Speaker 1: Hi, Scott.
Speaker 2: It does go on and on and on and on.
Speaker 2: It's a great theme song. I love that song. I
Speaker 2: don't never know where to look like should I look
Speaker 2: here or should I look at you?
Speaker 3: Well, usually you move the computer.
Speaker 2: I usually do, but I don't feel like doing it
Speaker 2: today because it's unstable.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome to bull Chat. I'm Scotty B.
Speaker 3: And I've already said I'm Andrew.
Speaker 2: So yeah, this is Andrew's baby.
Speaker 3: In case you're unfamiliar, baby, this is our child. This
Speaker 3: is our podcast.
Speaker 2: Well, in case you're unfamiliar, we do a podcast called
Speaker 2: serial Killers where we talk about cereal. We eat it
Speaker 2: and we review it and let you know how it is.
Speaker 2: Andrew had this genius idea to do an offshoot called
Speaker 2: bull Chat, but leave it on the same serial Killers,
Speaker 2: you know platform. So this if you're here listening, if
Speaker 2: you're here looking for serial Killers, this ain't it. That's
Speaker 2: what I'm trying to say. I'm just trying to say,
Speaker 2: this is another podcast that Andrew created that's not about cereal,
Speaker 2: so let's do it.
Speaker 3: Well, you would also know that because again the episode
Speaker 3: is clearly titled bull Chat and a random topic.
Speaker 2: But to me, bowl relates to cereal.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, because you know we do talk about you know,
Speaker 3: it is still the Serial Killers, the two of us talking.
Speaker 3: So instead of creating a whole second podcast, it would
Speaker 3: make no sense. And because we stopped doing Friday episodes
Speaker 3: because it got to be too time consuming and exhausting
Speaker 3: for us, this is the best alternative. So why don't
Speaker 3: we take our feet out of the mud and start
Speaker 3: thinking positively?
Speaker 2: Scott, I really have to clean up behind me. Look
Speaker 2: at that mess.
Speaker 3: Also, you just froze on my screen and you look funny.
Speaker 2: I have stuff stuck in my teeth and that awful
Speaker 2: cereal we just ate.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't great. I was not a fan of
Speaker 3: that one.
Speaker 2: Well, but that hasn't aired yet, so keep listening to
Speaker 2: Serial Killers and you can watch us vomit.
Speaker 3: Yeah it wasn't great. Yeah, one of the wart serials
Speaker 3: I've ever had.
Speaker 2: Cuck coo cool. What's up today, buddy?
Speaker 3: What's Let me think? Clemmy think, clemmy think?
Speaker 2: Anything interesting happened to you?
Speaker 3: Did you go hiking? Have you been hiking? That's what
Speaker 3: I wanted to ask.
Speaker 2: Hiking?
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I might do this road trip with Gandhi.
Speaker 2: Right, okay, and oh the RV thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we're thinking of like what we need and
Speaker 3: all this other stuff. Honestly, they're talking about it and
Speaker 3: hiking shoes, backpacks. Anytime I've ever hiked, I just go
Speaker 3: in my sneakers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I've walked up a trail, but I
Speaker 2: didn't set out to go hiking with like picks and
Speaker 2: backpacks and sleeping bags and canteens of water.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, by the way, to people use canteens anymore? Yeah. Really,
Speaker 2: I mean they're telling.
Speaker 3: Us, like, do you have a water bottle brand that
Speaker 3: you're interested in? And I mean again the way, I
Speaker 3: remember doing the four mile hike in which is the
Speaker 3: one in California Yosemite?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 3: Or is that Yellowstone?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think it's Yosemite.
Speaker 2: Jellystone is where Yogi lived.
Speaker 3: Cool cool, cool, cool cool regardless. I did a hike
Speaker 3: with actually coaster boy Josh and his friend Trevor a
Speaker 3: few years ago. It's the four mile hike. Let me
Speaker 3: tell you something. It wasn't four miles. Who was Yogi
Speaker 3: and it Yogi Bear and we hiked up this whole mountain.
Speaker 3: I did it in like I looked like an Italian tourist.
Speaker 3: Uh huh, because I wore these shorts that just definitely
Speaker 3: were not for hiking.
Speaker 2: Were your boys hanging out?
Speaker 3: No, oh, I wasn't wearing Is that what you think
Speaker 3: of Italians?
Speaker 2: Were you wearing like tight shorts? We were wearing like
Speaker 2: y I'm saying, macho man shorts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was going up in chaps.
