Speaker 1: Ready.
Speaker 2: Sure, Andy, we're ready. You're rolling, I'm rolling.
Speaker 1: It's all I got this week.
Speaker 2: I like that simple to the point we're really going
Speaker 2: into the boom clap.
Speaker 1: That's right. What's up man?
Speaker 2: Not much? How are you today?
Speaker 1: I'm okay, that's good. That's it.
Speaker 2: I mean my chest is on fire from the last
Speaker 2: Serial Killers episode, like literally my chest right now, like
Speaker 2: right here, it's hot.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I don't really believe you.
Speaker 2: No it is.
Speaker 1: I don't really believe that you're like so allergic to
Speaker 1: all these things. I'm not.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I'm so allergic. I'm just saying I
Speaker 2: have mild irritations that aren't fun.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. I'm not like discrediting allergies. I
Speaker 1: understand it's a major serious thing. People die from it.
Speaker 1: I get it. But you I think you're just like, oh,
Speaker 1: if I have dried fruit, i'll go down.
Speaker 2: No that so again, it's a mild irritation. There are
Speaker 2: people that have EpiPens. Oh yeah, that's the serious one.
Speaker 1: You don't have any saying.
Speaker 2: No, I'm saying the mild irritations I have are not great.
Speaker 2: It's the same way that like when someone like smacks
Speaker 2: your hands. You're like, oh my god, it's red. I
Speaker 2: think it's broken.
Speaker 1: So how do you correct a scratchy throat from an
Speaker 1: apple that you might eat?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I would usually be drinking water right now.
Speaker 2: We don't have any great, thank god. We work in
Speaker 2: an office building has zero water.
Speaker 1: Oh there's actually some water.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that requires me to get up right now,
Speaker 2: and I'm just not in the mood.
Speaker 1: Got it? So is there anything you want to talk
Speaker 1: about this Weekendrew? Because remember this is you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you know what happened to me?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 2: So? Like?
Speaker 1: Ohait? Did we say it's bull Chat?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: It's the offshoot of the Serial Killers podcast.
Speaker 2: You don't even need to say that, but okay, yeah, great.
Speaker 1: There was a sister podcast. Great.
Speaker 2: I obviously a couple of weeks ago, went to the
Speaker 2: green Port and the South Fork.
Speaker 1: People don't know what that is.
Speaker 2: It's in the Long Island. It's on the island. It's
Speaker 2: not the Long Island. It's whatever on Long Island. So
Speaker 2: I was there.
Speaker 1: It's way out of the very tippy tippy and like
Speaker 1: the Long Island looks like this at the end. This
Speaker 1: is the North Fork. This is the South Fork because
Speaker 1: North is up and South is down.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Yeah, I was in the No Fo
Speaker 2: No Faux and it was a rock beach and I
Speaker 2: don't hear rock beaches, right. But I found out that
Speaker 2: I can't drink that much anymore.
Speaker 1: You get an old pal, I am.
Speaker 2: Do you know what happens? My heart race is really fast.
Speaker 1: And your throat closes up. No, it's just kind of
Speaker 1: strawberry beer. Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, No, So where we're trying to go with this
Speaker 2: is I can't drink that much anymore otherwise I get
Speaker 2: really bad heart palpitations. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: That really is insane, Andrew.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I feel so old.
Speaker 1: Maybe there's just something wrong with you, because that really
Speaker 1: shouldn't change with age.
Speaker 2: Maybe it does, though, why don't we get doctor Oz
Speaker 2: on the phone. I would love that. He'll probably say
Speaker 2: stop binge drinking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he would also probably then just talk for
Speaker 1: thirty minutes and we couldn't say a thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. So well, I'm just saying I feel
Speaker 2: like I'm old now, and I don't want to be
Speaker 2: the person at a party who's like just carrying around
Speaker 2: the same cand all the time, because that's also another
Speaker 2: problem I have, whether it be food or drinks, I
Speaker 2: feel like I need to eat it or drink it
Speaker 2: within the first five minutes of it being down in
Speaker 2: front of.
Speaker 1: Me, or what will happen.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just can't paste myself, can you? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I pace you pace yourself.
Speaker 1: I can pace, although I am a weird eater, and
Speaker 1: amy always is like I don't understand you. Like say Thanksgiving,
Speaker 1: for instance, Yes, I'll have a plate full of everything.
