Max loses his patience while trying to escape the chaos of the Costco parking lot, while Shayne contemplates what kind of old man he's becoming—grumpy, wise, or just weird. The guys also reminisce about when movie theaters were actual experiences and break down the confusing unpaid internship that is adulting. Real talk, laughs, and just enough existential dread to keep things spicy.

00:00:32.530 --> 00:00:34.609
I'm sure. Hey, welcome back to The Shane and

00:00:34.609 --> 00:00:37.009
I Show. My name is Shane. My name's Max, and

00:00:37.009 --> 00:00:39.390
that's the facts. And that's the facts, Jax.

00:00:39.429 --> 00:00:42.549
Yep. We were rolling there, and we weren't even

00:00:42.549 --> 00:00:44.490
recording. Yeah, we weren't rolling. We were

00:00:44.490 --> 00:00:46.670
just talking into the ether. We were talking.

00:00:46.729 --> 00:00:48.969
Luckily, I caught it. That's good. That's good.

00:00:48.990 --> 00:00:51.350
We didn't spend 45 minutes talking without a

00:00:51.350 --> 00:00:53.429
recorder on. Which we have done before. Yes.

00:00:53.429 --> 00:00:55.909
Yeah. Yeah, this is the podcast about nothing.

00:00:55.929 --> 00:00:57.109
That makes you think of something. I'm going

00:00:57.109 --> 00:00:58.850
to get our sponsors out of the way real quick.

00:00:59.030 --> 00:01:02.500
Huzzah. I'm going to read it. Good ol' Chad GPT

00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:05.900
wrote this for me, so bear with me. Alright,

00:01:06.299 --> 00:01:08.120
here's a quick shout out to Black Label Supplements,

00:01:08.379 --> 00:01:09.840
because if you're gonna spend time and money

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:11.739
on supplements, they better actually do something,

00:01:11.819 --> 00:01:14.239
right? I use Black Label Supplements because

00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:16.980
they're third party tested, which means what's

00:01:16.980 --> 00:01:19.900
on the label is what's actually in the bottle.

00:01:20.260 --> 00:01:23.319
No mystery powder, no snake oil, just solid stuff

00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:25.959
that works. Whether you're lifting heavy, trying

00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:28.280
to stay lean, or just pretending to go to the

00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:31.849
gym to get those nifty selfies, Black Label's

00:01:31.849 --> 00:01:36.409
got you. And you know, I got a code for 15 %

00:01:36.409 --> 00:01:40.209
off. Use code Shane15 at checkout. That's code

00:01:40.209 --> 00:01:44.609
Shane15 at blacklabelsupplements .com. Get jacked

00:01:44.609 --> 00:01:48.250

00:01:48.250 --> 00:01:50.349

00:02:29.729 --> 00:02:32.110

delivered right to your inbox when I publish

00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:14.599
them. When he pushes the button, it goes right

00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:18.000
to you. Why did I just do that? Yeah. So boys

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:20.919
and girls on the internet, you can't see what

00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:22.819
Shane did, but he was just playing with his finger

00:03:22.819 --> 00:03:27.370
in a very interesting sort of way. Anyway, now

00:03:27.370 --> 00:03:28.610
we're going to get back to what we were talking

00:03:28.610 --> 00:03:30.849
about. Yeah. Because we like talking about Costco

00:03:30.849 --> 00:03:33.629
on this show. We do. They should give us an affiliate

00:03:33.629 --> 00:03:36.650
link. They should. Because I'm about to sing

00:03:36.650 --> 00:03:41.189
their praises. Are you? Minus the old guy? Minus

00:03:41.189 --> 00:03:43.009
the fucking old bitch. What happened with the

00:03:43.009 --> 00:03:46.770
old guy? All right. Costco, Costco, the same

00:03:46.770 --> 00:03:51.759
thing. OK. I have a problem with Costco. I'm

00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.780
a nice, chill guy. Costco turns me into a different

00:03:54.780 --> 00:03:58.180
person. Yeah, I get it. And, like, I go there

00:03:58.180 --> 00:04:01.599
to get a bunch of staples for cheap. Right. That's

00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:05.979
why anybody goes. Exactly. Anyway, I got through

00:04:05.979 --> 00:04:11.280
most of Costco without much incident. Right?