Speaker 2: No, never mind, I'm just talking like early eighties, those
Speaker 2: really tight short shorts. Did you ever wear a cutof
Speaker 2: T shirt? I need to know, yes, you did in
Speaker 2: the eighties. Yes, Do you have pictures? There's probably like
Speaker 2: Ocean Pacific and I cut it.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, because I'm about to go to this
Speaker 3: house again with some people and somebody was wearing a
Speaker 3: cut off T shirt or saying that they were going
Speaker 3: to wear cut off T shirts, and they say the
Speaker 3: trend is coming back.
Speaker 2: No please, no, please no.
Speaker 3: I'd love to see everyone from the eighties now wear.
Speaker 2: Them with their big beer bellies. It's a dad bud.
Speaker 2: I definitely were cut off, probably to like daycamp in
Speaker 2: the eighties, no doubt about it. I have to find
Speaker 2: some pictures. I'm sure there's pictures of me and cut
Speaker 2: offs with a gold chain and I don't know, good time.
Speaker 3: Wow, I really do need to see these pictures because
Speaker 3: I remember seeing it in.
Speaker 2: Rocky Yeah, eighties, eighties. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't know who again thought that that was a trend,
Speaker 3: but apparently people might try to see when you.
Speaker 2: Cut it yourself, it would curl up and it would
Speaker 2: get even shorter, so because you would cut it where
Speaker 2: you wanted it to be, but that didn't matter, because
Speaker 2: the ends of the shirt would curl up a little
Speaker 2: bit and it'd be like an inch shorter than it was,
Speaker 2: and it'd be like up to the bottom of my nipples.
Speaker 2: And I'd be like, dude, am I supposed to go
Speaker 2: out like this? I wasn't sure, but I guess I
Speaker 2: did that. And my little mullet and those sunglasses, those
Speaker 2: stupid sunglasses that I had.
Speaker 3: Oh lord, yeah, well it's that. And now I feel
Speaker 3: like your daughter's age. So what is that like? Jen
Speaker 3: z or Jen Alpha ten and thirteen. Now they're trying
Speaker 3: to bring back like the Y two K trends, and
Speaker 3: I feel like they have such an idealized view of
Speaker 3: what the early two thousands were like. It's nothing like
Speaker 3: what they're trying to display it to be like I
Speaker 3: lived through that time. You can't now tell me this
Speaker 3: is what it was like.
Speaker 2: I don't even remember. Like what's the difference between then
Speaker 2: and now? I don't get.
Speaker 3: They're trying to make it retro futuristic, Like they're trying
Speaker 3: to say like bubble furniture was like the future and
Speaker 3: everything was blue and like metallicke and all this other stuff. Okay,
Speaker 3: it's like what and bucket hats and see what are
Speaker 3: the genes? The big boot ones? I don't know, the
Speaker 3: big ones. I don't know what they're called, Janzo, I
Speaker 3: don't know. How do you not know?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Regardless, the Y two K fashion is never going to
Speaker 3: catch on. And if you're going to try and get
Speaker 3: people to wear Von Dutch hats again, I'm out piece
Speaker 3: out for life.
Speaker 2: You're not talking about Justin's are you? Or those boots?
Speaker 2: Those are boots? Yeah?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Whatever? Anyway, can we talk about snoop slime for a second?
Speaker 2: Who exactly? So there's this woman on TikTok okay that
Speaker 2: I'm making all the kids nuts with this stuff called
Speaker 2: snoop slime it's snop slime. First of all, I thought
Speaker 2: slime was done, but apparently it's back with a vengeance
Speaker 2: because this woman she makes these things and then she
Speaker 2: does a restock at like nine o'clock on a Friday
Speaker 2: night and they're all sold out like that, and then
Speaker 2: like fifteen to twenty dollars each. What I have to
Speaker 2: tell you, they're beautiful, but I don't understand because I
Speaker 2: wish I could show a picture, but you'll have to
Speaker 2: look it up. It's Snoop slimes, and I think on
Speaker 2: Instagram there's Snoop Slimes Official is their Instagram, and she
Speaker 2: makes these elaborate things. There's one that's like Mexican street
Speaker 2: corn and Cooper got the U the honey one, and
Speaker 2: there's one that's there's one that's like sushi, and there's
Speaker 2: so many different ones. And yeah, yeah, they're beautiful slides. Okay,
Speaker 2: look how beautiful they are. But here's the thing. You
Speaker 2: gotta break it. First of all, you have to assemble
Speaker 2: it yourself, so it comes in a container with just
Speaker 2: the color slime that it's supposed to be, and then
Speaker 2: all those other add ons you put on yourself and
Speaker 2: you goo it up and whatever which is fine because
Speaker 2: they do look pretty. But the thing is, as soon
Speaker 2: as you start playing with it, it all gets washed
Speaker 2: into one glob of that's it. And so all that
Speaker 2: pretty stuff is gone in a flash.
