Starting point is 00:00:00 As soon as he's done popping we'll, like, cry. How's this of cards? I thought more slowly than I did. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Q, he's calvanting it again. So instead we have Frank V. Hello. Fan favorite Walt. Listener favorite. You know, one of the top draws, one of the top names. He's up there on the marquee with Sunday Jeff. There's no doubt about that.
Starting point is 00:01:21 Under him, definitely. You think so? You bow to Sunday Jeff? Absolutely. We all do, definitely. You think so? You bow to Sunday Jeff? Absolutely. We all do, don't. This episode of Tom Steve Davis brought to you commercial free, which is good for you guys, but not so great for us. No, I just I know people like certain people rely on it. Okay. And I know that I have a podcast that I look forward to weekly. And if it doesn't come out, it is kind of like a little deflating.
Starting point is 00:01:50 All right, that's good. So, so it's not for the money. It's the 10 years later. It's not for the money. It's for the money. It's for the motivated by the love of the art of podcasting. It's not about the dollars. It's for the people.
Starting point is 00:02:05 Could you call it art? Pod, please. I think so. I've never been more artistically able to express myself in any other way than with the last 10 years. So I definitely consider it a form of art. Now I'm not saying it's always funny or good, but. Other people would agree with that from Twitter.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Yeah. But, you know, I mean, trying different things or creating different, even sometimes it's artwork, sometimes it's audio work. It's, it runs the gambit of how you express yourself. All right, well said. An incident that art is, it appeals to some people, and not to others.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Everybody sees what they want to see within the art. I think, tell them, Steve Dave, is the crucifix dipped in urine. That's all pissed, Christ. Never that. in urine. That's all pissed Christ. Yeah. Every night. Every night. Every night. Every night. In the 90s, that was considered art.
Starting point is 00:03:10 People got very upset about pissed Christ. As well, they should not on a level of like, oh, this is sacrilegious, but on a level of like, seriously, you pee at a jar and put a crucifix in it and then like everybody's supposed to pay attention to you, which they did. I think he got whoever did it, got the exact reaction he wanted. And like Frank says, I mean, art can never be censored. It should never be censored. I don't care what it is. It may be wholly against everything that I stand for or may offend me so much, but it's
Starting point is 00:03:49 not so offensive that I'm like, it can't be shown or it can't be see the light of day, don't. Yeah, it's strange. I mean, I am holy against censorship. However, like when we did vulgar, Blockbuster wasn wasn't gonna take it unless like these two scenes were removed to ridiculous scenes and I'm like really that's it so not the rape but the bottle smash and over his head yeah and then there was like one other little thing that I can't even recall what it was did you did you stand
Starting point is 00:04:19 tall there did you buckle to blockbuster houses of cards or slowly than I did So I went for it. I mean because I didn't think I was in a position to be like fuck blockbuster Now I can say it. What are they gonna do to me? But back then yeah, they were like yes, it's probably a good move and I Took a step back and considered it and was like it's a bottle smashing on his head what's the big deal. I guess in the grander sense of things it's like it is a big deal because if they wanted to go after that what else are they going to go after? Why do you feel they pick that? Because I think people have to justify their jobs so if they give them a movie and they're like,
Starting point is 00:05:05 no, everything checks out, it's fine. What you, sorry, are they? Right. So they have to find stuff here and there. They're not gonna find it in your rated G-Fare or maybe even your rated PG-Fare, but something like Volga, they're gonna be like, this is a no brainer.
Starting point is 00:05:19 I can find something offensive in this. And so we can strike it and then I will get fired. Right. I get it. It's kind of like what I do at my job. You know, somebody turns a paper in and it feel like if I don't find something to correct, then it's gonna look like I didn't read it or look at it.
Starting point is 00:05:41 So sometimes you go looking for things to mark. Oh really? So if somebody turns into something that's really good, you're like, fuck. Yeah, no, I'm not disappointed if they're doing their work and they're doing it well. But if I glance through something and I don't find any mistakes when I'm going through it, I will go back and look at it even more thoroughly to make sure that hey, I didn't miss something because, you know, you start getting like two or three papers and it's like everything is perfect.
Starting point is 00:06:11 It's like, all right, am I just tuning things out? Am I not being as thorough as I should be? You're questioning yourself more than the person that turned it in? Absolutely. I'm always constantly questioning myself. That really is. But you said when you got down here to Jersey, that it hasn't been the best month for Frank five. No, what happened? Like what's been? It's, I don't know, I don't know what it is. The cloud is over my head. I read something last night that said like all these different planets are not aligned, but in something, you know, and people are
Starting point is 00:06:43 putting the blame on the planets or whatever. And I kind of have to believe something is a mis for this to happen. I mean, it's just been one of those things, it's been one of those months where it's been constant. You know, every little thing has seemed to have gone wrong. Like, you know, the first, like two weeks ago, I was sitting in my house and all of a sudden I heard a big bang and my garage door springs broke. And I just swathered down just the door is down and you just heard this. Yeah, like we thought somebody broke in. So I did with anybody would do I sent Mary to go see if somebody was in the
Starting point is 00:07:23 basement. And when we, when she didn't find anybody, I sent Mary to go see if somebody was in the basement. And when she didn't find anybody, I went into the garage and I looked and you could see it the spring broke. And the natural without the spring, the door is like 5,000 pounds, you can't lift it. So I had a call to the garage people and have them come out. And it's funny because I just got in my first paycheck, I have a new job at the college. So I'm getting paid a little bit more money. And I made the mistake of being happy
Starting point is 00:07:46 because I said to Mary, they said, this is, this is, this is the first person that I agree with you. Yeah, me too. Never be happy. Walk around with a stupid grin on your face like, everything's great. That was just, that's exactly the set to us.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Everything's great. I'm ready to get it. And I said, oh, you know what, we're making a little bit more money. I said, this is great, you know? And then immediately after I did that, Grogdor Springs broke $400 to replace the Grogdor Springs. And I'm like, all right, you know, I have it.
Starting point is 00:08:13 I said, so we'll pay it out and everything. And then it was like three days later, Mary calls me and she goes, the septic is acting up. That septic has been the pain of my existence since we moved into that house. Now is everybody in upstate New York on septic is acting up. That septic has been the pain of my existence since we moved into the house. Now, is everybody in upstate New York on septic? Are there no like sores? No, if you live in, like we live in a little bit more
Starting point is 00:08:33 of a rural area. So rural areas are on septic. If you're in a city or a suburb, it's. Have you always lived with a septic tank? I've always lived with sores. Oh, okay, so the first time you ever, you know, in septic tank. Were you leery when you bought the house? You're like, I don't know sewers. Oh, okay, so the first time you ever in the septic tank, were you leery
Starting point is 00:08:45 when you bought the house? You're like, I don't know about this. No, because Mary insisted that there was no difference. I don't know. Well, she wrong. Oh, she couldn't be more wrong. She couldn't be more wrong. As you come from living with never having a sewer?