00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.569
But on the way out, right, we left... The cash

00:04:15.569 --> 00:04:18.009
register, we're on our way to the door. Like

00:04:18.009 --> 00:04:20.410
you're out, you can see the finish line. We can

00:04:20.410 --> 00:04:22.750
see the finish line. Without incident. Yeah.

00:04:22.910 --> 00:04:25.790
It's that long ass walk from the cash registers

00:04:25.790 --> 00:04:28.149
to the door. Where the guy checks your receipt.

00:04:28.310 --> 00:04:31.009
Where the guy checks your receipt and, and there's

00:04:31.009 --> 00:04:33.430
almost nobody there. It's like a clear shot,

00:04:33.430 --> 00:04:36.709
except for one guy who's already a third of the

00:04:36.709 --> 00:04:39.850
way down. So I, I expect by the time I get to

00:04:39.850 --> 00:04:41.230
the end. He's going to be out. He's going to

00:04:41.230 --> 00:04:44.990
be out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, except as I start walking,

00:04:45.149 --> 00:04:48.189
he starts slowing down and he starts getting

00:04:48.189 --> 00:04:51.629
slower and slower and coming to a crawl right

00:04:51.629 --> 00:04:55.910
at a place where it's like least convenient to

00:04:55.910 --> 00:04:59.089
get around him. And then he comes to a complete

00:04:59.089 --> 00:05:03.949
dead stop before the guy. Yeah. Yeah. About.

00:05:04.149 --> 00:05:07.870
So he's so he comes to a complete dead stop.

00:05:08.890 --> 00:05:13.189
And, and so I, I make a honestly kind of dangerous

00:05:13.189 --> 00:05:15.670
pass. Right. Cause there's not a lot of clearance

00:05:15.670 --> 00:05:18.449
here, but I've been watching this guy slow down

00:05:18.449 --> 00:05:22.730
and by the time he stops, I have gone from serene

00:05:22.730 --> 00:05:27.810
to fucking like foaming at the mouth. Yeah, that

00:05:27.810 --> 00:05:31.050
would get me too. Yeah. And so as I pass him.

00:05:31.230 --> 00:05:33.470
Not only do I come within about half an inch

00:05:33.470 --> 00:05:37.209
of clipping him with my cart, I didn't mean to.

00:05:37.389 --> 00:05:39.389
I just, I just, I was sure he didn't. I was so

00:05:39.389 --> 00:05:41.410
impatient by that point. It almost happened.

00:05:42.069 --> 00:05:44.370
But as I'm passing him, I just look to see what

00:05:44.370 --> 00:05:48.970
the fuck his deal was. And he had stopped to

00:05:48.970 --> 00:05:52.870
read his receipt. If he was curious, if he was

00:05:52.870 --> 00:05:55.610
curious about what was in his receipt, letting

00:05:55.610 --> 00:05:58.379
me do it when he got out of the register. They

00:05:58.379 --> 00:06:00.300
just pulled to the side right there. He could

00:06:00.300 --> 00:06:02.560
have just pulled to the side anywhere. Yeah.

00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.579
That whole long stretch. Yeah. There's a whole

00:06:06.579 --> 00:06:09.660
area off to the side where you can find a little

00:06:09.660 --> 00:06:12.480
nook, pull over out of everyone's way and do

00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:13.939
whatever the fuck you gotta do. Yeah, and every

00:06:13.939 --> 00:06:15.600
Costco is both the same. So if you know, you

00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.620
know. Yeah. And this... this old bitch just stopped

00:06:19.620 --> 00:06:22.600
him because he just wanted to read his fucking...

00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:28.079
his fucking... I almost lost my... fucking mind.

00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:30.779
Did you say anything to him? Thank God Kira was

00:06:30.779 --> 00:06:34.259
right there next to me. Thank God for the wife.

00:06:34.420 --> 00:06:38.480
Yeah. And she just, she, she took me by the arm.