Speaker 3: It's an aesthetic thing, and then you break it and
Speaker 3: then it's never to be like that again.
Speaker 2: That's all it is. And this woman is cleaning up.
Speaker 2: She is cleaning up. Cooper has seven or eight of them.
Speaker 3: Already, so that twenty times she spent almost like what
Speaker 3: one hundred and sixteen hundred.
Speaker 2: I don't know where this money's coming from. I didn't
Speaker 2: pay for it.
Speaker 3: Must be her allowance.
Speaker 2: She didn't get allowance. I don't know how she's ordering these.
Speaker 2: She has to pay us. Seriously, I don't.
Speaker 3: Really understand the slime trend. I've actually did. You also
Speaker 3: see people that are doing like like messy food type things.
Speaker 2: I saw the dumb spaghetti on the counter with the sauce.
Speaker 2: I don't understand.
Speaker 3: But nacho tables, No, why would people do this? Okay
Speaker 3: for hits, Yeah, TikTok showed me. And I don't know
Speaker 3: because I haven't done my own independent research yet. But
Speaker 3: some people are saying that it's a fetish food.
Speaker 2: Fetish.
Speaker 3: It's a weird type of food fetish because they're almost
Speaker 3: like if you listen to them, even with ASMR videos,
Speaker 3: certain people after a while will almost be like, oh
Speaker 3: my god, what a big mess.
Speaker 2: It's like I totally get it.
Speaker 3: And once your clue into it, you can't watch an
Speaker 3: ASMR video or like a food video the same way. Ever.
Speaker 2: Again, my daughter listened, you know what. Now they come
Speaker 2: to think of it. She listens to or watches it
Speaker 2: as she's going to sleep. It's like, let me unwrap
Speaker 2: this candy bar. Yeah, I'm going to open the wrapper
Speaker 2: right now. Oh my god, isn't it's so delicious?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my I can't believe that.
Speaker 3: Yes, shocking, And I feel like more people need to
Speaker 3: know about this because it's weird.
Speaker 2: By the way, did I just do ASMR? I think
Speaker 2: you did. Wow, that's so cool.
Speaker 1: Hey, guys, thank you so much for listening to bull jat.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's stop now, I'm Andrew. Nobody's getting turned on
Speaker 2: by dour voices.
Speaker 3: This is me tapping the mind.
Speaker 2: Stop it to stop it, stop and stop it? All right?
Speaker 3: Can you not take ASMR like you're weirded out by it?
Speaker 2: It's just it's odd. I don't understand. I don't understand
Speaker 2: the attraction to it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't either.
Speaker 2: I don't get it.
Speaker 3: Like I said, apparently the food videos and maybe some asmrs.
Speaker 2: I never understood the unboxing videos.
Speaker 3: That one pisss me off too.
Speaker 2: God, But you know what, God bless them millions of hits,
Speaker 2: millions of dollars. Let's think of something, Andrew.
Speaker 3: Maybe it'll be this podcast.
Speaker 2: Maybe we could do serial crushers, Like we could open
Speaker 2: bags of cereal and completely crush them down into dust
Speaker 2: while they're still in the bags, and then we can
Speaker 2: like pour out cereal dust into cups and they'll all
Speaker 2: be different.
Speaker 3: I actually, okay, hear me out on this one, because
Speaker 3: I think you actually have just come up with a
Speaker 3: genius idea.
Speaker 2: Maybe we should not air this yet until we get
Speaker 2: this done.
Speaker 3: We have all these cereals right right, half of them
Speaker 3: are just like we haven't eaten them in at least a.
Speaker 2: Year or two.
Speaker 3: Well, what we could do is have people give us
Speaker 3: their orders. Oh, do you want a frosted flake special
Speaker 3: K mix. We'll crush it up for you and then
Speaker 3: you'll see what the result looks like.
Speaker 2: But we can't sell it to them because they'll die
Speaker 2: if they eat it.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter. People on TikTok. I've seen ones where
Speaker 3: it's like they have a bubble pop thing, yeah, and
Speaker 3: they're like, can you do twenty five to see if
Speaker 3: I get the special number behind the bubble pop And
Speaker 3: someone literally presses twenty five of them and then flips
Speaker 3: it over, and it's like, oh you lost.
