It's just because when I was a kid, my mom used to have me open up child proof caps for.
Speaker 1:Welcome back to some of that's intended. Mike's telling me about how his backpack opens child proof caps.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:I thought it'd be a nice different start.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I didn't realize. It started obviously.
Speaker 1:I'm Jeremy Robinson. I'm Mike make and this is we're recording back to back, because Mike's gonna be in Disneyland. Yeah when this one comes out, yes, or when we would normally record it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I should be coming back next Wednesday.
Speaker 1:Nice.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're leaving early in the morning Wednesday. I don't know what time we're gonna get back though.
Speaker 1:You're gonna be gone for a week, oh.
Speaker 2:We leave Saturday. Okay and well, technically it's gonna be Sunday morning at 2 am. Drive all the way there, spend the whole day at the park. Then we have a place at the Hyatt that we're staying at nice or fancy yeah, I've seen some pictures. It's the Hyatt that region see the night. It's nice, it's really nice.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so we're talking about Star Wars books last time, so I went and got a couple of them off the shelf, the ones I was telling Mike about. That I really liked. I'm gonna join everyone, I'm sure of it tails of the bounty hunters, which I like a lot because it goes into a den gar. The guy with the bandaid on his head.
Speaker 1:Yeah and gives a lot of backstory. So like he has the bandages on his head because he's Basically doing like cybernetic implants of how to become a better bounty hunter and like how to be more, like how to compete better because, like IG 88 Was an assassin droid that gained sentience yeah, and I think that's in this too, of like his start and then boss the trend ocean and I don't remember what the other guy's name is, but it was really good. So that's a lot of backstory on the bounty hunters that they just show. And what is it? Empire Strikes Back of. Like go find him.
Speaker 1:Yeah and that's all that they do is just show them. So that's a lot of backstory. It's really fucking cool. Tails from the most eyes of the cantina.
Speaker 2:That's what it sounds like I'm like, because it's a hub for all kinds of scum and as you say yeah, the cantina, just a small bit of what we saw in Star Wars was there was quite a bit going on in there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it's like stories that are swapped there and like a bunch of different characters that were in that. Briefly, what's his name? The, the Rodean, that.
Speaker 2:Greedo, yeah, there's some great oh there's some gritos stories in there.
Speaker 1:There's some the fuck I can't. It's that one like spy Species that has like the longest ring is the noise they make. Yeah, I think there's a story of them in there. Tails from the Empire I don't remember a lot of that one, but I Remember I liked all of them. Yeah, tails from jobless palace was really fucking good.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I kind of think that I'll enjoy that one.
Speaker 1:And then there's tails from the new Republic that I don't remember. It's dark in my room. I don't feel like fucking digging through all the books.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's just um. You get a little more background into some of the characters from Star Wars that you might not get if you don't get the books.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and that's. I like that why it's kind of frustrating where Disney took all of the movies because they're like oh Well, it's. I think even one of them said we don't have anything to go by. Yeah, we don't have anything to go, bro. There is fucking hundreds of hours.
Speaker 2:So many hours of books and yeah that you could do so. You could. You could go to fan fiction and find some good shit to work with like this one's Darth Bane dynasty of evil.
Speaker 1:It's an old republic novel, but what they started doing in a lot of the books, that's fucking awesome, as they have a timeline Based around the movies that tells you like when the books are. So if you want to read them in chronological order, you can. That's one of the reasons I stopped reading Star Wars books, as I wanted to get all of them and then read it from beginning to end.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But that was they started. Coming out was so fucking many, so many.
Speaker 2:I know I remember looking into the books a long time ago and thinking, damn, and just like you look at the shelves and you're like what, the where? Where do I start?
Speaker 1:Yeah, so Like it starts all the way five thousand years before a new hope and it's lost. Tribe of the Sith there's three books and the Darth Bane series is a thousand years before a new hope and Then it jumps to like 33 years before Darth Maul there's three books. Episode one, rogue planet, was really fucking good. That's Obi-Wan Trying to run like a rescue mission or something, yeah, and then a couple different ones.
Speaker 1:The Clone Wars, republic, commando books were really fucking good. And then it goes to the Han Solo trilogy, which is really fucking good the paradise snare, the huck gambit and rebel dawn, and then a couple random ones. And then episode four, tails from the messiahs, a cantina, a couple random ones. Splinter of the mind's eye, which was it is like canon ish, but it started almost before Star Wars became a thing yeah, that's really fucking good as a short book. Tales of bounty hunters shot as the Empire and then return the Jedi. And then tales from Jabba's palace, empire, new Republic, and then also, I want to say To their Jabba's palace, or tales of the bounty hunters, talks about Boba Fett escaping from the Sarlacc.
Speaker 1:Yeah like that's that story's in there. That's really fucking good.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I want to see that.
Speaker 1:It goes through. X-wing rogue squadron is the whole X-wing trilogy is fucking pretty immense too. Like follows the whole, like Republic fight and like after the whole battles over and like where each of them go, kind of thing. And then the Thrawn trilogy that you were talking about. The last book of that we're talking about is the last command, the Jedi Academy trilogy really fucking good. Jedi search, dark apprentice and champions of the Force.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna have a lot to go through, and then it's a bunch of different ones the black fleet crisis trilogy was really good before the storm shield alive Black fleet. Yeah, that's, that's talked about. That's really good, I mean. But I mean because it's lost.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and they're talking, they're trying both sides are trying to get the 200. The Corellian trilogy was pretty good. Ambush at Corellian trilogy.
Speaker 1:The Corellian trilogy was pretty good ambush at Corellia, assault at Solonia and showdown at center point. And then there's another two Thrawn books, the hand of Thrawn, duology. I think they could have figured a better word than didn't that? Yeah, duology, specter of the past and vision of the future. And then there's the new Jedi order and that's its own, like wild take on just everything, taken off in a weird way, the darkness trilogy, legacy, the force. And this doesn't include, like Jedi apprentice the young the young, young adult fiction. Yeah, I didn't really cover much of that, but Jedi apprentices before episode one, young Jedi nights is after Return of the Jedi.
Speaker 2:I remember, when I was young, my sister telling me about a Star Wars book where involving the kids of Leia, yep.
Speaker 1:That's the young Jedi nights really fucking good. I think it's 15. No, that one, I think, is six books. The Jedi apprentice is 16 or 20 books.
