Ep. 12: Back Like We Never Left (Except We Did)

We’re back after a long silence, and we immediately do what we do best: tell on ourselves, crack drinks, and spiral into stories that start with golf and somehow end with video games, flip phones, and a school-lunch science experiment called “Chuck Juice.” If you’ve ever missed a friend group podcast that feels like riding in the passenger seat while the driver makes questionable choices, you’re in the right place.

Back After A Long Pause

SPEAKER_02 0:19

And we are back. What an intermission. What an intermission that was. Real wild on that one.

SPEAKER_01 0:28

Holy fuck. Holy mackerel.

SPEAKER_02 0:46

Well, you know, I got a house now. Got a new job.

SPEAKER_03 0:51

I bought an excavator.

SPEAKER_01 0:53

Very nuts. Very nuts. Yeah. No, if we're being honest, uh, our manager uh forgot the password to our account, and that's why we haven't uploaded a new episode in a minute.

SPEAKER_02 1:05

Yeah, we fired him though. He's gone.

SPEAKER_03 1:07

Yeah, I've been living in Argentina.

SPEAKER_02 1:09

Yeah, and I had to take a trip down to good old Texas. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:20

Yeah, I've been busy.

SPEAKER_02 1:21

Yeah. I actually I got an RV and I crossed the whole Sahara Desert in one take.

SPEAKER_01 1:28

I won $500,000 because I knew the Seahawks were gonna win the Super Bowl.

SPEAKER_02 1:33

I found an alternative I found an alternative version of fuel and the FBI took me for the last eight months.

SPEAKER_03 1:43

Yeah. I was in a coma.

SPEAKER_02 1:48

How was that?

SPEAKER_03 1:51

I didn't think anybody would ask a follow-up question.

SPEAKER_02 1:56

Anyway, can we talk about um how terrible my bets went today?

Dice Rolls And First Drinks

SPEAKER_02 2:00

Oh wait, we're rolling.

SPEAKER_01 2:02

How could you forget?

SPEAKER_02 2:03

I almost forgot the moral of our story. Rolling deep. Dial me in with the intro, Eve. All right, Chuck, you're up first.

SPEAKER_04 2:17

Wrong one.

SPEAKER_03 2:21

Chuck, you're up first.

SPEAKER_02 2:29

I rolled too early because I forgot. But I rolled a six. Way to make the comeback real. All right, here we go, E.

SPEAKER_03 2:46

Four.

SPEAKER_02 2:47

Quattro.

SPEAKER_03 2:50

Alex, go ahead and hit the dice.

SPEAKER_01 2:58

Five.

SPEAKER_03 2:59

Five banger out the gate. All right. Three, two, one.

SPEAKER_02 3:06

I cracked mine before. Sorry, team.

SPEAKER_01 3:11

Yeah. First drink back on the pod.

SPEAKER_03 3:15

Yeah, that is my first one all day.

SPEAKER_02 3:18

Oh yeah. Definitely didn't go golfing earlier.

SPEAKER_03 3:21

No. No, definitely did not go golfing.

SPEAKER_02 3:25

Definitely did not do that.

What Everyone Hates About Golf

SPEAKER_02 3:27

So, Alex, why do you hate golfing? Oh my god, I was gone. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 3:33

No.

SPEAKER_02 3:34

How many weeks straight did I ask you to go golfing with me? Probably six months ago? A lot. And how many times did you go golfing with me? Once. Zero. There's none. Alright. So what's your issue with golfing?

SPEAKER_01 3:49

I love golfing.

SPEAKER_02 3:51

Is it because I hit like John Daly?

SPEAKER_01 3:54

Some would call you the young John Daly, yeah. Perfect. Holy shit.

SPEAKER_03 4:01

What is up with this getting John Daly? I don't know. Guy's legendary. I heard John Daly strokes it. Yeah, he strokes it and smokes it. Yeah, John Daly just strokes the shit out of it. Oh yeah. Just gives it the shaft.

SPEAKER_01 4:18

We still talking about golf?

SPEAKER_03 4:20

Of course. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 4:22

We're still on the topic of golf, yes.

SPEAKER_03 4:24

Get your mind out of there, Alex.

SPEAKER_02 4:26

Yeah. So, Alex, if you had to say, what is your least and favorite part about the game of golf?

SPEAKER_01 4:33

Uh, my favorite part. Uh, probably the social aspect, hanging out with my best buds. Uh, my least favorite part, um, people being right behind you asking if they can play through.

SPEAKER_02 4:47

Well, if you played better, they wouldn't be behind you.

SPEAKER_01 4:51

Yeah, when you're right, you're right.

SPEAKER_03 4:53

Yeah, dude. We've been golfing about three weeks ago. We were uh the cart deal said we were like 32 minutes behind.

SPEAKER_01 5:00

Yeah, the whole time. Rough. Yeah. I'm like, we started on hole one and it was like you're 20 minutes late. Alright, what's your favorite part, Easton?

SPEAKER_03 5:11

Um, my favorite part is uh being shitty and then hitting the ball good every once in a while.

SPEAKER_01 5:22

And everyone you're playing with is like, oh hell yeah, everyone's giving you praise.

SPEAKER_03 5:26

Yeah, and then you feel like you actually knew how to do that. Like you just stroke it, and then you're just like, oh yeah, see, that's exactly where I wanted it to land, and then like deep down your mind, you know that there's like no way in hell that you actually could have done that twice. Yeah. But you just act like it, crack open another beer.

SPEAKER_01 5:47

Just keep on trucking.

SPEAKER_03 5:48

Wash it and wash your ball like it actually helps.

SPEAKER_02 5:52

I did a lot of ball washing today.

SPEAKER_03 5:54

Yeah, you just roll up to the next hole, you're like, yep, I'm gonna go hit the ball washer at a rough, rough patch back there. Yeah, that'll help.

SPEAKER_02 6:02

I think my putt would have winning if I would have washed my ball just one more time.

SPEAKER_01 6:06

One more pump.

SPEAKER_02 6:07

Yeah, they should start putting ball wash stations halfway through the hole. Because when I chunk it, when I chunk it and get my ball dirty, I think I need to- Yeah, nice halfway. You know where they put that pin usually or something for the one that should be a ball wash station. Uh okay.

SPEAKER_03 6:24

I think they should put ball washing stations just like around the community.

SPEAKER_02 6:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 6:34

Moist and stinky.

SPEAKER_02 6:36

They get dirty and dirt gets on them.

SPEAKER_03 6:39

Yeah, after a hard day's work, you know how you know, it's like, oh, I would like to go grab a beer, but I need my balls washed, so I gotta go home and shower for a while.

SPEAKER_01 6:48

Yeah, they got eye wash stations. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 6:52

You're like, if I could just wash my balls, then I could carry on with the day and then take like a full shower to later.

SPEAKER_01 6:58

But um Yeah, yeah, perfect. And so what's your least favorite part of golf?

