Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, everybody, welcome back to here we go again.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm ken and here we are.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Yeah, here we go. This this is just a fun
test to see how it's just a test. Yeah, this
is just a test. What do you think we're going
to do the podcast standing up? Why that'd be terrible?
Why get out of here? Why? All right? Everybody, welcome
back to here we go again?

Speaker 2 (00:22):
And here goes.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Right away. The one thing we decided when we were
going to do this one inside in our kitchen because
we have our little mobile microphones that we use for the.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
You're a little too breathy.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
I guess we were very breathy. We got some we
got mixed.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Reviews, live reviews, which was really nice.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
I liked that your poor I'm glad you're mobile. But
now like Stephanie won't be able to sit still and
she'll be up vacuuming. Yeah, now you get you probably
get to hear Winston drinking and people will be like, oh,
the sound quality is terrible. But yeah, we got mixed
reviews on our our walking episode. Yeah, people gave it

(01:03):
to us. Some were like hated it, absolutely hated it,
and I get it, like you knew we were walking
there's a lot of background noise, you know, birds and
nature and stuff, and some of the people that gave
us the review they may not enjoy nature, I guess,
so I don't think. No, I'm just kidding.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
But but then other people said, whatever, it was fine.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Yeah, it's fine. It wasn't even a glowing review.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
So now we're doing eighty six in the home eighty
number eighty episode eighty six Home.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
But on the cord list.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
I thought eighty six was like a code like, no,
come on, when you going down? Well, I bet nobody
can hear him.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Think it's just it's just you.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
It's probably Yeah, it's obviously just going to be my issue,
like you stay. I mean, Doug's standing here, he's gonna
Winston's literally an inch from me now, which he never.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Saying his name. Will Okay, let's just get with the show.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah, get get on with the show. So who knows
nobody else was reaching out about?

Speaker 2 (02:14):
So shout out to our cruisers.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Oh yeah, that's right, they're on an Alaskan cruise.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
We don't have to go all there.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Well, it wasn't giving out there exact coordinates. But let
me tell you one thing.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Oh no, don't. I don't want them to hear it.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, I know they have to hear it because we
saw the show.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
We saw.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
They didn't download it, I know, you know, because what
if something bad happened.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
I don't want to there's no there's no car It's
already on Netflix.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
It's already been put out. This is we didn't produce it.
So it's just if you haven't seen on Netflix. Little
documentary train wreck poop Cruise very aptly named for this
uh carnival cruise liner.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Literally just there was a fire in a control room
burned all the electricity, so in essence, not only was
the ship dead, there was no power and the.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Toyle they didn't have an emergency.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
They had emergency like power for like some lights. Yeah,
but the toilets ran off of full electricity and they
did not flush, so people had to poop in like
red biohazard bags and heat in the shower. But then,
like they found over, it took him like eight fuing

(03:28):
days to get back spoiler alert.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
I mean, yeah, it was a four day cruise that
like lasted.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
I don't even know if do you think it was
four days?

Speaker 2 (03:36):
That's what they say it was.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
It was Galveston, Texas to Mexican like almost like Boston
to or like like those short ones are off the coast.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Like Boston to the Cape or something.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah, I was I meant to say, like like Miami
to the Bahamas, like yeah, that's it's like a little
weekend thing, you know.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Right right right, Yeah, so that thing. And then when
they had some tug boats show up to move the
to move the ship, well, the tugboats created a bit
of a lilt in the boat. Yeah, and or list
or however they want to put it. And then all
all the I mean everything that was in the boat

(04:14):
was pouring out of people's showers and it was just
they didn't want people like doing things off the side
of the boat because they were nervous people were going
to fall in. Yeah, you know. And the only thing
about the whole documentary and I do, yeah, I think
it's worth watching, you know. And I feel bad if
you are on a cruise and you're listening and it's like,
I'm sure you'll be fine. I'm sure. I'm sure there's

(04:34):
always boats going up to Alaska all the time, so
don't worry about it.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, this was also ten years ago, so hopefully.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Oh, I'm sure everything's improved the world, I mean six,
my god, the world. Look how the world's improved in
ten years. Yeah, no, no problems at all. But you know,
I get it. You don't want people falling off the
side of the boat and shit like that. I do.
I do understand that. To make it up to the people,
they decided one night to like do free drinks, which

(05:02):
that seems.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Like that probably increased the urine.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Well increase urine. It probably created, you know, certainly some
extra animosity.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yes, they said there were some encounters and you should.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
Be pissed if you wanted a cruise and paid for
drinks at all. That's sucky. I'm glad our cruise was
all that I had to pay for that, thank you,
I do. But we paid for that like with our tickets,
like our right. Yeah, we didn't have to if I
had to pay for every drink I had on that cruise.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, okay, I'm glad you bring that up. Do you
remember when we were booking said cruise and you were
I know, I was on the phone, and holy smoke,
she would have put us in the poorhouse.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Well maybe, okay, I do agree. I liked that I
didn't have to fuck with any money on the cruise.
That part I liked. I love that part. I would
be still kind of interested, like what how much it
costs from what I consumed?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
I bet each drink you had was like fourteen.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
I'm surely pump it up. I'm sure they're like, because
I mean a normal drink out this fifteen bucks? So yes,
so at least at the cheapest nine Bucks right in
lit when vacation can walk down seventeen times in a
row to get a new panic Colada, I don't want
to be I don't want to have to think every
single one I'm getting whacked for. No, I couldn't imagine

(06:35):
every drink or the food. I know that. I think
food is always included.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
It is always included.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
But fat people love cruises like all that food they
can just like.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
I think that's why anyone loves cruises, because it's like
you don't have to worry about like there's everywhere.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Oh not enough, Stefan, you still found a way to
make the food situation terrible on a cruise.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Anxiety gets so crazy and then I can't find anything
you want to eat? Eat it, and then I can
never find coffee.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
The you cost us a lot of money because we
paid for your food package. We could have just said,
how much is it for seven Caesar salads and a
fucking piece of tott Yeah? For bottles of well that's
per day. So that ended. But if you don't think
there was the first day you were you were dancing.

(07:25):
You were like, I know people can't.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
See it, but you're like, I was sucking down for seconds.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, of course you were. I love those of course
you were.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
And you know it was the best when one would
fall over because one would fall over. Oh yeah, like
when I'd be sitting on top of the dock the
deck and a breeze would come and it's spill or something.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Oh well, oh well I didn't just pay fifteen dollars
just to.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Get another run.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Bye bye, bubbles, bye bye. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
So AnyWho, Okay, so that's the Netflix show.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yeah, watch it. It's worth it, you know. But like
I was gonna say, the part I didn't like about
it was there were forty five hundred people on the
cruise and they only talked to three different passengers and
some some women who were horing it up. It was
probably the man, some crew and stuff as well.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Well, I guess it's probably whoever like wanted to do
it and who they could get a hold of. And
you know, maybe after you get so many enough people
to tell the story, it's like it.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Went public, you know what.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
I mean. That one guy who was there with his
future father in law or.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Whatever, he did a good job telling us. You could
tell he was like a.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Little attention wre Anyway, he was on the ship fucking
recording everything with his phone and then he was like,
over and over again, that fucking beta. I'm not pooping
in a red bag. I'm not. And it's like, I
get it, it's not fun, but right, what are you
a fucking hero? Because I mean, just pretend you're sending

(08:52):
something off the cola guard or whatever, like they have
you shit in a box. Yeah that's true, right, yeah, whatever,
it is what it is. Sometimes I'm surprised they didn't
just give everybody a roll of saran wrap. Put it
over the put it over the toilet seat, and then
you just sit on it and or underneath the toilet seat.