Speaker 2:I remember Um, Um. But then I look at the movies and I'm like, okay, the book I'm listening to now Leia is pregnant with twins and I had the one kid in the movie.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's like I said. I wasn't impressed and yeah and I know I've seen all three of the new trilogy but I don't remember much of most of them because it's like I've seen Fast and the Furious 8. I think it's three or four times now and I'm like that's I don't think I've seen this one and then I'll start watching it and I'm like this seems familiar and by the time I finish it, I'm like I've definitely seen this before and I now I know when I blocked it out and it just starts over.
Speaker 2:I've not seen fast. What if they call it fast and the Furious 8 or fast eight or whatever they call it, because it's? I think they're not as furious anymore, because I think they dropped the Furious part, it's just fast, whatever.
Speaker 1:I think it was just fast. It is called fate of the Furious.
Speaker 2:All right, so they were still furious, yeah, but I saw the first one and I saw a little bit of the one before they went to Tokyo.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And I saw the. I remember they were doing the race and one of the kids the rich kid in the race. The actor who played him was on to what was it. Home improvement. There's one of the kids on home improvement with the tool man.
Speaker 1:I don't remember that, but it sounds like the beginning of Tokyo drift.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, they're racing and they crash into a house that's being built. Yeah, that's Tokyo drift, yeah, but it's just like the actor being the kid from that. I just thought that was interesting Because I hadn't seen him anything for a while, and then we would come out and I see the beginning, and I mean, I'm not saying he was a lot in that because he didn't go to Tokyo also.
Speaker 1:And then fast nine was really, but 10 was awful 10.1, because there's going to be three of them.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:I watched it in my brother's house. I didn't pay for it, it's it was. It was frustrating and like Jesus Christ. Why do they do this?
Speaker 2:I don't. I'm not interested in any of them. I really wanted to see it because Jason Momoa and that's the only thing I want to see it for, because he adds what's his face.
Speaker 1:All of his parts look great. Thad Castle, whoever plays Reacher? The fucking just yoked up. He played Aquaman in Smallville. I don't remember his fucking name. I don't know, but like his part was really good, jason Momoa's part was really weird.
Speaker 2:So the commercial just showed the best parts that he had apparently.
Speaker 1:It must have been because, like it was like he was trying to play some like metrosexual, like take on a Johnny Depp character mixed with like three other people. It was weird.
Speaker 2:I don't know, I haven't seen it.
Speaker 1:He wasn't sure if he wanted to be like friends with everybody, flirt with everybody, be a psychopath, Like a lot of. There's one scene it's like okay, yeah, so he's, he's playing a psychopath character. All right, it's a weird. It's a weird thing and it's like it's not a Jason Momoa role. It looks like he had a lot of fun with it, but it definitely isn't.
Speaker 2:I just I saw clips and he just seemed at times he seemed really funny and I was like that that could almost make me want to watch it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's. It was probably all of all the good parts from the trailer. Let me look up what the guy's name is, because it's bothering me.
Speaker 2:But I still remember because people, people criticize him like you're not in that good shape, that you were for Aquaman and he's he I'd heard him say it before. He's like I don't work out unless somebody's paying me to work out, and I thought that was great.
Speaker 1:Alan Richardson.
Speaker 2:Doesn't ring a bell.
Speaker 1:He's, this guy.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, yeah, I've seen him in. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, when you said that castle, I said thought of.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the Blue Mountain State.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Of course I didn't. I'd actually thought about watching that again recently.
Speaker 1:It's so good we started watching it at Nate's house.
Speaker 2:I just wish they didn't. I wish they could have finished. They had contract disputes. Actually, I think he was one of the problems with the contract.
Speaker 1:But that's. He broke out of his typecasting because he was typecasted into like a frat boy, just dumb, dumb jock, and he, like Reacher, was a fucking massive breakout for him.
Speaker 2:But he was so good in Blue Mountain State. Yeah, I would like to see him like a last season. That movie they made was not good.
Speaker 1:No, but it was to like try to finish it off and like give us end off.
Speaker 2:I was hoping they were going to have a senior season where he was going to be the quarterback.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was a really. It was a really enjoyable series.
Speaker 2:Oh, I loved it.
Speaker 1:But his role in Smallville like he kind of jockey, like kind of dumb.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Almost the same, just less humor, because he wasn't supposed to be the main character. I feel like that's the only thing that held him back. But he was really good in Smallville also. He was Aquaman in Smallville.
Speaker 2:I'm thinking of him in Blue Mountain State. When he the Oreo, no, I was thinking the yeah, the Oreo, I know, but no, the pocket pussy. He lost his pocket pussy.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. My dad gave it to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was a good fucking show, and I think it was in something else recently too. I can't think of it.
Speaker 2:I'm not sure.
Speaker 1:Like he was good in that, but it wasn't great acting. But like he's become a really fucking good actor.
Speaker 2:And I would like to have seen some of the other people that were in that show do some shit At the mascot. He was funny as fuck. I don't know that they've been in.
Speaker 1:In the quarterback. Have they been in anything else?
Speaker 2:No, Not that I know of. Let's see, I thought they were good At least funny.
Speaker 1:Oh, Alan Richen was also Raphael on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live actions.
Speaker 2:Nice.
Speaker 1:The good ones.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:He was in Hunger Games Catching Fire.
Speaker 2:I've never watched those movies.
Speaker 1:Oh, they're good.
Speaker 2:I had no interest at all. Blah, blah, blah. I promised one person that if I ever watched one of those movies, I'd only do it with her, and that's not going to happen.
Speaker 1:Black Mirror. Here it is, but I'm going to say it's only a 5.7 on IMDB. Get a sense of humor.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It was fucking great.
Speaker 2:There was so many good things about that show.
Speaker 1:Darren Brooks is Alex Moran.
Speaker 2:That was that quarterback.
Speaker 1:And處αleski. Thank you. Load faster please. He's still doing shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but.
Speaker 1:He voices somebody in the crudes. Two episodes of young and the restless, the missing sister, a lot of, yeah, a lot of like no name, no name, nothing. Couple episodes of random here and there. It says he was in 1100 episodes of the bold and the beautiful.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's a soap.
Speaker 1:Okay so you have that's there's 9,000 episodes. It's been running from 1987 till now. Yep, he's been an 11. That's a lot of episodes.
Speaker 2:We also have to consider that it's aired every Monday through Friday.
Speaker 1:There's five episodes a week.
Speaker 2:Yeah, holy shit and they do the same thing for general hospital. I used to watch that.
Speaker 1:Holy shit, that's a lot.
Speaker 2:All right, now let's go back and see, I mean like if it was um, it was like a regular TV series. It's only on once a week. Yeah and only for you know. So many episodes a year? That would be insane.
