Ever thought about starting an "OnlyFans" account because of a single fan? That's how we celebrated our first subscriber, Chris, on the Roud and Loudy podcast! This episode is packed with laughter as we dive into some of the most ridiculous New Year's resolutions you've ever heard, including a brother-in-law's infamous golf course incident involving a towel and a tree. Our journey continues through the snowy streets of Michigan, where winter driving brings its own brand of chaos and humor—who knew a stubborn car hood could become a real-life survival challenge?
As self-proclaimed car enthusiasts, we reminisce about our childhood misadventures, like the painful yet hilarious memory of getting a finger caught in a Honda Accord's trunk at a car show. And let's not forget the wild tales from our college days, from cramped dorms and jungle juice parties to the chaos of receiving a shocking $1,300 unpaid electric bill that left us shivering in the cold. Through all the mishaps and misadventures, a unique blend of camaraderie and humor shines through, turning every challenge into a story worth telling.
Looking to the future, we let our imaginations run wild, pondering everything from autonomous vehicle crashes to Taco Bell becoming a health trend. We also speculate on rock band reunion tours, dream about the Detroit Lions winning a Super Bowl, and even toy with the bizarre concept of Kanye West as a life coach. So buckle up for a blend of nostalgia, humor, and outlandish predictions that will have you questioning if our podcast is a stroke of genius or just the ramblings of two crazy individuals.

And that's why we work so well. She's my fucking world. We rock Absolutely, just like Chris.

Dude, this year I'm going to blink and that stupidest fucking thing you've ever heard. That's what we're after, right? So if you want to listen to the previous top five, brad did one, I did one, and kind of the premise with it is we don't share it with each other.

So, yeah, once again, go ahead and listen on Apple Spotify, iheart, however you listen. So here's our recap of the top five worst new year's resolutions from episode two. All right, number five.

Speaker 1just how would you play around the golf? You wouldn't, okay, I? I have a story that we can interject here. So my brother-in-law yeah, and joe, you know who you are he had an incident at the golf course so quotations so he goes back to that golf course, right, I think like five years later there is still a towel in the tree that he used to clean himself.
Speaker 2Does it?
Speaker 1have strings. I'm sure it hasn't moved in five years, so I'm sure that nobody is no dude. If there's a towel in the tree, nobody's going to touch that right.
Speaker 2What color was the towel?
Speaker 1I think it was white, probably. Oh God, yeah, yeah, that's not a flag.
Speaker 2That anyone should fly Like the maintenance guy is driven by that every day. And, by the way, oh, weird shit stain on that Either Bigfoot's real or I got to clean this shit.
Speaker 3That's a bad day. That's a bad day to mingle One of these two things have to happen.
Speaker 2Oh, my God.
Speaker 1Number four, trying every drug A to Z throughout the year. So I actually listed all of them and some of them are wild, Like some area 51 cocktails that we came up with GHB, some, whatever.
Speaker 2US 47. I don't know, it was wild.
Speaker 1I don't remember what it was. You have to listen to find out yeah, insane.
Speaker 2I want number three. I want to be so good at smoking pot that I become a marijuana success story, the white snoop dog of smoking. Can you imagine if someone had that title? They'd have clout everywhere, like that, that would be the dude that can walk in anywhere and it's just like what up schwab.
Speaker 1Like I want that I want that anywhere I go, it's just instant. Well, you knowab like I want that I want that anywhere I go it's just instant. Well, you know what? I tell you what? If you don't make it as that, maybe you can be like the round and louty guy, you know yeah, oh my god, it's the right one.
Speaker 2Again I heard he's got one subscriber. Oh my god. Number two I want 2025 to be the year I finally get my taint waxed, and then we kind of split off from that and like tell it everybody, like can you imagine that? Like Walmart, hey, how you doing today? Yeah, not bad. Got my taint waxed and just straight face it, dude, just everywhere you go.

Speaker 1And number one. This one had me rolling dude. I fucking was crying over here.
Speaker 2And the best part about this is with these top fives is that I usually start with the one that I think has the least amount of bang.
Speaker 3Right.
Speaker 2This was number one.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, this killed me. And maybe this shows me I need to switch the tone a little bit. I need to go bang bang, boogie and bang bang boogie, you know Right.
Speaker 2So, number one I want to put a mirror above my head in bed so I can start appreciating my own handiwork. We're talking about how, like we watch our kids do sports, but we don't ever appreciate our own work. Right, you know, we watch all these different things, but Ah dude, I listened to that episode again. I did too. Oh my God.
Speaker 1Dude, I was crying. I saw stars, I was laughing so damn hard yeah.
Speaker 2It was just fantastic. That's what's so cool about this podcast, brad, is that we get to look back on this, you know, yeah, to look back on this.
Speaker 1You know, and yeah, hell dude, maybe this time next year we'll have four subscribers. I have a prediction for that.
Speaker 2Yeah, and I can tell my wife we have a fourly friend.
Speaker 1I don't know, I can't fourly friends, oh my god, oh shit.

Speaker 1How you?
Winter Car Mishaps and Stories
Speaker 2doing. So do you got any funny winter stories for you?
Speaker 1I do.
Speaker 2I have a couple tonight and to set the tone a little bit. We are in the Midwest, so part of this podcast is we are in Michigan, so we deal with a lot of snow. We're not in the UP so we don't get dumped on like crazy, but right now there's snow all over the roads and I really feel the effects of it.
Speaker 1I drive 45 minutes to work every day.
Speaker 2I drive close to an hour so and I have to go back roads. Yep, yeah, it sucks, dude I go.
Speaker 1I go back roads because, well, I don't know, you run into the people that that drive like 10 with their flashers on. Yeah, like get the hell out of the way. Okay, everybody out there that's listening. If you're one of those people, just get off the road for a minute, just stop. If you have 40 cars behind you, just move over for a minute and just let some people go. I get it. You're scared or whatever. You know, I don't know.
Speaker 2Stop being a dick.
Speaker 1Yeah, Dude.
Speaker 2I always get stuck behind buses and I get stuck behind like semis heading to Allegan? Why the fuck is a semi heading to Allegan? It's like what the hell are you doing? There's four businesses here, you know.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Oh, my God.
Speaker 1Anyway, they're the meth delivery trucks.
Speaker 3Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1Or they're going to pick it up. I don't know Whichever.
Speaker 2We're self-taught pharmacists. We're delivering in order.
Speaker 1All right. So my first story. This is back when I was, uh, I think I was around 20, okay, and, um, I had an 84 grand prix. It was a big boat, right, if you remember those dude. Those were sweet and uh, so I had my starter went out and it's the middle of winter, okay, and it's cold as shit.
Speaker 2Did it go out on the road?
