Welcome back to some offense intended. I'm Jeremy Robinson.
Speaker 2:I am Mike Nick.
Speaker 1:Still daydreaming about Disneyland huh.
Speaker 2:Yes, Disneyland was great. I had so much fun. And the Star Wars, oh my god.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I really I've never gone, but I wanted, I kind of wanted to go before because I've always wanted to go. I just never got around to it yeah but now that I know how much Star Wars shit's there, like I've known for a while. But I really want to fucking go.
Speaker 2:Did you see my pictures? Yeah, it was like I was walking into Star Wars, yeah, and then one of the first ride that we rode on the first day, you're in this thing and it's uh, it's got the motion, so you're seeing on a screen.
Speaker 1:So it feels like you're moving, but you're is it like most of the 4d, like you go into a fucking like one of those go-kart places and they have the 4d rides. That's like super fucking nauseous and like just jiggles you and like it's fucking terrible. Or was it actually a good one?
Speaker 2:Oh, I loved it, every moment of it, and you went to different areas.
Speaker 1:Have you been on one of those cheap ones you don't have talking about no?
Speaker 2:I like. The ones I've been on were like it's just Bob, right, or whatever I remember. I went to like the Star Trek experience when they had that in Vegas and I went on a that one. Where was your riding on a chariot, doing a race, okay, and I had to do with Zeus and Caesar's, and so I don't know but this was I loved, it was great and it's like you went from different You've flew to different areas that you would see in Star Trek is there a race?
Speaker 1:is there actually air movement?
Speaker 2:I know that I remember that's.
Speaker 1:That's an issue I have.
Speaker 2:I was just I was just blown away by that, because You're in a ship first of all, so you're not really gonna have a lot of air moving around you.
Speaker 1:Well, you weren't an open no, but just the. It's the weird mind thing of like I'm moving but the air is still yeah. So like, even like in a car, I like the air to be on, even if it's low. Oh, just to have air movement. I don't know, it's weird.
Speaker 2:Well, I um, I watched, we went through the city, we went to course on and you can see like where all the cars try all the flying things go around, where Anakin had pre fallen from one car. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're flying through that. Of course, I didn't see Anakin anywhere, but that's unfortunate.
Speaker 2:Yeah, could have helped him out a little bit, yeah, but another part, like we, we joined the pod race, were flying through and you got all these pods. Next year they're slabbing India. That's cool, oh, it was great. And then there was the next ride we did. That was a. I Was considerably different, but it was. That's where they take three groups of two and they put you in a different spot in the Millennium Falcon?
Speaker 1:Yes, yeah.
Speaker 2:So Like they take two people there other gunners, two people of the engineers and and then two people for the pilot seats and I was so excited when I was told I was sitting in the pilot seat. I gotta tell you I fucking loved it when I sat down there and you had controls like the person on your left had a Right and left. I controlled up and down and also I controlled by speed.
Speaker 1:Nice.
Speaker 2:So when it said to me, you know when I, when I knew I was going to light speed, I'd already had my hand on the control, because most of the controls it would actually have, it would light up a light and tell you which one to go, yeah, I'm like, I don't need you to tell me. I watch this a lot, I know what speed is, so I hit that handle and you see it on the screen and just usually just take off nice.
Speaker 2:But then the last Star Trek Star Wars one we did I know I keep saying.
Speaker 1:Started to remind yourself. You got the Darth Vader shirt, the Star Wars hat. You're gonna write Star Wars on your hand.
Speaker 2:I'll have Star Trek on one and Star Wars on the other. But it's great, they actually take you on to a Star Destroyer to be interrogated to find out where the Rebel base is at.
Speaker 1:Nice. Do they actually have like the medical droid?
Speaker 2:No, they have. You see, like at first it's this video and, like you see, up on this thing, there's a Kyle ran up there saying he's gonna interrogate us personally, and I'm thinking of myself.
Speaker 1:Well, if I had to stare at that big nose I might tell him anything.
Speaker 2:We had his mask on, oh, okay good, but I saw him, um, I've seen him interrogate. He probably didn't need to interrogate all of us, yeah, because he can just pull the information out of your head. Yeah, I don't know, I think maybe, if, well, he's doing that, you're just like I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, maybe that's all he'll get out of you, but I don't know how that works. But then, um, you see him, you see other ones, you see, I put a picture of some of the stormtroopers on facebook, yeah, and then I, uh you, at one point you got on a video, um, because he's communicating you, because he's on a ship, on his a x-wing Tonya, he's gonna come rescue you and it's uh, it's po damra.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, I'm like, I don't.
Speaker 2:Kylo doesn't fly an x-wing bro and he wouldn't be erected skew in us anyway. Yeah, I'm like I don't, I don't understand.
Speaker 1:No, he's out.
Speaker 2:He's we're trying to be. You know we have to be rescued. Yeah, and we get on this transport in In the starter stroyer, which I don't know if you know how many people, as you run a starter stroyer, but it's a ridiculous amount of people at least, at least five, there's, there's 16 plus thousand On like a uh, yeah, I mean it's, it's a lot.
Speaker 2:So so we're going around, we got an astro joint on it taking us through and one of the coolest things we're in this room and then there's an ad at right above us. We're looking up. I'm like, oh my god, that's a fucking ad at. I'm just losing my mind at this point. Well then we get on this elevator, we're going up and you can see the, the stormtroopers on the ad hat looking at us like Um, they're not supposed to be there, so they go to shoot. And these, these laser beams come out of the ad at, go to either side of us. Nice, and I'm I'm like you know this, this is your uh starter story. You're hurting.
Speaker 1:Well, nobody said they were smart.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but yeah. But then there's more to what you're going through and you get out. Yeah, it's fucking cool. Nice, I had a lot of fun on that one.
Speaker 1:That sounds like every bit of Star Wars. That was cool.
Speaker 2:I loved it Because it literally felt like you were in parts of the movies and the books and all of that.
Speaker 1:That's, I think, either next year that you're after, I'm a go.
Speaker 2:I definitely want to go again.
Speaker 1:I'll definitely plan something.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1:How much were the tickets?
Speaker 2:Uh, we had prepaid for the tickets. Um, terry had ordered them all. Okay, we had. We had paid for all three days where the tickets were like $500 each.
Speaker 1:That's I mean. It may be not be horrible. I don't know the tickets on the offer.
Speaker 2:But we had, uh, we were at um California Adventure and at Disneyland. We went through all of it. I went um, I went to the Tower of Terror, which is not the Tower of Terror anymore. It's now, uh, According to the galaxy. Okay which I didn't know what?
Speaker 1:that's the one that like shoots you up and down, yeah, like the slingshot at Six Flags.
Speaker 2:It just. You're in a elevator, it just drops. Okay, so it's not actually like the, it's not, it's not like a slingshot at all Okay and you've got videos in front of you and at one point you shoot all the way up and you actually see outside all over the park.