SPEAKER_03 7:07

Um probably the same thing, probably just sucking ass.

SPEAKER_02 7:13

Yeah, I I'd say I think my favorite part of golf is one, it gets gets me out doing activities, but I think I'm with you on this one. It's one you're just just doing terrible. You shank your drive, you shank your next shot, you hit a tree, it goes back 50 yards, and you just think, wow, I really suck. But then you pull out your wedge or you pull out your seven iron and you just smack one. It's beautiful, hits the green, has rollback on it, it's coming towards the hole, and it doesn't ever go in, but it's a beautiful shot. It's a great shot. You love that tink sound. Yeah, yeah. I like it when someone has to fix my divot for me because I don't have one of those tools.

SPEAKER_03 7:59

Dude, I just uh I don't know if my driver or not my driver, but like my irons are just messed up or what. But like if I get a good stroke with an iron, it feels like when you're batting in Little League when you were a kid and you hit it wrong and it fucking vibrates the shit out of your hands. It's not as bad, but it doesn't necessarily feel right.

SPEAKER_01 8:25

Right.

Why The Podcast Went Quiet

SPEAKER_03 8:29

Man, Chuck and his freaking weak bladder, I tell you. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:34

He doesn't know this, but he thinks we're taking an intermission, but he's pissing outside my house.

SPEAKER_03 8:40

Yeah, he's freaking giving it the beans outside.

SPEAKER_01 8:47

No, but I'm I'm happy to be back doing this. Who knows if this is a one-time thing or how we're gonna go about it, but we wanted to do another episode for the one time.

SPEAKER_03 9:01

I knew I uh noticed that a lot of you guys missed us out there. I don't know if you were just trying to stroke our ego or what. But we did hear it out there. I'm not sure if you guys were just being nice or if you actually missed us, but I did hear a lot of like, hey, where's the pod?

SPEAKER_01 9:19

Yeah, hey, you guys haven't dropped a new episode in almost a year. And to be honest, that was not the plan. Uh just kind of happened.

SPEAKER_02 9:28

It was not the plan. But I, you know, I think I think that, you know, I was a big part of that because I moved all the way down to the max and then I got busy doing things. But we we we're gonna get a new schedule here. We're gonna we're gonna get a new schedule, we're gonna get things all dialed in.

SPEAKER_01 9:44

Might be a little different.

SPEAKER_02 9:46

Yeah, but it'll it'll be good, it'll be great.

SPEAKER_01 9:49

And then we'll still bring on guests here and there, and it might be easier when we figure it out.

SPEAKER_03 9:56

Yeah, probably not easier. It never really is easier to it never gets easier to drink six beers in a matter of an hour.

SPEAKER_02 10:08

Yeah, that is yeah, that is true. I guess when you put it like that. Yeah. Well, I I think we do a great job of getting them down. I will say, I listened to his country song today on my ride here, and uh, the guy goes, Well, I had like four silver bullets and three shots at Jack, and I couldn't get on my way back or whatever. And I was like, Well, not gonna lie, I think, you know, we put down some beer. Yeah, that's a normal that's 40 minutes on Rolling Deep. Yeah, exactly. And I'm like, this guy can't even get his way home. He's like, I woke up in the wrong truck, and I'm like, man, doesn't even know his own truck after that.

SPEAKER_03 10:48

Yeah, and pretty big gauntlet for the people that aren't the hosts of Rolling Deep. Like, if you haven't listened to it, check out Chris's episode.

SPEAKER_01 10:57

Oh yeah. Chris was shit faced.

SPEAKER_03 11:00

Yeah, he he couldn't handle the deep.

SPEAKER_01 11:02

Couldn't handle the deep. Look, hey I couldn't even handle our uh episode we did with Nigel. I was gone.

SPEAKER_03 11:09

You guys were rolling deep. Yeah.

Beer Cans, Bass Pro, Pedicures

SPEAKER_03 11:14

Have you have you checked out the new Bushlight cans? They got Bass Pro Shop on them.

SPEAKER_02 11:19

Yeah, it really makes me want to grab a fishing pole and get after it.

SPEAKER_03 11:22

Yeah. My brother-in-law said uh today I was talking to him, showing him the cans, and he was like, huh. I think they should start selling bushlight inside of Bass Pro.

SPEAKER_01 11:34

Yeah, because that's a lawsuit way. That sounds awesome.

SPEAKER_02 11:37

Like if you go into a like, you know, like a they have like the Starbucks and Target. Yeah, just a bar. Just a little bar in Bass Pro.

SPEAKER_01 11:46

Or it's like, you know, when you go like look at jewelry, it's like, oh, do you want a cardinal or one? Do you want a beer? Yeah, you want a beer? Yeah. While you're looking for new line to buy.

SPEAKER_02 12:01

But uh, fantastic. But they did have mimosas and I get a bloody mary there.

SPEAKER_01 12:08

You got a mimosa and a bloody marry?

SPEAKER_02 12:10

Yeah, while I was getting my feet done by a little little lady. Yeah, we just get tea, dude.

SPEAKER_01 12:15

Oh my Easton and I ever tell you that story? No. Easton and I went to get a pedicure once, and what did he? He was like, the dude was like, Oh, hot, like hot wax, and we were like, sure. And then he got brought out this wax stuff, and then he brought out two cups of tea, and he set them down by Easton and I. And I was like taking tiny little sips of it, but I wasn't a fan of it. And I think Easton finished his, but by the end of it, and the dude was like, You didn't like your tea? And I was like, No, I'm not, I'm not a big fan of it. And he was like, Drink it, and I was like, ha ha ha. He's like, No, just seriously, drink it.

SPEAKER_02 12:54

Drink the tea.

SPEAKER_01 12:55

Yeah, and he was like getting up in my shit about it. He was pissed.

SPEAKER_02 12:58

I'm surprised that it's not added to your fear list.

SPEAKER_01 13:01

It should be, dude.

Golf Rage And Course Meltdowns

SPEAKER_03 13:04

I don't want to come back to the golf, but this guy that we were playing with today, he was actually like pretty good, but at the end, he sliced his drive way left and just started giving the fucking beans to his driver right there at the T. He started banging it. Oh, yeah, he just started beating it, and he was like talking down to himself. He's like, You fat fucks, it's too fucking no.

SPEAKER_01 13:27

Yeah, it's like you know it's bad, you start self-deprecating.

SPEAKER_03 13:31

Yeah, he's like, Your wife hates you. And I'm like, holy shit, man. I I don't think it's about golf anymore, but he was just giving the freaking beat.

SPEAKER_02 13:43

Then he went to chip his ball up and he just absolutely just ate dirt. Like his club just ate dirt, and his ball rolled like maybe two feet, and he just beats it into the green. Like he's he's over there fixing divots that other people did, like, not even our divots. He's fixing divots all day and doing other stuff. And like, I watched him, you know, pick up things on the course that were, you know, and then at the end of it, he just beating the shit out of this green with this wedge just going after it.

