But they'll never see it. And they'll be like, toxic? I'm not toxic. What? Would they ever see it? No, I don't think they would either.

SPEAKER_03 2:10

No, I think my dad would say he's toxic. I don't think my mom's too.

SPEAKER_00 2:13

Dude, everyone in my family's toxic. My sister's toxic as shit. Dude, my sister's worse than like a person on like a stalking girlfriend, bro. Like, I share my location with her, and like sometimes when I want to be like a puta, I'll turn it off. And then she'll be like, Where were you? Why'd you turn your location off? I'm like, oh my god. Then it got to a point, like it was so much I was being asked that I just started turning it off just to turn it off. I can literally be at church, and I'm like, you know, I'm gonna turn it off today.

SPEAKER_03 2:46

Do you have her location? Yeah. Are you like that with her?

SPEAKER_00 2:49

Not at all. No, I don't really check anyone's location. Like the most I used to do is like if if I was out of town or something, like I'd see where she's at. And I'm like, oh, what are you doing over here in this? Or like I fucked with her one time and I was like, hey, since you're by this restaurant, you should bring me something to eat.

SPEAKER_01 3:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:08

But that's about it.

SPEAKER_03 3:10

Uh maybe it's not toxic. She probably just cares about you.

SPEAKER_00 3:14

Nah, she's toxic. She's toxic. Fuck that. Fuck that. I can literally tell her what I'm gonna do. I'm like, hey, I'm gonna be out, blah, blah, blah. And then she's just all like, Oh yeah, why is your location off?

SPEAKER_03 3:24

My girl. I'm gonna defend your sister and say she just cared about you. Thank you. On her side.

SPEAKER_00 3:30

Alright. Uh well, that was the end of this podcast. She probably just does look.

SPEAKER_03 3:36

She cares about you.

SPEAKER_00 3:37

It's fine.

SPEAKER_03 3:38

Nothing wrong with that, brother.

SPEAKER_00 3:39

Oh my god, voice of reason. Shut the fuck up.

SPEAKER_03 3:43

Shut up, brother. Damn.

SPEAKER_00 3:47

No.

SPEAKER_03 3:48

Then when she doesn't do it, then you're gonna be like, oh, why are you not checking up on me?

SPEAKER_00 3:51

I'm like, hey, you know, hey, but I want you to know I was in a pond for hours and you never came anymore. Asked where I was at.

SPEAKER_03 3:59

Did that come in handy that day?

SPEAKER_00 4:02

Not at all. I don't think I was sharing my location with anyone then.

SPEAKER_03 4:07

Damn. So anyway, we're talking about uh oh toxic, right? Super toxic. You got uh any toxic stories?

SPEAKER_00 4:16

Do I have any toxic stores? Brother, my birth. Um recent? Ooh, dude, yes. I mean, I've been in a few toxic situationships or I wanna I don't know if it's a dumb question.

SPEAKER_03 4:38

Alright, but I wanna ask it again.

SPEAKER_00 4:40

It's probably not. No question is dumb. No, there's some dumb questions. Yeah, I know. Just because people are dumb.

SPEAKER_03 4:45

Yeah. So do you think that okay, from uh from uh who do you think is more toxic, males or females? Just overall, if you were to to take an average, do you think it's pretty even or you think females are more toxic or males more toxic?

SPEAKER_00 5:04

I mean, guys are pretty toxic, dude.

SPEAKER_03 5:07

Yeah, see that now I feel like I was gonna ask a deaf question. Can it be even more toxic? Because it's like women women. Wow. Have you ever thought about that or no? No, that was that was a dumb question. That was a little dumb because I'm always thinking as a male, I always feel like the females are more toxic.

SPEAKER_00 5:31

That's why right, and I bet you if I were to ask your wife, she'd say you're just as toxic.

SPEAKER_03 5:36

I'm not toxic, am I? Yes, you are boom, yeah. Okay, dumb question. Whatever. I asked. I want to know. Can I say one thing? Yeah, I think it's different for female to female just because they're more emotional.

SPEAKER_00 5:53

Okay, she said she said she, I don't know if you guys heard her. She said she feels like it's different, female to female, because there's more emotion.

SPEAKER_03 6:01

That's what I meant to say. Sorry. See, it wasn't a dumb.

SPEAKER_00 6:03

Well, here's the thing, though. There are females who have that like nonchalant or I don't give a fuck, the same as men do. Yeah, but I feel there are females that are disconnected with emotion. Yeah, there are men that are super emotional, but that I feel like the majority are not, right? I think that's a stereotype, but I mean, hey, in every relationship I've been in, we're both super emotional. So thank you.

SPEAKER_03 6:28

Yeah, because I've heard some crazy oh, that was really loud. Oh, I've heard some uh let's just say I've heard some crazy stories, man. I don't wanna repeat one of them, but you know what?

SPEAKER_00 6:42

You don't have to, bro. If it's happened to one lesbian, it's happened to all of us, all right?

SPEAKER_04 6:48

You speak for the lesbian community.

