Speaker 1: All right, So I saw this survey and I'm just
Speaker 1: finding it hard to believe. But the survey says that
Speaker 1: more than half of Americans don't know what Memorial Day is.
Speaker 2: I don't believe that. Okay, I don't believe that fifty
Speaker 2: percent a lot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know there are people that don't know, but
Speaker 1: like even that, are they my kids?
Speaker 3: Well, and my kids know, by the way.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Or is it people that get it mixed up
Speaker 4: with Veterans Day or Labor Day?
Speaker 3: Right? Or well?
Speaker 1: I saw the post over the weekend, and I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's entirely accurate, right, because Veterans Day is
Speaker 1: about those that were all so died, right, and the
Speaker 1: More Day is clearly about those that have died.
Speaker 3: But you're not going to shun a vet who hasn't
Speaker 3: died on Memorial Day?
Speaker 1: Right, No, no, no, you know what I mean? So
Speaker 1: they are the line is blurred a little bit, so
Speaker 1: I can. I'll get that to a degree. I just
Speaker 1: most people don't get Veterans Day off, but everybody gets
Speaker 1: a Memorial Day off.
Speaker 2: I just find it hard to believe. Let's like saying,
Speaker 2: you don't know what July fourth is. I don't remember
Speaker 2: being taught about Memorial Day or Labor Day in school.
Speaker 2: Definitely taught about Veterans Day, Definitely taught about Christmas and
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving and all those other fucking holidays people get off
Speaker 2: fourth of July.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and maybe that's why.
Speaker 2: Well, well, the other asterisk is you're not in school.
Speaker 3: True, I haven't been there in a long time. No.
Speaker 1: No, I mean like during those Veterans Day you're in school. True,
Speaker 1: but a lot of schools have Veterans Day recitals or performances.
Speaker 2: Right right, right, But you aren't in school, and during
Speaker 2: the Fourth of July they still teach you about it.
Speaker 2: What I mean, So I see where you're coming at.
Speaker 2: You you don't have school at that time, and there
Speaker 2: are some places or is it Labor Day, Labor Day
Speaker 2: that some schools are in there's.
Speaker 3: No reason to teach liber Day. Liberty is dumb. It's
Speaker 3: a dumb holiday. I'm grateful for it, but it's a
Speaker 3: dumb heart. Oh. This says two thousand Americans were serving.
Speaker 1: They found forty eight percent of the respondents knew that
Speaker 1: Memorial Day is a holiday honorary military personnel who died
Speaker 1: in the service of the country. Thirty five percent of
Speaker 1: the Panels incorrectly thought Memorial Day was a holiday celebrating
Speaker 1: all military personnel, both living and deceased. Yes, that's fair,
Speaker 1: Okay that I see how you could asterisk that too.
Speaker 1: They didn't know, but it's not like they were like
Speaker 1: is it for chefs? Is is it anybody who makes pictures?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: One in twenty wrongly thought it was a holiday commemorating
Speaker 1: all public servants military or not who lost their lives
Speaker 1: while working.
Speaker 3: Okay, like postal workers too, I mean.
Speaker 2: There was some the landscape guy who fell in the
Speaker 2: the chipper.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: Older generations, by and large were far more likely to
Speaker 1: know the exact definition of Memorial Day when compared to
Speaker 1: younger Americans. Absolutely, that makes one hundred percent sense. Well,
Speaker 1: there's a problem then, because of I don't know World
Speaker 1: War two range. Yeah, our parents never taught us about
Speaker 1: it then, or really their fault, it is their fault.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Twenty seven percent of gen Z respondents selected the correct definition,
Speaker 1: as well as thirty eight percent of millennials. Baby boomers
Speaker 1: were most on top of fifty six percent knowing precisely
Speaker 1: why Memorial Day was observed, but just because you don't
Speaker 1: know exactly what Memorial Day is. It doesn't mean you
Speaker 1: have to work on the unofficial start summer.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: Why do we observe a moral day?
Speaker 1: To honor mi military personnel who died in service to
Speaker 1: their country forty eight percent was the answer. To honor
Speaker 1: all military veterans, both live and deceased thirty five percent,
Speaker 1: to remember all public servants who lost their lives while
Speaker 1: working five percent, and to commemorate the founding fathers and
Speaker 1: their role in American independence three percent, And to honor
Speaker 1: past presidents who served in the.
Speaker 2: Military two percent. That's hilarious. That feels like a really
Speaker 2: dumb survey. I'm trying to figure out, like, how do
Speaker 2: they find these people?
Speaker 1: How do they do the survey? Did they just walk
Speaker 1: up to somebody in home deepot and go, hey, is
Speaker 1: your water filter? You need change at your house?
Speaker 2: Right? Because that happens. That's how they get those fucking
Speaker 2: surveys for like family feud. They hit you up at
Speaker 2: the mall, Hey, would you like to take a survey?
Speaker 2: You know, and they pay you like five dollars for
Speaker 2: like thirty DearS of your time. Yeah, I had some
Speaker 2: friends that did it really five dollars.
Speaker 4: I thought they just did the studio audience.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, uh this one. This was back
Speaker 2: in like ninety nine when my buddies did. We were
Speaker 2: at the fucking mall and they're like, Hey, would you
Speaker 2: like to take a survey? And they're like yeah, They're like,
Speaker 2: we'll pay you for it, and I was like, I'm
Speaker 2: fuck good on that.
