For him, he says.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
If I really well with this lady, at the at
a grocery store or for so hopefully that'll that'll work
for him because right now, you know what I mean,
he's a smart kid, so and he shows that he's ambitious.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
So that'll really help him, you know what I mean.
You just got to stay that way.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
You said a grocery store called him. Yeah, was there
like the big Lee Whigley is in the movies on
the tank, right.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
I went down and love with Piggy wiki.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Fuck and the weather what do you say it was?

Speaker 1 (08:04):
He said it was cold out there, I guess the
day or a couple of days before you went, and
it snowed really lightly so.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
And he's in a little city called clear.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
View or something like that. So I don't know how
what's that? What that's really gonna be like? So let's
see we put it into my old trustee iPhone us.
See how about we put.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
In well, damn, I didn't know you were leaving today?

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, bro, which is crazy to me, like.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Just out of nowhere, And it takes you know, six
days off being able to compile all that together to
make it happen.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
So yeah, you remind me of my kids.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Why starting a new job and take already requesting time off.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
That's where my birthday do. So just kidding, ting, I
know how much you gint. That is not giving me
any for clearview. You know he ain't even moving no
clear view. Utah.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
There, we'll just do Utah about that. Utah ooh? Utah
is forty four degrees in Utah?

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Damn?

Speaker 1 (09:30):
And what's today today? Today it's uh sunny with a
high of forty six. It's currently thirty four degrees in Utah.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
That's crazy. That's cold, kid.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Partly cloudy toball supposed to be part of cloudy low
thirty one high on forty seven, Holy shit. And the
weekend's the same, thirty one and fifty one, thirty four
and fifty six. Monday it's cloudy forty to sixty or.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
What if he lands a job right away and they
tell him to work right away and you're going out
there and not gonna be able to see him.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
You know, he's got to do him. We got a
airbnb do We're gonna we're gonna explore Utah. You know
what I mean, figure the city out. I mean, when
we went over here, you should go play there. I mean,
when we went over here, you should play there, so'll
be cool. Maybe we'll go to Zion National Park. I

(10:31):
don't know how close he is to that. So that's
supposed to be the place where they have all like
the like the orange and red rocks and the and
the sand dunes and the rocks with.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
All the different colors in it. M I guess you've
never heard of it.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
No, really, yeah, I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Mm hmm. You probably think it's a Yosemite.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
But I think that because they have places where you
can go and you can like rent bikes. Not that
I would, because fucking Utah's about high, right, I don't know,
I know, I know Colorado is so you talks about high.
I might have a real hard time breathing there because
the air is center Colorado. Albuquerque was the same way

(11:18):
is Utah.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
You got the proper clothing for that for this trip.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
I got sweatshirts. Bro is Utah mile high stage. No.
Utah is not considered a mile high state like Colorado Colorado.
While Utah has high elevations, including the mountains and King Peak,

(11:46):
it's average it's average elevation is lower than Colorado, and
no major city in Utah is a a mile high elevation.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Cool. I can breathe just as bad there as I
do here.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
You're gonna freeze your longest breathing dead.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Well. I mean, yeah, I got a couple. I got
a couple of long sweatshirts. But that's about it. Dude.
You got gloves about handwarmers.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
It's too little, look like eggs. M hm.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
And you charge them on to the USB warm your hands? Nice? Uh,
I gotta take a couple of beanies it the side
of my head, in the back of my head, bald. Uh.
I got those things that go over your face, like

(12:40):
when you ride a motorcycle, you know, we cover your
face and down to your or if you're outside in
the wind. Instead of just wearing a mask, you put
those like sleeves over your face.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
You want talking about like what we used to wear
for COVID.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Yeah, kind of, Yeah, I got those that.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
I probably take one of those and walk around with
a skull face on the bottom my face. Uh take that? Yeah,
I don't know, I have no I think that's cold.
I think I think my cloth, my clothing is like

(13:16):
sixty degrees at the most, you know what I mean?
And then cold he not on.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
Book, just don't go outside too much.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, I'm I'm sure that.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
I don't think they have big people in my side
in Utah because you know, warmans don't let you get
too fat. You know what I'm saying. You gotta stay
in shape to be a warmon. So you know, all right,
And we were giving him ship, Uh, but you come
back with no Mormon girl.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
Bro, he's going when he comes to pay, he's gonna
be bringing you homemade butter right.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
See, you better not come home with no fucking magic
underwear and ship because we're gonna have problems.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
And now that he's gone, how's his replacement?

Speaker 2 (14:06):
He's been good, dude.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
He's really kind of quiet. Is he quiet because he
doesn't know you that well? Or has he always been
like that?

Speaker 1 (14:15):
He's always kind of carried himself like that. He's very
kind of quiet. He's very he's very civil, he's very
always talks really nice, very respectful kids. So it's good.
It's one of Milo's. You call him like a bandmate,
a group mate, would would friend pal?

Speaker 3 (14:34):
Uh? Bandmate? Yeah, I guess you'd call it a bandmate.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Fuck. I'm glad I don't have any fucking baby all
in the house. Because I'm not gonna be like I
don't know, but he called me like P Diddy and
ship making the band and shit, you know I mean
so yeah, I mean he's been he's been good so far,
paid his rent on time so far already.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Have ground rules been made?

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Oh, they were made before he moved in, bro, and
we sat down, all right, So here's the deal, dude,
ain't no. Fuck, it's not gonna be coming out bachelor
pad with girls coming in and out.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
He's not allowed to have women over, said, unless they
bring in one for me. No, might not be bringing
girls over or a girl. I don't want to get
him in.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Well, I'm saying if he had a girlfriend and he
wanted to bring his girlfriend around.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
She can come.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
I'm not I'm saying I don't want like we'll be
bringing a new girl every day every other day. You
know the house like it's not gonna be like that,
like treated like it's your mom and dad's house. If
they would they let you come with a new girl
every day to stay the night at her house. Probably not.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
And if he had a girlfriend and she was here
a lot, the.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Rent would go up. Fuck yeah, bro, you know what
I mean, Because The problem is like, especially like with Milo,
and I'm assuming him too, and probably a lot of
kids they don't because they don't see those bills. And
then understand that every time they fucking flip light on,

(16:03):
that the meter running, you know what I mean, So
they don't see by leaving the light on, the bill
gets higher. You do this, the bill gets higher. Are
you up all night playing video games? Guess what? Meter running?
You know what I'm saying, Like they don't see all that.
So oh but but I'm already here. And but there's

(16:26):
two of you now, and I'm not gonna pay for
two of you. You know what I mean. Your rent
pays for one of you, not two of you. You
want to add somebody on. Guess what, there's an extra charge?
Fuck the dumb shit.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Have you been alone with him here yet?

Speaker 1 (16:42):
He stings in his room For the most part, he
doesn't really come out like what's cool though, is like
what I really like and respectful part of him? Is
it Like I'll come home from work and he'll come
out and hey, dad, how you doing. Le'll shake my
hand cause your dad he's been around a lot. Du
he's been around for a few years, so.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
He really is replacing Sea Bass.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
I was just kidding, No, I don't hug him.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Was that you don't hug Sea Bass either.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
But I wasn't.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
I wouldn't hug him in public or you know, in private.
So that's fucked up. He's just kidding Sea Bass. Don't
don't let him get to you. So, you know, uh
so that's kind of cool, lucky, you know what I mean.
I just get that that respect level.

Speaker 4 (17:27):
I mean, have you guys sat down and had a
meal together, all three of you or or anything like that.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
Not yet, not yet. I'm sure we will probably when
I come back, you know what I mean. But what's
what's really cool?

Speaker 2 (17:38):
And I think that.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
I don't know if it's Milo being mine's concern for
me or if it's he sees a clear path. Now,
you know, a couple of weeks before Sebastian left, Hey, dad,
let's watch a movie. What you see? Let's watch a movie.

(18:01):
My friend gave me this DVD and uh, let's check
it out, Like all right, cool, what what is it?
And it was some you know, it was one of
those movies that was like, at our time, was fucking outlandish,
you know what I mean like, uh oh that movie
road Trip remember yeah?

Speaker 3 (18:21):
Uh Tom Green and No One.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
Yeah, Tom Green's in that. DJ Qualls is is that?
And then two guys that the main guy, I don't
know who he is, but he's got he's been some
big stuff, but I don't know his name. So anyways,
I was like, yeah, let's let's check it out. So
then it was an older DVD and because I have

(18:44):
that Xbox, it wouldn't play it. Fuck it, which just
rent it, no big deal. So I didn't want to.
I didn't want to run away. Yeah, ruined the moment.
I didn't push away to just sit and spend some
time with you, pops, you know. So he did. Bro.
He wasn't fucking with his phone too much. He was laughing,
he was talking talking about shit, talking about what he

(19:06):
was gonna be doing and music and all that. And
I was like, all right, cool. And then this morning
before he left for work, and he was like, which
is kind of scared me, and I'll tell you why.
He was like, hey that, so did you watch that?
Did you watch that Jeffrey Dahmer shit? And I know
these are old, but I was like, yeah, I watched
a couple of episodes, bro, but there was it just

(19:29):
became too much. Like I didn't want to I didn't
want to know that much about that kind of person,
you know what I mean? Like I was cool. He
was like, yeah, that's heavy to watch. He said, what
about the Meninda's brothers? Did you watch that one? I
said no, I said, you know what, I didn't really
pay attention to much to that one.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
It was when it was actually happening. But I know
that they killed their parents, right He's like yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
But then he starts telling me that, yeah, but they
go into how what really happened, like how they planned it,
that their planning to kill his dad. So he came
up with this story and I was like, why are
you asking me if I watched that ship? Well?