SPEAKER_00 6:50

Listen, I'll speak for the lesbian community. We've probably all had a bitch try to jump out of our car in the heat of an argument or something, or we've had we've had someone literally, I've I've known someone to say, like, I'm gonna throw myself in front of a car that like that's driving or something like for arguing in the street, or I mean, have you ever been stabbed? Almost by a female, no, by a lover, no, because I don't know about like a they ever send someone on it? Yeah, see what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_03 7:22

Have you ever been stabbed or threatened?

SPEAKER_00 7:24

Yes, yes, no, I was like, I was turned on, and then you know what?

SPEAKER_04 7:31

Oh my god, that's toxic. It's toxic.

SPEAKER_00 7:34

Wow, it's so fucked up. Like I could sit there and like have a whole argument with you, and then I'm like, you know what, fuck you, blah blah blah blah. And then give it like an hour, and then I'm like, you want to get some food?

SPEAKER_03 7:45

That's funny, exactly how I am. Well, I'm like that only with my wife. I will say that.

SPEAKER_00 7:53

I'm like that with yeah, I would say it was prime primarily with my wife, or someone that I'm with long term.

SPEAKER_03 8:00

Okay, okay. I don't know if that was just overall your personality, because outside of my wife, I'm arguing I'll hold it. No, like if I gotta fuck well, I don't hold grudges. I'll hold I won't, I'll just like dude. I remember that one day you took that parking spot, man.

SPEAKER_00 8:14

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_03 8:16

We're done.

SPEAKER_00 8:17

See, I mean, I I can't sit here and say I don't hold grudges, but I also I feel like right now I'm at the I'm at a point in my life where I'm not gonna fake a funk anymore. So like if I feel like it's a fake crowd or like fake people, and this is this even goes to my motherfucking family. Like, if I feel like I there's fake energy there, I'm just not gonna go. I'm just not gonna show up. Yeah, or just and like it, it doesn't even have to be like the entire group is fake, it could just be like a couple bad apples that I just like, you know what? I don't want to give my energy to you or be around there or fake the punk or any of that. I don't hold a grudge. I'm just all like I already know how you are, so I'm cool off you. Is that holding a grudge? I feel like think thing. That's kind of is that holding the grudge? I mean, maybe it's not, but that's how I I thought it was more like trying to keep my peace, knowing my boundaries.

SPEAKER_03 9:15

That what you're doing?

SPEAKER_00 9:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:18

Alright, cool. I'm doing the same thing then.

SPEAKER_00 9:20

I thought No, but you're talking about fucking parking spot, bro. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_03 9:24

No, I didn't mean it like that, but what you describe the same way, like it just like you said, uh just know how this person is. Like, I don't want to.

SPEAKER_00 9:31

I'm cool off that, but I'm not gonna be mean, like if we do run into the same area or something, like it's just you're gonna like act like you didn't make eye contact.

SPEAKER_03 9:42

No, I'll make eye contact and just keep walking out. Oh, see, you're that's you're mean. Let's not be mean. Did they do anything to you? Um, sometimes no, sometimes I just don't, you know, when you feel like sometimes the energy's off. Just don't give a fuck.

SPEAKER_00 9:59

I love that. Just why involve yourself with that type of exactly like why just like that?

SPEAKER_03 10:07

Yeah, because I know some people like some people bring you down, man, when they're like that, right? Yeah, it brings like your energy out. Like, come on. Yes, yes, I agree, and I've gotten a lot better at dealing with that because you know um uh I shouldn't miss the I guess I'm not a friendly person, but I thought I was. I think I'm a friendly person, right? Friendly ish easy to get along with, you know. Yeah, I mean, once once you loosen up, once you loosen up. You know what I wanted to talk about? I was like, if I remember the I was like, we should talk about how we first became friends, right?

SPEAKER_04 10:40

Oh no. No. Oh do you remember that? Do you remember one of the first things I did?

SPEAKER_00 10:50

I do remember it was a tox I was being toxic.

SPEAKER_03 10:55

You were being toxic.

SPEAKER_00 10:56

Because I was like there was a situation happening at work with me and another person, yeah, and that person had said something like trying to throw shade at like who I was with.

SPEAKER_03 11:11

Yeah, I remember that.

SPEAKER_00 11:12

And then I went up to you and I was like, You're telling me that this is this is bad, yeah. Like, and I showed you a picture of who I was with. Yeah, do you remember that? I remember that. I think that was the first time I felt like like cool, cool with you. Like I felt cool and like like comfortable enough to be like, man. But like prior to that, it was more like this guy's kind of cool.

SPEAKER_03 11:34

Yeah, I remember I'll tell you why the reason I I remember first uh kind of like uh I don't know how you say greeting you say greeting, yeah. Introducing myself to you, yeah. But the reason why I'll tell you why the reason. Um my dad had told me that even because I think you're fairly new, and he was telling me, he's like, Oh man, like this person's pretty cool. Not really, nobody's really talking to her, I guess, or something. Really? I saw and then he's like, Yeah, I kind of feel kind of bad for it. She's like a cool person, and that's why I went up to you.

