And that is what we're here to celebrate a life in podcasting. Oh Oh That the bill has come to the Piper is begun to play his little tune is jaunty tune That lures your wallet out of its protective case attached to your chain. Yes, and Starts to sneak those five dollar bills out once a month. It's the max fun driver Everybody welcome to this very special episode. We should say it is time to a piper as Justin said the piper He's got bills to pay guys like people never talk about this, but like yeah piper And it's it's all reasonable stuff, you know, it's not like he doesn't have wild expenses or anything

But like piping is a job And you have to pay him or else and we don't talk about this a lot when we talk about the pipe piper We talk about his great getting rid of rats or in this case as Justin has put it Your money five dollar bills Yes, but if that doesn't happen if he does if he is not fairly compensated for that then he takes the kids Right, he takes all the kids in town He plays this wonderful flute and makes all the children leave and then the people in town are like are you fucking kidding me? Piper that is such an unnecessary escalation

So we're not saying if you don't like support the max fun drive and support our shows Then we'll play a magic flute that makes the kids leave. Yeah, but but now it's not off the table But here's the thing at the end of the day They hired him to do a job get the rats out of town. Yeah, he did it Yeah, and they're like, oh cool the rats are gone. Well, we're not paying you now the rats are already gone Which is pretty messed up pretty not taking the kids. You're right huge A lot of people make like get a lot of people forget that the pied piper will play his beautiful music For free for anybody to listen and enjoy and a lot of people will listen to his great music while they're washing dishes

You know, they'll open a window or they're like doing laundry and they sometimes Take it for granted that you know, he's always gonna be there That you know, then there and they forget that it's you know, then he relies on them Yeah, just because it's free to listen. He relies on their generosity maximum fun drive Or Maximum fun.org now, it's not maximum fun drive. Don't listen to me. It's maximum fun.org Ford slash join. That's the URL go there Right now because it is on the max fun drive the one time you're we come to you and say hey these shows they're artists owned

Their audience supported. That's you. Yeah That's you that's the only reason our shows exist is because of your generosity and we need you now if you've never gotten on board Then you need to head on over to maximum fun.org Ford slash join for just five bucks a month if you can pledge five bucks a month You are going to be unlocking an absolute treasure trove literal hundreds of hours of bonus content and there is a What Truly wild assortment. Maybe the most unhinged

D&D campaign that has ever existed as designed by my daughter Charlie. Yep. There is a pranky doodle dandy What about this year Justin? What about this year this year we This one's still evolving folks. This one is exciting We did a special episode record brainstorming a new Transmedia property that we can sort of lean into that pays residuals in the way the podcasting is not and then we pitched it to our agent Joel and It's still an evolving story the details of which we have to reveal to you

Yes, at some point in the near future. I'll just put it this way We thought it was so wildly unhinged that it would be that we'd call Joel and Joel would be like You guys are fired even though I'm your agent and instead Joe was like, okay I'll talk to people so you can hear all of that and more and all the other there's more levels if you're already a supporter Maybe it's time to up that their support check that out maximum fun org slash join cuz the other thing about the pipe piper is you think pipe Piper he's been out there to it and his horn and flute and stuff for 12 years He's probably like doing doing the like the best he's ever done But then you got to remember that the pipe piper for the last couple years hasn't been able to toot his flute out in public

Because of the bubonic plague or what have you yeah? And so and so maybe the pipe piper could use some some extra support that's true And also just one more thing if you do become a supporter make sure Talk about on social media We're all so grateful for that and keep an eye on the mbm bm slash Macri family account cuz we're gonna be announcing some special weird goals like we've done in the past But that's not what I want to talk about right now guys. Okay been a little over one weeks. It should look to me Thank you. It's been a solid 24 hours. We've all been living with the announcement of man versus be now

And I just we don't have any new information We haven't even released the episode. No, it's not out yet, but I just want to know how's your heart? How's your walk going guys? Yeah, what this is that the intro that you want to do to this episode is just redoing the one we did last This isn't an inch recorded which we recorded for the audience's clarification yesterday yesterday Yes, exactly. I just want to know if you've marinated in it how you're feeling. I share I did share with my wife Yeah, the image. She's like we're absolutely watching that. Uh-huh. I'll burn in hell first But then I said of course we'll watch it cuz we're gonna be live streaming every second of it screen caps

