Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, everybody, welcome back to the side show.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
My name is Mingo is Tony dude, Like we're like
the once a month showdown. The fuck is going on?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
I can't believe it's been three weeks actually.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
And what's funny is it?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Well, it kind of flew by until like the end
of last week, and then I was like, oh shit,
wait a minute, it's been a minute.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
And last week was my bad too, I mean my dog.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Well, there's just been a lot of things that kind
of just life just happened, like you had, like you know,
life's been kind of throwing you curveballs and on top
of your all your vacations.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Yeah, we could talk about that. But last week.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
I had to dump some money again on this damp
and I shouldn't say, damn dog. She's a member of
our family.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
How long have you had this dog?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
She's like seven years old now, so that means she's
like forty forty nine.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Okay, so let's just let's stick with the seven year number.
You've had another surgery with this dog? Correct, earlier like
two years ago? Three years ago? Yes, and that was
a couple of grand right.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
You know that one was more expensive. It was yes, okay,
reason because well it was more expensive than this one
I did last week, okay, like almost double if I
remember right.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
And which one was more of a life saving event?
The first one or.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
This one more of a life saving?
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yeah, well they weren't necessarily life saving, but this one was.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
More savings depleting.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Maybe that's maybe maybe that's the right word I'm looking for, because.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Making sense to me.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
But this one was was more severe, I'll say, okay,
because it was affecting our home.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Okay, she had this big not on her back.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
It was a fatty tissue, fatty cist I guess wasn't
hurting her.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
So like humans get those two and and they grow
and it usually takes a long time for them to
get big enough for you to be like god, damn,
maybe we should do something about it.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
It was get it got to that point, so like
a month ago.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
How long has has Peanut been dealing with this?
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Probably I'll guesstimate a year or a little longer.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Okay, she she had this fatty it started off the
size of a marble hump on her back. Uh, you know,
no big deal. Almost looked like somebody shot her with
a BB gun. And a BB just was right on
those gun.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So did you go to the doctor then, and and
and ask, okay, is there a way to change that?
Because obviously, you know, it was a it was a
fatty tissue and a lot of times they or what
they call a fat sack, and it stores fat differently
than other parts of your body, and it's almost like
a balloon under the skin that stores fat. So did
(03:16):
you go to a doctor and they said, hey, well
you could do this this and changes change peanut's diet
like this.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
When it when it first happened, Yeah, no, okay?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Uh what did she go for the vet to the
vent for recently or I should say a couple of
months ago?
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I think maybe her ears were messing with her okay?
Was that it?
Speaker 4 (03:38):
I think it was she was having problems with her ears,
like constantly shaking, you know, her head, like scratching her
ears all the time.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Was it like yeast infections that I have?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
No, I don't remember what it was, okay, but we
were going to this vet in Palm Springs, which is
mistake number one.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
The zip code.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Woy's from expensive.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Yes, okay, And it was a you know, it was
one of those what are it VCA hospitals, dog you know,
veterinary hospitals. Okay, so it was, you know, but again,
we just did it to get her shots.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
And what did you want to go to, like a
fucking grandma does it in her garage?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Was not really certified.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Okay. Well, the first time she had these cysts which.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Was growing on the side of her leg, it almost
looked like brain matter was coming out, like it was bubbly,
you know, and it was like on the side of
her leg, and it got nasty and she had cut
it open, so it started bleeding.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
So we took her in and that was like.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Your dog, your dog head leg hamboids.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
That's exactly what it looked like. But this one didn't
look like that. This one was just straight up like
a ball growing under underneath her skin. So when it
got to the size of let's say, a golf ball,
God damn that big. Yeah, that's when we took her
in for her ears. Oh and allow me to bypass something.
(05:07):
We changed vets. Somebody had a friend of my wife's
had told us about a VET in Indio. So it's
a little bit of a drive. But when you said
grandma working out of her house. Well, this vet it's
like a building on the side of his house. So
you know what I'm saying, it's straight legit. I'm talking files.
(05:30):
I'm talking He's got eight people working vet text, got
a front desk.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
It's all. It's all fucking wallpaper.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
But dude, I mean people are waiting in front of
his yard. He's got benches. You know, he's got little
tins of water for dogs to drink out of.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Look like a fucking dog parking. That's right here exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
So we went to him, had you know, the stuff
her ears. You know, he looked at it. I don't
remember exactly what did which I did.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Gave us medication the whole nine. Maybe it was something
with her legs. Fuck, I don't remember. Now she takes
joint medicine on you know regular.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Damn did she get blood drawn for iron two?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Damn? What did she we have done? I don't even remember.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
But anyways, on old On, So a couple of years ago,
so she was if she sold maybe.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
She was four or I'd say five or six.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Okay, even then, that's what the thirty five.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Thirty five years old? Yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
At thirty five, you spent money to fix whatever the
issue was. And then she got herpies on a leg
and you hadn't have that fixed. How much was the
herbies on a leg?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
That one was like fifteen hundred if I remember, Corregty.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
You cut out say then again it sounded like you.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
On her leg.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah, that was like fifteen hundred if I remember correct.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And it was just one leg. Yeah, did they remove
the leg?
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Well, you know, they put her out, they put her
under for you know, you got to pay for all
that stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Okay, and then so and then the ear problem. How
much was the ear problem?
Speaker 4 (07:24):
That was a few hundred bucks. And if it was
the ear, for some reason, I'm thinking it was her
legs too. I just texted the wife and kids. Maybe
somebody will respond before the conversation's over, before the subject's over.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Oh we're gonna be on this bitch for a while.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
But it was pricially every time we went because it was,
you know, more medicine, give her this, give her ear drops.
We got to give her these joint whatever it was, pills.
I gotta give her pills every night. But what I
was gonna say was when we were there last, I
had asked about it because at that point it was
the size of a colf ball maybe, okay, And they
(08:02):
were and he said, yeah, it's just a fatty tissue.
You know, we could cut it off, stitch it up,
that'd be no problem. And I think at the time
it was like four hundred bucks. But I was like,
he was like, but it's not. It doesn't seem to
hurt her. Dogs get it all the time. It's not
affecting her in any way.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Cool. Well, of course it's still kept growing.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
So six months ago, eight months ago, it got to
the size of a what's the bigger ball?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Small lemon?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Uh, tangerine?
Speaker 4 (08:43):
It got it got good sized, like a tennis ball. No,
not quite a tennis ball, Okay. So we actually gave
it a name. We call it Wednesday because it's her
hump like hump Day Wednesday, So we would actually refer
to it as Wednesday, you know, my Christmas card that
we give out every year. We were gonna get a
little hat and put it on that motherfucker next year.
(09:05):
That's how big it was growing. Well, it got to
the point where it was almost like a tennis ball. Kid,
it was big, and it got so big that the
very top there was no hair anymore.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
It was the skin.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Oh uh, so it was.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
It was a good size, kid, It was like almost
like a tennis ball.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
We got home from work one day last week was
it last week? And bro blood on the walls, blood
in her beds, blood on the couch. Either it popped
or like that morning she ran around and you know
(09:53):
she likes to runner under the shrubs and stuff. Maybe
a shrub cut it and we just didn't notice it because,
you know, we left for work.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Maybe she was mad at you because you guys are
taking all the vacations. Fuck that. These motherfucker's gonna learn
some ship today.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Dog My house, damn near looked like a crime scene.
Blood everywhere everywhere. Kid. We had to put towels on
the couches because she likes to rub her back against
the couches, you know, like scratch your back.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, because she had the bucking a.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Dog. So my daughter happened to be in town at
this point, and she was like, we gotta got to
send her the vet.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
I'll take her, you know, I'll take the day off.
Because ship.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
After it popped, Yo, it reduced in size like by half.
I was like, cool, we're straight.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
You weren't you was sitting there crowding, So we made
an appointment.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
How long does it take for them to see be uh?
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Because this happen let's say on a Friday, and they
couldn't see her until Monday, so they took her on Monday. Kid, Oh, yeah,
we don't have we don't have time to do this today.
We'll have to reschedule for today. But here's one hundred
and forty dollars worth of medicine. Need to start giving
her antibiotics so it doesn't get infected. So we're like,
(11:23):
I did it as my wife that took her a dot?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Or was it my dog? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Let me ask you a question. Hadn't it been you?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
It had to take the dog to the vet, and
they told you, okay, well it's gonna be we can't
do it today. Here's a hundred busy bucks worth of
narcotics to give your dog, you know, And like I
told you a couple months ago, it'd have been four hundred.
But now that it's ruptured and we've got to do
some of the things, gonna be around eight hundred bucks
(11:58):
seven fifty.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
That's around the hair bugs.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Would the diagnosis have been the same when you got home,
or been like, hey, we gotta talk about putting it down, Peter,
that took a turn, or just had it done and
be like, funk, I went to the doctor, Peanut took
a turn for the worst.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
We got to go pick up a new dog.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
No, I wouldn't have done that. She still got some
life in here. Come on, I can't do that. I mean,
I would put her down that she was like in pain.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
You're wallet, You're wallet in pain right ship?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Like, so what would it take? I mean what what
kind of what? What kind of would it be? I
did hold on? Would it be financial severity or would
it be your dog's in pain?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah, we gotta you know, that's that's a given.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Now money wise, is she worth two grand?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Not anymore?
Speaker 3 (13:04):
No, she's still worth two grand.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well you gotta remember hold on, but hold on, remember
you already paid a couple grand before you paid seven
to fifty plus fifteen hundred. But you're that's about a
five thousand dollar dog right now, not to mention what
you had to pay to fix the sprinklers.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Why you got to bring away she's.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Just saying that, wo because we're doing the cost analysis
right now, we're doing a cost analysis right now. All
that plus all the all the food and all the
other and all the time you took it to go
do pictures.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
You know what I say.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
My daughter was going to Europe for the summer. She
was doing like one name study abroad type of deals.
And the night before she was leaving, she was packing
up all her shoes and shit, and Peanut was a
puppy at this point, like tore up some of her
sandals that she was taking and my daughter was.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Hot, kid.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Not better get away on?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Oh, she probably was ready. Yep.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
So let's revisit what I said. We're talking for you're
probably you're probably a good six grand.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Do you can't count food and stuff?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Okay, well even then you're still a sick even just
with just with doctor stuff and and things that you've
probably had to do for the dog over the years.
You're probably you're probably about a six grand a six
thousand dollar dog.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Well, yes, as as other people will be. You know,
you you have a dog, you got there's expenses involved.
Come on, just because you let your damn dog starve
out here, he.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Hurt any trying to put you down. Ship I just it.
It just blows my mind like I could for another
human being. I guess I can see, but I you know,
I've never I've never shared my affection for an animal
like that.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
So well, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Your dog came up looking like mine day one and
left looking like when him if the opening kids you
see on TV asking for money flies on in his
ears and his eyes.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
To one black eye because he wouldn't listen. I get it.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
But what I'm to say is, at a one time shot,
if they were like, yo, it's gonna cost three grand,
I think I'd be like, hold on, let's uh, you
know we're gonna need to discuss this. Two it hurts,
but okay, three, four, five, Well hold on a second.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
So okay, so let let's talk about this very second,
because I know you know you and you and your
wife have things worked out really well and you guys
do things a certain way.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
What what what was the so like?
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Okay, so let's say you wanted to buy something for yourself,
but do you have like.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
One hundred, two hundred dollars limit? And then you got
to discuss it right now, like a five hundred dollars
limit or you just fucking I make my money, I'll
buy what I want.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Okay, Like I'm saying, is there yes, I could buy
whatever I want? But here's the thing, she knows it.
I wouldn't do that. I mean, yes, can I go
We talked about this before. Can I go out and
buy a brand new drum set for ten grand? Financially?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
I probably could, but I wouldn't. I mean that, you know,
I don't need a ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yeah, you don't even play with the one you got.
That'd be dumb.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
You got a point there, but but yeah, that's what
I saying.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
So like, so like things that you want to buy
or whatever or are considering buying, is there a limit
that the two of you said? Okay, well, come on, honey,
you should have talked to me first. Things that you
have to buy for the house. Maybe, like you know,
when you went to go buy a refrigerator, had you
come home with the refrigerator with the screen in it
and all the Wi Fi and all the send you
(17:12):
text messages because you're low on milk? Like, would she
given like, but you know, we didn't need all that shit,
but come on.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Yeah, she would have said, that, but she's like songs,
I got refrigerator. If you want to buy, if you
want to spend the money on all them bells and
whistles that we don't need, that's on you. But the
thing but here's the thing, I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
What about what about if she gets the urge to
go buy I don't know does Balenciaga make bags if
she wanted to go by herself.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Or she couldn't do that?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Was that you putting your foot down or are you
just saying like like.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
That was a natural reaction?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Right?
Speaker 3 (17:53):
But no?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
What I mean like, I'm giving you the chase to
get out of it, bro, because that came out your
mouth real quick.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Well, them bags are like twenty fifty grand. Come on, No,
I mean, and she knows we are not in that lane,
you know what I'm saying. We are not there so close?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Okay, So if she wanted to buy a two thousand
dollars bag, would she need to call you first to
be like, hey, maybe I'm thinking about buying this.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I don't know if I should.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Would she need to?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
No?
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Because she wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Tony set that bullshit aside and answer the question.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Well, it's hard to answer, because that's not that's not us.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Okay, At what point would she need to call you?
Then there's got to be a dollar five hundred bucks,
So she doesn't need to call you for a two
thousand fucking dollar bag.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
But if she's gonna spend five hundred bucks, she need
to call you.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
No, no, no, anything over five hundred. She'd be like, yo,
I want this? Is this? How much is gonna cost?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Okay? Do you feel like you like you would do
the same.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Almost definitely, I'll do it for something that's one hundred
bucks one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Bucks, yeah, but you cheat than them up. Yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
So when it came to peanut okay, and doctor said
shouldn't have waited? Is seven fifty doin? Plus you know
your medicines, you'd be like, oh shit, hold on, I
gotta call a wife.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
No, you're just like, okay, no problem.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Well she did, Yes, she took you down.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Did she call you and be like like, baby, it's
it's it's seven hundred and fifty bucks.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
No, it's more like maybe it's seven fifty and she's
going in on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Oh no, excuse me.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
She goes in on Wednesday, and it's going to be
seven fifty, so she's going she's getting surgery done.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
You need to have seven fifty ready by Wednesday, big.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Buck out exactly. That's how it goes.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
M And and you said that two thousand would have been like, yes,
can we just put some band aids on it?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I was trying to put some band aids on it before.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yo.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Yeah, like the little ones said reduced, Let's squeeze that
motherfucker and spring it down to zero super glue. Squeeze
the rest of it out, and hey, wrap her up.
I watched doctor Piple Popper. Just make sure you got
gloves on in the mask. I'll pour alcohol all over
these staples and staple that mum together.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Oh that dog would have fucking bit the fuck out
he ports all that shit.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
It's funny because uh.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Uh, while my daughter was here before she got it removed,
like because it was bleeding, like I said, so, my
wife would tell my daughter, yo, while we're at work,
you need to pat it, you know, so you know,
soak up some of the blood. And my daughter said
would look at her like you better not even think
about touching me, and she was like, yeah, okay, all right,
(21:06):
I'm good. I feel you. She just said, shit, that
looked like, yo, you're not coming near me. But I
was like, okay, but I mean when my wife will
get home. She pat her down, and you know she
wouldn't do nothing.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I thought you were gonna tell me you guys were
feeding them fucking some gummies and ship your dog all
fucking you.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Know what, we probably should have done that. To be
honest with.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
You, I wonder, I wonder if the dog haven't weed
had any of that any effect on the growth of
that thing.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
No, this was before the weed. They say it's common, Yeah,
it happens. But here's the other issue. She got like
a couple more than little bumps everywhere. That's how this
they all started.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
And their natural us dogs get them apparently, so you
know you change them with your dog from well it
should be uh chunky us some of our gun lumps
all over.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
But that was last week. That's why we couldn't record
because when.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
You were available, and I really was available up until
the night before we took her in. We took her
in at ten o'clock in the morning. Again, I had
to drive all the way Indio to take her. That dog,
I got a problem driving here, so let's be real, Indio,
(22:34):
I'm looking at my watch to see if time has changed.
I'm going so far, but anyways, drop her off at
ten point thirty. My wife was gonna pick her up
after work. My wife called them after work. Yeah, we
haven't even gotten to her yet. We had a busy
day to day. We're gonna do it. We're gonna her
surgery's gonna be like in an hour, so you guys
(22:57):
can pick her up and tomorrow we'll keep her over
no charge.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
And I was like, damn.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
So when you wanted to record the following day, I
was like, yo, I can't be cause I got to
pick up this dog after I get done work and
I don't even know how.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
That's gonna go.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Right.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
So when I picked her up, kids, she they shaved it,
you know, the area on her back, and she got.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
A scar that's probably a good four inches long.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
And what makes it even nastier is the stitches almost
look like they're made out of yarn. Yeah that's sick,
I guess because obviously it's a dog running around.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yo.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
It looks nasty, it sounds nasty. Dog, it's nasty looking.
Oh and then she got to get the stitches removed.
They ain't like the joints.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Oh bro, have you run stitches?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Nope?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
When they take them out, it's a trip, Like you
can kind of feel it, just like it doesn't hurt.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
But when they pull that thread out, I did. I
don't know. I don't know if other people did, but
I did. I felt it when they pulled that little
string back out.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
The trip is crazy.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Mm so.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
About six grands seven grade is what you're sitting on.
I let's start calling your dogs. I wouldn't say that.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
They say twenty five hundred. Well, and then we got
her fixed of course, you know when she was a puppy. Okay,
how much was that I don't remember, But I wasn't free,
that's for sure. Then all her shots, uh.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
The shots were free? Right? Hell no, dogs don't get
shots for free.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Why would they get shots for free?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
My dog got shots for free. But I went to
the county thing, so you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Oh yeah, yeah, my dog. I mean we too uppity
for that.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, we were sitting in the waiting room with dogs
like on crack and shit.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
I mean, I mean we got to did the lobbies plush?
You know, the waiting room with you know, you sit
with your dog.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
It's nice. Plus I mean, don't get me wrong, a
new spotty like that. But that's all right.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Well, you know it's cool though.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
You go to the county, you walk out and it's
like going to the colony hospital. You walk out with
like with like diapers and bags of chow and you
go out. You're like all kinds of shit like cool,
all kinds of free streets and kinds of ship for
the dog.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Well, now what she does is she's like normal. She
thinks she normal. She gets on her back and starts
wiggling around. She's still pushing her back up against the couches.
We got a shirt on her.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Oh that shit gonna well what her hair grows back,
it's gonna itch even more.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yeah, well, we got a T shirt on her, and
two days ago, I think it was Monday.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Yo, she's like opening it up.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
It's like the T shirt is getting blood on it,
and we can't stop her from doing. We yelled at her,
but she's like shit, fuck you guys.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
You gotta get her high, dude. I'm telling you just so.
She's lethargic for a couple of weeks. Then you gotta
wean her off slowly because we're not. She's gonna get aggressive,
but she's good. Guess what, dude, I've joined. I've joined
the solar community.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
They came. They came this morning and flipped it over.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
No shit, congratulations, bro.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I started this process in October of twenty twenty three,
a year and a half. And you know what's funny,
hear me out a year and a half, okay, I
(26:55):
I signed the contract. Within three days, somebody was here,
put a new panel, ran all the wiring, and mounted
all the panels on my roof.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Hold on, when was that.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
October of twenty twenty three? Oh?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Okay, all that.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Shit was done in October, and then we played the
game with a pool. Finally give into that fixed all
that shit? Well, then the fucking first company they sent
out wasn't calling me back, and they couldn't get shited
fixed through the through the county. Every time there was
an issue, I had to go to the county office
(27:37):
and try to get it fixed. Okay, So I kind
of got everything squared away, had an issue with the
company called my solar company, and I went upside somebody's ass.
I don't know, well, they switched out companies that was
doing my installation, and then a couple of days of
(28:00):
that phone call, I got a call from a new company. Hey,
we're taking over blah blah blah. Can you kind of
tell us where we are, what's been done from your
perspective so we know. Alright, cool, So this happened while
you were gone, while we were on our hiatus. Do
you remember, matter of fact, that happened while we were
on the motherfucking air where the AC came on and
(28:24):
it would kick off the power to the house. Yes,
so I id came out to switch the meter.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Reader so that there was a sent and receive.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Well they had to turn the breakers off when they
do that so the guy doesn't get shocked.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
All right, cool, I might work.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Then the dude calls me back, Hey, it's all set.
I was able to put in the new meter with
no problem. Oh well there was a problem. I was like, fuck,
all right, what's up? He said, well, you know when
I take it out, I have to turn off the breaker. Yeah,
he said, well, when I went to turn the breaker on,
(29:14):
the breaker snapped, so it's broken half and sent me
a picture of it, and it was broken so I'm like,
all right, he says, And there's no power to your
house because that was like the main breaker, he says,
(29:34):
And I ID is not responsible for that, so you know, unfortunately,
you're gonna have to find somebody to come out and
fix that for you. I'm like, bitch, I'm gonna work
like I can't be on the phone trying to find
somebody to come out and fix my my uh my switch.
(29:55):
And who the fuck's gonna pay for it? Well you
know that that it'll be something that you have to
call the company on. Blah blah blah blah blah. I'm like, motherfuckers,
all right, cool, cool, thank you, you know, no problem,
blah blah blah. Appreciate you coming out and doing that,
blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
So then.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
I come home, I finally find somebody to come out
and fix it, dude, And the dude was gonna you know,
it's after hours, bro, so you're gonna get done because
the cost is that much more expensive.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Here, that's what the breaker looked like.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Oh yeah, I remember, Oh yeah, I showed you guys.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Huh yeah. So then.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
So then, uh, I'm battling with him right now.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Who's gonna pay for the breaker right now.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Yeah, because what happened was is I called, and it's
gonna sound really wrong, and I don't mean this and
any kind of racist way.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
But if you take it that way, fuck.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
It because you meant to dead way. Let's be honest.
Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
No, it's not that I mean it. Race is just
a pain in the ass.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
So I I called and it was a Filipino character
of the answer to the phone, and.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
He had a really, really thick accent. Now I know.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
That I'm really good with Filipino people that have a
really thick accent. One of the kids that I trained
when I was at Aaron's Filipino kid, super thick accent.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Great kid. Learned a lot.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
This guy was either not fucking listening to like like
he was like on his phone listen, huh uh.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
And then I stopped talking. Oh I'm sorry, what were
we saying? But the fucker. So anyways, I had a
really hard time and I I just fucking blow up.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Well, look, dude, fuck that. If you're not gonna any help,
I don't know, I don't want to deal with you.
Get us some bread on the phone. Oh well, there
are no supervisor availables. How the fuck you run a
business with those supervisors available?
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Man? Fuck off? So I hung up. I was in
the wrong.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
It should have acted that way. But October of twenty
twenty three, just remember that. So anyways, I hadn't dealt
with the actual solar company.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Okay, hold on, what about that was racist? Do you
think I mean just because.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
He was Filipino and I had a really hard time
understanding him. So I didn't want anybody to think, Oh,
you're just a fucking because you can't understand fellow fucking Filipino.
I speak bitty good Pino.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
I know how I Joey Koy love him.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Joy is all right? Fuck throwing a bunchet dugs right now.
So So anyways.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I I called a new company that they had sent
out to fix. Hey, listen, I talked to you guys
about this in the beginning that I've had an issue
with this, says they switched this out. It never happened
to me before. But once they came in, they put
panels up, and they did all that shit, and they
switched it all out.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
I was having issues.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Well, you're gonna have to call the company that you
were dealing with before. Because if they did it, that's
their responsibility. Well, they're not going to fucking do anything.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
I said.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
I had them since October of twenty twenty four or
twenty three, and they didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I've told them at least four or five times, well
what the fuck was going on? And they didn't seem
to give a shit. That's why we are where we are.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Oh, well that you're gonna have to call back your
solar company and let them know and let them divide
to decide.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
All right. So I called again, got another Filipino kid,
explain it all to them, and.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
I, you know, I feel like when I explained it
to them, like I thought before, I called it, okay,
well let's give the information, get it in your head,
give it to him in succession. That way, you're not
oh well, what I meant was and keep going back
because you're going to confuse a person. Just lay it
out the way you mean to say it and get
(34:16):