Starting point is 00:08:59 She lives around the corner from where we live now. She grew up in a house around it. She grew up never having a sewer. She grew up in a house around it. Never having a source. She grew up in an area where it is known that the septics are failing constantly. And there's, you know, having shit come up in a shower is, oh, that's just what happens, you know, biggie? No, no biggie.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Show your feet are brown for a couple of days. Waffle stops. Looks like a learn sucks. It's horrible So I'm always afraid of it because when we first moved into the house Mary and I were upstairs we were there like a year and we went downstairs to do laundry and I I you went downstairs I'm like geez something smells kind of funny and when we went downstairs The septic had backed up to the point where the waste came into the
Starting point is 00:09:47 basement portion. So what it did just they stationary in a bathroom it came into yeah, there's water which is sucks But then there's something way worse than water. Yeah And like we were so like we didn't know what to do like we stood there just staring at each other for a minute because we were that Devastated like who's gonna clean this? Who's gonna take the first move? Who's gonna get a mop? You? Oh yeah, I didn't clean it.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Yeah, how come she's just as you refused? She left. She was like, she goes like this, she goes, we'll call the people tomorrow and she goes upstairs and I'm like, get in there. She's gonna have a shit everywhere in the floor. I'm the floor.
Starting point is 00:10:24 I'm the floor. So you can even be like, okay. But you have to get the point where you got downstairs and you just smell, they got the whole basement wasn't refinished. Like when you guys came and you saw it, it wasn't to the end of the way. But they're all 8x10s up yet? They didn't have any of that stuff up yet. That's why I'm so neurotic whenever we hear a different gurgle or something. So I had to get the shop back
Starting point is 00:10:48 and I'm sucking everything up and then we had to get towels and I can't just scribe to you how horrible that is, it's just a horrible feeling. It's only the people who are unsaptic who have had an issue will understand what I'm saying. I can hear you, your voice. I know, like trauma, passionate about.
Starting point is 00:11:08 The trauma that you went through. It was horrible. It was horrible. I mean, it got to the point. So it's always in the back of your mind. It could happen again. Always. It's always in the back of my mind.
Starting point is 00:11:18 I mean, who's fault was it? It was just, I can't blame any of us. It was just the problem is is where we live, it's clay is the soil. And clay is not an absorbent soil. So when they built the houses where we live, people put a lot of top soil. Well, we're our particular house, there just isn't as much top soil, so it's clay. So what happens is the water and runnage will go out into the leech field where
Starting point is 00:11:45 the water is supposed to drain out into the dirt, but because it's all clay, it will sit there and not absorb. Like regular dirt, like if I go out and pour a thing of water outside of like your backyard, for example, a couple of seconds it's gone, you could feel it and it's dry, where with me, you know, it'll take like a day or two for that to go. So if you do a lot of laundry or you flush a toilet a lot or whatever, there could be a chance that you have a lot of swapage in the backyard. So that's what it's just the way it is. Now how come you in 2022, the town hasn't just been like, all right, did the Burle Hall meetings, like the residents aren't like, it's fucking 2022. Can we get a sore line?
Starting point is 00:12:31 We don't like leech fields. Well, here's the issue with that. There's a story behind that too, because I said that after the first story. Should you rally the neighbors? We got a storm, Burle Hall. I didn't rally. Wait, what, pitchforks, we're gonna put them there?
Starting point is 00:12:44 I was standing there in the corner. I didn't really. We got pitchforks. We're going to put them there. I was standing there in the corner of a jean. That's the brush. And I was like, come on. Or a plunger. The plunger. No, because originally before we moved into the house, like maybe 10 years before we moved in, they got city water.
Starting point is 00:13:00 So usually when you live in a rural area, you could have a well water. It's usually well water and septic systems. So they just dig well into the ground and it's where your water comes from, where we lived. Our water was contaminated. I mean, it sounds like we're living like it's Chernobyl. Yeah, really. Sure does.
Starting point is 00:13:17 But so they brought up city water for us. Now, when they were bringing up all the pipes for the city water, they said while we're bringing up city water for us. Now when they were bringing up all the pipes for the city water they said while we're bringing up city water we can bring up the sewers lines as well so then you guys would get tapped into the sewers but the problem was is that you have to pay for that. So you every person on the road pays for it until it gets paid off. So it ended up being $5,000 per person who owned property. There was one neighbor who owned like six lots and didn't want to do it because he never had an accepted problem. So because it got voted down because he owned so many lots. So it literally, you know, that person caused you not to have a sore line. Yes. That's exactly it. Do you whole resent him?
Starting point is 00:14:06 I like him a lot, but there are certain times that I resent him. Yes, like when this first, like when you're fucking, let's say when you're full, it's covered with shit. Yeah, when I'm like, I'm deeply, deeply, and then when I got the phone,
Starting point is 00:14:19 and she always calls me like, well, she'll never just wait until I get home. It's like I'm in the middle of teaching a class and I get a text message that says, the sewer is backing up and I'm standing there teaching it. It's like, what am I supposed to do at this point? I got to go another 40 minutes of talking and then immediately call her back. Like, how is it backing up? I mean, is it in or is it just gurgling and water is starting to come up?
Starting point is 00:14:42 What's going on? So. So this is how many times has this happened since you? Three times a week. Thankfully, we've only had one backup. Okay. One major backup. And then this last time that Mary was like,
Starting point is 00:14:57 and so we've gone in between, we've gone like 10 years between like a backup. So it's not horrible. But like I said, I'm just so scarred from the first week. Oh yeah. And so when I got said, I'm just so scarred from the first week. Oh yeah. And so when I got home, I looked and it was like water was coming up in the shower. It wasn't like waste yet.
Starting point is 00:15:13 I'm like, all right, well, that's not bad because you waited a long enough time and then it went back down. I called the septic people. They're gonna come and pump and check everything out in another couple of days or whatever. I'm like, that's fine. So I'm sitting down there and I'm just doing laundry.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Now I'm like, nervous. I said, I'm sitting down there and I'm just doing laundry. Now I'm like, nervous. I said, so I sat in the basement while we did laundry. And as the laundry and the washer was emptying, I heard the gurgling that it went over to the fucking, the shower and all of a sudden you just start seeing the water come up and I'm like, all right, not too bad. You know, it's like you're praying, like, you know, you're a full toilet like these,
Starting point is 00:15:43 but I'm not being shy. And it's like, oh my praying, you know, you're a full toilet like these, but I'm not gonna do that. And I'm excited. It's like, oh my god, look at all that dirt that's starting to come up. Oh. And then I'm like, look at a toilet paper. I'm like, oh my god, that's not dirt. Shut the washer, shut the washer.
