#162 After 2 Beers: Mall Nostalgia, Wild Roller Coasters, and Celebrity Mishaps
Have you ever wondered why malls were the ultimate hangout spots back in the day? Join us as Dutch Dalton, Kimmy Kibler, and Michael "Puddin'" Summers take you on a nostalgic journey through the golden era of shopping malls. From the high-tech gadgets of Radio Shack to the delicious aroma of Cinnabon wafting through the air, we reminisce about the charm and character that made these malls special. Our new "Mount Rushmore" segment kicks off with a bang, and trust us, you won’t want to miss Kimmy's "Gibbler's Giblets" or Puddin's intriguing "Am I the Asshole?" segment.
Hold onto your hats (or should we say shopping bags?) as we also tackle current events, like Justin Timberlake's recent DUI incident and the viral fame of the "Hawk Tui girl" from Tennessee. Dutch brings some intriguing and dramatic news stories to the table, including a mother’s frantic snake scare and a wild roller coaster incident. The roller coaster story alone will have you both laughing and gasping in astonishment. And don't get us started on the bizarre lawsuit against Apple involving infidelity—it's a roller coaster ride of a different kind!
We wrap up the episode with heartfelt reminders of the importance of friendships and simple acts of kindness. Whether you're laughing at outrageous stories or pondering deep questions about relationships, this episode has a little something for everyone. Tune in and let us transport you back to simpler times, all while keeping you entertained and informed about the wild world we live in today!
Welcome to the After Two Beers podcast. I'm Dutch Dalton, joined as always by Kimmy Kibler.
Speaker 2:That's me.
Speaker 1:And Michael the Puddin' Summers.
Speaker 2:What's going on oh?
Speaker 1:man just thought we'd record a podcast.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I like it yeah.
Speaker 1:You know again, thanks to our buddy Kevin Shook here at E Studios, yep, and we've got a new look tonight. I'm a big fan of it.
Speaker 3:We've got a new look tonight. I'm a big fan of it.
Speaker 1:Yes, absolutely, it's great, but actually Kevin and I were conversing. I think we're going to try to up the number of these to maybe two a month. Okay, yeah, like right now it's third Thursday, yeah, thirsty Thursday of the month Thirsty Thursday. I think we're going to also try to do the first Thursday of the month.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:So 24 shows, and I'm even thinking about trying to do a local version. Oh yeah, I've had people that want to come on the show, which still is odd to me, because even I don't know what we're going to talk about. Have you heard it Right?
Speaker 3:And so, from that perspective, I think we could do more of a PG-13 kind of yeah, get them on our local events, local topics, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:You know hell. We had the mayor on here a couple times, not the current mayor but. Yeah yeah. So I mean, we're not that bad. No, yeah, all right, I will release this audio. We're going to start releasing audio again. I haven't done that for a while as well, so version just know that if you follow us on social media, on our facebook page, you can watch these live when we record these and the other cool part is by doing it via facebook too.
Speaker 1:You can comment with us, yeah, and we want to really open up the engagement, uh, between you guys, the ones that are watching and all of us here. So we would greatly appreciate you following us on Facebook and checking that out. So, coming up on tonight's show, we've got a new segment that I've I wanted to add, and I didn't want to change everything else up, because Kimmy gets freaked out. She is a creature of habit. So the only thing we're adding is the Mount Rushmore, and we can call it whatever. We don't have to call it that, but the idea is that I want to find a topic each week. I mean goofy shit, yes, and but stuff that for some reason, we think is important, right, Everybody will have an opinion.
Speaker 3:Exactly Got to get out there.
Speaker 1:It's not going to be political, which I am looking forward to. The presidential election or the debate next week, oh, that's going to be so good. It many gold, we will talk about that. It's gonna be great. But anyway, we're gonna do our mount rushmore this week. Uh, we posted it on social media yesterday. Uh, for those that may have saw it, we're gonna talk about a mall, a shopping mall, shopping mall. They, uh, they, they still exist in some places ish yeah, kind of yeah they're somewhat.
Speaker 1:They're like on a protected list. It's uh, it's like an animal that's almost close to extinction.
Speaker 3:That's what the shopping mall is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so we're going to talk about the shopping mall. It was a big part of our lives as Gen Xers. And so we're going to talk about that tonight. Then we've got Gibbler's Giblets, as always. Do you have giblets?
Speaker 2:I have some giblets.
Speaker 1:Sweet, I have some giblets. Sweet Puddin's going to walk us through the Am I the Asshole, a popular segment, and I've got two news stories. We've got a lot going on, so I'm going to pick the two this week. That one fires me up.
Speaker 2:Does it really yeah it? Pisses me off a little bit yeah, kind of yeah I can't wait to hear that, oh it's brutal, we'll get there.
Speaker 1:And then one of them is uh, it's actually kind of fun, we'll leave the funny one for the end. Okay, all right. All right, before we get started with our Mount Rushmore, I want to talk about two things. Uh, this is something we can do each week too. Okay, what's popular right now in social media or what's you know?
Speaker 3:the, uh, the buzz on social media. Two things, okay, I got I got you.
Speaker 1:We know one, I know one. We'll come to that one. Yeah, that one's coming. But let's talk first of all about Mr JT bringing sexy back himself.
Speaker 3:Justin Timberlake, When's he going to get his license back? It's going to be May.
Speaker 2:It's going to be May.
Speaker 1:Now I got to say obviously we don't condone drinking and driving. Right, it affected our community here locally. Yes, um, just uh. Within the last few weeks, someone that has been a guest on our podcast, that um was driving home from, from doing an event, and someone crossed the center line and, um, that's it. Every day is a blessing, yes, right, so we're not condoning, uh, drinking and driving by any. Obviously we don't, you know. But I will say this I won't cast stones because I'd be willing to bet that a vast amount of Americans have drove at least one time in their life with too much in their system.
Speaker 1:Definitely.
Speaker 2:Right, so I'm admitted, but yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, anyone that's like hey, take the back roads. That's like you're take the back roads.
Speaker 1:That's like you're just admitting out loud, right. I mean like pick another crime that you would make a joke about, about how you get away with it. You're like oh, drugs in the butt, drugs in my business wallet, right. So, anyway, I want to talk about it, mostly for two reasons. First of all, they have nothing to do with drinking and driving. Well, I guess the one does. The first one is this justin timberlake, I look this up, is worth a quarter billion dollars right 250 million yeah, right, do you think I'm driving anywhere?