your point of drugs.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
So I was very direct. I was very YadA, YadA, YadA,
this is what happened.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
I've done this, I've done that, these are the steps
I've taken to remedy the situation. So he tells me
the guy on the phone, Oh, well, we don't deal
with that. We have another company that.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Deals with installation issues. Okay, he says, but first.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
You have to submit pictures of the of the blow
and breaker and all that to support.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
And they'll decide what they're gonna do. But you can
also call this company because about the two hunder bucks,
because that's who they deal with, all right, So I
called that company that.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Yeah, I don't know what that dud was talking about. Bro,
he says, we only we only we only uh you know,
we're twenty four hours a day for uh once it's
been switched on, and it's shit that we've done. We
have nothing to do with that, he said. But you
know what said, I understand, it's frustrated. Let me let
(35:27):
me make some notes, made some notes and even like again,
I explained it in succession and even afterwards he was
like trying to read it back to me, and I'm like, no, this, this, okay,
is there anything else I missed?
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Yeah, this, this and this okay. So he fixed all
of his notes, and I called back my solar company.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
And uh total gave my name address all that. Okay, Yeah,
I see your account said, do you see any notes? No, sir,
I said, all right, well, then you probably want to
get a supervisor. Well, you know, we do have supervisors
on the line. Sometimes sometimes they're not available, sometimes they are.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
But I am I am a lead. I think I
can help you out.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
I said, well, this is gonna be about the eighth
fucking time I explained myself, and uh, the reason why
I ask for a supervisor because I'm going to act
in a way that you may not get paid for.
That's a good way and uh and I don't want
to unleash that on you if you're not getting paid
to do that any kind of chuckle. He says, no, sir,
(36:38):
I you know I am like the first step supervisor,
so I would have to do that anyways.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Blah blah blah. Okay, you asked.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
For it, I said, Now, I said, you don't have
any notes, So I'm gonna explain it one more time.
I said, so, do you have a pen and piece
of paper or whatever you need to take notes? Because
it's gonna get ugly. I said, okay, all right. Mid
October twenty twenty three, and I gave him the host
Biel and he kind of he got it almost all right,
(37:11):
missed a couple of things. Well, while I was talking
to him, I got a text from the new contract company.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Hey, you know, give us a call back.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
We were trying to get in contact with you, which
is bullshit because it would be all over them my
phone if you were trying to get in contact with me.
But I get it. So I told him, I said, well,
they're calling me. They just called it or sent me
a text from the new construction company. They want me
to call so they can come and commission in the system.
He said, okay, good, that's a good start. I said, well,
(37:45):
I'm not going to get off the phone until we
figure out who's giving me back my two hundred dollars
because I'm not paying for it. You guys can cut
me a check, or you can give me some sort
of credit on my pay I said, but I'm not
paying for that, and you're not gonna tell me. Oh, well,
you need to call so and so because I didn't
choose that company. You guys chose that fucking company to
(38:07):
come and do my installation. And again, if this started
on October twenty three and now it's fucking almost May
of twenty twenty five, and I still don't have motherfucking
solar on. So I'm not paying two hundred dollars for
that issue because I've called and spoke to several people
about that situation.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Totally understand sir. We'll go ahead and get that taken
care of.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
I'm gonna make that, make a note of it, and
you're right, it shouldn't be your responsibility.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
We'll get it taken care of.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
So they send me a note about an email about what.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
They're gonna do and how they're gonna take care of
the two hundred bucks.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
So I'm all right. Cool.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
So now I got solar and I'm gonna get my
two hundre bucks back, and they're gonna send somebody out
to make sure that that street connection is correct.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
At what point is it the homeowner's responsibility?
Speaker 4 (39:06):
And I'm you know, obviously we're talking about you, but
it could be happened to anybody. Does their old equipment
that just happened to fail.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
When it was being worked on? At what point does
that become the homeowner's responsibility?
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (39:28):
So, so had I id come out and put that
in and it broke and I hadn't had that issue
since October twenty twenty three. Had I not called several
times to that company regarding that.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Issue regarding the breaker tripping, correct, Okay.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Okay, I'll get it taken care of, and that would
have been my issue, because.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
It's an older house, just made of plastic, it's running
fucking hot current, and it's one hundred and twenty degrees outside.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Like you're I get it, Uh, but fuck no, not
in this case. I'm not.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
I'm not eating that shit because I've called and I've
made contact and I've made phone calls strictly regarding that happening.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
And if they were to tell you the reason it's
happening is because it's an old breaker and it should
be replaced.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
You're right, and you should have replaced it when you
added the panel, because that's part of the contract.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
How's that part of the contract.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Well, because if you're gonna, if you're gonna put in
a panel, okay, or they should have addressed it with
me when they did that, because like, let's say you take.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
Your car in to get something fixed.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Okay, Okay, Hey, we're gonna we're gonna, you know, change
out these things. But understand, it's an older car things
are made a plant. Sometimes these clips break now most
of the time a lot of places, it's cheaper just
to buy the piece and fix it. It's twenty bucks
(41:12):
to buy the little clip, fix it and move forward.
Sometimes it's a it's a bigger a fuse or a
bigger relay that breaks. Hey, like we told you earlier,
you know the we Hey, it's twenty bucks more than
we said because the relay broke. You know, it's the
(41:34):
original one that's been in the car since nineteen thirty.
You know, sometimes it fail. Sometimes they break, so we
had to replace that. Okay, I mean you can't. You
can't hold somebody accountable when you bring in something that's
so the guy in brittle.
Speaker 4 (41:50):
So the guy that exchanged your meters. Had he called
you and said, hey, there's a problem here. You have
a very This is one of the original breakers that
came with the house. When we did the work and
went to go turn it back on, the breaker broke.
But it's not our fault is due to the age
of the breaker. Would you have accepted that because you
(42:12):
just accepted it in the scenario of the car, is it?
Speaker 3 (42:17):
In other words, had he worded it differently.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
No, because it's not.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
It wasn't that it was if I had not been
having the problem with it once they switched it, So
if it hadn't been blowing since October of twenty four.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
Oh so you're you think, Oh no, I don't think.
Speaker 4 (42:39):
I know you you think because it kept tripping that
weakened it to the point to where now it finally broke.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Well, let me show you a picture of the breaker
next to it that you could see where it was
arcing and has caused a problem for the breaker next
to it, that one needs to be changed as well.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
So, yeah, do I think it's an issue?
Speaker 2 (43:14):
Is it my fault? I don't do fucking electricity. I
wasn't back there. I wasn't back there fucking around with
the panel box. So no, that would be the people
that came and switched this ship. Pretty simple, right, Yeah?
(43:38):
Are you saying are you saying I'm wrong?
Speaker 3 (43:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (43:46):
How the fuck do you think I'm wrong?
Speaker 4 (43:47):
Because your shit is old. Things happen, especially when you're
trying to work on them. You were trying to do
all these things and the breaker couldn't handle it, all
these additions that you were doing, adding solar panels. All
the work that's being done, your a CS old is drawing,
is pulling more juice out of these breakers.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
Yo, So why didn't they again do their due diligence
and say, hey, you know what, we need to replace
these and now's the time to do it because we're
switching panels.
Speaker 3 (44:26):
You have just said, no it works, No, I don't
need it. I don't need it.
Speaker 4 (44:30):
No is it working, yes, sir, but no, if it's working,
I don't need it. Ahead you know you like hell
how much?
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Wait? Wait?
Speaker 2 (44:43):
Wait, wait, wait wait, those are three dollars fuses and
you want to charge me how much?
Speaker 1 (44:47):
The fuck out of here? I think they should have
done it when they were in there changing the panel.
Speaker 4 (44:54):
You do. You do have a point, mister Lopez. You
know we're gonna be putting all these panels in. We're
gonna be messing with your box. Just an fyi, these
breakers are old. All this equipment is old. Just give
you a heads up. If something were to go wrong,
it's gonna have to get replaced. That because in my
line of work, I do the same thing. Hey, just
(45:16):
to let you know.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
But let me ask you a question.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
Let's say, okay, let Let's say you're gotta switch out
a motor, okay for somebody. So you change the motor,
and the motor vibrates more than the old one.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
I know, probably doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
But I don't know a lot about pool service other
than water and chloring, Okay, So let's say it vibrates
more than the other and when you when you put it,
the motor was a little bit different and the pipe
fitting was more to one side than the other from
the normal one. Instead of just being in the middle,
(46:01):
it's further to the right, causing it to rub another pipe.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
Okay, And you said, well.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
Fucking I'm just replacing this because well, they didn't pay
me to move the pipe, so I'm just gonna fucking
I'm gonna make it fit. So you force the pipe
over just a little bit to connect to the new pump,
tighten everything down, and you leave. You see it shaken,
but you're like, that'll be fine. So the guy's back
(46:31):
in his backyard swimming, the motors turn on. It's like, wow,
that's fucking vibrating a lot. Hey, mister Pacheco, Yeah, this
is Bob fucking pays a lot for one of your customers.
You came, mean you replace the motor, but their motor
it seems to shake a lot more than my other one.
And I hear clacking on the pipes. Hey, no, no
(46:55):
big deal. I saw that too. It should be fine.
You shouldn't have an issue.
Speaker 3 (46:59):
Wow, okay, cool.
Speaker 2 (47:03):
Hey A couple days later, Hey, you know, maybe you
can send somebody out to take a look at it,
just to make sure.
Speaker 1 (47:09):
I'm sure it's fine. I do this all the time.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
I'm a professional, big deal, all right, and begrudgingly gets
off the phone. A couple of months later, Hey, uh,
mister prochecou, my line sprung a leak where the pipe
was tapping on the other pipe. And I think because
(47:33):
of what I was telling you that it was shaking
a little bit more than the than the original motor,
it caused it to break put a hole in the line.
Speaker 1 (47:46):
But I need you to come and fix it.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
And then when you say, okay, cool, yeah, we'll be
out there, and that's five.
Speaker 1 (47:54):
Hundred bucks, Uh for what?
Speaker 2 (48:02):
So whose responsibility would it be yours or his?
Speaker 3 (48:08):
His?
Speaker 1 (48:09):
You get the fucking out of here.
Speaker 4 (48:10):
It would be his because it was working when I left.
It wasn't leaking when I left. It was fine when
I left. Now here's here's where you went wrong in
that scenario. Okay, hey, mister Picchecko, you would just uh,
you just replace this thing and it's vibrating. Could you
come out here and take a look. I would have
(48:31):
never said, yeah, I noticed that too. I'd been like, sure,
I'll come take a look.
Speaker 3 (48:38):
Come.
Speaker 4 (48:38):
Oh shit, you know what, because it is new motor,
it's causing this to rub da da da. You know
we're gonna have to cut this all out. It's gonna
be five hundred bucks. That's how I would have played that.
Speaker 1 (48:51):
So what you're saying is.
Speaker 2 (48:54):
That you would have left that job knowing that you
were gonna fuck this dude at five hundred bucks down
the road.
Speaker 4 (49:01):
No, but you're okay with it because you know, well,
it's working when I left. Okay, when i'm I see it,
it's working. It's not quite how it was. But you
know what, this is what they paid me to do.
They paid me to install this new pump. This is
what they wanted. I gave him all the ins and
(49:22):
outs about it.
Speaker 1 (49:24):
Okay, So I'm gonna say this for you.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
Just in case you're listening and you're looking at your
radio like, what a douche he's just fucking around. Tony
would not do that. He's trying to play the bad guy.
Just he wouldn't. He would not do that.
Speaker 4 (49:43):
It depends on how obvious it is, really, of course,
because let's say let's say I'm dealing with somebody like
you did. I know, we ain't gonna pay me to
five hundred dollars to do something on top of what
I've already done.
Speaker 3 (49:56):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
I'd have been like, well, why the fuck didn't you
buy the same motor? Why'd you buy? I mean, you
saw it.
Speaker 4 (50:01):
Was they don't make it anymore because your ass wouldn't
have bought you. You wouldn't have upgraded it until it
broke down.
Speaker 1 (50:08):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (50:09):
Why don't you just put an elbow on that ship
and extended over a little bit.
Speaker 4 (50:13):
Well, I don't get me wrong, I've done every effort
to make it right. But at one point in time,
at one point during this, you're gonna have to say,
this just ain't gonna work. So what are we doing here?
We believe it? Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (50:32):
I get what you're saying. I get what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (50:34):
But I kind of get what you're saying too, except
you know, shit does get old and shit.
Speaker 3 (50:41):
Just don't work. Well, you're right, but and you one
of those guys that was working before you got here.
Speaker 2 (50:47):
Right, Well, well, the thing is well and more than that,
it's it's because they've come out and said, hey, you
know what, I'm glad that you called us about this.
Speaker 1 (50:56):
We didn't see it.
Speaker 2 (50:58):
You know what it was, it's been having a problem
prior to us coming. It wasn't enough draw to blow it,
but you could see where it was already having an issue.
We can go ahead and change it for you, but
we're gonna, unfortunately, we're gonna have to charge you to
do that. That's different. Because I called and I was
(51:19):
having an issue was seemingly what you've done.
Speaker 1 (51:24):
Right. You didn't address it.
Speaker 2 (51:28):
You didn't address it before it became a major issue.
Speaker 4 (51:32):
Bro. They probably didn't address it because of you being
such a pain in the asked when with all this
shit going on, I remember, what was it? You was like,
I'm not paying for this some shit with the roof
if I remember right?
Speaker 1 (51:43):
Nope?
Speaker 3 (51:43):
What was it? My pool?
Speaker 4 (51:46):
No, there was something else? Oh yeah, yeah, because oh well,
y'all didn't check the records to see if this pool
was a legal or not.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
You didn't ask there, No, you you didn't ask me
if it was.
Speaker 3 (52:00):
They're like, Yo, we ain't fucking with this dude.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
To watch this guy. Watch this guy. But dude, that
was like that was even before that. I like, like
right away that you know how they said, no, we
don't see no notes.
Speaker 3 (52:16):
Oh they saw some notes.
Speaker 2 (52:18):
Yeah, they shyster careful wants everything free. Fuck, dude, you
know I don't Again, I don't think I'm had it.
Had they addressed it in the beginning.
Speaker 3 (52:37):
Yeah, you do have a point. You know, this is old.
I'm gonna let you know right now.
Speaker 4 (52:42):
You know, I'm not sure how it's gonna work out
once all his work is done, So just be prepared
it it happens.
Speaker 2 (52:49):
Because all you are quick about coming to get my
money and want want me to pay for ship.
Speaker 3 (52:53):
I'll give you an example. Motors mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (52:57):
The previous motors that we were able to use, which
is a single speed, it turns on, it runs, and
that's it. Now in California, we're required to use these
new smart pumps that change speeds computer systems five times
amount of what a pump would be a motor. If
your motor went bad, we can't replace it. We have
(53:19):
to cut out the whole thing and put it in
this whole new system.
Speaker 3 (53:23):
Jesus okay.
Speaker 4 (53:25):
However, motors have bearings, right, because it's spinning, sometimes those
bearings rush out. It used to be cheaper just to
replace the motor. You get a whole new motor, let's
say three four hundred bucks, where it was gonna cost
you one hundred and fify almost two hundred dollars to
(53:45):
replace the barings cheaper by a new one because I
can replace the bearings, but there's no guaranteed the motor
ain't gonna go out in six months right now, two
hundred bucks to replace some bearings versus two grand to
put it in new pump all right now, now there's
some substantial savings. However, very few guys know how to
(54:08):
do it, very few and very few guys are willing
to take on the job because it's like we have
to take the whole thing apart, the whole motor. We
got to go into into the insides of it. Sometimes
they don't get put back together, basically rebuilding it exactly
and you, we run a chance and it not being
(54:29):
able to get put back together. I have to explain
this to everyone. You say, hear how loud? This is okay.
We can either leave it or replace the whole thing
for two grand, or I could try and fix it
for two hundred bucks. Just be prepared if we can't
put put it back together, because we already cut it out,
(54:51):
you're going to spend two grand? Are you ready to
Are you ready to start this journey with me? If
we can fix it, great.
Speaker 1 (55:00):
Well, the two hundred that I put towards this, will
it go towards my new pump.
Speaker 3 (55:03):
Or you don't get charged for the two hundred if
it didn't work out.
Speaker 1 (55:05):
Okay, Well that's good.
Speaker 4 (55:07):
So just be prepared. So you want me to start?
You got that two grand?
Speaker 3 (55:11):
Ready?
Speaker 1 (55:14):
Let me ask a good question.
Speaker 2 (55:16):
What if I showed up with a pump as a
homeowner to say, well, I can get the pump.
Speaker 1 (55:23):
Okay, you'll be good with it.
Speaker 4 (55:26):
You're paying me in cash and I'm not giving you
a receipt, okay, because you don't I don't know you
after I install it.
Speaker 2 (55:31):
Yeah, because my neighbors down the road they just put
in a new pump. I think it's the one I need.
I'll have it for you tomorrow, first thing in the morning.
Speaker 4 (55:44):
Well, I'm talking more in terms of homeowners. For whatever reason,
the state comes or the city and how did you
get this? That's brand new? You're not allowed to put
this in Oh well you have to have a permit
to put it in the order. No, he should, but
anything over like I think it's five hundred bucks.
Speaker 3 (56:05):
He's supposed to pull a perira, but nobody does that.
Holy shit.
Speaker 4 (56:09):
Really, But like, for example, if you go to sell
the house, okay, the real estate says, hey, how did
you get this? This motive is brand new? Because they
have to disclose to the new owners. Hey, you got
a single speed pump? In California, they're required to have,
you know, a variable speed pump just to let you
know it's they do it.
Speaker 3 (56:27):
I don't know why. Interesting, Hey, why how did you
get this pump?
Speaker 2 (56:32):
And they and they do that because that one kid
got caught at the bottle on the bullers shit right.
Speaker 3 (56:36):
Oh no, those are different types of pumps.
Speaker 1 (56:38):
Those are why do they make give a variable speed?
Speaker 4 (56:41):
Because California doesn't want to waste electricity. There's too much
you know it's cheaper.
Speaker 1 (56:47):
Don't waste electricity. We're all buying electric cars, the fucking idiot.
Speaker 3 (56:51):
In all actuality.
Speaker 4 (56:52):
They do conserve you know, I have it in my house. Yeah,
they do work. I'm not going to deny it. However,
it's gonna take you ten years.
Speaker 1 (57:02):
To recoup your cars.
Speaker 4 (57:03):
Yeah, and in those ten years, is this brand new
motorre gonna go out?
Speaker 1 (57:07):
Jesus, always, always, always something.
Speaker 4 (57:13):
I'll give you another example. Pool lights, Okay, required to
put in LED now on new construction. Okay, why because
LED uses less electricity versus three hundred bulb you know,
in a traditional light. Now you put in LD's twenty
(57:35):
two y's okay, that's number one, number two. Well, no
excuse me. We can still replace the bulbs if a
bulb goes out.
Speaker 1 (57:47):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (57:48):
However, if your existing pool has a pool light that
has a bulb and it needs a whole new light
because let's say the assembly is bad, I can't buy
a traditional I can't replace it with the same I
have to get an LED, So new construction LED replacing
the entire because they don't sell pool lights with bulbs anymore.
Speaker 3 (58:12):
Okay, then I'll sell the Bellhouse correct.
Speaker 4 (58:15):
Now, come to find out pool lights, well, excuse me.
Pool lights come in three sizes, three hundred watt, four
hundred watt, and five hundred what god damn five hundred wats.
You know you're talking about big pools, commercials, commercial pools,
stuff like that, traditional homes, residential homes. It's a three
(58:35):
hundred white bulb, three hundred assembly, I should say. I
just found out I could buy a four hundred watt
light assembily brand new.
Speaker 3 (58:47):
I can't get it.
Speaker 4 (58:47):
Three hundred wat assembly brand new, but I can't get
it five hundred what assembly brand new. Spas take a
smaller light, and those are hundred watts, I can't get
that one brand new. With a bulb, I get the
equivalence to them. I get an led assembly that's equivalent
to one hundred watts, but it only uses eight gives
(59:11):
the same light output, but it consumes less. It takes
less to use it. Okay, but I can get a
four hundred watt one because what it pulls to run
that four hundred bulb is less than what that bulb
(59:34):
puts out. Geeze some shit like that, like heat wise,
wattage wise. So the four hundred watt is okay because
the math says it's okay. I don't know what the
math is makes no sense to me, but I can
get a four hundred watt bulb assembly because.
Speaker 3 (59:53):
What it pulls to what it gives off is okay.
The math is there.
Speaker 4 (59:59):
Geez, Like the three hundred watt pulls too much power
for the illumins that it gives off, Okay, the five
hundred watt gives off too much heat for the loomans
for the power it's pulling, or some shit like that.
But like the four hundred watt is even with what
it's pulling, what it needs, what it's getting.
Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
I don't know, but just it's just dumb, totally dumb.
Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
Let me ask you can ask you a stupid question.
Of course, it's a super stupid question. I think I'm
used to it.
Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
That was good.
Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
When you change a light bulb in the pool, okay,
do you have to drain the pool below the light
line or do you do it from how do you
change the fucking light bulb with a pool?
Speaker 4 (01:00:44):
It depends on whether the light is placed when it's
originally constructed. Ninety nine percent of the pools they're on
a wall that I could lay down on a deck
and reach down and get to it and then pull
it up. You know, it's only ailed in by a screwy.
You remove that screwed and the screws on top of
the light on the ring, so I should be able
(01:01:05):
to reach down there with a screwdriver while laying on
the deck, unscrew it and then pull the light onto
the deck. And it's a long cord and it's a housing, correct,
it's all. It's like a capsule. However, when the pools built,
sometimes they put them too low.
Speaker 3 (01:01:22):
And we can't reach.
Speaker 4 (01:01:23):
Them, so we have to jump in and undo it
and then put it on the deck. And the worst
part is they'll put them if they put them on
a wall where the.
Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
Spa is like the elevated spayeah. Those are the worst.
Speaker 4 (01:01:40):
Those Sometimes you might have to drain it because you
don't have anything to put the light rest of the
light on. Sometimes it takes two of you, one person
to hold it above water while the other person opens
it up, replaces it and it closes it back down.
Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
I'm trying to how do you not execute yourself? Like
what is the what is the because once you take
that out.
Speaker 3 (01:02:09):
Okay, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
Mean I'm assuming it's not like a huge housing right,
it's it's like a shallow mount.
Speaker 1 (01:02:18):
It's got to be fairly thin.
Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
Yeah, what.
Speaker 1 (01:02:22):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (01:02:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:02:24):
How does it not get watered?
Speaker 4 (01:02:26):
The lid has an O ring and it gets tightened
down by a clamp.
Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
But you're still but you're still running live wires.
Speaker 3 (01:02:34):
To it right when it's turned on.
Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
So how do the wires not get wet when you're
installing it? Is what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (01:02:43):
The capsule is Let's say it's the size of a
what am I look? Let's say the old school TVs
not that big, but the lens is flat, but the
back was fat. Okay, that's what a light looks like.
A cord that's in that comes out of it, that's
completely sealed. So if that TV was sitting, you know,
(01:03:07):
fake in a wall, that the body of the TV,
the back of it was in the wall, and that
the flat part the actual screen is what's you know? Yes,
So you pull completely pull it out and you put
it on the deck. The cord gets wrapped around the
back of it. That's why it'll fit in this in
this hole in the wall. And then you pull it
(01:03:28):
out the you know, the cord because it comes undone,
and then you just there's a clamp holding the lens
or the screen. Once you're gonna do that clamp, you
just remove the screen and then the ball was just
sitting in there.
Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
Got you. That was how they change the light over. Yo.
Speaker 4 (01:03:46):
Like life's a scary kid. Yeah, dude, So especially if
you got to get in and do it well not
I mean the power is off, but it's just yo.
You know, people will get electrocute with that stuff. Nowadays,
the LEDs that I.
Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
Mentioned, yeah, they're they're low voltage. It's fine.
Speaker 1 (01:04:02):
You know, it's like putting a nine volt on your tongue.
Speaker 3 (01:04:06):
I don't even think that much.
Speaker 4 (01:04:08):
I don't even think you feel a tingle, to be
honest with you, if something were to happen.
Speaker 3 (01:04:11):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
So before we started the show, uh, and I was
doing the hat. The radio station here right had this
young lady on the show. Her name was Emon Fun,
fun persons, great personality, good people. She was just kind
of silly. She was, you know, younger, so there was
things that she didn't know. And we talked about testing
(01:04:37):
a nine bolt battery because our generation we used nine
bolts a lot, right, like they were in the games
that we played and shit like that, right, So I
was like pre triple A and pre double A usage
like there was they like they used them, but not
as much as nine bolts.
Speaker 1 (01:04:57):
Nine bolts, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
Or if you were at home and and you had
that beep down the hall and you had to change
the fucking you had to make sure the night bolt worked.
So jess, in case kids are listening, you only do
this with the ninth bolt, and you don't hold it
on there very long, but you just take the two
the pieces of the metal and you tap him on
your tongue really quick, and it'll give you a little sensation.
Speaker 1 (01:05:21):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
The battery is good, bro, this gold. This girl put
the whole fucking night bolt in her mouth.
Speaker 3 (01:05:28):
The whole battery in your mouth.
Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
Oh, it took me forever. Just fucking stop laughing. Try
to no, no, no, Les's not the way you do that,
you yourself.
Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
Don't do that shit fucking hilarious.
Speaker 3 (01:05:48):
That must a little bad taste in her mouth.
Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
Oh yeah, it had to be terrible. Oh but it
was so fun, dude, Oh my god, she tell you
she was cool. People dude, you won't. So I know
that we we've you know, the last month has been
rocky and we're leaving and doing all kinds of different ships.
Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
So what'd you been up to?
Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
Well? Fuck we after coming back from Utah, I've just
been kind of trying to work and and uh get
used to my new tenant.
Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
Tenant and uh and Milo. Uh, you know that that's
a whole different dynamic.
Speaker 3 (01:06:31):
How are you gonna?
Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
All right?
Speaker 2 (01:06:37):
My li those friends is living with us? About that
it pays to live with us. Look at Tenant. You
know what, he's a cool kid. Dude, he's good, he's good,
and his uh, his demeanor offsets Milo's really really well,
which is helpful because.
Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
Now Milo has somebody.
Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
It's his age. Just like, hey, bro, that ain't cool.
Don't do that, amen, I should pop some talk like that.
Speaker 3 (01:07:09):
You got somebody on your side.
Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
Yeah, that's different than his brother, you know what I mean? Like,
all right, cool, I don't know if he's really on
my size when he's trying to work me for a
fucking rent discount.
Speaker 1 (01:07:21):
I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. But it's been it's
you know, it's been good to just kind of learned
some ship, and.
Speaker 2 (01:07:31):
It was it's been a little bit easier that I
thought it was going to be.
Speaker 3 (01:07:36):
What having a roommate, I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:07:38):
No without without smashion, like I missed him, but not
like not like I thought I would.
Speaker 1 (01:07:45):
Like.
Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
It's weird because I really kind of forced myself to
give him a white berth what to kind of like,
I don't call him.
Speaker 4 (01:07:55):
A wide birth. Yeah I never heard that term used before.
Really a wide birth.
Speaker 1 (01:08:02):
Yeah, no, I don't.
Speaker 3 (01:08:03):
That don't make no sense to me. I gotta I
gotta google that kid.
Speaker 1 (01:08:09):
All right, you're gonna wait. So you know, I just
kind of.
Speaker 2 (01:08:20):
Respecting the boundaries, I guess, and letting him kind of
figure out his deal.
Speaker 4 (01:08:25):
Probably to you white birth ship, I mean knowing what
I'm saying, Shoot, birth is b E r t H
by the way, because I was thinking about your lace, you.
Speaker 3 (01:08:34):
Know, experience.
Speaker 1 (01:08:36):
Oh you think about my own expend legs.
Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
Okay, uh So anyways, you know, just kind of giving
him a chance to live and be who he wants
to be in try not to call him and bother
him and ask him questions and do all that. And
he's kind of like where it.
Speaker 1 (01:08:59):
But you know, you gotta remember that.
Speaker 2 (01:09:00):
Sebastian is also, well, if you don't call me, I'm
not gonna call you, you know what I mean. You want
to know something, you need to call me and ask me.
I'm not gonna just call you and tell you shit.
So it's kind of like, well, fuck, like, how do
I know what I mean? So it's it's navigating new
water in our relationship. But uh, you know, like I said,
I I've done really well about not about not calling
(01:09:21):
him or being up his ass about ship and just
kind of letting him live life and figure it out.
Speaker 1 (01:09:26):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (01:09:26):
Like it's it's it's a it's a whole new world
for him, you know what I mean. So, but he
seems to be doing pretty good. He got a job
within that first week of being there. I mean, he's
still getting phone calls from places that he did apply to. Wow,
and he's and he's still going to interviews have something
better comes along, or if a second job comes along.
(01:09:48):
He said he was ready to start a second job,
and I was like, you had to move fucking three
states away. I've been telling you that ship since y
he's you know, he's doing good up there.
Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
He's learning, he's he's uh, hanging out with his buddy
and and that and that girl. So, uh, that's good, dude.
They went to You're Shooting.
Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
You finally found him self a shooting range close to
home where he can go. The place is beautiful, dude,
absolutely gorgeous. I'd move up there, really, m M. I
told her, Hey, dude, don't fucking trip dude in the
year year and a half. If I'm up here, shit
is gorgeous, dude. But it's cold as fuck, Like it's
(01:10:29):
really cool. Like we went to this place called Shields,
and Shields is like the bass Pro Shop.
Speaker 1 (01:10:38):
Okay, but for men, let that ship sink in. Fuckers.
Speaker 2 (01:10:43):
It's it's fucking it's like a it's like a it's
like a man's Walmart.
Speaker 1 (01:10:52):
Bro.
Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
You walk in and the first level, I would say,
his family and shit like that, like just regular clothing,
not like camel and shit like that. Right, But then
you go upstairs. Excuse you walk in first, and we
start there. You walk in and there's a fucking ferris
(01:11:15):
wheel in the middle of the fucking store. The store
is like a mall.
Speaker 1 (01:11:21):
Tony.
Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
Well, that doesn't sound very manly to me.
Speaker 2 (01:11:24):
It's motherfucker well, that's because it's on the first floor.
So you leave the wife and the kids there, okay,
and then you you know, you move on up and
you you know, the camping and all that kind of shit,
and then the top is where the guns are at. Man, Tony,
California ain't got no kind of guns, bro. The California
(01:11:45):
is bullshit when it comes to the Second Amendment. That
motherfucking place had. There were so many guns like I
had never even like the names and the and the
companies that were making like I had no idea, bro,
And they had guns that were like and that the
gun you play that you use when you're on fucking
the ops, you know. Yeah, yeah, that said this and this,
(01:12:09):
and him and my brother were fucking geeking out, right.
And then so when we getting towards the end of
that section, they, uh, he said, Dad came here, so
I went and he said, all right, so you know,
you're then.
Speaker 1 (01:12:27):
Mentioned a specific gun that they have.
Speaker 2 (01:12:29):
He says, remember your when you when you pulled back
the bolt carrier, which is the part you pulled back
to load the next one and close it, right, So yeah,
remember how it felt. Yeah, he said, try this, bro.
You could just with your index finger pop it up,
and the fucking thing already starts sliding back by itself,
(01:12:52):
pull it all the way.
Speaker 1 (01:12:53):
Back and effortless. Bro. Absolutely, just just like Wow, that's
a fucking well machined piece of fucking artistry. Like it's
fucking They had some badass guns, dude, but you're talking
prices that went along with that ship. But uh, but
it was funny, Yeah, dude.
Speaker 2 (01:13:14):
It was like, all right, so I pay rent on
this day and then I could go I could buy
a gun two weeks later, and then a two weeks
later I pay rent and two weeks after that I
could buy this gun. I was just like, God, damn,
so you need to slow down, need to buy you
a new uh a new safe first.
Speaker 1 (01:13:35):
But yeah, bro, that fucking and the.
Speaker 2 (01:13:37):
Store, like the store had like its own fucking like
you know, the mall has like a like a Lego
place and it is just fucking legos. This had it
had its own like shields beauty section. It had its
own shields Lego place, and they had some asal was something,
(01:14:00):
Oh look at they have all the the like that