(09:14):
You could wrap it over the bowl and then we
catch it and then you can just oh like tie
it up, you know what, I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yes, I think people just didn't want well, I think you.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Don't have to aim as much like a biohazard bag
is little like a poop bag, right, they look big?
You think they were big big? I mean yes, if
your biohazard, you're gonna fit like a fucking leg in there,
you know, Like I don't know, I got it caught
in my closet, like those rods that were like, oh

(09:47):
fucking that we watched it were like we were wondering
when we were gonna get back to drinking. Margaret raiatea
one with like up speak. She was annoying. I wish
that after listening to her, I wish I was a documentary.
I wish he had been on that submersible thing. That
was another thing I started watching, and I was like,

(10:09):
I know how this one turned out. Everybody just blew up, right,
remember that that's submersive. The people that were on that
thing a couple of years ago. Yeah, they're going down
to see Titanic and then they just went pop. Yeah yeah,
so that's yeah, it sucks. But I was like, I
don't I don't want to watch that.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah, I don't know, but anyways, ready for that the docum.
You said you came with a lot of Well I
got that.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
I got poop cruise. That was number one, So that's
pretty good. We're we're back after a little hiatus, well
a hiatus because we're traveling all over Hell's fucking creation
for the last week.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
We're traveling across our state, two.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
States in New England, and one of one of those states.
We went so far I think I could smell fucking
poutine coming down from the mountains. We were so close
to Canada. I don't think we're I think we're pretty
fucking close, closer than we are right now.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
We were in the middle of Vermont, I don't know,
not the dead middle, the eastern, middle, Eastern.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Okay, well it was still it was still far into Vermont.
So we had a we had a wedding to go to. Beautiful,
great wedding, the best wedding. It was great. That's that's
terrible Trump. But I'm not going to get into like
any wedding stuff because it was good. I have no
issues with the wedding yet.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
No, the wedding is yeah, everything.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
I don't like going to weddings.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Sure, I like getting drugs. You don't like doing any
of that stuff.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
If okay, here's some things. Let's I want to talk
about weddings for just a second.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Okay, now we're going to talk about them.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Why in this day and age twenty twenty five, why
are such a large percentage of weddings still planned and
done like from eighteen oh fucking two, Like hasn't any
I know people low, but I know there's destination weddings
and things like that. But why why is it not

(12:09):
on the regular for just like you have a family,
you have this event, it's in the summertime when it's
one hundred and seventy five degrees, shorts and a short
sleeve shirt. Everybody can I mean, that's not it doesn't
change total asthetic. I mean people can do that if
they want and listen, this has nothing to do with

(12:30):
the wedding. I am not saying that they should do that.
They had their special day. That's how they planned it.
I respect and love them, there's no doubt about that.
I'm just saying, for the greater good of all of humanity,
why don't people just change.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
How they get married?

Speaker 1 (12:44):
How they get married?

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Well, I think people do think of the guests for once, Yeah, okay.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
I think people have in a sense of like you know,
back in the day, like okay, just probably as far
as like.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Eighteen twenty years.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Ago, like everyone like you got married, like and not
a lot of people got married like in one place,
like it was always like the church and then you
drove to the place.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
That part has improved, So that's like that.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
So that's something that's changed that more things are like
in one place.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
And I think that's where people have kind of changed
the whole thing, where it's like we get in and
it's like a ten minute.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Thing where there's no there's no.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
Walking down the isle except for like maybe the bride
or you know, different things like that, and it's just
like very quick and it's like all right, let's get
to the reception. And then depending on how some people
do it, I think the crappy part is like for
you and I when we were just wanting to like
elope and have something here. Every place we called, they

(13:56):
were like, okay, so you're having a wedding. It's like, well, no,
we just want like we're gonna have a DJ and
open bar and we just kind of want and they're
like okay, And I was like you know, we were
thinking about having like a justice of the piece there
just to like like hey everyone, like if we wanted
to Basically every time every time we did it, they

(14:19):
were like, Okay, let's a wedding. It's a whole different price, right,
So it's like, you know, you never can just do
like what you're saying, like, oh, hey we're going to
have we're gonna rent your space for one hundred people.
We want open bar, we want all these appetizers, and
in the beginning, my cousin's gonna just like marry us

(14:41):
like five minutes.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Like I just need like a microphone. It's completely different.
It's like that that part.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
It's like for people who do want to have like
you're saying, like you know, shorts and a T shirt
like a barbecue type thing, but they don't have the
backyard you kind of get you kind of places.

Speaker 1 (14:58):
Hey, we want to do an office a summer office party.
How much is that? Oh that'd be twenty five hundred
dollars that includes everything. Oh that's cool, just kidding. We
want to do a wedding, Oh, that'll be fifty five
thousand dollars and that includes chairs.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
Yeah, or like any type of like oh, like yeah,
so it's yeah, it's crazy how they do it, but.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
But there and their point when we were looking into
it was literally, you know, hey, not for nothing as
soon as it becomes a wedding as much as and
I respect what they're saying as much as we've heard
through the years, people don't care. They're laid back, it's
all chill. You'd be surprised at the number of people
that day that are fucking freaking out and then putting

(15:43):
all kinds of demands on the staff and like this
isn't right, that's not right.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, but that wouldn't have been us. Well, take a
chance on it.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
You still have you still have breasts, so there is
a chance that that could have happened. Yeah, when you
get there and it's like when.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
We had our dinner after we got married.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Oh yeah, she even like, oh Jesus, I say anything
she was from the fucking poop cruise, like she sucked,
and say anything she sucked. Like here's a group showing
up new and we are just ready, we're gonna have
some drinks, and that bitch couldn't be bothered to come
back and reef.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
They didn't even give us like anything on the house.
What's even like a glass of champagne or anything.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
But they gave us, Oh, that was our anniversary. When
we went down to Newport, somebody did like a bottle
of it.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
Yeah, because I put it on when I reserved the table,
I was like, oh, celebrate her.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
It wasn't a bottle, it was just yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
So it's again, I get it. I do and listen
what I should do in my new twenty twenty five
look at me, mister positive kind of way. What is
to say, yeah, look at me, is to say at
least and no offense anybody. I ain't going through some
motherfucking Catholic masses where it's like three hours to get

(16:59):
hitched and say it's still an hour. Save save your
knees for the wedding night. Don't be using them to
be fucking up and down, up and down, let's kneel,
let's let's eat a fucking Jesus cracker before, Like, we
don't have to go through all that craziness. So that's nice,
because one hundred degrees in one of those churches like that,

(17:20):
going through that up and I'd be dead. I'd be
fucking dead. I'd be right fans. Yeah, I ain't a fan.
I'll tell you right now. Oh come on, Stephanie, picture
you want me to be an even bigger, an even
bigger dick with wedding because I hate getting dressed up.
I just hate it. I hate putting it on, Like

(17:41):
tucking in a shirt. To me is the equivalent of
having my dick stepped on. I fucking I wouldn't like that.
And I don't like talking in a shirt. I know
it sounds crazy, I just hate it so much.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
I do, remember. Okay, So with okay, so what else
were you gonna talk about with the wedding?