Speaker 3: I got other things to do.
Speaker 2: But my buddy Will and I think Chad went in
Speaker 2: there and they had for that particular one, they had
Speaker 2: to watch an M and m's commercial and then give
Speaker 2: their thoughts their feedback on that. But I'm pretty sure
Speaker 2: that's exactly how they get the family few questions as well.
Speaker 1: If I'm doing a survey, I'm definitely gonna say it's
Speaker 1: for the family fusual because your response goes up dramatically.
Speaker 1: I would think this says whatever, whether it was accurate
Speaker 1: or not, it gets answers by hiring a polling company
Speaker 1: called Applied Research West. They call random people and ask
Speaker 1: them questions over the phone. Now maybe they used to
Speaker 1: do it in the all, but the people answering don't
Speaker 1: know if it's the game show. This helps the answers
Speaker 1: keeps the answers honest and avoids people trying to be
Speaker 1: funny on purpose. The show's writers come up with about
Speaker 1: one hundred questions each day. The executive producer picks thirty
Speaker 1: to forty of the best ones. These are sent to
Speaker 1: the polling company, which asked them to hundred people. The
Speaker 1: most common answers from the surveys I used on the show.
Speaker 1: In the early days of the show, they mailed surveys
Speaker 1: to fans who signed up.
Speaker 3: They sent out two.
Speaker 1: Hundred surveys to make sure they got at least one
Speaker 1: hundred back. They also made sure to get responses from
Speaker 1: different parts of the country to avoid regional bias.
Speaker 2: So when they say one hundred people surveyed, they mean it.
Speaker 3: M yeah, sure they do. That's just what they tell you.
Speaker 2: I think all that's fun.
Speaker 3: I'd like to I'd like to go on the family feud.
Speaker 2: I would love it. I actually know a guy who did.
Speaker 2: He was working security at one of the clubs that
Speaker 2: I was working at. And this was like years years,
Speaker 2: years after we stopped working together, and I just saw
Speaker 2: on the Facebook and because he you know, posted pictures
Speaker 2: or whatever, but really couldn't talk about it, you know,
Speaker 2: until he could and then it's like we were on
Speaker 2: family feud blah blah blah. So I tried to talk
Speaker 2: to him a little bit about it, and yeah, he
Speaker 2: said it was neat.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of you know, standing around and waiting,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 2: And who was the host at that time, Steve Harvey.
Speaker 4: It was yeah, he's been on there what a minute.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he might be the longest running one. Yeah, probably
Speaker 2: even the uh oh fuck?
Speaker 3: Who was the original one?
Speaker 4: Yeah, the guy that kissed everybody.
Speaker 3: Mark Mark Ray.
Speaker 2: Ray Ray, keep going, it's not Ray Stevens. No, it's
Speaker 2: not Ray, Charles.
Speaker 3: Ray Ray Ray Ray over Ray Colmes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ray Colmes. He's not the first one. Richard Dawson
Speaker 1: was the first one.
Speaker 2: That Ray Colmes was the short little one that killed himself, right,
Speaker 2: I believe so, yes, And like the early and mid nineties,
Speaker 2: so it goes Richard Dawson, who did it for nine years.
Speaker 2: He was the creepy Philly Yeah, and then he.
Speaker 1: Came back and did it for a year and that's
Speaker 1: when they're like, oh, you're creepy.
Speaker 4: He would always kiss the women.
Speaker 1: Then Ray Combs did it for six years, remember that,
Speaker 1: and he left when Dawson was like I want to
Speaker 1: good old Dick came back. And then Louie Anderson.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was all right, he was an all right.
Speaker 1: That's when they rebooted it after a five year absence.
Speaker 2: Uh. And then Richard karn right right from Orland. Yeah
Speaker 2: if he did it for four years, and he always
Speaker 2: looked high as fun, always looks super big. He was
Speaker 2: my least favorite. They're probably like, I just want to
Speaker 2: shave my beard, like you can't in.
Speaker 3: Right you are?
Speaker 2: Before he goes in, he's like, look better if okay?
Speaker 2: And then John O'Hurley.
Speaker 4: Right, John O'Hurley was on there.
Speaker 3: Did it for four years.
Speaker 4: He was on he did Dancing with the Stars. I
Speaker 4: think I want to say he was a host of
Speaker 4: one of those shows.
Speaker 3: Oh was he He was the white haired guy. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then Steve Harvey's done it for fifteen years.
Speaker 4: He is the best.
Speaker 2: He's credited for boosting the show's ratings and making it
Speaker 2: hit again.
Speaker 3: Yeah for sure. He did it his.
Speaker 2: Own way, Yes for sure, and it is the only
Speaker 2: it is worthy of that show to get say. Jack
Speaker 2: has always kind of done that type of hosting where
Speaker 2: people the responses will get a response out of him. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Barker did it a little bit, and Drew Carry, of course,
Speaker 2: says but Steve Harvey, Yeah, yeah, I don't like Drew
Speaker 2: Carrey as the host.
Speaker 3: Right to be honest with you, Maybe I'm just being
Speaker 3: Barker biased.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I like Drew Carry. I don't know who
Speaker 2: the fuck that guy is that skinny Drew. Skinny Drew
Speaker 2: is not good. Get the microphone, it's dumb, I get it.