He's like, yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna go broke here
and it's only like like like fucking ten minutes from

Speaker 1 (01:14:22):
Do you know what the Dalut Trading Company is?
Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
Yes? Uh, clothing right right?
Speaker 1 (01:14:27):
Did you know they actually had stores? No?
Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
I thought it was all online probably the same thing
you did, right, Like it was just an internet store.
They had right across the street, in the same parking
lot of Shields, there was a Duluth Trading Company. I
was like, fuck that, we gotta go in there. That
shit is dope. Who because their clothes is dope. Their
clothes like really yeah yeah. Now their underwear all right,
(01:14:58):
because it holds the nuts and cools them all at
the same time. Like they're not whitey tidies, but they're like,
uh like boxer briefs. I guess that what they're called.
But they have but they're they're dyce dude.
Speaker 1 (01:15:12):
Really yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:15:13):
They hold everything really good and there the material breathes
really well.
Speaker 1 (01:15:18):
Hm nice, but they're expensive.
Speaker 2 (01:15:22):
And I walked in that motherfucker and everything in that
store was expected. They had a fucking regular old plain
T shirt. Bro I whenever I under the price. Oh yeah, no,
this store is not for us.
Speaker 1 (01:15:32):
We had to Utah's and money Makers.
Speaker 3 (01:15:37):
What do you mean the stores not you buy their underwear?
Speaker 2 (01:15:40):
Yeah, on the internet. But see, I shopped differently any
thing you do. Whenever I go to a website, I
only shop the clearance section. I wear all the last
year's ship.
Speaker 3 (01:15:51):
I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 4 (01:15:53):
I didn't know webs they had clearance sections on the website. Yeah, bro, really,
I mean I know they have stuff on sale, but
that's like right in your face as soon as you
click on the website.
Speaker 2 (01:16:07):
Yeah, you go to you go to that menu and
it'll say clearance really and then what section do you
want to look at?
Speaker 1 (01:16:14):
And you put it where you want?
Speaker 3 (01:16:19):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (01:16:22):
Hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:16:23):
I used to do that all the time at Macy's
clearance online. Yeah, or even d XL the fat Man
store clearance.
Speaker 4 (01:16:36):
I wouldn't I'll start looking at that. I mean I
don't shop that much anyways.
Speaker 3 (01:16:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
Even like for a while, the only place here in
town to get fat Man closed was jac Pennies if
unless you wanted to go to Walmart, and you can
go to j C Pennies, right, So I go there
and they had they had a pretty good section, and
then I figured out they had clearance online. Please get
two for the same price as that one, the same shit.
(01:17:03):
I'm good, I get me two.
Speaker 1 (01:17:06):
You know what I mean. I'll save a penny where
I can save eybody.
Speaker 3 (01:17:09):
Yeah, I didn't know you shopped like that for underwear.
I didn't know you had it like that.
Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
And I shopped like that for everything. Well, I mean
a clearance. No, No, I didn't buy anything that wasn't
on some sort of sale.
Speaker 3 (01:17:20):
But what's wrong with Haynes I rock Hanes.
Speaker 1 (01:17:25):
By yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:17:26):
You can buy just one to start the Dilute Trading
Company underwear and do it before we record again.
Speaker 3 (01:17:34):
No, and then you cann be like I'm not doing it.
Speaker 2 (01:17:36):
Then you can be like, okay, I get it, telling
you bro, world of fucking difference.
Speaker 3 (01:17:41):
Well I have.
Speaker 4 (01:17:44):
You know, I have my work clothes, which I wear
to work ninety percent of the time because I'm working
most of the time, and then I have my play
clothes or personal clothes. It's like I have a work
truck and I have a personal vehicle.
Speaker 1 (01:17:59):
So your work kind of wear different than your.
Speaker 4 (01:18:02):
Yes, my work socks, my work everything's Oh, my work
underwear is Hanes.
Speaker 3 (01:18:10):
And the rest of them are Stoke No like uh
common cli yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:18:15):
Underwear you know, you know, actually know my personal socks
are Hanes as well, but they're different, like because I
could tell the difference. Like for work, my socks have
like the gray bottoms, whereas personal there is just all white.
Speaker 2 (01:18:29):
So they hold it and they hold that moisture a
little different, right.
Speaker 4 (01:18:32):
No, I just do it because no, you know, yeah,
because I before I did this, it was like when
I would go out and put on a pair of
socks and they're worn, It's like damn.
Speaker 1 (01:18:44):
You know.
Speaker 4 (01:18:45):
So now the personal stuff lasts a lot longer because
I don't use it for work.
Speaker 1 (01:18:50):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:18:50):
You said that, and a bunch of shit just clicked
in my head. Then I stopped doing this, and it's
when things kind of went a little funny for me.
Now then I started thinking about it. But when I
bought shoes, I'd always buy brand new socks and I
wouldn't put on a pair of new shoes with old socks.
Speaker 1 (01:19:15):
But I stopped doing that.
Speaker 3 (01:19:17):
I saved you a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (01:19:19):
Well, my luck went sideways. Was like, hey, wait a minute,
I need to start buying socks when I'm buying new shoes,
and I'll put it to the chest.
Speaker 2 (01:19:26):
I'll go buy a new pair of shoes and new
pair of socks, just to make sure I'm right.
Speaker 3 (01:19:32):
You know, what I just started doing.
Speaker 4 (01:19:35):
I mean when I say I just started because I
just barely came back to work last.
Speaker 1 (01:19:39):
Week, oh from your surgery. Yes, okay.
Speaker 4 (01:19:42):
So what I did was I decided, because we've talked
about this before, that I have a lot of pairs
of shoes. Okay, So, and like my socks and underwear,
I had specific pairs of shoes for work.
Speaker 1 (01:20:00):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (01:20:03):
When I just don't throw away my shoes, my personal shoes,
I just kind of stop.
Speaker 3 (01:20:08):
Wearing them, right, I do.
Speaker 1 (01:20:09):
Sing.
Speaker 4 (01:20:10):
So what I started doing last week for the first
time is my older shoes that are personal that I'm
not really wearing that much, I warn for work, I'm
wearing them for work. So look, Wow, I got my
shell to Adidas with fat laces that.
Speaker 3 (01:20:29):
I'm wearing for work.
Speaker 1 (01:20:31):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (01:20:32):
I'm actually I'm impressed myself.
Speaker 1 (01:20:35):
Well, you know you have to. You have to. I
gotta start going through mine too and make sure they're good.
Speaker 2 (01:20:42):
But uh, if you don't wear your shoes the glue
on them goes bad and they start to come apart.
Speaker 1 (01:20:51):
I don't know if that's ever happened to you.
Speaker 3 (01:20:53):
No.
Speaker 1 (01:20:54):
I have one pair.
Speaker 2 (01:20:55):
Of shoes that I fucking love them, but I can't
find them anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
They don't make them anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:21:02):
So I was wearing them very sparingly, and they started
coming coming the bar.
Speaker 1 (01:21:08):
I gotta take them to a cobbler and have them
a little back down.
Speaker 2 (01:21:11):
But they're a pair of Chucks, but they're they're not
like regular just fucking Chucks. They're they're Converse, but they're
like a black velvet with little red pin starting.
Speaker 1 (01:21:25):
The motherfuckers are bad, bro.
Speaker 3 (01:21:27):
And they're not worn. I mean like worn out.
Speaker 1 (01:21:30):
No, no, no, you could.
Speaker 2 (01:21:32):
I mean you could tell they're used, but they're not
like damn dog, you toss some shit to get some
new ones.
Speaker 1 (01:21:37):
No, not like that.
Speaker 3 (01:21:39):
I've got my my Jordan fours. There are.
Speaker 4 (01:21:47):
Like the ones that my first parent ever bought when
I was in high school. Oh wow, okay, so I've
got like the the newer version, but they're already a
few years old.
Speaker 1 (01:21:55):
Right.
Speaker 4 (01:21:56):
The black on the back of them is like cracking
and peeling, and I was like, what the fuck and
sure enough they say it happens.
Speaker 1 (01:22:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:22:06):
Just from sitting there, I'm like, you know, I'm watching
videos that you know, they'll take sandpaper, send it off
and then repaint it with like acrylic pains.
Speaker 3 (01:22:14):
I'm like, I ain't he doing all that?
Speaker 2 (01:22:16):
No, But there's there's a couple of different dudes online
that you can send them to and they do and
make the motherfuckers look like brand new.
Speaker 3 (01:22:22):
Bro And just like you just said, I just gotta
wear them.
Speaker 1 (01:22:26):
You got.
Speaker 2 (01:22:27):
You gotta be careful when you send that ship to
somebody though, because they don't always their system doesn't always
work with all the shoes, and they try to treat
all the shoes the same. So like, if you find
somebody that like, oh, dude, dude fucking kills Adidas, send
(01:22:47):
that dude you're Adidas. If another dude does, oh man,
this dude does these nikes and kills, send the dude
your Nikes.
Speaker 4 (01:22:54):
I'll tell you what. There's a dude that lives in
marin O Valley shoe cleaner that I bought and it works.
You know how you go to the mall and they
try to say, let me clean your shoes, and they
pham same same thing, you know what I'm saying, right,
But because the dude lived in Marino Valley, you know,
(01:23:16):
I bought some, right, And Bro, I'm in there cleaning
my shoes clean. I've never really done this before, like
clean the soles, keep them might right.
Speaker 3 (01:23:26):
And this stuff works.
Speaker 4 (01:23:27):
It's called a foam Zone one fifty, so it's f ZA.
So if you look online you can buy some of
that stuff. Yo works, kid.
Speaker 2 (01:23:39):
You know what, when I bought that, I cleaned up
a pair of shoes that I hadn't then. I had
just warned the ship. And when I got done, they
look like brand fucking new. They're these little scouring pants,
call them scouring pads for just a lack of better terms.
But these little pats, they're circles and they have like
(01:24:00):
it looks like those mister clean those white pants on
one side and an orange scouring pad on the other.
You wet it, ring it out and do it. I
clean my shoes and the white part comes out fucking
white as all get out, and they don't turn yellow,
which a lot of people like.
Speaker 1 (01:24:21):
I never throw my.
Speaker 2 (01:24:22):
Shoes in a washer, have you, No, I don't get that.
I've never like i've never been one to do that,
so I don't. But I guess I don't really move
too fast to sweat in my shoes like some people might,
so I never had to like wash them like that.
Speaker 1 (01:24:41):
But I don't. I don't even think I. I don't
think I would.
Speaker 3 (01:24:45):
This dude that I saw, he's got a little slogan.
Speaker 4 (01:24:50):
And what he says when I pump, when I pumped
the phone, I'm in.
Speaker 3 (01:24:54):
The zone, you know what, dude, Yeah, dog, he's off
the hook. He makes these little videos.
Speaker 1 (01:25:01):
Bro, he used to do that. I told you, like,
if you have Nikes, that's the dude.
Speaker 4 (01:25:04):
That sent He actually says he doesn't do that anymore. Really, Yeah,
he started doing that, like cleaning people's shoes and stuff.
But I guess obviously his business is taken off.
Speaker 3 (01:25:14):
He don't do that.
Speaker 4 (01:25:14):
No, were don't send him any shoes unless you just
send it into him for him to keep, for him
to clean and he can give him away or something.
Speaker 1 (01:25:21):
He used to.
Speaker 2 (01:25:21):
He has videos of him going to the store, walking
in the mall and he'll find somebody go fucked up shoes, yep,
and he buys them shoes for the ones that are.
Speaker 3 (01:25:29):
Exactly and he'll take those shoes home and clean them.
Speaker 2 (01:25:31):
Well, and I'm thinking, like, fun, dog, where were you
when I was.
Speaker 3 (01:25:35):
A kid, bro, I'd have been at that mall every weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:25:39):
You're trying to find him, Like.
Speaker 4 (01:25:42):
I saw a video he was walking to the mall
and the patrol of the security for the mall was
driving by in a car. Right, and uh he got
on a loud speaker when I pumped the bone, I'm
in the zone and dude will turn around up to
start laughing.
Speaker 1 (01:26:05):
Yeah, that fucking TikTok's making a lot of stars. Bro.
Speaker 3 (01:26:09):
Oh was it TikTok? Because I don't need TikTok YouTube?
Speaker 1 (01:26:13):
Have you you paid?
Speaker 2 (01:26:14):
You pay attention to the news though, right to some extent. Yeah,
well you get you get updates and all that shit
on your phone too, right. Have you noticed all the
young people that are dying. They're like and they're fucking
They're all influencers and ship they're all dying in their twenties.
Speaker 4 (01:26:33):
I I have past articles, meaning I didn't read it.
I just read the headline right of yes, of what
you're talking about, I have zero interest in knowing about it,
but I know what you mean. Yes, Oh shit, Okay, well,
I'm just saying, people in their thirties die all the time.
Just because they're an influence is the only reason why
they're getting a little headline.
Speaker 1 (01:26:53):
Well that's the whole point.
Speaker 3 (01:26:56):
So what do I get?
Speaker 2 (01:26:59):
Is it so people that you think you think that
people at that age have been dying like that for
a long time, and they're just because their influencers are
because of the Internet, they're getting attention now.
Speaker 4 (01:27:12):
Of course, it's just like everything else, everything that's going
on today, all the bad stuff, majority of the bad
stuff has been going on all the time. It's just
that now with you know, the event, not the invention,
but you know, television newspapers, you know, we're getting news
(01:27:33):
from across America. We're just learning about it. For example,

and getting killed, but we just didn't know about it
because it didn't happen in our neighborhoods, in our small towns.
Speaker 1 (01:27:47):
We didn't know the fucking extent of it exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:27:50):
So you know, it's been going on for years.

Speaker 4 (01:32:17):
One, Yeah, it was. It was a great one, you know.
And we stayed at a nice resort and it was cool.
It was every day we just walked down to the
beach and just chilled. One day we went to like
a like it's not an amusement park, but it's a
park where you know, they had a gigantic lazy river,
you can swim with the dolphins, do all this kind
(01:32:38):
of stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:32:40):
This time we went to a resort. It was a hotel,
more of a hotel that's part of that same amusement
park that we went to.
Speaker 4 (01:32:47):
Okay, And it turns out there they have like six
amusement amusement parks. So we actually we weren't there that long.
We were there, uh three days, four days.
Speaker 1 (01:33:00):
Bro.
Speaker 4 (01:33:01):
We went to a different park every day. The first day,
well even the first day because we went at night. Okay, Bro,
it's a whole different world out there, like because they
don't have the restrictions and all the laws that the
United States have. Right the first night we went there,
we went to a park. We drove these little four
(01:33:23):
by four almost like lifted golf carts if you will,
and you got to follow the trail or else you're
banging in the walls. It's almost like a bumper car.
And you know what it is if you ever driven
those Autobahn west of Disneylandia Autotopia exactly same thing, except
(01:33:49):
there's not that as far as the feeling, as far
as you got to really push on on that gas
and that engine that's that lawnmower engines shaking you more
than moving exactly, kid bro. But there's no track, I
mean you could. You're following the trail, okay, bro. And
it was a good twenty thirty minutes, really, yeah, kid bro.
(01:34:13):
My arms started getting a little because I was driving.
My arms started getting a little numb from all the
vibrations and stuff. And you we gotta wear helmets, yo, kid.
Speaker 3 (01:34:23):
It was nice.
Speaker 4 (01:34:26):
My son and James's wife and James, both the James kids,
they went ziplining and it.

in recovery.
Speaker 3 (01:34:41):
And they no, yeah, I couldn't. He wouldn't let me.
Speaker 4 (01:34:47):
I wouldn't have done it anyways. I ain't trying to zipline. Okay,