Speaker 1 (18:03):
I well, just well, I mean I was just going
to talk about with the venue. Venue okay, yeah, that
not the venue itself, but the fact that your cousin,
I guess, unbeknownst to her, or maybe she did it
to be torturous, had it in my fucking hometown.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Oh, I didn't know what you're about to say.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
I was like, you better be careful, come over with
his table and I'll kick your ass. You better not
say anything fucking me. People can say shit to you can,
but don't you fucking ever say anything about anybody else,
or I'll kill you right, yeah, being so merciless. Yeah,

(18:45):
but yeah that was in my hometown, so.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
Ken.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, no, I love that. Yeah. Not not cool, that's
for sure.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
The person who watched her dogs, she had ventured into
Keene yesterday and she was at.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
The coffee shop that we were at, and I was like, oh,
all to talk about Keen. It made you want to
go back? She goes, yeah, I was looking for Keene.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
Kiss. Yeah, no, it's okay.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
He was walking the streets. I'll tell you. I was
walking up and down there. He was running into people.
He knew we got stuck in the Jumanji Like, let's
talk about that.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
I couldn't have First of all, my cousin couldn't have
planned her wedding to be on a perfect weekend to
entertain us the morning of her wedding with Jumanji weekend
and that whole festival that day and the parade and
the race.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
One we should start with this. Let's because sometimes we
get off on a thing.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Sorry.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
First thing, I want to give a shout out to
the where where was the hotel name? What was the
hotel name?

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Courtyard Downtown at Keene.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
The Courtyard Downtown Keene by Marriott I'm gonna tell you
the girl that was checking people in Hitler's fucking niece,
what a cunt. I'm sorry there were I can be
a dick, can I can be whatever? Hold on, I
just want to make sure the computer okay. Sorry. It

(20:23):
may have cut out there for a second. I hope not.
It was just because of the screensaver. She was terrible.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
She made people feel so bad for even just showing
up with the reservation.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
When we stepped up it was our turn. They already
didn't have rooms ready. People reserved these rooms a year
in advance. Yeah, literally a year in advance. So kudos
to the bride for putting it out there, like, hey,
you may want to reserve a room. We did it,
got our room all reserved. Your parents were in the
same boat as us, a year in advance. Yeah, get there.

(20:58):
Suddenly there aren't rooms available.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
It's a they just weren't They just weren't clean. They
weren't clean. But it's.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Noon. Check in it for four hours to get rooms ready.
But regardless that that is what it is. That's part
of life. You you learn to deal with it. It's
like a restaurant short staff. When we walked up to
the front of that fucking line, and the first thing
that evil bitch said I d's please. I knew.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
I was like this is yet I was very nice
to you.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
I will say, yes, what I liked. You're always nice.
I didn't rush sure when people were douchebags. You're always nice.
But sometimes you'll let that ship linger and I'll be like,
what's wrong? Like eight hours later, you're like that fucking
girl at the counter, what a bitch? And I'm so stressed.

(21:59):
Talk to me that way, and it's like, okay, well
we're all fucking over it by now, like the people
have gotten fucking divorced in the time it's taken you
to process what happened at the fucking wedding. But no,
you were very nice. I made that joke. That's the reception.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
So so.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
Anyway, not to them, Jesus anyway. So anyway, yeah, no, Stephite.
He's like, yeah, yeah, I'm sure you're stressed. So she
was terrible. Your parents, they had to be your dad
and I waiting downstairs for fucking like an hour and
a half, just about to get a room, and it's like,
oh boy, this and your dad, you know, he's like

(22:44):
you he's trying to be fucking chill about it. He's
pretty understanding, and it's like and I know, like, you know,
even as a guy, you don't want to be a
Karen and be like, I want to talk to the
manager because sometimes there are situations where it's like a
manager can't do anything. The manager's not going to miraculously
produce another housekeeper to go up there. Like there they

(23:07):
are doing what they can fucking do right, right, you know,
it's not like it's not like they left you dirty
towels in your room, a mistake that's immediately fixable.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
Yeah, but they also sent then they shouldn't send advanced
check ins too for people, well yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
That was also something.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
It was like online check ins, Yeah, online check ins,
so like there are people who probably had already checked in,
and it's a good point and it's like, okay, well
that like that shouldn't be happening if like you can't
keep up, because it's like in essence, there's only so
many rooms that were blocked off because there was like
a lot of like weddings there. There's a lot of
stuff going on obviously that weekend, but other private events kai.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Posit for one, second. Yeah, I guess, so, okay, we're back.
My bad. I was just paranoid. We got new microphones,
a new thing. We're having a good episode out and
sometimes when we have really good episodes, we'll listen back
and they'll be like, no audio, it'll have died. Yeah,
seventy's looking at me pissed because I interrupted her.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
So right now, you know, it's already hard for me
to hold a train of thought now to like just
keep it, like, all right, so.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
The top of the hat you were just talking about, Yeah,
I was.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Just saying, is that we only got so many rooms
for that like room block, that they already should have
been divided and made sure.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
That like yeah, yeah, they had to they have a
certain number of rooms, and then they have to, you know,
again clean the rooms. And I think you nailed it
right there. I kind of forgot about that online check in.
So there's people on the road nowhere near the hotel
checking in online, chewing up that space. Yeah, and people
in person now have to wait for those, you know,

(24:51):
and that's kind of shitty. You should have online check that.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
You should if you have those rooms that are going
to be like available.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
And it's like those are the people that when they're like,
oh but I checked in online, it's like, yeah, but
online doesn't hold it.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
It just like makes us know that you are coming.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Yeah, but you know what I mean, Like that can't
that can't guarantee a spot over the person, like especially
if everyone's like blocked a room, because again, they could check.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
In and not be there for three hours.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
I know it should be.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
That's the part where it's like if.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
You check in online and then once you get there,
it's like, okay, here's your room. But if you do
it from two hours from now, it's like someone else
can get it, because especially if they need rooms that
are there, it's like, okay, this person checked in.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
But they're not here online checking. But so anyways, if.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
You online check, if you do a check in online
then and somebody's there in person, the person. If you're
going to make somebody wait for a fucking room, it
should be the person. Still, that's not yah, I know exactly.
I'm agreeing with you. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm just thinking
it through. It's like, how dumb is that? You know?

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Right?

Speaker 1 (26:01):
I mean that's for you, Yeah, that's fucking key for you,
That's right. What a shit show.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
But yeah, so a lot of people, I think we're
going to be giving some bad reviews from them, so
they were just she was, you know, and I feel
bad for the other people because the other people were
very helpful, Like when I had to go down and
like they were change change something because like my car
thought it was like suspicious, so it got like declined
and She's like yeah, and like I was just like

(26:28):
already so stressed from the beginning that like, had I
just looked at my phone, I would have seen the
text message and.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
It would have gone through, Like it wouldn't have been
like a big deal.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
It's amazing how many times that could solve problems and
the number of times that's when you don't look at
your phone, like you know what.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
I'm saying, trying to speak to someone.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Like this, I'm doing this thing where I have my
phone up to my face because Stephanie's like scroll and
scroll and scrolling, and then you decided to take a
little break. I reduce my screen time today.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
But anyways, so, but the only good thing about the
hotel once we got in is we didn't have to
see that bitch ever again.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
And everyone else who worked there, yeah, was very nice.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
So actually just the woman on Friday, June twentieth who
let it be known in front of the entire lobby
that she was This was like not even her day
off or her shift was over or something like that.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yeah, I saw like after just about everything had kind
of settled, she was walking out the door. So she
had had a day because that she took it out.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
On everyone else.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Well, this was okay because.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
Like a crazy thing that on a Friday, a bunch
of people check in at check in time.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
Three weddings, one funeral, plus Jumanji's thirtieth anniversary.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
That shit was fucking tight.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
So the filming of Jumanji was thirty years ago last Saturday,
and brought back brought back some memories, that's for sure.
I remember seeing I do. I remember Robin Williams specifically
running around downtown Keen.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
I mean you must have had like areas where you
guys could like watch and stuff exactly.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
And would you go with your mom?

