Speaker 1
All right, here we go. So here I want to show you something. I got it. I got two things I want to show you here. Let me get my screen sharing capabilities going. Actually, I got three things. I got a lot of I got a lot of stuff to show you here.

00;00;28;27 - 00;00;30;19
Speaker 2
So let's go to.

00;00;31;09 - 00;00;40;24
Speaker 1
Screen share the screen. Here we go.

00;00;43;09 - 00;00;44;04
Speaker 1
All right. You see that?

00;00;44;26 - 00;00;45;05
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00;00;45;18 - 00;00;46;15
Speaker 1
See you. Mark Hamill.

00;00;47;02 - 00;00;47;13
Speaker 3
Mm hmm.

00;00;47;24 - 00;01;06;28
Speaker 1
Okay. Let's play. Play. God damn it.

00;01;11;12 - 00;01;36;22
Speaker 1
Oh, man. I love. I love the over on there. So for you that aren't seeing this on YouTube, that are on the RSS feed. So it was basically the scene from a New Hope where Luke's Skywalker, ask Obi-Wan Kenobi, what's the force? But instead of Obi-Wan Kenobi, it's it's Theo Vine, given that exact speech right there. And it's just hilarious.

00;01;36;23 - 00;01;42;17
Speaker 1
The hand movements with his head, just the seriousness is perfect.

00;01;43;14 - 00;01;47;03
Speaker 2
At the out of his mind. I love them, but.

00;01;49;08 - 00;01;49;19
Speaker 1
They're.

00;01;49;21 - 00;01;50;17
Speaker 2
Just crazy.

00;01;51;29 - 00;02;24;09
Speaker 1
Well, it reminds me of Eric Andre's the LSD thing feeding the the town retarded kid LSD and then locking hands and saying nightmare a bunch of times cures, retardation. There's some other there's this one comedian. I forget who his name is, but he tells this joke about being Irish. So basically he said he had a friend like there is a friend in his group growing up that was that had Down's syndrome.

00;02;25;02 - 00;02;44;18
Speaker 1
But the mom denied it in like they're like some Boston, you know, kids. And so the mom with this Boston accent, it's like, nah, he retired and he he's got he's fucking Irish or something like that. There's this whole fucking spiel about it. I don't know. I love it though.

00;02;44;23 - 00;02;45;16
Speaker 2
Is weird.

00;02;46;07 - 00;02;56;26
Speaker 1
Yeah. All right. All right. So here's the next one I got for you. This is. This is the real deal. Let me. Or am I still sharing?

00;02;57;17 - 00;02;57;25
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00;02;58;15 - 00;03;02;00
Speaker 1
Oh, that's amazing. But it's not working.

00;03;03;04 - 00;03;06;25
Speaker 2
Here we go. He says Carl.

00;03;06;25 - 00;03;09;03
Speaker 1
Weathers. Rest in peace, my friend.

00;03;10;18 - 00;03;12;29
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00;03;18;01 - 00;03;50;04
Speaker 1
Again, for the people driving in their car to work. Listening of this, it's Carl Weathers from Bill. That was a happy Gilmore right at the end. So basically, it's just a montage of Carl Weathers movies right now. We got some Apollo Creed action is training with Rocky right now. So it's got to be ridiculous. America Camp on Dancing with James Brown.

00;03;50;04 - 00;03;51;08
Speaker 1
More Happy Gilmore.

00;03;52;24 - 00;03;55;02
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00;03;55;02 - 00;04;02;19
Speaker 1
Yeah, it's tragic, but I heard he died peacefully in his sleep. Dylan. Dylan.

00;04;02;19 - 00;04;04;27
Speaker 2
Baby one.

00;04;05;10 - 00;04;06;19
Speaker 1
Gimme some of that. Dylan.

00;04;08;09 - 00;04;12;11
Speaker 2
Yeah. I'd like to know what happened. Like, was it a heart attack or just.

00;04;12;16 - 00;04;13;07
Speaker 1
Most likely.

00;04;13;12 - 00;04;18;15
Speaker 2
What? I mean, it. It sucks, but I still like it. No.

00;04;19;00 - 00;04;20;12
Speaker 1
What was he dreaming about?

00;04;20;12 - 00;04;22;01
Speaker 2
It was just.

00;04;23;08 - 00;04;27;04
Speaker 1
Dreaming about Rocky. Like the next Rocky movie? Or was he dreams?

00;04;28;07 - 00;04;29;05
Speaker 2
I really doubt that.

00;04;29;21 - 00;04;42;09
Speaker 1
It's dreaming about the next Star Wars. I don't. I don't recall seeing any Star Wars clips in this. It was just all the all the movie classics.

00;04;42;19 - 00;04;53;28
Speaker 2
Yeah. I mean, the Star Wars clips are probably less because those movies was where when he was in his prime, you know, like the man was ripped up, like Rambo, you know?

00;04;55;17 - 00;04;56;00
Speaker 1
Yeah.

00;04;57;01 - 00;04;59;15
Speaker 2
And Mr. Weathers.

00;05;00;28 - 00;05;15;01
Speaker 1
Well, let's pull this up. What movies did he playing? Carl Weathers. How's the weather cooler? Carl Weathers. I just type in Carl Weathers.

00;05;19;06 - 00;05;28;06
Speaker 1
He's almost 80. He was like 76. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he wasn't almost 80, but he wasn't too fucking far.

00;05;28;28 - 00;05;29;08
Speaker 2
No.

00;05;30;26 - 00;05;42;11
Speaker 1
Right now they say The Mandalorian is the last thing he did. Greef karga. Or like I like to call it Magna Carta. Magna Carta is the Magna Carta.

00;05;46;14 - 00;06;03;20
Speaker 1
Yeah. So the artful escape video game, Toy Story is a bunch of boys, guys. Oh, here. Law and Order, baby. We were just talking about that last week. Yeah, he was a special victims unit.

00;06;05;11 - 00;06;09;25
Speaker 2
Was he a special victim or who knows?

00;06;09;26 - 00;06;41;12
Speaker 1
Or was he the. Or did you create the special victim you played in? Oh, no, no, no, no. So here there's a crossover with all those Chicago P.D. shows and shit. So he's as a mark Jefferies with Special Agent Mark Jefferies. So he must be like some FBI agent or some shit that goes on between those shows. So he was on Law and Order.

00;06;42;06 - 00;07;09;15
Speaker 1
He was on Chicago Justice, which I've never even heard of. But it I know, I figure it has something to do with the the Chicago series here because then the name is Chicago P.D. and then Chicago Fire. Yeah, dude, he was in the show. The car colony. It was called. That's why you've never seen that show. Oh, it's okay.

00;07;09;15 - 00;07;35;06
Speaker 1
So let me just pull that up. It's crazy. Okay, so it's about this alien race that comes and invades Earth. But the thing is, like, in the sixties, they sent, like, a message, and they they already established, like, a coup within the world. So, you know how we all say the deep state controls the world and all that?

00;07;35;25 - 00;07;36;04
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00;07;36;24 - 00;08;06;08
Speaker 1
Basically that's what it is, is like the deep state gets this message and then they or these people just end up forming a faction. And so when the invasion comes, really it's humans that just end up becomes like a totalitarian dictatorships sort of deal. But it's the aliens run everything and they make governors that run all these different districts with a beyond like the entire world.

00;08;07;03 - 00;08;31;25
Speaker 1
So all of earth has all these like giant walls. So like the first lake episode, you see, like all these giant walls, like basically it looks like all these spaceships coming in. Like, everybody's just standing there staring at it, but they're these giant walls that just land, and it separates everything. But, yeah, you never see any aliens, okay?

00;08;31;26 - 00;08;56;00
Speaker 1
In this entire thing. But it's like the entire world's become Nazi Germany again. And so, like, people are being rounded up, being, you know, pushed into labor camps and stuff if they're, you know, bad. So, like the moon, people get sent to the moon and shit. The only thing you ever see are these, like, drones, and these drones will fuck you up.

00;08;56;23 - 00;09;23;19
Speaker 1
There's, like, no, like, sympathy with them. They'll just shoot this, like, beam at you. But anyways, Carl Weathers played in this. He played I believe he played some kind of like police officer or some kind of detective that went underground. Once these because once these aliens came, they started taking over. Like they started taking out people, you know, like they started taking out people with military backgrounds and shit like that.

00;09;24;17 - 00;09;53;27
Speaker 1
And then basically the they recruited gangsters to be the new army. So like you have soldiers walking down the street with, you know, full, you know, tactical, but they're also masked. You know, you can't see their faces and shit. It's one of those things. So you don't know who your so your neighbor could technically be one of these oppressive fucking soldiers that beats the shit out of people all day just for, you know, staring at them.

00;09;54;27 - 00;10;22;29
Speaker 1
Yeah, it's a crazy show. Yeah. There's a lot of backstabbing and a lot of making tough choices to try to survive. But it's a good show. You should watch it. But I will say, like the last episode, because I think it lasted, it got canceled sort of deal. Yeah. So the last episode was terrible. It was like, dude, come on, you just like, ruined total.

00;10;22;29 - 00;10;53;19
Speaker 1
Yeah. You, like, totally, like, didn't answer any questions, just created more. And we're never going to know what happens. Yeah. So it was on like USA or something back is like 2016 to 2018. It starred Josh Holloway, Sarah Wayne Callies and Peter Jacobson.

00;10;53;19 - 00;10;54;11
Speaker 2
So nobody.

00;10;55;23 - 00;11;02;16
Speaker 1
Well, it wasn't Sarah Wayne Callies, the chick from Weeds.

00;11;02;16 - 00;11;03;25
Speaker 2
I never watched that show.

00;11;03;25 - 00;11;31;13
Speaker 1
Oh, no, no. They just look alike. All right. She was a needed dick in Letterkenny. Fucking love that show. There's this Amish family. They're called the Dick Family in like the whole deal is. When they show up, they say a bunch of things that sound very perverted, like we need our dicks back. Like their daughters ran away, like we need our dicks back.

00;11;31;18 - 00;11;36;09
Speaker 1
And they're like, Huh?

00;11;36;09 - 00;11;41;17
Speaker 2
I don't know about that. I never watched that show, too. And that was damn Canadians.