Yeah no, because you climbed and you you zipline to
another plateau as lowered to another plateau that's lower.
Speaker 3 (01:35:01):
Yeah, kid, I'm not trying to do all that.
Speaker 2 (01:35:03):
I'm already I'm already afraid of heights exactly. And then
you want me to jump on and take a zipper
all the way down and now I'm good.
Speaker 1 (01:35:09):
Bro.
Speaker 4 (01:35:10):
Uh but dude, it was nice. The weather was perfect.
Day two, we went on a speed like a gigantic speedboat,
and Bro, they start going in circles and dude, these
things are fast. And what they would do is they
(01:35:31):
would like go a circle and go around three or
four times to were almost a toilet bowl. And they
were just really fast driving the middle. So you're going
down kind of and they slam on the brakes, bro,
and it all this water just encapsulates the whole because
it's all open air.
Speaker 3 (01:35:52):
Bro, it was off the hook. It was crazy.
Speaker 4 (01:35:55):
And you know, and the pilot and the co pilot,
you know, they're hyping you up, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (01:36:00):
So you're getting pumped too.
Speaker 1 (01:36:03):
So who screamed louder in the tunnel you or your wife.
Speaker 4 (01:36:06):
Uh, I think it was equal. Hit the brakes and
they tell you when we go down, it's not on
the breaks. You gotta put your head down because the
hood goes down. So yo, all this water just comes
crashing in.
Speaker 3 (01:36:21):
Bro.
Speaker 4 (01:36:22):
It was cool when swimming with the dolphins. Uh went
on these torpedo joints. It's like, oh with the with
the fans that dog. I probably shouldn't have done this too,
because you gotta like kind of you gotta if you
(01:36:42):
want to go underwater, you gotta put a little bit
of effort to push it down, to throw the nose
points down.
Speaker 3 (01:36:49):
But once once it's pointing down, it's going down. Wow,
I ain't.
Speaker 4 (01:36:53):
Gonna like it because you got these goggles that are
clear as day.
Speaker 3 (01:36:58):
You're down there with these bro driving around.
Speaker 4 (01:37:04):
A couple of times I forgot to come up for air,
so I had to shoot straight up. Yeah, because you're
just like admiring everything. You just it's dude, it's like
you're in a fish tank. You get yeah, kid. Uh.
At one point, like one of the tour guides had us.
Speaker 3 (01:37:20):
Come close to that. He was like on a dock.
So he was like calling us to get closer, and
we're kind of like spread out because nobody knew. It
was just like eight people in our group, and he's
like telling us to come closer. So we inched a
little closer, and he's like getting frustrated. He's like with
his orange for you know, come on in, come in,
come in. So we come in.
Speaker 1 (01:37:40):
Yo.
Speaker 4 (01:37:40):
He starts throwing chomm into the water. Bro fish are
diving out of the water to catch it before it lands. Really,
my kid, wife and kids are like deuces. I'm out
and I would look underwater, like just put my head
down and dude, they're right next to you. And some
of them got big old eyes, you know, they're just
(01:38:01):
eyeballing you and ship. It was a trip. It was
mad cool, though, Wow what else did we do out there?
We went back to that same park with the lazy river.
My buddy James, he put his feet in the tank
to where the fish eat all the scale off your feet.
(01:38:23):
I couldn't do that, he said, because he's, uh, he's
allergic to suntan oil. If he gets anywhere near it,
he's fucked. So like certain things he doesn't do, like
the lazy river. He couldn't do that. Oh, and he
actually had just had an operation as well, some surgery
on his back. I had it on my stomach, heat
(01:38:44):
on his back, and he couldn't go in the water.
So he did like the fish descaling on his own.
Speaker 1 (01:38:51):
Yo.
Speaker 4 (01:38:52):
He said, it looked like he had a white sock
on his foot because he's black. And it was just
fish just attached to his feet, eating it all up. Dog,
I couldn't do it, but.
Speaker 1 (01:39:03):
The fish, all the black oven.
Speaker 3 (01:39:10):
What else did we do out there?
Speaker 1 (01:39:12):
Bro?
Speaker 3 (01:39:12):
It was just really nice.
Speaker 4 (01:39:13):
And the other thing is it was all inclusive, because
everything's together, right. They give you these these rubber bands
that has it looks like a pebble, but it's a
square pebble and it's got there the name of the
place engraved in it.
Speaker 1 (01:39:30):
And you can snatch the pebble from it is time
for you to go, Yo.
Speaker 4 (01:39:33):
You use that to go into your hotel room. When
you go to the parks, you use that to enter. Really, Dog,
everything's included too. I couldn't believe it. You would love
this kid. They had soda machines just sitting there. You
just grab a cup, fill it up and keep it moving, really, bro.
You go to just like Disney, think of Disneyland. You
(01:39:56):
go sit down and eat.
Speaker 1 (01:39:57):
Disney ain't got no soda machines you just walk up to.
Speaker 4 (01:40:00):
But it's the same setup. You can sit down and eat,
you grub, you get up and leave.
Speaker 2 (01:40:05):
Okay, So here's my question. It's a very great analogy.
If if a fucking a resort in Mexico can set
up machines for you to get free coke throughout.
Speaker 1 (01:40:18):
Their parks, why can't Disney do that?
Speaker 3 (01:40:21):
Ship got a point?
Speaker 1 (01:40:27):
What's the big deal?
Speaker 3 (01:40:30):
Very good point?
Speaker 2 (01:40:30):
Because you go spend money on everything else, Why they
gotta fucking dick you on everything?
Speaker 1 (01:40:36):
Just take just take a few wins.
Speaker 4 (01:40:39):
You had a point, you know what I mean? You
think because Americans to just take advantage of it. Because
I'll be honest with you, I passed these soda machines.
I didn't want soda. I wasn't thirsty for it. I
could have grabbed it. But dog, they have beer machines.
You grab a mug and get you a beer. Fuck, bro,
(01:40:59):
it was crazy, absolutely nuts. I couldn't understand it. When
we got done eating, we were sitting at one of
the little eating pus spots. I'm like, so how do
we what do we just have to sign and receipt
that says we ate and that's it. No, people were
just getting up and leaving. You know, I felt awkward
(01:41:20):
just getting up leaving.
Speaker 1 (01:41:23):
We wanted to go back and do the dishes, right.
Speaker 3 (01:41:27):
Yo, at the resort.
Speaker 1 (01:41:28):
And what's the name of the resort?
Speaker 3 (01:41:30):
X Well, the name of the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (01:41:33):
You know how six flags is six flags, magic Mountain,
six flags is all over the country, it's six flags.
Well this is called X correct. Yes, I've seen those
dog it's off the hook, don't they have they have
they have hotel rooms where the balcony is the lazy
(01:41:54):
river right, yes, the bottom floor. Well, it's not the
lazy river. It's the it's like the pool. But the
pool is it's not like tiled, it's like rock. So
that's why it makes it look like, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:42:05):
Like you somewhere.
Speaker 3 (01:42:06):
Yeah. Because the hook.
Speaker 4 (01:42:08):
Yeah, it's crazy, kid, it was so nice. I ain't
gonna lie. It was off the hook. The only thing
that because we did something every day, it was one
of those things that we wanted just one day to
do nothing Like the first day when we got there
because we.
Speaker 3 (01:42:25):
Got their mad early kid.
Speaker 4 (01:42:26):
We got there like a seven am and then it's
like an hour from the airport.
Speaker 3 (01:42:31):
To the location.
Speaker 4 (01:42:34):
But they were like, yeah, we'll take your luggage, hang out,
go to the restaurants. Your room won't be ready till three,
but you just enjoy it. Yeah, and we did hung
out by the pool. Before I went, I was talking
to this dude who went to Kankoon, not to this resort,
not that I didn't kind of know this already, but
he was like, dude, if you're going to hang out
(01:42:56):
by the pool, whenever they bring he goes, let me
tell you what I did.
Speaker 3 (01:42:59):
I'll tip to do like two dollars because it's all inclusive, right.
Speaker 4 (01:43:03):
Every time you guy brought me a drink, I tip
him a buck two bucks, and he got to the
point where he was just bringing them to me. Wow,
I wouldn't have to ask, and dog it happened. We
were there all day. Every time the duke brought me
a drink, I gave him a couple of dollars. And
then we left. We had lunch, James's family showed up,
(01:43:24):
we went to our rooms, came back four hours later.
I walked to my lounge. We sat in the same area.
Speaker 1 (01:43:32):
Bro.
Speaker 4 (01:43:33):
Within two minutes, dude brought me some beers. Wow, because
I saw you coming back, here you go.
Speaker 3 (01:43:38):
I was like, oh shit, and I'm breaching from my wallet.
Here you go, brother, Thank you. Yeah. It was real nice.
Speaker 1 (01:43:43):
It's good.
Speaker 2 (01:43:44):
It's good when you go there, like like now that
place it fucking ruined you because you're gonna go somewhere
and be like, nah, we should have gone back to
Cancun because brisk place sucks.
Speaker 1 (01:43:56):
Customer service here fucking blows balls.
Speaker 4 (01:44:00):
You know that actually happened to us. We went to
Disney World when the kids were little, and dude, it
was we stayed at a Disney hotel Disney World. Do
you know anything about Disney World. No, okay, think Disneyland.
You know how they have Tomorrowland, Frontierland, and they have
(01:44:21):
like all the different lands if you will right, well,
Disney World, each land is its own amusement park. So
an amusement park is just strictly Tomorrowland, all the Space Mountain,
all that shit is if you want amusement park, yep.
Another amusement park is like I said, there's like six
(01:44:41):
of them, and then they have hotels scattered throughout. Dog
Off the hook. We took a cruise with the kids,
a Disney, a Disney cruise. That's dope, bro, Disney does
it right, brod dog. After that, I can't stay at
a motel six no more. I gotta get treated right.
Speaker 2 (01:45:01):
You know the motel six words the you stay in
holiday in express. Mother fucking left the lights on for you. Bro.
Speaker 3 (01:45:08):
We'll stay at the holiday.
Speaker 4 (01:45:09):
But I mean, if there's if there's a Hilton versus
you know, right, we're staying at the Hilton, right right,
you know we because we want to get what we
paid for. So I don't have a problem with that.
But now fuck you. But now, yeah, you're right, dog
treated Oh dude, it's off the hook. And again being
able just to go sit down, eat. They got restaurants.
(01:45:32):
They had like seven restaurants on our resort.
Speaker 1 (01:45:34):
No ship.
Speaker 4 (01:45:35):
You just go eat, get up and leave. You don't
sign for anything, dude, Off the hook. One night we
got toasted kid lit nice talking. It's been a while
since I got that lit. Yeah yeah, all right, real nice.
(01:45:56):
It was a good trip and and in a couple
of weeks going to Puerto Rico. Wait what next week?
Actually I'm going back to Well, this Puerto Rico trip
was actually already planned, okay, like in advance. It's like
my kids are going and going to meet us there,
(01:46:17):
my brother and his family to go, and my mother's going,
so it's a family trip.
Speaker 2 (01:46:25):
Holy shit, is it cheap to go to Puerto Rico?
I mean, my chief and your cheaper did you buy
it in the clearance rack?
Speaker 3 (01:46:35):
It can't be cheap.
Speaker 4 (01:46:38):
Like, this is the first time I'm really staying in
an Airbnb.
Speaker 1 (01:46:43):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:46:44):
We rented like a like a I think it's a one, two, three,
five bedroom home.
Speaker 1 (01:46:50):
So you never stayed in an Airbnb before.
Speaker 4 (01:46:51):
I've stayed in it like once or twice. It's kind
of weird, huh, very weird. The first time I ever
stayed in one was with Manu and we were going
to his uncle's daughters Kinzinetta in Pasadena. They rented an
airbb so we could all be together, and my wife
and I stayed in a little girl's room. Bro it's weird, right,
(01:47:16):
very weird.
Speaker 2 (01:47:17):
Like we stayed at Airbnb when we went to Utah,
and it was just like when we left, I was like, well,
do we take our ship or do we leave me, like,
are the people coming home anytime?
Speaker 1 (01:47:30):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (01:47:31):
Like again, this was the first time, yo, Like they
they wrote notes, how you know we have this, this
in the fridge for you if you know, feel free
to take you know, this is how you work the laundry,
the washing machine and dryer.
Speaker 1 (01:47:44):
You know.
Speaker 3 (01:47:45):
It was just literally.
Speaker 4 (01:47:48):
It's somebody's home that they just left for the weekends
so we could stay there. And that was weird because
I do a lot of vacation rentals my pools, okay, but.
Speaker 3 (01:47:56):
They are legitimately like a hotel. It's empty. The owner
doesn't live there.
Speaker 4 (01:48:02):
He comes down or they come down every once in
a while, a couple of times a year.
Speaker 3 (01:48:06):
But yo, closet is empty. There's no family pictures.
Speaker 4 (01:48:10):
It's like a model home when you when you you know,
when you go see a model home.
Speaker 1 (01:48:14):
It's fucking sterile of life.
Speaker 4 (01:48:16):
Yes, but these Airbnb and I almost want to say,
this is the only time I stayed in Airbnb that
it was like we were in the little girl's room.
Speaker 2 (01:48:28):
Yeah, that's gotta be fucking like you're creepy, Like you
want to fall asleep and have one eye open just
in case that little scary girl come out the closet.
Speaker 4 (01:48:36):
Yeah it was yeah, yeah, it was weird. But we're
staying in Airbnb when I stayed in the hotel, and
so we can all be together.
Speaker 1 (01:48:46):
Who you gonna stay Airbnb in a foreign country?
Speaker 3 (01:48:49):
They ain't a foreign country. It's America.
Speaker 2 (01:48:52):
For all intensive purposes, Puerto Rico's a foreign country. Sorry, Uh,
did you.
Speaker 1 (01:49:01):
I don't know if I should say this.
Speaker 3 (01:49:02):
Oh, gotta say it now.
Speaker 2 (01:49:05):
Well, I just don't want to figure you guys out.
But did you guys call and find out the history
of the house.
Speaker 1 (01:49:12):
Has anybody ever died in it? Has a house ever
burned down and been rebuilt?
Speaker 3 (01:49:20):
Man?
Speaker 4 (01:49:20):
Now you on deep, kid, I'm just I have no idea. No,
I don't think we did. All right, check this out,
all right, I'm gonna lead up to this what you
just said, So give me a second.
Speaker 3 (01:49:37):
It's gonna take a little while to get there. My mother.
Speaker 4 (01:49:41):
I actually started work last the week before last. Thursday
was my first day back. Thursday morning, I go to work,
first day of working for two and a half months.
I do five pools. I get a call from a
my mom's homie. Your mom's getting rushed to the hospital
(01:50:04):
right now.
Speaker 1 (01:50:04):
Oh shit.
Speaker 4 (01:50:06):
She wasn't feeling well. She was feeling so sick that
she wanted me to take her to the urgent care.
We started walking to the car and your mom says,
got to call an Amulu. This is not working out.
Animla's picked her up. Take her to the Pop Springs.
I'm here with your grandfather because my grandfather she lives
my grandfather's and my mom my mom watches him.
Speaker 3 (01:50:27):
I'll stay here, I said, all right, I'll go to
the hospital. So I get there. What's going on?
Speaker 4 (01:50:31):
She's you know, she doesn't she's borderline pain but mostly discomfort. Okay,
and she doesn't know what's going on, but it's.
Speaker 2 (01:50:40):
That kind of discomfort that's like, hey, this ship is
a normal and we need to get this.
Speaker 3 (01:50:44):
Hit here and it's borderline painful. I'm you know right.
Speaker 4 (01:50:49):
She were there all day, they're running tests. My brother
shows up in the early afternoon. Turns out she got hurt.
Speaker 3 (01:51:00):
Yeah, fuck, just like me.
Speaker 4 (01:51:04):
Now she's had it for a while, just like me.
And she's known about it for a while, just like me.
But for her, I got to the point where it
just became too painful.
Speaker 1 (01:51:14):
Any reason why that may have happened or no.
Speaker 4 (01:51:17):
They didn't say. It just reached the boiling point for her. Okay,
they got her comfortable with the drugs and whatever. All right,
what's what's the next option? Well, we gotta do surgery,
same surgery I had. And then we were like, well,
with her age, she's pushing eighty this year, you know,
(01:51:40):
is there anything else we could do?
Speaker 1 (01:51:41):
Oh? So for your mom. It's like, I don't want
to spend the money, but Peanut like, fuck, whatever you
gotta do.
Speaker 3 (01:51:47):
I'm just kidding.
Speaker 4 (01:51:48):
I just kidd So doctor's like, it's just gonna get worse.
So can feel fine for a while now, but it's
gonna happen again, and it might even be worse.
Speaker 3 (01:51:58):
All right.
Speaker 4 (01:51:59):
So she's there overnight. There, she's there Friday. Friday, I
work half a day, so I didn't even work out
full day. Go back to the hospital. Surgery schedule for Sunday,
which was Easter Sunday.
Speaker 1 (01:52:14):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:52:14):
It was weird, very much, but they did it and
it worked out. Everything worked out great good.
Speaker 1 (01:52:19):
I'm glad to hear it.
Speaker 4 (01:52:21):
Sunday night, we leave, you know, leave her come back Monday.
She slept the entire night.
Speaker 3 (01:52:29):
I'm like Wow.
Speaker 4 (01:52:30):
I couldn't sleep that first night because I was in
so much pain. I couldn't catch my breath. If you remember, right,
I had I had a dog. My mom's snoring up
a storm. She no worries in the world. Another thing
plus for hers. She ain't got to be responsible for
my grandfather. She ain't got to worry about him cook
his meals. You know all this, dude, she's on a
(01:52:52):
little vacation. She's sleeping. She's sleeping all day, she's sleeping
all night. She's getting up to go the bathroom. I
couldn't do any of this.
Speaker 3 (01:53:03):
Kid. They released her on Monday or was it Tuesday? Bro,
she's walking up. I'm like, I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (01:53:13):
I couldn't stronger than you.
Speaker 4 (01:53:16):
My wife says, because you never had surgery before. And
I'm like, well yeah, but still she's had two kids.
And I'm like, but dude, I was three times as
bad as she is. Wow, But you know, my wife
tells me mine was a little bit more intense. They
had to move my liver, all this kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:53:37):
She's trying to make you feel good, I guess so, so.
Speaker 3 (01:53:43):

My mom's in the hospital, so she's taking care of
my grandfather. That's what we were doing the first few days.
This is what I'm referring to. Actually, because my mom
was in the hospital, somebody had to be with my grandfather.
My grandfather all he does is watch TV all day.
You put it on YouTube. You find a wrestling video
(01:54:41):
that's three four hours long, and put it on, and
he'll just sit there and watch it.
Speaker 3 (01:54:46):
Oh wow, boxing.
Speaker 4 (01:54:48):
Find the longest one that you can find, which is
a couple of hours, and he'll just sit there and
watch it as if it's brand new.

The TV sits on a big white dresser in my
mom's house in the living room. My mom's got like
a chest, a big one, three feet tall, six feet wide.
Speaker 1 (01:56:01):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (01:56:01):
Okay, I'm trying to figure out why this TV is
not turned I'm looking for the actual button on a TV.
This smart TV doesn't have an actual button. Bro.
Speaker 3 (01:56:13):
Somebody unplugged the TV from behind the dresser. Huh exactly.
The TV is unplugged.

Are you sure your mom didn't do it for she left?
Speaker 3 (01:57:02):
No, we watched TV the day before because I.

next day six am.
Speaker 1 (01:57:47):
And it wasn't in a place where like it could
have wiggled out.
Speaker 3 (01:57:51):
My brother said the same, shit, how does a plug
wiggle out? But I'm gonna give you that. Now.
Speaker 4 (01:57:58):
Here's the thing. It's behind a dresser, so there was
no wiggle room per se the plug because of the prongs,
pulling it out barely made clearance. And again it's behind
the dresser, so me.
Speaker 1 (01:58:19):
Nobody moved the dresser by accident to do something. No,
you sure?
Speaker 3 (01:58:23):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (01:58:26):
The only thing that could have happened is my grandfather
somehow got on his hands and knees, reached behind the
dresser and with two fingers wiggled to plug out.
Speaker 1 (01:58:42):
That's what happened, brouh.
Speaker 3 (01:58:47):
Okay, Because here's the thing, I said, somebody unplugged. I
was like, what the fuck?
Speaker 4 (01:58:51):
My brother was with him death Sunday. Why would my
brother do this? The following day, Monday evening, we went
to my mom's house. My wife got there before me.
They're talking to Lucy, how did everything go? Oh, yeah,
your brother had a problem. She's telling my brother, your
(01:59:12):
brother had a problem. Turning on a TV showed me
how to work because it was unplugged, and my wife said,
oh yeah, he told me that, Rick, why did you
unplug it?
Speaker 3 (01:59:21):
I didn't unplug it. It wasn't unplugged. Lucy said, no,
it was unplugged. I didn't do it. Bro.
Speaker 1 (01:59:33):
Could it be bullshit? You could he be like a
prank like I got him and now he's worried because.
Speaker 4 (01:59:40):
He's not a prankster. I mean, and that's kind of
a dumb prank. I mean, it's not like he did
it to me. He would have pranked my grandfather.
Speaker 3 (01:59:46):
I mean, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (01:59:48):
Yeah, Bro, Now, either that night or the following night
we're talking about this, or we know, we were talking
about something at my mom's kitchen table at dining room
table excuse me, danning room table has a fan and
a light.
Speaker 3 (02:00:03):
You know, a ceiling fan has a light.
Speaker 1 (02:00:05):
The light was on.
Speaker 3 (02:00:06):
We were talking.
Speaker 4 (02:00:09):
The fan all of a sudden starts going, I shit,
you not kid. The fan automatically just turns on. And
my brother says, you see somebody's ear you dog my
mom's house on it. That's the only thing I can say.
Speaker 1 (02:00:27):
What if the motherfucker goes to Puerto Rico with you, and.
Speaker 4 (02:00:29):
We say it's my my stepfather, my mom's you know,
my kid's grandfather. I should say, I shouldn't say like that,
but I mean, that's he's my stepfather.
Speaker 3 (02:00:40):
But no, that's grandfather, my kids dog. He's in the
house kid. What else could it be?
Speaker 4 (02:00:48):
And again I'm talking, squeeze your hand behind the dresser
down to the plug and unplug it.
Speaker 1 (02:01:01):
Have you ever sat down in that room and be like, hey,
is this my Are you stepped out? Are you here?
Can you make a noise? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:01:09):
Are you making Noah? This is wild, bro.
Speaker 2 (02:01:13):
One of the mothers responded, Would you like, okay, well
I gotta go buy my mom.
Speaker 3 (02:01:18):
You know what, we probably should try that one day.
Speaker 1 (02:01:21):
Now we fucked out. I want nothing to do with
that shit.
Speaker 4 (02:01:24):
Fuck that bro, I dude, there is no It had
to be my grandfather doing it, because you know he's
one hundred and three or one hundred and two.
Speaker 3 (02:01:34):
He'll be one hundred and three, bro, he repeats himself.
Speaker 4 (02:01:39):
He'll get up towards the evening, he'll confirm that the
door is locked, like five times. You know what I'm saying, right, So,
is it some old people shit to unplug something because
you know watching it? Yeah, okay maybe, but to get
to it is my my only The only reason I
doubt it is because they actually get to it.
Speaker 3 (02:02:01):
It would have been tough.
Speaker 1 (02:02:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:02:04):
Yeah, you know what he does in the bathroom has
got you know, above the mirror. It's got one of
those light fixtures as let's say, four bulbs, five bulbs, right, Yo,
he unscrews four of him and he only has the
one that works, so he could save our electricity. That's
the type of shit he does.
Speaker 1 (02:02:23):
Yeah, he unblugged it. Okay, did you.
Speaker 3 (02:02:28):
Have a point?
Speaker 4 (02:02:30):
And it has to be the reason why it happened.
But he's he's frail, you know what I'm saying. He
can't get on his knees. Now we're back there and
unplug it.
Speaker 2 (02:02:42):
I ain't nobody around, and he wants to do some
ship he can get on his hands and knees and
and do it. He's not gonna like it, but he'll
do it. I know because I've done it. I gotta
get down in it for a fucking that.
Speaker 1 (02:02:58):
Let's go, let's get it.
Speaker 4 (02:03:02):
But he's never done it before, and it hasn't happened since.
But I'm not I'm I'm literally I have to agree
he did it. There is no other rationale. But who
turned on the ceiling fan?
Speaker 3 (02:03:19):
Mhm?
Speaker 1 (02:03:20):
Whoever had the remote?
Speaker 3 (02:03:21):
There was no remote, so the switches on the wall.
Speaker 2 (02:03:25):
Yeah, well maybe you had. I'll give you the number
to my electrician. Some faulty in the wirens and some
faulty in the wire fucked that.
Speaker 4 (02:03:35):
Well, the because it's old school, meaning it used to
be like a channelier and it was a fan they
bought and they had to get it like a transmitter
that they put it on the top right and the
switch on the wall like it just gets power. But
there's like a look, let's say a mini antenna in
(02:03:55):
it that connects to the antenna that's in the so
it ain't like it's hardwired per se. So something cross
signals and the antenna caught the signal to turn on.
Speaker 2 (02:04:08):
But come on, bro, that's a stretch. But you just
said all that ship was like a stretch. But I
get what you're saying, because it could happen.
Speaker 1 (02:04:18):
Fuck. Or maybe you just need to change batteries in
the fucking remote.
Speaker 4 (02:04:23):
It doesn't take batteries it's you know, the antenna in
the wall is hardwired, just like the antenna in this
ceiling fan is hardwired at the base where it touches
the wall.
Speaker 2 (02:04:34):
Huh, you're making you're making it for difficult for me
to explain why this should happened, Tony, I'm gonna buy
you a Wuiji ward.
Speaker 1 (02:04:44):
Do you go ask some questions? Fuck that. Do we
have any birthdays or anything coming up?
Speaker 3 (02:04:51):
Yes? Who's this coming Saturday?
Speaker 4 (02:04:55):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (02:04:57):

Speaker 1 (02:06:00):
Nice man, great show today. I'm glad that we were
able to come back.
Speaker 2 (02:06:05):
We're you know, I'm not gonna say anything about trying
to get back on fucking point because we.
Speaker 4 (02:06:10):
Got to though, because I mean, bro, in the last
three weeks, I could have spin all kinds of shit out. Yeah,
I mean, the the Caragon trip alone probably had another
twenty stories a day.
Speaker 2 (02:06:20):
Right, Well, we'll come back. We'll do again, next to

