What up, everybody? Welcome back to the newest.
SPEAKER_02:Outside the shop. Oh, newest episode.
SPEAKER_00:Of outside the shop. It's still the same. It's still the same podcast.
SPEAKER_02:Just at it together.
SPEAKER_00:It's still the same podcast. So we haven't been here for a few weeks.
SPEAKER_02:I hope you guys had a good week because we had a good last few weeks being awake.
SPEAKER_00:We did. And while we're starting, let's just go ahead. I think we're going to switch to every two weeks on solos. If we have a guest, we'll try to alternate it every week in that case. It's just easier. We don't run out of things to talk about so fast. And uh it goes a lot smoother.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, we'll have more to talk about in two weeks rather than just once a week. But maybe we will go back to once a week. We'll see. We'll just play it by ear. You guys are going along with us.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it'll be no longer than two weeks.
SPEAKER_02:Don't do that to them.
SPEAKER_00:That was fake.
SPEAKER_02:The last few cops were fake.
SPEAKER_00:It'll be no longer than two weeks. We would like every week, but it just makes more sense for every two unless we have a guess.
SPEAKER_02:It just How do you want to start?
SPEAKER_00:With our win of the week.
SPEAKER_02:Go ahead. What is your win for the week, Timothy Blake?
SPEAKER_00:Had a flat tire, had a screw in it, got it fixed, and got all the tires balanced for free.
SPEAKER_02:I thought it was a nail.
SPEAKER_00:It's a screw.
SPEAKER_02:Oh.
unknown:Yep.
SPEAKER_02:I was the last one to drive it, so.
SPEAKER_00:Uh it's okay. Justin said, blame it on Terry.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, Terry. I know.
SPEAKER_00:Didn't have a nail in it.
SPEAKER_02:Terry, throw it in reverse and run over the screw.
SPEAKER_00:Yikes. It's fixed now. And all the tires are aired up and balanced properly. So it's good to go. All the tires. They tried to sell me four new tires while telling me the front two tires were six of eight and the back two tires were five of eight. He's like, I would recommend buying all four new tires today.
SPEAKER_02:I was like, I don't know what those numbers mean.
SPEAKER_00:Eight is the best. I was like, I'm based off what's going on. They go through a scale of eight.
SPEAKER_02:I think it's like they just want to upsell you.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I was like, six of eight's pretty good.
SPEAKER_02:I would say so.
SPEAKER_00:Well, those two will survive a while. The back two I'd recommend changing. I was like, they're five of eight, and on your scale, that's still green.
SPEAKER_02:Hey, we're in the green.
SPEAKER_00:I don't understand why you're trying to sell me four new tires when you're telling me they're all still good to go.
SPEAKER_02:Money, honey.
SPEAKER_00:They're not even in the middle. Just fix the freaking screw in it, dude.
SPEAKER_02:If they wanted to sell it to you, they should have told you it was like on the two.
SPEAKER_00:That's what I'm saying. Two out of eight. Well, they they scan.
SPEAKER_02:I'm glad they don't lie.
SPEAKER_00:They can't lie. They scan them with this little scanner and then print it off and then read it off the print off. So they don't even know until it's printed off after it's scanned.
SPEAKER_02:Hmm.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, good freaking luck selling me on tires that are good. That don't make no dang sense. I was like, yeah, no, I'm good, man.
SPEAKER_02:I just know I'd be riding my tires till they are bald. I almost ended up in a uh crashing on a bridge when it was snowing.
SPEAKER_00:Oh yeah, them things were bad. That's on me. I should pay attention, but I should too.
SPEAKER_02:I'm a grown adult. Use my car.
SPEAKER_00:It's fine.
SPEAKER_02:I whenever someone suggested it could be my tires, I said, no, I just got new tires. I guess that was like two years ago when I said that.
SPEAKER_00:But then we got new tires, so it was good.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Road great after that.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:What's your win of the week?
SPEAKER_02:Um, mine's kind of long.
SPEAKER_00:We got time.
SPEAKER_02:All right. It was a long week at work. I don't know if it's coming back from vacation. That's enough. Come and yank your mic away. It was just a long week, and then it's been just stressful. And today it was like cherry on top, you know, deep discussions with constructive criticism, but also like heated. Anyways, after they're like two hours of that a meeting, I was like, I need to take a second. So I usually go up to my office, but like that's usually where I am when I'm not on the floor. And so I asked myself, I was like, what would I tell my other nurses to do when they need to take a second? I would tell them to literally go outside and take a break. So I went outside the back door. It was pouring rain today, all day. So I was under the covered area, and I was looking at the trees by our parking lot, and I was like, the trees changed color. Like, that's beautiful. And then I thought to myself, how long have they been like that? And I just haven't noticed. Like I spend most of my time at work, but I just never took the time to notice that or go outside and take a breather. And so I just admired for that that for a second, took a mental picture, and felt rejuvenated while outside. I was able to return a call to a family member, had a good productive conversation, and it was probably a 15-minute break. I went back inside, I felt happy, rejuvenated, a smile, ready to take on, whatever the day had to bring me. So my win for the week is recognizing what I needed in that moment and actually doing it for my mental health.
SPEAKER_00:Well, your win of the week makes me want a cigarette.
SPEAKER_02:Honestly, the people at work who do probably notice the trees changing color before I did, though. Actually, should I take that up so I can go outside?
SPEAKER_00:I'd like to text Katie randomly. Like it'll be months at a time. And I'm just like, I need a cigarette. Out of nowhere. Like, okay. I'll text it to my mom sometimes. She's like, shut the hell up. I'm like, oh wow, okay. Way to be supportive, mom.
SPEAKER_02:Also, anytime she's sick, Tim cannot be serious and be like, oh my gosh, like, I hope you feel better. What's wrong? He said, he's always like, Well, did you take a shot of whiskey?
SPEAKER_00:And she doesn't. So she keeps that doesn't work. It's like you haven't tried it. Try it. I bet it works. Don't knock it till you try it. That's all I'm saying.
SPEAKER_02:You know what? Why not? You don't know what the solution is till you try multiple things.
SPEAKER_00:I'm never serious when my mom is sick. Like that time she had kidney stones.
SPEAKER_02:You're not serious almost anytime. I'm actually, I was sorry, I'm gonna cut you off because I was thinking about this.
SPEAKER_00:Fine, I'm not serious enough to get mad.
