Speaker 1: Three.
Speaker 2: Can I just tell you how annoyed I am?
Speaker 1: Yes? How annoyed are you today? Scott?
Speaker 2: Hold on? Oh boy, can I just tell you how
Speaker 2: annoyed I am?
Speaker 1: Yes, how annoyed?
Speaker 2: Hold On? Can I just tell you how annoyed I am?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: So annoyed. Well, we just did, like I don't know,
Speaker 2: a good ten minutes of a podcast sick okay six
Speaker 2: five five? Yeah, and it just all got deleted.
Speaker 1: Yeah that computer.
Speaker 2: Stupid technology.
Speaker 1: Stupid technology. Well, welcome to another episode of Bah Bah bullchit?
Speaker 2: Did I do it in the whole thing again? How
Speaker 2: my wife hates that? And we need to start.
Speaker 1: Amy love you? Amy does not like the bah part.
Speaker 1: So I want to do a Wayne's World jingle instead?
Speaker 1: Bullshit party time conversation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's no, nothing like that. Yeah, it's a blatant ripoff.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so doing it to a Jonas Brothers song
Speaker 1: or material girl is not a blatant ripoff. So I
Speaker 1: don't even remember how I don't want to do this now, Scott.
Speaker 2: It's very very upsetting.
Speaker 1: Get your head back in the game. I can't talk
Speaker 1: about deceptive ad practice.
Speaker 2: We were going to talk about deceptive ad practices, but
Speaker 2: of course I got sidetracked and I started talking about
Speaker 2: bicycles and psoriasis. Yes, so in a nutshell, I'll tell
Speaker 2: you what we were talking about. I was riding my
Speaker 2: bike with my daughters the other day. Yes, do you
Speaker 2: have a bike, Yes, I have a bike. I actually
Speaker 2: wanted in that iHeart contest from last summer from Priority Bikes.
Speaker 2: Love that bike and believe it or not.
Speaker 3: Oh, what were you going to do?
Speaker 2: Well, So my dermatologist is doing a bike athon, Yeah,
Speaker 2: charity bikethon, and I was like, I want to do
Speaker 2: a charity bikethon and it's out to the Hampton, So
Speaker 2: how cool would that have been? But I didn't It's
Speaker 2: for sariasis, yeah, which I didn't realize was such a
Speaker 2: big thing. But I guess a dermatologist would really care
Speaker 2: about sarriasis. Yes, I just thought it was a rash,
Speaker 2: put some cream on it, call today. But I mean
Speaker 2: it's really a serious thing and a lot of people
Speaker 2: are affected by it, so it would have been really
Speaker 2: cool to raise money for siasis research. However, it was
Speaker 2: on May first, which was now a couple of days ago, right,
Speaker 2: is that right? A couple days ago?
Speaker 1: It's Cooper's birthday.
Speaker 2: Oh, today's May fifth. Yeah, okay, so we'll get to
Speaker 2: that in a second. But anyway, the pithon gative topics.
Speaker 2: The pothon was canceled because of permitting issues. So I
Speaker 2: was very excited to do it, and now I'm just
Speaker 2: gonna have to wait because hopefully it's going to be rescheduled.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I feel like you also don't want to
Speaker 1: ride your bike too late in the summer because, let
Speaker 1: me tell you something, a July bike ride just sounds
Speaker 1: like literal torture to me.
Speaker 2: Well, no, it was going to be May, and now
Speaker 2: it's supposed to be September, which would be cool.
Speaker 1: Nice good, Yeah, breezy, you get some of that breeze back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so look forward to sponsoring me for Sariasis. Even
Speaker 2: a dollar would be great. If we have, like I
Speaker 2: don't know, eighty listeners. That's eighty bucks. That's pretty good. Yeah,
Speaker 2: do we have eighty listeners? Andrew?
Speaker 1: Yeah, without a doubt.