Speaker 1:That's cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah, one point you go all the way up like you've been in the dark quite a bit, because every time you drop it's dark, you don't see shit. And then you stop and then like the door's open and something will happen with Guardians of the Galaxy, and then it'll close again and you do the whole up and down thing again. So when you get all the way up there and you hit it and since I went during the day, um, it was the first ride we did that day as soon as you get up top brightest fuck, you go from dark to sunlight, yeah, but it was cool and then it takes a picture of you up there and then drops down and there were some people with some small children on there and you could see their picture. These kids were fucking terrified. You see one kid like he's trying to hide behind his mom.
Speaker 1:I mean.
Speaker 2:Yeah, actually that person. She had started talking to me in the line.
Speaker 1:Nothing like good childhood trauma to start the day, yeah.
Speaker 2:I had a button that said my first time, disney man, first time. So she started talking to me Nice, um, yeah, it was great. And right after we got off that ride, which I I actually felt a little off like little Unbalanced unbalanced, to say the least and we went straight from there to like the biggest roller coaster there and that was fucking awesome too. There was no slow start on that one, there was a countdown and it launched our cars forward. That's right into the first hill popped up on my facebook memories.
Speaker 1:Either today or yesterday. It's been seven years since I've been to a An amusement park, because that's when I went to Six Flags, and LA Was seven years ago.
Speaker 2:She was even longer, since I've been to one. I had been to one in so many years.
Speaker 1:I think that was the first time in like three or four, so it's it's not an often thing, for me for sure. Yeah, I hadn't been in a long, long time because I also, like, I used to be afraid of heights when I was little and I got over that, yeah, and then I was still afraid of roller coasters, I don't know what happened like I would do the Batman at Six Flags, but I couldn't really do anything else.
Speaker 1:Yeah and then, just the last time I went, I went on fucking everything. I think it was actually the street bikes that fixed that for me.
Speaker 2:Probably well, they were supposed to. We thought Tron was going to be open when we got there, but it wasn't open yet that sucks um, and I think they're putting that at space mountain because Space Mountain was down over there and it was open up after we left. But the Matterhorn was cool, that was really cool. That was, uh, bob's Lads by this train. That went super fast, that went through all these tunnels and shit. That was really cool. Nice, oh, it was a good time.
Speaker 1:I also went to Cali this weekend. Well, I know you went last week, but I went to Cali yesterday. Yeah, but you went to Sacramento and Fresno, so it definitely wasn't as fun. Yeah, I found, uh, somebody selling parts for that Passat wagon that I have. That fucking apparently is one of the hardest cars to find parts for Because there weren't many brought to the states For the three years that they made that wagon.
Speaker 2:I actually knew so many back in vegas who had a Passat wagon.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I drove with a couple times. I had.
Speaker 1:I had to go buy the rear seats from him because when I sold the car to jimmy, I guess there was issues, whatever. So when I got the car back, uh, the rear seats, it has the, the split portion. So there's the single seat and then the double side to fill the whole bench. So he still had the single seat, but it wasn't. He didn't have the double seat anymore. He's like I don't, I don't know, like a move and this and that and like whatever else happened. So he's like let me know, like how much they are, and I'll just pay for him. So I started looking a while ago.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And been looking, been looking, been looking. So I was actually looking for russell for a tdi because he's like help me sell my car, get tdi, absolutely Fucking. I love how many people I've talked to to get in a fucking tdi. And so I'm looking for cars to send to russell. And here's this guy that has posted. He posted it 18 weeks ago Now it would probably be 19. I've typed in these exact words before on facebook and nothing fucking showed up before wagon parts, because b4 is the body code, yeah, wagon parts. I've typed in that exact fucking thing countless times over the past six months and nothing has ever popped up. Because, like you could look up chevy engine yeah, on facebook marketplace.
Speaker 1:Oh, you should it'll say like here's a ford, here's a motorcycle, here's this, here's the Ford. Yeah, I'm looking for a car that's not a ford. Yeah, I'm looking for a car that's not a ford, but like even if you use quotes like, this is the only thing I want to fucking see. It will not do it. So thankfully I found it, my message. I'm like hey, bro, you got the rear seats. Still he goes. Yeah, I'm like dope, how much. He's like a hundred bucks deal.
Speaker 1:But he's in Fresno like fuck yeah, so hey, like it's a hundred bucks, they'll fit in your car like no issues. They'll fit in your car. I didn't even have to move my seats. They fit in the back seat and it's cloth on leather, so I don't I don't have to worry about it fucking anything up.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm like it'll fit. If you want, I can either send you the money, I'll give you cash when you get back. And he's like I'm in a concert. I can't really talk right now and then yet, because I tried to call him, he didn't answer and then he just never responded again. He's like he talked to me. He's like sorry, he's like I was trying to work it out but I was so busy with doing whatever. I'm like that's fine. So yeah, we went to sec to get the other roommate a car. He got a mini cooper. It's in the garage.
Speaker 1:Nice and Then I'm like, well, I'm already halfway to fucking Fresno, so Talk to the dude. Thankfully he let me pick him up at fucking 11 o'clock PM, so show up. He's like, yep, here's the seats, here's how the brackets work, because I didn't take them out. So I'm like I, hopefully, was going to see them in a car. But he's like, yeah, this is how. I'm like, all right, I'll figure it out. And then drove five hours back.
Speaker 2:Now I've driven to uh, I've gone through Fresno, but I was going from Vegas, so a little different. Yeah but um.
Speaker 1:I got I think I got 46 miles of the gallon on the way out there and then how much uphill it is on the way back. It knocked the the whole trip down to an average of 41.
Speaker 2:Still, 41 is not bad.
Speaker 1:Buy a TDI or a Blue Tech.
Speaker 2:I actually looked into it at one point, but I end up not getting it.
Speaker 1:They're amazing. I love them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've heard. I did want to mention we were talking about roller coasters. The last roller coaster I'd ridden was at New York, New York and Vegas.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I haven't gone on that one.
Speaker 2:It beat me up. It was a rough ride. I haven't heard much good about that one. It roves you around so much when I went to the big roller coaster at California Adventure when I say big, it's big and it's incredible it used to be Scream in California, but I did not feel sore, I didn't feel beat up, I felt fine when I got off of it.
Speaker 1:Nice I mean that's. Very close to feel.
Speaker 2:I went straight. Yeah, I went straight from, I guess I went straight from Garden of the Galaxy to that. So I went to two sizable rides, one right after the other.
Speaker 1:Nice.
Speaker 2:But when we got to the roller coaster, at one point the line split off to two directions and they say to us you can go right or you can go left. We went right and we got right through. We walked. We could see the people who were ahead of us that went left. They were way back there. We were getting up to the front. We were on a car and they were waiting quite a while.
Speaker 1:I was going to ask if you got fast passes or not.
Speaker 2:No, we didn't get fast passes.
Speaker 1:Not another like $150, $200 a person, it's more yeah.
Speaker 2:And then you got all these regulations to it, like you can only do so much and you have to reserve or something. I don't even know how it works. It was just some stupid shit. It seemed like we were reading about it, but Just take a friend in a wheelchair. Yeah, we talked about somebody sitting in a wheelchair.