Speaker 4: But it's George for Bob. It's part of that show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the price is right icon all the giveaway
Speaker 2: a fucking avocado colored stove, Like, it's what are you
Speaker 2: talking about?
Speaker 3: Keep groping up the fucking beauties man. Yeah, Bob's beauty.
Speaker 3: Bob's beauties man, Yeah, Barker's beauty. Yeah. Times. Then you
Speaker 3: sure it was only happening there.
Speaker 2: I'm sure.
Speaker 1: I was watching in the hotel. I was watching Madmen,
Speaker 1: which I love that show, and it was the episode
Speaker 1: where the guy from Jaguar they're trying to get Jaguars business.
Speaker 1: Those are now shows about advertising in New York City
Speaker 1: in like the fifties, sixties, and they have this woman,
Speaker 1: red hair, big breasted. All the was the front desk
Speaker 1: lady she works through became like a partner of the
Speaker 1: of the agency and the client for Jaguars, like, hey,
Speaker 1: you're only getting this business if I get a date
Speaker 1: with her, and the sales guy's like, like, you know,
Speaker 1: downplaying it. He then goes meets with her and proposes
Speaker 1: this to her, one of those like yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: we're not going to let you do it, are we?
Speaker 3: Yeah, unless you want to. You wouldn't want to want
Speaker 3: to do that?
Speaker 1: Would you help the company get the biggest car client,
Speaker 1: put us on the map as an agency, And she's
Speaker 1: like you She's like, you can't afford me? M like
Speaker 1: she puts like she was very aware of who she was.
Speaker 1: And so then he has a meeting with the other
Speaker 1: partners and is like, how are we going to get
Speaker 1: her to do this?
Speaker 3: That shit happened all the time.
Speaker 2: It probably still God be unhappy. They just don't use
Speaker 2: an employee. No, they go find a working girls and
Speaker 2: fills the street walker and be like, hey, it works.
Speaker 3: Yeah, go get the buzzs.
Speaker 2: I watched that show and I'm like, this show is
Speaker 2: just wildly unbelievable that it was a real thing. I've
Speaker 2: heard good things about it. I've never seen an episode
Speaker 2: in my life.
Speaker 3: I think it's a it's a really great show.
Speaker 2: You go back and watch it still and it hasn't
Speaker 2: dated or aged or anything.
Speaker 3: I like it was already.
Speaker 1: It's a flashback show, like watching The Wonder Years now
Speaker 1: you're watching her like, yeah.
Speaker 4: Is that what John Hamm?
Speaker 3: Yeah, its fantastic.
Speaker 4: He's in a new show on Apple TV, good Friends
Speaker 4: and Neighbors, and it is fantastic. Okay, I've never been
Speaker 4: a John ham fan really but.
Speaker 2: Really yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I just not that I didn't like him, just the things.
Speaker 4: I've never been interested in the things that he's been in.
Speaker 4: But this show is pretty damn good. Where he is
Speaker 4: like this this rich guy who's got a really good
Speaker 4: paying job, Like he's like a not a CPA but
Speaker 4: big time business y guy and a broker or something
Speaker 4: like that. And he ends up, he gets married, does
Speaker 4: works really hard, works his way up in the company,
Speaker 4: buys a bigger house, has the kids, has this great life,
Speaker 4: and then he walks in on his wife banging his
Speaker 4: best friend. So he gets divorced, loses the house, you know,
Speaker 4: she keeps it, and then he loses his job and
Speaker 4: he's got to find a way to keep up with
Speaker 4: his lifestyle after losing his job, so he ends up
Speaker 4: stealing from his friends.
Speaker 3: Sounds like it's the same character he plays in a
Speaker 3: Battle like Everything.
Speaker 2: Because even though I have never seen uh the a
Speaker 2: and Mad mad Man, I've never seen it, I knew
Speaker 2: that's what his character. And he did the same thing
Speaker 2: with with the Landman. He was that exact same character man,
Speaker 2: you know business see rich motherfucker jaw motherfucker.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: He plays an FBI cop in the town with Matt
Speaker 1: Damon Renner. Okay, I'm not mad Dame Ben Affleck Jeremy Renner.
Speaker 2: He's great in that, okay, because he comes off as
Speaker 2: kind of a gruff asshole.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: I was about to see if there was any other
Speaker 2: roles that he's done where he's not some rich you know. Yeah.
Speaker 4: In Maverick he was kind of a gruff.
Speaker 2: Asshole Maverick, like with Mel Gibson.
Speaker 3: No, no, got you got you that? Yeah, the top secret.
Speaker 2: Not Maverick, the old timey card plane bank robbing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: a train robbing, sorry, train robbing, Mel Gibson moving, Yes,
Speaker 2: the greatest Western votertain No, No, I don't even know
Speaker 2: if it ranks in the top ten, it's a turn
Speaker 2: of a movie. My mom loved it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a good back then.
Speaker 2: And if you can, you know, if if you were
Speaker 2: into westerns, like my dad was huge into westerns, so
Speaker 2: of course he liked that. He liked The Gambler with
Speaker 2: Kenny Rodgers, which was a good movie.
Speaker 1: You cannot put The Gambler and Maverick on the same
Speaker 1: playing field, so.