Speaker 2: Sorry, by the way, our house is full of those two.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but these kids these days, I don't get it.
Speaker 3: Kids these days, I truly feel that way. I have
Speaker 3: never felt so disconnected. I am so confused.
Speaker 2: Get off my lawn.
Speaker 3: I just don't get it.
Speaker 2: But the thing is, their hobbies are super expensive. When
Speaker 2: we were kids, we just bought dumb little crap that
Speaker 2: didn't cost anything.
Speaker 3: Or you just went a not to sound like that
Speaker 3: guy again, but you just went outside. Well yeah, like
Speaker 3: nothing was if anything, I got what maybe some action figures,
Speaker 3: but I like this expensive.
Speaker 2: I liked to collect wacky packages and they were twenty
Speaker 2: five cents a pack.
Speaker 3: But who really went to someone's house with slime and
Speaker 3: was like, I'll trade you these bubble poppets.
Speaker 2: They trade it and they're so dirty because they touch them. Ew.
Speaker 2: They jammed their hands in it, and then they trade it. Ew.
Speaker 2: By the way, do you know what wacky packages are? No,
Speaker 2: you should look it up. It was a it was
Speaker 2: a fun trend in the eighties and then it came
Speaker 2: back again, maybe like five ten years ago. It was
Speaker 2: just like tops put it out. I think it was
Speaker 2: a little trading card sized things, but they were stickers
Speaker 2: and you'd put them in a sticker book. There would
Speaker 2: be a book they had to fill up and it
Speaker 2: was products, but like the fake one, so instead of
Speaker 2: like crust, it would be crust and there'd be like
Speaker 2: some crusty guy on the tube like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, was that almost like a garbage pail kid?
Speaker 2: It was? I think it was. It was the reaction
Speaker 2: to garbage Page, or it might have been before garb
Speaker 2: I forget which one came out first.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 2: I think probably garbage Pail Kids came out first, then
Speaker 2: Wacky Packages, but I don't remember.
Speaker 3: Well now I feel like that's not aesthetically pleasing for kids.
Speaker 3: They'd almost look at the garbage pail kids and be like,
Speaker 3: oh you that's gross.
Speaker 2: Oh you can't doesn't everyone? Please? You need like PC Patty,
Speaker 2: because they would they would have to be everything would
Speaker 2: have to be just right. Oh my god, you couldn't,
Speaker 2: Like I was, I forget what mine was?
Speaker 3: Why are you calling stinky Steve stinky?
Speaker 2: I was like, he's from mine was like stupid Scott
Speaker 2: and it was like a like, I don't know. It
Speaker 2: was terrible. They were terrible. They were all awful. And
Speaker 2: then they had that movie. You also would be like
Speaker 2: angry Andrew and you'd have smoke coming out of your
Speaker 2: ears or oh, what is.
Speaker 1: Andrew going through?
Speaker 3: You don't know what his mental state is.
Speaker 2: That's the thing you'd have. They'd have something to say
Speaker 2: about every single frickin' name.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, thanks, not to be again that podcast whatever.
Speaker 2: The kids, well, I tend to think that most people
Speaker 2: that listen to this are probably an older millennial, early
Speaker 2: gen xer. I would think, yeah, because I'd probably right
Speaker 2: around a young kid because they can relate to us. Andrew.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you never know, maybe young kids too.
Speaker 2: We're very relatable. Yeah, totally. Yeah. Did you want to
Speaker 2: cut this podcast short so you could get a ride home?
Speaker 2: Is that what you wanted to do?
Speaker 3: Or I don't know when anybody is leaving no one's
Speaker 3: told me anything.
Speaker 2: So if you want, when I see them walking out
Speaker 2: with backpacks, I'll just hit stop and we'll justa and
Speaker 2: you could just go home.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: I see where your priorities lie. It's fine.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I'm down to keep recording. It's just
Speaker 3: then I have to, you know, get on the path,
Speaker 3: head back home.
Speaker 2: I just can't take you home today. I'm too busy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's fine. You just hate me, I get it. No.
Speaker 2: And it's also at the time of this recording, the
Speaker 2: Morning Show is going on vacation for a little over
Speaker 2: two weeks, and I have a lot of editing to do.
Speaker 3: Andrew, get you.
Speaker 2: I still have backed up Serial Killers episodes. Why can't
Speaker 2: you just put it out the way they are? Because
Speaker 2: it's not right like that.