Speaker 1:no well, I don't even have a problem with him driving to wherever like. Even if I was his wealth, I would still want to drive. I like driving, right but right. But I thought about this, and even before JT, because we always hear about celebrities that are getting picked up for DUIs. Yeah, I would want someone. I would pay them like $100,000 a year, so it's a good job, but I'm a quarter billionaire, so it's not that much right.
Speaker 1:And literally their goal in life. They just ride around with a flatbed truck following me everywhere I go.
Speaker 3:Just take me home. I'm going to sit in a car and I can go. Well, I'll get up in the front seat. It'd be a nice up front.
Speaker 1:I mean it'd have a nice system in it. I'll be puking in my truck Right, and so that's the part that I understand. If I was Justin Timberlake, right, and I'm out and I've had a couple and I don't feel like that. I've had too many Right, yeah, and I can get behind the wheel, yeah.
Speaker 3:When you swerving and blow a stop sign Right.
Speaker 2:Well, but then your eyes look like lit up, like a Christmas tree.
Speaker 1:We're going to get to that in a minute too, but the thing about it for me more is this Like I would see that if he's like man, I can't call a cab. This would be all over the news anyway, even if I call a cab or call an uber. Well, that's fine. It said he was out with friends, right? Yeah one of them couldn't drive him home he was.
Speaker 2:He was the, the one that was the designated follower. He was following his friends home.
Speaker 3:Oh man, oh no man, I didn't know that part yeah, that's what it said in the news.
Speaker 2:I was like, oh, oh, that's the most responsible one for that part. Yeah, that's what it said in the news.
Speaker 3:I was like, oh, oh, that's the most responsible one for the team.
Speaker 1:Yeah that's like when you put like the injured animal at the end of uh your herd as you're going across the uh serengeti and you get you're like, well, we'll let bob it's like when they say, when you're being chased by a bear, you don't have to be the fastest, oh, jt. But here's the other thing about Justin Timberlake that just it reminded me of something that I'm a big fan of. I'm not one that likes watching people get in trouble, because again it could happen to any of us, right.
Speaker 1:But there's something about seeing a celebrity's mugshot that makes you just realize they're normal people too. I looked at his mugshot and I swear to God he looks like the kind of guy that would show up like at a parent teacher conference meeting and would be kind of half lit already and hitting on the teacher in front of the mom. Like he looks like that kind of guy in that picture.
Speaker 1:Oh, so douche. Yes, exactly he looks like a guy that hangs out at a country club and everybody's like, oh fuck, like a guy that hangs out at a country club and everybody's like, oh fuck that guy right.
Speaker 2:Hey, everybody see my new car outside. No, I actually listened to it on the serious xm today and they were talking about and they said that, uh, the guy that pulled him over was just like like 21, 22 years old. It was like he was a rookie cop and like when he pulled him over, I guess that jt was like he was a rookie cop and like when he pulled him over, I guess that JT was like, man, I'm going on World Tour, do we really need to do all this? And he's like, yeah, right, he didn't even know who the hell he was.
Speaker 3:I was going to say he probably didn't even know who it was.
Speaker 1:He didn't know who he was he looked like one of his buddy's dads, right, you know. And it just shows you that Walt Disney screwed up all those kids.
Speaker 3:Mickey Mouse, you can't get Britney now.
Speaker 2:Exactly, I was going to say it was Britney that messed him up, oh man.
Speaker 1:You know you're in trouble when you're dancing in your panties with knives and then writing a book about your life and then completely putting him in the garbage. Right Well maybe that's why he was out drinking. Yeah, possibly.
Speaker 3:I mean it's.
Speaker 2:I feel like he was doing more than just drinking, though.
Speaker 1:Well, I've heard that and I don't want to speculate. We don't know.
Speaker 2:But His eyes were the same color as, like, the red. Well, that could just be weed After two beers.
Speaker 1:Well, that's true too. I've heard so here it could be. Yeah, I heard it could be the weed, we don't know. All right, so there you go. I, uh, I just got a thing for a quarter billion dollars.
Speaker 2:You've got to not ever get a dui right oh man, you could have like, even like at the restaurant. You could have paid one of those like the bus boys been like, I'll give you a thousand dollars if you drive us all home yeah, right, drive my car home, oh.
Speaker 1:Oh Call me an Uber. I'd hire somebody just to carry me home, right.
Speaker 3:You know, like on their shoulders, $1,000,. They would be like, oh, pop on, I want to get one of them. Baby packs, carry me around, right? Yeah, let's go. Taco Bell, carry me in.
Speaker 1:Oh, you have to get a gorilla, though as big as I am.
Speaker 3:I didn't have a sippy cup, dude.
Speaker 1:All right, let's talk about the other thing that's making the social media rounds this week. What do we got? It's the Hawk, tooie girl oh gosh, so this girl.
Speaker 3:They're in love with her, aren't?
Speaker 1:they. Oh well, you know, and here's the thing I don't have TikTok on my phone.
Speaker 3:My company doesn't allow right, but you have facebook reels. Oh well, that's the thing. Like you, if you can't hide a hawktui girl.
Speaker 1:Without her showing up everywhere, she's everywhere. Yeah, so apparently she's from tennessee. Okay, they found this girl.
Speaker 2:She's actually signing stuff now yeah, she like partnered up with this clothing company that's making like hawktui 24, like for president type of deal and signing the shirts and hats.
Speaker 1:It's funny to me because Puddin and I were talking about it off air that it's interesting to me that it's going so viral, right, and I feel like it was one of two things. Right, there's been. It's got to be a guy thing where they're like, hey, look see, just hopped to me Keeps hey, look, see, just hopped to me.
Speaker 3:Keep showing his wife, See she'll spit on it Right?
Speaker 1:Well then, I saw a video today of a girl, and this is probably the inverse side. Who's like? Uh ew, why would you want someone to spit on you like that? And I was like I'm a dude. She can be like I have to put chicken gravy on your junk before I will enjoy it and I'll be like I'll keep a five gallon bucket in the refrigerator. I've got it right now.
Speaker 3:How about bacon, gravy, whatever you need.
Speaker 2:I hate to tell you, but there's going to be saliva on it anyway.
Speaker 1:Right, the hot tuna is like I was telling Puddin' it's like cleaning the day off. You know you spit that back out and then you spit on it, oh, tim Kendall said did you hear that Afro man is running for president?
Speaker 2:Because he got hot. Oh my God.
Speaker 1:You'd have to be. You know, that's the thing. Like I'm already over the presidential election, who would really want that job, honestly?
Speaker 3:Not now Anymore. No.