Speaker 3: They're basically the same thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, fucking country, you know, Western playing cards for money.
Speaker 2: I didn't know this, but the mel Gibson was from
Speaker 2: a TV show. They adapted that made the TV show
Speaker 2: into a movie.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, I didn't know that. That's interesting, Yeah, yeah, okay. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So it's a nineteen ninety four Brett Maverick needing money
Speaker 1: for a poker tournament, faces various comic mishaps and challenges.
Speaker 1: Because you know what I love about a good fucking
Speaker 1: Western is the comedy mishappening that happened.
Speaker 2: I go to hang the guy in it, brope breaks
Speaker 2: and everybody laughs about it.
Speaker 1: Jody Foster, mel Gibson, James Garner. Yeah, which gave it
Speaker 1: a ton of credibility. Yeah, no, that is not a
Speaker 1: good movie.
Speaker 2: No, I'll watch it if it's on a Sunday and
Speaker 2: the ain't nothing else on, though, I'll get down on
Speaker 2: some Maverick.
Speaker 3: Why the hell?
Speaker 2: No modern modern country Western movies, Modern Western movies. You've
Speaker 2: got three tender Yuma, true grit. These are just the
Speaker 2: ones that are coming to the top of my head. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna name something broke Back Urban Cowboy. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: not a Western. It's more of a wear cowboy hat bulls,
Speaker 2: but I would hardly put that in the Western category.
Speaker 3: Blazing saddles deafinitely. Hey, boys, look what I hep you
Speaker 3: crazy heart? You've ever seen that one? Dude? You would
Speaker 3: love crazy Heart? You think so? Absolutely, dude.
Speaker 2: Jeff Bridges, he plays a country Western guy on the road.
Speaker 3: He is, he's a cowboy, Yes, actors.
Speaker 4: Eight seconds isn't really a Western, is it?
Speaker 2: I wouldn like Urban Cowboy? No, no, no, no, no. Eight
Speaker 2: seconds is about rodeo people. Urban Cowboy is a relationship movie. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you can almost call it a romance movie with with
Speaker 2: the sub genre of them. He's writing, by the way,
Speaker 2: writing a mechanical bull, not writing bulls right, and he
Speaker 2: he was a lineman for the oil line, wasn't he
Speaker 2: now it worked in enough refinery refined right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah yeah, Dangling Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Nothing cowboy or western about not definitely not Western.
Speaker 3: Maybe cowboy Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, Country for Old Men not a cowboy movie. No,
Speaker 2: it takes place in the in the you know West.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah, Young Guns, yes, totally. Uh.
Speaker 3: The Ballad of Buster scrugs. Yes, that's kind of a
Speaker 3: funny movie.
Speaker 2: Pure Country, ooh, No, that is about George Straight. How
Speaker 2: he's a musician and like this whatever musician like fucks
Speaker 2: up and they're like, we got this other guy who
Speaker 2: looks just like him, and that's where they slide George
Speaker 2: Straight in, and then he ends up being more popular
Speaker 2: than the musician that he was replacing. Pure Country, Crazy Heart,
Speaker 2: eight seconds, Urban Cowboy are cowboy movies like Diehard is
Speaker 2: a Christmas movie. It is just a subplot. It is
Speaker 2: not what it is about.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: True Grit is a damn Western movie. Tombstone, Tombstone, Quickly
Speaker 2: down Under. That's Helen high Water Lone Star, Old Yeller.
Speaker 2: Not a country movie. No, The Rest Place in the Country. No,
Speaker 2: The Revenue is not a cowboy movie. It's about the
Speaker 2: It is about uh, the exploring of the West. It
Speaker 2: takes place during that time. It takes place in the
Speaker 2: old time. But it is not a cowboy movie.
Speaker 3: No, No, it's not.
Speaker 2: They're explorers, they're being paid to explore. And Leo's character
Speaker 2: gets sideways with one of the other characters. That guy
Speaker 2: kills his son and almost kills Leo's character, and Leo goes,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna kill you, and it's about him hunting him
Speaker 2: back about his Western is Django?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 2: What about hate fulate.
Speaker 4: For modern Western.
Speaker 3: Movies, I would consider it.
Speaker 2: That's the one that's got Sam Jackson in it, Walter Goggins, Okay,
Speaker 2: for whatever reason I was thinking of that Seth McFarlane.
Speaker 3: It's got Kurt Russell, Okay.
Speaker 2: Jennifer Jason Lee is amazing in it. She plays Kurt
Speaker 2: Russell's prisoner, right, and she's really crazy. I would consider
Speaker 2: what is it A Thousand Ways to Die in the
Speaker 2: West or ten Thousand Ways to Die in the West.
Speaker 2: It's comedy, but it's still it's Western. This says hate
Speaker 2: fil It is an American Western thriller. Okay, Well that
Speaker 2: tells me it's not a cowboy movie. No, but it
Speaker 2: is a Western it takes place in the West, but
Speaker 2: it is not cowboy esque, right, Yeah. Yeah, they're not
Speaker 2: out hurting case. It's no fucking lonesome dove.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: But like Tombstone is about cowboys, right, young Guns is
Speaker 2: about cowboys and the outlaws in the West. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: it's I guess. So so what are we looking at here?
Speaker 2: Like what they're about or is it the time frame?