Jeff's the whole thing when I told my wife. She said, um, oh, yeah, he's got baby now. He needs that money Which was an excellent point. I think on Teresa's part. Yeah I want to make something that baby can enjoy cuz babies hate bees. Yeah, babies can't do anything about me. I love you guys I can't I can't talk about man versus bee again I'm a sneaking suspicion. We're gonna get a lot of feedback that we went a little hard on man versus bee Yeah Yeah

Let's instead just as a thought experiment, okay Read a listener's question and then try attempt to answer it. Oh weird. Okay. Okay. I mean just like I don't know It's just thought yeah, let's do it Recently I started a new job where one of the perks is that we have a cabinet full of office supplies that are free for us to take Sorry, it's just the idea of a office of that has cabinet with office supplies in it being a perk of the job Chill up my spine. Yeah, the essential tools you need to do your work. There are pins. There are notepads and Yes, and Jimmy clips. Yeah, you have to put on your penis. Yeah It keeps you from finishing. What's it?

What's a Jimmy clip, huh? Well, you know how sometimes you finish too fast. Yeah. Yeah, never You understand the concept though that one could finish too fast a Jimmy clip just kind of Prevents that by sort of closing everything up down there. Yeah. Yeah. Does it get in the way? Oh, absolutely. It does is it wildly painful Everyone involved effective. I mean, yeah, and that's sort of brute force way Beloved listener a Jimmy clip is Something that you it is a piece of guitar paraphernalia That tightens your tone by where you put it up near the the head of your guitar and it tightens your tone I think it maybe makes palm muting easier. I don't know what you think a Jimmy clip is

This is now the question the right. Yeah, there is no question risk a question raised. Yeah, this is not what a Jimmy clip is What's a Jimmy clip? Okay, what could it be could be a binder clip one of those it's like, you know You squeeze the two sides and it opens up. Let's think of it a mouth. That's what I think of it as yeah And that is what I and that is what you would apply to the genitals Is it possible that this listener maybe reflight refers to paper as Jimmy just in general? News hand me that news Jimmy. I want to read the good news today Is this a Xerox slash copier kind of situation where we've been calling paper clips paper clips the whole time

But that's the like brand name and Jimmy clip is just the actual name like hook-and-loop instead of Velcro Is that what we're dealing with? I can't fathom. I've googled it in every way I could think of yeah, that's like the best I've come up with so far is Jimmy Fallon a clip of Jimmy Fallon Performing with Migos using office supplies. That's all I can get I can't get I can't get anything else now is it possible that they work in an office based around ice cream and Jimmy's aka sprinkles. This is a clip to hold the Jimmy's together It's possible, but who but I think it should be illegal to call sprinkles Jimmy's that's an excellent point Their name is James. Thank you now. I have found a single track on title

where an artist guest performed on a Rap track called plan B and it guest stars a person named Jimmy paper clips Which maybe that's a reference to him being in there to one-time rapper Jimmy paper clips Oh, I accidentally clicked it now. I'm listening to hey, this is good. This is good stuff Jimmy. All right It's good. Should we should we do the rest of the question or I guess I just that's the first piece of advice It's just don't call them that they're not that they're not that whatever it is And this is and my friend as far as internet is this is not a regional thing. I think it's a youth thing However, there is a sign on the cabinet that discourages any hoarding of the office supplies

I do understand they don't want us to clean out the cabinet, but my desk is nowhere near the cabinet So I want to go ahead and take what I know I will use and not have to come back to the cabinet too frequently My question is how much can I take before it's considered hoarding or how do I get all the supplies? I need my desk that raise suspicions. That's from admin anxiety in Atlanta I do want to I do want to put in a picture right here that sitting is killing us And maybe it's not the worst thing to have a little built-in like stroll Yeah, just to get the circulation just to steady yourself. Yeah, I'll say it's sitting has been great for me My whole lot me and sitting are very well acquainted and I am still