00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:42.660
She's like, breathe. We're almost out. We're

00:06:42.660 --> 00:06:46.939
almost out. Yeah. It's like, and then you just

00:06:46.939 --> 00:06:51.509
mean mug a dude. You just mean mug him. I didn't

00:06:51.509 --> 00:06:54.949
even mean mug him. I should have fucking said

00:06:54.949 --> 00:06:57.449
some words. I could mean mug somebody and make

00:06:57.449 --> 00:06:59.350
him feel like I don't like him really quick.

00:06:59.870 --> 00:07:02.730
I can mean mug somebody into fucking like having

00:07:02.730 --> 00:07:05.750
trouble sleeping that night. Yeah. But this guy,

00:07:06.509 --> 00:07:10.550
I just, after I got past and Kira took me by

00:07:10.550 --> 00:07:14.050
the arm and I just... I kept on walking, but

00:07:14.050 --> 00:07:16.569
god damn it. And I, you know, you know what makes

00:07:16.569 --> 00:07:19.230
it sometimes I get pissed off about something.

00:07:19.230 --> 00:07:22.410
It is what it is. I'm a human being, but when

00:07:22.410 --> 00:07:25.829
I'm right, that's when it's the worst. I know

00:07:25.829 --> 00:07:28.490
it's the same way. When I'm, when I know I'm

00:07:28.490 --> 00:07:32.569
right, when I know for a fact that my anger was

00:07:32.569 --> 00:07:38.110
righteous and that person, I honestly, if I,

00:07:38.110 --> 00:07:40.449
if I had stopped to think about it, I should

00:07:40.449 --> 00:07:43.269
have done something to fucking like intervene

00:07:43.269 --> 00:07:45.990
in their bad behavior so that they wouldn't do

00:07:45.990 --> 00:07:50.110
it again. Luckily your wife is there. Luckily

00:07:50.110 --> 00:07:51.589
the wife was there. Yeah. Cause I don't need

00:07:51.589 --> 00:07:53.829
to get banned from Costco for assaulting old

00:07:53.829 --> 00:07:55.730
men. Yeah. And they'd have your picture up there

00:07:55.730 --> 00:07:58.050
and don't let this guy in. Yeah. They got a bunch

00:07:58.050 --> 00:08:00.350
of cameras. You can't, you can't just fucking

00:08:00.350 --> 00:08:03.069
accost some 70 year old dude and get away with

00:08:03.069 --> 00:08:07.009
it. And he's 70. Yeah. So I mean, I get it. I'm

00:08:07.009 --> 00:08:09.689
getting old. Hey, this guy was old enough to

00:08:09.689 --> 00:08:12.220
know better. But not old enough for that to be

00:08:12.220 --> 00:08:14.600
an experience. But see, here's the thing about

00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:16.480
getting old that I'm starting to realize. Yeah.

00:08:16.579 --> 00:08:18.040
Because I just had a birthday a couple weeks

00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.459
ago, and I'm getting up there. Happy birthday.

00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.639
Thank you. And I'm getting up there. Yeah. Right?

00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:27.100
Almost 87 and a half. Almost 87 and a half years

00:08:27.100 --> 00:08:31.279
old. I got to pee a little more than I used to.

00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.019
I'm not really 87 people, but for podcast's sake,

00:08:35.059 --> 00:08:37.659
we're going to say I'm 87. Yep. And maybe I'll

00:08:37.659 --> 00:08:40.649
tell you my real age. I don't know. But I realize

00:08:40.649 --> 00:08:42.629
there's like two different old people you could

00:08:42.629 --> 00:08:45.970
be, right? You could be the onry old person.

00:08:46.950 --> 00:08:48.990
It just makes a big deal out of fucking everything.

00:08:49.710 --> 00:08:52.009
Like, you know, back when I was young, that kind

00:08:52.009 --> 00:08:55.009
of guy. Yeah, that sounds good. Right? Or you

00:08:55.009 --> 00:08:58.049
could be, well, three. You could be the dumbfounded

00:08:58.049 --> 00:09:00.789
old person that gets lost in fucking Costco and

00:09:00.789 --> 00:09:03.240
does absurd things like, you know. gets in front

00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:05.059
of Max. Stop in the middle. Stop in the middle.