SPEAKER_00 12:16

Damn, pity. Yo, funny shit though, it it wasn't even like that, it was because I was working in assembly, yeah, and it was nothing but fucking Mexicans, it's all Latinos on that. And at that time, yeah, it was all Latinos in that room, yeah. And all they did was talk Spanish all day long and had their little inside jokes. So I stood quiet. I said to myself, but like when I would talk to people, I didn't care. They I mean, some of my at the time, some of my coolest buddies at work were like fucking 30, 40 years older than me. So I think that's actually hilarious.

SPEAKER_03 12:51

Yeah, that's why I remember. I remember that.

SPEAKER_00 12:53

But your dad was like the class clown in that room, like everyone loved him, and he was just like, you know, Mr. Party Guy. Mr.

SPEAKER_03 13:01

Party Guy, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:02

I remember one time when he came to work. I know we're not supposed to be doing this, we just got yelled at.

SPEAKER_03 13:07

That's fine. This is old. This is like this is back when we used to work.

SPEAKER_00 13:11

We we don't even work there anymore. Yeah, technically.

SPEAKER_03 13:13

Yeah, we don't even work there anymore.

SPEAKER_00 13:14

Yeah, but uh he had came in and he had gotten his hair dyed.

SPEAKER_03 13:18

Oh, I remember that.

SPEAKER_00 13:19

Yo, the amount of people that were fucking roasting him, dude. And he sat there and took it like a freaking champ, bro.

SPEAKER_04 13:29

You know what he did, you know what he did.

SPEAKER_00 13:32

That was so funny. I don't know why he did that. I guess he said, Oh, my daughter was just all like uh she wanted to do this.

SPEAKER_03 13:42

Actually, I don't I don't I really don't remember why he could be maybe telling the truth. That was funny. It's just weird for him to do something like that.

SPEAKER_00 13:50

It's so funny though. I can tell, like I can tell like when like your dad just off his walk, he's got this like cool man, like yeah, like he's got like his walk is like big dick energy.

SPEAKER_03 14:05

Yeah, it is my my dad, my old maid. Yeah, yeah, I remember. I remember you were working on the danger.

SPEAKER_00 14:12

Damn your dad was like, hey, there's this loser-ass girl that she don't got no fucking friends. What the fuck is that? She's Puerto Rican and Guatemalan. You guys got something in common.

SPEAKER_03 14:25

I I think he said that. Did you tell them that? I remember that too.

SPEAKER_00 14:28

Well, because he had said he was Guatemalan.

SPEAKER_03 14:30

Because I think that's how I I said what's up to you. I was like, hey, my Puerto Rican and Guatemala. Do you remember that or not? I do. Oh, so yeah, see? That's how the friendship blossomed. Yeah, there you go. And then yeah, it started off with you being pretty not you being toxic, but it was the other person.

SPEAKER_00 14:44

They were trying to throw shade on me.

SPEAKER_03 14:46

Yeah, because I remember it was randomly too. Like, she sh I don't I don't remember the exact words, but I would just make it up, right? But say, say no, but I don't I don't remember the exact words, but she just randomly, right? I'm just walking, she's like, Can you believe uh something something is with this bitch? And then she showed me a picture and she's like, She's fucking ugly, right? And I was like, I mean, she's not ugly, it's like there's something wrong with her, and then she just got mad and walked away. And then that's I later on I you know figured that's who you're with or whatever. And I was like, Oh, that's when I told you. I think I don't know if I told you around the same time or later on.

SPEAKER_00 15:24

I think it was like literally the same day. Oh, is it the same day? Yeah, you're fucking you're a little girl, gossiping. I am a gossiping girl. Yeah, so you look toxic from day one, bro. Yeah, from day one. I was like, you know what? I like this guy. He's got a spark in him. We throw some gasoline on it. Yeah, see? Oh, that's funny, dude. Yeah, and then well, that it was that too. And then I heard that you were you did jumps from different department to department, and I was like, ah, department home.

SPEAKER_03 16:26

Uh probably, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:27

And I was like, I was trying to get into that area, so yeah. Uh I think it I think it was actually your dad who was like, Yeah, you should talk to my son. You know, he's talking. I was like, okay.

SPEAKER_03 18:12

Wow, but yeah, so uh back to your toxicity. So um goes back a long way, huh?

SPEAKER_00 18:20

It goes back, I'm talking about it goes back to childhood. I don't know if it's if it's toxic or just twisted. Certain things I found fun, yeah, right? Like kind of being a bully. I thought that was fun. I know, but like I bullied out of love. It wasn't like, oh, I'm gonna pick on someone who's clearly being bullied. Oh, I I would like bully my own friends, yeah. Like we bully each other, we say comment you're a liar. Anyways, and I think that just came from like my family. Like my my my sister would bully me, my mom would bully us, like, but it's not like uh it's not like we're coming outstairs like hey, fat fuck. Like, not that kind of I mean it is now with me and my sister, but um, and it's so we're so quick-witted, dude. It's not even funny.

SPEAKER_03 19:15

Like, kind of, yeah, I would say well, me, because I don't have brothers, right? I had sisters, but I was close to my older sister, but we would kind of bully my little sister in the same way, probably more certainly bullied. But then with me and my like cousins, my two cousins that are real close with, it was the same thing. I was like, So, like you said, it might be considered bullying with like friends that's cool, but it wasn't like trying to be mean, it's just yeah for you, it's just say I'm yeah, but then I and then I well then I borderline pushed it to being like, What the fuck were you thinking?