SPEAKER_02:Because I saw a TikTok um and it was a labor and delivery nurse, and she was talking about like kicking a spouse out of a room. And I was like, I wonder if they're gonna want to kick Tim out of the room whenever we decide to have children, because he's gonna be the most unserious person, and I'm gonna be in so much pain, and he's gonna be over there cracking jokes. Like, I'm probably gonna kick him out. No, I'm not gonna do that.
SPEAKER_00:I'll be more serious in that moment. I'm gonna crack jokes. That's just who I am. Like, wow, it looks way different than what I'm used to.
SPEAKER_02:I love you and your humor.
SPEAKER_00:That was funny, by the way. I said, I'm gonna uh I'm gonna make a joke. Like, that looks way different than what I'm used to.
SPEAKER_02:Crickets. That's good stuff. They don't like those jokes. We don't like it. Unless you're screaming in pain, you don't get an opinion.
SPEAKER_00:All my friends that listen are gonna like that. I don't care. That's funny right there.
SPEAKER_02:Well, good.
SPEAKER_00:That's funny right there. I don't care. I have a fun fact for you today, though.
SPEAKER_02:What?
SPEAKER_00:If a monkey has a baby that has a deform or a condition that requires extra attention, they kill it. Like no. Like an example, a heart murmur, they just dump the monkey far away, like really far away. So that when they would have another monkey, it doesn't take time away from raising the normal monkey. The deformed monkey, if it has a deformation, it has to figure life out on its own.
SPEAKER_02:So they just abandon it. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:They get rid of take it and dump it somewhere. Like, oh, figure it out, dude.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, I feel like humans used to do that.
SPEAKER_00:You know what baby monkeys are called?
SPEAKER_02:Um no.
SPEAKER_00:They're called infants. Like somebody's trying to press uh the big bang on us too hard, but whatever.
SPEAKER_01:It's fine.
SPEAKER_00:My science teacher used to she believed in it. My old science teacher.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, she'd every time we came around, like in science class in high school, she'd be like, now come in this with an open mind. She was a hippie. And she's like, remember, if you come in it with an open mind, it could open your eyes to things that are true and real. Not some of the things that you learn at home or at church. I was like, wow. Oh wow, very inappropriate, but okay. You came from monkeys. I was like, that's it. I thought this was gonna be way deeper than that.
SPEAKER_02:She's like, that's it, believe it.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. And she would really press it. She would want you to really believe it. Made that lady cry one time. Well, I didn't. Class collectively did me and a couple of friends.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, I made my science teacher cry too.
SPEAKER_00:I wasn't a degenerate. I felt really bad.
SPEAKER_02:You yeah, you were.
unknown:No.
SPEAKER_02:Maybe not in that moment, but you definitely.
SPEAKER_00:Oh no, I was definitely in a degenerate in that moment. The reason we made her cry is because we were playing musical chairs in the first like 20 minutes of class, like randomly.
SPEAKER_01:That's fun.
SPEAKER_00:We would just get up and all change seats while playing music. And then when it ended, we had to sit down really quick. She's like, Where's the music coming from? And then she was like yelling. It's like, stop doing it. I can't handle it today. I can't. And one of my buddies is like, Isn't that kind of your job? Kind of handle high school students and know what you signed up for. And then she just started bawling like out of nowhere, like crying like really hard. I was like, oh damn, that kind of sucks. I didn't mean to make her cry.
SPEAKER_02:I could not be a teacher. Y'all put up with a lot of crap. I know. In eighth grade, Rachel and I, um, in our math, was it math? I don't know. I didn't pay attention, you'll see. Um, we used to sneak out the window, which was at her desk. It was to the side of her desk. You had to go behind it to get out the window. Me and Rachel would sneak out and go on the playground and just hang out.
SPEAKER_00:Well, when she was crying, she ran out, told us her dog of 18 years died that morning.
SPEAKER_02:Oh my god.
SPEAKER_00:So she just really didn't have the mental capacity to deal with this. And then we all felt bad.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Well, then she came back in the classroom and we were like, We're sorry. No, we didn't we didn't know. We was just acting stupid, being dumb, like normal. And this other kid in our class, one of my other buddies, was like, Yeah, I don't I don't feel bad at all. He said, uh, that's literally it's still your job. If you couldn't handle it, you shouldn't have come to work today. I was like, Oh my gosh, dude, that's freaking brutal. I did feel bad.
SPEAKER_02:I feel like teachers they take on a lot of bullying and it's from like 20 people at a time.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, yeah, dude. I feel bad for him. Except Coach Walden. I don't feel bad for him. He gets everything coming to him.
SPEAKER_02:We gotta have him on. Tim's joking. He loves that.
SPEAKER_00:Cut his hair this week. That guy is. He is. If you want to talk about like levels of teachers, he's at the bottom.
SPEAKER_01:Stop.
SPEAKER_00:I'm just kidding, coach. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. You know, he's uh got the girls and boys this year, and he told me some of the things he did for the team, and I'm just like, dude, people don't do this, they don't do that, you know. And uh I don't want to go out telling this business and what all he does because he he will not take credit for anything he never has, he never will, and that's awesome. But he uh I was like, You get some shoes? He's like, Man, I got so much for this team, like that they didn't have out of his pocket. It's like man, people don't do that, man. That's so cool. I can't wait to go watch him.
SPEAKER_02:He still has passion.
SPEAKER_00:He's he's so humble. I said, you know, obviously you're a you're a boys' coach, you're one of the greatest, you know, in Oklahoma of all time. And then he deny and be like, I had a bunch of great guys, and that's cool. But he's like, how are the girls gonna be? You're the girls' coaches here. That's different for you. He's like, how are the girls gonna be? You know, last year they were they were good, they were really good. How are they gonna be this year? He said, We got a chance to be all right. I said, Coach Walden, I've known you since 2009. I've heard you say they're gonna be alright about 10 times, and you guys were state finalists. When he says they're gonna they have a chance to be alright, they're probably gonna have a chance to be really good. He said, Well, I mean, we got a defender, we got a girl that can shoot, we got a girl that can handle, and we got a big. I said, You just named everything in girls' basketball that it takes to be good. Like, that's literally it. You have everything you need to be good. He's like, Well, we'll see. We gotta put it on the court and do it. I was like, man, you gotta quit front, dude. We're gonna beat everybody. He won't never do it, but it's fine.
SPEAKER_01:That's good.
