Pour Decisions Episode 10: Tentacles and Trolls

This week on @pourdecisionswithus, we somehow went from talking about octopi and AI to keyboard warriors and hyperbaric chambers… and honestly, that tracks perfectly for us.

In Episode 10, Erin and David dive into one of David's Dad's books, social media drama, why people act so differently behind a screen, Erin's new job, and a fascinating conversation about hyperbaric oxygen therapy and healing.

It’s part science, part sarcasm, part relationship banter, and completely unfiltered.

Basically, if you’ve ever wondered what would happen if AI, octopi, internet trolls, and oxygen tanks ended up in the same conversation over drinks… this episode is for you.

 Thanks for listening to Pour Decisions. If you enjoyed this episode, follow the podcast so you don’t miss what’s next — and join us next time for more real conversations and honest pours.

SPEAKER_01 0:00

You're aligned. Let's begin.

SPEAKER_00 0:14

One, two, and three.

SPEAKER_01 0:19

Welcome to Poor Decisions. We are David and Aaron Crumbly, and we talk about poor decisions and everything in between.

SPEAKER_00 0:27

Everything.

SPEAKER_01 0:27

And we have been gone for about a week and a half, so we're sorry we haven't put a podcast up in a week and a half. I know you guys missed us.

SPEAKER_00 0:35

I mean, we've got hundreds and thousands of emails wondering where we were and if we're okay. We're okay.

SPEAKER_01 0:43

For now.

SPEAKER_00 0:44

Barely.

SPEAKER_01 0:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 0:48

But uh, so we start off every episode with a bottle of nice wine. And I picked one out today. It's called Octopoda, and it is from Russian River Valley.

SPEAKER_01 1:04

That's a good wine.

SPEAKER_00 1:05

Uh, Central California. It's a 2023.

SPEAKER_01 1:09

I think that was a limited edition. I think I read up on that that these um this particular wine was a limited edition.

SPEAKER_00 1:16

Uh it's got a picture of an octopus on the front, and uh it's a really cool label, octopoda. Um, it is they said it's pretty high in alcohol content. Let's see what it is.

SPEAKER_01 1:26

Woo!

SPEAKER_00 1:26

So hard to read.

SPEAKER_01 1:27

I know it's got flavors of chocolate and spice.

SPEAKER_00 1:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:32

And um this particular winery is close to the 14%.

SPEAKER_00 1:37

Which for this is a Pinot Noir, so for a Pinot Noir to be 14% is pretty is pretty strong. But we're gonna try it out. So I've been letting it breathe for a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 1:46

And we got octopi glasses today.

SPEAKER_00 1:48

We have octopus glasses, yeah. Well, two octopuses make an octopi. I wonder if it's any good. Well, the pie.

SPEAKER_01 1:58

You can go ahead and pour yours first. I see how you are. No, I'm not. Yes, you are. You did you were he's gonna pour his glass before mine. What kind of man does that?

SPEAKER_00 2:08

I can't win.

SPEAKER_01 2:11

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_00 2:13

She picked out a glass that holds uh 500 milliliters.

SPEAKER_01 2:17

So it can hold the whole bottle.

SPEAKER_00 2:18

And look at the glass. Look at the glass she gave me. You see that? Well, I guess she's just about a third of the size.

SPEAKER_01 2:24

Well, you're feeling better now, so I guess you can drink a little more wine. He wasn't feeling last episode, he wasn't feeling too good, but yeah, I'm good now.

SPEAKER_00 2:32

My glass has two silly looking octopi on there.

SPEAKER_01 2:37

I think Madison did that one. I think so. Painted that too. It's another Madison.

SPEAKER_00 2:41

Madison Original.

SPEAKER_01 2:43

Yeah, Madison Original, Lola Original behind us, our dog. So yeah, we have a family full of artists.

SPEAKER_00 2:50

Yes, we do. Yeah, and our son does um pottery pottery, and he draws, and uh, we and him did claymation, not claymation, but stop animation for a while. That was really fun. I had an app on my phone. The only thing about that, it was a lot of fun, but it took forever, and I I would lose patience like halfway through. We'd have like a little skit or something we wanted to do with the stop animation. We'd have these clay things, and we were we had a background, and I get about halfway through, and I'm like, let's just speed this this up and kill this person or this little clay thing. And and then it just you have to be very patient to do uh stop animation, by the way.

SPEAKER_01 3:32

My eyes just glazed over. That was a long that was long. That was whole like yeah. But he's gonna go to art school, I think. I think he's leaning towards going on to art school somewhere in Florida, so that's a good thing. Here's here's cheering to DJ going on to college.

SPEAKER_00 3:47

Yeah, cheers if he makes it through high school.

SPEAKER_01 3:51

All right, here we go.

SPEAKER_00 3:54

It's got a great aroma. Spicy.