Speaker 1:Brandon could have played the part.
Speaker 2:No, we talked about something else we never did. But no, we went to the Indiana Jones ride on the first day. It was one of the last rides we rode Nice and the Indiana Jones ride was a lot of fun, but we waited a long time in line.
Speaker 1:I'm sure, especially towards the end of the day.
Speaker 2:But on the next day it was getting late in the day too, but the line actually moved for some. Even though the line went down at one point the ride went down at one point we still got through the line faster than it did.
Speaker 1:Oh, you rode it twice.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we rode it on two different days the first thing, the last day and we got through the line a lot faster.
Speaker 1:Maybe there was somebody that was having medical issues.
Speaker 2:Somebody knew how to manage the line better.
Speaker 1:It seemed like I mean it could be that too, Because I was like Fast fast, fast, fast.
Speaker 2:And it was like forgetting that there's a huge fucking line right over here, that maybe you could let some of them in. I understand that Fast Fast has priority, but you know there's still yeah you do like 75, 25.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but there were new one, let these two and we're just watching and not moving and we were getting pissed. Same thing happened in Star Wars, but then they had this other person running it the next time we got actually got through, and there was a part where, like the first time, I was in the front of the car.
Speaker 1:I bet those people that were mismanaging the line are the ones that never bought Fast Passes when they went to Six Flags or Disneyland before they worked there. Yeah, and they were like no fuck that these people in the line can wait. I never had a Fast Pass, I guess.
Speaker 2:Well, maybe they did have a Fast Pass. I guess it would be opposite then, wouldn't it? Yeah, and they're like fuck them.
Speaker 1:I had a Fast Pass and I had to wait that long. That's what it would be, yeah.
Speaker 2:But I rode on the front of the Indiana Jones ride the first day, yeah, and the last day I was on the very back and there was a drop at one point, a steep drop. It felt like a lot more when I was in the front than it did when I was in the back.
Speaker 1:Oh well, yeah.
Speaker 2:And I was throwing around a lot in the back, it felt like it was rougher in the back.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because it's a tail whip, but it was still fun to ride. It's tail whip physics.
Speaker 2:It was still so much fun, yeah. So I definitely recommend Disneyland, that's good and it was worth the wait.
Speaker 1:And that's so this shirt. I don't know if you can tell what it is. It's a Halo character. Mike got me for my birthday and the next episode. I'll just change between up because we're going to record two today. Yeah, I'll just go put the chewy shirt on. Mike got me a shirt from Disneyland.
Speaker 2:Yes, it's got to back on. If you didn't understand what chewy meant.
Speaker 1:Not the dog food company.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Which.
Speaker 2:They're probably a good company. I don't know.
Speaker 1:They'd be a good company if they paid us.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, they'd be a really good company.
Speaker 1:Speaking of paying us. So I found a website finally, because I was thinking about it the other day and I'm like I either need to talk to you about where's the podcast going or I need to get in gear and start fucking doing shit with the video we need to come out.
Speaker 1:Or doing whatever to actually start it going somewhere. So I looked up AI video editing or podcasts, because you can do AI video editing that doesn't have. It's not going to fucking help us at all. So I found like five or six different ones and watched a bunch of shit on them. A couple of them had free demos, but a couple of them didn't really seem like they did what we needed to do, because up until we get a new camera, I think this one's decent quality for now. So we need and it's the issue that I have with fucking Riverside of doing the clips is because it only does the center. So the one that I found and I'm going to talk to them about, like after I start using it, if possible I like the.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I saw the video when I was out of town.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So I'm going to talk to them after because I worked out a deal with them because it's like $60 a month for and you get 24 hours a month of video upload so that you can edit all of that. So I'm going to do two months of that so we can catch back up, so we can upload like all the old video episodes and clip all those, and then after that it goes to 30 a month and we have eight hours of processing. So we'll still have plenty after and we'll just catch up in the first two months and we'll get clips of every fucking video.
Speaker 1:But the good part about this one, and why I chose this one, is it has focus frames, so like I can drop one frame here. So if you're listening on Spotify or something, sorry, you're just going to use your imagination. So it's like it's me on the left side of the screen, mike on the right side of the screen and the issue with Riverside and a lot of the other video edits is it'll only draw into the center. You can't choose, you can't change where the frame goes to.
Speaker 2:Like run TikTok or Facebook, real layouts, so this one, it seemed like it so this one. It'll show me talking or you talking.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so you can actually change it. There might be a little bit more like that, a little more editing to do it that way at the beginning. Yeah, but also they have, and because I uploaded an hour and did it for free for a week, so I uploaded an hour and had it just chopped up into clips and you can choose the style. So you've probably seen the style on Facebook reels of like it has the bottom half of the screen is one person and the top half is another person and then it can like zoom out into both of them.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm going to use to start with, because until we get two cameras, that's when it's super easy. Yeah, well, as long as we can get something, then I can tie microphone two to camera two, microphone one to camera one, and then it can just switch back and forth super easy.
Speaker 2:As long as it's something we can get to fit in reels and TikTok, yeah, no, in it 100%. You're screwing with all that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that's, I'll be working on that in two, you know, a week and a half two weeks and the lady I messaged about it because I was asking questions.
Speaker 1:I'm like, hey, I have this backlog of videos that I haven't done anything with. Can I do this first and then do that? And she's like, yeah, and she's like you don't have to pay the yearly, because it's like $25 less a month to do a yearly on that 24 hour one. So instead of paying like $85, I'm like, is there a way I can switch it to the 30 after two months? And she goes oh yeah, no problem. She goes I'll give you a coupon code and you use that for the first two months at the yearly price and then, after that, then you do the yearly, the 12 month on the $30. So I'm like I'm perfectly fine with that.
Speaker 1:Is it okay if I messaged you in two weeks when I get back and have time to do all this? She's like, yeah, absolutely Perfect. She goes, by the way, I don't know if she looked us up or what, because I've definitely put that I'm going to use it for podcasting and put some offense intended in my signature and she's like thanks. And she's like your podcast looks hilarious. And she's like I'm definitely going to look it up and hopefully. I feel the amount of offense intended.
Speaker 2:I thought that was a clever.
Speaker 1:Clever retort from her.
Speaker 2:I wanted to wear my hopefully you're listening and thanks. I wanted to wear my hoodie at the park, but the weather was great every day. It would have been hot, yeah. Otherwise I would have been carrying it on every ride. Yeah, that's awful. It was like 80 degrees during the day and it didn't get that cool at night, wow, so I didn't need a.
Speaker 1:I didn't that's impressive.
Speaker 2:I was comfortable the entire time, did not need a hoodie the entire time or a sweatshirt or nothing, huh yeah. So I brought two hoodies with me and didn't wear either of them, Although I did during breakfast. I wore one downstairs and I had Brandon wear the other one. So we had two hoodies. Whoa, that's great. But there is one other where I don't want to mention before I forget. There was a Mickey Mouse ride, which was we didn't know what to expect.
