Speaker 3: like to do. But there was like a ten on
Speaker 3: a ten moment where you like have your coffee and
Speaker 3: you're like sitting on a deck like looking out at

Speaker 3: Put Bay is an island near a town for people
Speaker 3: don't know, uh uh, and it's just so expensive there.
Speaker 3: So I was just like everything's gonna be really expensive.

Speaker 2: lot of the books and he does a lot of
Speaker 2: the narration for them on some of their movies. So
Speaker 2: he's always been the small town monsters stuff. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it'll be cool. It lots of fun and then well
Speaker 2: what the good You know, Matt's reaction is he's not
Speaker 2: necessarily a believer. He's he's more on the fence with everything,
Speaker 2: and it'll be interesting to see his opinion on things,
Speaker 2: and you know, after he gets you know, drops some
Speaker 2: knowledge on him, and you.
Speaker 3: Know, we'll see what's up, drop some knowledge out.
Speaker 2: Listen, you gotta talk to this guy.

Speaker 2: Saw the weather, the weather is supposed to be real
Speaker 2: nice too, so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think we've been there when it has.
Speaker 3: It hasn't ever been like bad. It's always been like
Speaker 3: at least decent, So uh yeah, I'm hoping that trend continues.
Speaker 3: I think it was a little rainy last year, but
Speaker 3: like never.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: It was always like it happened like the day and
Speaker 3: it was like we were already inside it already anyway,
Speaker 3: so it never mattered. So hopefuy, we'll get to music
Speaker 3: a couple of people and then maybe we'll have a
Speaker 3: little more cloud this year to maybe interfere with some
Speaker 3: more like, uh, maybe we go with the dinner. Isn't
Speaker 3: there like a whole thing with the dinner. I feel
Speaker 3: like we were like, let's not going to dinner because.
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, there's a dinner Friday night. That's that
Speaker 2: you had you buy a ticket for. But we didn't
Speaker 2: get that because we are still debating about it, and
Speaker 2: we still are whether or not we're going to try
Speaker 2: to do the podcast from there or if Yeah, it'd
Speaker 2: be nice to do it live from there, but we're
Speaker 2: not really sure about the internet connection and things like
Speaker 2: that because we're in the middle of nowhere. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't want to be like live and five. You're like sorry, guys,
Speaker 2: like the internet sucks.
Speaker 3: We'll catch you next week.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know how.
Speaker 3: I don't know what it would be like, like trying
Speaker 3: to upload like a a podcast like last minute, like
Speaker 3: that would be yeah, because it already takes a while
Speaker 3: from my internet like to upload the podcast.
Speaker 2: I can't imagine it would be. It would be better
Speaker 2: out there. I'd be like running. I guess everybody else,
Speaker 2: we'll find out if it worked or not. If if
Speaker 2: we're live next week, you'll know it works.
Speaker 3: If we're live next week, it all worked out.
Speaker 2: If we're If we're not live.
Speaker 3: Next week on YouTube, you know that. You know that
Speaker 3: we were like, I don't know that was working. Yeah,
Speaker 3: if there's no show, you know, everything fell apart.
Speaker 2: And then we'll do a recap the following week. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think it'll be it'd be fun to try to
Speaker 2: try to go live there. Maybe you can pull on
Speaker 2: a couple of guests or something. Yeah, everybody would be
Speaker 2: coming in, you know, around dinner time on Friday.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm. Yeah, and we can get like a we
Speaker 3: can get like a rolling mic where people just like
Speaker 3: come in six hours.

Speaker 3: excited to see our friends. April and uh, her wife
Speaker 3: is always fun running to her. We just like vibe
Speaker 3: so well, she's just super super cool and you know,
Speaker 3: ever since we first met them, we were just like, well,
Speaker 3: you know, I don't know what to do. I was
Speaker 3: also on one that night, just like straight up just
Speaker 3: like ripping bangers for like an hour. She's like, I
Speaker 3: haven't spoken at all, Like you just like are like
Speaker 3: killing me right now.
Speaker 2: Like then You're like, well, I can carry on a
Speaker 2: conversation with myself listen, I just need an audience.
Speaker 3: The fact that you're here is neither here nor there. Yeah,
Speaker 3: like just like just in conversation rip mode. Like I
Speaker 3: alwould say, like the end of this podcast, I'm like,
Speaker 3: I feel like it just got I'm just getting started.
Speaker 3: Like I really this thing's really kind of popping off now.
Speaker 3: But we've like shows after this and stuff that I
Speaker 3: do want to interfere with. The one thing I did
Speaker 3: tell people about my kids about. So we're driving through
Speaker 3: Mexico or you know, Casamel, which is still Mexico, I guess.
Speaker 3: But we're driving through the island getting to the Mayan
Speaker 3: ruins and at the excursion and just like the places
Speaker 3: just hit I mean like for you know, either from
Speaker 3: hurricanes or just extreme pobvery and all that stuff. But
Speaker 3: I just like looked over I just like I just
Speaker 3: want you guys know that, like do you see this.
Speaker 3: I was like, you know, when I say be appreciative
Speaker 3: of the things that you have, I was just like,
Speaker 3: these kids don't have switches.
Speaker 2: You know, there's no Nintendos here.
Speaker 3: This is you know, like this is like a different
Speaker 3: world and you need to know that when you say like, oh,
Speaker 3: something's bad, you know, like that's like just something I
Speaker 3: kind of like kept thinking about. I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: you know, because I mean there's just like a building
Speaker 3: that looks like a bombshell bomb hit it, and they're
Speaker 3: just like hanging clothes there. You know, it's like somebody
Speaker 3: obviously lives there. And that was like a lot of
Speaker 3: the place. Actually, the restaurant we went to, uh, it
Speaker 3: looked just like completely dilapidated. I was like, where, surely
Speaker 3: where we're going? Where are we going? Cause it just
Speaker 3: looked like a junk yard. And we walk inside and
Speaker 3: it's like nice, you know, You're like, oh, it's.
Speaker 2: It's like a big hut. You know, it looks like cool.
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, this is like really really
Speaker 3: nice inside. I was you would have from the road,
Speaker 3: I would have never thought that this was the inside
Speaker 3: looked like. So it has that whole like I don't know,
Speaker 3: doctor who's setting. We were like, You're like, wow, it's
Speaker 3: expansive and amazing. It's always interesting when you travel to
Speaker 3: places like that.
Speaker 2: You know, it really gives your perspective on how differently
Speaker 2: we live than than they do. And you know, the
Speaker 2: things were like, we can't live without this. So then
Speaker 2: you see these people and it's like, well, look at them.
Speaker 2: They literally are doing that every day and every single day.
Speaker 2: And you know, here we're, you know, complaining about stupid stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like oh my gosh, gotta get a haircut today,
Speaker 3: and after that, I gotta gotta go to the pharmacy.
Speaker 2: And then oh man, something little.
Speaker 3: You know, my phone stopped working for five seconds, just
Speaker 3: like this guy's just like looking at the roof that
Speaker 3: is not there, and he's like, well that sounds sounds
Speaker 3: like caving a bad day. Yeah, ah, those first world problems.
Speaker 2: You have to remember that.
Speaker 3: You have to always kind of remind yourself that first
Speaker 3: world problems are like sincerely like not an issue. Whatever
Speaker 3: you're worried about, there is somebody. And obviously, like everybody
Speaker 3: lives in their own little like world of like their trauma,
Speaker 3: and they're like, you know, like what you go through
Speaker 3: is all you know and nless you you know, like
Speaker 3: like your wife, who's who's a social worker who literally
Speaker 3: has seen the worst of it. You know, you know,
Speaker 3: to you have to kind of remind yourself of that.
Speaker 3: But like you know, people like me and you, we
Speaker 3: don't see that kind of aggressive trauma every day. You know,
Speaker 3: you see it more than I do because you're you're
Speaker 3: insurance and stuff. So, uh, it's just one of those
Speaker 3: things where you have to kind of like remind yourself like,
Speaker 3: oh yeah, things can be bad.