00;11;42;23 - 00;12;09;08
Speaker 1
I mean, it's hilarious. Fucking I love Shore's the better. Sure. You see, they're they're just a bunch of hockey players and it's just ridiculous. It's like what I like about sure is, is it's like the movie Slap Shot with Paul Newman. But like in this modern time and I think it's done better, like they tried Brent's slap shot back and it was terrible.

00;12;10;00 - 00;12;56;10
Speaker 1
I think it was. Yeah. Stephen Baldwin played the the Paul Newman character, the washed up, you know, old guy. But it was that movie was about a fucking it was like a Harlem Globetrotters hockey league that they all got sold to retarded and so that's why I'm saying yeah like Jersey it kind of gets to that that that Reggie Dunlap feeling but on the little sillier and more Canadian I will say like the Canadians are like they have weird inside jokes and weird whatevers.

00;12;56;17 - 00;13;26;09
Speaker 1
I can't explain it. It's just like these weird these weird tics that they have about them. Well, you know, the other interesting thing, too, about that is, is they bring in like so in Canada, like they they speak French, too, because for whatever reason I thought Great Britain random. But I guess the French did I don't know. It's fucking weird.

00;13;26;09 - 00;13;36;13
Speaker 1
But yeah like they like jump into like some people speak French and all that, but everybody understands and it's like that is kind of a weird culture to live in.

00;13;38;07 - 00;13;42;08
Speaker 2
Oh, they've got identity crisis. Like.

00;13;42;25 - 00;13;43;27
Speaker 1
Yeah, they're.

00;13;43;27 - 00;13;58;17
Speaker 2
They speak English, they speak French, some of them speak English and French. Well, I got the Queen of England on their money. It's like, Yeah, the hell are you? People like, figure it out. Like, pick a lane now.

00;13;58;19 - 00;14;24;15
Speaker 1
But my favorite line in that whole show is, Fuck you, my girls. Your girl followed me after the reverse of the perfect Canadian. She cleared the whole place out with the coke farts. I had to look that up because I'm like, The fuck's a coke fart? And apparently I've never done coke. But apparently when you do a bunch of coke, your body just has the shit.

00;14;25;25 - 00;14;30;08
Speaker 2
That's usually cut with baby laxatives.

00;14;30;08 - 00;15;08;29
Speaker 1
So yeah. GROSS Yeah. So, yeah, I guess, like, before the shitting has to happen. There's just like nasty ass farts that, you know, that start and then and then, yeah, the big dumb so dumb. That's what if that's what gets people going, that's. That's your thing. It's cool. I don't know the big dumb, the big dumb. That should be the next movie casting and it's that website again called I don't know.

00;15;10;00 - 00;15;18;04
Speaker 1
Oh he he played so basically Carl Weathers he played Chubbs in Little Nicky.

00;15;18;04 - 00;15;21;07
Speaker 2
No. And Happy Gilmore.

00;15;21;26 - 00;15;34;13
Speaker 1
No, they didn't. They they created I mean, Happy Gilmore, of course. But they also show him as Chubbs. So they must have had a cameo in Little Nicky. Really. Yeah. Well, after.

00;15;34;15 - 00;15;42;23
Speaker 2
Oh yeah. Cause he's with all those girls up in heaven. I forgot about that.

00;15;42;23 - 00;15;46;16
Speaker 1
But definitely Chubbs was created in Happy Gilmore. Yeah.

00;15;47;03 - 00;15;47;14
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00;15;47;28 - 00;16;26;16
Speaker 1
I'm just reading it from the future to the past. So that was my bad. I bet. There, everybody. The Predator fortune. Dane, I almost want to see that. That looks pretty fucking weird. Oh, he stars in it, too. Fortune Dane is about a detective that is in charge with tracking down a hitman. Look at him in their sweat pants, but rest in peace, Carl and miss you.

00;16;26;16 - 00;16;28;02
Speaker 2
Yeah, that was a that's a tough one.

00;16;28;19 - 00;16;28;29
Speaker 1
Yeah.

00;16;29;16 - 00;16;46;15
Speaker 2
I love Carl Weathers. I wanted to meet him when he was at the Fan Expo in 2022, but I never got a chance and never the money. And I wasn't going to a firm, financial firm with the firm. Yeah.

00;16;47;01 - 00;16;48;05
Speaker 1
No, the truth.

00;16;48;05 - 00;16;52;00
Speaker 2
Is, it would have been worth it. It would have been. The truth is. I would have got.

00;16;52;08 - 00;16;57;07
Speaker 1
The truth is we put in our applications for a firm and they denied us said no.

00;16;58;25 - 00;17;01;27
Speaker 2
But I didn't want to pay the 35% interest rate on it.

00;17;02;06 - 00;17;08;06
Speaker 1
Yeah. Huh. And I didn't want to pay for my house for collateral.

00;17;09;05 - 00;17;10;16
Speaker 2
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

00;17;10;24 - 00;17;23;28
Speaker 1
All that. So no, that's, that sucks. Like, I would love to go see, like, meet those people and shit, but it's just like, I'd rather. I don't know, man. It's.

00;17;24;04 - 00;17;25;03
Speaker 2
It's hard. It's.

00;17;26;11 - 00;17;49;11
Speaker 1
Yeah, I get it. It is their time, you know what I mean? Like, at the same time, it's like they don't owe us anything. So it's like, I can't be mad that I can't just, like, meet these people for free and shit, but like it, they really does suck because it's just like, you know, it could be like $100 just to, like, get him to sign a fucking picture.

00;17;49;11 - 00;18;00;07
Speaker 1
You provide or something, you know what I mean? I don't know what it was, but it's frickin. What about Michael J. Fox?

00;18;00;07 - 00;18;04;08
Speaker 2
It's $275 for an autograph.

00;18;05;10 - 00;18;09;20
Speaker 1
And just like they have, like, a. Hey, how are you doing? Nice to meet you.

00;18;10;20 - 00;18;11;09
Speaker 2
Just right up.

00;18;11;17 - 00;18;13;01
Speaker 1
Yeah, yeah. See you.

00;18;13;01 - 00;18;17;22
Speaker 2
Later. You know, I'm. He's signed some shit, and then you're gone, or you do this, like, um.

00;18;18;09 - 00;18;20;13
Speaker 1
The photo op, right? You could do that.

00;18;21;02 - 00;18;22;19
Speaker 2
Yeah, that was expensive.

00;18;23;27 - 00;18;33;10
Speaker 1
But, like, how did that work out? Did you actually get, like, a moment to talk to him? Or was it like, you get pushed there and then yeah, he, you know.

00;18;33;28 - 00;18;46;28
Speaker 2
Next. Yeah. Yeah. I was like the Santa Clause at and I if I think of that movie Christmas Story.

00;18;47;10 - 00;18;48;06
Speaker 1
Oh right.

00;18;48;06 - 00;18;55;27
Speaker 2
Yeah yeah kid. And they like kick him and he's gone. Like there was a slide next to Michael J. Fox that you get pushed down.

00;18;55;27 - 00;19;01;07
Speaker 1
Imagine that happened today. Like, if somebody just, like, kicked your fucking kid down a slide.

00;19;02;25 - 00;19;05;06
Speaker 2
Probably more kids need to be kicked down a slide.

00;19;05;06 - 00;19;16;23
Speaker 1
They probably do. But like, you know what would happen? There'd be like another fucking, like, movement of riot and shit, like, I dare you. Yeah, yeah. Fuck.

00;19;16;23 - 00;19;18;12
Speaker 2
What about.

00;19;19;28 - 00;19;21;08
Speaker 1
What's going on in Chicago.

00;19;21;08 - 00;19;30;24
Speaker 2
Bro? Have you heard of the famous rat hole on Roscoe Street?

00;19;31;08 - 00;19;33;22
Speaker 1
I have actually. That's fucking.

00;19;34;10 - 00;20;01;28
Speaker 2
That's a pretty crazy story. Yeah. So apparently there's, like, some rat hole that's been around for years. Like, we're talking 20 or 30 years that it's been on West West Roscoe Street in Chicago. So it is literally a hole in the ground that looks like a rat, like it's, you know, like those cartoons where like they run through a wall and it looks like the picture, you know.

00;20;01;28 - 00;20;02;03
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00;20;02;03 - 00;20;02;28
Speaker 1
And there's like.

00;20;03;22 - 00;20;09;06
Speaker 2
Yeah, this looks like a like a rat. Or they're thinking it might be a squirrel.

00;20;10;16 - 00;20;12;07
Speaker 1
Basically, when they caught.

00;20;12;07 - 00;20;12;21
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00;20;12;21 - 00;20;18;21
Speaker 1
When they poured the concrete, it fell on their like in a flat way and then the impact just stayed.

00;20;19;13 - 00;20;26;00
Speaker 2
Yes, yes. But it's been there for like 20 or 30 years and it's like timing.

00;20;26;14 - 00;20;28;25
Speaker 1
Like you can never get to cement that fast.

00;20;29;16 - 00;20;51;02
Speaker 2
Yeah. So apparently this has been like a like a gym for these people. Like, they have like little vigils that they set up there. Yeah, it's like they, you know, throw coins in it. Like it's a wishing well. And so apparently, like, recently, somebody tried filling it.

00;20;52;11 - 00;20;55;11
Speaker 1
Yeah, no, some vandals came. Yeah, that's what I heard.

00;20;55;12 - 00;21;05;09
Speaker 2
Yeah, yeah. So locals, though, like, dug it back out and got it to its original state. Like, that's how much people care about this stupid.

00;21;05;26 - 00;21;12;13
Speaker 1
Hole they hired, like an archeologist, somebody that, like, sat there with, like, a fucking brush and just, like.

00;21;13;19 - 00;21;14;29
Speaker 2
Weathered it away.

00;21;15;04 - 00;21;18;29
Speaker 1
Until they got to, like, admit, you know, no original.

00;21;18;29 - 00;21;34;01
Speaker 2
Apparently, it's just some lady. So some were this lady that was in the right area. Some lady says eventually a woman cleaned out the whole and restored it to original condition. It doesn't say like who.

00;21;34;22 - 00;21;35;04
Speaker 1
Yeah, but.

00;21;36;00 - 00;22;02;04
Speaker 2
So like this was just recently we're talking like January 19th. Yeah, a couple of weeks ago. So they restored it and then somebody had their gay wedding over. It's just they took the you have their own ceremony next to this whole like why what's wrong with these people?

00;22;03;14 - 00;22;04;11
Speaker 1
They just it's.

