Speaker 1: Hey, guys, I need to start off by just saying
Speaker 1: that I understand.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: We said we'd be more consistent, and we let you down.
Speaker 1: We said we'd really work on our production quality and
Speaker 1: our content, and we let you down. And I know
Speaker 1: for a fact that the three of you out there
Speaker 1: were kind of like what happened? And the truth is,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Life gets in the way, and somehow,
Speaker 1: by the grace of God, we made it through this
Speaker 1: with the skin of our teeth. So here we are
Speaker 1: apology from me, Austin, and be like from the depths

Speaker 2: I know, it's been hard, Austin, it's been very hard
Speaker 2: to like to like get in and record and stuff.
Speaker 2: And this episode should be really special because it is
Speaker 2: episode fifty and that's a milestone. I mean, not all
Speaker 2: podcasters that are hacked like us reach fifty episodes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, reach fifty episodes and still maintain such a small listener.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like all fifty of them. Yeah, it's like fifty
Speaker 2: to fifty. It's like a double fifty. Yeah, yeah, sweet,
Speaker 2: But you know, I it is fun and like your

Speaker 2: really hard to get in the studio. You had COVID,
Speaker 2: I got COVID, the Rona, I got the Rona. There
Speaker 2: you go, yeah, the Rona nineteen yep.
Speaker 1: And even worse than that, people have been graduating.
Speaker 2: Graduating, and they people have been having birthdays. And then
Speaker 2: we've been trying to do things for my dad, who
Speaker 2: passed away very early this year, trying to get things
Speaker 2: settled at his house, and it's chaotic, it has so
Speaker 2: I've been out of town a lot at my dad's place,
Speaker 2: trying to go through things, and it's just been tough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and even going forward, it's not going to get easy.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: My wife leaves for New York tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and then I'm going camping.
Speaker 1: And then I'm going camping with you next week. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So maybe we can get an episode up. There'd be fun.
Speaker 2: There's something strange up there. By Don Lee and Cascade Idaho.
Speaker 1: I have a cousin who lives up there.
Speaker 2: Maybe there's some weird creature that lives in the lake
Speaker 2: Lake Cascade. You know, if there's not, let's make up
Speaker 2: a creature that lives in the lake. Because we're acts.
Speaker 1: We can do that. We can make up whatever.
Speaker 2: Yea, what should we call it? What should we call
Speaker 2: the creature that lives in Cascade Lake? The creature of
Speaker 2: Cascade Lake. Oh, that's so creative. I love it.
Speaker 1: Stephen King, I think we should do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be cool. So anyway, we're gonna go up
Speaker 2: there and catch the Lake Cascade monster creature creature, the
Speaker 2: creature creature, and we're gonna just I'm try to just
Speaker 2: catch my life back. Yeah, I've been so stretched. I
Speaker 2: wouldn't say necessarily depressed, although I mean, I guess it's
Speaker 2: close to that.
Speaker 1: Do you feel thin?
Speaker 2: I feel thin, but.
Speaker 1: Over too much bread.
Speaker 2: I feel like a shadow of a man that I
Speaker 2: used to be.
Speaker 1: That sounds like an awesome song. We could write music.
Speaker 1: It's the shadow of the man that I used to be.
Speaker 1: It's certain.
Speaker 2: That's what I feel like. Wid I drowned in the seamusic.
Speaker 1: I know we already got a symphony. What is that?
Speaker 1: What's it?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Super weird.
Speaker 2: I think it's like destiny. It's like it's calling us.
Speaker 1: I'm not the shadow of the man I used to be. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my dad says, it's destiny. There you go, there we go.
Speaker 2: Well, it's fun. Hey, And if you don't know, we
Speaker 2: are doing an open mic and Austin episode in honor
Speaker 2: of our fiftieth episode and out of an assessin and
Speaker 2: also because we never could get to Massacre Rocks to
Speaker 2: talk about water babies.
Speaker 1: It's been a been a challenge.
Speaker 2: But we're gonna do it. We're gonna get there. We're
Speaker 2: gonna you know, I really want to go there. And
Speaker 2: you know, I just got to say, as you enjoy
Speaker 2: your drink and I'll enjoy mine.
Speaker 1: Here, don't slurp it now.
Speaker 2: I was good. But we're gonna go to mask of
Speaker 2: Rocks and talk about water babies and a little bit
Speaker 2: about the history of Massacre Rocks and that's gonna be fun.
Speaker 2: But that'll be down the road a little bit now,
Speaker 2: on the road when we can get there, because we
Speaker 2: thought we'd get there two weeks ago and I got
Speaker 2: the rona.
Speaker 1: Wow, this is a very notification day.
Speaker 2: Everything is just coming up dings ding What a dinghy day,
Speaker 2: ding dung day. Speaking of dingy days, I had a
Speaker 2: thought today while I was sitting in church. Oh boy,
Speaker 2: because today is Sunday, we're recording this well kind of.
Speaker 2: But I was sitting there thinking about life and life
Speaker 2: is hard, right, and a lot of weird things happen
Speaker 2: in life, and you do a lot of things in
Speaker 2: life to cope with the weird and hard things that
Speaker 2: are in life. And I was sitting there thinking about this,
Speaker 2: pondering it. And you know, on one hand, you got
Speaker 2: the theological view that everything happens for a reason, and
Speaker 2: then you have the other view, which is that nothing
Speaker 2: happens for a reason. It's all you know, random chance
Speaker 2: of accident. And I was just trying to like come
Speaker 2: to some kind of happy middle ground as I sat there, okay,
Speaker 2: And I was thinking about that, and I thought, man,
Speaker 2: this is a strange thought. Why am I sitting in
Speaker 2: church instead of listening to the guy who's supposed to
Speaker 2: be telling me about whyse spiritual things? Wow, a spiritual thing?
Speaker 2: Why am I sitting here thinking of such a strange thing?
Speaker 2: And that got me thinking we should talk about on
Speaker 2: our open mic strange thoughts. So I was wondering, Austin,
Speaker 2: what are some of the strangest thoughts you have or
Speaker 2: had that you can recall and if you're having a
Speaker 2: hard time that I could throw out one that I
Speaker 2: have quite often and hear about that. No, it's it's
Speaker 2: gonna be a PG thirteen at tops right now, Okay.
Speaker 2: I was thinking about, you know, the existence of life
Speaker 2: and reality? What is it? I think about this quite often, actually,
Speaker 2: and part of it is because of my background as
Speaker 2: a video game developer. And in video games, you're playing
Speaker 2: as a character in the video game, and there are
Speaker 2: other characters in the game called n PCs, non playing characters, right,
Speaker 2: and they are program to do certain things. And then
Speaker 2: also when you look at a video game what you
Speaker 2: see on the screen, that is what the computer program
Speaker 2: behind the scenes is actually drawing. And it uses this
Speaker 2: thing called clipping distance, so it only draws what you
Speaker 2: see out to a certain distance. Beyond that there's nothing.