Speaker 2:So we walk in and it looks like you're like, at first it's just like a movie theater. So I'm like, okay, well, I don't know what's going on here. So I walk in and it's like you're walking through this museum, you're looking at all these different props, like they're from them, they're from the cartoons, but they're actual physical things. So you can see them and you're walking through and you get to this end thing and I'm like we're not moving. Are we at the end of this? Is there more going? Cause it seems like there must be more, because otherwise you'd think the line would be moving. Yeah, if there were just exiting, they'd be going, but nobody's moving. So I'm like what's going on? So then they take us down the hall and they put us into a movie theater where we're all standing watching and Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse are on their way to a picnic. Okay, then you see a train. This train has an unfortunate incident and there's an explosion Like well, a pie.
Speaker 2:That's an unfortunate incident. Well, a pie goes flying out of their picnic basket, ends up in the smokestack and it goes into this wooden thing and it just explodes. You see this huge explosion on the screen, but there's more to it. I like it. It's dark.
Speaker 1:I think they didn't eat that pie, then didn't it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, apparently they used the wrong ingredients, yeah. But the next thing, you know, it's dark and then the lights come up and in the screen where the explosion happened there's a hole in the screen. Yeah, I know, I keep hitting that there's a hole in the screen and you walk through there, you go and then you go through this where the hole in the screen went. So I don't, I'm not expecting any of this to happen. That's fucking cool.
Speaker 2:Then there's a train, so you have to go and you get on this train and then, as you're going, all the train cars separate and they're all going in different directions and shit. You're flying all over this whole room and you're going and you see all this stuff on the screen. You see Goofy doing something, you see Mickey and Minnie. You go around and end up driving around a tornado at one point. You're just literally just flying all over the place. It's actually it would be a lot of fun and everything was just unexpected. I didn't know what was going to happen next. Huh, that's cool. So I enjoyed that one quite a bit.
Speaker 1:Nice.
Speaker 2:More of the unexpectedness of it. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:That's speaking of weather. I kept forgetting to fucking talk about it past what two or three episodes we recorded? Yeah, so September 30th, I think.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It snowed at Mount Charleston in Vegas.
Speaker 2:Yeah, heard about that.
Speaker 1:And then I think it was like either that day or like a day later, a gold field like between Vegas and Tonopaw got fucking hammered with snow Damn Hammered Like there was pictures. The road was frozen. There was probably like four, six inches on the fucking ground.
Speaker 2:Damn.
Speaker 1:At the beginning of October, September and September. Like Mount Rose, I think this week or last week just got its first snow. But I just saw something on the weather channel that because El Nino's rolling in.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You don't know what El Nino is. It's a massive like weather pattern that normally brings like all kinds of weird storm cold.
Speaker 2:It's caused by temperature changes in the ocean.
Speaker 1:And it showed the layout and like what the expected weather is for winters across the nation. Yeah, we're supposed to have a higher temperature than normal winter Woo, which, yeah, so like less bullshit to deal with. But the southeast like Georgia, florida, alabama, all that is going to have a fucking cold winter.
Speaker 2:Not going to get pounded Cold. It's going to be cold.
Speaker 1:So we'll see how it goes. Because I add, because I have a, if I'm six, two, I'm tall. I bought a snow shovel that they sell at Home Depot and it's uncomfortable as fuck because I'm not like five, eight, who it's designed for.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So I found one online and it was only like 50 bucks at Home Depot and now it's sold out and everywhere else it has it. It's like $130. For it's a tall like. It's got a 36 inch wide blade and three foot wide blade and it's like a three foot or three and a half foot handle. So it's actually a fucking like a decent size, fucking shovel. That would be perfect for me. So now I have to find fucking some others because I'm not paying $100 for snow shovel 50. I was definitely considering, I think, the one I have I paid like 23 for. So if I have to pay double to have a a me sized shovel, that's fine. Yeah, because then it would also be, I could clear the sidewalk in one swipe. I wouldn't have to do fucking two passes on the sidewalk.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that'd be nice.
Speaker 1:And then it'd be super easy for the driveway too. So it might end up it might actually be worth the money anyway. But now I have to see if I can find somebody that hasn't been stuck, because apparently a lot of people were stocking up for expecting a nasty winner, because it would happen then in September.
Speaker 2:Yeah, flying up the shelves apparently, yeah, but speaking of height, I didn't think about it when we were going to Disneyland and apparently I was the tallest one in the group. So they would say that when we're trying to, when we'd get separated when they try to find.
Speaker 1:They're like look for Mike.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I'm not really that tall, I don't feel like. But yeah, I was the tallest one in the group.
Speaker 1:So I also I don't know here. It was fucking hilarious. I completely forgot about it until I read the note there was this lady at work. I was getting coffee I want to say it was beginning of the day, I had a bunch of things, I was getting coffee and there's this lady, this little old lady, older, like maybe mid to late 50s, but kind of unhealthy 50s, and she's talking about like, oh yeah, I just had a couple days off. It was like towards the end of the week. I just had a couple days off. I'm like, oh, that's always nice. She's like oh well, not really. Why is that? She goes. Oh, I was just out, she goes. I got all my COVIDs that's what she called them the vaccines. I got all my COVIDs, I got all this, I got all that and I went and got this flu vaccine. Oh, I was horribly sick. I just I'm like Jesus.
Speaker 2:Christ, I don't recommend you getting them all at once.
Speaker 1:First of all, I don't think she meant she got them all at once.
Speaker 2:All right.
Speaker 1:Because, like I've had all my COVIDs, like she was like keeping up, like keeping everybody apprised of her fucking full status and she's just like I don't know, I don't understand how I could get like after this one and after that one, like I didn't feel too good but I wasn't sick and I dis Like, if you notice a pattern here, if you don't fucking feel good for a while after you fucking do something, maybe stop doing it, maybe stop doing it. That's one of the reasons, like I stopped drinking recently is I feel fucking absolutely horrible the day after, like because how much it takes to get me drunk is annoying, and then how drunk that is later, it just feels miserable the next day. So, like I actually came up with a term for it that I think is fucking works. Perfect is like the act of drinking. You're stealing all of tomorrow's dopamine Because you're happy as shit when you're drinking. You're happy as shit when you're drunk, but the recovery day there's no happy.
Speaker 2:No, there's no happy You're stealing all of tomorrow's dopamine. So and when I used to drink quite a bit, the other next day I just feel just run down. Yeah, Part of it also has to do with when you go to sleep and you've been drinking, you're not actually getting a good rest.
Speaker 1:No, not at all.
Speaker 2:So that's why, yeah, but I would feel exhausted.
Speaker 1:I mean, how much it dehydrates you is fucking astonishing too. It's all liquid, but it's not.
Speaker 2:I saw a lot of people at the park drinking beers and stuff and I'm like I'm good.