00;22;04;19 - 00;22;06;20
Speaker 3
It's.

00;22;06;20 - 00;22;15;29
Speaker 1
You know, it's like one of those things. It's just like, I don't know, man. It becomes a part of you, man.

00;22;16;24 - 00;22;17;18
Speaker 3
Yeah. I don't know.

00;22;19;00 - 00;22;23;04
Speaker 2
I guess it's just like people. I don't know. People are weird.

00;22;23;22 - 00;22;55;07
Speaker 1
Like. No, I mean, it's just like, it's probably it's probably somebody that grew up around this, right? And is part of the law, you know, you know, people like to do weird things for their wedding. Some people like to do things that are just, like, out of the norm. Now, that's weird. I'm not going along like I'm like, hey, let's all meet up on the sidewalk here on the corner of Roscoe and whatever and and get married, get hitched here.

00;22;56;00 - 00;23;08;02
Speaker 1
Oh, you know, somebody out there thought it was creative. They did it. I gave it to them. I'm glad they did it for me. You know what I mean? They tested it. Did it work?

00;23;08;02 - 00;23;08;16
Speaker 2
Yes.

00;23;08;26 - 00;23;09;23
Speaker 1
They got married.

00;23;10;09 - 00;23;13;18
Speaker 2
So it worked. Yeah. I don't know. It's just.

00;23;14;03 - 00;23;14;22
Speaker 1
It's tested.

00;23;14;22 - 00;23;15;20
Speaker 2
Those ideas so.

00;23;15;20 - 00;23;19;26
Speaker 1
Long it lasts. So it was a gay couple?

00;23;19;26 - 00;23;20;08
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00;23;20;28 - 00;23;23;18
Speaker 1
See how long it lasts? Yeah.

00;23;24;03 - 00;23;35;17
Speaker 2
They went to each other's right hall after the ceremony. It's just weird, though. Like, why? I don't know. People are weird.

00;23;36;21 - 00;23;43;12
Speaker 1
Yeah. No, I'm just. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I just. Somebody thought it was clever, but I wouldn't do it.

00;23;45;03 - 00;23;53;03
Speaker 2
I just thought it was a strange thing that, like, doesn't it find at all to be some kind of, like, special thing?

00;23;53;03 - 00;24;03;15
Speaker 1
Well, I'm pretty sure it has. I didn't like the city put like a plaque by it, so now it's considered like a street landmark or some shit. I'm pretty sure that that did happen.

00;24;04;13 - 00;24;05;15
Speaker 2
There's a possibility.

00;24;05;23 - 00;24;12;02
Speaker 1
Yeah, there is. Or unless it was a neighborhood funded project and they put their own.

00;24;12;15 - 00;24;12;26
Speaker 2
Flag.

00;24;13;21 - 00;24;23;04
Speaker 1
Totally. But I'm pretty sure I thought the city did do something like that. I thought they. I thought people petitioning. Got it.

00;24;23;26 - 00;24;36;26
Speaker 2
Yeah. Look, if the pride of your neighborhood is a whole that looks like a rat, like they probably need to move out of that town. I don't know. It's just.

00;24;36;26 - 00;24;58;24
Speaker 1
I don't. Yeah. I mean, Jerrod, there's pretty ghetto neighborhoods out there that you can look up on Google and they'll tell you that they're they're loaded with restaurants and pubs and all you can all you can do entertainment and all that shit. But it really there's not a fucking restaurant in sight and there's probably more crack dealers on the corner than you can imagine.

00;25;00;12 - 00;25;12;02
Speaker 2
So I don't know. Let's let's let's go to the rat hole today. Take a look at it.

00;25;12;14 - 00;25;21;26
Speaker 1
Hey, look, we're going. Go. Hey, what do you want to do? We're visiting Chicago. Oh, let's go to the rat hole.

00;25;21;26 - 00;25;22;07
Speaker 3
Yeah.

00;25;23;21 - 00;25;27;24
Speaker 1
Somebody took a mold of it. So I think you can like by, like, the rat hole.

00;25;29;25 - 00;25;35;12
Speaker 2
Apparently, you can get, like, tattoos of it, too. Like, numerous people have gotten tattoos of the rat hole.

00;25;37;00 - 00;25;46;15
Speaker 1
Yeah, that's like, almost makes you wonder if there's, like, an underground society. Now, the rat hole people, you know.

00;25;46;21 - 00;25;48;05
Speaker 2
Like the like the charts.

00;25;49;02 - 00;26;01;13
Speaker 1
Yeah, well, I mean, like, they're not like. I'm just saying, like, maybe they they throw on robes or something. They meet up in, like, you know, some kind of building, like have some seances or some shit.

00;26;01;13 - 00;26;02;02
Speaker 2
Oh, like.

00;26;02;24 - 00;26;25;29
Speaker 1
You know, like, or maybe there's like a underground consortium of people that, like, manage, like, the rat hole in, like, you know, like maybe they're trying to become like the new, like, Freemasons, like the rat hole people, you know, that's kind of what I'm feeling.

00;26;25;29 - 00;26;29;01
Speaker 2
I don't know. Maybe. I think that's a stretch, though.

00;26;29;02 - 00;26;47;14
Speaker 1
Like, I wonder if, like, okay, like, you want to move in the neighborhood to like, I wonder if you get like interviewed and shit, like to see if you're fit to be in the rat hole neighborhood. Like, I think that like violates a bunch of like things with like real estate and all that. But like, I bet that's what happens.

00;26;47;14 - 00;26;53;13
Speaker 1
Like, you want to move on that street. Yeah, you got to get in. Or maybe that.

00;26;54;06 - 00;26;59;16
Speaker 2
Maybe you have to, like, cut your hand and drip some blood into the wall of your so that you can be.

00;26;59;29 - 00;27;01;09
Speaker 1
Yeah. Yeah.

00;27;01;11 - 00;27;02;13
Speaker 2
I mean, weird that.

00;27;02;18 - 00;27;37;01
Speaker 1
That's what you get. That's what they do. Tell everybody, tell everybody, everybody. Cut your hand. But yeah. So they it's weird. It's weird. I'll give it that and give it that for sure. So look at this fucking thing I saw on my I think I was on like a patch website or something. Just reading some news.

00;27;37;29 - 00;27;39;18
Speaker 2
Mm hmm.

00;27;39;18 - 00;27;54;10
Speaker 1
So I'm going to pop this up here. I think it will. I you'll have to tell me who the actress is. I forget your fucking name, and I should have looked it up. It's Save the last dance.

00;27;54;10 - 00;27;55;22
Speaker 2
Oh, whatever. Stiles.

00;27;55;27 - 00;27;58;26
Speaker 1
Yeah. Julia Stiles.

00;27;59;20 - 00;28;00;03
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00;28;00;13 - 00;28;24;17
Speaker 1
Ah, so it's a picture. Julia Stiles here in like. Let's read what the caption says. She was a Hollywood star. Now she works a 9 to 5 in Tinley Park. And I'm like, looking at this like, come on, I didn't pick it up. I do. I do. Click it. No, I didn't look it up. I knew it was clickbait.

00;28;24;22 - 00;28;49;05
Speaker 1
So I clicked on it to see what it was, what it was leading you to. And it was just it's like 30 of the the top 30 stars that like, you know, went from acting and now do other things. You know, the usual suspects from there, like fucking the dude from like, ah, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

00;28;49;17 - 00;29;07;25
Speaker 1
The kid played. Yeah, Woody, Kyle, Charlie, fucking Jonathan Taylor, Thomas. And then who's the other dude that was on that show? The middle child or the not the middle child. The youngest it was Mark is the.

00;29;08;03 - 00;29;10;05
Speaker 2
Zachary, Ty, Bryan or whatever.

00;29;10;06 - 00;29;17;16
Speaker 1
No, Trevor, no, no. That's the fucking guy on the The Daily Show. Guy. No, it's something.

00;29;17;16 - 00;29;20;03
Speaker 2
Noah Yeah.

00;29;20;16 - 00;29;43;04
Speaker 1
He, he played. Mark He played the youngest blond haired kid, but he's another. He, his was weird. He's like, I got out of acting because I didn't, like, feel like I was like an actor. I didn't like, like acting or something, but he became a carpenter and he's like an I'll never be anything else ever again. Okay. Yeah.

00;29;44;26 - 00;29;47;13
Speaker 2
Okay. That was really a loss for the industry.

00;29;47;28 - 00;30;01;19
Speaker 1
No, no, no, no, no. Well, they show like Gene Hackman on there. Like, I didn't really realize, like, he took a break from acting. I just he's old, you know what I mean?

00;30;01;19 - 00;30;05;11
Speaker 2
Like, yeah, that's not a quit acting or you're just retired.

00;30;06;03 - 00;30;23;07
Speaker 1
I mean, it's even still I've. I didn't look that up, but he apparently he's made a bunch of novels after calling it quits. They said like 2004. Or maybe I have that wrong, maybe it's 2014.

00;30;24;13 - 00;30;32;02
Speaker 2
But I mean, either way, I mean, going from an actor to a writer isn't really like, oh, you got a 9 to 5?

00;30;33;24 - 00;30;42;01
Speaker 1
Yeah, no, no. I mean, this is just the stupid clickbait shit, dude. I just think it's very it's how they do this. And like, he.

00;30;42;01 - 00;30;44;18
Speaker 2
Is still alive and he's 94.

00;30;45;00 - 00;30;46;27
Speaker 1
And he's writing. He's an author.

00;30;47;19 - 00;30;49;05
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00;30;49;05 - 00;30;50;11
Speaker 1
So fucking.

00;30;50;11 - 00;30;51;09
Speaker 2
He looks horrible.

00;30;51;21 - 00;30;52;08
Speaker 1
Wow.

00;30;53;05 - 00;30;54;25
Speaker 2
It looks like really horrible.

00;30;55;06 - 00;30;56;04
Speaker 1
That's what happens.

00;30;56;04 - 00;31;03;08
Speaker 2
I mean, like, you wouldn't even know. You wouldn't even know it was him.

00;31;03;08 - 00;31;16;24
Speaker 1
Like the Lex Luthor. Lex Luthor is now a writer. He was. He was the original Lex Luthor. And you that gets curly hair. And then he went bald.

00;31;16;27 - 00;31;17;26
Speaker 2
Wasn't that a wig?