Speaker 2: And I was thinking, I wonder if life is kind
Speaker 2: of like that. What if I am the character of
Speaker 2: a game, not an NPC, because I am a playing character,
Speaker 2: I am the PC, and I am in this simulation
Speaker 2: of life. This creation like a giant virtual world, and
Speaker 2: only the things that I see and experience are actually
Speaker 2: being drawn while I look at them, which would mean
Speaker 2: that behind.
Speaker 1: Me a narcissistic point.
Speaker 2: I know it's totally narcissistic, but that means that behind
Speaker 2: me right now, there's nothing.
Speaker 1: Now there's a picture. I can see it.
Speaker 2: Well, you can see it, but I can't see it,
Speaker 2: So it might not really be either, because you might
Speaker 2: be an NPC telling me that there's something behind me.
Speaker 1: This sounds like the beginning of a guy who like
Speaker 1: blows up the school. Like he started thinking of these things,
Speaker 1: and then he thought the government, which was actually aliens,
Speaker 1: was looking at it and checking him, so he had
Speaker 1: to test it, and he had to save all the
Speaker 1: non playable characters from becoming bad guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so I see what you're going there with.
Speaker 2: Think about it this way too. If you are in
Speaker 2: a simulation, what if instead of me being the only
Speaker 2: playing character, what if all of us humans are PCs
Speaker 2: playing characters and the only thing that is drawn in
Speaker 2: front of us are the parts of the simulation. I
Speaker 2: know scientists have been talking about that we live in
Speaker 2: a simulation. Very like new No, no, no, but maybe
Speaker 2: the idea of it as more like a video game
Speaker 2: is kind of new for people that play, like I
Speaker 2: know you do Halo.
Speaker 1: Halo would represent my social boy.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Dogs, See that dog is not really barking. He's
Speaker 2: not really existing. It's just an uible que that's coming
Speaker 2: through the door because I can't see it.
Speaker 1: Slammy Hagar walking through the front.
Speaker 2: Slammy Hagar. That's going to be doing some laundry here
Speaker 2: in a second. Yeah, oh is it that, Slamy Hagar. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's your brother in law. It's not really real. It's
Speaker 2: all programmatic.
Speaker 1: It's not real man.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So do you ever have have you ever had
Speaker 2: that thought? Now, way before I ever heard scientists talking
Speaker 2: about that we live in a virtual simulation scientist, Yeah,
Speaker 2: before that. I had this thought a long time ago.
Speaker 2: I mean like I'm talking the nineteen like late eighties
Speaker 2: and early nineties. Woo, this is before the Matrix came
Speaker 2: out the movie. What if the universe exists for me
Speaker 2: so that I could experience and it's like a giant
Speaker 2: test that you're going through, what will you do? And
Speaker 2: then at the end when the incomes whatever that is,
Speaker 2: whether it's death or you know, the world explodes or
Speaker 2: the black hole swallows up everything. I don't know, whatever
Speaker 2: it is, what if? At that point, that's when you
Speaker 2: replay your test to see if you've graduated.
Speaker 1: Wow, your thoughts are way more in depth. Random thought
Speaker 1: I had the other day.
Speaker 2: It was strange, random, strange thought. It's got to be strange.
Speaker 1: It's strange. Okay, okay, yeah, my life and I were
Speaker 1: sitting there by the fireplace, just messing around on our phones,
Speaker 1: eating some your phone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just sitting there and missed around.
Speaker 1: And she told me something about her friend or something.
Speaker 1: They're they're pregnant or whatever. That's what happens if you
Speaker 1: miss around. But anyway, and I was like, that's cool.
Speaker 1: And a couple of minutes later, I was like, you
Speaker 1: would be a really cool name for like a reggae band,
Speaker 1: reggae band neon Fish.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, huh yeah. I like that. Neil Fish.
Speaker 1: Drink drink think, drink think see my mind, my yo,
Speaker 1: dink fish.
Speaker 2: I like it. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1: She thought that was funny. I thought, that's what you
Speaker 1: meant by random strange thoughts.
Speaker 2: Now, I was just thinking, you know, people have strange thoughts, right,
Speaker 2: So I mean, look at any like serial killer, they
Speaker 2: have strange thoughts that lead them to do really strange
Speaker 2: and bad things. Or you know, mass shootings, they have
Speaker 2: strange thoughts. Or look at conspiracy theories. There are a
Speaker 2: lot of strange thoughts that are involved with conspiracy theories.
Speaker 2: Or look at like politics, there are a lot of
Speaker 2: strange theories and politics.
Speaker 1: Or religion or religion, pick.
Speaker 2: Your strangeness, and those are all thoughts that take place
Speaker 2: inside of our head. I was just thinking, what are
Speaker 2: my strange thoughts? Well, one of them is the one
Speaker 2: I just talked about incessantly.
Speaker 1: There's a you talked about it for a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of mines minutes thing.
Speaker 2: He's looking at the recording device using.
Speaker 1: I'd say three point eight million lines, and I have
Speaker 1: like two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I have a lot to say. I've lived longer, Yeah,
Speaker 2: but I should have.
Speaker 1: Isn't it that what they say? A wise man runs
Speaker 1: his mouth a lot?
Speaker 2: What is it better to be a fool with few
Speaker 2: words than all with lots of words? To make it obvious?
Speaker 1: Lives pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around
Speaker 1: once in a while, you might miss it.
Speaker 2: That's a strange thought. I always say it wrong.
Speaker 1: It's always it's chicken chicka. But I like chick's like
Speaker 1: chicken pecan.
Speaker 2: Cow cow mouh cow chick.
Speaker 1: All right. I like this creature of Cascade like idea
Speaker 1: you had. What are we thinking?
Speaker 2: I don't think it should be like the typical you
Speaker 2: know creature in.
Speaker 1: The Latest Monster.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, like a reptilian snake, sea eel.
Speaker 1: Kind of thing, sea serpents.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, no, it's got to be different. I think
Speaker 2: maybe like a giant sea crab with pinchers.
Speaker 1: I think crabs are pretty well with salt limited. I know, well,
Speaker 1: crowdads I was sinking it'd be cool if we just
Speaker 1: freaked people out. The creature of Cascade Lake flies mm hm,
Speaker 1: And well why would he because he uses Cascade Lake
Speaker 1: as his hunting grounds.
Speaker 2: Does he does? He eat out of the air, out
Speaker 2: of the water he gets which he can't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he gets boaters and he gets.
Speaker 2: Some under or above the water boaters or divers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's just so many divers at Cascade.