Starting point is 00:15:56 And then it was like, I just closed the bathroom door. It was down in there. And I'm like, let's not do any laundry, anything until they come. Now, now this is just your residence or is this everybody on the street stealing with this? It's certain, it's funny. Certain people have an issue and certain people don't on the road. So that's why I don't think you'll ever get the sewers there because there's not enough people who would be like, yes, I'm willing to spend the five or ten thousand dollars to do it. like my sister lives across the street from me
Starting point is 00:16:25 And they had a septic problem But they just went in and put in a whole new septic system Which was like you know, it's like 15 grand to do that So they're not gonna do it and and the people on the lower road we overlook the city So we're on a hill they never have any issues because they're at the bottom of the hill It just goes off to the side of the hill so it's I guess really just me. There's no hope for you. There's nothing at all. Please. There's no hope with that. There's no hope with anything. Yes. Didn't you tell me though that they set that guy's coming? The set that guy you you you schedule the septic. Oh, yeah, so you're really in the shitter.
Starting point is 00:17:02 So when this shows how important you guys are to me. So, they're like, we can come right out there as soon as you need us. And because of my work schedule and everything, I'm like, it's got to be on a Friday because it's my lightest day. I only have two classes on Friday. And they're like, all right, we can come down this Friday. I'm like, no, I'm going out of town. I'm going to New Jersey this Friday.
Starting point is 00:17:21 And the next week, I'm babysitting my niece. I said, you can't come there. And they're like, all right, we can come to next Friday. And I said, I'm going sitting in my niece. I said you can't come there and they're like oh we can come to next Friday And I said I'm going to New Jersey again that next Friday He says well how about this next Friday after that? I'm like yes, let's do that the month from now Yeah, so Mary comes home and she's like You call septic people. I'm like yeah, they're coming and she's like when they come and I says like three Fridays from now I says September 23rd and she goes, oh, nice frame.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Fuck, that's my birthday. They're coming on my birthday. And I'm like, what do you want me to do? I said, you want me to, you want me to have them come like a week later or because you want me here when they're here. And she's like, why I thought we were gonna go out to eat and I thought it was gonna be romantic.
Starting point is 00:18:01 And I said, as soon as he's done pumping, we'll go out to eat. It's really and I said as soon as he's done pumping will be What I said So yeah, so that's what we're doing September 23rd And it's and you know what nothing is cheap with a septic system That's the thing that really gets me is like I know the little each field has to be replaced So you have to get an excavator they have to dig out tons and tons of dirt Lay rock and soil and everything.
Starting point is 00:18:25 So it's like you're looking at at least 15 to 20,000 to do that is how much it's gonna cost for them to do all that stuff. So it's like I keep trying to put it off because eventually I'm hoping to just retire and move. See, you're not the only guy, right? You're that's dealing with some home issues. I brought my list of issues with me.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Oh, not of them. We're gonna match that, I don't think. Right? I hope it never happens to you. It's, I'm not gonna outdo Frank. But like, I wasn't cleaning up shit with a shop hack or no leech fields in my stories. No, but maybe there is something to this plan and alignment thing you're talking about
Starting point is 00:19:07 because my garage also broke. I have electric garage doors. We'll had electric garage doors and they all of a sudden they just stop working this week. The pad stopped working with the code, all that shit. You call them out there? No, yeah. No, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:23 I'm doing too much other shit. I like other shit to worry about garage doors right now. We for Marybeth's birthday. Yeah. The filter for the pool stopped working. Just won't turn on now. So that's why like when you came over the other day, the pool is I kind of murky like an inshit. And also there's a cricket in my car.
Starting point is 00:19:44 I can't find them. I find it to be the funniest one. Crickets are nasty. Yeah, I don't like them. Yeah, they don't do anything, but boy, they're nasty. I don't like them in my house, man. It tries me nuts. I haven't had one in quite some time.
Starting point is 00:20:01 Yeah, I couldn't find the bastard. He's in there somewhere else. Plainly a song every time you get some time. Yeah, I couldn't find the bastard. He's in there somewhere. Plain is song every time you get in here. Yeah, exactly. And then as soon as you get in, he stops. Mm-hmm. You can hear it from the outside. Pools going, I mean, other than that,
Starting point is 00:20:14 everything else is going well. Everything is as well. It's just, it's the other, I guess, the other day marked a month since we actually like bought the house and Painting took up a lot of time a real out of time and then there were a couple moves Move last Sunday try to get the fucking refrigerator out of the house It got dented and banged up and like a ball bearings falling out of shit
Starting point is 00:20:41 Thank you to everybody who helped me with the the door, though, I went on Twitter to ask some people how to get the door off. And now, just like a little bit of shit left at the old crooked house. Like I say, we're like 95% out of there. How good is it gonna feel to just walk away from that other house and shut the door behind you? It'll feel great.
Starting point is 00:21:04 It'll feel, well, the other day, like my neighbor told me, because you know, I threw out armatrous and see, he's just mattress and they're like, oh, well, both pickups are not going to take that. And I said, why not? And like, you got to wrap it in plastic. And I don't know if that's for like the rain, or he said, he said bed bugs.
Starting point is 00:21:21 He's like, because people have bed bugs and they don't want to get them on them. So like, you have to wrap it in plastic and I'm like This could turn into a landlord problem. Yeah Just fucking leave it there don't wrap it up and fucking pull up stakes and just go man like because I don't want to deal with it Frank I know you're not caught up on Frank, I know you're not caught up on Tellum Steve David seems right? Right, I listened to the quite Tastrophe one. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:51 Did you hear that one? So then you are familiar with my admitted distaste for Chuck Taylor's. Oh, well I didn't even have to listen to the podcast. It was all over Reddit, Twitter. Really? See, I don't read Reddit. What were they saying? Were they backing me? It was all over Reddit.