SPEAKER_01 4:00

It is spicy. I can taste blackberry and definitely got some spice in there.

SPEAKER_00 4:07

Like dark fruits and stuff. And you'll have to excuse me, I have to let our stupid dog in.

SPEAKER_01 4:12

Yeah, it's it's pretty tasty, guys. So it's funny that we he he ended up getting a bottle of this octopus wine or the label of an octopus, because I've been actually on Instagram and TikTok, I'm watching this guy that actually owns octopus. And he's I I have to find out what his name is. I'll post it in the comment section. But he's got this these octopus or octopi in different cages, and he sh they miss him, they crawl out of the their um tanks to give him hugs with his their hands, and and he's got one named Rambo that I just love. I'm fascinated by this Rambo octopus that likes to hunt and it changes colors, and he's got a big blue eye. And and that guy is fascinating. So I go down that rabbit hole when I'm bored at night when he's asleep, and I'm like, well, I need to find something to make me tired. So I watched this guy in his octopus.

SPEAKER_00 5:07

What kind of uh lobster was that he put in the cage with Rambo? Some kind of real small uh lobster. It's not like a regular lobster with the claws and everything. It was real small. Rock lobster? Uh I can't remember, but he put it in the cage with Rambo and and he was uh filming Rambo go after it and how the the octopus would think and figure out how to sneak up on him. And oh, it was crazy, but he ended up catching him, and I'm sure he ate him.

SPEAKER_01 5:36

Well, yeah, I did because I watched it. So that that's that was a given. It's just really fascinating because I really liked octopus.

SPEAKER_02 5:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:44

Well, I ate some today, well, not today, a couple days ago at sushi. That was squeezed. No, it wasn't. It was octopus, and it was really chewy. It was a chewy octopus sushi. I got it over at Slip, the Slippery Mermaid, and yeah, uh, I thought it was gonna be more uh not chewy, like grilled. Because we ate when we went to Spain, we had a lot of I ate a lot of octopus there. Yeah, but then I felt kind of bad because then I remembered Rambo and his little this guy and his octopus.

SPEAKER_00 6:10

These octopuses, octopi. I don't know which is right. We should we should well I think you can use both because uh I heard some scientists talking not long ago about octopuses, and I'm like sound so dirty.

SPEAKER_01 6:27

It is sound dirty. Um, and you know, I just kind of felt bad about it, but like if you look around my house, I've got coffee mugs that have octopus pie on it, octopus, an octopus on it.

SPEAKER_00 6:40

And um, I get them over at the paperweight that is in a box in the garage.

SPEAKER_01 6:45

Yeah, I have a I have a lot of octopus photos or artwork or or glasses. I don't know why that is, just because probably one of my favorite creatures because they are one of the most intelligent creatures.

SPEAKER_00 6:59

Oh, and speaking of that, oh I found this. Um my dad wrote a book. It's called Inky's Great Escape, and it's about it's a true story. Well, you know, it's based on a true story about an octopus that was in a these uh these scientists were doing a bunch of experiments on all kinds of different creatures, and they had an octopus in one of the cages. And um this octopus named Inky figured out that if he was to get out of his cage or his aquarium, he could go down the drain in the middle of the floor where they would hose everything down at night, and all the water would go down this big drain. Well, Inky got out of his cage one night, went down the drain, and ended up uh in the ocean.

SPEAKER_01 7:46

Yeah, so that was in Australia, I think. That was in Australia, and your dad wrote the whole book.

SPEAKER_00 7:50

My dad wrote a book, it's on Amazon.

SPEAKER_01 7:52

It's it rhymes too, right?

SPEAKER_00 7:53

Your dad rhymes that book escape, yeah. It rhymes.

SPEAKER_01 7:55

So yeah, you can go on and find Inky's Great Escape on Amazon under Dr. Gene Crumbly.

SPEAKER_00 8:01

Yeah, it's really cool.

SPEAKER_01 8:02

And he's written a lot of books. Yeah, but this is a big thing.

SPEAKER_00 8:04

And there's a mixed family in it too, so nobody gets offended. I'm offended. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 8:13

The man and the boy look darker than who ended up um doing the the drawings on that.

SPEAKER_00 8:19

Um, it was uh illustrations by blue blueberry illustrations.

SPEAKER_01 8:23

Oh, maybe they took after the family that actually anyways climbing out of the cage.

SPEAKER_00 8:28

I'm gonna read the book to you already.

SPEAKER_01 8:30

No, we're not. We're not gonna listen to the whole book.

SPEAKER_00 8:32

Everybody sit down. It's almost nap time, listen to the book.

unknown 8:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 8:37

Yes. Well, what maybe one day we'll have you start reading on the our YouTube channel so they can like listen to your dad's books and rhyme.

SPEAKER_00 8:45

I'm gonna do a little uh segment uh called uh Ask a Grandfather or Ask Grandad or Ask Dandy or something, where um I get questions from little kids, you know, maybe up to 12 years old or so when I get questions because I'm a grandfather and and uh 14, by the way.

