Transcript

SPEAKER_06 0:15

All right, ladies and gentlemen, we are back with another episode of the Slack Doctors. I am Dr. Chip. I am Dr. Bob. And uh first thing we should talk about, apparently, uh that we were talking about before we got the cameras rolling, is uh Dr. Bob really wants to get us a sponsorship from his weed soda, so take it away. Oh, yeah, yeah. Take it away, Dr.

SPEAKER_07 0:36

What we're drinking today. Yeah, we're drinking today is the uh cornbread, blueberry breeze, 10 milligram THC grown in Kentucky. Um, and I believe this is um owned by the uh our company is owned or sponsored by Seth Rogan, which is probably a pretty good endorsement right off the bat. Yeah, he's amazing. The thing that I like, the thing I like best about it um is the list of ingredients is actually pretty solid. Water, cane, sugar, monk fruit extract for sweetener, citric acid, natural blueberry flavor, hemp extract. What was that for?

SPEAKER_06 1:08

That's a pretty short monk fruit? Monk fruit?

SPEAKER_07 1:12

Monk fruit, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 1:13

What the fuck's that?

SPEAKER_07 1:17

Wondering how much longer it's even going to be available because uh the reason that product exists is because of the I think it was 2018, there was a federal farm bill that was passed which opened up a loophole for for people to grow low-grade marijuana or hemp, and then they could take that and then sit you know to get extract from it and thereby make that's why you see all these products being sold in, you know. I bought these a total wine, but you see it in gas stations and stuff, even in states where you know there's no legal uh cannabis whatsoever. But I think that loophole is getting shut down. Yeah, I think you're right. I heard something about that.

SPEAKER_06 1:53

So I'd be curious to see how that works. Kentucky, isn't that where they grow a lot of things? I think so.

SPEAKER_07 2:01

Yeah. Well, uh this product itself is says uh grown in Kentucky. Yep, there you go. Right at the very bottom of the can. There you go. Good old Thomas Massey.

SPEAKER_06 2:11

He's the only one the best buzz in Kentucky or something. I don't know. Well, it's funny that uh cornbread seems to be the word of the day because I was literally right before I came today. I was watching a bunch of uh a bunch of videos that explain that Sinners movie that we've talked about on the show before. And apparently one of the one of the main characters in that is this big guy that's like a door guy, and his name is Cornbread. So I've been synchronicity, man. It all ties together. Well, it's interesting.

SPEAKER_07 2:38

And the rolling the rolling papers that I use are uh uh they're made by OCB, but they're called Houseplant. Houseplant is also owned by South Rogan, and there's a uh these cornbread ones are the like the the stronger ones, the 10 milligrams. Um they they have another offshoot of the brand called Houseplant that sells like two milligrams and four milligrams, like smaller, smaller dosage cans. But it's pretty funny how many products in my house are either endorsed or companies outright owned by Seth Rogan. Interesting. Interesting. He's everywhere.

SPEAKER_06 3:12

Right, right. So I should clarify we had one one of our episodes kind of get out of uh out of rotation, and it's the one that actually comes out today, the day we're taping this one. And I watched a lot of it on the way here, and we did cover a lot of stuff over and over and over again. But at risk of that, um I I did want to just mention well, what was it I wanted to mention? I've almost forgotten.

SPEAKER_07 3:34

I literally heard you tell Carlo earlier uh before we started. Remind me to tell this on air.

SPEAKER_08 3:40

The Best Buy Story.

SPEAKER_06 3:41

What's that about?

SPEAKER_08 3:42

Best Buy.

SPEAKER_06 3:43

Oh, yeah, the Best Buy Story. Yeah, but no, this is about Facebook, as a matter of fact, about the fact that I'm off Facebook. And and we got the uh, you know, I got that email with the unsolicited authorization thing. So the other day, just for kicks, I hit, you know, it says to get back on Facebook, click here. And I hit hit hit there, and it field came up, said enter your authorization. I immediately got a text on my phone that gave me a new authorization code to put in there, which I didn't bother. I'm like, ah, screw it's Facebook, I'm not gonna bother. Maybe I'll do it later. All right. So I didn't do it. Went back the next day going, all right, maybe I will go get back on Facebook, see what happens. Click on the same exact button, and now it goes back to the upload your ID again. So I guess I had a window I could have got back on Facebook.

SPEAKER_07 4:32

Can somebody maybe, or maybe after you enter that code, then it would have just taken you to the upload your I know, but had you have, it may have then just taken you to the page. Go back to upload your ID. It could have.

SPEAKER_06 4:43

That would have been that would have been really annoying if they'd have got me on that one. I'd have been pissed, but yeah. All right, but anyway, the Best Buy story is is really kind of funny too, because I uh I figured out uh, you know, uh as we experimented on Zoom, I had to go buy this cord to make my mic work on my laptop. So I'm in Best Buy and I'm looking for this because it takes a little teeny mine m uh mini what's it called again?

