WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:08.800 You are about to be trampled underfoot. One time. It's a funny thing. 2 00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:13.679 The manager reached out and said, hey man. Well, no he 3 00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:17.000 didn't. He didn't say, hey man, get back to work. He 4 00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:19.960 didn't do that. But he saw me. I don't know if he had 5 00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:22.559 seen me before, and he said, hey man, you want a job? 6 00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:26.679 And I was like, oh, no, thanks man, I'm okay. 7 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.320 A few years back, and uh, it's a funny thing. Yeah, 8 00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:33.719 it's almost like home home. People might be my calling. Hi, 9 00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:38.719 I'm Mark, and we're two guys from different decades, different backgrounds, and 10 00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:43.359 on the opposite sides of the continent, discussing life, the universe and everything. 11 00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:48.799 What's the show about? About an hour trampled underfoot. I don't know 12 00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:54.000 how I feel about social media anymore. Okay, Yeah, you'd think that 13 00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:59.479 you'd have pleasant encounters and whatnot and just you know, but we have the 14 00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:07.959 advent of keyboard warriors out there, and yeah, and keyboard warriors with attached 15 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:15.599 with Facebook. I mean, so I post a simple freaking comment, right 16 00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.599 mind you. I said something to the effect of it's hot here. It's 17 00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:25.480 hotter than than one could bear here in Miami. Um, and in fact, 18 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:30.920 it's hot. Then we have these macho man Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan 19 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.640 people I'm not gonna name their names. Um, but like there's this whole 20 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:40.719 I am always as like, look, I don't have to like the tit 21 00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:44.920 for tat that people get into, like like, guys, I could play 22 00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.799 the game as good as anybody else, but I don't have a need to 23 00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:53.840 prove like here, like let's say here on Trampled under Foot podcast, I 24 00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:59.400 don't have any need to be extra macho in order to prove it. I'm 25 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:06.879 more macho then I'm I call myself the duke. I'm more macho than you. 26 00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:10.120 And it's like, you know, and so these people, you know, 27 00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:14.199 a couple of buddies by the way, I know it's all ingest and 28 00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:21.159 good fun, but just saying the underlying sort of um message is like take 29 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:24.199 it like a chap, you know. And so it's like they're saying, 30 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:29.560 well, over here in my area, it's one degree hotter than yours. 31 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.960 Oh no, but my in my area, And then you get the little 32 00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:38.639 klingons adding their little comments and it's like a pylon. Dude, I'm like, 33 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:43.240 give me a break. You used to have to walk to school uphill 34 00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:49.919 both ways, you know, yeah, yeah, so this uber macho man, 35 00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:54.039 I've never felt eat. Look, even in school, I could tell 36 00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:58.199 those kind of people. And by the way, I'm not trying to this 37 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.560 is, but I could tell kids, you know, and and guys in 38 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:04.960 general, this is a guy thing, is it is? It's a guy 39 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.560 thing? Is. I could always tell, and I could see them a 40 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:13.080 mile away, especially with like they'll come up to you and they'll they'll sort 41 00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.599 of offer a question and you could tell, right like people under We've mentioned 42 00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:22.599 this before, but people don't. They judge how they judge, but they 43 00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:28.199 don't know that the other person might be aware of so much more than they 44 00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:31.719 could possibly understand at any given moment, you know what I'm saying, Like, 45 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:36.360 I'm aware when I see it coming at me, believe it or not. 46 00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.319 I don't know if it's a human trait. It might very well be 47 00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:44.560 that it's been evolving through millennia. But I could see it coming. Whether 48 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:47.319 I choose to attack on it in a certain way or not is because of 49 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:52.759 my particular sort of but I could be as destructive as the next person in 50 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:57.719 comments and whatnot, but I choose not to. Oh, Yeah, it's 51 00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.520 the anonymity of the keyboard that makes people you know, I call it keyboard 52 00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:05.960 muscles, you know, flexing their keyboard muscles. It's that anonymity that and 53 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:10.080 it's something about it. It happens to me too, and I think it 54 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:15.199 happens to everybody, to be honest, to one degree or another. It's 55 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.720 that anonymity of a keyboard. You will sit there and you will type things 56 00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:23.560 that you wouldn't dream of saying to somebody face to face. Yeah, you 57 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.439 know, when you're just sitting there playing the dozen with your friends and just 58 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:32.279 you know, cutting each other down, I mean to the bone. There 59 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.759 are some things you just don't say. There are some things that are still 60 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:40.199 kind of off limits. There are things that are off limits. But I'm 61 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:43.519 gonna tell you something. There's an actual procedure. And it's like, Okay, 62 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.079 it's like, I don't know, if you've ever seen in the African 63 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.240 savannah, those mutual of omaha, you know things. Yeah, and now 64 00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:56.519 we see the apes gathering around the wounded ape, and you'd say, oh, 65 00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:59.560 they're about to help the wounded ape. And now they begin to club, 66 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:04.199 yeah, you know, ripping apart and now and they're all laughing jolly, 67 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:08.439 you know, and so it's like you're thinking to yourself, well, 68 00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:13.759 crap, you know. So the thing that I you have your little your 69 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:18.800 little um tag on apes that come around, so they're seeing that you're getting 70 00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:24.480 trampled, no pun intended. And then they'll come round the corner and they'll 71 00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:27.560 say, oh, we're gonna get our ours in. So I just wanted 72 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:31.759 to share that just because I found it funny um earlier on. And and 73 00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.000 we're all guilty of everything because we're all human beings, and you know, 74 00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:39.879 what the heck you know? But uh yeah, but isn't it weird how 75 00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:44.279 social media has retrained us, you know, and we do it to ourselves. 