Starting point is 00:22:10 You know what, it was 50-50. What's that? Yeah. Yeah. Then I doubled down and talked about Disney and I've got even more shit for it. Yeah. Like, who is championing Disney at this point there like the most like
Starting point is 00:22:27 money hungry like Corporation and like I read an article the other day about Disney Disney world and Florida and They were saying that like the prices. They're like it's like rides are broken Shits dirty like stuff is in the streets. They're like it's not like rides are broken, shits dirty, stuff is in the streets. They're like, it's not the Disney experience that like say, you or I were accustomed to when we used to go back in the 90s and shit
Starting point is 00:22:53 where the place is like perfection, that they're like, this should hold doesn't, should not command the price, is the ticket prices that they're charging. What they're gouging should make everybody who backs Disney. And I'm talking to you, Chris Ladondo. You know, it's time you open up,
Starting point is 00:23:10 you talk about a lot, you bring everybody to task for other issues. Now, here's one that's close to your heart. Maybe it's time to go out online and start shaming Disney for what they're doing, man. The price gouging, pricing out certain people who of economic situations who cannot go there any longer. I mean, Disney is just, it's vets vial. I mean, what they are charging.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Yeah. You know who doesn't price gouge? Tell them Steve Dave. How come? Patreon.com slash.com Steve Dave, same 2020 prices hasn't gone up a nickel. Wait, started in 2020? I think we started before that. We started before that, but like 2020's like when people started raising prices because of how hard it is to shoot. Yeah, you're right. You know, the pandemic hit. We weren't like, you know,
Starting point is 00:24:00 give us more. Yeah, give us more. No supply chain issues. Our supply chain has been on time every time Yeah Yeah, my original point being that You don't have to listen to me if you like wearing cons you go ahead and wear your cons You want to wear Disney shit if I fucking 35? Hey, just know people are judging you. But if you're okay with it, then you're the stronger person.
Starting point is 00:24:35 But you know, and you know, Chris told me why he loves Disney so much. What is it? We had this conversation, not because I was putting him under the spotlight, I just needed him to give me some information regarding a project. And he said why he loves Disney so much, is the tradition of him going with his family, which a lot of families can do or start now because it will continue because of what Disney's doing, but also the person, the character driven storylines that were like, if you struggle and you are behind the 8 ball, if you try, you know, you're going to succeed or you're going to try him. And he likes the messages in the Disney movies.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Except for song in the South. Especially some of the stuff. He didn't mention that one. I didn't throw that one in his face either. What about this? But I'm like, are those realistic though? And a lot of people love Disney, but has that, is that message played out at this point though? It should be. It definitely should be. It's been proven time and time again that like it doesn't matter how hard the square page wants something. The the misfit, you
Starting point is 00:25:55 know, the mighty ducks are going to go from the worst to first. It's like, I kind of think we've seen this before many, many times. The The drum sense what was it? 76 with bad news bears like same thing. Yeah, Disney, I mean, it's just like, I'm really surprised that Ladondo supports it as, you know what Ladondo should do? Next time you're gonna, you're gonna go to Disney. You take that purse, you give it to a migrant family. And you send them to Disney motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:26:28 Right? Yeah. I think that's what you oughta do. Disney's lucky though that they have built up, they've been around for so long, that they've built up so much goodwill and so much love from the public, from the creators from so long ago, because if the people who are putting out the Disney shit
Starting point is 00:26:50 right now, we're starting from scratch. Right. Fuck it. Nobody going to your park, and they should fucking remember that, that the guy, the pioneers, the guys like Disney and the people that he brought into the fold to create that magic.
Starting point is 00:27:07 You know, there are the guys that are making zillions of dollars. Yeah, like all the shit you want to change or rewrite or whatever. Yeah. That's the shit that, like, legged or not, that the castle is built. The foundation of the castle is built on. It's like the last time you were a Disney friend. We went probably about five, six years ago. We had a, we were going on a cruise, my wife and I,
Starting point is 00:27:32 and we stayed overnight in Florida, and I had, I actually had a, they used to give out, you used to be able to buy park passes that didn't expire. So I actually had a pass that was like 15 years old, you know, that I still had and I used and then we bought Mary her pass. It was very crowded. I don't know. It's always crowded. Last time I went with a couple years ago with Troy, we went down Troy and his family.
Starting point is 00:28:03 And I had a great time independent of Disney. I just think that I went to Troy was the fun part. And Sage is like, Sage is not an amusement park person like she likes rides. What she doesn't like is the walking around, especially like in the sun. Oh yeah, who does? Yeah, so she would much rather just like I can bring her down the floor to So she she would much rather just like I can bring her down the floor to Skip every park as long as the place has a pool like that's all she gives a shit about So my cheaper. Yeah, no, yeah, now that you have a pool Do you think you'll have to go more places or you could stay home stay-cations? I don't know
Starting point is 00:28:38 I mean, I would like to say stay-cation, but I can't get the goddamn chemical tray in this pool, man It seems like nobody I know it's like I mean what was like? Yeah, I can't get the God-dem chemical training this pool man. And it seems like nobody I know. It's like, I mean, what was like, yeah, I can never do it. You just told me that you can never do it. When he had a pool, he filled in his pool. It was, yeah, it was cheaper than it. It was cheaper for me to fill it than to try and fix it. Wow.
Starting point is 00:28:56 So I was like, just cover it. It shows you how difficult it is. You've got to be a mad scientist. Yeah. To get it right. Yeah, so I was about to vacuum it out the other day and then the goddamn filter wouldn't work. So I'm like, is there a reset button on it or do I need a new filter and if I need a new
Starting point is 00:29:11 filter, what the fuck? I have to get it now so that you can blow out all those lines with the water in them to like, so they don't freeze over the winter. Oh, yeah, you have to put the antifreeze in the lines. Yeah, I don't know anything about that, but what Frank told me was that he was given up by where he lives. Pool people by and large are not very helpful. They sell you shit you don't need.