SPEAKER_00 19:43

Because like I remember one time, just like I told this girl I was like standing at the top of the stairs, she was on all the way like down by the sidewalk, and I took a rock and I was just all like, Hey, stand right there, I want to see if I can hit you in it. But she stood there and I whipped this rock at her head and like it cut her the top of the head. Bro, and this is back when like my mom worked at the school that I was at.

unknown 20:06

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00 20:06

When I tell you, my mom took me to the back of that auditorium and beat my ass, bro. That's fucked up. Because they were like, they she was like put like hoping that they didn't press charges on me. I felt so bad, bro. It's kind of funny. It's kind of bogus. That's what I'm saying. Like, yo, you're fucking dick.

SPEAKER_03 20:26

I did a similar thing at this guy, and a similar story, but I it was an apple. And I um I forgot what we're doing, but I think he told me that couldn't throw a hard out there. Oh, really? I was like, stand right there. Yeah, he has such a big bruise on his arm. I hit it right on his arm. The time it was funny. It's something that funny.

SPEAKER_00 20:48

That's funny. That's a little funnier. It is. I'm I right now. I'm um like I don't know if it's so that what you just said made me think of like I've had situations where I've unfortunately hurt someone, but like I just feel like it almost always happens to me where like I I'm playing around, but I guess maybe I'm just playing too rough. Like one time we were playing with snowballs and shit, and I grabbed one off the ground without realizing there was something inside the snow. So it was either a rock or a piece of ice or something, and like when I whipped it, I whipped it straight at someone's face. And boom, bloody nose. Like shit like that. Or if I go to scare someone, like I'll accidentally hit him in the face, and like my all that shit's coming back to me though, because my freaking nieces, they will find any fucking moment to scare the shit out of me.

SPEAKER_03 21:43

You do scare easily though. I feel like you scare easily. I don't scare easily. I would say jump. I just scare you today.

SPEAKER_00 21:53

Bro, I'm coming up the stairs in your freaking hallway, and all of a sudden I see I'm like, I see your door open, but. Then I feel I could feel somebody was standing behind me. When I turn around, it's this big old man, like it's you, brothers.

SPEAKER_03 22:10

I was there because I heard it was breathing quiet trying to control the breathing. That's fucked up. Sometimes I breathe. Do you think I breathe hard? I don't think I've ever heard you breathe. Yeah, so my wife says I breathe hard. I don't think I do. And sometimes I try to control it because I think I do. I feel like I'm starting to run out of breath, right? So I'm like trying to control like when it's silent, I'm like, man, I don't want to be like just like what's wrong with this fucking guy. I don't think I'm a hard breather, but so pull. I don't know. She's actually here to make breathing.

SPEAKER_00 22:48

I know I know I've been breathing heavy as fuck lately. I don't hear you breathe breathing hard. But it's because I'm super congested as of lately.

SPEAKER_03 22:55

Yeah. Like I go, like I walk up the flight of stairs and I'm like, imagine fucking doing this every day, bro.

SPEAKER_00 23:02

No, I mean, like at work, I mean, I was going, I I was from the beginning of the year, we're like, oh, we're only gonna take the stairs, blah blah blah. So I'm like constantly taking the stairs, but like as of lately, since I've been sick, dude, it's like I can't even catch my breath by the time I'm up them stairs. I'm like, I need my asthma pump. Yeah, I'm still that's yeah, even though it's two flights, it's like I run up there now.

SPEAKER_03 23:27

I know you do. I like running up there. I feel like I got better up there going up there. I don't run out of breath too much anymore.

SPEAKER_00 23:34

The stairs that don't really like get me like that are surprisingly the ones from like the engineering area up to the like mezzanine.

SPEAKER_03 23:43

Yeah. That's so funny. Maybe it's a short desk. I don't know why. My am I sucking?

SPEAKER_00 23:48

I think because the stairs are maybe bigger. Like the other ones are a little more like narrow.

SPEAKER_03 23:54

I know I hate the stairs aren't coming in because they're so funny.

SPEAKER_00 23:57

They're so long and far. Do you remember when that lady hit her face, and then that's why they put the yellow tape, the yellow paint?

SPEAKER_03 24:06

Uh probably.

SPEAKER_00 24:07

Bro, that was so bogus.

SPEAKER_03 24:09

But they're so like you can't get it into a rhythm. You know?

SPEAKER_00 24:12

Yeah, I know. Like, I tried to like do like oh only my right foot is gonna go up the stairs, but it's like, no, like, no, you have to do your left foot now.

SPEAKER_03 24:19

You can't get into a rhythm with that, man. I thought it was just me because I had little legs. No, I can't. Maybe I did too. I walk slow. So you don't walk slow. Yeah. See, so my wife, the only person I can keep up with walking is the end. Yeah, no, you can't.

SPEAKER_04 24:32

Everybody passes fast.

