Thank you so much for 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,559 Speaker 1: listening today. I'm back from vacation. The show is back 4 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 1: from vacation, and it was a glorious one. Did you 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: miss me because I missed you. I miss doing this podcast. 6 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: I really do. It's a big part of my life. Obviously, 7 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 1: the show is a big part of my life. I 8 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 1: do it every day, but I always know that when 9 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: the show ends, I'm gonna jump on the after show 10 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: and kind of be a little bit more raw, a 11 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: little bit more open about myself and about things on 12 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: the show, behind the scenes stuff. Whatever I want to 13 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 1: talk about I can talk about. I kind of have 14 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 1: that free reign. 15 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 2: You know. 16 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: It's not like the Howard Stern Show when he went 17 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: to serious and he could swear all that he wanted, 18 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: although he didn't make a big deal about it. Obviously 19 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: he did swear and could play more adult content. But 20 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: it's not like that. I don't come on here to 21 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: just be dirty and say, you know, bad words, but 22 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 1: you will hear them here and there. It's always funny 23 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: when Billy swears. But anyway, yeah, man, maybe vacation was 24 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: so much fun. It was so good. But it's gonna 25 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: be back. Good to be back at a routine, I 26 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: was saying to McCabe. He texted me yesterday asking you 27 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: know how I was if I was ready to come back, 28 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: and I said, dude, I am ready. And that is because, well, 29 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: first of all, I have a fun job. Okay, So 30 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: I don't have a job that I hate going to. 31 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: I do love going It sucks getting up early, but 32 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: I just thrive in routine, you know. And I think 33 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: I think part of that comes from, you know, being 34 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: in institutions, in programs, drug programs, detoxes, jails, things like 35 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: that kind of they institutionalize you, right, So I do 36 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: good with routine every day. I have the same routine 37 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: during the week and then a different routine on the weekends. 38 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: You know. Like when I got home from vacation, my 39 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: wife was like, I'm not unpacking. We've just traveled for 40 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: seven I mean for twelve hours straight. I am not 41 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: unpacking the luggage I have to unpack. I have to 42 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: separate all the clean laundry from the dirty laundry, get 43 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: it ready for the ten loads of laundry that I 44 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: was going to do on Sunday because we go back 45 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: Saturday night. So yeah, a routine is what I thrive on. 46 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: So I was looking forward to coming back and doing 47 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: the show. So it was good to be back. A 48 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: little rusty on some things. You know, you take time off, 49 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: you know that a long of it a weekend, you 50 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: kind of break the rhythm that you're in. Now. You 51 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't notice if you listen to the show. I don't 52 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: think you would notice. But just little things, you know, 53 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: like I said the phone number wrong, you know, I 54 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: said six one seven instead of eight seven to seven. 55 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: These are minor things, right, the live radio show, but 56 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: I noticed them. It'll take a day or two to 57 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: get back into the rhythm. But the vacation in itself amazing, amazing, amazing. 58 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: It's the second time in Aruba. My wife and I 59 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: went two years ago. For the first time. We fell 60 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: in love, like so many people do. Right, it's such 61 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: a cliche thing and I know that, right. It's a 62 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: everyone goes to a Ruba, they go to Florida, they 63 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: go to a Ruba, and once they go, they keep 64 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: going back. Now, why, well, if you go, you can 65 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: understand why. Yes, it's very touristy, but the island is 66 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: safe and it's beautiful. Obviously, the beaches are beautiful, top 67 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: in the world. It's eighty five degrees plus every single 68 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: day with very little rain. But it's safe and you 69 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: can rent a car and you can drive around the 70 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,679 Speaker 1: whole island, which is not that big. I think it's 71 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: like twenty miles the length of it. So that's what 72 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: we did the first time. We did it again this time, 73 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: although we stayed in an airbnb this time. The first 74 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: time we went, we stayed at the Marriott Stalaris Casino, 75 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: which is if you've never been to Aruba. They have 76 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: one side is the Short Hotels and that's on Eagle Beach, 77 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: and then they have the Tall Hotels, which is a 78 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: strip of hotels on Palm Beach, and that's also right 79 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: next to like a downtown area that's really cool, has 80 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: kind of a Miami beach vibe. I guess you could 81 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: say it's popping at night. The hotels are all right there. 