SPEAKER_08 5:09

Micro USB, is that it?

SPEAKER_06 5:10

Micro USB connector on one end, which is teeny. It's like you look at it, it's like what the hell is in there even? So whatever. So I'm at Best Buy, I'm in front of all the you know, all the selections of the little adapter cables, and I can't tell which one is which, so I'm I literally I've got about three of them that I've opened already. And they seem to work, but then the wrong, the other side's the wrong, not like an HMD or something else. So literally, after opening about three of them, I see a guy walking towards me that works there. So in my, you know, in my actually, I actually I found one that I think I was like, I think this is it, but I'm not sure. So I put that one aside and opened about two more. So I've got about four or five open packages of these things laying around. And this guy I love that. I know this guy that works there starts walking towards me. So I immediately just talk start walking towards him, and he clearly sees what's going on. But but I go, I'm going, hey man, I'm looking for this thing. Uh do you know, can you tell me? And he goes, Oh, we don't have that. You got to get that from Amazon. So I went, so I'm like, oh, okay. So I kind of went like I was gonna just go the other way, and he went the other way, and I circled back and got the one that I picked out that I thought was the right one that we actually experimented and found out it is, in fact, the exact thing I needed. But he's telling me they don't have it. I'm like, yes, you do.

SPEAKER_07 6:29

I love when businesses just instead of not only not help you or make any attempt to make the sale, but literally tell you, no, go somewhere else, go away. We don't, you know, no business here. But I mean I deserved it though, I must say.

SPEAKER_06 6:40

I was sitting there opening all their shit. And it's funny too, the very first one I opened was already repackaged from somebody else opening it in the first place anyway. And that's what kind of gave me the green light. I'm like, screw it, I'm opening all these till I find exactly what I want. Anyway.

SPEAKER_07 6:54

So I lived in this apartment once down there, and uh for whatever reason I needed to either move it out, I think I needed to clean the floors. So I I tried to, it was fake hardwood floors or real, whatever. It wasn't carpet. So I called Stanley Steamer, even though I know they don't, you know, they specialize in carpet, but they still will oftentimes do other surfaces as well. So I give the guy my address, and then he tells me, uh, no, I'm sorry, we can't. I I guess they have a monopoly, uh, like cable companies or something. They have areas and they don't go outside of their area. You have to call the Stanley Steamer that covers that area. Oh, so he gave me the number of of the other store, which is fine. I call them. They don't have at that store, they don't do the hardwood cleaning, they only do carpet, they don't have the machine or blah blah blah, whatever. I'm like, all right, well, so then I can just use the other one. No, they so they literally wouldn't let me use their own, uh not like a different company, but a different Stanley steamer because of corporate rules and zoning and where I was at. So they they they they turned down, they turned down the sale, they turned down the contract. Welcome to America. Sheer idiocy.

SPEAKER_06 8:00

Yeah, welcome to America. Yeah, that's crazy.

SPEAKER_07 8:04

Amazing. That was when I lived on uh Congress in the Graham's apartment on the fourth floor.

SPEAKER_06 8:09

Oh, yeah, yeah, I remember that place.

SPEAKER_07 8:11

Dude, that was a crazy place. Right, very sketchy apartments to live in. I had a couple of people knock on the door looking for people that didn't exist that were, you know, I wasn't opening it.

SPEAKER_06 8:23

I definitely want to do an episode where we just go through and look at all the stuff the apartments for rent and houses for sale and look in their interiors and go, oh my God. It's hilarious.

SPEAKER_07 8:32

Yeah, do a house hunting, house hunting episode.

SPEAKER_06 8:35

It's hilarious. It's hilarious. But anyway, we should probably uh you want to go to the phones real quick? Um, yeah, we can do the phones. I don't think we have that many of them. I know I left a couple, so I know there's a couple on there.

SPEAKER_05 8:46

Okay, Dr. Chip is thinking of running for public office. Nice. Uh it would be a small uh like a city council or something. I'd have to f figure out exactly what I would have to run for, but I would be an absolute one-issue candidate, and it would be concerning the three signs that they have put up around Hypolexo Hypolexo Road. Uh whoever proposed and constructed those signs should be uh prosecuted, put in jail, find their victims to this this crime for sure.

SPEAKER_07 9:22

All right. So for our listeners that have no idea what sign you're talking about, uh I believe you're talking about the the up the upcoming stop signs.

SPEAKER_06 9:34

Yes, yes, absolutely.

SPEAKER_07 9:35

Upcoming light.

SPEAKER_06 9:36

Yes, yeah, absolutely. So if anybody in the uh Lantana Hypolexo area that wants to back me as a candidate, give us a call, 904-549-9024, and you can pledge your uh your amounts there, and we'll get a you know, we'll get a campaign going. It's the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my life. I mean, it's just like somebody has to be held accountable. Somebody has to have sat there and said, This is a good idea. I think we should spend X amount of money on this idea because I think it's really a good idea. And it's clearly the stupidest shit I've ever seen in my life. Somebody needs to be held accountable.