Speaker 1:No, I mean if you, regardless of who you vote for, who you want to vote for, right Right off the bat, there's 43% or so that are 100% going to vote for Trump and there's 43% that 100% are going to vote for Biden. That's just how it is Right. And then you've got the fringe, and it's always the fringe. Everybody bad mouths the media, but in reality it's just the fringe that fuck it up for everybody. Right, thanks, guys, right. And these are the ones that I would hate to run for office for, because they're fucking mean. Like you know, like they call Biden the Biden crime. Like you know, like they call biden the uh, biden crime family. Now, oh my god, and I keep thinking, this guy is the one you guys say can't hardly set, like spell, his own name. But have you seen?
Speaker 2:the mastermind they're trying to say they're faked of him, just like walking away from stuff like another like the french president, had to go over and grab him in his arm and turn him around it looks like me trying to find my keys in the morning it looks like me trying to find my keys at night after I drank too many.
Speaker 1:Tim Kendall says that Afro man is calling himself the Cannabis Commander in Chief. There you go, oh wow it's the old.
Speaker 3:I didn't exhale yeah he didn't exhale, not a chance, yeah so there you go, the hoctua girl to uh in america.
Speaker 1:Now that's what is. You know, people just want to talk about it's amazing what catches on.
Speaker 2:I was gonna say, I'm gonna tell myself because until yesterday do you hoctua? No, no, I'm not talking about that inquiring minds are wanting to know I was I was. I actually had to ask josh yesterday. I was like what is the hawk tua thing? Or I was like what is this girl? I was like she's in all of these memes but I hadn't seen the hawk. Oh, you haven't seen that part no, and I hadn't been on techie talkie for a couple weeks apparently, but yeah he's like you haven't seen this, and then you start going down the rabbit hole.
Speaker 3:It's all over the place now.
Speaker 2:You know the, oh, the, it's a country song, half Cherokee and Huck tall.
Speaker 3:Half Huck.
Speaker 1:Tooey, it's funny because normally you hear about the spit at the end.
Speaker 3:And that's when you really find out if she's right yeah, I bet you, this girl likes rinsed dressing that's all I'm saying, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:All right, anyway, let's get into our new segment.
Speaker 1:It's the mount rushmore, of whatever and the concept is, uh and I challenge both of you and I've challenged the listeners and the viewers that that each week we're going to come up with a goofy topic, we'll post it on social media in advance. Now we haven't discussed ours at all, nope, okay, so I have no idea what you've picked, and if you're watching, we'd love to hear some of yours as well. So the idea is, if you really think about when we grew up as Gen Xers in the 80s, early 90s, mid 90s, the mall was a big damn deal. It was everything. We didn't have social media.
Speaker 2:Our parents dropped us off and we walked around and hung out there for two hours.
Speaker 1:Yeah, right, yeah, especially in the winter, when there was nothing else going on.
Speaker 3:No, that's where you went Friday or Saturday night, Right, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:And it was a big deal as a part of our growing up, and they're dead for obvious reasons. I mean they're an inefficient business model, if you think about it, because I worked at a mall for three years when I was in college and when you're busy, you're busy, yeah, but 80% of the time You're dead. Oh my God, it's like hanging out with people. I have never lived in an apartment, but I have to assume that's what it's like because you get to know your neighbors.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, Everybody in there, right? Yep? And so that, and we, as human beings, now we're at work and we've got basically a little computer we carry in our pocket wherever we go and somebody's like well, I need to buy this, I'll just buy it online.
Speaker 3:Hell, it's at home before I even get there, right?
Speaker 1:But I miss the mall, but I'm old, so I wanted to. I asked each of you and the audience here what are the four stores that you would put on your Mount Rushmore of a mall? Yeah, and I also, because it's going to be tough. There is, uh, an opportunity at a, uh, honorable mention, yep, but uh, let's go ahead and get started. Gibbler, what were the four stores that are on your mount rushmore of a classic 1980s, 1990s, even 70s mall? Right I didn't realize the mall here locally opened in the mid 60s.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, so I mean, if we're, if we're going back to those times. One of the places I always hit up was radio shack yeah, okay just because I'm a gadget girl and I like to see like what's new and everything else, I mean obviously. Now I'm like I look back and I'm like, oh well, they sold cordless phone batteries.
Speaker 3:Now I'm like I look back and I'm like, oh well, they sold cordless phone batteries, but no, I mean like that was one of the things that I like.
Speaker 2:I always remember being in a mall. It was a radio shack.
Speaker 1:Radio shack Okay.
Speaker 2:Um, I actually worked there during high school was music land.
Speaker 3:Yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Um Deb.
Speaker 3:I don't know, we had a Deb. Yeah, um deb, I don't know, he had a dad, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a deb was, uh was one of them what was deb?
Speaker 1:so I mean, I remember seeing it, but it's like a teeny bopper clothing store.
Speaker 2:Things were reasonably priced. Um, okay, yeah, okay, it was just like so close, close yeah yep, american eagle before american exactly um. I liked the toy store well, yeah, yeah, I mean, we had kb toys, yeah and then if you go to some like malls out of town, they had like a toys r us that was a hooked up to them all, uh, which also is completely gone now. Um, so how many have I got there? That's?
Speaker 1:four, that's four. Are those your four?
Speaker 2:So I only get four right.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, you got a runner-up. Do you have a runner-up?
Speaker 2:Something and I know this is probably just Richmond, but something that I always went to is I loved going to Noble Romans and watching them, toss the pie. Like they would just like toss the pie and make it round. And I was like I remember in grade school we actually got to go there and make our own pie.
Speaker 3:And we learned how to toss the dough.
Speaker 1:It's amazing what you could do pre-COVID Right and pre-the internet.
Speaker 2:They would just let snot-nosed kids come back in the kitchen Just watch them and just play with dough.
Speaker 1:Toss it in the air, just toss it. Octula on it.
Speaker 4:All right.
Speaker 1:All right, gable, I like those. I think those are four really good ones. Puddin', what do you got? All right.
Speaker 3:First one I want to start off with, and the main reason. It's actually two combined, but it's one reason Sears and JCPenney's yeah, oh yes. Christmas catalog. Oh yes, growing up.
Speaker 1:That was my shit. So here's the funny part, right? It has nothing to do with the store.
Speaker 3:No, it's just the book, the catalog. I want that damn catalog.
Speaker 2:Well, you got to circle what you wanted and it was like your Christmas list, your christmas list.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that was my first one.
Speaker 2:Uh, that's where a lot of sad second one is uh woolworths yeah oh yeah, I forget about stores oh yeah, woolworths is my shit.