Speaker 1:Oh, bro, probably like fucking $12 for a can. A regular size can would be $12 at Disneyland. I saw him drinking, meets a lot of us as we're walking around and I'm like, See, like maybe a margarita, Just because like how refreshing and ice and everything like that would be. I think one at some point during the day would be nice. So I drank some frozen lemonade. I mean, I would take a frozen lemonade over a margarita.
Speaker 2:I drank some frozen lemonade. I drank some Sprite.
Speaker 1:That quenches your thirst, nice, nice.
Speaker 2:Plus, it doesn't have caffeine. Caffeine and soda is what dehydrates you.
Speaker 1:Is it still is quench your thirst, still Sprite slogan, or no?
Speaker 2:I think so.
Speaker 1:I think it's a thirst quench, or still, if any lawyers are listening, that does not quench my thirst. If you think I have something, talk to me.
Speaker 2:I like.
Speaker 1:Red Bull got sued over not giving you wings, just saying.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I found it enjoyable.
Speaker 1:I like it can be enjoyable, but if I'm thirsty and I have Sprite, I'm still fucking thirsty. Yeah, it does not quench shit.
Speaker 2:Well, I can tell you that they didn't have Dr Pepper at the park, which I wasn't gonna drink Dr Pepper at 80.
Speaker 1:I was gonna say surprise, you wanna go back?
Speaker 2:I had picked up some Dr Pepper at one of the stores near there and I put some in the refrigerator in the room. And then I was wondering because I actually ended up packing one in my bag, because I had my backpack as a cooler on it and I'm not drinking it.
Speaker 2:So it ended up coming back with me and I was going to drink it on the drive, but my bag ended up being all the way to the back. I didn't want to have to dig through the whole thing, so we ended up stopping someplace.
Speaker 1:I was going to say make them get it.
Speaker 2:And I ended up picking up the Were you driving or no? No, I was riding.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay.
Speaker 2:But I ended up picking up a couple of Powerball tickets and Dr Pepper.
Speaker 1:Nice.
Speaker 2:Which I did buy in Southern California and the winner of the Powerball was in Southern California, but that was not me, it was like $1.7 billion yeah. It wasn't me, because I think I probably would have led the episode with that.
Speaker 1:I honestly don't think I would until I actually have the money, because it takes a long process and whatever.
Speaker 2:Well, I would have hinted at it, yeah.
Speaker 1:And that's like it would have been. We wouldn't be in this room, no more, and we would have a different camera. Yeah, we'd have the what is the S7s or whatever the fuck those are? Yeah, but I We'd have wingback chairs.
Speaker 2:I'm pretty sure you would have noticed that something would have changed, because I might not have been at work.
Speaker 1:I honestly think I would stay at work.
Speaker 2:I would stay until I got my first amount of money because I'm pretty sure I'd go there and something would go wrong or I'd hear some kind of bullshit from somebody and be like fuck this.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I would stay at work and start pushing buttons more than normal, which might be surprising for some people to hear is I like to push buttons? Oh yeah, I would push buttons more than normal until something happened.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:And then chose. But so you said, until you got your first money you would take the payments.
Speaker 2:Well, I don't know how I would do it. I haven't decided. But I'm just saying until I got something at some point, I would get money.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because I have 100% left some yeah absolutely, I wasn't meaning payments, I just meant in general just money. So anybody that doesn't know how lotterious it works is like you can take the quote, unquote full amount, like so say it's $1.7 billion. You could get the $1.7 billion across like 29 years.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm telling you, but they're not equal payments, so it starts with across 29. I don't feel like doing the math but we'll call it Because that was to split evenly and be like three, like 3.2% roughly, because 30 times 3.3 is 100. So call it 3% is what you should expect if they're even but, they're not.
Speaker 1:So, like the first year, I think, you get like maybe $100 million, which is still a lot, but then or 20 million or some shit because of taxes, and then you pay taxes per year on each payment and then increasingly as the years go on. So, like year one it's going to be easy math We'll call it 1 million. Second year it could be like 1.4 million. Third year it's 1.7 million. Fourth year it's 2 million, and then it slowly, incrementally builds and then the last payment is the biggest payment.
Speaker 1:But I don't know if you know what this thing called inflation is. That money is always going to be. I mean, it's still a fuckload of money. Don't get me wrong. You still do a lot of shit with those payments and if you don't know how to manage money, maybe that's a better option. But what I would do is because that that last payment is always going to be the same amount, no matter what you fucking do, no matter where the country goes Like, and if, if they go out of business and they don't have the fucking money to pay you, maybe you don't get it all.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:If that company goes out of business, if you can't do this, if this, if that, whatever. So I would take the lump sum, which ends up, I think, being 40%, because California still give me a lot. Yeah, so California takes taxes. Obviously federal takes taxes. Like it's not the lottery winner at the wins, it's the IRS, for sure. Oh yeah, so like 1.7 billion would probably be a $700 million payout.
Speaker 2:Yeah, tell me that.
Speaker 1:Or $700 billion, because it's 1.7. So $700 billion payout. Well, it's one point.
Speaker 2:I fucking yeah. It's not going to be more than one, it's not, that's 700 million.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 700 million. I was right the first time. So $700 million, bam, here you go. So now, with that, if you buy random shit that makes you money buy an apartment complex, buy a bunch of houses to rent out, you buy this, you buy that, you buy fucking I don't know whatever company that's just fucking making money you can get up to the point where you're making like a million or $2 million a year in income and cash flow for waking up and brushing your teeth in the morning and that money can go up like rents, go up with fucking society, and that money that you paid for all of it is always going to be that same price because you paid it already. So you're actually on the other side of inflation doing that. Yeah, that's why I would take the lump sum.
Speaker 2:I would take the lump sum, but I would also I mean, I would invest some of it, but I would also write off the bad. I'd probably get some fun things that I really want. Don't need what I want.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I would definitely.
Speaker 2:I mean I mean like I do, I would buy a house. I mean I would want to you know live in, some Without much money yet. But I might get a nice car or two, maybe a throwback car, maybe a custom thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I think like taking care of bills first and then definitely you know a studio. Yeah, but like bills, like I would pay off my car and pay off this and that and whatever. So I don't really have shit to deal with that isn't making me money and then start buying shit that will make me money, and then buy toys.
Speaker 2:But like, like, if I bought a house I could put a studio in there to do the podcast. Yeah, I have some all set up to be a nice studio.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's not a 10 by 11 bedroom.
Speaker 2:We did have a couple of cameras and it'd be.
Speaker 1:Yeah, have some TVs on the wall, not windows that we have to have curtain strapped over.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Actually soundproof-ish, so I mean it's a lot better with these mics.
Speaker 2:But oh yeah.
Speaker 1:So you don't just hear fucking Mr Honda down the road.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, not table, fuck it yeah.
Speaker 2:So I mean, I was talking to Mr Honda and I immediately thought of E Honda from Street Fighter. I don't know if you ever played Street Fighter 2, but A little bit, but not much E. Honda was the Sumo Rassway guy.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay.