SPEAKER_07 10:13

Well, I know that you're a big fan, a proponent rather, of only enforcing crimes that have victims. So I'm assuming the sheer rage and frustration is what makes every single person that sees these signs a victim or the money wasted.

SPEAKER_06 10:27

It makes it less safe. There's no way that telling me that you're putting up a sign with a flashing light right in on the side of the road when you're coming up to a light that you can see that you should be looking away from the light that you're supposed to be looking at. That's not safe. That's just that's uh it's stupid. It's an added distraction. Exactly. For absolutely no reason. You can see the fucking light. There's no reason for a sign that says look out for the light when you can see the fucking light. Three different directions it does that. It's insane.

SPEAKER_07 11:04

Uh the last the last message that you left me, and the one before that is the one about glyphosate, which we already talked about.

SPEAKER_06 11:11

Oh, really? I can swear I left an I thought I left another message. I could have been that could have been the only one.

SPEAKER_07 11:17

I mean, it was a passionate, it was passionate for sure. Uh if we had to talk about it, I think we need to um uh bring some pictures in so people get an exact idea of what you're talking about. A nice angle showing the sign and how ridiculously close. Yeah, yeah, the ridiculously close it is to the uh I mean you can't do it with your phone, unfortunately. No, well I could, but it would be just be a shitty picture.

SPEAKER_06 11:44

But uh yeah, that's that is a good idea. I could take a video of it driving by in my Jeep or something, that might be even better. You could actually see how how completely and ridiculously stupid it is.

SPEAKER_07 11:55

Unbelievable. You've been bitching about them, and the last time I was down there, I chuckled when I saw him because I did notice them, obviously. I mean, I would have noticed him anyway.

SPEAKER_06 12:03

Yeah, is that not the have you ever seen anything stupider than that in in graphic instruct?

SPEAKER_07 12:09

Well, I'm sure there is somewhere, but I'm not no, um, but what is just as wasteful. I I can give you a pretty good example, which is that for some reason on the highways of uh I want to say Virginia, yeah. In Virginia, there's a mile marker every tenth of a mile. Yeah, just a completely excessive, unnecessary need. I I don't know, it was in the budget, I guess. Um the only state I've ever driven to. Now, granted, I've only driven on the East Coast, but it's the only state I've ever driven to where I noticed that there was a mile marker every tenth of a mile. Yeah, that's insane.

SPEAKER_06 12:47

I don't know what that's about. And speaking about insane, stupid rules, and and clearly neither one of us give a damn, but I guess there are a bunch of people pissed off at daylight savings time, which is fucking stupid. Just pick a time, you know. That's it's just ridiculous. You know, e if you have to change it by a half hour, whatever, just pick a time and just stick with it. This switching back and forth is just stupid.

SPEAKER_07 13:08

Right. There's a couple of communities that don't adhere to it. That's true. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 13:15

But yeah, I mean, it's uh nowadays it's not even that hard. So uh even though I shared a a video of that guy, this I forget his name now. He's hilarious. He puts out little shorts, d dumb something. Anyway, but he was trying to change the clock in his car with a with the manual and everything. But most things just update themselves and just tell you the right time.

SPEAKER_07 13:32

So it's not that I had to change the one on the microwave. That was the only thing in my house. I don't think I would change it. It doesn't automatically.

SPEAKER_06 13:38

I don't think I would change my microwave if it did, but I don't think it tells the time anyway.

SPEAKER_07 13:42

Wait six months and it'll be fine. Exactly. Exactly.

SPEAKER_06 13:45

All right, what do you think? You want to play some videos?

SPEAKER_07 13:48

Uh that says I think something about Max Headroom.

SPEAKER_06 13:51

Oh, yeah, yeah, that's a pretty interesting one.

SPEAKER_07 13:53

All right, here we go. Product.

SPEAKER_01 13:57

Holy cow! I'm gonna get the product. Eat the product, love the product. Got so much into it. Product, product, product, product, product, product, product, product, product, product, product, product, no good, no good, no good, no good, product, product, product, product, product, product, product, product, product, product, product, product. Holy cow.

SPEAKER_07 14:24

I mean you have to be old enough to be old enough to remember uh Max Headrum too. Right. But if the ending with the holy cow, you have to hope that ad plays in India, right? I mean, or at least is somehow able to be viewed there. Uh giving off strong Zuckerberg vibes of you know, lizard skin suit, alien. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely how humans work. And I've seen a lot of videos of uh ripping him apart on that.

SPEAKER_06 14:48

Yeah, he's just smoothed over Max Hedroom.

SPEAKER_07 14:51

Did you see um the Burger King CEO like did a response video where he takes a big old monster bite of a whopper?