Speaker 1 (28:22):
What? I was just by myself.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Oh yeah, because you were about fifteen, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Thirty years ago, sixteen thirty, I was close to seventeen. Yeah,
I'm with my mom. She held my hand.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
I don't know if Helen went a little rit She.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Sent me to buy cigarettes on my own when I
was in fourth grade, So I don't think I think
it'll be okay, Oh.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Yes, you must have been rollerblading down there.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
I probably was, yeah, yeah, and he was running around
in that green leafy oh yeah outfit and then so
that was it was kind of cool, but I mean
also kind of lame, like it's kind of they do
the entire movie there or just like just certain parts
with the center, like the center I wonder there. I
think just cast, not casting, but like a location personally

(29:11):
just needed, like to find a small New England town.
I think the book might be like a New England
based kind of fact. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
I don't really know the movie.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
There's like a real book. Yeah, it's like a kid's book,
not like it's like a picture book. Oh, the kids
play a game. It's like you've never seen the Jumanji book.
It was they were very it was very popular.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
No, I only saw the movie.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
It was like.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
He was maybe it was like gave me nervous when
I first st.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
The why which part?

Speaker 2 (29:49):
I mean it was like ten okay, when like the
game came to life and like the boy turned into
like the monkey, and like just as that could happen,
I think.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
We should have just a thing like the stuff that
makes Stephanie nervous that again never happens. You said something,
and I don't want to get off track, but you
said something to me today. Oh if I don't do that,
I think you're gonna be really mad at me, like
I've ever been really mad at you.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
Ever, sometimes.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
Sometimes you just disappoint me.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
Remember that time, just kidding, when the parking lot situation,
you weren't happy with me.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Then there's there's a couple. But if you think that
anything else is going to equate to that situation, no,
that's not.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
That's the worst.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
There's there's been a few times.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Oh shoot a few. I'm without of one, and you
already have a few bright lined up.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
I keep them in my memory in case we get
lawyers involved. All right, So, now, wouldn't you say, with
all the jumanjis, it was, I mean, it was really
like lot of stores.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Awesome.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
It was really such As much as it fucking pains
me to give any type of credit to anything, whoever
came up with having a bunch of people put on
those inflatable costumes. They were jungle animals. There were the
dinosaur sharks, you know, those like big ones.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
Like yeah, like people tried to stay probably to like
I think they came with them. I think if you registered,
you got it, because I think that's why everyone.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Kind of had like yeah, they had those big inflatable costumes.
And it was basically to replicate the scene in Jumanji
where all the animals stampeded down main Street and all
these people lined up. God blessed because it was a wonderful.
It was a hundred degrees and these people had to
make like a basically a four hundred yard dash from

(31:56):
the shoe store, which I know nobody's gonna care, but
all the way to the center of town by the
church and h I mean, these people were running fucking
lion costumes and zebras and pink sharks and this little
kid like it was a fucking it was. It was
pretty creative, and I was like, man, that's a good

(32:16):
fucking idea. I think it's a really good idea for
it for a fundraiser, you.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Know, yeah, that'd be like yeah, like at the school, I.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
Was telling Hate, I'm like, listen, you guys should do that.
You could have have everybody run around the track like
everybody buys. Everybody buys a cost. They registered just like
you said. Yeah, you charge them sixty bucks twenty bucks
for the cost, and the forty bucks goes into the
till for the whole, you know, for the event. It's
for the fundraising. Everybody lie up and then just run

(32:47):
around the Nobody gives a ship, who wins or whatever.
It's just like it's goofy. It's an instagrammable moment, you know.
I mean, just just me putting out a little snippet
where I was like, oh, look, I mean I happened
to be in Keen, New Hampshire. Jumanji's thirty thank hits

(33:07):
did you get? Oh, I think it's like twenty five thousands? Yeah,
Ken Love's TikTok on TikTok, like those views follow me
on TikTok, No don't. You don't know, but I've bumped
my followers up.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
Anyways, come on, we're not talking about.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Your TikTok, not talking about you on this podcast, about us.
Ken Let's get, let's get let's get that's nothing ever
fucking changes happening, Nothing ever changes we're not talking about you, ken,
I don't even think my other So even if I

(33:47):
talk about TikTok, my food is there to keep us
on topic? Is there a subject of me that I'm
allowed to talk to you on our body?

Speaker 2 (34:01):
Yeah, when we're on that topic, like we're talking about Jumanji.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
Okay, then you said how many TikTok did so we actually.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
Because you said you said it was a really good moment,
and just by putting that little moment.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Up here, I am in keen, I go tell how
many views you got? And then you started going into TikTok.
So I was just trying to ring.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Back right enough of that right that I get you,
I get you, noth of that you.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
Make me sound I'm telling I don't and I don't
like to live, and then I feel like I'm a
bad person.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
I don't make you sound like anything. It's a podcast.
You make yourself sound that way.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
Oh I'm sorry, you make me feel whatever. Sad. Okay,
we'll say those things.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
Because one hundred times we'd probably be a little more introspective.
But so after the after the wedding, again beautiful, we
got to do some dancing that was fun. There was
a part.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
Okay, we drank a lot.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Actually I didn't really drink that much.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
Well I meant for like the whole weekend more than
we Oh yeah, I mean Friday night.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
Oh boy, I didn't have like a log a lot,
but I was. I was sipping. I'm pretty good and
I felt so on Saturday.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
And then Saturday I kind of just like watched myself
and I and I felt good on Sunday. You did
not feel good on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
I just had a headache. On Sunday. I felt okay.
I wasn't like nauseous or whatever. I just had a
really bad headache. And I think that was from like,
oh look, I've had seven Gin and Tonics. And then
there was an after party at Margarita's restaurant, and then
I had to Margarita's. Yeah. I don't think that mixing

(35:54):
was was too was too swell. But I'll tell you this,
there's another drink I don't think I would ever get again.
People bought me a drink as a joke, and it
was the Dirty Pickle I like it though, which was
just vodka and pickle juice with a pickle garnish, like
a dirty martini. Yeah, I guess I don't drink dirty

(36:15):
olive juice. Yeah, I don't like olives. I don't. I
like pickles, and it's like you take a sip and
it's like.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
Like maybe this is good, an extra pickley because when
I get a dirty martini, I asked for filthy, so
that means extra olive juice.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
Who knows?

Speaker 1 (36:36):
I think you know you get like a problem all
that just straight up, don't you know it's a fucking
fruit in there, or like a mixer besides juice that
is mix. Olives are disgusting. That's I don't get.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
I don't get all of blue cheese stuffed olive, oh baby,
put in my mouth.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
You fucking Portuguese. You must have survived on a boat
just licking mouse turns or something. You guys have some
weird fucking taste. I know. I'm just I'm just straight
up white. Just give me some corn, give me some bread, right,
But you guys are like I like the stuff oll

(37:22):
lives with old skanky moss and dirty cheese.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
Yeah, I mean I think it's just.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Like just eating spiced meats over on the boat. Yeah,
you wouldn't eat snails or like nope, nope, just I'm
not sure the first person ever looked at one of
those gross looking motherfuckers and said, hey, good eating, let's
pick them out, periwinkle.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
But there's been times like at cookouts and stuff where
they got the winkles.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
It's been a long.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
Time, Perry winkles. What are we that's.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
B Yeah, back in the day, it's bad.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
If you guys get muscles, I don't get it. I
just yes, steamers, that's your muscles.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
Yeah, muscles and steamers are different. I don't think so
steam cleans.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
What Yeah, steamers or muscles are like their muscles and
steamers are different.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
I don't know. Whatever, fucking gross anything out of them
shells like that?

Speaker 2 (38:24):
Have you ever dipped it and ate it? What?