Speaker 1: I'll eat the turkey, then the mashed potatoes, then the corn,
Speaker 1: then the sweet potatoes, then the stuffing, then whatever green
Speaker 1: stuff is there, Like I don't. I really don't mix.
Speaker 1: I eat things and then things.
Speaker 2: My dad does that, like Thanksgiving is very methodical, where
Speaker 2: it's like I went up for my first plate. My
Speaker 2: first plate has X, Y and Z. Now I can
Speaker 2: do this, and then I will do this.
Speaker 1: Although see when I'm at the diner, though, and I
Speaker 1: have my turkey plate at the diner, I will like
Speaker 1: dip the turkey in the mashed potatoes. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: There's no rhyme or reason to my madness. I'm just mad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really think I need to get better at
Speaker 2: like eating slower. That's the thing, because it is I
Speaker 2: feel they say it's better for you in every right
Speaker 2: which way.
Speaker 1: Look, it's scary, like he it's like And apparently when
Speaker 1: you eat like that like cookie monster, you a lot
Speaker 1: of air goes in so that is not good for
Speaker 1: your digestive system. Makes you burp a lot, and I
Speaker 1: think it also packs on a few pounds.
Speaker 2: Really, I believe so interesting.
Speaker 1: I get completely wrong about that last part, but the
Speaker 1: first part is right. So the air, the air well,
Speaker 1: the air. If anything else makes you burp, that's where
Speaker 1: burps come from. It's air. Air. Yeah, sometimes it comes
Speaker 1: out this way, sometimes it comes out that way. When
Speaker 1: it comes out that.
Speaker 2: Way, that's a toot.
Speaker 1: That is a toot. So are you I was just
Speaker 1: thinking about this. Are you young enough yeah to have
Speaker 1: young enough or old?
Speaker 2: And no?
Speaker 1: Are you old enough to have had candy cigarettes when
Speaker 1: you were a kid? Yes, but I don't know if
Speaker 1: you had the same ones that we had when I
Speaker 1: was a kid. Like when I was a kid, they
Speaker 1: had all the packs at the you know, the store
Speaker 1: of the candy store, like a kid in a candy store.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 2: Hate that.
Speaker 1: Sorry, you'll see why I said that. Coming up Monday
Speaker 1: on serial Killers. Anyway, what's terrible teeth. Sitting on the
Speaker 1: counter would be the display box of all these fake
Speaker 1: cereal freaking cigarette packs. Yeah, you know, it would say
Speaker 1: like mule burrow and all right, and so you would
Speaker 1: get them, yeah, and they would be bubblegum, but they
Speaker 1: would be bubble gum inside a piece of paper and
Speaker 1: there was powdered sugar or like flour or whatever it
Speaker 1: is around. So you would put it in your mouth
Speaker 1: and you go and like smoke would blow out of
Speaker 1: it so much.
Speaker 2: Fine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'd be a kid. I'd be sitting like
Speaker 1: on my bicycle, like blowing powder ound of my stupid cigarette.
Speaker 1: Cool man. I would get the red one so it
Speaker 1: looked like it was flaming, it was on fire, and
Speaker 1: I would just sit there like that. I mean, dude,
Speaker 1: if those things didn't make kids start smoking, what the hell?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why you can't really get them anymore. Well,
Speaker 1: not like that anyway.
Speaker 2: The fifties, sixties and even into the seventies, it was
Speaker 2: pretty much just like smoking isn't bad. If anything, it's
Speaker 2: good for you.
Speaker 1: I was more fifties and probably early sixties the doctors
Speaker 1: would come and be like, so, you know, I think
Speaker 1: we're they're gonna have to take out your lung. Why
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: Make sure you also have half a gallon of milk
Speaker 2: because that will make.
Speaker 1: Your bones stronger. Oh, milk is good, I know. Look
Speaker 1: there's some there's the bait with milk. Now, we're very
Speaker 1: big fans of milk because we use it frequently. But
Speaker 1: you know, there are people that I know Elvis always
Speaker 1: says on the show that they say, whoever they are,
Speaker 1: that when after you're an infant or a baby, you're
Speaker 1: not supposed to drink milk anymore? Now what? Why? Why not?