SPEAKER_06 14:58

No.

SPEAKER_07 14:59

Response to what to show that he's not scared to eat the food that they sell.

SPEAKER_06 15:04

Oh, the soil and grain, yeah, yeah, whatever.

SPEAKER_07 15:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 15:08

Yeah, soil and green is fast food. It is.

SPEAKER_07 15:11

Alright, so this next one that you sent me uh is pretty funny. It was something the title, I believe, was something about is karate gay? And it's so funny that you would send that because just yesterday or I I was seeing memes on iFunny about UFC being gay, and it was just still shots of people in full mounts and chokes, and it uh it was it looked a little bit gay.

SPEAKER_06 15:34

Well, the funny thing is before wait, wait, before you play this, hold on. Yeah, I watched it the first time without any sound, and still had the same title. So okay. The sound definitely makes it. Uh but there was the first time I watched it, it was without sound, and I was like, is this guy kicked?

SPEAKER_07 15:51

There's um there is a Adam Sandler comedy album. I can't remember which one it is. It's like from back in the 90s. It might be they're all gonna be called they're all gonna laugh at you. But there's a uh one of the bits on the album is him playing recordings to people on the street and saying, Is it gay sex or is it people working out? And it's just like, oh, pump it, pump it. It's yeah, it's pretty fucking funny. Getting up, get it up, yeah. Yeah, right. All right, so here we go. Uh, is karate gay?

SPEAKER_00 16:25

Okay, bitch. Come on, and shimmy who bitch on the hip strike, come out. May I have this dance? Hello, you're straight. How about now? Pose and yes, double fist and ham and turn. Here comes the hurricane bitch. And Madonna Ly Slavonita. You better walk. Hips, don't lie, Shakira. Stop in the name of love. B for you. Whoa, bitch, kick elbow, shuffle, stand and fall. You better work, honey. Yeah, okay, bitch.

SPEAKER_07 17:14

All right. I don't know if it's going to take that, but we should tell you what it was. It was fabulous, is what it was.

SPEAKER_06 17:22

That is absolutely the perfect description. It was completely fabulous.

SPEAKER_07 17:25

That was that was pretty good. All right, so here's some sneaky funny. Uh I don't know if you know, it seems like entrapment to me, but let's take a look. This is brutal.

SPEAKER_08 17:36

Let's take this out. The cops are hiding in parking lots and hiring people to illegally walk across the street, and whoever passes them, like this guy in blue, whoever passes them gets a ticket. Just like this guy in white. That is illegal. Look at these two. And then whoever passes them, they get pulled over. Look at the cops. Y'all are up. That is crazy.

SPEAKER_07 18:05

That is pretty crazy.

SPEAKER_06 18:06

Don't hate the player. Don't hate the player, motherfuckers. You guys are the ones that go, hey, we want this law and order. Well, there you go. There you get it. Right. You fucking hate it.

SPEAKER_07 18:16

But let me so I would have to ask this, and I I, you know, I didn't look it up or anything, but is there no jaywalking statutes in California?

SPEAKER_06 18:24

I can I can I haven't I don't know this for a fact, but I guarantee you what the law says is that if anybody's in the street walking across the street, you gotta stop. I've seen that law before. I think they had it here for a while.

SPEAKER_04 18:36

Right.

SPEAKER_06 18:36

And and that's what it is. And is all they gotta do is get a couple of fucking steps out in the street. And if you don't stop, if you don't slam on your brakes and cause an accident, you're breaking the law. Even if they're way over on the other side of the street, it's the stupidest fucking yeah.

SPEAKER_07 18:52

Don't even get started with these. Trust me, man. I I live in Gainesville. I've never lived anywhere where in Florida, at least, where pedestrians have more authority. Oh, yeah, that's right. There's whole areas in of here where you can't make a right on red, you can't make, you know, like and and the kids uh completely abuse it, I must say. If you have to drive down, you know, 441 in front of the university, don't even get in the right-hand lane. Like there's just no point. It's constantly stopped, even at green lights. Some poor fool wants to make a right, and there's just kids just constantly filling the street.

SPEAKER_06 19:26

You can tell me about Ohio, but when I go up to Boston, if I if I'm walking around with anybody, they walk right in front of cars and just expect them to stop. And I'm like, you better not come to Florida and do that. A blue hair ain't gonna see your ass and kill you. That's just it's insane. They just walk right in front of cars, and I I watch them do it. I'm like, hey, what are you doing? No, they'll stop. I'm like, you got a lot of fucking faith in these people, and apparently up north, that's the deal.