Speaker 2: I think the timeframe and what they do it the
Speaker 2: timeframe and where they're at makes a huge difference, right,
Speaker 2: you know, because you could easily do a movie about
Speaker 2: the eighteen forty nine gold Rush. No, that's the West,
Speaker 2: and it is Western times and it was during that time.
Speaker 3: But you see what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So this says whatever this is worth. This says what
Speaker 2: makes a cowboy movie is the main characters are cowboys,
Speaker 2: ranch hands, outlaws or sheriffs. Setting is in a rural
Speaker 2: or frontier, open plains, deserts, or small towns.
Speaker 1: The time period has to be in the late eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 1: Common themes law of verus, chaos, survival, revenge, justice, horses, guns, saloons,
Speaker 1: cattle drives, dusty roads, and horse Right.
Speaker 3: I always gotta have some wres in there.
Speaker 2: This says a cowboy movie is a western movie.
Speaker 1: Okay, there is a little difference. According to some people
Speaker 1: western movie. A western movie includes settler stories, Native American conflicts,
Speaker 1: gold rush tails, modern westerns like No Country.
Speaker 3: For Old Men, no cowboys, but still a western. That's
Speaker 3: not a Western. Yeah it is.
Speaker 2: You read it black and white man. I mean then
Speaker 2: there's a lot of cowboys at a record. Cowboys don't
Speaker 2: wear vests, right vest, Let's say north face on them,
Speaker 2: my course, though.
Speaker 3: Cowboy, dude.
Speaker 2: Country concerts are cosplay to the ten man.
Speaker 3: That is a true statement.
Speaker 1: They're so funny. I love going and you're wearing your
Speaker 1: your fucking snake skin boots and your your vest and
Speaker 1: your get them.
Speaker 2: I am all about country music. I'm all about country concerts.
Speaker 2: This is some of the most fun I've ever had
Speaker 2: is at a country concert. But like my brother, let
Speaker 2: me rephrase that. My brothers as I should say, they'll both.
Speaker 3: Go take it to the fucking nines.
Speaker 2: Man hat, pearl snap shirt, fucking boots, blue jeans. I'm
Speaker 2: dressed for the part, plaid shirt whatever, yeah, not me,
Speaker 2: this this is what I go. I got a T shirt, right,
Speaker 2: have a small closet. I will say this if you
Speaker 2: wear those a lot.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So if like you're going out gear, is that true
Speaker 2: your special night with your old lady?
Speaker 3: Is that okay? Yeah? But when you.
Speaker 2: Of the other time, you only do it at country
Speaker 2: concerts you're costplaying. Yeah, that country look is just not
Speaker 2: for me. I tried it when I was a fresh
Speaker 2: in high school, right, and the boots, the hats, the
Speaker 2: all that. It just like I felt so weird. I'm like,
Speaker 2: this is not Yeah, this is not for me. So
Speaker 2: I put it down and never went back.
Speaker 1: We have a good friend. He is one cowboy, like
Speaker 1: and I don't mean like out on the range.
Speaker 3: He could probably right.
Speaker 1: I've been with him on his land and him dealing
Speaker 1: with cattle and all that other shit. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: wear all the snapshirts you want.
Speaker 3: Man, wear a vest I don't give a shit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I've seen you punch a cow in the face,
Speaker 2: like because it wasn't and check its prostate, Like you
Speaker 2: are a cowboy. But when you get out of your
Speaker 2: Volvo for the show, oh god, yeah, or your dodge
Speaker 2: Ram fifteen hundred, that ain't dirty, right, it's all lifted up.
Speaker 2: You're not a cowboy you're costplaying. Listen, that's what America
Speaker 2: is about. There ain't much difference between you and the
Speaker 2: people that go to wrestling and the people that go
Speaker 2: to Britney spear shows or whatever like furries, furries, juggle lows. Right,
Speaker 2: We're all just trying to fit in with our little
Speaker 2: group and click. And it's fine, Like I ain't hating it.
Speaker 3: Be you live your life.
Speaker 1: But when those people diminish the juggalos, are those people
Speaker 1: diminished the people that go to wrestling, right, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: settle down there, cheeseburger in Paradise. Oh god, I'll never
Speaker 1: forget to being in Oklahoma City, didn't knowing there was
Speaker 1: a Troubadour show.
Speaker 3: Go out to eat with some friends, and I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, it is there glitching the matrix because all these
Speaker 2: motherfuckers look exactly the same. They're not wrong, they all
Speaker 2: they probably all show up at the same store at
Speaker 2: the same time. When you have a cowboy hat to
Speaker 2: wear when you go to cowboy things, I think you're
Speaker 2: dressing up. Yeah, that's my good hat. It's the one
Speaker 2: that doesn't get the mud on it. Listen again, if
Speaker 2: you work out in the art and you wear a
Speaker 2: cowboy hat and that's your thing, really like cowboy hats,
Speaker 2: that's your identity. Yeah, I get it, But when you
Speaker 2: have to get the ladder to get it out for
Speaker 2: when you go to the show, you're dressing up.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: What was my grandpa shut hat and he wore when
Speaker 1: he would go to a Troubadour show. You're lying, right.
Speaker 1: My dad has a Panama Jack hat. He would wear
Speaker 1: it a lot. Guess where it's at.
