Speaker 2: of the old Republic, a soul fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:18,360

00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 3: the original recipe of the podcast. See the weekend podcast

13
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 3: is extra crunchry. It's got a little extra crunch to

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 3: it on the weekends. But we are here hanging out

15
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 3: on a Saturday, the second day of March, as the

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 3: we've already moved in to day two. It's azing that

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 3: usually happens after day one, as we've got you covered

18
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 3: all well, at least for the next half hour or

19
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 3: so on the podcast celebrating National Banana Cream Pie Day,

20
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 3: which is the king of the pie. That's the king

21
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: of the pie.

22
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: Nanny.

23
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,639
Speaker 3: I used to think I was naive as a child.

24
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 3: I thought that the apple pie was the king of

25
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 3: the pie. But a properly made banana cream pie is amazing.

26
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: And there's the greatest banana cream pie has actually a

27
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 3: little diner in Manhattan, which is a few blocks away

28
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 3: from my brother's place. And it's not they're not even

29
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: known for the banana cream pie. But it was amazing.

30
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 3: It was the perfect amount of banana mixed with the crunch,

31
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 3: and then you've got the of the what do you

32
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 3: call the cross, and then you've got the cream on top.

33
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: Perfect. Have you ever had it where they put the

34
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: vanilla wafers around it as a crust almost, I've only

35
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: had that a few times, but yeah, that's pretty good.

36
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 1: I would put that pie number two on my big board,

37
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,279
Speaker 1: behind a really nice homemade peach cobbler on my peach

38
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: cobbler lists.

39
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, yeah, we can agree to disagree on that.

40
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: I'm not against peach cobbler, but it's not in my

41
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 3: top three pie. What banana cream pie is like a

42
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: country miles like Secretariat ahead and then you got the

43
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 3: like I like apple, but there's like there's different kinds

44
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 3: of apple, right, there's the kind is kind of pluffy

45
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 3: apple or puffed up apple.

46
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: What is that called? The is that like there's two

47
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: different versions of her three different versions.

48
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: Of apple pie. But I like apple pie. That's my

49
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 3: number two, and then number three rotates. I like a

50
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 3: rotation for number three depends on my mood. What I

51
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: want for number three. Sometimes I go a lemon merang,

52
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 3: which is not I don't know if that accounts, but

53
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 3: it's too light off.

54
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: It's a problem there. I don't think that would be

55
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: in many people's top five.

56
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 3: Well, no, I've seen it. The number three rotates wrong.

57
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 3: You know, strawberry I've had a strawberry pie. That's rare.

58
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: That's not a popular pie. That's not mainstream.

59
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 3: Peacan pie. I like pecan pie. Pretty good Peacan pie.

60
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: It's so sweet. Yeah, it's a pie. It's supposed to

61
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: be sweet. It's not supposed to make you run to

62
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: get a glass of milk after one bite.

63
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: Well, some of us don't drink milk, you know. We

64
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 3: just drink water or juice or something else, juice.

65
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: With the big gone bite.

66
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 2: Yeah.

67
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: Why, now, I'm surprised you don't have diabetes.

68
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 3: Well, I don't eat very often, so I I picked

69
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: my swots, but I was headed down that road.

70
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm shit. But anyway, on.

71
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 3: This podcast, we've got the BUCkies baller bad officiating, a

72
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 3: hairy situation, and I know there'll be some other surprises

73
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 3: along the way. We might even have the phrase of

74
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: the week and whatnot and all that. But before we

75
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 3: get into it, I did want to address something we

76
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: talked about on the Friday podcast, Dan, and you brought

77
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 3: this to my attention from earlier in the week, and

78
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 3: I I've seen this thing going around.

79
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: It's got a lot of traction.