SPEAKER_07 19:49

But yeah, that's well. I mean, and when I'm in Ohio, it's a pretty small town, so there's not a lot of right, there's none of that. It's not like Boston where it's uh predominantly people on foot. Um, and definitely Charlotte, which I have a lot of experience with, Charlotte will run you over in a in a hot second. They don't give a rat's ass. Good job. Um, there's a speedway, like a NASCAR or something right there, Charlotte Motor Speedway. And the number of people in that town who either think they are NASCAR drivers or have aspirations to there's they sell so many challengers and chargers there. And everybody drives like a lunatic. It's very akin to South Florida, but it's a specific kind of it's the uh what's the what's the car from the from the TV show?

SPEAKER_06 20:32

It's the General Lee. Everybody's got to have the General Lee and you know.

SPEAKER_07 20:35

Yeah, yeah. That's a popular, yeah. That is absolutely Hemi Orange should be part of the flag. That's where that shit was born, boy. All right, anyway. Yep, absolutely. Hazard well, Hazard County was Tennessee, wasn't it? Or Georgia on the show. It's all the same shit. I can't remember. It's all Appalachian. Well, you know, it's content, that's why. It's all Appalachian. All right. So fuck the police.

SPEAKER_06 20:59

We'll file that one under fuck the police, anyway.

SPEAKER_07 21:02

All right. So this one, uh I'm only gonna, it's a still shot, and I'm only gonna share it because you forced me to see it, so I'm gonna force the rest of the world to see it too. Um, behold, in all its glory, Stavi. Happy International Women's Day to all the beautiful queens across the globe. Yeah. With a well strategically placed chair. Is that full screen? Oh, I'm so sorry. Uh, I believe it is. Okay, I think it is, probably. Yeah, yeah. Uh that's a I know you wish it was bigger, but that's unfortunately that's that's what she said. I mean, we could we could try to zoom in and get some more detail there. So that reminds me of uh there's a Bloodhound Gang album. I can't remember the name of it. Hefty Fine. It might be called Hefty Fine. If so, we can Carlo can insert it into the feed later so they can show it here, but it's a gigantic fat guy crammed inside like a glass cube, and he's all mashed uh mashed inside of it. And it's only it's only His fatness that's preventing it from being X-rated. Because the only reason you can't see anything is because it's it's all tucked in, you know. Right, right. No need for duct tape. Just yeah, yeah. No, absolutely. All right, let's move on. Um, let's see. We might be getting close to the end of them. I was gonna say it can only be a couple left. Uh sweet Meteor of Death. Let's let's see what this one is. Oh, wait, I think this was the the AI one. The title of this one was Defeating Voice Recognition.

SPEAKER_03 22:32

I thought that's impossible for a Scottish person, so let's give it a bash, man. If ever mate me you, I guarantee I can date right. Speak to it, one January, January, January, January, January, January, mate. January, January, January. I'm not saying that, mate. December, December, December, December. Mate, that thing's right. January. I'm not saying fucking January. January. January. January. January. January. January. January. January. January. January. January.

SPEAKER_02 23:20

February. February. February. February. February. February. February. February. February. February. March. April. April. April. April.

SPEAKER_03 23:40

April. April. April instead of April. April. April. April. April. Maybe man. June.

SPEAKER_04 23:55

June.

SPEAKER_03 23:56

June. January. January. August. August. September. So fucking then, man. October. October. October. November. December. December. December. December. December. December. December, December. December. December. December. December. December. December. December. December. December. December.

SPEAKER_07 24:35

We need to look up like the sales of um voice activated devices in Scotland versus the rest of the world. Because maybe nobody buys them there. They can't use it. I've seen a video. I've seen a video similar to this, and it was a Scottish guy or two Scottish guys in an elevator in like Dubai or some fancy ass place where you told the elevator what floor you wanted to go to, and they could not get the fucking thing to listen to them. And they were they were losing their minds with anger. Yeah, yeah. And it's a shitload of floors, too. It's this gigantic. So the option of you know just taking the stairs, what, to the 28th floor, you know, whatever the hell they were trying to get to?

SPEAKER_06 25:21

No, that's hilarious. Good lord. So I think from now on, anytime I enter anything that I think might have anything to do with kind of voice recognition, I mate. What can I do for the F-sun?

SPEAKER_07 25:35

And apparently, one of the biggest problems with facial recognition, ironically, is face paint, right? So essentially what you need to do is be a Highlander juggalo. And you should be able to walk this earth completely unscannable.

SPEAKER_06 25:51

Highlander juggalo. There you go. Oh God. Yeah, it's amazing. Wicked clowns for life. Oh, good luck. Grab me, hatchet. Wouldn't that be great if Juggalos just started speaking with a Scottish accent from now on? I think we should we should campaign for that somehow. Send them a send them a link to this or something. Go we dare ya. We dare you to just oh God. That was hilarious.

SPEAKER_07 26:27

I mean who's Yeah, I just I was just checking to make sure, but that's yeah, those are all the ones that I had pulled up.

