Transcript

SPEAKER_00 0:14

Ready to pick up? I guess so. Sounds good, buddy. Ready? Welcome to the Cunt Mingle Podcast, where two old roommates reconnect after 15 years. We talk about anything and everything. I'm your host, Justin Mingle, and your co-host Brandon Laney's to my left.

SPEAKER_01 0:47

Hello.

SPEAKER_00 0:48

It's Cum Bingle. Alright. What's up? What have you been up to? Not a whole lot.

SPEAKER_01 0:54

It's been 15 years.

SPEAKER_00 0:55

15 years. Talk towards that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 0:58

We're already up on the back.

SPEAKER_00 0:59

No, I'm going to leave all that shit. This isn't NBC. People are going to see the mistakes and shit like that.

SPEAKER_01 1:03

I don't care. It could be.

SPEAKER_00 1:05

Yeah. Very well could be.

SPEAKER_01 1:07

It's been too long.

SPEAKER_00 1:07

It has been too long. Um we got into an argument the second you walked in the door. That was cool. Uh we I audio and shit like that, it's gonna be poor quality, but you're gonna be able to understand it. I had some wireless mics, and I think my fucking dog ate the thing that plugs into this because I just can't find it anywhere. And I had it no less than 15 minutes ago. So that's cool. That's cool. Um episode. First, we're gonna start. I think we start every episode off um, you know, with one thing we learned in the last 15 years, and then we talk about it throughout. I was gonna do that maybe at the end, like, you know, what'd you learn? But I think we're gonna start every episode with that, and then we're gonna do uh we're gonna do 10 things I hate about you. Uh we each got five five or so things that we uh hate about each other. Oh shit, I wrote 10. I know you wrote 10, but there's more things to hate about me than there is you. That's not true. But uh, I'll start. Um Wayne Dwyer said, change the way you look at the world, and the world you look at changes. And I think as you get older, um your perspective changes on life. At least it should. So that's one thing I learned in the last 15 years. How's that? I definitely agree with that. Yeah. Yeah. Um I'd like to tell you this episode's brought to you by Sheets Big Fizz, but it's not. But we do enjoy a good Big Fizz, don't we? Awesome. Brandon and I showed up, he showed up, and we both have Big Fizz. That's pretty funny. We are kind of a like. But uh, tell me, what's one thing you learned in the last 15 years? This is Brandon's first ever podcasting. I'm not really sure how to even word that.

SPEAKER_01 2:51

Yeah. Um how to like quantify it. Well, so I was on my way to a patient's house, and um I was having a red light, went green, and then I woke up with a Jeep on top of my car and this honey of a scar. Uh like I said, I was on my way to a patient's house and I was at work.

SPEAKER_00 3:09

And you ended up being a patient yourself.

SPEAKER_01 3:11

Essentially, yeah. Essentially, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:13

Where where were you?

SPEAKER_01 3:14

Oh, oh, in Blairsville. Blairsville. It's like 2021. So I mean like years ago, but really you really don't know what you're gonna face whenever you wake up. So prepared for change.

SPEAKER_00 3:27

Yeah. One thing, you know, you can't have change without loss.

unknown 3:33

No.

SPEAKER_00 3:33

Does that make sense? You if you're gonna change, you have to give up something. Yes. Yeah. I don't know where that's going. But um, so tell me about the wreck.

SPEAKER_01 3:44

Um I don't really remember it a whole lot. Really? Um like I said, the light turned green. I was feeling hot, just feeling sick that day, and apparently me and a Jeep collided and then a truck hit us. So you you uh passed out is what you're gonna assume. That's what I assume. I don't really remember everything. I woke up and my head was splitting and it was kind of disorienting, I guess.

SPEAKER_00 4:13

I hit a house one time with a car.