SPEAKER_00:It is good. I wouldn't be like that. Nah, we hear the whoop some ass, boy. Take names. That's what we're doing.
SPEAKER_02:No mercy.
SPEAKER_00:91 to 7. We're gonna make it 100. Get to a hundred. At least dude, that's crazy because uh, I know this is way off topic. The Jinx football or basketball team two weeks ago won like 92 to zero or something crazy. I was like, oh my gosh.
SPEAKER_02:No mercy.
SPEAKER_00:Well, they were showing mercy. That's what's even worse. Wow, dude, they put the beating on Enid. I was like, oh my gosh. I think the first two plays of games are pick sixes, and they're like, dude, we can't even play our string.
SPEAKER_02:They can't play worse, like they couldn't play worse.
SPEAKER_00:I was talking to somebody that was watching, they were like, dude, in the third quarter, they were just running it up the middle with their four string running back, and he's scoring, he's breaking 70 yard touchdowns. Like, yeah, dude, what a beat, dude. That's crazy.
SPEAKER_02:Oh well.
SPEAKER_00:That's crazy. Builds character for the losers. I don't even know how we got on that topic, but I'm not sure either. We went from fun fact. Oh, that's how. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, yeah. Okay.
SPEAKER_00:Talking about teachers and high school experiences, and then it went into talking about bad teachers that really are bad.
SPEAKER_02:We got a question submitted. Boom! Boom. Did you submit it to him?
SPEAKER_00:No, I didn't.
SPEAKER_02:It's anonymous sound.
SPEAKER_00:I did not submit it. I didn't notice.
SPEAKER_02:We have not been getting questions, but we got one. It was uh I do not submit questions. I think it was by the time we got back from the cruise.
SPEAKER_00:Yes, which is we'll indulge in after our question.
SPEAKER_02:Yes.
SPEAKER_00:So let's let's answer the freaking thing, dude. Gang.
SPEAKER_02:Okay, what's the question?
SPEAKER_00:I don't know. I know. Okay, I don't freaking know. I have no clue. The question is do you eat yellow snow? That's not the question. I don't know the question.
SPEAKER_02:Would you rather fight a kangaroo or fruit? Whoa, I'm sorry, guys. Or four raccoons. So would you rather fight a kangaroo or four raccoons? But then they added with boxing gloves. So they're being nice and giving you boxing gloves, but also I feel like you're indicating you want us to fight the kangaroo. And my choice is raccoons. I love raccoons, I think they're so cute. I know that they're like scrappy though, but also I've seen some videos of kangaroos, and that'd be like me fighting a grown ass man, and I don't want to do that. I can get scrappy too. I will be kicking, punching these raccoons.
SPEAKER_00:No, it's with boxing gloves. So I would assume I'm gonna do whatever I want. That's not how that works.
SPEAKER_02:I'm gonna fight. I'm doing whatever I want.
SPEAKER_00:No, it's boxing gloves.
SPEAKER_02:Okay, you think the raccoons are gonna fight fair or the kangaroo? No. It's boxing. No, they're not gonna fight fair.
SPEAKER_00:Look, it it with boxing gloves.
SPEAKER_02:Okay, I still oh well.
SPEAKER_00:You can't kick them. It's boxing.
SPEAKER_02:But it says with boxing gloves, does that indicate that we have to be boxing or that you're getting a protective?
SPEAKER_00:I assumed it indicated boxing style. With boxing gloves. Here's the thing you box them.
SPEAKER_02:And okay, well, my answer stays the same. I don't, first of all, I don't know how to box. I'm not a professional boxer, but I do know I'm gonna win the fight, and so I'm gonna do what I need to do to fight a raccoon.
SPEAKER_00:How are you gonna? It's four of them, not one. How are you gonna you're gonna lay on the ground? No, you're gonna punch the ground?
SPEAKER_02:Well, it depends which way they start at me first. I'm telling, but I'm telling you, I'm not gonna just box them. The fights aren't.
SPEAKER_00:You gotta box them into a boxing gloves.
SPEAKER_02:Timothy, I'm telling you, I'm making my own rules.
SPEAKER_00:I think that's not the question.
SPEAKER_02:But it's my answer.
SPEAKER_00:Uh my answer is the raccoons. I need boxing. Okay, I need boxing no dang kangaroo, first off.
SPEAKER_02:Okay, Tim, how are you gonna do it with boxing kangaroo?
SPEAKER_00:I'm going to hammer fist them. Okay. One at a time.
SPEAKER_02:I'm gonna freaking one at a time, but all four of them are coming at you.
SPEAKER_00:I'm gonna whack them all. Dude, they ain't gonna mess me up that bad.
SPEAKER_02:I don't know. They bite, scratch.
SPEAKER_00:Good. The closer they get, the better I'm gonna do it. You're gonna have rabies. One jumps on me, bam.
SPEAKER_02:You're telling me your automatic reflex isn't gonna be to also kick them. You're gonna keep boxing rules. I have my own rules. We do not have rules. You have boxing gloves, four raccoons, and a fight. I'm gonna do what needs to be done.
SPEAKER_00:Look, if there's no rules and I can use my legs, it's easy, raccoons. I'm stomping one, I'm kicking one, I'm gonna pick one up, I'm gonna pick up and use it to hit the other time. And I'm gonna pick one up and I'm gonna drop it like a football, and I'm gonna punt that thing into the tree stand that I have. I got like six raccoons out there right now. And the only reason I ain't out there with the 22 is because you like raccoons, or them suckers wouldn't make it. I've I've been tempted to kill one and hang it from the tree above where the feet so the other raccoons know not to come and eat all my dang corn.
SPEAKER_02:That is dark.
SPEAKER_00:You dude, you think that's you should have heard what Dakota said about them.
SPEAKER_02:I it's all right.
SPEAKER_00:That's dark. This man Dakota said grab one while it's alive and skin it in front of its buddies and then just leave it there so they so they know, dude. They're freaking menaces that eat all of the corn, dude.
SPEAKER_02:I know a good therapist if you guys need a recommendation.
SPEAKER_00:We do. He had a joke with it too.
SPEAKER_02:I ain't saying that one, but yeah, it's not safe.
SPEAKER_00:It's not racist. I need to throw that out there. It is not racist because we're talking about raccoons. It's gonna be dark, but it is dark and it's not racist, though. In any way, shape, or form.
SPEAKER_02:I know y'all's humor is just gonna be dark. Y'all gonna be out here triggering people.