SPEAKER_06 26:32

I think that's about all I I really had time to send over this weekend. But uh yeah, that's some crazy shit. Right. I thought about sending something now, but I can't remember what it was. And of course it's something that we should probably talk about. I don't know if it was something about the Save Act or I mean there's plenty to talk about. I mean, you know, we're in Iran. Did you see where they're they're saying that the Kurds are gonna be our boots on the ground? Yeah, yeah. Are they really gonna fall for this shit again? I mean, how many times I no, I don't think so.

SPEAKER_07 27:03

Yeah, I don't think so either.

SPEAKER_06 27:04

This is crazy, this whole thing. But uh yeah.

SPEAKER_07 27:08

So I've got an upcoming, an upcoming chance to see how bad uh Medicare fraud here is in Gainesville. I'm real curious to see. Oh, right. I had a procedure that I had to go to this morning, and nothing, you know, I'm not having any symptoms or anything like that, but you know, because of Medicare and wellness check and your annual fit, you know, physical blah blah blah. Um I'm finally at the age and I have smoked cigarettes long enough to where they've like, you got to do a lung screening. So it's you know, it's like a CAT scan, low radiation dose. It's no big deal. You're in and out in five minutes. It took way longer to fill out the paperwork than to actually do it. But while I was there, I couldn't help but notice they had a poster up or a placard on the wall saying that um they were offering this very test for cash for $99. Like no insurance needed, just out-of-pocket cost. And that's surprisingly cheap for anything involving any radiation, any any kind of MR, any of those machines. So I'm real curious. And three months when I get my quarterly Medicare statement that shows you know what you can be charged, what you rebuild, what's it? I'm dying to know. I'm dying to know what they charge Medicare for this lung screening for this five minutes that I spent in the uh in the CT scanner.

SPEAKER_06 28:22

But I guarantee you it's so much that that's why they can give away $99 to poor people because the insurance companies are playing so much, but yeah. But uh, you know, what speaking of uh I I've been driving down here for at least a month and month plus using the Sawgrass Expressway. Am I ever gonna get a bill?

SPEAKER_07 28:47

Uh you absolutely should have gotten a your driver's license, has your correct address on it, right? Yeah. And yeah, you should have gotten one long by for long before now.

SPEAKER_06 28:58

Yeah, no, I've started been driving down here since the end of January yet to get any bill at all for uh Sawgrass Expressway. Not one.

SPEAKER_07 29:08

Unless some benevolent strangers stuck a sun pass on your windshield without you knowing it, but highly unlikely.

SPEAKER_06 29:14

Well, here's the thing, I only did it a couple of times with the Jeep. And the real reason I'm kind of wondering what's gonna happen is because uh I've been that that beamer bike has been earning its keep lately. It costs seven dollars to drive down here with in gas on that thing. Six, six and change. So I've been using that shit thing, but I don't have a tag for that bike. I just take the tag off my other bike and put it on that one. So I'd be interested to see like what they even what how that works, you know, if they even say anything. I mean, it's they're still gonna send the just the tag as my address. So I mean it's just a matter of whether they're gonna put together that you know the tag doesn't belong to the bike I'm on, which I doubt the toll people would bother with that, but I'd be in it seems unlikely. But I'm just I'm just amazed that I've yet to even get bill one. Not even anything yet. So I wonder what'll happen if they somehow, like, you know, after a couple of months, just come up and say, hey, your license is suspended for what? Unpaid tolls. Well, would I I never got a bill. You know, how do I pay the tolls if I don't get a bill for it? Am I supposed to like go ask them?

SPEAKER_07 30:19

You can't even I was gonna say if you don't have an invoice, you can't even go online and pay it. Yeah, there is nothing to pay. You don't have an invoice.

SPEAKER_06 30:27

You don't have a and do I go on their website and ask them, like, hey, where's my bill? How do I do that?

SPEAKER_07 30:32

Is that you know how No, I mean in theory, because I've paid these things many times, you could search using your tag number. Um, really?

SPEAKER_06 30:44

Okay, maybe I'll try that. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 30:45

You can search to see if you have any any bills under your tag number, you could do that.

SPEAKER_06 30:50

But it's funny that you would have to be like proactive about something like that to not not run afoul of the law and like, really? I have to make sure that you guys are collecting the un you know illegal fees that you want.

SPEAKER_07 31:02

It's you know, it's Florida Turnpike doesn't waste any time sending you a letter and all the central Florida stuff like I was gonna say, and it's all the same people, right?

SPEAKER_06 31:10

Sun pass, right?

SPEAKER_07 31:11

Yeah, yeah. Well, well, it's yeah, they're all connected. But one of the times I came down, the turnpike itself was actually shut down at some point, and I had to get off in Orlando near the airport and then drive all the way uh east to 95, and that was some bullshit toll road, too. And they were Johnny on the spot with sending me the bill. Um turnpike, all of those things down there. But I've never gotten one for the sawgrass. Um, and I did use it once when I came down the last time.