SPEAKER_03 14:13

He's like, God damn stupid fucking guy.

SPEAKER_02 14:18

Your wife fucking hates you.

SPEAKER_03 14:20

We're just like, Jesus Christ, man. He's like I don't want to go off with this guy anymore.

SPEAKER_01 14:25

Yeah, did you guys just do nine?

SPEAKER_02 14:27

Yeah. The guy goes, Oh, are you playing 18? I said, No, we're only playing the nine. He goes, All right, well, have a good day. So I guess he had a whole back nine to play. Probably why he freaking eight.

SPEAKER_01 14:41

Yeah, because he's like, we're only on whole fucking seven, and I got a fucking wallet.

SPEAKER_03 14:47

Yeah, dude, he was literally just like.

SPEAKER_01 14:55

Well, I have my mommas. I I don't know what it is, but there are some times when my drives because my that's now my biggest strength when I tee off. Oh yeah. So sometimes sometimes I rage.

SPEAKER_03 15:10

Kraken number two. Yeah, I'm a I'm a huge tee off guy.

SPEAKER_01 15:15

And you're working, you're playing your slice a lot better nowadays.

SPEAKER_02 15:19

I will say, I've never seen someone's ball rise the way Easton's does. Don't know how he does it.

SPEAKER_03 15:26

Yeah, it gets up there.

SPEAKER_02 15:27

It goes like straight and then it just rises to the moon.

SPEAKER_03 15:31

Dude, you remember uh remember when I shot over the trees when we were playing?

SPEAKER_00 15:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:37

That same hole, I was like, yeah, Chuck, these were the trees that I that I hit over top of, and you were like, oh, right on. And I just freaking gave the beans to a ball that went so freaking far right, like same about probably the same drive, but completely missed the trees to the yeah, we had to yell for and everything.

SPEAKER_02 15:57

Oh, Jesus.

SPEAKER_03 15:58

I literally have no clue where it went. I think it landed on hole one.

SPEAKER_01 16:02

We we took a buddy out. Did we go two weeks ago? We took we took a friend out and he was like putting and yelled for.

SPEAKER_03 16:13

Yeah, he just shaken. Oh god.

SPEAKER_01 16:18

It was his first time golfing, so it was all good.

SPEAKER_02 16:21

Hell yeah.

Picking One Sport For Life

SPEAKER_02 16:22

Anyway, so Alex, what would be if you had to play a sport for the rest of your life? What would be your sport?

SPEAKER_01 16:33

Do I get to be good at it?

SPEAKER_02 16:35

Uh yeah, yeah, yeah. Like at a professional level.

SPEAKER_01 16:38

I feel like it'd be kind of fun to be like a WWE wrestler. Something. Does that count?

SPEAKER_02 16:49

Yeah, I like that. I like that.

SPEAKER_01 16:50

What would be your name? I don't know. I would want to be like a luchador. I would want to wear a mask and do some crazy shit.

SPEAKER_02 16:57

Like Jack Black?

SPEAKER_01 16:58

Nacho Libre. I mean, yeah, I thought. Yeah, like Rey Mysterio, Sengata. That's good.

SPEAKER_02 17:05

That's good.

SPEAKER_03 17:06

What about you, E? Like, I'd I'd probably just like to be really good at golf. Or or or a professional cornhole player. That that's pretty that's pretty sick.

SPEAKER_01 17:21

But you're not gonna shoot anyone, right?

SPEAKER_02 17:23

Yeah, you're not gonna shoot anyone in your Tesla with Oh my god. What?

SPEAKER_01 17:30

You don't know about that.

SPEAKER_02 17:30

You haven't heard about the quadruple that shot that shot someone?

SPEAKER_01 17:34

Shock filament. Okay. Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 17:36

So there's a like a I think his national championship cornhole player. Yeah. Quadruplegic, no arms, no legs, was driving and shot the guy in the passenger seat.

SPEAKER_01 17:48

I got into an argument with him or something and shot him.

SPEAKER_02 17:51

With no arms.

SPEAKER_01 17:53

Shot the guy with no arms and no legs. No, no, no. The guy with no arms. The quadruple had a handgun and shot the guy in the front seat, like his friend or whoever was riding with him.

SPEAKER_02 18:05

Yeah, I guess they were in an argument about a girl.

SPEAKER_03 18:08

I wonder how the quadrupleic prison works.

SPEAKER_02 18:11

No, I think he just goes to prison.

SPEAKER_01 18:12

They just like Yeah, but that's like But you can't really cuff the guy because he's got no wrists. They gotta put him in like maximum security. They just gotta throw him in a pool.

SPEAKER_03 18:27

Jesus. Oh holy fuck.

SPEAKER_04 18:33

Got him up.

SPEAKER_01 18:35

Got him there. Chuck's like, well, there's a $13 dog kennel we can get from Dollar General. It's just fucking with that part of the fact.

SPEAKER_02 18:43

Toss him in there. Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_03 18:46

What the fuck? Yeah. I think he'd be a good swimmer, honestly. That's intense. I mean he could shoot a gun, he could probably swim. He throws cornhole and like wins champions.

SPEAKER_01 18:56

Yeah, no, he it's actually really crazy watching him. He likes airmails and shit.

SPEAKER_03 19:01

Yeah, with his butt cheeks.

SPEAKER_02 19:03

His little nubs.

SPEAKER_03 19:05

He does like a backflip and clinches really hard. Releases at the right time.

SPEAKER_02 19:11

So um talking about that, anyway.

Micro Wrestling And Blue Chew Ads

SPEAKER_02 19:14

Did you hear about the wrestling that's gonna happen April 28th in Portland, Alex? Uh it's a little person wrestling.

SPEAKER_01 19:21

Oh, the micro wrestling. Micro wrestling. I see a lot of their TikToks.

SPEAKER_02 19:27

Yeah, me too.

SPEAKER_03 19:29

I'm not on the same algorithm as you guys.

SPEAKER_02 19:32

Okay, well, your algorithm's not as fun.

SPEAKER_01 19:35

Wait, actually, you know what, Chuck, since you're here, the episode we had where you weren't here and it was Nigel. We talked about this. Do you ever get ads for Blue Chew?

SPEAKER_02 19:44

Yeah, I get ads for Blue Chew all the time.

SPEAKER_01 19:46

Yeah, yeah. See, I think Chuck and I are on the same wavelength here. Yeah, why did you not get ads?

SPEAKER_02 19:50

Alex deals. Do you not get ads? Ads for Blue Chew?

SPEAKER_01 19:53

No. Easton claims he's never gotten an ad for Blue Chew. False.

SPEAKER_03 19:59

I'm fully functional. Well, so am I.

SPEAKER_04 20:03

What the hell are you doing here?

SPEAKER_02 20:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 20:06

Well, somehow it made it its way to your guys' algorithm.