Speaker 1:Chris Romano is the mascot. He was in nothing since the Blue Mountain State movie, so before that he was in. Now I met your mother, who was Romansky. Yeah and then before that, blue Mountain State. So, yeah, he hasn't been in much, which is unfortunate, because he was, he was definitely funny as fuck. Yeah, absolutely. Who else might have been somebody? The little short guy, james Cade?
Speaker 2:Well, there's one guy, one of the. There was a quarterback, I can't think of his name, but he joined the team. I've seen him and like he was even in the movie Meg and Meg too.
Speaker 1:James Cade was the kicker. He's been in quite a bit of shit, but none of it's really. Then a couple episodes of designated survivor.
Speaker 2:I think his name was Pajon or something like that. Yeah that's. He's been a lot of things. He was even in episode up. My name is Earl.
Speaker 1:I'm surprised not more people actually did shit after that. There's always those weird like movie or TV shows that seem to be like career enders for everyone in a weird way. I wonder what makes that happen? I don't know. I always wonder that too.
Speaker 2:There's some people you see in shows and you're like they're really good in that. You think they'd be in something else, but sometimes a TV series. It's hard to get Out of that and doing something else then when you actually see somebody do a successful TV series. And to get another successful TV series. That's impressive. Not just that, but like there's a weird, it seems to be a weird barrier between, like TV and movies.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it used to be bigger.
Speaker 2:Like why? What started that?
Speaker 1:I don't understand like, if they're good actors, just put them in shit. Like I know they have to audition, but we see, even at one time Tom Hanks was on a sitcom.
Speaker 2:Before he did movies and he made the crossover. But not everybody can do it. Yeah, I.
Speaker 1:I.
Speaker 2:TV show called booze and buddies, or him and Peter Scolari. They they dressed as women to so they could get into this apartment building because they only had women living in the apartment, so they had to act like women in the apartment.
Speaker 1:Jesus Christ. Yep, yeah, never heard of that, yeah.
Speaker 2:I guess that's called booze and buddies.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's. That's a weird. Like you said, it seems to be getting less because it's Whoever wants to be in shit now and like Apple sometimes studio. Sony has its own Amazon, netflix, like everybody has their own fucking.
Speaker 2:Sometimes now it's like somebody could be in a movie and then they go to TV. Yeah, that used to be unheard of. Yeah, like, why are you stepping down? It was what it was kind of the way.
Speaker 1:It was like that well, cuz now I think I was talking about a little bit last week of there used to be such a big fucking like money side on the back end of movies. Yeah, it doesn't really happen much anymore. So like they would do like, hey, here's ten million dollars to make the movie, you might hit like two or three million in box office, but you're gonna get Probably 20 million on the back end with DVD sales, with rentals, with this, with this, with this, with everything, and now a Month after its fucking in theaters you can buy it or it's on a streaming service. So there's not much back end. Which is also part of why the writer strike happened is because the studios were taken like 99% of the back end or the streaming companies. So there's no incentive to do like the the random, like hey, here's a, here's a script idea and you have a couple buddies do it and I have a friend produce it Because it'll probably make money and it's a pet project.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But it's not that kind of thing anymore, like it all has to be the same.
Speaker 2:Fucking like massive action movie of but I mean, look at like, at one point, you know, alec Baldwin was in a lot of movies, a lot, and then he did 30 rock. Yeah and I love 30 rock. He was great on 30 rock I. I loved him on that show.
Speaker 1:I think I saw the first season.
Speaker 2:I saw them all. I watched them more than once.
Speaker 1:That's Tracy. What's his face?
Speaker 2:Tracy Morgan.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he gets on my nerves in a weird way. I like him on like he's funny, but it's, it's a funny. I can take in little pieces, yeah.
Speaker 2:I like him on that show a lot.
Speaker 1:It's like Aziz, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:I don't want any part.
Speaker 1:Exactly, but that's like Tracy Morgan, like he has his own, like weird style of funny.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that isn't for everyone but from to me on 30 rock it works in so well.
Speaker 1:Yeah and. Tina Fey I.
Speaker 2:Like I love everything about that show, that whole cast. I think it's great. But one thing I will say about Alec Baldwin. Um, I saw I heard him on Howard Stern once and he was talking to me. He was like, yeah, the dream job. I want Easy job, game show host. Like he's just rolling. You do a week's worth of episodes and then you're done.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and.
Speaker 2:And he, actually I. He was on some game show for a little while. Not, that was funny, because they probably heard that he wanted to do it from the Howard Stern show and we're like you know, let's offer it to him if he really wants to do it.
Speaker 1:I mean, that's how a lot of stuff goes to is like a Networking, just like anything else is a massive part of it.
Speaker 1:But like a lot of people write a script for this actor and Then they'll like send it over to their agent, like a show it to him, like see what he says, whatever. And Then if they're like yeah or no, then like, oh fuck, now we have to open auditions and do this and do this Like one of the ones that's I think, the coolest was I Can't remember his name either Um, the force unleashed. Yeah, video game for Star Wars. Yeah, like the star killer, the, the character they made the main character.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:They had Concept art out like this is what we want everybody to look like. So that was getting passed around and this guy's agent I'm gonna have to look up his name because it's bothering me but this guy's agent saw it and goes You're kidding me? Right? Like this is a joke, like what do you mean? He goes this, like this is what this guy looks like, like, exactly what he looks like, and he's like no. So he takes it to him, like shows him the concept art and shows him everything. Like he's a big Star Wars nerd. Yeah, so he goes to audition for the part that looks exactly fucking like him and I think he got it because of some. They had some question about something and he just like nerded the fuck out in the audition. Yeah of like he tripped out and like started getting super angry and like trying to like Get frustrated with using the force kind of stuff in the audition and I this is amazing like okay, yeah, you have it.
Speaker 2:I like him in that I like that game I like, then I'll let everything about it pretty much Nothing. It's about a lot of Baldwin, those they were at. He was asking him about different movie roles he had. He's like is there ever been a movie you were up for where you're like, oh, I could have done that better, or I Don't think I could have done it better?
Speaker 2:Sam Whitmer and he mentioned that a good fellas. He's like no, there's no way I could have done better than what Ray Leota did in that movie. So he was like so it's probably best that he got it, because he was up for that same role.
Speaker 1:I guess his name Sam Whitmer. Apparently he's gonna be in a soca, that's as Starkiller.
Speaker 2:That's awesome.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so um you know what the? You know what Starkiller looked like? Yeah, that's that's him. Yeah, they didn't do that on purpose.