SPEAKER_06 31:40

We used it, right? I was in the car with you, I think. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 31:43

Yeah, yeah. And I have not received an invoice for that. So maybe it's just that stretch of road just doesn't maybe now I doesn't police it.

SPEAKER_06 31:52

Did I? I think I went on the turnpike the other day, so we'll see if that ends up. That that should definitely I can't I can't remember if I actually did go on the turnpike or not, though. I usually don't. I mean, there's really not much reason for me to go on the turnpike. But it's swear I think I had for f oh you know what? I think I got stuck in traffic or something. I don't know. I I forget if I did or not, but anyway. Uh so anyway, what else is there to talk about? Going on on the zeitgeist of the universe. How much time do we got left?

SPEAKER_07 32:24

Uh well it's three o'clock. We can go a little bit more.

SPEAKER_06 32:27

Yeah, so we'll be doing about a half hour.

SPEAKER_07 32:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 32:31

All right, so what else we have? 35. 35 minutes. Yeah, we've been putting out some pretty short episodes lately between the one that I did by myself and the one with the technical problems. So yeah, we should probably go get at least try and get an hour out of this one. We just gotta remember what to talk about.

SPEAKER_07 32:46

I can't go for I can't go for another 25 minutes, but I go another 10.

SPEAKER_06 32:49

All right, all right, cool. Just let us know. That's right. You got somewhere to be, huh?

SPEAKER_07 32:53

I guess he's a man about a dog. There you go.

SPEAKER_06 32:56

Uh so let's see, what else? I guess uh I guess my my landlord is having a big hoo-ha birthday party this Saturday that supposedly 30 people are coming to, plus my buddy the piano player, who they're gonna hire. You got any idea where 30 people are gonna park at my house?

SPEAKER_07 33:14

Hell no. Me neither. Um not even if they parked all down at the little plaza that down the street from you there.

SPEAKER_06 33:23

There's not a I know that's a lot of things. They're talking about like over at the library or or something like that. It is is the library open on Saturdays?

SPEAKER_07 33:31

Yeah, probably is, isn't it?

SPEAKER_06 33:32

Yeah, so that's not a good idea. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_07 33:34

I mean, not night. I don't know what time this party's taking place.

SPEAKER_06 33:37

That's true. It might be later, might be late afternoon at least. Well, it is by out by the pool, so I'm sure it's gonna at least start during the day. But uh yeah, I don't I don't know where this truck can be.

SPEAKER_07 33:46

Live music again.

SPEAKER_06 33:48

Uh well, just my buddy, my buddy Johnny D playing piano. Just one guy playing piano kind of thing. Um but yeah, that should be interesting. I don't know how they're gonna know where these people are gonna park. And the amazing thing is they took all, you know, that little uh patio chair and and table in front of my apartment. They took all of those from all over the the that they've been from my place from the neighbor's place and from around around the pool, and they somehow cobbled it all all together for with for tables that seat 31 people. I could I was looking at it going like son of a bitch, they got they got 30 people fit in those, you know, just uh like on one little side of the of the pool. On tiny little stools all jammed together, because damn that's no, it's like the the you know, it's a lawn, lawn chairs kind of, you know. Yeah. I mean they're not, you know, they're not padded or anything, but it's something to sit on, you know, it's a lawn chair, plastic, you know. But yeah, I was amazed they've they fit all that stuff and they've been going nuts. Apparently they've been waiting two days for some shipment of wine or something.

SPEAKER_07 34:48

They're like so are they gonna like sedate that dog or something? Or is he just gonna bark and session that's gonna thing's gonna go fucking nuts?

SPEAKER_06 34:57

Well, you know what? I think here's the weird thing. After me, I I think I've lived there what nine, ten years maybe now. I think they're finally starting to realize maybe we should listen to him. After the, you know, maybe we should start listening to what Chip says. He seems to always be right about everything. So after after uh dog sitting their dog for a few days, I just literally just today I went over and I told him, I said, Look, guys, when I have your dog, I just let him run around the yard. He doesn't leave the yard. You know, if he starts barking, he runs outside and I go go get it, and he barks out there for a while and then he comes back, it's no big deal. You know, I'm trying to, I'm trying to, you know, impress to them because they're like, they don't let him out of their sight, you know, and they've always got them on a leash and they're fru they're afraid. If he runs around in the yard, they're like, come here, come here. You know, they're just all hyper-protective of this stupid little dog. So that it so much so that it's a yard, a yard, by the way, for the listeners, it is gated and fenced. It's not just an open yard.

SPEAKER_07 35:58

Well, I mean, you can't just run away.