SPEAKER_01 9:03

Grandfather got a bunch of grandkids.

SPEAKER_00 9:06

And uh, but yeah, they're always asking me these questions, and I give them these answers. I'm like, wow, I bet other kids would have these same questions too. So I think I'm gonna grab some uh some of my grandkids' questions and yeah, just maybe we'll put that out there because you know somebody else is gonna do it.

SPEAKER_01 9:23

That's fine.

SPEAKER_00 9:24

Like, like, okay, so I'm sure somebody else is already doing it. That's not probably this is not like a genius idea, it's just something I thought about I'd like to do.

SPEAKER_01 9:31

Well, you know, we had I was just thinking about this because I was trying to think about what we're gonna talk about on today's episode. And um I was thinking about back about I don't know, 15 years ago at your camp meeting, your cousins and all of us were sitting around talking about things that we should do that wouldn't like that nobody was doing, and we were like, we were like go fetch. We were like, you know what? It would be really cool if we created an app that would go get things for people, like their medicine, their groceries, and we call it go fetch, kind of like what you you know, and it would be the same, it would be a same day kind of thing.

SPEAKER_00 10:08

Yeah, so like if I forgot somebody's birthday and I'm not where I can get to them, I could go to the GoFetch app and say, Can you go to Walmart, pick this gift up for me and take it to this address? You know, obviously you pay for it on uh through the the app. Um, yeah, then the person somebody says, Okay, I'll take that job and they'll go grab it and go take it to the address.

SPEAKER_01 10:32

Yeah, and we were like, This is the best idea ever, and we never ever did anything about it. And then next thing you know, Uber came out and Instacart.

SPEAKER_00 10:42

I think Uber was already a thing, but Instacart and Uber Eats was not a thing yet. This is way back before that, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:47

So now they have, and I was like, Man, we should have done something.

SPEAKER_00 10:50

We also none of us were tech savvy, like we're all just sitting around talking about all this techno technological stuff, and none of us even well, you're tech savvy. Well, we were around have you created an app like that's got to be.

SPEAKER_01 11:02

No, but I created my own chat chat GPT called Emerald Coast Aaron, and it sounds just like me. So I you go into Chat GPT and you type in Emerald Coast Aaron AI, you can get my my own my chat. I think I made it public. It was private. I had to feed it a lot of stuff for it to act and talk like me, but it actually tells you about the housing market and real estate and puts a little wine-isms in there because I love wine and I love real estate, so it kind of blends them together and talks back to you. So if you say, What is my house worth? It'll tell you what your house is house is worth, sounding like me. And so I am a little tax savvy, and we should have capitalized on that because GoFetch could have been really a big thing, and we could have been millionaires.

SPEAKER_00 11:46

Let's go back 20 years.

SPEAKER_01 11:47

Okay, do you have a time machine?

SPEAKER_00 11:50

You know, I thought about that too. I was thinking about time machines the other day. What if you wanted to go forward and see where you would be in say 10, 20 years? And there was a time machine that did that. But the only catch is that if you go forward and you're not still alive, you die.

SPEAKER_01 12:12

That's did you dream that or what?

SPEAKER_00 12:15

No, I was just thinking about that because I'm thinking, you know, that'd be great to see where I would be in next, you know, the 10 years from now or 20 years from now. And I'm thinking, 20 years from now. I'm like, what if I'm not alive anymore? And then I would be dead. Yeah, you would you would I would go backwards. Yeah, but you'd be like, I know I'd go backwards. But then what happens? Then you would die immediately, and you would never end up being there where you were.

SPEAKER_01 12:38

No, that's not you just said a time machine, so you could go backwards. I'd like to go back to like oh yeah, and change some things. Yeah, I'd go back to when who you married. Yeah, well, like who you married. I mean, let's think back. Let's see here. You got married at what, 24?

SPEAKER_00 12:55

Well, 23. You're 23. So so I was had Danielle at 24.

SPEAKER_01 13:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:03

Wink wink.

SPEAKER_01 13:04

Well, then I would have been like 16, so I don't know or 17. Yeah. I would have been I would have been illegal. But back then they didn't really care as much as they do now. Like we didn't have the whole internet and everybody like knowing what was going on. So back then you probably could have gotten away with it. Yeah. You might have to ask my parents to marry me.

SPEAKER_00 13:23

Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_01 13:24

But then I would I could go back in time and re and then we could get married and then have, you know, or it just worked out the way it was supposed to.

SPEAKER_00 13:31

If I yeah, I would be so scared if I had a time machine and I could go back in time. You know, I made a bunch of mistakes in life, I'm sure we all have, but I would be too scared to change anything. Like I'm happy with where I'm at right now. I'm happy with you, I'm happy with the kids, and uh I just and the dog is. No, I'm not happy with the dogs. I would have changed that. I would have gone back and said, no, no dogs. No, I'm just kidding. I like dogs, but they're a lot of trouble sometimes.