00:09:05.820 --> 00:09:08.220
It's preposterous. All right. And here's the

00:09:08.220 --> 00:09:10.379
third one. Yeah. Here's the third one. You could

00:09:10.379 --> 00:09:13.500
be that old guy that kind of does creepy stuff,

00:09:13.620 --> 00:09:16.360
but people are like, oh, he's just an old man.

00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:19.299
It's all right. That kind of does creep. Not

00:09:19.299 --> 00:09:22.500
like really creepy stuff, but like when you see

00:09:22.500 --> 00:09:24.100
a girl, you can actually say, when you see a

00:09:24.100 --> 00:09:25.720
pretty girl, you can actually say, oh, you're

00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:29.279
a pretty young woman. Oh, yeah. Like, not too

00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:31.919
creepy. Yeah. Not like, follow, hunting down,

00:09:32.059 --> 00:09:34.879
I mean, not like, not like, stalker creepy. Right.

00:09:35.179 --> 00:09:37.080
But like, you know, just, you can say little

00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.259
snide comments and get away with it and they'll

00:09:39.259 --> 00:09:41.080
look at you and be like, oh, you're a sweet old

00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.970
man. Yeah. Right? And here's the other thing

00:09:43.970 --> 00:09:46.769
that I figured out that was probably the coolest

00:09:46.769 --> 00:09:49.009
part about it, is you could wear those fucking

00:09:49.009 --> 00:09:51.990
Depends, and if you're in the middle of Costco,

00:09:52.769 --> 00:09:55.629
you could shit yourself, not only shit yourself,

00:09:56.230 --> 00:09:59.009
but you could just fucking drain the vein, right?

00:09:59.110 --> 00:10:02.059
You could just take a piss. right there in the

00:10:02.059 --> 00:10:05.759
middle of Costco in your pants. And people would

00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.419
just be like, oh, poor old man. And you may even

00:10:09.419 --> 00:10:11.259
get a discount on the shit you're buying because

00:10:11.259 --> 00:10:13.639
you pissed yourself. Because people would feel

00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:17.000
sorry for you. Shane, this took a turn I wasn't

00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:22.580
expecting. I was just thinking about it as I'm

00:10:22.580 --> 00:10:24.960
getting older, right? Like, what kind of old

00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.259
man do I want to be? And you want to be the shitting

00:10:27.259 --> 00:10:28.960
yourself kind of old man? No, I don't want to

00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:31.100
be the shitting myself old man. I was just describing...

00:10:31.100 --> 00:10:34.679
Because from the way you delivered the options,

00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:36.799
that sounded like the one you were leaning towards.

00:10:36.820 --> 00:10:38.960
No, no, no, no, no. Like, boy, I can't wait till

00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:41.100
I can get away with shitting myself in Costco.

00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:43.120
I want to be the guy that can get away with saying

00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:47.960
little absurd wisecracks and like saying things

00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:51.259
to women like... Oh, you're a pretty woman. Shane,

00:10:51.460 --> 00:10:53.340
I'm going to tell you right now, you're not going

00:10:53.340 --> 00:10:56.240
to be that guy. I can dream, though, can I? You

00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:59.440
can dream. I'm just telling you because I know

00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:02.549
you. And I know you're a well -meaning person,

00:11:02.590 --> 00:11:05.470
but I also know if you try to be that guy, you're

00:11:05.470 --> 00:11:07.710
not gonna get away with it. I know, it's just

00:11:07.710 --> 00:11:09.990
not gonna work. It's gonna come across as creepy

00:11:09.990 --> 00:11:13.129
if I do it. And if I piss or shit myself in the

00:11:13.129 --> 00:11:14.570
middle of Costco, it ain't gonna work the way

00:11:14.570 --> 00:11:19.110
I think about it. Unless I make a big deal, unless

00:11:19.110 --> 00:11:22.029
I look at everybody and everybody's looking at

00:11:22.029 --> 00:11:23.909
me while I'm shitting myself or pissing myself

00:11:23.909 --> 00:11:25.730
and they're like, oh my God, that old man's pissing