SPEAKER_00:Little freaking raccoons, man. They're little freaking hood rat little things, man.
SPEAKER_02:So if you're getting attacked by raccoons, you're seriously gonna stick to boxing roles because you have boxing gloves on.
SPEAKER_00:Well, that's what the question was.
SPEAKER_02:It said nothing about roles, it said with boxing gloves. Are you sure this isn't your question? Because you're getting pretty defensive about sticking to the roles.
SPEAKER_00:It ain't my question, but let me tell you, if I'm boxing a kangaroo, if that was my option, if I chose it, I I ain't winning.
SPEAKER_02:I would get beat up.
SPEAKER_00:I'm telling you, I'm getting my pieces in. I did one litter shot. They they might be able to hit me good, but they got them legs, they jump up and hit you as sober. I've seen kangaroo.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, they got the kicks.
SPEAKER_00:I've seen kangaroo.
SPEAKER_02:See, that's the thing, too. Are you gonna keep boxing rules with a kangaroo because they're doing kicks? Are you telling me you're just gonna stick to the boxing rules?
SPEAKER_00:Well, I just assumed it was a boxing match.
SPEAKER_02:So, what are you gonna do? Are you gonna stick to the boxing rules when fighting a raccoon? Wait, kangaroo.
SPEAKER_00:Well, if they're sticking to the boxing rules, Timothy. It's a boxing rule.
SPEAKER_02:The raccoons aren't gonna sit there and punch you. So they are not going by the rules. The kangaroo's not gonna go by the rules. I didn't plan by going by the rules.
SPEAKER_00:Can I still wrestle?
SPEAKER_02:Baby, you can do whatever you need to do to win the fight. That's what I'm doing.
SPEAKER_00:We knew kangaroos are strong. We know they can kick. We know they can probably hit a little bit if they want to.
SPEAKER_02:What if it shoves your head in its pouch? Kind of like when like a bully, like you see on TV where they shove people's head in the toilet. What if it like does that sound to the pouch?
SPEAKER_00:Sounds like a king.
SPEAKER_02:And then it just starts like punching your rib pick.
SPEAKER_00:That's a kangaroo crucifix right there, baby. Oh, that's what that's called.
SPEAKER_02:That's wild.
SPEAKER_00:Look, we know kangaroos can kick. We know that they got fast little hands, like brrrrrr, you know, real fast at you with them hands. It's like, whoa.
SPEAKER_02:For real.
SPEAKER_00:You know what no one's checked? Islam said it best. No one's checked kangaroos grappling. Can they grapple? I get my hands around that neck. I'm choking that sucker out. Know that.
SPEAKER_02:It'll be worth a try.
SPEAKER_00:Sleep that thing.
SPEAKER_02:Would that baby be your first move?
SPEAKER_00:You gotta get close to them, and they they probably not gonna let you get that close. They're gonna kick at you, they're gonna jump, and they're pretty fast, and they're running in circles. Are we in a ring? If we're in a ring, if I got if it's like an enclosed area.
SPEAKER_02:I'm not sure.
SPEAKER_00:I get close to this sucker.
SPEAKER_02:I'm not sure that you're gonna get a kangaroo willingly in a ring and go by boxing rules.
SPEAKER_00:No, there's no rules. I just need to know if there's a ring.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, now there's no rules.
SPEAKER_00:Is there a ring?
SPEAKER_02:Tim, I read the question to you.
SPEAKER_00:You got the same words I think if there's a ring in there and I can get it and get my hands on him and I can get my hands around his neck. I like my chances. Know that.
SPEAKER_02:Why does it have to be in a ring? Because you need to pen on yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I gotta get him against a fence, against a cage. Otherwise, out in the wild. He ain't catching a kangaroo in the wild. Australia done for, you're gonna die.
SPEAKER_02:Uh he's gonna suffocate you in his pouch.
SPEAKER_00:Raccoons in the wild, you got a good chance.
SPEAKER_02:I choose the raccoons. I stand by my first case.
SPEAKER_00:They climb that fence, they can jump at you from different angles. You gotta be a little careful. But a raccoon, I mean a kangaroo in a cage, you can get that distance on them. I can I'm gonna fake, I'm gonna fake out like I'm gonna punch him and I'm gonna jump on him.
SPEAKER_02:I would even in a cage, I would still choose four raccoons.
SPEAKER_00:I'm wrecking them both at the same time. Give me four raccoons and a kangaroo. Let's go.
SPEAKER_02:Okay.
SPEAKER_00:Let's freaking go. I'm gonna wreck that thing, dude.
SPEAKER_02:I'd like to see that.
SPEAKER_00:Give me some raccoons. I got I got about ten of them that's been eating my corn every night, so we'll go.
SPEAKER_02:But where do we get the kangaroo?
SPEAKER_00:Well, I'm out on the kangaroo.
SPEAKER_02:Tulsa zoo?
SPEAKER_00:I don't even think Tulsa Zoo has a kangaroo.
SPEAKER_02:I feel like they do.
SPEAKER_00:I ain't been long enough. I need to go see if they got a kangaroo.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I'll ask the uh zoo person. Hey yo, I I need to do something. Can I go box this thing?
SPEAKER_02:That is so not gonna fly.
SPEAKER_00:I need a piece of a raccoon for the for the uh the clout. I gotta show the show the podcast listeners I can bang, bang, you know, give them a little one-two, jump on them, grab that neck.
SPEAKER_02:If we were in a zombie apocalypse, do you think I would be the group leader?
SPEAKER_00:Hell no.
SPEAKER_02:The like comic really or the one that like screams, runs away, and dies or none of them.
SPEAKER_00:I don't think he'd be any of those things.
SPEAKER_02:I'm the zombie.
SPEAKER_00:No. I think you're the analyzer.
SPEAKER_02:Dig into that for me.
SPEAKER_00:You know, we in a zombie apocalypse. Let's break it down. Let's set the scene. We got 15 zombies chasing us, it's a group of five of us.
SPEAKER_02:It's not zombie uh kangaroos, right?
SPEAKER_00:No. Okay. Normal zombies. We wouldn't make it we in a in an enclosed area. We got a solution, but we gotta get out of this area to get away from the zombies. You're gonna have the people that freak out, you're gonna have the people that fight, you're gonna have like the the leader that's like, I'll go first, I'm that guy. It's fine if I die, know that I did it. Know that I had y'all's back. And then you got the person that's like, here's how we're gonna do it. We gotta do we gotta find this route and this route, and we gotta know that they're they can't do this or this, but they can do this and this, so we gotta be better at it than this and this. That's you. You that person.