Speaker 3:I would go go in there, get a a cowboys championship shirt from the 90s and a sandwich. I was gonna say an ice cream cone. Yeah, get a sandwich and a shirt. I mean that that's where I got my first Reds trash. Can my first Gallus trash can? Yeah, back in the day, woolworths.
Speaker 2:The Dallas Cowboys trash can is a trash can.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was just clear.
Speaker 3:My third one, and that's I don't know this might have been 90s, 80s, 90s, but it's Stephen Berry's.
Speaker 1:What is that?
Speaker 3:It's a. It's a college clothing store, college sporting clothing store. So we had everything, but it was really cheap. So I had jerseys, hoodies, anything you wanted, any college team, but cheap as hell Like and then, main thing, they didn't ever tell you Bootleg shit.
Speaker 1:It was like a bootleg store.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was almost like Fanatics today, you know oh okay, it's like.
Speaker 1:that's not right. It's spelled wrong.
Speaker 3:Yeah, my next one was Piercing.
Speaker 2:Pagoda. Okay, that's one of your-.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's where I got my ears pierced for the first time. You know how many holes have been filled there.
Speaker 1:Or created. We're created, right, oh, I love it. Amber, uh, amber uh comment kb toys piercing, pagoda, yeah dead and uh walden books josh hunter says kb toys, footlocker, radio shack, yeah, sears, and uh he forgot about noble romans, yeah uh, my runner-up is this mother.
Speaker 3:This thing right here I still can't do. I'm 46 years old. The magic eye kiosk oh, you can look at the picture.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it comes out, I still can't do it.
Speaker 1:That's my runner up, just because it pisses me off I bet he can't do it because of his colorblindness it's one of the easiest things for me to do really oh, within seconds I can say no nope yeah, never, yeah, never have I feel, like oh boy off mall rats yeah, it's a schooner, it's a boat.
Speaker 1:Oh, dumbass, it's a boat. Schooner is a sailboat. All right, son of a bitch. I looked at this a little different, but I'm gonna have similar stores to both of you, gotcha and uh. As a guy that worked at a mall, I kind of understood the layout and how they work and how they were efficient. So I looked at this as I broke this down into categories. So the first thing that a mall has to have is a good anchor store. Yep, okay, so you were talking about Woolworths and JCPenney, did you?
Speaker 3:say Sears.
Speaker 1:Sears is awesome, oh yeah, and Dillard's is another one. The Elder Beerman had one in Muncie. That was a part of the mall, yeah, it was. But Sears was awesome. You could go in there and you could buy if you needed one, like a training bra, a set of tires for your car.
Speaker 3:You could get a pair of prescription glasses and get family photos and get your picture taken.
Speaker 1:And get your picture taken. And that was all in one area. Yes, that was the beauty of Sears, and basically it was Walmart before it was Walmart. Yeah, I mean, everything's been replaced now that are in these stores by Walmart and Amazon, for the most part, right, but yeah, sears was something else. The next thing is food. So when you're there you had mentioned you're there for a couple hours there's lots of choices. Here in Richmond, we had Sbarro's Yep, in Muncie, the Orange Julius, oh yeah, which was good, but it was expensive and I was in college. It's sad, isn't it right?
Speaker 1:I can mush up a banana and pour some orange juice in the cafeteria, but mine, if I was going to pick one food place, it would be Annie Ann's.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, pretzels, Pretzels.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's an easy snack. They made them in different flavors. It was pretty genius.
Speaker 3:Mine would either be that or Cinnabon, oh Cinnabon's good, right, cinnabon's real good.
Speaker 1:You don't even know you want a Cinnabon bun until you walk in and smell it. Yeah, I'm getting one of them.
Speaker 1:They ain't going to make it home. The next thing I wanted to talk about so we've covered the anchor store, we've covered food is entertainment. So in bigger cities we're from a small community, here in Richmond about 30,000, now 20, 28, whatever. So it's a, it's a midsize Midwest mall. But in bigger communities movie theaters were a big one laser tag. But for me and this is truly one of mine for sure was the arcade. Yeah, as a kid that loved games.
Speaker 2:It was before gaming systems.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I loved an arcade and I love the fact that you're starting to see more and more of those pop up.
Speaker 4:Yeah, Like the retro arcade.
Speaker 1:We've got two and I'm like people are like, aren't they worried about competition? I Like a retro arcade. We've got two and I'm like people are like, aren't they worried about competition? I'm like, shit, we need three more. Yeah, get them in here. There is nothing wrong with an arcade. No, and then, lastly, we get into what I would call the specialty stores. Okay, and, specialty stores. I made a list. I haven't picked this yet, okay, okay. So I'm going with Sears. I'm with you on that one. I'm going with Annie Ann's. I'm still sticking with the pretzels over the Cinnabons and cause, you could do cheese too. You can do savory.
Speaker 1:They would melt the cream cheese so that you can get the cream cheese Come on now I don't even know why malls aren't still in existence, just because of that, right. And then I also went with the arcade. And then I also went with the arcade. Now, the specialty stores there's tons of these, tons of them, and Spencer's was one that I loved. Oh yeah, my good friend, my old brother-in-law I still call him my brother-in-law he mentioned at Spencer's you could learn a lot of things as a young man.
Speaker 3:The further back you went Right.
Speaker 1:You go through the beaded curtain. Oh, I still remember as a kid asking my dad why the cane for the old man had a mirror on it. Stuff that was just not pc at all. Right, I love the store. Kb toys was one hot topic, walden books, hat world, uh, another one, uh, music land obviously, and then hallmark.
Speaker 2:So I had that as one of my runner ups, yeah.
Speaker 1:It's. Uh, it was I. I love the old Christmas ornaments and uh, yeah, and it was an easy go to for a gift for somebody. Yeah, but uh, if I had to go with one and it's ironic because it's probably the one that was probably the first out of there it's Walden Books.
Speaker 4:I loved magazines.
Speaker 1:We don't really have magazines now because everything's online. Everything's online, but I was. I love books, yeah, I read everything I could about baseball and but I was also a big Farside guy.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, I can't tell you how many Farside books yeah, I had a ton of them them or Calvin and Hobbes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if they didn't have the kiosk.
Speaker 3:Things.
Speaker 1:I didn't worry about when I was in my teenage years was my yearly calendar? No, it's not bad, it's just.
Speaker 2:Maybe it's a difference between women and men. I was going to say that was more in the nineties. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:You would always get the ones where you just tear the sheet off each day.
Speaker 2:Remember those the 365.