Starting point is 00:29:35 And then when you're like, hey, can you give me a hand with this thing? I have no idea what I'm doing. They're like, no, you have to be on contract. Well, I think that's because they're like constantly head up for free advice if you work to the field really made money in July and August I'd spread my knowledge like Johnny Apple see you know right there bullshit you would be so fucking bitter about all the people like even even friends who were just like can you
Starting point is 00:30:05 believe fucking Troy yes me he found his pool he knows our big money in joy you know I guess you know you would be resorted at even as dear friends who are like hey cry I know you know the pool game better than anybody yeah I need a little help and you know a little free a bit of advice to how to get this to work. There you go. Be miserable. Well, Troy, let me tell you. Even if you did it, you'd be rat-in-ravened to marry back. You believe this guy all the money in the fucking world? He's got to come to me for fucking free advice. And it's like so demeaning when you go because it's like, you know, you bring your little
Starting point is 00:30:41 sample and it's like you're at their mercy. They're behind a big counter and you're like, you know, it's like Oliver Twist. Here's my sample little sample and it's like, you're at their mercy, they're behind a big counter and you're like, you know, it's like Oliver Twist, here's my sample of water and they'll filter, figure everything out and they're like, all right, you need that bucket, that bucket, that bucket. And it's like, all right, so now, what do I do? I mean, do I just dump everything all at a once
Starting point is 00:30:56 or, you know, what am I supposed to do and they never even want to help you with that? Yeah, I'm not gonna tell you that. No, that's extra. I would just Google it. You both, well, you don't have to, you filled yours in. I filled mine in. I would just Google some videos and how to do it and just watch a whole bunch and then, you know,
Starting point is 00:31:09 devour them as many as you can and you'll figure it out. But back to the pool guy, so I think it's easy though. It's not right, but it's so easy when you're, you know, you know, you're only making, it's the end of August, you know, like, oh, shit, you look at the calendar. You're like This is it man. I only got a few more weeks to make money off this you see that fucking dope walking
Starting point is 00:31:42 I think it's a temptation and it's wrong but boy when you're when you know you need you got a long winter How do you you got a you got a like a squirrel? Yeah, you got to store some nuts in struts a pigeon It's not to do. He's just looking to get his nuts fucking taken from him So I don't know anything. Can you please help me? It's just too easy for them to be like I'm'm going to sell them this, this and this and I have too much of this on this. Yeah, this concoction. I have too much of this. And if I don't get rid of these, they won't make it till next season. So, you know, God forgive me. But I'm going to have to sell it to this guy because I got to eat too. Right.
Starting point is 00:32:26 I think that's just what happens in some industries. I'm like you're so kind to save me. You have like that whole, as you're walking back to the car with all these $200 with the chemicals. Yeah. This is going to take care of it. I'm going to save the day. Now are there pool people who are listening to TSD right now who are like outraged that
Starting point is 00:32:43 I would say that? Not all pool people. Right. Of course we're not saying all pool people would do that. But I mean, I don't want to paint the whole pool industry as crooked. So far, that's pretty, you know. The same thing happened when we, a couple weeks back, Labor Day, we went to get a mattress because you know, threw the other ones out. And when I go in there, I'm like, all right, there's like 50 mattresses in this place. And I'm like, the guy comes up to me and I just, it feels like you're buying a car, you know, because you're like, he's like, well, this one does this,
Starting point is 00:33:19 and this one does this one. He's not showing me certain ones. So I'm like, well, the one that he's showing me that he thinks is so great for us is there a higher profit margin on this? And that's why he's pushing this one. Because I don't know, I'm not mattress savvy. Well, very fact that you think he wouldn't do that. So you are not mattress savvy. You are not. I know, I know. I know that what I've like, if you're the salesperson, bro, and you're what, what, what mattress are are you gonna try to push the most? The one that he has the biggest profit margin.
Starting point is 00:33:48 I guess the one I'm gonna make the most money. Yeah. That's what I mean. I know that's what he's doing, bro. But I have. Brian Johnson, why are you impondering this? I don't know. What's up?
Starting point is 00:33:59 What happened? I know. It used to be so much more cynical. It's like when I walked through, I was like, all right, fuck face. You don't even try it. Yeah. But yeah, I guess I did't know, it used to be so much more cynical. It's like when I walk through, I'm like, all right, fuckface, don't even try it. You know? But yeah, I guess I did say like, why did you show us like any of the mattress in a box
Starting point is 00:34:12 is a type thing, you know, purple or a cast-bar, anything, ah, and tell you the truth, I don't really like them, but like, I don't know why not. I don't know the wholesale price of every fucking mattress in this place, or even one. YouTube is your friend. As you gotta go, you gotta do a little bit of homework.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Yeah, I'm watching the wrong shit on YouTube. Yeah, you're watching death videos. You're watching people getting their face peeled off, you know, by the cartel. And then you're walking in and then you're basically the same shit's happening to you but it's your fucking wallet. Yeah, you're right. I'm gonna restore you walking too. Yeah, man, how much do you think I should pay?
Starting point is 00:34:43 I want a good night's sleep God damn it is a cynical way to go through life, but you got to everybody's looking to fucking steal from you No, that's now everybody's looking to make But they need to make yeah, it's just that's just the way it is if you don't think that's the way the world and you're you're naive and you know you better see if they got a permanent residence in Disneyland everybody is looking out for themselves everybody is especially in the industry of like sales right nobody nobody nobody is looking out for the fucking total stranger that walks through
Starting point is 00:35:25 the door that you're never going to see again. Why would they? Because why would they? We as humans should. We should take care of each other. I'm not saying that they're going to like, you know, bend them over and have their way with them. But don't think for a second though that they are more like, well, I got to do good by
Starting point is 00:35:43 this total stranger. They got an agenda, they got to meet whether it's their own or the companies. You know, I just think that's the way I would approach the shit. Yeah, I think you're right. I mean, as soon as the guy comes up, like he's friendly and like, that makes me suspicious immediately. When he's like overly friendly, hey, how you doing today? Da-da-da.
Starting point is 00:36:05 You know, I never did it though. And I worked in sales for 20 some years. I never did it though. I never was like, try to sell somebody like a hundred dollar book. I would always try to be honest. So maybe there are. Maybe I am painting a tube rot of stroke
Starting point is 00:36:23 on the sales person industry. I'm pleased I did do it. You know, I would be honest with people, I'd be like, oh, you're looking for something really good. I would say what I liked, but I would ask what do you like and try to, you know, tailor it toward their interests where, and I never tried to grab somebody and be like, you know what you need? You need this, and it's like, it's hot right now. It's $100, you want you need?
Starting point is 00:36:45 You need this and it's like, it's hot right now. It's $100 and if you don't buy it this week, it's gonna be $150 next week and you're gonna come back and you're gonna pay more. You never did it. And I can sleep like a baby, no, and I never did that to anyone. No customer can walk out of there going like I tried
Starting point is 00:36:59 to like, drink them, you know, with a bad comic. Yeah, I can hold my head up high, Frank. You know, with a bad comic. Right. Yeah, I can hold my head up high, Frank. You know, I can walk into heaven. I wish more people were like you. Yeah, but especially pull people, garage door people. Yeah, stuff people.
