Ep. 37 One Year In 🎂

One year in, we’re still doing what we do best: taking whatever everyone’s talking about and dragging it into the light until the common sense shows up. We start by looking back at the consistency it takes to keep a podcast alive, shouting out the local spots that support us, and then we get into a story that’s hard to shake a teen killed at a Texas track meet after a confrontation in a tent. It turns into a real conversation about consequences, fear, and how fast a normal day can flip when somebody brings a weapon into it.

From there, it’s the full NegPod mixtape: Spurs and Knicks crowd energy, why some fans act like they own the building, and how silence hits different when a game slips away late. We also hit the big internet swirl of UFO documents, the nonstop rain, the aquifer question, and a surprisingly practical breakdown of how water towers and city pressure actually work. Then we get into modern “solutions” that don’t feel like solutions: self checkout lanes, viral Kool Aid pineapple as an EBT workaround, and why bad systems turn regular people into petty philosophers at the register.

The deeper thread is money and competence. We talk about the old Hank Hill style economy, what jobs used to buy, why everything feels expensive now, and what automation and driverless trucks could do to working life next. We also call out predatory auto loans and the way regulation can create barriers that only bankers and lawyers know how to play around. Add in distracted driving paranoia, location sharing, manners in fast food, and a little Dairy Queen honesty, and you’ve got an hour of the stuff people actually argue about when the mics are off.

If you laughed, got mad, or nodded along, subscribe so you don’t miss the next one, share it with a friend who’ll fight you about it, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

SPEAKER_02 0:01

And we're back.

SPEAKER_01 0:02

SPEAKER_02 0:14

I'm a moron had used my calculator, and then I was doing it wrong. But basically, we're doing a NegPod every 10 days. Is that what it is? That's what it is. I mean 365 days in a year, and we in between your trips to fucking Europe. So yeah, every 10 days, consistently for a year, we put out 36 inside of the year. This is uh just past the anniversary date, number 37.

SPEAKER_01 0:39

So thank you, everyone. Uh, we have a lot of good listeners, a lot of uh sponsors too. Shout out Ziggy's Taxidermy and Ruby's Lounge, Hacienda Road.

SPEAKER_02 0:49

Yeah. Manny over there at Garza's Auto Detail. And River City Bail Bomb.

SPEAKER_01 0:55

Yeah, throwing in the hooscow, give them a call. Um, what was I

Track Meet Stabbing And Accountability

SPEAKER_01 1:00

gonna say? Do you see that thing about that kid? Uh, who was his name? Carmelo Anthony.

SPEAKER_02 1:04

Dude, I kept thinking the basketball player was in trouble, but it's not.

SPEAKER_01 1:08

No, it's some like some black kid from Frisco, I guess.

SPEAKER_02 1:12

Oh, he's from Texas. Yeah, it was in Texas. Is that the one who stabbed the track at the track?

SPEAKER_01 1:17

Yeah, he took a knife to attract meat and stabbed that kid in the right in the fucking heart.

SPEAKER_02 1:21

Like over chicken nuggets or something?

SPEAKER_01 1:23

What happened was that he went, it was raining and he went into their tent. The another team's tent, and they're like, Okay, well you gotta go. And he's like, No, I'm not leaving. Just being a pain in the ass. And then uh this Austin Metcalf guy was he's a big dude. He was like, You gotta go. And like I went to grab him, he's like, Don't touch me. See what happens. And he had his hand like in his bag, and he went to he grabbed him, I guess, and he just fucking stabbed him in the chest and killed him dead in his brother's arms. It's a pretty bad deal.

SPEAKER_02 1:52

That's a bad deal.

SPEAKER_01 1:54

But everyone's like, he didn't he wa he he didn't mean to kill him. So I don't know. I wasn't there, I don't know, I don't know what happened.

SPEAKER_02 2:01

Yeah, we just know the the the rest of the story. But the story is whether this kid was a black kid, a white kid, whatever. You you have a knife and you stab somebody at a track meet, you're going to the hoose scale. Yeah. I don't give a shit.

SPEAKER_01 2:16

If someone die, yeah, then you're going to jail. You're going to jail. For a little uh sometime.

SPEAKER_02 2:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:21

Maybe not your whole life, but how long do they give him 35?

SPEAKER_02 2:25

35. So he could be out by the time he's 40 with time served and good behavior and all that.

SPEAKER_01 2:31

Well, I think he was 17 when he's 18 and 19 now, I think, or 18. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:35

So 40. I think he's 35 if he does. It'll be 50, right? Yeah. If he does half of it.

SPEAKER_01 2:42

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:43

So 17 and 18 would be 45. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:46

I think, but they said like uh he has parole after 17, but like it's a very rare case that they that happens. Um so don't stab people.

SPEAKER_02 2:55

I mean, you kill the kid, but he also screwed his own life up, so it's not I mean, that's really bad deal.