SPEAKER_02 20:09

So well, my boss told me one time you gotta take one of those rhino pills. Okay. He said he took a rhino pill and he lasted forever. You just go to your local gas station and find the one that says rhino on it.

SPEAKER_01 20:27

I just kind of imagine like you go to you're going to work, you get you know, breakfast sandwich, you get a white monster, and whisper. You can also get a rhino pill up.

SPEAKER_02 20:38

Can I also get one of them rhino pills? No, I don't think you got a rhino pill for work.

SPEAKER_01 20:43

I think not for work, but what, you're gonna get on your way home? Yeah, it's an on your way home thing. Like, oh, yeah, let me get this bag of talkies, a chicken strip, and one of those boner pills.

SPEAKER_02 20:54

Right. You so you're telling me you guys don't buy things like at the end of your day that you wouldn't buy in your beginning, or would you just buy it all?

SPEAKER_01 21:02

No, when I get off work, I just want to go home.

SPEAKER_03 21:04

Oh. Yeah, usually I just try to find the nearest shitter.

SPEAKER_02 21:08

Yeah, that's pretty

Road Trip Bathroom Disaster

SPEAKER_02 21:10

it. I like that. I uh I was on the cell tower, no portage on. I had to drive all the way down the road, all the way to a chevron. It took me about 20 minutes. Didn't think I was gonna make it. I don't know who I told that. Did I tell you that, Alex?

SPEAKER_03 21:26

Maybe that's the worst.

SPEAKER_02 21:27

Whoa, it's so bad. So I was in Yakima, and I wouldn't got Popeyes. Delicious. Next day, driving home from Yakima. If you've ever drove from Yakima towards Portland, there's a section there that's 43 miles with no gas station. Well, I had to shed, and I shit my pants. And so I'm literally holding this water. I had like a case of water, I'm poked a hole in the top of this water bottle, spraying my ass just. Cheeks out because I had nothing to wipe it with, and then literally this trucker rolls by and he just honking his horn at me, and I was like, Well, that's great, that's fantastic. So that was probably one of my favorite moments of my entire life. But it's like, so I rode home and just just a t shirt. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 22:22

So your ball sack was just sitting on the seat?

SPEAKER_01 22:24

Yeah, I just yeah. And you couldn't wash your balls.

SPEAKER_02 22:28

No, I I I sprayed it off. I had some soap with me. Yeah, see, the ball washer would have been nice. Yeah. And that's where we roll back the story. The ball washer every now and then would be pretty nice.

SPEAKER_01 22:41

I have a gut feeling the title of this episode is gonna be something about washing balls.

SPEAKER_03 22:46

Yeah, good old ball wash. Yeah, washing balls and balls washed. It's uh I watched the role of the

Car Wash Fear And Tailgate Chaos

SPEAKER_03 22:54

story.

SPEAKER_02 22:54

I watched a TikTok of this lady and she was in a uh drive. Like uh one of those where you drive through the car wash a car wash, and uh her tailgate c or her um trunk comes open while it's getting washed, and the thing just sprays directly onto her groceries. Oh yeah, I've seen that.

SPEAKER_03 23:17

I thought it I actually was waiting in that video because it was like one of the auto washers that goes around your car and the uh her like trunk door was open. I was waiting for it to like hook her trunk door and just fucking get it. Rip it up, just fucking rip that freaking thing just clean off.

SPEAKER_02 23:36

But it bent that bar.

SPEAKER_03 23:38

Yeah, yeah, and then she just drove off. And uh that's why Alex is scared of car washes.

SPEAKER_01 23:46

Uh yeah, is that the reason? Well, not car washes, one car wash in particular.

SPEAKER_02 23:52

Which one's that one?

SPEAKER_01 23:54

Kelso. Why? Because Easton always drags me there. What's scary about it though? Dude, it's so claustrophobic, and every time Easton forgets to fucking unscrew his antenna, and then I have to like rush to unscrew it, but he's already going through the car wash, and I don't want to get wet and soapy.

SPEAKER_02 24:12

Have you ever thought about this? Have you ever thought about just remembering the antenna?

SPEAKER_01 24:17

I did last time.

SPEAKER_02 24:18

See, you're dialed in. See, I think I'd be more scared of the Kelsa car wash because I'd be going through it, and then like some tweaker would just start looking the windows.

SPEAKER_01 24:29

What also makes me nervous about it?

SPEAKER_03 24:31

Tweaker would be getting his balls washed.

SPEAKER_01 24:34

What also makes me worried about it, there's no one else there. Easton, I think, is their only customer.

SPEAKER_03 24:39

Yeah, it's like two stalls. It's like me, and then the homeless guy that's just got his freaking leg spread trying to get his balls washed.

SPEAKER_01 24:47

He sees Easton's truck slowly coming towards him, and he's nodding his head like, Yeah. Yeah, now I can finally get my free ball washed. And the worst thing, Easton will have something in like the tailgate and be like, oh shit, I forgot that's in the tailgate. Grab it. And then we're already going through. So then I have to like James Bond and fucking crawl through or run out, grab it real quick, throw it in the back. It's it's anxiety.

SPEAKER_02 25:10

That sounds like anxiety.

SPEAKER_01 25:12

Yeah. I think a lot of my it's fun.

SPEAKER_03 25:16

It's fun, you know.

SPEAKER_01 25:17

It's good old-fashioned fun. A lot of my fears on my fear list, I think, are uh from East and driven adventures.

Why Old School Truck Parts Win

SPEAKER_02 25:25

You know what I hate? What? Trucks that have hubs where they go, hmm, I gotta put it in four-wheel drive. Get out and get the hubs. Hate it. My boss said to me the other day.

SPEAKER_03 25:42

My dad purposely requested that he had lock-in hubs when he bought his truck.

SPEAKER_02 25:47

Probably just to make sure you get out and get them.

SPEAKER_03 25:50

He had the truck built from scratch and purposely requested hubs.

SPEAKER_02 25:55

What a play. Just so when it's snowy outside, he can go, hey, get the hubs.

SPEAKER_03 26:01

He also purposely requested manual roll-up and roll down windows, and they told him that it wasn't an option anymore, and he was pissed. He's like, okay, I guess, since it's literally not an option, but son of a bitch, I really wish I had manual roll-up, roll-down windows.

SPEAKER_02 26:21

Well, it makes sense because they break less.

SPEAKER_03 26:23

Well, yeah, I think that was his point with all of it. Well, because he also didn't want the knob for um uh four-wheel drive. He wanted like the shifter down on the no, they did. Oh, they did that, yeah. But he was like, I don't want the knob. I want to he's like, if I if I can put it in four-wheel drive down there, then I know that it it'll be I don't gotta rely on like the knob.

SPEAKER_02 26:47

Computer. Some sensor goes out and something goes out, and then you can't get in four-wheel drive, even though it works fine.