Speaker 2: It's like when we think as bad as not bad.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: A little shout out to money Mic, what's going on
Speaker 3: in the comments? Yeah, but uh yeah, I don't know
Speaker 3: it's so all that say. Uh, I did go to
Speaker 3: the mine rooms this weekend and we had talked about
Speaker 3: maybe talking about the my mane culture and you know,
Speaker 3: maybe the things that are surrounded on.
Speaker 2: It, upon it and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: I like to lead into this by saying, uh, mine
Speaker 3: culture is very very cool.
Speaker 2: Uh uh.
Speaker 3: In no disrespect do I have for any of the
Speaker 3: things that we will kind of theorize them this. So
Speaker 3: I do think there's a lot of things that we
Speaker 3: are capable of human beings. So we're just going on
Speaker 3: a little thought experiment and ideas that are kind of
Speaker 3: being thrown around the mind. Lone culture was just absolutely amazing,
Speaker 3: and it's just completely decimated. It doesn't really exist anymore
Speaker 3: except through like stories and you know, like even the
Speaker 3: guy who was our tour guide, he was a he
Speaker 3: was an ancestor of the Mayans, and he was just
Speaker 3: talking about that and just kind of being like, you know,
Speaker 3: my grandma knew that language, and she like, I know
Speaker 3: it sort of, but like it's gonna die soon because
Speaker 3: like the youth aren't really you know, trying to keep
Speaker 3: that culture as much as like the culture before that,
Speaker 3: And you know, there's always gonna be somebody who maybe
Speaker 3: we'll just keep you know, pass the torch and keep
Speaker 3: that kind of sacred and hopefully we have enough you know,
Speaker 3: educational retention where people can go like, oh, I've actually
Speaker 3: cataloged a lot of this we still have that information,
Speaker 3: but it'd be really sad to see that go, regardless
Speaker 3: about statements and.
Speaker 2: And stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Sou And Actually the one guy said on the trip,
Speaker 3: it was really sad because the place we went to
Speaker 3: it was ruined, so like there wasn't a lot of
Speaker 3: structures that were like fully there anymore, but the ones
Speaker 3: that were there were dynamited out because they were like
Speaker 3: trying to find gold. They were just like, there's obviously
Speaker 3: gold under here, so like why would they build these
Speaker 3: big structures if there wasn't a treasure so they would
Speaker 3: dynamite him and nothing, Just like, oh my gosh, you
Speaker 3: just like wrecked all this history just to find some money.
Speaker 2: Like oh so gross. Yeah, were you seeing oh good?
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, were you exclusively on Cosameo or
Speaker 2: did you go to the mainland or I wish.
Speaker 3: I would have went to the mainland because it was
Speaker 3: really the guy who was giving the tour was it
Speaker 3: was really interesting on some cute dogs. There was two
Speaker 3: dogs there. There were the laziest dogs I've ever seen
Speaker 3: in my life, and I was just like, originally like
Speaker 3: I was like, is that dog dead? Because he was
Speaker 3: just sleeping so lovingly, and I was just like, that
Speaker 3: dog has surely died of heat stroke. And like I
Speaker 3: looked at his breath and then he was it was
Speaker 3: raising and lowering, and I.
Speaker 2: Was like, Okay, he's just super chill.
Speaker 3: I just I'm used to a dog that like isn't
Speaker 3: reacting to people like that much because they're just there's
Speaker 3: no collars, you know, they're just kind of they can wander.
Speaker 3: I don't know if they were strays or there's kind
Speaker 3: of like pets to the to the thing whatever.
Speaker 2: There was actually two people.
Speaker 3: That were in our in our group, and they were
Speaker 3: looking over and there was like, is is that is
Speaker 3: this is that someone's dog? Should we should we talk
Speaker 3: to somebody? Should well? And I had to be like, hey, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: they're they're straight dogs. They're they're allowed to be here.
Speaker 3: They know they're here, They're allowed to wander. It's fine,
Speaker 3: like but they didn't have a concept of like dogs
Speaker 3: like that that just kind of yeah, they're literally like
Speaker 3: sleeping on the steps, you know, like just just that
Speaker 3: entire space is there there there home, so uh, but
Speaker 3: it was really funny just the way they're like, you know,
Speaker 3: we which I'm very sad that I didn't get the
Speaker 3: coke from there, apparently not coke, coca cola, because apparently
Speaker 3: it tastes different and I didn't know that, and we
Speaker 3: were just so dehydrated it was so hot that day.
Speaker 3: And then I we just kind of did our trip.
Speaker 3: We gatorades and left and then the one guy was
Speaker 3: one guy was like, oh, you didn't get the coca cola.
Speaker 2: I'm like no.
Speaker 3: He was like, Oh, it's so good there because they
Speaker 3: make it with like the real like stuff. It's not
Speaker 3: like sugar is like an American.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my gosh. I was like, I'm so sad.
Speaker 2: So we just had an opportunity there.
Speaker 3: So it's just like just like you can get kit
Speaker 3: Cat bars in Canada and they taste different. We could
Speaker 3: have done like Mexico, but we lost an opportunity. But
Speaker 3: we did get some what was it some chocolate? Uh, tequila?
Speaker 2: Like what was it? Espresso tequila? I guess.
Speaker 3: And that guy was the best salesman, just a big
Speaker 3: burly man who's just like yes, He's like, this is
Speaker 3: the agave plant and do whatever, and he would like
Speaker 3: do the taste test. Just the kind of guy that
Speaker 3: you would want selling you something that like makes you hungry.
Speaker 3: He's just like, here, I made you just spaghetti and.
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, yes, thank you.
Speaker 3: You know, like it was a hardy man. And I
Speaker 3: remember he was given the sample shots out of my
Speaker 3: son's next to me and he's just like, you cannot
Speaker 3: have this. Do you have mustachio And he's like, grow
Speaker 3: the sime, she will come back whatever.
Speaker 2: So it was really cute, just like the way they
Speaker 2: kind of sell that it was. It was. It was
Speaker 2: very cool.
Speaker 3: But we did like five shots of tequila. I was
Speaker 3: just like and then they said it snorkeling. I was like, great,
Speaker 3: five shots of tequila going to the ocean, perfect perfect
Speaker 3: activity to follow that. But yeah, it was. It was fantastic.
Speaker 3: You know, tequila is aggressive if you have it here,
Speaker 3: and that stuff was only smooth and amazing.
Speaker 2: I mean for four hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: Which when you see pesos, they only do everything in
Speaker 3: pesos on the receipts, and you see like seventy thousand
Speaker 3: pesos on.
Speaker 2: The receipt you're like, oh my god. Then you're like.
Speaker 3: The transfer gotta because the bottel we got was like
Speaker 3: seventy dollars and it said like just like six thousand
Speaker 3: pesos and.
Speaker 2: I was just like, we go on but it worked out.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't know, fun times all around had
Speaker 3: We had a good time. So all I have to
Speaker 3: say I did you know, Like I said, we want
Speaker 3: to talk a.
Speaker 2: Little bit about the mines today.
Speaker 3: You know, we play this before the trip, so be
Speaker 3: fresh in our mind, fresh in my mind about what
Speaker 3: I just visited. Have you ever visited, by the way,
Speaker 3: any of those.
Speaker 2: I No, I've been down to Mexico and we were
Speaker 2: in one of the other islands off of Cosmo, kind
Speaker 2: of between Cosmo and Cancu, and it was like a
Speaker 2: Plia the Farment or something. We were at one of
Speaker 2: our cruises that we went on. But that's the only
Speaker 2: time I've been been in Mexico.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the big thing that I got for at
Speaker 3: least when the tour was it was really cool. But
Speaker 3: it's very mathematical, like the whole thing. You know, obviously
Speaker 3: we've all heard about the mind calendar and stuff like that,
Speaker 3: but even without that, like the way they kind of
Speaker 3: did their structures has like a like everything has like
Speaker 3: a meaning to it, even just from the steps alone
Speaker 3: are Our guide was telling us about the the steps
Speaker 3: that go up like you can't go out them like
Speaker 3: regular steps. You would have to go up them because
Speaker 3: they're kind of positioned like ramps like like like this,
Speaker 3: so you actually walk them like this, and then when
Speaker 3: you leave, you walk them the same way. So at
Speaker 3: no point are you is your back facing the uh
Speaker 3: the would be the tribesmen or the not what is
Speaker 3: what's the shaman? So at no point would that would
Speaker 3: your back be facing that them? And uh, it's also
Speaker 3: like a serpent and that was like a big part
Speaker 3: of their uh, their whole thing. And but it was
Speaker 3: like the moon and the sun, and it seemed.