Speaker 1No, I was actually. I was at my apartment where I was staying.
Speaker 3Okay.
Speaker 1Went out in the parking lot, I would go out to start it up and it doesn't start, right, fuck. So I go grab a new starter, because I work on my own shit, because you know, know, I'm just that guy and I've I raised the hood and those hoods. Back then they had springs on each side, right, they would hold the hood up for you. You didn't have to have the, the stupid rod in there that holds it up, which I understand why they do that now. Okay, so was it the latch?
Speaker 2but then it went to a spring.
Speaker 1So you pop the hood and you lift the latch, Yep, and then there's, it springs up and there's two springs on each side of the hood that hold it up.
Speaker 2Weird.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1And it was a giant hood, right, yeah? So anyway, I pop the hood and I get down there. I'm taking the starter off and I'm working on it. I'm laying in the snow right Under starter off and I'm working on it. I'm laying in the snow right under the car.
Speaker 2Under the car, I've got it jacked up and hoods up jack hoods up.
Speaker 1I got to jack saying under it and everything you know so, trying to be safe, and I have to shovel snow out of the way so I can get down in there, because we just got like six or eight inches of snow and shit is not going well. Like I take the starter, I'm trying to put the new one in, right? And there's shims and you got to get in there and get the proper fit and all that bullshit.
Speaker 2Pontiac probably wasn't known for their designs, right yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 1Which is why they're not here, right. So, for whatever reason, I pause Right. Sometimes you got to walk away, uh-huh. So for whatever reason, I pause right. Sometimes you got to walk away. So I'm over the hood, I've got both hands. I'm on the driver's side, I've got both hands over the fender, right. So I'm like I'm pissed and I'm like I just kind of give the car a shove down like son of a bitch, you know, and the hood drops and my right no, my left thumb okay, my left thumb gets shut between the hood and the fender.
Speaker 3So if you can imagine.
Speaker 1I'm on the driver's side right, my left thumb is there and I'm back towards the back and I can. I can reach the the side mirror right. So there's no fucking way I'm reaching the latch in the front. There is nobody around. Oh, it's 10 fucking degrees outside. What time of day it's? Um, we'll say four o'clock I don't know three o'clock four o'clock somewhere in there. So I end up I have to rip my thumb, my thumb out of the fucking hood where it's shut.
Speaker 1So to this day I still have a scar there. From where?
Speaker 2I ripped it out I had like skin, like pulled back and so kind of explain to me how your your thumb got, but you couldn't reach the latch. That's the only thing, if you don't mind.
Speaker 1So if you can imagine, I'm on the driver's side right Yep. My thumb is between the hood and the fender. Yep, I can reach the side mirror right. Yep, the latch is all the way in the front of the car.
Speaker 2Gotcha, I can't fucking reach it Okay.
Speaker 1So there's no way. Oh my God, how?
Speaker 2long did you sit there before you had to?
Speaker 1make Until I made the decision to rip my thumb out.
Speaker 2Dude. You had a real life saw moment, right when it's like dude. What if? The fucking doll came out of nowhere. It was like hey, Brad, how are you?
Speaker 3I know you want to start your 84 Pontiac Grand Prix today.
Speaker 1It's just not happening. But you have two choices. Yeah, so, dude it was. I was like fuck, what do I do? I'm like I'm looking around, there's nobody. I'm I'm calling, I'm like yelling, there's nobody. Nobody coming. I'm like shit, I probably, I don't know. Minute, minute and a half before I just decide to okay, here we go, did the nail just come right off no, luckily it didn't.
Speaker 1I think there was enough gap in there that it just peeled the skin out right just dude, before the next episode we have to look up what an 84 grand prix hood weighs oh yeah do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2yeah, it was. It was down and latched like I couldn't pull it out.
Speaker 1I'm trying to pull the the the hood back up. You know it's latched. There's no way. I mean, luckily it was down and latched, Like I couldn't pull it out. I'm trying to pull the hood back up. You know, and it's latched. There's no way. I mean luckily it didn't close all the way down, right, Otherwise it would have probably taken my thumb off.
Speaker 2This was not even in the plan tonight. So since you told that story, I got one for you. That's kind of crazy. So you know, the auto show in Detroit, I got one for you. That's kind of crazy.
Speaker 1So you know the auto show in Detroit, yeah, Like every year.
Speaker 2It's like the big one in America. So there's the like SEMA or FEMA in Las Vegas.
Speaker 1Did you say semen, sema or FEMA?
Speaker 2Oh, sema it's one of those two, but it's like a huge like.
Speaker 1Isn't FEMA the ones that are out of money?
Car Enthusiasts' Painful Mishaps
Speaker 2Yeah, they're not doing well, yeah, I don't know that I'd go to the car show. You know, um, so the big one in detroit it's at like coble hall. So me, so my dad and brother were really really big into cars growing up.
Speaker 1Like it was a big, big deal to them, like, like, they liked like the ferraris and the oh yeah the amberginis just really cool designs and yeah, I remember having those posters on my wall yeah, like my dad always read like road and track and stuff like that.
Speaker 2Like I was a huge sports kid so it wasn't really my thing, but like I was just geeked to spend the day with them, right. So my dad had like a I don't know 1999 Honda Accord, like the white one that has two doors Okay, fantastic, with the weird little triangle lights in the back right. Yep, so we get out of cobalt halls. We drove from kalamazoo two and a half hours. We get out. Obviously, all of us are ready to get the fuck out of the car, just like you do oh yeah I've that far.
Speaker 2We get out of the car and we open the trunk. We got like snacks and you know, a cooler back there, whatever. I'm rummaging through it while my brother was at the trunk before me and he was done. So, just like, it's like that knee jerk reaction, right Like. Like it's like when your wife's showering or something you got to pee and she's like don't flush, you know Like, and as soon as you're done, it's like what you always do, right, right. So my brother shuts the trunk, dude, oh, no shit.
Speaker 2My brother catches my middle finger dude, oddly enough in the trunk dude and I'm like 10 years old no, like shit dude, it was caught, completely caught in the trunk like like no wiggle, like like it's not coming out of there, like do you got wd-40 or? You know yeah so my dad is in a panic and like I can't even imagine being in that situation now, like with my daughter or my son. Like I love them so much that, like, if something were to happen like that, I'd lose it.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 2Dude, my, my finger must've been in there. I mean it felt like five minutes, but I'll bet it was 30 seconds and it was awful.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Get out my. My whole nail is just full of blood.
Speaker 1Oh yeah.
Speaker 2Like to just full of blood, oh yeah, like to the point that it's poking out the top, like that was so much pain, man, yeah and then to have to walk around a car show, yeah, for like six hours, and you know and your fingers just throbbing yeah, and the two people that you look up to the most.