SPEAKER_03 24:34

No one walks fast. She fucking walks fast. She's like fucking running for a marathon. She walks fast.

SPEAKER_00 24:39

I swear to god, the shortest fucking people walk fast as shit. Maybe it's that. I think it's because they've been always trying to catch up with somebody that they're like, I'm like fucking like fucking relax, fucking sweetie Gonzalez. God damn. I'm like, I'm like, oh, like with my uh X. But like she walks really fucking fast, dude. Oh my god. Right, isn't that annoying? It's so annoying. I'm like, bitch, I thought we're going for a stroll, not a jog. I'm like, I'm not a fucking fucking single?

SPEAKER_03 25:19

Get out of there. She like leaves the kids and everything behind. Like sometimes I lose her because she's little. Like sometimes it's fucking losing the crowd. I tell my kids we'll find her.

SPEAKER_00 25:28

No, fuck that. That's why, like, if if I'm going on a walk with like the family and stuff, I'll take the little one with me because I'm like, no, I gotta stay back here.

SPEAKER_04 25:35

And they catch up, man. That's a smart one.

SPEAKER_00 25:37

That's a smart one.

SPEAKER_03 25:38

Yeah. I think my Noah's pretty a slow walker. I think we're all slow walkers, so for my wife, and she's the littlest one.

SPEAKER_00 25:45

I'm a stroller, bro. I don't stroll.

SPEAKER_03 25:47

I just be chilling. Like, I'm a stroller.

SPEAKER_04 25:49

What's the freaking rush?

SPEAKER_03 25:51

For real. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_04 25:52

Like, why the fuck are you walking so fast? Like, relax.

SPEAKER_03 25:56

I'm like, when I think when she disappears, that's the thing with my ass.

SPEAKER_04 26:02

She's gone.

SPEAKER_03 26:03

She's gone. Yeah, man. Yeah. That'd be that's that's uh what's that peppy? Is that what you call her? Yeah, I guess you could say it's a little peppy, man. I'm like, dude, damn.

SPEAKER_00 26:12

Oh, and I hate I hate, I hate when I'm like at work or something, and I'm like walking, and I could feel someone fucking catching right the fuck on my ass. Oh, like today. And it it just so happened I was moving this big ass, heavy ass cart, and I already walked slow. Yeah, so now I'm walking extra slow because the thing's heavy. And then like somebody walks by me, is like, hey, the day's almost over for you. Like, and I'm thinking, like, oh, you think I'm tired? Yeah, but I didn't say anything. I was like, Yeah, why should shit like that?

SPEAKER_03 26:47

People always say the corniest things, man. I always hear the uh the um like when it's Monday, right? Some people say, Hey, what's up, man? I'm like, hey, what's up? Monday, right? Like, yeah, it's Monday.

SPEAKER_00 27:03

Oh, my favorite one is all like, yeah. Or the other one is all like, hey, how was your weekend? Too short. You're right. It was only two days. What I mean, that's like it's fair though.

SPEAKER_03 27:17

I feel right for Monday, and then the Wednesday, it's like, hey, almost Friday.

SPEAKER_00 27:22

Hey, pump day.

SPEAKER_03 27:26

Thursday, one more day.

SPEAKER_00 27:28

Friday Junior, brother.

SPEAKER_03 27:30

Friday junior. I love that. Some people won't crack off at that.

SPEAKER_00 27:33

I'm gonna use that one. That's like my go-to. Friday junior. Friday junior. Oh, that's a good one. And then you call off on Friday. Yeah, like gotcha.

SPEAKER_02 27:44

Oh, the cliche talks. Those are so funny.

SPEAKER_04 27:47

Yeah, office cliche. Yeah, that's funny.

SPEAKER_03 27:50

What's the Tuesday one? Nobody ever says anything on Tuesdays, right? Yeah, right. Nobody says anything on Tuesday.

SPEAKER_00 27:58

Uh, they were like, what's one that I heard? And it was like, hey, what's worse than than the Monday blues? And they're like, Tuesday.

SPEAKER_04 28:06

Oh no. And I was like, bro, you're reaching.

SPEAKER_03 28:11

I don't know about that one. It's not a good one. No, it's not. There's nothing, there's really nothing for Tuesday. No, right? Because it's not the middle of the week, it's right after Monday.

SPEAKER_00 28:22

Tuesday's a good if you could if you could get one day off from work, like Monday, my mine will be Wednesday.

SPEAKER_03 28:28

Wednesday? Yeah, why because it breaks up the week.

SPEAKER_00 28:32

Two weeks, you get two days and then two days, and then you're back to the weekend.

SPEAKER_03 28:36

I feel like Monday is perfect. No, like 40. I mean uh 10 hour four 10 hour days in a row.

SPEAKER_00 28:42

Right. I don't want to do them in a row. I'll do my 10 hour days, but give me a Wednesday off. What? Just to break just randomly, yes. Why?

SPEAKER_03 28:52

It just doesn't make sense.

SPEAKER_00 28:53

I I personally would love that.

SPEAKER_03 28:55

That's crazy. I never heard that before.