82 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: Everyone's out going out to dinner and doing a bunch 83 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: of shopping. They have a bunch of cool shops. So 84 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: we've only stayed at the Tall Hotel, but this time 85 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: we got a airbnb, which was right in the Nord 86 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: neighborhood near Palm Beach, near the Tall hotels, only about 87 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: like two or three minutes from there, and it's kind 88 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: of an upscale neighborhood. And now you have to remember Aruba 89 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: is very desert like, you know, it's very dry. There's 90 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: no grass, it's all like sand and gravel. They do 91 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: have paved roads, but it's very dry, and so the 92 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: neighborhood is called Nord. We found an airbnb. It's called 93 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: zen to Sy Aruba, so you can look it up online. It's, 94 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: you know, instead of Ecstasy, it's zen to s and 95 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: it's beautiful. It's as advertised in the pictures. But the 96 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: main reason we chose it is because we went with 97 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: another family, my friend Alan the plumber, his wife Brooke, 98 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: and their daughter Sage. Because Allan and I are good, 99 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: really good friends. Brook and my wife are good friends. 100 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: And then Gemma, my daughter, and Sage, their daughter are 101 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: good friends. Right, so it made sense. And the airbnb 102 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: had four bedrooms, all with king beds and all with 103 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: their own bathroom, which was like amazing, has a small pool, 104 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: and it's very zen like, right, there's there's buddhas everywhere, 105 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: there's a Buddha in the pool. Everything lights up purple 106 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: at night, all these lighting inside the pool, outside the pool. 107 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: It's just very well done. It's a you know, a 108 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: highly rated airbnb. We were very happy. So that's where 109 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: we stayed. So the flight there, no problems, got to TSA, 110 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: go through TSA at five in the morning, got on 111 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: the plane, no issues, flew there. I read The Housemaid 112 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: because at least it gave me a book, but I 113 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: forgot it, so I bought The Housemaid. I read that 114 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: on the way and then I watched the movie on 115 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: the way back, which was pretty cool. I can talk 116 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: more about that another time. But we get there. We 117 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: got our car, they got their own car. We get 118 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: to the airbnb, you know, checked in, there was a 119 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: code and it was beautiful. It was all set. So 120 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: the first night we got there, we didn't do much. 121 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: We pretty much stayed in. We had traveled all day. 122 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: We didn't really do much. But day two is when 123 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: the fun started. Okay, now, my wife pretty much planned 124 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: along with you know, Allen and Brooke, the rite, the itinerary. 125 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: So day two we went to a place called De 126 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: Palm Island, which is really cool. You take like a 127 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: dinghy boat out to a Legit Island and they have 128 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: flamingos on there. They have a water park and they 129 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: have all kinds of ocean things you can do, like 130 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: snorkeling and like an obstacle course in the ocean, which 131 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: my son absolutely loved. And it was all inclusive too, 132 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: so all the food you could eat at a restaurant 133 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: as well, which is which was included. So we spent 134 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: the whole day there. Obviously, my daughter in saged in 135 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: the little water park there, but they had water slides. 136 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: I did some of that. My son did the obstacle 137 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: course a bunch of times. Alan was snorkeling in the water. 138 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: I'm not a big snorkeler, you know. I put my 139 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: head in the water. I see all the fish kind 140 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: of freaks me out. Like I'll swim in the ocean, 141 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: but when I see the fish, it's like I know 142 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: they're there, but I don't want to see them swimming 143 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: around me. It kind of freaks me out. I don't know, 144 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: I'm kind of a bitch with that shit. But he 145 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: did that, and then we just spent the whole day 146 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: there and it was cool, and then we took the 147 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: boat back to Land and that was day two. Now 148 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: we ate we went grocery shopping there because there are 149 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: a bunch of grocery stores there which are all Chinese. 