Speaker 2: Right, So back to deceptive advertising, because you've all experienced it,
Speaker 2: whether you get a phone call or an email or
Speaker 2: a text, or if you're riding your bike with your
Speaker 2: children and in the street you see this fifty dollars,
Speaker 2: So of course, you know me, I was like fifty
Speaker 2: dollars and I went I picked it up. It was
Speaker 2: like cool, but it was wrapped around a piece of
Speaker 2: paper and it had coupons on the back. That's such
Speaker 2: bs and very illegal, I might add, it is illegal,
Speaker 2: incredibly illegal. This is not even like a fake looking
Speaker 2: This is an act hold on that you can see
Speaker 2: through it. This is not even like a fake looking
Speaker 2: fifty dollars bills. They freaking copied it and put it
Speaker 2: on the front of a coupon thing for a junk company.
Speaker 2: See now what I want to do? And I hate
Speaker 2: to be that guy, but I think I might be
Speaker 2: that guy.
Speaker 1: Are you going to report them?
Speaker 2: I'm going to call the Secret Service and I'm going
Speaker 2: to say, dude, this is not okay.
Speaker 1: So the person who won't email serial companies Instaid chooses
Speaker 1: to DM them suddenly has the number to Secret Service.
Speaker 2: I'm going to reach out to them online.
Speaker 1: Also, why the Secret Service, because they're the ones that
Speaker 1: investigate this, not the Federal Trade Commission. No, this is
Speaker 1: not Federal Trade. This is Secret Service. Why would Secret
Speaker 1: Service get involved.
Speaker 2: Federal Trade would be DECEPTI deceptive advertising, but Secret Service
Speaker 2: would be counterfeit money. Do you remember you? I don't
Speaker 2: think you were here. Many years ago, Greg t Photo
Speaker 2: copied a five dollar bill on the color copy machine
Speaker 2: and went outside with it. He didn't try to spend it,
Speaker 2: but he took it outside and he was like what whatever?
Speaker 2: And the Secret Service came to the radio station and
Speaker 2: sat him down in a room and had a conversation
Speaker 2: with him, serious conversation. This was not a bit and
Speaker 2: so it's very serious. But this is incredibly not okay.
Speaker 1: What's funny to me is that did you save that
Speaker 1: Secret Service person's phone number? Is that who you're gonna call?
Speaker 2: I might, I might have the business cards. Lead I
Speaker 2: might have the business cards, but I don't want to
Speaker 2: be attached to it because I don't want this junk
Speaker 2: company on Long Island to be like, uh yeah, and
Speaker 2: they'll dump junk on my lawn.
Speaker 1: You know, thank god that we are not on a
Speaker 1: podcast that people listen to and know you're Scottie b
Speaker 1: and they're gonna trace.
Speaker 2: It back to this. Yeah. But that's why I'm not
Speaker 2: going to say it. I'm not going to do it.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say, hey, get your ish together.
Speaker 1: You're not going to go full Karen.
Speaker 2: No, Carl. I thought it was Carl.
Speaker 1: I thought Chad.
Speaker 2: Is it Chad?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't think the male version of Karen was Carl.
Speaker 1: I haven't heard that one.
Speaker 2: Okay, So what's up next on the docket, Andrew, Well, you.
Speaker 1: Were about to bring something else. Cooper's birthday.
Speaker 2: Oh, happy birthday, Cooper. Yes, Cinco to Mayo, Cinco to
Speaker 2: Mayo Buenos Dias, Philes, Coopliano Cooper.
Speaker 1: It is Michelle a survivor?
Speaker 2: Michelle?
Speaker 3: Did I know that?
Speaker 2: I don't know I did, because I think when we
Speaker 2: weren't they both in the same room at one point,
Speaker 2: maybe she was like synco to my birthday girl, something
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: Something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe, but we you know, I've mentioned in previous
Speaker 2: podcasts that we had her born on May fifth on purpose.
Speaker 1: And your other child is born on eleven. Uh, it's
Speaker 1: eleven seven?
Speaker 2: Come on, what's eleven seven? What does that have to
Speaker 2: do with anything? What would be the easiest eleven date?
Speaker 1: Eleven eleven?
Speaker 2: Very good?
Speaker 1: Andrew, make a wish? Yeah, yeah, Veterans Day always Amy
Speaker 1: is the eighth, and you're the sixth of August.
Speaker 2: Very good.
Speaker 1: And when's mine?
Speaker 2: April twenty ninth? Still wrong, April thirtieth.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 2: Hey, I was much much closer, said.
Speaker 1: I know your children now, and I know your wife.
Speaker 1: Are you ser sometime in June?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Fifteenth? Very nice.