Speaker 3: In the attic.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say landfill, but because I don't wear
Speaker 1: Panama Jack hats, it's one of the few things I
Speaker 1: have kept giving to me for my dad. And I'm like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I got a ring from him that I they had
Speaker 1: to cut off of him, which is weird in itself.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I got it repaired and put back together and cleaned up.
Speaker 1: Didn't know it was a silver ring. It was a
Speaker 1: different color when I got it. I had turquoise in it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's different. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I'm totally thinking that you should break that hat down
Speaker 2: wear sometime.
Speaker 3: I feel like there's somewhere out.
Speaker 2: Of when we are in Panama, I will absolutely do that,
Speaker 2: right or I changed my name to Jack. What if
Speaker 2: we just say, like, for a morning we play nothing
Speaker 2: but Panama. Oh yes, for you and your Panama jacket,
Speaker 2: just you can wear it.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Probably I understand I'm not much of
Speaker 1: a hat guy, and if I am, I'm a backwards at. Yeah,
Speaker 1: occasionally affords at, but most of the time just backwards.
Speaker 3: I went through my Fedora phase you, Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: I had fucking this big white grim motherfucker man, and.
Speaker 3: Uh it was.
Speaker 2: It was fut of it, right, and I still have
Speaker 2: it in my closet and uh oh yeah, because that's
Speaker 2: when I first started working for Ford right, and I
Speaker 2: was like, I need to be fancy for this fucking job.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm leaving Tom, I got me an adult job,
Speaker 3: an adult job.
Speaker 2: So I went full on Dick Tracy with this mother,
Speaker 2: I'm here for the scope, fucking my button down shirt
Speaker 2: and my tie and my fucking raincoat, right and my
Speaker 2: fucking foot door.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. And that was great.
Speaker 2: And I was like after a while, I was like this,
Speaker 2: this one's too big.
Speaker 3: I need to shrink my Fedora down a little bit.
Speaker 2: So I went and got another one, a pinstriped one
Speaker 2: to match my pin striped suit.
Speaker 3: Nice damn man. Zoot suit, right, I get it by but.
Speaker 2: It wasn't quite like that because this is all tailored
Speaker 2: custom right. It wasn't quite like the zoot suit where
Speaker 2: you had pretty much just pinstriped pants that looked like
Speaker 2: mc hammer pants, you know, and fucking chain. I love
Speaker 2: that you're defending, but keep going fucking giant ass, fucking
Speaker 2: jacket just you know, dragged the floor behind you.
Speaker 4: Do you still have the suit?
Speaker 3: I do. It's the only suit that I have.
Speaker 1: And did you need like, did you interact with customers
Speaker 1: where you.
Speaker 3: Needed to wear a suit? No?
Speaker 2: I was just not working at Target anymore and felt
Speaker 2: like I'm in an office now, I should dress like
Speaker 2: office people dress.
Speaker 3: And because it.
Speaker 2: Was you know, it was it wasn't a casual environment
Speaker 2: business casual. I guess they could say, but khakis, Yeah,
Speaker 2: pull up like Jake from State Farm. Yeah, Jake from
Speaker 2: State Farm exactly. But I didn't.
Speaker 3: I'll do that on Fridays, you know, maybe.
Speaker 2: But No, I was like, I should dress like office people, Lou,
Speaker 2: I'm at a I'm at a dealership.
Speaker 3: I should dress like everybody else.
Speaker 1: I do this thing, and Alias stop bringing me up
Speaker 1: into her office because she'll introduce me to somebody, and
Speaker 1: then they all kind of wear the same thing, and
Speaker 1: I'll just call everybody that first name that I meet.
Speaker 3: She's like, you.
Speaker 2: Gotta stop doing I'm like, what I didn't know? It
Speaker 2: looks exactly the same.
Speaker 3: This is Jin She's been here twenty five years. Oh Joe,
Speaker 3: pleased to meet you.
Speaker 2: Right well, they're all wearing khakis, vesta from say, yeah
Speaker 2: Jake from State Farm, and you're like, hey Jake.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're great people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, but they've they've got an image they
Speaker 2: got uphold.
Speaker 3: I'm glad I'm out of that shit.
Speaker 1: I I'm some radio people, which Lindsey will attest to.
Speaker 3: Think that you have to dress up really to work
Speaker 3: in radio.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't see us though. I mean, well, it
Speaker 2: isn't about the radio fans. It's about the business conducted
Speaker 2: in the walls. That's what they kept telling me when
Speaker 2: I was working and you know, selling parts and stuff.
Speaker 1: Did they ever say this one, Hey, you dressed for
Speaker 1: the job you want, not the job you had. I've
Speaker 1: heard that before, but I go at a giant bunch
Speaker 1: of bullshit.
Speaker 3: By the way, I've learned.
Speaker 2: Some things having the fifteen million jobs that I have
Speaker 2: I wore. I used to do customer service for Avis
Speaker 2: Rental car right here in town, and I was going
Speaker 2: through the training.
Speaker 3: And I was like fucking like.
Speaker 2: Twenty a half this time, right before I even had kids,
Speaker 2: and I wore slip notch that said people equal shit.
Speaker 2: That's the name of their song, right. The fucking trainer
Speaker 2: did not like that at all. What well, I mean,
Speaker 2: that does feel like a little bit of bridge too far.