SPEAKER_01 3:01

Yeah. I everyone's like, yeah, it's a race, it was a race thing, but I think he was just like some nerdy black kid who was angry. I I think that would probably be more plausible. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 3:12

You know, I'm now that I have all this experience from my uh one day at the youth track meet in Bernie.

SPEAKER_01 3:18

Yeah, that kind of like dovetails into that.

SPEAKER_02 3:20

Uh there were there's every shape, size, race, and creed there. I didn't see any Hajibs running uh in Del Rio. In Bernie. It was in Bernie. Okay. Uh but there was people from all the way from like Waco and uh outside of Fort Worth, Victoria, Corpus, Del Rio.

SPEAKER_01 3:38

There was any hijabs, no hijabs. I don't think they're doing track right now.

SPEAKER_02 3:42

But there's uh there was a lot of just uh McDonald's. Uh there was there was a I would say it was mostly whites and mostly blacks.

SPEAKER_01 3:52

Yeah. And that's a that's like a white black thing track.

SPEAKER_02 3:56

Track, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 3:56

That you take serious.

SPEAKER_02 3:57

And of course, like the I would say like the the black people that were there were with their whole family and their whole like track team or whatever, and they were like the most well put together. They all like looked like a team, they were all the most in shape of the parents and the children.

SPEAKER_01 4:17

Like 10 pack abs.

SPEAKER_02 4:19

Even the dad does. Everybody was like in in peak physical condition. Yeah, uh, they look like a legacy athletics, and then you had like the white kids, and their parents are like 350 pounds. So I guess like the point I'm trying to make is I don't I didn't see like any hint of like any kind of racy bullshit at the track meet. It was just like track people, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:43

Uh yeah, I think that's what happened. That kid was kind of a nerdy black kid and was angry and just it wasn't he just like stabbed him. I don't know. Yeah, and he might have just been scared. Like maybe, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:54

Don't scared things like attack like when the corner. My grandfather used to always tell me it was like the voyage, he goes, I don't care who you are, but don't put a rat in a corner. That's that's a good advice. It's like don't just don't like good advice here, don't put a rat

Youth Track Culture And The Rat Corner

SPEAKER_02 5:10

in a corner.

SPEAKER_01 5:10

Don't do it. What about a regular? What an actual rat though. I'll I'll corner that motherfucker.

SPEAKER_02 5:16

Uh so I went I went to uh I was at the Spurs game last night when they lost.

SPEAKER_01 5:22

Oh, so you did go. Yeah, my mom was like, did he go? I was like, I don't know. He went to San Antonio. No, mom is Spurs.

SPEAKER_02 5:28

Wait, it was Spurs. They gave it away, bro. They gave it away. Didn't they have a 30-point lead? No, that was the time before, but okay. They've they had a lead every game of the series, I believe, all the way to the fourth quarter and then gave it away.

SPEAKER_01 5:42

I think that's what the Knicks do. They're like, let's just think, make them think they're winning, and then just fucking juice them at the end. Yeah. I mean, Spurs are a second place team. That's all right.

SPEAKER_02 5:52

It's a second place.

SPEAKER_01 5:54

Yeah. And I didn't even watch it watch till the final. Silver medal, baby. I watched a record in um three minutes last night.

SPEAKER_02 6:00

I was blown away last night. I'm going to say the guy at the door. So we asked him when we got there, the not like the ticket guy, but like the guy in a suit that's working the door or whatever. How many, what's the what's the percentage here at Knicks fan? He goes, it's at least 40%.

SPEAKER_01 6:17

Oh, that much.

SPEAKER_02 6:18

I'm gonna tell you it was at least 50%.

SPEAKER_01 6:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 6:21

It was a lot. Like it it blew me away the amount of people that were trucked their happy ass down from New York. Shout out to Timothy Shallam. And where we sat, we were surrounded by them. And it wasn't like guys from Dallas that bought Nick's jersey. It was like, oh, annoying voice. Oh, really? Close New York fucks. And I I hated them. Yeah. Uh, but we were like sitting like we're like close to like one of the tunnel entryways. And uh so there, like the seats stop, and there's like a rail that's kind of pops uh up, and so it kind of tapers down into the seats, like so it's not really a walkway. And this one guy, like three rows in front of us, he uses the rail that's not a walkway as the walkway to like go to the concession stand. And all of a sudden, all these New York people are like using that instead of going through the like saying, excuse me, and going to where the stairs are. They're just coming up and down this thoroughfare, and so fun as I told one of them, go, Hey, you fucking subway rat. This isn't a goddamn way to go. And then they all started laughing. Are they good? Yeah, it was funny because I called they all kind of knew each other, I guess, because they're basketball people, and they I think they all had like season tickets up there, and they traveled down here, and so they kind of were familiar with each other, but yeah, the one that I motherfucking called the subway rat, they all thought that was really funny. That's funny.