Speaker 2:That's crazy. Yeah but it's strange to think, speaking of Ray Leota, that the last movie he ever did cocaine bear.
Speaker 1:That's just that was a weird movie. I finally watched it.
Speaker 2:I watched it it was a weird movie.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I really wanted to like it a lot, it was.
Speaker 2:No, some brutal moments, yeah, yeah, there were some people that definitely died in it, that I did not think we're gonna die in it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's Ray Leota. Operation Dumbo drop. He was in that great fucking movie.
Speaker 2:I actually haven't seen that one.
Speaker 1:What. Yeah, that was a really good fucking movie.
Speaker 2:I haven't seen it.
Speaker 1:It was Dennis Leary Ray Leota.
Speaker 2:Danny Glover in that one too. Yeah, I'm getting too old for this shit.
Speaker 1:I think there was like one or two more like pretty big names. Yeah that's a fucking hilarious movie. I gotta watch it.
Speaker 2:I, I just. There's a Simpsons episode where he's got the operation Dumbo Uh, dumbo drop jacket and he's like you can see, cuz they use the same D for both Dumbo and drop. That was a selling point of the jacket. Jesus Christ, yeah, but that was the group from the old, from the retirement home, one of the Abe Simpson lives in, and that was their, their thing. They wore the the movie jackets.
Speaker 1:Why is it so hard to look this up on the Christ? I typed in operation Dumbo and it's not coming up on IMDB.
Speaker 2:That's weird.
Speaker 1:Because it was already scrolled down in the search list. Oh, that's retorted. It's only a 5.2 out of 10. We had Danny Glover, ray Liotta, dennis Larry, duggy Doug and Corinne Nemeck, and then it goes off to all the.
Speaker 2:They already had a movie where they were transporting an elephant, but they didn't a semi, they didn't drop it.
Speaker 1:I what movie was that?
Speaker 2:Smoking the Bandit 2.
Speaker 1:I've never seen it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, you can see the Smoking the Bandit movies. Not the third one, you can skip that one, but the first two, yeah.
Speaker 1:I haven't seen any of them.
Speaker 2:Like I said, you should watch the first two, not the third one, but the first two For Ronald Dennis Finest.
Speaker 1:I'll add it to the list of maybes. There's a bunch of other ones that I found recently. I think there was some series.
Speaker 2:I always loved that Trans Am in that movie.
Speaker 1:That was the one with the massive fire chicken on it.
Speaker 2:That's what we used to call fire birds, fire chickens.
Speaker 1:It was an iconic car. I know about the series and movies and whatever.
Speaker 2:That was the car they actually took. It was a company that took the newer Camaros and converted them to be a Trans Am, the ones that they made. Bert Reynolds put an autograph in them.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 2:I was so jealous. I was like oh my God.
Speaker 1:I want that.
Speaker 2:I think Bert Reynolds. When I was growing up and you see movies with him, he was the epitome of being cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he went to TV yeah.
Speaker 2:He did a show Evening Shade.
Speaker 1:He's still doing Blue Bloods.
Speaker 2:No, he's dead now.
Speaker 1:Am I thinking of somebody else?
Speaker 2:Yeah, you might be thinking of somebody else Bert Reynolds is he passed away?
Speaker 1:They had the same mustache.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're thinking of Tom Selleck.
Speaker 1:Yep, that one yeah.
Speaker 2:But he was also Magnum.
Speaker 1:The two mustaches of Hollywood.
Speaker 2:Magnum PI. He was the original Magnum before the one they have out now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've seen part of it and I'm not. I've seen it in a movie called the Diver, and that's yeah, like that start taking shit that missed the mark and redo that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because Magnum didn't need to be redone.
Speaker 1:Magnum was really good. Yeah, the one with Tom Selleck was really good. Like Knight Rider was pretty good, but that might be able to be better with the new tech now and everything. Yeah, they could actually make like a good spy hunter series now yeah.
Speaker 2:I think pretty much anybody could be better than David Hasselhoff.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I've looked back and I've seen some of the episodes and thought hmm, yeah, they're cheesy, corny, not great. And one of the episodes when I saw him actually driving the car in Lava.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Wow, yeah, that's Time Trap. I think one of them is called Time Trap. They had a Darien Lambert in it. Yeah, really fucking good. Like they could redo that.
Speaker 2:Well, they did. Do they? Did, you know, make a movie out of Baywatch?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm yeah.
Speaker 2:I'll take the rock over David Hasselhoff.
Speaker 1:I never. I don't think I watched it.
Speaker 2:I did.
Speaker 1:I was almost sleeping.
Speaker 2:I didn't pay for anything, I just streamed it.
Speaker 1:There was something I remember about, like Mission Impossible or a very similar movie series that I've really enjoyed growing up, and I don't know what it is. I've rewatched the first three Mission Impossible's. It's not the movies with Tom Cruise.
Speaker 2:See how I haven't watched any of those.
Speaker 1:It's not the original Mission Impossible series, so I don't know what I'm remembering about Mission Impossible. That was amazing.
Speaker 2:I'm a James Bond guy.
Speaker 1:James Bond was great, but that's. There was something I know I had a couple of Mission Impossible games from the Super Nintendo, so like that might be bleeding over into the movies or TV shows.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But there was something that was like Mission Impossible spy hunter style. That was really enjoyable growing up.
Speaker 2:Triple.
Speaker 1:X. I don't know what the fuck it is. It's definitely not the same.
Speaker 2:Triple X was great, like I liked the first one. You know, in the beginning of it there's that bridge that he drops the center's Corvette off of One of my trips to Yosemite we drove on the top of that bridge and underneath that bridge it's in California. It's a tall fucking bridge. That's a fucking huge.
Speaker 1:I think that would be an awesome fucking trick to do.
Speaker 2:They're not buffing that one out, that's just that's. We didn't launch any cars off of it.
Speaker 1:We're on our way to Yosemite. You missed your chance.
Speaker 2:I know I should have done it I missed your chance. I could have parachuted out of a convertible. I had a convertible. I'm not sure if I could have taken a senator's convertible. There's senators in California that probably own convertibles that I could have taken.
Speaker 1:Yeah, speaking of that, one of them just died. Which one Feinstein.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, she was. She was around forever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's. I don't think we talked about it on here, so I don't remember who it was. I think it might have been somebody from Texas.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Just retired from the Senate or house or whatever the fuck, one of the governmental properties, and I think he was like 70 or 73. Yeah, and he was they're like. You know, like why did you retire? He goes because, like, I've been doing this a long time. It's not me or any of us that are this old that should be making choices for tomorrow. Yeah, they're like, so is this a call to your fellow senators and this and that to have them retire too, because I'm not telling them they have to.