SPEAKER_02:Thank you.
SPEAKER_00:You're welcome.
SPEAKER_02:Sweet.
SPEAKER_00:That's what I think.
SPEAKER_02:We'd make it together.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I can shoot, boy.
SPEAKER_02:That'd be fine.
SPEAKER_00:I'll fight a zombie too. Let's go. Boxing gloves on.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, but you you gotta be real like if they bite you, you're screwed. To where like the raccoons, the worst that's gonna happen is a little bit of rabies. Who hasn't had it?
SPEAKER_00:Look, I seen Shauna the Dead, which is the uh movie that makes fun of Donna the Dead, and the zombie at the end becomes uh a cool zombie. So that's gonna be me.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:I'm gonna be the zombie at the end that you're taking care of. You got him chained up, he's still chained up because he sometimes like whoa, whoa, whoa.
SPEAKER_02:Let me get your food. Let me eat your brains. Do they feed him humans?
SPEAKER_00:No, they give them food.
SPEAKER_02:Regular food? Yeah, it's a funny movie.
SPEAKER_00:Zombie. Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, it's like a parody. Oh, okay. I gotta watch that.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it's called Shauna the Dead. It makes fun of the movie Donna the Dead.
SPEAKER_02:I haven't seen either.
SPEAKER_00:No.
SPEAKER_02:There's so many different zombie movies.
SPEAKER_00:I'm not into zombie movies, man. I just or shows like I just I can't get into They're not fun to me. I don't really enjoy them. Yeah. I'm just like What's that zombie show everybody loves?
SPEAKER_02:Uh The Walking Dead.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I think that's what's so.
SPEAKER_02:I watched a lot of it, like when it was gosh, I don't even know how long ago this was, but when they were actually coming out like every week and stuff, they might still be. I don't know. But it was middle school, high school. Watched it throughout, and then I stopped because I mean we're on it to be dramatic, the 24th season, and we're just doing the same things.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I'm just I just can't get into it. It's not entertaining to me. But nothing against people who do like it, it's just not for me. I'm like, I just I know that you would be the closest thing to zombie that I like are uh the 100 grounders.
SPEAKER_02:They're just humans who had to adapt to radiation and living.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, they're not zombies at all. Yeah, but that's just the closest I can get. I like that they do have the reaper. Yeah, it's more realistic, but they're still creepy, like the reapers are zombie-like, you know. So that's the closest I can get.
SPEAKER_02:But it's like drug induced and torture induced.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, and it's like um it's not all the time, it's like randomly in the show. It's like, oh wow. Wow.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, that's actually reapers are scarier to me than zombies. I feel like zombies are just stupid. They're literally just stupid.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Um I know that you'd be the protective one.
SPEAKER_00:Like Which is why I'd probably die.
SPEAKER_02:No, we'd make a great team because like I'm not gonna let you die because here's the smart thing to do. You got my back while we do it.
SPEAKER_00:Look, no, this if there's a zombie apocalypse, I'm turning it into John Wick real quick. John Wick arrow mix, I'll take that crossbow right there and while pulling out the pistol sliding and stuff.
SPEAKER_02:I think it would be fine.
SPEAKER_00:And honestly, it's like if I get in close quarters and I'm on the ground, I'm just gonna cut their Achilles. Any moving after that happens, buddy.
SPEAKER_02:The way to kill them so you have to like stick a knife in their brain or two.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, you should have in the head. Yeah, but you cut that Achilles, they can't walk. Don't matter. But what if I don't need to kill them?
SPEAKER_02:But we don't know the type of zombies we're gonna be fighting because we're going like based off movies. What if it doesn't matter wherever else you harm them? It's not harmful to them. Only the brain can injure them or kill them.
SPEAKER_00:If you cut the Achilles, their foot can't move.
SPEAKER_02:Timothy, it's a zombie.
SPEAKER_00:They can all walk with one leg, right?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, it's a zombie.
SPEAKER_00:It's just why don't wash it.
SPEAKER_02:There's no living tissue, they're dead. They're a zombie. I don't know. I would rather take the raccoons. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, that's an easy choice.
SPEAKER_02:With or without boxing gloves.
SPEAKER_00:That's an easy choice right there, right there, right there. But um on another note. We went on a cruise two weeks ago.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, we did.
SPEAKER_00:It's weird, it's been two weeks already.
SPEAKER_02:Mm-hmm. In my head, it was one week ago.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I guess well, yeah. Obviously, he didn't go to work.
SPEAKER_02:I went to work one day after we got back and tested positive for COVID because it's almost a guarantee you're gonna get it on the cruise. And so I didn't go back to work for the rest of the week.
SPEAKER_00:Well, I didn't test positive for COVID.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:One time in my life that I did not literally.
SPEAKER_02:I think I've had it eight times.
SPEAKER_00:I did not get it. I don't know how, but I expected it.
SPEAKER_02:This time wasn't really that bad at all, but we just didn't want to spread it, you know, infection control even.
SPEAKER_00:I went to work, I was fine. I never I was like, dude, I'm gonna get it. It's fine. I expected it going into the cruise.
SPEAKER_02:I just cuddled our dog.
SPEAKER_00:Come back. I said, dang, dude. I got that good blood now.
SPEAKER_02:Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_00:Shoot, I cut myself one too many times in the hands. Maybe it's maybe it's doing me good justice.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, I'm the only one between us who was drinking the vitamin C packets, taking vitamins, and Tim's the one who doesn't get it.
SPEAKER_00:That's because I drank that liquor.
SPEAKER_02:Honestly, maybe I just needed that time off that I drank it too.
SPEAKER_00:The liquor.
SPEAKER_02:Did you get to hang out with Rhonda?
SPEAKER_00:Yo, dude, we saw freaking Rhonda, man. We played some cards. Katie played Cards Against Humanities. I kind of watched and ran and got drinks as they were playing, but got to meet the Rhonda.
SPEAKER_02:You know what I did? Don't meet your heroes. I was let down this time because she was sober.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, we saw her in a hot tub once and we thought about it, but there was also about 14 other people in that thing. We'll find another one. I'm good. She probably hammered in there yelling at them people. I'm I'll go find another one.
SPEAKER_02:They renewed their vows on the cruise, so good for them. It was fun playing cards against humanity with them.