SPEAKER_01 4:15

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 4:17

In intentionally? Well, no, never intentionally. Well, I was leaving, uh, we went to track practice, and I went to this girl's house, and my friend and I were leaving. Um, I was supposed to be in a in a home. My parents were in uh Pittsburgh with my aunt who was suffering from cancer at the time, and they were taking care of her. So I had a little time to play with after after work, after track practice. And uh in Arcadia, I had a 1983 Sunbird. It was my first car I bought for $100. And let me tell you, that was a panty dropper. Yeah. But I bought the car and yeah, and I uh was heading, you know, there was a like an over 90-degree turn, and I didn't know it was there. And I think I don't think the car even had ABS. I think it just had uh old shitty brake system, whatever it was. Whatever GM was producing at the time. So I tapped the brakes and they locked up, and I went straight through the turn and I slid on the grass and went boom right into the guy's house. Knocked his it hit his bedroom, knocked his dresser the whole way across the across the room. But I didn't go into the house, I just hit hit the house. Like it knocked. Yeah, okay. Yeah, absolutely. Knocked. His name was Kevin, and I call that day knock, knock, knocking on Kevin's door. Kevin's to bed. Kevin, help us. Um, but yeah, I uh I learned from that day on to just be a little more careful, a little more diligent. But it's scary anytime you're in a in a wreck. Anytime you uh almost lose your life, I would say that you probably have some sort of perspective change after that.

SPEAKER_01 5:58

It definitely shows you that your life can change very, very quickly.

SPEAKER_00 6:03

Yes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:04

Uh things can be very different.

SPEAKER_00 6:06

Yeah. I watched a video the other day, this little boy was um golfing with his dad, and he leaned down to get a golf ball out of like the mud and slipped, and the club broke in half and went direct to his heart and carol. Could you imagine? You imagine it?

SPEAKER_01 6:27

I'm just it's just another reason I hate golf, really.

SPEAKER_00 6:31

Spend 40 bucks to be mad at yourself for five hours. Murdered.

SPEAKER_01 6:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:35

Uh by a club. By a club. There was a um guy that just in Florida just went to bed and his house fell in a sinkhole. Like, you don't fucking know when it's your time. Our time could be right now.

SPEAKER_01 6:47

Uh when your room's ready you go, is the good old saying.

SPEAKER_00 6:50

Yeah. Yeah. But um, do you want to get into 10 things I hate about you? Absolutely. Alright, alright. So I'm gonna say the first thing I hate about you is that you look like Eddie Monster from the Monsters.

SPEAKER_01 7:06

I don't know if that one holds water quite now. It did. It really did. Oh my. But uh the reason you're you're balling now, so you don't look so much like I said, well, the wreck didn't help, but it didn't help. It wasn't going that well to begin with. I'm growing the bangs out.

SPEAKER_00 7:23

Just a little off the top. A little off the top. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:27

I was telling you it's just like crawling down my back and ass. It didn't go anywhere. It's just got lost in the right place.

SPEAKER_00 7:33

Yeah. Great. It comes, it grows from your uh from your heart and it got lost on the way up. Just come. Oh shit. Uh alright, what do you got?

SPEAKER_01 7:46

What do I got? Well, geez. Well, in that same vein, I guess, we'll we'll jump around on my list, but um I hate the fact that I once had to Google who Anderson Cooper was because of you. It leads me into number four.

SPEAKER_00 8:04

Alright.

SPEAKER_01 8:06

You're Anderson Cooper looking like that.

SPEAKER_00 8:09

I got called Anderson Cooper by a lot of people and mostly strangers. Um I had no idea who Anderson Cooper even was whenever people started calling me that. Like, I don't watch CNN, you know. Uh lots of people call me that. I don't necessarily, I don't think I look like him a lot now, but when I was younger and thinner, I I kind of had his face.

SPEAKER_01 8:28

Yeah, nothing's really holding weight now.

SPEAKER_00 8:30

No. I uh I'm holding weight on time. Yeah. I uh um I did get fatter. I graduated at like 160 pounds, and when we were recording the uh I was going to the gym uh and I got up to like 250, like 245, 250. Did you know that?

SPEAKER_01 8:50

I did not.

SPEAKER_00 8:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:51

In a wild 15 years.

SPEAKER_00 8:53

It's a wild 15 years, yeah. I mean 100 pounds. And I um I think what what was going on is I'd let's say Monday I'd go to the gym and then I'd be so fucking hungry the next two or three days, I'd just hammer the food and then I wouldn't go to the gym again. Then next Monday I'd go to the gym and I'd work out and then I would hammer the food. But I worked for SurfPro at the time, and um I just rode around, I was a sales rep that ate lunch with customers and took them donuts in the morning. So I'd ride around and eat you know, three donuts with customers and then just sit in a car for eight hours. And now um I'm a sales manager at Evansburg, Yamaha. If anybody ever needs anything, uh we're gonna plug. We're gonna plug. We're absolutely gonna plug. If you got something to plug, you plug it. Um and I uh I uh the other day I did 24 two days this week I did 24,000 steps, but you know, both days, and I try to get at least 12 in every single day. How about it?