Speaker 1 (38:28):
Dogship?

Speaker 2 (38:29):
My dad drinks the water?

Speaker 1 (38:31):
Yeah, sure, why the fuck not. He's the first one
who bought the dirty pickle drink. That's what I'm telling you, Like,
you're not, you're helping my case where it's.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
Like flavor Yeah, real scart.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
Kick Jesus right, yuckie.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
But anyways, back to the weekend.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
So anyway, so we go from we go from the wedding,
get it all done, come home, had to do some work. Reality,
I had to do work and that's sucky. And then
right after that, back on the road, baby, right back
on the road. No time Vermont, no time to relax.
Fucking three hour drive just about enough enough, because if

(39:18):
that was anyway you'd be like, oh, that was like
forty to fifty Stephanie people. This is why I have
no patience.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Three hour drive, Okay, like I keep these Okay.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Give three hour fucking drive to Vermont. We were up
in Lincoln, Vermont, and.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
I still don't like, actually know where it's near.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
Well, I'm not gonna look at them. Yeah, something'll fucking
do something weird, h It was. It was a haul
and we uh we stayed family. It was a nice farmhouse.
It had all been redone. I think we heard about
how the guy came ref finished. It took him five
years save nails from the farmhouse. It was like a

(40:06):
whole big fucking story. And I'll tell you this. Let's
take a step to the side, Okay, only with the
fact of like it was an airbnb correct, And I
personally think that hotels and that verbo have one major
thing going for them. Okay, there are no fucking owners around.

(40:30):
When I want to be on vacation. Oh, when I'm
on vacation, I don't need like house own or how
fucking showing up every day to tell me some story about.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
What the fuck actually makes me a bit uncomfortable.

Speaker 5 (40:48):
You know what.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
I normally would give you shit, but it makes me
uncomfortable too, because I don't need somebody there one feeling
like I left some socks on the floor and now
he's like nervous that the socks are gonna fucking do
something to his house. Two. I'm not very social, so
I don't I'm not into this to meet somebody, yeah,

(41:11):
and have conversations about shit I don't care about. Like
I kudos, dude, you finished this fucking out. That's awesome.
It took you five years. That seems like a long
fucking time, But maybe you did it all by yourself. Yeah,
you know what you could have put into this fucking place.
Maybe an air conditioner.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
Well, because there, we didn't actually meet him, right, I.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
Did not meet him. I'm very grateful for that because
I don't I just don't like that that idea. I
don't need the peron. I don't need somebody showing up
at my hotel room door who's like I built this,
hope I don't want to hear from the architect.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
Yeah, I don't remember where because only like we've done that,
like I booked was that one in Tennessee and I
think it.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
Was on that verbal. I don't really know where it was.

Speaker 3 (42:00):
But that guy never came, but it was nice to
know that like he was around, like if something happened,
like you could just like message him and whatever.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
It's like good to like in that sense, but I don't. Yeah,
I kind of was like.

Speaker 3 (42:14):
Who is this because like he just popped up around
the corner. He's like okay, just taking out the bins
and it's like okay, like that should like one be
in the agreement that like on this day the owner comes,
so like you can be aware of that or just
tell them that, like you know, put out.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
The bit like right, it's like it's it don't need
to inject yourself into Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:38):
Yeah, because he was like when he was talking and
it's like I could really care less because I'm like, again,
I that's like great that you want to tell me
about this house, but like I really it's hotsh shit.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
Like because the last thing like I want to I
was like yeah, there.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
Were enough fans like yeah than Satan's crack in that it.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
Was really it was a really nice house and it
was like it was a really pretty view and everything
views so like in like the probably like the fall,
like end of summer. Like it'd be like nice if
you were like you know, wanting to if you're wanting
to get together, yeah, winding together with like a small

(43:18):
group of friends or like whatever your family, because it
was like a pretty good sized house, but truly planned
to just like be at the house, like do games
at the house, like cook at the house, just everything
in the house and really not have to like leave
to go into because there's nothing around zero.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
Yeah, there's like a general source like each ways, and
like there was a town.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
That wasn't too like a shaw As that was probably
about like twenty five minutes away, so like not too bad,
but like really that's that's it, like unless you were
skiing and there was like a ski place. But to
just like be there for a weekend with like I said,
like a small group, that'd be really nice because it
was a really nice house. It was big enough, it
definitely had a lot of different things that could like.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
But you better like staring at each other.

Speaker 3 (44:12):
Well, yeah, that's what I'm saying, Like if it's just
kind of like okay, we'll go for a walk, you
know what I mean, Like right, certain certain bass, but
like the roads were so scary.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
Yeah, we had to drive up and down like a
literal mountain to get there, and then so up the mountain.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
All twists, that one was paved.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
It was the first time in my life I got
carsick driving because it was so twisty and turny, like
it was. It was a lot, it was, Yeah, it
was a lot. And then then that's just to get
to the other side of the mountain and then it
was dirt road to the house.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
Then we saw a deer, which is kind of cool,
like ast side of it, because it was like getting
the fuck out of here, and because it's like, oh,
maybe that owner's right, he's gonna tell me about the
fucking house again. And he jumped, he jumped into the
woods before that guy could show up tell him about
the fucking natils. But yeah, beautify, I mean it was beautiful.
Like if you wanted to, like you said, you said

(45:13):
it perfectly. If you want to get together with people,
just have a visit and that's what we did Crazy
Girls Weekend where everybody just wanted to sit around and
booze it up and laugh and do it.

Speaker 3 (45:23):
And like people probably would travel I don't know, but yeah,
like you could definitely, yeah if you came with like
but yeah cars that definitely can go up and down
the mountain, I'll tell you that.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
And if your car, my dad lost the muffler.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
Four guys, fucking muffler.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
Luckily that was able to be fixed like in that.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
Yeah, that worked out. But then we were down then
like our big, our big event to do. We went
down to that river. Well, like we had to fucking
climb down an embankment and everything else, and then we
got to walk. The river's beautiful. I mean there's a
falls right there, so it's like, I don't want to
sound like whatever, but but the fucking locks on the

(46:08):
bottom of the river they were killing my feet, Yeah,
and they were everybody kind of had the same thing.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
I did not dig off my shoes, so I didn't
have I locked out.

Speaker 3 (46:17):
I know, my dad was wearing sandals the other day
that I was like, you should have been wearing so
because they were like tivas.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, and I was like much better. Yeah,
if we had really like that was just an impromptu thing,
Yeah we did. If that had been planned, I would
have had it, like I don't know, one a bathing suit,
and two I definitely probably would have thought about like
crocs or something. Excuse me, there's a bug on there's
a bug undug? Is that a book? Oh boy?