Speaker 3: It's a quality over quantity, Andy, don't you never understand.
Speaker 2: Don't by the way I stuck by talking about Nate,
Speaker 2: not Andrew. But don't you see people when you're listening
Speaker 2: to this bowl chat, Andrew doesn't adjust the volume levels
Speaker 2: at all. So the little bowl chat thing that you're here,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna play this right now, okay, and our voice
Speaker 2: levels are you know, moderate and then there's this that
Speaker 2: was really loud.
Speaker 3: Well, then why didn't you just send it to me?
Speaker 3: When you modulate the voices? If it modulate important to you?
Speaker 2: Modulate?
Speaker 3: Modulate would be the word. Do you know why, because
Speaker 3: it's modifying the voices?
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fine. But see, at the beginning of this podcast,
Speaker 2: you probably just heard a JC Penny commercial or something
Speaker 2: like that, and it was average level. It was it
Speaker 2: was your normal listening level. And then as soon as
Speaker 2: bull chat started we sounded like this because it got
Speaker 2: really quiet because the levels are not correct, because Andrew
Speaker 2: just wants to push it out.
Speaker 3: So then why don't you fix the levels? Why are
Speaker 3: you self sabotaged? Oh?
Speaker 2: Because this is your podcast?
Speaker 3: Oh okay, gotcha, So you'd sabotage your own podcast, got it?
Speaker 2: Sabotage.
Speaker 3: You're showing a lot more of your character and less
Speaker 3: of mine.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: All right, what's up next, buddy? You're right, your ride
Speaker 2: is still here, so we can chat a little longer.
Speaker 3: When it was the nineties, huh and it was grunge,
Speaker 3: did you ever paint your nails black?
Speaker 2: I've never painted my nails. I did have clear coat
Speaker 2: a couple of times. When, But I don't know. I
Speaker 2: don't Probably in the nineties or maybe in the early
Speaker 2: two thousands. If I went to get a manicure with
Speaker 2: Amy once, I probably just for fun painted a clear
Speaker 2: coat and I was like, what is this? But no,
Speaker 2: I mean it's very possible that when my girls were
Speaker 2: really little and they put makeup on Daddy, that they,
Speaker 2: you know, like jam some nail polished on my n
Speaker 2: But I never had my nails polished.
Speaker 3: No, never, I'm going to bring some next time, Okay.
Speaker 2: But I was a full on flannel wearer. I had
Speaker 2: every flannel on the planet.
Speaker 3: Flannels are heavy.
Speaker 2: No I had. I was able to get light ones
Speaker 2: at Bob's stores. No. Bob's was a clothing store in
Speaker 2: the Northeast. I think there's still a couple around. There
Speaker 2: was another one four Coals.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. There was another one.
Speaker 2: Too, Oh Bradley's No. See, these are all regional.
Speaker 3: This one was h It was cal Door.
Speaker 2: What's Caldor?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Alexander's No. No, Well, what was the
Speaker 2: old name of Macy's boss COV's Bamburgers? What there was
Speaker 2: there was Bamburgers.
Speaker 3: No in that movie Elf, the original name of the
Speaker 3: Macy's is on the building.
Speaker 2: No, isn't that just because they couldn't say it? Yes,
Speaker 2: so they used the old name for it because there
Speaker 2: was Gertz, yeah, which was Stern's. Gertz turned into Sterns
Speaker 2: and Macy's and Bamburgers I think were the same company. Well,
Speaker 2: I don't know regardless.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you watch elf, the name of the department
Speaker 3: store that they work at, is the old name of
Speaker 3: the building that they're in.
Speaker 2: Is it? Yeah? But is it the old name of
Speaker 2: the department yes, so look it up. I'm curious.
Speaker 3: Well, then you fill time.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know what to fill with, but I
Speaker 2: mean there were lots of old stores that don't exist anymore,
Speaker 2: that probably couldn't in today's world. Like did you have
Speaker 2: a service merchandise near you?
Speaker 3: That's the name of the one I was thinking of.
Speaker 3: We had a service merchandise.
Speaker 2: I loved service merchandise, that's right. I bought a pellet
Speaker 2: gun when I was fifteen, and the Whiz Nobody beats
Speaker 2: the Wiz Andrew Gimbles gimbals Yeah yeah, here yeah, and
Speaker 2: you could see it real. No, Gimbles was definitely a store.
Speaker 2: I remember gimbles hold Man for sure.