Speaker 1: It's actually that's a lot you don't know it's June fifteenth.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it is, because the last time I
Speaker 1: brought up birthdays, you were like, it's sometime.
Speaker 2: All right, what else do you gotta talk about today? Andrew?
Speaker 2: We're only six minutes in. Come on, here's a question. Oh,
Speaker 2: you don't have anything prepared.
Speaker 1: Well, we don't need to have things prepared. We're just
Speaker 1: doing this off the cup. We're like two flag guys.
Speaker 2: Okay, I do have to leave short. They have to
Speaker 2: pick up Astley from school.
Speaker 1: Did you watch Gud'silliver's King Kong?
Speaker 2: Did not? It's not my thing?
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 2: Plus it's also Kong? Right? I saw the billboard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, God's Oliver's Kong.
Speaker 2: It was so good. I'm not into this.
Speaker 1: It's so good. I take that back. It's a good
Speaker 1: bad movie.
Speaker 2: I'm not into those movies.
Speaker 1: What kind of movies? What was the last movie you watched?
Speaker 1: Did you watch any of the Oscar contenders.
Speaker 2: What was it called a perfect something girl? She's a
Speaker 2: scorn woman? Yes, was it good? It was wonderful. Really,
Speaker 2: I really liked it. Okay, I just say wonderful. I
Speaker 2: mean it was really good. It was a it was
Speaker 2: a it was a really good movie. This is now
Speaker 2: a movie podcast. No, I liked it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wanted to see that one.
Speaker 2: You should.
Speaker 1: I've heard it was good.
Speaker 2: It's interesting though, because they call it the description is
Speaker 2: a romantic comedy.
Speaker 1: But doesn't she kill people?
Speaker 2: It is not a comedy at all. I may have
Speaker 2: giggled once or twice. Remember those cookies in the eighties, giggles.
Speaker 2: I have no idea what you're talking. You don't remember
Speaker 2: giggles from Zibisco ding No.
Speaker 1: I remember the slogan Nubisco, but I don't remember giggles.
Speaker 2: Giggles were I mean, they were probably around it till
Speaker 2: the early to mid nineties. It was a short bread
Speaker 2: cookie almost you know, it was a sandwich there. It
Speaker 2: was a sandwich cookie.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And there were different faces cut out, like you know,
Speaker 2: so there was like it was two eyes in the mouth. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and it was cut out and it was cream inside.
Speaker 2: So it was vanilla or was chocolate or is vanilla
Speaker 2: chocolate cream? And it was called giggles.
Speaker 1: Have not seen those, have never even heard of those.
Speaker 1: I really love the moonpie ones.
Speaker 2: Those aren't cookies though, Yeah they are moon pies.
Speaker 1: Are it's you're gonna stop the recording.
Speaker 2: I just know it's gonna have the description of the item.
Speaker 2: It is not a cookie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess you're right on that. You know, sometimes
Speaker 1: I get ahead of myself. I just don't think. But
Speaker 1: I love moon pies. They're so delicious, they are pretty good.
Speaker 1: They're so bad for you, though, Eh, you know what,
Speaker 1: anything that's good is bad?
Speaker 2: Does that make it?
Speaker 1: I guess you're right.
Speaker 2: Oh, I've just knocked over a bowl of nothing. Here,
Speaker 2: listen to this, Andrew, what Scott? It's coming?
Speaker 1: What's coming?
Speaker 2: Scott?
Speaker 3: I like cookies because we've got two kinds of cream inside.
Speaker 3: He likes giggles, funny faces. There's a fludge of vanilla
Speaker 3: cream in each one, stupid kid, kinds of cream in
Speaker 3: each funny face? Are you going to eat that money?
Speaker 1: It looks like you've enjoyed the commercial. I've just heard
Speaker 1: a child laughing.
Speaker 2: Remember that.
Speaker 1: I love the old Nimbisco thing. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So anyway, it was cookies and they just had
Speaker 2: some kid just laugh. Yeah, stupid kid.
Speaker 1: Well you can see why that didn't last a while.
Speaker 2: This dumb computer. What else you got, buddy? We were
Speaker 2: talking about something else and I interrupted with cook Giggles cookies.