Starting point is 00:37:15 But it was it because I didn't work on commission, no. So wait, no, there's no way. I mean, you think if you worked on commission, you would have been different. If I'm not making, if I know I can get this guy looks like he wants to spend money, and I know I didn't make as much money last week as like I'm getting some grief at home, and I'm like, oh my god, we got this bill coming up. I cannot sit here and say that I would not be tempted to like, especially working on
Starting point is 00:37:40 commissions, it can make people do desperate shit. And I would almost understand it though. But it's fucking caveat emptor, isn't it? Yeah, you're out there buyer beware. Yeah, if you're not You know don't don't cry like brie I was weeping openly right in front of Mary, but We're getting screwed by the pool and the mattress people But we're getting screwed by the pool and the mattress people Well, I told her I did tell like I told her where we were there. I'm like, I don't know I just don't trust this motherfucker like he's out for himself
Starting point is 00:38:11 He doesn't give a fuck and like I was like we got to try more beds than it then he just shows us, you know Did you yeah, we sat on some and then eventually we went with the one that he suggested because it was the best one You know it there might be there might be be some boy scats out there like me. There might be some boy scats out there that are going to try to do right by customers. And if you're happy with the purchase and you're getting a good night sleep, why torture yourself going like he fucked me? I'm a rube. Maybe I think why? You woke me up.
Starting point is 00:38:49 You're going to sleep? Yeah. Why put yourself through the ringer like second guessing yourself if you're happy with the purchase? I am happy, but it's like if I'm like, oh, I could have paid 500 less. Oh, okay. There we go. Well, yeah, that's, have you found out that you could have?
Starting point is 00:39:10 No. Okay, well then don't look. Right. It's like, it's really, it's like they make it so difficult to comparison shop with anything. Like, you look for a TV, you're like, all right, there's fucking three different kinds of TVs and out of those three different kinds,
Starting point is 00:39:23 there's fucking 50 models of each. Same thing with the mattresses, like I'm like, well, I don't know, I don't know which one is the best one or which one is right. And it gives me a lot like two minutes delay on each one. How are you going to know what, you know, what's going to work for you? Now, Frank, I, you, I consider you to be an honest person. Like I sit there and go, I would trust him, put in that position, you know, you're no, you're not no longer the professor. You push him mattresses. Okay. I'm commission. Which could be if I'm not greeting things the way
Starting point is 00:40:00 I should be. Sceptic tank blue. Big time. Very swimming and shit in the basement I should be. Sceptitek, blue. Big time. Mary, swimming and shit in the basement. Last month. So you know, you had a big bill that you did not account for. It has played havoc with your finances. You sell a couple upscale mattresses and you can soften the blow for you personally and your wife and your family.
Starting point is 00:40:25 Are you not? Are you going to be not trying to push a higher end mattress step this month, or are you going to stick to your guns and be like, that little ole you came in, she doesn't need something to sleep on the hand of God. Sleep on a shitty old box spring that she could pay less, like $500 less more, or are you going to be tempted? Oh God, I, you know what? I'm gonna be honest with you.
Starting point is 00:40:51 I, I wanna say that I would be honest, because I've done it before. I've sold things before, not that like, you know, my happiness has hinged on it, but I've sold things on Craigslist or whatever, and when I've met the person, you know, maybe you see they're not driving the nicest car or, you know, and I've given it to them for less than they were coming to buy it for. But you're in a position right now where you can do it.
Starting point is 00:41:14 Right. And now what we're saying is our finances are in fucking in the shit. It's like havoc. Yeah. Because of this unexpected catastrophe. This exploded subject tank. It's exploded. It's I you know it it You'd only be human know you know you see somebody who's like I want the best are you gonna be like okay? You're immediately given the best or you can be like well, you don't really need the best sir I could put you in a mattress today for that's $500 less than it's just as good quality Are you gonna be like you know what? Take in the commission this guy wants it one?
Starting point is 00:41:44 Yeah, I guess if that's if that's if I mean, if I had went through, right through the door being like, excuse me, he's got the time to make an announcement. My name is Brian Johnson. I was on TV seven years ago. And that's what like the best. I want to be cradled by hands, God. Well, I sleep. Well, I know you didn't walk in and say it, but it's just your...
Starting point is 00:42:08 You think I went in with Swagger? Yeah, I know you. You walk in. You just ooze like I want the best, though. Yeah. You're not looking for, you know, to cheap out. Yeah, I guess so. You still want the dance, though.
Starting point is 00:42:23 You want the salesperson the dance and show you You know the cheaper model. It's true. Well, that's what we got for the guest room. Sorry for lumpy masters Yeah, I would probably like you said I probably would cave a little bit I would I really want to believe that I wouldn't but I think if you put net, that's part of a situation where... That's what you should, like sometimes, you know, maybe you walk in with that attitude too, like, you know, what, that guy, you know,
Starting point is 00:42:52 he's not a jerk for trying to like upsell me. That's his job. So we have to be more vigilant as customers. Yeah, it's on you and me. Yeah. Joe Blow. I am speaking of your septic tank thing. I was um You know, we've been hauling shit out of the crooked house bringing it to the new house now
Starting point is 00:43:16 Last Sunday we're recording this on a Sunday. So the previous Sunday I had a Edgar and my nephew and My niece's boyfriend. They were helping me carry shit back and forth like heavy stuff. And that was it. So most of the house was cleared out. Now the next day I went over to like get odds and ends and like shit that wouldn't fit in the truck or was too delicate for the truck or whatever. And I'm sure 100% sure that I used that bathroom and flushed it. But I didn't like no number two or anything like that, just pissed. Now the next day, which would be Tuesday, I went back to the house and get more odds and ends. I go up to the bathroom. I open up the lid, there's two massive logs in it,
Starting point is 00:44:06 like massive. Now, with regular sewer systems, this is what I wasn't sure about. Can stuff come back up? It can, but it only happens if like there's a major, like if there's a major rainstorm. Why are you asking Frank, he doesn't know anything about sewer systems? I can't sewer systems. I know my shit. Frank he doesn't know anything about sewer systems. I can't sewer the systems. I know my shit. That's the guy you wouldn't go to for sewer questions. Yeah, it's true.
Starting point is 00:44:32 But it's gone for a non-forcelerated lease. In my belief, from when I used to have sewers, is that the only time it would back up if there's a plug, or if there is a heavy rainstorm or something that blocks everything. So I know what you're asking, more likely somebody didn't flush. Who else would have access to the house though, if nobody would have except me now? The landlord does come by from time to time, but like I hide the keys and they don't have a key.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Oh, I'm sure they still have a key. So how do I change the locks? Oh. Yeah, like when I got there I changed the locks. So they, like you're really naive. Yeah. I'm like, in those cameras, I don't think they work. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:24 So, so I'm like, did somebody come in the house? Somehow, do this and leave. But then I'm like, I had like all my watches were still there. And like there was stuff that was like valuable that was still in the house. Like nothing was touched. But how'd they get in? That's, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:45:43 Like the winter, some of those, some to the window. Who are you with that day? It was just me. Just you. I was the only one in the house all day. Mad crapper. Maybe you just had a blackout. You think so?