Speaker 3: Look in Elf Gimbals, Oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it was probably supposed to be old timey. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, also they couldn't use the name of the original Macy's.
Speaker 3: They couldn't use Macy's on it.
Speaker 2: I get it because they probably wanted way too much
Speaker 2: for the rights, probably, But yeah, no, I remember Gimbals
Speaker 2: when I was a little kid.
Speaker 3: I loved Elf. Else is such a good Christmas or.
Speaker 2: I have about Consumers? Did I say consumers?
Speaker 3: Did not?
Speaker 2: Consumers was also like service merchandise. It was the other one.
Speaker 2: Like you would they would send you a catalog like
Speaker 2: this thick and you'd flip through it and you'd see
Speaker 2: what you wanted. I would fold the little page down
Speaker 2: and then I would go into the store and they
Speaker 2: had like an I don't know. It was like a
Speaker 2: Commodore sixty four computer at the front door, and you'd
Speaker 2: press the button and you would type in the item number.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, and then it would come down the shoot.
Speaker 2: It would come down like the conveyor belt, and you'd
Speaker 2: go and you'd pick it up and you'd pay for it.
Speaker 2: It was. It was a catalog store. It was the
Speaker 2: weirdest thing. It was a huge store. Sears catalogs. Yeah,
Speaker 2: for Christmas every year. Made I loved going through the
Speaker 2: Sears catalog as a kid. That was one of my
Speaker 2: favorite things to do. It was like super thick, just
Speaker 2: like you're.
Speaker 3: Saying, and you'd circle the items you wanted and you'd
Speaker 3: be so excited on Christmas morning to see what was there.
Speaker 2: There's still a few Seers around there. I mean they're
Speaker 2: pretty much gone, but there's still a couple around. If
Speaker 2: you go to like the Jankety Mall on the other
Speaker 2: side of town, there's probably still a Seers.
Speaker 3: There, and we have I think one or two by us,
Speaker 3: the one in the Jersey City mall. It's like maybe
Speaker 3: just at this point they're selling fridges.
Speaker 2: Because that looks like in stock. There was actually there
Speaker 2: was a documentary that I saw. God, I wish I
Speaker 2: could remember what it was called. It was. It was
Speaker 2: about a mall that just all the stores were closing
Speaker 2: and it just followed the employees around. Whatever it is
Speaker 2: it was. It was interesting. I forget what it was called,
Speaker 2: but I want to know what this movie is. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'll figure it out. I'll find it for you. But
Speaker 2: there was a there was a mall near me called
Speaker 2: The Source, where a store called fortuneof was. It's a
Speaker 2: very New York.
Speaker 3: East Coast fortune Off.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, there was some jersey and whatever. Those are gone.
Speaker 2: There's like an outdoor store, but it's not the same thing.
Speaker 2: But so they were in a mall called The Source,
Speaker 2: which at the time was this big state of the
Speaker 2: art mall. There was a cheesecake factory. Whoh cheesecake factory
Speaker 2: and PF Chang's came. Were like, we were so excited
Speaker 2: for this mall. And there was Dave and Busters and yeah,
Speaker 2: and and what was the what was the other applying tops?
Speaker 2: Tops Appliance is remember Tops Appliance? What was it saying?
Speaker 2: Damn it, damn it, damn it. Topsy was the guy. Uh,
Speaker 2: it was stupid. And then there was Incredible Universe which
Speaker 2: took over for that. That was another electronics store that failed.
Speaker 2: There was somebody failed electronics stores.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean at some point it's like, why are
Speaker 3: you opening up a big box one?
Speaker 2: Oh? It was forget about it. That was Tops. Topsy
Speaker 2: would say that in the commercials it was so stupid.
Speaker 2: But what I'm trying to get at is all the
Speaker 2: stores in this mall started going out of business, and
Speaker 2: then the food court closed and there was literally cheesecake factory, PF.
Speaker 2: Chang's and a bra store and that's all that was left.
Speaker 2: And you would walk around this shell of a mall,
Speaker 2: so eerie every it was, and I loved it because
Speaker 2: I love I I for some I love abandoned thing.
Speaker 3: Scott like same. I, Oh my god, did we just
Speaker 3: become best friends.
Speaker 2: I love abandon but I'm afraid to go to them.
Speaker 2: So that's the thing. So I would walk around this
Speaker 2: abandoned mall and look, I just see I like looking
Speaker 2: in the shells of all the stores.
Speaker 3: It's so eerie. It feels like something's wrong.
Speaker 2: Right, and it's it's like time stopped right when they closed.