SPEAKER_03 26:54

Yep, and then so so he wanted it, he didn't want the freaking knob, but he wanted to have hubs that you'd have to hop out and it's like give me that thing on the floor so I know that I can get in the four-wheel drive. But I still want to be able to get out and lock the good old hoblocks. Jesus. With

Hot Dog Craze And Trend Cycles

SPEAKER_03 27:40

I'm gonna know is where in the hell the hot dog craze popped up. Like hot dogs have always been like good, but I feel if like of the last like three to four years, people are just like, oh my god, hot dogs, I love 'em.

SPEAKER_01 28:01

I eat 'em for every meal. Yeah, you see like Instagram reel videos of some guy with like a 1996 Honda Civic and the whole dashboard's just full of hot dogs and coarse lights.

SPEAKER_03 28:12

Yeah, like where in the heck did that pop up from?

SPEAKER_02 28:14

Yeah, and then you can go get a Polish dog with you know relish and like the fancy they make like fancy dogs nowadays and stuff.

SPEAKER_03 28:22

Yeah. Like it just popped up out of nowhere to have like hot dogs are just like a normal, like, hell yeah, male. But listening to Creed.

SPEAKER_02 28:33

If you're talking hot dogs, you gotta talk about the Costco dog. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 28:38

That thing is long.

SPEAKER_02 28:39

That thing is long and cheap. Long and cheap. Jesus.

SPEAKER_01 28:48

Yeah. I got a Costco hot dog t-shirt. And it gets the job done.

SPEAKER_02 28:55

Long and cheap, baby. Stop, stop saying that.

SPEAKER_03 29:02

But um, no, for real though. Like, I just I mean, like a lot of things in the world, like it just all of a sudden gets super popular out of nowhere. Like, I even feel that about, and I know that we might catch some shade for it, but that's what I even feel about like Taylor Swift. Like Taylor Swift re-got popular again.

SPEAKER_02 29:26

Like she like three, four years ago.

SPEAKER_03 29:29

It's like she changed her genre and then got super popular, and people were like people have been fans forever, but not like this die hard until like of the last four years. I feel like.

SPEAKER_02 29:43

Yeah, I feel like maybe there's just more news about it.

SPEAKER_03 29:46

Yeah, I have. I just like, but I mean, same thing with hot dogs, same thing with uh I don't know, I can off the top of my head, I can't really think. But stuff like that happens all the time to where it's just like, ooh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:02

Or like the uh Stanley's craze. Yeah. And all Stanley's you can find in like TJ Maxx for like 15 bucks.

SPEAKER_03 30:10

Yeah. Like it's just like, oh yeah, that's a functional water bottle, and then everybody's just like, holy shit, functional water bottle. Look at that thing.

SPEAKER_02 30:18

Yeah, like yeah, no, dude. Someone uh I know got one of those, you know, the old school Stanleys that's like a thermos. Yeah. And they're like, oh my gosh, that thing's awesome, blah, blah, blah. And it's like, dude, you could buy those all the time, you know what I mean? But it's just because it's a craze, you know.

SPEAKER_03 30:37

Yeah, I mean, I just like even Carhart is like that now. Yeah, like people friggin' rock. I mean, which I don't give a shit. I mean, Carhartt makes some nice stuff that you can not just wear at work, but like everybody's just like, oh yeah, Carhartt. Beanie's freaking sweatshirt.

SPEAKER_02 30:58

Like, I love Carhartt, but you know what I don't like about Carhartt? Their jeans.

SPEAKER_01 31:04

Yeah, they're pretty stiff and rough.

SPEAKER_02 31:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:07

I feel like we live in a world now where things that are older are now more popular. So, like, I mean, you see it on TikTok a lot, like different trending like songs that came out in like 97, early 2000s, but now they're like super like Creed. Yeah, like I was saying that earlier. Like, I feel like Creed is arguably the biggest they've ever been, but they've been around for over two decades.

SPEAKER_03 31:36

Like, yeah. Like I just I just I don't I mean, I guess I can't really say that I'm indifferent because I think it was yesterday, the day before. I don't know. I was

Flip Phones, Slang, Getting Outdated

SPEAKER_03 31:50

telling my girlfriend that I wanted a flip phone.

SPEAKER_02 31:52

Oh Jesus. Flip phones are kind of awesome, though.

SPEAKER_03 31:56

That's what I said. And she was like, for what? I was like, to call and text.

SPEAKER_04 32:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 32:02

It's like I was like, it'd just be so much easier. And then she was like, How? And I was like, because it'd just be like ring ring, and then you just like flip it open and just press up.

SPEAKER_02 32:12

Hello, there we go. And you wouldn't have all the rest of the nonsense that's on your phone, you know. Yeah. I get stuck, I get stuck with the non like I'll watch TikTok, you know what I mean. If I'm not doing anything, I'll watch TikTok for three hours, or go on Instagram reels, or look at people sing on Facebook, and before I know it, it's like three hours pass, you know.

SPEAKER_03 32:35

Dude, I I aspire. I can't wait till the day that I get outdated. Like it's slowly happening, like now, and I'm like very okay with it. Yeah, I heard some like I can't wait to be the old guy that's just like holding his phone like six feet away from his face, being like, I don't know how the hell to work this thing. Like, I can't wait till I have that excuse.

SPEAKER_02 33:00

But like right now I know how to do it everything on my phone, so it's like what about like the sayings and stuff like Oklahoma and skibbity nonsense and yeah, yeah, I'm like Ohio. That's what it is. Yeah, it's like I don't know what any of this means. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_03 33:18

Like, we're slowly getting there, but like I can't wait till it's like actually something of use that I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 33:24

Yeah, I just don't the slang is just wild to me.

SPEAKER_03 33:28

Yeah, like I aspire to be that like old guy that like his kids or his grandkids are like, Jesus Christ, you can't figure this out, and I'm just gonna be like, I'm not even trying to figure it out.

SPEAKER_02 33:43

I gave up a long time ago.

SPEAKER_01 33:45

Dude, that happened to me last week we were training.

SPEAKER_02 33:47

Once they got rid of Blu-ray, I was out.

SPEAKER_01 33:51

That happened to me last week we were training this new kid, and we were talking about music, and we were talking about like the SoundCloud era of music, so like Uzi, Pump, like all them. And he was like, dude, like, could you imagine being a teenager during that time? Like, that shit must have been so cool. And I thought about it for a second. I was like, oh, yeah, I I I was I was a teenager.

SPEAKER_03 34:16

Yeah, I'm like, you never heard of coffee bean.

SPEAKER_01 34:19

Shout out, coffee bean.

SPEAKER_02 34:21

Shout out. Yeah, it just the times change, you know, and I think it gets wild watching it.

SPEAKER_03 34:28

Yeah. And I just think that it's like everybody thinks that their time has it figured out.

SPEAKER_02 34:38

Yeah, that is weird though. Every generation's like, oh, my generation, my generation. Or my or everyone's generation got screwed more.

SPEAKER_01 34:46

Yeah. Could you imagine being like 80 years old today and trying to figure out what the hell a QR code is? Oh, dude.