Speaker 2:And he'd do the slap with his hand.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know the character. I didn't know his name.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was his name. I haven't played in a long, long time. I don't play fighting games anymore. I got tired of them.
Speaker 1:They get old.
Speaker 2:But yeah, there was somebody that we worked with, that works at the same place as us, who dresses Vega for one of the Halloween's who, vaga. He was another character on the. He had the claw on one hand.
Speaker 1:Sounds kind of familiar.
Speaker 2:He was on Street Fighter II also. I thought it was funny that he he dresses as the gay character.
Speaker 1:I also have a note here. I guess there I want to say it was Vegas, but I don't. I don't for sure know they were talking about like bottomless mimosas and like on some of their brunch, like all you can eat whatever. Yeah, that they have bottomless mimosas. Yeah, I've heard of that and I've been to one, so I'll tell that story after.
Speaker 2:You have to. I think it had to be a woo girl to go to that.
Speaker 1:So it was for a wedding party. So a friend of mine's like best friend was in town with his bride to be never having. It's basically like a together bachelor party kind of shit. So like there was three or four chicks, three or four guys, and then we went to I think it was like 10 people total. We went to the brunch buffet because they wanted to and then like here's, what are you doing? What are you doing? Stop doing stuff on. Um, and they had bottomless mimosas, so I'll get to that in a minute, but it was. The woo girls were there and they were just on the on the bread side, all right.
Speaker 1:Um, this article I was reading says that because of how many people over consume bottomless mimosas, but they're going to start adding a $50 cleaning charge when you throw up.
Speaker 2:See now the double down they had you could get throw up insurance. So when you went in, so if you threw up you were fine because you paid for your throw up insurance. But apparently they're too classy to have throw up insurance at the place with the mimosas.
Speaker 1:I didn't know that I've only been a double down, like twice Now people had told me about it.
Speaker 2:They also were known for the bacon martini.
Speaker 1:And they're ass juice. Yeah, as you see, Because they over pour over. So anybody that doesn't understand what that is double downs of a bar in Vegas that cleans toward like the metal side.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's it's considered a guy bar.
Speaker 1:It's a very grungy like not not clean, not clean place. Yeah.
Speaker 2:So it's well known all over the world.
Speaker 1:They really.
Speaker 2:Yeah, people know about it in other states, other countries.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Actually I have a great story about when I went there that night too. But so what they do is they have like the stainless steel, like kitchen style countertops and they over pour every shot so that it makes just like an alcoholic mess, that they scrape into a bottle, a bucket and then pour it on a bottle or whatever, and that is ass juice. So it's a mixture of every alcohol.
Speaker 2:They've got the mat underneath the glasses that they pour into. Every bar has one of these mats. They sit in a and if there's an over pour it catches it, so you don't have it all over your bar.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So they'll take that mat and they'll pour it into a glass and they call it a dirty squirrel. But it double down, they pour it into something else and they call it ass juice.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it's. It's off like the full countertop, so like that would be a little like depending on how often they clean the mat.
Speaker 2:Oh, you don't want it from me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, I would be more fine and I had a couple shots of it off of the counter, because, like you can easily wipe a fucking counter down. Who's really cleaning those?
Speaker 2:mats. Well, you kind of had to Like when I used to bar, we kind of had to clean them.
Speaker 1:Well, sure, but how well can they get cleaned?
Speaker 2:That's pretty good. Yeah, I used to clean. Yeah, I'd put them through the glass washer. I'd put them through the whole process, put them through the sanitizer, oh, okay. Well, if you didn't, then you'd end up with a whole lot of fruit flies hanging around your bar.
Speaker 1:No, okay. Well, you don't want that customer Either way, so that's, that's what that is. So we'll go back to the cleaning fees. I didn't know they had that fucking insurance. That's funny.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So I was talking about it with somebody and they're like, yeah, that's, that's not enough. I'm like, well, per person, like yeah, that's still not enough. If you have a table of fucking like five, if one person throws up or if 10 people throw up, you still have to clean up. Throw up, yeah, and at that point, like you can almost mop it up. You'd have to mop it up if it was 10 people throwing up. And then it's the same amount of work. So if you have 10 people throwing up 50 bucks a piece, you're getting paid $500.
Speaker 2:Do they have table cloths?
Speaker 1:I'm sure I'm just saying because, yeah, then you can just mop it up Like just you just pick.
Speaker 2:You have to pick the shit off of it.
Speaker 1:Yeah Well, I mean, it depends on if they throw up on the table or on the floor yeah, Um, yeah.
Speaker 1:So like that I think it's a smart idea, Like a lot of people that don't know their limits of when it's going to happen, kind of shit, and like, oh, I have to drink all of it right now because they might kick me out or whatever. So my bottomless most of story is cause we had 10 people, so like the the most, the guy would come around with a cart of mimosa pitchers and fill up the flutes and he was like I'll go around the table and like if you're done drinking it, I'll fill it up again. I'll go around the table again. I'm like, okay, so I had already drank my water from the big ass plastic cup. So I just poured one into it and he didn't see. I'm like, can you just fill this up? And he was like, no, I can't fill that up. I'm like, okay, I got it.
Speaker 1:So like he was going around the table and I was taking mine and the two people next to me as soon as he filled them up and like turned his back, I would dump it into that fucking big ass cup. So he I think he ended up going around the table like fucking eight times in a row at one point, so my cup was full and I had probably another like seven or eight at least flutes while we were sitting there. So we go to leave. Everybody's like well, you have to finish drinking that. I'm like no, I don't Like it's an all you can eat buffet at a casino. I've taken this cup with me and just walked out with the fucking full cup of mimosa.
Speaker 2:Nice.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So like that's yeah, and you know what I didn't do that day. I didn't throw up, I did not throw up.
Speaker 2:You didn't get the full experience. I'm sorry you missed out on part of your experience.
Speaker 1:So when I went to double down, that was, I still have my prelude.
Speaker 2:Did you have a bacon martini? No, I've never had one either.
Speaker 1:I did have a DUI the next morning, though.
Speaker 2:All right. So, I'd rather have the bacon martini, me too.
Speaker 1:I definitely don't recommend getting DUI's. It's expensive, not fun and it takes a while and a lot to learn stuff sometimes. So I go outside to smoke a cigarette because you can't smoke and I don't think you can smoke and double down, even though it's just fucking trashy.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So or I just went outside for fresh air either way, so they were doing like a live metal band and I go outside and I have. I had just gotten the prelude that I bought at GSR parking lot in Reno and driven back to Vegas, so looks like it's straight out of Fast and Furious. Like ridiculous fucking wing, like body kit bolt, like everything, like fucking coolest shit. I was 21, I think, at the time, and so I parked it outside the bar back then and I go outside to smoke a cigarette or have fresh air or whatever, and the drummer from the band that was just playing the stick and a break is leaning up against my car, talking to these three chicks and like talking to them like it's his car.