(02:06:43):
again and love you, and we'll see you soon.
All right, everybody, welcome back to the side show.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
My name is Mingo is Tony dude, Like we're like
the once a month showdown. The fuck is going on?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
I can't believe it's been three weeks actually.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
And what's funny is it?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Well, it kind of flew by until like the end
of last week, and then I was like, oh shit,
wait a minute, it's been a minute.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
And last week was my bad too, I mean my dog.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Well, there's just been a lot of things that kind
of just life just happened, like you had, like you know,
life's been kind of throwing you curveballs and on top
of your all your vacations.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Yeah, we could talk about that. But last week.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
I had to dump some money again on this damp
and I shouldn't say, damn dog. She's a member of
our family.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
How long have you had this dog?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
She's like seven years old now, so that means she's
like forty forty nine.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Okay, so let's just let's stick with the seven year number.
You've had another surgery with this dog? Correct, earlier like
two years ago? Three years ago? Yes, and that was
a couple of grand right.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
You know that one was more expensive. It was yes, okay,
reason because well it was more expensive than this one
I did last week, okay, like almost double if I
remember right.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
And which one was more of a life saving event?
The first one or.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
This one more of a life saving?
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yeah, well they weren't necessarily life saving, but this one was.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
More savings depleting.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Maybe that's maybe maybe that's the right word I'm looking for, because.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Making sense to me.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
But this one was was more severe, I'll say, okay,
because it was affecting our home.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Okay, she had this big not on her back.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
It was a fatty tissue, fatty cist I guess wasn't
hurting her.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
So like humans get those two and and they grow
and it usually takes a long time for them to
get big enough for you to be like god, damn,
maybe we should do something about it.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
It was get it got to that point, so like
a month ago.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
How long has has Peanut been dealing with this?
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Probably I'll guesstimate a year or a little longer.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Okay, she she had this fatty it started off the
size of a marble hump on her back. Uh, you know,
no big deal. Almost looked like somebody shot her with
a BB gun. And a BB just was right on
those gun.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So did you go to the doctor then, and and
and ask, okay, is there a way to change that?
Because obviously, you know, it was a it was a
fatty tissue and a lot of times they or what
they call a fat sack, and it stores fat differently
than other parts of your body, and it's almost like
a balloon under the skin that stores fat. So did
(03:16):
you go to a doctor and they said, hey, well
you could do this this and changes change peanut's diet
like this.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
When it when it first happened, Yeah, no, okay?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Uh what did she go for the vet to the
vent for recently or I should say a couple of
months ago?
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I think maybe her ears were messing with her okay?
Was that it?
Speaker 4 (03:38):
I think it was she was having problems with her ears,
like constantly shaking, you know, her head, like scratching her
ears all the time.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Was it like yeast infections that I have?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
No, I don't remember what it was, okay, but we
were going to this vet in Palm Springs, which is
mistake number one.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
The zip code.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Woy's from expensive.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Yes, okay, And it was a you know, it was
one of those what are it VCA hospitals, dog you know,
veterinary hospitals. Okay, so it was, you know, but again,
we just did it to get her shots.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
And what did you want to go to, like a
fucking grandma does it in her garage?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Was not really certified.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Okay. Well, the first time she had these cysts which.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Was growing on the side of her leg, it almost
looked like brain matter was coming out, like it was bubbly,
you know, and it was like on the side of
her leg, and it got nasty and she had cut
it open, so it started bleeding.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
So we took her in and that was like.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Your dog, your dog head leg hamboids.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
That's exactly what it looked like. But this one didn't
look like that. This one was just straight up like
a ball growing under underneath her skin. So when it
got to the size of let's say, a golf ball,
God damn that big. Yeah, that's when we took her
in for her ears. Oh and allow me to bypass something.
(05:07):
We changed vets. Somebody had a friend of my wife's
had told us about a VET in Indio. So it's
a little bit of a drive. But when you said
grandma working out of her house. Well, this vet it's
like a building on the side of his house. So
you know what I'm saying, it's straight legit. I'm talking files.
(05:30):
I'm talking He's got eight people working vet text, got
a front desk.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
It's all. It's all fucking wallpaper.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
But dude, I mean people are waiting in front of
his yard. He's got benches. You know, he's got little
tins of water for dogs to drink out of.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Look like a fucking dog parking. That's right here exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
So we went to him, had you know, the stuff
her ears. You know, he looked at it. I don't
remember exactly what did which I did.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Gave us medication the whole nine. Maybe it was something
with her legs. Fuck, I don't remember. Now she takes
joint medicine on you know regular.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Damn did she get blood drawn for iron two?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Damn? What did she we have done? I don't even remember.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
But anyways, on old On, So a couple of years ago,
so she was if she sold maybe.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
She was four or I'd say five or six.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Okay, even then, that's what the thirty five.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Thirty five years old? Yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
At thirty five, you spent money to fix whatever the
issue was. And then she got herpies on a leg
and you hadn't have that fixed. How much was the
herbies on a leg?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
That one was like fifteen hundred if I remember, Corregty.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
You cut out say then again it sounded like you.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
On her leg.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah, that was like fifteen hundred if I remember correct.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And it was just one leg. Yeah, did they remove
the leg?
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Well, you know, they put her out, they put her
under for you know, you got to pay for all
that stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Okay, and then so and then the ear problem. How
much was the ear problem?
Speaker 4 (07:24):
That was a few hundred bucks. And if it was
the ear, for some reason, I'm thinking it was her
legs too. I just texted the wife and kids. Maybe
somebody will respond before the conversation's over, before the subject's over.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Oh we're gonna be on this bitch for a while.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
But it was pricially every time we went because it was,
you know, more medicine, give her this, give her ear drops.
We got to give her these joint whatever it was, pills.
I gotta give her pills every night. But what I
was gonna say was when we were there last, I
had asked about it because at that point it was
the size of a colf ball maybe, okay, And they
(08:02):
were and he said, yeah, it's just a fatty tissue.
You know, we could cut it off, stitch it up,
that'd be no problem. And I think at the time
it was like four hundred bucks. But I was like,
he was like, but it's not. It doesn't seem to
hurt her. Dogs get it all the time. It's not
affecting her in any way.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Cool. Well, of course it's still kept growing.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
So six months ago, eight months ago, it got to
the size of a what's the bigger ball?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Small lemon?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Uh, tangerine?
Speaker 4 (08:43):
It got it got good sized, like a tennis ball. No,
not quite a tennis ball, Okay. So we actually gave
it a name. We call it Wednesday because it's her
hump like hump Day Wednesday, So we would actually refer
to it as Wednesday, you know, my Christmas card that
we give out every year. We were gonna get a
little hat and put it on that motherfucker next year.
(09:05):
That's how big it was growing. Well, it got to
the point where it was almost like a tennis ball. Kid,
it was big, and it got so big that the
very top there was no hair anymore.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
It was the skin.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Oh uh, so it was.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
It was a good size, kid, It was like almost
like a tennis ball.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
We got home from work one day last week was
it last week? And bro blood on the walls, blood
in her beds, blood on the couch. Either it popped
or like that morning she ran around and you know
(09:53):
she likes to runner under the shrubs and stuff. Maybe
a shrub cut it and we just didn't notice it because,
you know, we left for work.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Maybe she was mad at you because you guys are
taking all the vacations. Fuck that. These motherfucker's gonna learn
some ship today.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Dog My house, damn near looked like a crime scene.
Blood everywhere everywhere. Kid. We had to put towels on
the couches because she likes to rub her back against
the couches, you know, like scratch your back.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, because she had the bucking a.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Dog. So my daughter happened to be in town at
this point, and she was like, we gotta got to
send her the vet.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
I'll take her, you know, I'll take the day off.
Because ship.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
After it popped, Yo, it reduced in size like by half.
I was like, cool, we're straight.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
You weren't you was sitting there crowding, So we made
an appointment.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
How long does it take for them to see be uh?
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Because this happen let's say on a Friday, and they
couldn't see her until Monday, so they took her on Monday. Kid, Oh, yeah,
we don't have we don't have time to do this today.
We'll have to reschedule for today. But here's one hundred
and forty dollars worth of medicine. Need to start giving
her antibiotics so it doesn't get infected. So we're like,
(11:23):
I did it as my wife that took her a dot?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Or was it my dog? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Let me ask you a question. Hadn't it been you?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
It had to take the dog to the vet, and
they told you, okay, well it's gonna be we can't
do it today. Here's a hundred busy bucks worth of
narcotics to give your dog, you know, And like I
told you a couple months ago, it'd have been four hundred.
But now that it's ruptured and we've got to do
some of the things, gonna be around eight hundred bucks
(11:58):
seven fifty.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
That's around the hair bugs.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Would the diagnosis have been the same when you got home,
or been like, hey, we gotta talk about putting it down, Peter,
that took a turn, or just had it done and
be like, funk, I went to the doctor, Peanut took
a turn for the worst.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
We got to go pick up a new dog.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
No, I wouldn't have done that. She still got some
life in here. Come on, I can't do that. I mean,
I would put her down that she was like in pain.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
You're wallet, You're wallet in pain right ship?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Like, so what would it take? I mean what what
kind of what? What kind of would it be? I
did hold on? Would it be financial severity or would
it be your dog's in pain?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah, we gotta you know, that's that's a given.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Now money wise, is she worth two grand?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Not anymore?
Speaker 3 (13:04):
No, she's still worth two grand.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well you gotta remember hold on, but hold on, remember
you already paid a couple grand before you paid seven
to fifty plus fifteen hundred. But you're that's about a
five thousand dollar dog right now, not to mention what
you had to pay to fix the sprinklers.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Why you got to bring away she's.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Just saying that, wo because we're doing the cost analysis
right now, we're doing a cost analysis right now. All
that plus all the all the food and all the
other and all the time you took it to go
do pictures.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
You know what I say.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
My daughter was going to Europe for the summer. She
was doing like one name study abroad type of deals.
And the night before she was leaving, she was packing
up all her shoes and shit, and Peanut was a
puppy at this point, like tore up some of her
sandals that she was taking and my daughter was.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Hot, kid.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Not better get away on?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Oh, she probably was ready. Yep.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
So let's revisit what I said. We're talking for you're
probably you're probably a good six grand.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Do you can't count food and stuff?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Okay, well even then you're still a sick even just
with just with doctor stuff and and things that you've
probably had to do for the dog over the years.
You're probably you're probably about a six grand a six
thousand dollar dog.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Well, yes, as as other people will be. You know,
you you have a dog, you got there's expenses involved.
Come on, just because you let your damn dog starve
out here, he.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Hurt any trying to put you down. Ship I just it.
It just blows my mind like I could for another
human being. I guess I can see, but I you know,
I've never I've never shared my affection for an animal
like that.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
So well, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Your dog came up looking like mine day one and
left looking like when him if the opening kids you
see on TV asking for money flies on in his
ears and his eyes.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
To one black eye because he wouldn't listen. I get it.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
But what I'm to say is, at a one time shot,
if they were like, yo, it's gonna cost three grand,
I think I'd be like, hold on, let's uh, you
know we're gonna need to discuss this. Two it hurts,
but okay, three, four, five, Well hold on a second.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
So okay, so let let's talk about this very second,
because I know you know you and you and your
wife have things worked out really well and you guys
do things a certain way.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
What what what was the so like?
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Okay, so let's say you wanted to buy something for yourself,
but do you have like.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
One hundred, two hundred dollars limit? And then you got
to discuss it right now, like a five hundred dollars
limit or you just fucking I make my money, I'll
buy what I want.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Okay, Like I'm saying, is there yes, I could buy
whatever I want? But here's the thing, she knows it.
I wouldn't do that. I mean, yes, can I go
We talked about this before. Can I go out and
buy a brand new drum set for ten grand? Financially?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
I probably could, but I wouldn't. I mean that, you know,
I don't need a ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yeah, you don't even play with the one you got.
That'd be dumb.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
You got a point there, but but yeah, that's what
I saying.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
So like, so like things that you want to buy
or whatever or are considering buying, is there a limit
that the two of you said? Okay, well, come on, honey,
you should have talked to me first. Things that you
have to buy for the house. Maybe, like you know,
when you went to go buy a refrigerator, had you
come home with the refrigerator with the screen in it
and all the Wi Fi and all the send you
(17:12):
text messages because you're low on milk? Like, would she
given like, but you know, we didn't need all that shit,
but come on.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Yeah, she would have said, that, but she's like songs,
I got refrigerator. If you want to buy, if you
want to spend the money on all them bells and
whistles that we don't need, that's on you. But the
thing but here's the thing, I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
What about what about if she gets the urge to
go buy I don't know does Balenciaga make bags if
she wanted to go by herself.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Or she couldn't do that?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Was that you putting your foot down or are you
just saying like like.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
That was a natural reaction?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Right?
Speaker 3 (17:53):
But no?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
What I mean like, I'm giving you the chase to
get out of it, bro, because that came out your
mouth real quick.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Well, them bags are like twenty fifty grand. Come on, No,
I mean, and she knows we are not in that lane,
you know what I'm saying. We are not there so close?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Okay, So if she wanted to buy a two thousand
dollars bag, would she need to call you first to
be like, hey, maybe I'm thinking about buying this.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I don't know if I should.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Would she need to?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
No?
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Because she wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Tony set that bullshit aside and answer the question.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Well, it's hard to answer, because that's not that's not us.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Okay, At what point would she need to call you?
Then there's got to be a dollar five hundred bucks,
So she doesn't need to call you for a two
thousand fucking dollar bag.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
But if she's gonna spend five hundred bucks, she need
to call you.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
No, no, no, anything over five hundred. She'd be like, yo,
I want this? Is this? How much is gonna cost?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Okay? Do you feel like you like you would do
the same.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Almost definitely, I'll do it for something that's one hundred
bucks one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Bucks, yeah, but you cheat than them up. Yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
So when it came to peanut okay, and doctor said
shouldn't have waited? Is seven fifty doin? Plus you know
your medicines, you'd be like, oh shit, hold on, I
gotta call a wife.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
No, you're just like, okay, no problem.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Well she did, Yes, she took you down.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Did she call you and be like like, baby, it's
it's it's seven hundred and fifty bucks.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
No, it's more like maybe it's seven fifty and she's
going in on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Oh no, excuse me.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
She goes in on Wednesday, and it's going to be
seven fifty, so she's going she's getting surgery done.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
You need to have seven fifty ready by Wednesday, big.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Buck out exactly. That's how it goes.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
M And and you said that two thousand would have been like, yes,
can we just put some band aids on it?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I was trying to put some band aids on it before.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yo.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Yeah, like the little ones said reduced, Let's squeeze that
motherfucker and spring it down to zero super glue. Squeeze
the rest of it out, and hey, wrap her up.
I watched doctor Piple Popper. Just make sure you got
gloves on in the mask. I'll pour alcohol all over
these staples and staple that mum together.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Oh that dog would have fucking bit the fuck out
he ports all that shit.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
It's funny because uh.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Uh, while my daughter was here before she got it removed,
like because it was bleeding, like I said, so, my
wife would tell my daughter, yo, while we're at work,
you need to pat it, you know, so you know,
soak up some of the blood. And my daughter said
would look at her like you better not even think
about touching me, and she was like, yeah, okay, all right,
(21:06):
I'm good. I feel you. She just said, shit, that
looked like, yo, you're not coming near me. But I
was like, okay, but I mean when my wife will
get home. She pat her down, and you know she
wouldn't do nothing.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I thought you were gonna tell me you guys were
feeding them fucking some gummies and ship your dog all
fucking you.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Know what, we probably should have done that. To be
honest with.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
You, I wonder, I wonder if the dog haven't weed
had any of that any effect on the growth of
that thing.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
No, this was before the weed. They say it's common, Yeah,
it happens. But here's the other issue. She got like
a couple more than little bumps everywhere. That's how this
they all started.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
And their natural us dogs get them apparently, so you
know you change them with your dog from well it
should be uh chunky us some of our gun lumps
all over.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
But that was last week. That's why we couldn't record
because when.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
You were available, and I really was available up until
the night before we took her in. We took her
in at ten o'clock in the morning. Again, I had
to drive all the way Indio to take her. That dog,
I got a problem driving here, so let's be real, Indio,
(22:34):
I'm looking at my watch to see if time has changed.
I'm going so far, but anyways, drop her off at
ten point thirty. My wife was gonna pick her up
after work. My wife called them after work. Yeah, we
haven't even gotten to her yet. We had a busy
day to day. We're gonna do it. We're gonna her
surgery's gonna be like in an hour, so you guys
(22:57):
can pick her up and tomorrow we'll keep her over
no charge.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
And I was like, damn.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
So when you wanted to record the following day, I
was like, yo, I can't be cause I got to
pick up this dog after I get done work and
I don't even know how.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
That's gonna go.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Right.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
So when I picked her up, kids, she they shaved it,
you know, the area on her back, and she got.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
A scar that's probably a good four inches long.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
And what makes it even nastier is the stitches almost
look like they're made out of yarn. Yeah that's sick,
I guess because obviously it's a dog running around.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yo.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
It looks nasty, it sounds nasty. Dog, it's nasty looking.
Oh and then she got to get the stitches removed.
They ain't like the joints.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Oh bro, have you run stitches?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Nope?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
When they take them out, it's a trip, Like you
can kind of feel it, just like it doesn't hurt.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
But when they pull that thread out, I did. I
don't know. I don't know if other people did, but
I did. I felt it when they pulled that little
string back out.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
The trip is crazy.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Mm so.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
About six grands seven grade is what you're sitting on.
I let's start calling your dogs. I wouldn't say that.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
They say twenty five hundred. Well, and then we got
her fixed of course, you know when she was a puppy. Okay,
how much was that I don't remember, But I wasn't free,
that's for sure. Then all her shots, uh.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
The shots were free? Right? Hell no, dogs don't get
shots for free.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Why would they get shots for free?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
My dog got shots for free. But I went to
the county thing, so you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Oh yeah, yeah, my dog. I mean we too uppity
for that.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, we were sitting in the waiting room with dogs
like on crack and shit.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
I mean, I mean we got to did the lobbies plush?
You know, the waiting room with you know, you sit
with your dog.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
It's nice. Plus I mean, don't get me wrong, a
new spotty like that. But that's all right.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Well, you know it's cool though.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
You go to the county, you walk out and it's
like going to the colony hospital. You walk out with
like with like diapers and bags of chow and you
go out. You're like all kinds of shit like cool,
all kinds of free streets and kinds of ship for
the dog.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Well, now what she does is she's like normal. She
thinks she normal. She gets on her back and starts
wiggling around. She's still pushing her back up against the couches.
We got a shirt on her.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Oh that shit gonna well what her hair grows back,
it's gonna itch even more.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yeah, well, we got a T shirt on her, and
two days ago, I think it was Monday.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Yo, she's like opening it up.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
It's like the T shirt is getting blood on it,
and we can't stop her from doing. We yelled at her,
but she's like shit, fuck you guys.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
You gotta get her high, dude. I'm telling you just so.
She's lethargic for a couple of weeks. Then you gotta
wean her off slowly because we're not. She's gonna get aggressive,
but she's good. Guess what, dude, I've joined. I've joined
the solar community.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
They came. They came this morning and flipped it over.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
No shit, congratulations, bro.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I started this process in October of twenty twenty three,
a year and a half. And you know what's funny,
hear me out a year and a half, okay, I
(26:55):
I signed the contract. Within three days, somebody was here,
put a new panel, ran all the wiring, and mounted
all the panels on my roof.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Hold on, when was that.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
October of twenty twenty three? Oh?
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Okay, all that.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Shit was done in October, and then we played the
game with a pool. Finally give into that fixed all
that shit? Well, then the fucking first company they sent
out wasn't calling me back, and they couldn't get shited
fixed through the through the county. Every time there was
an issue, I had to go to the county office
(27:37):
and try to get it fixed. Okay, So I kind
of got everything squared away, had an issue with the
company called my solar company, and I went upside somebody's ass.
I don't know, well, they switched out companies that was
doing my installation, and then a couple of days of
(28:00):
that phone call, I got a call from a new company. Hey,
we're taking over blah blah blah. Can you kind of
tell us where we are, what's been done from your
perspective so we know. Alright, cool, So this happened while
you were gone, while we were on our hiatus. Do
you remember, matter of fact, that happened while we were
on the motherfucking air where the AC came on and
(28:24):
it would kick off the power to the house. Yes,
so I id came out to switch the meter.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Reader so that there was a sent and receive.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Well they had to turn the breakers off when they
do that so the guy doesn't get shocked.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
All right, cool, I might work.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Then the dude calls me back, Hey, it's all set.
I was able to put in the new meter with
no problem. Oh well there was a problem. I was like, fuck,
all right, what's up? He said, well, you know when
I take it out, I have to turn off the breaker. Yeah,
he said, well, when I went to turn the breaker on,
(29:14):
the breaker snapped, so it's broken half and sent me
a picture of it, and it was broken so I'm like,
all right, he says, And there's no power to your
house because that was like the main breaker, he says,
(29:34):
And I ID is not responsible for that, so you know, unfortunately,
you're gonna have to find somebody to come out and
fix that for you. I'm like, bitch, I'm gonna work
like I can't be on the phone trying to find
somebody to come out and fix my my uh my switch.
(29:55):
And who the fuck's gonna pay for it? Well you
know that that it'll be something that you have to
call the company on. Blah blah blah blah blah. I'm like, motherfuckers,
all right, cool, cool, thank you, you know, no problem,
blah blah blah. Appreciate you coming out and doing that,
blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
So then.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
I come home, I finally find somebody to come out
and fix it, dude, And the dude was gonna you know,
it's after hours, bro, so you're gonna get done because
the cost is that much more expensive.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Here, that's what the breaker looked like.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Oh yeah, I remember, Oh yeah, I showed you guys.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Huh yeah. So then.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
So then, uh, I'm battling with him right now.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Who's gonna pay for the breaker right now.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Yeah, because what happened was is I called, and it's
gonna sound really wrong, and I don't mean this and
any kind of racist way.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
But if you take it that way, fuck.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
It because you meant to dead way. Let's be honest.
Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
No, it's not that I mean it. Race is just
a pain in the ass.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
So I I called and it was a Filipino character
of the answer to the phone, and.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
He had a really, really thick accent. Now I know.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
That I'm really good with Filipino people that have a
really thick accent. One of the kids that I trained
when I was at Aaron's Filipino kid, super thick accent.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Great kid. Learned a lot.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
This guy was either not fucking listening to like like
he was like on his phone listen, huh uh.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
And then I stopped talking. Oh I'm sorry, what were
we saying? But the fucker. So anyways, I had a
really hard time and I I just fucking blow up.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Well, look, dude, fuck that. If you're not gonna any help,
I don't know, I don't want to deal with you.
Get us some bread on the phone. Oh well, there
are no supervisor availables. How the fuck you run a
business with those supervisors available?
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Man? Fuck off? So I hung up. I was in
the wrong.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
It should have acted that way. But October of twenty
twenty three, just remember that. So anyways, I hadn't dealt
with the actual solar company.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Okay, hold on, what about that was racist? Do you
think I mean just because.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
He was Filipino and I had a really hard time
understanding him. So I didn't want anybody to think, Oh,
you're just a fucking because you can't understand fellow fucking Filipino.
I speak bitty good Pino.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
I know how I Joey Koy love him.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Joy is all right? Fuck throwing a bunchet dugs right now.
So So anyways.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I I called a new company that they had sent
out to fix. Hey, listen, I talked to you guys
about this in the beginning that I've had an issue
with this, says they switched this out. It never happened
to me before. But once they came in, they put
panels up, and they did all that shit, and they
switched it all out.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
I was having issues.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Well, you're gonna have to call the company that you
were dealing with before. Because if they did it, that's
their responsibility. Well, they're not going to fucking do anything.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
I said.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
I had them since October of twenty twenty four or
twenty three, and they didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I've told them at least four or five times, well
what the fuck was going on? And they didn't seem
to give a shit. That's why we are where we are.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Oh, well that you're gonna have to call back your
solar company and let them know and let them divide
to decide.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
All right. So I called again, got another Filipino kid,
explain it all to them, and.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
I, you know, I feel like when I explained it
to them, like I thought before, I called it, okay,
well let's give the information, get it in your head,
give it to him in succession. That way, you're not
oh well, what I meant was and keep going back
because you're going to confuse a person. Just lay it
out the way you mean to say it and get
(34:16):
your point of drugs.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
So I was very direct. I was very YadA, YadA, YadA,
this is what happened.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
I've done this, I've done that, these are the steps
I've taken to remedy the situation. So he tells me
the guy on the phone, Oh, well, we don't deal
with that. We have another company that.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Deals with installation issues. Okay, he says, but first.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
You have to submit pictures of the of the blow
and breaker and all that to support.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
And they'll decide what they're gonna do. But you can
also call this company because about the two hunder bucks,
because that's who they deal with, all right, So I
called that company that.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Yeah, I don't know what that dud was talking about. Bro,
he says, we only we only we only uh you know,
we're twenty four hours a day for uh once it's
been switched on, and it's shit that we've done. We
have nothing to do with that, he said. But you
know what said, I understand, it's frustrated. Let me let
(35:27):
me make some notes, made some notes and even like again,
I explained it in succession and even afterwards he was
like trying to read it back to me, and I'm like, no, this, this, okay,
is there anything else I missed?
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Yeah, this, this and this okay. So he fixed all
of his notes, and I called back my solar company.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
And uh total gave my name address all that. Okay, Yeah,
I see your account said, do you see any notes? No, sir,
I said, all right, well, then you probably want to
get a supervisor. Well, you know, we do have supervisors
on the line. Sometimes sometimes they're not available, sometimes they are.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
But I am I am a lead. I think I
can help you out.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
I said, well, this is gonna be about the eighth
fucking time I explained myself, and uh, the reason why
I ask for a supervisor because I'm going to act
in a way that you may not get paid for.
That's a good way and uh and I don't want
to unleash that on you if you're not getting paid
to do that any kind of chuckle. He says, no, sir,
(36:38):
I you know I am like the first step supervisor,
so I would have to do that anyways.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Blah blah blah. Okay, you asked.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
For it, I said, Now, I said, you don't have
any notes, So I'm gonna explain it one more time.
I said, so, do you have a pen and piece
of paper or whatever you need to take notes? Because
it's gonna get ugly. I said, okay, all right. Mid
October twenty twenty three, and I gave him the host
Biel and he kind of he got it almost all right,
(37:11):
missed a couple of things. Well, while I was talking
to him, I got a text from the new contract company.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Hey, you know, give us a call back.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
We were trying to get in contact with you, which
is bullshit because it would be all over them my
phone if you were trying to get in contact with me.
But I get it. So I told him, I said, well,
they're calling me. They just called it or sent me
a text from the new construction company. They want me
to call so they can come and commission in the system.
He said, okay, good, that's a good start. I said, well,
(37:45):
I'm not going to get off the phone until we
figure out who's giving me back my two hundred dollars
because I'm not paying for it. You guys can cut
me a check, or you can give me some sort
of credit on my pay I said, but I'm not
paying for that, and you're not gonna tell me. Oh, well,
you need to call so and so because I didn't
choose that company. You guys chose that fucking company to
(38:07):
come and do my installation. And again, if this started
on October twenty three and now it's fucking almost May
of twenty twenty five, and I still don't have motherfucking
solar on. So I'm not paying two hundred dollars for
that issue because I've called and spoke to several people
about that situation.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Totally understand sir. We'll go ahead and get that taken
care of.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
I'm gonna make that, make a note of it, and
you're right, it shouldn't be your responsibility.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
We'll get it taken care of.
Speaker 4 (38:37):
Cool.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
So they send me a note about an email about what.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
They're gonna do and how they're gonna take care of
the two hundred bucks.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
So I'm all right. Cool.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
So now I got solar and I'm gonna get my
two hundre bucks back, and they're gonna send somebody out
to make sure that that street connection is correct.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
At what point is it the homeowner's responsibility?
Speaker 4 (39:06):
And I'm you know, obviously we're talking about you, but
it could be happened to anybody. Does their old equipment
that just happened to fail.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
When it was being worked on? At what point does
that become the homeowner's responsibility?
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (39:28):
So, so had I id come out and put that
in and it broke and I hadn't had that issue
since October twenty twenty three. Had I not called several
times to that company regarding that.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
Issue regarding the breaker tripping, correct, Okay.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Okay, I'll get it taken care of, and that would
have been my issue, because.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
It's an older house, just made of plastic, it's running
fucking hot current, and it's one hundred and twenty degrees outside.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Like you're I get it, Uh, but fuck no, not
in this case. I'm not.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
I'm not eating that shit because I've called and I've
made contact and I've made phone calls strictly regarding that happening.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
And if they were to tell you the reason it's
happening is because it's an old breaker and it should
be replaced.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
You're right, and you should have replaced it when you
added the panel, because that's part of the contract.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
How's that part of the contract.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Well, because if you're gonna, if you're gonna put in
a panel, okay, or they should have addressed it with
me when they did that, because like, let's say you take.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
Your car in to get something fixed.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Okay, Okay, Hey, we're gonna we're gonna, you know, change
out these things. But understand, it's an older car things
are made a plant. Sometimes these clips break now most
of the time a lot of places, it's cheaper just