Speaker 2: Like the moon was like a bigger entity.
Speaker 3: To them than the sun was really uh as far
Speaker 3: as like the way he was explaining it and things
Speaker 3: just like the the fertility and stuff like that, it
Speaker 3: was a lot of it was like fertility based and
Speaker 3: he was just like, we.
Speaker 2: Don't do sacrifices.
Speaker 3: That wasn't a thing.
Speaker 2: He's like, well, we did do a lot.
Speaker 3: Of There was a lot of like, uh was it
Speaker 3: He's like celebration of life and death and uh, he
Speaker 3: was just like the death, the marriage, you know, stuff
Speaker 3: like that. I don't know, it's a lot of jokes,
Speaker 3: but it was really cool and just like it's so
Speaker 3: funny to hear like them talk about how there was
Speaker 3: just a place that someone owned like a long time ago,
Speaker 3: like and like before they became like a tourist attraction,
Speaker 3: it was just like a ranch.
Speaker 2: And then the guy whould like dug him up and
Speaker 2: he was.
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, this is just cool rocks that are on
Speaker 3: my in my place and he just like is on
Speaker 3: a tourist attraction now it'd be like the Great Wall
Speaker 3: of China and she's like, yeah, that's just my this
Speaker 3: is just my fence.
Speaker 2: Oh wow. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So they ended up selling it to back to the
Speaker 3: Mexican government and then you know, they took it over
Speaker 3: and now they take care of it, and there was
Speaker 3: like an irony between like the Mexicans and Mexican government
Speaker 3: came in and kind of decimated the place with all
Speaker 3: the stuff they did, and now they're like the exclusive
Speaker 3: like protectors of it. Obviously for specifically where we went,
Speaker 3: it's the only like that's certainly export is tourism. Like
Speaker 3: they are an island, so they don't have they have
Speaker 3: no growing soil, so they they there's just nothing to
Speaker 3: make everything to make is kind of brought in. So,
Speaker 3: like he was just talking, he was like, you guys
Speaker 3: are He didn't say the product, but like he's like,
Speaker 3: you're the product that we count on. He's like, we've
Speaker 3: seen if you've seen tobody driving around with like guns
Speaker 3: and stuff, that's for you guys, not for us. Yeah,
Speaker 3: to make sure you guys are safe. So he's like,
Speaker 3: you'll be safe anywhere you go. I'm like, all right,
Speaker 3: I believe you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah it.
Speaker 2: Did. The Buyans used to travel there in it was
Speaker 2: like a holy place for fertility and things like that. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so pretty much. It was like almost like a
Speaker 3: it's like a rite of passage for any female to
Speaker 3: go there and we h, I think you like give
Speaker 3: it offerings and it brought it back to you. So
Speaker 3: like that was the main kind of it seemed like
Speaker 3: the source of I mean, we don't really know right
Speaker 3: like like what they really really like the big temples,
Speaker 3: but they do know that they faced like directly to
Speaker 3: the stars, like specific stars back then if you kind of.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the sky moves, but if you.
Speaker 3: Like astrology or whatever, we'll like line that up and
Speaker 3: see exactly what hit that, so you know which then
Speaker 3: leads to why a lot of people think that these
Speaker 3: things are more than you know, just like we talked
Speaker 3: about the Pyramids a couple of weeks ago, like that,
Speaker 3: you know, for millions of years, we thought that these
Speaker 3: things had a specific you know thing about them, and
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden we find out there's like
Speaker 3: huge pillars underneath them.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: That's like a like, well, these aren't just this, what
Speaker 3: are they?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 3: We and like I said, like this stuff is kind
Speaker 3: of lost to history, so I don't really know like
Speaker 3: specifically what they were for. We can make a lot
Speaker 3: of educated guesses and talk to a lot of people
Speaker 3: like from that time, you know, like, uh, what is it?
Speaker 3: Stories throughout history, we have a lot of their like
Speaker 3: old art that we kind of dug through, you know,
Speaker 3: their old stone carvings and kind of what is it reverse.
Speaker 2: Engineering their their language?
Speaker 3: I mean like, oh, this meant this, This meant this.
Speaker 2: Because they had it, because they had the hieroglyphics the minds,
Speaker 2: didn't they That's what thought. Yeah, And I mean when
Speaker 2: my own culture was at its peak was the exact
Speaker 2: time that we were in the Dark Ages in Europe,
Speaker 2: you know, so like when that was happening. They were
Speaker 2: like they were in the mud, and these people are
Speaker 2: just like doing god math, you know, so like just.
Speaker 3: The correlation of that is just like insane. So that's
Speaker 3: you know, that's where these theories start to start to
Speaker 3: build up. It's like, well, if you have like this
Speaker 3: crazy just kind of understanding of the stars and everything,
Speaker 3: It's like, how do you have that when you know
Speaker 3: on the other end of that, it's just like so different.
Speaker 3: So that's where these like kind of things kind of
Speaker 3: lead into it with a lot of different other elements.
Speaker 3: It's like the architecture of the at least the one
Speaker 3: I ran into today.
Speaker 2: The architecture of the steps.
Speaker 3: They the corners make this like exact like nine steps
Speaker 3: up and I think, what is it nine nine something
Speaker 3: to heaven. It's like nine steps to heaven or something
Speaker 3: like that. But yeah, I mean there's a lot of stuff.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get all this wrong. I just well, you know,
Speaker 3: so do your own you know, like following up at
Speaker 3: all this. But there's I'm just kind of building enough
Speaker 3: of what I was just last listening to and kind
Speaker 3: of absorbing some stuff and also the tour that I
Speaker 3: just went on.
Speaker 2: But yeah, they.
Speaker 3: Just and there's a what is it, there's a sculpture, Oh,
Speaker 3: a god that they have.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna try to pronounce it because I always
Speaker 2: get it wrong and it made me feel stupid.
Speaker 3: But basically, he looks like he's on a rocket ship.
Speaker 3: If you if you go in there with the idea
Speaker 3: that this is a rocket ship, it looks like that's
Speaker 3: what he's doing.
Speaker 2: He's like sitting on something.
Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean you can kind of think of
Speaker 3: it as like, you know, whatever, like a I don't know,
Speaker 3: like a like a rock.
Speaker 2: I don't know what else would you say that is.
Speaker 3: Though, Like it looks like a tube sort of like
Speaker 3: a rocket, and it looks like he's got his hand
Speaker 3: on like a gear shift or something.
Speaker 2: And I mean it looks like if you were to
Speaker 2: picture like an ancient mind astronaut in in a sitting
Speaker 2: in a rocket ship getting ready to take off, that's
Speaker 2: what it looks like, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, there's there's just so much to it.
Speaker 2: And then so.
Speaker 3: Without any thought of what what that is with their eyes,
Speaker 3: you know, because back then they would have known what
Speaker 3: that was like trying to interpret that, they would always
Speaker 3: think that would be a god you know, like no
Speaker 3: matter what. So the other thing is that like you
Speaker 3: always kind of hear about aliens kind of doing that
Speaker 3: like will come with the culture that you understand, kind
Speaker 3: of like that masking of like you know, if you
Speaker 3: understand that a human is supposed to look this way,
Speaker 3: we'll make it look that way for you. So like
Speaker 3: maybe some of those ideas, it's like we understand that
Speaker 3: you guys have gods already, so like we're going to
Speaker 3: make ourselves look like that. So it isn't it as
Speaker 3: like so we can give it you a structure to
Speaker 3: live in. So I just thought that that idea it
Speaker 3: was like kind of fun to play with. But yeah,
Speaker 3: so like this guy just basically piling a spaceship and
Speaker 3: then he kind of passes that knowledge down to him
Speaker 3: because I mean, listen, I don't understand how anybody he
Speaker 3: figures out math in general. So like it's always a
Speaker 3: little more exploding for men.
Speaker 2: Why a couple of you did that?
Speaker 3: Uh but uh, you know, like astrophysicists or anything like that.