76 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:47.519 We let it happen. It's retrained us. We don't censor ourselves. 77 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:53.319 We're less civil to one another. We're always looking to get that little jab 78 00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:58.120 in, you know, even if it's you know, it's all in fun, 79 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.879 like you said, it's all in jest, but somebody has to try 80 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:05.360 to come out on top. Oh yeah, that's that's law. Oh that's 81 00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:10.240 law, Mark, and and then and that's what I mean. We say 82 00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:14.399 things on social media that we would never say if the person was standing right 83 00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:18.120 next to us. Well yeah, but it's it's weird how we do that. 84 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:21.720 A lot of guys like to try to flex their intelligence and say, 85 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.759 oh, well, you did that all wrong. You know, you should 86 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.240 have done this, that and the other, and it's like, dude, 87 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:32.600 you do it. Look you know I just did so, so look exactly 88 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.839 and and and we all do it to a certain degree in this and that, 89 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.519 and I guess it's part of of how how how we are, you 90 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:45.439 know, just as the apes the males of the of the tribes and stuff. 91 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.800 But I'll give you another example of a thing. Because sometimes you're not 92 00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:54.839 looking for trouble. Look, I understand when you're when you you dig at 93 00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:58.680 some like when you're you need to get shut down. And if you do 94 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.040 get shut down, you deserve it, Like I get that. But if 95 00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:08.360 you're not looking for trouble and people are coming after your guys, then you 96 00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:11.399 know, it's kind of like, okay, what's this all about. So 97 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.000 I was working in the Everglades and it's full of tough guys or you know, 98 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:21.800 quote unquote tough guys because their woodsman evergladesman gladesmen and whatnot. And you 99 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:27.000 know, I'm a dude from Sweetwater and I start working over there and stuff. 100 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:31.519 There was there was a one incident where we're sitting in the back of 101 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:35.759 that area where we worked and there's a bunch of people. They're drinking beers. 102 00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:42.759 I'm hanging out after work, and they're taking chains and using a tree 103 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:46.399 trunk to lift an engine up out of a car that they needed to lift 104 00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.399 the engine out of. And they were doing this whole procedure, and I 105 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:53.319 was like checking it out because I had never seen something like that. It 106 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:57.519 looked ridiculous to me because all I can see is that it was a thick 107 00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:03.480 branch but um but branch less, and yet they were doing it. So 108 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:09.360 to me, I'm watching and this guy says, you know, I asked 109 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:15.399 a question that shows that I don't know what's going on in the particulars of 110 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.439 it. But I asked a question right which I felt. I didn't feel 111 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:20.759 any like, Oh, if I asked a question, they're going to find 112 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:22.519 out that I don't know the exact procedure. I don't give a crap. 113 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:28.079 I'm asking a question that I'm not thinking in those terms at all, but 114 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.600 I guess some people are. And the guy says, oh no, well 115 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:33.320 this is, this is, and that you don't know anything about cars, 116 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.879 man, you don't know this is And he was ragging on me. And 117 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.039 I had another friend, my friend Less, sitting next to me, and 118 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.879 Les was one experienced guy. He was a good friend of mine, and 119 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:48.279 he's sitting there listening, and this guy's ragging on me that I don't know 120 00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:52.399 this and this I don't know. I don't know, and I am not 121 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:54.759 a person that I didn't think in those terms what the guy was telling me. 122 00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.200 Yeah, because the engine this, you don't know this and that and 123 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.360 what's happening here is this and that, and I just I just came back 124 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.440 at him. I said, well, yeah, I don't know much about 125 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.480 these cars, but I bet you've never played a Blues progression in the key 126 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:15.000 of em. And the guy freaking like the guy he shut his mouth. 127 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.720 Yeah. I mean, you know, everybody's ignorant to a certain point, 128 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.440 and you know, it's funny that we still think that we have to prove 129 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.120 ourselves like that. Yeah, and we have to be better to somebody. 