Speaker 2: And growing up it was like milk and cookies, steeple
Speaker 2: milk and cookies. I think every once in a while.
Speaker 2: But did you notice growing up like the got milkouts
Speaker 2: were like are you eating like for dinner, while you're
Speaker 2: eating your pasta, make sure you have a large glass
Speaker 2: of milk, which, by the way, Nate does terrifies me.
Speaker 1: Nate does that.
Speaker 2: I do not understand people that like eat pizza with
Speaker 2: a glass of milk, me pasta with a glass of milk.
Speaker 1: Nate has a big frosty glass of whole milk with
Speaker 1: his meals. It's the strangest thing to me.
Speaker 2: I don't get it.
Speaker 1: Chocolate milk, sure, but whole milk with steak.
Speaker 2: That is disgusting. That is so like old man in
Speaker 2: like a seventies sitcom, Like he's sitting down to dinner
Speaker 2: and he has like the plate in front of him
Speaker 2: with the peas, yeah, and a steak and a glass
Speaker 2: of milk, and.
Speaker 1: Then he smokes a cigarette right after dinner at the table.
Speaker 1: Hashtag health right, So you know, but it got me
Speaker 1: thinking back to my original statement of old candy that
Speaker 1: no longer exists anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: And there was one that stood out of my mind
Speaker 1: because I was at the supermarket check out the other
Speaker 1: day and I saw something that reminded me of it.
Speaker 1: Tell me if you remember this, I mean, this is eighties.
Speaker 1: You probably have not even heard of this candy.
Speaker 2: Some folks don't believe the super fruitiness of Bonkers fruit candy.
Speaker 2: They learned soon.
Speaker 1: Some folks think Bonkers is gom. No, it's not God,
Speaker 1: I know, it's candy now with this extra fruity inside.
Speaker 2: Bonkers is so super fruity.
Speaker 1: Bonkers bunks you out candy artificially flavored. That was then
Speaker 1: dibisco ding at the end there, but Bonkers bunked you out.
Speaker 2: It was a sounds oddly sexual.
Speaker 1: What was going on in that commercial that you couldn't see.
Speaker 1: It was a bunch of like old people sitting on
Speaker 1: the couch putting a Bonkers in their mouth, thinking it's gum,
Speaker 1: but it's not, and a giant piece of fruit comes
Speaker 1: down and crushes them. But they laugh.
Speaker 2: So what is this cereal?
Speaker 1: It's not cereal, it's candy.
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, the candy.
Speaker 1: It's like it was almost like a Starburst type candy.
Speaker 1: It was chewy, you know, not quite like stuck in
Speaker 1: your teeth chewy, but it was chewy, and there were
Speaker 1: a bunch of different fruit flavors and bonkers. It was
Speaker 1: a huge candy in the eighties. Huge, and then it
Speaker 1: just kind of went away, you know. Should you hear
Speaker 1: at the very end of artificially flavored, no fruit whatsoever
Speaker 1: in there?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm trying to think what candies.
Speaker 1: Did I we talked about it in the past. Up
Speaker 1: Peb Max. I loved Peb Max. That's gone. It's nerds
Speaker 1: rope still around, I don't think so. And I loved
Speaker 1: Nerds rope bar Nune was another one. Hershey's put that
Speaker 1: out in Score. I don't think they make score anymore.
Speaker 1: And I always loved the Nestley. I think it was
Speaker 1: called Alpine White. It was a white chocolate bar and
Speaker 1: I think it had almonds in it or something like that.
Speaker 1: That was delicious. That see, because when I used to
Speaker 1: work in the five a dime, I would be the
Speaker 1: guy that ordered the candy. I was like thirteen years
Speaker 1: old and charge. Yeah, he put me in charge. I
Speaker 1: ordered candy and cigarettes. That was my job. So I
Speaker 1: would order candy and cigarette that wouldn't happen right from
Speaker 1: the distributor. And I always there were the gums. There were,
Speaker 1: I mean I made our selection of gum, like the
Speaker 1: best on Long Island, like every flavor of bubblicious bubble Yum,
Speaker 1: Hubba bubba big Lee chew. We had Gator gum. You
Speaker 1: don't remember Gator gum. It was gatorade gum.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 1: They had green and they had orange. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: supposed to like you know, it made no sense whatsoever
Speaker 1: because it was full of sugar. But I loved Gator gum.