Speaker 2 (20:08):
Were you and brother playing and behind my back?

Speaker 1 (20:12):
So I got now I gotta watch that just so
that I can sit and have a conversation with my
little about it, like you know what I mean, Like,
now I got to figure out how to He's given
me the opportunity to figure out how to make that connection,
so I gotta I gotta take his cues and kind
of make that connection with him so that we can
have a different working relationship as well.

Speaker 4 (20:31):
Did you when you watched sat there and watched the
movie Togain, did you guys order some uber eats.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
Chow down with each other?

Speaker 2 (20:40):
I think that's what I think. That's how it started.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Because he had asked if I wanted pizza because he
had ordered pizza, and normally I won't, but you know,
he ordered it. He's obviously he's reaching out, like you
know what I mean, like, y'all have a couple, a
couple of slices. Cool, you want to watch a movie? Yeah,
to do it? Oh yeah, I don't know what.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
You want to watch?

Speaker 1 (21:02):
All right? Cool? So it's okay. So you know he's
he's putting the all the branch out. I'm you know,
I'm reciprocating. So that's I'm glad that I was able
to recognize and let it be what it is and
we go from there, you know what I mean, what
comes of it comes of it? It is what it
is at this point, you know. Wow, Yeah, it's it's

(21:24):
kind of uh, it's cool that he's doing that, you
know what I mean. I'm glad that he's he considers
just the right time to to kind of do that
to Okay.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
Now we're not to see bas ain't hogking you all
the time.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
I just he and I saw Eye a lot more
than Milo does, you know. And Milo doesn't mind arguing,
And I'm just like, I don't want if I I
don't want to argue. I want to come home and
be cool, you know what I mean. Could be why
I'm single too, Like I don't want to fuck out.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
So now the real question, Yeah, have you been lonely?

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yeah? And it seems like the more people around me,
the more lonely I get, because y'all are fetnoms. Yeah,
but yeah, because everybody wants that. As much as I'm
okay with being alone, everybody wants that companionship, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
But there's times.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Where, like you know, especially this job now, because there's
so many women that are kind of in charge or
consider themselves in charge that Yeah, I'm good, bro, what
do you Yeah?

Speaker 3 (22:48):
What are you referring to?

Speaker 1 (22:50):
Like when they start asking you questions or you'll tell
them what you did and why you did it, and
then they question you want to be like, heymen, I
don't need to be in fucking interrogated. I put thought
into it. I told you exactly why I did it
and how I did it?

Speaker 3 (23:06):
Are you getting in trouble at work? Nah?

Speaker 1 (23:08):
Man?

Speaker 3 (23:09):
What do you do?

Speaker 4 (23:09):
What do you?

Speaker 3 (23:10):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Well? Because they that's what I'm saying though, But that's
how they make you feel like you did something wrong,
because they'll ask you questions about hey, whoa no know.

Speaker 4 (23:20):
What I'm saying is, where's the transition from if you're
feeling lonely because seabas ain't with you to women getting
on your nerves at work?

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Because because that's because that is I don't want to
be interrogated. I don't want to be fuck like sometimes, Okay,
how many times in your life you've been married twenty
nine years now?

Speaker 3 (23:42):
Yeah? Almost?

Speaker 2 (23:43):
How many times in your life is just said what
are you thinking?

Speaker 4 (23:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (23:48):
You see? And then and then you can't just say
nothing because you're bullshit. What are you thinking? Who is she? No?

Speaker 2 (23:56):
You?

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Right?

Speaker 2 (23:56):
So then you got to be like all right, so
and then you got to concoct.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
A a non lethal answer, right, and then and then
you got to answer questions about that too. It's like, goddamn,
it's like my expected to dude, you used to buck
the fuck out of me, Tony. We lived in a
two bedroom apartment, so in the living room you walk
towards the kitchen, and if I took a rite, I

(24:21):
was either going to my kids bedroom. If I took
a left, I was going into the bathroom. If I
walked straight, I was going into the bedroom. There were
no doors to get out of the house in the
back of the house. Okay, so I can't get up
and I take it right. Where are you going? I'm

(24:43):
gonna go climb out the window in the back room.
I'm gonna drive over to that fucking grocery store. Do
you want anything? I've been sitting here drinking fucking tea
all afternoon. What do you think of going?

Speaker 4 (24:53):
My wife and I we ask each other that question
every time when we're sitting there having dinner, watching TV. One,
We'll get up, Where are you going? Because like what
I mean, it's just bro, it's called being married. I'm
going to the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
I mean you need something, which like, where the fuck
does she going that in that house that you can't
find her? I don't even know where are you going?
Right down?

Speaker 4 (25:19):
Turn around and tell you what When I asked the
question more than half the time is because I want
to know where, you know, is she going to the bathroom?
She going by the kitchen, So maybe I might want
her to bring me something you mean a chocolate cupcake?

Speaker 1 (25:32):
I don't know, because you got enough time to pull
the willlie out and pack your plug before she gets back.
Uh yeah, I just I don't know, dude, I mean not,
that's one thing that about I don't want to answer
it any I don't want to be the I don't
want to answer it anybody, you know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (25:55):
So are you saying are you when I asked you
if you were feeling lonely? Are you do you think
I'm referring to get you a chick?

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (26:05):
I was just asking if you was feeling Now, now
I see the bridge. I get it.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
Now, what bridge from me saying are you lonely? Because
I was just saying, because Seabads was with you all
the time, are you feeling lonely that he's not? But
you took it as it's time for you to get
a girl, and you're trying to explain to me why
you don't want to right, No, I wasn't.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
That was but yeah, maybe it's time to get you
a girl.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Well, I thought that's what I thought. That's what we're
getting at.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
We would have probably gotten there, jump the gun on.
That's what I'm saying. I don't get it. I don't understand.
What are we talking about.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
Just a little bit. Yeah, I don't know. I do.
It'd be cool, it'd be cool, that nice way to
come on to and just chilled and you know, relax.
But damn it require a lot of work. And you

(27:04):
know they do because you jumping in. Know they don't mean.
It's just a part of life, and you know.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
You know what it was. Do you remember when you
were dating girls you.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Put all that was ever dating anything else?

Speaker 3 (27:18):
Well, you had to put in all that work.

Speaker 4 (27:21):
Calling them, taking them out, buying dinner is work. That
work just continues throughout the relationship. It's just different kind
of work, that's all.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Mhmm.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
You work to get a paycheck, right, you got that paycheck?

Speaker 4 (27:40):
What are you doing the next day? You're still working
same ding. You got to continue to work. It's just
a different.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
Kind of work.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Have you ever gotten a job that you thought you
really wanted go to that job and then next be
like fuck that, I'm not going back. That was bullshit.

Speaker 4 (28:05):
Uh No, I don't think, so I'm thinking about like
little side jobs I might have picked up. I remember
one time my stepfather, he was a uh he's passed away.
He was a contractor and his his specialty was concrete
and cement. I mean he could build you a house,

(28:26):
but his his his forte was semantic concrete. And I
went to work with him once and he's he's he
was white. So he had like his brother working for him.
He had like some nephews working for him. And they're
the type of family like they like to argue, you know,
that's the one thing they do well was fight.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
Bro.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
They were young, you know, because when the when concrete
is poured, but you got to get.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
To work aunt time.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
It's it's especially exactly so I mean doing all the frame,
meaning so you lay out what you're gonna do, the shapes,
the curves, whatever all that is. You know, you do
not at your leisure, but you know you're doing it.
But when that truck backs up with that long ass shoot, it's.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
All hands on that and dog.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
They were yelling at each other, cussing at each other. Dude,
it was it was frightening as much as it was funny, right,
And I was just like, yeah, I can't do this.
I cannot do this. I cannot get yelled at like that.
Not that he would have, but I mean, you know,
it was just a whole different world for me. And

(29:37):
I was like, yeah, that's not for me. I don't
necessarily think I was doing it to actually do the work.
I think I might just wanted to kick it with
him for the day to see what he does. I
tie on my hands and it was crazy, kid, And
it was one of those things that they were You
ever noticed when somebody's working so fast and working so
hard that you just see them fucking up because they're

(30:00):
just trying to do too many things at the same time.
A lot of that was going on, but yet the
job turned out perfect, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Wow, Yeah, they're they're well. Two things though. There's something
to be said about working in an environment like that,
especially when when men, for a lack of better terms,
are men, you know what I mean, the fuck did
you do that?

Speaker 3 (30:28):
For a lot of that.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Go fucking still there, I got, hey, fucking blah blah blah,
I'm fucking this fucking idiot did this this? You know
what I mean? Because that's just the way. It's easier
for us to express ourselves that way, right to where
this generation wouldn't deal with that. Right, Oh my god,
he's he's making my anxiety go through the roof. I
don't know whatever, right, And uh so that's there's something

(30:55):
to be said for growing up around that kind of
that kind of thing. Use your thick skin, lets you
learn how to do shit makes you think differently. Not
that it's perfect or that it's it's always right for everybody,
but there's something to be said for that kind of environment.
And it just it's fun, dude. It just makes a

(31:17):
fucking day go by if you can just let it
roll off your back, or if you can eventually learn
to do that. I had that happen one time when
I was in in Albuquerque. After I got off of radio,
I had gone to work at Aaron's and one of
the managers, my store manager, asked me, you got it.

(31:38):
You're handling it.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
You can close the drawer and.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Do Yeah, we got it. So he left early that day.
He said, all right, well, if he calls, tell him
that I'm I'm out doing uh collections at the sixty
plus people and I'm going home from the field, all right.
So his boss calls, don't even go going goodlah blah,

(32:00):
where we sitting, gave my numbers, don't remember what they
were getting numbers, and he said, hey, so where's uh
what's his name? And I remember his manage the manager's
name right now, And so I told him.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
He says, are you fucking telling me that?