130 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:33.320 Oh, well, you don't know what you're talking about because of this, 131 00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:35.879 this, this, this and this. Okay, well maybe you know more 132 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.960 than I do about that. But how about this over here? I just 133 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.720 don't get that. I just don't get that, you know. But there's 134 00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:46.200 also well I get it a little bit. I think what that does is 135 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:52.519 cover some covers up some insecurity, you know, make themselves feel better because 136 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:58.200 they're just there's something there. They just got to feel superior to somebody else. 137 00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.159 There's there's some insecurity there. I think. Well, there's another issue 138 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:09.080 amongst the male the apes of the tribe. There's the issue with females. 139 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:13.480 I remember a friend that any time there was a new female in the vicinity 140 00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:22.240 across the savannah, we see a new female arrive and now all the chimps 141 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:28.440 are are standing upright and their their chest pumping. Well, every time there 142 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:33.080 was a new I would get word around, you know, as you go 143 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.679 around the mountain as it were, that that guy would say, Oh, 144 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:39.759 no, Eloy's not going to this party, or no, he's not gonna 145 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:43.200 be here, or no like it was always Eloy, no oh no, 146 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:52.279 nah, no elok no nook nah nah. What was this thing with you? 147 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:56.279 Man? Well, I'm giving you all the all the all the parts 148 00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:00.759 of the things that I learned. Um throughout history. It's not like a 149 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.600 current. This is more into the team era. Well that's what I mean. 150 00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:09.080 What was this guy's thing with you? Well, he just wanted to 151 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:15.279 the obvious thing. He wanted to lower probability of failure. Okay, yeah, 152 00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.000 you eliminate competition. Yeah, he was eliminating. And this is a 153 00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.039 This was a good friend of mine at the time. But he said, 154 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:26.279 hey, budd, in his mind he calculates, is you know what, 155 00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:33.440 that's one too many? Yeah, eliminate competition. I don't know, man, 156 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:37.879 I'm not that competitive by nature, and like you, I'm not a 157 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.440 violent guy. I can count the number of fights I've been in probably on 158 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:46.159 one hand because I don't fight fair and I don't believe that there are any 159 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:48.039 rules. Well, there's no need to if you think about it. It's 160 00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.759 like, you know, my dad always used to love one particular scene, 161 00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:58.679 and I remember because he'd sit in bed and he'd cackle when he'd watched. 162 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:03.600 He'd be like he like he loved the scene. And it was Indiana Jones 163 00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:09.159 and the what was it? And the one with the first one Indiana Jones 164 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:15.200 Arc. It was the scene in Raiders of the Lost Arc and he loved. 165 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.360 Like, that's one thing I can remember certain things from my old man, 166 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.879 and that's one of those things that the concept of him laughing at that 167 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.960 scene and why he was laughing at it. And it's a scene when Indiana 168 00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:35.080 Jones is trying to get on the plane but this big Moroccan guy or whatever 169 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:41.159 with a big sort of sword is fighting him, and like, you know, 170 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:45.120 Indiana Jones is like, holy crap, now what because this guy's like 171 00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.279 five times his size. Well, Indiana Jones pulls out a gun and shoots 172 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.519 him and he goes down, and my dad at that very moment, he's 173 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:58.159 like cracking up because you know, my dad did like military service and secret 174 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:03.120 stuff too, which we've talked about. And he's not he wasn't a tall 175 00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:09.200 guy, right, but he carried a gun, so to him it was 176 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:15.720 it was funny. I know the scene you're talking about, and interesting that 177 00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.919 you bring this up. That's my favorite scene in that movie too. It's 178 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:24.080 one of my favorite scenes. It's such a good man. The guy comes, 179 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.799 he comes whipping out a scimitar and he's spinning it around and doing this, 180 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:31.120 that and the other, and he stands there and he goes and Indiana, 181 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:33.360 pulls out the pistol and just shoots him. It turns around and walks 182 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.759 away. You know, funny part about that scene is that was ad libbed. 183 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:41.240 There was supposed to be a big old long fight scene. Oh that 184 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:45.480 was man, and just you know, Harrison Ford just reached it, just 185 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.639 reached over and pulled out his pistol and shot, you know, and they 186 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:50.600 decided, oh, we gotta keep this in. So they just kind of 187 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:56.000 scrapped a scene and that's what came in. It was movie magic. Uh 188 00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:01.960 huh on so many levels. It's very It's Quinneth Central Americana. In my 189 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:05.960 opinion, Oh you're big. Sorry, I'm not gonna work. Bam. 190 00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:11.639 Well, I take that back. That was not They went back and they 191 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:16.799 choreographed the scene and reshot it. But the first time he because there was 192 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.039 no blank loaded, it was just an empty prop pistol in his but he 193 00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:24.159 pulled it out and went bang like that, and they just everybody just died 194 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.279 laughing, and they said, oh, we gotta do that. It's because 195 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:31.519 it's perfect. Because it was. It was excellent. But later on in 196 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:37.360 another movie, it was two guys came out in white outfits because the original 197 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:41.240 and the original movie the guy was wearing black and he had a red sash 198 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:46.240 and a red band around his turbine or something like that. Well in the 199 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.360 in in a later movie, two guys came out. They were in white, 200 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.120 and they're swinging around scimitars and stuff like that, and he reaches down 201 00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:56.120 for his pistol and it wasn't there. It had dropped out of the pistol, 202 00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:00.600 out of the holster, and it's like a crap. You turn around 203 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:03.120 and he ran. I think I remember that. Yeah, so it was 204 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:09.360 a callback to that gag. Yeah, they played on that trampled underfoot. 