Speaker 2:Maybe they should.
Speaker 1:I think they should, because we're not going to be around for our choices to come to fruition. So it's not us that should be making these fucking choices anymore. I agree, I was like holy shit, put him back in yeah.
Speaker 2:There's running for Congress I've talked about it before in Texas. I want to move to Texas just so I can vote for him. Brandon Herrera.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's fucking great. And he came out and he said I don't plan it. I plan to do one term. I don't. This is not a career for me. I am not a career politician.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I want to go in there. Yeah, you know, get things done and move on. I'm not he's like. I don't plan to go above it. I plan to just go in there and do this. I don't plan it like he's like. This should not be your career. You should not be a career politician.
Speaker 1:Well, and it didn't used to be no it didn't used to be.
Speaker 2:It used to be. You should have another job.
Speaker 1:You have your civil service or civil duty, civic duty, whatever the fuck yeah. And then you're trying to help everything get better, like small town mayors or small town fucking this and that, yeah, like you often have another job or another, something. You just want to see your area, your town, get better.
Speaker 2:You do it on weekends or on you know yeah. That's why they have short periods that they vote for. But now it's their whole job and they still only have the short periods. Yeah, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1:I think we need to reduce stuff, start back at a small level and then maybe grow it.
Speaker 2:Well, that was the thing is when the system was set up. It was set up that if it's not working, we redo it. Yeah, that was the whole purpose of it, Well and there's a.
Speaker 1:There's a couple of sentences built in there about redoing it, but if you fail, it's illegal.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, it's like they say history is written by the winners.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's actually a cool web series on YouTube where they talk about how different things are taught in the different countries, like how is World War II taught in Germany? How is the World War II taught in Japan?
Speaker 1:I think that would be a cool thing to see, like every side of.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you can see that with all on YouTube. It's a series on it.
Speaker 1:It's pretty cool. I might have to watch that a little bit this week.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think you'll enjoy it.
Speaker 1:Because that's.
Speaker 2:In between, watching what you're normally watching.
Speaker 1:I think history has been a growing interest for me, like it's always been kind of an interest, but it's been more of a growing interest of like, whether it's ancient stuff or like just.
Speaker 2:Well, a lot of it is when I took history classes and you learn what they teach you then. Then you find out later on that, yeah, you didn't really teach us what really Well. Not just that, there's a lot of what you didn't let us in on.
Speaker 1:Not just that When's the last time they've updated history books? I mean, like I haven't? Gone in and audited a fifth grade fucking history class, but like it seems like they don't update the history books.
Speaker 2:Like there was a time when I was in school and the history books didn't go very far and then it was like my time I got to a certain grade I could see Like presidents that were more current.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I mean like they would maybe go as far back as like Columbus, because like that's the start of America, but often they wouldn't go further back than that, like definitely not teaching people about like the dark ages, middle ages.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Like anything previous, like maybe it's the things we learned about because we had history class and we had social studies, and social studies is where we would learn about Rome and Greece and all of that, the history of that.
Speaker 1:How would that be in social studies? That's what it was.
Speaker 2:That's what we learned. Yeah, we learned about a lot of those different things.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I definitely didn't the Roman Empire. Caesar a little bit.
Speaker 2:You know, caesar got stabbed but no, not as much detail, as I've learned some things about sins. Yeah, that's what it makes me say. You know, it's like they leave a lot of it out and they just kind of go by the popular.
Speaker 1:I think they do that on purpose because of that is a very unpopular opinion, but because it's easier to have people follow in line when you control the narrative, when you limit knowledge, when you do all of that like that's the same reason that the Romans went around and burned every knowledge center during the like the Roman Empire rule.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Was because people that are intelligent Well, you control information. Yeah, you control information. You control people. Yeah, and that's the same thing as like it's starting to go kind of the opposite way a little bit, because people are like reading more of like the original Hebrew Bible or this or that, but it's still a lot of it is based off of the King James version of the Bible. Who King James was the one who said what was in it? Yeah, because that's what he wanted his people to read.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And not so like all these Dead Sea Scrolls that are. Oh, that's not part of who chose. It was a king in England that chose what to put in it. Like, even if you're reading the original Hebrew text, you're still reading the contents of what he wanted to put in. And what year was that? Like 1300? Yeah, 900? Some shit of that's where they were.
Speaker 2:But I'm talking like in elementary school. All the way through high school you learn about the Civil War. What's caused the Civil War? Slavery, but there was actually more involved in it than just that. Yeah, other economic factors, there was a lot going on. Yes, slavery was a huge portion, but there was more.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but especially if you start bringing anything of that up. Oh, you're a racist bigot and you supported the South and you're fucking Confederate, like try getting into a conversation about the Civil War with fucking almost anybody now it's wild.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, I'm not. I'm not in favor of the South. No, I'm not a Confederate. No, the South will not rise again. I didn't know. I would never drive around with a Confederate flag on anything.
Speaker 1:Unless it's the. What was it? The GTO?
Speaker 2:The General Lee. Yeah, the General Lee. Yeah, that was a charger.
Speaker 1:That was a charger. Yeah, what was it? What was I thinking of?
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:Huh, they demolished a lot of fucking cars for that.
Speaker 2:Yes, they did.
Speaker 1:An unfortunate amount of cars.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, but they uh yeah, cause cars aren't supposed to jump.
Speaker 1:No, no, not at all. That's yeah, have you seen pictures of how they used to deliver cars by rail car?
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:It's fucking, it's wild. So they have the cars come in. If you're listening on Spotify, you're just gonna have to use your imagination. Yeah, so they would have the rail car park and then they'd have ramps that come up to it from both sides and you drive the cars up like nose to nose, yeah, and then, like you lock them in and then the doors would fold up, so they're shipping the cars up and down on the train. So like they make the car, drain it off all the fluid, push it up.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And then up and down until it gets to its destination, lower the ramps back down and then push them off and then deliver them. Wow, they look fucking great. I'll have to find a picture.
Speaker 2:I remember, um, when I was selling cars, they had, uh, I got to see like a Dodge Dart show up and you would see like like foam on the side of it, like on the wheels and stuff like that kind of like. It was a flat screen TV and they did not have fluids in them. Cause people like no, I want a car that has zero miles on it.
Speaker 1:I'm like well, yeah, that's not going to happen.
Speaker 2:No, cause we have to put you know oil in it and run it through.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that one you see like the one side's already folded up and this side has the fucking ramps on the way on.