SPEAKER_00 28:57

If I said a Friday, Monday, because everybody's gonna want to find your money off on a Wednesday, not the entire all of Chicago's not even off. I could go do my groceries without fucking getting bothered or bombarded by people.

SPEAKER_01 29:09

That's true.

SPEAKER_00 29:10

Traffic is empty, there's no cars outside, like it's perfect.

SPEAKER_03 29:14

You know what I feel like for traffic? I feel like for some reason, like Thursdays are super busy. It's not even a weekend yet. Don't you feel that way? What's the right? Like um, I feel like Mondays are pretty chill, like there's not a lot of traffic on Mondays.

SPEAKER_00 29:29

Yeah, I feel like middle of the week there's always a lot of traffic, like Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Yeah, there's usually a bunch of traffic. Why? It's so weird, eh? People probably called off Monday and Friday to try to get their weekend started. That's true, or extended.

SPEAKER_03 29:43

That makes sense. Oh that's a weird one. I never heard that one Wednesday.

SPEAKER_00 29:48

I would fuck yeah, dude. Think about it. You wouldn't you wouldn't break it off.

SPEAKER_03 29:52

I mean, the way you're talking about it makes kind of sense because you have like everybody had Saturday.

SPEAKER_00 29:58

I didn't say everybody said me. Like if I could choose to have the day off.

SPEAKER_03 30:07

Put the game buck in here. Back tower, front alright. Um I I'm right across from you.

SPEAKER_00 30:20

Huh? You said where was I? I was right here across from you. Topic-wise. No, I'm just saying, like, hell yeah, Wednesday would be perfect. You make a good case. Still weird. I wouldn't want to do that. Oh, you're a Monday, Monday, Friday kind of guy.

SPEAKER_03 30:35

Yeah, just um, I like the structure. Fridah, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Perfect.

SPEAKER_00 30:41

I'm gonna say all of my all of my days off in the summer are gonna be Wednesdays.

SPEAKER_03 30:45

Wednesdays?

SPEAKER_00 30:46

Watch, you're gonna see like from June, the end of June to like the end of August. I'm just gonna take every Wednesday off. Every fucking Wednesday. God damn. You know, I I knew this guy who would wait to save all his uh PTO for the summers only, and he would literally schedule his time off off of Mondays and Fridays off. That's not bad for the summer.

SPEAKER_03 31:12

If you don't like you're not gonna take like a vacation, like why not?

SPEAKER_00 31:14

Well, because then he would then he would go on like weekend trips with his family. Because, like, you know, your kids are off from school, so yeah, then you would get he would have extended weekends in the summer. Very strategic, super smart, serial killer vibes. Oh lord, you know what?

SPEAKER_03 31:30

He was the Gemini, so it's Ed and I'm my birthday's coming up too, man. July 7th. That's what I saw on the calendar last.

SPEAKER_00 31:41

That's another Diana. Shout out, Diana. Shout out, Diana. Your birthday is July 7th, Bookie. It's on my calendar.

SPEAKER_03 31:50

Yeah, it's funny. You got your own name on your calendar.

SPEAKER_03 31:53

Uh, you two have it on June 8th.

SPEAKER_00 31:55

Yeah, but I don't have Diana's birthday on June 8th. Yes, you do. No, I said my birthday.

SPEAKER_03 32:08

It says the last name on there. I'm like, okay, she worries.

SPEAKER_00 32:16

She has like symptoms of uh it's like it's like all highlighted and like colorful. It's the only thing in color. June 8th. Yes, sir. 40 yet. Don't disrespect me.

SPEAKER_03 32:31

Are you 40? I'm dangerously close to 40. Yeah, you are. That's scary. I feel like my life's over.

SPEAKER_00 32:37

Listen, I'm about to be what is that?

SPEAKER_03 32:42

40.

SPEAKER_00 32:43

No, no longer in my mid-30s. Like, I'll be in my late 30s.

SPEAKER_03 32:49

Yeah. Oh damn. Yeah, it gets rough, man.

SPEAKER_00 32:52

Does it? Yeah, it gets rough. I know. You start you start really analyzing your life and and you know what you have to lose.

SPEAKER_03 33:00

Midlife crisis.

SPEAKER_00 33:01

What you what you have to lose, you know.

SPEAKER_03 33:03

It's a midlife crisis.

SPEAKER_00 33:04

It's not a mid a midlife crisis, it's literally like making erratical fucking decisions. No. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 33:13

No, it's not.

SPEAKER_00 33:14

What that's the only time I've ever heard people compare use that term midlife crisis. No, I've heard midlife crisis when people feel like they're like running out of time or they like and then they make this like stupid purchase or big dumbass decision.

SPEAKER_03 33:27

Or same thing, it's a different buckets of a midlife crisis.

SPEAKER_00 33:33

Can you remember your parents going through a midlife crisis?

SPEAKER_04 33:37

I think there's the don't do that.

SPEAKER_00 33:43

I'm trying to think, like, like, can I remember my parents in their 30s and 40s? Yes, of course. But like, do I do I remember them going through a midlife crisis? I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 33:56

I mean, I'm pretty sure they did.

SPEAKER_00 33:58

Like, how they hit it really fucking well.