205 00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:15.279 But it's it's interesting that you brought up that movie scene about it being your 206 00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:20.360 dad's favorite scene. Yea. Something that I was thinking about the other day. 207 00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:24.960 I don't even remember which movie I was watching, but I was standing 208 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.759 by, you know, I was walking from room to room. My wife 209 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:31.559 was watching TV and some movie was on it. Remember which movie it was, 210 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.799 Yeah, and I had to stop because my absolute favorite scene in that 211 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:37.759 movie came up. And then that scenes over and I'm like, okay, 212 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.919 cool, and then I could proceed. Yeah, And that got me to 213 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:46.919 thinking about favorite movie scenes. Is there is there a scene in a movie 214 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.879 where you just have to stop and watch it. It's one of your favorite 215 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:56.360 scenes in the movie. There's so many. I'd have to sit that. 216 00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:58.559 Boy, you threw that at me, I'd have to think about that. 217 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:03.799 Mark. I'm not that quick on the draw. But yeah, there's favorite 218 00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:08.440 movies that if they if they, if I hear about it or see nowadays, 219 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:11.320 if I see it, I'll say, oh, I got to see 220 00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:14.480 that again, and I know the whole movie. So there's favorite movies, 221 00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:18.440 but favorite scenes I'd have to really dig in. Man. I don't mean 222 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:21.120 to uh, well no, but I mean, like, for instance, 223 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:22.360 a lot of people would come up and they'd say, oh, the shower 224 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.120 scene in the movie Psycho, Oh my goodness, that's horrible. Yeah, 225 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:30.879 I know it is. But if you're into the horror genre or that suspense 226 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:36.480 thriller genre, it's just that quintessential scene, you know. Steve Kneelan over 227 00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:38.919 here from Harneil Media over here in the live YouTube chat, says, the 228 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:44.799 president's speech in Independence Day in the movie Independence Day, that was a pretty 229 00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:49.559 cool scene as far as movie see. I'm having difficulty with scenes maybe, 230 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:53.200 I think in terms of the whole movie so I think when you said that, 231 00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:57.799 I thought Fright Night as cheesy of a movie from the eighties as it 232 00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:02.080 was, I could still watch it every time. So that's like one of 233 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:04.960 those movies that I could I could still watch. Yeah, I can't think 234 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:11.559 of particulars. The whole car chase scene in the movie The Blues Brothers that 235 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:14.720 that it's like a thirty minute card. Well, I'm not a thirty minute 236 00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:18.119 it's probably ten minutes towards the end of the movie where it's just I mean 237 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.000 there's gotta be a one hundred police cars chasing them into Chicago. I've seen 238 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.839 that movie like two or three times in my entire life, and that car 239 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:32.200 chase scene is just probably one of the best there is. It's just hilarious. 240 00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:37.079 Man. Well anyway, I just you brought it up, and uh, 241 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:41.599 I just thought it was fun. I mean, see, I think 242 00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:47.480 not with using that that you're saying. I think of those funny game show 243 00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:52.400 fail moments that we see on YouTube. Yeah, and so there's there's some 244 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:56.680 that I've seen already but that I'll revisit anyhow or when they come up. 245 00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:59.920 I'm like, man, I love that scene that that you know, fail, 246 00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.279 So there's one where they're doing, um Jeopardy and the lady this is 247 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:11.000 a little bit uh risque, but um so you know Jack Alex, Alex 248 00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:14.920 Trebek, Alex Trebek. Yeah, so Alex Trebek comes up to the and 249 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:18.079 he starts to say hello to the fan to or to the lady. I'm 250 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:22.400 sorry. She comes up and so tell us about yourself, and she said 251 00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:26.000 something to the effect that, um, oh, I just got married. 252 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:30.160 Came back from my honeymoon. She said something to the effect of it didn't 253 00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:36.039 We wanted it to snow, but it didn't snow on her honeymoon, but 254 00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:41.039 in in the morning we got I got seven inches, she said, I 255 00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:47.119 have seen that one. I've fallen down that rabbit hole too. Yeah. 256 00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:51.480 Man, there are so many different rabbit holes it's not even not even funny. 257 00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:56.119 I have fallen down that rabbit hole as well. There is a new, 258 00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:02.920 well new to me anyway, genre of YouTube videos now where people and 259 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.200 this is just silly talk about how social media has changed our life. These 260 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:11.359 people go on read it and they find stories from other people. They didn't 261 00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:18.359 even write the story. People write stories about their experience with other people and 262 00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:22.240 on their videos what they do is they read the story. That's all they 263 00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:26.400 do. They'll read the story on video and all you see is words scrolling 264 00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:32.440 up the screen and that's it. And these things are getting thousands of views. 