Speaker 1: I was talking about on Ziliver's King Kong. We were
Speaker 1: talking about promising young woman. Yes, I don't know how
Speaker 1: Giggles gave it the conversation.
Speaker 2: I really don't either.
Speaker 1: It just goes to show you how random it is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's bull chat for you, good old bowl chat.
Speaker 2: While we're doing bull chat. Yeah, can I I need
Speaker 2: something to put this on?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: What can I can you put there?
Speaker 1: Look it's done, It's done.
Speaker 2: Okay, great, thank you. It's gonna fall. But yeah, so
Speaker 2: I bought something for us that we could, you know,
Speaker 2: just kind of snack on around the bowl. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 2: where'd it go?
Speaker 1: Is it right there?
Speaker 2: No, it's cereal related, even though this is not the
Speaker 2: serial podcast.
Speaker 1: Look at that remix.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's s'mores Golden Graham's remix.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I had recently that I found out?
Speaker 1: I love crepes? I've never been a crepe skuy crape before.
Speaker 1: I don't think i've ever, like, seriously like dove into
Speaker 1: a crape.
Speaker 2: Have you ever had a Blintz? No?
Speaker 1: What's that?
Speaker 2: Those are spectacular?
Speaker 1: What's that?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: I mean it technically is a crape, but it is,
Speaker 2: you know, you find them a lot in Jewish delis.
Speaker 2: They are I don't know how to explain it. It's
Speaker 2: a it's a it's a tubular looking thing oblong I
Speaker 2: guess maybe oval almost, and it's phil it's creepy, and
Speaker 2: it's filled with usually sweet cheese. I don't know if
Speaker 2: it's it's not ricotta, but it's like it's a it's
Speaker 2: sweet when you it's sweet cheese. I don't have us
Speaker 2: to explain it. It's delicious. It looks like ricotta cheese,
Speaker 2: but I don't believe it is. And you put it
Speaker 2: in sour cream or whatever. And then they also have
Speaker 2: ones filled with cherry or apple or potato. I like
Speaker 2: those as well.
Speaker 1: So it's almost like a perogi crape hybrid.
Speaker 2: Yeah I would say that, but you don't really see
Speaker 2: cherry parogis. But it's I love a good stick your
Speaker 2: hand out, okay. Yeah. One of our listeners actually suggested
Speaker 2: that we sit around and eat snacks while we bowl chat.
Speaker 1: Oh, I can bring a snack next time. No, I
Speaker 1: don't want to go to my We should have done
Speaker 1: potato chips.
Speaker 2: I didn't realize it was going to be snink up
Speaker 2: to my own till right now. All right, chip potato chips.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, don't play the chips theme.
Speaker 2: We don't play that on this show.
Speaker 1: No, we already have, I believe. I gotta tell you.
Speaker 1: Not a fan of eating just dry cereal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you know, at the end of the day
Speaker 2: it's still just cereal, is just without milk. They're repackaging
Speaker 2: stuff as snacks left and right.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense. No. Also, I know people when
Speaker 1: we went out to dinner recently, they eat the Cereal plane.
Speaker 1: They pour themselves a bowl and drink a cup of
Speaker 1: milk on the side that.
Speaker 2: You would do with giggles, not with Cereal.
Speaker 1: I don't get it, Like this is this Like I
Speaker 1: wouldn't dive into this as a snack. I wouldn't. I
Speaker 1: don't like. This doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 2: It might be different just because we are Cereal. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I am a Cereal aficionado. So I don't really eat
Speaker 2: cereal as snacks, but some normal, regular non cereal people
Speaker 2: might just be like, eh, you know people eat it
Speaker 2: for dinner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like, I know, people eat it for dinner.
Speaker 1: But this is like, I don't know. This is dry.
Speaker 1: It's like a Chex mix, but not in all the
Speaker 1: way Checks Mix, dude.
Speaker 2: It's not even close to Chex mix. Checks miss checks
Speaker 2: mix is savory. But what I'm saying of there's nothing
Speaker 2: checksy about this at all except that it's made by
Speaker 2: the same company that's it the companies.
Speaker 1: That can I see the bag really quick? No, no,
Speaker 1: I just have to see it. I think I see
Speaker 1: something on it.
Speaker 2: No, no, No, it's okay.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's say at the same time one, two, three posts.
Speaker 2: No, it's General General Milks.