to buy the piece and fix it. It's twenty bucks
(41:12):
to buy the little clip, fix it and move forward.
Sometimes it's a it's a bigger a fuse or a
bigger relay that breaks. Hey, like we told you earlier,
you know the we Hey, it's twenty bucks more than
we said because the relay broke. You know, it's the
(41:34):
original one that's been in the car since nineteen thirty.
You know, sometimes it fail. Sometimes they break, so we
had to replace that. Okay, I mean you can't. You
can't hold somebody accountable when you bring in something that's
so the guy in brittle.
Speaker 4 (41:50):
So the guy that exchanged your meters. Had he called
you and said, hey, there's a problem here. You have
a very This is one of the original breakers that
came with the house. When we did the work and
went to go turn it back on, the breaker broke.
But it's not our fault is due to the age
of the breaker. Would you have accepted that because you
(42:12):
just accepted it in the scenario of the car, is it?
Speaker 3 (42:17):
In other words, had he worded it differently.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
No, because it's not.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
It wasn't that it was if I had not been
having the problem with it once they switched it, So
if it hadn't been blowing since October of twenty four.
Speaker 1 (42:36):
Oh so you're you think, Oh no, I don't think.
Speaker 4 (42:39):
I know you you think because it kept tripping that
weakened it to the point to where now it finally broke.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Well, let me show you a picture of the breaker
next to it that you could see where it was
arcing and has caused a problem for the breaker next
to it, that one needs to be changed as well.
Speaker 1 (43:09):
So, yeah, do I think it's an issue?
Speaker 2 (43:14):
Is it my fault? I don't do fucking electricity. I
wasn't back there. I wasn't back there fucking around with
the panel box. So no, that would be the people
that came and switched this ship. Pretty simple, right, Yeah?
(43:38):
Are you saying are you saying I'm wrong?
Speaker 3 (43:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (43:46):
How the fuck do you think I'm wrong?
Speaker 4 (43:47):
Because your shit is old. Things happen, especially when you're
trying to work on them. You were trying to do
all these things and the breaker couldn't handle it, all
these additions that you were doing, adding solar panels. All
the work that's being done, your a CS old is drawing,
is pulling more juice out of these breakers.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
Yo, So why didn't they again do their due diligence
and say, hey, you know what, we need to replace
these and now's the time to do it because we're
switching panels.
Speaker 3 (44:26):
You have just said, no it works, No, I don't
need it. I don't need it.
Speaker 4 (44:30):
No is it working, yes, sir, but no, if it's working,
I don't need it. Ahead you know you like hell
how much?
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Wait? Wait?
Speaker 2 (44:43):
Wait, wait, wait wait, those are three dollars fuses and
you want to charge me how much?
Speaker 1 (44:47):
The fuck out of here? I think they should have
done it when they were in there changing the panel.
Speaker 4 (44:54):
You do. You do have a point, mister Lopez. You
know we're gonna be putting all these panels in. We're
gonna be messing with your box. Just an fyi, these
breakers are old. All this equipment is old. Just give
you a heads up. If something were to go wrong,
it's gonna have to get replaced. That because in my
line of work, I do the same thing. Hey, just
(45:16):
to let you know.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
But let me ask you a question.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
Let's say, okay, let Let's say you're gotta switch out
a motor, okay for somebody. So you change the motor,
and the motor vibrates more than the old one.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
I know, probably doesn't happen.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
But I don't know a lot about pool service other
than water and chloring, Okay, So let's say it vibrates
more than the other and when you when you put it,
the motor was a little bit different and the pipe
fitting was more to one side than the other from
the normal one. Instead of just being in the middle,
(46:01):
it's further to the right, causing it to rub another pipe.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
Okay, And you said, well.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
Fucking I'm just replacing this because well, they didn't pay
me to move the pipe, so I'm just gonna fucking
I'm gonna make it fit. So you force the pipe
over just a little bit to connect to the new pump,
tighten everything down, and you leave. You see it shaken,
but you're like, that'll be fine. So the guy's back
(46:31):
in his backyard swimming, the motors turn on. It's like, wow,
that's fucking vibrating a lot. Hey, mister Pacheco, Yeah, this
is Bob fucking pays a lot for one of your customers.
You came, mean you replace the motor, but their motor
it seems to shake a lot more than my other one.
And I hear clacking on the pipes. Hey, no, no
(46:55):
big deal. I saw that too. It should be fine.
You shouldn't have an issue.
Speaker 3 (46:59):
Wow, okay, cool.
Speaker 2 (47:03):
Hey A couple days later, Hey, you know, maybe you
can send somebody out to take a look at it,
just to make sure.
Speaker 1 (47:09):
I'm sure it's fine. I do this all the time.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
I'm a professional, big deal, all right, and begrudgingly gets
off the phone. A couple of months later, Hey, uh,
mister prochecou, my line sprung a leak where the pipe
was tapping on the other pipe. And I think because
(47:33):
of what I was telling you that it was shaking
a little bit more than the than the original motor,
it caused it to break put a hole in the line.
Speaker 1 (47:46):
But I need you to come and fix it.
Speaker 2 (47:50):
And then when you say, okay, cool, yeah, we'll be
out there, and that's five.
Speaker 1 (47:54):
Hundred bucks, Uh for what?
Speaker 2 (48:02):
So whose responsibility would it be yours or his?
Speaker 3 (48:08):
His?
Speaker 1 (48:09):
You get the fucking out of here.
Speaker 4 (48:10):
It would be his because it was working when I left.
It wasn't leaking when I left. It was fine when
I left. Now here's here's where you went wrong in
that scenario. Okay, hey, mister Picchecko, you would just uh,
you just replace this thing and it's vibrating. Could you
come out here and take a look. I would have
(48:31):
never said, yeah, I noticed that too. I'd been like, sure,
I'll come take a look.
Speaker 3 (48:38):
Come.
Speaker 4 (48:38):
Oh shit, you know what, because it is new motor,
it's causing this to rub da da da. You know
we're gonna have to cut this all out. It's gonna
be five hundred bucks. That's how I would have played that.
Speaker 1 (48:51):
So what you're saying is.
Speaker 2 (48:54):
That you would have left that job knowing that you
were gonna fuck this dude at five hundred bucks down
the road.
Speaker 4 (49:01):
No, but you're okay with it because you know, well,
it's working when I left. Okay, when i'm I see it,
it's working. It's not quite how it was. But you
know what, this is what they paid me to do.
They paid me to install this new pump. This is
what they wanted. I gave him all the ins and
(49:22):
outs about it.
Speaker 1 (49:24):
Okay, So I'm gonna say this for you.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
Just in case you're listening and you're looking at your
radio like, what a douche he's just fucking around. Tony
would not do that. He's trying to play the bad guy.
Just he wouldn't. He would not do that.
Speaker 4 (49:43):
It depends on how obvious it is, really, of course,
because let's say let's say I'm dealing with somebody like
you did. I know, we ain't gonna pay me to
five hundred dollars to do something on top of what
I've already done.
Speaker 3 (49:56):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
I'd have been like, well, why the fuck didn't you
buy the same motor? Why'd you buy? I mean, you
saw it.
Speaker 4 (50:01):
Was they don't make it anymore because your ass wouldn't
have bought you. You wouldn't have upgraded it until it
broke down.
Speaker 1 (50:08):
That's cool.
Speaker 2 (50:09):
Why don't you just put an elbow on that ship
and extended over a little bit.
Speaker 4 (50:13):
Well, I don't get me wrong, I've done every effort
to make it right. But at one point in time,
at one point during this, you're gonna have to say,
this just ain't gonna work. So what are we doing here?
We believe it? Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (50:32):
I get what you're saying. I get what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (50:34):
But I kind of get what you're saying too, except
you know, shit does get old and shit.
Speaker 3 (50:41):
Just don't work. Well, you're right, but and you one
of those guys that was working before you got here.
Speaker 2 (50:47):
Right, Well, well, the thing is well and more than that,
it's it's because they've come out and said, hey, you
know what, I'm glad that you called us about this.
Speaker 1 (50:56):
We didn't see it.
Speaker 2 (50:58):
You know what it was, it's been having a problem
prior to us coming. It wasn't enough draw to blow it,
but you could see where it was already having an issue.
We can go ahead and change it for you, but
we're gonna, unfortunately, we're gonna have to charge you to
do that. That's different. Because I called and I was
(51:19):
having an issue was seemingly what you've done.
Speaker 1 (51:24):
Right. You didn't address it.
Speaker 2 (51:28):
You didn't address it before it became a major issue.
Speaker 4 (51:32):
Bro. They probably didn't address it because of you being
such a pain in the asked when with all this
shit going on, I remember, what was it? You was like,
I'm not paying for this some shit with the roof
if I remember right?
Speaker 1 (51:43):
Nope?
Speaker 3 (51:43):
What was it? My pool?
Speaker 4 (51:46):
No, there was something else? Oh yeah, yeah, because oh well,
y'all didn't check the records to see if this pool
was a legal or not.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
You didn't ask there, No, you you didn't ask me
if it was.
Speaker 3 (52:00):
They're like, Yo, we ain't fucking with this dude.
Speaker 2 (52:02):
To watch this guy. Watch this guy. But dude, that
was like that was even before that. I like, like
right away that you know how they said, no, we
don't see no notes.
Speaker 3 (52:16):
Oh they saw some notes.
Speaker 2 (52:18):
Yeah, they shyster careful wants everything free. Fuck, dude, you
know I don't Again, I don't think I'm had it.
Had they addressed it in the beginning.
Speaker 3 (52:37):
Yeah, you do have a point. You know, this is old.
I'm gonna let you know right now.
Speaker 4 (52:42):
You know, I'm not sure how it's gonna work out
once all his work is done, So just be prepared
it it happens.
Speaker 2 (52:49):
Because all you are quick about coming to get my
money and want want me to pay for ship.
Speaker 3 (52:53):
I'll give you an example. Motors mm hmm.
Speaker 4 (52:57):
The previous motors that we were able to use, which
is a single speed, it turns on, it runs, and
that's it. Now in California, we're required to use these
new smart pumps that change speeds computer systems five times
amount of what a pump would be a motor. If
your motor went bad, we can't replace it. We have
(53:19):
to cut out the whole thing and put it in
this whole new system.
Speaker 3 (53:23):
Jesus okay.
Speaker 4 (53:25):
However, motors have bearings, right, because it's spinning, sometimes those
bearings rush out. It used to be cheaper just to
replace the motor. You get a whole new motor, let's
say three four hundred bucks, where it was gonna cost
you one hundred and fify almost two hundred dollars to
(53:45):
replace the barings cheaper by a new one because I
can replace the bearings, but there's no guaranteed the motor
ain't gonna go out in six months right now, two
hundred bucks to replace some bearings versus two grand to
put it in new pump all right now, now there's
some substantial savings. However, very few guys know how to
(54:08):
do it, very few and very few guys are willing
to take on the job because it's like we have
to take the whole thing apart, the whole motor. We
got to go into into the insides of it. Sometimes
they don't get put back together, basically rebuilding it exactly
and you, we run a chance and it not being
(54:29):
able to get put back together. I have to explain
this to everyone. You say, hear how loud? This is okay.
We can either leave it or replace the whole thing
for two grand, or I could try and fix it
for two hundred bucks. Just be prepared if we can't
put put it back together, because we already cut it out,
(54:51):
you're going to spend two grand? Are you ready to
Are you ready to start this journey with me? If
we can fix it, great.
Speaker 1 (55:00):
Well, the two hundred that I put towards this, will
it go towards my new pump.
Speaker 3 (55:03):
Or you don't get charged for the two hundred if
it didn't work out.
Speaker 1 (55:05):
Okay, Well that's good.
Speaker 4 (55:07):
So just be prepared. So you want me to start?
You got that two grand?
Speaker 3 (55:11):
Ready?
Speaker 1 (55:14):
Let me ask a good question.
Speaker 2 (55:16):
What if I showed up with a pump as a
homeowner to say, well, I can get the pump.
Speaker 1 (55:23):
Okay, you'll be good with it.
Speaker 4 (55:26):
You're paying me in cash and I'm not giving you
a receipt, okay, because you don't I don't know you
after I install it.
Speaker 2 (55:31):
Yeah, because my neighbors down the road they just put
in a new pump. I think it's the one I need.
I'll have it for you tomorrow, first thing in the morning.
Speaker 4 (55:44):
Well, I'm talking more in terms of homeowners. For whatever reason,
the state comes or the city and how did you
get this? That's brand new? You're not allowed to put
this in Oh well you have to have a permit
to put it in the order. No, he should, but
anything over like I think it's five hundred bucks.
Speaker 3 (56:05):
He's supposed to pull a perira, but nobody does that.
Holy shit.
Speaker 4 (56:09):
Really, But like, for example, if you go to sell
the house, okay, the real estate says, hey, how did
you get this? This motive is brand new? Because they
have to disclose to the new owners. Hey, you got
a single speed pump? In California, they're required to have,
you know, a variable speed pump just to let you
know it's they do it.
Speaker 3 (56:27):
I don't know why. Interesting, Hey, why how did you
get this pump?
Speaker 2 (56:32):
And they and they do that because that one kid
got caught at the bottle on the bullers shit right.
Speaker 3 (56:36):
Oh no, those are different types of pumps.
Speaker 1 (56:38):
Those are why do they make give a variable speed?
Speaker 4 (56:41):
Because California doesn't want to waste electricity. There's too much
you know it's cheaper.
Speaker 1 (56:47):
Don't waste electricity. We're all buying electric cars, the fucking idiot.
Speaker 3 (56:51):
In all actuality.
Speaker 4 (56:52):
They do conserve you know, I have it in my house. Yeah,
they do work. I'm not going to deny it. However,
it's gonna take you ten years.
Speaker 1 (57:02):
To recoup your cars.
Speaker 4 (57:03):
Yeah, and in those ten years, is this brand new
motorre gonna go out?
Speaker 1 (57:07):
Jesus, always, always, always something.
Speaker 4 (57:13):
I'll give you another example. Pool lights, Okay, required to
put in LED now on new construction. Okay, why because
LED uses less electricity versus three hundred bulb you know,
in a traditional light. Now you put in LD's twenty
(57:35):
two y's okay, that's number one, number two. Well, no
excuse me. We can still replace the bulbs if a
bulb goes out.
Speaker 1 (57:47):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (57:48):
However, if your existing pool has a pool light that
has a bulb and it needs a whole new light
because let's say the assembly is bad, I can't buy
a traditional I can't replace it with the same I
have to get an LED, So new construction LED replacing
the entire because they don't sell pool lights with bulbs anymore.
Speaker 3 (58:12):
Okay, then I'll sell the Bellhouse correct.
Speaker 4 (58:15):
Now, come to find out pool lights, well, excuse me.
Pool lights come in three sizes, three hundred watt, four
hundred watt, and five hundred what god damn five hundred wats.
You know you're talking about big pools, commercials, commercial pools,
stuff like that, traditional homes, residential homes. It's a three
(58:35):
hundred white bulb, three hundred assembly, I should say. I
just found out I could buy a four hundred watt
light assembily brand new.
Speaker 3 (58:47):
I can't get it.
Speaker 4 (58:47):
Three hundred wat assembly brand new, but I can't get
it five hundred what assembly brand new. Spas take a
smaller light, and those are hundred watts, I can't get
that one brand new. With a bulb, I get the
equivalence to them. I get an led assembly that's equivalent
to one hundred watts, but it only uses eight gives
(59:11):
the same light output, but it consumes less. It takes
less to use it. Okay, but I can get a
four hundred watt one because what it pulls to run
that four hundred bulb is less than what that bulb
(59:34):
puts out. Geeze some shit like that, like heat wise,
wattage wise. So the four hundred watt is okay because
the math says it's okay. I don't know what the
math is makes no sense to me, but I can
get a four hundred watt bulb assembly because.
Speaker 3 (59:53):
What it pulls to what it gives off is okay.
The math is there.
Speaker 4 (59:59):
Geez, Like the three hundred watt pulls too much power
for the illumins that it gives off, Okay, the five
hundred watt gives off too much heat for the loomans
for the power it's pulling, or some shit like that.
But like the four hundred watt is even with what
it's pulling, what it needs, what it's getting.
Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
I don't know, but just it's just dumb, totally dumb.
Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
Let me ask you can ask you a stupid question.
Of course, it's a super stupid question. I think I'm
used to it.
Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
That was good.
Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
When you change a light bulb in the pool, okay,
do you have to drain the pool below the light
line or do you do it from how do you
change the fucking light bulb with a pool?
Speaker 4 (01:00:44):
It depends on whether the light is placed when it's
originally constructed. Ninety nine percent of the pools they're on
a wall that I could lay down on a deck
and reach down and get to it and then pull
it up. You know, it's only ailed in by a screwy.
You remove that screwed and the screws on top of
the light on the ring, so I should be able
(01:01:05):
to reach down there with a screwdriver while laying on
the deck, unscrew it and then pull the light onto
the deck. And it's a long cord and it's a housing, correct,
it's all. It's like a capsule. However, when the pools built,
sometimes they put them too low.
Speaker 3 (01:01:22):
And we can't reach.
Speaker 4 (01:01:23):
Them, so we have to jump in and undo it
and then put it on the deck. And the worst
part is they'll put them if they put them on
a wall where the.
Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
Spa is like the elevated spayeah. Those are the worst.
Speaker 4 (01:01:40):
Those Sometimes you might have to drain it because you
don't have anything to put the light rest of the
light on. Sometimes it takes two of you, one person
to hold it above water while the other person opens
it up, replaces it and it closes it back down.
Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
I'm trying to how do you not execute yourself? Like
what is the what is the because once you take
that out.
Speaker 3 (01:02:09):
Okay, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
Mean I'm assuming it's not like a huge housing right,
it's it's like a shallow mount.
Speaker 1 (01:02:18):
It's got to be fairly thin.
Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
Yeah, what.
Speaker 1 (01:02:22):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (01:02:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:02:24):
How does it not get watered?
Speaker 4 (01:02:26):
The lid has an O ring and it gets tightened
down by a clamp.
Speaker 1 (01:02:32):
But you're still but you're still running live wires.
Speaker 3 (01:02:34):
To it right when it's turned on.
Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
So how do the wires not get wet when you're
installing it? Is what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (01:02:43):
The capsule is Let's say it's the size of a
what am I look? Let's say the old school TVs
not that big, but the lens is flat, but the
back was fat. Okay, that's what a light looks like.
A cord that's in that comes out of it, that's
completely sealed. So if that TV was sitting, you know,
(01:03:07):
fake in a wall, that the body of the TV,
the back of it was in the wall, and that
the flat part the actual screen is what's you know? Yes,
So you pull completely pull it out and you put
it on the deck. The cord gets wrapped around the
back of it. That's why it'll fit in this in
this hole in the wall. And then you pull it
(01:03:28):
out the you know, the cord because it comes undone,
and then you just there's a clamp holding the lens
or the screen. Once you're gonna do that clamp, you
just remove the screen and then the ball was just
sitting in there.
Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
Got you. That was how they change the light over. Yo.
Speaker 4 (01:03:46):
Like life's a scary kid. Yeah, dude, So especially if
you got to get in and do it well not
I mean the power is off, but it's just yo.
You know, people will get electrocute with that stuff. Nowadays,
the LEDs that I.
Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
Mentioned, yeah, they're they're low voltage. It's fine.
Speaker 1 (01:04:02):
You know, it's like putting a nine volt on your tongue.
Speaker 3 (01:04:06):
I don't even think that much.
Speaker 4 (01:04:08):
I don't even think you feel a tingle, to be
honest with you, if something were to happen.
Speaker 3 (01:04:11):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (01:04:14):
So before we started the show, uh, and I was
doing the hat. The radio station here right had this
young lady on the show. Her name was Emon Fun,
fun persons, great personality, good people. She was just kind
of silly. She was, you know, younger, so there was
things that she didn't know. And we talked about testing
(01:04:37):
a nine bolt battery because our generation we used nine
bolts a lot, right, like they were in the games
that we played and shit like that, right, So I
was like pre triple A and pre double A usage
like there was they like they used them, but not
as much as nine bolts.
Speaker 1 (01:04:57):
Nine bolts, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
Or if you were at home and and you had
that beep down the hall and you had to change
the fucking you had to make sure the night bolt worked.
So jess, in case kids are listening, you only do
this with the ninth bolt, and you don't hold it
on there very long, but you just take the two
the pieces of the metal and you tap him on
your tongue really quick, and it'll give you a little sensation.
Speaker 1 (01:05:21):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
The battery is good, bro, this gold. This girl put
the whole fucking night bolt in her mouth.
Speaker 3 (01:05:28):
The whole battery in your mouth.
Speaker 2 (01:05:37):
Oh, it took me forever. Just fucking stop laughing. Try
to no, no, no, Les's not the way you do that,
you yourself.
Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
Don't do that shit fucking hilarious.
Speaker 3 (01:05:48):
That must a little bad taste in her mouth.
Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
Oh yeah, it had to be terrible. Oh but it
was so fun, dude, Oh my god, she tell you
she was cool. People dude, you won't. So I know
that we we've you know, the last month has been
rocky and we're leaving and doing all kinds of different ships.
Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
So what'd you been up to?
Speaker 1 (01:06:10):
Well? Fuck we after coming back from Utah, I've just
been kind of trying to work and and uh get
used to my new tenant.
Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
Tenant and uh and Milo. Uh, you know that that's
a whole different dynamic.
Speaker 3 (01:06:31):
How are you gonna?
Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
All right?
Speaker 2 (01:06:37):
My li those friends is living with us? About that
it pays to live with us. Look at Tenant. You
know what, he's a cool kid. Dude, he's good, he's good,
and his uh, his demeanor offsets Milo's really really well,
which is helpful because.
Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
Now Milo has somebody.
Speaker 2 (01:07:00):
It's his age. Just like, hey, bro, that ain't cool.
Don't do that, amen, I should pop some talk like that.
Speaker 3 (01:07:09):
You got somebody on your side.
Speaker 2 (01:07:11):
Yeah, that's different than his brother, you know what I mean? Like,
all right, cool, I don't know if he's really on
my size when he's trying to work me for a
fucking rent discount.
Speaker 1 (01:07:21):
I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. But it's been it's
you know, it's been good to just kind of learned
some ship, and.
Speaker 2 (01:07:31):
It was it's been a little bit easier that I
thought it was going to be.
Speaker 3 (01:07:36):
What having a roommate, I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:07:38):
No without without smashion, like I missed him, but not
like not like I thought I would.
Speaker 1 (01:07:45):
Like.
Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
It's weird because I really kind of forced myself to
give him a white berth what to kind of like,
I don't call him.
Speaker 4 (01:07:55):
A wide birth. Yeah I never heard that term used before.
Really a wide birth.
Speaker 1 (01:08:02):
Yeah, no, I don't.
Speaker 3 (01:08:03):
That don't make no sense to me. I gotta I
gotta google that kid.
Speaker 1 (01:08:09):
All right, you're gonna wait. So you know, I just
kind of.
Speaker 2 (01:08:20):
Respecting the boundaries, I guess, and letting him kind of
figure out his deal.
Speaker 4 (01:08:25):
Probably to you white birth ship, I mean knowing what
I'm saying, Shoot, birth is b E r t H
by the way, because I was thinking about your lace, you.
Speaker 3 (01:08:34):
Know, experience.
Speaker 1 (01:08:36):
Oh you think about my own expend legs.
Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
Okay, uh So anyways, you know, just kind of giving
him a chance to live and be who he wants
to be in try not to call him and bother
him and ask him questions and do all that. And
he's kind of like where it.
Speaker 1 (01:08:59):
But you know, you gotta remember that.
Speaker 2 (01:09:00):
Sebastian is also, well, if you don't call me, I'm
not gonna call you, you know what I mean. You want
to know something, you need to call me and ask me.
I'm not gonna just call you and tell you shit.
So it's kind of like, well, fuck, like, how do
I know what I mean? So it's it's navigating new
water in our relationship. But uh, you know, like I said,
I I've done really well about not about not calling
(01:09:21):
him or being up his ass about ship and just
kind of letting him live life and figure it out.
Speaker 1 (01:09:26):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (01:09:26):
Like it's it's it's a it's a whole new world
for him, you know what I mean. So, but he
seems to be doing pretty good. He got a job
within that first week of being there. I mean, he's
still getting phone calls from places that he did apply to. Wow,
and he's and he's still going to interviews have something
better comes along, or if a second job comes along.
(01:09:48):
He said he was ready to start a second job,
and I was like, you had to move fucking three
states away. I've been telling you that ship since y
he's you know, he's doing good up there.
Speaker 1 (01:10:02):
He's learning, he's he's uh, hanging out with his buddy
and and that and that girl. So, uh, that's good, dude.
They went to You're Shooting.
Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
You finally found him self a shooting range close to
home where he can go. The place is beautiful, dude,
absolutely gorgeous. I'd move up there, really, m M. I
told her, Hey, dude, don't fucking trip dude in the
year year and a half. If I'm up here, shit
is gorgeous, dude. But it's cold as fuck, Like it's
(01:10:29):
really cool. Like we went to this place called Shields,
and Shields is like the bass Pro Shop.
Speaker 1 (01:10:38):
Okay, but for men, let that ship sink in. Fuckers.
Speaker 2 (01:10:43):
It's it's fucking it's like a it's like a it's
like a man's Walmart.
Speaker 1 (01:10:52):
Bro.
Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
You walk in and the first level, I would say,
his family and shit like that, like just regular clothing,
not like camel and shit like that. Right, But then
you go upstairs. Excuse you walk in first, and we
start there. You walk in and there's a fucking ferris
(01:11:15):
wheel in the middle of the fucking store. The store
is like a mall.
Speaker 1 (01:11:21):
Tony.
Speaker 3 (01:11:22):
Well, that doesn't sound very manly to me.
Speaker 2 (01:11:24):
It's motherfucker well, that's because it's on the first floor.
So you leave the wife and the kids there, okay,
and then you you know, you move on up and
you you know, the camping and all that kind of shit,
and then the top is where the guns are at. Man, Tony,
California ain't got no kind of guns, bro. The California
(01:11:45):
is bullshit when it comes to the Second Amendment. That
motherfucking place had. There were so many guns like I
had never even like the names and the and the
companies that were making like I had no idea, bro,
And they had guns that were like and that the
gun you play that you use when you're on fucking
the ops, you know. Yeah, yeah, that said this and this,
(01:12:09):
and him and my brother were fucking geeking out, right.
And then so when we getting towards the end of
that section, they, uh, he said, Dad came here, so
I went and he said, all right, so you know,
you're then.
Speaker 1 (01:12:27):
Mentioned a specific gun that they have.
Speaker 2 (01:12:29):
He says, remember your when you when you pulled back
the bolt carrier, which is the part you pulled back
to load the next one and close it, right, So yeah,
remember how it felt. Yeah, he said, try this, bro.
You could just with your index finger pop it up,
and the fucking thing already starts sliding back by itself,
(01:12:52):
pull it all the way.
Speaker 1 (01:12:53):
Back and effortless. Bro. Absolutely, just just like Wow, that's
a fucking well machined piece of fucking artistry. Like it's
fucking They had some badass guns, dude, but you're talking
prices that went along with that ship. But uh, but
it was funny, Yeah, dude.
Speaker 2 (01:13:14):
It was like, all right, so I pay rent on
this day and then I could go I could buy
a gun two weeks later, and then a two weeks
later I pay rent and two weeks after that I
could buy this gun. I was just like, God, damn,
so you need to slow down, need to buy you
a new uh a new safe first.
Speaker 1 (01:13:35):
But yeah, bro, that fucking and the.
Speaker 2 (01:13:37):
Store, like the store had like its own fucking like
you know, the mall has like a like a Lego
place and it is just fucking legos. This had it
had its own like shields beauty section. It had its
own shields Lego place, and they had some asal was something,
(01:14:00):
Oh look at they have all the the like that
not out of date, but that you're like hard to
find uh lego stuff. And I was like Oh that's dope.
He's like, yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna go broke here
and it's only like like like fucking ten minutes from
(01:14:20):
my house or whatever.
Speaker 1 (01:14:22):
Do you know what the Dalut Trading Company is?
Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
Yes? Uh, clothing right right?
Speaker 1 (01:14:27):
Did you know they actually had stores? No?
Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
I thought it was all online probably the same thing
you did, right, Like it was just an internet store.
They had right across the street, in the same parking
lot of Shields, there was a Duluth Trading Company. I
was like, fuck that, we gotta go in there. That
shit is dope. Who because their clothes is dope. Their
clothes like really yeah yeah. Now their underwear all right,
(01:14:58):
because it holds the nuts and cools them all at
the same time. Like they're not whitey tidies, but they're like,
uh like boxer briefs. I guess that what they're called.
But they have but they're they're dyce dude.
Speaker 1 (01:15:12):
Really yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:15:13):
They hold everything really good and there the material breathes
really well.
Speaker 1 (01:15:18):
Hm nice, but they're expensive.
Speaker 2 (01:15:22):
And I walked in that motherfucker and everything in that
store was expected. They had a fucking regular old plain
T shirt. Bro I whenever I under the price. Oh yeah, no,
this store is not for us.
Speaker 1 (01:15:32):
We had to Utah's and money Makers.
Speaker 3 (01:15:37):
What do you mean the stores not you buy their underwear?
Speaker 2 (01:15:40):
Yeah, on the internet. But see, I shopped differently any
thing you do. Whenever I go to a website, I
only shop the clearance section. I wear all the last
year's ship.
Speaker 3 (01:15:51):
I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 4 (01:15:53):
I didn't know webs they had clearance sections on the website. Yeah, bro, really,
I mean I know they have stuff on sale, but
that's like right in your face as soon as you
click on the website.
Speaker 2 (01:16:07):
Yeah, you go to you go to that menu and
it'll say clearance really and then what section do you
want to look at?
Speaker 1 (01:16:14):
And you put it where you want?
Speaker 3 (01:16:19):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (01:16:22):
Hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:16:23):
I used to do that all the time at Macy's
clearance online. Yeah, or even d XL the fat Man
store clearance.
Speaker 4 (01:16:36):
I wouldn't I'll start looking at that. I mean I
don't shop that much anyways.
Speaker 3 (01:16:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
Even like for a while, the only place here in
town to get fat Man closed was jac Pennies if
unless you wanted to go to Walmart, and you can
go to j C Pennies, right, So I go there
and they had they had a pretty good section, and
then I figured out they had clearance online. Please get
two for the same price as that one, the same shit.
(01:17:03):
I'm good, I get me two.
Speaker 1 (01:17:06):
You know what I mean. I'll save a penny where
I can save eybody.
Speaker 3 (01:17:09):
Yeah, I didn't know you shopped like that for underwear.
I didn't know you had it like that.
Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
And I shopped like that for everything. Well, I mean
a clearance. No, No, I didn't buy anything that wasn't
on some sort of sale.
Speaker 3 (01:17:20):
But what's wrong with Haynes I rock Hanes.
Speaker 1 (01:17:25):
By yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:17:26):
You can buy just one to start the Dilute Trading
Company underwear and do it before we record again.
Speaker 3 (01:17:34):
No, and then you cann be like I'm not doing it.
Speaker 2 (01:17:36):
Then you can be like, okay, I get it, telling
you bro, world of fucking difference.
Speaker 3 (01:17:41):
Well I have.
Speaker 4 (01:17:44):
You know, I have my work clothes, which I wear
to work ninety percent of the time because I'm working
most of the time, and then I have my play
clothes or personal clothes. It's like I have a work
truck and I have a personal vehicle.
Speaker 1 (01:17:59):
So your work kind of wear different than your.
Speaker 4 (01:18:02):
Yes, my work socks, my work everything's Oh, my work
underwear is Hanes.
Speaker 3 (01:18:10):
And the rest of them are Stoke No like uh
common cli yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:18:15):
Underwear you know, you know, actually know my personal socks
are Hanes as well, but they're different, like because I
could tell the difference. Like for work, my socks have
like the gray bottoms, whereas personal there is just all white.
Speaker 2 (01:18:29):
So they hold it and they hold that moisture a
little different, right.
Speaker 4 (01:18:32):
No, I just do it because no, you know, yeah,
because I before I did this, it was like when
I would go out and put on a pair of
socks and they're worn, It's like damn.
Speaker 1 (01:18:44):
You know.
Speaker 4 (01:18:45):
So now the personal stuff lasts a lot longer because
I don't use it for work.
Speaker 1 (01:18:50):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:18:50):
You said that, and a bunch of shit just clicked
in my head. Then I stopped doing this, and it's
when things kind of went a little funny for me.
Now then I started thinking about it. But when I
bought shoes, I'd always buy brand new socks and I
wouldn't put on a pair of new shoes with old socks.
Speaker 1 (01:19:15):
But I stopped doing that.
Speaker 3 (01:19:17):
I saved you a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (01:19:19):
Well, my luck went sideways. Was like, hey, wait a minute,
I need to start buying socks when I'm buying new shoes,
and I'll put it to the chest.
Speaker 2 (01:19:26):
I'll go buy a new pair of shoes and new
pair of socks, just to make sure I'm right.
Speaker 3 (01:19:32):
You know, what I just started doing.
Speaker 4 (01:19:35):
I mean when I say I just started because I
just barely came back to work last.
Speaker 1 (01:19:39):
Week, oh from your surgery. Yes, okay.
Speaker 4 (01:19:42):
So what I did was I decided, because we've talked
about this before, that I have a lot of pairs
of shoes. Okay, So, and like my socks and underwear,
I had specific pairs of shoes for work.
Speaker 1 (01:20:00):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (01:20:03):
When I just don't throw away my shoes, my personal shoes,
I just kind of stop.
Speaker 3 (01:20:08):
Wearing them, right, I do.
Speaker 1 (01:20:09):
Sing.
Speaker 4 (01:20:10):
So what I started doing last week for the first
time is my older shoes that are personal that I'm
not really wearing that much, I warn for work, I'm
wearing them for work. So look, Wow, I got my
shell to Adidas with fat laces that.
Speaker 3 (01:20:29):
I'm wearing for work.
Speaker 1 (01:20:31):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (01:20:32):
I'm actually I'm impressed myself.
Speaker 1 (01:20:35):
Well, you know you have to. You have to. I
gotta start going through mine too and make sure they're good.
Speaker 2 (01:20:42):
But uh, if you don't wear your shoes the glue
on them goes bad and they start to come apart.
Speaker 1 (01:20:51):
I don't know if that's ever happened to you.
Speaker 3 (01:20:53):
No.
Speaker 1 (01:20:54):
I have one pair.
Speaker 2 (01:20:55):
Of shoes that I fucking love them, but I can't
find them anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
They don't make them anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:21:02):
So I was wearing them very sparingly, and they started
coming coming the bar.
Speaker 1 (01:21:08):
I gotta take them to a cobbler and have them
a little back down.
Speaker 2 (01:21:11):
But they're a pair of Chucks, but they're they're not
like regular just fucking Chucks. They're they're Converse, but they're
like a black velvet with little red pin starting.
Speaker 1 (01:21:25):
The motherfuckers are bad, bro.
Speaker 3 (01:21:27):
And they're not worn. I mean like worn out.
Speaker 1 (01:21:30):
No, no, no, you could.
Speaker 2 (01:21:32):
I mean you could tell they're used, but they're not
like damn dog, you toss some shit to get some
new ones.
Speaker 1 (01:21:37):
No, not like that.
Speaker 3 (01:21:39):
I've got my my Jordan fours. There are.
Speaker 4 (01:21:47):
Like the ones that my first parent ever bought when
I was in high school. Oh wow, okay, so I've
got like the the newer version, but they're already a
few years old.
Speaker 1 (01:21:55):
Right.
Speaker 4 (01:21:56):
The black on the back of them is like cracking
and peeling, and I was like, what the fuck and
sure enough they say it happens.
Speaker 1 (01:22:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:22:06):
Just from sitting there, I'm like, you know, I'm watching
videos that you know, they'll take sandpaper, send it off
and then repaint it with like acrylic pains.
Speaker 3 (01:22:14):
I'm like, I ain't he doing all that?
Speaker 2 (01:22:16):
No, But there's there's a couple of different dudes online
that you can send them to and they do and
make the motherfuckers look like brand new.
Speaker 3 (01:22:22):
Bro And just like you just said, I just gotta
wear them.
Speaker 1 (01:22:26):
You got.
Speaker 2 (01:22:27):
You gotta be careful when you send that ship to
somebody though, because they don't always their system doesn't always
work with all the shoes, and they try to treat
all the shoes the same. So like, if you find
somebody that like, oh, dude, dude fucking kills Adidas, send
(01:22:47):
that dude you're Adidas. If another dude does, oh man,
this dude does these nikes and kills, send the dude
your Nikes.
Speaker 4 (01:22:54):
I'll tell you what. There's a dude that lives in
marin O Valley shoe cleaner that I bought and it works.
You know how you go to the mall and they
try to say, let me clean your shoes, and they
pham same same thing, you know what I'm saying, right,
But because the dude lived in Marino Valley, you know,
(01:23:16):
I bought some, right, And Bro, I'm in there cleaning
my shoes clean. I've never really done this before, like
clean the soles, keep them might right.
Speaker 3 (01:23:26):
And this stuff works.
Speaker 4 (01:23:27):
It's called a foam Zone one fifty, so it's f ZA.
So if you look online you can buy some of
that stuff. Yo works, kid.
Speaker 2 (01:23:39):
You know what, when I bought that, I cleaned up
a pair of shoes that I hadn't then. I had
just warned the ship. And when I got done, they
look like brand fucking new. They're these little scouring pants,
call them scouring pads for just a lack of better terms.
But these little pats, they're circles and they have like
(01:24:00):
it looks like those mister clean those white pants on
one side and an orange scouring pad on the other.
You wet it, ring it out and do it. I
clean my shoes and the white part comes out fucking
white as all get out, and they don't turn yellow,
which a lot of people like.
Speaker 1 (01:24:21):
I never throw my.
Speaker 2 (01:24:22):
Shoes in a washer, have you, No, I don't get that.
I've never like i've never been one to do that,
so I don't. But I guess I don't really move
too fast to sweat in my shoes like some people might,
so I never had to like wash them like that.
Speaker 1 (01:24:41):
But I don't. I don't even think I. I don't
think I would.
Speaker 3 (01:24:45):
This dude that I saw, he's got a little slogan.
Speaker 4 (01:24:50):
And what he says when I pump, when I pumped
the phone, I'm in.
Speaker 3 (01:24:54):
The zone, you know what, dude, Yeah, dog, he's off
the hook. He makes these little videos.
Speaker 1 (01:25:01):
Bro, he used to do that. I told you, like,
if you have Nikes, that's the dude.
Speaker 4 (01:25:04):
That sent He actually says he doesn't do that anymore. Really, Yeah,
he started doing that, like cleaning people's shoes and stuff.
But I guess obviously his business is taken off.
Speaker 3 (01:25:14):
He don't do that.
Speaker 4 (01:25:14):
No, were don't send him any shoes unless you just
send it into him for him to keep, for him
to clean and he can give him away or something.
Speaker 1 (01:25:21):
He used to.
Speaker 2 (01:25:21):
He has videos of him going to the store, walking
in the mall and he'll find somebody go fucked up shoes, yep,
and he buys them shoes for the ones that are.
Speaker 3 (01:25:29):
Exactly and he'll take those shoes home and clean them.
Speaker 2 (01:25:31):
Well, and I'm thinking, like, fun, dog, where were you
when I was.
Speaker 3 (01:25:35):
A kid, bro, I'd have been at that mall every weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:25:39):
You're trying to find him, Like.
Speaker 4 (01:25:42):
I saw a video he was walking to the mall
and the patrol of the security for the mall was
driving by in a car. Right, and uh he got
on a loud speaker when I pumped the bone, I'm
in the zone and dude will turn around up to
start laughing.
Speaker 1 (01:26:05):
Yeah, that fucking TikTok's making a lot of stars. Bro.
Speaker 3 (01:26:09):
Oh was it TikTok? Because I don't need TikTok YouTube?
Speaker 1 (01:26:13):
Have you you paid?
Speaker 2 (01:26:14):
You pay attention to the news though, right to some extent. Yeah,
well you get you get updates and all that shit
on your phone too, right. Have you noticed all the
young people that are dying. They're like and they're fucking
They're all influencers and ship they're all dying in their twenties.
Speaker 4 (01:26:33):
I I have past articles, meaning I didn't read it.
I just read the headline right of yes, of what
you're talking about, I have zero interest in knowing about it,
but I know what you mean. Yes, Oh shit, Okay, well,
I'm just saying, people in their thirties die all the time.
Just because they're an influence is the only reason why
they're getting a little headline.
Speaker 1 (01:26:53):
Well that's the whole point.
Speaker 3 (01:26:56):
So what do I get?
Speaker 2 (01:26:59):
Is it so people that you think you think that
people at that age have been dying like that for
a long time, and they're just because their influencers are
because of the Internet, they're getting attention now.
Speaker 4 (01:27:12):
Of course, it's just like everything else, everything that's going
on today, all the bad stuff, majority of the bad
stuff has been going on all the time. It's just
that now with you know, the event, not the invention,
but you know, television newspapers, you know, we're getting news
(01:27:33):
from across America. We're just learning about it. For example,
kids been getting kidnapped since the sixties and the seventies
and getting killed, but we just didn't know about it
because it didn't happen in our neighborhoods, in our small towns.
Speaker 1 (01:27:47):
We didn't know the fucking extent of it exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:27:50):
So you know, it's been going on for years.
Speaker 2 (01:27:52):
Think about that shit, dude, and our parents just send
us out the house early, the fuck out of my house.
Speaker 1 (01:27:57):
Go go go do some shit. I'm bored. Yeah, you
won't be bored outside.
Speaker 4 (01:28:01):
Go don't talk to strangers. Yeah, that's that's that's all
we ever had. Holy shit, that's crazy, bro b.
Speaker 3 (01:28:10):
We've talked about this before.
Speaker 4 (01:28:12):
I'm in third grade walking to school, a good twenty
thirty minute walk by myself.
Speaker 3 (01:28:20):
You know, we never lived.
Speaker 4 (01:28:22):