Speaker 2: It could be a like a tick like creature that's bloodsucker.
Speaker 1: Flying scorpion tailed tick. Remember that we talked about at
Speaker 1: that camp.
Speaker 2: So interesting things, uh coming preview if we can get out.
Speaker 2: I bought a drone. Yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 1: We actually were planning on doing an open mic kind
Speaker 1: of about your drone.
Speaker 2: And yes, yeah, we were going to talk about the drone.
Speaker 2: And I also picked up a GoPro because we thought, hey,
Speaker 2: you know, since we have so many listeners, we should
Speaker 2: try to get even more listeners and come up with
Speaker 2: a YouTube channel and then we could have like twice
Speaker 2: the people both listen and watch are awesome videos that
Speaker 2: we were going to take. But we haven't done anything yet.
Speaker 2: I did chase your mom around with the drone while
Speaker 2: she was out in the bike park.
Speaker 1: That's cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was pretty cool until I forgot to put
Speaker 2: the antenna's up on the drone, so it got about
Speaker 2: a mile away and then.
Speaker 1: I don't care anymore.
Speaker 2: It had no reception actually, so then it's like, what
Speaker 2: does it do? What does it do when you goes
Speaker 2: beyond your ability to control it? What happens to the drone?
Speaker 2: And I was thinking, oh my gosh, I'm never going
Speaker 2: to find this thing, and it cost way too much
Speaker 2: money and here it is out there. It's probably gonna
Speaker 2: crash and burn. But then I look down and on
Speaker 2: my little monitor it said drone out of range returning home.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, my gosh, does that mean it's
Speaker 2: gonna fly all the way over to my home?
Speaker 1: But it's your.
Speaker 2: Launch point and I should have read this before I
Speaker 2: let it go.
Speaker 1: Instructions are important.
Speaker 2: But I had COVID at the time, so I was impaired.
Speaker 2: And so this drone house with COVID, Well that's why
Speaker 2: we went to a bike park where there was no people,
Speaker 2: and she was going to ride her bike. And then
Speaker 2: the next day she got Corona. Yeah, she got the
Speaker 2: rona the next day, and then we were, you know,
Speaker 2: basically trapped in the house watching Netflix for a week.
Speaker 1: Fun.
Speaker 2: That was pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Netflix and fever chills.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were vaccinated. We didn't do the booster shots,
Speaker 2: but we had her first and second vaccination. And then
Speaker 2: your sister who also I think they've even been boosted.
Speaker 2: They got it. And then you, who has not been vaccinated,
Speaker 2: but you did have Corona earlier.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got correct.
Speaker 2: You didn't get timber, You didn't you guys your family
Speaker 2: didn't catch it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody in my family. My wife got sick and
Speaker 1: we took you know, at home tests, but she got
Speaker 1: sick for like that day and the stay she felt fine,
Speaker 1: So it was kind of weird. Yeah, the vaccinated people,
Speaker 1: it's strange.
Speaker 2: And actually I read an article in the news yesterday
Speaker 2: that there's like a spike in the vaccinated people that
Speaker 2: are getting the new variants. Interesting where not so many
Speaker 2: of the non vaccinated people are getting this new variant.
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, that sucks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's hilarious. Kind of makes you wonder if it.
Speaker 2: Was worth it. Oh well, well, you know, we could
Speaker 2: go down this political quagmire hole. But well it is,
Speaker 2: I mean, it is kind of polarizing. It's very polarizing.
Speaker 2: It's a it's peep, it's polarized politicalness.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, politicalness.
Speaker 2: But what was I always talking about my drone?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: So the drone flew back to me and then I
Speaker 2: could hear it. It was way up there. It was like
Speaker 2: four hundred feet up and then it was just like
Speaker 2: started coming down. Yeah, And it came down and then
Speaker 2: my controller locked back onto it and I just pressed
Speaker 2: land and the thing just kind of hold my hand
Speaker 2: out and just kind of landed right in.
Speaker 1: My hand and did like a parrot in your hand? Yeah, probably,
Speaker 1: what does.
Speaker 2: The parents sound like? Yeah? And so if you don't
Speaker 2: know who we're talking about, parrots sixty nine Leftist an
Speaker 2: awesome review and we are on Yucks were hun Yucks
Speaker 2: and we mentioned her often and she will always be
Speaker 2: living in infamy at the streams saying podcast we love her,
Speaker 2: you know. I hope she'll listen again and then maybe
Speaker 2: she'll like us.
Speaker 1: I hope she gets that cracker.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but she thought we talked too much about ourselves
Speaker 2: like we're doing right now. But you know, do we care?
Speaker 2: This is the beauty of not having to worry about
Speaker 2: doing this to get money or paid or have listeners.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're just making memories.
Speaker 2: Man, memories, memory, memories, memories, I like those. You can
Speaker 2: never have too many memories or memories.
Speaker 1: I think you could definitely have too many memories. I
Speaker 1: think cemetery is important unless you're lopside and thinks the original.
Speaker 2: Total recall though, I mean that was like an awesome moment.
Speaker 2: Take total recall.
Speaker 1: I do not the couple's watun haig, I don't recall
Speaker 1: what you saying.
Speaker 2: And the lady had three memories?
Speaker 1: Is that a line or something?
Speaker 2: No, she like pulls her shirt open and she has
Speaker 2: three of them and they were symetrical because when I
Speaker 2: was in the middle and two on the sides.
Speaker 1: Wow, well not free, honey, but available.
Speaker 2: It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: It's a feat.
Speaker 2: It was. It was one of the most memorable, if memorable,
Speaker 2: parts of the movie. Yeah, it's pretty interesting. So you know, Okay,
Speaker 2: now you have to have strange things that you've thought of.
Speaker 2: I mean, okay, okay, here's another one. I'll do another one.
Speaker 2: I'm not embarrassed, I afraid because I'm human and I
Speaker 2: have these things. So in the bank, standing in line
Speaker 2: guy comes in with a shady look on his face,
Speaker 2: and the next thing, you know, in my mind, I'm
Speaker 2: having a full on fight with this guys he's trained
Speaker 2: rob the bank and I'm doing backflips and cartwheels and
Speaker 2: I'm like doing kung fumu.
Speaker 1: Three nippled lady. You're protecting her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so that's a strange thought.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I get a lot, and like, I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's that about driving.
Speaker 2: Do you get driving strange thoughts like I want to
Speaker 2: run over that guy?
Speaker 1: No, not so much. I pretty much absorb all my
Speaker 1: time with podcasts, and audio books when I'm driving. Oh,
Speaker 1: but I do think about, like like at work, like
Speaker 1: if somebody were to come in with a gun, what
Speaker 1: would I do? Would I go behind the machine and
Speaker 1: like yeah? And then I wonder like should I like
Speaker 1: turn the hose valve on and just spray them with coolants?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah? Or if you could have like that stuff
Speaker 2: that'll you know, burn out their eyes, like acid or something.