00;31;18;21 - 00;31;25;00
Speaker 1
It was. You're right. Yeah, he was bald, but.

00;31;25;05 - 00;31;29;12
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00;31;29;12 - 00;31;40;22
Speaker 1
So, yeah. What else is going on in the world? Fucking bombs going off in Syria, doing.

00;31;40;22 - 00;31;41;17
Speaker 2
That's nothing new.

00;31;42;07 - 00;31;47;10
Speaker 1
No, it isn't. But like the way they were, it like that was the retaliation.

00;31;48;26 - 00;31;51;21
Speaker 3
Yeah, yeah.

00;31;52;11 - 00;32;01;23
Speaker 1
Yeah. I don't know what else is going on. How's your weekend been going?

00;32;01;23 - 00;32;22;03
Speaker 2
Gerard It's pretty slow, really slow weekend. But that's good fucking week. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. It's, we're in this really in-between weather pattern here. Oh, so.

00;32;23;00 - 00;32;35;27
Speaker 1
That's actually something the groundhog didn't see a shadow. So that means summer or spring is coming early.

00;32;35;27 - 00;32;38;01
Speaker 2
So when does spring start then?

00;32;39;14 - 00;32;42;18
Speaker 1
Well, I don't know.

00;32;42;19 - 00;32;46;13
Speaker 2
Is it supposed to be, what, six more weeks of winter or something?

00;32;46;13 - 00;32;48;17
Speaker 1
Yeah. So, like four weeks of winter.

00;32;49;21 - 00;33;13;06
Speaker 2
Yeah. So, like, this guy's predicting two week differential. Like, that's really just from a shadow that's wrong with people. We're talking about a rat hole, people getting married and throwing coins. And now there's, you know, even more of a following for people, for a stupid groundhog that they think can predict weather. Like, what does this have to do?

00;33;13;06 - 00;33;14;23
Speaker 2
Who came up with these things?

00;33;16;02 - 00;33;39;18
Speaker 1
Yeah, this is like law from like 1700s. Okay. Yeah. Now, what I love about the groundhog is, is the groundhog has never died. According to the the consortium of groundhog people. I love that word today from whatever. But no. Yeah, that's that's what they're telling people that this groundhog has never died. And we all know that's fucking bullshit.

00;33;39;18 - 00;34;08;07
Speaker 1
It's like. Like, why don't you just, like, retire them, you know? But no, they die, and then they replace them and then they're like, oh yeah, he's 200 years old. He's magic. It's like, if he fucking dies, then like the whole thing can never be done ever again. If, like, if they actually a kid now it's like that thing fucking dies and then like the whole groundhog thing, like, ends over there.

00;34;08;07 - 00;34;15;01
Speaker 1
I would just start it here in Chicago. I'd be like, Oh, we got a new groundhog and it doesn't matter.

00;34;15;04 - 00;34;28;20
Speaker 2
Like it officially started in 1877, yet it was that tradition that was brought over by immigrants that had been happening for long before that.

00;34;28;20 - 00;34;29;11
Speaker 1
Okay.

00;34;29;19 - 00;34;30;11
Speaker 2
Okay. Well.

00;34;31;00 - 00;34;49;15
Speaker 1
That makes sense. That's why they wear the stupid fucking hats that look like it's from the Christmas Carol. You know what I mean? I'm like, When did fucking people in the United States ever wear hats? No, they were like Stetsons and fucking other fedoras and shit.

00;34;49;19 - 00;34;55;20
Speaker 2
I did. I mean, those late 1800s, maybe it was a style.

00;34;56;11 - 00;35;06;21
Speaker 1
Maybe we had better hats. I'm just saying we had better hats. I guess Abe Lincoln had that tall one, but I'm telling you.

00;35;06;22 - 00;35;09;23
Speaker 2
Yeah, exactly. It's about the same time frame. I mean, see.

00;35;09;24 - 00;35;15;29
Speaker 1
Like the only one back then that ever wore that hat. Was he like, the guy that wore that had.

00;35;17;06 - 00;35;34;07
Speaker 2
No, I, I think a lot of people, you know, in the mid to late 1800s like officials people or those types of hats like they had cowboy hats but you had to go you know that was more western. You know, you go out west and that's where you had.

00;35;34;15 - 00;35;36;07
Speaker 1
A lot of cowboy hat.

00;35;38;00 - 00;35;46;18
Speaker 2
I need you to go have one made like where they take it and like they put a toothpick in it and then steam it in front of you and my hair and like make it.

00;35;46;29 - 00;35;51;14
Speaker 1
I can't afford that. That's probably like 1000 bucks on the spot, right?

00;35;51;15 - 00;36;15;12
Speaker 2
Oh, about. I bet you it's like 600 bucks. 5 to 6. You still can't charge you $1,000 to fucking make a hat like the felt that you have that it's made out of. Can't be that expensive. I know you're paying for the service, but shit, thousand dollars.

00;36;15;12 - 00;36;20;09
Speaker 1
I don't know. I don't fucking know.

00;36;20;09 - 00;36;20;22
Speaker 2
You don't.

00;36;21;12 - 00;36;31;06
Speaker 1
But I. So we got like a half hour here. You want to talk about some fucking alien shit?

00;36;31;06 - 00;36;33;02
Speaker 2
I have. You want to talk about alien stuff?

00;36;33;12 - 00;36;40;21
Speaker 1
I do want to talk about aliens stuff, man. This this guy, Billy Carson, was on the Sean Ryan Show.

00;36;40;21 - 00;36;42;19
Speaker 2
Make a strong Ryan show.

00;36;43;16 - 00;37;06;25
Speaker 1
You never heard of the Sean Ryan Show? There's no like, okay, so it's this like ex-CIA guy that started this podcast or interview show thing that he's just been posting on YouTube for. Like, I don't know. It's seems like been doing it for like the past year now. I don't know. I started watching him like last year. Like there are some like cool people on there.

00;37;06;25 - 00;37;43;07
Speaker 1
Like some interesting things like there's this do that are Chris back this one's the Chris Beck stories weird fucking one this guy was a Navy Navy SEAL fucking awesome soldier gets out gets into contracting it does a lot of like contracting work doing like like research and design. He claims he was making an Iron Man type suit, but he designed one that didn't need to be like £1,000, in that it was based off of a fat person.

00;37;43;26 - 00;38;09;06
Speaker 1
So a fat person's like they realized like the body is somehow holding that up. Why is that? You know? And that's how he figured it out. But apparently the government wants Iron Man. It's something fucking weird. But here's the thing. He became a transgender, okay? So he was making the switch to being a woman, which was fucking weird.

00;38;09;06 - 00;38;36;22
Speaker 1
When you hear this story, you're like, why? Why would you like? But like, there are some reasons for it, but like anyways then he fucking realized like he no, I'm out, I can't do this. And he, he, he went back to being a male and he felt it was because he like a mental illness that just wasn't resolved and he basically made like this crazy impulse to become a woman.

00;38;37;21 - 00;38;38;14
Speaker 3
Mm.

00;38;38;14 - 00;39;02;10
Speaker 1
And it's really fucked up. And now he just says his life is kind of just fucked up. Now it's, it's like he's not, it's not as confusing, but it's still kind of confusing, you know, but like, it's not that he thought he was a woman he wanted to be because he was abused as a child when his sister never got a finger laid on him.

00;39;02;24 - 00;39;28;21
Speaker 1
That's what I got out of it. That is probably why he did it. But anyways, he said other people, Dr. Greer's been on there. There's this CIA guy called R or Agent X, Agent Andrew Pass the Master. He had some really good insight on like China and all that shit. That guy from Antarctica was on there and all that.

00;39;28;21 - 00;39;54;19
Speaker 1
You should check it out. I mean, like, some of the shit's kind of weird, but otherwise there's like a lot of seals and shit that go on there, but then there's like some crazy, like, this UFO shit on there too, so. And yeah, so he had this guy Billy Carson on there and Billy Carson, he's got this thing called forbidden knowledge, but like he's done a lot of research.

00;39;54;19 - 00;40;25;00
Speaker 1
I guess he has like a, a background in astrophysics and like engineering and all that shit went to M.I.T., Harvard, but like, he got really into, like, the pyramids of Egypt and all that. So he's got a lot of insight on like like what the pyramids are like. Exactly. Some of the shit we've talked about them being like these energy power plants, but sometimes they're they're not not all the pyramids reacted the same way.

00;40;25;00 - 00;40;57;23
Speaker 1
Some were power, some were like healing somewhere, like communications and shit. But like, he talks about, like, all this shit, like how like so he kind of debunks, like, the whole slave thing and how they built the pyramids. He doesn't have an exact answer, but he thinks it was all done with vibrations and frequency. So you're able to vibrate that.

00;40;58;19 - 00;41;42;06
Speaker 1
I think it's what, 15 ton rock or block or whatever, and then you're able to push it along because there wasn't like any like trees or anything in the area and all that crap. So it's not like you could roll it, you know, you put the black on the wood and roll it up and like to build the ramps out of mud would actually just out they would have to be bigger than the pyramid itself, like to support all that so like he kind of talks about that and like but like he gets into these things called like the the emerald tablets and this is the crazy shit because like the emerald tablets, there's like

00;41;42;06 - 00;42;10;14
Speaker 1
so many of them, they're like found throughout. They were found throughout the world and they've been translated and shit. And it's like this being like though or something like that. You don't really know where he's from, but like he's from a race that they would call the gods. Okay, this is kind of like Stargate shit. Okay. If you're familiar with the show, Stargate, they don't talk about this guy, but or the emerald tablets.

00;42;10;14 - 00;42;40;05
Speaker 1
But, you know, you'll get into who like, right? Well, this person, though, is supposed to be like every guy that every religion has ever, you know, whatever they call them. So, you know, Christians called God, God, right? And then, you know, other religions have other names for what their God is. Yeah. So like though is supposed to be those people.

00;42;41;12 - 00;43;12;03
Speaker 1
It's just like so he's gone to civilization, to civilization and introduced himself as different people or they've just called them different things and they get translated into these bibles and all that shit is does that make sense? So basically the guy has multiple identities and yeah, he's the guy that gave the knowledge on how to build the pyramids and then like where to build them.

00;43;12;08 - 00;43;39;24
Speaker 1
And that's why you're seeing them all over the world because he went to different civilizations. And so I guess, like to, like what's crazy is like South America, like all those pyramids that they they found, like those weren't built by the Mayans or the Aztecs. They were built by a civilization that was influenced by this, though person. And so, like, here's the other thing.