SPEAKER_01 13:59

She's gonna lay down, lay down and watch us.

SPEAKER_00 14:01

She's alright.

SPEAKER_01 14:02

She looks guilty.

SPEAKER_00 14:04

She's getting old.

SPEAKER_01 14:05

Yeah, but she can make some art, so with her tail. But yeah, I I you know, I don't know. I'd like there's some things I'd like to go back and redo, but I think all the decisions on all the pathways were meant to be to bring me to you. If I didn't get married to my first husband, I wouldn't have known you, you know, and the children and everything else. I mean, you can't really go back in time because it's what the butterfly effect is you change everything that happens. Yeah, that's a crazy movie.

SPEAKER_00 14:33

That's a really crazy that was an insane movie.

SPEAKER_01 14:36

But yeah, so I think um everything happens for a reason and puts you where you're supposed to be. If you make good decisions, you don't make poor decisions. Um the poor decisions got me to where I made good decisions, let's put it that way. And believe me, folks, I made a lot of poor decisions in my life. A lot.

SPEAKER_00 14:54

Yeah, we made one right here.

SPEAKER_01 14:56

No, we did not make the poor decision. Well, we poured, and we're talking about you're so funny. Yeah, so with our octopus, occupy glasses. So, yeah, I'm back, I'm back in uh IT, which I don't know if anybody really cares about, but I've learned a lot about AI. I've been actually working for an AI company since December. I I go in as a contractor and they send me things and I look at videos and try to make the AI smarter. It's a company out in California that hired me. Um, and so I was already helping the AI get smarter and smarter, and I've trained the AI to talk like me. I mean, it's I'm really entrenched in the AI thing. So now I'm selling computers or buying GPUs, and GPUs are the big brain of the AI computers, and they are the wave of the future. Obviously, you need a lot of CPUs, which are now GPUs that go into a data center to be able to run AI in these big companies, like X and all of them. And then in three years, they're gonna need to have faster computers, so these clusters are gonna be coming out on the market, and those are the things I'm trying to grab because they're like bricks of gold. I mean, these are the like it's like a commodity, it's like gold and silver. These GPUs are very expensive, and you know, they're gonna be worth a lot of money when they come out, right? And so I've been learning all about that. It's weird because I've been out for seven years and now I'm back in, and the whole schematic of the industry has changed. It's no longer recycling computers, like can I buy all your servers and recycle? That's part of it. We pull out the CPUs and the memory, but and recycle it into new, you know, take the chips out of the memory and re put them on new memory cards and stuff. But the AI thing is just huge, which is kind of like octopus. Uh you know that's kind of like an octopus. It is.

SPEAKER_00 16:52

How is it like an octopus?

SPEAKER_01 17:00

They have lots of arm, they have a centralized brain. Okay. I mean, the but the the octopus the brains in their hands. Did you not know that?

SPEAKER_00 17:08

I actually their hands like are the brain. Arms, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:11

And they yeah, they they feel things, and yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:14

And they think separately of the brain from the brain.

SPEAKER_01 17:17

Yeah. And uh, yeah, they can open up lids and yeah, they can figure stuff out. Yeah, and AI, as we keep as we keep feeding the AI, it gets getting smarter and smarter and smarter, and pretty soon the AI and the octopus are gonna take over the world.

SPEAKER_00 17:36

Can I tell you a little octopus story about rock that has to also to do with rock and roll?

SPEAKER_01 17:42

Okay, all right.

SPEAKER_00 17:44

So the Beatles song, Octopus Garden, Octopus's Garden, Under the Sea, that Ringo Starr actually sang. Uh, he actually wrote that song too. And the reason he wrote it, of course, they were probably high, but um, they were told, and uh in this one guy, uh, some scientist was hanging out with them doing something, and he was telling them that uh the octopus when they make a home, wherever they do at the bottom of the sea, they will a lot of times make a garden around their home. They'll find little trinkets and little stuff, and it's not stuff that they eat or that they can actually use, but they find these little trinkets and they will go and arrange them in like a like a garden out front of their home. It's kind of cool. So that's what the song Octopus's Garden is all about at the bottom of the scene.

SPEAKER_01 18:35

Wow, that's I did not know that. I don't even know if I've heard that song before.

SPEAKER_00 18:39

Yeah, I'll sing it to you later.

SPEAKER_01 18:40

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 18:42

We'll do it in our band.

SPEAKER_01 18:43

You do it in the band. Yes, David had used it. David's band is uh starting to rock and rolling. Yeah. He and Joe are out starting to do some gigs around town and starting to try to pick up some more games.

