Three Guys Around a Table and The Best Of…
Gears Grinding: When Gas Pumps, HOAs, and Late-Night Texts Attack
Ready to commiserate about life's everyday annoyances? Join our three hosts—a lawyer, an engineer, and a school superintendent—as they unpack what really "grinds their gears" in this refreshingly honest and often hilarious discussion about modern irritations.
The conversation kicks off with a passionate rant about gas station etiquette, specifically targeting those who park at pumps and disappear inside before actually pumping gas. "If it says see cashier, I go to a different station," becomes the rallying cry as the hosts establish their unified stance against unnecessary pump-blocking.
Homeowners Associations come under fire next, with all three hosts sharing frustrations about power-hungry neighborhood governance. One host, a former HOA president himself, offers an insider perspective on how these organizations often expand beyond their original purpose of maintaining neighborhood aesthetics into territories of arbitrary control. From fence restrictions to trash can regulations, the hosts debate whether HOAs have outlived their usefulness.
The discussion takes several unexpected turns, exploring work-life boundaries with late-night texts, the noticeable quality difference in pasture-raised eggs (those bright orange yolks don't lie!), and premium butter preferences (Kerrygold gets unanimous approval). The hosts even touch on health trends like mineralized water and single-source olive oil, revealing their surprising knowledge about food quality differences.
Whether you're nodding along in agreement or finding yourself on the opposite side of these debates, this episode offers a cathartic and entertaining look at the small irritations that sometimes make daily life feel unnecessarily complicated. Subscribe now and join the conversation about what drives you crazy—we promise you'll feel better after venting along with us!
three guys around a table and by three guys.
Speaker 3:We're talking about three friends a lawyer, an engineer and a school superintendent and just like our personalities, our opinions vary and we certainly don't always agree. Whether we're discussing the best of or giving our tips and tricks of, things in everyday life, you're sure to learn something if you stick around. Do you know what really grinds my gears?
Speaker 1:not having enough oil in your rear end, that's true, oh hello this is supposed to be a pg wow, that's uh pretty good.
Speaker 3:So this one what about your transmission? Uh, I put that, uh the whale fat in there all right blubber's good Blubber's, some good stuff. Yeah, a little ambergris never hurt anybody either. So for those of you people out there that told me you fast-forwarded through our last riveting WWE playback, it was pretty good.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a lot of requests for more wrestling talk.
Speaker 3:You know, if you talk to Doug or Drake, I can probably tell you no.
Speaker 2:There are more than just those guys out there that listen to the show, but what's the deal tonight Before we do can? I just say shout out to our new listener in Vosges, in Eastern France let's go.
Speaker 3:You know, the last time I was in Vosges. I was in vosges I was in eastern france.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, seriously, man, raymond vosges, eastern france, shout out all right, let's go all right.
Speaker 3:What grinds my gears? This happened to me just a couple of days ago. I'm in a vehicle that requires diesel.
Speaker 1:I got one of them diesel gas. Did they call it diesel gas, because that drives me crazy?
Speaker 3:Oh no, when you get there, people are like you want some of that diesel Diesel. All right, so I go to get up there at the pump and it's pretty busy. I pull around to get to the diesel pump, yeah.
Speaker 1:Somebody's there. There's a car. There's a million pumps available.
Speaker 3:There's a car sitting right in front of the one that has the double thing. It's all available and when I got behind them I realized they're not pumping any gas. They're not pumping anything. I could see somebody in the passenger seat. Did they just park there? Nobody in the driver's seat, so I'm sitting there, I'm like, and they're blocking the pumps. Is that wrong?
Speaker 2:Should they not?
Speaker 1:have done that. Yes, they should not have done that.
Speaker 3:So I start creeping forward, creeping forward, creeping forward. Putting a little pressure on them, pumping the brakes, you know, revving the engine the whole deal and all of a sudden, literally it seemed like it was 20 minutes. It was probably three or four or five minutes. Finally, I see a guy come out of the store with his cup of coffee and he looks at me and although it was a smile, I think it was a snarky smile he comes out and I'm like great, get out of the way. Then he decides to pump his gas.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, that's a no for me.
Speaker 3:Okay. So then he stands there and puts in like 30 bucks worth of gas and then gets in his car and pulls off. So here's my pet peeve Number one when you go to the gas pump, you better be pumping gas or diesel. Yeah, when you're done, if you want to go inside, you pull into the parking spot and then you go inside. You don't block the pumps and you surely do not park there and go in first.