80
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that the people over there at Windy's, the

81
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 3: fast food establishment, Wendy's, have decided to gouge their customers

82
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: with surge pricing, as you pointed out. And the reaction

83
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 3: to this, Danny, I've been paying attention. You brought to

84
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: my attention. So I started snooping around a little bit,

85
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 3: and there is tremendous pushback, tremendous social media.

86
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: It was like somebody shook up a social media ant farm.

87
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: There's been lots of hashtag boycott Wendy's online.

88
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's one thing if you're uber, and it's you

89
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 3: got rush hour traffic and you say, all right, we're

90
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: gonna charge.

91
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 1: A little more. I don't like that.

92
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 3: Usually what I'll do is if I go to I'll

93
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 3: do uber and Lyft and whoever's cheaper.

94
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's to me, it's the same. I

95
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: don't care, So I'll just go to whoever's cheaper. I mean,

96
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: that's what most people do.

97
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 3: And in the case of Wendy's, the backlash has just

98
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 3: been tremendous.

99
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 2: Right.

100
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 3: It's like one thing, you know, the airline screw us over,

101
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 3: the car services screw us over. But you cannot screw

102
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 3: up the Frosty game. You can't do it. And we're

103
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 3: out and I we'll see how Windy's response. We'll see

104
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: what they end up doing here in the coming days

105
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,119
Speaker 3: and weeks, whether they put their tail between their legs

106
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 3: and walk away. But Windy did attempt to clarify their intentions,

107
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 3: which is a nice way of saying, well, it's not

108
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 3: as bad as you think. It's a they're calling it

109
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 3: dynamic pricing. Yeah, a bunch of losers. Yeah, call it greed.

110
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: Call it what it is. There's nothing dynamic about it, right,

111
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 3: You want more money from your customers because there's a

112
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 3: line at the drive to So imagine if in and

113
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 3: out Burger did this, they'd always have surge pricing. There

114
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 3: is never like I go by Wendy's sometimes there's a Windy's.

115
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: New where I live.

116
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 3: There's never anybody there, right, There's like maybe once or

117
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: twice a day. I go to In and Out Burger.

118
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: They're lined up down the block and around the corner.

119
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 3: So it's always surge pricing and in and Out Burger.

120
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: And there was a little bit of confusion with this

121
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: story too, because some people took to x Twitter and

122
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: they said, oh, off hours, I'm gonna go get a

123
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: frosty for thirty one cents. Lol. No, that's not how

124
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: this is gonna work. They're not gonna reward us as

125
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: customers for going during off hours. They're gonna stick it

126
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: to us with the regular high menu price at normal times.

127
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: Only when the restaurant traffic is busy is when they're

128
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: gonna up the price to who knows what, So what

129
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna pay for a twenty dollars burger during the

130
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: lunch rush. No, you Wendy's.

131
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 3: Well, they're claiming like they're well, they're using it's weasel terminology, right.

132
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 3: They're not saying sir, they're saying, as we said, dynamic pricing.

133
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 3: And they said that they've gone through both models and

134
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 3: all that. I look, they put all those legal easy, Like, well,

135
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: there's a range of factors that they're involved in the

136
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 3: price of the food. What is that The manager of

137
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 3: the Windy's looks out the window and there's like five

138
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: cars in line instead of one or none, and they're like,

139
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 3: all right, we're gonna raise the price of that shit

140
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 3: and sandwich.

141
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: One person tweeted, Oh wait, now for lunch, I'm gonna

142
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: have to call ahead to Wendy's with a bomb threat

143
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: in order to get my lunch.

144
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous. Really, well, you know, they said, I was

145
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 3: reading one of the reviews on this. They said, well,

146
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 3: you know, twelve dollars a regular combo meal, but it

147
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 3: would be you know, it would be a little more.

148
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: We attack on a little little extra here. Thirteen dollars

149
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: is already too much. That Wendy's Burger has already shrunk

150
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: in the past few years. The fry stink. Now, the

151
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: frosty is still a good product, but I'm not gonna

152
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: go pay fifteen sixteen dollars for something that should be

153
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: nine dollars.