SPEAKER_01 7:52

At least they could take a joke, they could take a joke, but they're being very like uh just ridiculous and stupid, or what?

SPEAKER_02 8:00

They're just like they're just Yankees.

SPEAKER_01 8:02

I hate those Yankees, they're just Yankees, the name Yankees, yeah. People say uh some people say Texas in the South. I don't think it is. It's Texas, it's Texas, it's it's something different.

SPEAKER_02 8:13

Uh but you could have heard a mouse piss on a cotton swab when that game was over. It was crazy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:20

And we have like the biggest fucking guy ever as uh why do we know what he is?

SPEAKER_02 8:24

He's a fucking alien.

SPEAKER_01 8:25

Yeah, he's alien. Put Wimby by the basket, they'll throw you the ball, you just put it in. Put it in. No, he's out there shooting threes or fucking do whatever.

SPEAKER_02 8:34

Dude, in the fourth quarter, the Spurs have like a and we're gonna be done talking about sports because I don't really give a rat's ass, but they have like a nine, ten, twelve-point lead, and they just keep trying to shoot threes. It was like going to youth basketball out here, and and like all the kids are trying to throw them up because they watched a movie, like, hey, Looney Tunes, get cut this shit out.

SPEAKER_01 8:53

Like you're the middle skill, middle school basketball team, and you just saw Airbutt or something.

SPEAKER_02 8:58

Yeah, just it was like no how about a layup, bro? It's still a fucking layup.

SPEAKER_01 9:02

I don't know. It's stupid. It was retarded. So I'm glad that's over. Shout out, Los Spurs. I'm sorry that happened. Second place, though, we did it. It's pretty good.

SPEAKER_02 9:11

Oh, my son came in my office and told me a joke the other day. What's that? He said, Dad, did you uh hear about the giant pride parade they're having? And I said, What are you talking about? He goes, It's called the World Cup.

SPEAKER_01 9:25

Oh, dude. That's funny. Uh they're pushing the soccer thing way too fucking hard.

SPEAKER_02 9:31

Way too hard.

SPEAKER_01 9:33

Like I opened Facebook the other day and it was just like a soccer ball. I'm like, okay, no one cares about soccer. Did you see? What are they gonna get there through their through their fucking heads?

SPEAKER_02 9:42

They got all this soccer deal going on and the basketball, and then this morning I opened the Twitter and they're like the FBI released three million pages of UFO documents. Oh, I've been hearing something of that. I don't care about the fucking there's four kinds of aliens: the Grays, Wimby's like the Nordics, the insectoids, and the reptilians. Oh, so that's real.

SPEAKER_01 10:08

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 10:09

It's not on Twitter, but it was like source. Jesse Wallet or Jesse Waters was reading it.

SPEAKER_01 10:15

Jesse Waters is

Spurs Loss And Knicks Fans

SPEAKER_01 10:16

a weird. He reminds me of kind of does. He does. He's like very serious. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 10:20

Oh, that's funny.

SPEAKER_01 10:21

Uh, it's been raining a lot. Have you noticed that? It's been raining. Dude, dude, do you have to cut the grass at your house? No, uh, daddy does that. Damn it. Good old daddy. Yeah, there's uh it's been raining. It's good though, I guess. Um but are is there aquifer up again? I don't know. Who how do you measure the aquifer? I guess is there as a stick or something? I can't. I think it's all you could just make things um it's gotta be bullshit.

SPEAKER_02 10:46

And if it was like about to be dry, would they tell us no?

SPEAKER_01 10:49

No, no. I turn my faucet on, there's nothing like, uh, what the fuck? I didn't know about this. Oh man. How do they get the water from the aquifer to our tap?

SPEAKER_02 10:59

They gotta pump it. That's what they're water towers. So they got a real small pump that's can run all the time and fill up the water tower. Uh and once the water tower is full, then it gravity, there's enough gravity pressure in a water tower to load all the lines in town and keep them pressurized.

SPEAKER_01 11:21

No way. That's cool, isn't it? White people used to think of all the smart shit. That's it. It might have been the Romans.

SPEAKER_02 11:28

Now they just go to basketball games and track meets, get stabbed, idiots.

SPEAKER_01 11:32

Climb around fucking other people.

SPEAKER_02 11:36

Scurry like rats.

SPEAKER_01 11:37

Did you see that pineapple in the Kool-Aid trend?

SPEAKER_02 11:39

I can't how could you not have seen that? Every time I turn around, there's some fucker eating. I don't even want to try it. Kool-Aid pineapple. Have you seen it though? You you it's true, right? And the pineapple, why why does anyone want to eat like a pineapple that's a spear, like a speared pineapple, like a pickle?

SPEAKER_01 11:59

Do you buy those? I want a ring.

SPEAKER_02 12:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:01

I want a pineapple ring. Like in a nice ham. The rings, yeah. Yeah. I never seen a spear. Do they cut those that way?