150 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: For some reason, Chinese families, I should say, own them. 151 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: I actually did a deep dive on that. It's because 152 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: a bunch of people from China or Japan, I think 153 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: China immigrated there. Something happened over there many years ago. 154 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: They immigrated to Aruba and they saw a need for supermarkets, 155 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: so they all opened a bunch of supermarkets and they've 156 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: all been passed down over the years, generation to generations, 157 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: so they're all family owned, all super nice people, as 158 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: is any everybody in Aruba. I mean, the people that 159 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: are from Aruba are so so nice. And what's really 160 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: cool is the difference in currency. You can use American 161 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: dollars or you can use their money, which is florin. 162 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: I think florinine a florin. I forget what it is. 163 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: But our money is double what their money is. I'm sorry, 164 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: their money is double what our money is. So one 165 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: dollar an American is almost two dollars in their currency, 166 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: so when you tip them, say ten dollars, it's like 167 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: twenty dollars. To them, so they are super super happy. 168 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: So that's cool. So that was day two. Day three, 169 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: I found a gym to work out, and I was 170 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: looking looking online at gyms to get up and go to, 171 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: and I found a CrossFit gym that was outside. Now, 172 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: this was in that downtown area that I talked about 173 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: on Palm Beach and it's kind of there's a restaurant 174 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: called Gianni's that's right there that we also went to, 175 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: but behind that there's the parking lot. But then there's 176 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: a gym that's outside. It's basically like a trailer and 177 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: if you go into it, it has a turf, bars, weights, 178 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: all that stuff. It's a CrossFit gym, but they have 179 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: high rocks classes. So I signed up. I got up 180 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: early and I went to work out at like six 181 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: in the morning. It was so cool to work out outside. 182 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: It was warm and it was a good workout. So 183 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: shout out to that place. It's called Muscles and Lungs 184 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: and they have classes all day every day. They have 185 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: an open gym as well, and you can work out 186 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: outside in a ruba, which is really really cool. The 187 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: next day we had to take a break from being 188 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: out in the suns well we were still in the sun, 189 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: but we didn't do a beach day. We went to 190 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: the zoo. They have a really cool zoo in a 191 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: rub but I posted all this on my Instagram where 192 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: you could feed the monkeys. You could feed the donkeys. 193 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: They had ostriches, pigs and all kinds of animals, so 194 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,719 Speaker 1: that was cool. And then we went to where did 195 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: we go after that? We went out to eat and 196 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: then we went back to the to the house because 197 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: the kids were burnt from the sun. I mean, we 198 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: applied sunscreen, but it's really hard when they're playing all day. 199 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: You know, you cover them up with the sunscreen, but 200 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: you know, serampots of their body like my son's forehead. 201 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: And then Sage was very pale, got a bad sun burnt, 202 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: so we had her cover it up. So we tried 203 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: to limit the time in the sun. So we didn't 204 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: do much that night. So then the next day, my 205 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: friend Alan wanted to go to the natural Pool which 206 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: is in their National park, which you need to either 207 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: do a tour or have like a UTV or whatever. 208 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: He had a jeep to get to. It's very bumpy. 209 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: We did it the first time we went to Aruba, 210 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: so we couldn't do it with Gemma, right, my daughter's 211 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: almost four years old. She we're not going to take 212 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: her out into the national park. It's kind of risky. 213 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: So he went there and I rented a UTV, a 214 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: four seater UTV, which was cool because I kind of 215 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: surprised my son. I didn't tell him because we kept 216 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: seeing them driving around Aruba because you can drive her 217 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 1: on the street. So ATVs and bikes and all this 218 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: scooters all driving in the road, and he's like, oh Dad, 219 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: can we do that? Oh my god? And so I 220 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: ordered it and it came. Now I want to do 221 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: a special shout out here because I found a place online. 