154
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's a couple factors that are in our

155
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: favor on this because I don't eat it Wendy's much.

156
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 3: I've eaten there in years, to be honest with Yeah,

157
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 3: but back in my big eating days, I was a

158
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: regular at Wendy's.

159
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: I was there two or three times a week.

160
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 3: I got the chicken sandwich combo, and I got the nuggets,

161
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 3: and then sometimes I get the frosty.

162
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're an unofficial taste tester. Yeah, I mean I

163
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: love that.

164
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 3: I never really got into the burgers at Wendy's, the

165
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 3: square burgers.

166
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: I always went with the chicken. I actually like Wendy's burgers.

167
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: I like the way the bread, the meat and the

168
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: cheese and their bacon all squished together. Yeah.

169
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 3: I just fell in love with the chicken sandwich Wendy's.

170
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 3: And I remember a story. Somebody told me that Dave Thomas,

171
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 3: the guy that founded Wendy's, had worked with the guy

172
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: from KFC. So it was like the same quality of

173
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 3: chicken or whatever. It was like they were known for

174
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: their chick like Dave Thomas. Maybe I'm talking about my

175
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 3: ass boy, speaking of Dave Thomas, what would he think

176
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 3: of this? Oh, Dave Thomas is rolling rolling over in

177
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 3: his grave right now. How dare them?

178
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: Yeah?

179
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 3: So you got the public backlash. There's a couple of

180
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 3: other things here. You've got Wall Street, right, if this

181
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 3: affects the sales of Wendy's food, then that you got

182
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 3: the stock market people that will chime in and say, hey,

183
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 3: wait a minute. You know you're a big court company.

184
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 3: This is part of a big company. This is not good.

185
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: But you also have I wouldn't be shocked if the

186
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 3: FTC gets involved in this, the Federal Trade Commission, because

187
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 3: I did read something somewhat recently about Amazon facing the FTC.

188
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 3: There's a lawsuit accusing them of unfair practices and it

189
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 3: involves Amazon has been doing this with their the price

190
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 3: of products, which makes no sense to me, but they

191
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 3: they've ended up raising prices apparently that's the accusation. Anyway,

192
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 3: They've raised prices at certain times and overcharged sellers as well.

193
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 3: They prevented them from lowering prices.

194
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: So there's.

195
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 3: There's a possibly the government, which you know, all we

196
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 3: need is bureaucracy, to get involved in that. But I

197
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 3: stand with the fast food and as we pointed out

198
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: Danny in a previous episode of the show, the one

199
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 3: thing about fast food restaurants you almost never find one

200
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 3: fast food restaurant. You find a cluster of fast food restaurant,

201
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 3: it's not going to find like a Windy's by itself

202
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 3: on an island. You're going to find a Windy's, and

203
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 3: then maybe they'll be like a Burger King, which you

204
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: know I pick fans of. But Arby's your favorite.

205
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: You love Arby's.

206
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 3: You took the family there, did the famous Arby's review

207
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 3: on the podcast and all that.

208
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: So you say have some money laundering operation? Is that

209
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: your theory? Yeah, because I still don't know anybody who

210
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: eats at an Arby's. I mean I remember as a kid,

211
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: we'd go in there and get those weird beef sandwiches

212
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: or whatever they're no or with the with that weird

213
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: melted cheese on the weird meat. But the Arby's I

214
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: see around us here in this area of LA there's

215
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: never anybody there. So I just figure it's a front

216
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: for a drug lord. That's reasonable.

217
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 3: I used to eat at Arby's a lot many years ago,

218
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 3: and I would when I lived even as an adult.

219
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 3: I lived in Hollywood and there was an Arby's on

220
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 3: I think it was on Sunset, which is still there.