Speaker 1: And then there was freshen up and tools. Tools had
Speaker 1: the squirt of crud in the middle. You would go
Speaker 1: and like spearmint goo would shoot out in your mouth.
Speaker 1: And they had bubble gum also, and clourettes and all
Speaker 1: these crazy clurets. I mean I loved those. God all
Speaker 1: this stuff is and even SERTs. They don't make SERTs anywhere.
Speaker 1: Remember seirts? Yeah nope, gone.
Speaker 2: Well, okay. If I could say one thing about mints,
Speaker 2: breath mints. When I was growing up, they often icy
Speaker 2: memes that are like I grew up during the breath
Speaker 2: mint gold rush, and that's true. We had the ice
Speaker 2: breakers liquid mints during those little bubbles. Sure, and if
Speaker 2: you had like, you'd go to take one and you
Speaker 2: get like six of them and then your mouth would explode.
Speaker 2: There was also the altoids, the that came the can.
Speaker 1: I never liked altoys, even though they were one curiously strong.
Speaker 1: They were very strong. I was not curious at all
Speaker 1: they were, so I can't eat them. Like Greg t
Speaker 1: used to smoke seventeen packs of cigarettes and then have
Speaker 1: a pop altoys. And he also used to think that
Speaker 1: he would brush his teeth with altoids. He wouldn't really
Speaker 1: brush his teeth or go to the dentist, so he
Speaker 1: would just pop altoys like, oh yeah, it's good.
Speaker 2: The actual smell like I can the way you're picturing it.
Speaker 2: I'm just smelling someone who just smoked a cigarette and
Speaker 2: is masking it with like a cinnamon altoid and I'm gagging.
Speaker 2: It may not seem like it, but internally gagging.
Speaker 1: You know. I just thought of have you ever had
Speaker 1: a delpha role a? What delpha rolelfa role So it
Speaker 1: was like a red licorice strawberry I think it was
Speaker 1: strawberry licorice, but it wasn't a stick. It was in
Speaker 1: a it was flat. It was like maybe I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe an inch wide and it was flat, and it
Speaker 1: was in a roll. There were four of them in
Speaker 1: a package, and you would like just like rip them
Speaker 1: off with your teeth. And they went away and came
Speaker 1: back for a little bit like maybe in the early
Speaker 1: two thousands, but they're gone again. But that's that was.
Speaker 1: That was a stationary store staple in the candy rack.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, yeah, I don't Yeah, I'm just trying to
Speaker 2: think carefree remember care for jefree is okay y, yeah,
Speaker 2: at leastn'll make carefree, I think, But it was like
Speaker 2: they used to have all kinds of random fruit flap.
Speaker 1: My mom always used to have the fruit flavor and
Speaker 1: the cinnamon. It was the orange and the red and
Speaker 1: she would click it. I always remember clicking her freaking gum.
Speaker 2: Oh, let me tell you something. My mom does that too,
Speaker 2: but gum, Like, here's the biggest scam, gum. Juicy fruit.
Speaker 2: Juicy fruit is a scam.
Speaker 1: Juicy fruit is gonna move you. It's got the taste
Speaker 1: that gets right to you. Juicy fruit, the taste, the taste,
Speaker 1: the taste is gonna move you.
Speaker 2: No, no, no idea what you're saying.
Speaker 1: The red kiss a little longer, a little longer, yeah,
Speaker 1: huh yeah. And so is doublemint.
Speaker 2: Well, there were always a quarter, there was there were
Speaker 2: quarter and that's package, that's right. But juicy fruit of
Speaker 2: the three was the biggest scam. You get like the
Speaker 2: really good flavor for about a second and then all
Speaker 2: of a sudden it would just be like I am
Speaker 2: chewing paper.
Speaker 1: That's right. How about fruit stripe?
Speaker 2: Oh, the biggest that's an even bigger scam.
Speaker 1: With the zebra on it. That's that's long gone. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure they had been.
Speaker 2: It was in the shape of band aids. They made
Speaker 2: it look like a band aid container.
Speaker 1: No, fruit stripe. No, was in a regular gum pack.
Speaker 2: Maybe later later and you maybe when they did deluxe ones.