Speaker 3: So they could just they could have just had just
Speaker 3: as easily just had like their own uh Stephen hawkings
Speaker 3: that are just there, uh you know, figuring it all
Speaker 3: out and be like, yeah, it was just if you
Speaker 3: build a building this way, it'll it aligns with the stars.
Speaker 3: And I figured it out because I have all these
Speaker 3: tools and stuff like that, you know, and.
Speaker 2: They had nothing but time back then.
Speaker 3: You have to remember that everyone had nothing but time
Speaker 3: back they're just burning daylight.
Speaker 2: And they're like.
Speaker 3: If if as long as you get the food situation
Speaker 3: figured out, it's all it's all open road for your thought.
Speaker 3: So if they if you give the smartest guy in
Speaker 3: your village constant, like just ability to go forward with
Speaker 3: his thoughts and ideas, he could probably make something spectacular
Speaker 3: and figure out this like essential what the what's.
Speaker 2: The their their clock is their name for their clock?
Speaker 3: I just I heard it called the long count or
Speaker 3: the their calear cycles, the.
Speaker 2: Long calendar, the short calendar. I think they have two
Speaker 2: different ones whatever, but uh yeah, yeah, it's just crazy
Speaker 2: how many parallels there are between like the Mayan culture
Speaker 2: in you know, Egypt and in the Pyramids and just
Speaker 2: kind of what's you know in mainland Mexico and Itza
Speaker 2: and you know, I'd love to go to that big
Speaker 2: complex there like that you really cool to go to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the girl I worked with said that she was
Speaker 3: able to climate a long time ago.
Speaker 2: When she went I was like, I'm so drugs.
Speaker 3: She's like, yeah, yeah, they you can't do it anymore
Speaker 3: forevius reasons. I'm sure that was like over time that
Speaker 3: would just be like not even there because it would
Speaker 3: just crumble away. But yeah, so the their calendar cycles
Speaker 3: on a five hundred and or five years and that's
Speaker 3: where the whole scare in twenty twelve was like, well
Speaker 3: their calendar ends then, so what happens then? You know
Speaker 3: without you know, so but if we're you're gonna put
Speaker 3: our hats on there. That was that was the thought
Speaker 3: was that that's the middle of the universe, which isn't
Speaker 3: the thing, but like the center of the universe would
Speaker 3: basically start expanding out word and suck everything in or
Speaker 3: you know, really nobody knew what was gonna happen, but
Speaker 3: there was like I remember there being like a like
Speaker 3: a twenty twelve whole thing.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a whole movie about it with Jock.
Speaker 2: So I mean, maybe maybe the world did end in
Speaker 2: world just living in the matrix now, oh man, maybe
Speaker 2: maybe we just didn't even notice that the world did end.
Speaker 3: You know, dude, if if the world didn't and I'm
Speaker 3: still paying bills, I'm gonna be so much if I'm
Speaker 3: still like so my my my student loans are still due.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, some kind of starship Like yeah, I remember back
Speaker 2: in you know, leading up to twenty twelve, and it
Speaker 2: was like, you know, everything seemed legit. You know, it
Speaker 2: wasn't so much like when you hear the stories about
Speaker 2: some crazy, crazy, you know, religious guy predicting the end
Speaker 2: of the end of days, you know, and he's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's gonna happen on Tuesday, May fifth or whatever, you know,
Speaker 2: and you're like, all right, this guy says that it's
Speaker 2: gonna be Yeah, then it doesn't. I mean, we just
Speaker 2: assumed that that mayan calendar. You know. They never said, hey,
Speaker 2: the world's gonna end at the end of our calendar. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that was just the end of that calendar. You know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: scover does whatever their their thing was, you know. So
Speaker 2: it's like we were like, well, what happens next? You know,
Speaker 2: we kind of you know made that calculation. You know,
Speaker 2: as humans, there was you know, modern humans that uh
Speaker 2: that something bad was gonna happen at that point, you.
Speaker 3: Know, I mean, there's there's no other fun thought than
Speaker 3: have it like finding out that like or just trying
Speaker 3: to like what is that idea? Hunt about like how
Speaker 3: the world in some capacity end. It's the reason why
Speaker 3: movies like Independence Day are really cool. Uh, you know,
Speaker 3: movies like twenty twelve are really cool. It's it's fun
Speaker 3: to watch that kind of stuff kind of you know,
Speaker 3: like thematically happen. You're just like, oh, that'd be really
Speaker 3: really crazy, right, and then again you would have to
Speaker 3: pay bills and that'd be really fun. So I mean,
Speaker 3: like every couple of years we get kind of fed
Speaker 3: the world will end storyline about from either some group
Speaker 3: or you know this thing or you know, an asteroid
Speaker 3: that's coming towards Earth. Actually, a fun thing I didn't
Speaker 3: actually know about was the spot that the asteroid hit
Speaker 3: killed all the dinosaurs was actually a couple of miles
Speaker 3: or is in the same area as the like Big
Speaker 3: Temple Ones temples, the Mayan temples, And there there was
Speaker 3: some thought about, like, you know, is there a correlation
Speaker 3: between that was that the eyes of the universe would like, hey,
Speaker 3: we just decimated the entire planet or whatever. I don't
Speaker 3: know how that all works.
Speaker 2: But obviously I don't know.
Speaker 3: But yeah, there's actually like a what would seem like
Speaker 3: a dinosaur in one of their paintings, like just sitting there.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: And by the way, I do not I do not
Speaker 3: subscribe to dinistas still being alive at any point, Like
Speaker 3: really I would love that. Yeah that sounds super rad,
Speaker 3: don't get me wrong. But like the dinosaur museum, that's
Speaker 3: like in h was it? It was right next do
Speaker 3: we had that bachelor party and uh Tennessee right.
Speaker 1: Oh the no, Yeah, it was like yeah, confused, Sorry,
Speaker 1: I can.
Speaker 2: Never remember where we went.
Speaker 3: Whatever is right over the border, but yeah, so uh
Speaker 3: but yeah, so they were just like is there something
Speaker 3: there with that? And that that was a fun little
Speaker 3: thing because I mean, listen, it won't be monster soup
Speaker 3: unless we don't mention dinosaurs at least once. So for
Speaker 3: those playing at home, drink Oh, by the way, speak,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go back. So so is d ice cream
Speaker 3: on the cruise and uh best part of the cruise.
Speaker 3: My daughter had about five hundred ice creams. I think
Speaker 3: she paid for the trip single handedly. We got her
Speaker 3: money back for ice cream alone.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: Somewhere there's like a like a cruise person just like,
Speaker 3: wait did the ice cream go?
Speaker 2: But but it was the end of the night.
Speaker 3: So it was gonna be the last one. And then
Speaker 3: uh so we're in the elevator. All of a sudden,
Speaker 3: two kids come into the elevator, both of ice creams
Speaker 3: with their parents, and I was like, one more for
Speaker 3: the ditch, and they looked at me like weirdo, and
Speaker 3: I was like, ah whatever, and then I I kind
Speaker 3: of just like get back to the room and I
Speaker 3: was like, oh wait, that doesn't mean anything to anybody.
Speaker 3: One more for the ditch. I was like, that is
Speaker 3: just the thing that we say, that is like an
Speaker 3: outside thing. And I was just like, oh they because
Speaker 3: they looked at me like a weirdo, They're like, what
Speaker 3: does that even mean?
Speaker 2: Like one more for the ditch.
Speaker 3: I was just like, Oh no, that's it's not that's
Speaker 3: not a public thing for everybody. It's philibrady and one
Speaker 3: more for the ditch or something that what Joe's dad did,
Speaker 3: your friend your friend Jones.
Speaker 2: It was his his his saying was at the bar,
Speaker 2: you know, it was time to go. He was like,
Speaker 2: We'll have one more for the ditch. You know. It
Speaker 2: was basically like a joke, like your car ended up
Speaker 2: in the ditch because you were drunk driving. So it
Speaker 2: was it was a joke that it was like something
Speaker 2: we actually did. But yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll have one
Speaker 2: more for the ditch. It was a joke and.
Speaker 3: Yah the gala that. Yeah, so we always use it
Speaker 3: for like we're hanging out in the pool and it's
Speaker 3: like one more drink and uh, we're just like one
Speaker 3: for the ditch. And then yeah I said that for
Speaker 3: children's ice cream and they didn't understand.