Speaker 1:I'm like that's. I look at my buddy that I'm with and I'm like I'm just giving him like a smile and I'm like watch this. So I'm like, hey, man, I like your car. It's like thanks bro, thanks. Like you know, I love doing it. Like I work on all of it and like blah, blah, blah, this and that. And I look at the chicks and I'm like so do you want to ride? Like what.
Speaker 1:And I go over, open the door again and start it, like two of the chicks got in. We went over to the other bar across the street and it's a drummer. Was so fucking mad.
Speaker 2:Of course.
Speaker 1:Oh, fucking mad. All right, that's fucking one of the most golden opportunities ever and it works perfectly.
Speaker 2:Nice. What was he going to do when they're going to, if any of them wanted to go someplace with them?
Speaker 1:Oh, we can't take my car. Oh shit, where are my keys? I bet I bet so, and so had him, and he went back to the hotel.
Speaker 2:So I guess I'll have to get it. Tomorrow I'll have to get a different car. Yeah, I'll have to call over because I drove two cars.
Speaker 1:It was fucking 09 or 08. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I brought two cars here today, so we're going to take the other one.
Speaker 1:That was 2011. I don't think Uber was a thing yet. Yeah, had it been a cab, or yeah, I'm just well. My buddy said I could borrow his car. I just happened to have his key in my pocket.
Speaker 2:Yeah, good thinking there.
Speaker 1:Yeah no, it's fucking hilarious.
Speaker 2:But there was actually a time I was told I didn't see it myself, but I was told that the backup people that do music for Blue man Group used to go there and play on Sunday sometimes.
Speaker 1:That'd be cool.
Speaker 2:I saw that with the drummers and stuff, yeah, yeah. Which I saw, blue man, that was good show. I saw it twice.
Speaker 1:I think I've seen them, I remember I went to a couple of times.
Speaker 2:The last time I went, I was only. I was in the third row. I wasn't one of the people who pulled on stage, though they just knew I'd steal the show. I guess I liked it, though. I enjoyed it. I had a good time.
Speaker 1:That's good.
Speaker 2:Another big inflatable ball is at the end going over your head. Another thing they said is Blue man now has balls and they just be bouncing them. You bounce them off. They just come over and they weren't looking at, smack in the head and they shoot rolls of toilet paper in the audience. Of course this was pre-COVID, yeah.
Speaker 1:Now it's currency, or it was for a while.
Speaker 2:I'll take currency.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've been reading a lot of books recently. I'm reading one right now. It's called Emotional Intelligence and it's about how emotions play into rational thought and how emotions can hijack when you're like, oh, I didn't mean what I said, kind of shit, or you just fly off to fucking handle and I have no idea what happened. What happened, I differentiate like that and how it all plays together. So one of the parts of the book is talking about laughter and I was like this is fucking great.
Speaker 1:I have to talk about it on the podcast because of how many people at work have told me why do you laugh so much? Like you're going to get us in trouble for laughing this much. Or like fucking, like all kinds of random shit. Right, so it's talking about. It says good moods, while they last enhance the ability to think flexibly and with blah, blah, blah. This suggests that one way to help someone think through a problem is to tell them a joke. Laughing like elation seems to help people think more broadly and associate more freely, noticing relationships that might have eluded them otherwise A mental skill important not just in creativity but in recognizing complex relationships and foreseeing the consequences of a given decision.
Speaker 1:The intellectual benefits of a good laugh are most striking when it comes to people who had just watched a vision of comes to solving a problem that demands a creative solution. I just skipped a line. One study found that people who had just watched a video of television bloopers were better at solving a puzzle long used by a psychologist to test creative thinking and blah, blah, blah was likely seen alternative use and come up with a creative solution, even mild mood swings blah, blah, blah. This is partly because the memory is state expansive and positive in the thinking, so it's like laughter is the best medicine kind of thing. It actually helps improve cognitive function in the moment.
Speaker 2:See um. I identify as Vulcan, so I don't use a lot of emotion, so I'm half Vulcan, Sure. That's why I laugh.
Speaker 1:Sure.
Speaker 2:Listen, I can identify as whatever I feel like I am. So I feel like I'm Vulcan.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:All right.
Speaker 1:Well, how?
Speaker 2:Live long and prosper. I liked it in the Star Trek movies when he said he goes. I'd say that, but it seemed self-serving because it's Spock talking to Spock. Yeah, but the Vulcans are my favorite race in the Star Trek universe.
Speaker 1:At least you got the.
Speaker 2:I got the right universe.
Speaker 1:Got the right universe there. Yeah, proud of you, thank you.
Speaker 2:I like their logic. Yeah, I appreciate your logic.
Speaker 1:I mean that's that was one of the things that the books cover too is like there's a lot of people that have they're like aren't aware of their emotions or like they don't know they're suppressing them, kind of shit and like a bunch of different stuff, and like how that plays into thought also, like a lot of a lot of people don't I didn't know how much it was, I didn't know how much emotion played into thought before I started reading this book Like it's a lot, a lot, a lot. Like even the people that are emotionless don't think as well or as thoroughly or as as whatever, as people that are, I don't know, like properly attuned to their emotions whatever that phrase would be.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that's like it has a lot to do with a lot, Like a lot of. There's been so many words in this book that I'm like, what fucking word is that? Cause it was written by some dude like some scientist, psychologist in like 94. And that was a whole different language than 94.
Speaker 1:And they had. They had just done a bunch of studies on like emotions and thought and like this and that cause, like it had never really been studied before because you can't measure emotions, was like all scientists fucking claims and all psychologists claims you can't measure emotion, you can't measure thought, you can't measure this, you can't. And then come to find out fucking you know what you can.
Speaker 2:You can measure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so like it was, it's almost a medical journal kind of. It's like a lot of the shit he talks about. I'm like what? Like close the book, google what does this word mean? Oh, okay, that makes sense. Why don't you just say that Like more than I've had to do in any book, I think ever.
Speaker 2:I just what I mean about me is I don't really have, I don't really help burst like a lot of people do. I will know, but it.
Speaker 1:It doesn't mean you're emotional.
Speaker 2:Well, I've been referred to as a robot before, well, but no, but no, like, like. When I'm back to the roller coaster in New York, new York, it takes a picture of you and we're going through and all these other people are all freaking out and shit and I'm just kind of sitting there. Okay, yeah, like I mean a lot of people don't show their, their like.
Speaker 1:I don't show emotions much on my face of like this is me excited, this is me happy, this is me sad. Like I can have the biggest smile on and inside my head. I'm smiling fucking ear to ear, yeah, and it just looks like maybe a little more than a skull. Yeah, like an almost upturned scale. I'm like that's to me. It feels like I'm fucking smiling. Yeah, so I get you don't have to have to show it to fucking have it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, well, yeah, but I like it when I told somebody at my favorite character on the reboot of spark of Star Trek with spark and she's like oh yeah, that makes sense, that's funny Well.
Speaker 1:I think I'm going to save for the next couple of years. I'm going to save the other note for the next episode because I need to read up a little more on it too, because I just have a like a super short and I need to fucking pull the article back up. I have a small note.