Speaker 1: No, that wasn't fruit stripe. I think I know what
Speaker 1: you're talking about. And like bubble tape may have had
Speaker 1: something that looked like a band aid maybe never bubble tape.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Hubba Bubba meant bubble tape.
Speaker 1: No, Hubba Bubba was not bubble tape.
Speaker 2: Bubble tape, I don't know with the dispenser bubble tape. Okay,
Speaker 2: the bubble tape had a blueberry flavor.
Speaker 1: Maybe there were and double bubble too. Yes, Bazuka was
Speaker 1: the original. Yeah, stupid Buzuka Joe comics. I used to
Speaker 1: save those things and get like a water gun dumb.
Speaker 2: That's when they used to give out prizes.
Speaker 1: You used to have to save the comics and send
Speaker 1: away with like a quarter, and they would send you
Speaker 1: a plastic piece of crap.
Speaker 2: I think I never did any of those contests.
Speaker 1: Hello, ever, I do every one of them, and I
Speaker 1: still do. When I was a kid, I would send
Speaker 1: away rappers and labels and UPCs and quarters and you
Speaker 1: know what, at the end of the day. And I
Speaker 1: think I've mentioned this before, I just loved getting mail
Speaker 1: and packages, you know, so I didn't care what it was.
Speaker 1: I would send away for every little piece of crap
Speaker 1: in the back of a comic book or whatever, extra
Speaker 1: rate glasses, all that bs. I used to send away
Speaker 1: for everything. If there was like on the back of
Speaker 1: a cereal box, send two UPCs and fifty cents. I
Speaker 1: get a Tony the tiger whistle I was in. I
Speaker 1: sent away for it didn't matter.
Speaker 2: And then you used that whistle for two minutes and
Speaker 2: then said great.
Speaker 1: No, well then it broke No, I said, great, Well,
Speaker 1: I mean you set me up for that.
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 2: It was my fault.
Speaker 1: That was the layup.
Speaker 2: If we're talking basketball, which's right, fine, I don't.
Speaker 1: Know me neither.
Speaker 2: So I played basketball.
Speaker 1: I didn't really what such a jerk did. I played
Speaker 1: some sports like Brody likes to make fun of me,
Speaker 1: you know, I played like. I played floor hockey. I
Speaker 1: played soccer for many years. I played a little league.
Speaker 1: I played baseball. Yeah, you know, but I wasn't. I
Speaker 1: wasn't a sports guy. Yeah, if that makes sense. Same
Speaker 1: I was always the guy that was picked last. In Jim,
Speaker 1: I was always on the C team. You know, there
Speaker 1: was a guy there with like a prosthetic leg that
Speaker 1: couldn't walk, and they picked him before me. So I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's the story of my sports career, of my
Speaker 1: like middle school sports, it was always like, ugh, God,
Speaker 1: who gets Scott? He's last? You get him. We don't
Speaker 1: want him, You take him. It was that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Is that why you went through your high school rebellious
Speaker 2: phase where you with light fireworks and like.
Speaker 1: But no, here's the thing. I never did the bad stuff.
Speaker 1: I made other people do bad stuff. That was my
Speaker 1: quote in my yearbook two. You know, a smart person
Speaker 1: is someone that doesn't do things but makes people do
Speaker 1: things or something like that. Thomas Edison said that I forget.
Speaker 1: Someone said that I forget.
Speaker 2: Should I be expecting you on like making a Murderer
Speaker 2: season two?
Speaker 1: Because it's entirely possible. It's entirely possible. But yeah, No.
Speaker 1: From the store that I worked at, with all the candy,
Speaker 1: I would like, okay, steal boxes of gum, you know,
Speaker 1: And so I would always have packs of gum in
Speaker 1: my lockers. So I was the gum guy, and I
Speaker 1: would just give out gum, you know. So it was
Speaker 1: very popular. I wasn't a sports player, but I was
Speaker 1: popular amongst.
Speaker 2: Maybe you should go on Survivor Scott. Maybe you'd have
Speaker 2: everyone going under your tutelage. I guess it seems like
Speaker 2: maybe you have that power.
Speaker 1: I mean, there was that one time when I packed
Speaker 1: my locker full of rotten fruit and jarred like herring
Speaker 1: and vinegar and mayonnaise and broke it in the hallway
Speaker 1: and got suspended.
Speaker 2: There was that What did you do on your suspension?