Speaker 2They're geeked to be there and you want them. You want them to have fun, right. So like you can't even complain, but you're not even old enough to understand pain and you just went through that Like it was such a weird day, dude. I have a picture of me Like I still remember it because I'm wearing like a Michael Jordan jersey. Oh yeah, I'm giving a thumbs up and if you look in the picture like I, have my thumb cocked a little bit.
Speaker 2And like it, it looks like a really gangster person is really trying to make an impact with their middle finger the thumb out. I don't know if that makes a difference, but yeah, it's just my nails full of blood, oh shit. Anyway, oh damn so that wasn't even my winter story. I'm so sorry if we go over. That's all right, I mean, you don't get your fingers caught in trunks like that doesn't happen, right? We're Eskimo trunk brothers dude.
Speaker 2Oh my God, it's like one in the front, one in the back Paniac, honda, dude. Yeah, I've been there, you know. So I got a really, really, really funny winter story for you. So I'm going to take you back to the college years. All right, so 2010.
Speaker 1Okay, and I went, so I'm going to take you back to the college years.
Speaker 2So, all right, 2010, okay, and I went to what I went to western michigan university, so that's right. In kalamazoo, yep and uh, the golden years of learning, personal growth personal growth life lessons that no textbook could teach you oh, yeah, you know my third year was kind of a high a highlight reel of, if you ask me, thank you to the kind folks at bronco apartments.
Speaker 2So first year I lived on the dorms it was wild, I mean you have a, you have a roommate, you have a room that's, you know, no bigger than a utility closet, and don't you?
Speaker 1have to stay on the dorms. Yeah, it's kind of it seems like it's just a money grab, but in the in the end it is kind of cool because you get to stay on the dorms.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's so weird. It seems like it's just a money grab, but in the end it is kind of cool because you get to learn campus and you get a lot of your friends that way. So a lot of my homies were the people on my floor that we would just do crazy shit. We could do a whole episode on that dude.
Speaker 3We used to have jungle juice parties.
Speaker 1We may do that someday.
Speaker 2Yeah, jungle juice parties, all sorts of crazy shits Like filling up bathtubs with liquor and inviting 30 people to a closet to get all fucked up, did it? You know? Yeah, so, anyway, bronco Apartments. So this is my third year of college, right? Yeah, so these beauties were the equivalent of a dive bar, the apartment.
Speaker 3Okay, like if an apartment was a dive bar.
Speaker 2Okay, that's where I stayed, okay gritty, questionable, but somehow charming, you know, yes, yep, so only a only a broke college kid would really appreciate that too. Right, like you, like like my parents pulled up to like help me move in. They're like you gotta be fucking kidding me like this looks like shit.
Speaker 1Dude, are you fucking serious right now and you're like this is got to be?
Speaker 2fucking kidding me. Like this looks like shit, dude, Are you fucking serious right now and you're like this is great, Like, dude, it's a perfect two bedroom fucking bath.
Speaker 3Like dude, I used to live in a utility closet.
Speaker 2This is an upgrade. So the deal that they were running which is really weird is rent and internet was really what we had to cover. So we thought so water trash utility is recovered by them. Plus, it was really weird but you got a 40 gift card to get like cottage in, like a pizza place, like every other week or something. Okay, so like that's probably what draw drew us in, which is so stupid right like yeah, but I mean when you're a college kid.
Speaker 1I mean pizza is what you live on it's so true, but I want pizza and ramen noodles dude ramen noodle pizza needs to be created. No, no, nobody needs to create a ramen pizza. Yeah, no so long story short.
Speaker 2I I had a really awesome roommate growing up.
Speaker 1His name's jacko I mean just, you've met jack with the barbara bash. Just a fucking great guy right flew from fucking arizona yeah to be there at the party.
Speaker 2Just a fucking great guy Right Flew from fucking Arizona.
Speaker 3Yeah, to be there at the party.
Speaker 1What a fucking dude Yep.
Speaker 2Well, he's been one of my best friends my whole fucking life. I lived with him in college, so we got duped, right. So we go to this apartment complex. You know, they got the free pizza coupons, dude. Of course we're signing up for that shit, right? So it's probably December, it's close to Christmas, it's winter break for college, so it's got to be like mid-December, you know, probably sometime between December 15 and 25, 2010.
Speaker 2We walk into our apartment and lights are on in the hallway. And lights are on when you walk up the staircase, not when you open our door. Lights are off. Okay, we're. We're like six months into this. Okay, yeah, lights are off. It is so fucking cold in there. You can see your breath oh yeah like I wasn't worried about any of our fridge items or freezer items, like they're totally fine, right, right. So we freaked the fuck out, naturally.
Speaker 3Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2Like we got our power shut off, dude.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2So here we are thinking oh my God, we get pizza coupons and they pay our utilities, and they pay this, whatever right.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2Shadiest place in the world dude.
Speaker 1No shit If.
Speaker 2Denny's had like an office where, like, like the managers all worked. It would look like this do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3like, if like, all the dandies employees like had their own office like this is what it would look like, right?
Speaker 2so we called the electric company, just pissed off, and we're like we this has to be a mistake, right? Yeah, the deal is you guys cover utilities, you guys cover water, you guys cover trash. We cover the rest so we had to pay our internet and our rent, yep, so we thought it was a huge mistake and it was not in the way that we know shit at all. So they said you owe us thirteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 2We called up and we're like it's right around christmas time, like you gotta be fucking kidding me, right? She then tells me that it hasn't been paid in 14 months.
Speaker 1No, shit we've been there six, oh my god.
Speaker 2And honestly if I'm being completely brutally honest right now I never in a million years thought that that's how like electrical worked in an apartment. I thought it was either on all or nothing like right like like you either, have all the lights on or you don't.
Speaker 1Right. Well, you didn't have any.
Speaker 3Do you get?
Speaker 1what I'm saying though.
Speaker 2Like the other, the other tenants had their lights on.
Speaker 1I thought it would either be like the apartment lost it Yep, I didn't know it was individualized either.
Speaker 2Like it was weird for me, me, okay. So they tell us, 14 months, 1300 bucks. Me and jack were like what the fuck? Dude, fuck these people, fuck their pizza coupons, dude, you guys fucking suck. So we go in the office, right yeah, and they tell us flat out like if you want your heat turned back on, it's 1300 and from that day we'll be there in a week oh, my god like like like, talk about shitting on an arty, shitty situation.
Speaker 2Okay, it's like hey, if you scrap up money for, uh, that guy's rent that was here before you, you know the guy you've never met before and owe nothing to um. Also, it'll take a week because of your goodwill, fuck you wow so in a confused panic we stormed the apartment office right like we walk in there. We're hot oh yeah like absolutely, you know what I mean. Like like mom just found weed in the fucking in the phone in your in your room during your 14.