SPEAKER_02 12:08

So the way I understand this is the reason this Kool-Aid pineapple thing exists is because you can't buy candy with EBT anymore, like sweets. Yeah, you can't. So you but you can buy a pineapple and then Kool-Aid packet costs like 30 cents, so you could get that or in the azukar sugar. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:26

Ugh. That sounds terrible. I would just buy a candy bar. Right. Why go through all that work? Oh, because you can't. Yeah. Oh, I see. That's why it's happening. That's why it's gone viral. Oh, see, all my questions are questions are being answered. Shut up, Baxter. He thinks uh he thinks I'm like I'm making him seem like some racist. Like virulent racist. Baxter's not racist. Baxter, you're not racist. Okay. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_02 12:50

Well, he is the president of the Proud Boy chapter here in Is he? Yeah. Proud boy. Maybe he's a Pride Boy. Did he go to I think he's a Pride Boy? Was he at January 6th? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:04

That's funny.

SPEAKER_02 13:04

Him and he was wearing a goat head. You everybody only saw the Buffalo head guy, but Baxter was there. He had a big old ram head on.

SPEAKER_01 13:14

Shannon Baxter. I think I texted him the other day and I was like, when are y'all gonna do a show? He's like, I'm thinking about doing one again. I'm like, yeah, right.

SPEAKER_02 13:23

This can't be like using it awesome. Just consistent, just putting it out.

SPEAKER_01 13:28

Dude, you just gotta do it. You have to be consistent. That's what I'm like. You just gotta do a little bit every day. That's it. Or make time to do it.

SPEAKER_02 13:36

Yeah. Shout out uh my old buddy out there in Midland Kent. He's recovering. He had uh a little knee surgery. Oh, I thought it was from the shooting. No, dude, that got zero coverage. The only way I knew that was because I saw it on someone on Instagram. He's like, We're shutting our store down. Prayers with Wall Street. And I was like, what is this? And then at dinner last night, someone's like, that shooting in Midland. I was like, I don't know anything about it other than apparently they had one.

SPEAKER_01 14:00

Yeah, I saw it on the Fox News YouTube thing. I was like, oh shit, Big Steve's back. It was AK40. Did he tell you about that time he was in the he said he was like, I was at a motorcycle club and we were at some bar and I took out my KD4-7 and started shooting around. I'm like, no, you fucking didn't, you liar. And but then I'm like talking to him, like, maybe you did do that. Maybe he did. Shut up, Big Steve. Oh. They're uh I don't know. What were we talking about? I don't know. Oh, the Kool-Aid trend? No, something else might. You ever think about getting rear-ended?

SPEAKER_02 14:36

I have a fear of getting rear-ended by a gravel truck, like somebody like uploading a TikTok and then smashing into me in a 40-year-old Peter belt with no brakes.

SPEAKER_01 14:46

That's that's exactly what I was talking about.

SPEAKER_02 14:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:49

Just getting what would happen to you?

SPEAKER_02 14:51

I'm the you will be crushed like an aluminum can, especially if you're in a shitty modern vehicle. I might survive if I'm in one of my old Dodges, but it would be very, very bad. Uh but if you're in like a new F-150, you're just dead. Oh, yeah. You're in my truck, you're fucking gone.

SPEAKER_01 15:07

Dead. I know one of my cousin's old uh ex-husbands, he was driving a gravel truck and something happened where he'd stopped, or maybe he hit something, and the gravel went over and onto him, and he, of course, he died.

SPEAKER_02 15:18

Yeah. Uh every time there's a break check or something like that, or I'm on Highway 90 and the Border Patrol deals backed up. I really worry about that the stupid fucking Border Patrol deal when they let the line go all the way back out into the straightaway. I'm like, one of these morons coming back from the mines out here is gonna be on his phone. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:42

Everyone's constantly on their phone. In their car, they're like on the FaceTime, like face uh timing their D.

SPEAKER_02 15:49

From here to from Uvaldi to San Antonio is nothing but dumbasses in the left lane on their phone going 60.

SPEAKER_03 15:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:58

I've noticed that too. I I hate it. Yeah. I hate it. But what can you do about it, Waymo? What I really want to do is get one of my pickups with the iron bumper on it and just start just break checking people.

SPEAKER_01 16:11

I've brake checked someone the other night. In your truck? No, my pickup. In your pickup. I was on the way to San Antonio, I got and I was on my phone, and there was a truck, a bobtail behind me, and he flashes lights at me. And he was trying to get past, so I brake checked the shit out of him, and then and then he slammed, and then he was trying to chase me, and I brake checked him again all the way to 35. I know, but he was being a cocksucker. He shouldn't have flashed his lights at me.

unknown 16:36

Oh man.

SPEAKER_02 16:39

I love it too because the shoes on the other foot for you most of the time, like you're driving a truck, and like how annoying that is.

