else would you do it? You forever?

Speaker 5 (21:25):
How else would you do it? Though?

Speaker 1 (21:26):
That's what I'm asking. Before the ski lift, what did
you do? Or it's ski toned?

Speaker 5 (21:31):
Do you think maybe somebody just stood up a top
and pulled you with a rope.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
They just sat at the bottom and go kind of
fun to ski down? This wouldn't Yeah, maybe someday we
can get up there.

Speaker 5 (21:42):
Yeah, but you know what if you're not skier in
the day, quick enough for you? Yeah, we did it
and let's go. Yeah, you had your fun on the slope.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
It's too it's two.

Speaker 5 (21:52):
It was today, sad day today. In nineteen eighty six,
the Space Shuttle Challenger Yeah, had a catastrophic failure seventy
three seconds after liftoff from Cape Canaveral, Florida. All seven
crew members were killed. Following the horrible disaster, President Ronald
Reagan appointed the Rogers Commission to investigate the failure of

(22:14):
the old ring on the solid rocket booster lift off.
The investigation led to grounding space shuttles fleets for almost
three years while procedures were dump delimited.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
Dumb design.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
I mean, I guess in nineteen eighties technology, I guess
it was okay. I do remember the SI. I still
remember the Space Shuttle landing for the first time. Every
school the national anthem was playing that thing was coming down.
They had the two jets following it on either side.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Remember they toed it around on a seven.

Speaker 5 (22:47):
That's exactly was going.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Like, how did that thing get on there?

Speaker 5 (22:50):
I don't know what number one. And that's when I
worked at ups out on the ramp. I never got
tired of watching these seven forty seven's take off. Huge
because I'm right next to him going there's no way.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
It looks like they're barely moving as they're lumbering down
the runway.

Speaker 5 (23:04):
Right, and then you put a space shuttle on top
of the damn thing and it still gets up in
the air.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah, Moonraker starts that way, man, because they steal it.
They blow up the plane and they.

Speaker 5 (23:13):
Steal the space shuttle.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
But it's a flying brick. It's basically just it doesn't
really fly to the it just glides.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
It falls, it falls accurately, accurately to the landing strip.

Speaker 5 (23:28):
And now it's a landing strip. What focus Well, I
was until you said landing strip is what it's called,
Like a landing strip, like.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
A little yeah, yeah, yeah, please move on.

Speaker 5 (23:40):
It was today January twenty eighth, nineteen ninety seven. O. J.
Simpson's fate was placed in the hands of a civil
court jury. They had to decide if he could be
held liable for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and
Ronald Goeman. The jury found that Simpson was liable ordered

(24:00):
him to pay thirty three point five million dollars in damages,
but the problem with that.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
He didn't have thirty three point five million. I would
have that, but.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Also you cannot in certain states, I believe, you cannot
touch anyone's pension, so he could not touch his NFL pension,
so he had that stuff. But they did get his
prize possession, which was his hero.

Speaker 5 (24:23):
Which, by the way, so i've got an honor the
great Norm McDonald with one of his greatest jokes in
my eyes, he was the presenter at the sb's for
an award. Yeah, and he said, you know, I can't
remember which football player was, but he said such and
such as here tonight just won the Heisman Trophy and said,
that's some kind of accomplishment for you to win this

(24:44):
Heisman trophy. And by the way, that's something that nobody
can take away from you unless you murder your girlfriend
and her lover. Oh boy, just a great line, right,
it is you know, it is Norm McDonald, the great
Norm MacDonald. It was today nineteen ninety eight President Clinton's plane,
Air Force one, accidentally rolled off the tarmac tarmac while

(25:07):
it was taxiing out of the airport in Illinois. It
became stuck. The Boeing seven O seven it says, I
thought it was a seven forty seven. It says the
Boeing aircraft was moving slowly and it just started. It
was starting to go towards the runway and it took
off and left the tarmac and got stuck. The pilot
raised the planes, ereved the plane's engines twice, trying to

(25:30):
generate enough power to move it, but with no success.
It was stuck. They had to get it told out.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
This is the story. Yeah, this day in history that was.
This was the boy slow news day.

Speaker 5 (25:41):
You should have put off the height. Let me tell
you how we passed the time? Oh, baby, one more.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
It's that technically a crash maybe, yeah, just getting stuck
and stuck in the mud.

Speaker 5 (25:56):
All right, let's end on this when it was today.
In twenty twenty one, people yet again proved they had
more money than since the mittens that were worn by
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, remember that and the for Biden.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
For whatever reason, Bernie's mittens.

Speaker 5 (26:12):
So yeah, the mittens, and it was crossed. Everybody was
bundled up. So funny in a case of somebody having
more money than they do since the mittens worn by
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders to the Biden inauguration, were auctioned
off and raised one point eight million dollars for the

(26:33):
stupid right.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Yeah, you understand the It's kind of a boring day
except for the shuttle thing. I mean, seriously, the invented
they invented the rope, the rope that pulled people from
skiing up. Why are you showing me that they voted
the rope that they invented the rope that pulled people up?

Speaker 2 (26:51):
What else was in there that was fun? Was was?
Was was freaking lame?

Speaker 5 (26:57):
I got it all right, thank you.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
That was kind of a.

Speaker 5 (27:01):
Difficulty. So if you heard the show.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Oh man, this is Leonard.

Speaker 4 (27:10):
Hi, Leonard need your advice, Dear Squatchy. I always thought
that dating was supposed to be a two way thing,
but it seems as if the girl I've been seeing
for a couple of months doesn't see it that way.
When we first started dating, I was happy to pay
for dinners, shows, everything. Now it's become clear that that's expected.

(27:31):
She'll even ask me if I want to go grocery
shopping with her, and when it comes time to check out,
She'll stare at me as if to say, well, what
are you waiting for? Lately she's been talking about how
great a trip to the Caribbean would be, And all
I can think of is, yeah, for you? What's the
best way to address this? Because I can't afford her?

Speaker 1 (27:51):
That's exactly how you put it, Dear Squatchy, you say
I can't.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
We got to break up?

Speaker 5 (27:56):
Way? Whoa, whoa?

Speaker 1 (27:57):
What? Why I can't afford you? I'm buying your groceries.
We don't live together. Okay, next thing, I have a
feeling that you're gonna start asking me to pay for
your car payment.

Speaker 5 (28:11):
Well, now the imagine insurance, Now you imagine it. Now
that you mentioned that, a good idea, it's a great
way to put it.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
We're done here. Why I can't afford you? Bye? Because
obviously she you know, she's got about three or four
other dudes for your money. Because you, my friend, are
a classic sucker.

be like, look, that's not how it works, bro.

hundred and fifty bucks and staring at me to pay
for it, so what are you doing?