Speaker 2Like you hear that, like we're fucking done here, you know so we thought you covered this. You know we want we walk in this lady and she's just dude, yeah she she doesn't give a fuck.
Speaker 2No, she's smoking a cigarette in her office. Okay, fucking shit everywhere, dude looks like a hoarder house, like they could have done a documentary on cleaning her fucking office, right. So she's looking at us, she kind of like. She's just kind of like nope, we cover trash water, you cover internet utilities and rent. And then me and jacko had that light bulb click and it's like we've never gotten a fucking bill. We've never gotten a consumer's bill yep, right, yeah.
Speaker 2And want to know why I didn't look for one, because I didn't think I had to fucking pay it. I could have sworn. That lady told me that's how it worked, right. So she literally looks at me and janko, like when we have the slide balls, like okay, so if we're supposed to pay this, then where's our fucking bill? Why have we not gotten a bill?
Speaker 2yeah she looks at points and goes could be in the stack over there. There is a stack of mail, buddy, that is okay, you never fucking checked the mail. Okay, like eight foot high ceilings tables, maybe four, this stacks five deep. All of it's touching the fucking ceiling, buddy wow me and jacko, are going through this mail and just fucking scowling at this lady. Just what the fuck? Where's the fuck? We're like looking for our apartment number and other names that we don't even know exist. Yeah, you know, frustrating that shit is oh my god and, like me and jacko, both have anxiety.
Speaker 2We're both, we both made it. But like god damn, like talk about putting someone in a pressure situation, so she knew that there was a stack of fucking mail piling up and didn't say anything. Dude yeah, what the fuck. So yeah, so we look through 2 000 pieces of mail, like indiana jones looking for a fucking artifact from tenants, some dude. Some of this mail was dated seven years ago.
Speaker 1Oh, okay, so 2010.
Speaker 2Some of this mail was like almost y2k era oh shit yes, wow so that's fucked up I just stay at my parents and here's, here's the twist. That's kind of hilarious, okay, so just like a dorm we had. Uh, so in the dorm you share a bathroom with another, but like your rooms are connected by the bathroom right so same thing with this apartment, but we shared a deck. Okay, so same thing we didn't have to shit in the same place, which is really neat yeah you know.
Speaker 2But we could go uh, smoke a duve on the porch right marshall mark, great fucking guys. So we go over there to their apartment, which also doesn't have power. Okay, also happened to them, okay oh shit they're just like back then they were true blue stoners, just didn't give a fuck right like so they weren't gonna go down there and cause a ruckus, like me and jacko were. They were gonna let me and jacko go cause the ruckus.
Speaker 2Oh, yeah and figure out what the fuck's going on through us, right so this is the kicker dude, I stayed at my parents for like five days and, dude, that's weird, like when you're like 20 or whatever, and you, you have that independence and then you have to come back yeah awful, yeah right it was just weird. Not that I don't love them. They're the.
Speaker 1They're the shit, dude yeah, no, everybody gets that. Yeah, if you're out and you have freedom, you don't want to go back I come back five days later to the apartment to get clothes.
Speaker 2Like dude, it is freezing. So, like the first time you could see our breath. Yeah, this time, like when I walk in dude, nipples are hard Like it's fucking brutal. Yeah, I walked in there with a coat on, like a hat. You know I'm not a scarf guy. I don't even want to lie about it, but, like you know, I was bundled up and five days later walk on my deck. I realize that marshall and mark have been there the whole fucking time.
Speaker 1Oh shit, how the fuck are they surviving?
Speaker 2they got like their parents, live in town too that's the best part dude their parents live 15 minutes away, just like mine.
Speaker 1Do right dude, they got like a little uh pit, like a burn pile or something like that, out there on the deck Sleeping bags, a tent indoors.
Speaker 2dude A buddy heater.
Speaker 3Okay.
Speaker 2Lamps and, like Coleman fucking lamps everywhere.
Speaker 3Right.
Speaker 2Illuminating the sky, dude. Apparently they were doing their own fucking survival show. Extreme apartment living frostbite edition Five days. I still, to this day, have so much respect for them oh, yeah, yeah and those are dudes I haven't talked to in a while but honestly I love them to death, man and dude like. I tell that story all the time because it blows my mind and maybe they did go home, but I don't want to believe it that way right like sorry yeah dude, you want to hold up a hot dog.
Speaker 2I'm outside like smoking a cigarette. One of them holds up a hot dog. I'm outside smoking a cigarette. One of them holds up a hot dog like Schwab, you want a hot dog. And it's just like dude, they're nestled in. This is like a whole new spring break for them. They've been smoking weed, They've been eating hot dogs, they have camping equipment. Dude, they didn't have to pay a fee. They definitely didn't have to pay for the power.
Speaker 1You know what I mean?
Speaker 2oh my, probably not even paying rent at that point they're the true champions, right like bronco apartments taught me a lot. Okay, they taught me always ask who's paying the utilities. I think that's a key question now, you know like you know, when you start dating someone, you move in like, hey, you got this, or do I?
Speaker 2probably should ask that, yeah, just throw it out there and never underestimate the resilience of college students armed with a grill and a motherfucking dream. You know what I mean, like that's. But here we are, like staying with mom and dad hating it. Dude, come back five days later. Haven't talked to them, they're just nestled in and having a blast. No shit, yeah. Playing cards, dude with a whole, like like camp, like a camp like.
Speaker 2They could have started their own for survivorship, like a lantern that you like put the oil in. You know, like, like that kind of shit. They're eagle scouts, so like, they're very, like, very resourceful dudes, oh yeah nice, awesome.
Speaker 3That's awesome. Yeah, that's a great story, my best buddies, that's a great story.
Speaker 2And the best thing about all these stories too, everybody they're true yeah every single one of these. You can call my friend jacko right now. Be like tell me about the time that your power got shut off. You look, oh, my fucking god, you know, oh yeah, hey, jacko, you know hey tell us about the time that the cops knocked on the door? And eric was smoking down the apartment, blurring records, at 3 am on cinco de mayo, on a thursday oh yeah, I still got the scar on my thumb.
Sledding Mishap and Broken Leg
Speaker 2Dude, dude my middle finger like it's still like it's still yeah, I can show it to you now, you know all right, so I got a second story all right.
Speaker 1So this is when I was 14, okay, okay, and it was wintertime obviously, and where I lived, we had a gravel pit that was it was called. It was wintertime obviously, and where I lived we had a gravel pit that was on Big Hill Road, right.
Speaker 2Was there a big hill on the road?
