Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode of I Tell You What, Sam,
What are you excited to talk.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
About renting old people?
Speaker 1 (00:07):
What? Renting old people?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Yes, I don't have grandparents at all. My grandparents have
passed away and both of my grandpa, both of my
grandpas passed away before I was born, so I've never
experienced having a grandpa. So I can see how somebody
might want to experience this.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
So, okay, are how much? It's incredible?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Are you going to go to Low's?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
But does it like the rental equipment? I want just
one of the old guys standing back there that normally
is well you rent me okay, because they always know
what they're doing. Those guys when you go to the
tool stores, it's like, can you come with me and
do the trencher or at least show me how to
do the trencher. Now I got to be here to
rent the trenchers. It's like, well, can you come over
(00:53):
on the weekend saying no, I'm still renting.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Well, here, before we rent, before we get further into
the trench or renter, I'll explain how the trencher renter.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
By the way, the trench, not the trench of wrencher
it's an entirely different thing. That's if your trencher needs fixing,
that needed a trench or wrencher got that guy's usually
not at lows. Okay, no, usually not. They have to
send it somewhere for the trench of rent. But the
trench or renter, that guy's that lows.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
So what inspired this conversation is I saw this article
about how there's this service now in Japan where people
in Japan can rent old guys to be their buddies.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
So that's a little sexist.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I mean, I'm sure that there's services to rent older women.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Let's prostitution, oh boy.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
So basically I'm.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Not saying you can't do that with an old guy too.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
But anyway, it says that you can rent these men
for around seven dollars an hour, which is so cheap.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
What are you doing with these men?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
So it's like old people. I think it's to help
the older folks who feel lonely, are retired, don't have
other people to hang out with. And then you pay
them basically and they will help you with things, or
they'll go for a drive with you, or they'll just
have some cost companionship.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
So if somebody looking for a grandpa pretty much. Yeah,
so because they're not doing it with women was a
safety issue. I mean, I don't know, this is creepy.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
This particular article is just focused on how you can
rent an old guy in Japan.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
That's like the headline.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Okay, so I have to go to Japan to do this?
Can I do this in America? Or is it Japanese
guys in America or Asian Americans in America? What am
I looking for in America? This is Americans do this?
Can I just rent an old guy in America? This
is Jane rented. I mean, I'm older than somebody. I'm
not that old to be a grandpa, I guess, but
I could. I could, you know, I could go poses
(02:42):
somebody's grandfather.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Maybe this is a Japanese service in Japan, but I
bet you could start a service in America. Or maybe
they're already as a service in America, so.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I wouldn't have to go get the trench a renter guy.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
See.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
It's such a good idea, though, to go to a
Lowser home depot and just kind of look around at
the dudes that are always there and always just kind
of looking at things.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I'm always there. I love those stores. How would you
feels Low's Fleet Farm, Oh, Northern Tool Tractor Supply. I'm
all over it. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
How would you feel if somebody walked up to you
and asked if they could rent you?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
It'd be a little weird at first, but I'd say, well,
how much are we talking? What exactly do you want
to do with me? Because I've got some limits, you
know what I mean. I just want to play catch
with my dad.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, I just want like a dad figure to hang
out with.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Go get your own if you do. Depends on how
much it is.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
How much bucks an hour?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Yeah, probably that's be a little on the high end
for me, But yeah, I mean whatever. For me, all
I'm gonna do is come over and probably taken that
pay me.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I just think it's kind of a cute concept. I
guess I can see how people might find it creepy.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
A lot of people do.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
It's like this whole article goes in you how some
people do think that it's weird, but basically they are
people really using it to talk and get advice, spend
time with somebody. It helps these older It says that
it has helped many older men feel useful again. Some
have even become popular with regular clients. People rent them
for different reasons, like needing someone to listen, help with tasks,
(04:19):
or just hang out. You cannot tell me that there
is not like that. This is also not just a
front for some light to prostitution.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Or trying to get their will are that it could
be that. Yeah, But if they're renting themselves off for
seven bucks an hour or whatever, I doubt that that's there.