00:11:25.730 --> 00:11:28.500
himself. And I can just be like... This is what

00:11:28.500 --> 00:11:32.679
old men do, and they just leave me alone. You'll

00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:35.440
get banned from Costco if you do that. I figure

00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.480
if I'm 87, and I get banned from Costco, it's

00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:41.919
gonna be okay. It doesn't matter how old you

00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:47.179
are. If you mess yourself in public on purpose,

00:11:47.659 --> 00:11:50.399
and everybody knows you did it not because you

00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:52.639
have a condition, but because you just goddamn

00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:54.740
felt like it and wanted to make a statement,

00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:58.879
they're not gonna let you back in. Yeah, and

00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:02.559
let's say play the senile man card No, even if

00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:06.340
you play the Sierra if there's plenty of there

00:12:06.340 --> 00:12:08.320
are plenty of demented people that they don't

00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:10.620
let in places Here's the thing I thought about

00:12:10.620 --> 00:12:12.500
other thing I thought about though, too Yeah,

00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:14.519
that would kind of make it hard for me to get

00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:18.299
to Costco if I was really 87. Mm -hmm Driving

00:12:18.299 --> 00:12:21.879
because I really hope when I'm 87 Like there's

00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:24.879
a law that says like if you're in your 80s, you

00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:29.659
can't drive Yeah because I've been, been behind

00:12:29.659 --> 00:12:31.740
some crazy old people that you're just like,

00:12:31.740 --> 00:12:34.100
what are you doing? Well, once you get to a certain

00:12:34.100 --> 00:12:36.480
age, they, they check up on you whenever they

00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:39.620
read your license. I really don't want to drive

00:12:39.620 --> 00:12:42.399
when I get really old. All right. So don't like

00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:44.940
I get, cause I could just picture having this

00:12:44.940 --> 00:12:47.659
big old Cadillac or something like having a big

00:12:47.659 --> 00:12:50.320
old car and be one of those guys that just does

00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.799
20 miles an hour everywhere and just kind of

00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:57.659
weaves around on the road. Cause I already know

00:12:57.659 --> 00:13:00.559
I got bad eyesight when I drive, so I have to

00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:04.000
wear glasses, right? But I'd be that guy, that

00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:06.559
old man that just forgets his glasses at home

00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:08.720
when I got to go somewhere and I'd just be driving

00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:11.200
20 miles an hour, fucking swerving everywhere

00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:15.000
where I drive. I don't want to do it, dude. Because

00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:17.899
again, I know you and you got a bit of a lead

00:13:17.899 --> 00:13:20.539
foot. Yeah. So you're not going to be the guy

00:13:20.539 --> 00:13:23.240
who goes too slow winding around. You're going

00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:25.679
to be the guy who goes too fast winding around.

00:13:25.700 --> 00:13:27.960
And I hit something. Yeah. I don't want to do

00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:29.879
that. So I really hope when I'm old enough, when

00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:33.899
I'm that old, when I'm really 87, they're just

00:13:33.899 --> 00:13:38.799
like, nah, dude, nah. Yeah. I also hope that

00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:43.100
I hope that I hope you don't choose to shit yourself

00:13:43.100 --> 00:13:47.059
just to like challenge people to say something.

00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:49.460
I hope you don't do that. What do you got to

00:13:49.460 --> 00:13:53.639
say, young man? Just be on the bus. Yeah, and

00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:56.240
what I would have to say is leave and don't come

00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:00.340
back. There's a list for people like you. What

00:14:00.340 --> 00:14:03.080
you got to say, young man? You're afraid of pooping

00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:06.740
yourself? No, I just don't want people pooping

00:14:06.740 --> 00:14:10.539
next to me. The other thing I was thinking about,

00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:13.559
too, is I went to the movies a few months ago.