00;43;39;24 - 00;44;01;23
Speaker 1
So you know how I was telling you about before about Sedona and how I think like that's like an old city from a very long past time that's been flooded over and, you know, said underwater for millions of years. And then fucking because of that, basically the ice age.

00;44;02;16 - 00;44;04;05
Speaker 2
Giant mudslide that happened that.

00;44;04;20 - 00;44;37;10
Speaker 1
Not that but I'm talking about when when the ice age ended basically a big chunk of water burst. And that's what created like the Grand Canyon and all that shit. And that's when all the water pretty much left the West Coast and the West Coast warmed. I think like like this like it could be all related because like the other thing about these pyramids, they're all in where so some people thought it was fault lines that they're on.

00;44;37;10 - 00;44;52;25
Speaker 1
But this Billy Carson guy says like what it is is like it's an energy grid that's around the planet. And it's basically the points where the meg, I guess it's like where the magnetic field like whips out on the planet or something like that.

00;44;53;09 - 00;44;53;20
Speaker 2
Okay.

00;44;54;05 - 00;45;21;02
Speaker 1
So there's all these spots on the planet that have these and like so Egypt would be one of them where the Aztec, you know, pyramid is, would be one of them Easter Island. So the moai statutes and so what he was saying about the Moai statues are is there's actually like a fucking body that's like 50 meters down or something like that.

00;45;21;02 - 00;45;44;08
Speaker 1
So all you see are the heads. But like, apparently there's actually a body that's like encased under the ground now. I don't know. Like, that's the thing about him. He's very confident in what he says. Yeah. So you don't know if he's just pulling shit out of his butt or there's actually, like, hard core science behind it. But I yeah.

00;45;45;00 - 00;46;22;28
Speaker 1
This though thing though, the emerald tablets like so this is like where like Jesus Christ gets involved with this apparently. And so like Christianity believes him to be the son of God, but really he's this dude that like supposedly he was just kind of like traveling to learn more knowledge and he traveled to Egypt like disappeared for like many years and apparently he was he studied these tablets and that's how he learned how to like heal people and shit like that.

00;46;22;28 - 00;46;43;25
Speaker 1
So it's like it's really interesting because like it gets into like the the stonemasons or the Freemasons too, and like what they're all about and like how like this has all been passed down from like what we now believe tens of thousands of years.

00;46;44;21 - 00;46;47;14
Speaker 2
Yeah.

00;46;47;14 - 00;47;17;12
Speaker 1
So that's pretty interesting. But I found out like stonemasons though he was saying like there's only a 1% that know that esoteric knowledge in that Freemason whole thing. So if you join the Masons today, you're not getting like brought in on esoteric knowledge. You're basically joining like a frat house, sort of like you just like have parties, cater food and mingle.

00;47;17;20 - 00;47;36;00
Speaker 1
You have drinks? Yeah. Mixers, yeah. No. Yeah. I don't know how you get to those high degrees. You must you have to be like Jeffrey Epstein level, you know.

00;47;36;13 - 00;47;48;03
Speaker 2
I mean something like that. Yeah. You have to host a bunch of people have underage sex. I mean is that basically sex traffic people to Vegas so.

00;47;48;03 - 00;48;09;09
Speaker 1
I think yeah yeah that's fucked up. That is fucked up, dude. Yeah. You know what else is fucked up when you're leaving the store and somebody drives in like the wrong lane and cuts off all the people turning left.

00;48;09;09 - 00;48;09;13
Speaker 3
Like.

00;48;09;26 - 00;48;18;24
Speaker 1
Somebody did that yesterday, and I'm like, What the fuck is their problem? Like, what the fuck? They what are.

00;48;18;24 - 00;48;28;00
Speaker 2
Those people that drive up the wrong way in a parking lot? Yeah, like, that's why I have trust issues, because these people.

00;48;28;00 - 00;48;28;11
Speaker 3
You know, like.

00;48;30;05 - 00;48;46;25
Speaker 2
You're like backing out of a parking spot and like, you're angled, so you back up and then go forward, and somebody's coming at you and you're like, are you doing like you retarded? Like there's a reason that there's arrows, dude, I swear I don't get it.

00;48;47;03 - 00;49;12;16
Speaker 1
I swear to God. Like, in the past couple of years, I feel like I've just been hearing more and more people driving on the wrong side of the road. And these are these aren't like foreign people either. These are people that are American born and they end up getting themselves killed. And I'm just trying to understand, how does this fucking happen?

00;49;13;21 - 00;49;16;28
Speaker 2
Like people like dumb number one.

00;49;16;28 - 00;49;34;02
Speaker 1
Yeah, I know that. Well, is it because. Okay, so like, I know over like when you start getting up north like over by a gurney or like yeah. Just up there on 294 where it almost starts becoming 94.

00;49;34;24 - 00;49;36;19
Speaker 3
Mm.

00;49;36;19 - 00;49;58;16
Speaker 1
Maybe it's because like it almost feels weird like when you're trying to get onto the expressway, like maybe it's not so clear and maybe they take the wrong turns when you know, I don't know, like I'm just trying to understand. Like there's never been a time where I felt like I was about to drive on the wrong side of the road, you know?

00;50;00;01 - 00;50;09;03
Speaker 2
Yeah. It's just like. I mean, I've just seen, like, really traction areas. I'm trying. Like, construction sometimes gets confusing as hell.

00;50;09;21 - 00;50;10;14
Speaker 1
Maybe, you.

00;50;10;14 - 00;50;27;10
Speaker 2
Know what I mean? Like the cones here and like, these barriers and this and stuff, like, with, like, am I supposed to go like, they do not lay it out very easy. Not to mention, like you're doing like 80 miles an hour on the highway and then all of a sudden it's just like construction cones.

00;50;27;24 - 00;50;38;18
Speaker 1
Well, that's the other thing. I feel like it's not usually air construction areas. I feel like it's it's feel like it happens because they go on the wrong ramp around ramp.

00;50;39;04 - 00;50;42;28
Speaker 2
It's probably a lot of just do how they're drunk or something they have.

00;50;43;04 - 00;51;22;26
Speaker 1
Yeah it's like, oh, so fucked up. Well, on the brighter side, I was told that Maya, once you give the lady your your I.D. at the self-checkout, that you could technically buy the entire Department of Alcohol and she doesn't have to come back and scan it in or whatever. I told the lady of the entire Department of Alcohol, she's like, Yeah, I'm like, on the I'll note that for next time, I'm like, next time I'm coming with the department.

00;51;23;10 - 00;51;40;05
Speaker 1
So that so she's she laughs and she whatever and walks away. So now I'm leaving and she goes she as I'm walking past her, she goes the entire department. Remember? And I'm like, Fuck, yeah, it's.

00;51;40;14 - 00;51;43;02
Speaker 2
Just you think you're an alcoholic or something like.

00;51;43;17 - 00;51;44;04
Speaker 1
No, I.

00;51;44;05 - 00;51;44;09
Speaker 2
And.

00;51;45;07 - 00;51;58;01
Speaker 1
I, I only had like a six pack and I know I was just like I just said that I'm like, oh, the whole. The entire department, huh? I'm like, I'll know what for next time.

00;51;59;23 - 00;52;07;06
Speaker 2
Yeah. I wonder when all these companies are going to be sending me W-2 forms for self-checkout.

00;52;07;06 - 00;52;08;12
Speaker 1
Hmm. Yeah, right.

00;52;09;17 - 00;52;16;14
Speaker 2
It's everywhere. And they have it at Kohl's now. They have a self-checkout at Kohl's.

00;52;17;02 - 00;52;26;10
Speaker 1
Oh, I like to go and go. I like scan and go. That's. That's cool. You ever do scan and go? I do it.

00;52;26;10 - 00;52;28;15
Speaker 2
And it and you just pay at the very end.

00;52;28;29 - 00;52;52;24
Speaker 1
Well so yeah, I go, I do it at Sam's Club. So you yeah. You scan everything and then you hit the checkout button. Your card's already linked. So it basically asks you again, you know, sure you want to do this and then you go forward. Then a barcode pops up. So you just have to get, you know, I mean, it it doesn't matter.

00;52;52;24 - 00;53;18;12
Speaker 1
At Sam's Club, they still have to scan your like they still check to make sure you you're not stealing, which I don't get their system. It's so weird. So they scan the barcode on either the phone or the receipt, and then they scan like three or four items, just random items. So like the idea is if we did steal something, they, they would catch it.

00;53;19;03 - 00;53;41;24
Speaker 1
But I'm like, whatever, you know, I don't know. Did Costco though? They do. They don't even look. They're just like, oh, thanks, Sia. They literally just look at your cart and then they just take the highlighter and swipe it and they're like, Yeah, you're good. Every now and then you get like a weirdo. That's like, Oh yeah, yeah.

00;53;41;24 - 00;53;43;09
Speaker 1
You got 13 items. You're good.

00;53;44;09 - 00;53;48;20
Speaker 2
Right? Don't touch my bags or dirty fingers.

00;53;48;22 - 00;53;49;01
Speaker 1
Yeah.

00;53;49;02 - 00;53;50;15
Speaker 2
Get your dirty fingers away.

00;53;52;04 - 00;53;55;22
Speaker 1
So that takes me to that. What's that?

00;53;56;05 - 00;54;21;24
Speaker 2
I almost feel like it's like a requirement to steal stuff now, like everybody else stealing things. So, like. So secretly. Sometimes I'll just, like, pretend to forget something. It'll be like the small shit, but it'll just make its way into my bag without being scanned. Because fuck them. That's. That's my fee for how I thought they were.

00;54;22;00 - 00;54;26;16
Speaker 1
I thought they had weight scales on that shit, so like.

00;54;26;17 - 00;54;28;21
Speaker 2
They don't anymore because I had too much issues with it.

00;54;29;28 - 00;54;31;15
Speaker 1
Oh.

00;54;33;00 - 00;54;37;04
Speaker 2
That's because certain things one way it's a bunch so.

00;54;37;20 - 00;55;04;02
Speaker 1
It would like. Yeah. And then somebody would have to come and be like, you know, you know what though every time not it doesn't happen every time. This only happened like a few times in my life, but it's where you're at a store, you got a ton of shit. And you also have like, I don't know, a case of pop or like case of water on the bottom card.