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Well I think he got a little inside his ear.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
Oh no, what is he gonna what is he gonna do?
So anyway, when we woke when we got up there
and like we said, there was no ac I was
so happy because I woke up. It was a miserable
night sleep. It was really a miserable night sleep. The
bet and I just want to get this one. The
bed was small, it was hot in the room. We

(47:11):
did have a fan. We had we had a like
a Costco like.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
Dollar ninety nine smaller, it was smaller. Yeh.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
Luckily the room was small, so the fan was sitting
on a chair next to the bed and that was
it was like three inches from us.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
I was so because I actually decided that I was
not going to say anything about how I slept, okay,
because it's like I'm learning you think after close to fifty, Like,
even if I do it in a joking way, there's time.
There's a time and place where people just don't want
to hear like I'm in this beautiful house. Somebody else

(47:52):
has paid for it, right right, we got these views,
we're all together. Nobody needs to hear about ken like, oh,
you had a bad night sleep yep. Everybody that woke
up after us fucking The first thing they said is
they slept terribly. Yes, it was hot, it was terrible,
They were dying. It sucked. And I was just like,

(48:16):
and I was able to share, but I am trying,
you know what I mean? Because and you know what
helps me to realize to do that. That would be
my son, who is basically in some ways a mini me. Yes,
And when I hear him say stuff, I'm like, oh, buddy,
what the fuck what are you saying? And then it's like,

(48:39):
oh my god, that's what I would say. And nobody
wants to hear this. Okay, you know there was this.
You know who Jim Norton is. You know Jim Norton,
he was best friends with like Patrise O'Neill, who I
never really I hit my mind. I never really knew
anything about Patrise O'Neil. He was just big guy. I
guess he was always kind of like mean, real quick

(49:00):
witted whatever. And he he actually the way Jim Norton
was described the guy's dead, but the way Jim Norton
was describing this Patrice guy as he got older. He
actually he had a project that he was doing and
somebody was being a real dick on it and he
said to somebody, goes, hey, is that how I am

(49:23):
on other people? They're like yeah, and he said, I
never want to do that again. So it's like trying
trying to be more self aware.

Speaker 3 (49:32):
I always try to be. When people are assholes to me,
I give them that energy right back. So when people
like talk to me like I'm stupid, I just talked
to them like there's.

Speaker 1 (49:40):
Stupid giving it.

Speaker 3 (49:41):
Listen somebody, Yes, you like, I don't come at people
like aggressively unless like they've already.

Speaker 1 (49:46):
Came in and even I think you would say generally
I'm not aggressive to people.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
No, you're just something awfish.

Speaker 1 (49:57):
Well yeah, if I don't like you, I'm not talking.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
No. When you go into a new place, you and
Hay dinner very much. The same. You guys are like
awkwardly standoffish sometimes.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
Especially if you guys like don't want to be there,
Like you're not like aggressive, but you're like your arms
closed a little bit, and then like you then you
warm up a little bit.

Speaker 2 (50:16):
But people can tell like it's okay, buddy, we're here.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
Yeah. No, people should expect that. I don't that part.
I probably won't change. Like I'm going into something that
I don't know, I don't know anybody. This means it's
something set up by my wife, So right away I'm
already kind of like on it, well, I mean on edge,
and yeah, yeah, it definitely takes me a few minutes
to warm up, that's for sure. I think that's pretty

(50:43):
I think the number of things, and I'm always saying
this because like I think you would agree, the number
of things that you've brought me to in that mindset
is probably four hundred to one. Like you had to
meet my family one time, and then it was all
like I've met them. I've not brought you too many

(51:05):
outings where you were a stranger to anybody.

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Oh yeah, right, and when are you a stranger to places?

Speaker 1 (51:13):
Every fucking wedding that you've drugged me to in some aspect,
I don't know people like friends of yours that have
gotten there, or every work Christmas party and get together
that you have. Oh oh my god, just like just
that's why you like, this is why I stand offish
and close off because I don't like I don't know people,

(51:35):
and you're like, it's fine for me. I know everyone.
Why are you being this way?

Speaker 2 (51:39):
People feel like they already know you.

Speaker 1 (51:41):
Well they shouldn't because you don't even probably really know me,
Like oh that's oh that oh that you know me?
You know all my deepest dart. If I talk about
me for thirty seven seconds on this show, then you
know you know nothing about me, because Stephanie will rain
that shit in like she did a few minutes ago.
You literally fucking.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
Cut cut all right, Ken, At least your voice came back.

Speaker 1 (52:08):
Stephanie's Life Take two. Yeah, my voice was fucking shot
after the wedding shot because somehow Ken has to scream
at people to dance.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
You get crazy. I like how I had into that
you were like a dance floor hig. Yeah, And I
think I said something to her said let someone else get.

Speaker 3 (52:28):
In the mill.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
Of course. Hey, look it was finally having fun. Let's
stop him. He's having too much.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
I wasn't saying you couldn't.

Speaker 1 (52:42):
I was saying, ok, hey, oh my god, it's how
much fun. Let's do karaoke? Ken, you kind of took over.
Oh my god, we're gonna go dancing. Oh it's a
wedding Ken, you like hogged up though. I did say
that dance floor, but you said you just said you
would breed. Well. I was just saying, how much space

(53:04):
did he need?

Speaker 2 (53:06):
He just maybe he was doing like a little shoulder bob.
He was nervous that you were gonna.

Speaker 1 (53:15):
Jesus Christ as a as a as a guy, like,
how do you how can you win? There's no winning,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
But and then no, but yeah, okay, So then Vermont
and then we came back.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
Yeah, he came back, and the.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
Drive was fine coming back, no scaries, you know, the.

Speaker 1 (53:36):
Drive on the way back. This sounds really this is
gonna sound super super lame, but it was. It was
pretty close to a miracle fucking moment for us. That
we both decided I was starting to get a little
a little sleepy because it's like one hundred and seventeen
miles on one one road and we were like halfway
home and.

Speaker 3 (53:58):
Yeah, shout out to the west Evan in exit Levin
in New Hampshire.

Speaker 2 (54:03):
I'll tell you what. They placed that plaza right off
the highway.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
We took that exit three dream fucking food that was
familiar to us, not like McDonald's or whatever.

Speaker 3 (54:16):
They had one ten, five guys mos Panera. Then they
had j crew home on. Yeah, they had I think
an older Sophora they had.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
Yeah, they had like two seconds off the exit.

Speaker 2 (54:29):
Yeah, and then right back on, right back on.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
Do you know how many times I'm sure other people
have gone through this where you decided like, let's try
to get food. You see food signs on the highway,
you take the exit. Now you're in a whole different way.

Speaker 3 (54:40):
Because that was the thing that I said, like, just
take a ri said, okay, there's all three or to
the right, and we all of a sudden.

Speaker 1 (54:46):
We took all there. We took that fucking right and
it was right there. We went to Moe's. I thought
about five guys, but it's like little health and you
got yourself.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
The stack to stack. Yo. That shit exciting I had
from dinner too.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
Yeah, you had it too. You got two meals out
of the stack, which is basically like a crunch wrap
supreme from Taco about but on steroids.

Speaker 3 (55:07):
Yeah, because you just put your your They had all
different ways you can get like either.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
A bowl of burrito tacos the stack, and I think
there is.

Speaker 1 (55:18):
Like one more tacos. Yeah, I'm sorry, a bowl burrito stack,
maybe a salad, salad and tacos.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
Yeah, you had all difference, and they had came.

Speaker 1 (55:29):
With chips that I was like, you got you Yeah, yeah,
you thought I ordered.

Speaker 2 (55:37):
I thought you'd like or chips for like both of us.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
Not that anybody probably cares, but I haven't had a
potato chip of any kind yours.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
That's like his strugg is strikes.

Speaker 1 (55:47):
I think it's going to be ten years now. Yeah,
I probably has, because I would eat too many.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
If it isn't ten years this share, it's ten years next.

Speaker 4 (55:56):
It's pretty it's pretty fucking close because I low of
potato chips. I love crunchy fucking potato chips, and I
don't care what it is. You don't need anything zero
zero chips. I don't even eat. There are things that
look like chips. Sometimes the only thing.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
That you'll eat that's closest to is those pop ones.
The ones are like corn I don't even.

Speaker 1 (56:20):
I don't even. I don't even with those. I try
not to. Well if I do, I don't know. Sometimes
the kids will give me ship because on taco night
I'll smash up a taco shell and it's like, I know,
a taco shell in essence is a is a big chip.
I mean, come on, that would just be fucking overly

(56:40):
technical here. So whatever.