Speaker 1 (32:14):
On on Friday night, the end of the fucking month,
he decides to go home early.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
So I'm just telling you what boss said.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
I'm gonna hang this fucking phone up and you better
get him on the goddamn phone and have him give
me a call back. So I hung up, and I'm
sitting there and I'm like, this motherfucker just chewed me
the fuck out for that. So I called him back
and told him, Hey, listens, been, I got an issue
with the way you just talked to me.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
I said, my dad, don't even talk to me like that.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
You told your boss's boss this.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
Yeah, absolutely, you ain't call him bark at me like that.
You know, fuck who you think you are. At the
end of the day, were still growing motherfucking men.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
Although he was probably in his sixties, but that don't
mean it's okay to bark at me like that. I
didn't do fucking nothing wrong. And he wasn't barking at me.
He was barking in the situation. I get it, but
I didn't like it.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
I don't like it.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
So I called him, Hey, man, we got an issue
to don't. I don't want to be talking to you
like that. So my dad doesn't talk to me like that.
When you call, you can show me. You can show
me a little bit of respect if he's if you
got an issue with him, hey, you know what I
needed to get I needed to have him get on
the phone and call me immediately, and just so that
you know, this kind of shit is not acceptable when

(33:34):
you becoming a manager.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
And this is why let's have a conversation.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Cool. I get it, I got you, I said, But
to call him talk to me like that, that's not
gonna happen. I'm you know what, You're right. I'm so sorry, Bob.
I wasn't thinking. It was just you know, I gotta
get a little emotional, a little old school blaha. Uh.
I get it, I said, And I do too, And
that's why I can That's why I can have this
conversation with you and let you know that that doesn't
work for me. All right, cool? I got you never again, bro.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
And you know what that old school food was saying, pussy.

Speaker 4 (34:04):
Kids today can't even take a little yelling at exactly
exactly exactly, don't talk to me that exactly.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Because I thought about it afterwards, I was.

Speaker 3 (34:15):
Like, so.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
I don't know what's wrong with you right now, but
you know, Fuet, you do what you do right.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
One time when I was hr about him, when I
was at the rental car spot, we I think I said,
we were offside off the airport, so we'd have to
have a bus driver, you know, make rounds to the
airport come back.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
And in the summertime it was real slow.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
So instead of having a bus that just constantly went
to the airport and then came back just on a rotation,
you'd when somebody was at the airport, they would pick
up a phone and would ring the office and say, yes,
I'm at the airport.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
He pick me up, So we'd send the bus to
go pick him up.

Speaker 4 (35:03):
The problem is it's a big old bus and it's
one hundred and twenty degrees outside. It would take so
long for the for the ACA to kick it. So
sometimes when it was just like one person, they just
jumping a large car and go pick them up, usually
the car that the actual person was renting. Okay, that
just leave the luggage, you know, come inside and do

(35:23):
the paperwork. So one time a female customer comes rolling
in and half the dudes didn't speak English. You know
that I worked with, you know, I was watching. I
was a car washer, and so the dude calls me over.
He's like, hey, I don't know what this lady's saying,

(35:45):
and so I said, I said, miss kid, can I
help you? She's like, I don't know. He's talking about,
you know, to leave my luggage in the car. But
I got to go to the airport. And so I said, hey,
you're telling her, you know, to leave her luggage in
the car she wants to go to airport. Goes, yeah,
I know, which to take her in the car because
the bus is hot, And I said, oh, well, he's
just it'd be more comfortable for you to for them

(36:07):
to take you in the car because the bus is hot.
She was as a manager here and I was like, yeah,
he's inside. So she goes inside. The manager comes out
tells me, hey, can you tell him to start the
bus so he could take this person to the airport.
So I tell the dude, I was like, yo, he
want you to take her in the airport in the bus.

(36:28):
Guy was like okay, you know, obviously that's what the
boss is saying. So he comes back from the airport
after dropping her off, and the manager comes outside and he's.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
Telling he's yelling at me to yell at him.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
You know that Apparently that was like somebody from corporate
and legally, because of his insurance reasons, we have to
take him in the bus because if it was like
an accident, you know, I don't know it was what
it was, right, but it was one of those things
that he's like yelling at me. You we have to
be taking people to the airport in the bus. I

(37:03):
don't understand why you guys are doing this. And I'm like, yo,
I washed cars. You know it ain't my fault. I'm bilingual.
You ain't gonna yell at me because I'm bilingual, right,
tell him this, don't tell me. Well he doesn't understand me.
I'm like, okay, well tell me and I'll let him know.
But you're yelling at me. I'm you taking me. I
was supposed to be watching this car right now, leave
me alone, dude. It was rough, kid, I had that.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
I had that bilingualist all with my boss this the
other day, cause it was it was fucking busy, bro,
like crazy, I was dealing with this this. So I'd
helped the customer and I got them in and out quick,
and then so it was like I got there. We
opened at eleven, No, we opened at ten that day.
So I helped that customer at ten, and then they

(37:48):
set me up with this next customer at eleven. They said, hey,
this lady, they really want this person, but this person
doesn't come in until noon. Can you help them? Make
y'all okay? Sonny comes back, he says, oh, they're racists
that don't want you to help them. You know. It's
cool though, Wait, all right?

Speaker 3 (38:05):
Cool?

Speaker 1 (38:07):
So he goes back and they I was standing there
talking to him, and she said, well, is this the
gentleman here that was going to help us?

Speaker 2 (38:13):
He was like yeah, he says, okay. She said, well
we'll go with him.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
That's fine. So I, you know, put my hand out
to shake her hand, just being a dick because I
know that they're racist She's not gonna want to shake
my hand, right. He says, Hey, my name is Mingo.
She said Mingo, Yeah, like Mingo with an M. And
she chuckled, and she says, well, I think I feel
like I just want Bingo. Let's go sit down and
talk about a car. All right, cool, let's go. So

(38:39):
I had her eat it out of the pall of
my hands within a couple of minutes. Right. So then
they come over and one of the girls pulls me aside. Hey, uh,
they want me to trade out with you because they
have a Spanish speaking only person at the counter, and said, well, yeah,
but you're the only one that's a verity. I'm not available.

(39:00):
I'm with the customer. Yeah, but they can swap you out. No,
they can't. I said, I'm with this customer. It's not
fair to them for me to step away because somebody
that doesn't know how to speak English in the country
that they're in, don't know how to speak the native language.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
That I got to leave where I'm at.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
If there was if all the Spanish speakers or all
the Americans were with somebody, and I was the only
Mexican that knew how to speak English, You're not gonna
pull me off of Mexican to go help the white person. No,
they can wait, or they can make an appointment to
come back when I'm available, or where there's another Spanish
speaker available. Okay, So she went up frunt and they

(39:42):
didn't pull me off the thing, and they was, oh,
thank you for doing that, Like we didn't want we
didn't want anybody else to help us anyways, like we
would have just left. Blah blah blah. My whole fucking point. Right,
So I'm done and I'm walking back to go to
the bathroom, right because of two bathrooms the back or
busy said I go take a leak. I was walking
up to the front. Hey, migo, can you speak Spanish

(40:04):
for me? Reroka, can you translate for me? I think
this person wants this, And next thing I know, I'm
fucking up there for like ten minutes. My skin's turning yellow,
like you know, I mean, you come fucking getting John
just doing this fucking job. So I got them squared
away and I made them wait, I'm I gotta I
got to the bathroom, find another Mexican album. I'm busy,

(40:25):
Like what do you want to do? So I go
do that I come back. They gave me another white person.
I'm sitting there halfway through, Hey, migingo, can you come
speak Spanish just real quick, just to tell me what
they need say? Can you guys excuse me? I gotta
go translate real quick. Oh, be right back. So I
went and I did that, and then I had a manager, Hey,
can you this this person seems to be upset blah

(40:48):
blah blah blah blah. Would you mind talking to him?
I said, Well, I'm not gonna talk to him, I said,
but I'll translate for you. Okay, So I start translating.
Halfway through the transl the manager fucking leaves. So now
I get to not only translate, but manage the situation.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
I don't make management money.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
I don't want to make the call.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
Didn't people who spoke or by the man who got
paid more?

Speaker 1 (41:14):
They get they when when they consider that when they're
hiring you and they they pay you. I mean, I
probably make more than most of the people that started there.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
So I can't really complain that way.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
But but it's a fucked up situation because it's not
just like it's not like if you're if it was
an English only business. Right, and you were talking to
somebody and somebody asked you a question, you could turn
around and answer it at a blink of an eye
without no problem. But when you're speaking English and somebody

(41:48):
asked you a question in Spanish, you have to stop,
hear what they're saying translated into English, figure out what
it is you're going to say backwards, then reverse it
because it's backwards, and then say it to the person.
So it's mental gymnastics all fucking day long. And I

(42:09):
finally went and I sat with my manager. I said, hey, yes,
we need to talk. See what's going on. I closed
the door behind me. I said, look, here's the deal,
I said, I know that there's more than just me
and speak Spanish out there. I told you when you
hired me, I didn't want to be your your go
to Mexican. I didn't. I said, to avoid this kind

(42:32):
of situation, because as soon as you're nice to somebody
about translating, you're gonna get it all I said. And
I said, I was getting pulled from customers a day
to come translate. I said, I'm not that Mexican. Hey, look,
you moved here. You should have learned the language. Sorry,
that's what That's what they said back in the day

(42:52):
as well. Who was it I an hour or whoever
fuck it was whatever president started that ship. Hey, you
wanted them, You're gonna you're gonna move here, You're gonna
learn some shit about the US. You're gonna Yeah, I'm
with you, and you're gonna learn the fucking language. Like
if you were, like, let's say you went to Italy,

(43:13):
you wanna learn a little Italian before you go, Right,
You're not gonna go to some foreign country and expect
them to speak English to you.