Speaker 1:You do, first, you do and quit calling me shirley, no well and here's the thing for me I drive a diesel truck, yeah, so if you've got gas tank, if there's gas pumps there and there's only one diesel pump, yep, go to the other gas can correct.
Speaker 2:Can I throw out what could have made it worse? It would would have made it worse, okay, if the car he was driving was an electric car, but you know think about this.
Speaker 3:I've had him block it before, which is ridiculous. It drives me crazy. But the fact that he went in first before he even pumped gas yeah, maybe he had to pay in time.
Speaker 1:He did and I watched him take his car and put it in the machine. Yeah, I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 3:Oh no, there is no.
Speaker 1:Look, I don't go in and pay for gas anymore. If it says sea cashier, I go to a different station Bingo 100%.
Speaker 3:I do the same thing. I do too. I refuse.
Speaker 2:I ain't doing that. I'm not going in there, and neither will Gunther. He'll tell you no, I ain't doing that he is.
Speaker 1:I ain't asking for the world Hill.
Speaker 2:The ring.
Speaker 3:So that's a pet peeve for everybody. All right, go ahead I think HOAs had a purpose.
Speaker 1:At one point I agree, but I think you get Okay.
Speaker 2:So HOAs had a purpose and for those in Vosges, france, and some of these other places they may not know what an hoa is homeowners association.
Speaker 1:So it's a, it's it's your neighborhood and they put restrictions in place. That says you can build houses of certain sizes, or it's got to have certain exterior features, like it's got to be brick or it's got you know or you can only build your fence right behind your footprint of your house and can't go into your backyard.
Speaker 1:So ridiculous but so I think there was a when they first come out, I think there was a basis for them, but now you've got people getting in charge of them who think that they are the Ex-county judge executive the gods of the neighborhood and who think that they nothing should happen in a neighborhood unless they approve it and that stuff's got to go.
Speaker 2:I think we've got our homeowners association president coming in on the fourth mic. Go ahead, welcome. Well, I'd like to say a couple things. First of all you guys are way out of line, way out of line.
Speaker 1:Homeowners association rule Are your? Is your grass been cut to the appropriate height, or is it too? Is it too tall? Now Let me explain something to you.
Speaker 3:The grass is.
Speaker 1:That's pretty good I mean I can't take them, I can't take it anymore.
Speaker 3:So I was the head of our homeowners association for a year and I'll tell you, of course you are.
Speaker 1:The reason they're there. Did you, did you?
Speaker 3:answer everybody's request. The reason they existed. Are you strong to the finish? Because you eat your spinach? Anyhow, they try to keep the aesthetics of the neighborhood the same, and I get that. Cut your grass, put your trash cans up, whatever, of course. Then what you find out is I would get people calling me or stopping me can you tell my neighbor right that they need to put their trash cans up?
Speaker 1:yeah, no, you know what?
Speaker 3:now the answer is why don't you tell your neighbor to put her trash can? Yeah, I don't care about somebody's trash cans no, then they're going to try to find you like 185 bucks because your trash can was at the curb past 9 am or some nonsense yeah ridiculous.
Speaker 1:Well, who cares about this?
Speaker 2:look, if you want to, if you want to put up a fence in your yard, you should be able to put up a fence in your yard. It's your yard, uh and oh, it has to be made out of this material and this color and this height.
Speaker 3:Does the fence have to connect to three other pieces, or apparently?
Speaker 2:not.
Speaker 3:No, it does not well, the thing is with the fence. You know I know of one that that the fence has to be in the footprint of the house. It can't expand but to the sides of the house. That's stupid. And if you're on a corner lot, that's stupid. You're gonna miss out on over half of your backyard. It cannot be inside your fence because they won't allow it to be that way, but you're on a corner lot. It's insanity.
Speaker 1:Well, I will tell you this the longer I've lived in a neighborhood with the homeowners association, the quicker I'm going to be getting out of it I because holy agree uh, my, the world will be a better place when I can come home and not have to see people once your world be, a better place when you don't have to see people Once your world be a better place when you don't have to see people.
Speaker 3:Period.
Speaker 2:And, like you said, I think that there was a time and place for them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you wanted a neighborhood to look a certain way, but you get people in charge of it who get power hungry and they try to overstep their bounds.
Speaker 3:Almost like they're county judge executives.