Speaker 1: O h, it's General Mills.
Speaker 2: Look I said it.
Speaker 1: I said that. It meant that I need to post
Speaker 1: myself to General Mills.
Speaker 2: I got it. What else you got, Andrew? Let's roll
Speaker 2: along because you know I got to get a parking
Speaker 2: ticket here pretty soon.
Speaker 1: I've already probably got one because you didn't tell me. Yes,
Speaker 1: here's a good one. Do you like spicy foods?
Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of spicy foods. However, Okay, my
Speaker 2: wife Amy, over the years has gotten me to eat
Speaker 2: spicy earth things, and I plot her for that because
Speaker 2: growing up, I'll just say, my family was pretty bland.
Speaker 2: There was not a lot of spice on things. Mayo
Speaker 2: is a spy, no, but you know, very little salting
Speaker 2: and no. I enjoyed food growing up, but I enjoy
Speaker 2: it more now because of spices, you know. So there
Speaker 2: are some things I like, Like last night we went
Speaker 2: to a taco place, dirty taco. Okay, it was delicious,
Speaker 2: and I had some crazy spicy carnita taco, right carnita. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's poork, isn't it.
Speaker 1: I liked your little accent on that we had a carnita.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I got to tell you that's something that kind of
Speaker 2: makes me annoyed. Like people will be talking like straight up,
Speaker 2: so how are you today? Like you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: Like they add the accent in the middle of like
Speaker 2: a full on, very very you know, English sounding sentence
Speaker 2: and then they just add an accent.
Speaker 1: So it would have been like when I was talking
Speaker 1: about crapes, being like Scott, you know what I found out.
Speaker 1: I love crips.
Speaker 2: I love crips so much, exactly, Like, if that's not
Speaker 2: how you always talk, don't just add it in for
Speaker 2: a fact.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you know the same thing goes, you know,
Speaker 1: if I were talking about when we were mentioning cripes,
Speaker 1: if I went to bitolkies, Yes, exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It always makes me stop and be like, I don't
Speaker 1: know if you think it sounds smarter, but to me,
Speaker 1: I'm confused.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just add a tilda to something while you're
Speaker 2: talking that you wouldn't normally add a tilda to.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I also can't roll my rs, so I've always
Speaker 1: felt like I've been jaded by that. Like in Spanish class,
Speaker 1: they'd be like, roll your rs and so it'd be
Speaker 1: like senorita. But that's how it sounds like to me.
Speaker 2: Did you have a Spanish name in Spanish class? Andres Andres? Yeah,
Speaker 2: mine was Sergio?
Speaker 3: What so?
Speaker 2: I was so I serrio o la?
Speaker 1: Your name was seriously Sergio?
Speaker 2: Yeah? And in Hebrew school it was Shalom.
Speaker 1: Wait, okay, so what what would my name be in Hebrew? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Uh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Okay, this is gonna sound real dumb.
Speaker 2: I don't know how they do it.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, So I don't know.
Speaker 2: Just because like my name started with an S, they
Speaker 2: probably gave me an S thing named I don't know.
Speaker 1: A S thing.
Speaker 2: So Olif is a it's the first letter of the
Speaker 2: Hebrew alphabet, so maybe you'd be Olif because your name
Speaker 2: is Andrew.
Speaker 1: I actually like that name.
Speaker 2: It's a fun name, Yeah, isn't it Olif Alif? I
Speaker 2: like that bet gimmel dollad hey non, I kind of
Speaker 2: remember it a little bit. I was very bad. I
Speaker 2: got kicked out of Hebrew School for a year. What
Speaker 2: that would be the equivalent of like CCD right Catholic,
Speaker 2: you know whatever, So you go to Hebrew School for
Speaker 2: like six or seven years to see you have your
Speaker 2: bar mits foot when you're thirteen. And I was so
Speaker 2: bad in school because I hated it so much. I
Speaker 2: used to throw stuff out the window and it was terrible,
Speaker 2: and I that kid. I was that kid because I
Speaker 2: just I hated it. I'm sorry, I hated it, and
Speaker 2: I got kicked out of Hebrew school. But since my
Speaker 2: parents paid for it, they couldn't really like kick me out,
Speaker 2: kick me out, so I had to help the art teacher,
Speaker 2: Like I would fill the paint cans and stuff like
Speaker 2: that for art class. That's what I went mister Tabor.