Speaker 3 (43:20):
To live, Yeah, yeah, you would at least.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
Yeah, what about go visit You learned to lose something, right, No,
because you're going to fucking visit.

Speaker 4 (43:32):
Yeah, I'm going to visit. I'm gonna be a tourist.
If people speak English. That's it's different when you're dealing
with the real world stuff. If I'm going there to
handle business, then yes, I would learn to speak the language.
But if I'm going there on vacation, I'm going to
places where English is gonna be accepted and you know
we can keep buying mm hmm, all right, I'll give

(43:56):
you that one. But if I'm going to go buy
a car. Well, yeah, I want to learn something, so
I kind of you know.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
Right, And here's the here's the thing, dude, I don't
mind helping Mexicans. You know, I speak Spanish whatever I understand.
But there's people that have been in this country for
fucking years and refuse to learn how to speak English
because they're embarrassed. Fucking white people will talk to you

(44:23):
in taco bell Spanish all day long, all broken and
fucked up.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
I ain't never heard of it for and not care
what he guess.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
They're trying, right, Well, hey, I'm trying, You're to help
you out.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
I'm trying. I'm trying to you know what I mean.
So they're cool with it. But Mexicans, no matter whether
oh no, it's it's gonna sound funny. Well yeah, because
you don't try. Look at them. You know, you're can
have taco bells because she's telling you the world's on fire,
like what do you want?

Speaker 2 (44:58):
So in that aspect, that's a little frustration anyways.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
But let me ask you. Let me see if you
remember this phrase.

Speaker 4 (45:03):
I just thought of it when we were talking about,
you know, speaking Spanish, because you.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
Know, my Spanish. I understand it a lot more than
I speak it.

Speaker 4 (45:12):
So see if you remember when I used to say
this and why I would say it.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
I think I know what you're gonna say.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
If I say at the beginning, you can say the.

Speaker 4 (45:20):
Ending, Yeah you say this stresstress.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Yeah, I remember that ship.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
I know, man, it was dying laughing right now.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
Three.

Speaker 4 (45:36):
I used to when U back in our day when
we were single, I would go check. I would you know,
we'd be looking for girls, and I always be trying
to find three because there was three of us. As
soon as I found three, that was my go to
line right there.

Speaker 1 (45:54):
How often did it work?

Speaker 3 (45:56):
I don't think it ever did.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
It was fun to say, though, ship catch people off guard, like,
oh shit, what.

Speaker 3 (46:06):
Good times? Uh? Speaking of back in the day?

Speaker 4 (46:12):
Uh, can we talk about our cars from back in
the day again?

Speaker 3 (46:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (46:18):
We we could close it out with this one because
I was told this before that I never brought this
up as a as a jab back to you, jabbing me. Okay,
uh your Monte carlo versus my Volkswagon?

Speaker 1 (46:37):
All right, what about it?

Speaker 4 (46:39):
And and uh, you know last week you was you was
getting on me about it.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
You know a little bit.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
It was a it was a white girl.

Speaker 4 (46:48):
And and I was told this time as well as
another time a few months ago when your car got
brought up, and I should say, just like this person
said it. Okay, bro, but your your car was purple.
Don't get it, two tone purple. And and I want

(47:09):
to I want to point this out because you're not
going to bring it up. And a person that was
talking ship didn't. Mine was probably the first one that
had gold trim. Although it was painted, it was gold trim.

Speaker 3 (47:20):
That's not helping. Yeah no, Now, don't get me wrong.

Speaker 4 (47:28):
I appreciated the ride, right, okay, but we wasn't getting
any girls in it.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
Hey look, I know, look, I know that car was embarrassing.
I know that car pion, I know that car pigeonhold us.
There was no way anyways. Oh look at those white
boys pulling up in that purple money Carlos. That's no
way that ship was ever gonna happen. Oh here come

(47:58):
the beaners. Everybody fucking put your wallace away. Cut the Peters.
Yeah no, I know, dude.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
We used to roll that ship downtown Pump. Can't you
remember when it was spring break?

Speaker 1 (48:15):
The white girl would be like, oh ship, hold on,
don't don't look he gonna get raped? Like it was bad. Bro.

Speaker 4 (48:23):
I still remember one time with you and I and
and we rolled up on some girls and we were
trying to holler at them, you know, through the windows,
and you know they even there was a little bit
of banter back and forth, but it was not going anywhere.

Speaker 3 (48:38):
No, and you just shouted at him, is it couse,
my crutch purple? You just say why are you you know,
what's going on? What's up? Why you're not giving us?
You just it was just like bad, Is it couse
my crutch purple? I knew exactly what you were talking about.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
Oh that was so funny, U bro, that you know,
we still had fucking fundings though, Like it was.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
You know what I mean, dude, I wouldn't have changed
it for the world.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
Like that was. That was the best part of Like,
you know, even at that age, we knew where, we
knew where we were, we knew.

Speaker 2 (49:17):
What we what we had, what we was getting into.
Like there was no question about that ship.

Speaker 4 (49:23):
That's why that's why you know it baffles me again
back to kids today. Yeah, if we had a car,
we had a car, it didn't matter if it had
four wheels and got us there. We was in it
and rolling and appreciated it.

Speaker 1 (49:36):
I'm glad you said that ship real quick because it
reminded me of something that happened the day after we
recorded the part that last podcast. So you had mentioned
that you found a beachy cruiser for your daughter, and
she was like, heyll no, so Sebastian's so called replacement. Uh,

(49:59):
he doesn't have car, so I you know when he
first came down there, So are you are you interested
in getting a car like you have cash saved. We
get cars that come in all the time that you know,
we'll probably go straight to auction that are really cheap.
I could probably find you something that I won't put
you in, anything too ugly or too bad or whatever.

(50:20):
And Bro, the next fucking day, the next day after
we talked about it, there was just fucking peat crews
or shitting in the back.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
And that shit was clean as fuck.

Speaker 1 (50:30):
Bro. It looked like it looked like it just rolled
out of grandma's garage. And I think in a Native
American lady had it, because they had the the Native
probably the white lady though it was like a like
a Gypsy's probably lived up in Yucle Valley, probably did
like those sound bowl you know what I mean, to

(50:51):
get your vibrations right and shit. But shit, the leather
on that motherfucker was clean. Bro, it was nice. I
went and I started it ship ran nice. I came home, say, dude,
I said, I know. I mentioned if you were looking
for a car, brew a PT Cruiser rolled in my job.
He said, what a PT Cruiser look like? I said,
he said, he.

Speaker 3 (51:18):
Dog, what's roll with a PT Cruiser? A four door? Dog?

Speaker 1 (51:25):
I think it's because it looks like a cross between
a Volkswagen and like an old Pontiac or an old
like thirties style Chevy.

Speaker 3 (51:43):
Or like, Yeah, they are kind of up.

Speaker 4 (51:44):
I just pulled it up, you know, and I'll be
I'll be straight up with you, like that white one.

Speaker 3 (51:53):
Don't look bad.

Speaker 2 (51:55):
No, I don't look bad at all.

Speaker 3 (51:56):
See.

Speaker 4 (51:56):
But you know, the thing is, I'm thinking of myself
being eighteen years old. You know, a nice fourd or
joint like that rolls up and my parents says, hey,
this is yours.

Speaker 3 (52:08):
I could roll with my friends, ac dog, I don't
have to be.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
Bro. That would have been. That would have been yours.
This would have been my peachy cruiser. It's purple, it's
that what do they call it, aridescent colors. So it's
like that purple blue and pearl. That's kind of fucking funny. Yeah, Bro,
I didn't give a ship back then either. I was like,

(52:36):
fucking car because I don't know, I don't I don't
remember that car having AC And I didn't give a ship.
Oh hell no, roll the motherfucking windows down. I got
two fifty five a sy we talking about put the
windows down, that shit cool down and shoes. You had
fifty five miles an hour? Shit crazy? Mmmm.

Speaker 5 (52:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
These peop when these kids want fucking Tesla, they want
fucking hybrids, it's gonna be good for the environment. We're
killing all the fishes. Man. If that motherfucker starts to
get you from A to B and I ain't got
to get out the couch, that's what.

Speaker 3 (53:12):
You get, is bro.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
His dude.

Speaker 2 (53:16):
One time he came in with his daughter.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
He had come a week before and bought his son
a car, and they bought him a hybrid. And his
daughter came back and she wanted the Mustang Hybrid that
had just come out, and we happen to have one
on the lot. They fucking took it. Bro. I was like, Fuck,

(53:39):
I don't kids still get kids? Bro, Like, it's so
weird because when we first started working, what we were
making an hour, there was no way we could ever
go into a dealership and buy a car.

Speaker 4 (53:53):
You don't think it was relevant, I mean it was. Uh,
I think it was time. I mean because what cars today,
our match are equivalent to what they get paid today,
same as us though.

Speaker 1 (54:06):
Right, But but well, no, I think I think that
there's there's still a big disparity between back then what
we were making and what cars were sold for, or
there's a disparity in the way the lending processes. Because
even if I was making what I was making when
I graduated or first started working, or when I turned eighteen,

(54:27):
there never would have been I wouldn't have been in
the age cap to or in the in the money
range to get alan. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (54:35):
I just think it's more not accepted acceptable, but.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
More accessible.