SPEAKER_01 16:45

Although my truck, if if it senses, it has a camera, if it it'll it won't go, it won't go full speed, like it'll slow down and go faster by itself.

SPEAKER_02 16:53

Adapt it has adaptive speed.

SPEAKER_01 16:56

But it it does, it is pretty safe.

SPEAKER_02 16:58

It's pretty safe.

SPEAKER_01 16:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:59

Yeah, we have quite a few of the pickups

UFO Docs Rain And Water Towers

SPEAKER_02 17:02

in the fleet are like that.

SPEAKER_01 17:03

Oh, really? Yeah. Pickups? Yeah. Really? My white truck, it has a little like pre-collision warning with it. Yeah. Um, what else? Okay, what about this? Hank Hill had a family, a house with a two-car garage, two cars, lived in a Dallas suburb, and was a propane salesman. Okay. What about this? The jobs that people used to have were bullshit. And now we're paying the price. Like, you know, everyone's like, oh, everything's so expensive, everything's oh, house are expensive, blah, blah, blah. It's because all these cocksuckers in the back in the day didn't do anything. Like, like uh like from the 60s till today. They had like these bullshit jobs. What about that? Uh I don't know. You don't know. You don't have an opinion?

SPEAKER_02 17:56

I mean, people used to be able to comfortably. I I read a deal the other day that was bizarre. Like a guy was like, I worked at a Sears store for 20 years.

SPEAKER_01 18:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 18:09

He is like, and I had like a comfortable life. I had a house, that's what I'm talking about. Two cars, like I raised my family, I had a week vacation, I was able to save money. There was multiple other people that worked retail for Sears and had longevity in a career. And nowadays, like that is impossible.

SPEAKER_01 18:29

Like what I'm saying, like that shouldn't have even existed. I mean, this is my opinion. I don't know if that's true or not.

SPEAKER_02 18:36

Yeah, I don't, I don't, but how are people supposed to make a living now? Uh working, driving a truck. Bro, the I think that you're ignored you're oblivious. Like you're an ostrich person. I don't know anything. Every time I open my social media, there is another video of a driverless truck. Like, no, all these companies are kind of being like, they're not saying it, but they're screaming it if you just listen really.

SPEAKER_01 19:05

I've I've seen the driverless trucks ten years ago, and they they have them running in California or out there like in the West. They have they've had those for a decade at least. They're not coming.

SPEAKER_02 19:17

They are.

SPEAKER_01 19:19

You think? Yeah. But how are they gonna adapt to the range?

SPEAKER_02 19:22

Like flatbed and stuff like that is gonna be different. You're gonna have to have Yeah, you have to have someone uh driver. But the unions right now are trying their damnedest to mandate that the trucks are automated and but they have to have a human in them for safety. And I can't imagine a more worthless human than like if the truck's doing everything, there's just some guy in there just smoking meth and making like running an air fryer. Pineapple spears. Yeah, eating pineapple spears soaked in Kool-Aid.

SPEAKER_01 19:54

Or like maybe a tire bludge are like, okay, stop, stop, truck. You're you're oh my god, that's so loud. Yeah, your uh your tire blew out and then pull over and then change the tire and then go back. Maybe you're right. Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 20:10

But that would like so are we about to so the point you're making is like the Hank Hills, the old school like jobs, like people weren't really doing anything. They were just showing up and being there. Yes. What if we're about to have that? What if that's the next cycle with this AI? Like every AI's gonna be doing everything, but they're just gonna have like a person there like on their phone to be like, uh, sorry, well, the AI is acting up right now. Um, we'll check you out, but it takes like 10 minutes or something.

SPEAKER_01 20:39

It's like all these self-checkouts like a dollar general, they're all shut down because they can't trust the people, the people just fucking take. I I someone is like, why don't these self-checkouts working? They're like, Oh, because people were actually helping themselves.

SPEAKER_02 20:51

I'm really interested. Is that is it stealing if you like I I kind of feel like I'm against stealing? Yeah, I don't want to be a thief, I don't want to steal. No, but like if I'm using the self-checkout, I'm like, you know what, I ought to get me a free bag of ice for doing this. It's like they ought to give me something.

SPEAKER_01 21:12

You ought to get you ought to be compensated at least for maybe a couple dollars, you know. Yeah, bring your prices down a little bit.

SPEAKER_02 21:18

So I'm not like swiping it, I'm not like the people you see on TV, like where like where they're swiping a television or like something expensive, but I'm like, like, you know, maybe maybe I'll just give me a bag of ice on.

SPEAKER_01 21:30

I haven't done the case.