00;55;04;02 - 00;55;27;03
Speaker 1
And you basically you check out and you totally forget about it. And then you get to the car and you realize, Holy fuck, I didn't pay for the water or whatever, but it's like a freebie. What do you do? You go back in. Oh, hey, I didn't pay for this. Yeah, check me out. Well, probably at that point, I'll be like, Fuck out of here.

00;55;28;17 - 00;55;48;13
Speaker 2
Get the fuck out of here. I mean, if I'm going to have to do the work myself of checking out like in, you're not going to provide me somebody to do that job because you're not willing to pay them. You're going to pay me in some way. Like whether that's like maybe a free stick of deodorant, I don't know.

00;55;49;00 - 00;55;54;15
Speaker 1
But those are the coupons here for that. So you get like a million coupons in self-checkout.

00;55;55;03 - 00;56;19;22
Speaker 2
Oh, no, they made it even fucking harder with that. Like, Jewel, you have to clip a coupon on digitally so that you can for when you put in your number, it automatically deducts it because you have like saved you a list that you've already gone through. So you still have to go through and like pick out what you're going to buy with these coupons.

00;56;20;10 - 00;56;46;26
Speaker 2
You can't like clip a coupon. So if any of you don't like, some of them are ridiculous. Like I saw one of it. One of them, it was like without a coupon, it was like $6 for like a box of cereal. But with the coupon it was like two. And I was like, Holy shit. But no, because I'm still having to do work to get that sale, right?

00;56;47;05 - 00;57;02;27
Speaker 2
So if you're going to do all this work, I need to get I need to see some, some, some sort of income or I need my reparations in my reparations. I thought you.

00;57;02;27 - 00;57;24;23
Speaker 1
Oh, man, I bet you could get an accountant out there that would fucking claim that on the taxes like dude I self-checkout for like the past six months now like and then the like they'll what do you call it. I will find a way they'll throw out or something. You'll get like a shit ton of money back.

00;57;26;14 - 00;57;33;24
Speaker 2
Well you figure let's say it, let's say it takes me 10 minutes self. I have a big, big grocery list.

00;57;33;24 - 00;57;54;08
Speaker 1
Well, that's the thing. There's supposed to be a limit. Like you're not supposed to, like, have like I know like get you in Myer like Myer's like a 20 item limit. So I couldn't really buy the fucking department. Like if I was doing that like then they would be like No you can't self-checkout, they can't buy the department motherfuckers.

00;57;54;23 - 00;58;06;17
Speaker 1
But anyways yeah like 20 items are like so like you shouldn't, the idea is you shouldn't have so much that you're there for like more than 5 minutes.

00;58;08;13 - 00;58;18;05
Speaker 2
Yeah, but so Walmart has like the long checkout counters self-checkout where it's got the belt and everything.

00;58;18;22 - 00;58;20;07
Speaker 1
Yeah, it's nice.

00;58;20;07 - 00;58;41;26
Speaker 2
And they only have to open registers. There's always like a million people in line. Yeah, they've got like two open registers either. Wait. Yeah. I mean, if honestly and they could sit there and complain, oh, we lost all this money in from theft and this and that. It's like, yeah, how much money did you save in not having to employ anybody to do checkout anymore?

00;58;41;26 - 00;59;04;01
Speaker 1
Well, see, CVS is the worst it because they so somebody will be at the counter and then like you'll come up to them, they'll be like, Oh, you got to use the self-checkout actually. So one time I was buying alcohol in the person's like, well I'm not old enough and there's nobody here else. I'm like, Well, how am I supposed to buy this then?

00;59;04;01 - 00;59;27;08
Speaker 1
And then they're like, Well, you could actually do the self-checkout, and I can actually just hit the button on that and verify your I.D. because they're not handling it or whatever. So like, it's that's dumb, but like there's speed times too. Or people are like, Oh no, you got to use self-checkout. Okay, that's why. So yeah, now the worst place is Walgreens.

00;59;27;08 - 00;59;29;22
Speaker 1
They don't even have fucking self-checkout, at least the one.

00;59;29;22 - 00;59;32;14
Speaker 2
I there and there's nobody ever standing at.

00;59;32;14 - 01;00;07;05
Speaker 1
That. That's right. Yeah. They have, they have a terrible fuck in like hours. They like their stores don't have that many hours. They can't hire that many people. But then they're like they're supposed to like do above and beyond work, though with the nothing that they're given, you know, it's retarded. Yeah. I hate going to Walgreens like that's another place that like they have three registers they try to make them nowadays with three fucking registers.

01;00;07;05 - 01;00;30;19
Speaker 1
Yeah and yeah. And like there's always one person but that person's always fucking stocking something in the aisles. So then takes them forever. And then there's again a line going around and then like there's like two other people just stocking. They don't even give a fuck. They're like, Yeah, I want to get this stocked, we got to get it stocked.

01;00;31;27 - 01;00;57;05
Speaker 2
But yeah, I think the other thing that's kind of getting out of hand too is like asking for a tip everywhere. Like, I swear, like, I'll go and I'll like check out somewhere and they'll be like, Do you want to tip? And I'm like, Am I tipping right now? Like, the person didn't even tell me like that. And I find that to be like the worst thing to like.

01;00;57;05 - 01;01;11;02
Speaker 2
How are you not paying people a decent wage enough so that you're forcing me to feel guilty against this? Like, it's one thing if this is a restaurant and I have a waiter.

01;01;11;02 - 01;01;11;18
Speaker 1
Yeah.

01;01;12;09 - 01;01;24;04
Speaker 2
Or this and that or, you know, you're getting food or you know, it's a DoorDash driver. You know, that's a completely different thing. But I'm talking like like the subway is.

01;01;24;06 - 01;01;28;10
Speaker 1
Like the dispensary where you place lunch on line and then they're like.

01;01;28;10 - 01;01;28;20
Speaker 2
Yeah.

01;01;29;00 - 01;01;31;13
Speaker 1
Here's a tip jar. And you're like.

01;01;31;19 - 01;01;31;29
Speaker 2
Yeah, you.

01;01;31;29 - 01;01;39;11
Speaker 1
Did. You didn't tell me what strings would do for me. I fucking did all the research. I did the back where tip exist.

01;01;39;18 - 01;01;59;15
Speaker 2
You're like, Why do they give you a and yeah, I'll sit there and I'll order something online and just pick it up. And I'm not talking like a, you know, if it's different with the restaurant industry, I understand. Like, yeah, somebody has to take their time away to actually pat, you know, put your order together and blah, blah, blah, this and that.

01;01;59;20 - 01;02;20;29
Speaker 2
And it actually might be like a waitress or somebody that that's they're doing that. Yeah. So I get it. They took time or whatever. But if it's like again, a sandwich place, yeah, you put it together like you would normally anyways. And I did all the work I just, I ordered. You just had to put it all together.

01;02;20;29 - 01;02;42;19
Speaker 2
Then it's like, Oh, do you want to tip these people? Like, I feel bad, but at the same time it's like, Dammit, why can't this company pay for these people? Like this has just gotten completely out of hand with who's asking for. For tips nowadays. Yeah. You know, I pay a $5 coffee, and it's just become Oscars.

01;02;42;27 - 01;02;47;23
Speaker 1
Oscars? Very like street performers. That's, you know, it's to.

01;02;48;22 - 01;02;50;26
Speaker 2
That I'm not doing that to.

01;02;51;17 - 01;03;11;05
Speaker 1
Well you could just wear the cosplay like yeah we'll get like a big what his it's like a big like rectangle thing that's like a chest they'll have like costumes in it, you know, just like change real quick and then pop like Superman.

01;03;11;18 - 01;03;13;17
Speaker 2
Like in a change in a phone booth.

01;03;14;20 - 01;03;15;04
Speaker 1
Yeah, that's.

01;03;15;05 - 01;03;17;05
Speaker 2
Like, forever to put that shit on.

01;03;17;05 - 01;03;29;16
Speaker 1
I know, right? It's fucking eight. Yeah. No, the tipping is retarded. It's gotten to a point like.

01;03;29;16 - 01;03;47;22
Speaker 2
Like I don't. I don't mind like restaurants and stuff and like if you can't f and you go to a restaurant, then you're an asshole because that's just, you know, these people are dependent on that. But like other places where, you know, it's a fast food industry, like I go to McDonald's, they're not asking for a tip.

01;03;47;22 - 01;03;48;16
Speaker 1
Yeah, you're talking.

01;03;48;16 - 01;03;50;24
Speaker 2
Like if I go to like, yeah.

01;03;51;10 - 01;04;09;13
Speaker 1
Yeah, Pop Alley's going to ask for a tip, like and it's like they yeah. They don't hand it they hand it to you at the register. They don't bring it to you like. Yeah. Like if someone's actually bringing it to you, taking your order, you know, serving you.

01;04;09;24 - 01;04;33;13
Speaker 2
Yes. It should be like a service type thing where they like getting my haircuts. I'm going to tip that person because they provided a service to me. Yeah, right. They personally took their time and did this and that. If I get paid to make sandwiches and that's my job and I take an order for a sandwich and I make it, why should we do that?

01;04;33;23 - 01;04;54;21
Speaker 2
I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but at the same time, it's like I get there's the service industry when you're providing like a, like, you know, a specific service, you know, a waiter or waitress, you know, things like that. But You're making a sandwich at a fast food place. I'm sorry. Like, right. And I have to from before just because I feel bad.

01;04;55;04 - 01;05;12;17
Speaker 2
Yeah. Like you. I have a box or something. I'll throw it in there, but, like, it never used to be like this. It was. Now I feel like it's like everywhere. Same with, like, Starbucks. It's like they're charging me $8 for a coffee, and then you. You want me to tip you for pouring a coffee into a cup.

01;05;12;25 - 01;05;40;16
Speaker 1
Which it gets spread. Yeah. Among everybody else who not everybody had direct contact with. Whatever. It's. Yeah, it's wild. But you know what? I'm glad you brought this up, because I was thinking about the fast food industry lately, and I was, like, thinking about how, like, McDonald's is, like, the only place that, like, hires, like, a shit ton of people.

01;05;40;16 - 01;06;01;29
Speaker 1
Not like the only place, but like, you know, like Portillo's hires a shit ton of people, so there's like, Chick-Fil-A and all that and they got good service. Like, you're kind of in and out, you know, all that. Yeah, all that shit. Blake, I've realized, like, you go to Wendy's, you go to Burger King, go to, like, Arby's, you can go to, like, White Castle.