Speaker 1:Well, I mean it's just ridiculous. I mean it's like vote for me. I mean vote for me. I mean.
Speaker 2:So here's the question then.
Speaker 3:No, I'm not voting for you.
Speaker 2:If you buy an RV, should you be able to keep that in your driveway? I say yes, as long as it's not an eyesore Unsightly, Unsightly but who makes that decision? Yeah, I think it's like pornography Pornography. You know it when you see it. You know it when you see it.
Speaker 1:Well, I have committed many a violation recently in the neighborhood association Yep Yep in the neighborhood association.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, my, my, my 1060 horsepower, 582 cubic inch dragster with a 28 foot enclosed trailer is not really within the compliance of our don't you live? I live directly next door to the president. You know what?
Speaker 1:I don't't start at 8 in the morning, right.
Speaker 2:I wait 8.05.
Speaker 1:No it was in the afternoon, it was like at noon, 1 o'clock.
Speaker 2:If you ain't up by noon or 1 o'clock I ain't got no time for you. And has that person sent olive oil or their son castor oil over to no or sweet?
Speaker 1:pea.
Speaker 2:As the Hunter.
Speaker 1:Motorsports motto is nobody chases me, that's right. You know what happened.
Speaker 3:The good thing about the neighborhood associations is you would benefit from my neighborhood association, because the average age of the homeowners in my neighborhood are about 75 or older, so Mark's generation below mine.
Speaker 1:What is wrong?
Speaker 3:with that. Well, they don't care anymore how dare you? Listen what happened to me last week talking about homeowner association, my neighbor came over and banged on my door at 2 30 in the morning. That's a that's a good way to get shot 2, 30 in the morning banging my door. Thank god I was up playing my drums. Yeah, no kidding, let's go.
Speaker 2:So here's a question for you. This grinds my gears.
Speaker 2:You leave your phone on at night because your daughter's traveling, or whatever and you have to have it on there and one of your employees reaches out to you at 11 o'clock and shares some inane bit of information that could have waited. Not an emergency, no, exactly. And then you text back and say thank you, and then that employee texts back at 11 05 and says since you're up, I have another thing. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That grinds my gears. I'm okay with it I'm not that that's.
Speaker 3:my entire career has been that way.
Speaker 1:If it's not an emergency. It's not an emergency, were you up?
Speaker 2:Were you up? No, I was trying to sleep In similar fashion.
Speaker 1:Yes, I don't like when people send me emails that say I'm sending this email to you on a weekend and I don't expect you to respond till Monday. This email to you on a weekend and I don't expect you to respond to Monday, but here's the email I wanted to send you.
Speaker 3:Don't send it to Monday, then Real quick. Do you really think he heard his phone through this?
Speaker 2:Oh and it vibrated on his chest. That's not even the loud thing, it's the sound machine and the fan that's going there.
Speaker 1:How loud is it in your room? It's awesome gunther.
Speaker 2:Gunther lays there and looks he's like really the really yeah, the good thing is about.
Speaker 3:You know, I'll call somebody. I called a couple guys tonight after hours. I'm always man, I'm sorry to bother you after hours and I tell everybody I will not bother you, employee wise, I will not bother you after hours unless I truly need you. However, what grinds my gears on top of that is if the company is paying for your cell phone, mm-hmm, I expect you to answer it or return messages or whatever after hours or on the weekends, because I will not bother you unless we're friends. I will not bother you unless we need something or somebody will not bother you unless they need something.
Speaker 2:I think you bring up an interesting point, and that is the employees that you're speaking of. Does this include the servants?
Speaker 1:They're on call 24 seven.
Speaker 2:That's what I would assume we call them right well I've heard you refer to them as the help the butler the gardener, the maid, the chef, do you know what?
Speaker 1:do you know something in a similar vein that drives me crazy? Yeah, that, how much money.
Speaker 3:That he is you know, he's like Kramer Born into money.
Speaker 2:I invented the post-it note.
Speaker 1:It's something that drives me crazy. Do people send you calendar invites without talking to you about?
Speaker 3:it? Yes, and they can't see my calendar.
Speaker 1:Drives me crazy so happened tonight.