Speaker 1: I'll go to the flammable cabinet and light them on fire. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I do have a weird not like that. Typically. Usually
Speaker 1: it's more like you run.
Speaker 2: Away, you know. It's it's funny. I think everybody out
Speaker 2: there that hears this podcast, who fifty of them, have
Speaker 2: had or do have on a regular basis, these kind
Speaker 2: of fantasy, kind of strange thoughts that go through their mind.
Speaker 2: What will I do in the situation? Or what if
Speaker 2: I lost fifty pounds? Well, would I look like that
Speaker 2: string bikini? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I have.
Speaker 2: I have that one all the time.
Speaker 1: I have thoughts about like if I, like tomorrow, something
Speaker 1: happens I get rear ended by a semi truck turns
Speaker 1: out that guy who was driving was on drugs. I
Speaker 1: threatened to sue the semi truck company. The semi truck
Speaker 1: company pays me out of pocket to keep me quiet.
Speaker 1: Why I buy a new truck.
Speaker 2: And then because of that, yeah, yeah, yeah, or okay, hey,
Speaker 2: what about this one? Your wife is on the way
Speaker 2: home and she's twenty minutes late, and you started happening, Oh,
Speaker 2: I hope she's not in an accident, and then you're
Speaker 2: you know, it's thirty minutes later and she's still at home,
Speaker 2: and then you're like, oh, man, what if she's an accident.
Speaker 2: What if she died? And then you're like, you know,
Speaker 2: at forty minutes, you're like, oh, she's texting her, she's
Speaker 2: gone ETA quest. What will I do. I'll be so
Speaker 2: sad for so long. I'll just probably not do anything.
Speaker 1: I'll have to buy a jet bode.
Speaker 2: And then fifty minutes into it, you're like, I'd probably
Speaker 2: just go get my own home and go drive somewhere
Speaker 2: and live. And then by now you're like, yeah, I'd
Speaker 2: be around a campfire all by myself, and I'd look
Speaker 2: up and there'd be this beautiful lady walking towards me.
Speaker 2: And then it's like, next thing, you know, you're like
Speaker 2: having this whole scenario Where's the Widow? Where sad and
Speaker 2: forlorn is like, somebody comes into your life. They're gonna
Speaker 2: make your life better, and they're gonna tell you how
Speaker 2: awesome you are and how good of a husband you were,
Speaker 2: and you're gonna just be happy. And then your wife
Speaker 2: walks into You're like, oh, man, I think you watched
Speaker 2: too many of such a great fantasy. Your wife was so.
Speaker 1: Good until you came back from the dead.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you were gone and I was moving on, and
Speaker 2: now I gotta go back to where I was.
Speaker 1: I already went through all of this.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be really hard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny, it's weird.
Speaker 2: That's a strange thing.
Speaker 1: I've been listening to the spotified Lord of the Rings books.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you've had them on out on
Speaker 2: the ground.
Speaker 1: I'm like super obsessed them.
Speaker 2: They're really good.
Speaker 1: They're really good. They have like sound effects and like
Speaker 1: you know, voice acting and the background music from the movies.
Speaker 1: It's like when they come into Rivendell, it's like, yeah, ANGELI.
Speaker 1: And when they're in hobbiton or the Shire, it's like, is.
Speaker 2: It hobbitat or Hobbit hobbitown? Do Doo doo fire scandals.
Speaker 1: That's why I've been my life mostly. That's a lot
Speaker 1: of bookage.
Speaker 2: Okay, now, okay, So talking about strange thoughts because I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm trying to turn this open mic into a open
Speaker 2: mic in Austin. It feels like into a theme. Okay,
Speaker 2: So strange thoughts when you well, okay, I used to
Speaker 2: read tons of fantasy books. I love them, including The
Speaker 2: Hobbit and all of those, and you know, just tons
Speaker 2: of them. Yeah, And then when I would quit reading
Speaker 2: because I'd read them so much, my brain would be
Speaker 2: in like narrator mode and I would think in the
Speaker 2: way that had been written. So like, does that happen
Speaker 2: when you're listening to the audiobooks? That when all the
Speaker 2: time you have a thought and you're like your inner
Speaker 2: voice is like a narrator voice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be driving into work and I'm running a
Speaker 1: little bit late, and the sun's coming up over the mountains,
Speaker 1: the red sun rises in the east.
Speaker 2: I'm late for wook this day?
Speaker 1: Weirdo?
Speaker 2: Your brain does that?
Speaker 1: That is?
Speaker 2: So? So what's that book with Ben's or not Ben's Ben? Still? Yeah? Yeah, no, no,
Speaker 2: well that was good too, but no, it's the one
Speaker 2: where he lives in a fantasy world inside of his
Speaker 2: brain and then he ends up going to Iceland and
Speaker 2: he goes in the snow leopard or something. He goes
Speaker 2: there and takes a picture of it with some famous
Speaker 2: guy that was Sean Pinn.
Speaker 1: What did you pass out or No? I just like
Speaker 1: zoned out for a second.
Speaker 2: Okay, do you do that a lot? Yeah, it's that
Speaker 2: kind of thing where you you live in this inner
Speaker 2: fantasy instead of out in the real world in real life.
Speaker 1: That's like a mental illness. I think that'll happen to
Speaker 1: people as they'll get so caught up in there, like
Speaker 1: imagine aary yeah life, that they kind of neglect their
Speaker 1: real life.
Speaker 2: Oh and how easy is that to do? Now? You
Speaker 2: can live in this virtual world of social media and interaction.
Speaker 2: You don't have to go out and actually meet anybody
Speaker 2: for real. That's like, you know, anybody who's on dating apps,
Speaker 2: are you going to meet the real person that you
Speaker 2: think you're meeting? And I know I've read articles about
Speaker 2: you know, dating apps in Japan, people don't even go
Speaker 2: meet anymore because.
Speaker 1: They would rather make an avatar and like, yeah and
Speaker 1: experience and experience the other person's avatar, even though it
Speaker 1: might not be true.
Speaker 2: They want the fake person, they don't want the real card.
Speaker 2: So if you don't know that that beautiful hot woman
Speaker 2: is actually a sixty year old, four hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: pound male with you know, then then hey, it's okay
Speaker 2: because in your little world you're good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're just living it up like that. Ignorance is bliss.
Speaker 1: Why did we order again? Was it the swordfish, the
Speaker 1: monk fish, the gold fish?
Speaker 2: We got the catfish turned from average to savage, sad
Speaker 2: bitch to bad bitch at.