Starting point is 00:45:58 Yeah, and you went up there and you didn't remember you did number two. I started second guessing myself. I got to tell you. But I was just like, no, it don't even remember you did number two. I started second guessing myself. I got to tell you But I'm just like no it wasn't me Like then that like the other the only other thing is I'm like Did I not really go to the bathroom on Monday? That's where I start second guessing myself and somebody really did leave it from Sunday And the boy put the was like the other thing that I noticed and this is disgusting first Well, when I got there on Tuesday, it was me and Mary Beth and we went in and When I saw like when I went to go to the bathroom,
Starting point is 00:46:27 take a piss. How long were you in the house before you went in there? Minutes. She didn't have. Is that possible she went in there? No, but I did accuse her. I was like, were you in that bathroom? She's like, what are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:46:39 I was like, I was like, listen to this. You know, because I had flushed it just, I actually kind of had assumed it was her. She said no, but the other thing that was really weird was, there was no toilet paper in there. It was just too loud. Oh, disgusting man. If it were to back up, I think other things would come up with it.
Starting point is 00:47:00 That's the thing that's weird. I mean, you wouldn't just have too loud. She would have some sort of remnants. Some sort of remnants. wouldn't just have two logs. You would have some Some sort of remnants. On paper or remnants. You would have something So I mean, I guess the only logical thing to think of is somebody broken your house Booped didn't wipe and left. No, that was my theory. I Think that's that's really out there. Do these more likely I blacked out And didn't wipe your ass a little.
Starting point is 00:47:27 Oh, I go like, uh, why do I smell so bad? Uh. Sage the other day, I went, um, sage, dude, fucking, I had to switch addresses for the bus pick up for sage. They need four forms of ID to show an address change. They're like, we got to see your mortgage, we got to see your license, we got to see utility bill, we got to see this and that. That's the same amount that fucking DMV requires, just to be like, I moved. It's just strange though that they would be that thorough with where your child lives.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Like, of course they lived there. If they're fucking getting picked up there, what do you think they came from? Right. Yeah. Yeah. What they're, because when I worked at a public school, they did this. So what they're trying to combat against is people who should be going to other districts, getting dropped off. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:48:23 If somebody else is housing, it's their house, and then going to the wrong district. If you've got somebody that wants to go to a better district. Yeah, I think that like the per student cost, especially with special needs kids is higher. So, yeah, like they're like, if we don't have to pay for this kid, that puts 85 grand back in our budget.
Starting point is 00:48:42 So let me guess, is it license passport? No passport. What's your four forms? My four forms? Yeah. It was the deed to the house, the mortgage to the house. It was a natural gas bill, renters insurance sharns bill, that was also excellent. Who do you have to show this to the bus driver every day? No, no, no. I had to email the document. Oh, she did a school. I would be just like, the bus driver really is that car on? Yeah, they do a retinal scan.
Starting point is 00:49:15 Like, the bus driver, I say, they look like they're barely gable to like, you know, get out of bed. Mm-hmm. Yeah. They look like they're barely able to like, you know, get out of bed. Yeah. She, uh, my point being though, she, I picked her up the other day. And she has me to put rap music on really. Yeah, she's like, that I put on rap music. To that age though, she is. That's why that's how, you know, the kids rebel, they use the music, you know,
Starting point is 00:49:42 you know, well, you like rap music though. Yeah, I don't mind it. Yeah, so it's not gonna be. Yeah, it was not the for me. I immediately put on some biggie. And it did make me wonder though, because she's like trying to sing along. She doesn't know the words,
Starting point is 00:49:56 but she's like trying to sing along. And it did occur to me. Does she get a pass when she's singing the words? If... No. If you were to say a certain word, say a certain word. Why don't you play the censored version? So just so you don't have to worry about it. No, I don't know like censorship. I remember back in the day when I when I agreed to it and I regretted it ever since.
Starting point is 00:50:17 You know what though? I was I mean I don't there's no easy answer for what you're asking. I don't want to my horn a little bit't want to. I don't want to. My horn a little bit. I came to the realization at this advanced age, though, that I like rap music more than I like country music. Oh, yeah. And you really do not like rap music. Yeah, so I was just like, I was like, I was, you know,
Starting point is 00:50:38 I was telling everybody I can, you know, even, that I could, you know, let them know, you know. Let them know you're down with the flow. You know, I hate country music, but I love rap music. Oh, so there's no, you're not like, I don't like it marginally more than country music. It's like, I love ending these two things. Well, compared to country music, I love rap music.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I granted, I was telling the waiter said, the Texas Roadhouse because I basically said like, can you please turn this shit off? It's brutal. It's brutal. It is the worst. Do you still sing along too? No, they've stopped that. Thank God. That was like... That was like demoralizing just to watch. The cr's crazy for everyone. Yeah. I mean, there's always one person in doing the line dance that was into it.
Starting point is 00:51:28 Yeah. That was like, you know, and when I got the memo, they were like, we're not doing that no more, they're like, total like a lot of my work in here, no more. It's so funny. But yeah, everybody else was dead inside when they were dancing and clapping and spinning.
Starting point is 00:51:40 Yeah, like, it was like chucky cheese, except like just like a little higher end. And not wanting to meet anybody's eyes while they're doing it Because everybody's staring at the way Fourth thing you have to do this to keep a job Whoever was like enough with the dance and they were they were a genius They were fucking probably hit like carried out of every restaurant Yeah, thank you and they used to do it at Johnny Rockets too.
Starting point is 00:52:06 Yeah, I was just gonna say that. What did they do at Johnny Rockets? I can't remember. They just disco dance. Yeah. Again. Which is weird because Johnny Rockets is more like a 50s cafe.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Right. Like, why aren't you doing like a 50 style dance? But it couldn't save Johnny Rockets. I mean, there's like a handful of Johnny Rockets left now, right? Yeah, there's like a couple up by where I am. Yeah, I think there's like one now around us It's a Woodbridge center and I would not be surprised if it's time of this recording That it's closed. Yeah, there was one on the mom of fall. I noticed last time I was there was gone for a long time Freehold racer like gone
Starting point is 00:52:38 And Woodbridge is the only one that is left, but I never see anybody in it. Maybe because of the lack of dancing. The kids. Frank here, well, your wife must have been upset recently at the news of the queen dying. I know she's into the royals. Oh, yeah. What? I know.