SPEAKER_00:Yep, got to see good old Rome.
SPEAKER_02:She just said hi and kept going after that.
SPEAKER_00:Yep.
SPEAKER_02:Just say hi when we saw each other, and we found a lot of ducks. Duck hunting is a thing on the cruises. Um I'm actually really good at hiding ducks, so much so that the ones I bought for our cruise, I could not find.
SPEAKER_00:We found them when we got back.
SPEAKER_02:I found them yesterday. But we found two weeks.
SPEAKER_00:Dude, we found like 80 ducks on this cruise, man.
SPEAKER_02:No, dude. Like I think the total was 108.
SPEAKER_00:Dang.
SPEAKER_02:But it was ducks. Uh yeah, it was a probando stuff, yeah. Bat, like little bats, ghost, a rock. A mugshot. It was a little doggy. Yeah, we found we found a lot.
SPEAKER_00:We did. It was cool. Found some little Jesuses, of course. Everybody hides a little Jesus on there. We're like, hey, we're not gonna take the elevator this cruise. We're gonna stare at the whole time. We did, but day three, I was like, dang, man, I'm out of shape.
SPEAKER_02:It got better after that.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it was fine. Yeah, after like day three, it was like, okay, I'm good now. Got a little used to the stairs, but yeah, we we kept doing it. We kept doing all the stairs, partially because all the dang people in carts on the dang cruise, man, taking up half the dang elevators. Oh well, we needed to take the stairs, and we were on floor one, so which was actually really convenient. It was people think that's like road was like right above it, and then the shows were right above it on three.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. The only thing you were far from was the Leto deck, which is 10. And just take the elevator up and actually wait for it.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, which we most of the time we didn't.
SPEAKER_02:We just walked up because we're duck hunting.
SPEAKER_00:And um, with those elevators, they typically just stay from like 10 to 4, floors 10 to 4, and just rotate those floors. So sometimes you gotta wait till someone's going all the way down to one before you can get on it and go back up. So we were like, uh, we'll just take the stairs. And if we get to like floor five and we're tired, we'll just hop on one if it's open, but if not, we'll just keep going. It was a fun cruise though. It was good, it was relaxing, really relaxing, good stops. Um, we've done it before, it was a nice time. I enjoyed it.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, we went to Celebration Key, it was new for us. Because it was a new island island resort, yeah. The carnival main.
SPEAKER_00:It is uh underwhelming in my opinion. It wasn't that great, but it's cool.
SPEAKER_02:Half Moon K is always a winner.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it I I love Half Moon K. It's my favorite beach. I said it the one time we went, then we just went back, and I still think that that place is so nice, man. It's a really, really nice beach. I don't know if you remember, I got sunburn on my head in one spot, literally one on my forehead up here. I almost blistered there. That's the only place I got well, I got a little sunburn everywhere, but I was wearing sunscreen really regularly. But that one spot it was like I never saw it.
SPEAKER_02:Put it on like once.
SPEAKER_00:No, I put on sunscreen like five, six times. Every time I went to get a drink, I put it on.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, okay. Then yeah, that was quite a bit.
SPEAKER_00:So I'm the one who did it like twice. Throw me under the bus.
SPEAKER_02:Well, because usually you don't put sunscreen on. I'm like, hey, put on sunscreen and like reminding you.
SPEAKER_00:Hey, yeah, shout out to freaking Joel, that little little the Joel.
SPEAKER_02:What is that?
SPEAKER_00:The guy who sold us the freaking bag of beers that told us it he was giving them to us for 18 bucks, not to tell anybody.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, we had$33. He lied.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, he freaking lied. Was not$18, it was$73 for freaking five beers, by the way. Now I ain't gonna lie, he did throw in three extra in our bag.
SPEAKER_02:And we had um free daiquiries, yeah.
SPEAKER_00:So we gave it I had a great time, it was a blast, but I was I got I saw that charge.
SPEAKER_02:I was like, mother and then you saw them on the cruise because the workers at Half Moon Cade.
SPEAKER_00:They work on the ship, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:A lot of them end up working or they're on the ship and work at Half Mooncade, actually, Will that saw them, and they take the same drinks.
SPEAKER_00:Yes, we'll saw them on the cruise, and he didn't say nothing, but we'll bought three of them bags, so that's why he noticed them. He's like, dude, they're$55 on the ship. They're only 18 here. That's awesome. So he bought three of them.
SPEAKER_02:I feel like he did not tell you guys 18.
SPEAKER_00:He did, he told us 18.
SPEAKER_02:That's not what I heard when you got in the ocean. You're like, you told me it was okay, 25. Never mind, that's not too far off.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, but it was 18. He told us it was 18. But you know what? I'm beginning to think, I'm beginning to think he was saying those daiquiries he was giving us were free were 18 apiece. That just just now in my head, I bet those daiquiries are 18 apiece, and he was giving us those for free. Saying, hey, these are 18, but I'm just gonna give them to you. And we uh mind you, most of the people on chips that work on them are not American, so they do have sometimes language barriers. He was a nice guy, he was not trying to like and now I'm beginning to think he was telling us those those drinks were he was giving them to us for free and they were 18 bucks, and then we were buying the bags, assuming that's what he was saying.
SPEAKER_02:But here's the thing we were gonna get drinks no matter what.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah. We drank that we drink them. We got back on the ship.
SPEAKER_02:It is what it is, and we have a little cooler thing.
SPEAKER_00:There was four of us, and we had four total bags. By the way, they're five apiece, and then he put eight in one of them. There was nothing left when we got on the ship, so yeah.
SPEAKER_02:I don't I don't think we made it to dinner that night.
SPEAKER_00:I can't remember, honestly.
SPEAKER_02:I don't think so.
SPEAKER_00:I just remember standing in line and it was it was really hot. It is it's about 95 degrees, and I was like to get on the what's it called?
SPEAKER_02:I want to say catamaran, but that's not degree. Yeah, to get back to the boat because they can't there's no port dock at Half Moon K.
SPEAKER_00:So you get on a you get off the ship onto another boat, a smaller boat that fits, you know, 500 people, and then they they take you to the small tiny dock on the island, but you stand in line for until the next one.
SPEAKER_02:Because everyone's leaving at like the same time.
SPEAKER_00:So we're standing in line, and I was like, I am really, really hot. And I just realized I'm really, really drunk. So I need a fan.