Speaker 2: They said I could wear whatever I wanted, so I
Speaker 2: wore Yeah, I think there's an implication there that would
Speaker 2: be appropriate for a business set. I learn my lesson
Speaker 2: that day that you cannot wear that shirt to work,
Speaker 2: so I never wore it ever again.
Speaker 1: I have been in part of many meetings about hiring
Speaker 1: people and firing people. I have plenty of friends who
Speaker 1: have hired and fired people, and nobody has ever said
Speaker 1: the words, but have you seen how they dress? Right,
Speaker 1: he's dresser, he's a snappy He's not a snappy dresser.
Speaker 3: That's never been said.
Speaker 2: It was always about performance every single time, Even in
Speaker 2: the time where they're like we got to fire five
Speaker 2: people to meet quota, who do we want to pick,
Speaker 2: It's never been like, yeah, but Kim, you wore a
Speaker 2: slipknot shirt. That's never been said, right, never never never never. Well,
Speaker 2: they didn't, they did. They had it out for me
Speaker 2: in the beginning anyway. Sure, yeah did the world and
Speaker 2: you man, absolutely that place was all right to work at.
Speaker 2: They had a certain smoke hall, right, this is what
Speaker 2: your designated spot where you go to smoke.
Speaker 3: And we're like, okay, that's fantastic.
Speaker 2: The fucking walls and the ceilings were like think of
Speaker 2: the worst colored earwax you've ever pulled out of your ear,
Speaker 2: and how orange and dark and red and black.
Speaker 3: That's how the walls were in that place. I was like,
Speaker 3: I can't, I can't hang out here. I gotta go outside,
Speaker 3: get some fresh air to smoke.
Speaker 1: Right, as a smoker, the smoke hall is too much,
Speaker 1: too bad. Yeah, doing inbound calls is brutal. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I did that right out of college, or went one
Speaker 1: summer in between and did the training. It was not
Speaker 1: hard work, no, uh, And I was good through it.
Speaker 1: Did the training, did one week on the floor and
Speaker 1: they're like, hey, we want to move you to another
Speaker 1: a I'm like, ah, I think.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna quit. Yeah, because it's sucks.
Speaker 2: I'd rather do inbound calls than out bound. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: because I've done those four bothering people at five, six
Speaker 2: o'clock in the evening, interrupting their dinner.
Speaker 3: Would you like to get your carpets cleaned? Sure?
Speaker 1: If you could go back to younger you about looking
Speaker 1: for a job. Obviously, I've made no mistakes, no regrets,
Speaker 1: know that, bay for sure. Given advice, What would you
Speaker 1: say to your younger self about job hunting, because you
Speaker 1: wouldn't go for those jobs again, right, not.
Speaker 3: Now unless I absolutely had to.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, But you're going back to your younger self
Speaker 2: back then, trying to get your feet out from under you,
Speaker 2: you know, get some standing room.
Speaker 3: I probably would.
Speaker 2: I probably would tell them go out there and do
Speaker 2: those jobs, because that's how you learn some things in
Speaker 2: those jobs. Sure, you learn what you can and cannot do,
Speaker 2: or can and won't do. I won't ever do fucking
Speaker 2: outbound sales anymore at all, waysoever, or sales in general.
Speaker 2: For that fact, I hate sales. It is the worst.
Speaker 2: It's never fucking good enough, and it's just tear. It
Speaker 2: was so much stress for nothing, for a fucking nine
Speaker 2: to five job. Yeah, so I would go back and
Speaker 2: tell myself, or I would go back and I would
Speaker 2: still do that, because that's how you learn some things. Sure,
Speaker 2: you know, you learn that you can't wear a people
Speaker 2: equal shit shirt to a customer service job. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: that saved my ass because I probably would have still
Speaker 2: worn that same.
Speaker 3: Shirt to a different job. Learn there were boundaries with clothes. Okay, yes,
Speaker 3: so I would go Sure, I think you would have been.
Speaker 3: I don't know why you didn't go down.
Speaker 1: A path in your life as a bar tender, because
Speaker 1: you are perfect for that role.
Speaker 3: Yeah, your social game, all that stuff. Yeah, it's just
Speaker 3: that that was Maybe.
Speaker 2: If I would have like shown a little bit in
Speaker 2: I like making the drinks for the friends at the
Speaker 2: parties or whatever, that's where it ended. I was always
Speaker 2: the music guy anytime that we had a party, Gimpy
Speaker 2: your DJ. Okay, anytime, no matter where I'm at or
Speaker 2: whose party was at, it's always gimpy your DJ.
Speaker 3: Because I love music. And so maybe that's why.
Speaker 2: Maybe if I made really good cocktails and didn't show
Speaker 2: as much interest in the music, people like, all right,
Speaker 2: you're bartending this party or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, because bartending you can make ridiculous amounts of
Speaker 1: money more than you came back. I had a friend
Speaker 1: that paid for a house with cash, yeah at twenty five,
Speaker 1: and bartended from twenty one for four years.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I know people that that is their life, that's
Speaker 3: what they do, that's all they've ever done.
Speaker 2: You know, they started bartending when they're twenty one, and
Speaker 2: they still aren't, you know for some of them, and
Speaker 2: they just can't get out of that rut. But other
Speaker 2: ones that's what they truly love doing. And you can
Speaker 2: make good money though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think if I went back, I would probably like, hey,
Speaker 1: find a job you can build off of and always
Speaker 1: lean back to. Okay, so like uh, mechanic electrician.