themselves until high school.
Speaker 1 (01:28:25):

to your house, right, so like you were what do
they call it last? Yeah, that was when my mom.
My mom never worked, so we were. She was always there.
Thankfully I didn't have to worry about that.
Speaker 2 (01:28:53):
But that's but that's all these kids now, like there's
so much fucking information out there. Well, we we would
yell fuck you and run like and danger.
Speaker 1 (01:29:07):
You know what I mean, Like you backed up a
little bit, jumped on your bike and bounced, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 4 (01:29:13):
We uh we One of the weeks we didn't record

Speaker 3 (01:29:53):
Uh. So when we get together, it's like you know, family, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:30:00):
So.
Speaker 4 (01:30:01):
Uh one night while we were out there, we were
talking about old shit, you know, uh about him riding
out my handlebars, you know, going home from school, and
just like you said, telling some other kids. Usually it
was the girls, right we you know, fuck with them
and they start throwing rocks at us. And I'm talking
(01:30:23):

sized rocks. And they hit us a couple of times.
We fell on our bikes, and what do you do?
Just get up and I keep going because they're over
here chasing you.
Speaker 3 (01:30:36):
You can't do that ship anymore.
Speaker 1 (01:30:37):
Yeah, no, because all of a sudden cops show up.
Speaker 2 (01:30:41):
There was as salt and it was blah blah blah
and bullying and you say the wrong thing, when you
let go of the rock as a whole different felony, like.
Speaker 3 (01:30:50):
Fuck Doug, Yeah, getting hit in the head with a rock.
Speaker 4 (01:30:56):
We ain't trying to tell our mama and and trying
to get them in trouble, and it just happened.
Speaker 3 (01:31:01):
It's just part of life.
Speaker 2 (01:31:03):
I didn't because half the time it was like if
I came home and said anything, we didn't have to
drive their house and fight across the street with you know,
my dad and that dude's dad standing in the front
yard waiting to see what happens. We're like, fuck man better,
I'm not saying Ship. Yeah, dude, that was fucking holy shit,

Speaker 3 (01:31:35):