Speaker 2: I went to him every day because I wasn't. I
Speaker 2: kicked a hole in the wall in class, and I
Speaker 2: pretended that the Sylvanian family was living in there, and
Speaker 2: I had a whole thing. Like, dude, I was such
Speaker 2: a mess. You have no idea. That's where Cooper gets
Speaker 2: it from. That's why Cooper talks to herself, and she
Speaker 2: goes to electrical outlets and goes DDDDD and talks to
Speaker 2: them because it looks like a smiley face. Look at
Speaker 2: an electrical outlet. It looks like a face. So, yeah,
Speaker 2: there's this in the.
Speaker 1: Same year that you tried to get out of school.
Speaker 1: So you pretended to have a sick like you pretend
Speaker 1: to have illness and went to the.
Speaker 2: Right around that time, because that was fourth grade, and
Speaker 2: you probably would have started Hebrew School by fourth grade
Speaker 2: for sure. So yeah, yeah, that was all around that time.
Speaker 2: That was my childhood, we gotta tell you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were a very imaginative kid.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Then we went to the Poconos and bought pineapples
Speaker 2: and m ET's and blew up tree trunks. I'm sorry, what, Yeah, Well,
Speaker 2: they had a flea market in the Poconos. It was
Speaker 2: the Pocono Bizarre Flea Market and they sold everything there.
Speaker 2: You could get anything, and there was a firework stand,
Speaker 2: and every weekend we'd go to the Poconos and by
Speaker 2: fireworks at the Poconobazar flea mark, and I would smuggle
Speaker 2: them home, you know, because you when you were in
Speaker 2: the eighties and you could just walk around by yourself,
Speaker 2: nobody cared. So my parents would be looking at some
Speaker 2: you know, vase, and I'd be at the fireworks stand
Speaker 2: loading up, and they'd be selling this ten year old
Speaker 2: kid pineapples, which were really strong m eighties. They were
Speaker 2: like double an M.
Speaker 1: Eight the what is a pineapple firework?
Speaker 3: Look?
Speaker 2: Look it's looks like a quarter of a stick of dynamite.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna google this, Yeah, And so I would take
Speaker 2: them home and put them in like spaghetti sauce jars
Speaker 2: and light it and run away. Had shards of glass
Speaker 2: would shoot for miles. We were terrible kids.
Speaker 1: That sounds so terrifying, yeh.
Speaker 2: And then we would make anus balls, that's what we
Speaker 2: would call them. Ones.
Speaker 1: What the hell isn't you lit like legit fireworks that
Speaker 1: do things like this?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, it was a pineapple. No, it didn't
Speaker 2: look like a pineapple in the sky. It was a
Speaker 2: quarter stick of dynamite. Yeah, it was that. So this yeah,
Speaker 2: it was it was that. It was oh my god. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and an anus ball would we would cut tennis balls
Speaker 2: and we'd put shaving cream and firecrackers in them and
Speaker 2: throw them in the street and like them. We were
Speaker 2: terrible children. Andrew with no supervision.
Speaker 1: Mimi, I feel like that's the eighties. Yeah, and somewhat
Speaker 1: of the nineties. Street lights went on, went home for dinner,
Speaker 1: that was it. Yeah, we heard the fire alarm, went
Speaker 1: home for dinner every night at six o'clock. Fire alarm.
Speaker 2: Every night at six o'clock. The fire alarm would ring
Speaker 2: one time and you'd know it was six o'clock. That
Speaker 2: was a thing.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's actually really smart.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: Well, do Cooper and Ashley play outside or no, they do.
Speaker 2: They play out in the back but they're playing on
Speaker 2: their devices in the backyard. I'm just happy to get
Speaker 2: them outside. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: Well, like my sister, I feel like every time I
Speaker 1: eat dinner with her now, she's on her phone. Like
Speaker 1: if we're just eating dinner, and I'm like, I don't
Speaker 1: really truly outside of this podcast where I sometimes check
Speaker 1: my phone, I sometimes sometimes I do not pick up
Speaker 1: my phone when I am at dinner. Ever, I don't
Speaker 1: like it. I feel like it's very rude to be
Speaker 1: at a table. It's somebody and they're on their phone.