Such a huge I can't get enough of this stuff I would actually go one step further and say that maybe Justin the problem is Sitting isn't requiring enough and we should recline. We need more Shays lounges Oh, that's good. Yeah, is that sitting is the problem Justin, but you know what so is standing? Yeah, what about lying down desks, huh? Yes, go the opposite way. Yes This is what I'm saying zero G desks Yeah, let you know those thing where it's just like not only is a VR helmet Like I also walk on the little slippery disc and so it's like I'm walking in there a desk like that

But I'm laying down and I can maybe do a 360 spin in there That gyroscope is it just a sort of sensory deprivation work station? Yes, please Also, is it so bad to have an excuse to get up from your desk and not work for the time? It takes to walk over there and back and then if your boss is like, hey, you didn't get anything done today You're like, I just kept running out of jimmy clips my dude I'm getting more jimmies. You don't worry. You got me all anxious with this note about not hoarding the supply So I only do take one jimmy clip at a time and then I have to come back And that's my whole day is like 60 to 70 trips to the cabinet just to get 60 to 70 jimmy clips

This sucks This sucks that this is a thing that you have to that any human being Has to think about to the point of being even a little bit stressed is how many work Supplies is too many work supplies to take to my desk. What do you think you're gonna do with them? Do you think that you're gonna build some sort of mobile out of jimmy clips whatever and hold on? Hey, time out griffin. You've never worked an office job. Yes I'd take it from me a person who has the idea of like well, it's 10 a.m. And I'm done with my work

I could go ask what else they need me to work on or I could make a decorative picture out of different colored You know post-it notes arranged in a way that it looks like Mario's face Oh, I know what I'll be doing today. Yeah, and do you work in Nintendo at this? Not at that point, but then what's that? Oh, I made this collage out of post-it notes walking by well It's Mario himself and he sees that he's like it's a me and I'm like it's a you And then he hires me and what's that now? I'm his bag man Which I think I'm his valet man, you know, yes

Yeah, and his body man. Yeah, and then pretty soon. Look at me. I'm running the whole show. So Maybe it's not so bad Everybody try that out. Yeah, that's the one way to get hired by Nintendo. Yep There's also you could push you could push Reggie fees in me out of the way of a Speeding bus and he doesn't work there anymore, but he is means you he is very big and fun to think about Herman Munster as quality Dragon he's just fun to think that's not mean Herman Munster's a beef cake. Yeah, let me Jerry O'Connell. Yeah Jerry O'Connell seems fun. He does doesn't he so they seem like he'd be fun and approachable

I tweeted him about my secret identity and he's like your second birthday is asking about that today And I was like, do you want to be like my best friend or what's up? Nothing like I just feel like he's nervous. He doesn't know how to respond He doesn't want to embarrass himself that is a treacherous balloon to float in the year of our Lord 2022 I feel like right this person seems like a good Yeah, anything anybody Good period. Um, you another question. I Have

This is a great great opening to a question this I know everything about this person I think I bet I could get their social security number best on this first question. I have a fedora. It's actually a trilby But who cares? Well, I think that's a I think that's a haiku. I'm pretty sure that's I have a fedora It's actually a trilby, but who cares? Oh, we're just very close though silent. Yeah, it has been with me for 12 years Even survived being stolen by a hurricane in 2012 and washed up in parking lot. What? It's a it. It's it wait. They have someone bounded. Yeah, okay It's a survivor from a bygone age. Ain't that the trail? Well, yeah, should I get rid of my hat? I

Moving so it might be time. Yeah, here's a photo for the slack Trilling for a trilby in Los Angeles. I Don't know you that well. Oh Really cuz you said earlier you could like give their social security number Justin, so which one I read that I read you're right Travis I I I don't know you for a very long time. There you go. Is that better? Yeah. Um grammatically. I know but conceptually. Yes, I feel like From what I can read in this question. I feel like you and the hat have become inseparable at this point I feel like the hat wrote the question I mean really I mean at this point literally the hat was taken from you by an act of God and made its way back to you

Yeah, God tried to take the the hat and and couldn't do it Who are you to just casually toss it in the dumpster? I will also say this no matter what the item is whether it be clothing or decoration whatever after 12 years You then I don't think you have to justify to anyone Why you have it because there's someone's like why you have that I'm like I've had it for like a long time I had it for 12 years, right? Like that's just like oh at this point It's become part of your yeah your routine that that had exists you've long passed that like