Speaker 2: Sorry context, I wish he was.
Speaker 3: Oh well, I was looking at Joanne's comment and the
Speaker 3: thing it said, uh, you know better ex father in
Speaker 3: law about cases of spam when the world didn't end,
Speaker 3: he gave us. He gave us, uh, which you did
Speaker 3: not eat. I've heard spam is really good, by the way, uh,
Speaker 3: if you cook it right. So I've heard. I've heard people.
Speaker 3: The one girl I uh work with, she said that
Speaker 3: she gave she was given a bunch of spam when
Speaker 3: she was living in Hawaii for like a year, and
Speaker 3: she was like, actually pretty good if you know how
Speaker 3: to use it.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I've never had it in my life.
Speaker 3: Just canned meats, aren't my gym. Uh yeah, so it's
Speaker 3: always good to prep I guess a little bit.
Speaker 2: It doesn't go bad, right. I don't really know the
Speaker 2: shelf life on spam.
Speaker 3: But I never what is it? What did you do
Speaker 3: during speaking of like the end of time stuff? Uh?
Speaker 3: You know, what did you do during Y two K? Like?
Speaker 2: Where were you at? What are you doing? The actual
Speaker 2: night of Like.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, like em mid night?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were at a A whole bunch of our
Speaker 2: friends used to always go to your eve to like
Speaker 2: a hotel party where they give you like dinner and
Speaker 2: it was like you have dinner and dancing and you
Speaker 2: spend the night of the hotel kind of thing. So
Speaker 2: we had been done it every year for a handful
Speaker 2: of years. So we went and we're just like, well
Speaker 2: if it, if it goes down, we're all going down
Speaker 2: together at the party and uh it Obviously nothing happened,
Speaker 2: and we we got to the hotel. We were able
Speaker 2: to check in it like you're like one or two
Speaker 2: o'clock or whatever, and then you know, we're watching on
Speaker 2: the TV and as as the day was going on,
Speaker 2: you know, we're it starts off, you know, oh here
Speaker 2: it's new Year's in Australia, then China and you know,
Speaker 2: all the Russia, all these other places, and it was like, well,
Speaker 2: nothing's happening for them, you know, and like are weso
Speaker 2: self centered to think, oh, well, y two k, it's
Speaker 2: gonna happen just you know, but it hits the Eastern Time.
Speaker 2: But nobody else is having any problems. You know. Everybody
Speaker 2: was worried about you know, the news going off and everything.
Speaker 2: And once it was New Year's in Russia and their
Speaker 2: nukes didn't go off, it was like, nothing's gonna happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But uh so by the time we went to dinner
Speaker 2: and stuff like that, like we were sure nothing was
Speaker 2: going to happen. But I do the one thing I
Speaker 2: do remember that evening they had a band playing, and
Speaker 2: uh every other year they had like DJ who played local,
Speaker 2: awesome music, and this time it was like a bunch
Speaker 2: of old guys in like kind of a pseudo jazz
Speaker 2: kind of band. And then you know, we're getting through
Speaker 2: the like the end of the night, and it was fine.
Speaker 2: They were playing you know, some some classics and stuff,
Speaker 2: and you know, we're drinking and having fun, but we're
Speaker 2: like it's New year's nineteen ninety nine and the only
Speaker 2: song we want to hear is Prince Is nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 2: I've waited my whole damn life for this. They don't know.
Speaker 3: It, Oh my god, to hear it.
Speaker 2: I was like, I've waited since nineteen eighty two. Yeah,
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine, turn that on. Yeah, I'm like it,
Speaker 2: can we stop with the you know, old timey you know,
Speaker 2: stop playing the Charleston and let's hear some Prince you know.
Speaker 2: I was so disappointed.
Speaker 3: I was heavily disappointed about how much I didn't hear
Speaker 3: that song that year. I was like, I thought it
Speaker 3: would just be on a loop, like every hour, playing
Speaker 3: this song until you're sick of it. And then that
Speaker 3: year came out and it was just like played a
Speaker 3: smattering of times, like I didn't like. I just thought
Speaker 3: that we were all we all we all knew the assignment,
Speaker 3: and apparently nobody got my notes like yeah, like, okay,
Speaker 3: I guess we're not playing the song every hour.
Speaker 2: Songs a band that's still Scott. Scott posted in the
Speaker 2: chat that he was at the Metallica show in Detroit
Speaker 2: on New Year's and then I ended up the next
Speaker 2: day we went to the Metallica show in Cleveland. So
Speaker 2: Scott said, Metallica two nights in the road to ring
Speaker 2: in two k good, not a bad thing at all.
Speaker 2: That would be fun. Yeah, it's like rocking out. Uh yeah,
Speaker 2: I went to Yeah. Yeah, he just posted. He just
Speaker 2: got into the chat. He was like, hey everyone, it
Speaker 2: was great. And then I knew just day Brian and
Speaker 2: I saw him Cleveland.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just double it up.
Speaker 2: Detroit accident but uh was it?
Speaker 3: Uh, never mind this story stupid. I was in a
Speaker 3: New Orleans. I went I we'd never been there. I
Speaker 3: drove one hundred and twenty miles per hour all the
Speaker 3: way down because it's mill of the night. It was
Speaker 3: just me and truckers going like as fast as we.
Speaker 2: Could, driving like an old car too.
Speaker 3: I'm surprised, like thinking back, like why this car didn't
Speaker 3: explode is beyond me. I think it's just one of
Speaker 3: those like old timey cars, just like, don't do that.
Speaker 3: You do that to a to a, to a Nissan.
Speaker 3: That thing's exploding.
Speaker 2: This thing which just.
Speaker 3: Like I got you don't worry about it. It's like
Speaker 3: an old aunt that's like got a cigarette. It's like,
Speaker 3: but it's like half hanging off, like I got you money,
Speaker 3: don't worry about it, Like she flew all the way
Speaker 3: down and uh, you know, we got there. We got
Speaker 3: there in twelve hours for a while, so fast.
Speaker 2: But uh, I don't know if that's like, so, did
Speaker 2: you go down there just to say, hey, I was
Speaker 2: in New Orleans for New Year's White or was there
Speaker 2: a reason why those It.
Speaker 3: Was one of those things that you can only do
Speaker 3: when you're younger, which is just like, hey, we should
Speaker 3: do something.
Speaker 2: Let's go to New Orleans, like you know what you
Speaker 2: do to just go? Yeah.
Speaker 3: So like literally it was like I think like five
Speaker 3: o'clock or something like that.
Speaker 2: I don't remember what time it was.
Speaker 3: I don't know why I'm giving a time because I
Speaker 3: don't know what time it was.
Speaker 2: I just remember being like, do you.
Speaker 3: Want to do that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, sounds cool, we should do that.
Speaker 3: And then it was me and my sister, my mom
Speaker 3: and our friend and then she had a baby at
Speaker 3: the time.
Speaker 2: So it doesn't make me feel good, but the fact I.
Speaker 3: Was going on her twenty now, but listen, you're young,
Speaker 3: and I wasn't thinking about it. We were going so
Speaker 3: fast we got there and uh, just my mom went
Speaker 3: to the hotel room and hung out, and then we
Speaker 3: went out, me and my sister and our friend, and
Speaker 3: I remember she got one of those incredible Hulk drinks
Speaker 3: with like just every alcohol you can imagine, and she
Speaker 3: just like blacked out, and I'm like walking her like
Speaker 3: three miles and like this is before like you have
Speaker 3: a phone that knows where you're going, and I remember
Speaker 3: just being like, I don't know how to get to
Speaker 3: a hotel. We never even been to the hotel. My
Speaker 3: my mom went to the hotel and dropped everything off
Speaker 3: and we just knew the name of it. And I'm
Speaker 3: just like, oh, so like just so untethered to like
Speaker 3: everything that's happening. And I remember just like when the
Speaker 3: midnight happened, I was like, surely it's gonna go down,
Speaker 3: and then nothing. You're just kind of like, oh, we're
Speaker 3: still going, all right, let's party. So we just did
Speaker 3: that and then whatever. But uh, yeah, I don't know
Speaker 3: all that to say, like, and you know, end of
Speaker 3: days things are always just like super interesting and fun
Speaker 3: to kind of like play with and be like is
Speaker 3: this gonna happen.