Speaker 2: Once we finally have a kitchen table again because we've
Speaker 2: been in construction hell for the last three months, they
Speaker 2: will be a no device at the table rule.
Speaker 1: Smartest thing you could ever do. I'm fine with keeping
Speaker 1: my phone down, maybe checking it once, but like sitting
Speaker 1: there texting unless it's like you're getting some real big news,
Speaker 1: it's really not that important.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, so back in the day when I
Speaker 2: would sit at the kitchen table with my parents, I
Speaker 2: would take out my beeper, you know, and turn it
Speaker 2: over so it would say hello or boobs. And that
Speaker 2: was me playing with my device.
Speaker 1: It's basically my high school experience with calculators. Everybody would
Speaker 1: just walk around and.
Speaker 2: Be like yeah, wow, and then two way pagers came
Speaker 2: along and whow that changed the whole landscape.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, we didn't have those those skytail pagers.
Speaker 1: We did not have any Skytaelle pagers.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean that was in the mid to late nineties.
Speaker 1: My dad had a car phone. I specifically remember his
Speaker 1: car phone. That was a great time.
Speaker 2: My dad had one too, I remember, and he would
Speaker 2: drive down to Florida because he was a big always
Speaker 2: wanted to drive, never flew. He drove down to Florida
Speaker 2: when he had this car phone in his car. And
Speaker 2: back in the day, you were roaming, so you couldn't
Speaker 2: just call their number. You had this giant, fat phone
Speaker 2: book of all these cities in the entire country, and
Speaker 2: you had to guess where they were. Oh, he's about
Speaker 2: twelve hours in the trip. He's probably right around somewhere
Speaker 2: in Georgia. So you'd have to look up and hope
Speaker 2: that you'd get them in that cell area. You'd call
Speaker 2: that number, then they'd be like a tone or something.
Speaker 2: Then you would dial their phone number and hope they
Speaker 2: picked up. And it was like eighteen dollars a minute,
Speaker 2: because it was so ridiculous, these roaming charges. You know,
Speaker 2: he'd get mad when I would call it because there's.
Speaker 1: Express you know, while you're calling, just be.
Speaker 2: Like, I flit a firework, I blow I blew off
Speaker 2: my finger. But yeah, so, I mean cell phones have
Speaker 2: come a long way.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean even when we would go to Italy,
Speaker 1: it would be like, don't answer the phone, don't even
Speaker 1: look at the phone, take the battery out of the phone,
Speaker 1: because if you bring it and you turn it on,
Speaker 1: you don't even know the roaming charges.
Speaker 2: But even your landline phone was like that when we
Speaker 2: were kids. You had to wait till after six o'clock
Speaker 2: on the weekend and wait because it was off peak
Speaker 2: hours or something like that. It was it was actually
Speaker 2: really expensive to make a long distance phone call. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's hello, if you're under I don't know thirty long
Speaker 2: distance was a thing. Yeah. You couldn't just pick up
Speaker 2: the phone and call. You had to dial an air well.
Speaker 2: I mean you still have to dial in area code now,
Speaker 2: but long distance was. It was expensive. You had to
Speaker 2: be careful when you called because you had to watch
Speaker 2: your time too. You couldn't talk to Grandma for more
Speaker 2: than five minutes because that was a thirty dollars phone call.
Speaker 1: When our Italian relatives would call on Christmas, we'd always
Speaker 1: be like and of course Italian relatives are like what
Speaker 1: talent no, no, no no, for like six hours, and
Speaker 1: after a while you're like, we're getting charged, now gotta
Speaker 1: go buy. Yeah.
Speaker 2: One sentence is like, you know, forty five cents exactly,
Speaker 2: so it's just a little much.
Speaker 1: And then you know, we love them, but now talk
Speaker 1: for free and you FaceTime for free. Plus they're probably
Speaker 1: dead so you don't have to call them. No, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of Italian relatives. They look till like one
Speaker 1: hundred and ten down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. Yeah, but it's still I mean, it's
Speaker 2: still more expensive to call another country, there's no doubt
Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 1: But you don't even need to now because you could
Speaker 1: just do it over Wi Fi.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think of this phone's changed everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, you're right all FaceTime.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Why would you need to make a phone call?