Speaker 2 (56:44):
But yeah, so we made it back to Vermont facts,
ye got food in our belly. And then I drove
home the last day.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
You drove the last hour, and I, you know, and
I I wasn't compling. I did a lot of the driver,
so I was really I was surprised. You don't all
the keen back and forth.

Speaker 2 (57:02):
That probably made you feel good.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
No, I mean it's better than like, you know, it
is what it is, yea. You know, I don't know
how to discriret because you know, it's as far as like,
you know, relationship wise, er you know, for men and women.
It's like, as a guy, you know, you kind of
have this thing where you want to drive, you feel
like you should drive, but I really don't like driving,

(57:24):
and sometimes, and for years, with the way work used
to be, I was very tired all the time. I
couldn't sometimes I could not even go ten miles without
falling asleep. Yeah, so you've always been very good about
about that. But you're also very good about running right
to the fucking passenger's seat and hopping in and then

(57:45):
and then two minutes later you'll be like, why didn't
you just ask me to drive? I don't know, because
up's a hazard that ship right into the passengers.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
Am I supposed to do?

Speaker 1 (57:55):
You just said you can ask me before we walk
out the door, before you establish your dominance in.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
Where you could say, hey, would you want to drive?

Speaker 1 (58:04):
That's not how it works. Well, we'll figure it out
one day someday, someday when I'm dead, you'll figure it out.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
An hour back to reality, back to.

Speaker 1 (58:15):
Life, back to reality, and I'll tell you this. I
had a great time seeing everybody. We get to spend
time with our nieces. They were so cute. That was
a lot of fun. Like, believe it or not, I
am human. I do like to spend time with Like, Actually,
this is gonna sound fucking creepy, but I'd rather spend
time with children sometimes as adults, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
Yeah, No, it's just like a different vibe.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
Children. Children are entertained by me. Adults just think I'm
a douchebag. Like I played chess with one of our
nieces and I blue bubbles for I don't know, seven
hundred and fifty hours. She likes bubbles, and then she
was like she liked blowing the bubbles herself. But some
I think she was eating some of that soapy stuff.
I mean, she was like, you know, she's twenty months old,

(59:02):
but she figured it out and so that was fun.
But I am glad to be back because I'll tell
you for somebody if you listen, you know, ken's a
fucking moron when it comes like always eating and shit
like that. Listen, when you eat pretty much the same
thing every day, not out of obsessive compulsive, but just
because it's easier to track and whatever by it feels

(59:27):
like you are fucking storm in Normandy Beach with food
every every day, like wondering what the fuck you're gonna eat,
you know, And I cooked This sounds really boring, but
I cooked eggs for everybody in a cast iron skillet.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
You're excited about it was.

Speaker 1 (59:44):
I was super excited about how it turned out because
I was so fucking nervous how it was gonna go.
We've had non stick pans that I'd say, if I
put a dozen eggs in there, eight of them would
be stuck to the bottom of the pan. Yeah, this
thing just threw some butter in there. Let that kind

(01:00:05):
of whatever put those And I was using a fucking
metal spatula, which makes you feel like you're doing something wrong,
like the owner is gonna pop up and say, hey,
stop sucking with of course. Yeah. Yeah, And I made
a dozen eggs. They came out good, whole dozen. Yeah,
not for myself, I mean I cooked for everybody. Yeah,

(01:00:26):
you know, I made bacon in it too. It's spit
but it was pretty good. Everybody was like, oh, I
don't like cooking bacon. Your dad was actually throw it
in the oven for whatever. I don't blame him. Cooking
bacon sucks, you know, four slices at a time in
that pan. So that was pretty but you know, getting

(01:00:47):
back to you know, I'm happy to be back to like,
oh I have food available.

Speaker 2 (01:00:52):
Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
Keeps sure I have without I'm sure this is not
gonna come any shock to you. I know that most
of my issues when I really again being introspective this year,
really trying to to work on some things, I know
that ninety nine percent of my issues mood wise or whatever,

(01:01:18):
have always stemmed from just control issues. Like if I
don't feel like I have control of the situation or
it stresses me out. Yeah, it gives me anxiety. And
it's probably done that my whole life before any of
us knew what anxiety was. Like, why am I so
fucking angry? Why am I like so like? And it's

(01:01:42):
just because I need to have control. If I don't
have control of my time, I have control of certain things,
it just just freaks me out. You know, how about you,
because you don't really have control issues. I mean you're
anxious nervous all the time. Yeah, but it's not even

(01:02:03):
that's not about control. You just you just think about
everybody's stuff like a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:02:11):
I don't have a problem with like not being in
control of things. But like when I know, when I
know something is the way it is, or like how
it should be done, or just like how to get somewhere,
I'll take like that opportunity to like be in control
of my own like situation or destiny.

Speaker 2 (01:02:31):
I was like driving myself there, so like.

Speaker 3 (01:02:32):
I'll control situations like that so I'm not stuck.

Speaker 2 (01:02:37):
I don't like being stuck.

Speaker 1 (01:02:38):
That's just learning through the years that certain things like
oh yeah, we'll just take your car and then when
you're like, oh shit, why are we still here?

Speaker 3 (01:02:47):
Yeah, So I don't so in certain situations, like I
do like to be in control of like when I
can leave places.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
So that's probably like my only control. But like, no,
I don't care like if someone host the party, like
or if someone Oh no, I don't care about that
certain thing. Like I don't have to be the one
who tells people the information. I don't have to be
the one like you. Like we've talked about it, like
on different things, like you couldn't get another job because

(01:03:15):
like you said, like you can't handle having someone as
a boss.

Speaker 1 (01:03:18):
Oh that's listen, I want to make sure. Oh yeah,
I wouldn't want to.

Speaker 2 (01:03:22):
Oh well you told me like I thought it was.

Speaker 1 (01:03:28):
Anyway, we'll talk about this off air, like just saying
I really wouldn't want to, like it would be hard.
But it's like obviously I'm capable. I wouldn't want to
go to fucking war, like because it would be probably
pretty scary to get shot at it. But if I
had to, I guess I would do what I had
to do. You know. It's like what I was saying
the other day, it's like, holy shit, like I'll put

(01:03:48):
stuff out on TikTok, like I'll do videos or whatever,
and it's like, God, I've been such a fucking man
cunt about having Stephanie take pictures of me. And here
I am, I'm doing this. It's like why, And I
realize it's because I don't have control of how I
probably look in the picture. You're just like you know

(01:04:09):
what I'm saying, and it's like you probably don't care,
but for some reason, I fucking do.

Speaker 2 (01:04:13):
Because like I because I took control of the situation.

Speaker 1 (01:04:16):
No, just because I didn't know, not because you took control,
because I don't have control of how that picture might look.

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
Maybe it is maybe that's the truth.

Speaker 1 (01:04:23):
No, because I wouldn't want well, I probably wouldn't want
to take a picture anyway, you know what I mean. Yeah,
you took control, but again I didn't have. It's like
I think we're kind of saying almost the same thing.
It's not about somebody else having control, it's about me
not having control. You take me to some place where

(01:04:44):
I'm kind of like on edge about going, it's because
I don't have control to leave. I don't control when
if I'm having a bad time and I'm really like miserable,
I can feel tracked.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
Sure, you could say I don't want to take picture, which.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
Oh I tell you all the time where I give
you the face right, So maybe that'll be something I
can improve down the road. So controlling more or no
letting go of certain things, that's all, you know, to
a point, not to a point where like when I

(01:05:20):
was younger and get taken advantage of Yeah, you know,
but like I can give up a little bit, I'll
start to trust you. That's what it is. Sometimes just
trust trust, Yeah, just trusting trust me. No, I don't.
I don't trust really anybody because I don't know. Well,

(01:05:41):
I down I trust you. Well, that's good, but I
don't know. I didn't grow up. I don't think I
grew up with everybody having my best interest at heart.
So I don't. And it's like the people the people
that didn't really should have Yeah, so who else is

(01:06:03):
if they didn't, who who will?

Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:06:08):
You know what I'm saying. And it's not like I
don't trust you, Stephanie, but it's.

Speaker 2 (01:06:12):
Like probably for another episode.

Speaker 1 (01:06:13):
Another episode. After I talked to my therapist, once I
talked to Groc.

Speaker 3 (01:06:18):
Yeah, well that lady helped us out a lot yesterday
because you were putting something on me. And she literally,
she literally basically summed it up as o ken, oh,
but you're too aggressive to Stephanie.

Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
We went for a walk yesterday and guess what we saw? Oh,
Doug's have an dream about the fisher cat we saw?
We saw straight up fisher cat in the woods. I
knew it was a fisher cat.

Speaker 2 (01:06:45):
No, I had to bring you back because I pointed
it out to you.

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
You saw it first once I saw it. Oh, okay, okay,
because you know that's the truth. I wanted to take
a picture of him because I've heard this. I'm not
saying it's the brightest move, because it was running away
and I was like, I'm gonna get a picture of this.
And then as I was standing there, he decided to

(01:07:11):
come back towards me, not like within.

Speaker 3 (01:07:14):
Feet, but he was.

Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
He was in the woods, and then he was standing
up and he was looking and now Stephanie, she's she's
one hundred yards away. She is very far away from
the fisher cat.

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
To ask you if we could just leave? Yeah, I
wish you would be more brave.

Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
Well, that's what I told you. That's what I told you.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
You told me that in the woods too.

Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
Oh well, you could have been more brave, right, wouldn't
you be proud of yourself that there is a bird
outside that is very upset right now? But anyway, it's
cool to see the fisher cat. It's very rare. We
were talking to Groc. I talked some shit and then
Grok basically said I was an asshole.

Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
She said, sometimes adrenaline affects people differently. For you, it
obviously made you excited and more brave. For me, it
may be something about all the horrendous stories I've heard
about how fisher cats fuck up animals.

Speaker 2 (01:08:05):
And then you were like, oh, I think it's near
its babies.

Speaker 3 (01:08:10):
I was very nervous, and then you, after I told
you that was nervous, and we finally got out of there.

Speaker 2 (01:08:15):
You showed me the pictures and it made my legs
get all soopy.

Speaker 1 (01:08:19):
And that's that's probably when I was like, you could
be more brave, like when you got nervous brave in
the woods, Stephanie. I was trying to show you a
picture you were nervous about looking at pictures of the fish.

Speaker 3 (01:08:31):
We were out on that and I thought, you know,
if that maybe that's what I saw the other day
when I was walking dougraph it was a fox.

Speaker 1 (01:08:39):
We were out on the road and she was pinching
and zooming on my phone and her knees buckled when
she saw. So it's not like I'm like, get in
there and give that fisher cat a kiss, bitch like
you were. You fucking almost dropped to the ground nervous
looking at the image of the fisher cat.

Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
Yeah, just saying it seems but likes out of whack saying.

Speaker 3 (01:09:08):
But then she had said, well, what's the craziest thing
that she's seen in the in the wood recently? And
it was a lady slipper And she said, well, that's
a very big extreme, both very rare, fine.

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
The most exciting things Stephanie seen in the woods is
a lady slipper from lady slipper.

Speaker 3 (01:09:28):
To who was curious, but she did calm me down
by letting us know that the fisher cat was probably
curious for standing of course, just as.

Speaker 1 (01:09:42):
Just as afraid of you as you are of it.
It was like talking to a six year old. The
AI had to step like.

Speaker 5 (01:09:50):
Wait, what grown person would be scared of this fisher cat?
Oh maybe it's a child. Don't worry, don't be nervous.
It's not under your bed.

Speaker 2 (01:10:02):
No, it's not in your thinking about.

Speaker 3 (01:10:05):
But today I was thinking about running outside and I
was like, well, it's definitely not going to run through there,
and that's like a nice like easy way to cut
to another street, and like.

Speaker 1 (01:10:15):
We got the other path you can take, I know,
but now.

Speaker 2 (01:10:19):
That one's done. So it was that's where the ladies
suppers were.

Speaker 1 (01:10:23):
I think we can go back, not a whone, maybe
not a lot, I get you, but that's it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:29):
Any just.

Speaker 1 (01:10:33):
The thought of going for that walk. You just had
that reaction, and people wonder why it's like the one
you gotta be more brave. Even if I said it
in a more douchy way, I think we can understand.

Speaker 2 (01:10:45):
Nope, I don't want to do that. Well I don't
have to, but I think I go into work and stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
Yeah, I agree, and we've been talking for a little bit.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
Yeah, you've wasted a perfectly good.

Speaker 1 (01:10:54):
Hour hour in ten minutes.

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
That would be good for our cruisers. Hopefully they can
listen to it if.

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
You are on this Alaskan cruise and you are looking
forward to hearing from us, like what's the view got
to be?

Speaker 2 (01:11:08):
Like?

Speaker 1 (01:11:09):
No, I'm just saying you, in that time, would you
want to go on an Alaskan cruise?

Speaker 3 (01:11:13):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:11:14):
And I feel like, like, I know, Alaska in the
summertime is nice. I'm not stupid, But is it like
I think that there's I.

Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
Think that they only weather, you know, I think that
they only do Alaskan cruise.

Speaker 2 (01:11:27):
I could be wrong. I could be wrong. I believe
it's only from like May June to like September.

Speaker 1 (01:11:36):
But yeah, honey, because once the ice started, well no.

Speaker 2 (01:11:38):
No, I no, I get that.

Speaker 3 (01:11:40):
But so it's like obviously going through but oh yeah,
the doctor that I used to work for that live
in Alaska. The pictures that like they posed that shit's
like amazing. I'd love to do it in a cruise. Yeah,
you could like get to see like everything.

Speaker 1 (01:11:57):
It's a long flight to see.

Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
Yeah, it's not too bad. I mean it, Yes, I
love that.

Speaker 1 (01:12:05):
The cruise we went on. I'm not gonna bore anybody
because people like listen, we went Boston to Bermuda. We
drove forty five I know it's been a while, drove
forty five minutes, got on the boat.

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):
Yeah, obviously boom, we were gone. That's an easy one.

Speaker 1 (01:12:18):
Yeah, you do have to send me a picture of
a fucking moose. That right. To me, that was perfect.
But because it bumps up that cost, like of the
cruise quite a bit.

Speaker 3 (01:12:29):
Well, I airfare, yeah, and I think if the book
was the cruise line, so I think you can get
a deal on air for but I mean it's tricky.

Speaker 1 (01:12:37):
Right now with oh playing planes upside down, it's just crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:12:42):
Yeah, it's kind of a lot. But yeah, to Introgress, yeah,
that'd be awesome. Or like a Hawaiian cruise would be
good to see, like all of them.

Speaker 1 (01:12:49):
A cruise, a cruise to Mars. I mean they're all
fucking nice. We can all dream. But I didn't know.
Oh yeah, which which you'd be in if you'd be
interested in that? Yeah, all right, Well anyway, before this
thing cuts out, it is something weird and all that
for all of us at here we go a get,
including Doug and Wynston, who were very good boys. They're sleeping.

(01:13:11):
I'm ken and I guess we'll see you next time.

Speaker 2 (01:13:15):
Yeah, we might do another run again soon.

Speaker 1 (01:13:19):