Speaker 1:And that was like you brought it up. And the last thing I want to touch on with malls before we move on is how important they were to us as a memory and the reason. When you walked into a mall in the 80s or the 90s for Christmas, it was decorated like crazy.
Speaker 2:Almost every picture that I have with Santa Claus in my younger years is from the mall, or Elder Beerman, yeah yeah, and that creepy-ass Easter Bunny picture that I have with santa claus in my my younger years is from the mall, or elder beerman, yeah, yeah and that creepy ass, easter bunny which is still I think it's the same suit- has never been washed either.
Speaker 1:Oh, cottage cheese and vomit. Oh how many people you think pissed on the easter bunny suit when they saw that big, freaking looking thing. You'd think they'd had just a big egg. You could sit in and get your picture taken or something, but no, just a whack-ass looking Easter bunny.
Speaker 2:Here, go sit on some stranger's laps for a picture Right Last time I did that I was at a strip club.
Speaker 1:That's not true. I've seen you sit on people's laps, all right. Well, there's our run back through time when it comes to, uh, uh, the mall. I miss the mall, I really do you know it's especially and here's the thing, and it's it's only popular. Certain times of the year, like christmas was huge, because you could make a day of it. We're gonna go knock out all our shit all of everything, yeah, everything.
Speaker 1:It was like the crowds and you just dealt with it. Yep, yeah, but yeah, and kids? Today they don't need a place to go hang out, they do it all online. Yeah, we're raising some of the most introverted homebodies. Oh yeah, and I'm not saying it's wrong, it's just different than how we grew up. We had yeah, yeah. So All right, are we ready to move on?
Speaker 2:I think so All right Got some giblets.
Speaker 1:Let's do the giblets.
Speaker 2:All right, let's see here. All right, let's see this one. I did not know this one. You guys probably do. American singer Tom Petty wrote the song I Won't Back Down after an arsonist burned down his house and he escaped with just the clothes on his back.
Speaker 1:No, I did not know that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I didn't either. I was like shut up, yeah, I won't back down.
Speaker 1:Burning down the house was already written, so that one was out. I wrote a song about it, right? Did he know the person?
Speaker 2:It just said that an arsonist burned down his house and escaped with just the clothes on his back. Yeah, didn't give much detail and, as a result he won't back down. He won't back down.
Speaker 1:It sounds like he was being threatened Right.
Speaker 2:He might have been, I don't know. I should probably research more into it.
Speaker 3:That's a banana Indiana girl.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:I'm not Indiana. No, the dead body one from the video.
Speaker 2:So weird, it's weird.
Speaker 1:The last dance of Mary Jane. Yes, necrophilia, what is it called? Necrophilia, necro? I forgot the R, that's all right, yeah, anyway, clearly I don't look at those sites. On Pornhub I never even knew if that is a fetish. Oh you know it is, it's got to be, oh, for sure.
Speaker 3:It's got a name, yeah, right.
Speaker 1:That's a good point.
Speaker 2:It has a name. It is a true fetish.
Speaker 1:if it has a name, it's got a name Something for somebody that one's been around for a long time. Yeah Right, all right, gibbs All right, all right, gibbs, all right.
Speaker 2:Americans spend more on lottery tickets than on movies, video games, music, sports tickets and books combined.
Speaker 3:I believe it. I worked at a gas station. I had guys come in. They would play the pick three, pick four. The pick three numbers were 0-0-0 through 9-9-9, and then he'd pick other numbers. He'd spend about 50 bucks at a time every day every day, every single day.
Speaker 1:Did he ever bring in a winner?
Speaker 3:yeah, he said he'd win about 25 000 a year yeah, how much did he spend on it?
Speaker 1:god, probably not more than 50 bucks a day. Yeah, I mean, that's some good cash. Yeah, I mean, you're dropping 1400 a month. Yeah, I mean, but still he was still hit 12,000. Well, a month. So my buddy Jeremy Hill. He used to call lottery ticks, uh tickets, rather a taxation on the stupid. Every now and then, aj and I will get the itch and we'll grab one or two. Oh yeah, just for the fun of it.
Speaker 1:Let's not talk about pull tabs, it's still considered kind of a lottery Pull tab's. Totally different. That is not different. It's way worse. It's a local lottery, oh nothing to piss you off more than when you buy 80 tickets, let's say hypothetically on a Tuesday night two days ago.
Speaker 3:And the people behind you, yeah, and they're like oh shit, we just keep hitting them and hitting them, we hit $300 on 20 bucks and then puke on you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then puked while Kim was singing karaoke.
Speaker 2:It was that bad, I guess, I mean.
Speaker 3:I've only heard situations like that. I don't know if it's ever happened.
Speaker 1:And the funny thing it was like it was a drive-by, puking Nobody knew who it was.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was like a mystery puke. All of a sudden, you just hear about it, yeah there's two people gone and there's vomit on the floor.
Speaker 1:It's like you'd have to watch the video back and it's like JFK. It's like back and to the left and the vomit is hitting, splattering. Oh man, got it. Oh. And then the best part is when you see one of the bartenders dry heaving. Oh man, got it, oh.
Speaker 2:And then the best part is when you see one of the bartenders dry heaving and then she's like quit talking about it.
Speaker 1:Quit talking about it. And then, yeah, so we're there for karaoke and they immediately put me up while there's just this sea of vomit, and so I started singing about it in my song and it was making the bartender sick and then this couple had to get up and leave because the lady. I'm like. They're like what is that? It looks like there's some crust in it and they're like oh it's pizza and I'm like, well, apparently it's cheese, because that's the only toppings I see, and then yeah.
Speaker 1:It was bad, and then Amanda had to leave.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I had to sit there and finish the beer by myself. Well, I mean to be fair, a little bit splashed under her leg, oh man.
Speaker 3:Oh.
Speaker 1:That's all right. That's every concert I went to in the night. It's bad when you do it on yourself.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's bad when you do it on yourself, but like somebody else's moment on you, a biohazard.
Speaker 1:Absolutely. Squirrels are getting us good tonight, buddy.
Speaker 2:Squirrelys, all right. Hiram Maxim, the inventor of the automatic machine gun, became deaf from test firing his weapon so much. As a result, his son became the inventor of the silencer.
Speaker 1:He should have invented a hearing aid.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:Earmuffs. I'm talking about inventing something light.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you invented a gun. I'm talking about inventing something late. Yeah, you invented a gun. I'm just going to make it quieter. How about ear protection?
Speaker 1:No, we didn't think about that. Jump right past the obvious, answer All right, this one I did not know.
Speaker 2:Do you know the name? Thurl Ravenscroft.