Speaker 4 (54:45):
No, no, more common for people to have car payments,
dis kind of payment, that kind of payment. Back when
we're growing up, you had a house payment, possibly a
car payment, and that's kind of it.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
Yeah, because if you couldn't afford to buy a cash yeah,
you didn't need it. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (55:06):
But now it's like you got a car payment, you
got a house payment, you got insurance payments, you got
cell phone payment.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
You got you know, your credit cards. It's just out
of control.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
That was our generation then sucked it up, or the
generation right behind us, because they wanted to be where
we were right at a high school, yeah, just getting
a job, so they would bury themselves in debt to
have you know, their house, the cars, the boat, the
house out of the lake and blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
And now they're fucking eyeballs in debt.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
And now now the difference is, you know, these kids
are coming out of school, even kids without a fucking
high school diploma, and they're making millions a year, you
know what I mean, because they know how to build
an app or they had an idea for an app, or.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
Whatever the case may be, and they just.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
Figured it out, bro, and they're making millions and or
even kids that kids are fucking like back in the day,
it was in and out, bro, there were the upper
echelon of going to work in fast food because they
were paying twenty bucks an hour.

Speaker 3 (56:19):
You know what else?

Speaker 1 (56:19):
I think it is?

Speaker 4 (56:20):
Though, money is no longer physical because if you don't
have it, you, if you didn't have it in your pocket,
you were not getting it right now, it's not physical,
it's it's all. It's a car, you know, you swipe
the car. You don't really see it coming in and
out like we did.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
Right, You'd start off with a fat stack on Friday
and then by Monday you had like two or three
bills left to that bitch. But like, hey, we gotta
stow down and look this all we got for week.

Speaker 3 (56:52):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (56:52):
Now it's swiped that card and you don't see it going,
you know, you just hope it's there, right, Yeah, es
is horrible and.

Speaker 2 (57:03):
A lot of people don't don't know how to manage that.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
Like all right, so they go they swiped their card
and they had three hundred dollars, So I'm gonna I'm
gonna buy this one hundred and fifty. Cool, I'm gonna
have one hundred and fifty left. Then go back to
go use their carding. Oh shit, I stiller, I got
three hundred dollars ballance, but cool, nobody something else for
one hundred and fifty. Now they got no money and
they go back to use it and all that money's gone.
They're like, oh wait, wait, what happened?

Speaker 4 (57:26):
Back to my alimal days. I remember trying to explain
to this guy, why why his check, his a check
that he wrote out of his account.

Speaker 1 (57:40):
Bounced because you didn't have the money, sir.

Speaker 3 (57:43):
Because he didn't have the money in it.

Speaker 4 (57:45):
But he's this is like again, this is when ATM
cards first started coming out.

Speaker 3 (57:49):
Yeah, and he went to the ATM.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
Hold on, how old were you when that happened.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
How old was I?

Speaker 6 (57:56):
Yeah, probably like nineteen years old.

Speaker 1 (58:01):
That's how old we were when fucking ATMs first came out.
We were there at the birth of the ATM machine.

Speaker 4 (58:13):
And the ATM machine was a little black screen and
the letters were all green.

Speaker 3 (58:17):
Oh yeah, it wasn't there was no color.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
Would you like to play that game? Professor Falcon like yeah, bro, fuck.

Speaker 4 (58:24):
So I'm explaining to him because he said he had
just went to the at the time too. It was
called a versatail machine. He was at ATM. He had
just went to the versatail machine. He showed me his
receipts that showed let's say, he had two hundred dollars
in there, so he pulled like sixty dollars out of it,
and then he got overdrawn like a day later because

(58:47):
a check that he had wrote like the week before
finally went through and didn't have the funds in it.
So he's like, but it told me I had two
hundred dollars. I said, yeah, but you had this checkout.
He like, but I wrote that check a week ago.
I was like, but they probably didn't cash it yet.

(59:07):
He goes, so, why would the bank tell me I
had two hundred dollars when I don't have two hundred dollars.
I was like, well, you have it, but you wrote
a check against it. But dude, like a record, but
I wrote that check last week.

Speaker 1 (59:20):
But the bank doesn't know what you've written, sir. They
don't have your notes.

Speaker 3 (59:24):
And then I said, don't you keep a little check book.
He's like no, I said, well you should.

Speaker 4 (59:30):
He's like why, He goes, so why do I get
these receipts if it doesn't tell me how much money
I really have? And I'm like, oh, man, I you
know I was trying to I don't think I broke
through Because he thought I was them, you know, us
against them right right, Yo, I ain't got no dog

(59:51):
in this fight. I'm just trying to help you.

Speaker 3 (59:54):
Now.

Speaker 4 (59:55):
You speak good English, you with them.

Speaker 1 (01:00:00):
Yeah, it's it's amazing how when I worked at Opportunity
people didn't People didn't understand that shit either. They would come, well,
what do you mean, I don't have the money? You
know when you when you went like that with your
with your card like that, Yeah, and then you put
in your numbers.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
Yeah, you didn't have any money. There was no left,
no no money left.

Speaker 1 (01:00:25):
I mean, so I'm gonna tell you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
Yeah, but I just put my in the same thing.

Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
Here's my receipt. Yeah, but have you written checks or
were there checks that hadn't cleared yet? What do you
mean cleared? It hasn't come in and they haven't taken
that money out of your account yet, because that pen
that you have is no it's magic when you're writing.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
It's not bullying money out of your account right away,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (01:00:51):
Speaking of money, I learned of something at the beginning
to and I'm sorry it's taken me four months to
get to it. There's a thing that I heard on
a podcast or something about people spending money that they

(01:01:14):
shouldn't be spending and you know, you should be saving
all that kind of blah blah blah, all that stuff, right,
And what they're saying is, don't spend money just because
you have it. Okay, if you got fifty dollars in
your wallet or in your pocket, that doesn't mean you

(01:01:36):
have to spend it. Don't spend it on stupid shit
just because you have the money to be able to
spend it on stupid shit. And they coined it a
phrase and they said, you know, make this a new
Year's resolution. So again, I'm sorry, we're we're in the
second quarter of the year. But they called it no

(01:01:56):
buy twenty twenty five, got a nice little ring to it,
No buy twenty five. So that means, if you're at
the store and you got money in your pocket and
you see something, don't go and buy it just because
you it's there and you.

Speaker 3 (01:02:15):
Have the money.

Speaker 2 (01:02:16):
Is it a want or is it a need?

Speaker 4 (01:02:18):
Yes, because we all buy stuff on a whim.

Speaker 3 (01:02:23):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:02:24):
It's like they were saying, people buy stuff if they
if they're checking account starting to get too big, they
feel like they could spend it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:38):
I have developed.

Speaker 4 (01:02:39):
A a process if you will that like Amazon for example, Okay,
I will put something in a cart, but I won't
check out. I wait till that car kind of builds
up and just buy it all at once, and buy
it all at once.

Speaker 3 (01:02:56):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:02:57):
But with that being said, when I go make that buy,
when i'm that purchase, I look at each item and
then I tell myself, do I really do I still
really want this?

Speaker 3 (01:03:06):
Do I still really need this? And dude.

Speaker 4 (01:03:11):
Of the time, yeah, that was just I was on
something at that day and I'm you know, and I
put it and I just take it off the list.

Speaker 1 (01:03:19):
The only problem with doing that sometimes is that you
missed the Amazon Prime prices.

Speaker 4 (01:03:29):
I mean, my god, all right, buy it because it's
on sale. Yeah, come on, bro, but you might not
need it. Have you bought something in the last six months?

Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
Look, there was these pencils, mechanical pencils.

Speaker 3 (01:03:45):
To mean, what's a mechanical pencil?

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
Look?

Speaker 2 (01:03:46):
You know, then you push it will come out.

Speaker 3 (01:03:49):
Okay, yeah, yeah, but they.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
Were they were drafting engineering pencils. But they also had
colored lead. So I know you laugh at me for it,
but whatever, I like to color, and I color when
I when I'm like, if the day's two, instead of
drinking or better, I'll grab a coloring book and I'll
just color out whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
I don't always finish the picture.

Speaker 4 (01:04:11):
Wait a minute, you've being serious? Yeah, yeah, you color
and coloring books?

Speaker 1 (01:04:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
Sometimes I do it in markers. Sometimes it's in crayons.

Speaker 3 (01:04:22):
Where do you books from?

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
Uh? Sometimes I buy them, like through Amazon?

Speaker 3 (01:04:28):
Are you being serious?

Speaker 1 (01:04:29):
Yeah? I have some that are like I'm gonna say this,
and it's not what it sounds like, but I have
adult coloring books. So it's not all fucking it's not
all fucking flesh tones. That's not what it is. But
you know, it'll say like, uh, fuck you and the
horse you rode in on just to kind of, you know,
color it in. There's something about it. It's it's just

(01:04:49):
fucking relaxing and let your mind just kind of leave
just while you're coloring and shading and like it's not
just coloring it and making all one color, Like like
I shade the color so it's darker here, lighter there,
give it that element of light and what not.

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
But that that helps me kind of just cool off.

Speaker 4 (01:05:11):
So you give me a hard time because in the
middle of the night, I sit down to pee so
I don't have to make a mask, so I don't
have to turn on the light, so I go back
to sleep. You come down on me for that, which
every adult can say makes total sense, even you have
admitted to it, just because you still don't want to

(01:05:32):
do it right.

Speaker 3 (01:05:34):
But yet you color in coloring books.

Speaker 1 (01:05:36):
Yes, because coloring and color books might make me childish,
but sitting to make sure a woman, so you know
there's that.

Speaker 3 (01:05:50):
So okay, so you bought some you WoT some colored pencils.