Speaker 2: A trade of some sort, some sort of trade you.
Speaker 1: Can always lean back on or use as an extra
Speaker 1: financial absolutely pick up not not.
Speaker 3: You know the token boy at Chuck E Cheese.
Speaker 1: Oh to can you know what I mean? Like right,
Speaker 1: and I'm with you, like I learned things in that job.
Speaker 1: But I'd be like, hey, maybe think about finding jobs
Speaker 1: that could be a career.
Speaker 2: Right right, not filler, yeah, because I didn't think about
Speaker 2: career life until I was mid twenties, right, Like all right,
Speaker 2: well I got to figure out what the fuck I'm
Speaker 2: gonna do with my life because I am tired of
Speaker 2: being in trouble all the time, tired Da da da
Speaker 2: da da da dad, and I need to do something.
Speaker 3: I tried to convince my niece.
Speaker 2: I was like, go work at Starbucks while you're in college,
Speaker 2: because that can carry you after college if you can't
Speaker 2: find a job or whatever.
Speaker 3: They have good benefits.
Speaker 2: They feed you food throughout, like you get meals to like,
Speaker 2: there are some great reasons to work there that even
Speaker 2: if it doesn't work out, you can be a district manager.
Speaker 2: Quick trip is another one. Yeah, Like get a job
Speaker 2: where there's a there's a lean back, right rather than
Speaker 2: I got out of college, didn't get a job in
Speaker 2: radio right away and waited tables, which sucked. And then
Speaker 2: I worked in a financial field as a as a
Speaker 2: mutual fund representative, helping manage people's portfolios.
Speaker 3: And I was like, this sucks.
Speaker 2: People do this every day. Quit that went back to
Speaker 2: waiting tables. You just sit there and look at the clock. Yes,
Speaker 2: she's like, fuck it's only nine ten. Yes, fuck it's
Speaker 2: only nine eleven.
Speaker 3: They didn't even fucking lunch yet, mother.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you go and you find it. You know, eating
Speaker 2: your cubicle. Oh god, I'm so sorry. If you do this,
Speaker 2: that sucks.
Speaker 3: We're describing a lot of motherfuckers. That's not easy.
Speaker 2: But if it works, it works. I know they're not
Speaker 2: happy because I've been there. I've been stuck in cubicle land.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sucks.
Speaker 2: You know, you make I made friends with the three
Speaker 2: other motherfuckers around me, you know.
Speaker 3: But if you were on.
Speaker 2: The far end of the office, of the sales floor, off,
Speaker 2: I can never talk to you unless they go to
Speaker 2: the math room. Right, that's it, right, you said, Uh,
Speaker 2: it works. I would argue you get used to it.
Speaker 3: You're probably right. You're probably right.
Speaker 4: Bless you.
Speaker 1: You get used to it. You get used to the
Speaker 1: routine of it. Again, nothing wrong with these jobs at all.
Speaker 2: If you think about it, though, every job we'll wear
Speaker 2: you down.
Speaker 1: I've said it before. What's differesting being a dog walker
Speaker 1: in any other job? As a dog walker, I put.
Speaker 2: It in my hand, right the other ones you just.
Speaker 3: Deal with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you deal with it in every job, no
Speaker 2: matter what it is. Speaking of dog turns in your hand.
Speaker 2: Oh god, we're gonna pivot real quick because we're at
Speaker 2: the fucking park.
Speaker 3: We're at Niehus. You mentioned it earlier on the show.
Speaker 2: Nice little park over here and Broken Arrow and they
Speaker 2: got a nice little disc off course over there, So
Speaker 2: me and my buddy Josh and my brother would go
Speaker 2: over there to play.
Speaker 3: And we were like.
Speaker 2: There's all these multi colored things down the middle of
Speaker 2: the fucking field. I'm like, what is this a bunch
Speaker 2: of condoms? Nah, they're too big to be condoms. They
Speaker 2: look more like rubber gloves. So we get up to
Speaker 2: where the tea pat is where all this multi colored.
Speaker 3: What the fuck is going on?
Speaker 2: You look a little bit closer, somebody had scattered like
Speaker 2: emptied out the fucking shit can and then just scattered
Speaker 2: random bags dog shit all over the park.
Speaker 3: Craziest thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: And I was like, that's the craziest thing you've ever
Speaker 2: seen in that particular park. I've gone the floor and
Speaker 2: like you'll find random shoes in somebody's panties and an
Speaker 2: old condoms or something. But that's a nice, decent park.
Speaker 2: I'm like, we're one.
Speaker 3: Because there was a.
Speaker 2: Trash can blowed over. I was like, well, maybe maybe
Speaker 2: a blue out of here an eighty mile an hour
Speaker 2: when knocked over the trash can and all the shit
Speaker 2: just happened to land two hundred feet away from it.
Speaker 3: No, I can't believe that.
Speaker 2: Probably some kid that wears a People Equal Shit shirt
Speaker 2: my motherfucking teenager rebellion. I'm just saying a younger version
Speaker 2: of GIMPI would understand the artwork that had been presented.
Speaker 3: True, it's true in the field. Respect that so gross.