Speaker 1: You just sat in the room with all the derelics
Speaker 1: and I played with my Cassio phone dialer watch, which
Speaker 1: was all the rage back then. What you would you
Speaker 1: would take the phone receiver. Okay, so think of your
Speaker 1: address book in your iPhone. Now, yeah, okay, so you
Speaker 1: had the same type. I mean, it wasn't the same type,
Speaker 1: but you had addresses phone numbers in your watch and
Speaker 1: your Casio watch. Cassio was huge in the eighties. Everyone
Speaker 1: had a Casio watch, but this one was a phone dialer.
Speaker 1: So what you would do is you would have the
Speaker 1: person's phone number in your watch and you would like
Speaker 1: pick up the payphone, put a quarter in and then
Speaker 1: hold the receiver to your watch and press it and
Speaker 1: I would go.
Speaker 2: Be boo boop beebe boope boo boo boop, and.
Speaker 1: It would ring, and that dialed it for you. So unnecessary,
Speaker 1: but it dialed it for you. That was the beginning
Speaker 1: of the days of you not remembering phone numbers because
Speaker 1: they were in your watch.
Speaker 2: Whoait? So, like, how did the phone pick up the number?
Speaker 1: Because it's the tones. The tones is what dials on
Speaker 1: a phone. I mean, no one even knows who that
Speaker 1: is anymore, because you know, cell phones don't dial, but
Speaker 1: you know when you have to press one or press
Speaker 1: two for this, it's that tone that activates it. So yeah,
Speaker 1: and then I would just sit in class and it
Speaker 1: would go be boo boom be boo boo boo boom,
Speaker 1: and I would get in trouble again because my phone,
Speaker 1: my watch was making phone sounds. You know.
Speaker 2: So did you have the big suitcase cell phone?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: No, get a cell phone for a while and guess.
Speaker 1: Well no, I had a cell phone in in high
Speaker 1: school really, which was which was very early on. I
Speaker 1: was I was probably sixteen or seventeen. I scammed my
Speaker 1: mom into going to Westbury Camera, I remember, and because
Speaker 1: I was under age, so I couldn't sign this. Back then,
Speaker 1: it was a contract you had to like sign your
Speaker 1: life away, you know. And and and we talked about this.
Speaker 1: The rates were so expensive whatever. So I just say, hey, Mom,
Speaker 1: I just need you to sign this. Come to the
Speaker 1: store with me, you know. So she came and she
Speaker 1: just signed it. She's like, what am I signing? Don't worry,
Speaker 1: I'm getting you a present, you know. And so I
Speaker 1: paid with my somehow I had a credit card I
Speaker 1: don't know, and it was mine and so I paid
Speaker 1: for it, and that's it. I had a cell phone
Speaker 1: probably when I was I think seventeen, which would have
Speaker 1: been nineteen ninety two or so, so it was still
Speaker 1: pretty preliminary. I still have that phone. It's a brick.
Speaker 1: It's not like the Zach Martin Giant. Yeah, eighties one.
Speaker 1: It wasn't that. It was. I mean maybe it was
Speaker 1: like six inches five or six inches tall. It's pretty heavy.
Speaker 1: The battery was huge, and it was a Panasonic and
Speaker 1: I still have it somewhere.
Speaker 2: And you know, it probably looks like the landlines from today.
Speaker 2: Not landlines, but like the ones there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the cordless yeah, yeah, something like that. But it
Speaker 1: was heavy.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: It was heavy, Yeah, because I remember driving that time
Speaker 1: when I lived in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I remember driving
Speaker 1: and I was just excited that I had a phone
Speaker 1: with me just in case, because I broke down in Columbus,
Speaker 1: Ohio one time.
Speaker 2: Why.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was on Route eighty and I was going
Speaker 1: up a hill after I got out of a rest area,
Speaker 1: and it was like, and it's just my truck just
Speaker 1: broke down on the side of the road, and I
Speaker 1: was scared.
Speaker 2: Sound effects for things are so funny. Is that your
Speaker 2: car breaking down? That's pretty much what happened.
Speaker 1: And I just since I was on an incline, I
Speaker 1: just put it in neutral and I backed down back
Speaker 1: into the rest area and I was stuck there. It
Speaker 1: was it.