Speaker 2: I've never prepped for anything.
Speaker 3: I just kind of go like listen, the cards will
Speaker 3: fallow as they may, and I'm you know, I love
Speaker 3: dystopian future stuff, and you know, I just hope to,
Speaker 3: you know, be able to stick to the shadows. I
Speaker 3: remember my wife actually said it was the time because
Speaker 3: I used to think a lot about the zombie apocalypse
Speaker 3: and like how fun that would be, and my wife
Speaker 3: being like, why would you like that you hate camping?
Speaker 3: Why would you like when you're only camping.
Speaker 2: Makes the valid point.
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, you're right, She's like, and you're
Speaker 3: not like a good survivor, like you would probably you
Speaker 3: realize you would be one of the first waves dead.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, I didn't think this all the way through.
Speaker 3: Still think it'd be really fun, though, it's just like
Speaker 3: that untelly reality. I was kind of whenever I'm walking
Speaker 3: my dog, I think about end time stuff because I'm like,
Speaker 3: be really cool if I could just let him off
Speaker 3: let him off his leash. And that's like ninety nine
Speaker 3: percent of the reason why I think it'd be cool
Speaker 3: to be like in a dystopian future, because you could
Speaker 3: just kind of do that, like I am legend thing
Speaker 3: where he just like walks alongside me while we I
Speaker 3: walk with like a rifle picking off vampires in the
Speaker 3: in the shadows.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's my main driving force for anything.
Speaker 3: Wait oh yeah, I know on miles power is really fast.
Speaker 3: The thing is, if you're going through mountains in America
Speaker 3: and that's the Eastern region, it's just it's just a
Speaker 3: lot of you can go really fast in those roads
Speaker 3: except in is it Kentucky, No, West Virginia. West Virginia
Speaker 3: is an absolute nightmare. All the roads are curved, every
Speaker 3: single one of them. I remember my wife is a
Speaker 3: really light sleeper. Every time I dray through it, she's
Speaker 3: just like, what.
Speaker 2: Are you doing?
Speaker 3: And I'm like, can't This road is unnavigable, Like every
Speaker 3: one of them is turning. I'm like I'm just oh yeah,
Speaker 3: And it's you know, you're on the highway, so like
Speaker 3: you're trying to keep speed, but then I have the
Speaker 3: I have my cruise control on it. It's just like I
Speaker 3: have to slow down. Like this is insane because you're
Speaker 3: always going around a mountain somehow. Uh you know, but
Speaker 3: but yeah, it's, uh it's possible. Just saying maybe don't
Speaker 3: do it, but it's it's very possible. I can't get
Speaker 3: speed somehow.
Speaker 2: Something that's a that's a young man's game. Yep. I know.
Speaker 3: Listen, everything you do should be done when you're young,
Speaker 3: and then when you're older you can think about how
Speaker 3: you should.
Speaker 2: Have been dead about one hundred and twenty eight times.
Speaker 2: I can't believe I did that.
Speaker 3: I can't believe I jumped into water that I was
Speaker 3: unsure of what was at the bottom. And I can't
Speaker 3: believe I used to like just like climb on top
Speaker 3: of like volkswagons to get out of said water and
Speaker 3: not get like hepatitie just like while doing it, you know,
Speaker 3: you're just hanging from like rope swings over like rivers
Speaker 3: that were just rushing. You're just gonna like it's.
Speaker 2: Gonna be sweet. And then you get pulled.
Speaker 3: Down like you know, six hundred like almost half a
Speaker 3: mile down the down the river, and then you just
Speaker 3: get out and you run back to the same spot
Speaker 3: you jump back in.
Speaker 2: You're like, ah, that's great, you.
Speaker 3: Know, like it's you're just like seconds away from getting
Speaker 3: javelined by some rogue rogue.
Speaker 2: Stick or whatever.
Speaker 3: But you're like, that's what we did.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, we didn't have the Internet and video games,
Speaker 2: so we were forced to, you know, go outside and
Speaker 2: use your imagination. But that's that's what we did.
Speaker 3: My imagination is mostly just like, all right, how can
Speaker 3: I die today? We played we'd played games like Manhunt,
Speaker 3: which I found out recently that not everybody knows who
Speaker 3: that game is. It's pretty much just tag with you're
Speaker 3: playing tag, but you play it with uh like sticks,
Speaker 3: sticks and rocks. You go into the woods and the
Speaker 3: way you tag people is with sticks and rocks. You
Speaker 3: basically play it's hide and go seek and tag at
Speaker 3: the same time. So you have to hit somebody with
Speaker 3: the rock and or stick and you trying not to
Speaker 3: get found. My one friend was really really good at it,
Speaker 3: to the point where he would be across the river
Speaker 3: staring at us, throwing rocks at us and like all right,
Speaker 3: and then we'd be looking for him and you couldn't
Speaker 3: see him. He was like like American sniper style, just
Speaker 3: like literally he was the tree and you trying to
Speaker 3: find him, and you get we both get hit by rocks,
Speaker 3: and I look across and he's just right there, like
Speaker 3: he wasn't even anywhere else.
Speaker 2: He was just there. It was like he was just
Speaker 2: really good at like blending in and playing that game.
Speaker 2: We played a similar game it was, but we just
Speaker 2: called it throw rocks at your friends in game a
Speaker 2: real strategy. It was just like pick up a rock,
Speaker 2: throw at your friends.
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, try not to kill them.
Speaker 2: But you know, when you do hit them, then you
Speaker 2: you know, point and laugh and be little of them
Speaker 2: the rest of the day.
Speaker 3: And if you hit them really good, you run away
Speaker 3: and never talk about it again.
Speaker 2: You go. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I was in I was in the woods with Jeff
Speaker 3: and he fell to Billy.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Then one day we played rocks.
Speaker 3: I never saw any All of a sudden, He's eating
Speaker 3: soup for the rest of his life. What happene You
Speaker 3: must have fell in the woods when I wasn't there, never.
Speaker 2: To be found. Oh god.
Speaker 3: I grew up in a yeah, I mean literally growing
Speaker 3: up in like a you know, a lake town. There
Speaker 3: was just nothing. I mean it's one of those things
Speaker 3: when you get older, you're like so peaceful, I love it,
Speaker 3: But when you're younger, you're just like, there's nothing a
Speaker 3: two here. Why would everybody starting at stubborn pis But
Speaker 3: then when you have kids, you're like, oh, I'll come
Speaker 3: back it's nice, and I still go back and the
Speaker 3: back what is it? The back Like there's like a
Speaker 3: porch in the back of one of our not porch,
Speaker 3: but like a screened in kind of area patio area
Speaker 3: that's a kind of tiny. It's got like picnic benches.
Speaker 3: And I just go back there and I just smell weed,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, welcome back. Like it's just it's one
Speaker 3: of those things. It's so nostalgic, like that smell plus
Speaker 3: my town. Like it's just like I immediately am reminded
Speaker 3: of like every fun thing that we've ever done growing
Speaker 3: up and just getting into trouble and doing all this stuff.
Speaker 2: And I just immediately walk in there and like Dave
Speaker 2: and I'm like, what are you guys doing there?
Speaker 3: Like you know, it's always just like doing the same
Speaker 3: thing they were doing twenty years ago kind of thing.
Speaker 2: We're just all grow up now we have kids.
Speaker 3: It's just I don't know, it's just it's fun to
Speaker 3: see the people that you grew up with kind of
Speaker 3: like grow up in like away, but then also like
Speaker 3: kind of revisit that time. We're just kind of like, ah, man,
Speaker 3: this is this is good now, right, it's good we're
Speaker 3: all good, like, yeah, we're good.
Speaker 2: We made it.