Speaker 1Yeah, there was actually.
Speaker 2Fuck yeah dude.
Speaker 1So I actually went on maps and got the distance from my house to the gravel pit right, because when we were there there was five of us.
Speaker 2What town is this?
Speaker 1This is Sturgis. Grew up in Sturgis, Dude hot now. Oh yeah, they're the last one. I wanted to go there the other day, they were closed.
Speaker 2Try the ranch.
Speaker 1Are you a ranch guy?
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Dude, I haven't been there in years.
Speaker 2Next time you're there, trust me, okay, order your three burgers for six bucks, right.
Speaker 3Order your fries yeah.
Speaker 2Ask them for a side ranch.
Speaker 3They make it in-house and it is to die for dude. All right, I'll check it out. Continue the big river, the big hill story. Yeah, the big hill story.
Speaker 1Yeah, the big hill story. So it was 0.7 miles from my house to the gravel pit right. Yep, I believe there was four of us, four of us guys. There was me, john Corey and Greg how old were you guys. Everybody was around 14. I was 14. A couple of guys were probably 15. I'm not sure we were all about that age. Yep, and so we took our sleds there, right, because it's wintertime and there's a great big fucking gravel pit, there's a big hill right, yeah.
Speaker 1We're going fucking Mach 2 down the hill, right, yep. Well, we're all there and, for whatever reason, we find this great big plastic sheet and it's really thick. It's probably a half inch thick plastic.
Speaker 2Like at the top of the hill.
Speaker 1Yeah, we just found it somewhere in the gravel pit and we're like fucking A, this is plastic, this should go right. So we all get on this sheet of plastic, which is probably like a four by eight sheet of plastic, and we all get on and we're like, pull up the front like you would a toboggan, you know, and like home alone.
Speaker 2We're just going down the stairs, yeah okay, dude, we fucking flew.
Speaker 1I mean, we were fucking moving. Well, what we didn't realize was because our sleds weren't that fast and obviously you have all this weight right behind you. Yeah, so you're gonna get some more velocity and some distance.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1And what we didn't realize, was there a great big pile of tires in the middle of the gravel pit? Was it snow covered? Yeah, you couldn't see. Okay, we hit that fucking pile of tires and we fucking launched.
Speaker 2We're jumping this Holy shit.
Speaker 1Dude, we had to launch like 10, 15 feet. Oh my God, dude, we had to launch like 10 15 feet. So we're like we fucking get down we're all scattered right, we all fucking look at each other like fucking hey that was awesome.
Speaker 2Let's do it again. Oh my god, oh my god, right, only a 14, 15 year old, right so we get up, we're going. I don't know, we went probably three or four times right how big is this drop like, if you don't mind painting the picture like from like. Okay, so you're the top, I'm thinking ground.
Speaker 1I'm thinking it's probably. I mean, I was 14 right, so huge though yeah, I'm. I'm thinking it was probably 30 to 40 feet okay, so that's a big from the top where we started to the bottom.
Speaker 2Four people on the same sheet. Yeah, of plastic plastic, just flat. Of plastic Plastic, just flat plastic dude.
Speaker 1So we get down on like the third or fourth trip down. I'm in the front and we go down. We hit the pile of tires, just like we've done several times already. We come down and every fucking one of those guys land on me Right and my fucking leg is underneath and my leg breaks Like my foot. The top of my foot fucking breaks. Oh no, I'm in fucking agonizing pain.
Speaker 2So when you hit the tires, they all hit you.
Speaker 1No, we jumped the tires and everybody, all the guys, landed on me.
Speaker 2Okay, so everyone got airborne from the tires. Yeah, oh yeah, they're airborne, they're coming down. You landed first, being in front. Yep.
Speaker 1Everybody's fucking pile driving me. Oh God, so I'm fucking laying there, I'm not moving. All those fucking guys get up and go again. They just fucking leave me there. Are you kidding me? No, I'm not kidding they just kept riding, oh yeah, and they come down, and they damn near land on me again Every time.
Speaker 2Do they know your foot's broken?
Speaker 1No, I don't know it's broken Right, it's broken. No, I don't know it's broken Right. True, I'm just, I'm fucking in pain. So they come down again and they, they finally ask like dude, are you okay? I'm like no, not fucking Okay, Do you? I'd be up fucking moving with you and you know like do you think I'm sunbathing in this?
Speaker 2This is what I want to do.
Speaker 1So these guys realize you know like something's wrong. So basically that's the end of our sledding time, right? So there's the one guy, Greg, like he leaves, he goes and we walk down there, right we don't have a car, we have no vehicle.
Speaker 1We walk down there with our sleds. So, john and Corey, I get in a sled and they're pulling me back to the house Up the hill. Up we got to go up the gravel pit and then they're like through the woods and there's like other hills and shit that they got. I think at one time I got off the sled so that they could like have a break and I like crawled a little ways, but yeah, they pulled me 0.7 miles from the gravel pit back to the house.
Speaker 2I take off my boot when we get there, like I can't even hardly take it off yeah, it's my mom yeah, so over the river and through the gravel pit to bradley's house, we go right so, yeah, I get, I get home my boot.
Speaker 1I can't even hardly take it off right. My foot is swollen and everything. Yeah, I had a major fracture across my growth plate on my foot.
Speaker 2So I was in a cast and shit for the night. You know, it's like taking off a ski boot. That's too small, right, yeah, oh my God.
Speaker 1Yeah, so that was my yeah. Are you a?
Speaker 2big fan of sledding.
Speaker 1No, I mean dude, I'd do it again, but I'm not. I'm going last, right, I'm in the back. I'm going to Echo Valley, I'm going somewhere where I know if something bad like this happens. I can talk to someone. We're not trespassing right? Oh my God, dude, that's insane, it sucked.
Speaker 2That must have been a long day.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, I mean I don't know how long it took him to drag me back, but it was dark, I think. Three kids hauling it, two, the one guy I don't know he left, or whatever, I don't know. But yeah, johnny cory, I don't associate with people with broken legs.
Speaker 3I'm out of here right, yeah, yeah, dude, that's nuts, but yeah they were?
Speaker 2did your folks like freak out when you came home with a broken leg?
Speaker 1no, I mean, my mom was a little bit.
Speaker 2My mom was a nurse, so dude, mine she was fucking too no shit yeah, yeah, and I broke a lot of dude, I broke a couple bones too, like I'm just being real like yeah that's the best part, though. Like is when. So, my brother, like do you remember back in the day when they used to have like hills, like with, like flower, with like flower boxes in them? Like you'd have a hill by your house, you'd like throw a flower box into the hill.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, Sure.