Speaker 1:I'm driving back tonight I get one and it says I'd like to have a meeting with you tomorrow at three o'clock. And I'm like no, and. And I write back and I'm like I'm available, I've got, I'm only going to be in the office till, let's say, 10, yep, and then they send one back 9, 30, no, I didn't say I didn't have meetings, I mean it's just yep. I mean if you want to schedule a meeting, let's get it scheduled, and then you can send me a calendar invite. But don't just pompously say I'm getting put on your calendar right now because it right now it's an automatic.
Speaker 2:No, I funnel it is an auto, I don't care if I'm available, it's a no for me dog. I funnel all that through my assistant. She handles all those calendar requests. Okay, now, since you brought that up, yes, well, I'm going to close this real quick.
Speaker 3:I can't take this stuff. My own company will send me meeting notices and the meetings conflict with each other all the time and I'm like to tab B and slot C.
Speaker 1:That's crazy.
Speaker 3:Oh, so we're talking about secretaries and assistants. In your case, my secretary has to be the worst scheduler of any assistant I've ever had.
Speaker 1:And I'll tell you what. This grinds your gears.
Speaker 3:This, really grinds my gears.
Speaker 1:Awkward. Here's why.
Speaker 2:This just got awkward. All of a sudden, this person get the job.
Speaker 1:Here's why it's terrible, and it's your current secretary that's still on there Temporarily.
Speaker 3:So here's what happens. Somebody scheduled me to be in Campbellsville at 6 am this morning. That's why you said did you get the cronut? I was sitting in the drive-thru at Best Donuts, which is the old Captain D's in Campbellsville at 543 this morning. I did not get the cronut. I didn't want to. You know, come on, I'm not going to mess it up yet. So I got some donuts and so I have to be there at 6. So long story short. I'm talking to this fella and he says I had to go down and do some training this morning, freya. To go down and do some training this morning, freya. That's.
Speaker 1:Chris's girl. Yeah, middle school teacher, let's go.
Speaker 2:She's taller than I am. We did our job at the Franklin County Public Schools. Seriously, 100%. I'd hire her right now.
Speaker 3:She's taller than me and wider than all three of us put together. Anyhow, I said, hey, I need to come down and do this training with you guys tomorrow. Do you want to do it tomorrow? Do you want to wait? No, no, no, we need it. We need it on Thursday. I said okay. I said what time you need me there? He goes well, we start at six. And I said, wow, you start at six. Okay, sure, I live in Frankfurt, you know about an hour and a. He goes okay. So what time are you going to be here? And I said what works best for you? He goes well, we start at 6. I said I'll be there at 6. So I roll down there. I get up this morning at 345. And I roll down there. I roll onto property at 5 till 6.
Speaker 1:So you were 10 minutes late.
Speaker 3:I unlock the gate, I unlock the building, I unlocked the building, I turn all the lights on and I sit there and I wait. What time did they roll in? And the guy that told me to be there at 6 rolled in about 6.04. Pass. And then the other people trickled in as late as 6.45. That's a hard pass, and I'd already scheduled another meeting in Danville at 830. And it's an hour from Campbellsville to Danville.
Speaker 1:Dang.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's a hard pass so we start at 6, which means we're going to. Well, we'll get there when we get there, don't worry about it. So, long story short, I've had three out of the four days this week where I've had to be up and gone by like five in the morning at the latest. So my secretary getting ready to get fired. You're on alert, you're on notice I got a new secretary.
Speaker 1:She's legit really yeah, I'm real happy with her my secretary's me, by the way terrible yeah, I have a new one for real schedules and she's, and she's legit is that the one?
Speaker 3:oh yeah, you told us about that, yeah she's legit.
Speaker 2:Well, mine I just fired myself. Mine keeps my stuff together. She does really well yeah, but so are we. Are we pet peeved out?
Speaker 3:I don't know. Man, I got lots of people go. I'm just, I'm just, you're you hate everybody, just tell them right?
Speaker 1:I mean, if you're breathing, I don't like you yeah, I mean, come on, man, I mean that's. That's where I'm at in life right now. That's the reason why Look, doing estate planning when people die. Yeah, oh, my God, infector, infector. My desire to be more like Larry David on Curb your Enthusiasm is coming through you know I've got and I'll let this go, but I've got one that I don't think you're going to let it go. Oh, this is terrible, man, I get so irritated.
Speaker 3:I've got people that'll call me up and say and they're not gossiping, it's just in business, there's some things you just don't need to know. Sure Right, some things you know. If I come to you and say, by the way, I saw this and I believe it to be unsafe, well, now I know about it and I can do something about it. Absolutely I can't ignore it. Yeah Well.