Speaker 2: And so now, I mean they're rebuilding and it's going
Speaker 2: to be offices and stuff in stores now. But that's
Speaker 2: just There was a psychiatric center behind where I grew up,
Speaker 2: same when I was.
Speaker 3: A kid, Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital.
Speaker 2: It was these creepy buildings. It was a sanitarium in
Speaker 2: this fifties and sixties. It was a tuberculosis sanitarium and
Speaker 2: it was all these giant brick, creepy buildings and they
Speaker 2: were there forever, and they started closing up because a
Speaker 2: lot of the practices that were going on they were
Speaker 2: probably not right illegal. Yeah, and then it turned into
Speaker 2: some other thing, and then it was a halfway house,
Speaker 2: and then it just that's it. And I would ride
Speaker 2: my bike through there all the time and these closed windows,
Speaker 2: broken out, spray paint all over the place. Yep, it's
Speaker 2: so eerie. And I was always afraid to go in.
Speaker 2: I've seen that people would like post videos inside, but
Speaker 2: I was always afraid to go in. I don't know
Speaker 2: why something's going to jump out and get me or whatever,
Speaker 2: but it's it's just I don't know. These things are
Speaker 2: so fascinating to me.
Speaker 3: The one that was behind our house, the Marlboro and
Speaker 3: like a psychiatric hospital, is known for being like one
Speaker 3: of the worst ones on the East Coast. You can
Speaker 3: look it up the ground to it. They can't actually
Speaker 3: do anything with it because it's that toxic.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: There was oh, I don't know what they were doing, Biden.
Speaker 2: There was one on Staten Island. I think it was
Speaker 2: called Willowbrook, and that's where Heraldo got his big break
Speaker 2: because he exposed this place. Yes, it was a documentary
Speaker 2: about it, I don't. You can find it somewhere. It's
Speaker 2: called Willowbrook, I think.
Speaker 3: But yeah, yes, And there's also a documentary about the
Speaker 3: urban legend that comes from it from there too. I
Speaker 3: think that person's name is Topsy two.
Speaker 2: Forget about it. But no these and I'll never forget.
Speaker 2: Growing up, we had a house in the Poconos. It
Speaker 2: was a community called Saw Creek. It's still there. And
Speaker 2: on the way up the road, I forget what the
Speaker 2: name of the road was, Marshall's Creek something or other.
Speaker 2: But on the right hand side there was a abandoned
Speaker 2: amusement park. It was called like Pocono God, I forget
Speaker 2: what it was called. It was Pocono something. It was
Speaker 2: an abandoned music park. And I went there with my
Speaker 2: dad and a friend of mine and we went in
Speaker 2: and it's just like time stopped, you know. There was
Speaker 2: grass growing through the tracks of the roller coaster. And
Speaker 2: we actually went into the little Pride Shack and we
Speaker 2: took there were still surprises in there.
Speaker 3: Were they like the knockoff ones that you get from
Speaker 3: like a no.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was like ponchos and stuff like that
Speaker 2: with the name of the park on it. Got Pocono
Speaker 2: Valley or something like that it was called, and we
Speaker 2: walked all around this abandoned amusement park. If you if
Speaker 2: you google like abandoned Pocono Amusement Park, you'll see it up. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's so weird. I'm fascinated by those things, but
Speaker 2: also frightened at the same time.
Speaker 3: So what also was going on with the psychiatric hospital?
Speaker 3: Oh is that Nate?
Speaker 2: Oh? Here comes Nate for his Nate?
Speaker 3: What abandoned things were by you? Do you enjoy going
Speaker 3: to abandoned things?
Speaker 4: What the fuck are we talking?
Speaker 3: Abandoned things? Like behind my house was the Marborough like
Speaker 3: psychiatric hospital that was completely abandoned. Same with Scott here.
Speaker 2: Why are you ambushing, Nate? I'll tell you. Candy Prep.
Speaker 2: Can you bend down? Why do I need to bend
Speaker 2: down because we can't see you? Oh? Hey there?
Speaker 3: How you guys record this too?
Speaker 2: Huh yeah? Yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: So it's called John Candy Prep and where I went
Speaker 4: to where I grew up in Erie, Pennsylvania. They had
Speaker 4: a lot of Catholic schools, so it was a Catholic
Speaker 4: prep school. The last class they had was like nineteen
Speaker 4: eighty one, and there was twelve kids. So then they
Speaker 4: closed the school. So it was this old abandoned prep
Speaker 4: school that was about five blocks from my house and
Speaker 4: we go by there. I'm like, this has got so
Speaker 4: many ghosts of priests that touched little boys.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, thank you for coming to bull Chat.