265 00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:37.519 Amazing. But some of them are actually pretty fun stories. Some of 266 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.680 them are kind of hokey. But you know, people get mistaken. You 267 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:44.839 know, somebody will come up and start talking to you, like you work 268 00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:48.319 in a particular store or what have you. Hey, where do I find 269 00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:49.440 this? I don't know. I don't work here. I'm sure you do. 270 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:52.160 Just help me out here. No, I don't work here. I 271 00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:55.599 mean I'm not dressed to you know. Well I just saw you doing this 272 00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:57.559 that or the other. Well, yeah, I was helping that person. 273 00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:00.240 I don't work here, I don't know where that is. Don't lie to 274 00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:03.519 me, and you know, just a whole bunch of stuff like that. 275 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:10.640 Yeah, it's addictive. Trampled underfoot. Have you ever been stopped at a 276 00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:15.519 store or like you're in a store and you're not even wearing the fricking clothes 277 00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.400 of the store and they ask you for like, oh, circuit, where 278 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:22.160 do we find this? This in that? Or what stores? I was 279 00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:26.759 stopped knew this was when I was working as a slot machine mechanic. I 280 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:33.359 was driving a route, working on slot machines in bars and gas stations, 281 00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:37.519 convenience stores, things like that. We had a uniform. It was the 282 00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:42.599 old mission linen uniform. Blue pants and a blue and white pinstriped shirt with 283 00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:47.599 a tag name tag on it that had the name of the company and then 284 00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:51.599 my name embroidered into it. I'm wearing a baseball cap with the company logo 285 00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:55.720 on it. But I also have on a two way radio, a big 286 00:20:55.759 --> 00:21:00.759 belt, a big old water of keys, and I'm I was I went 287 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:03.680 into home depot to look for something. I don't remember what it was. 288 00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:07.680 And I'm standing there looking down and down the aisle, and I had two 289 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:11.799 people walk up and asked me where would I find this. I'm like, 290 00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:14.880 I don't know. I don't work here. And the one guy, he 291 00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:17.759 looked at me, and then he looked up at my hat and he went, 292 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:21.200 oh, I'm sorry, I thought you did no problem, and off 293 00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:26.640 he went. This old lady came up to me. Older lady came up 294 00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:30.599 to me. She was in her sixties, and she just started she you 295 00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:33.119 know, we were looking at something I don't remember, you know, now, 296 00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:37.920 I need to do this, so how would I do X, Y 297 00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.599 and Z. And I'm like, well, I'm I don't know. I'm 298 00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.279 not a contractor. I said, I if it were me doing it, 299 00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:48.240 I would probably do this, this and this, And she kind of looked 300 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:52.880 at me funny, and then she saw the hat and she says, I'm 301 00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:55.839 sorry. I thought you worked here, and I said, no, I 302 00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:59.200 don't. I'm real sorry. I said, well, you know, still, 303 00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:00.160 if I was going to do but I would do this, this and 304 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.680 this, but that may or may not be the right way to go for 305 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:06.400 you. She's like, okay, well, thank you very much, young 306 00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:08.240 man, and off she went. You know, find somebody who did actually 307 00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:12.359 work there. That's that's the only time that I've ever been stopped and you 308 00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:18.880 know, mistaken for working somewhere that I haven't I get that or I've gotten 309 00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:22.720 that at home depot. And mind you, I'm not dressed. I mean, 310 00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:25.359 I can't even think of how home. I know they were aprons, 311 00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:30.279 yeah, orange aprons. But I've I've been stopped multiple times um at home 312 00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:34.799 people in various different aisles. And you could you would, if you could 313 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:41.119 look in back into I'd be there helping the person out and they still don't 314 00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:44.240 realize that I don't work there. But they'll ask a question, oh this 315 00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:47.960 wax like you know, the paste wax, and say, oh, yeah, 316 00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:49.160 you could, you could use that, but that can is gonna last 317 00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:52.079 you a very long time, you know, and this and that, and 318 00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.920 they have and they just keep going and it's I was even one time. 319 00:22:57.160 --> 00:23:03.440 It's funny thing the manager reached out and said, hey man. Well, 320 00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:07.160 no he didn't he didn't say hey man, get back to work. He 321 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:10.079 didn't do that. But he saw me. I don't know if he had 322 00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:11.680 seen me before, and he said, hey man, you want a job. 323 00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:15.319 And I'm like, oh, no, thanks man, I'm okay. 324 00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:19.400 A few years back, and uh, it's a funny thing. Yeah, 325 00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:26.000 it's almost like home deeople might be my calling mark maybe. I mean, 326 00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:30.119 well, I home depot for me is about, Oh, I gotta get 327 00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:34.240 on the freeway and go down to two more two towns over, but I 328 00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:37.079 pass Lows on the way by. So I go into Lows and I know 329 00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:40.759 that store like the back of my hand, and it's, you know, 330 00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:44.039 three miles down the road from me. So I go in, I get 331 00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:45.839 what I want, and I get out you know, so I don't wait, 332 00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:49.119 you know, I just I put blinders on. Man, I just 333 00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:52.240 I don't nothing. I don't see nobody, I don't hear nothing. I 334 00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:56.000 just grab what I