SPEAKER_02 21:31

If I go to a store, I what I'm what I think is worse than stealing something is if I go to a store and I get whatever I'm gonna buy, whether it's a whole shopping cart or three items or whatever, and I'll get to the counter to pay for it at your store, and you have one incompetent person working the cash register, somebody else I can see at least another person or two in there that's not doing shit, and like everyone's waiting in line. I'll Just drop this stuff, like not on the floor, but I'll just like they're like, Oh you're so petty. Here, this is here now, and I leave. I was like, I'm you think I'm gonna stand in line to give you my fucking money and you're gonna treat my time like it's has no value at all.

SPEAKER_01 22:14

It's like we're done trading, so plus you're like just charging the fuck out of us, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:19

Yeah, so like I like stay.

SPEAKER_01 22:20

I stand in line. I I've stood in line for probably like 45 minutes before just smiling because I'm like, this is kind of funny that I'm doing this.

SPEAKER_02 22:28

I've done that too.

SPEAKER_01 22:30

I've done that too. Well, I don't think I've ever left you said you uh you were at Whataburger the other day and you left. I walked out because it took too long, dude. Sometimes they take forever.

But I've been in recently twice, once at 7 p.m. on a Thursday and once at 12. No, this was 1.15 uh Friday and I was starving. Like I'd worked through lunch, it was like 1.15. I didn't eat any breakfast, and like all of a sudden I was hangry, so I knew I was pissed off.

And the ones that aren't full are dirty. And I looked around and I did a quick assessment. That's when I would and 40% of the people in there were eating, and 60% of them had no food. Oh, and then I looked at the line, and there's five people in line, and I saw this fucker like coming out of the freezer in the back, bringing French fries. Like they had run out of they they were out of fries, they didn't even have any in the fryer. Like what whoever is was running the show has no clue. Like they basically they're having a problem that day. I you gave them the benefit of the doubt. Everyone has a bad shift. We have a bad shift, we have a bad day. Oh, yeah. But like I saw this, and then on top of it, there was like three kids in there like squailing. I'm sure they're hungry. Oh, yeah. And I just said, Not today. So where'd you get today? Where'd you go? When I when I pulled out of there, I was I felt my blood boiling. I was like, shit, I'm getting pissed off.

I gotta eat something. I said, Where where in this town could I be chewing food the fastest? Crave. Where can I I thought about crave? I might go there after this. I said, Where can I be chewing food the fastest? And you know what I did? I pulled my ass right into Golden Chick. Oh, dude. I ordered, I paid, and I turned around with my tea glass, and I didn't even have tea in it. I was still putting ice and they go, your order's ready. Yeah, they had it sitting there waiting for me. Because it's all under the fucking heat lamp. Ready to go. I didn't want chicken. I didn't even like it. I wasn't even like Why don't you go to Billy Bob's? Dude, so Billy Bob's is they'll sneak fuck you at Billy Bob's.

SPEAKER_01 25:23

I think I've been in there. I've I've only gone and eaten there once, and they did take a while to get it done. Yeah. Bill, shut up, Billy Bob. Let's cross the street. They're your neighbor. But everything's expensive.

SPEAKER_02 25:35

Chicken was expensive. How much was it? $15 for one person to get chicken.

SPEAKER_01 25:39

I think I spent $20 at Water Brog Guster. I was like, fuck, it's kind of expensive. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know, Holmes. So yeah, and then I went to get my oil change. I usually go to Walmart, but I'm like, I don't trust them. I don't think they're gonna do a good job. At Walmart? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 25:58

I've never done any auto servicing at Walmart, but they have slowly put everyone out of business here.

SPEAKER_01 26:05

Getting Rear Ended Road Rage Fears

SPEAKER_02 28:35

Android phones, and basically it was a guy who is a real estate, he's in real estate. He has rental properties and he's also a realtor. But his filter for business is if you don't have an iPhone, he doesn't respond to you. That's pretty smart. He's like, if you if you don't have like he's like, I'm sure I'm missing a couple of good people. He goes, but let me tell you what I'm also dodging a fuckload of problems. Oh, dude. Does he I agree?

SPEAKER_01 30:21

That oil just coats your lungs, and you're like, it's like coating a fucking underneath your car, it just lasts forever. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:26

I feel like smoking's probably a good thing to do if you do it for like 10 years just to get your body like used to those poisons and then quit. And then your body's like, ah, if I go to Shanghai, I can breathe the air and it's not gonna bother me. It's like you know, it's like exercising.

SPEAKER_01 30:42

Yeah. Is it I heard there's some guy on uh YouTube the other he's talking about?

It's just like a gas, like that whole I mean it burned your eyes to be there. Really? Isn't that a terrible idea? I wonder why. Because they're like burning all this shit, and I don't know.

Canes. So we went to Kane's game. We walk inside, and there's a girl. Hi, welcome to Canes. Like everyone. She welcomed everyone nice, and she was training someone, and I could tell, like, she was taking pride in training this person. Yes, they love her. And then she was like, Okay, now you do the order, and she was correcting them in a positive way. It was just like, damn, this is this is good.