Speaker 1:Thurl.
Speaker 2:Thurl, t-h-u-r-l. Yeah, so he is the one that's saying you're a mean one, mr grinch. Do you know what else he did? He was the voice of tony the tiger porn. No corn flakes, cornflakes.
Speaker 3:That's what I said.
Speaker 2:You didn't let me finish cornflakes he was the voice of Tony the Tiger too.
Speaker 1:Oh, I thought. Well, I thought the person that narrated it was the singer. I didn't realize it was a separate person, that's kind of cool.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I didn't know that.
Speaker 2:I did not either.
Speaker 1:That's a good. I feel bad for a guy like that. You know as a kid he never got cool license plates or shit to put on the back.
Speaker 3:You can never find his name on a keychain.
Speaker 1:No, thorough, thorough oh man, whatever there's certain guys that ruin names like there's, they'll never be another adolf right what thorough do that people? Pissed off.
Speaker 2:You know right, there's no more thorough last one, and speaking of names, due to the limited number of different names on Norfolk Island, the island's telephone directory lists people with common names by their nickname. There you go, so there are entries for cane, toad, lettuce, leaf, goof, diddles, rubber, duck carrots and tarzan. Can you imagine?
Speaker 3:being in those.
Speaker 1:Oh man, yeah, yeah, mine would be on there, puddin, puddin there's a lot of nicknames, though that I've heard that it's like do they have an X rated?
Speaker 2:section like at Spencer's yeah numbnuts.
Speaker 1:Dickhead 1 Bright. You're like oh, I just called that guy a cocksucker?
Speaker 2:What if we have comments? Oh, yeah, oh man.
Speaker 1:All right, that's an interesting one. Yeah, it's got to be a small community. That's so wild to me that people would know everyone's nickname.
Speaker 2:Right, but I want to know who this lettuce leaf was. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Town pothead.
Speaker 2:It was like the Smurfs right.
Speaker 1:Everyone had their little thing.
Speaker 2:Dopey.
Speaker 1:See Disney again. All right, putnam, let's do. Am I the Asshole?
Speaker 3:All right, I like this one. Am I the Asshole for leaving my boyfriend in the car because of a snake? I got to know more. So I, 31 female, have a little girl age three and getting back into the dating world after a divorce. The guy I'm dating is 34 now. I had been with my boyfriend for seven months and he needed me to pick him up from the auto repair shop, so I did. When we were on our way home, something moved under my foot and freaked and I freaked out. I found a nearby parking spot parked, quickly grabbed my kid and refused to get anywhere near the car again. Where I live there are a lot of venomous snakes and all I saw was a dark fat snake with pattern. So immediately I thought cottonmouth and got the heck out with my kid.
Speaker 3:Cottonmouths are only venomous but also aggressive. Apparently my boyfriend didn't get the memo and just thought I was overreacting. He didn't see anything so basically told me that there was nothing there and I was losing it. So I left him there with the snake. He was furious and I would not get back in the car with my baby. I refused to get back in called my my ex.
Speaker 3:He came to the parking lot, pulled out a super fat rat snake that was seven foot long. I want to say all I saw was a fat dark pattern. Immediately thought cotton mouth until I was proven otherwise. Anyway, after that I felt a little, a little crazy, took my boyfriend home and have been paranoid about my car since, but otherwise we're all fine. However, my boyfriend is furious with me that I left him in the car with a snake. I don't know why, because I told him that I was going to there was a snake. If someone yells snake, you fucking move until you know without a shadow of a doubt it's harmless. Anyway, I need to know if I was an asshole or not for making for getting out of the car.
Speaker 2:Let's go to the immediate elephant in the room that you call your ex to come get it.
Speaker 1:This had nothing to do with the snake.
Speaker 2:It had nothing to do with the snake.
Speaker 1:Let's get that right.
Speaker 2:It was about her ex's trouser snake?
Speaker 1:no, probably what a way to save my new boyfriend's a piece of shit like hey hey, can you come help? He's being a pussy. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess she left the husband because he ran right over there, right? Like if he left her he'd be like fuck, that's on you.
Speaker 2:He ran right over it, unless he's the dad of the child.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Well, maybe Make sure the kid's okay. They're already out of the vehicle, right yeah? And so the guys left in the vehicle was said snake yeah and he's not pissed because he got left in the vehicle. He didn't even think there was a snake in there, anyway acting. It had nothing to do with the snake, it had to do with the dude that showed up, right right. It is a little odd, right? Do I think she's an asshole? I don't think she's an asshole, but I think she clearly is not calling her ex.
Speaker 1:She's clearly not over her ex, right, like that's the thing about. Sometimes in a relationship, it's that person that's there for you when you need them and when you call the person that you thought you didn't need anymore, right I don't know, it just seems, and that's why he's. I'll tell you this that couple's not going to make it. I wish I could track that couple.
Speaker 3:Can I get an update? I'll follow up, see if we can get an update.
Speaker 1:Ask her say hey, seriously, what's the over-under on you guys? Like how long you been together? They were together for seven months. Seven months, yeah well, they didn't make it to 12. I'll tell you that right now. I'll tell you oh man, am I the asshole? All right, so what do you guys think? Is she the asshole? Oh no.
Speaker 3:I mean.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 3:I mean not for the snake part, it's just a little weird calling your ex, but I mean, if you're worried for the well-being of your child. She lived there with her ex, away from family. She had no one else to call. I knew this guy and that was it yeah, right.
Speaker 2:Situational.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I need to know more, but I can tell you right now that ain't for the long haul. That sounds like rebound all over. Right there, all right. Are you guys ready to do some news?
Speaker 3:Let's do it All right.
Speaker 1:Here's my first story, and this is the one that pisses me off. Oh, I love it, yeah, and for a lot of reasons, like I'll read it and then we'll discuss. Okay, yeah, okay. This is an 18-year-old woman in Iowa named Samaya Thomas was supposed to have a first date on Sunday with a guy she's been talking to on a dating app. So this was just last week. Okay, they had been chatting for over a week and now they're going on their first date.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Everything sounds kosher at that point. At the last minute she decided she didn't want to meet him, and instead of telling the poor guy, she called nine one one on him.
Speaker 3:What yes?
Speaker 1:Now it gets better. This is the part that pisses me off. She told cops her abusive ex-boyfriend was outside her home and he threatened to hit, punch, kick and stab her. She also claimed to be pregnant with his child.
Speaker 2:What a crazy woman.