need and I go. So maybe that's what it is. 335 00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:57.960 You know, I'm here to get what I need to get. I'm 336 00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:02.720 not here to have a conversation. And then we have the situation. I 337 00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:07.359 don't know why we're going into this, but I just find it absurdity or 338 00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:10.519 what's the word. We'll just say absurdity for now, but there's another word 339 00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:14.319 I'm thinking of that it can't quite grab from my memory banks. You know, 340 00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:18.680 situations that are are weird and funky. There's a word for that. 341 00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:23.519 In any event, well, surreal is they're not redundant. What's the word 342 00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:30.559 ridiculous? They're definitely ridiculous. But like, man, I don't know what 343 00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:34.400 it is, but I'll go when I'm shopping, and I swear to you, 344 00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:37.799 when you wait in those lines, the person in front of you decides 345 00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:41.480 always. I don't know if this happens in another because Miami has a particular 346 00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:45.279 thing. I don't know if it's a Miami thing, but alone, but 347 00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:49.759 they'll start up a conversation with the cashier, regardless that there's a fricking line 348 00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:53.880 right behind you and they're sitting there and saying, you know, like oh 349 00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:57.079 you have two kids, Oh my good, And I'm like, how is 350 00:24:57.119 --> 00:25:03.039 that relevant to our current situation? It's people being friendly. It happens here 351 00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:07.799 too, And I tell people that constantly, do never ask a store clerk 352 00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:10.720 how they're doing, because they will tell you. And there's no such thing 353 00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:15.000 as a short story in this valley. They will do it regardless of how 354 00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:18.480 many people are waiting in the back matter, It don't matter. There are 355 00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:22.960 a couple of clerks that when I see there behind the register, I will 356 00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.720 go, you self check out because I will not get in line if they're 357 00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:30.720 on the register right because you know, well, because one of them, 358 00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:33.920 she will actually stop what she's doing, folder arms and talk. She's like 359 00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:37.559 that sign the way, Well I'm here for eight hours, you might as 360 00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.240 well be too, you know. But she stop what she's doing and fold 361 00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:45.359 her arms and just have a conversation with the person, just you know, 362 00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:48.440 and then you know, kind of scan an item or two and then you 363 00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:52.400 know, talk, shake a stock of salary for emphasis or something like that, 364 00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.519 and put it on the scale and oh yeah, well you know, 365 00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:02.000 I know exactly what you mean by that. That was Yeah, that's number 366 00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:06.680 thirty two O four, you know, and it's just like, what is 367 00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:11.279 this a social hour or what? Oh man? You know, most of 368 00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:14.960 the time I can get in and out fairly quickly, but there are like 369 00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:18.480 there's there's two clerks that are local Wally World that if I see him behind 370 00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:23.000 the register, nah, I'm gone, no thanks, count yeah, oh 371 00:26:23.119 --> 00:26:27.279 yeah, don't have time to play. But I will start a conversation with 372 00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:30.240 the guy behind me or in front of me in line. Oh yeah, 373 00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:33.559 you know, if something goofy happens, I'll sure I'll talk about it. 374 00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:38.119 Or how about the guy in front of your behind you that's pissed off, 375 00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:44.640 maybe more than you because the line's not moving, And they'll start that conversation 376 00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:48.599 and say something like can you believe this? Yeah? Can you believe these 377 00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:52.559 people? Has that happened to you? Oh yeah, yeah? These are 378 00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:56.000 actual things that occurred. And I'm going to tell you right now, the 379 00:26:56.079 --> 00:27:03.039 main objective of that cashier is move along, move along, give me some 380 00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:07.680 money, move along. Your stuff is packed. That's the that's their prerogative. 381 00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:11.960 Not and the in between stuff that's like the human stuff. I understand 382 00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:17.599 that, but other people got to get out of there too, trampled underfoot. 383 00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:22.440 But my father was a retail clerk for years and years, I mean 384 00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:26.480 he worked grocery business most of his life. So I can see the boredom 385 00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:30.559 and the tedium from the other side, because you know, you got an 386 00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:33.240 endless parade of people coming and going, and if all you do is run 387 00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:37.400 stuff over a scanner, you're basically a machine. You're there because they haven't 388 00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:42.319 developed a machine that will grab an artichoke, wag it and punch in the 389 00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:47.200 right number and put it in a bag. That's why you're there. So 390 00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:52.599 they have to amuse themselves somehow. He's the one that turned me onto the 391 00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:57.680 cashier's game. And it's basically what you do is you look at the basket 392 00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:02.480 in front of you or behind you, either one. But cashiers do this 393 00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:06.680 all the time. They will look at the basket and try to figure out 394 00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:11.200 what the person came in for and what was the impulse buy. Yeah, 395 00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:15.480 they've only got a few items, you know. So you got a guy 396 00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:18.160 that walks up and he puts them up on the belt and he's got, 397 00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:22.960 you know, a box of wheaties, a fifth of vodka in a lawn 398 00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:29.039 chair. Yeah, what did you come into the store for and what was 399 00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:34.799 the impulse by Which of these items do not fit? You know exactly? 