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
They were like they were like I think they were
like thirty five bucks onally, and they were on sale
for eight bucks.

Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
It costs me more to ship them than the purchase of.

Speaker 4 (01:06:11):
Okay, but you know, I mean, I still wouldn't have
bought these days. But it's something you would use, right,
I get that. But this is more leaning towards more
You just on a whim saw it and be like, oh,
I got money, I can go buy this. It's like you,
you know, try to for twenty for the rest of
twenty twenty five. Don't buy that thing just because you

(01:06:32):
got money in your pocket, because.

Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
You might not really need it.

Speaker 4 (01:06:36):
You just bind it on impulse, sit back, you know,
and hey, wait a week, give yourself a week a
cool down period if you will.

Speaker 1 (01:06:46):
I mean, I can put together a return box or
some things that I've got that I haven't opened yet.

Speaker 3 (01:06:50):
How long have you had them for?

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
Probably at the beginning of February. But there's like times
where like I know I need shit or that I'm
gonna need it, so I'm looking through and or I'll
come across it for some reason and it's and it's inexpensive,
so I'll buy it that way.

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
He went, Oh, fuck, no, I can't wait anymore. I
need it. I haven't you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (01:07:18):
But how long would you say was the longest between
you bought it because you knew you were gonna need
it by.

Speaker 1 (01:07:25):
A year and a half. Let's just say that I
bought it and by the time I went to go
use it, it was it was brittle and I couldn't
use it anymore. So you know what's funny is my
dad used to do that shit. Like he'd go to
the store, and you know, he never really had a

(01:07:47):
lot of money, but he'd buy a ship that he
needed or he knew he was gonna need and if
it was on sale, like he'd go to Walmart, and
my mom would walk around the whole store and he'd
go to like, you know, like the plumbing department and
all the little departments there, and he'd buy the little
shit that he would need, random things that you know,
some people wouldn't be like, oh, I'll just get it

(01:08:07):
when I need it, but he'd find it when it
was on sale, and he'd buy two or three of them,
and then, you know, throughout the year, my nephews or
my brothers, Hey, dad, do you have this couple of us?
Were you at the store with me the other day?
I just got one of those? Let me go look,
yeah I have one? He could I borrow it? I

(01:08:27):
could borrow you know you're not gonna give it back,
Come get it. And he would always supply whatever whatever
everybody needed. He always had it. Instead of calling the
fucking store if I hate do you have one of
these in stock? They'd call my dad, Hey do you
have one of these? Let me check? Yeah, I have it?
He could I borrow it? Yeah, come get it, and

(01:08:50):
then he'd complain for two days. I don't know. That's
the only time they called me when they want shit,
they know I have it, well, then stop buying shit?

Speaker 3 (01:08:57):
At one point? Does that border onto being a horse?

Speaker 1 (01:09:00):
Here? Oh there were there were horders?

Speaker 3 (01:09:03):
Daddy? Are you?

Speaker 1 (01:09:05):
I mean?

Speaker 4 (01:09:05):
I am to an extent, to an extend too. I'm
trying to get better. My wife's making me better, but
I am.

Speaker 2 (01:09:11):
To wear like I don't know what I should say
or what I.

Speaker 3 (01:09:13):
Shouldn't exactly, you know what I mean? Yeah, Like.

Speaker 1 (01:09:19):
Most of my shoes have boxes, first of all, which
I think is okay.

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
But there's like some of the electronics that I've bought,
I still.

Speaker 1 (01:09:27):
Have the boxes. I don't know what the fuck for.

Speaker 3 (01:09:30):
Yeah, I did I steal might have some iPhone boxes?

Speaker 1 (01:09:33):
Yeah, those are the fucking worst, bro. And then I
have I have letters that I opened them and I've
never looked at them again, but I still have them.
Why what the fuck do we need that shit? For
my dad?

Speaker 2 (01:09:47):
When my dad passed.

Speaker 1 (01:09:48):
Away, my sister just finished going through his boxes. She said,
I had two big bags of shredding to take down
to that place where you can take it to they
do the shredding for you. She said he had receipts
in there starting back at like nineteen fifty two damn, Like,

(01:10:12):
what the fuck did he need those receipts? He didn't,
but he had him. I was like, fuck. He said, yeah,
he had every receipt for like and he'd have the
receipt in the envelope with whatever the bill was. And
unlike when he would get his bills at home, he
right paid on the outside the check number and the

(01:10:33):
date he paid it, and he'd wrap it up with
November or with that year's stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:10:39):
Well, that's what that's what I do for business stuff.
I should say, that's what I used to do. I'm
trying to go paperless.

Speaker 3 (01:10:46):
At the moment. Yeah, yeah, I'm trying him doing pretty
good attitude.

Speaker 1 (01:10:51):
Actually, you should get you a little a little thumb driver,
a extra hard drive and put on put on there,
like make a folder that says bills and then you know, Edison, whatever, whatever, whatever,

(01:11:12):
and then inside those.

Speaker 3 (01:11:15):
That's a pretty good idea.

Speaker 1 (01:11:16):
And that way, inside each one of those you could
put that bill for that year.

Speaker 4 (01:11:20):
Well, I mean for utilities, if you know what you're saying,
I don't. I just got it when I make a payment,
you know, I just check a day or two later,
make sure it's there.

Speaker 3 (01:11:29):
It was accepted, and you know, Dan's gone forgotten.

Speaker 4 (01:11:33):
But as far as business stuff, yeah, I probably should
do something like that, you know, the month of April,
every invoice that I'm getting electronically now instead of a
paper invoice, I could just sit put it in there
just in case I ever have to refer back to it.

Speaker 3 (01:11:51):
Yeah, it's not bad.

Speaker 2 (01:11:55):
I'm good like that sometimes sometimes.

Speaker 4 (01:11:57):
But also but however, the the vendors I'm getting them from,
also I go back and check it out right, you
know what I'm saying, because they they are also keeping
it right electronically.

Speaker 1 (01:12:13):
So that would you would you still put that in
the month or would you put that under a vendors
list and put months in the vendors list.

Speaker 4 (01:12:22):
I would still have to do it by the month,
because what if I bought it from this vendor not
that vendor, you know, but I know I bought it
in June, So I'd rather just go to the month.

Speaker 1 (01:12:33):
And got you got you opening. Yeah, that's all.

Speaker 2 (01:12:40):
Very much so, but it's good though.

Speaker 1 (01:12:41):
You like you got you got your own little kind
of system going on with it, so that'll help. Like
for the for the house builds, I just when they
come in through the email. As soon as I get it,
I pay it and I get the confirmation. I just
move the confirmation over to house build receipts, utilities, whatever

(01:13:02):
I decided to put it under. It'll be like utilities
twenty twenty five.

Speaker 3 (01:13:08):
So he's twenty Well, what do you saying utilities for?

Speaker 2 (01:13:14):
Because I don't like ID.

Speaker 3 (01:13:16):
They're better than see.

Speaker 2 (01:13:18):
Well what I what.

Speaker 1 (01:13:19):
I ain't no doubt about that, but they're The way
they bill is strange, so they would always like I
always felt like I was a month behind, and they
would always charge me like I was a month behind,
Like I'd pay and two days later, Hey, we're gonna
shut your shirt off. Wait, why I just fucking paid?
Yeah you paid last month? Oh fuck yeah, I guess

(01:13:40):
I did. Okay, and I'm ahead and pay that for
with you now. And i'd pay it so but I
but I'd keep them so that someday, when I got
pissed off enough, I can go back and look like now, motherfuckers. Look,
So there's that. Did did you get a you have
gas right the gas? Did you get a credit on

(01:14:02):
your Well, you always do because you pay it way
in advance, but did you get a government credit?

Speaker 3 (01:14:06):
I saw climate think of a jake.

Speaker 1 (01:14:09):
Yeah too.

Speaker 2 (01:14:12):
Wine was like almost ninety bucks.

Speaker 3 (01:14:14):
I don't think mine was that much.

Speaker 1 (01:14:15):
I'm like, right on, Yeah, it was really weird. There
was a couple of months where my gas bill was
really high. I don't know why I wasn't well, Probably
because I used the heater a little bit more than
just at night when it was fucking tits cold, you
know what I'm saying. Yeah, but yeah, dude, you know
you talk to me about Milo.

Speaker 2 (01:14:38):
We had so the original fan that he had in
his room when the.

Speaker 1 (01:14:43):
Lights when when I bought the house had died, so
we fucking uh right, we'll get another hoe and put
it up.

Speaker 2 (01:14:53):
So he went to the store and bought one. But
he bought one with this the top.

Speaker 1 (01:14:58):
You know. I called it a cup or like a
like a bowl almost where it connects to the sets
up against the roof tie all the wires right. Well,
the cup was so small that they couldn't get all
the wires in there. And Sebastian was and Milo was
helping me, but it was more Sebastian. It was Milo.

(01:15:20):
And sometimes Sebastian thinks differently than I speak. I feel
like when I give directions. I'm very, very systematic, and
the way he understood it or regurgitated it back to
me sounded backwards or wrong, and I, you know, try

(01:15:44):
to take a deep breather, figure out what the fuck
he's saying. And I think we're saying the same thing,
but this is no, we're saying something different. Look. So
then i'd you know, i'd get hot and whatever what not.
But anyways, something something wasn't uh uh in the cup right.
And when we fucking flipped the switch and he turned

(01:16:04):
it on, there was a pop.

Speaker 3 (01:16:07):
Hmmm, that's not good.

Speaker 1 (01:16:08):
No, so it burnt the fan out. The light worked,
but the fan didn't work. Like, all right, we'll get
you another fan. I'll buy it. Let me go get it.
So I found one where the tube or the base
of it was big so that the wires will fit
in there and shouldn't have any problems.