Speaker 2:That's crazy.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:That is cool. But uh, I saw, cause there was a BMW dealership right next to us. I don't remember what the model of the car is, but it's a uh, it's a sports car. It's an electric BMW sports car. It is a cool fucking car.
Speaker 1:The I8?.
Speaker 2:Possibly Sure it is.
Speaker 1:That, the one that's like silver, blue, a little bit of black and like this sleek. Yeah, it's the I8.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but they uh, when they I saw one of those getting delivered to the BMW and they had like most of the cars are on a trailer and you see a bunch of them on there. You'll see them all the time. Um, no, not this. This came in. It was almost like a crate, like you know, pods when they moved people.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And when they pulled this thing out, it literally was like unpacking a uh flat screen TV. This thing was covered in styrofoam, it was, it was nuts. But I was kind of jealous cause I really wanted that car. I was like that is awesome.
Speaker 1:I remember the first time seeing it at SEMA. It was fucking great. The line to the line to take a ride in. It was unbelievably long. Yeah, Like, yeah, I'm not even going to fucking try.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's just.
Speaker 1:Cut past people to like, oh, just look at it up close, and I just walked off.
Speaker 2:I remember, uh, when I was working at the Mercedes dealership, we had this car in the back and it was clearly for racing. You could tell it cause it was. I mean, it was a BMW, but like the seats were taken out and had a roll cage, it was solely for racing. It was not for, and I always wondered. I'd said to somebody I'm like, um, do they realize? There's a BMW dealership across the street? I'm not getting work done on it, but they're doing it at the Mercedes. But apparently the person had worked there and they knew somebody or something like that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean depending on how it is like, but it was in the shop a lot. If I'm not going to work on something, or like if I have friends that do whatever, they often don't take it to the dealership. They'll take it to either a buddy or like they work at a shop, it's one of their pet projects, so they just have it in the shop.
Speaker 2:But it was there a lot and I used to find interesting things there, Like one of the cars I was washing. I looked, I was, I pulled into the garage and I looked down. Actually, I looked at it, I saw it when I first got in the car. Right in the door you could see the holster with a gun in it Just sitting there right in the car and a knife in the holster also.
Speaker 1:I normally make sure that those are not in the car if I take it somewhere. Yeah, because I want them to.
Speaker 2:Well, the next time I watch that same car my possession.
Speaker 2:The next time I watch that car it was not in there. He definitely took it out. But but him, he had his valve stem covers. They look like 45 casings, which I thought was fucking cool. But then somebody else I don't know what the fuck she was doing she had her car, was in the shop for a long time and I would walk by at all times. I looked through the window. One day it was there for more than a month and when I started it had been there for a while. But then when I was working there, it was there for a month. I look in the back backseat, laying right in the backseat, wide out in the open. There's a glock sitting on there.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, just sitting there, Huh. So if I wanted to commit a crime yeah, I got a whole box of rubber gloves I just go, it's gonna be your from your prints on it.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Good thinking. Maybe don't leave something like that laying around.
Speaker 1:There's not a lot of people can be less than intelligent.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's true, and I'm going to say it again there is no such thing as common sense.
Speaker 1:But a lot of it also is like you don't think about it. So like the, the Kansas airport is like at the front of it, like when you walk in, before you get to security, it says are you sure you don't have anything in your bag? And like you walk past like six signs like that, and then there's a whiteboard with Polaroid pictures of everything that they've taken like from people's bags. It's like Kansas you can just carry guns around with you and do whatever. So like there's a lot of people oh fuck, I forgot I had that in my bag and I'm going on a flight. I feel like, as most of it, like they've confiscated a couple grenades, like guns, rifles, massive knives, like maybe just like every day, like it's with me country life, kind of shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like there's a lot of people that don't think about it, of like, what am I doing? Where am I going?
Speaker 2:There's some well known people who have gotten in trouble for trying to walk on the airplane with a gun. There was a coach in the NFL. Coach for the Dallas Cowboys got in trouble for trying to get a gun on him and he went to go on to get on an airplane. He was like in his, in his carry on luggage. That's a no, no.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean like Texas, it's almost an understandable.
Speaker 2:Well, he hit most of his career as a coach. Like in college, he was a coach at OU. You're the Sooners, oklahoma. Okay, yeah, I know that. I know that because they used to be the rival of Nebraska. They used to play the last game of the year day after Thanksgiving every year.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that like a lot of that seems like a fairly oh yeah, it's just like part of everyday life.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then they need to have somebody there being like listen, don't do this.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But also keep in mind this every once, while I've been in Walmart and you hear somebody always come across the intercom saying hey, did you bring your kid in? Basically, that's what the saying is yeah, If you have a kid, maybe go out there and make sure you don't have it in the backseat.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like that, because there was a couple of times that like, okay, like I'm going to get ready for a trip and do whatever, I'm like I haven't used this bag in a while backpack, duffle bag, whatever the fuck it is and I'll go through it. And I'm like I'm really glad I checked, like there was two magazines for my Glock in there or whatever this thing. Like there's two magazines in there and a knife. I'm like I'm really glad I checked before I went, because it's you don't know the last time you use this fucking bag or what was in it, or like I had taken it to the range, I guess.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So like check your shit Before you go somewhere, see when I was flying from from here to Denver to Omaha, this guy in front of me in security they're opening this shit and he's got all these. These tools are like yeah, you can't. Do you want us to ship this? No, just throw them out.
Speaker 1:Or you could probably check it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I could have done that, or shipped it one or the other. No, just throw it out. Try anything else here. Oh, nothing, just some bottles of wine.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think you told me about that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just more than three ounces.
Speaker 1:Throw it all out.
Speaker 2:Just throw it out. I just couldn't believe all the stuff he was having throw out. I remember one of the trips I was on. We were talking to the shuttle driver and they're like, so do you get a lot of tips and stuff? And he's like, well, every once in a while somebody will be on there and they'll realize that they have something in their bag that they're not supposed to have. So he's like, yeah, I've gotten some bottles of scotch and bottles of wine given to him. That's kind of cool.
Speaker 1:That's great. I mean, especially if you're a shuttle driver like you can kind of hustle that shit too of like hey, make sure you check your bag for anything that can't get through TSA. Yeah and oh fuck, like what can I do with it? I would be more than happy to take that for you.
Speaker 2:Oh that, what about old scotch yeah?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean if you twist my leg twist your leg. Yeah, either, or twist something that was bad.
Speaker 1:Give me the hole.