SPEAKER_02 34:54

How about trying to figure out a cell phone?

SPEAKER_03 34:56

Dude, I just think it's it's gotta be so confusing just to be.

SPEAKER_02 35:03

This guy goes, We got a flip phone, and he literally goes, Hey, can you show me how to make a phone call on this thing? And I was like, I don't know why you're looking at me. The guy's probably uh if I had to say like probably 16 or 17, and he comes to me and asks, Hey, we're just outside of a Walmart. And he goes, I just got this. Do you know how to make a phone call? And I was like, I don't know. Hit the green call button, and he hit it, and then he went right to his contacts.

SPEAKER_01 35:33

And I was like, Hmm, all right, well, probably just click one of those. You guys ever see the videos of uh like older people? Like they think they're watching like an NFL game, but it's just like a YouTube Madden game. Yeah, and they're like, Oh yeah, look at my homes go, and they're like, Grandma, that's that's Madden. And they're like, it's football, and you're like, Yeah, I it's Madden.

SPEAKER_03 35:59

Dude, I mean, you gotta you gotta give them grace, but at the same time, like I mean, yeah, I know that like we've been accustomed to like phones and technology like our whole lives up to this point, but like sometimes it's just like well, how in the hell do I get to the camera on this thing? It's like you see that square looks like a camera that says camera right below it, they're like, Yeah, like press on it.

SPEAKER_01 36:36

Yeah, they're like and then they click on it and then they're like, Well, how the hell do I do FaceTime? Is this not FaceTime?

SPEAKER_03 36:42

Yeah, but I mean, like, I mean, I understand just because it'd be like someone um it'd be like going to like a foreign country and just being like, How in the hell do you ask this guy for milk? And then them just being like, you see the milk behind the bar, ask him for it.

SPEAKER_01 37:02

You know, so it's like I think about that shit all the time, though. It's like no different than like, I mean, because the first video game ever was like Pong, right? You know, just like the two white lines that go up and down. But think about that, but then think about like GTA 5.

SPEAKER_02 37:18

Talking

CGI Vs Video Games Getting Real

SPEAKER_02 37:19

about stuff like that, I watched the newest avatar movie, and I think the CGI in the first, like the CGI in the first avatar movie was better. Because I watched the the the the last one and it felt like video, like it felt like a video, like a video game in some some spots, or like the lady was talking, whatever. It was like it felt like what a video game nowadays is, but then I was thinking about it and I was like, wait, did CGI get better or did video games get better and now I'm comparing CGI to video games? I'm I'm just convinced like you know what I mean, like it's like maybe I was comparing the wrong thing. You know, keep going, Alex.

SPEAKER_01 38:07

I'm convinced in like thirty years or more, video games is literally just gonna be like somehow just like normal video of like real people, but you can somehow just control it. Like probably like I I know that sounds like weird to say, but it's just gonna be super weird.

SPEAKER_03 38:28

Dude, I just think I have a little bit like different opinion just because I feel like to me, and I don't know if I'm just like judging too harsh, because like if you go back in time and play like an old video game, then you kinda understand it. But I don't really think video games look all that real. Like some people like if they haven't seen like you're playing a game of Madden, like someone comes and watches, and it's like, Holy shit, this looks really like real, but like to me, I'm always just kind of like, I mean pretty obviously. Oh yeah, yeah, like there's still like I don't know. There's still a big like there's still but then you go play like Madden 10, and then you're like Yeah, I guess it looks more real than that, but like it doesn't like side by side to a real NFL game, not even close.

SPEAKER_02 39:27

Well yeah, but I think if you have memory, like for like the older people, if you have memories of you know, like TV switching from black and white to color, or like because like my grandma talks about like when she got a her first TV that had color. And it was like, so if you went from that and seeing like Madden, yeah, you know what I mean? Like I could see how people could confuse them.

SPEAKER_03 39:55

You watch like the Andy Griffith show when you're a child and now you're watching like Pacific Rim, yeah, like that's just or like Kong versus Godzilla, like something like a huge spectacle, which is crazy wild because like as somebody obviously who plays and watches both like Madden in the NFL, is it's like that's actually like I can see where it could be crazy, but that's like actually what I'm waiting for is for one day to like play and then like not be able to spot a difference, yeah, whatsoever, which I think obviously what they're always trying to go for is to have more than that.

SPEAKER_02 40:37

That's probably gonna I think that's probably gonna happen in the next 10 years.

SPEAKER_01 40:41

Yeah, that's what I was saying. Like, I feel like that's what I look forward to. We're gonna have it's just at this point, it's gonna be like full-on like face scanning. It's gonna look realistic, yeah. Like that's what I'm saying. Like, even watching, like like I talked about GTA earlier, like even watching like the GTA 5 like cutscenes. I mean, obviously, you can be like, oh, that's a video game, but it looks like pretty good.

SPEAKER_02 41:02

Way better than it did in the San Andreas, which San Andreas pixels. You know, I played when I was like really young with my brothers. Yeah, but it looks like cartoony, and it looks like it's weird to think like you go from like San Andreas and then like uh what's the next one?

SPEAKER_01 41:20

Five or whatever, or four, yeah, four, and then to five. But even the jump from San Andreas to four was like kind of huge.

SPEAKER_02 41:28

Pretty crazy, and then the jump from five, and then what's six gonna look like?

SPEAKER_01 41:32

Well, six is already looking fucking nuts.

SPEAKER_02 41:34

I haven't because isn't it only out on some system or six hasn't come out yet? It hasn't come out. I thought it came out for like on a PlayStation.

SPEAKER_03 41:42

It came out for that one kid, the Mega Witch kid. Did it? That's pretty sweet. Yeah, they let him. I think it comes out in May. I mean, it wasn't finished, but they let him.

SPEAKER_02 41:51

I bet his online account is savage.

SPEAKER_03 41:55

It was like he they knew that I mean, I don't know if I haven't kept up on him, but it was like they knew like had a diagnosis that he probably wouldn't make it until he got released, and then that was like his wish, and then like the creators of uh GTA 6 like brought it to his hospital room and like set it up and play and he played it.

SPEAKER_01 42:22

That's pretty sweet. Yeah, pretty nice. That's pretty cool. That game's gonna break some records, dude. You gotta think, like GTA 5, when it came out, it made like a billion dollars in three days. And like we were all what 12, 13, 14 years old. Yeah, yeah, somewhere around there. Yeah, that game came out 10 years ago. Like, I feel like my my hot take is people still play it today. Right. That's still like a heat, like arguably one of the biggest games ever. I just feel like that game is gonna make a billion dollars in like a day just from like pre-orders. Yeah. You're gonna see a lot of people calling off of work just to play that game.

SPEAKER_03 43:01

Yeah, it is it is pretty nuts. Just like how big gaming's got.