Awkward liminal space where you've had the hat for like five years And so some people associate you with the hat but not everyone so you can get rid of it a 12 year hat My god, yeah the memories that's the the the juices you've imbued in this thing is You can't I don't think you can get rid of it now. Don't get me wrong Aesthetically, I don't think many people unless you are Bob Hoskins and who frame Roger Rabbit I don't think you can pull off this particular hat. Um, it seems like a very sort of specific seas That's your pole and not Indiana Jones, huh? Indiana Jones's hat didn't have it was not quite as decorative as as this This was very straight forward more of a wide brim. This is a trilby not a fedora after all

Yeah, I do you look good in it. Hmm. Oh That would have been a better image to send a hey, yeah, I will say this I'm gonna read between the line I'm gonna infer for a moment here. Oh I I would pose this as a potential backstories boys that they bought this hat and They put it on they're like, I don't know and then someone gave them a hard time about it So they doubled down on the hat and like no, I love this hat, right and their hurricane took it and they're like, oh, I'm free I'm free from the hat. Well, it came back shit mask and now yes This is a mask situation because moving is not a time or just like I have to get rid of this hat that takes up

Let's be honest and not that much space Right, so if they're asking about if they should get rid of it or not I think they're looking for us to say yes, so they're like I had to get rid of it I was a man. I always told me to yeah, I want to go back to Griffin's question I and say that I really hope this person thinks they look good in the hat Yeah, because the idea that you would do sort of like a self-shaming You know self-flagellation aesthetic flagellation. Yeah by wearing a hat You think looks bad for 12 years. Yeah is actually too sad for me to to to think on I hope that's not unless the problem

Is you found yourself to be too beautiful sans hat and you got sick of all of the attention I see people just flinging themselves out you offering you modeling deals left and right and you're like I gotta do something They got Yeah, real horns like as a Brock. That would be a good look though. Is that what you're saying be good? Yeah, I mean, I guess so people want to fuck Darth Maul Every day people do want to be fucking Darth Maul. I've noticed that it's I don't know when this thing started He's a bad man who did hurt Qui-Gon Jinn I

Well, I sure hope you like this hat because if not this has been a terrible waste of our time like thank you Yeah, that was my next thought was that if you're not actually torn up about this and instead you came to us with This very specific heat of I'm a hat owner Man alive. That's gonna really pee me. Oh Pee your right all your right. Oh, yeah now you could Find some sort of acrylic box to put it in on a mantle and be like that's the hat that God couldn't kill right Yeah, or you could and then you can like screw in a little plaque on it says this is Bob Hoskins This is real ass hat from who frame Roger Abbott. Oh, you know what we need to start doing

I think that people at home should adopt what they do at like sporting arenas when a player retires When there's a shirt where you're like, I love this shirt. It doesn't match my style anymore or whatever We should raise it up into the rafters of your house, right? It's just like now. It's on the ceiling. Oh, that's good That's really good Travis kind of hit you with another idea That is that I leapfrogged off that idea to get sure and I'm really happy about it. Give really into hockey Huh, and then wait for a player on the team that you like to score three goals in a single game Okay, goodbye fedora that what that one's going right out to celebrate the hat trick And then they fly that for Dora up into the rafters of the hockey area

No, you throw that fedora out and I think some teams they like put all the hats in a bucket And then as you walk out of the venue, you can maybe try and grab your hat back, but I know what's good grab this bus That can't be You're gonna have to voluntarily leave it behind. Is that my trilby now someone else was to throw in that trilby I don't know. I saw you throw it. I saw you throw it. No, I wasn't Mine was mine. My trilby definitely looked way cooler than this drill. Have you seen who frame Roger Rabbit mine? Looked like that looked exact. It actually was that one. I stole it from the studio lot I haven't in the curly box for a while, but then I threw it. I mean fuck

No, I didn't throw it. I might still at home in the box. Leave me alone. I'm going to Arby's Hey, listen speaking going to Arby's it would be great if you could support us in the max fun drive So that we can go get more Arby's Yeah, your your max fun membership pays to support the shows that you like on the network this I feel like this past year We have We have upped our game pretty dramatically.