SPEAKER_03 34:00

Yeah. I don't remember. I feel like it's a weird thing about your parents because you always feel like they're always the same age. I think I gotta remember their when they were this age, what were they doing? You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 34:12

I remember my mom in her 30s. I only remember my mom in her 30s because as a kid, all she ever says was she was like, Oh, she's 33. She's 34, she's 35. So my mom was like 34, 36 for like 10 years for a really long time. Because like that was that was one of the only ages I can remember her being.

SPEAKER_03 34:32

Oh yeah, I don't remember my I don't remember what they were up to basically, like you're saying, like kind of midlife crisis or yeah, no, what I don't like.

SPEAKER_00 34:40

The most I remember, I remember my dad working like three jobs at one point.

unknown 34:44

Damn.

SPEAKER_00 34:45

Yeah, and it's crazy because that's the shit people gotta do now. Yeah, unless you're trying to like chase a corporate ladder, but like even then, like most people have a side hustle, most people are working a second job because it's hard.

SPEAKER_03 34:57

Yeah, nowadays them down gas prices.

SPEAKER_00 35:00

And if you think about it, if it was hard for y'all back then and fucking house is worth $32, like the fuck?

SPEAKER_03 35:07

There's nothing old. $32.

SPEAKER_00 35:12

Yeah, they're pretty old. Pretty old. Being extra.

SPEAKER_03 35:15

Miss the 90s, man. Yeah, I missed the 90s. I always say I missed the 90s, but I was pretty much what like 98, I was eight. So I mean, we need to do shit in the 90s. I mean more of a 2000s.

SPEAKER_00 35:27

I'm a 2000s kid for sure.

SPEAKER_03 35:30

But I remember a lot of 90s. You were 91, right?

SPEAKER_00 35:33

90.

SPEAKER_03 35:34

90. Uh, it's pretty pretty. I was literally born in 90. Okay, that makes sense. I don't know why. Yeah, I remember as a kid too. I don't know if you it's just a random, random thing that popped in my head. I remember my parents always telling me not to leave the light out of the car.

SPEAKER_04 35:55

Oh, yeah, freaking liars. I believed that all way, well to my adulthood. Same, dude.

SPEAKER_00 36:01

Same. Like, even even like when I had my my kid, I'd be like, uh oh no, don't turn the light on because the cops will pull us over.

SPEAKER_03 36:09

I still do it, I still paranoid. Like, I still feel like it'll happen.

SPEAKER_00 36:12

If you get pulled over at night, are you turning on the light in your car?

SPEAKER_03 36:15

Yeah, no.

unknown 36:16

No.

SPEAKER_03 36:16

Oh, am I turning on the light?

SPEAKER_00 36:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 36:18

Yeah, I guess if it's dark. Would you? Yeah. Why? You couldn't turn on the light.

SPEAKER_00 36:24

I don't know. I think I think it depends, right? Like, do you get nervous if a cop pulls you over?

SPEAKER_03 36:29

Um, I haven't been pulled over a ton. The times I have, not really.

SPEAKER_00 36:34

No. The last time I got pulled over, I low-key was irritated as shit.

SPEAKER_03 36:39

Why?

SPEAKER_00 36:40

Because he was like, first of all, the dude was smiling at me. He pulled me. I already knew I was getting pulled over. Okay. Notorious for what?

SPEAKER_04 36:51

Mysticker, brother. Oh.

SPEAKER_00 36:54

Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 36:57

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_00 36:59

I get pulled over. Fine. And then he comes up to my window and he's just smiling at me. First of all, I was like, man, this dude looks familiar. But why the fuck are you smiling at me? So happy. You so happy? You're about to give me a fucking ticket. Irritated me. But it was like it wasn't clicking in my head. Like I knew him, but it didn't click the very first time I saw him. And then I was, he was all like, uh, can I get your he's like, you got an ID and registration? And I was like, yeah, but why am I getting pulled over? He was like, I'll tell you once you identify yourself. The fuck? Oh, that irritated me. So I like I didn't want to be a dick because I already knew why I was being pulled over. So, but I was just like, uh, you're funny. Yeah. So I like took my thing out and I gave him my ID. And he was smiling the entire fucking time. So then he like goes back to his thing and I'm sitting there like, man, why is this guy smiling so hard? Like fucking douchebag. Then he came back and he's smiling at me, like, look, but it was a look like, like, damn, you don't fucking remember me. And I'm like looking at the dude, and he's all like, uh he's like, Yeah, I pulled you over because this. And I was like, I know, bro. Like, I was like, I know I fucked up. Like, I've been meaning to get it done, blah, blah, blah. And he's all like, Well, I'm just gonna let you off with a warning. And he's smiling the whole time. And then as soon as I like took off, it clicked in my head, bro. This used to be my one of my co one of my son's old coaches in football.

SPEAKER_03 38:22

Uh was that the time we got pulled over together? No. Because isn't that a similar story?

SPEAKER_00 38:27

No, we didn't know that guy.

SPEAKER_03 38:29

Yeah, he said he knew that cop.

SPEAKER_00 38:31

Did I?

SPEAKER_03 38:33

Okay, this is what I remember. I think this is the same story, bro.