SPEAKER_01 43:07

Oh yeah. But there's like yeah, no, exactly. Because it's like we talked about earlier, like, yeah, back in the day it was like Pong, Donkey Kong, but now there's games where it's like farming simulator. Yeah. And the whole point of the game is to act like you have a farm. Then there's games like Call of Duty, and then like, yeah, there's like a game. You can find a game for like any scenario.

Endless Games And Microtransactions

SPEAKER_03 43:32

I watched uh I watched a video the other day. It was just I mean, a lot of videos out there t today are just talking about like how shitty it's become. Yeah. But which is kind of negative. I don't really appreciate all those videos just 'cause like stuff evolved. But I did kind of agree with it 'cause it was talking about um it was talking about the change. between um games in like the nineties or like early two thousands to games that they create now. Basically like how it shapes like the players mindset on all these games. And uh it was pretty interesting because it it made total sense. But it said like but it said like games in the 90s and early 2000s were all based on um like an end. Like getting to the final boss beating him you've beat the game and like even you know like I guess you could probably relate it to like a campaign in Call of Duty or something. Like getting to the end of somewhere but now like the basis of all games is just like never ending. Yeah like Battle Royale you play you win you jump in another new game you play you win you jump in a new game like there's no end there's no like final it they're meant they're being made to be played forever.

SPEAKER_01 45:05

Well yeah that's instead of like online portion of it because that's where people like it's like Call of Duty now. Yeah they release a new Call of Duty every year but they're all like crossplay they're all like and I never even did did the newest Call of Duty even have a campaign I don't I don't even know I haven't I haven't played a Call of Duty in a few years. Well actually I played Black Ops 6. I think that came out like two years ago but a lot of it's like Fortnite. Yeah like no I mean that like you pay like you know you get addicted to it and it's like oh you can get this skin and it's all like cash and that's what Call of Duty kind of became and I think that's why Call of Duty is kind of like a dying franchise and why people don't really like it. Because it's like the same thing. It's like yeah you play like against other people online and you play like Warzone or you play multiplayer and it's cool but like if you want a cool skin for your assault rifle or you want to like have a cool looking character you know you gotta pay 20 bucks.

SPEAKER_03 46:04

Yeah yeah which is just crazy because that I mean like like I was saying it's just like how how is it affected because they even talked about that that like um like obviously with online gaming um there's less like personal connection and they were like instead of like your friends coming over sitting on your couch and beating the final boss on a long night where you guys left at like 3 a.m you just play till 3 a.m every single night and you're never with each other. It's all over a headset and a mic and you're never with each other. It's a never ending thing and it never um like gives people playing them like a sense of accomplishment. Yeah I get that because um which is like they were talking about being like detrimental to like your life once you grow up and being like you know that never have had that feeling of like teamwork.

SPEAKER_02 47:08

Like they even talked about that like playing Mario or something and like your friend that's sitting next to you on the couch is like oh no I'm good at this part like let me do this part and then you let him play and then he finishes that part and then you're like well I'm good at this like there's just no like like um talking about Mario probably about seven months ago or whatever me and my brother started playing the Super Mario because like the Switch has it or whatever and we hundred percent of the game but it literally was like we started at like five and we played for like 14 hours. Yeah like we literally my you know my grandma rolled down the stairs and was like what are you guys doing still up and we were just drinking and playing Mario and we 100% of the game and then it was like one of our one of the funnest moments of my life but like cool as fuck. People won't people don't have those like moments anymore. Right.

SPEAKER_01 48:04

I think that's really like I said it's all over a headset and I mean from a business standpoint I kind of get it because it's like why make like a like a story mode game I guess like with a campaign that you're gonna beat in three four days when you can make an online game like Fortnite but even that lasts forever that you're gonna hope they get the cosmetics and spend money on and but even like when we were younger I feel like even though there was still online we didn't do it as much like we'd come over we'd go we go over to people's houses and play Madden against each other you know what I mean and I feel like that the newer generation is losing yeah like dude I was I I was a senior in high school before I even knew that you could play online in Madden like I literally like I literally like I mean it sounds kind of shitty but like I would always just be like hey come over and play Madden I was like I didn't even know that that was you can add someone.

SPEAKER_03 49:04

Yeah like I didn't I didn't even I was just like oh I knew I mean I know you can do that in other games but like not Madden. Yeah like you can't play online with your friends like in like these types of games.

SPEAKER_01 49:16

I played a new game well it's not a new game it's been out for like over a decade but my girlfriend and I we played this game called uh Until Dawn and I don't see I know there is a few games out like it but it was a super cool it's a horror game but it's mostly story based so you don't control like the character whole lot but it's one of those like like oh your character heard a scary noise uh behind a door and then it will like come up with it's like a choose your own adventure book do you check out the noise or do you run away and uh run away yeah and like and it's cool because you'll like choose something and then the game will tell you like oh it's a butterfly effect like this will alter uh how your story ends and so oh that's wild yeah so the ending my girlfriend and I got only I think like two people died one of my favorite characters because her and I we would do like all right you can make the the we'd go back and forth like all right you make this decision but the next decision that comes up I'm gonna decide and so on and so we ordered a pizza had some drinks and we just chilled out and it was fucking it was good. It was a fun time I wish more games were kind of like that. Yeah yeah I just like losing that effect over the years.

SPEAKER_03 50:34

Yeah like beer you just keep buying it and keep drinking it that's the same like it's like it never ends crazy.

SPEAKER_01 50:43

I think

Movie Theaters And Interactive Films

SPEAKER_01 50:44

that's pretty similar with like a lot of things though like even movies and stuff nowadays it's just repeats like Scream 7 you know what I mean yeah it just repeats of the same actually speaking of that game though I saw I forgot what it was called I'll have to do research on it but there was a whole like movie coming out that the director filmed I forgot how I think it was like 18 endings and somehow he was going to have it to where the audience like all votes like throughout the movie yeah and damn I forgot what it was called but I saw it was like in development and I think that would be fucking crazy. That would be crazy. Yeah what if you got like a little like tablet or button pusher and no exactly theater yeah and that'd be super fun because then it would make you want to go to the movies more because then you're like no I'm I want to try to save this girl like or I want to you know yeah that's another thing too is people don't go to the movies anymore. I'm gonna be honest with you neither do I I waited till the newest avatar came out on the D I hate the movies you don't like the movie theater no you were there the last time he went to the movies yeah really yeah that was the last time do you remember like theaters what was the last time the last time he went to the movie theater was Jackass 4.

SPEAKER_03 52:00

That was the last time why I don't like I had to convince him I had to be like why don't you like the movies that it seems like a waste of time so it's because he doesn't because he can't get us to go on some random adventure no that's what it is he likes to take people my argument that might play a part the random adventure he does my argument is and I'm not helping my kids for what I we were just talking about but my argument is is that like why would I go to the movie theater it's gonna be out on HBO next week.