SPEAKER_01 32:23

That's part of I this is how I feel about life. You only ever people think about money in in whatever. I think about like all that stuff is you just gotta get the basics right. Oh, you gotta get the basics right. Everything else is all like attitude. Attitude is like 90% of it. I think with attitude and manners, you can get your bills paid, and you'll be happier as a person.

SPEAKER_02 32:43

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Um, but yesterday in in Canes, they give you one sauce. Whether you get a three-piece tender or a four-piece tender meal, you get one sauce. And that's not that's not enough sauce. No, and I'm telling you, I was out, like I used the last of my sauce on Tinder 3. And I really wasn't even that hungry. And I had that fourth one there, and I just took a bite of it, and I said, This goddamn sauce is carrying this place. Yeah, it is. This is mid.

SPEAKER_01 33:48

I knew someone like this back in the day.

SPEAKER_02 33:50

Everybody knew someone like this. Not too long ago on Uvaldi Trader, there was somebody who had like four huge crates of old Playboys for sale and they wanted like 500 bucks for them.

SPEAKER_01 34:01

Like that motherfucker on fire. No one wants them.

SPEAKER_02 34:04

I was like, I I would like to have a crate of old, I don't want somebody's like rummage, gnarly ones. Oh. But like if you if somebody had like a crate of ones in the plastic, oh yeah, I would pay 500 bucks for that because I think it would be like Playboy is something that should be here nowadays because there's so much smut and filth everywhere.

SPEAKER_01 34:30

It's depravity on steroids.

SPEAKER_02 34:32

And really, like if you it is depravity on steroids. And now

Hank Hill Economics And Driverless Trucks

SPEAKER_02 34:36

if you were to take a 1994 issue of Playboy and open that, like this sounds ridiculous, but it's like looking at like a Greek statue. Yeah, she's pretty, and like this is tastefully done, and this article has like some some depth and some structure, and it's he'd he this guy had been like he'd been places, he could tell you the what it's like. Yeah, like if the world needs anything to be a better place, like give us more Playboy and less of everything else.

SPEAKER_01 35:08

Like it goes back to me. The fucking but you have to have the basics, the basics. Let's go back, let's be simple.

SPEAKER_02 35:14

Playboy was the smut with manners. Hello, sir. How are you doing? Would you like to see a beautiful naked woman presented tasteless? Like they'd always say you could be a playmate, and then guess what? You could get a job like for the local news. Like maybe not in Houston, but like, welcome to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Uh, this is our uh chief anchor, Miss November 1984. It was like a 50-year-old beautiful woman who got naked in a magazine when she was 25. That's bringing that that was America. It was. And now it's just like like you said worse. Depravity on steroids. Depravity on steroids. I don't know. Uh oh. Oh, weird.

It was like he was like construction guy, and you were in New York, and it was like a Mexican mob, and they were beating up one of his workers, and he like kicks their ass, and they're like, they just leave, and that's like the end of that.

I don't know who that is. Shout out our transgender listeners. So you were in Presidio this week? Yeah, dude, it was hot as fuck. It was like 109. Bro, that's hot. It was a hot place. I didn't realize until I got there. The guy at the store was like, it's pretty hot, huh? And I'm like, yeah. He's like, uh, when we die and we go to hell from here, we say, can we get a blanket?

SPEAKER_02 38:33

That was pretty funny. Dude, this week was legit the first week of summer. Like, there is I left here one day and I was like, holy shit, it's a hot bastard. And I was thinking about how hot it was, and then I saw the guys were thankfully we got a great job. We're getting to redo the uh we're putting in the new parking lot over at Uvalde Chevrolet. Oh, nice. And the guys were over there in the middle of it with the hot asphalt, and I was like, man, it ain't that hot. Those guys making it happen out there.

SPEAKER_01 39:03

Just like when you said weld out there in the pipeline for or in the on the locations over there in Matador. Yeah, that was hot. We had I had that we had that giant water. I would dip my welding shirt in the water and then put it on, like soaking wet, and that would be dry in like 30 minutes.

SPEAKER_02 39:17

That dry heat in midland, something else.

SPEAKER_01 39:19

Like you can dry you that fucking dust blowing dust and fucking wind. Yeah. Would you say it was used to get cold out there too because of the wind? Did you say somebody from Canada was like, it's cold in Canada, but the wind out here is what bites you. The wind's what gets you. Dude, that's what you wind.

SPEAKER_02 39:37

The coldest I've ever been is outside of Corpus. It was on a day that's like 38 or 40 degrees, but that cold ass wind's blowing like 50, and you just can't get warm.

SPEAKER_01 39:48

Is it because of the ocean? Yeah, that all damp, damp wind, bud. What's up with corpus? I heard they're all fucked up right now. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 39:58

Can't get any water. But like you live right on the like that's literally the definition of torture. Like you live on the ocean and you die of thirst.