Speaker 3:I've got a guy that repeatedly will call me up. Hey, I was over here and I saw this man. You need to do something about that. So now I got to do something about it. Well, the problem is it's getting worse. It's like every day I get like two or three calls from Wasn't that the guy that we heard on the phone that day?
Speaker 2:No different guy. Okay, Different guy.
Speaker 1:No no, no, no no, not that guy.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:That guy? No, no, no, no. That guy. He's called on real quick. No, no, no, no, no a different guy and it wears me out. I don't want to know everything, I don't need to see everything, I don't need to know anything. Z force really, yeah uh anyhow, I don't need to know everything and don't tell me everything, so that really what about you and your job? Do you want to know everything?
Speaker 1:no, stay in your lane yes, yeah, I can see, you want to know everything.
Speaker 2:Well, look here, here's the deal. I really don't, um, I would prefer. What I like to do is hire good people, let them do their job, but keep me informed. If I need to know Right, sure Need to know basis. Otherwise I got way too many other things I got to deal with. And for the most part, I think my team understands that and does a really, really good job with that.
Speaker 2:I don't get too many of those, um, but this one particular one last night was just like you know, I I could have waited until the morning on that they thought you were sensuous.
Speaker 3:Um, since you was up, you might as well, since you were up. So um, yeah.
Speaker 1:So I feel better. Thanks for letting me get my gears out here. Well, what about this though? Yeah, I mean, I know we're going to do an episode on this at some point, but yeah, football starts pretty quick. Boom, college football next saturday not, not this, and well, I think there is a game. Saturday there's a game overseas but look, let's be honest, look. Real football starts next week. I think it's.
Speaker 2:Kansas State maybe playing someone in Ireland. My friends Annie and Craig are flying to Ireland to watch that game.
Speaker 3:Really.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and literally they flew out. Today they're going to the game they come back on. Like Monday, kansas State plays Iowa State.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but real football starts next weekend, lee, you know what? There's some great games next week, next weekend.
Speaker 2:Legit games Toledo, Kentucky or Texas, Ohio State. That's the game that's yeah, texas is number one right now right, yeah, yeah. And they'll be number one after that game.
Speaker 1:Mark thinks Ohio State loses.
Speaker 2:Yeah Look, mark thinks Ohio State loses. Yeah, look, we're starting a quarterback who's never taken a snap, basically.
Speaker 3:And Texas is starting Arch Manning, who not only started, Is the number one Guy in the country Texas and the NCC now.
Speaker 1:But anyway, we'll save all that for Another day. So you wanted to move on to so we talked about we made a trip to Ohio, not to Lima, because we talked about we made a trip to Ojai, not to Lima because we're still a couple of miles away.
Speaker 2:We know that.
Speaker 1:But during that we went to an Amish market and that got us talking about things like whether you can taste or think there's a difference between certain types of food, so like pasture raised eggs compared to commercial eggs, things along those lines or or farm fresh eggs you get off a person around here or something like that Thoughts on that.
Speaker 2:Eggs are a big one. Eggs are a big one. And here's the deal. And you know my take on this. Yeah, I only buy pasture raised eggs. Yep, I know my take on this. Yeah, I only buy pasture-raised eggs. Yep, I you know, I don't have expensive, I don't have the money that this one over here has, but having said that he's got his own egg farm and all of his eggs are pasture-raised actually he's like buffy will bring me the eggs.
Speaker 2:This morning that are fresh from the chicken you know the in will Wonka, the goose that lays the golden egg.
Speaker 3:Yeah, 100% what that is. Did you hear about the old maid that fell in the big vat of milk? No, I've never had a maid, so I don't know.
Speaker 2:It was pasteurized. Yeah, so pasture-raised eggs are legit and they are different. When you crack one open, you see the difference.
Speaker 1:It's bright orange. The yolk is just an extraordinarily different color, full of protein.
Speaker 2:And why is that?
Speaker 1:Because the chickens are outside and they're eating normal, natural things.
Speaker 2:They're seeing the sun. The eggs that are yellow the reason that they're yellow-yolked is because those chickens never see the sun. The, you know, the eggs that are yellow. The reason that they're yellow yolk is because those, those chickens never see the sun, right? So, uh, I think there's some we, we buy pasture-raised eggs.
Speaker 1:Love them? Yep, that's all I'll buy. I mean can eat them all.