Speaker 3: You know, you never know when you're a kid, you
Speaker 3: just you always think like, oh, I'm gonna die at
Speaker 3: twenty two or I don't know if everybody's thinking of that,
Speaker 3: but you know, I just like, I'll rip until I'm
Speaker 3: just in the ground, and then you know, you find
Speaker 3: different purposes and you go, oh, I mean I'll stick
Speaker 3: around a little longer, you know, and maybe I won't
Speaker 3: throw myself off ridge and trying to land into the
Speaker 3: water without checking it first.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: You like my one friend I wanted to go on
Speaker 3: with those rides where they like slingshot you in the
Speaker 3: near you know, like uh, you know, the tether or whatever,
Speaker 3: and it's really fun, and they he had a tree
Speaker 3: fall on him at random and it landed on his arm.
Speaker 3: But like, I mean, you know about the story, but
Speaker 3: like they don't. So it landed on his arm and
Speaker 3: just broke his shoulder. But that tree falling just a
Speaker 3: centimeter over because it clipped his ear, it bounced off
Speaker 3: his ear and hit him in his shoulder. I was like, dude,
Speaker 3: if you were sitting just a little bit over, that
Speaker 3: thing would have slammed in your head and like you
Speaker 3: we would be like you would be in just like
Speaker 3: a scooter right now, like you know, like immobile, because
Speaker 3: it was insane, like it literally came out of nowhere.
Speaker 3: No one had any time to react. It literally was
Speaker 3: just like we're sitting around a fire. All of a
Speaker 3: sudden there's a giant tree in the middle of the
Speaker 3: fire pit, you know, the fire circle, and and honestly,
Speaker 3: like it was one of those situations where he's like,
Speaker 3: we were trying to figure out who who's gonna sit where,
Speaker 3: and it could have easily been like, oh, I'll sit here,
Speaker 3: but I sat at the other chair and he sat
Speaker 3: the one chair, so it could have which switched the
Speaker 3: roles immediately. And I'm a little more Italian with my
Speaker 3: hand hand movement, so like I probably would have been
Speaker 3: like leaning over something stupid and just clipped my head.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's just one of those things where you're like, uh,
Speaker 2: it's uh.
Speaker 3: Well, all that to say, he was just like I
Speaker 3: asked him to go on one of those things and
Speaker 3: he was just like, yeah, I'm a little more like
Speaker 3: cautious about that stuff because I got three kids and
Speaker 3: I don't want to I don't want to leave them fatherless,
Speaker 3: So I don't really put myself in those situations at
Speaker 3: all anymore. He's like, obviously those things are tested.
Speaker 2: But I don't want to do it. But how do
Speaker 2: you get here?
Speaker 3: There's somebody sitting there, just like, wasn't this episode about
Speaker 3: Mayan Temple?
Speaker 2: Of course this week? Yeah said that my culture?
Speaker 3: Oh man, uh wait, hold on, I just want to
Speaker 3: read what Joanne said, jumped and.
Speaker 2: Missed and getting us submerged slick in that place? Wait,
Speaker 2: what's the submerged slick? What's that miss getting a submerged
Speaker 2: slick in a place you really don't want to? Okay? Sorry?
Speaker 3: Reading the chat, I'm sure this isn't translated, and I
Speaker 3: feel like it.
Speaker 2: I'm at home here. Yeah, Dave is full on adhd
Speaker 2: you never know where's Okay?
Speaker 3: She got a stick in a place she don't want to,
Speaker 3: got it?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 3: Sorry, So her things that she jumped at the creek
Speaker 3: and missed it and getting a submerged stick in a
Speaker 3: place you really don't want to. I was got a
Speaker 3: little caught up in the details, so I probably could
Speaker 3: have figured that out if I would have thought about
Speaker 3: it at all. Yeah, you don't you want to do that.
Speaker 3: I've luckily never landed on a stick in the water
Speaker 3: that I can remember.
Speaker 2: Maybe I blocked it out, so one in a million shots,
Speaker 2: I just happened to get the million.
Speaker 3: Uh uh. But yeah, so the mind temples, we'll get
Speaker 3: back to that. I mean, the whole idea of it,
Speaker 3: of everything you know here is really just saying that, like,
Speaker 3: you know, they had technology, but before they should have
Speaker 3: had it.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: You know that we can think of, you know, the
Speaker 3: thing thing same thing goes for like how do you
Speaker 3: pronounce it is gob the tepe, go Betley teppe mm hmm,
Speaker 3: the ancient place that sounds like go Betley tepe. But
Speaker 3: it's probably the wrong saying.
Speaker 2: Uh, but you know that's right. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Basically, you know, like they found thing. They they were
Speaker 3: doing things that we hadn't even discovered yet, like hundreds
Speaker 3: of years before we even thought that we were capable
Speaker 3: of doing them. Like so our like timeline of like
Speaker 3: the way this stuff all worked is just like it's
Speaker 3: skewed and it's off because we just were like, oh
Speaker 3: I can do yeah, but like really it's like, oh no,
Speaker 3: we could have done it. It's just you know, maybe
Speaker 3: these things were kind of just like shooting around and
Speaker 3: stuff like that.
Speaker 2: The idea of that is really cool.
Speaker 3: And like I said, there could have just been a
Speaker 3: Stephen Hawkings that live in that thing.
Speaker 2: They just let them rip and war.
Speaker 3: You know, there's just there's a lot to like the
Speaker 3: cool stuff that we're capable of that you know, was
Speaker 3: either handed down to us or you know, by a
Speaker 3: higher source that you know, figure that out. Did you
Speaker 3: know some aliens come down just like give us some
Speaker 3: give us some math lessons real quick, and be like, listen,
Speaker 3: this is how it works.
Speaker 2: Here's the sun. If you put it here, it works out.
Speaker 3: Put some things. Maybe they kind of added all the
Speaker 3: like we're worshiping you kind of added to that. They
Speaker 3: add their own interpretation onto what just happened. But you know,
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know what the end game would
Speaker 3: have been there, because that that was a just like
Speaker 3: ripped away society. Like they don't even exist in any
Speaker 3: any form other than like you know, the stories they
Speaker 3: tell through the architecture. But yeah, there's just.
Speaker 2: And to think you know, the like the bulk of
Speaker 2: the society you know, went down when like Cortes came
Speaker 2: from Spain and just decimated them and then you know,
Speaker 2: spread like was it the beasles or something? They spread
Speaker 2: the European diseases on them and wiped most of them
Speaker 2: out until they all kind of just scattered. It was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: the whole you know, ancient culture was brought down by
Speaker 2: the Measles Spaniards, you know, who wanted some territory.
Speaker 3: I know, I wonder I was thinking about that while
Speaker 3: I was on the trip. I was just like, I
Speaker 3: wonder if they would have like let it alone, you know,
Speaker 3: and not done all that.
Speaker 2: But where is U? Like I kept saying, Beasles with smallpox,
Speaker 2: small poxes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they spread And I mean, just like the
Speaker 3: was it the folly of man of just us just
Speaker 3: being terrible people and coming in and like you know,
Speaker 3: just completely decimating an area and then trying to deal
Speaker 3: with that and being like what does that all mean
Speaker 3: for us?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: You know, it's just like for history purposes alone, Like
Speaker 3: we're just like missing these chunks of history just because
Speaker 3: like of conquering and wanting to own a little more
Speaker 3: of the of the map. And I just wonder, like,
Speaker 3: you know, because I still think this is still something
Speaker 3: I still think about, like all the timers like I
Speaker 3: can't believe we still have war, Like why is war.
Speaker 2: Still a thing?
Speaker 3: Like we're in like a different age now, like we
Speaker 3: we don't have to do these things, like our maps
Speaker 3: aren't really changing a lot, like you know, they're kind
Speaker 3: of all staying about the same.
Speaker 2: Uh So at this point, like what are we? Like?
Speaker 2: What do we I don't know, It's it's.
Speaker 3: Still weird to me. I know it's a lot of
Speaker 3: it's resource based and stuff like that, but I don't know.
Speaker 3: I just feel like we're all if we figured out
Speaker 3: indoor plumbing, we can figure out Like I'm not each
Speaker 3: other anymore.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh my god, guys figure it out.
Speaker 3: But you know, and I'm not part of those those.
Speaker 2: Uh oh God, speaking of I saw.
Speaker 3: I don't even know I should bring this up as
Speaker 3: a ruined my day, which it should have if it
Speaker 3: didn't ruin my day.
Speaker 2: I feel like I need to check my meter.