Speaker 1: Your phone, let your eye to ach blink, and I
Speaker 1: go from fast food to a fine dish.
Speaker 2: You can be whatever you want to be.
Speaker 1: And that's kind of like where my little where I
Speaker 1: get reranded by the semi truck thing and you're and
Speaker 1: I'm fine, yeah, And then I get my new truck
Speaker 1: and because of that, I can go hunting because it
Speaker 1: gets better gas mileage or whatever. And got a camper
Speaker 1: because we made so much money off of the sky.
Speaker 1: And then you know, like it goes on and on
Speaker 1: and then like that, life would be dope. It would
Speaker 1: be dope. I can take my family up camping with
Speaker 1: this big truck on a hunting trip. It's all basically
Speaker 1: free because they got reranded.
Speaker 2: It'd be awesome. Yeah, it starts out small, and it's
Speaker 2: not like it's not like this plan. It's like it evolves. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and it's almost like this inner narrative that as it
Speaker 2: goes along it gets better and better. Like I've been
Speaker 2: waking up weird at night with like strange dreams, and
Speaker 2: they start out with something really simple and then I
Speaker 2: wake up and I'll think about it for a minute,
Speaker 2: I'll go back to sleep and it'll like carry on,
Speaker 2: it'll continue.
Speaker 1: I love those dreams.
Speaker 2: Well, and this Yeah, it's been weird, but there's this weirdness.
Speaker 2: So you wake up and well it's called the klempseha
Speaker 2: because I wake up on a very the climp because
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do with his dream. I
Speaker 2: can't feel good about it. Yeah, but there's a part
Speaker 2: of it that makes me feel kind of good. So
Speaker 2: that's a strange thing.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of oversharing. I've had some weird dreams
Speaker 1: lately too, but they're not memorable. I remember waking up
Speaker 1: at like three and then I had to go to
Speaker 1: the bathroom, got a glass of water and then went
Speaker 1: back to bed, and I was like, man, if I
Speaker 1: could just continue that dream, it'd be cool. But I
Speaker 1: don't even remember what it was I do. I did
Speaker 1: say something in my dream out loud. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I was out, but in my dream, like I
Speaker 1: was having a conversation with my boss and you said
Speaker 1: are you are you getting your stuff done? And I
Speaker 1: was like, man, I'm working harder than a stenographer in
Speaker 1: an auction house.
Speaker 2: And I thought that was pretty funny, as like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you come up with that. It almost made you scratched
Speaker 2: your head for a minute and think about did I.
Speaker 1: Come up with that in real life or had I
Speaker 1: heard that? Or did dream me just come up with
Speaker 1: some really funny.
Speaker 2: And then if it's all the simulation, does it really
Speaker 2: even matter?
Speaker 1: Is it dream? Just like the loading page? You know?
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Oh I found out an interesting thing.
Speaker 2: Share this and it's because it's strange. So my parents
Speaker 2: who they passed away, both of them, and they were
Speaker 2: cremated in their ashes. Their remains were put in.
Speaker 1: A little kind of cool learn thing.
Speaker 2: No, they're not in earns, they're like the little boxes. Okay,
Speaker 2: and then you can have those those remains put into
Speaker 2: an earn or whatever and then entombed, okay, and you
Speaker 2: can have them either buried or whatever. So I was
Speaker 2: doing research now that both my mom and my dad
Speaker 2: have both been cremated and they are currently living together
Speaker 2: in a grandfather's clock at his house. The boxes are
Speaker 2: in the bottom of the clock, and you know, we
Speaker 2: wanted them to spend more time together, I guess anyway,
Speaker 2: So I called the cemetery because my dad had purchased
Speaker 2: a long time ago eight plots, and we were like, oh, well,
Speaker 2: I don't know how many plots there are left. So
Speaker 2: I called and got some information about when you're buried,
Speaker 2: how many of these little remains, these cremated remain boxes
Speaker 2: or earns can you put in one plot at a
Speaker 2: cemetery because a plot is like I think they're like
Speaker 2: seven feet long, maybe a little longer, and two or
Speaker 2: three feet wide.
Speaker 1: Okay, so they're roughly human shape.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. To put them in you have to have
Speaker 2: they put They put a concrete basically container construct inside
Speaker 2: and then they put the coffin inside of the concrete
Speaker 2: container and then it's sealed up, and then they throw
Speaker 2: dirt on top of you and I think they bury
Speaker 2: you six feet and in one plot you can stack
Speaker 2: two of these concrete containers, so you can put two
Speaker 2: people one on top of each other and they'll share
Speaker 2: a headstump. And I think a lot of people who've
Speaker 2: gone to cemeteries can relate to that. Well, that's not
Speaker 2: true if you are cremated. If you are cremated those
Speaker 2: concrete containers. You can put three mini containers in one
Speaker 2: plot and put two cremated remains as long as the
Speaker 2: urns aren't oversized in each container. So you can put
Speaker 2: six people remains in one plot.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's just called a six by six six people
Speaker 1: six feet under.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so my dad had eight and there are three
Speaker 2: plots remaining. So I did math because I can kind
Speaker 2: of do a little bit of math, and three times
Speaker 2: six is we could put up to eighteen people inside
Speaker 2: those things.
Speaker 1: A lot of people.
Speaker 2: Anyway, that's a strange thing.
Speaker 1: It is no idea, something different.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And just so you know, you can't double stack.
Speaker 2: You can triple single level, but you can't double stack
Speaker 2: the smaller concrete containers, so you can't put six containers
Speaker 2: in one grave. Technically they're the same size as two
Speaker 2: concrete containers of non cremated people. I know, it's confusing.
Speaker 2: It's a very strange things. Well, you know when you
Speaker 2: sell real estate by the end, I guess you know.
Speaker 1: That's that reminds me. The other day, I got a
Speaker 1: phone call from those guys you know, spam, scam, scam,
Speaker 1: make me spank me call and he calls. Knew it
Speaker 1: was gonna be a scam because he goes at the
Speaker 1: beginning is like the skype thing. It's like, and then
Speaker 1: then I start hello. When I hear that noise, I
Speaker 1: always lower my voice and kind of make it scratchy first,
Speaker 1: like hello, And then the guy's like, yes, sir, thank
Speaker 1: you for picking up my full corde. Do you have
Speaker 1: a few minutes of your time for to me? We
Speaker 1: can talk about your final expenses. How old are you, sir?
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, I'm sixty nine. And he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's very good. Do you have plans for your future
Speaker 1: as to you know, if Heaven forbid you were to
Speaker 1: pass or something said, are you threatening me? And then
Speaker 1: he's like, no, sir, no, sir, I was for future.