SPEAKER_01 52:37

So that's how it is now I feel like because like up until COVID it was like oh you'd see this movie in the movie theater and then like a year later it's like oh it's on yeah it's on Netflix it's on Hulu it's on like I was upset that the Avatar new Avatar movie took I think it was like four months to get to the thing. I was like I was like why just but that's what I'm saying but I feel like ever since after COVID it's like oh this movie's in the theater but in two weeks it's gonna be on HBL Maps. Yeah. So what's the point?

SPEAKER_03 53:07

Yeah but see that's the other thing too is and this gonna make me sound really old too but um like I just like I couldn't tell you what's playing in a movie theater right now. Like off top my head I don't know what like I don't know either. But that's what I'm saying is like I don't see no ads for it. I don't see like so like mainly most of the time it's just because like I don't even know what's playing in the movie theater. Like there's nothing that I've got excited about like oh this is about to come out like most of the time it's just somebody being like hey do you want to go watch freaking blah blah blah like blah blah blah today and then I'm like I mean I I don't like I haven't even watched an ad or the trailer or any like I don't even know that's gonna be like no I'm not gonna go waste my money like I just haven't like I don't even know because the lack of cable I'm pretty sure that's probably why because nobody really watches cable TV anymore.

SPEAKER_02 54:09

Yeah no no and that's where all of those like movie ads and like yeah remember when you're a kid and you'd watch Nickelodeon or or something and some Disney Disney ad would come up and you'd be like I really want to go to Disney but it's like do kids even want to go to Disney anymore because they don't get the ads for it.

SPEAKER_01 54:29

No I feel like I'm you know I think I feel like I'm like in the perfect middle of you both of like how I feel about the movies because I'm I'm I fucking love the movie. Like I know you do and Eason hates it but I'm like I don't I don't want to spend the money on a movie ticket and like snacks and like a drink there.

SPEAKER_02 54:48

If it's a movie you gotta sneak those things in Alex I mean I sneak Taco Bell in I just want to sneak beer in yeah sneak it in butt chug before I go well that's what dude some movie I I like the movie theater in Monmouth Oregon because they have beer there.

SPEAKER_03 55:09

There's a movie theater in Kelsa that does that but they only show one movie for like a whole month. Yeah and it's usually like an out not outdated movie but like they showed Top Gun Maverick like a year after it came out for a whole month.

SPEAKER_02 55:23

So it's like at that point you're like yeah they stopped getting like because I remember whenever we were younger they'd get like movies like probably a week after or whatever but I feel like they stopped getting like newer movies as fast. Yeah I just I'm on that place is pretty dope because you can get a pizza and you can get yeah that's a movie theater I'd go to and then my grandma would never let us we'd we'd never be allowed to sit on the couches because she'd be like there's bugs in there.

SPEAKER_03 55:52

Dude I just can't I I think I also maybe have a small amount of the uh ADHD I just can't sit for that long in the dark without like bouncing around like if I if I'm gonna watch a movie probably about 50% down and going to get things out of the fridge and or I'm gonna or about 50% of the time I can guarantee you that I'll fall asleep during it. Like it's gotta be that time of night where I just like not give a shit like to sit there and watch this movie for you know two hours or whatever however long the movie is but it's like I gotta be in a spot where it's like I'm like yep I'm ready to chill like I'm ready to chill might fall asleep maybe not but let's throw in a movie like I did I don't know yeah I'm I'm just in the sense of like I I don't I don't want to like gamble if I'm not gonna lie I don't want to like pay for the whole experience for me to like maybe like the movie.

SPEAKER_01 57:05

Why would I like take the risk of spending all the money to like go see it. But like when Jackass 5 comes out like late June like chances are I'm gonna like it. So it's like yeah I'll I'll pay to go see that but other than that I'm not not quite sure about anything else.

Reading, Attention, And Book Guilt

SPEAKER_03 57:24

You know you know what I want to get into but I've said this for like most of my life is reading oh jeez you never wanted to like I feel like I mean I don't feel like it would be a great sensation but like do you ever wish that you could just read and like I used to be really into reading in uh elementary and middle school yeah and then I don't know something just kind of clicked and um I stopped uh reading yeah like dude my uh my girlfriend was keeping a tally on how many books she read this year and it was like the beginning of February or no it was like the end of February about to like start March and then uh I was like oh like she was like yeah I lost track and I was like well when did you lose track and she was like 35 books and I was like holy crap and I was like she was like but I I think it's probably closer to like 46 or 47 like if I had to like think about it. That's wild I haven't read at the end of two months of the year. I haven't read a book since Hatchet in uh middle school yeah dude and then and then um and then I was like holy crap like how long are these books and she was like oh I mean not that long and I was like yeah but like how how long is not long for you and she's like oh there's there are like between 200 and 300 pages.

SPEAKER_01 59:12

See I you see all those Harry Potter books right there I remember I read all those uh I think it was like summer we were in elementary school for sure but I read like all the Harry Potter books and I think that was the last time I did like a crazy like reading something like that.

SPEAKER_03 59:29

Dude and then you know what she followed up with what it was like a Thursday she said that was the freaking eighth book she'd read that week.

SPEAKER_02 59:37

Yeah but those are all lady porn books. Well I mean yeah but that's still like a d you know how long it takes me to read 10 pages?

SPEAKER_03 59:45

Yeah yeah it takes me a minute well because I'll read a page and then I'll forget what's on the page and then I gotta reread the fucking page I hate it exactly dude again back to the ADHD I'm like through freaking seven pages and I'm like huh so I wonder if it's gonna be nice tomorrow. Maybe we go golfing and then I'm like holy shit what happened the freaking last three pages who the fuck is this guy?

SPEAKER_02 1:00:11

Yeah yeah what when did he come in here and then you gotta go back and you're like wait there are aliens in this book I don't what yeah I hate that stuff when you like read a page and you can't even remember anything that happened to it.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:23

I'm dude I'm saying this I think we should cancel lady porn books.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:28

Chuck Juice And School Nostalgia

SPEAKER_03 1:04:24

have been really we've never talked about it on the pod well I would get it you know those big things of Gatorade so I'd grab one of those from the good old Safeway gallon Gatorade the gal yeah the gallon Gatorade and I'd drink about halfway through and then sitting in our history teacher's class we'd throw whatever we could find in there.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:44

So most of the time because he gave out a lot of um what are the gummies fruit snacks fruit snacks so we'd throw a fruit snack C BD gummies the C B D we'd throw some fruit snacks in there and then someone threw chips in there and melt. That was my always that was my favorite part about Chuck Juice because it started with like yeah like people's lunches so it'd be like Gatorade fruit snacks like a corndog like someone's Doritos but then it got to the point where you were putting like someone put paper in there and blades of grass you get blades of grass someone put a worm in there one time I just like that the our science teacher goes Chuck you need to stop drinking that and I said why he goes it's so bad for you you need to stop he told us that if you had another sip he was worried your kidney was gonna fail yeah yeah then he'd just house it every day.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:46

SPEAKER_01 1:05:57