Speaker 2: You're welcome. Did you need something or I need a water?
Speaker 2: Oh okay, take a water. Enjoy So yeah, now I
Speaker 2: got a floppy mic Oh that's what happens when Nate
Speaker 2: touches long things.
Speaker 4: Got it okay, see it's not no longer excited, got
Speaker 4: it all out, all by a great day night.
Speaker 3: Yeah that was. We also had an abandoned prison.
Speaker 2: That's gotta be weird.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And my friend Nick and I we would always
Speaker 3: go exploring in the woods because behind our house, one
Speaker 3: of our one neighbor's houses, it almost looked like an
Speaker 3: explosion went off. It was the weirdest thing. But like
Speaker 3: in the creek bed there'd be like a bathtub, a car.
Speaker 2: Like all this stuff. Love it, I love it.
Speaker 3: But if you kept taking it, you'd eventually get to
Speaker 3: where I said this psychiatric hospital was. And on top
Speaker 3: of that, you'd hit like this old abandoned farm and
Speaker 3: then you'd hit the abandoned prison too, and it was
Speaker 3: so scary to go to. Lots of fun though.
Speaker 2: It's almost like if I was a scuba dive scuba
Speaker 2: diver who is a scuba diver, I would love to
Speaker 2: go see shipwrecks, Like I think that would be so
Speaker 2: much fun.
Speaker 3: I want to go scuba diving. Oh, I want to
Speaker 3: get my Scooba certification.
Speaker 2: I don't want to go Scooba diving. I just want
Speaker 2: to see shipwrecks. I want to feel them and touch
Speaker 2: them and like swim into rooms and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: I feel like we could totally team up with a
Speaker 3: podcast or something where they do like abandoned There.
Speaker 2: Has to be you go online, there's there's dozens ofthing.
Speaker 3: Not the Abandoned pen Station tour, because that was the
Speaker 3: biggest ripoff I've ever done in my life.
Speaker 2: And I told you that, And I also think I
Speaker 2: got the flu there.
Speaker 3: I got the flu.
Speaker 2: I got so sick from that thing. We're touching all
Speaker 2: these bars and crap.
Speaker 3: If you're ever in New York City and there's an
Speaker 3: Abandoned pen Station tour where they're going to show you
Speaker 3: the old remnants of Penn Station, I gotta tell you, scam.
Speaker 3: It's gone.
Speaker 2: Scam.
Speaker 3: The whole original pen station's gone. You're not gonna walk
Speaker 3: into none at all.
Speaker 2: There's one staircase that you can look at, you can
Speaker 2: walk up, you can walk up the original staircase. There's
Speaker 2: one staircase and railing that's still there.
Speaker 3: Also, if you look through one specific tile, you can
Speaker 3: see an original something or other.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well that was the biggest game. And I got the
Speaker 3: flu from that because I remember afterwards my friend and
Speaker 3: I I was at her apartment and all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: I was like, holy crap, what just hit me like
Speaker 3: a bus. It was the flu.
Speaker 2: The thing is, we live here and we still got taken.
Speaker 3: I told well, the funny part is I told you
Speaker 3: not to go to this one. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was like, Noah, it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 3: You were so excited for it too, And the minute
Speaker 3: I started asking questions, you were like, Andy, just don't
Speaker 3: I'm excited for this. They literally just had a binder
Speaker 3: full of like printouts.
Speaker 2: They had laminated photos that they passed around, and all
Speaker 2: these dirty people from all these other dirty places, We're
Speaker 2: touching them with their dirty, gross hands, and they just
Speaker 2: picked their nose and wipe their ass with and here
Speaker 2: I am, oh cool, Well hold on, I wipe my
Speaker 2: eye real quick, and I got so sick. Yeah, a
Speaker 2: couple days later it was terrible.
Speaker 3: Well, Penn Station itself is honestly the worst train station
Speaker 3: in the.
Speaker 2: Entire I mean, they have redone a lot of it,
Speaker 2: and they are completely redoing a section of it, aren't they.
Speaker 2: So that old post office, Yeah, that is gonna be
Speaker 2: the new Pen station, is it not? Most of it
Speaker 2: is alright, it's open. I haven't taken the train in
Speaker 2: a year and a half. What do I know?
Speaker 3: Well, NJ transit. The minute it starts getting hot in
Speaker 3: the summer, you don't take the trains. You know why,