Speaker 2:I was getting a message. I thought of this because I mentioned about the Dodge dealership I worked at in Vegas. There's apparently on Gibson, there's a dispensary and it's called the dispensary. Yeah, they get these emails from them to send me a verification code. I'm like I'm not in Vegas, I'm not shopping at a dispensary and I'm not going eight hours to fucking shop at a dispensary.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So, and then yesterday I get one asking me what my shopping experience was like.
Speaker 1:Maybe somebody's using your phone number for rewards points.
Speaker 2:And I'm like, yeah, I don't want that to happen anymore. I sent them an email. I haven't gotten a response. Maybe they'll send me a coupon.
Speaker 1:Every once in a while I'll get random like authorization codes for whatever, and I'm just like delete reports, spam or like just whatever, so, like. So, if someone's expecting it, if they have access to my email, because like I have pushed, like as soon as I get an email, like normally, I'll look yeah, like I'll delete it and, like it depends on what it is, I'll go change my password for that site.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't think these people are getting the email, because I have like five of them in a row.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So it's like they'd gotten one of them that wouldn't need the other four.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, that's. I've never gotten that many in a row, normally it's one. I'm like this is weird. Yeah, like I don't click through that email. Does anybody listen if you don't click through the fucking email on your computer? Yeah, go to the site and change your password. Don't click on the fucking email.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because there's a chance it's fishing yeah.
Speaker 1:Pretty fucking easy way to get people's information. Doing that, yeah, because it's pretty easy to mimic a website.
Speaker 2:Well, that's how I was saying. I keep getting these emails lately telling me how my different subscriptions are expired, but out of the kindness of the heart, they'll give me a free 90 days.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just click here to log in.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And it's Netflix.
Speaker 1:I've got a couple from Netflix, and it's after I already canceled it. I'm like, yeah, you're real.
Speaker 2:Disney, netflix, disney, amazon Prime I think I got one for Peacock today or Paramount, they're just hitting every one of the subscriptions, thinking maybe we'll get them. On one of these.
Speaker 1:It works on people. That's why it keeps happening.
Speaker 2:But I know how Netflix and Prime and them work. They don't just expire. I mean, if you don't pay them anymore, yeah, yeah, you don't have anymore, but they don't offer you 90 free days for the privilege.
Speaker 1:Yeah, come back and we'll. We promise that we'll. No, if that was the case, I would be rocking some free, fucking three month subscriptions of everything, yeah.
Speaker 2:I do like Netflix. One thing I like about Netflix is that I actually went on HBO Max or Max yesterday saying maybe you guys ought to look at this because, like you go on to, it says recommended for you. And I scroll through this and I'm like okay, why is this recommended for me?
Speaker 1:There's a lot that's dumb on Max.
Speaker 2:And the thing is is it's not. I don't think it's recommended for me, I think just think they have shit that they want everybody to watch. So, they just recommend it to everybody. But there's some children shows on there. I'm not going to fucking watch. There's a lot of shows on there.
Speaker 1:I don't know that I've had it recommend any kid shows.
Speaker 2:I don't want to watch this, but there's some shows that they do and I'm like why don't you do it like Netflix, where it's? If you're interested, you can put like, if you don't like it, you put dislike, and then you can get better recommendations for your subscribers.
Speaker 1:Yeah because you can add stuff to your list but you can't really. It also bothers me that none of them have figured out that you can like put a watched or unwatched shit. Yet Netflix did, for I think it was like six months that you could mark watched and now it's gone. It was like there's a lot of shit that I'm like this looks really interesting and maybe it was enjoyable, but super mediocre and I don't remember until I'm like 20 minutes into it I'm like, fucking, watch this one back, Watch this one back.
Speaker 2:I remember when I first did Netflix though I thought their algorithm was amazing, because I would it would go through and go all right, like this, don't like this, like this. And then, when it had the recommendations, I was like that's fucking great, they're nailing it. I love all this shit.
Speaker 1:But now they're pushing their own fucking Netflix studio original. Now it's not working for shit.
Speaker 2:Now it's like recommending things and and sometimes I'll go on some of these subscriptions and I'm like, oh really, you're recommending something I put in my list. Huh, I wonder how you got that fucking idea. Good thinking, yeah. Oh you're like. I watched the show community. I'll go back to it every so often just because I love that fucking show.
Speaker 1:That's really good.
Speaker 2:Um, you probably don't need to recommend it to me, since I've watched it straight through more than one time on your service. Maybe you could just be like yeah, we know you'd like it, we don't need to.
Speaker 1:They also used to have a watch again on almost every service, and I feel like that's kind of falling off too.
Speaker 2:Um, like Max, they don't need to tell me you should watch the Sopranos. Wow, that's weird. I've watched it on your fucking service.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I should tell you I probably like it.
Speaker 1:Yep, it keeps popping up on like one of the tops on mine too. My account on yours.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I think I've watched it all on yours and I've watched it like two or three other times too, like that's.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I don't know if you've noticed, but my, uh, my icon on there is Tony. Soprano, so there's a good chance. I like it. Yeah, it's gonna be my ringtone. I also. Uh, I had the Halloween theme song the ringtone at one point.
Speaker 1:I kind of think about that. One sounds like I don't know that I've ever seen. It's creepy.
Speaker 2:It's one of the. It's one of the early on slash movies Like that was made before um by the 13th yeah, michael Myers was the first one, and that's apparently and I watched it when I shouldn't have been watching it.
Speaker 1:Um, talking about like missing small town shit and like a lot of stuff. There's been Facebook listens. There's been a lot of articles of like the, the eight or 10 like top towns in Georgia that you have to go to that are like look like just like out of a Hallmark movie or either Christmas or Halloween or like this or that. Like I might have to come up with a list of like the South and Midwest and a couple other places of like little towns to fucking go to that are just seemed dope as fuck.
Speaker 2:I want to do a list of towns that, um, you might want to avoid, because they look like they're out of movies, like children of the corn.
Speaker 1:I'm sure there's those lists, and now you're going to now you're going to get it, because you said it all out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. But I actually saw some videos where people are showing some towns. They're like, yeah, these are the worst towns in the country. And they show these towns and it's like, holy shit, there's a couple of towns in California Like it's not, am I going to get robbed? It's. When am I going to get robbed and how often?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so there's some places in California Apparently I would like to avoid living in. Actually, there's a all of California. Oh, it's good. Yeah, there's a it's, it's, it's. Fans from, uh, all the way from Oregon down south.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I've been to Oregon, oregon's beautiful.
Speaker 1:Oregon's. There's a lot of places in Cali that are beautiful.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, it's beautiful.