Speaker 1 (01:31:35):
This year, this year should.
Speaker 2 (01:31:38):
Have been the year fucking Jesse challenged you. He could
have had himself a stick dinner.
Speaker 4 (01:31:42):
By what you're You're one hundred percent right, Justse, you
fucked up?
Speaker 3 (01:31:49):
Dog.
Speaker 4 (01:31:50):
Well, we went to like I said, we went to
kan kun Uh and Dude Cancus and Ship. I ain't
gonna lie, you know. We went for our anniversary a
few years ago. Are the big one. Was it twenty five?
Speaker 3 (01:32:10):
I don't remember. Was it even a big one?
Speaker 1 (01:32:15):
Figured out it was a big.
Speaker 4 (01:32:17):
One, Yeah, it was. It was a great one, you know.
And we stayed at a nice resort and it was cool.
It was every day we just walked down to the
beach and just chilled. One day we went to like
a like it's not an amusement park, but it's a
park where you know, they had a gigantic lazy river,
you can swim with the dolphins, do all this kind
(01:32:38):
of stuff.
Speaker 3 (01:32:40):
This time we went to a resort. It was a hotel,
more of a hotel that's part of that same amusement
park that we went to.
Speaker 4 (01:32:47):
Okay, And it turns out there they have like six
amusement amusement parks. So we actually we weren't there that long.
We were there, uh three days, four days.
Speaker 1 (01:33:00):
Bro.
Speaker 4 (01:33:01):
We went to a different park every day. The first day,
well even the first day because we went at night. Okay, Bro,
it's a whole different world out there, like because they
don't have the restrictions and all the laws that the
United States have. Right the first night we went there,
we went to a park. We drove these little four
(01:33:23):
by four almost like lifted golf carts if you will,
and you got to follow the trail or else you're
banging in the walls. It's almost like a bumper car.
And you know what it is if you ever driven
those Autobahn west of Disneylandia Autotopia exactly same thing, except
(01:33:49):
there's not that as far as the feeling, as far
as you got to really push on on that gas
and that engine that's that lawnmower engines shaking you more
than moving exactly, kid bro. But there's no track, I
mean you could. You're following the trail, okay, bro. And
it was a good twenty thirty minutes, really, yeah, kid bro.
(01:34:13):
My arms started getting a little because I was driving.
My arms started getting a little numb from all the
vibrations and stuff. And you we gotta wear helmets, yo, kid.
Speaker 3 (01:34:23):
It was nice.
Speaker 4 (01:34:26):
My son and James's wife and James, both the James kids,
they went ziplining and it.
Speaker 3 (01:34:33):
Was dark kid.
Speaker 1 (01:34:34):
You didn't do it?
Speaker 4 (01:34:35):
Hell no, I couldn't because of uh I was still
in recovery.
Speaker 3 (01:34:41):
And they no, yeah, I couldn't. He wouldn't let me.
Speaker 4 (01:34:47):
I wouldn't have done it anyways. I ain't trying to zipline. Okay,
you gotta climb, you know what I'm saying. Already, dog,
Yeah no, because you climbed and you you zipline to
another plateau as lowered to another plateau that's lower.
Speaker 3 (01:35:01):
Yeah, kid, I'm not trying to do all that.
Speaker 2 (01:35:03):
I'm already I'm already afraid of heights exactly. And then
you want me to jump on and take a zipper
all the way down and now I'm good.
Speaker 1 (01:35:09):
Bro.
Speaker 4 (01:35:10):
Uh but dude, it was nice. The weather was perfect.
Day two, we went on a speed like a gigantic speedboat,
and Bro, they start going in circles and dude, these
things are fast. And what they would do is they
(01:35:31):
would like go a circle and go around three or
four times to were almost a toilet bowl. And they
were just really fast driving the middle. So you're going
down kind of and they slam on the brakes, bro,
and it all this water just encapsulates the whole because
it's all open air.
Speaker 3 (01:35:52):
Bro, it was off the hook. It was crazy.
Speaker 4 (01:35:55):
And you know, and the pilot and the co pilot,
you know, they're hyping you up, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (01:36:00):
So you're getting pumped too.
Speaker 1 (01:36:03):
So who screamed louder in the tunnel you or your wife.
Speaker 4 (01:36:06):
Uh, I think it was equal. Hit the brakes and
they tell you when we go down, it's not on
the breaks. You gotta put your head down because the
hood goes down. So yo, all this water just comes
crashing in.
Speaker 3 (01:36:21):
Bro.
Speaker 4 (01:36:22):
It was cool when swimming with the dolphins. Uh went
on these torpedo joints. It's like, oh with the with
the fans that dog. I probably shouldn't have done this too,
because you gotta like kind of you gotta if you
(01:36:42):
want to go underwater, you gotta put a little bit
of effort to push it down, to throw the nose
points down.
Speaker 3 (01:36:49):
But once once it's pointing down, it's going down. Wow,
I ain't.
Speaker 4 (01:36:53):
Gonna like it because you got these goggles that are
clear as day.
Speaker 3 (01:36:58):
You're down there with these bro driving around.
Speaker 4 (01:37:04):
A couple of times I forgot to come up for air,
so I had to shoot straight up. Yeah, because you're
just like admiring everything. You just it's dude, it's like
you're in a fish tank. You get yeah, kid. Uh.
At one point, like one of the tour guides had us.
Speaker 3 (01:37:20):
Come close to that. He was like on a dock.
So he was like calling us to get closer, and
we're kind of like spread out because nobody knew. It
was just like eight people in our group, and he's
like telling us to come closer. So we inched a
little closer, and he's like getting frustrated. He's like with
his orange for you know, come on in, come in,
come in. So we come in.
Speaker 1 (01:37:40):
Yo.
Speaker 4 (01:37:40):
He starts throwing chomm into the water. Bro fish are
diving out of the water to catch it before it lands. Really,
my kid, wife and kids are like deuces. I'm out
and I would look underwater, like just put my head
down and dude, they're right next to you. And some
of them got big old eyes, you know, they're just
(01:38:01):
eyeballing you and ship. It was a trip. It was
mad cool, though, Wow what else did we do out there?
We went back to that same park with the lazy river.
My buddy James, he put his feet in the tank
to where the fish eat all the scale off your feet.
(01:38:23):
I couldn't do that, he said, because he's, uh, he's
allergic to suntan oil. If he gets anywhere near it,
he's fucked. So like certain things he doesn't do, like
the lazy river. He couldn't do that. Oh, and he
actually had just had an operation as well, some surgery
on his back. I had it on my stomach, heat
(01:38:44):
on his back, and he couldn't go in the water.
So he did like the fish descaling on his own.
Speaker 1 (01:38:51):
Yo.
Speaker 4 (01:38:52):
He said, it looked like he had a white sock
on his foot because he's black. And it was just
fish just attached to his feet, eating it all up. Dog,
I couldn't do it, but.
Speaker 1 (01:39:03):
The fish, all the black oven.
Speaker 3 (01:39:10):
What else did we do out there?
Speaker 1 (01:39:12):
Bro?
Speaker 3 (01:39:12):
It was just really nice.
Speaker 4 (01:39:13):
And the other thing is it was all inclusive, because
everything's together, right. They give you these these rubber bands
that has it looks like a pebble, but it's a
square pebble and it's got there the name of the
place engraved in it.
Speaker 1 (01:39:30):
And you can snatch the pebble from it is time
for you to go, Yo.
Speaker 4 (01:39:33):
You use that to go into your hotel room. When
you go to the parks, you use that to enter. Really, Dog,
everything's included too. I couldn't believe it. You would love
this kid. They had soda machines just sitting there. You
just grab a cup, fill it up and keep it moving, really, bro.
You go to just like Disney, think of Disneyland. You
(01:39:56):
go sit down and eat.
Speaker 1 (01:39:57):
Disney ain't got no soda machines you just walk up to.
Speaker 4 (01:40:00):
But it's the same setup. You can sit down and eat,
you grub, you get up and leave.
Speaker 2 (01:40:05):
Okay, So here's my question. It's a very great analogy.
If if a fucking a resort in Mexico can set
up machines for you to get free coke throughout.
Speaker 1 (01:40:18):
Their parks, why can't Disney do that?
Speaker 3 (01:40:21):
Ship got a point?
Speaker 1 (01:40:27):
What's the big deal?
Speaker 3 (01:40:30):
Very good point?
Speaker 2 (01:40:30):
Because you go spend money on everything else, Why they
gotta fucking dick you on everything?
Speaker 1 (01:40:36):
Just take just take a few wins.
Speaker 4 (01:40:39):
You had a point, you know what I mean? You
think because Americans to just take advantage of it. Because
I'll be honest with you, I passed these soda machines.
I didn't want soda. I wasn't thirsty for it. I
could have grabbed it. But dog, they have beer machines.
You grab a mug and get you a beer. Fuck, bro,
(01:40:59):
it was crazy, absolutely nuts. I couldn't understand it. When
we got done eating, we were sitting at one of
the little eating pus spots. I'm like, so how do
we what do we just have to sign and receipt
that says we ate and that's it. No, people were
just getting up and leaving. You know, I felt awkward
(01:41:20):
just getting up leaving.
Speaker 1 (01:41:23):
We wanted to go back and do the dishes, right.
Speaker 3 (01:41:27):
Yo, at the resort.
Speaker 1 (01:41:28):
And what's the name of the resort?
Speaker 3 (01:41:30):
X Well, the name of the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (01:41:33):
You know how six flags is six flags, magic Mountain,
six flags is all over the country, it's six flags.
Well this is called X correct. Yes, I've seen those
dog it's off the hook, don't they have they have
they have hotel rooms where the balcony is the lazy
(01:41:54):
river right, yes, the bottom floor. Well, it's not the
lazy river. It's the it's like the pool. But the
pool is it's not like tiled, it's like rock. So
that's why it makes it look like, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:42:05):
Like you somewhere.
Speaker 3 (01:42:06):
Yeah. Because the hook.
Speaker 4 (01:42:08):
Yeah, it's crazy, kid, it was so nice. I ain't
gonna lie. It was off the hook. The only thing
that because we did something every day, it was one
of those things that we wanted just one day to
do nothing Like the first day when we got there
because we.
Speaker 3 (01:42:25):
Got their mad early kid.
Speaker 4 (01:42:26):
We got there like a seven am and then it's
like an hour from the airport.
Speaker 3 (01:42:31):
To the location.
Speaker 4 (01:42:34):
But they were like, yeah, we'll take your luggage, hang out,
go to the restaurants. Your room won't be ready till three,
but you just enjoy it. Yeah, and we did hung
out by the pool. Before I went, I was talking
to this dude who went to Kankoon, not to this resort,
not that I didn't kind of know this already, but
he was like, dude, if you're going to hang out
(01:42:56):
by the pool, whenever they bring he goes, let me
tell you what I did.
Speaker 3 (01:42:59):
I'll tip to do like two dollars because it's all inclusive, right.
Speaker 4 (01:43:03):
Every time you guy brought me a drink, I tip
him a buck two bucks, and he got to the
point where he was just bringing them to me. Wow,
I wouldn't have to ask, and dog it happened. We
were there all day. Every time the duke brought me
a drink, I gave him a couple of dollars. And
then we left. We had lunch, James's family showed up,
(01:43:24):
we went to our rooms, came back four hours later.
I walked to my lounge. We sat in the same area.
Speaker 1 (01:43:32):
Bro.
Speaker 4 (01:43:33):
Within two minutes, dude brought me some beers. Wow, because
I saw you coming back, here you go.
Speaker 3 (01:43:38):
I was like, oh shit, and I'm breaching from my wallet.
Here you go, brother, Thank you. Yeah. It was real nice.
Speaker 1 (01:43:43):
It's good.
Speaker 2 (01:43:44):
It's good when you go there, like like now that
place it fucking ruined you because you're gonna go somewhere
and be like, nah, we should have gone back to
Cancun because brisk place sucks.
Speaker 1 (01:43:56):
Customer service here fucking blows balls.
Speaker 4 (01:44:00):
You know that actually happened to us. We went to
Disney World when the kids were little, and dude, it
was we stayed at a Disney hotel Disney World. Do
you know anything about Disney World. No, okay, think Disneyland.
You know how they have Tomorrowland, Frontierland, and they have
(01:44:21):
like all the different lands if you will right, well,
Disney World, each land is its own amusement park. So
an amusement park is just strictly Tomorrowland, all the Space Mountain,
all that shit is if you want amusement park, yep.
Another amusement park is like I said, there's like six
(01:44:41):
of them, and then they have hotels scattered throughout. Dog
Off the hook. We took a cruise with the kids,
a Disney, a Disney cruise. That's dope, bro, Disney does
it right, brod dog. After that, I can't stay at
a motel six no more. I gotta get treated right.
Speaker 2 (01:45:01):
You know the motel six words the you stay in
holiday in express. Mother fucking left the lights on for you. Bro.
Speaker 3 (01:45:08):
We'll stay at the holiday.
Speaker 4 (01:45:09):
But I mean, if there's if there's a Hilton versus
you know, right, we're staying at the Hilton, right right,
you know we because we want to get what we
paid for. So I don't have a problem with that.
But now fuck you. But now, yeah, you're right, dog
treated Oh dude, it's off the hook. And again being
able just to go sit down, eat. They got restaurants.
(01:45:32):
They had like seven restaurants on our resort.
Speaker 1 (01:45:34):
No ship.
Speaker 4 (01:45:35):
You just go eat, get up and leave. You don't
sign for anything, dude, Off the hook. One night we
got toasted kid lit nice talking. It's been a while
since I got that lit. Yeah yeah, all right, real nice.
(01:45:56):
It was a good trip and and in a couple
of weeks going to Puerto Rico. Wait what next week?
Actually I'm going back to Well, this Puerto Rico trip
was actually already planned, okay, like in advance. It's like
my kids are going and going to meet us there,
(01:46:17):
my brother and his family to go, and my mother's going,
so it's a family trip.
Speaker 2 (01:46:25):
Holy shit, is it cheap to go to Puerto Rico?
I mean, my chief and your cheaper did you buy
it in the clearance rack?
Speaker 3 (01:46:35):
It can't be cheap.
Speaker 4 (01:46:38):
Like, this is the first time I'm really staying in
an Airbnb.
Speaker 1 (01:46:43):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:46:44):
We rented like a like a I think it's a one, two, three,
five bedroom home.
Speaker 1 (01:46:50):
So you never stayed in an Airbnb before.
Speaker 4 (01:46:51):
I've stayed in it like once or twice. It's kind
of weird, huh, very weird. The first time I ever
stayed in one was with Manu and we were going
to his uncle's daughters Kinzinetta in Pasadena. They rented an
airbb so we could all be together, and my wife
and I stayed in a little girl's room. Bro it's weird, right,
(01:47:16):
very weird.
Speaker 2 (01:47:17):
Like we stayed at Airbnb when we went to Utah,
and it was just like when we left, I was like, well,
do we take our ship or do we leave me, like,
are the people coming home anytime?
Speaker 1 (01:47:30):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (01:47:31):
Like again, this was the first time, yo, Like they
they wrote notes, how you know we have this, this
in the fridge for you if you know, feel free
to take you know, this is how you work the laundry,
the washing machine and dryer.
Speaker 1 (01:47:44):
You know.
Speaker 3 (01:47:45):
It was just literally.
Speaker 4 (01:47:48):
It's somebody's home that they just left for the weekends
so we could stay there. And that was weird because
I do a lot of vacation rentals my pools, okay, but.
Speaker 3 (01:47:56):
They are legitimately like a hotel. It's empty. The owner
doesn't live there.
Speaker 4 (01:48:02):
He comes down or they come down every once in
a while, a couple of times a year.
Speaker 3 (01:48:06):
But yo, closet is empty. There's no family pictures.
Speaker 4 (01:48:10):
It's like a model home when you when you you know,
when you go see a model home.
Speaker 1 (01:48:14):
It's fucking sterile of life.
Speaker 4 (01:48:16):
Yes, but these Airbnb and I almost want to say,
this is the only time I stayed in Airbnb that
it was like we were in the little girl's room.
Speaker 2 (01:48:28):
Yeah, that's gotta be fucking like you're creepy, Like you
want to fall asleep and have one eye open just
in case that little scary girl come out the closet.
Speaker 4 (01:48:36):
Yeah it was yeah, yeah, it was weird. But we're
staying in Airbnb when I stayed in the hotel, and
so we can all be together.
Speaker 1 (01:48:46):
Who you gonna stay Airbnb in a foreign country?
Speaker 3 (01:48:49):
They ain't a foreign country. It's America.
Speaker 2 (01:48:52):
For all intensive purposes, Puerto Rico's a foreign country. Sorry, Uh,
did you.
Speaker 1 (01:49:01):
I don't know if I should say this.
Speaker 3 (01:49:02):
Oh, gotta say it now.
Speaker 2 (01:49:05):
Well, I just don't want to figure you guys out.
But did you guys call and find out the history
of the house.

Speaker 3 (01:51:00):
Yeah, fuck, just like me.
Speaker 4 (01:51:04):
Now she's had it for a while, just like me.
And she's known about it for a while, just like me.
But for her, I got to the point where it
just became too painful.
Speaker 1 (01:51:14):
Any reason why that may have happened or no.
Speaker 4 (01:51:17):
They didn't say. It just reached the boiling point for her. Okay,
they got her comfortable with the drugs and whatever. All right,
what's what's the next option? Well, we gotta do surgery,
same surgery I had. And then we were like, well,
with her age, she's pushing eighty this year, you know,
(01:51:40):
is there anything else we could do?
Speaker 1 (01:51:41):
Oh? So for your mom. It's like, I don't want
to spend the money, but Peanut like, fuck, whatever you
gotta do.
Speaker 3 (01:51:47):
I'm just kidding.
Speaker 4 (01:51:48):
I just kidd So doctor's like, it's just gonna get worse.
So can feel fine for a while now, but it's

which was Easter Sunday.
Speaker 1 (01:52:14):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:52:14):
It was weird, very much, but they did it and
it worked out. Everything worked out great good.
Speaker 1 (01:52:19):
I'm glad to hear it.
Speaker 4 (01:52:21):
Sunday night, we leave, you know, leave her come back Monday.
She slept the entire night.
Speaker 3 (01:52:29):
I'm like Wow.
Speaker 4 (01:52:30):
I couldn't sleep that first night because I was in
so much pain. I couldn't catch my breath. If you remember, right,
I had I had a dog. My mom's snoring up
a storm. She no worries in the world. Another thing
plus for hers. She ain't got to be responsible for
my grandfather. She ain't got to worry about him cook
his meals. You know all this, dude, she's on a
(01:52:52):
little vacation. She's sleeping. She's sleeping all day, she's sleeping
all night. She's getting up to go the bathroom. I
couldn't do any of this.
Speaker 3 (01:53:03):
Kid. They released her on Monday or was it Tuesday? Bro,
she's walking up. I'm like, I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (01:53:13):
I couldn't stronger than you.
Speaker 4 (01:53:16):
My wife says, because you never had surgery before. And
I'm like, well yeah, but still she's had two kids.
And I'm like, but dude, I was three times as
bad as she is. Wow, But you know, my wife
tells me mine was a little bit more intense. They
had to move my liver, all this kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:53:37):
She's trying to make you feel good, I guess so, so.
Speaker 3 (01:53:43):
Now someone has to be with her.
Speaker 4 (01:53:47):
Twenty four to seven Okay, so that first few days,
my sister in law's there all day. I'm sleeping there
at night, my brother's sleeping there at night. You know,
we're all we figured out the shifts. Okay, my sister
in law is gonna help out. Okay, sister in law Lucy, Okay,
(01:54:07):
she's gonna show up the next day six am, and
she's actually gonna be twenty four hours for the next
two or three days. Right, Yeah, helped out a lot.
Speaker 1 (01:54:19):
Yeah, say that's cool.
Speaker 3 (01:54:20):
All right.
Speaker 4 (01:54:21):
My mom's in the hospital, so she's taking care of
my grandfather. That's what we were doing the first few days.
This is what I'm referring to. Actually, because my mom
was in the hospital, somebody had to be with my grandfather.
My grandfather all he does is watch TV all day.
You put it on YouTube. You find a wrestling video
(01:54:41):
that's three four hours long, and put it on, and
he'll just sit there and watch it.
Speaker 3 (01:54:46):
Oh wow, boxing.
Speaker 4 (01:54:48):
Find the longest one that you can find, which is
a couple of hours, and he'll just sit there and
watch it as if it's brand new.
Speaker 3 (01:54:56):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (01:54:56):
All right, Lucy comes six am. I tell her he's
gonna lay in this couch here's the Roku she my
mom uses Roku. Here's the Rocal remote Rocu box, she's here.
I turned the TV on, Bro, the TV doesn't turn on.
(01:55:18):
Clicking the remote. I'm like, God, damn it. I don't
know what my mom's batteries are, so I'm looking for batteries.
Find some batteries, replace them. Still doesn't work. I'm like something,
I've been remote the day I needed to work. Because
a stranger is here to watch my grandfather, I gotta
(01:55:40):
go to work. I get the TV to the remote,
to the actual TV. Not the Rocal remote doesn't turn on.
The TV sits on a big white dresser in my
mom's house in the living room. My mom's got like
a chest, a big one, three feet tall, six feet wide.
Speaker 1 (01:56:01):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (01:56:01):
Okay, I'm trying to figure out why this TV is
not turned I'm looking for the actual button on a TV.
This smart TV doesn't have an actual button. Bro.
Speaker 3 (01:56:13):
Somebody unplugged the TV from behind the dresser. Huh exactly.
The TV is unplugged.
Speaker 2 (01:56:23):
Now, Okay, So Bro, come on, A couple of things
can happen because you had some old people there, right, You're.
Speaker 3 (01:56:31):
My grandfather is the only old person there.
Speaker 2 (01:56:32):
Well, your aunt was there, right, No, you said take
care of your law and my brother, who's taking care
of your mom? At first, though, what do you mean
or taking care of your grandpa? Well, your mom was
it also my It was my sister in law, my brother,
and myself. Okay, okay, so it was just you and
Rick and Lucy.
Speaker 1 (01:56:50):
No me, Rick and Eva even didn't even didn't Une
do it?
Speaker 2 (01:56:54):
No, because that's like a not I'm not calling Eva old,
but it's kind of like an older person to do though.
Speaker 1 (01:57:01):
Are you sure your mom didn't do it for she left?
Speaker 3 (01:57:02):
No, we watched TV the day before because I.
Speaker 2 (01:57:06):
Remember when we would fucking we ever hardly ever left,
like for more than an afternoon.
Speaker 1 (01:57:10):
But unplug it. Make sure you unplug it. No, yeah,
I can see that, but nobody nothing. Huh.
Speaker 4 (01:57:17):
My brother did not unplug it. This is Easter Sunday.
I slept there Sunday night. My grandfather watched TV all
day Sunday. My my grandfather was actually at my cousin's
house because we were all at the hospital because my wife,
my mom, was getting surgery that day.
Speaker 3 (01:57:34):
Okay, my brother picked up my grandfather took him back
to my mom's house.
Speaker 1 (01:57:40):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:57:41):
I showed up that night sleepover. Lucy showed up the
next day six am.
Speaker 1 (01:57:47):
And it wasn't in a place where like it could
have wiggled out.
Speaker 3 (01:57:51):
My brother said the same, shit, how does a plug
wiggle out? But I'm gonna give you that. Now.
Speaker 4 (01:57:58):
Here's the thing. It's behind a dresser, so there was
no wiggle room per se the plug because of the prongs,
pulling it out barely made clearance. And again it's behind
the dresser, so me.
Speaker 1 (01:58:19):
Nobody moved the dresser by accident to do something. No,
you sure?
Speaker 3 (01:58:23):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (01:58:26):
The only thing that could have happened is my grandfather
somehow got on his hands and knees, reached behind the
dresser and with two fingers wiggled to plug out.
Speaker 1 (01:58:42):
That's what happened, brouh.
Speaker 3 (01:58:47):
Okay, Because here's the thing, I said, somebody unplugged. I
was like, what the fuck?
Speaker 4 (01:58:51):
My brother was with him death Sunday. Why would my
brother do this? The following day, Monday evening, we went
to my mom's house. My wife got there before me.
They're talking to Lucy, how did everything go? Oh, yeah,
your brother had a problem. She's telling my brother, your
(01:59:12):
brother had a problem. Turning on a TV showed me
how to work because it was unplugged, and my wife said,
oh yeah, he told me that, Rick, why did you
unplug it?
Speaker 3 (01:59:21):
I didn't unplug it. It wasn't unplugged. Lucy said, no,
it was unplugged. I didn't do it. Bro.
Speaker 1 (01:59:33):
Could it be bullshit? You could he be like a
prank like I got him and now he's worried because.
Speaker 4 (01:59:40):
He's not a prankster. I mean, and that's kind of
a dumb prank. I mean, it's not like he did
it to me. He would have pranked my grandfather.
Speaker 3 (01:59:46):
I mean, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (01:59:48):
Yeah, Bro, Now, either that night or the following night
we're talking about this, or we know, we were talking
about something at my mom's kitchen table at dining room
table excuse me, danning room table has a fan and
a light.
Speaker 3 (02:00:03):
You know, a ceiling fan has a light.
Speaker 1 (02:00:05):
The light was on.
Speaker 3 (02:00:06):
We were talking.
Speaker 4 (02:00:09):
The fan all of a sudden starts going, I shit,
you not kid. The fan automatically just turns on. And
my brother says, you see somebody's ear you dog my
mom's house on it. That's the only thing I can say.
Speaker 1 (02:00:27):
What if the motherfucker goes to Puerto Rico with you, and.
Speaker 4 (02:00:29):
We say it's my my stepfather, my mom's you know,
my kid's grandfather. I should say, I shouldn't say like that,
but I mean, that's he's my stepfather.
Speaker 3 (02:00:40):
But no, that's grandfather, my kids dog. He's in the
house kid. What else could it be?
Speaker 4 (02:00:48):
And again I'm talking, squeeze your hand behind the dresser
down to the plug and unplug it.
Speaker 1 (02:01:01):
Have you ever sat down in that room and be like, hey,
is this my Are you stepped out? Are you here?
Can you make a noise? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:01:09):
Are you making Noah? This is wild, bro.
Speaker 2 (02:01:13):
One of the mothers responded, Would you like, okay, well
I gotta go buy my mom.
Speaker 3 (02:01:18):
You know what, we probably should try that one day.
Speaker 1 (02:01:21):
Now we fucked out. I want nothing to do with
that shit.
Speaker 4 (02:01:24):
Fuck that bro, I dude, there is no It had
to be my grandfather doing it, because you know he's
one hundred and three or one hundred and two.
Speaker 3 (02:01:34):
He'll be one hundred and three, bro, he repeats himself.
Speaker 4 (02:01:39):
He'll get up towards the evening, he'll confirm that the
door is locked, like five times. You know what I'm saying, right, So,
is it some old people shit to unplug something because
you know watching it? Yeah, okay maybe, but to get
to it is my my only The only reason I
doubt it is because they actually get to it.
Speaker 3 (02:02:01):
It would have been tough.
Speaker 1 (02:02:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:02:04):
Yeah, you know what he does in the bathroom has
got you know, above the mirror. It's got one of
those light fixtures as let's say, four bulbs, five bulbs, right, Yo,
he unscrews four of him and he only has the
one that works, so he could save our electricity. That's
the type of shit he does.
Speaker 1 (02:02:23):
Yeah, he unblugged it. Okay, did you.
Speaker 3 (02:02:28):
Have a point?
Speaker 4 (02:02:30):
And it has to be the reason why it happened.
But he's he's frail, you know what I'm saying. He
can't get on his knees. Now we're back there and
unplug it.
Speaker 2 (02:02:42):
I ain't nobody around, and he wants to do some
ship he can get on his hands and knees and
and do it. He's not gonna like it, but he'll
do it. I know because I've done it. I gotta
get down in it for a fucking that.
Speaker 1 (02:02:58):
Let's go, let's get it.
Speaker 4 (02:03:02):
But he's never done it before, and it hasn't happened since.
But I'm not I'm I'm literally I have to agree
he did it. There is no other rationale. But who
turned on the ceiling fan?
Speaker 3 (02:03:19):
Mhm?
Speaker 1 (02:03:20):
Whoever had the remote?
Speaker 3 (02:03:21):
There was no remote, so the switches on the wall.
Speaker 2 (02:03:25):
Yeah, well maybe you had. I'll give you the number
to my electrician. Some faulty in the wirens and some
faulty in the wire fucked that.
Speaker 4 (02:03:35):
Well, the because it's old school, meaning it used to
be like a channelier and it was a fan they
bought and they had to get it like a transmitter
that they put it on the top right and the
switch on the wall like it just gets power. But
there's like a look, let's say a mini antenna in
(02:03:55):
it that connects to the antenna that's in the so
it ain't like it's hardwired per se. So something cross
signals and the antenna caught the signal to turn on.
Speaker 2 (02:04:08):
But come on, bro, that's a stretch. But you just
said all that ship was like a stretch. But I
get what you're saying, because it could happen.
Speaker 1 (02:04:18):
Fuck. Or maybe you just need to change batteries in
the fucking remote.
Speaker 4 (02:04:23):
It doesn't take batteries it's you know, the antenna in
the wall is hardwired, just like the antenna in this
ceiling fan is hardwired at the base where it touches
the wall.
Speaker 2 (02:04:34):
Huh, you're making you're making it for difficult for me
to explain why this should happened, Tony, I'm gonna buy
you a Wuiji ward.
Speaker 1 (02:04:44):
Do you go ask some questions? Fuck that. Do we
have any birthdays or anything coming up?
Speaker 3 (02:04:51):
Yes? Who's this coming Saturday?
Speaker 4 (02:04:55):

Speaker 3 (02:04:57):