Speaker 2 (01:16:27):
We'll pull all apart. We'll pull the wires down so
we can see them. We'll go from there.

Speaker 1 (01:16:33):
I told my lad, I said, mind, I'm gonna help
you do this, but I need one, just one thing
from you.

Speaker 2 (01:16:38):
So what you need to put your fucking phone down?
I said.

Speaker 1 (01:16:42):
During this whole process, I don't want to see that
fucking phone in your end unless you need a light.
Can you do that? Yeah? Cool, because I have to
do it at night. When I get home, it'll be
too early. And the problem is that by the time
I get home, I don't have the strength in my
leg really just to get up and stand on a

(01:17:05):
step stool or ladder. It's hard for me to balance
because I don't have the I have the strength in
my leg, I just can't feel it. So I'm a
little wobbly. And uh so he was. He was doing it,
and there was one he was no, no, no, you're doing

(01:17:25):
it wrong. Hold on, listen to what I'm telling you,
and I'm telling him to do it a certain way. No,
you go watch move, I said, you need to come
stand in front of me. Okay. So I stood in
front of him and I you kind of put my
hand on his shoulder. Just steady myself to get up.
I said, go stand behind me and put your hand
on my back. I said, because if I look up
right now, I said, I'm just gonna fall backwards because

(01:17:47):
my equilibriums off. Okay, So he went and he stood
and did it. I said, okay, so I pulled the
wires all down, separated them all. I said, okay, so
I'm gonna get down now, and I was able to
tell them, okay, this goes with this, this goes with that,
this with this, wrap it up with this, make sure
it's nice and tight, and put it in in that
cup when we're done. So him and him and his

(01:18:10):
boy Chili were Milo did most of the work.

Speaker 2 (01:18:13):
Chili helped holding shit up, but he put his own.

Speaker 1 (01:18:16):
He put his own ceiling fan in yesterday and followed
directions really well like he was. I think I only
semi snapped at him once. I didn't get ugly, I
didn't say anything nasty. I didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:18:34):
Only snapped at him once.

Speaker 4 (01:18:34):
A pretty proud of myself and ands wbble no.

Speaker 1 (01:18:39):
Because it's right up against the ceiling, so it's good.
But again because I let him do all the the light,
the light doesn't work all the time. But there's three
wires that had to be wrapped together too and tighten.
I don't know if he was able to get those
together the right way, close enough by hand then then

(01:19:03):
to put the nut on there for all to catch.
So there's times where it works and times where it doesn't,
so I have to pull it apart and do that.

Speaker 3 (01:19:12):
And why are you telling him that he can't use
his phone.

Speaker 1 (01:19:15):
Because he doesn't put it down, and it's hard to
put it down, to be like this trying to fucking
screw her drill.

Speaker 3 (01:19:22):
So he's always he's saying, he's always on his phone.

Speaker 1 (01:19:24):
Yeah, he's always on it, like it's in his face
all the time. You'll talk to him.

Speaker 2 (01:19:29):
And hold on no, no, no no, and then going
to do you know, going to do his ship.

Speaker 1 (01:19:36):
I'm like, hey, look, I need I need you to
focus because we're not burning this van. You need to
focus on what's going on when we get it up
there and it works and it works the first time, Okay,
cool dad, I got it all right, But it didn't
work but close enough, better than better than last time.
A problem that he was able to do it by himself,

(01:19:56):
like he was sit, do what if I did it
like this? Anyway, that's a good idea. I do it
like that. If you're work up, wile, do it like that.
I do it like that. But you know, it was
getting frustrated because you know, when you use a when
you use a drill, your the bit has to be straight.

(01:20:18):
And when it's not, that's when you get the and
and you fucking bore out the whole of your screw right,
and he was doing it. Stop hold on, I said, look,
put your put your put the drill back up there.
I said, you see how you have the dill drill
towards your face. Yeah, I said, so your drill bit

(01:20:38):
is going in at an angle. Put the drill a
little further away from your face. Okay, right there, now
the shaft is straight. Put it in the hole and
drill it. And then I got to wait for him
to exactly. I gotta wait for him to start giggling,
because I said, shaft, put it in the hole, right,
and then put it in the hole.

Speaker 2 (01:20:58):
Just put some fucking hair around it. Put that ship
in there, hair around me.

Speaker 1 (01:21:02):
Why would it not? Fuck I forgot you guys know,
fucking Jesus crime. I think that's coming back. By the way,
was that Harry who has That's what I heard. I
don't know that.

Speaker 2 (01:21:21):
Kids are into the Harry Hulo nowadays supposed to.

Speaker 4 (01:21:25):
Really getting to have some nice conversations on Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:21:29):
You know, we were doing it because we loved America,
and America had bald eagles and bald eagles were, you know,
a trade of being American. Now they were, you know,
they wanted to have a fucking mullet and ship. You know,
go with down roast beef, curtains and ship. You know.

Speaker 4 (01:21:48):
Remember a few months ago, I went to to dinner
for my sister in law's sixtieth birthday, a big birthday,
and we went to a restaurant that had a club
next door attached to it.

Speaker 3 (01:22:02):
Lucy.

Speaker 1 (01:22:02):
Yeah, I saw Lucy the day after that, I think,
did you she came into my work?

Speaker 3 (01:22:07):
Oh well, it was right around that same time.

Speaker 1 (01:22:10):
Right now.

Speaker 4 (01:22:11):
If you remember, I said, we closed the place down
right right because it closed that like eleven.

Speaker 3 (01:22:18):
But it was off the hook, kid, because I ain't
closed the club and you know, or a bar.

Speaker 4 (01:22:22):
You felt good, dude and able to get home still
get a good night's sleep. I mean, don't get me wrong.
Elevin was pushing it, but still it's like, yo, I.

Speaker 1 (01:22:32):
Could do this, right, that's fucking funny.

Speaker 4 (01:22:35):
Well, they got clubs opening up called early bird clubs, kid,
really full blown club.

Speaker 3 (01:22:44):
Six to eleven.

Speaker 4 (01:22:47):
It started in Chicago and became it became popular, and
now it's starting to spread, they're going to la stuff
like that.

Speaker 3 (01:22:57):
Dog sixty.

Speaker 4 (01:22:59):
Could you imagine going to a club at six o'clock
partying and closing it down.

Speaker 3 (01:23:06):
At eleven, so you still be able to get home at.

Speaker 4 (01:23:08):
A decent hour, bro, That would Death's nice, kid, straight
up nice. I mean, even if you still want to party,
you can still go home with you, with the people
you're with, and have drinks.

Speaker 1 (01:23:23):
At the crib and be able to go a little
bit longer.

Speaker 4 (01:23:27):
Because Doug, you cannot tell me if you staying out late,
whatever that time is. You cannot tell me you at
one point, don't sit there and say, fuck, what time
is it?

Speaker 2 (01:23:38):
Man?

Speaker 4 (01:23:38):
I could be home right now, but you still continue
on because you right, But yet you're still like, yo,
it's it's kind of late.

Speaker 3 (01:23:45):
Lets you know, I could wrap.

Speaker 1 (01:23:46):
This up.

Speaker 2 (01:23:50):
All right, all right, one more shot, one more.

Speaker 3 (01:23:52):
Shot, dog, six to eleven.

Speaker 1 (01:23:56):
That idea that might not be that bad.

Speaker 4 (01:23:58):
I mean, let's just say you go there, as you know,
and it's jumping off, but you don't start drinking till like.

Speaker 6 (01:24:04):
Eight two hours is plenty of time to get sucked up.
He's exactly you know what I'm saying. You're feeling this
place out.

Speaker 2 (01:24:17):
No one girl who's been playing with her fake teeth
all night. We getting at you.

Speaker 1 (01:24:22):
Show.

Speaker 4 (01:24:23):
But I mean, don't get me wrong, that that spot
that we closed out with my sister in law's birthday.

Speaker 2 (01:24:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:24:28):
If the crowd, as I mentioned, was probably a decade
older than us. Oh shit, So the music reflected it.

Speaker 2 (01:24:38):
Frank Sinatra not that bad.

Speaker 4 (01:24:40):
It was more like seventies stuff, you know, some eighties,
which is cool. I mean, but imagine if it was
my generation, Like when I went to that Stevie B concert.

Speaker 3 (01:24:52):
Yo, I had a blast.

Speaker 4 (01:24:56):
I can go to a club from six to eleven,
take my ol lady out.

Speaker 1 (01:25:01):
And here every Stevie B joint ever made, and Treneer
and Connie and hell.

Speaker 4 (01:25:10):
Yes wrong, that's I'm gonna telling you. If that ship
happened around here, I think I'd be going out.

Speaker 1 (01:25:18):
Yeah, we're gonna start one. Fuck it.

Speaker 4 (01:25:23):
Well, yeah they do that at the casino now, oh
really yeah, I mean they started working, but it's a
different vibe, right.

Speaker 3 (01:25:30):
Dog. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:25:33):
I saw that news story. I was like, yeah, my
old lady pointed it. I was like, yeah, that's that's
that could be done.

Speaker 1 (01:25:40):
Shit, dude, call it the early bird and the fucking
the theme song of that bitch would be jungle Love.

Speaker 2 (01:25:51):
Cook that ship up.

Speaker 3 (01:25:55):
That would be nice. That'd be real nice.

Speaker 2 (01:25:59):
What's that can? Do you remember on Power? What was
that the the DJ's name?

Speaker 3 (01:26:08):
I remember a Robert Soto.

Speaker 2 (01:26:12):
I mean, so.