As of our I said get from me Justin McAroy I said ASMR. I wouldn't say that you gave me tingles I got tingy-wingies, but it's fine I got tingy-wingies deep down And of course they originated from my nipples as all as they do That's the that's what Travis calls the epicenter Yeah, it goes then down under the armpits swirls around in there for a while then up the skull down into the nostril out The mouth and down to the tank comes close to the tank, but then it swerves back the last thing

I don't want to talk about that anymore. Oh, yeah. What's wrong? Are you there? Lots of people sent this one in More comfortable talking about our bodies with each other I'm filled. I'm actually comfortable with the amount of comfort that we have about that particular subject This is how to be okay at your first detention. I Love that. I wish I would love an article that was just how to be okay in general Yeah, I think we could all use that wakey-how article You never there's also lots of first things that I've done in my life that I wish I could go back and be okay at the first Yeah, I don't need to name them, but you could probably fill in a lot of the blanks

You've never gotten a detention before right? But today you just happened to lie about getting an a on an assignment that you never did and your teacher finds out oops That's terrible, but today it won't be wait what what kind of lie is that? Also, why would you teach your care? Yeah enough to give you detention. I got a a on the math test. You were absent during the math test You have detention now. That's not really a punishable Thing yeah, have you all ever had detention? Did you all ever get detention? Yeah. Yeah, I Got

Yeah, one time I got it one time me and Eric Stokes were cutting up in the library Cutting up books damn you must have been cutting up real hard. Yeah, it was pretty intense coming up I can't remember what I did, but I did Justin do you remember the guy I think was at our middle school Griffin to who on in spirit week always wore the Star Trek uniform? Yes, holy shit. Yeah. How's your memory that good trap? Well, I don't remember his name Griffin But I remember the guy who wore the Star Trek uniform at least once a year man He is cordially invited to our podcast whenever you want to host into the zoom call. I was in

His room for detention once it was like an all-day thing Which is also weird and I just remember I'd finished my work like two hours in and I had some comic books on my backpack That was a real cool dude, and I was like I finished my work Can I just sit here and read comic books and I was like, yeah, and it was not that bad all things considered everybody Detention kind of ruled I'm I'm really glad to hear that mine was uneventful It was in the art room and I got it because I accidentally knocked a table over and it actually fill in here in the leg And I got they did not like that her mom was a teacher

And so I feel like there was like a little bit of like if I don't get it She didn't get hurt or anything and it was an accident and then she wrote on the pink slip In an attempt to try and be cute Griffin flipped a table over to Like give me the detention, but you don't have to know I'm asking you now Is that were you trying to be cute when you know, I mean, I was I was goofing, but I wasn't like this will be cute I'll hurt this girl's leg. Yeah, like that's not my sort of vibe. Anyway, do you have anything you want to say Ashley? I'm really sorry Ashley. Like I I didn't even hit you that hard And it and it was an accident and you did forgive me right away

And you actually felt bad that I got detention, which was yeah That's very chill. That's a matter. That should count for something. It does matter. It does. There should be she wasn't person She was impressive. There should be there should be an option for that, right? Oh, I remember once my friend Hunter went to sit down in a chair and because of ADHD and impulse control I pulled the chair moved it and he fell on his butt and he literally said why did you do that? I said Hunter? I have no idea. I'm so sorry And the teacher's like what happened over there and I was like nothing. Don't worry about it. It was fine So solid hunter. It was a solid move hunter

Okay, so step one get the detention your teachers just talk to you and you are crying. This is bad This is bad Especially if it is at the beginning of the day because then you'll just have the worst day ever You need to take a breath and dry your eyes. This time is about you Ask if you may go to the restroom if you need a few minutes to yourself That's so strong if you have a full fucking breakdown and you're like May I be excused to collect my thoughts for this heinous punishment that you have laid at my feet? Now I could I could make the argument that it'd be way worse to get right at the end of the day when you think like oh

If only five minutes left and then I get to go home and play all the banjo kazoo I want and then the teachers like you Have to stay an extra like hour and a half or whatever And you're like what to have the rut if you have all day to get used to the idea and cancel your plans mentally I don't know that's as bad banjo and kazooie are waiting for me Yeah, I have made commitments that I intend to keep teacher. You don't understand They are they only get to live while I play the game If a friend or acquaintance even an enemy asks what is wrong do not tell them the whole world does not need to know What just happened that is your information for you to know and for them not to find out hey