SPEAKER_00 18:57

We played this Friday at the American Legion here in Navarre, and uh I think it was very successful. A lot of people tell us we did all right, and uh we got uh whistles and claps and cheers after most of the songs. Maybe they were just glad we were finished with it.

SPEAKER_01 19:12

But no, you sounded really good. You guys really sounded good.

SPEAKER_00 19:15

And yeah, yeah, so if you are a bass player and you'd like to join a band with two old guys, uh we'd love to have and and be your lead singer.

SPEAKER_01 19:23

I mean, we might need somebody with a strong voice. I'm just you know you guys sound good together, but we need another guy that can have a strong voice too.

SPEAKER_00 19:32

Well, you know, anybody that's what we keep saying is that we'd love to have a bass player, but if you're I think we'd love to have a bass player or keyboardist that can sing because we definitely know that that's not our strong point. We try to pick songs that that we you know do okay with. And I sing I sing a lot of the songs, but um but yeah, it'd be very cool, especially you know, for backgrounds and stuff. You know, there's a lot of background vocals in some of these songs that we just can't do right now with two of us, but um yeah, anyway, it's a lot of fun. I enjoy it. I really, really enjoy it.

SPEAKER_01 20:08

Well, I want you to enjoy it. I mean, you're in your retired years and you're retired. Ish.

SPEAKER_00 20:14

Ish.

SPEAKER_01 20:14

I mean, you're doing real my the real estate business, and that's going well for you, and you're doing a good job. You're like my assistant.

SPEAKER_00 20:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:21

You're like my ass, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:23

I'm our assistant.

SPEAKER_01 20:24

Yeah, and he does he's very good at my maid.

SPEAKER_00 20:26

I wear the little French made thing.

SPEAKER_01 20:28

He does wear this French made thing. Yeah, yeah, it's really cute on you, too.

SPEAKER_00 20:31

Stockings.

SPEAKER_01 20:32

Yes, he does wear the stockings.

SPEAKER_00 20:34

I've shaved my legs.

SPEAKER_01 20:35

Now then you're gonna know all our dirty secrets. Oh, why did you have to tell everybody? But you can see that on our OnlyFans. Yeah, join our OnlyFans, and you know, we'll have to put in the comment section what our OnlyFans is. I'm sure there'd be some people out there who would love to see it.

SPEAKER_00 21:02

People spend big money to watch people's feet. I'm like, uh really like that turns you on.

SPEAKER_01 21:09

People like farts in a jar and dirty panties and dirty socks. It's weird. It's so weird, it's weird, you know, and um, yeah, but then they'd find us and then they would crucify us online, which you know that's another thing that's just been like you do one bad thing, yeah, or say one wrong thing, or post one thing on the internet, and they want to crucify you, they just want to just talk about you and jump in and have an opinion. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_00 21:37

You know, these keyboard warriors are just to me, it's such a joke. It's such a joke. Um you know, if you're if you know you're separated by a thousand miles and by a screen and by some kind of name that you give yourself that's not even your name, and they just go and say whatever they want to say and You know, it's just rude, obnoxious, just it's stupid, idiotic. But there's no repercussions, right? There's there's no, oh, hey, you're, you know, you posted this, that wasn't cool. There's none of that. It's just like, oh, it's just they get away with everything because they're just on the keyboard. They're anonymous, just full of hate and full of venom, and you know, just full of piss and vinegar.

SPEAKER_01 22:24

Ooh, piss and vinegar, that sounds like a no-piss and vinegar. Yeah, my mom used to say that.

SPEAKER_00 22:28

And uh, but they're just full of that, you know, and and I'm you know, and I was believe me, I was kind of into that for a little bit. Not that I was one of those posting, but I was I was on the, you know, I I keep up with politics, so you know, I got on X and whatever platforms, and the X is probably the best one if you, you know, for free speech anyway. And you know, you just go on there and you see all these people posting all this crazy stuff, and I'm like, you know, it would be different. It's so different if you're standing in a room with somebody, you're not gonna talk to them like that. And that's that's what my attitude has been online is if I disagree with somebody and I want to make a point, I'm gonna be as respectful as possible. Uh, but I'm gonna try to make my point. And uh, and then if you have a different opinion or whatever, come back at me. But you know, just be respectful of the person. You know, you can you can debate ideas, but be respectful of the person.

SPEAKER_01 23:26

And uh it's pretty easy when you can put a fake a fake profile picture up and an anonymous name and just sit back and you know and rile the people up, rage bait, as my kid calls it, rage bait. Yeah, and you can say whatever, whether it's Facebook or X or any of the social medias, you they hide behind these fake profiles, but if they had their own picture or their family or their real name up, they would never say why would you? It's so easy to judge people when you don't know them. Yeah, like if you don't know the person and you sit back and judge them, then you know it's just ridiculous. I'm kind of the same uh I'll tell you to your face. That's the thing about me. If I don't like what you say or I disagree with you, I'll just say it right to your face. I won't hold it in or like be snarky about it behind closed doors. I'll go right to the source and tell them right to their face. This is what I think.