SPEAKER_01 9:52

Well, good job, good job.

SPEAKER_00 9:52

Clap for me. Clap for me. Um is it your turn or my turn? I think it's your turn, but um there are no limits to your weirdness. You No No Um None whatsoever. There was a time in you are like Petty Davis. If you if somebody if somebody wrongs you, you will you will do your best to to get back at him. Not maybe not now, because you you've grown up.

SPEAKER_01 10:22

No, no, that's not changed. Not changed? Anything it's gotten sharper with.

SPEAKER_00 10:26

Yeah, good. Well, it there was one night where someone was making fun of you or something like that, and I watched you rub beef stroban off into your armpits just to weird them out, and I appreciated that. Do you remember that? I don't. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:46

Number six, you know too much.

SPEAKER_00 10:47

I do know too much. So no number six, I know too much.

SPEAKER_01 10:51

Well, are we going hate? No. Absolute hate.

SPEAKER_00 10:54

Uh no, no, no.

SPEAKER_01 10:55

Well, you would say you're a good dude.

SPEAKER_00 10:56

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 10:57

You're too smooth. Too smooth, too smooth. It's too smooth, too good of a sales. Just envious, I would say. You're envious I I would say that that's more my list, is like envious qualities. Sure. I sprinkled in good stuff about you. Well, you know, I didn't want to be like, you know, you're a uh fuck you, you're a dick. Yeah, you know, no. Because of this specific thing that happened 15 years ago that I still have written down. I uh I just remember I have things too much.

SPEAKER_00 11:27

You also know too much. No. Um uh there's there's I'm I'm bipolar and I'm a normal person, so there's days where I don't have smoothness at all. I um did you know I was bipolar? Like officially. Officially, no.

SPEAKER_01 11:45

No, officially no.

SPEAKER_00 11:47

Um are there was there signs? Like uh you I was completely unmedicated whenever you and I lived together. Now not on anything, and at the time in 2010, you just didn't go to the doctor to get helps. You just dealt with it.

SPEAKER_01 12:01

Well, we were just in our twenties and just drank about it. It's a great idea.

SPEAKER_00 12:06

Yeah, just self-medicated, essentially. Uh you know, drink all night, work all day. Not I'm not gonna drink tonight, and then of course, you know it happens. But yeah, I uh uh that was there were very tough times um that I probably didn't explain like there were or or tell anybody about. But when I worked at Delaney's in 2007, you know, from 2007 to like 2009, I had such bad stomach problems where if I ate like one time I ate uh a Koy's hot sausage, or two of them, and as soon as I got onto number two, I had to use the bathroom so bad. It immediately came out of me. Like the peppers came out of me. I don't know. Listen, and I know it's not I don't think it's possible. Like, I couldn't have thrown them out the window and then hit the ground faster than they went through my 30 miles of bowel. Like, you have 30 miles of intestines? That pepper went 30 miles an hour through my body. I think it went faster than 30 miles an hour. Well, yeah, maybe 60. I'd like 60. That bitch on the magic school bus was she was that thing's got a V8.

SPEAKER_01 13:20

She gotta be inside. And you wouldn't know. Lily Tomlin and her crew.

SPEAKER_00 14:30

Um was born in 1950, got polio in 52, says he was supposed to die, you know, then, and his life expectancy was like 20, and he's 70, so just had a 76th birthday and beat lung cancer a couple years ago and still kicking ass with one leg.

SPEAKER_00 16:39

Not to pry too much, but do you have any diagnosable uh tell me your dick's darkest dick? But I'm very gonna be very open about my own.

SPEAKER_01 16:49

I would just say it's probably just like massively unregulated ADHD. It's just sure. They found my like Benny had it and they were like, test the other kid's shell, and she was like, eh. So Brandon's brother has it right now. You don't need to know that. That's a thing. We don't need to do anything about that. No. One of my we just made it so far, she was like, eh, fuck it. We'll see what happens with them.

SPEAKER_00 17:08

Yeah, and I I uh I I can't take ADHD meds because it'll put me in a full-blown mania. Oh? Yeah. So I uh all I want to do is um everything I want as fast as I possibly can.