Speaker 1: I mean I still do make phone calls quite often.
Speaker 2: Why would you have a landline on your house?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: And I, like I always say it, My job would
Speaker 1: be so hysterical if it was the nineties, like being
Speaker 1: someone's assistant. I'd have to be like, hey, Elvis, here's
Speaker 1: my landline.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have two landlines in.
Speaker 1: My Verizon bundle. Originally they were like just get the
Speaker 1: home phone line, you don't use it, but it makes
Speaker 1: it cheaper, you know.
Speaker 2: I also think that it's important to have one just
Speaker 2: for an emergency. You never know when crazy catastrophe will happen. Yeah,
Speaker 2: cell towers are out whatever it is storms. You know, yes,
Speaker 2: your landline can get knocked out too, But you know
Speaker 2: when like cell phone grids are overloaded because it's some
Speaker 2: crazy emergency, your landline is there.
Speaker 1: And you know, I put what what this is the
Speaker 1: commission for the landline.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, like, we have one underneath Cooper's bed
Speaker 2: and one underneath just in case there's some sort of
Speaker 2: what if some you know, prowler comes in the house
Speaker 2: and they're hiding under the bed, and there's a phone
Speaker 2: under there so they can call nine. Want to go help.
Speaker 1: I'm trapped under the bed, Please help us.
Speaker 2: You know I've told them how to do that.
Speaker 1: Why are you making a face like that, Like did
Speaker 1: you make them watch a horror movie and be like
Speaker 1: this could.
Speaker 3: Happen to you.
Speaker 2: No, but it's just you don't want to like teach
Speaker 2: them things. After God forbid, something happens, you say, hey,
Speaker 2: justin case this ever happens, is a phone under your bed,
Speaker 2: just in case.
Speaker 1: I mean, in premise, it's not bad. It just seems
Speaker 1: very like doomsdayish.
Speaker 2: Sure, but you know, be prepared, Andrew, why do you
Speaker 2: think I have a basement full of groceries? You never know?
Speaker 1: I mean we always said if the world is ending,
Speaker 1: I'm going to my mom and dad's house. Their pantry
Speaker 1: is stocked.
Speaker 2: Do you remember how everybody made fun of me after
Speaker 2: the extreme coup hunting thing, which I was on season one,
Speaker 2: episode thirteen.
Speaker 1: It's been a while, Thank god you could mention your
Speaker 1: extreme Kupovi and tekeetting episode.
Speaker 2: Technically it's episode thirteen, but they call it episode twelve
Speaker 2: because for some reason they had an episode zero, so
Speaker 2: that didn't make much sense to me. But anyway, everybody
Speaker 2: made fun of me after that that my pantry was
Speaker 2: stocked full of stuff, and then, oh, I'm sorry, did
Speaker 2: a pandemic hit and you couldn't get anything? Almost the
Speaker 2: same way everybody was banging down my door for toilet paper.
Speaker 2: We had plenty of sharman.
Speaker 1: My mom was the exact same way, and she was
Speaker 1: buying stuff in January. It's so weird that we're talking
Speaker 1: about the pandemic when it happened like literally just a
Speaker 1: year ago. But yeah, she was stocking up on toilet
Speaker 1: paper from January.
Speaker 2: Well, not literally, because it's much more than a year
Speaker 2: at this point. It's a three months.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, it's a year and a third. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: a year at a quarter right now. I was still
Speaker 1: living at my parents' house. Yeah, crazy, much cheaper in it.
Speaker 1: I was still paying rent.
Speaker 2: You were paying rent? Oh in Jersey? Yes, okay, I
Speaker 2: got you.
Speaker 1: It's dumb. And then I resigned my lease while I
Speaker 1: was in a pandemic. Listen, man, if you can go
Speaker 1: live with your parents and not pay rent for a while,
Speaker 1: go do it and save some money. Seriously.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you might need a vacation someday. Wish I had
Speaker 2: that saved up. Yeah, we'll go, amy, I promise we're
Speaker 2: going to figure it out. Maybe we can get Sandals
Speaker 2: to sponsor this podcast. That idea, then we could do
Speaker 2: a live podcast from the beach.
Speaker 1: Listen, I'm all four that.
Speaker 2: What's up Sandals and beaches? How's it going? All right?