Speaker 3: But it was this just a video of Palestine and
Speaker 3: there was this little boy of some type of a roof.
Speaker 2: He's just covered in.
Speaker 3: Dust and blood and then it cuts to a U.
Speaker 2: It was so bad. It cuts to the reporter kind
Speaker 2: of talking about it.
Speaker 3: He's like across the way he's just kind of filming
Speaker 3: it and cut to like a baby that's.
Speaker 2: Just in half, and I was just like, oh god.
Speaker 3: I just like had to put my phone down because
Speaker 3: I was on TikTok and I knew the next one
Speaker 3: would be like a dog or something, and I was like,
Speaker 3: I can't that can't be, like I need to sit
Speaker 3: with us for a minute. So I literally put it
Speaker 3: down and it was just like staring at the wall.
Speaker 3: I was like, this is so terrible. And then I
Speaker 3: started reeling from that. I was like, oh my gosh, like, oh,
Speaker 3: like why do we still do this? And then you know,
Speaker 3: like just having this kind of like spiral of like
Speaker 3: you know, which I should have had, Like it was
Speaker 3: It's a it was a human emotion from that specific situation.
Speaker 3: So it's and just being like feeling so powerless and
Speaker 3: helpless and really not even.
Speaker 2: Like understanding the entire situation.
Speaker 3: I've kind of because I'm not I'm not as versed
Speaker 3: and like all that stuff. I've been very kind of
Speaker 3: back off about that stuff because I don't understand any
Speaker 3: of it, like Middle Eastern politics, just like I confuse
Speaker 3: the crap on me.
Speaker 2: And I'm I'm not in the position. But you know,
Speaker 2: tragedy when you see it, you know, when you'll see
Speaker 2: it baby laying there cut in half and a kid,
Speaker 2: you know that's just yeah.
Speaker 3: Maybe doesn't know. You know, like, let those kids know.
Speaker 3: They're you know, they're everyone's grown. Like we were born here.
Speaker 3: The only reason why we're on this side is because
Speaker 3: we were born here. If we were born in Mexico,
Speaker 3: we were born like we would have that mental If
Speaker 3: we were born in Canada, we would have you know,
Speaker 3: we'd be eaten Tim Horton's and you know stuff like that.
Speaker 3: You know, it's just like we're all born in our situations.
Speaker 3: And you know that little kid didn't know. And I
Speaker 3: think my favorite piece of photography that makes me humble
Speaker 3: all the time is these kids. They're having a bath
Speaker 3: with their dad and they're smiling and happy. The backdrop
Speaker 3: of that is they're in a blown out building in
Speaker 3: a tub that's the only thing in the room. But
Speaker 3: I mean it's just rubble everywhere else. But they're just
Speaker 3: playing in the bubbles their dad made for them. And
Speaker 3: I'm just like, oh, like, we don't know tragedy, Like
Speaker 3: we I don't even know the concept if whatever trauma
Speaker 3: I have is like a it's a it's like the
Speaker 3: pale blue dot of seeing Earth from Saturn, you know,
Speaker 3: like from the rings of Saturn, that from the car.
Speaker 3: I can't think of his name right now, but yeah,
Speaker 3: it's it's that same idea of this, Like.
Speaker 2: Whatever I'm thinking is really really bad.
Speaker 3: These these kids have seen that and moved on and
Speaker 3: hopefully not gotten radicalized from it. But it's just it's
Speaker 3: so oppressive to like think that these things are going
Speaker 3: on and that we're still doing these things, that we're
Speaker 3: still trying to like conquer these lands or like just
Speaker 3: like put our mindsets into people that don't want it.
Speaker 2: Such an upsetting thing.
Speaker 3: I didn't mean to talk about this, but it just
Speaker 3: popped in my head, and like I didn't want to
Speaker 3: really because it just changes the vibe. But I feel
Speaker 3: like those vibes, you know, uncomfortable things are uncomfortable because
Speaker 3: they should be uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: You should live in those moments.
Speaker 3: And it's really upsetting to see these things, especially when
Speaker 3: it comes to kids just who don't deserve it, who
Speaker 3: have no sides. They're just there and they have to
Speaker 3: choose the side with their body and their body is
Speaker 3: just I mean, it's rough. So don't seek that out
Speaker 3: if you don't want ruin your day, but do seek
Speaker 3: it out if you want to just like see where
Speaker 3: we're at as humanity and where we should where we
Speaker 3: should be is nothing that shouldn't have happened. None of
Speaker 3: that should happen. We should still have these histories that
Speaker 3: exists still. We shouldn't be trying to conquer things that
Speaker 3: are kind of established. It's an upsetting time to live in. Uh.
Speaker 3: Specifically now, when I'm able to kind of we're able
Speaker 3: to like live stream war, I think that's when we
Speaker 3: should stop doing war. Uh, you know, because because again
Speaker 3: we're all from the nation we're from, and our idea,
Speaker 3: ourdy allergies are built on those, so like we have
Speaker 3: to be able to see both sides of it and
Speaker 3: understand come to a middle point to be like, hey,
Speaker 3: like there's a disagreement here, but let's let's let cooler
Speaker 3: heads reside here and go like, hey, like this is
Speaker 3: where we're putting. Obviously, you gotta there's some bad things
Speaker 3: that happen in different cultures that we kind of kind
Speaker 3: of put that put it into that and be like, hey,
Speaker 3: you know we're all like humanitarian efforts and doing all
Speaker 3: that stuff, uh it while also respecting uh you know,
Speaker 3: religion and like where everyone's coming from and things like that.
Speaker 2: It's it's just a it's a weird time. I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just it's sad all the way around.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: We should be above that kind of stuff. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: we're not.
Speaker 3: Don't know fred place to end.
Speaker 2: But now that we brought the whole mode down, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Sorry about that everybody. But you know, like I said,
Speaker 3: sometimes you got to live in a couple of moment
Speaker 3: to to understand the weight of it all. But uh,
Speaker 3: you know, just make a difference where you can really,
Speaker 3: I you know, like like I was saying, I I
Speaker 3: wasn't absorbed with that information because I can't do anything
Speaker 3: about it because I'm not over there and I'm not
Speaker 3: in that world. But you can make You can make
Speaker 3: differences at your home, you know, your hometown getting politics
Speaker 3: as you can locally. If you find I got this
Speaker 3: guy posted something like about something. I was like, dude,
Speaker 3: you know you can just run for office, right, Like
Speaker 3: that's the thing you could just do. Uh So, if
Speaker 3: you if you see issues with things, you know, fight
Speaker 3: for them or you know, find people who can. It's
Speaker 3: sometimes the hardest thing is finding the people that can
Speaker 3: actually make change.
Speaker 2: That's the biggest hard thing.
Speaker 3: You got to find the people out there that go like, hey,
Speaker 3: we need another community rec center. Talk about it with
Speaker 3: your people, make it happen, you know. It's Uh, the
Speaker 3: one cool thing about living in America is that we're
Speaker 3: allowed to kind of start up to make change and
Speaker 3: still talk about it for now. So and uh we
Speaker 3: should express that and as many way as we can.
Speaker 2: And if you're.
Speaker 3: Capable of stopping an entire war, I think you probably should. Yeah,
Speaker 3: So get out there and fight, stand up for your
Speaker 3: believe I mean, if you if whatever you believe, and
Speaker 3: I think there should be you should you should feel
Speaker 3: you know. I think some people say, like if somebody
Speaker 3: is like a singer or something and they start talking
Speaker 3: about things that aren't maybe into the wheelhouse. Everybody, if
Speaker 3: they have a voice, should talk about the things that
Speaker 3: they feel are important to them, whether that be uh,
Speaker 3: you know, people or a disease that maybe wrecked their family,
Speaker 3: or just anything. If you have the ability to change
Speaker 3: it in any monocur of way, even if you get
Speaker 3: somebody to kind of come to your side on it.
Speaker 3: I think it's always important to talk about it. But listen,
Speaker 3: there's there's this, this and this and this, and the
Speaker 3: right people will here at the wrong people will never listen.
Speaker 2: Uh anyway, so you just got to.
Speaker 3: Know that you're released talking to one person and make
Speaker 3: one person's life change in any way they can. So
Speaker 3: do you think spread positive what we can? And this