Speaker 2:It was about something that happened in Florida. Apparently, this woman had a Dodge Charger and she decided to wrap it and make it, you know, look a lot like a state police car, and she even put the light thing on the back. She got. She got arrested for it. They don't like you doing that, apparently.
Speaker 1:No yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, when I first heard that it was going to look somewhat like a police car, I didn't realize she put the light bar on it too, cause, like I see, a car almost every day has got the black and white.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so there was one of the. When one of the transformers came out, there was a guy that was. He wrapped an Explorer, a Charger and something else with, like the Decepticons logos.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But it was like the black and white. It looked like a cop car but it said Decepticons.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And he had the lights, like everything. He wasn't trying to pull people over, he was doing like movie promo shit and like this is cool. They tried to give him so many fucking issues. I think at one point they impounded it and he ended up suing them and he got it back.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But like I understand, like if, if you're in, like right now we're in Washoe County, if you're, if you wrap something that either says like Reno PD or Reno police, or like something that can be misconstrued as like that's, that's what it is and it's not on a movie and it's not on a movie set.
Speaker 2:You're impersonating an officer at that point.
Speaker 1:Yeah, At that point you're impersonating an officer which? Is illegal which, which is illegal. But also, if that's illegal, why can they impersonate civilians? Why can they be in under covers without like sitting on the side of the road with their fucking lights all the way off? And you not knowing it's a police car to fucking pull you over.
Speaker 2:That's a good question.
Speaker 1:It should be illegal for them to impersonate civilians.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I saw somebody a school zone in Vegas get pulled over by a Mustang.
Speaker 1:I've seen a couple of I've seen a couple of Dodge caravans with people pulled over unlike the East side of Vegas that are under covers, had all the fucking lights going. There was like two caravans and I think one of them was like a Jeep Cherokee, like a bunch of random fucking vehicles Like I know they have to do undercover work, like if it's a detective doing shit or like it's a swat thing or whatever like. I think that can be fully separate, Like they're they could do.
Speaker 2:whatever fucking thing you do, you probably don't need to do that. You probably don't need a whole fleet of random cars, well, and in some.
Speaker 1:you know that costs us money in some states it's actually illegal for them to use those vehicles for regular shit like regular traffic tickets and regular everything, and a lot of states that is not one of them. You don't have to stop for an undercover, you can call 911. I mean, you can do that this part you can do anyway in Nevada of, say, an undercover lights you up and if you're uncomfortable, like you're on the middle of fucking nowhere, you can call 911. Be like, hey, I'm on Spark Street All the way out or I'm on pyramid like all the way out. By here I have a police, what I, what might be a policeman behind me. I don't think it's a police car. Do you have a unit over here and they can look and see if it is or not and they can tell you so, like, if you do that and it's a concern for your safety, you don't get in trouble for not pulling over, because you're in concern for your safety and they have the 911 call of you calling to verify.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But also like, if she like that happens but once it's verified that you're pulling over. Yeah, um, if she like that happens, like you can pull over into a gas station, like put your hazards on, let them know you're there, and pull over somewhere public and let the fuck up. Yeah, if you're concerned for your safety, be concerned for your safety, yeah. That's a fair fucking response. Anybody can put lights on anything.
Speaker 2:Anybody can fucking buy a badge at fucking Amazon over on Sunset in Vegas, right Actually taking the Henderson right next to that galaxy theater there, right in your sunset and Green Valley Ranch. Yeah, they had a. It was.
Speaker 1:I used to see it on a someone's a Zert vehicle and they had the black and white, had the life on the top emergency response team zombie eradication. That's. There's two different. There's a company called Zert. That's not the emergency response team.
Speaker 2:I don't. I looked it up and said eradication but but they're really good, they're great. I mean cause I in that entire time I had never seen any fucking zombies. I was like this is great, these guys are protecting me.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But it looked very much like a police car, but it had Zert written on the side.
Speaker 1:Also pro tip if it's raining and you get pulled over, if you put your hazards on to let them know that you see them and like slow down a little bit and say you're on the freeway.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:If you pull over so that you're under a bridge, so that the cops not getting fucking rained on when he's talking to you. Yeah, a lot of the times I'll let you go with a warning, because you took him into consideration.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's cool.
Speaker 1:Or like if it's a busy street and you pull into a gas station to get pulled over instead of just stopping in a fucking lane. Yeah, that shows consideration for his safety and a lot of the times. I'll let you go.
Speaker 2:Oh, so if you have that as an option, sometimes you don't have those an option, Sometimes just got to.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, sometimes you just have to pull over. But if you do have an option, yeah, like how often are fucking exits on the freeway? Or like how big are the shoulders in certain spots? Or how big is this, how big is that? How big is that? Like, if you're on the way like to Fernley from Sparks, there's almost no shoulder at any of it until you get to like Mustang. So if you pull off it Lockwood, or if you pull off it the Mustang, or in like that little fucking scenic route where you can see Mustang Ranch, yeah.
Speaker 1:If you pull off at any of those, instead of just on the fucking almost shoulder, they're going to be like damn and you can tell him. You can tell him exactly like I saw you lit me up. I put my hazards on, so you know I was there, so I I knew I saw you, but I wanted to get here for your safety.
Speaker 2:Yeah, see now, like last time I got and pulled over, I was, uh, I had literally just gotten on the freeway, yeah, and it was in Vegas and I was on my way towards Green Valley area. Actually, I was on my way to pick up a paycheck and my new license plates and, um, I got pulled over right as soon as I got on the freeway. So I didn't have a choice. So no exit coming up. And I remember that officer was not happy because he pulled me over. And then he comes up. He's like do you know why I pulled you over? I didn't. Even before he even finished the sentence, I'm pointing a little piece of paper in my front windshield that tells him why I didn't have a license. And he went, just wait here, he goes over, calls it in. Yeah, he was not happy, he let me go. There was a lot of traffic getting back on off the shoulder onto the freeway.
Speaker 1:That was not Imagine that he couldn't get you for something that's legal.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, try harder.
Speaker 2:He didn't even, couldn't even pull me out of the car and try to search me or anything.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh, I mean, they can't really do that just on a whim.
Speaker 2:Anyway, yeah, um yeah, well, if he would have tried to look in my car, there was nothing in it. It was still very new. I didn't even have anything in my trunk at all. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Follow us on Facebook and Instagram. At some offense attended Twitter's X. Whatever the fuck that's going to bother me, I keep calling it Twitter.
Speaker 2:Formerly Twitter.
Speaker 1:I mean, everybody does too, but that one.
Speaker 2:So why change the fucking name in the first place? It's been Twitter forever.
Speaker 1:That one social platform that he on bot at some offense pod YouTube. Just search it. Some offense attended and videos, video, chopped up, videos for reels and shit will be coming very shortly because I finally found something that's fairly easy, pretty intuitive and decent at what it's going to fucking do. Good, so catch you next time.
Speaker 2:Goodbye.