01;06;02;14 - 01;06;30;25
Speaker 1
Dude, there's, like, no skeletal crews. The time. Yeah, takes fucking forever, and it's just, like. It's amazing. It's amazing how, like, there was a time when those places were packed with people working all the time. You know what I mean? Like. And it's just like now is the times. Like, I'm talking, like, I feel like it's been like, almost like 20.

01;06;30;25 - 01;06;36;23
Speaker 1
Like, I feel like it was in the nineties when Burger King had like a shit ton of people working back there.

01;06;37;09 - 01;06;42;19
Speaker 2
I haven't even seen a commercial for Burger King since I have a King guy. Yeah.

01;06;43;08 - 01;06;59;25
Speaker 1
We talking about Big K have it your way. They literally took the Arby's guy. Yeah, I think they did. I think they took that Arby's guy that, like, hit that weird deep voice. And now he's an.

01;07;00;27 - 01;07;05;02
Speaker 2
RV and Burger King are probably owned by the same conglomerate or something.

01;07;05;07 - 01;07;28;16
Speaker 1
Probably. Yeah, like I know Taco Bell, KFC and W Long, John Silver's. Probably somebody else. Oh, Pizza Hut. They're all owned by this, like, Yum Corporation. Or they were they might have actually been sold to other Chinese investors.

01;07;28;17 - 01;07;56;28
Speaker 2
But I mean, think of it like this, too, though. So those companies invested in having good customer service. Where are the places that have lines around them every day like Chick fil A? Barcelos, McDonald's? So all these other companies, even though they suck right now, they could take note by saying, if you have good customer service, people will come back and continue to come to that.

01;07;56;28 - 01;08;06;21
Speaker 2
Fuck yeah. Do you know what I mean? Like, if I could find a place that had a good, like a good Taco Bell, like, every time I go there, I feel like I've just. It it's a crapshoot.

01;08;07;03 - 01;08;22;09
Speaker 1
Yeah. No, it's, it's another one. Yeah. They never have pop either. It's like, yeah, oh yeah, I want this. Oh we don't have that today. Okay, how about that. Now what do you have. Oh we got orange drink OC weird.

01;08;23;18 - 01;08;44;13
Speaker 2
There was one Taco Bell that I go to and it's, it's been kind of up and down but for a while there was this one kid that worked there and like I could tell it was a skeleton crew and I had to like wait in the drive thru for 10 minutes. But the kid was awesome. Like he got all my orders right every time he was really nice about it and I'm like, okay, I get it.

01;08;44;16 - 01;09;12;20
Speaker 2
You know, I'm going to give him a break. But I kept on coming back and then that guy went away and it turned into shit. And I'm like, I'm not coming back. Like when the person's handing me food and it says like, I can read like some type of saying on their knuckles that are tattooed, that's like fuck love or whatever, you know, as they're handing me food and I'm like, Fuck, yeah, I mean, this person's prior to the work release program.

01;09;12;20 - 01;09;16;08
Speaker 1
But it's funny.

01;09;16;08 - 01;09;33;03
Speaker 2
Yeah, especially it was really, really bad when there was that, when nobody was working like right after COVID and everybody that was unemployed was still getting checks and like you'd go somewhere and you're like, they're like closed because they don't have enough people to work normal hours that they're open. And you're like, This is crazy.

01;09;34;04 - 01;09;55;21
Speaker 1
Little Caesars in Tinley was like that. They they closed down there like they had a sign saying you had to go to the one in like the town to to town the place the one two towns over like. Well, fuck, dad, I ain't going I'm just going to order Domino's. Domino's to let people I'm trying to figure out if the, the robot thing is available everywhere.

01;09;57;07 - 01;09;57;27
Speaker 2
The robot.

01;09;57;27 - 01;10;04;12
Speaker 1
Thing. Don't they have the Domino's like robot like he just drives and then like, you know.

01;10;04;13 - 01;10;21;06
Speaker 2
Oh it's probably only in California. I don't see of any places around here that have autonomous vehicles. Like a lot of that shit's tested in California because everything's crammed together.

01;10;22;03 - 01;10;25;06
Speaker 1
Fuck California.

01;10;25;06 - 01;10;39;21
Speaker 2
Yeah, well, like we were saying, like, like a downtown Chicago was able to expand because of the fire and everything. So it's newer and it, you know, made itself larger. I was talking to this guy that we just brought on.

01;10;40;13 - 01;10;40;26
Speaker 1
Yeah.

01;10;41;02 - 01;11;09;16
Speaker 2
The other day, and he's from Philadelphia or a town outside of Philadelphia, and he's like, Yeah, it's weird because I'm up in, you know, Forest Park and it's kind of the same thing. Yeah, it's like kind of the same, you know? It's just like what? You know, Pennsylvania. Philly was like, he's like, but it's a lot more spread out and he's like, That's what I'm trying to get used to is because when you think about it, I mean, Pennsylvania was one of the first established colonies.

01;11;10;01 - 01;11;29;28
Speaker 2
She's like, There's some roads that are still built around a horse trail, you know, the size of that road that they just paved over it. So the community itself is a lot more tight knit. You know, and you don't have to drive as far to go to like a pizza place or this and that. You walk down the street and there's the corner pub or whatever.

01;11;30;11 - 01;11;32;18
Speaker 1
Well, whereas here.

01;11;32;18 - 01;11;39;05
Speaker 2
Yeah, I've been here. I mean, I could walk and get pizza, but yeah, I wouldn't be happy with it at the time I got home.

01;11;40;10 - 01;12;07;02
Speaker 1
All right, well, yeah. Well, we're where he lives. There's this person in Forest Park. Here's my thing. I used to live out there that I hated living out. I loved it because it was a nice area, but I hated it. Like wintertime was the worst I this the most time I like I felt like actually I felt like I was going to crash into shit because like, everybody parks on the street and then the plows.

01;12;07;15 - 01;12;15;04
Speaker 1
It's just like there's not a whole lot of space. So if he feels like there's more space, like then I'm not going to Philadelphia ever.

01;12;15;28 - 01;12;17;12
Speaker 2
Because yeah.

01;12;17;24 - 01;12;49;10
Speaker 1
Because what is weird is one time me and my wife, we met her family for like dinner somewhere in Oakland. Okay. So Oakland's probably about 15 minutes away from Forest Park and it's about 20 minutes, half hour from Tinley. So whatever we met out there and once we got into the Oakland area that was spread out, I was like, Holy shit, the roads are like, I don't feel like I'm going to crash into people, you know, like, yeah.

01;12;49;25 - 01;12;50;17
Speaker 1
And all that.

01;12;50;17 - 01;12;55;27
Speaker 2
But like if somebody is coming the other way, you're like, I'm going to lose a mirror at least.

01;12;56;04 - 01;12;59;07
Speaker 1
Yeah. Oh, definitely. Yeah.

01;12;59;07 - 01;13;02;06
Speaker 2
It's like slowing down and not even getting a little close.

01;13;02;12 - 01;13;22;12
Speaker 1
Well, there's a lot of one way streets in. Well, actually, are they one way? I forget. Anyways, like I said, a lot of cars are parked in the street, so if you're just driving in a residential street anyways, you feel like you're going to lose a fucking mirror just driving. Yeah. Yeah. So sometimes you feel like that in the summertime out there.

01;13;23;15 - 01;13;26;06
Speaker 1
But yeah, it was a nice day.

01;13;26;08 - 01;13;28;23
Speaker 2
To park in the street. I would die like.

01;13;28;23 - 01;13;38;09
Speaker 1
Well, I was like, Yeah, I know. A nice parking garage where. Where I lived. We live. I live right.

01;13;38;22 - 01;13;38;27
Speaker 2
Here.

01;13;39;23 - 01;13;40;10
Speaker 1
What's that?

01;13;41;07 - 01;13;47;11
Speaker 2
I had to pay to park. Or like, oh, you have to pay to have a parking spot. Like a single parking spot, like.

01;13;48;12 - 01;14;15;26
Speaker 1
Well, yeah, they do that shit. Yeah. I'm pretty sure when we lived at our place, we had to pay for two parking spots to be a part of the garage, you know, because otherwise, like, I'm just like, well, it's still like an area, like you can't really fucking just walk to the store because the nearest grocery stores about, you know, a couple like over a mile out, there's a bunch of bars that were down the street from us.

01;14;15;26 - 01;14;27;18
Speaker 1
We could totally walk to that. But I think the idea was, oh, wow, the blue lines right there. So you're going to take that to the city because you have a city job. That's why. Yeah, our apartments.

01;14;29;02 - 01;14;29;11
Speaker 2
Yeah.

01;14;29;24 - 01;14;30;28
Speaker 1
And I didn't. Yeah.

01;14;31;12 - 01;14;42;11
Speaker 2
But I mean that makes more sense though. I mean, I had a friend she was up in. Like what? Like Wicker Park area.

01;14;42;21 - 01;14;43;04
Speaker 1
Yeah.

01;14;44;07 - 01;15;12;11
Speaker 2
Like right off of what is the division or or not? North Avenue. I can't think like you're Fullerton Diversey like okay in that area, right? Yeah. Lincoln Park Wicker Park. Like she come home from work and she drive for like, drive around for like a half hour to an hour trying to find a parking spot just in the street.

01;15;12;12 - 01;15;14;10
Speaker 2
I'm like, how can you live? Like like.

01;15;14;14 - 01;15;15;09
Speaker 1
Yeah, I couldn't.

01;15;15;16 - 01;15;34;02
Speaker 2
Imagine, like, getting off work. Like, it's been a long ass day, you know, like, yeah, yeah. You get home and you drive, let's say a half hour home and you get home and you're like, Oh, there's nowhere to park. Yeah, no, I couldn't that. I would just. It would drive me insane.

01;15;35;00 - 01;15;57;20
Speaker 1
Well, dude, and then it's like, the other thing that drives me nuts is like, so, okay, you have to go find that parking spot right now. It's not. It's not even in front of your building. No. You have no vision. You just have to assume your car is fine. It's like leaving a fucking dog outside, like while you're inside somewhere.

01;15;58;00 - 01;16;01;20
Speaker 1
Like, that's how I feel about that. Like, like, what's it?