Speaker 2Yep, we saw that and we're like we got to jump it. Right Like probably 10-foot drop.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2Okay, I get in the sled, my brother's, like, whatever you go, don't let go. Yeah, like fourth grade, maybe I let go, right, the first one to try out this technique, right? Yeah, I land so hard on my arm, dude, I go inside, I take my coat off and it is fucking huge. And like dude bones like popping out a little bit like not like out, but like it's protruding.
Speaker 2Yeah, you can see it under the skin, my mom is being so nice to me, dude, she's like, it's not that bad, it's okay, right, you know like hey, you know it's not that bad, it's okay, right, you know like, hey, you know, it's not that bad yeah.
Speaker 2Brother comes in, dude, your hand looks fucked up. Look, and that's when I knew, and that's when I panicked, right, right, your mom was trying to keep you calm. Yeah, she kept me calm. Who's that, you know? Oh my God. So I got another funny college story for you. So the first one about the apartments. It was very true, and Jacko's in this one as well.
Speaker 3Okay, all right.
Speaker 2Me and my roommate Jacko, and then our two suite mates were Joe and Ted from Traverse City and they were just the coolest dudes, yeah, Like just really goofy guys. So like, if you've ever heard me say the term, like doubt it. When someone like, like whatever someone says, when they're like hey, you never shot a par on this hole. Like doubt it, you know like that comes from them dude, like they'd say it about anything yeah it's just hilarious.
Speaker 2So the four of us were really into rock like and I still am so a big part of my growing up was going to concerts yeah I'm I'm still super passionate about music and I kind of, like you, know heavier music.
Speaker 2So, um, not not so much like blah, blah, blah, like screaming in your face stuff, but like I, like you, know alternative rock or like oldie rock, Right yeah. So we get a, we get a concert and we're all excited about it. We're college kids, we don't get to get out much, we're broke as shit. So we find a time in winter. To be exact, it was March 21st 2008.
Speaker 1March 21st.
Epic Concert Mishap and Future Predictions
Speaker 2We get tickets to go see.
Speaker 3Three Days Grace.
Speaker 2And dude, they're a great band. I understand that there's people out there that aren't a huge fan of them. That's fine.
Speaker 1Yep, fuck them.
Speaker 2Early, early. Three Days Grace and Adam Gontier's singing for them. They're insane.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2Like they're just. They're a talented group. Breaking Benjamin's opening. Seether's opening.
Speaker 3Oh, yeah, Like three really nice.
Speaker 2I mean to see all three of those bands now be a lot of money right like there's no way, that's a whatever. We paid 40 ticket yeah so we had floor seats at the palace man three days grace breaking benjamin's seether. We're fucking geeked. So we get in my car, which is a bowling alley.
Speaker 3I mean, it's an old buick, right like we call it the bowling alley because it smelled like pot and smelled like cigarettes.
Speaker 2Like a bowling alley, right right, so we take off at two o'clock, show starts at seven and it's sold out. I mean it's, it's epic, like dude, like this before stopover or whatever, but like I'm sure you could sell this ticket for 200 bucks, right? Oh yeah, we take off from kalamazoo to detroit, so we're heading to auburn hills area, we're going to the palace and it is dumping snow outside. Yeah, it is just awful. So I mean traffic is is moving slower than stephen hawking running a mile right like it's like like I truly, I truly feel like we could get there quicker, okay, if we were walking.
Speaker 2You know, like, like one of those days, dude, everyone's tense. We have 168 miles to go. Full-on fucking blizzard, dude. Like before we did the show I looked it up, dude it snowed like six to nine inches from 1 pm to 5 pm that day oh shit like full-on blizzard.
Speaker 1Dude, there's cars in the ditch everywhere, like not like one or two right everywhere dude like well, it was like 94, right yeah, and 94 is notorious for that dude and there's not like dude.
Speaker 2This is like before MapQuest, right? So like we're not printing out directions, thinking, hey, we're going to get fucked in a snowstorm. Like we should have alternative routes. Like that's not a thing, it's not a dude thing we just figure out how to fix it. Throw some duct tape on that bitch and let's go you know, I'm a duct tape.
Speaker 2So we sit in traffic, dude, and like hour goes by. Look down, like dude, we've traveled two miles in an hour. Holy shit, we left it. We left at two o'clock. Oh my god, we finally called it at six o'clock. Okay, we were so pissed off oh yeah yeah I live for that stuff yeah, I still do.
Speaker 3No, I still do how far? Did you go total.
Speaker 2If I had to guess, I would say somewhere in the ballpark of 10 miles. So oh my god so that's leaving kalamazoo, you know yeah that's heading, you know that's getting like to 131 to 94? No, not even close to battle creek buddy, we're talking like oakland drive 75. Yeah, we made it to sprinkle, you know what I'm saying? Like four fucking hours, dude like if, if, if, uh google maps existed right now, like that girl would straight up get on our fucking screen and be like you're not gonna make it.
Speaker 1You know like here's the. You're running late. You're still on the fastest route, dude. Here's the kicker. So we're pissed all of us right.
Speaker 2We're all out 50 bucks, we know it yeah we're all out in experience and we know it. Yep, like I don't know if we all try to even go to a concert after that, like me and jacko went to a lot. We saw blank. We saw a lot of cool bands but like I don't think and when I say we went to a lot, I mean like we probably went to 15 concerts a year- yeah.
Speaker 2Like this one we were geeked about. Right, right, right. Here's the kicker dude, ready for the kicker. It's not a good one. I'm shopping Christmas time. I'm at Best Buy, yep. Okay, remember, best Buy was a thing, yep.
Speaker 3That's where you shopped back then, oh dude.
Speaker 2Three Days Grace live at the Palace. They filmed their live DVD.
Speaker 1No shit.
Speaker 2That day.
Speaker 1Oh wow, that sucks that fucking day, dude Wow.
Speaker 2That we traveled 10 miles in four hours. Wow, they filmed their live DVD that night. Dude, no, we traveled 10 miles in four hours Wow they filmed their live DVD that night. Dude, no shit, I've never watched it. I can't, I just can't.
Speaker 1I just can't watch it, yeah.
Speaker 2And after that, like dude, adam Gontier leaves the band. They don't ever make another concert like that. Like dude, that dude. Can you imagine how electric that must have been? Oh, yeah, Well, Can you imagine how electric that must have been?
Speaker 1Oh, yeah, well, maybe you should watch the video and you'd know.
Speaker 2But also like Three Days Grace was on the up and up back then, so like they had just made it, yeah, like for venues around us right, like it would be like the intersection of Step 1. 20 Monroe Live is Step 2. The Orbit Room is Step 3. The Deltaplex is Step 4. And fucking in fucking van andel's step five yeah they're on step five right they're filming it yep they're fucking crazy dudes yeah I'll bet that was an epic show oh yeah, I bet we fucking blew it.