SPEAKER_00 38:36

No, it's not. This literally just happened to me like last week. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 38:39

Okay, do you remember what I'm talking about?

SPEAKER_00 38:41

Yeah, when we got pulled over, where where were we going to the game? No, we were coming back from the white side.

SPEAKER_03 38:45

Yeah, yeah. And then did I know that cop? You said you got pulled over because I was sitting in the fucking passenger fucking fro out, and you're like, oh yeah. I wonder why we could pulled over. But I remember the cop that was on your side, you you were telling me you knew him or something like that.

SPEAKER_00 39:03

It's possible, bro.

SPEAKER_03 39:04

Fucking shit, you didn't have a fucking sticker. Fuck off.

SPEAKER_00 39:09

Listen, it gets done. It gets done.

SPEAKER_03 39:14

They did good. Oh yeah, so good. Didn't make a noise. Those cops are idiots, man. So dumb.

SPEAKER_00 39:22

Right. We're over here like smuggling kids in a bag. Like they don't fucking fucking breeze back there.

SPEAKER_04 39:28

They're like, okay.

SPEAKER_00 39:29

I'm like, do you want us to get locked up?

SPEAKER_04 39:34

So funky. They did fucking great. They did great.

SPEAKER_03 39:38

I remember you got away with that too. I don't think they gave you anything. No, they didn't. They gave me a warning. But yeah, you were saying you knew the dude. Maybe. I don't know. I don't know if you said it was a cop. I don't remember the cop. I don't know if it's uh uh like somebody you went to school with, but you were saying you you kind of knew this person, not like you're super cool.

SPEAKER_00 39:55

Maybe, maybe. I all I know is this guy fucking knew me. Like he remembered me for the moment he saw my face, and he was smiling so hard, and then they finally clicked, but it would he was different now. Like his hair was bigger, you could tell, like he had like you know, his hair grew up, and I couldn't tell, bro. Like, when you see someone in a uniform right away, you're just like, ugh, right? Like, don't fucking talk to me. That's all I was my guard was up, and I know he could he could sense I was kind of being a little bitch, yeah. But then when I saw he kept smiling, I was like, hmm, why do I why what do you know me from, buddy?

SPEAKER_03 40:29

Oh that's funny. Similar stories happened to you a few times, you know. I guess I know a lot of cops.

SPEAKER_00 40:39

Hopefully, they're not listening. I love the police. That's the blue, yeah. No, he was Norge.

SPEAKER_03 40:50

This was fucking Norge. This isn't the devil's Norge. It's Norge over there, sister.

SPEAKER_00 40:56

It's not the same cop. I I promise you it's not the same cop. The story is so simple. There's it's not it can't be the same cop, dude.

SPEAKER_03 41:03

No, it's a white dude.

SPEAKER_00 41:05

No, it's a black guy.

SPEAKER_03 41:06

Okay, yeah, this is why exactly. I remember it was why too. White dude. Yeah, you remember you were saying you thought I don't know if he because I thought I remember you saying you don't know what you mean.

SPEAKER_00 41:18

Oh, but he was like an older white daddy.

SPEAKER_03 41:19

I don't think he was that old.

SPEAKER_00 41:20

Was he a fuck, dude?

SPEAKER_03 41:22

It might have been if older, maybe like a few years or something, but he might have been around the same age. Because I remember you saying that you didn't think he remembered you or something like that.

SPEAKER_00 41:31

It's possible. It's possible. I do know quite a few cops, especially in the area. It is what it is. I mean, whatever.

SPEAKER_01 41:42

Whatever.

SPEAKER_00 41:42

It's cool. Yeah. So I think I had a love hate relationship with my car, apparently.

SPEAKER_02 41:48

Yeah, because you don't fucking put stickers on it.

SPEAKER_00 41:50

Listen, I've been up to date for a long time, but this past this this passage has got the best of me.

SPEAKER_03 41:56

You got you got stickers on it right now?

SPEAKER_00 41:58

SPEAKER_00 42:04

I don't live in the city.

SPEAKER_03 42:05

Uh yeah, you know, I haven't bought a city sticker in three years. Nothing's happened. Nothing. Nothing. And then I was gonna buy one because I was like, you know what? I should get one. Now I have to like go show my uh my pace or uh when you buy the car or something, whatever that's called. Build a sale. What? Yeah, and I'm like, you know what? Fine. I'll fuck that. What's the point?

SPEAKER_00 42:29

Yeah, you're seeing now you're making me do fucking homework and I gotta do all I gotta go to this place and uh fucking.

SPEAKER_03 42:35

SPEAKER_00 43:22

No, but like my car's registered. Okay, originally the car wasn't registered to Chicago. Um lucky like it's it's registered in Illinois, but not to the city of Chicago. Um because it was based off of like my sister's address and stuff.

SPEAKER_03 45:22

Like, I mean, how I don't feel like you can't do that. How do you do that? I don't know, man. But also what the bears are doing is kind of fucked up too. Like, they want these big tag breaks, tag breaks now. Tag break. It's like I want a tag break. You want a tech break? Give me tech break.

SPEAKER_00 45:40