Speaker 1: Heaven forbid, I mean God forbid. It would ever be
Speaker 1: so sad if that were to happen, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know what, you know what Pal? You listen here pal,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm an atheist, and now I would appreciate you
Speaker 1: being so ignorant, ignorant to what my feelings are, and
Speaker 1: I don't like you spreading it. What if, here pal,
Speaker 1: here pal? What if I called you up one day
Speaker 1: and said you're gonna die? And then I hung up
Speaker 1: like he was, probably like what in the world. No,
Speaker 1: His accent probably would have waked. I can't believe that.
Speaker 1: Just Hey, did you hear that one? That was a
Speaker 1: good one? Yeah, you can hear the other guy on
Speaker 1: the other side of the office laughing.
Speaker 2: Oh, I hate those I get. I get four or
Speaker 2: five a day.
Speaker 1: It seems like it's obnoxious every once in a while.
Speaker 2: Though, yeah, me too, it's kind of fun.
Speaker 1: I have the best story about that. When I was painting,
Speaker 1: I worked with a guy at the Viking I was
Speaker 1: I was with the Viking and where we got these
Speaker 1: scam calls. And I think it comes from companies like
Speaker 1: T sheets and like time card companies. I think they
Speaker 1: straight up sell your information, probably, but you use these
Speaker 1: companies to clock in and out of your jobs and stuff.
Speaker 1: So everybody on the paint crew is getting this the
Speaker 1: scam calls and usually it's like car warranties and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. So we're painting. It's just me and the
Speaker 1: Viking in this kitchen, just painting away, and he gets one,
Speaker 1: and you know, we've kind of made it a thing
Speaker 1: where we get each other's attention so we can listen
Speaker 1: to this interaction. And the Viking is named the Viking
Speaker 1: because he's Viking, right, yea, and hello, yes, uh huh yeah,
Speaker 1: it's Becky spelled Becky and last name Tom Plinkinson. And
Speaker 1: then I'm sure on the other end, how do you
Speaker 1: spell that? Like Tom? And then like p and then
Speaker 1: Lincoln like the president, and then his son Tom Plinkinson.
Speaker 1: He really did. He's got a straight well he's he's
Speaker 1: like doing a great job, but he's got tears coming
Speaker 1: out of his eyes. He's got enough chewing tobacci in
Speaker 1: his left flip to clog a toilet. He's Tom Clinkinson.
Speaker 1: And then the guy asked about what cars, Well, I
Speaker 1: actually have two cars. My boyfriend treats me really well,
Speaker 1: and I got a truck and f one fifty And
Speaker 1: she just goes it's purple, but I asked him to
Speaker 1: get me a green one because purple just seems too
Speaker 1: gaudy or whatever. He's coming up with all this. It
Speaker 1: was pretty funny, and we're both when the call ends,
Speaker 1: we're both just dying. And the lady who owned the
Speaker 1: house was probably like, what are they doing in there?
Speaker 2: What's that noise?
Speaker 1: There's another element is you've got two big dudes in
Speaker 1: your kitchen painting yep, and then the noises that are
Speaker 1: coming out of there is giggling and a really bad girl.
Speaker 2: Voice, effeminate voice going oh Jesus had to be that
Speaker 2: sounds hilarious. I love things like that. They're so good. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He was fun to work with. He he'd like, be
Speaker 1: on a ladder and it'll be, you know, twenty feet
Speaker 1: up painting like an eve or whatever. Yeah, and instead
Speaker 1: of coming down and moving a ladder every time, you
Speaker 1: kind of like lean and try to just paint that
Speaker 1: last little bit. But he'd go like, well, he's stretching,
Speaker 1: and more than once somebody come out of the house
Speaker 1: and be like, oh my god, it's everything okay, And
Speaker 1: then he's up there just like yeah, everythink Fine's pretty funny.
Speaker 1: That's hilarious good stuff.
Speaker 2: Well, and knowing who you're talking about, I get the
Speaker 2: visual imagery of this guy. And they called him the
Speaker 2: Viking for a reason because he's like a wedge, I
Speaker 2: mean big, thick, not heavy, but he's just thick, yeah.
Speaker 1: Strong, Yeah, and he's like a wrestler in college, right, yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got kind of looks, you know, like got long hair, beard, gages.
Speaker 1: He's a brick.
Speaker 2: He's a brick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny, good stuff.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I think we blabbed for a long time.
Speaker 2: This is kind of an adequate I guess, you know,
Speaker 2: cap for our fiftieth episode before we get back to
Speaker 2: doing more of our investigatory kind of strange things. Is
Speaker 2: there anything else you want to talk about before we
Speaker 2: close this off? And at least we got something out
Speaker 2: there for the fifty people that might notice that we
Speaker 2: haven't right.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have anything elf the top
Speaker 1: of my head.
Speaker 2: Don't either, other than I'm I'm, you know, hoping for
Speaker 2: fun and many adventures in the next little bit. And
Speaker 2: we'll just keep trying. Yeah, mean, that's all you can
Speaker 2: do is.
Speaker 1: Keep trying, right, And the weather's getting better. It is
Speaker 1: getting better, so hopefully that'll allow us to get out more.
Speaker 1: You're not going to get COVID.
Speaker 2: No, I won't get COVID again unless there's some other
Speaker 2: weird iteration. But maybe you get the pox the monkey pot,
Speaker 2: but I guess that's more of a sexually transmitted kind
Speaker 2: of thing. You sound like, yeah, And there's.
Speaker 1: Not like no funky monkey.
Speaker 2: It's not like there are like thousands of cases. It's like,
Speaker 2: I think the last time I heard there was twenty one,
Speaker 2: and so it's kind of weird that there's so much
Speaker 2: news exposure on this when it's like, well twenty one
Speaker 2: people in the US.
Speaker 1: Everybody's trying to ride that COVID lightning. You know, they're like,
Speaker 1: people were so scared of COVID. Now if we can
Speaker 1: just make something else, we can get our YouTube channel
Speaker 1: or our conspiracy network just popping.
Speaker 2: I think people I, you know, crave bad news or
Speaker 2: something else, or the people that control the news like
Speaker 2: to feed a lot of bad news to from thinking
Speaker 2: about the other things that are way more important. I
Speaker 2: don't know, it's weird.
Speaker 1: It is pretty, but.
Speaker 2: That's conspiracy stuff, and I don't want to get into
Speaker 2: that because.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm getting well, I've always been kind of
Speaker 1: this way. But a lot of people like at Walmart,
Speaker 1: you know, around here, well they're not people. A lot
Speaker 1: of people like at Walmart or fred Meier or wherever
Speaker 1: you go get groceries, nobody's wearing masks. No, there's a
Speaker 1: couple hardcore people, the core people or and I feel
Speaker 1: like even that they're not afraid of COVID. They're just
Speaker 1: doing it now as a practice to not get sick,
Speaker 1: or they have to because that's what the work requirements is,
Speaker 1: something like that. But I think people are all like
Speaker 1: over it. Like I don't know, I can't speak for everybody,
Speaker 1: but around here people are like, I can I just
Speaker 1: want it COVID and then I can get some time
Speaker 1: off work. It'll be paid and then I don't get
Speaker 1: to worry about it again.