I heard you flipped a table over on Ashley Fillinger. I don't know Anything about that actually that does not sound like anything. I would do does it you must powerful response Oh, is that what's going around? Oh? Interesting. I never thought that you would be one to fall prey to rumors and Oh Are you Fleetwood Mac because you're making a lot of rumors try to talk to the teacher Don't make excuses and don't try saying you didn't do it because they might think you are lying just explain What happened and tell them that you're sorry?

Let them know even if you don't truly that you understand why you were in trouble Tell them and be true to your word that you will not let it happen again. I mean You I've never known a teacher. That's like okay Undetentioned no detention. I mean if you sold it hard enough But also I like how a wiki had just slipped in there in the middle even if you feel nothing inside apologize Even even if you don't understand why you got I won't do it again, or I will do it again Which one is that is it? I'll do it The same amount where I just remembered that I this is not a particularly fun memory

But I got detention on the last day of high school. I attended Because they had started to crack down like really really really hard on being late for first period Because apparently it was just like an epidemic so they had like a zero-tolerance policy that they started doing this this one day and The last day of school mom was no no no my last day of I didn't attend The last like month of my senior year of high school Because mom was in the hospital and I'd stayed overnight And so at the Alex that my friend who picked me up from school or picked me up and drove me to school

We were like coming in late and somebody was like hey I'm sorry you got detention now, and I looked at them with this look of like oh, but oh, man You're gonna feel you're gonna feel pretty bad about this later I didn't say anything and the detention was I had to like clean up The lunch tables and like wipe them up and so like I I dutifully attended my my table wiping at lunch time and then the like vice principal of the school like came up was like You don't you need you can stop you don't have to do that And then I and then I called you Justin and you came to pick me up, and I never went back to school again

Everybody's working for the weekend When you get home, especially if your teachers contacted your parent They might be ticked off to say the least start start and this seems like bad advice by asking them how many Detentions them and their spouse have ever gotten That's so good. Yeah, I flipped a table over on Ashley philinger. What about what about you father and and what about you? Mother or father's spouse. Tell me a mother and or father's spouse Let them know Einstein even got in trouble every every now and then Table over on lots of other innocent students on Ashley phones. You're senior

If they won't quit interrupting you tell them respectfully, please let me explain I understand I made a mistake. Would you please let me explain what happened dad step three? Here we have step three keep your grades up. What step though. Yes Codex 5a do remember to keep your grades up regardless Step six when explaining don't cry talking your big boy slash girl voice or they Explain tell the full story even the mistakes dad dad spells. It's your mom Dad Ted spells. I do want to say where the fuck do you two get off? Yeah, you have to ask your parents to speak on their sins when you're not in trouble. Yeah, that's so

Essential give them to admit to stuff that you can then store away and use as ammunition later I hope my kids try to drop that on me so I can inform them that the whole point is to try to make humans That don't fuck up as much as yeah, right? That's humanity. It's just like incrementally fucking up less The the problem for I would say all of us is that our children have I would say hundreds of hours of examples of us fucking up Very yeah, right. They're gonna be like, let me go to YouTube. Give me one second I'll find audio evidence of you doing this exact thing. Oh, what's that? You're meant me for flipping a table on to Ashley fit into the third one moment Be respectful while you're in detention if you're not that's a good way to get another detention and get grounded because it takes two

To get grounded it takes it takes two Detentions to get grounded and pretty much sure household. I think we can all agree with that. That's standard anything else is a violation of the Geneva Convention Absolutely, that's it. That's it. I think that's a good thing on how to you don't want to break down in at your first detention Because it's a sign of weakness and then they'll just want to keep giving you detention because they get off on whatever small amount of power that they can Hold over over use you developing people, you know What if you what would you guys think about if they were like you have detention and you were like awesome? Thank you not sincere not a sarcastic way sincerely like oh, thank you guys. Thank you so much And they're like what I love it. I love that's so badass