SPEAKER_00 24:20

And that's the way it should be. I mean, that's the way it should be. And if I get a bit slapped, you should never, and that's one thing I also that I never do. I never listen to secondhand information. I never do. If people come to me and say, you know what so-and-so did, or you know, it's I was like, Where'd you like? First of all, they didn't tell me this, so it's none of my business. And second of all, why are you telling me this? Like, you got nothing better to do with your life. Like you need attention that bad that you want to spread rumors and lies about people because you just think you know, people like to hear you talk. I I was like, you know. Thanks anyway. Uh you can go on your own way, and I'll go, you know, talk to my friend or whoever it is if I need to and find out what really is going on. But I I never take uh secondhand information for um for real. I always question it. Because there's always a motive behind it, you know. There's always somebody that wants to get attention, or they they just want to be a big wig, or they want people to hear them because you know they're lonely and they stay home and masturbate all day.

SPEAKER_01 25:24

Oh, here's some masturbation.

SPEAKER_00 25:27

It is it's not a uh kid-friendly show, by the way. Uh obviously now. So yeah, what a way to go down that rabbit hole, honey. That's really weird. So uh if you're watching this live, that might be edited out when uh are we live right now?

SPEAKER_01 25:45

I hope we're not live. We didn't yeah, we haven't done a live show yet. We tried to figure one how to do it, and I want to do a live show so people want to ask us questions or criticize us or brage bait us or whatever they want to do.

SPEAKER_00 25:56

I've figured it out.

SPEAKER_01 25:56

I can do it. Yeah, we'll we'll we'll have to do that on the next show. And speaking of the next show, Tommy Nichols, who is very, very into the local politics here in Santa Rosa County, is doing very well, and he is ready and waiting to be on our show. So I'm thinking next week we'll bring him on, and you guys can like talk about all the politics that's going on in Santa Rosa County, all the people that are running right now, and um, you can just say it to their face or to the camera.

SPEAKER_00 26:24

And um I'm gonna uh we'll we're gonna reach out to and see if anybody has you know any questions about the local politics and Santa Rosa County politics, and we're gonna ask him some of those questions during the uh the interview.

SPEAKER_01 26:36

Absolutely. If you guys have any any questions, um, you know, comment or private message us because Tommy's gonna be on the show be on the show. He has his own blue-collar voice, and he's got he's really his family's been here for generations.

SPEAKER_00 26:49

And he his dad uh was uh Indian chief for a long time.

SPEAKER_01 26:53

Yeah, the Creek Indians, yeah. And he's he just is a really knowledgeable guy. He's kind of the guy behind the curtain, if you want to call him like Oz. Like he puts everybody on the show, he doesn't lean one way or the other, he just lets everybody talk. He's got his own opinions, and he's very, very intelligent. And the man likes to talk. I'm gonna tell you right now, the man loves, we love you, Tommy. But man, you can talk.

SPEAKER_00 27:17

No, he can talk because he knows what he's talking about. And and the the cool thing is is that uh um, I mean, he shared this, so I don't think he minds that I share it, but he he had um he had a medical condition for a while that uh wow, he could have taken him out, and it and and it really affected him um uh tremendously, affected his speech, it affected his uh his balance, and and um so he was he thought you know at no he almost died. I mean, literally he was he was like hours from dying. He's made a comeback and he's almost back a hundred percent and his uh his speech is all back, his his voice is back, and uh he's just doing better every day. Hyperbolic chamber is what he's doing, and it's been amazing for him. And uh, I'm sure we'll talk about that too.

SPEAKER_01 28:07

Yeah, because yeah, because there's several people that reached out and told me that the hyperbolic chamber is doing a lot of wonderful work for people with with strokes, people with MS, they're talking about it helps regenerate your cells.

SPEAKER_00 28:20

I think just anybody, it would be helpful for if you do some research and you find out what it actually that it does. I I think it would be helpful for anyone, even if you're not having some kind of a serious medical issue. Um, it helps your brain function, it helps your circulatory system. I mean, it's just it's really good. Um, it's kind of expensive. So, you know, we're gonna be able to do that.

SPEAKER_01 28:43

Yeah, insurance doesn't cover it. Insurance doesn't cover it yet.

SPEAKER_00 28:45

Not yet, but not yet. Yeah, which is ridiculous. Yeah, some more research is just gonna get done and and um and insurance can start covering stuff. I think it's been amazing for him. And just watching him, I'm like, at first I was very skeptical. Uh we went to a fundraiser and the whole fundraiser was about um helping him pay for the hyperbolic chamber and and all the different, you know, because you have to do it a number of times. It's not you can't just do it one time, you have to do it uh for a number of times for a period of time. And um yeah, and I was very skeptical, but uh I mean he said he woke up one day and after he did one of the the the sessions, and uh all of a sudden his his speech was back because he was where he he couldn't find words. He he would try to speak, and the words came out a little mumbled, he couldn't find some words that he needed, and uh his thinking was not as clear, you know, as it used to be. And so, but all of a sudden he woke up one day and boom, it's back. And I'm like, that's amazing. And that's the only thing that he was doing, apart from you know, taking some of the medications that they gave him. But wow, I thought, wow, that if that does that for him, what can it do? What can it do for me?