Speaker 2:What about you? I don't know, we know what your answer is. You're just afraid to say it.
Speaker 1:You're 100% farm to table. Yeah, I mean Buffy goes out and gets the eggs every morning.
Speaker 2:You buy cheap Walmart caged up, if the chickens Great A-large. If they could be chained together, these poor chickens.
Speaker 3:You know what? I got behind a tractor trailer truck the other day, with nothing but chickens on it. Have you been up by one of those? There's cages stacked like 12 tall and it's like 15 across and as far as you can see, and it's just feathers everywhere going down the road and I bet each one of these cages has 20 chickens in it.
Speaker 1:It's sad so what about like butter?
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, let's add in the butter.
Speaker 1:This is different, I think you and I I mean this one. You're not quite. I don't think you're quite on board yet I'm not, but I understand.
Speaker 3:Hold on. Is it country crock or is it green beans?
Speaker 2:green beans what do you mean? Green beans, what are?
Speaker 1:you talking in my house growing up oh, when I was growing up we were only country crock people in the brown tub. So I mean we were only you, never knew if it was country crock or now I get it because you use it for storage absolutely but don't every got though mr about. Uh, we've only had carry goad this year. Wow, salted or unsalted, we get unsalted because I could salt it.
Speaker 3:You know, the best thing about carry gold is the melting point it's awesome.
Speaker 2:So carry gold. Do they sell it in normal sticks or is it because the only I've ever seen it in? No, you can.
Speaker 1:You can buy it in four sticks, four bucks, okay, yeah, or you can buy the huge block. I'm going to try it. You all have convinced me on this. We've bought the huge block, but we normally buy the sticks. But a big fan of it, yeah, I mean we.
Speaker 3:It's great.
Speaker 2:I usually buy. No, I won't buy, like the challenge butter or whatever they call it the right. I've heard about that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, uh, I usually buy like landa lakes, yeah, sure, uh. But I usually buy salted butter because I just like, because it's sterile and I like the taste, but, uh, I've been a big fan of getting it.
Speaker 3:It's more expensive, but it's uh, so it froths up, it's good I'm sure it's blue bonnet butter in the sticks, but we also have country crock, but when I go on my ski trip with my buddies it's always Kerrygold.
Speaker 2:So let me throw out a different one for you. Yeah, all right, just regular old milk, or do you do a fancy milk? I don't drink milk at all.
Speaker 3:You can have all the milk.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't drink milk at all. I don't drink milk either. I don't eat cereal.
Speaker 2:I don't eat cereal. Okay, so we get. Kerry gets the regular milk. I am lactose intolerant and I am all about the look. I know you may not be big into milk but you need to try the Fairlife milk.
Speaker 1:I have tried it. It's really good.
Speaker 2:And it's like $5 for two quarts or whatever.
Speaker 1:My boys used to drink the Fairlife chocolate milk because it's got more protein in it and things like that it does.
Speaker 2:Loaded with protein. I use it in the coffee, for the espresso, the lattes, oh yeah yeah, that's different.
Speaker 3:And that's what I've been making, like the lattes that I've given to you that they're made milk, milk only belongs in mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, things like that more of a cream guy for that, yeah yeah, what about? Cream what about the cream? Cream, what about the cream? Get on top in wrestling. Someone got cream in wrestling. You will.
Speaker 2:I'm embarrassed. He got merged up there.
Speaker 1:Anyway, now, one thing I haven't got to that I'm going to get to is cooking in beef tallow instead of using seed oils and things like that, is it true?
Speaker 3:McDonald's fries, their fries in beef tallow.
Speaker 1:They used to Okay.
Speaker 2:Okay, what about olive oil?
Speaker 1:Steak and Shake does fry their fries in beef tallow.
Speaker 2:What about olive oil? Big fan, do you have a like? It's got to be this. It's got to be just any old olive oil. As long as it's extra virgin, we use it. See, I saw a program and it was one of those you know, like how it's made, yeah, and I am now into making sure that the olive oil only comes from one country. I've seen that, yeah, because a lot of them that you get is, it'll say, olive oil from Spain.
Speaker 2:Italy and wherever Product of, yeah, product of all these different places. That just means they they're dumping a bunch of crap together.
Speaker 3:I want single source cold pressed, so so I brought a lot back when I've been overseas.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I brought a bunch back from greece so let me ask you this, yep so another big thing right now, because my boys are big into gary brekka and we can have a podcast about gary brekka, whether we think he's he's you know, gary, I have no idea.