Speaker 2: And I can you know, if they give me hard time,
Speaker 2: I can like use all the federal assistance and I
Speaker 2: can pay my mortgage, I can pay for my rent,
Speaker 2: I can get my rental assistance.
Speaker 1: People.
Speaker 2: I can say COVID impacted people.
Speaker 1: Around here just like I'm done. I don't care if
Speaker 1: I can get it or I don't, or they are
Speaker 1: almost like more wanting to get sick now than they
Speaker 1: were before. It's crazy, I.
Speaker 2: Can admit it. It wasn't fun. It wasn't horrible. I mean,
Speaker 2: it wasn't like the worst sickness I've ever had, but
Speaker 2: it just it lingers, like right now in my voice.
Speaker 2: I still wake up in the morning sometimes and I'm
Speaker 2: like kind of shitty, and I don't like that, but
Speaker 2: I'm not. I wasn't like ever like, oh, this is
Speaker 2: the worst thing ever I've had flus before where I
Speaker 2: thought I was gonna die. Yeah, and they were so horrible.
Speaker 1: Laying on the floor like in parks and recreation, you're
Speaker 1: just like stop pooping, just laying on the tile floor
Speaker 1: to get cold final.
Speaker 2: And sometimes you know, you're just so cold. I remember
Speaker 2: having like chills for like days, and they were multiplying,
Speaker 2: and then you get to the fever, right it don't
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 1: I got cheese. They're multiplying and I'm in control.
Speaker 2: You're gonna do that. Then I thought you're gonna do
Speaker 2: the fever song.
Speaker 1: Right after that, but never know how much I love it,
Speaker 1: right fever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, anyway, But so it wasn't bad, It just
Speaker 2: it just didn't go away. Quickly, didn't clear quickly, and
Speaker 2: I still like blow my nose and it's like I
Speaker 2: can't believe the the viscosity, stickiness of like the stuff
Speaker 2: that comes out. It's like, what is this? This is
Speaker 2: like the consistency even gorilla.
Speaker 1: Glos bearing grease coming out of your But then.
Speaker 2: It dries hard and it's like she can't scrab it up.
Speaker 2: I could make a mint if I could bottle this stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, use it for bearing grease.
Speaker 2: And then glue. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I had a kind of a stomach bug the other
Speaker 1: day kind of went through not the other day, a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks back, and it went through my in
Speaker 1: laws literally, yeah, for real, literally, but it's like where
Speaker 1: you're shelby. My wife said that we reached a new
Speaker 1: point in our marriage because I got up to get
Speaker 1: to work and she was in the bathroom kind of
Speaker 1: like she had her head kind of like on the
Speaker 1: bathtub and she just had water running and it was
Speaker 1: really hot and steamy. So she's probably trying to like
Speaker 1: clear out her sinuses or just don't know, she just
Speaker 1: wasn't doing good. I went downstairs got a drink of water.
Speaker 1: By the time I got back upstairs, I was gonna
Speaker 1: throw up, so I bust open the bathroom. I'm like,
Speaker 1: get out, I have to throw up, and she, you know,
Speaker 1: jumps up and runs out of the bathroom, shuts door.
Speaker 1: I throw up in the toilet. Two seconds later that
Speaker 1: door goes, blasts the hole in the wall, and not really,
Speaker 1: but she kicks the door open, goes and throws up
Speaker 1: in the bathtub.
Speaker 2: So well, what else do you do.
Speaker 1: We're both sitting there throwing up, and you know, it's miserable,
Speaker 1: and we're both wanting to help each other, but we're
Speaker 1: both dyed. And then just in the middle of it all,
Speaker 1: you know, in between sessions, if you will, Shelby's like,
Speaker 1: I think we reached a new level in our marriage.
Speaker 2: It's like throws together. It was awful.
Speaker 1: It's just I don't know. That was worse than COVID.
Speaker 1: I think when I got COVID, the worst part was
Speaker 1: that I had strap throat and a sinus infection and
Speaker 1: COVID and I was hunting in the mountains and it
Speaker 1: was pouring rain the.
Speaker 2: Whole time, and you drink too much alcohol.
Speaker 1: That was the only good part, iterized my throat. I'd
Speaker 1: come back to the camper and i'd you know, have
Speaker 1: a shot or to a whiskey and a beer and
Speaker 1: it would disinfect. With a gallon of ibuprofen. I owe
Speaker 1: my cousin Ryan a bunch of ibuprofen because I ate
Speaker 1: all his. But it would cut my fever down. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah that I've had a probably all day and didn't
Speaker 1: realize it, and then I'd feel so good at like midnight,
Speaker 1: I'd be.
Speaker 2: Like, whoa, let's go do something next morning. And then yeah,
Speaker 2: exactly that when he broke my bike. Yeah, that's I.
Speaker 1: Weigh fifty pounds more than you, probably two ninety what Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe I'm at two forty you're at one. I weigh
Speaker 1: two hundred, so I'm forty pounds heavier. Yeah, And then
Speaker 1: I have, like I don't know, a forty pounds backpack
Speaker 1: on with a bow and I'm going down the trail.
Speaker 1: I think your bike was just like, get this fat
Speaker 1: guy off me. I'm just gonna pop a tire to
Speaker 1: get over that's catching air and stuff.
Speaker 2: Would you owe me because that cost me like thirty bucks?
Speaker 1: Oh man?
Speaker 2: Do we want to keep rambling? We're like, gosh, where
Speaker 2: do I get? Fifteen minutes we talked fifty minutes.
Speaker 1: What a perfect number to end on.
Speaker 2: Fifty minutes for our fiftieth episode, and.
Speaker 1: We just got to make it two more minutes, roughly
Speaker 1: two more minutes, yeah, two more minutes because it's eight
Speaker 1: forty eight. Yeah, what do you got for two minutes?
Speaker 2: I was going to try to think of more strange
Speaker 2: thoughts that I've had, but I have so many. It's like,
Speaker 2: and I don't want people to think I'm that guy.
Speaker 1: I tend to think about. I tend to think about
Speaker 1: what I would do if I were to like catch
Speaker 1: a rapist, Oh yeah, and how I would beat the
Speaker 1: living turds out of them?
Speaker 2: Or have you ever had thoughts like so, like there
Speaker 2: was this mass shooting of young kids, innocent kids. That
Speaker 2: stuff is horrible, but so what it does? It triggers
Speaker 2: in me what I would do if there was something
Speaker 2: going on right, And you know, it's like, all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, I turned from a fairly mild bannered, easygoing.