01;16;02;00 - 01;16;31;03
Speaker 2
I drive up there to visit, and I'd be like, I'd have anxiety the entire night. Like, Yeah, my car is going to get stolen or something. Yeah, right. I have my, I usually always keep a nice car with me when I drive. I'm a fan of my vehicles, so and I don't have front license plates on mine and they put a, put a ticket on my windshield one time, like just for not having a front license plate being parked in Chicago.

01;16;31;03 - 01;16;31;19
Speaker 2
And I'm like.

01;16;32;11 - 01;16;33;28
Speaker 1
What you got going on?

01;16;34;00 - 01;16;41;25
Speaker 2
Like you're telling me, yeah, I know. But, like, I've never once had an issue with it. Like, obviously you're supposed to have a front plate.

01;16;42;15 - 01;16;43;20
Speaker 1
But yeah, but.

01;16;44;04 - 01;16;45;25
Speaker 2
Neither of my vehicles don't.

01;16;46;17 - 01;16;57;18
Speaker 1
But I think like Indiana, it doesn't require you know what? I hate those plates, those people that get the the foreign plates, it it'll be like, oh, the.

01;16;57;25 - 01;16;58;18
Speaker 2
Long one.

01;16;58;26 - 01;16;59;10
Speaker 1
Yeah.

01;16;59;12 - 01;17;00;06
Speaker 2
Yeah. And like.

01;17;00;20 - 01;17;13;17
Speaker 1
Right. Like, I don't even know. Like if it's just if those are random numbers or if those are things that mean something or, or, or what. I know it doesn't translate into what your actual license plate is.

01;17;13;28 - 01;17;30;01
Speaker 2
No, it's just like the style because they want like a BMW with that or VW or Audi. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Because that's like they're they're European cars. It's like the style. It's kind of like like you know, like ice printers go.

01;17;30;01 - 01;17;35;25
Speaker 1
Live in fucking Europe then like this America, you know.

01;17;36;09 - 01;17;39;29
Speaker 2
Apparently they're getting rid of the I pass through it. You hear about this? Yeah, I did.

01;17;40;07 - 01;17;42;14
Speaker 1
Or now I'm fine with that.

01;17;43;09 - 01;17;44;18
Speaker 2
Oh, it's, um.

01;17;45;08 - 01;17;51;00
Speaker 1
Well, I hate the thing that you have to put on your license plate. I because that's what I have. Because they got.

01;17;51;06 - 01;17;51;13
Speaker 2
That.

01;17;51;27 - 01;18;16;11
Speaker 1
They phased. Well, you can if you still have the one that you just put on Velcro in your window, they didn't disable it, but they stopped making them. So if that one would ever fuck up on you, you'd have to get the one that. Well, now a sticker. But before then you'd have to get the thing that went on your your front license plate, you know, pissed me off years ago.

01;18;17;08 - 01;18;41;00
Speaker 1
You had to put a car under your iPad account in the car. You could just drive through it without it. Yeah. And then they would just deducted from the account. But then they changed it. Oh me. When they changed it. Yeah. I didn't know they changed it. I got a lot of fucking fines. Oh I'm going to, I'm going to tell you what the whole iPad fine thing is bullshit.

01;18;41;27 - 01;19;02;09
Speaker 1
So like, you know, you could go through it for like an entire year. They'll rack up, like, thousands of dollars on you, right? You'll call them up, and and you're like, you're so delinquent on this. You're calling them up, right? Oh, they settle for like $200.

01;19;03;15 - 01;19;29;07
Speaker 2
Oh, I, I just had one that was like $630 and I paid $25. Just, I'm like, I haven't, I've passed. They're like, like, oh, well, then you just need to pay whatever your the equated to. And I'm like, okay, because it was like $20 every time you go through without, without an error, if it didn't register or whatever that was like $600, I'm like, I have an iPad, what are you talking about?

01;19;29;07 - 01;19;32;28
Speaker 2
They're like, Oh yeah, we see it's registered here. So you just I was 25 bucks and I'm like.

01;19;33;27 - 01;19;34;08
Speaker 1
Well.

01;19;34;22 - 01;19;44;11
Speaker 2
I like a scam on the planet. It shouldn't even be happening. They shouldn't be charging any kind of fee because it was supposed to only be for a period of time.

01;19;44;29 - 01;19;45;16
Speaker 1
Yeah, they.

01;19;45;16 - 01;19;49;07
Speaker 2
Just kept it going because it's such a big influx of money.

01;19;49;28 - 01;20;10;20
Speaker 1
Yeah, it's a scam. No. Yeah. Do you honestly though, like you could rack up thousands of dollars and you're only going to pay like you're not paying thousands of dollars. You'll end up calling them up. They'll have you on the phone for like, like a half hour or 45 minutes. But like, it's like, what are you doing over there?

01;20;10;27 - 01;20;30;04
Speaker 1
Working what numbers? And then all of a sudden, it's like, okay, my system says that we can charge you like 100 and something dollars the call this day and it's like, why bother with the five? You know, I don't think my there's I think mine was like 20 $500 that I had.

01;20;30;08 - 01;20;47;21
Speaker 2
I think it was just scaring people into just paying something. Because when you see a bill for a thousand, you're like, wait a second. And then you call them and they're like, Oh yeah, just give us 100. And you're like, Okay, you know, it makes it seem a lot better. They're still making money off of it because you would have really only paid 30 bucks anyways.

01;20;47;24 - 01;21;03;11
Speaker 1
Well, that's what I'm wondering. Like, are they like doing something? Like what? Like a purchasing manager do, like for a company like outlay and margin and all this shit and like, okay, you could get away with like ten or like 100 bucks today.

01;21;03;11 - 01;21;23;27
Speaker 2
You know, think of it, it was all automated anyways. So like it's catching you and is charging you 20 bucks. So it's not like they invested, you know, people time in that, right. Yeah. People that are taking the money from you. But if every call they get in is a you know it's worth $30 in tolls, they're making a hundred off of it.

01;21;24;04 - 01;21;24;17
Speaker 1
Yeah.

01;21;24;24 - 01;21;48;07
Speaker 2
Either they would have made throw off of you or they're going to make a hundred off of you. Yeah. You know, so it's, it's what are ridiculous. I mean you're paying 300%, almost 400% of what you would have originally paid. Yeah. You know, Jesus. But I don't know how the sticker is going to work. Does it go on your windshield or is it on your license plate?

01;21;48;21 - 01;21;53;01
Speaker 2
It's on your shield. Yeah. And I'm not putting that shit on my windshield.

01;21;53;01 - 01;22;10;10
Speaker 1
You ever get like the a car wash pass or anything like that, but pulling a sticker on down your windshield and you just drive through the the scanner and it's scans the barcode and the arm goes up and you get your car wash.

01;22;11;08 - 01;22;12;02
Speaker 2
I refuse.

01;22;13;08 - 01;22;18;07
Speaker 1
Okay, Jared will be the only one without the sticker.

01;22;19;17 - 01;22;28;01
Speaker 2
Oh, I'll, I'll, I'll do is get that, that spray that you put on your license plate that pays it out when it's, when it's photographed.

01;22;28;25 - 01;22;29;03
Speaker 3
Right.

01;22;29;24 - 01;22;33;12
Speaker 1
I, yeah I do remember that's been out for years.

01;22;34;04 - 01;22;45;05
Speaker 2
Oh yeah. It works. And you can't tell unless you actually shine like a really, really bright light on it. And that's what they use that led light.

01;22;45;05 - 01;22;57;22
Speaker 1
But it's so they can still see through it is what you're saying though they have a higher rate to possibly see, like hopefully they catch, you know, their dumb ass puts like one one code on.

01;22;58;24 - 01;23;06;01
Speaker 2
Yeah, you can't read it if, if you use it because the way that their cameras work.

01;23;07;06 - 01;23;07;25
Speaker 1
It's not bright.

01;23;07;25 - 01;23;25;04
Speaker 2
Enough because they have like it looks like those lights that are like rotating as you go through them. Yeah. Yes. So it's kind of like flickering if you will. Yeah. Any kind of flash like that causes a reflection that blurs it out.

01;23;25;04 - 01;23;33;23
Speaker 1
Well, it sounds like they could fucking correct it. They probably know how to, but they're just making so much money doing it this way.

01;23;34;17 - 01;23;36;23
Speaker 2
Well, I'll just have to get intuitive.

01;23;37;29 - 01;23;38;19
Speaker 1
What if you like.

01;23;38;20 - 01;23;39;18
Speaker 2
Certain better way.

01;23;39;26 - 01;23;43;16
Speaker 1
Scanning like vin numbers and shit that.

01;23;44;02 - 01;23;46;23
Speaker 2
They wouldn't be able to do that? There'd be no way.

01;23;46;23 - 01;23;47;10
Speaker 1
No, no.

01;23;47;10 - 01;23;48;26
Speaker 2
Small little barcode.

01;23;49;07 - 01;23;49;19

Here.

01;23;49;19 - 01;23;53;01
Speaker 2
It has to pass with the speed that you're going.

01;23;53;23 - 01;23;54;09
Speaker 1
Yeah.

01;23;55;24 - 01;24;09;17
Speaker 2
Well, I mean, how are they going to tell if you have a sticker? I mean, if it's in your windshield, you have to have a picture of the sticker and picture of your plate. Would it be just a sticker that they put on your plate and just take one picture?

01;24;09;17 - 01;24;10;02
Speaker 1
I don't know.

01;24;10;02 - 01;24;18;03
Speaker 2
And that makes more sense because they're already taking pictures of your plate, right? I mean, that's how they're catching people. Yeah, fine.

01;24;18;03 - 01;24;28;10
Speaker 1
Yeah. I mean, I think it's like lasers, to be honest. Laser lasers.

01;24;28;10 - 01;24;31;27
Speaker 2
Right? I don't know. I don't know. All scam.

01;24;33;01 - 01;25;07;27

Make sure you look up what Gene Hackman looks like right now. There you go. Really messed up.

01;25;13;24 - 01;25;17;13
Speaker 1
There you have it. Gene Hackman. Everybody look him up.

01;25;17;13 - 01;25;21;03
Speaker 2
I love Gene Hackman, but he does not look like Gene Hackman, that's for sure.

01;25;21;21 - 01;25;25;14
Speaker 1
No more Gene. No. All right. Later.

01;25;25;26 - 01;25;26;05