They're probably a doubt they're loaded unless they're really looking
for peace of mind or to feel good.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
They're either incredibly loaded or not or have no money.
Because I feel like, I don't know, like you or anything.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Do you have to change them? I mean, how old
are they?
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I mean, I guess they are. If they need changing,
I'm sure it's a little different they are.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
They like when you like, do you go to a
big box store and there's a whole selection of them
and you check thee out you're making model Yeah, at
different prices like those little dolls that we just posted
a week ago.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
This sounds like it's an online service. They can have
little descriptions written about them and like what they offer
and what they do. I don't think it's like them
just standing in a glass case at a store and
then you'd be like, I want this one for the next.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Couple hours, and then you push a little button and
they talk high.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
It says that women's women comprise eighty percent of the
services clubs.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Oh, I see what's going on here? Now hang on
to you? The will well that and I think, and yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, they just want a good time.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Many hirers are in their thirties and forties, but ranging
across generations. Young people often seek advice regarding changing jobs,
looking for work, or wanted to talk about interpersonal relationships
at their workplace.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Won't you just go to Low's and hang out and
talk to people? This is the worse, Okay, maybe that's
why I go to law I always wind up talking
to like I love the vets working at low and
home Depot, and they walk around they got the you know,
the came on and I was thanking for their service
and all that, and they I just get into the
best conversations. Well, and then they start talking about cool
stuff and they know how to fix freaking everything. These
are people that were fixing tanks like in the Revolutionary War, Okay,
(06:15):
maybe not the Revolutionary war, but they fix the you know,
the horses and stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
I think that this is just a great example of
people being incapable of going out and having normal conversations
and socializing.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
They feel like they have to.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Go online and hire somebody to do that, when in reality,
you can do what you're talking about. Go to a store,
say hi to somebody, go to a park, start a
conversation with a stranger.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Thirty and forty years or thirty and forty year olds
are starting to figure out the communication verbally is actually
a decent thing.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yes, yes, but they don't know how to achieve it
on their own.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
So they got to go buy one somebody that knows
what they're doing. Oh, they're on an app.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
It's like a yeah, it's like a website or these
guys pretty much.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
You can rent a grammar here nice? Yes, here? What
do you mean to hear?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
The US in America?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Yeah? Where I want to be.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I want to be a rent to grandma. I gonna be.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
You can rent a grandma for child in pet care. Okay,
I think that's a different kind of Yeah, that's not
that I don't think your grandpa, you don't think you're
bringing somebody over to you know. Yeah, well think about
that all the cookies and stuff you get.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
You guys, there's rent to Grandma dot com and rent
to Grandpa dot com.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
But it's a little sexist because.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
The Grandma dot com is all about nannying and like
taking care of your kids. Rent to Grandpa is all
about lawn care and like home improvement, automotive.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yes, what's your point.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I'm just saying it, like grandpa's can take care of
kids too, and Grandma's can take care of car.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I'm not buying it. You one of each. It's fourteen bucks. Dude,
Come on, bring them over for a couple of hours.
It's twenty eight bucks two hours. One's cook any cookies,
the other one sharpening your lawn board blades. It's great.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I kind of like this. Maybe I want to rent
to grandpa. I don't have a grandpa.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
There you go, people drop it on talk back on
the iHeartRadio app. What do you think?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Does anybody want to be my rent to Grandpa?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I don't know, but I'm going to isolate that audio.
I was gonna say I could use some parents, Well
so could I.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
You you've got your your friends at lows and home depot.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Right, that's right, he's got nobody.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Yeah, I got nobody.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
You go to lows, just go to loads with me, man,
I get every weekend. I go there, hang out with
those guys. Just going to my coffee hang out.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
You haven't bought anything in a year, you're doing. You
go in there with coffee and just hang out.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
You're like, yeah, that's like what happened, neighbor, and we
go in all the time. We're just going to coffee,
hang out and talk to these people.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
That's like the grocery stores and gas stations are like
in rural areas, it's always the old farmers that are
out there having coffee and like sitting at some tables
and chairs at six a m.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Just chilling.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
And we'll want pressure grain today.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Look at it pretty much? Yes, I love it.