SPEAKER_01 40:08

Yeah. It's like what do they say? Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink.

SPEAKER_02 40:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 40:14

Although I saw these straws that you can buy now, they you just you can put in a puddle and sip it and the water's clean.

SPEAKER_02 40:20

I saw that too. You did?

SPEAKER_01 40:21

Did you buy one here?

SPEAKER_02 40:22

No, did you?

SPEAKER_01 40:23

SPEAKER_02 40:25

We're all gonna feel all stupid.

SPEAKER_01 40:27

Are we?

unknown 40:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 40:29

Apparently, like one of those straws lasts like a whole like it'll last forever.

SPEAKER_01 40:33

Oh, I saw a different one that only lasts for some whatever a year or something. Yeah. I wonder if you can stick it in the ocean and drink it. I doubt it. Really? Well, then it's not worth a fuck. This guy was drinking coffee. He's like, it tastes like water. I'm like, okay, well, can I stick it in the ocean? If not, then I don't want it.

SPEAKER_02 40:52

What if we just got one of those for everyone in Corpus? Like, I don't know, man. That would be hilarious.

SPEAKER_01 40:58

I wonder if you could drink your piss up with that. I don't know, maybe.

SPEAKER_02 41:02

Oh, yeah. I saw that movie Willow. Man Mortigan was drinking his piss.

SPEAKER_01 41:06

I've never seen that. Is that with uh what's his name? That little munchkin? Warwick Davis. Warwick Davis.

SPEAKER_02 41:12

Shout out, Willow. Shout out, Willow. Uh Warwick Davis also played the leprechaun.

SPEAKER_01 41:18

He did he did a great job.

SPEAKER_02 41:19

He did a great job.

SPEAKER_01 41:20

I mean, this little little people, they're so tiny. I hate to say it, but they're

Self Checkout Ethics And Time Respect

SPEAKER_01 41:25

fucking cute. They are. They're cute. I love them. Oh, and I feel like last week we talked about that guy who died in the accident. And I was being kind of flippant about it. But I want to say, like, I do feel bad about that. People who die on the job, and there's he's like trying to, he was changing jobs or whatever, and getting into a career, and he just had an accident and died. That's sad.

SPEAKER_02 41:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 41:49

He was a grand he was a grandfather though at 45. There's a lot of those around here. That's Evaldi. That's it.

SPEAKER_02 41:56

Yeah. I mean, I think that's like common. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 42:00

But how old how old did you like if you have a kid at 45, like 18?

SPEAKER_02 42:05

If you have a kid at 20 and your kid has a kid at 20, you could be a grandfather at 40, no problem. Yeah, I'm not knocking it. Yeah, yeah. I mean, but the math mass down here.

SPEAKER_01 42:15

That mass. That's good. Yeah. But I it's like my grand was my mom. I guess she almost was. Oh yeah, I hate soccer. Soccer sucks. What?

SPEAKER_02 42:28

Uh so um I got real mad the other day because I'm I gotta get another every time I turn around, I gotta get another license. So I gotta get a license from the Office of Consumer Credit so that I can help facilitate financing for vehicles. Oh yeah. Are you gonna do that? Whether I do it myself, whether I or whether I work with a credit facility and outsource it, I have to be licensed. And it's just a bunch of mumbo jumbo to pay another fee and give all this information to this entities and bullshit. And you all and so what we've done is we've created all these structures to protect poor people from being exploited. Right. I agree with that. You agree with that. I don't agree with it anymore. No, because what we've kept doing is we've kept making the barrier, like we've kept making it harder and harder and harder for competent people to provide a service that the only people that can manipulate or manage the system are fucking lawyers and bankers. These lawyers ruined the country and um Hebrews. And you went there. Yeah. No, I'm but I'm I'm just saying like he's yeah, you're halfway through. I'm I'm I'm I fucking figured it out. Like I'm I'm I'm getting it done, but there's a lot of people that like it's almost then you you go through this course and no one else can do it. So it's like it makes the pool smaller so everyone gets fucked more. They're just like following the rules, but they're bending them to the extreme.

SPEAKER_01 44:08

When they say like helping poor people, like I don't really know that many poor people that I don't really know that many poor people. Like what's poor? So um like people who are like disabled, like I want to help them.

SPEAKER_02 44:20

I guess what I'm saying poor is the wrong word. Financially illiterate. Oh. So like me. Uh predat like and these agencies, like all of these safeguards are put in to like try to curb predatory lending. Yeah. But they don't. And the great examples the other day I send you those guys I joke about in Houston that have that dealership that they're always like selling, like, well, we finance anybody. The other day they have a guy on there that shows up, he puts $15,000 down on a truck. Yeah, a 20 a 2023 Ram TRX. It's probably an $80,000.

SPEAKER_01 44:58

She didn't even fucking want that. That's ridiculous.