Speaker 1No shit, the bowling alley, you know what?
Speaker 2you should watch it dude, I don't think I can like it's just like one of those things like right yeah it's you're gonna get triggered like I. Yeah, it's like fear of missing out, like what the fuck he played this song like but, dude, you know they played like a 22 song set that night yeah, you know, they know.
Speaker 1Oh, I'm sure that show was awesome. Oh my god, yeah.
Speaker 2And here I am just fucking smoking cigarettes with my fucking sweet mates dude doing watching the snowfall yeah, fuck, knowing that in two years my power would shut off and it would be all right. You know, at At least we're not stuck in traffic. Right, like if Jacko would have said that to me come home like we're like seeing our breath, like at least we're not stuck in traffic, Brad fucking lost it.
Speaker 1Right, you know oh shit Well hey man, you know what time it is it is time for the top five.

Speaker 2We have to.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2We'll have to play this exact clip and go through it and just be like Brad you fucking blew it, like you know or vice versa, but yes, these are all the things we think are going to happen in 2025. All right, I have no idea what Brad's going to say, but I'm geeked about it, yeah.
Speaker 1So you know some of them. I think might be funny, but you know we'll see. So my first one rowden laudy will have 100 count at 100 subscribers 100 chris's.

Speaker 2flat worlder.
Speaker 1Flat earther.
Speaker 2Are you a flat worlder? Are you a flat earther? All right, no, seriously, that's a serious question Are you a flat earther?
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 2Okay, thank God. Thank God, because that's just like dude, I mean no, I'm not, but I you know what.
Speaker 1There's so many things that don't make sense like mosquitoes what do they do, mosquitoes? Yeah? I don't know. I mean, it's keen I have. I have a very good understanding of a lot of the things that I learned in science that I question now, like in science class in high school and shit. I question the shit out of it yeah, they're full shit.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, if I can buy a rack making kit at walmart for fucking twelve dollars yeah, I don't know that you need your job anyway, yeah.
Speaker 1So, uh, where was that number four? Number number four we're gonna have 3d printed sex dolls that's fully customizable and have an ai tailored personal preferences.
Speaker 2Oh my god, yeah, you imagine that oh, thank you, brad, you like me we love you long time would you like me to do the same thing I did last time, when you smiled so big Like just a robot oh my God, dude. But like you can print them at home, oh yeah.
Speaker 1I guess there could be a sextile army That'd be so creepy. Yeah, sextile army.
Speaker 2With AI and stuff yeah oh yeah okay number five do you send her through the dishwasher when you're done? Well, they told me on the news net to eat the Tide Pods. Is she allowed to? Because that thing's wrecked. You know what I mean. Like we got to clean this. I get it. It's not a dish, I'm going to clean it like it's one. Call it a spa for her. You know who wants to go to the spa? You know, oh shit and number five.
Speaker 1Okay, so we're coming out with all these EVs and electric vehicles and all this autonomous shit, right? Yep? So I think in 2025, we're going to have our first autonomous and autonomous crash. They will run into each other.
Speaker 2Like two people who are letting the cars drive themselves, but they hit.
Speaker 1Yep, they both fucking deserve it well, you know what, but that's the thing that's a big question for who pays for that? Yeah, who pays for that shit? I don't know. Yeah, so that's my top five. That's deep.
Speaker 2That's my top five dude, I'm kind of glad that we're not rich like that, though, like dude, if I had a car that drove like, I would spend a whole day going around like Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone, Like I'd have like the cheese pizza waiting for me I'd go to like the fucking toy factory, dude, Like you know what I mean. Can you imagine if me and you had driving cars, dude?
Speaker 1We'd get fucked up and just go around town.
Speaker 2I wouldn't want that though I don't, I, I yeah, I don't know, I'm not sold on that shit.
Speaker 1I like driving, I do, I do, I like, uh, having some control. You know the naps must be awesome though.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, you know we, we might have to interview someone that has a car that drives itself yeah, I've just said because, like I don't even know what that's like. Yeah, it's like staying at like the ritz carlton, like I I don't even know what that is like holiday end to me is awesome yeah all right buddy okay, I got my top five predictions for 2025. These are a little bit bold.
Speaker 2Some of them are crazy okay so number one, and these are things I kind of think are gonna happen, like I you know half-heartedly because, uh, this is a comedy podcast, so I gotta keep it fucking funny right right give the fans what they want, chris um. So I think in 2025. This is bold, but I I truly believe it. I think a team that has never won the super bowl will win the super bowl this year. Oh, there's only two teams that are left that could have that happen? The Lions.
Speaker 1That's a bold, bold prediction there buddy, the Lions and the Bills.
Speaker 2Do you know what happened to the Bills, Brad? They went to the Super Bowl four times in a row.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1Lost all four. Yeah, ooh, that's Dude. I would enjoy that. I would enjoy either one of those teams you know four times losing yeah, that's gotta hurt so bad like this is our year.
Speaker 2It's not. You know what I mean. Like yeah so the super bowl began in 1967 we're talking about 56 years, you know when the first super bowl bred the green bay, the green bay packers, over the kansas city chiefs.
Speaker 1Oh really, I you know who won the first Super Bowl? Brad the.
Speaker 2Green.
Speaker 3Bay.
Speaker 2Packers, the Green Bay Packers, over the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 1Oh, really, I did not know who they played.
Speaker 2Yeah, so I think the Bills or the Lions this year it's bold One's on NFC, one's AFC.
Speaker 1Oh, that'd be cool to have them both there so we can have Lions-Bills Super Bowl. That would be awesome.
Speaker 2That would be awesome, and it's time to send those fuckers home for a fifth time. Am I right? Oh my God, all right. Bold prediction number two All right, in this one, god, I hope this happens. I hope that a huge rock band will announce a reunion tour this year.
Speaker 3Okay.
Speaker 2And the ones that I have listed Ozzy Osbourne or Black Sabbath. I know he's frail dude, but Ozzy Osbourne lives to play music. Yeah, I don't care if he's sitting down, His voice is insane.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2Like say what you want about that guy.
Speaker 1He's changed the genre, he's still rock.
Speaker 2Dude, that's one guy that I just you know. I've been to so many concerts I've never seen Ozzy. That's the one that I'm dying to see yeah. And oh man, he's just electric. Or Black Sabbath, yeah, fuck Led Zeppelin. Okay, Dude, everyone's alive in Led Zeppelin.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2Except for John Bonham. So their drummer died right His son Jason Bonham, right his son jason bottom. They did a tribute show in 2007, so robert plant, jimmy page and john paul jones are alive.