SPEAKER_02:We were fine in the water.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, when I got out of the water and got in that sun, was saying, I was like, I need a fan. I am really hot, I'm sweating bad. And I was like, I might throw up, so I had to get that fan.
SPEAKER_02:Guess who packed a fan?
SPEAKER_00:And you were smart because the melted ice water that was in the bag put it in the fan because it's it's one of those mist fans, so it was praying that nice freezing water. Oh, I was good after that. After about five minutes of that, I was like, okay, I'm fine now. Could use a little snack, but dude, I got really hot really fast. But it was a fun time. Uh Nassau is Nassau. That's our four. Is that our fourth time?
SPEAKER_02:Easily.
SPEAKER_00:And every time we've gone, it's got worse. And this time we went, I think we learned that they built a new port area that's in closed that's enclosed, like caged in, caged in, fenced in.
SPEAKER_02:They only allow like certain vendors in. I don't know what process they have to go to, but um well they have it the the vendor workers have TSA.
SPEAKER_00:That building that's to the left.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, it's TSA.
SPEAKER_00:It's like TSA, you know, where you have to go through the metal detectors and put your bags through the scanners. So yeah, I don't think they actually have to have like clearance to get in, but they have to be uh just appropriate items brought in. Yeah. And there's a reason for that. And everything in those vendors are so expensive.
SPEAKER_02:Uh so and it's like basic cheap stuff. Like the t-shirts are just they're five dollar t-shirts for 40 bucks. Like my niece could make me one.
SPEAKER_00:Yes, and but you want to buy it from them, and you have the freedom to go outside of that fencing if you would like. And they tell you do not walk down random streets, don't walk down alleys, don't carry jewelry, don't carry large amounts of cash. If you go to the beach, stay on the sidewalk along the fence line.
SPEAKER_02:So many warnings for Nassau. It was only Nassau.
SPEAKER_00:It insane amounts. They announced much over the intercom and they sent you papers, paper, and on your phone, they give you a warning. And there's a lot of them, a lot of them. And it's like, we recommend not going outside of the fence line unless going to the beach, or if you're an excursion, because then you're guided and you don't have to deal with anybody.
SPEAKER_02:But there's this straw market outside of it that we had been to every time we've gone.
SPEAKER_00:We've had good luck there.
SPEAKER_02:We have. And so we went outside the fence, walked up to the straw market, got bombarded, and went to the room.
SPEAKER_00:It's literally right across the street.
SPEAKER_02:Literally, out the fence, you cross the road, and it's right there. And then you have to so is everyone else who is not allowed inside the fenced area. So it's worse now. Because, like, there's we've been in sketchy scenarios, like it's literally fine, but it was to the point, it was just so bad where it's not even worth it. I don't care if I get a good deal or not. No one's getting no gifts from me on this cruise.
SPEAKER_00:The area was surrounded by cops to the point that when we came back in the fence, there were other people coming in the fence and people following them that the cops had to kick them out. They're like, You're not allowed in here. And they got mad and stood along the fence yelling at the people that were walking in the fence. They're like, Go, you can't be here. You know that. You know that. Go, you can stand across the street and do what you gotta do.
SPEAKER_02:I can appreciate Carnival's initiative to make it a better experience because there's cool stuff in there, I guess. Like there is still like some restaurants and stuff. I don't know. I'm not gonna go back. Like, I don't care to go back to Nassau. If it happens to be a stop on an excursion we want, or I mean on a cruise we went, then great. But I don't really care.
SPEAKER_00:And I will tell you, as a woman, you're screwed.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, that's that's just uh being out in public all the time.
SPEAKER_00:But it's so bad there. Like the second they see a female, it doesn't matter if they're with a male, it doesn't matter if they're 10 or 20 males to one female, that female will get cat called the moment that she walks through. The moment and you'll get touched, grab they are wrapping around you like hyenas. It's like, dude, this is not okay. We literally turned right back around and went right back in that gate because it's like I'm I'm not even going to attempt to walk into the straw market.
SPEAKER_02:I'm be honest, Tim didn't really want to go outside the fence. I did not, but I did because I mama didn't raise no B word. I'm going outside that fence. I'm going to the straw market.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it got us to across the street in front of the straw market before she's like, Yeah, I think you're right. We should be able to get the card.
SPEAKER_02:I was the one who said we need, I was like, let's go back.
SPEAKER_00:It's like I saw this one come in when I saw everybody standing here waiting for the female. Because you could see some males walk out and they don't bombard you as bad. They'll they'll yell at you and want you to buy stuff, but they don't surround you, they don't get around you. The I mean, the moment a female walks out, it's like bam. It's like, dude, oh my gosh.
SPEAKER_02:What a disgusting world we live in. And I'm not just talking about there, I'm I could get into a whole thing.
SPEAKER_00:And it's and I'm gonna go ahead and it's not only the men. The women will, they are like, hey babe, it looks so beautiful. Come, and then they run up to you and it's like it it's primarily men.
SPEAKER_02:They want to braid my hair so bad.
SPEAKER_00:It is primarily men, but the women are just as bad, they're just not as bad with the hands. They don't they don't put their hands on you. The men don't care, they're gonna put their hands on you. I was like, dude, kick fucking rocks. How about that? It just makes it it did make me very uncomfortable.
SPEAKER_02:I knew from the moment, like this is gonna make me just know that I I would have been okay, like I would have gone through that straw market, but I know how Tim is and how much he loves and protects me. I was not willing to put him in that situation because like I'm trying to get back on the ship and not have to like fly home after getting out of jail in Nassau because Tim put his hands on someone, rightfully so, for putting their hands on me. So I was like, you know what? Let's go into the fence area because I love you and want to continue our trip.
SPEAKER_00:I can handle the conversations, I can handle the bombardment, I can handle the buy this, by that. I don't like when people touch me, I don't like when people touch people I know. I'm like, don't don't put your hands off folks, man. You just don't do that. That's but there, that's not a thing. That's it's the opposite. It's like their go-to is put their hands on you. Like, that's the first thing. Because once their hands are on you, you can't really get away. You know, it's like, oh, they they'll buy it because they want me to let go of them or they want me to not touch them.
SPEAKER_02:I'm gonna act like they're four raccoons and I got boxing gloves on.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, you're about to find out what a raccoon finds out. You know, and it's crazy because the beach there is actually a really, really beautiful beach. It's just trying the process of getting to it is not worth it.
SPEAKER_02:It's I I honestly they probably should have just stopped sailing to Nassau instead of spending money on this port.