Speaker 1: Kind to Mike cornered wolverine to like, I will take
Speaker 1: you out. Yeah that's yeah, I think about that, but
Speaker 1: that's so dark.
Speaker 2: We can't end on that.
Speaker 1: You got one minute to turn this around?
Speaker 2: Well, you know, the happy thoughts of all of this
Speaker 2: kind of stuff is that of the strange thoughts you have.
Speaker 2: You have tons of strange happy thoughts. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: I have thoughts about like, have you ever had thoughts
Speaker 2: about how you can do something for somebody and make
Speaker 2: your date baty?
Speaker 1: That's one. If I won the lottery or something came
Speaker 1: into money, and how like that lady that mom who's
Speaker 1: walking out to the car, she's got a daughter, and
Speaker 1: a daughter's balling. It's two she or bag rips and
Speaker 1: she gets in this clunker and it's not starting. You know,
Speaker 1: you just watch it play out. So you step out
Speaker 1: of your Mercedes. You walk over there and you're like, hey,
Speaker 1: you want this and just handle the keys to a Mercedes?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you see, that'd be good. But here's the
Speaker 2: bad thing about that is that if you keep waiting
Speaker 2: for that to happen, it will never happen. It will
Speaker 2: never come. You'll never be able to be the person
Speaker 2: that makes somebody have joy. But you can't like kill everybody.
Speaker 2: The other day said no, the other day, I was
Speaker 2: in I was in Winco.
Speaker 1: Are you going to tell us about how good you are? No?
Speaker 2: No, no, No, I was in the grocery store and there
Speaker 2: was a lady there that.
Speaker 1: Had all no it was Costco.
Speaker 2: I was in Costco and there's a lady there that
Speaker 2: had five kids of various ages from probably two because
Speaker 2: they were all walking two to probably seven, and they
Speaker 2: were in the aisle and she was trying to tell
Speaker 2: them to get out of the way of other people.
Speaker 2: It was like crazy busy time. She was just stretched
Speaker 2: to the max, like butter over to my friend and
Speaker 2: so as I went by, and the little kid jumped
Speaker 2: out in front of me and almost hid him. She said, Nick,
Speaker 2: she said, She said, I am so sorry. She said,
Speaker 2: this is so hard. I shouldn't have come this time
Speaker 2: of day. And I said, you know what, I think
Speaker 2: you're doing an awesome job. Good job. Yeah, that's so,
Speaker 2: I said, And you could tell just that one word
Speaker 2: changed her whole outlook. She smiled big. She kind of
Speaker 2: grabbed her kid that she was kind of being rough
Speaker 2: with and kind of patted him on the head and
Speaker 2: kind of just pushed him over jentily. It was like
Speaker 2: and all it took for me was to swallow my
Speaker 2: frustrated shit and say, hey, I think you're doing an
Speaker 2: awesome job.
Speaker 1: I did something like that that was much less I
Speaker 1: think I told you about this before, but much less kind.
Speaker 1: I was at a Walmart where I reside typically, and
Speaker 1: I was going through, like where they have.
Speaker 2: The towels and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then on the next aisle was like soap dispensers,
Speaker 1: and but I could hear on the other side the
Speaker 1: other aisle his baby just screaming, and then coming down
Speaker 1: the other direction with his cart, some douchey looking dude,
Speaker 1: and he just puts his head back up over the
Speaker 1: thing and goes, shot your kid up. And I straight
Speaker 1: up like turned my cart right in front of him,
Speaker 1: and I was like, do you have kids?
Speaker 2: Do you have to do this? Really?
Speaker 1: Yeah? And he's like no.
Speaker 2: I'm like, then you don't get to talk. She's having
Speaker 2: a bad day.
Speaker 1: And then I walked away, like you in the back
Speaker 1: of the Yeah, I got all mad, but he looked
Speaker 1: like scared too, because he wasn't a very big guy.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I like, I don't know what kicked it
Speaker 1: off for me.
Speaker 2: I was ready to throw it down the button.
Speaker 1: He's got the nerve. And then I just turned my
Speaker 1: cart in front of him and made it stop. And
Speaker 1: I was pretty living well.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's a good thing to end this podcast. On
Speaker 2: number fifty, we ended on a positive note, which is
Speaker 2: go out and don't do anything major. I mean you can,
Speaker 2: if you want, go fight somebody at Walmart, but go
Speaker 2: out and say a kind word to somebody and try
Speaker 2: to make somebody's day better. What a great thing. If
Speaker 2: we can only get one of our fifty listeners to
Speaker 2: go out and do that, that would be awesome. Please
Speaker 2: tell us say, you know what. I heard your thing
Speaker 2: and I went out. I decided I was going to
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 1: I went out.
Speaker 2: I just told that neighbor, that fat guy next door,
Speaker 2: that he's looking good man. He said thanks, yeah, no, no,
Speaker 2: he flipped me off.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, he thought I was being sarcastic. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was That'd be a fun thing to do for our listeners.
Speaker 1: Like you guys can write in that'd be great episode.
Speaker 1: You know, anonymous would be ideal. I think, yeah, but
Speaker 1: that's just me. But but you can't just go well,
Speaker 1: mister number three four seven did this. We'll just say like,
Speaker 1: oh and Billy Bob or Katie Joe or Leanna, or
Speaker 1: we could just assign names to that place.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, well yeah, maybe not even if.
Speaker 1: You don't want to leave your name for the sake
Speaker 1: of anonymity, we will change your name.
Speaker 2: And yeah, and if you do want your name, go
Speaker 2: ahead and send it, and then we will just mock you.
Speaker 1: Gosh, that's not true. No, do acts of kindness even
Speaker 1: if you do claim it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but that
Speaker 1: would be a fun thing to get, just random acts
Speaker 1: of kindness. We did.
Speaker 2: We did an episode Strange acts of Kindness, one of
Speaker 2: our first ones. That would be fun to do another one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be cool if we could get our group
Speaker 1: of twelve people yeah in on it.
Speaker 2: Are you talking about our listeners?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they could all you know, and then
Speaker 1: maybe that would encourage them to be nice to do
Speaker 1: more people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they would help be nice and spreading kindness.
Speaker 1: That being said, I also want to hear when you've
Speaker 1: been really mean to somebody, because those often.
Speaker 2: Random acts of violence, strange acts of violence or meanness.
Speaker 1: Don't go be mean.
Speaker 2: No, we don't want to hear those. First, we got
Speaker 2: to do the kind thing, and then we can have
Speaker 2: a confessional where everybody can like tell about the bad
Speaker 2: thing they did. Forgive me father, for I have I
Speaker 2: have send and so have you get your hands off me?
