So I noticed something this morning, and we've been joking about this for the past couple days that wow, it's been really quiet driving in, and you know, uh, is everybody extending like their fourth weekend? Today was the day I saw a lot more people on the road. Oh, me too. Including the person that I had to follow that did not realize they could go the speed limit uh on the main road. I that kills me. It's like you get up to drive slow. Uh-huh. Like just get up and go. Don't don't go slow.

SPEAKER_00 0:26

Just go. I I I think it's weird when people are are not Well, not that I get you don't want to get to work. Because I do. Because right, because you might not have a job like this. But at least I'm always like, I gotta get there. Yes. Even if I don't want to get there, I gotta get there.

SPEAKER_01 0:44

Well, thanks to the great Jeep that decided that it was just gonna do five miles an hour back here by Karen 7 Eleven and on the back road. I'm like, really?

SPEAKER_00 0:51

They're the person that gets to work a half hour early, sets up the coffee, sits there, makes it.

SPEAKER_01 0:57

You know, there's no patience for you.

SPEAKER_00 0:59

No, there's there's always that person that's like, Well, I'm just gonna I was thinking 110 years old.

SPEAKER_01 1:07

I mean, I was like, geez. What would they be?

SPEAKER_00 1:08

Oh, I guess they would be up getting their morning coffee. You know how like there's like the old guys who will like meet the other old guys for breakfast. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:15

Yeah. Or they go Oh, this old guy must have been going to pick up the other old guy to go to Duncan.

SPEAKER_00 1:19

Or they're or they'll like go to McDonald's and like sit there. Yep.

SPEAKER_01 1:22

And or or even just go to McDonald's just to I mean, we're not poo-pooing on, you know, having a social life when you get older, but can you get to your social life? Because I gotta get to work.

SPEAKER_00 1:30

I know, because my gr my grandfather every single morning would go to breakfast with his neighbor. We always called him coach.

SPEAKER_01 1:37

And they would eat my god, that's great. You had what was the nickname for you? The two dollar cowboy and coach. Yes. My God, this is an ABC sitcom from the 90s. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:46

So those two would have breakfast every morning, and they either would go, there's three places. No, wait, four places.

SPEAKER_01 1:52

Oh, well, variety.

SPEAKER_00 1:53

McDonald's.

SPEAKER_01 1:54

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:55

Cracker Barrel.

SPEAKER_01 1:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 1:56

Sheets.

SPEAKER_01 1:57

What are you getting? A glizzy at six in the morning?

SPEAKER_00 2:00

No, they have an MTO breakfast. Oh, they do? Yes. Uh, and then Bob Evans, of course. Oh, of course. The classics.

SPEAKER_01 2:06

Yeah, you got the round robin.

SPEAKER_00 2:08

The classics, which I can't even imagine eating any of those things for breakfast unless I wanted screaming narrow.

SPEAKER_01 2:14

You know, a little bit later. Like, I need to get my my system rolling a bit, then we can go sit at the crapper barrel. Just let me get it. Then then I'll have what do they got? The hash brown casserole? Oh. Yeah, give me that. But let me let me have a coffee first.

SPEAKER_00 2:27

So we ate kind of we ate something the other day that was either an old person's food or your kid's food. So when I was making dinner, my mom had sent a little care package when my aunt came to visit the other day, and she sent canned applesauce, meaning like she canned it herself. Oh, yeah, yeah. So I said to Zach, Oh my gosh, would you like some applesauce on dinner?

SPEAKER_01 2:48

He's like, Well, I'm one step from the hall by all means.

SPEAKER_00 2:51

Yes, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 2:52

He's like, I'll be keep this chewing to a minimum.

SPEAKER_00 2:55

I gotta practice for my later life. And and the way he said though, because I even said, oh my gosh, we're eating like we're such jars right now. And he said, I used to give baby Cyrus this. Like when he was like six years old. He always had applesauce with dinner. And it's exactly that either a six-year-old or an 86-year-old.

SPEAKER_01 3:12

Well, and there's a difference. If you're 86, you're you're out of the jar or the canning, you know, like the Mots or you know, your moms, moms or mots, right? When you're a kid, now they have the go-go squeeze. Like Gavin and Lydia will take these. It's like they're eating on the space shuttle.

SPEAKER_00 3:26

They're like, Oh, yes. I have a hard time with that, but I don't know if you don't like food in a tube? No. Except for when I was a kid, because do you remember the bubblegum that came in a tube?

SPEAKER_01 3:37

Yeah, I think I do. Oh my god, I haven't seen that in years.

SPEAKER_00 3:40

They had the weirdest food in tubes, but now the thought of eating.

SPEAKER_01 3:44

But yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:45

Okay, well, uh, you're right.

SPEAKER_01 3:46

Because you're not really swallowing. Well, you're not supposed to.

SPEAKER_00 3:49

Hold on a second. I gotta look something up.

SPEAKER_01 3:50

I don't even know if they still make that anymore. Either way, I was struggling to get up this morning. This is why I was like, come on, hit the gas. Oh. So our friend Bob was over yesterday, charged up my AC in the bedrooms, and I'm like, This is glorious.

SPEAKER_00 4:03

Oh, good. I'm glad you got that done.

SPEAKER_01 4:05

Oh my god, it was so good. By the way, if anybody is a appliance technician, Bob desperately needs somebody. He was telling me on the way out yesterday, he goes, Scotty, because that's what he talks. Scotty, he goes, I'm 71 years old. He goes, I've been going since 7 a.m. this morning. He goes, I gotta get a tech. I'm like, well, I I I don't know too many people, but that's that's one of those lost arts.

SPEAKER_00 4:26

I know. I hope it comes back. I think it will. I was actually just listening to a podcast the other day about Gen Zers leaning in towards um more manual, I wouldn't even say like hard manual labor, but trade work.

SPEAKER_01 4:40

Right, right. And this is one of those ones, all right, every once in a while you gotta pull out a washing machine. But for the most part, if you're changing a control panel or you're changing a heating element, I think the money's probably pretty good in that industry. Yeah, I would think that it is because again, it's a lost art. There's not many people doing it. So, you know, he can Bob doesn't take advantage, but he can charge a little bit. He can be like, yeah, if you want it fixed, because what we've lived in a replace it all society for really decades now. So now we have to break that habit.

SPEAKER_00 5:09

I can't believe you were sleeping in the warmth for this long.

SPEAKER_01 5:12

Uh well, now that I have the cool now. I'm like, I I it's almost like I I I don't even my body's like, this is the way it should be. Just block out the past.

SPEAKER_00 5:24

Especially, don't all eight puppies sleep in bed with you guys?

SPEAKER_01 5:26

Yeah, there's there's a pretty good amount of them that uh that pile in there. So that's that's a little extra heat for it.

SPEAKER_00 5:31

That's a whole other blanket. Yes, it is.