Speaker 1 (01:26:20):
We're gonna bring DJ Michael Wright out of retirement. It'll
be at that that what I'm saying. Yeah, he'll be
a fucking sponsored by fucking Anthony Shane's Records now with
two locations. Fuck yeah, bro, it'd be crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:26:37):
Anthony Shane's Records and tapes kid.

Speaker 1 (01:26:40):
Right, they were the first ones that have those listening
centers right where you would go in.

Speaker 3 (01:26:45):
Because I think they did. No. I think it was
a record Ally, was it? No? Yeah, it was because
record Ally was down tom Pa Springs.

Speaker 2 (01:26:55):
I don't think I ever went to the one.

Speaker 3 (01:26:56):
I went to that one.

Speaker 1 (01:26:57):
And then they had where you could make your own
day had the one where you can make your own mixtape,
right Anthony Shane's.

Speaker 3 (01:27:03):
Dad, I don't remember. No, I don't think it would
make those kiosks.

Speaker 4 (01:27:08):
Yeah, I don't think they were out that soon because
they were popular when I was like early twenties, there
was a spot over here. I don't know if you
were still living out here. It's called disc go Round,
Disc go round, right.

Speaker 1 (01:27:25):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:27:25):
Yeah, they bought and soul CDs, but they had one
of those kiosks you could make cassettes with all it
took like two three weeks before you got it.

Speaker 3 (01:27:33):
Really, yeah, that was off the hook.

Speaker 1 (01:27:37):
That's why you take a long time and download shit
off of LimeWire, napster.

Speaker 4 (01:27:45):
I would go to bed, I would like try, I
would like put fifty songs on the list to download
and go to bed and wake up in the morning
with my fingers crossed.

Speaker 3 (01:27:55):
At least got three of them. Yeah, fucking crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:28:00):
Actually used to be so slow, take forever to see
a tip. That's funny, ship, Yeah, because they would do
like now you could download a whole movie with no problem. Yeah,
right back then they would do it, and what was
it torrents, And that's what it was called, so like, uh,

(01:28:20):
their torrents were like basically little clips of movies and
they would they would let you download them in sequence
so that when it was done, you could play it
all in one at one time and it's the full movie.
But what was cool with LimeWire and whatever, there was
one after it. They would do multiple sources at the

(01:28:43):
same time, so like if you had if you had
cable or high speed internet, it would download from from
different places. And then there was there was times where
somebody would put in like some sort of viral in
one of the torrents and you were done. You watch

(01:29:04):
about three quarters of movies, and then your computer would
have like the blue screen of death and you're like mother.

Speaker 3 (01:29:10):
The one that came after LimeWire was frost Wire.

Speaker 4 (01:29:13):
Oh yeah, I remember downloading stuff and it would just
stop and somebody had told me the person who had
put it up turned off their computer.

Speaker 1 (01:29:24):
Yes, yeah, that's too Yeah, yeah, I used to. Uh well,
I lived in Bakersfield. Fuck so I lived with my
wife and the boys at the time, and I think
it was just Sebastian.

Speaker 2 (01:29:41):
We didn't have Milo yet or Milo was freshly born.

Speaker 1 (01:29:45):
And the promotions director was also the manager of the apartments,
so he lived here and we lived right next to him.
So part of what they would get for doing the
apartment was free internet.

Speaker 3 (01:30:02):
Oh wow, that's a big deal back there.

Speaker 1 (01:30:05):
That's fucking dope. I said. He let me ask you
a question. How about I give you twenty bucks a
month towards your internet and I'll tap into that shit.
So we just got to run a wire from here
to there. I'll buy the wire. Well, I come on, man,

(01:30:26):
it's cool. We just we'll paint the wire in the
same colors abilding that way nobody sees it. All right,
that's cool. So we ran a fucking cat five cable
from my computer out out the side, out on the balcony,
down the back wall of his apartment, down the side

(01:30:49):
to enter where all the wires did for his phone
and cable.

Speaker 2 (01:30:55):
So this guy comes out with a fucking uh ladder.

Speaker 1 (01:31:01):
And a drill. He said, I'm gonna I'm gonna drow
the hole that way we can put the cat fighting
cable in. All right, cool, it's a good idea because
I'm gonna he said, I can't get it in with
the other wires. That's going to school. So this motherfucker
puts the drill right on the other wires instead of
just to the right of them, so he could drill

(01:31:21):
another hole. Say what are you doing? He said, yeah,
I'm just gonna drill where these are at that way
I can I don't have to drill another hole. And
it doesn't look big and bad. I don't think that's
a good idea. A watch, I got it. That motherfucker
put that tip of that drill out of that shit

(01:31:42):
pull the trigger.

Speaker 2 (01:31:44):
Oh way, he's standing there screaming.

Speaker 1 (01:31:45):
Bro, He's got the wire all wrapped up on the
drill halfway up his arm and his arms turning purple
and shit. I was like, I told you, I told
you so. I'm sorry, but I told you. I said,
but it's gonna start rating. To get that shirt off
your armor. Droe the hole. So he did. He finally
unwind the unwind all the wire off his arm, droll

(01:32:08):
the hole right next to it, put my wire in.
And then he had to take all of his wires
and kind of bunch them up and put them back
to the hole. And then we had to rewire them
once they were in the house. So luckily he had
another or they were all yeah, the little coupling told

(01:32:29):
us what colors of wires needed to be, or else
he would have had to have waited for you know,
AT and T or whatever to come out and rewire
his ship. So then I tapped into his I plugged
into his computer. So the only way for me to
get internet was his computer had to be on.

Speaker 3 (01:32:48):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:32:49):
Well then, I'd always loved my mind was always running right,
so I had to go to get on it, and
it was on fucking internet. God damn it. I knock
on his wall, which is next to where the computer was,
which was their bedroom.

Speaker 2 (01:33:05):
And there was no answer. So I call him a
you home, Why is he internet off?

Speaker 1 (01:33:12):
I'm paying for that shit? Maybe my internet work. I
was so wrong, dude, he turned on him on. The
fucking internet was fast. It's good.

Speaker 3 (01:33:20):
It's amazing.

Speaker 4 (01:33:21):
How you know technology, We don't even think about these
things anymore. When I was a teenager, I wanted a
phone in my room and the process to get that
done was an all day thing because I had to
make an appointment with the telephone company wait for that

(01:33:42):
day to come. My man comes in the morning. He
had to climb up the telephone pole, tap into the wiring,
bring a new wire from that went directly into my room.

Speaker 3 (01:33:55):
It was such an ordeal.

Speaker 4 (01:33:57):
I mean it took a few hours, right, and you
know now, it's like, you don't even think about ship
like that.

Speaker 1 (01:34:04):
Yeah, I want to set a second line in my room. Okay,
it's an answer wait, what anybody come to my house? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:34:12):
Do you remember when when the double line first came
on on board?

Speaker 1 (01:34:17):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:34:17):
Yeah, when you know you did that?

Speaker 4 (01:34:18):
Dude, I got somebody else call the hold line second
and you click your phone.

Speaker 1 (01:34:23):
Yeah, but you remember bit is trying to called girls
trying to get you called up?

Speaker 2 (01:34:28):
What you mean, because they would. They would.

Speaker 1 (01:34:29):
She would call her friend and be like, all right,
so I'm gonna put you on hold.

Speaker 2 (01:34:35):
I'm gonna call him.

Speaker 1 (01:34:36):
I'm gonna click back before he gets on, and you
just sit there quiet until I get the answers and
be like hey, yeah, hey, so do you know so
and so? Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:34:45):
When what was that called feature called? Was it double
double double call or some ship where you could have
two people.

Speaker 1 (01:34:54):
On the line.

Speaker 3 (01:34:56):
Yeah, I remember that, not call waiting, because I was
on call waits.

Speaker 4 (01:35:02):
When somebody That's what I was referring to when somebody
would call you click over. Yeah, I kind of do
remember that. Nobody ever tried to get me caught up,
But yeah, I remember that.

Speaker 1 (01:35:12):
I feel like they were there, you go, always trying
to get I felt like I was always trying to
get caught up.

Speaker 4 (01:35:19):
But you could tell if it was a third call
because the people would sound low.

Speaker 3 (01:35:24):
Oh yeah, I remember that. Yeah, yeah, they would sound
lower than normal volume.

Speaker 1 (01:35:28):
Were you ever on the phone and you hear that
click click click, and then like a little static. Oh somebody,
they're tapping your phone. The fuck's tapping my phone? What
am I doing that? They're tapping my phone? You're fucking crazy.
They're tapping your phone, dumbass. The ship that we believed in.

(01:35:50):
I know that we're running a little short, but I
gotta get shit done so that I can get going
leaving for Utah. Give any birthdays or anything.

Speaker 3 (01:36:01):
That you need to share. We kind of did it
last week. I did a lot for the mind. But
for this coming week, what's today's day? To third again?

Speaker 4 (01:36:18):
Mojo turns fifty four on the sixth, my niece's baby
daddy Jesse, big four zero on the seventh, and Robert's
granddaughter Ania turns nine on the eleventh.

Speaker 3 (01:36:38):
So happy birthday, you guys. I got with Phil, my
brother in love, Philka.

Speaker 1 (01:36:43):
I got one for a girl that used to work
for us. My boy just reminded me birthdays April seventh,
so I would go to see happy birthday, Happy birthday.
So I'll be gone till next week, and then we'll
have to figure out doing it when I get back

(01:37:03):
because the rest of that I gotta work like six
days in a row again when I come back to
just even out.

Speaker 2 (01:37:08):
But I'll try to make it work, you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:37:11):

Speaker 1 (01:37:16):