222 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: I called it. I asked if they had had it 223 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: to rent. They said they did, they would drop it 224 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: off free of charge. So the guy comes with his 225 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: wife and young baby. They have a company there, it's 226 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: called road Runner ATV where they rent ATVs and UTVs 227 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 1: for either four hours or eight hours. It's called road 228 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: Runner atv okay. So he comes. I have to sign 229 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: all this paperwork, my license everything. Now he charged me. 230 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: I think it was four hundred and fifty dollars for 231 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: four hours, right, which is a normal price. I guess. 232 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: And then he also held five hundred dollars as a deposit, 233 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: but did not run that through my credit card and 234 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: explained to me he said, you know, I learned the 235 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: hard way. If I run that, it can take like 236 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: thirty days plus to get it back. So I'm just 237 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: gonna kind of hold it here just in case anything 238 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: does happen. And that makes me a little bit nervous, 239 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: right because I'm like, I'm gonna use this thing, We're 240 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: gonna bring it back, and you don't know, you don't 241 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,559 Speaker 1: know the country. What if he's like, oh, well, this 242 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: was not here, this issue, So I'm gonna chodge you 243 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: five hundred or three hundred bucks. But I just hope 244 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: for the best. We got it, and we drove all 245 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: around to Aruba. We went to downtown, we went a 246 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: little bit of shopping. It was really really cool. My 247 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: kids loved it. So after we did that, well they 248 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: have I'm sorry I should mention they do have the lighthouse. 249 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: We went to the California Lighthouse and Aruba you can 250 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: go up into My son and I did that. Then 251 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: they have this like little chapel that's open to the public. 252 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: It's a tiny, tiny church. We went to that as well. 253 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: So after our time was up, we went back to 254 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: the house. I left the UTV for them. They said 255 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 1: they would pick it up. We ended up going out 256 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: to dinner and all that. So I was saying at 257 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: dinner to my friends and my wife, I'm like, I'm 258 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: just I hope they don't do anything. Like the guy 259 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: seem like a really nice guy. I don't think he would. 260 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: And mind you, we didn't take it off road, you know, 261 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: we drove it on the streets, so this nothing happened, 262 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: you know, but I still had the thought in my head. 263 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: So the next morning, okay, we're on our way to 264 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: Baby Beach and I get a phone call and it's 265 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: an Ruba number, and I'm like shit. So I answered 266 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: the phone and the guy says, Hey, this is so 267 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: and so from Roadrunner ATV. And my heart dropped. I'm like, 268 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: here we go. What's the problem. And he goes, I 269 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: just want to let you know that, you know, I 270 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: charged you four fifty for the UTV. I'm like yeah, 271 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 1: he goes, I overcharged you. It was my mistake. I'm sorry. 272 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: I overcharged you one hundred dollars. He goes, I actually 273 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: live right now where you're staying literally one straight over. 274 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: He's like, I'll swing it by right now and just 275 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: give you the cash. I'm really sorry about that. And 276 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, on my baby beach. Now, 277 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 1: I'll be back in a couple hours. I'll call you 278 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: when I get back. I hang up the phone and 279 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, imagine that here. I was worried this guy 280 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: was gonna scam me. I would have had no idea 281 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 1: that he overcharged me. I paid the money and kept 282 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: it moving. So I get back to the house, I 283 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: call him. He says, I'll be right over. He pulls up. 284 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: I go outside and he looks at me and he goes, 285 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: you know what, this is good karma, And I said, 286 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: you know what, this is good business because let me 287 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 1: tell you, I would have had no idea and now 288 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: you're handing me one hundred dollars back, which basically I 289 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: gained right. I had no idea you overcharged me, and 290 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: now thanks to this, every time I come back to Aruba, 291 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna call Roadrunner and he goes, oh, thank you, 292 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: my friend. I pre thank you. Thank I go not 293 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: only that I ain't gonna tell everyone I know that 294 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: goes to Aruba and they want to rent an ATV 295 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: to go to road Runner ATV. You should have saw 296 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: his face. And I took the money back, and I'm like, 297 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: this is good business, and you're right, it is good calm, 298 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: it really is. I just really really liked that. So 299 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: then we did Baby Beach the next day, which was great, 300 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: and then we got some pictures. Now I'll get to 301 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: that in a minute, but let me rewind here because 302 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: I left out, oh my god, the most important part. 303 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: So I had been thinking about getting my wife a ring. Okay, 304 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: she had an engagement ring that I had gotten for 305 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: her when I proposed. When I proposed in twenty and twelve. 306 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: Now in twenty twelve, I was interning orright, maybe I 307 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: had just gotten hired at minimum wage at the radio station. 308 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: I was working at Friendlies flipping burgers. I had no money, okay, 309 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: so I saved up as much as I could, and 310 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: I believe it was I had saved two thousand dollars. 311 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: So I went to like Kay's Jewelers and I was 312 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: looking at rings. Now I had no idea how much 313 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: rings cost, but I wanted her to have what's called 314 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: a princess cut ring or it's just one kind of 315 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: big diamond. But when they showed me the rings and 316 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: the prices, I couldn't afford it, you know what I mean. 317 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: And I said to the guy, listen, honestly, I only 318 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: got like a couple one thousand dollars. And he goes, well, 319 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: your best option, he said, is when they split the 320 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: rocks up. It's cheaper the diamonds. If you get a 321 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: whole one, it's gonna be more expensive. But if they 322 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: break it up into the little ones, he goes, look 323 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: at this one right here, and it looked like a 324 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: one big rock, but if you look closely, it's just 325 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: a bunch of little ones there. And it was like 326 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: eighteen hundred dollars. And it was kind of an illusion 327 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: because it does look like from Afar it's just one 328 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: big rock, but it's really not. But I got it 329 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: for her, and you know what, she loved it, and 330 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: she wore that, you know, up until you know, a 331 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: year ago or whatever when she lost the ring, if 332 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: she lost it or she broke it and didn't know. 333 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: So one day she looked down and all the diamonds 334 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: were gone in the ring. So she's been ringless for 335 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: like the last year, and she's hinted to me, like, 336 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: you know, I'm walking around without a ring. I have 337 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: no ring. I don't know she has like a little 338 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: band on. So I had been thinking about getting a ring. 339 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: And then we had the conversation on the air about 340 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: the Lab diamonds versus real diamonds. And let me tell you, 341 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: it was you guys. It was our listeners, our talkbackers, 342 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: callers that convinced me that Lab is okay. Because in 343 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: my mind, I'm like, is that the cheap way out? 344 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: Is that kind of you know, sleazy to get my wife? 345 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: The woman? I love a Lab diamond But once I 346 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: looked further into it and I heard what everyone had 347 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: to say, I'm like, oh my god, it's not even 348 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: a big deal. Like the Lab diamonds are beautiful. So 349 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: I did a little research. That's a bunch of jewelry 350 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: stores and a Ruba and I found this one that 351 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: I really really liked. Had a lot of good reviews, 352 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: like no bad reviews, and a lot of reviews from 353 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: Americans that had gone there and gotten engagement rings or 354 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: in my case, upgraded the ring. So I was able 355 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: to surprise her. I asked my friends Alan and Brooke 356 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: if I could take her with me to a grocery store. 