18
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: walk in and buy something I don't need. And sometimes

19
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 2: I buy the stuff that my mom wouldn't buy me

20
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: because back to school time, and I didn't like school

21
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: very much. My mom would pretty much let me have

22
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: anything I wanted at the office supply story. Get ready

23
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: for school because she wanted me to get excited. Same

24
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 2: with clothes, you know, she'd let me go get a

25
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: bunch of outfits and stuff because she figured, well, I'm

26
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 2: gonna bribe this kid one way or the other. But

27
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: there were certain things she would not get me. The

28
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: really expensive mechanical pencils, the one with a little button

29
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: on the side. She's like, you're gonna lose those, and

30
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: she was right. So she get me the big ones

31
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: that had like a different little color clip on them.

32
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: So I had a lot of those, but I never

33
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: so now every now and again I'll go buy the

34
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: really expensive mechanical pencil. They probably have fifty of them,

35
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 2: just because I got big boy money. Now, you know

36
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, I got expended.

37
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 3: There was nothing better than sharpening a pencil at school,

38
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 3: you know, showing off your fit, you know, just walking

39
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,880

00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: Is there are people listening now who probably don't even

44
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: know what we're talking about, right, They've never sharpened a

45
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: pencil on their line, Well, that for sure, But Anyway,

00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: the shipping, like people will order stuff like inks and

52
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 2: pens and whatever, and then he'll fill the order on

53
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 2: TikTok and then pretend to go out in front of

54
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: the store and kick it. People ask for this goofy

55
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: it is. He's a goofy guy. He's a wild guy.

56
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 2: But anyway, he recently posted let me show you a

57
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: picture of what he posted, and I'm texting with him

58
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: about it. Look at this. Look at what this is.

59
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 2: This is a box of maybe I don't know how many.

60
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: There are maybe fifty pens of every color. It's one kit.

61
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 2: It's like the crayon box that had, you know, the

62
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: big one. Yeah, but it's like it's pens and it

63
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: has every single color. And it made me a little honey.

64
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: And I texted him and was like I need that,

65
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: and he's like, come get that, and so I'm going

66
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: to go get that. But my wor I'm going with

67
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: this is and every now and again I asked this question.

68
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: But the older.

69
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: I get, the more I'm impressed by the most basic things,

70
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: Like it just doesn't require much to excite me anymore,

71
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 2: And I'm just wondering, like, what what have you found

72
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: that's very basic that really gets you going as a

73
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: grown up that never would have done much for you

74
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: as a kid.

75
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 4: New carpet, new car. I love some fresh carpet.

76
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: Like brand new. Yes, yeah, I.

77
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 4: Don't know why. I love like a new carpet. I

78
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 4: like a new vacuum. I just got one not too

79
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 4: long ago, and it just really I don't know, it

80
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 4: took me to a.

81
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: Place like if somebody bought me a dice, and I

82
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: might lose my damn mind. I don't even have carpet,

83
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: so I don't know how much that would help me.

84
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: I need it. Yeah, no, yeah, but like a dice

85
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: and a ball technology you kidding me?

86
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: You would love your room, ba I probably do need one,

87
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: you do, But what is it for you guys like

88
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: I don't. I mean, the most basic stuff excites me,

89
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: like the first cup of coffee every day.

90
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 5: It's the best I like we talked about I like

91
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 5: getting mail, like if the mail comes to me today,

92
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 5: like I was like, oh, and it's could be nothing.

93
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 5: But I just like getting mail and opening whatever it is.

94
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 5: I don't know what it is. And yeah, before you

95
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 5: be like I don't want any mail because it's bills

96
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 5: or whatever.

97
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: Right, it's not normally, it's not like anyone resident I

98
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: like getting married now.

99
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 2: Right. He likes mail so much that he does that

100
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: thing where he can see what male's coming before it

101
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 2: even show.

102
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 6: I mean, I spent and our coworker Maris, who we

103
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 6: talk about sometimes made fun of me. I spent weeks

104
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 6: shopping for a new electric toothbrush. I was looking at

105
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 6: you know, the colors, the heads, like the features, and

106
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 6: he was like, you still haven't bought this, and it's

107
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 6: like I can afford it, but I wanted to just

108
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 6: get it just right, and I'm in the.

109
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: Market for one. I'd like to know what you decided.

Speaker 1: I'll show you. Yeah, you have to show them what

111
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: you decided, since it was it was endorsed by OBJ,

112
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: like the one that I chose. I don't know why,

113
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, he's fine.

114

00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: mom now all kinds of stuff. It's just I don't

116
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: know why the most. It doesn't take much anymore to

117
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: excite me.

118
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: It really doesn't.

119
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 7: So I use my calendar for everything, like I'll put

120
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 7: it like, you know whatever, I have something to do, appointments.

121
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: I bought a planner calendar yesterday that.

122
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 7: Says, give me an fing minute, speaking of being a mom, Yeah,

123
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 7: give me an fing minute. I paid like three five

124
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 7: dollars for this piece of paper that I'm not gonna use.

125
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 7: I'm still gonna use my phone calendars. It's how I

126
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 7: know what I have going on. But I'm gonna go

127
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 7: on my calendar. I'm gonna write stuff down now just

128
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 7: to say I did it, and then just close it

129
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 7: and probably never look at it again.

130
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: But it makes make me so happy when it arrives.

131
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: It's like fresh, it's clean.

132
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 7: The smell of it, and then to think that I

133
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 7: have things to do makes me happy.

134
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: Well. I always buy these fancy notebooks like this and

135
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: like this one. I'm like I put in the studio.

136
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna write down all my ideas as they come

137
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: to me. I carry another fancy one in my backpack.

138
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: I probably got four on my desk at home, and

139
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 2: it's with the best intention, Like we're content people, so

140
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 2: like I'm going to carry it around and when I

141
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: come up with something, I forget ninety percent of the

142
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 2: things that come into my brain.

143
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: Oh, Ruvio's got one too ye in here, and I'm just.

144
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 2: Gonna write it down and guess what, I don't because

145
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 2: I'm I don't want to mess it up because it's

146
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: a brand new notebook and I don't want to mess

147
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 2: it up. There's so much responsibility to write in a

148
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: brand new notebook. Yeah, and what if I don't write

149
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: it properly and then I mess up the whole brain

150
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 2: it's perfect and then I screw it up. So I

151
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 2: just have tons of notebooks that I've never written in

152
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: because I will uh huh.

153
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to mess them up. Oh wow, you

154
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: got it like every color every year? Damn right, I do. Yeah,

155
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: but I don't want to write it in them. No can.

156
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 2: So I'll be stopping by later and picking up the