SPEAKER_01 30:01

Like, seriously, you know, diabetes or well, just getting old.

SPEAKER_00 30:04

Uh, if it helps your brain function and it helps your circulatory function, like you know, wow.

SPEAKER_01 30:10

Maybe one day probably we'll be dead, they'll have hyperbolic chambers in everybody's house, so you just go and lay down in there and you hit the button and you get like better. I mean, it's not you know, like it's like flying cars, you just don't know when they're gonna come out, too.

SPEAKER_00 30:25

Who is that maid in uh the Jetsons Rosie? She's gonna push the button for you. Well, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 30:32

You have to put your hand out there and push the button like a tanning bed and then close it real quick. Tanning beds, though. I haven't used one of those in a long time. Yeah, I mean back then I'd tanning tanning in those tanning beds. Lord knows what kind of cancers are gonna come up on me pretty soon.

SPEAKER_00 30:48

I work for Planet Fitness, and when I got off work, sometimes I'd go lay down on the tanning bed and take a nap.

SPEAKER_01 30:54

While you slept, while you was going on?

SPEAKER_00 30:56

Yeah, of course.

SPEAKER_01 30:57

Well, now you can tell him because you know after I got off work.

SPEAKER_00 31:00

Oh, yes, right.

SPEAKER_01 31:01

He's very responsible when he goes to work.

SPEAKER_00 31:03

But I would I would be so tired, and I'd be thinking about I had to drive an hour to the house, and I'm like, I'm like, I get I might have narcolepsy, I'm not sure, but I got a lot of things too. I have I have apnea when the sleepies hit me, I gotta lay down. I don't care where I'm at, what I'm doing. If I don't lay down then and there, forget it. I'm I'm useless for the rest of the day.

SPEAKER_01 31:28

He does. He takes he takes a lot of naps, and he it's true. The moment it hits him, he goes down. Hey, naps are great. He falls asleep really easily, too. It takes me at least like 20 minutes for me to take a nap. Unless I've had some wine. If I had a lot of wine that night, I go down like that.

SPEAKER_00 31:43

That's called passing out. That's not called sleep.

SPEAKER_01 31:49

Yeah, and he he is your sleep apnea, you know, but I just we haven't got him a mask yet because I don't know if the how how sexy that's gonna be. Like, I'm gonna look over at you and you have a big mask on. I mean, if it prolongs your life, like a hyperbolic chamber, I'll do it.

SPEAKER_00 32:03

Like a Darth Vader mask.

SPEAKER_01 32:05

Yeah, well, I mean, that's not sexy, not unless I have to get one. And I don't, I don't have sleep apnea. That's not on my my list of things I have to get yet. Yeah. Yeah. Might have to get a back brace, you know. Some because you know older I get your back hurts. Do you get older? Nobody I was just making fun of this the other day. I told David and I told my mom and my sister, I said, what age did you hit when everything started feeling bad? Like it seems like 55. I'm 56, but 55, my back started hurting. Um, like my muscles ache when I dance, I pull muscles real easily. I just feel like everything is going downhill quickly. And I can only imagine my your dad and my mom are so much older. My mom's like, just imagine how I feel. But like, was there a certain age you were when you just started just nothing? It was unhealthy, like everything just fell apart. Your knees hurt, you know, your hands hurt, like everything hurts.

SPEAKER_00 33:02

Mine started at about 12.

SPEAKER_01 33:04

Really? No, I didn't. If I would have known that, maybe I wouldn't have married you. I mean, you're getting bad genes. Your dad obviously has good genes. His name is Gene, and he's lived a long time, and he's still alive.

SPEAKER_00 33:17

He's still alive, and he's still alive, he's still yeah, he's still kicking.

SPEAKER_01 33:20

Yeah, so um, but yeah, I I don't know. You guys have to comment and tell us what age was it that you started to feel like you're old. Old. I mean, I feel young inside, and I try to keep you know my face looking good, and I try to exercise and keep healthy, but man, the aches and pains just in yeah, the arthritis starting to pick in. Arthritis killing me these days. Yeah, it's just insane. But I mean, I guess you know, getting old is a privilege.

SPEAKER_00 33:48

Better than dying.

SPEAKER_01 33:49

Well, getting old is a privilege. A lot of people, young people didn't get that, or you know, didn't get that.

SPEAKER_02 33:54

That's true.