357 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: So we went to the grocery store, but before we 358 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: went there, we went downtown and she's like, where are 359 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: we going? And I'm like, I just want to check 360 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 1: out this one store, just I just I saw something, like, 361 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: let me check it out. She said, okay. So we park. 362 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: We're walking kind of through all the stores and she's like, 363 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: what's the story you're looking for? I understand. I'm looking 364 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: around because I had never been there, but I knew 365 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: the name. So we're walking through all the shops in 366 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: a Aruba and I'm looking and finally she's like, where 367 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: are we going? And I'm like, I think it's right 368 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: over here. So we finally get to the store and 369 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: I stop in front of it and I look up 370 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: and I'm like, here it is. And you should have 371 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 1: saw her face, man, her whole face drop, like, oh 372 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: my god. And so I opened the door for her 373 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 1: and she walked in. The woman said hello, and I said, 374 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: piket and she goes, pick any ring. I go pick 375 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: the one that sticks out to you most. Do not 376 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: worry about the price, just pick it. So she did 377 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: a little bit of you know, looking around, trying on 378 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: and she settled on this one ring that was a 379 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 1: lab diamond and it's just under three carrots, which you know, 380 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say how much I paid for it. 381 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: It was several thousand dollars, but if it was a 382 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: real diamond, it would have cost way way more, probably, 383 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: I don't know, twelve to fifteen thousand. So it was 384 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: less than that, you know, much less than that. But 385 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: she loves it, and that's all that matters. So she 386 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: got the ring. They let us take it, but we 387 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: brought it the next day to get it sized, and 388 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: then picked it up that night before dinner. And she 389 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: absolutely loves it. You know, I love my wife so much, man, 390 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: I really do. She is my queen and she deserves 391 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: it all, and so I'm so happy that I was 392 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: able to do that for her in Aruba, which is 393 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: has become our favorite place, you know. And what's really 394 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: cool too, is the wedding band that she was wearing. 395 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,719 Speaker 1: She wanted to keep both, but they needed to match, 396 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 1: and none of the rings, especially the one that she wanted, 397 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: matched the wedding band, so she moved the wedding band 398 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: to the other finger, and then the woman says to us. 399 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: We tell her the whole story about you know why 400 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: I was getting it for her and whatever. She goes 401 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: well not. You know what you can do now is 402 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: every time you come to Aruba, you can add a 403 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: band and buy a new band. And I was like, huh, 404 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 1: that's a good salesperson. But Dan, that's a good idea. 405 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: And my wife loves it too. So there's a good 406 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: friend of ours. Her name is Trish. Trish Rockett. You 407 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: know Mike Rockett. We talk about Salem, dear friend of 408 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: Billy's and mine, and Trisha's his wife and they've been 409 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: together a long time. I love their story so much. 410 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: They've been together since they were teenagers. They're still married. 411 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: Shout out to Mike and Trish. Mikes hit a stroke, 412 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: so he's recovering from that, but he's doing well. I 413 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: talked to him on vacation. But we went to Pete 414 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: Town with them last year and we had a great time. 415 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: We spent a lot of time Jen and I with 416 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: Mike and Trish and it was kind of really cool 417 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: to like be around them who had been and gone 418 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: through everything that we're going through now. Right. They have 419 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: raised their children, great kids, Their kids like in their 420 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: twenties now one's getting married. So they kind of were 421 00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: able to give a lot of advice and a lot 422 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: of experience stuffs. We just really connected with them. But 423 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 1: one thing Jen always says is because they must have 424 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 1: done that. I know, I don't know where Mike got 425 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: the rings, but she has her engagement ring and then 426 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: she has all the bands around it, you know, and 427 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: I think she or Mike had told us that, you know, 428 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: once every year they were married, every couple of years, 429 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: he would get her a new band for the ring, 430 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: and so that kind of always stuck out to Gen. 431 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: So when the woman said that, her face like lit up. 432 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: So that's what I'll do. So that that was cool. 433 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 1: So that happened final day Baby beach and then that night, 434 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: Friday night, we got professional pictures done on the beach, 435 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: which was really really cool.