Speaker 2: You had a cell phone, so that's good I did,
Speaker 2: But I just went.
Speaker 1: And used the payphone in the gas station. I don't know,
Speaker 1: because I probably needed a phone book to call somebody.
Speaker 2: So true. Yeah, it wasn't like you could store things
Speaker 2: in there.
Speaker 1: That was such a fiasco. Yeah, Like they towed me
Speaker 1: to a dealership. It was a Sunday, so of course
Speaker 1: they weren't open, So then I had to take a
Speaker 1: taxi to the airport so I could fly home to
Speaker 1: New York because I was halfway in between.
Speaker 2: Was that your car that you left?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I left it at the car at the Chevy dealership,
Speaker 1: so they had to figure out what was wrong and
Speaker 1: fix it. Meanwhile I was in New York and I
Speaker 1: had to fly back to Columbus to pick up my car.
Speaker 2: It was just so crazy.
Speaker 1: At eighteen years old, it was just a really weird
Speaker 1: It was just a weird thing.
Speaker 2: It's crazy how many steps used to have to be
Speaker 2: involved in things, like even the simple as things like
Speaker 2: now you could just order food off of Seamless. You
Speaker 2: could order food off of Uber Eats. You could just
Speaker 2: there's so many things. But before you I'd have to
Speaker 2: pick up the phone, call, give your address.
Speaker 1: Well, see, back then though, you rarely even thought about delivery, delivery.
Speaker 1: The only one that literally delivered back then was like Dominoes,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I mean some restaurants would I
Speaker 1: guess they would have a delivery guy. But delivery twenty
Speaker 1: five years ago, thirty years ago is not as huge
Speaker 1: as it is now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like the concept of an Amazon was not around
Speaker 2: up until even when I was a kid, Like I
Speaker 2: remember when I was finally when I finally got Amazon
Speaker 2: was two thousand and seven, and I can tell you
Speaker 2: what my first purchase was. It was a microscope.
Speaker 1: A microscope. Yeah, I know, we've talked about this on
Speaker 1: the show before, and Elvis had everybody go back and
Speaker 1: look at the very first thing they mind.
Speaker 2: Two thousand and seven, and I know that there's a
Speaker 2: way that if you go on you just go to
Speaker 2: your Okay, so you're on the Amazon app, right, yeah, go.
Speaker 1: To your orders, right it says I've reached the end
Speaker 1: of my orders. There used to be a thing where
Speaker 1: you could, oh hear filter, go to filter, and then
Speaker 1: go by year. Okay, mine goes all the nineteen ninety
Speaker 1: five was the very first time I bought on Amazon.
Speaker 1: Shut up, yeah, and the oh away, well see no,
Speaker 1: maybe not it's no transactions found. Hold on, let me
Speaker 1: try that again. So sorry.
Speaker 2: My first purchase in two thousand and seven was not
Speaker 2: that it was a Belkan headphone splitter. Oh well, when
Speaker 2: you used to need headphones.
Speaker 1: The fact that mine was so long ago leaves me
Speaker 1: to believe that it was probably a book because that's
Speaker 1: what they used to do. Amazon used to be books.
Speaker 1: That's how they started, right. Yeah, So let's go back
Speaker 1: to nineteen ninety seven no orders. I'm so confused.
Speaker 2: What did I buy in two thousand and eight? Two
Speaker 2: thousand and eight, I bought The Sixth Day, the Arnold
Speaker 2: Schwarzenegger movie where He's a Clone. I loved that movie
Speaker 2: and I couldn't find it anywhere. And it was at
Speaker 2: that weird point in my life where my mom was like,
Speaker 2: do you really need another DVD? And you go to
Speaker 2: Best Buy and it was like, why would we have
Speaker 2: the Sixth Day?
Speaker 1: So I cut it off Amazon on My very first
Speaker 1: purchase was August sixteenth, nineteen ninety eight. It was a
Speaker 1: book called How to Get Your Pet Into Show Business.

Speaker 2: far back of history yep.

Speaker 1: Guide to Movie Shooting. I had to say hold on
Speaker 1: a second. September sixth, nineteen ninety eight. Cereal Boxes and
Speaker 1: Prizes nineteen sixties. What look at that? Seeow? Yeah? And
Speaker 1: you just think that cereal is just a fad for me.