SPEAKER_01 33:54

So it's something that you need to be thankful for, but yeah, it's just interesting that it just seems like 55 was it. Like 50, maybe a little bit. 55 after that was like boom. And I can't wait to get 60 and 65 and 70. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 34:10

I think mine hit at about 73.

SPEAKER_01 34:15

Yeah, your hearing's going out, your eyes are going out, you can't see me. I'm surprised you still put it in. What? Anyways, well, that's our edition. This is what this is episode what 10?

SPEAKER_00 34:32

Yeah, yeah, episode 10.

SPEAKER_01 34:34

And this is our yeah, and next week, like I said, hopefully Tommy will get in here and it'll be a two-hour episode. I promise you that.

SPEAKER_02 34:41

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 34:42

And there's no holds bar. Like I'm sure you guys will like talk lots about the politics. And for those people that are interested in politics in Santa Rosa County, you will not want to miss the city.

SPEAKER_00 34:53

We're gonna talk about the commissioner's race and what's going on that with that, and um you know, uh who's who's running, and and you know, some of the candidates we're gonna talk about that. Um and uh yeah, I'm sure we'll talk local stuff and and what's going on north of the county. He's he's way up north in the J area. Chamukla.

SPEAKER_01 35:15

And we're in the south, so you know, the north of the country.

SPEAKER_00 35:18

Between us and him, we've got the whole county. We own it, we'll do whatever, you know. You have to come to us if you need anything.

SPEAKER_01 35:26

Yeah, he might give you some he might give you some tips on how to run for county commissioner, too.

SPEAKER_00 35:30

He would be, yeah, he would be my choice to help me with my campaign for sure, because he's got a lot of connections and uh yeah, so we'll see what happens.

SPEAKER_01 35:39

Yeah, when you run from when you run in the north, this is my two two cents. And you know, I told you I wouldn't tell politics, but here's my two cents. And I'm gonna say this now if you live in the north and you're running for county commissioner in the north, they know you. You need to get to the south because people don't know you, and the same holds true for the south. Yeah, but if you if people know you in the south, you need to get up north because it seems like that's a very separate group of people. And like we talked about in the past on the podcast, it's the whole county that votes, it's not your section, it's not your district, it's the whole county. So you might be real popular in the north, nobody knows you in the south, and they'll just keep voting the incumbent in, you know, because they don't know any better, anyways.

SPEAKER_00 36:24

Navarre has a lot of people in it now. That used to be what 45,000 people. I think it's closer to 50 to 55 now. So if you don't have a connection in the south between golf breeze and Navarre, you're not gonna you're not gonna get elected. I mean, um, Carrie Smith was a perfect example, you know. He spent a lot of time down in the south end of the county uh when he was running. And um, so yeah, only makes sense, right? Yeah, you gotta work the whole county.

SPEAKER_01 36:53

So but that will be for next week, and we're gonna stop it from there. Um, because I don't like to talk politics. I did my one day.

SPEAKER_00 37:01

She let me talk politics one time.

SPEAKER_01 37:03

Yeah, he well, he talks it all the time. I just you know choose to not I ignore him. He starts talking. I mean, you know, yeah. It's just not my it's not my thing.

SPEAKER_00 37:13

I mean, I don't get obsessed with it anymore, but you you have to keep up with it. You what they their decisions affect your life on a daily basis. And if you don't keep up with it and you don't say something to them when they're making a bad decision, like the speed cameras in the school zones, Mr. Commissioners. I'm so disappointed in all five of you. That was a disgusting, idiotic decision, and it's pissed me off. The less the last thing we need is more surveillance from the government. That's the last thing we need. If we need to hire more police, let's do it. We don't need cameras in the school zones. I'm sorry, but that's the way I feel.

SPEAKER_01 37:54

Well, I'm glad you just got that off your chest. I felt like you held that on, like we've been doing this for like 40 minutes, 30 minutes, and you were like just getting it off the chest. No, I got off the chest.

SPEAKER_00 38:04

That was just I was we can close the session now.

SPEAKER_01 38:06

Okay, you're done? You're done ranting? Okay, well, that's good. So, yeah, just join us next week with Tommy Nichols. Hopefully, he'll be able to make it out this way. I'll have to go pick him up an hour away from Schmucklah and bring him back down here if I have to, and um, and find out more about what's going on and all the poor decisions that are going on in this county and poor decisions in our personal lives. And uh, we are happy that you guys joined us today. And if you like this episode, share it, like it, comment on it. And uh, we're gonna talk about maybe doing like some free gifts for people that care, comment, share, and stuff. We'll do some like send out some wine for our like a contestant. We'll like make it a we'll make it fun. I love boys love giving away things. Nice, yeah. I'm a giver. So we'll uh put some nice wine basket together for the person that watches the episodes and shares the most and comments and likes us. So yeah, you like that? I like that. I know I just came up with that.