Speaker 1:But there's a lot in Cali that isn't beautiful.
Speaker 2:The Osemi is one of my favorite places in the entire world.
Speaker 1:I don't know if I've ever been. Oh it's fucking amazing If I have. I was super little.
Speaker 2:The valley floor is is amazing. That's where I was the first time and the last couple of times I was at May Lake. It's just like the, the everything's like. Granite is not that high anywhere else in the world. Like granite does not stack up as high as it does there. So I see mountains are made out of granite and that just that's an anomaly. That is not common. I don't.
Speaker 1:I'm not a geologist.
Speaker 2:Well, I I besides going there, I've also watched shows about it because it's fascinating. Like El Capitan, people travel from all over the world to climb the sheer rock face. You can actually you look up at it and you see cause you'll.
Speaker 1:you'll take a break in between climbing, you bracket in your sleeping thing and you're just hanging there, sleeping on this on this cot like thing, hanging from the side of this Heights don't bother me and I think I would enjoy getting into rock climbing, but I don't know that I'd ever be able to do that, because I turn and toss and like everything in my sleep. So, unless it's like the spacesuit jump bags. It's just like up and down and just like hang me by my collar.
Speaker 2:But you take your binoculars and you can see the spots with her up there and it's it's crazy tall and it's well known Like it's one of the top mountain climbing things for people to go to. Yeah, like I said, people go from all over the world to climb El Capitan. There was one instance where somebody was, which it's illegal to do, so anybody who's living, who's listening to this, who's thinking I want to go do this now, cause I heard it on this, don't do it. So you decided to go base jumping off El Capitan. Why is that?
Speaker 1:illegal. That sounds amazing.
Speaker 2:Well, but it's a little base, jumping off of bridges and things. I didn't. I don't make the rules, I'm just telling you it's illegal. So this person she was jumping off and, like her husband, was taking the pictures of her going down. Well, um, she didn't make it Like you could see it in the San Francisco Chronicle, like these different pictures from different points of her going down. The shoot just didn't open or she just didn't open, wow.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:See, that's uh why it's illegal. Plus, you see, if your shoe doesn't open and um, there's a good chance people down below don't know you're coming, yeah, yeah. So if you, look up. It's not like in um uh, pete's a Rama, when vendor's falling from along this and he's yelling so many fat get underneath.
Speaker 1:That I know it wouldn't be pretty, but just the the difference from, like if a rock fell from that high and hit somebody to a person fell from that high and hit somebody would it have the same effect.
Speaker 2:I don't know. Things actually have cause. They have these spots. You'll see where these rocks are, like they have a dome to them because of the way they break and they fall off and some of them, when they do fall it's it's a big deal, like it causes you. It'll register on a Richter scale. So I'm thinking of one of those lands on you.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, no, like if a rock lands on you, you're dead. Yeah, Like if a person lands on you, you're probably dead also. But like the the impact in an after effect of it, would you have to pick someone up with a scraper from a person hitting you as well?
Speaker 2:as a rock. Well, the thing is, you might actually have to pull the two people apart. Yeah, I was just going to say that. I was just trying to find a sensitive way to say that you might have to actually pull the cause. You're going to want to identify who's who.
Speaker 1:That's the original way of doing the Vulcan mind meld. Yeah Well, don't base, jump off of El Capitan or off the Golden Gate Bridge. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, I saw a crazy shot. They were talking about the Golden Gate Bridge, how they paint it. So start at one end, they'll be doing all the painting stuff and by the time they get to the other end they're going back to where they started and they're starting again, Like they're constantly painting it because of the corrosion.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it's a big bridge, but this guy was talking about how he goes there every day and he paints this bridge and talks about how multiple people he knew killed himself jumping off that bridge, but yet he goes there every day to work to paint that bridge.
Speaker 1:I don't, I mean.
Speaker 2:I don't know. I don't think I'd want to be, depending on how good a friend it was. I don't know if I'm going to be on that bridge painting it every day.
Speaker 1:Well, sure, but like if somebody drives a car off a cliff, are you going to stop driving?
Speaker 2:Maybe off that cliff or down that cliff, maybe I don't know, but it was just the way he was talking about it.
Speaker 1:They took away the suicide nets because, like, if you jump and hit the net, there's like an 80% chance, 90% chance you're climbing the edge of the net and jumping again and it cost a lot to upkeep those. So they were just like, okay, we'll just take them down, yeah.
Speaker 2:Plus, you had the people who wanted to use them as a trampoline.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I did see another one. That was an interesting job. It's not the same anymore. But at the Empire State Building there's that light bulb at the very top of it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, and this guy his job was to climb up there, and change that light bulb, I would do that there's actually a bunch of those of like different radio towers, satellite towers whatever the fucking column not satellites. Like different radio towers across the country that need the light bulb replaced like every six months.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've climbed up a good distance on one of those TV towers.
Speaker 1:There's somebody's job whose it is to go around and like, replace these eight or 10. That's it.
Speaker 2:Well, depending on how high they are because they have in between each one tells you how tall they are. I can't remember how much it is, but they have.
Speaker 1:They get paid like 70 or $100,000 a year to replace like eight light bulbs.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I didn't even get that high up on one because there was a TV transmitter in Omaha and I was going to climb up a good portion of it and it got really windy. Yeah yeah, I obviously went back down, but it was pretty fucking windy.
Speaker 1:It'd be fucking awesome to climb that.
Speaker 2:Well, you see, but I was climbing it, I didn't have what we call safety harnesses or equipment. So yeah, I mean, if I got blown off, I wasn't. There was nothing catching me.
Speaker 1:Parachute wasn't going to open.
Speaker 2:No, parachute was not going to open.
Speaker 1:Well, climb stuff safely and don't base. Jump over an hour and I have to pee again.
Speaker 2:Use safety equipment Not when peeing Well, I mean unless you need it, but when you're climbing hall things you say to me I don't even want to know what safety equipment would look like when you're peeing, what about?
Speaker 1:either. Okay, well, ask Mike what that's like I don't know.
Speaker 2:He had safety equipment for when, because he had an injury falling off the toilet. So he had a like a roller coaster.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, yeah, that show was kind of funny but like I had higher hopes for it.
Speaker 2:I liked it.
Speaker 1:Follow us on Facebook and Instagram at some offense intended. Twitter X, whatever, some offensive pod YouTube.
Speaker 2:Comment if you like the Cleveland show.
Speaker 1:Comment for whatever and comment more than yo, and we'll talk to you next time. Goodbye.