221
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 3: I was, I was in Hollywood the other day, and

222
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 3: there's an Arby's still there. And here's here's an interesting

223
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 3: question and very difficult to answer. What is thinner, Danny

224
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 3: the Rby's roast beef or the toilet paper at a

225
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 3: truck stop?

226
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: You know that? Really thin? Yeah, one ply toilet paper.

227
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: It's really neck and neck. You mentioned government a few

228
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: minutes ago, and to take a full star away from

229
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: our podcast rating, let's get into that for a second.

230
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 3: No, No, stay away from the politics, Ma Mana, that's

231
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 3: a third rail.

232
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: Someone's gonna get triggered through. I liked your show, but

233
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: you mentioned Blake, Ma Maya. This is what happened to

234
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: podcast when Gagon was doing it. Look, I'm not a

235
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: fan of big government controlling everything in our lives, but

236
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: this is one instance where I would like a leader

237
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: to step up and say, you know what, I have kids,

238
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: just like most of Americans do you. I'm not gonna

239
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: let this happen on my watch, shrinking the product and

240
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: screwing the average American who does not get a cost

241
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: of living rays each year. When's the last time any

242
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: of us got raises from our jobs. This would be

243
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: a different conversation if all of us got regular raises

244
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: to amend things for the cost of living. That's not happening.

245
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: Everything around us is shooting way up in price. Because

246
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: the argument here could be like, well, don't go to

247
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: fast food, just cook at home, all right, bastard, go

248
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: to the grocery store and get two bags of groceries

249
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: for your family. That's two hundred bucks. So there's no

250
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: easy way out with this. We're not getting raises at

251
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: our jobs. So one government official who's in a high

252
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: spot needs to step up for all of us right

253
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: now and put their foot down.

254
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 3: Well, and what ends up happening is the politicians will

255
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 3: say something. Joe Biden, if I'm not mistaken, he talked

256
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 3: about how he was going to do something to end

257
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 3: resort fees. Nice place, and they said, well, there's a

258
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 3: resort fee and they tack that. Of of course they don't

259
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 3: advertise that that's a tack on ad on fee, and

260
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 3: he said he was going to take care of that.

261
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 3: I've been to Vegas a bunch. I I'm I'm still

262
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 3: paying resort fees. There's nothing has happened. Now, you say

263
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 3: something to get votes, and then you get somebody sends

264
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 3: you some money in.

265
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: The mail and then you're like, Okay, I forget about that.

266
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 1: I'll move on. Yeah, something else. But the big question

267
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: is will we ever have a politician in our life

268
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: who sticks to what they say and actually does something

269
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: for a positive change in our lives, so that we

270
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: could maybe, I don't know, live the American dream. I

271
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 1: don't know about you, Ben, but that's been far out

272
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: of our reach for years and years, and it just

273
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: seems like things are getting worse.

274
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the way the establishment is, right, the establishment,

275
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 3: you would say, if you came in as an outsider,

276
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: I mean, look, we saw what happened with Trump. As

277
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: an outsider, you got attacked by everybody, right, all the

278
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 3: establishment and all that. And if you have somebody as

279
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 3: an outside, it's gonna be after somebody young, I would think, right,

280
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 3: that can captivate people, but most of the people that

281
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 3: vote are old.

282
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. So well, we talked about this last weekend that

283
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: it would either take a change in the way these

284
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: parties all operate. I don't know, maybe an independent who

285
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: could get both sides to kind of split the difference

286
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: down the middle. I don't know what it's gonna take,

287
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: but I'm just wondering for the sake of Koha my

288
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: kid down the road, is he going to be able

289
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: to get a job where he actually can afford to

290
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: be middle class? Yeah? What what is that? What is

291
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: middle class? Like?

292
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 3: How much do you have to make? Do you have

293
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 3: to make one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to be considered?

294
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: Dude? Nowadays where we live, it's three hundred and fifty

295
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to be middle class. Yeah, it's it's insane.

296
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 3: Anyway, all right, does that end the political part of

297
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 3: the podcast?