400 00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:40.079 It's like duct taping, chloroform. Oh, I don't know, man, 401 00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:47.119 Should I call the cops? There are combinations of items that people buy that 402 00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:52.640 do bring questions up, don't right, Yeah, exactly. You know. 403 00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:57.240 I had a situation because I was a clerk at a place called Lecters. 404 00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:03.680 It was a German company according to what I know, and they were they 405 00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:06.440 branched all across the mirror. I know they were even on the West coast 406 00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:11.599 at least in California. Lectures. Yeah, Lectors Housewares and all that. 407 00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:15.839 And I was a young kid back then. We wore a red apron with 408 00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:19.200 white dress up shirt and stuff. That was the whole style. Um, 409 00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:26.279 it was like we were high end where housewears associates as it were. And 410 00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:29.240 um, I remember there was a lot of encounters. But I remember one 411 00:29:29.359 --> 00:29:33.559 encounter with a lady and I don't know what the thing, what the transaction 412 00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:38.559 was, but I remember what she said and I had asked her a question, 413 00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:41.799 and I remember, I'm a young kid, and she she used a 414 00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:45.880 word that I had never heard before, and she did this, she goes. 415 00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:49.319 I said, ma'am, would you like so and so and so and 416 00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:55.559 so? And she says, oh, I'm ambivalent about it. And I'm 417 00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:59.559 a young kid. And I looked at her and I stopped talking from on 418 00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:04.759 and she and she and she leaned forward a little bit and I and I 419 00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:07.480 looked at her, and I leaned a little bit, and she just waited 420 00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:14.319 for the She waited to see me say, ma'am, what's ambivalent? What 421 00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:17.759 do you mean, ma'am? Or something like that. And I didn't give 422 00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:19.519 her the pleasure, and I said, oh, okay, and I just 423 00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:25.119 kept doing what I kept doing. But she was She knew. She's an 424 00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:27.480 older lady. She knew that she took me for a ride on that one. 425 00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:33.680 Yeah. I didn't know what am, But guess what that lady taught 426 00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:37.720 me the definition of ambivalent. Go look it up. Yeah, and I 427 00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:41.680 haven't forgotten till this day. Are you ambivalent? Well yes and no, 428 00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:48.920 but yeah. When I was sixteen years old, one of the jobs I 429 00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:53.160 had was in a hardware store and I found there were three types of customers 430 00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:59.839 we had. One was the guy who knew exactly what he wanted, knew 431 00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:03.200 where it was, and he went and got it and went to the register. 432 00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:08.480 There was the guy or the woman who knew what they wanted but maybe 433 00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:15.759 needed help finding the right aisle. Right then there was usually the woman who 434 00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:18.720 had no clue what she was looking for. Ninety nine times out of a 435 00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:23.720 hundred, they were in plumbing or electrical. And I always had this mental 436 00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:29.400 image where you a woman comes in with a piece of paper and she's looking 437 00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:33.440 for a faucet an inline valve, and she doesn't know what it is. 438 00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:37.759 Her husband sent her down to get it. She has no clue where to 439 00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:40.839 go. She knows it's in plumbing, that's all. I always had this 440 00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:45.359 mental image of some guy in a basement holding on to a pipe spraying water, 441 00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:52.519 screaming hurry up, hurry up. Yeah, yeah, that happens a 442 00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.319 lot too. Yeah. You know, it's just like guys go to the 443 00:31:56.359 --> 00:32:00.440 hardware store yourself. You know, oh just a minute, you're you know, 444 00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:05.359 the ladies in line, whoever, and oh, I forgot something from 445 00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:07.680 that aisle? Can I go real quick? And then the cash years yeah, 446 00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:09.880 yeah, sure, and there's a long line behind and she leaves those 447 00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:15.279 kinds of situations because what do you tell, I mean, the correct thing 448 00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:17.960 to say. It's just it's a difficult thing for a cashier to say, 449 00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:23.000 no, you can't do that, because you're gonna piss her off. Yeah, 450 00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:27.160 and it you know, it's it's it is one of those things. 451 00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:30.559 I mean, you know, you you're sitting there with half a basket of 452 00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:35.319 groceries, and the lady from the over and the twenty items or less aisle 453 00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:38.000 says, come on over here, there ain't nobody in line. Yeah, 454 00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:40.440 It's like okay, fine, And the next thing you know, you've got 455 00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:44.640 eleven people behind you and each one of them standing there with one thing, 456 00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:47.960 and you feel like a real moron. You know. There's one last situation, 457 00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:53.640 although there's more, but well, of course that you have a line 458 00:32:54.519 --> 00:33:00.359 that just lit up like oh accepting. You know people here, and you'll 459 00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:05.720 see all the cards aiming towards it, and you'll see people that are walk 460 00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:12.960 that are pushing their cards slightly faster, and others that like me, I 461 00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:15.839 don't play that game. I just if I'm far away, if I can 462 00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:22.240 make it, I'm not gonna go because I just that's unbecoming. But there's 463 00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:27.680 people that are accelerating, and there's some that aren't even accelerating. They're like, 464 00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:30.839 they're gonna win this race. And so yeah, and so you see 465 00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:35.559 the different person and it all depends on what their state is at the time. 466 