Speaker 2:I have no idea.
Speaker 1:Okay, you have to look him up, he's he's the guy who um my boys are big into him because of dana white, so dana white yeah, dana white was a big dude and had terrible blood work. He worked, worked with Gary Brekka, who touts himself as a human biologist, and got his blood work all better things like that.
Speaker 3:He's big into this is the liver king, right? No, no.
Speaker 1:He's big into like breath work in the morning. You should ground yourself in the yard. You should walk barefoot in the morning to get yourself right. You should mineralize. You should drink mineralized water when you're just getting up. And when he says mineralized, it's like putting Baja Gold sea salt in 10 ounces of water and whack it back. They're big into that right now because they're big into the UFC. You all need to check him out and then we can have a chat about whether we think he's crazy or not?
Speaker 2:I?
Speaker 3:can tell you, right now I'm not drinking salt water. I can tell you that.
Speaker 1:I drink every morning Salt, baja Gold Sea Salt, so it's not like table salt. It's got 91 trace elements in it. I add it a one of those every morning. And what does it do for you? Uh, it's supposed to hydrate you better. Oh, I don't know if it does or not, but you'll look. You put in tiktok, put in gary brekka. There'll be a gazillion videos coming, but you'll just have to look at that. But okay, and just figure out whether you think he's a 29 and 46.
Speaker 2:29 and 46.
Speaker 1:But you'll just have to look at that and just figure out whether you think he's a kook or not. He thinks that he is. He thinks that if you get more oxygen in your body there's less disease. And he said that he thinks he's on pace to live to be 120 years old, 140 years old. And how old is he now? He's probably all right, Minding your age, he's not.
Speaker 3:I was going to say he's almost 110.
Speaker 1:He's a pretty interesting guy though. You remember that grocery store I told you that Hallie wanted to go to in Los Angeles. That was so expensive and it was like a trendy Whole Foods yeah, air One. He's got a shake in there that you can get. That's got one of his supplements in it called Perfect Domino, and I got it while I was there.
Speaker 3:Didn't taste great. You know there's this high dollar food market I used to go to to get shakes from called Piggly Wiggly.
Speaker 1:I love to Piggly Wiggle. You know, the bad thing is.
Speaker 3:And in Hilton Head it's still legit. I was in Mount sterling earlier this week and there used to be a piggly wiggly there.
Speaker 2:No more terrible so, uh, I gotta share something that neil degrasse tyson I'm a big fan of his uh, do you all know who? That is right, the scientist. Yeah, so he shared something that he says in the first 2 000 years of you know, um, modern civilization, I guess you you would say I mean developed civilization, not cavemen, and all of that the average life expectancy was 30 years old, fast forward up to as soon as they started getting a few things uh, medicine, wise, uh, in 1840 the life expectancy rose in the world to 35. So he, you know in, look at thousands and thousands of years, and then they're finally get to be a few developments, and those few developments only gave us five extra years. And he said something that was really fascinating. He says and back then everyone was eating organically, there were, there were no chemicals in the environment, there were, there was no pollution there was no industrial revolution, everyone ate everything organically and they lived to 35.
Speaker 2:that's right, he says. Do you really think that the, the, the stuff he says science matters in? In other words, you know, the development of vaccines and medicines and all that stuff? That's what's. Increased life expectancy to 76 versus? Yeah, I just thought it was interesting.
Speaker 3:Yeah, isn't that scary. I like all that stuff. That life expectancy 76 years old.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean so.
Speaker 1:I've got your age. I've got. I mean you're your age Right, I mean you're past it by how many.
Speaker 3:I've got negative 40. Negative 40. I get it. That's exactly right.
Speaker 2:Well, I think you mentioned Lima already.
Speaker 1:Well, there's one thing we have to mention because it's been a little bit Okay. Where are we at on our bet, let's do that.
Speaker 2:We're only one game back as of last night, of who?
Speaker 3:Of the third wild card team, but there's only 34 more games in the season.
Speaker 1:So so our bet is who has the better record, the cubs or the reds? Yes, and right now, I mean nobody's catching milwaukee. They're ridiculous, but the cubs are six games ahead of the reds, as we currently see it that's about where it's been's about where it's been for the last two months, which means they've both been 500 teams for the last two months.