298
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: We know, I don't think I don't think that's very political.

299
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: Well we're Yeah, what we're talking about is more like

300
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: full sense, Yeah, common sense and for the good of

301
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: our country. I mean it would As sports fans, we

302
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: all discussed and debated this when we got peacocked on

303
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: that playoff game, and and this this is kind of

304
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: in that same category, but worse because you know, it's

305
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: a luxury to watch sports and stream all these different

306
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: services that we have monthly. It shouldn't be a privilege

307
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: just eat normal food throughout the month, and our grocery

308
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: bills right now, Ben, with three kids, we're dying right now.

309
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: I mean, we just don't know. It took us five

310
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: months to save up for a one week trip, and

311
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: a lot of the reason why we can't save any

312
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: money right now is because of our grocery bills.

313
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's insane. Well, may I recommend Danny intermitute fasting.

314
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 3: Just tell the kids to eat one meal every other

315
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 3: day and you'll be back to where you were right

316
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 3: And then when they raise prices again, just tell them

317
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 3: never to eat again.

318
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: Just fast all the time.

319
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 3: And you'll be good to go. I wanted to turn

320
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 3: the page. I did want to think there was a

321
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,960

323
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 3: Mexican border.

324
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: It's a border town. Yeah, it's a little little small

325
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: town in Texas. And uh, listener.

326
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 3: And I apologize in advance if I'm getting this wrong.

327
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,640

328
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 3: is that was sent, but I think the guy's name

329
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 3: was Jose from Donna, Texas. If not, I humbly apologize.

330
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 3: You can email me and call me a jackass and.

331
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: I will correct that.

332
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 3: But he has he has made me this listener from Donna,

333
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 3: Texas a Bucky baller. Now, have you ever been to BUCkies,

334
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 3: the famous gas station truck stop in Texas and all

335
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 3: over the South.

336
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: Have you ever been there?

337
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 3: No, but I know about it thanks to you. Yes,

338
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 3: I have heard about BUCkies. I saw a documentary on

339
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 3: I don't know YouTuber it was. There was a YouTuber

340
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 3: influencers that were somehow I popped popped on my feed

341
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 3: and they were at this BUCkies the world's biggest convenience

342
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 3: store or whatever. It was the largest convenience store in

343
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 3: the world. And whatnot, which I don't think is I

344
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 3: think the new record is actually in Tennessee by a

345
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 3: BUCkies location in Tennessee.

346
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 1: The one in Texas now is not. They don't have

347
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: the record anymore.

348
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 3: What I saw, but this thing is like seventy four

349
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 3: thousand square.

350
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: Feet for a convenience store. It's ridiculous.

351
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 3: But so anyway, this guy call Jose from Donna, Texas.

352
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 3: He sent in a Buckis gift package and very nice.

353
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 3: I got a little shirt, I got a snack item

354
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 3: from BUCkies. Now BUCkies it was started. I looked this up.

355
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 3: I want to know more about BUCkies. That the nickname

356
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 3: of the founder was arch Beaver Applin and because of that,

357
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 3: BUCkies Beaver well, it was a form of his childhood

358
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 3: name Beaver and the name of his labradors dog, Buck.

359
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: So that's that's how that worked there. And these things

360
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: are open all that's like, you know, we have seven.

361
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 3: To eleven, which is national chain, BUCkies of regional chain,

362
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 3: and they're open all all hours, all days and all

363
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 3: that stuff, and mostly in Texas, but they have spread out.

364
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 3: They're in Alabama, there's locations all over the South, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky,

365
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 3: and South Carolina. So I'm I'm gonna have to go

366
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 3: to South Carolina. When I'm in South Carolina later this year,

367
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 3: I'm gonna find a BUCkies. That's gonna be on my

368
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 3: to do list. And the people I'm with will say,

369
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 3: what the f is wrong with you?

370
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:29,959
Speaker 1: Why?