00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:37.119 But um, yeah, you know what, at the end of the 467 00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:43.240 day, dude, we will get ours and we will trample no pun intended 468 00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:46.480 to get there. Oh yeah, they don't quite break into a run, 469 00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:53.599 but they get real close and and you know, if it comes down to 470 00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:58.960 it, kind of lock the arms and push the card out so they knows 471 00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:00.559 it in just in front of the other guy had before it, you know, 472 00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:06.559 and they'd catch up to it. I see. This is something that 473 00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:08.199 I don't know if you guys get, but I hate people that bump into 474 00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:13.400 you. And that happens a lot in Miami. I don't know. Maybe 475 00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:15.599 it's because there's not as much space, but I doubt it. Dude. 476 00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:22.079 I have at least a few feet, not even one foot of personal space 477 00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:27.679 that I offer other people. I do not encroach. So there's like a 478 00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:30.400 little you know what I'm saying. And when you're going down the aisle, 479 00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:36.360 and another person's coming down the aisle you have and they're hogging the aisle at 480 00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:40.920 the supermarket. You either crash into the aisle, letting all the bottles and 481 00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:45.440 stuff fall on you so that they can because they're driving like they own the 482 00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:50.000 road, or you freeze stop and make them stop, which I began to 483 00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:54.280 do a while back checking in the supermarket. Huh oh, yeah, I'll 484 00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:58.000 cold stop because where do you want me to go? You want me to 485 00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:00.679 grab the cart throw it over until the next Also you can drive by, 486 00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:07.840 so cold stop and help cold stop. And we've just had a fricking Mexican 487 00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:12.519 standoff and it's like, you know, and then they realize. But yeah, 488 00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:15.360 I don't play that game anymore. I guess it comes with wisdom. 489 00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:19.239 I'm not gonna be jumping on the aisld and being crushed up in no way. 490 00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:22.199 And these are by the way, these are old ladies. Maybe the 491 00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:24.679 maybe, maybe the problem is me, but I don't think so. They 492 00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:30.039 are vicious, those old ladies. Oh I know. I worked in casinos 493 00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:36.440 for fifteen years. I know they're vicious. Boy. You want to you 494 00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:42.679 want to see a sweet little old lady turn into a combination of a Samurai 495 00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:46.320 Warrior in the Abominable snow Man. Just reach out like you're gonna touch one 496 00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:51.519 of her slot machines that she's playing. Oh my god, you'll draw back 497 00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:54.400 up, bloody stomp. Well, because they can sit in one and play 498 00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:59.360 another one, or they can play. How many they play depends on the 499 00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:02.679 casino. Back when it was coin in and coin out, especially at this 500 00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:08.800 one casino up in Reno, you'd have an you'd have one woman playing a 501 00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:13.760 whole row of eight or ten machines, just walking down the aisle putting coins 502 00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:16.400 in them and pulling the handles and coming back to And I mean, should 503 00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:21.719 a woman on a mission? Man, And if you walk up and you 504 00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:24.880 stop for any length of time, I'm playing that machine. Oh okay, 505 00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:32.679 off you go. Well, good luck to her. Yeah. They are 506 00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:37.880 territorial, and they defend their territory. I'm here to tell you. Oh 507 00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:43.719 man, Well, I worked the casino too, so I know a little 508 00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:46.760 bit about that. So I did see that, just at that extreme. 509 00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:51.519 And I mean, so long as they're putting I mean they're buying hundred dollars 510 00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:54.880 racks of silver coins, of silver dollar coins, so so long as they're 511 00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:59.360 keep dropping them in the machines casino, lets them get lets them do it. 512 00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:01.360 They don't care about the guy that walks up and puts two or three 513 00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:06.400 bucks in. They want the people who keep feeding those machines. Boy. 514 00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:14.639 Oh yeah, that was an eye opening career Trampled Underfoot. So what else 515 00:37:14.679 --> 00:37:17.559 has been new on your your end? Oh? Man, just working, 516 00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:22.440 working, working, and that's about all. But I have been playing around 517 00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:27.559 with and doing a little bit of updating on the Trampled Underfoot website. See 518 00:37:27.559 --> 00:37:31.639 how I did that? Yeah? Nice? I finally figured out the proper 519 00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:38.079 image sizes because before folks were go to our website and they'd see about half 520 00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:44.199 of the artwork that you do for every episode, and they would only see 521 00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:45.960 about half of it. Well, I finally figured out how to bring up 522 00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:52.960 that spreaker podcast player the audio player. Okay, they see the entire image. 523 00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:58.719 See the image is the background for their audio player. And if you 524 00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:00.880 don't know what I'm talking about, there's a quick way to find it. 525 00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:06.679 That is, go to our website, Trampled Underfoot podcast dot com. Right 526 00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:09.639 there on the front page. Look at that gorgeous artwork Eloy does each and 527 00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:15.639 everyone for every episode. Well, I appreciate that. There's also a Facebook 528 00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:19.199 page.

Wow. Uh 541 00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:25.280 we did that smoother than a Johnny Walker with two ice cubes and a glass 542 00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:30.840 cup. Only two ice cubes, three would be optimal, but there's always 543 00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:35.960 room for improvement. Wow, exactly, we actually did that.