SPEAKER_06 36:00

The dog could get out if he wanted to, but I don't think he wants to. He doesn't, he doesn't go outside the yard. And so I'm trying to impress to them, it's like, look, just let the dog run around. And and the the the reason I was even talking about it is because just the other day, one of them was laying out by the pool while the dog's in the lineai barking at him. And I went over to tell him, I go, look, when I let him out and he doesn't come back right away after barking something after he's been out there for a while, I I get worried about him, I go look for him. And every time I do that, he's just laying by the pool, literally just getting sun, just like you're doing right now. So why don't you just let him out? And instead of having him sit there barking at you, just let him out. He'll lay right next to you by the pool. All he wants to do is be with somebody. He's not, you know, it's like they just don't seem to get it, but you know, whatever. They're starting to finally listen to me. Like, all right, yeah, maybe uh okay. You just let him run around the yard. I'm like, yeah, yeah, he doesn't leave the yard. He doesn't have any desire to leave the yard. He's afraid to leave the yard. The dog's afraid of everything. I mean, literally, I I think I told the story that like he goes to to uh you know checking. He he's this dog is like uh he'll eat anything. Literally, I've given him stuff that like there's no way he's gonna eat this, he'll eat it. So this dog's a chow hound, and he he'll go up and like inspect well, he won't eat the cat food, which is odd. But he goes up and he inspects the cat food. I know. He goes up and inspects the cat food, but he like it's like he's afraid of it. Like, literally, it's it's cat food laying on a paper plate, and he's like, yes, I kind of like cautiously go up to it and you know jump back a couple times before and it's like, what are you afraid of? It's fucking cat food. This the dog is afraid of everything. You know, it's just like you know, that's what your problem is. You got a dog that's afraid of everything, it's wound too tight, and you guys are doing the exact thing to you know exasperate, exacerbate that, or whatever what's that word? Uh uh exasperate exacerbate. Exacerbate, yeah, yeah. You're you're not making it better. But yeah, they're finally starting to listen. I I try to tell him too. It's like, you know, sometimes I'll be sitting there with a dog on the couch, and he's he once he just chills out, he's cool. But we'll be just sitting there on the couch and he starts just barking, you know, his his hearing is so good. He'll hear a fucking truck go by on the street or something and just start barking at it. Like it's like, Jesus Christ, what are you barking at? So finally, after a while, I just started yelling at him when he does that. You know, just as soon as he started barking, I go, What? And then he kind of and after a while he stopped. I told him that. I was like, look, just you know, if he starts barking at bullshit, yell at him, tell him to stop, you know, and he'll stop. He gets it, he's he's a smart dog, he's just scared, you know. He's a brilliant dog. I mean, I think he's smart as smart as shit. The only other thing wrong with the dog is he just has, I think he's got some kind of medical issue. He can't stop licking. Like even when he's just sitting there by himself, his tongue's just going licking the air. Like there's nothing there, and he's just licking like crazy. It's like, what are you doing? What are you licking?

SPEAKER_07 38:59

That could be a behavioral thing, some kind of self-soothing.

SPEAKER_06 39:03

Maybe, yeah, maybe, or a medical thing. I don't know. Uh but he just sits there and I'll look at him like, what are you licking? He'll do it for minutes.

SPEAKER_07 39:12

I'll ask my sister what she thinks.

SPEAKER_06 39:13

Yeah, that's a good idea. And you know what? Before we wrap up, which I'm sure we got to wrap up soon, there was one video I sent you that we never did get on the show or talk about, and it was the video of that leaf. Video of that leaf. Remember the the mystery ghost leaf that was shaking around?

SPEAKER_07 39:33

I don't remember. Uh yeah, we did we know we put that on, didn't we? Did we? We certainly talked about it.

SPEAKER_06 39:41

Oh, okay. All right, maybe we did. Maybe you didn't, I just don't remember. I thought maybe we'd skip that or something.

SPEAKER_07 39:46

But uh No, I think we did do it.

SPEAKER_06 39:48

Yeah, that was that was odd. What did we say about it? I don't even remember now.

SPEAKER_07 39:52

That we you couldn't figure out, we couldn't figure out what it was. And no other no other parts of the plant were moving, and there was no breeze and there was nothing attached to it hanging from it, or but if anybody can remember whether or not we actually told that, leave it in the comments or call us better yet. 904-549-9024. Is that what you were gonna say? Absolutely.

SPEAKER_06 40:14

You never saw the uh the email, but I sent Dean an email once that has the uh there's a clip from uh Hannibal of the clip that I want that's that's the guy um uh Mason, the the the fucked up guy, and he's goes, Carlo. I didn't see it. I want him to put that on the soundboard because it's just perfect. The only thing that sucks about it is it's not he's like he's on the phone, so the audio of the on the film is not that great. It's him over the phone, but it's him going, Carlo. Anyway. All right, so like, subscribe, comment, leave us messages, call us up, do all that good stuff, and uh, I guess we'll see you next time.

unknown 40:54

See you.

SPEAKER_06 40:55

Thanks, guys.

unknown 41:13

Yeah, um actually you know what you