371
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 3: Why do you need to stop at a convenience store?

372
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 3: And they also have the record for the world's longest car.

373
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: Wash at BUCkies, they have.

Speaker 3: So there's there's that. The food's supposedly amazing. Now what

376
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 3: I got in the mail from our friend in Donna, Texas,

Speaker 3: is you know what it is. It's like, don't it's

379
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 3: not what you think it's. It's it's like popcorn or no,

Speaker 3: to the Internet, that is the number one product that

383
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 3: that is the most popular snack item at BUCkies.

384
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: So beavers. Yeah.

385
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,159

388
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 3: they open, they were known for bathrooms, clean bathrooms, and

389
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 3: cheap ice, which is really all you need to do

390
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 3: if you're a truck stop, not a truck stop, but

391
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 3: a comedian store. Clean bathrooms, ice, that's good to go.

392
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 3: So anyway, that was my Bucky ballers. I like the

393

416
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 3: had made some cookies. I think we talked about this.

417
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 3: I don't know in the previous episode. But last weekend

418
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 3: I had a buddy of mine come in from Texas

419
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 3: and it doesn't come out very often, and I've known

420
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 3: this guy since elementary school. The only friend I have

421
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 3: from elementary school, my longest standard you know, a statue friend.

422
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 3: So we hung out in the playgrounds back in the

423
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 3: day and I were both middle aged dudes. And and

424
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 3: he lives in Dallas, and so he comes out to CA.

425
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 3: He comes out to California a lot. Uh, well, I

426
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 3: said a lot. You know, once a year maybe, but

427
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 3: sometimes I don't see him because he's got other things

428
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 3: going on. So he was gonna stay at the Mallard

429
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 3: mansion for a couple of days.

430
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: So I went in. I made some peanut brittle, I made.

431
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 3: Some some cookies and then Eddie was like, hey, I

432
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 3: I want one of those cookies.

433
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: And I said, well, okay, I'll see what I can do.

434
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 3: So I had a few left at three left right,

435
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,640

436
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 3: chocolate chip bakery style peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. And

437
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 3: these things came out pretty good. It's hard to f

438
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 3: up a cookie. It is difficult to f one up.

439
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 3: But I've been like an artisan. This is my hobby.

440
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 3: On the weekends, I futz around in the kitchen and

441
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 3: try to master the different recipes that I found and

442
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 3: put together and whatnot.

443
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: So I made the cookies. He's like, I want what

444
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: So I find it.

445
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 3: And the other night I brought them in, and I

446
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 3: had three cookies that were left to bring in.

447
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: So I brought the cookies in.

497
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: I'm kind of getting to know her. I've seen her

498
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: a few times in the hallways, but we don't really

499
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: know each other.

500
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,600

Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know.

504
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 3: And then I looked down and I saw that the

505
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 3: shirt I was wearing had I put two and two

506
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 3: like a light bulb one on them.

507
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

508
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the shirt I was wearing had I had

509
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 3: this like like kind of fur on it.

510
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: It was like some's in your throat right now? Yeah yeah. Yeah.

511
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 3: So my dog Luigi, the mix between a.

512
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: Pug and a French bull dog.

513
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 3: He's a shitter. I bet oh big time. And I've

514
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 3: never had a dog that sheds ever. I mean, I

515
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 3: just I don't let me take that back. I've had

516
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 3: dogs that shed, but not nearly as much as Luigi.

517
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 3: This dog is just spitting hair everywhere.

518
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: The dog goes.

519
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 3: But what had happened here, because I didn't even hang

520
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 3: out with Luigi the day of this event the radio show.

521
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 3: So I've determined it's very hairy situation here. That the laundry.

522
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 3: My wife usually handles the laundry.

523
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: I do the dishes.