Speaker 1:Right the guy was supposed to go out with was leaving the scene. When the cops got there and detained him on his way out, he showed the messages on his phone and he, which proved Samaya was lying yeah, all right. She eventually admitted to it that she had made it all up because she had gotten cold feet and didn't want to meet him anymore. She's facing two misdemeanor charges for placing a false 911 call and filing a false report.
Speaker 2:What in the world? I was going to say she should be arrested for that kind of crazy like, for making those kind of accusations about somebody.
Speaker 1:People get shot when the cops are, and I'm not hating on cops, I'm just saying like, if they show up up, let's say hypothetically, this guy actually carries a gun because he just he's or has easily allowed to a knife or something, anything maybe he likes swords you know, he's got like, and he just happened to bring his collection because, like, maybe he's got a big trouser snake. All right, I'm just saying this is a, especially when you're threatening violent, he's gonna stab me right?
Speaker 3:I'm pregnant with his child like gosh, you made up some good shit. Apparently he dodged a bullet, oh my god absolutely.
Speaker 2:Wow, he deleted the app that night. Yeah, you know what?
Speaker 1:I'm good he was swiping on other people, I'm sure by the end of the night. Yeah, the part that bothers me on this situation is you get into the victim blaming, and Gibbler and I have chatted about this because I have a tendency sometimes to immediately want to side with the victim, mostly because it's men that are doing shit wrong, and I know dudes that are just D-bags, so I can picture a lot of it. And Kim is more of well, what the fuck? You know, she's like Dave Chappelle when it comes to that. So, but, in fairness, like these are the situations where we're basically being taught now that you always have to believe the accuser Right Until you're proven wrong, right, right. And this poor kid I'm going to assume he's probably similar age, 18 years old he's a kid.
Speaker 4:Right, I mean she's 18. He's trying to ruin him.
Speaker 1:Oh, forever, yeah, Forever, like it's, I don't know, and so I guess the part I brought up is the fact that she was charged with just two misdemeanors.
Speaker 1:Right, right, I feel like that should be something more I agree yeah, that stuff won't dare like right yeah, I'd love to get our audience's feedback on this one. This one's kind of a deep one for after two beers. But you know, when we started this podcast six plus years ago, one of the things that we talked about was we wanted to have a couple drinks, talk about things that, um, you would typically sit around and chat with your friends at a bar or a bonfire, whatever yeah, you're like hey, did you see this in the news?
Speaker 3:yeah, and this is just crazy to me and you know this.
Speaker 1:This stuff happens all the time. This just happens to be the one story I saw about it. Man, just wild, all right, are you ready for this one? Yeah, oh, this is great. This would be our last one and we'll. Oh, this is. This is so funny to me. All right, a middle-aged, rich guy in England I don't know why they put rich in there, but let's just say a middle-aged guy in England. He's suing Apple. His wife found a bunch of text messages he had sent to hookers. They are divorced now. He says he turned to prostitutes the last few years of their marriage and would text them using the iPhone texting app message, but he was careful to always delete the messages, so his wife didn't see him.
Speaker 2:Except for she has the iPad.
Speaker 1:that is linked, Unfortunately for him he only deleted them from his phone and she eventually found them on the iMac desktop that the desktop that they shared. She filed for divorce less than a month later and took him for all he's worth. Now he's suing to recover the money he thinks Apple should have to cover what he lost in divorce, as well as his legal bills totaling more than $6.3 million. Holy cow.
Speaker 2:This is user error.
Speaker 1:This is lack of accountability, and we are getting more and more of this every day, where it's the victim Nah, you do it. You did it. Yeah, you did it.
Speaker 3:Got caught.
Speaker 1:It's so stupid to me. He says if she found out he was cheating some other way, they might have worked through it.
Speaker 3:But seeing the text was just too brutal.
Speaker 1:Again, it's not his fault, not his fault.
Speaker 4:Not his fault.
Speaker 2:I want to know.
Speaker 1:I would love to know what he was texting.
Speaker 2:I bet it was some nasty shit. Oh yeah, oh he's like, will you hot toot.
Speaker 3:Hey, did you see that meme? You do the hot toot on me.
Speaker 1:I'm going to try that shit. My wife hasn't hak-too-ee'd for years.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:At least the last couple months. His lawyers are even looking into making a class action lawsuit if other men come forward and say the same thing happened to them.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:Oh, man, that's what you want to do is out yourself to all your community about. Hey, I cheated on my wife. She found it because I wasn't dumb enough.
Speaker 3:First of all, you fucking cheated Right yeah.
Speaker 2:Right, who cares how you got caught? Oh man, you're the dumbass.
Speaker 1:I accidentally gave my girlfriend an STD, and that's how she found out I was cheating. Right, it's that other girl's fault.
Speaker 2:It's the lab work's fault.
Speaker 3:Oh my gosh. No, that wasn't me Can.
Speaker 2:I bring up one more news story real quick oh yeah, you got one Because people are stupid. Did you hear about what happened in Kings Island yesterday?
Speaker 3:Oh yeah yeah, Did he go retrieve his keys? Is that what he did?
Speaker 2:Yeah, he went into the unauthorized area that's for employees only to go. Try to retrieve his keys while the banshee's still going.
Speaker 3:Got hit about 68 miles an hour.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's called Darwinism. I've seen that.
Speaker 3:Somebody put that in the comments. It's thinning the herd.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, I can't imagine how traumatized you'd be being in that front cart oh man.
Speaker 3:And messy. How do you come around?
Speaker 1:and just what do you do then? Do you just like, do you hose those people off, or do you let them go down?
Speaker 3:Is it like when somebody pukes on you? Yeah, like do they go down the water? They're like all right, we're going to take these over to the Whitewater Canyon.
Speaker 2:You got to go Get them rinsed the worst part is they were probably stuck on the roller coaster until they could get everything taken care of.
Speaker 1:No, I bet you, they blew right through him and went up. I want to see the picture oh no you're like, can I buy?
Speaker 3:can I get that picture please?
Speaker 1:oh no, I was afraid. I heard about it today. I didn't hear the details. I don't know anything else about it. I was afraid that maybe it was a gentleman that was suffering in life and he thought no, he was a jackass and he was like I'll take matters into my own hands.
Speaker 3:He couldn't wait for them to go get it, so he decided I'm going to go in there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, geez, he obviously didn't time it well either.
Speaker 2:No, you know, it's not like these things are random. Have you ever tried to outrun a 68 mile an hour bullet coming at you?
Speaker 1:No, well, that's a roller coaster, Like maybe it's coming out. That's a, that's a vehicle that's coming.
Speaker 2:It is a vehicle.
