Speaker 1:
You listen to me, you go to the top, bobby, bobby.
Speaker 2:
Bobby, bobby, bobby. No-transcript. That's the best thing to do.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, it really is, because a lot of people you just can't have fun with them, no matter how annoying you'll make their life. They're just annoying to watch or be alone. And there's other people out there.
Speaker 2:
There are a lot of people out there, yeah.
Speaker 1:
So the best thing to do is just turn your back and ignore them, and people hate that more than anything to be ignored. People don't mind getting in an argument with you If you ignore them. They hate it, they hate it. I had my wife and I got in an argument one day, One day, and I told her and this is a line everybody can use when you're arguing with your wife or husband or anybody that's how I told her. I said hey, if you could have done any better, you would have. This is as good as you can do it. You've had enough time. You're the one that said yes when I asked you. I didn't say yes, you didn't ask me. This is the best you can do. And then my wife told me I didn't have time to shop.
Speaker 1:
Well, most men and women do a lot of shopping. Yeah, Everything was a dollar store. Yep, I saw you guys in the divorce court. Yeah, had only been married 20 years. What happened? I knew from the day I married him he was no good. Why would you spend 20 years with him sleeping in rented furniture? Yeah, Are you nuts? Yeah, Go do something else. Was the sex that good? Was the company that good For 20 years of misery. Are you nuts? No, I couldn't understand that.
Speaker 1:
Hates to do things in my life, sometimes Just to drive her nuts, and we have a list of in the refrigerator of stuff she wants to get Red milk eggs. I put on the one cup a wiener helper. And when I go through stores now I like to put things in people's carts that they didn't buy. I can have bananas or cup of bars of soap or smoked sausage or kosher food or something you know, and usually when somebody checks it out they're reading the magazine there or their bad choir. Then they get home and the husband says hey, I don't eat pig feet. I don't either. What are you buying for? I didn't buy it. It's my way of helping out the world.
Speaker 2:
What about people you've encountered who maybe were okay to be with but then someone had a real big influence on them to kind of go the other way and change them, and that kind of thing. Someone who was really a good person to deal with but then someone had an influence over him? I've seen that wrestler. I've seen the guy.
Speaker 1:
I've seen that wrestler. I've seen that guy come in the dressing room, introduce himself the wrestler, how you doing, how you doing, how you doing everybody. And then, like the Ultimate Warrior, who's a real jerk, come in the dressing room how you doing, how you doing, how you doing, how you doing, how you doing. Well, after he became a main eventer and won the belt, he said to me I said I know all you guys, you all know me. I don't have to go shake anybody's hand.
Speaker 2:
You said that out loud yeah.
Speaker 1:
So I said, like you really think you're going to shake your hand? Yeah, we're just being polite, but see before when he was kissing ass to be where he is. He was shaking, everybody's hand Now that he thinks he's a star. None of us like you to begin with.
Speaker 1:
We didn't want to shake your hand, but I've seen guys come in and they were talking about when I did this, when I did that. They're just putting themselves over it. That's fine to do, but you can see how money and different stages of life will affect people.
Speaker 2:
To me when I was making more money than I ever made.
Speaker 1:
I was the nicest of people. I was happy making money. I always saw guys that would fight and argue when they weren't making money. There's a funny thing about wrestling. I can say I'm going to make a bet here and there, so what? I had your wife before. So what If you tell the guy I think you're a lousy match? Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:
Then they're going to fight you. They're going to knock you over the head, but they're going to fight you because they're a lousy match.
Speaker 1:
I told her I said you beat Nick one more time. You get to Put the word in the streets.