Starting point is 00:52:58 Seriously? Yeah. No, seriously, yeah. You did not. I have to hear this. What's close my mind? Why, that she's- That an American woman has any interest in passing of,
Starting point is 00:53:11 like, oh, she was still- How old was she? Wow. And that was- That's what I was saying. She just hears the age and she's like, oh wow. No, she- And then she moves on immediately to the-
Starting point is 00:53:21 Her problems. Once again, I'm in the middle of teaching. And, and- phone goes off. I looked down. The queen died. No. Yeah. You had a text about that.
Starting point is 00:53:34 Yeah, she texted me. And then because we're down to one car right now. So I have to we. You got to come home, the queen died. She texted me from her office. And we both work at the same place. So she was in the office all the way home From the college to where we live was her going on and on about the Queen
Starting point is 00:53:50 And she's telling me stuff like I know like well she's in this. I don't know wherever she was Yeah, so you know the estate no lying in state. Oh lying in state But like then they got to bring her back and I don't think they're going to ask Harry and Megan to come. No. Yeah. And I'm literally dry. I couldn't drive home fast enough because I didn't give a shit about any of it. And then he texted me and he's like, how's Mary feeling? Because she was, how did you know? Because when they got married, the Harry and Megan, when they got married, I remember she was very into it. Like I was up at your place at the time. Yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 00:54:27 And she was super into it, which I found strange. Yeah, it's really it. I'll tell you what strange thing. I'll tell you what strange, the conversation that Mary and I had, I don't remember when it was, but she gets into the car. She's supposed to be working. I watched for four hours, then bring the coffin from wherever it's going to be to line and stay. That's what she did for four hours while
Starting point is 00:54:50 I was educating people. I don't even think the queen was in it. I think it was just the coffin, I think. If my wife texted me, it was like the queen died like I wouldn't be able to answer for a few seconds. I'll be like someone steal her phone or is that just code? Is this the 911 code? Yeah. Yeah. Because I would be like, what the hell? Why would she text me? I could I would be so perplexed. No. We had a whole conversation. We went out to dinner and she was going on and on about how she doesn't like Meghan Markle because she got in between the Queen and then you know and then I start bringing things up and then she's getting mad at me and I'm like why am I getting into an argument with this? I don't give a shit but I'm trying to have her see another point of view that you know this royal
Starting point is 00:55:37 stuff isn't all it's packed up to me. Oh my god. Why are you fucking keeping these conversations just between you two? These are conversations i would love to hear like as you try to defend or a point point of view uh... she was trying to defend
Starting point is 00:55:54 okay but you are you're defending megan markle all yeah the common person i can mark right all yet was we're gonna be down here in other two weeks you can really that it's he said yet she's really into it Oh yeah, look, we're gonna be down here in another two weeks. You can grill her that and see what she says. Yeah, she's really into it. It may be wonder, like, is there any one because they said the lines were like nine hours long,
Starting point is 00:56:13 like five miles, it's stretched. I saw that too and they were worried that there was gonna be a lot of people who were going to pass out and have health issues and that they were really condemning the government for not having more services available for people who are going to pass out and have health issues and that they were really condemning the government for not having more services available for people who might get sick and might die in line. Right.
Starting point is 00:56:34 And I'm like, how the fuck is it the government's fault that you can't fucking wait and like, you might die waiting in line to see a dead person. Right. That's your fucking fault you moron. Why on earth is it now the government's fault to make sure you don't die in line? Right. Because you waited too long. And it's like it's-
Starting point is 00:56:52 You weren't healthy enough to wait in line. It's like think of how long five miles is and they're supposed to patrol that entire line for people who may or may not succumb to whatever the fuck the elements. What is wrong with the briefs? We were in traffic for an hour and a half the other day in a car, right? Who doesn't? And we could barely do it.
Starting point is 00:57:13 And we had air control. You were, you're, you're, you're, you're stomach was fine. You were bound up with onion rings. Yes. Yes. But that's besides the point, what I'm saying is- It's just mentally it was hard to do too. Well, yeah, I mean, but I don't understand people who are gonna stay in in line for hours to I mean
Starting point is 00:57:28 I wouldn't I don't know if I would do that if somebody I really cared about died But it's I guess it's a cultural thing man I mean it means so much more to the Brits than it would us we it's so far in for us to like put royalty on Who's such a pedestal as as like it's like we should... That's what we have Hollywood for. Yeah, acknowledge it, like with us standing
Starting point is 00:57:53 and just to see a glimpse of a coffin. I mean, would there be nine hours for it? Would there be anybody that if they were to die, you would wait nine hours to see? I wouldn't wait nine hours to see my parents. I can't think of anybody, you know, but it's different. I mean, you don't be so quick to ridicule our British friends. You know, they're, they're married. This is plus it's a very emotional time, you know, no if they want to win line We have a Mary actually she has on VHS tape Princess Diana's wedding back from the 80s
Starting point is 00:58:35 Yeah, she all she got up early to record it on in TV and it's off the TV Well that's what she's been into it for a long time because that was what you was at 80 that was 84 82 I want yeah, yeah, it's got to be early 80s because she's been into the ship for a long time Yeah, I wish I knew about it first She's no newbie. You know, she's not some fly by night. She's just not into it because the queen died You know, she's been right. She's not a bandwagon. Yeah, she's a full-fledged fan Queen died, you know, she's been... Right, she's not a bandwagon. Yeah, she's a full-fledged fan.
Starting point is 00:59:05 You should get her the commemorative magazine that I saw in the rack the other day. Is there, she probably bought it and didn't tell me. It's like $15. I was gonna say how much it's a lot. Yeah. Yeah, the magazine industry, talk about, you know, Disney and the magazine, you could see raping people.
Starting point is 00:59:18 Magazines are like $15, no. I went to buy a magazine the other day and I was like, no, I can't do it. Yeah, like what happened? It was like, well, it was like 1295. Are they just selling so few units now that they're like, well, we got to make up for lack of sales. So we'll charge 15 for the people who want it. I mean, they must. They're like, they're like everybody else, man.
Starting point is 00:59:38 It's just like they take the opportunity, like somebody like everybody hearing supply shortages, supply chain disruptions, all this other shit. And they take the opportunity to be like, well, we can make some money off this. You see every fucking like every restaurant does it is doing it. Every little mom and pop shop is doing it. It's like some because they have to because of genuinely, you know, there are genuine shortages and shit, but I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:00:11 Taking, that's why you can get away with saying, you know, you're, you're, you're constants because then sometimes it's like when he speaks truth to power like that. And then you just want to cheer, you know, from the top of the mountains, you know, everybody get behind because that's true. The hero we need.
Starting point is 01:00:27 The hero we deserve. You didn't know you wanted. You didn't know you wanted. You didn't know you wanted. You didn't know you wanted. You didn't know you wanted. You didn't know you wanted. You didn't know you wanted.