Speaker 1:And you know exactly where it's going. It's on fucking tracks.
Speaker 3:You're right you would watch it. Watch it Time it.
Speaker 1:Ok, it's gone, now go get it, you know, and the bad part is now.
Speaker 3:He was really here. How about this Wait?
Speaker 1:for them to fucking get it for me. I don't care, he's like I want to go home. I just shit my pants on that ride.
Speaker 2:He went home, all right I didn't get it.
Speaker 1:He went to the hospital. Apparently, I guess he's in critical condition.
Speaker 2:No, shit, no.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying, you know, I don't want to make too hard, you know.
Speaker 2:I don't think that I'm going to be in great condition if I just got hit by a 68 mile an hour vehicle at me.
Speaker 1:Oh no, no, he's fucked up For sure of it. I'm like I don't. I bet he doesn't go back to that park, but he tries to sue. Oh, I'm sure, oh, the door was unlocked, oh it's one of my favorite SNL deals when Chris Farley, he says, sure, the construction site said stay out, but when you're as drunk as I was, you can't read signs.
Speaker 2:There you go. He spent the day in beer garden was looking for his keys.
Speaker 3:I mean you wash your hands in one fountain at Disney. What do I mean?
Speaker 4:Oh, Would you like an update on this incident?
Speaker 2:I hate to like make fun. I'm not necessarily making fun, I'm just saying that you're stupid.
Speaker 1:He's dead. Now we're all going to feel like asses.
Speaker 2:I don't care, he's still stupid. All right Is was.
Speaker 4:All right. So Mason Police said Thursday the man had been trying to retrieve his lost keys. The witnesses said a person riding in the front row told them it sounded like they hit a deer at the time of the accident. Oh, dear Bud, why am I laughing? Why am I fucking laughing? The person struck was taken to University of Cincinnati and their current condition is not known. That's not good. Meanwhile, king's Island's focus continues to be on the welfare of the guest and his family. The park said what about the?
Speaker 2:traumatized guests.
Speaker 3:I was thinking didn't even seem to sound. We had a deer back there. I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1:It was right back there where those keys were laying. Check my picture.
Speaker 3:Does this picture look right? Is that a pair of feet?
Speaker 2:That deer was wearing clothes oh, can you imagine if it had like hit him and knocked it back into like one of the carts? Could you imagine being? I mean, I just feel like that would be traumatizing yeah, it clearly, absolutely.
Speaker 1:I don't know the picture thing. I gotta be honest.
Speaker 4:I kinda wonder what he was driving. And the keys went to old, beat up Buick or something it's probably for sale it's probably in the parking lot.
Speaker 1:I bet you we can figure it out real quick it's the car that's still in Scooby Doo.
Speaker 2:2.
Speaker 1:The bad part is, let's say, I'm assuming he didn't go alone, so his family's like we're really going to need them keys.
Speaker 4:They're on the will.
Speaker 1:The whole family can't get in the ambulance.
Speaker 4:They still didn't get them keys.
Speaker 3:Do you mind if we get them?
Speaker 2:I mean, I legit have lost my keys on a ride at Kings Island and I just was like eh, let me call my stepdad have him pick me up, and they mailed me my keys.
Speaker 3:Oh wow, yeah, They'll get them for you.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's just going to be at the end of they could do that. I don't know. This is, you know, Like you?
Speaker 3:said Darwinism, Darwinism.
Speaker 2:He was hoping to find his keys, maybe some Oakleys.
Speaker 1:He's like I bet I'll find all kinds of quarters, All kinds of change. Oh man, that's a one to end on right there.
Speaker 3:Sorry, no, no, no, I just heard about it, you know, and that's.
Speaker 1:I'm just picturing the people in the front like, looking like they had been in a Gallagher comedy show and they're just covered and they're like man, these rides are so realistic now Different kind of melon.
Speaker 3:Talk about a banshee. They throw real blood on you and everything.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 3:They throw real blood on you and everything. Oh it's crazy man.
Speaker 1:It sounded like a real human that we hit. They're like we'll give you a free day's pass.
Speaker 3:Yeah, fast pass, you get a free meal Fast pass, fast pass, rest of the day All right.
Speaker 1:Well, we appreciate you sticking through it. I hope you stuck through it for the four or five people that made it through it, or if you're listening to the audio. Uh, we greatly appreciate you, uh, hanging out with us again. Like I said, uh, we've missed it. We've been so busy. We've been doing trivia in the fall, in the winter and and the summer's just busy anyway. And then you're like in 14 dart leagues and just one right there.

And I guess, without, well, no One thing. What do you always say? Yeah, it's very important, and it's simply this. And again, we make light of a lot of things on this show, but life's hard, yeah. And again, we make light of a lot of things on the show, but life's hard, yeah. And I will say the hardest thing for me as a 46-year-old is there's a lot of people that you grew up with in life that are no longer with us. Yeah, and it's weird now, like it seems like every two weeks there's like oh, did you hear about so-and-so? Yeah.
Speaker 3:And you're like shit man.
Speaker 1:I wonder why everybody checked that obituaries growing up. Oh, and now you're like shit. Those people are younger than I am. Yeah, you know, like every day is a blessing. Yeah, it really truly is, and uh, but, like I said, life's hard. Uh, there's a a very important presidential election coming up and I don't want I would hate for relationships and friendships and family members members to come at odds over something like that.
Speaker 1:It causes a lot of drama. Just keep that shit to yourself. But there's a lot of things that people struggle with financially and other things that can just get you down, and it's a hard world to live in. Now Everything is just right in front of your face. So hak tui, hak tui In your face. But really, what I'm trying to say, more importantly than anything, is this if there's someone in your life that you think you know what they may be struggling, I think they're maybe going through some hardship right now. No, just know that they probably are. Don't think about it. Just go ahead and be assertive, reach out to them, ask them how they're doing, how they've been, or just let them know you care about them and appreciate them. You know it's hard. We're so busy with everything in the world today, but you got basically a mini computer in your hand. Text.
Speaker 3:Takes two seconds.
Speaker 1:Yeah, send a text, just shoot them a meme, send them a meme off our page and just saying, hey, I'm just saying hi this way, yep, you know, little things like that will go a long, long way. Yes, and even as close as we are and as easy it is to communicate, I'd be willing to bet a majority of Americans from time to time feel alone.
Speaker 3:Yeah, love to just have a little somebody reach out to them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and hock to you, hock to you, whatever it is. I got to lighten it up a little bit. It's after two beers. All right, I guess. Finally, without further ado, gibbler Puddin'. We will talk to them all next time.