Yeah, sure cuz me and Justin are doing a real dog shit job of it One of the things I've missed most over the last two years is going to live shows and going to conventions Because sometimes when we are doing these shows, it's easy to sit at our computers We record in three different places even and feel very disconnected from the people that we were making these shows for and Doing the live shows and having the people there in the audience and sharing that moment

We're doing like conventions where we get to do like meet and greets and stuff is a moment where we get to feel you know connected to the people we're making the show for and We haven't been able to do that But we have still done the max fun drives and it's always such a great reminder Once a year that we're not just like putting these things out into the void And that you know We get to make these four people who appreciate them and that we get to kind of share that connection with people And so I always get really excited around the max fun drive time because it's very energizing for us

Thank you Maximum fun.org Ford I just said Yeah, but I wanted to end yeah, and like do it while people are thinking about it. You know what I mean Yeah, exactly. Max. I'm about enough for system I've been learning to drive for the past year making slow but steady progress Something I found I've been doing is watching how people drive when I'm walking along a road Looking at how they handle roundabouts awkward junctions, etc

However, a couple of times I've been caught staring at these cars as if I'm glaring at the drivers brothers How do I communicate? I'm just watching and learning not trying to give them a death glare That's from slow, but sure in Southampton. I mean this is easy double thumbs up. Yeah, that is good great work out there Dumber thumbs up. You're driving. Yeah, this is like we need a great job horn, but for pedestrians I actually would cars how good they're doing at driving if I were the driver I would rather see that from someone on the sidewalk than someone Like in another car next to me because that's the thing I also do this as a driver where sometimes Oh, you I you know get hyper focused or zone out or something

And I'm looking at someone and then I forget like that I'm not just looking into a void or a television and that's another human being and then they turn and look at me and we make I contact for a minute and if they like parts and open their door and said why are you looking at me? I would have no answer to that And so I'd rather look over to the side of the road and just see someone give me a big thumbs up And that would make my day if a pedestrian tells you you're doing a great job Driving that's got to be one of the greatest compliments you can receive Because when you're in another car and you see someone in a car, you're like doing a good job driving

It's like well, yeah Because if I make an accident and smash into you the airbags and everything like we'll be all right But a pedestrian is like my life is in your hands right now Mmm, because the opposite is definitely true There's a lady in my neighborhood who I often pass and the look that she gives me is the most wither And at first I thought it was just me but my friends who have like come up people I've talked to like oh, yeah That woman hates people in cars is the only thing we can determine and so I have drastically oh when I see her I Become the most textbook like one mile under the speed limit

Like driver I can possibly be and yet still that with it Well, it's not just her permanent face her face changes when she sees me in the car I don't know what I can do so you're saying that when she is not present and your Residential neighborhood you absolutely rip shit down the lane I'm just saying 20 20 miles an hour. That's nothing is a joke. It feels like a fucking joke when I do that like Anyone behind me is like he's not really doing 20. I mean like I know I know what the sign says, but he's not doing 20 Right we can do 25 and it's right like what's the fucking difference in a school zone I get it because their young brains

Aren't developed enough to know like I should not step in front of the big the big steel beast Right that is that is car and I watch for children if I see that ball roll in the middle of the street I stop I get it I know what that means if I see a ball roll into the street two blocks away. I swerve into a tree I say not not even gonna fuck around with yeah, no way I see a pinwheel like catching the breeze and but I know I will get out and punch my own car in the front Like the Hulk to save that kid. I don't know signs that said that's like slow. There's children here I will turn around and I will drive in the other direction

I'll sell my car just so that there's no risk if I know there's kids not in vehicles Yeah, within a eyesight of me I will stop the car park it get out and walk the rest of the way sometimes I'll just 10 20 miles without a car just in case because I heard a child's laughter once in that city Yeah, I mean just got you but in a residential area fucking down there that shit up dog Yeah, dude The best is if you can get that swirl of leaves or a big splash of puddle and it's just like I'm doing it This is a car commercial now, baby. Yeah. Oh, that feels good

Up on a kid carrying a big tuba in a funny Hey But then you also feel bad like oh shit. Was that a kid was that a kid?

I mean I was already pretty scared of a truck carrying a bunch of logs on a place that logs aren't supposed to be like we Destroyed the logs so we could put down a road there, right?