524
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 3: And so my wife had put some of the clothes

525
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 3: down on one of the chairs in the living room,

526
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 3: and before she could put them away, she kind of

527
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 3: left them there for a little bit. Luigi decided he

528
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 3: wanted to roll around in the clothes, and I guess

529
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 3: she didn't notice it, but I, of course, I was

530
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 3: in a hurry to get to have a long drive.

531
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: Very long drive. The company wants me to come in.

532
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 3: I thank them for that, and so I drive in

533
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 3: and it takes a long time to get there, so

534
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 3: I might kind.

535
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: Of in a hurry, and I grabbed the shirt and

536
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: I didn't really look at it.

537
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 3: I figured it's it's hung up, it's probably clean, nothing

538
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 3: to worry about there, and yeah, so then I was.

539
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: Like kind of self conscious to the rest of the night.

540
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: I was like, man, may you misthink.

541
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 3: I'm like like a pig or something like that, right,

542
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 3: But I mean it was an honest mistake, Daddy, It's

543
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 3: an honest mistake. I mean, I didn't realize. Maybe I

544
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 3: should have looked at it when I when I put

545
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 3: it on.

546
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: But I just like, h I gotta go get it

547
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: out of here. There was a time, Big Ben where

548
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: I had just started dating this fine young lady from

549
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: Westlake Village and I went over to her house. She

550
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: lived with a roommate in a nice house and they

551
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: had pets. She had a dog, and a roommate had

552
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: like a cat and a dog, so there are three

553
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: pets running around this house. And I went over. They

554
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 1: invited me over for a game night, and like that game.

555
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 3: Night's a big night. That's a that's a step, that's

556
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 3: a step, stepping stone.

557
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: Yeah right. We hadn't even hooked up like that yet,

558
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: maybe made out or something, but hadn't gone all the way.

559
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: So what am I in junior high? So you know,

560
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: game night ends and I'm like, thank god, man, I

561
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: hate this stupid board game that they were playing. She's like,

562
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: why don't you come into my bedroom and let's hang out.

563
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: And I'm like yeah. I go into her bedroom and

564
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: the first thing I see she had the stairs, the

565
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: doggy stairs, next to her bed. Okay, and then she says, oh,

566
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 1: sit down on the bed next to me. And I

567
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: sat down ben and her dog was white. There was

568
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 1: this white fur, like a coating on her comforter of

569
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 1: white fur. Oh boy. I carefully maneuvered myself. And of course,

570
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: as a Raiders fan, what color do you think I

571

573
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: and like a nice new Raider shirt on. It was

574
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: during football season. I was representing. I was very careful though,

575
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: and I like down next to her on her bed

576
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: and we talked, and then I you know, we said

577
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: our good night, our goodbye. I leave and I needed

578
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: to stop at the gas station to get some gas.

579
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: I'll never forget this. I get out of my car,

580
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: grab the pump, start pumping gas, and I happened to

581
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: look down from my ankle all the way up to

582
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 1: my chest. I looked like a muppet I had. I

583
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: was just covered in white fur.

584
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:29,280

00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 3: do today. They'd have different technology, obviously when they play games,

622
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 3: and they'd have different recreational activities to pass the time.

623
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 3: But one of the things that they used involved using

624
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 3: small sticks to mark the actual passing minutes on the ground,

625
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 3: and so they they would await the completion of task,

626
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 3: the you know, or the arrival of some big event

627
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 3: that they were having in ancient times, and they would

628
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 3: playfully kill time by they'd arrange these sticks or markers

629
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 3: into different patterns. They kind of play games, and that

630
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 3: was the entertainment. And over time the practice evolved into

631
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 3: the expression, the figurative expression of kill time, which is

632
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 3: symbolizing the act of obviously engaging in activities to pass

633
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 3: idle moments or periods where you're waiting for something to happen.

634
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 3: The earliest recorded instance of the phrase time to kill

635
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 3: dates back to fifteen ninety all the way back to

636
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 3: fifteen nineties, so that phrase kill time has been around

637
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 3: for a while.