Speaker 3They had um john bottom do the drums, yeah pink floyd david billmore and roger waters, both alive van halen.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, the beatles which I know, I know, know, but Ringo and Ringo and Paul.
Speaker 1Yeah, that would be tough. The Beatles would be tough.
Speaker 2I know it wouldn't be the same, it's not the same without John Lennon, and it's not the same yeah. It would just, it just wouldn't, it wouldn't be the same, but I think it'd be super fucking cool.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2But yeah, you need George Harrison there and you also need john lennon. I mean, they're just incredible. But so number three, bold prediction, all right, this is where it gets a little funny. But I think electric cars take an even bigger shit on the market, putting a lot of the main ones out of business, and I think that people will store them in the old kmart blockbuster bed, bath and beyond sears and jc penny lots and it will turn into a bad decision museum, right Like where parents can use that to show their kids like, hey, don't get cocky, all right, see all those cars there.
Speaker 2At one point people thought those were going to sell everywhere. You see that fucking store right there. Yeah, it's called Blockbuster. Yeah, used to sell stock for tons of money. Yeah, can't find one anymore. That's awesome. That's awesome and I think they're going to take a huge dip in the market. So like 20. So just to put it in perspective for you 2019 electric car sales 17.8 billion yep 2020 17.7, 2021 25 billion, 2022 40 billion, 2023 67 billion and 2024 59.8 billion.
Speaker 2So it's going down. Yep, I guess where they're going bad bath and beyond it's about time we figure it out what that beyond section is all right, yeah, beyond, beyond bad decisions a bunch of cars blinking, pissed off, like you know, you know, oh my God.
Speaker 2So I have another prediction that was kind of similar to yours, which I kind of enjoyed. So I think that in 2025, the Rout and Loudy podcast will gain a lot of traction and become part-time work for us in 20, 2026 or it's actually something a little more professional what do you mean? We're not professional I'm not saying that we gotta go get suits right, dude.
Speaker 2Funny, funny fact about me a lot of people know this dude, and so I don't wear suits a lot, as you know, right, yeah, but I've had to, and just like everyone else has had to. Every time I put a suit on buddy, I want to go fire someone in a random business like just random, like I want to go like three.
Speaker 2Walk up to terry dude, you're fired I want to go to fucking someone at speedway. You know? It's like hey, janice, I'm just letting you know we're done here. It's like what, what's going on? Um, yeah, i'm'm Bill from corporate. Like what I responded my manager's George, like I'm George's boss. No, George's boss is Steve, Like I'm Steve's boss too, Right?
Speaker 1You know, Just like walk in there, like you're fucking done, get your shit, you know.
Speaker 3Oh, my God.
Speaker 2I could never do that, though, because I have a huge heart. No, somebody. But like every time I put a suit on, I just want to go make a funny fucking punked video. You know, like janice, you're fired. Am I really? No, no, not at all. Wow, yeah, I think by 2026, I think okay. So I think by 2025 we're gonna have more subscribers, more listens, yeah, but I think by 2026 it's gonna be partially our job okay, part-time work yeah and that's not me being cocky, that's just me.
Speaker 2I fucking believe in us, dude, and yeah, and that's what it is like it's just like dude we're two fucking dumb asses right, we don't even know how this shit works, we're just like we're just fucking doing it we're just yelling into microphones.
Speaker 1So you know what, dude, I'm having fucking a riot yeah, and honestly, that's what it's all about.
Speaker 2Only goal with this is just making other people laugh and have a good day, like if you're having a shitty fucking day. Yeah turn this on and tell me you don't laugh.
Speaker 1If you don't laugh, dude fuck you, karen, I'll buy, yeah, I'll buy you some taco bell and we'll go talk about why.
Speaker 2Pc is not the coolest way to be, you know, like Like an adult, like a Christmas carol or whatever, taking a reality. You see, these people, they're not having as much fun as Brad and Schwab are. Right, yeah, I can guarantee it. Yeah, all right, number five. So I think that the OnlyFans platform in 2025 will crash because people will figure out that porn is also on the internet. Oh my god, there's a free version. Cool, I don't have to pay Miranda $24 every month to see her titties. Oh my god dude Right Free version.
Speaker 1Dude, to put it in perspective for you, though OnlyFans. Last year 60 billion dollars oh my god, really 60 billion dollars for the kicker, the nba 57 billion wow, really yeah, they outdid the nba last year. They didn't shake a stick at the nfl yeah, yeah, wow, but yeah, no, shit, that's so. So what you're saying is, we should have our only fans page, is there?
Speaker 2yeah, right we already do. We've got one subscriber and our fucking poor awesome friend chris would be so confused when we use this profile picture, right? But it's about you, buddy. Oh my God, did you have any? That didn't make your list.
Speaker 1Oh, predictions, let me look back. Yeah, one was air taxis. Air taxis Well, like drones, Like a tram car, but a taxi Well no, like a drone, like they're starting to deliver packages and shit like that with drones. Just having a drone taxi, like a flying car, dude, that would be sick. It would be, you know, it would be so sick. Let's see, the war in Ukraine will magically just end.
Speaker 2Without any statement, it'll just kind of just stop.
Speaker 3It'll just go away.
Speaker 1That'd be sweet and I think that's it. That's all I had for other predictions for this year.
Speaker 2I had some crazy ones, dude. I always go with like 10. It's insane. I'm like sitting there crossing them off. You know Diddy's list will have over 300 names on it that Kyle's coming up right I think some of them are gonna suck dude.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, you know like.
Speaker 2I think a lot of our athletes that like we really like are gonna be on there yeah, it's unfortunate, but I think someone will date an ai robot. Like fucking date an ai robot and like go public about it.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, like, like walking around meyer dude, like well, I mean that goes along with my 3d pen.
Speaker 2They're gonna be fully customizable oh my god, you know armies dude yeah whole fleets. You're not gonna get dude. What if doordash went with robots? So doordash is now delivering fast food, which is already like the laziest fucking thing you could have delivered. Right, right, it's fast food. It's called fast food because it's quick for you.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2And now you're getting it delivered Like it's already. A lazy fucking system.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2Sorry, if you guys like DoorDash, I do too.
Speaker 1But like it's just like when you're at home and you just don't want to leave yeah, I mean, I guess you know, but it's the same thing. I mean, we've had delivery pizzas for how long? I mean, we use. We both used to be those, those guys, oh dude I would deliver pizzas and like smoke a dube.

Speaker 2There's different reasons but nothing like driving through a snowstorm to give someone else a pizza like right like what a weird, what a weird frame of mind. Right, like, hey, you know what, I'm gonna take my car out here, I'm gonna drive through this blizzard and I hope that daryl's happy right yeah, so a couple other ones. Only fans university. I.