SPEAKER_00:I do believe their future terms is to build Celebration Key so big that one day you stop on one side of it and the other day you stop on the other. And just eliminate Nassau.
SPEAKER_02:Probably.
SPEAKER_00:I really do. I mean, they have I mean, you when we pulled up the Celebration Key, it's a small amount of area right now. It's not super big. It's big enough.
SPEAKER_02:Is it for a day? It's bigger than half moon.
SPEAKER_00:It is, yeah. It is big.
SPEAKER_02:It has a like it's like a whole like castle, it looks like sand castle. I mean, it's cool.
SPEAKER_00:I'm not saying they didn't do a good job. It's like a resort, it's just a little underwhelming to me. I was like, ah, it's it's okay. It didn't help that it was storming the day we were there, but that didn't even bother me. We got in the pool, we had a good time in the pool and stuff. It's just a lot of people in kind of a smaller area, and it's multiple ships at that stop. So we only have it was only us halfway. There's two ships there that day. And there you could see they're building another port on the other side, so it's like if they have two more, that would equivalent to four ships in that small of area. It's gonna be crazy. But behind it is nothing but land, nothing but land, and you see where they're already wiping out half of it. So I think they're gonna build it so big. It's a pretty big island, so I think they'll build it so big that you can literally wrap around to the other side the next day and do that half.
SPEAKER_02:Here's my thing though. I want to travel. If I want to go to a resort and swim in a pool and go down water slides, well, there's places in Oklahoma we can do that. I don't want to be doing these cruises where it's like, let's take you to these places that are just like places you have at home. No, I want to immerse myself in culture, preferably not where I get multiple men's hands put on me. But I want to get immersed in culture and find beauty in these other places, not just go to some place that they've made. Now, Half Moon K is the exception because it's a beautiful beach, and I'll take a beach day there anytime.
SPEAKER_00:It's a perfect day for like a beach day. If you want a beach day, that is the most perfect. Like if they if you told me I could take you can only get there by carnival cruise, but if I could get there and actually stay like four days, I'd probably do it.
SPEAKER_02:Oh yeah, put me in a shack. Actually, I don't need the shack. I got the beach.
SPEAKER_00:It's such it's so beautiful. It's a beautiful beautiful, it's a really beautiful beach, and it's like the it's just a perfect thing for a beach day. Yeah, I love having beaches.
SPEAKER_02:Oh my gosh, Tim. We got locked out of our suitcases. Before we when we got out of so we did our podcast um before we needed to leave, we're like, yeah, we still have stuff to pack up. Well, was it then? Anyways, we got locked out.
SPEAKER_00:Yes, before then we forgot the codes to the TSA locks. Well, I don't remember when they're typically covering they're typically set at 000. Hers was not, it was already preset to a code. We didn't know the code. Mine, I didn't forget mine.
SPEAKER_02:I just had it, I had it backwards. So mine, we could not get in it. And Tim had already packed his, like checked his lock, and I was like, we could not get into mine. And I was like, okay, well, let's do yours. He's like, Yeah, I've already got into it multiple times and it's locked right now. So he went to get in it, and he's like, I can't get in mine. My immediate suggestion was, well, maybe it's like the opposite of what you thought it was, like it's backwards. No, and so he just like keeps going, tries different numbers, frustrated, doesn't know why it works, is looking up YouTube videos on how to break into these TSA approved locks. And then he finally does my suggestion and it works.
SPEAKER_00:You know what? Let me try it.
SPEAKER_02:Because he did set it upside down.
SPEAKER_00:So okay, I didn't set it up, I said it like standing up, and when you lay it on its side, the code reads different from when it's standing up, right? So I it I guess technically it's backwards, but it's well, it's just yeah, whatever. So when I laid it on its side, I was like, dude, I've done it like 10 times. This makes no sense. It literally worked every single time. I did it five minutes ago, and now it's not working. And then I was like, you know, I'm gonna try what she said. So I turned it on its side, tried it, it opened the first time. I was like, dang.
SPEAKER_02:Crazy business, yeah.
unknown:Dang.
SPEAKER_02:But he did find out my code by uh looking up on how to do it. You just go by each number and you'll feel it like slowly loosen while you're pressing on the lock. So he got it, and then we remembered the code afterwards, but uh that was fun.
SPEAKER_00:Every time I'm gonna do it. Every time I looked up how to figure it out, I was like, you gotta take it to a TSA agency and have him use the master key. I was like, nah, nah, nah. So I I I got into some deep dive on YouTube, and it took me about 15 videos. And I saw this dude, I ain't being funny, he was from Middle East, he was like Afghanistan fella. He's like, you got to put the numbers in the locks. I was like, I can't understand him. I was like, I can't understand the fella. He watched it, and uh, I watched it, and then I was just watching it, and I was like, I don't know what he's saying, so I don't know what I'm doing. So I just did what he was doing and it worked. I was like, it worked, you know what?
SPEAKER_02:It freaking worked, and we had a wonderful cruise.
SPEAKER_00:We did, and our last stop was Key West, so golf cart, always fun. Rented a golf cart, had a beautiful day at Key West. It was nice, drove through some water, went to a lot of different places there. It was a good time. All in all, it was a great vacation.
SPEAKER_02:I hope you guys had a good week while we were gone because we had a good week.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it was great. We came back. I felt really refreshed. I will tell you the week afterwards, it was really hard for me to get up in the mornings to get to work, be motivated. I uh haven't even got back in the gym yet. I don't know, maybe I was a little alcohol deprived the first week. I don't know because it was so hard. Yeah, it was so hard, and I don't know why. And I was like, uh, it's the only thing I can really think of at this point. Maybe I just need some alcohol. So before work, I started popping a cold one and headed to work.
SPEAKER_01:No, you didn't I did not.
SPEAKER_00:I did not. I will say though, shout out to freaking Will on the dang cruise. That's like it got me uh addicted to nine milligrams on the daggum. What's it mic called?
SPEAKER_02:I don't do them, I don't know.
SPEAKER_00:On the dang pouches, I was doing a sixes. I started doing a niners, and I tried to go back down to the sixes. Like, well, this sucks.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. Anyways, we had a good cruise, nicotine milligram increase in all, apparently. So many ducks, it was great. We feel rejuvenated, done with the sickness, back to our baby dog who loves to cuddle. He's so happy we're back. And um, I just want to remind you guys to like submit the questions, yeah.