00:14:14.419 --> 00:14:16.720
I've been meaning to talk about this. For some

00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:19.509
reason, I... Never I go like have an idea in

00:14:19.509 --> 00:14:20.929
my head that I want to talk about on the show

00:14:20.929 --> 00:14:22.330
and I'm like, yeah Yeah, I'm gonna talk about

00:14:22.330 --> 00:14:24.389
that. Let her rip. Anyway, I went to the movies

00:14:24.389 --> 00:14:26.190
a couple weeks ago and you remember when going

00:14:26.190 --> 00:14:29.049
to the movies was like a thing Yeah, and it like

00:14:29.049 --> 00:14:31.450
the movie theaters were nice. Mm -hmm and like

00:14:31.450 --> 00:14:34.070
everything worked like the sound was cool Like

00:14:34.070 --> 00:14:36.649
the curtains worked. Yeah, the seats were relatively

00:14:36.649 --> 00:14:38.929
in good condition. Yeah, and there wasn't shit

00:14:38.929 --> 00:14:42.070
on the floor everywhere Yeah, I paid 14 bucks

00:14:42.070 --> 00:14:44.049
for a ticket. All right, that's cheap these days.

00:14:44.090 --> 00:14:47.679
Yeah, maybe it was more I can't remember The

00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:50.299
curtains, the curtains for the theater, right?

00:14:50.500 --> 00:14:53.000
Yeah. How they pull them back? Mm -hmm. Didn't

00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:55.639
open through the whole, all the previews. Okay.

00:14:55.899 --> 00:14:57.759
Which is a bummer, because I wanted to see some

00:14:57.759 --> 00:14:59.679
of the previews. They didn't open the curtains

00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:02.799
to reveal the screen? No, they, like, the screen

00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:04.440
was there. You could see what was on the screen.

00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:06.100
Well, yeah, they were projecting onto the curtains,

00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:09.740
not the screen. Yeah. Yeah. And there was shit

00:15:09.740 --> 00:15:11.320
everywhere on the floor. Like, when I tell you

00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:13.139
there was shit everywhere on the floor, not literal

00:15:13.139 --> 00:15:15.120
shit, but like, there was like popcorn, there

00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:18.820
was like... fucking Milk Duds, all over the place.

00:15:19.820 --> 00:15:22.799
And there was like, like the sound was messed

00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:25.539
up and somebody, it was like me and two other

00:15:25.539 --> 00:15:27.179
people in this theater. And we went, I went and

00:15:27.179 --> 00:15:28.919
saw that new Captain America movie and I thought

00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:31.440
it would be packed. It was like me and two other

00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:34.059
people. The one guy, one of the guys, I was just

00:15:34.059 --> 00:15:35.740
like, I was like, you know, they're going to

00:15:35.740 --> 00:15:37.399
fix it. I was like sitting there thinking, I'm

00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:38.639
like, they're going to fix it. Cause I don't

00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:40.580
mind going to a movie by myself. I actually kind

00:15:40.580 --> 00:15:43.220
of like it. And I'm like, they're going to fix

00:15:43.220 --> 00:15:45.450
it. They'll fucking realize what's going on,

00:15:45.970 --> 00:15:49.710
right? The movie's starting. And they still haven't

00:15:49.710 --> 00:15:51.470
fixed it. They still haven't fixed it. The lights

00:15:51.470 --> 00:15:54.210
haven't dimmed yet, all the way down. So finally,

00:15:54.269 --> 00:15:56.129
one of the guys, there's only three of us in

00:15:56.129 --> 00:15:58.730
the movie theater. One of the guys, because I

00:15:58.730 --> 00:16:01.129
was like, maybe I should get up, maybe I shouldn't.

00:16:01.309 --> 00:16:03.509
I'm debating. At that point, you definitely should

00:16:03.509 --> 00:16:05.809
get up. Well, this one guy wearing a Marvel shirt,

00:16:05.909 --> 00:16:09.149
so you can tell he was a Marvel fan, got up,

00:16:09.210 --> 00:16:11.690
walked out, and you could hear him. He's like,

00:16:11.769 --> 00:16:16.330
hey! Hey, can somebody fucking pull the curtains

00:16:16.330 --> 00:16:22.830
on the movie? Yeah. And they stop the movie.

00:16:22.929 --> 00:16:26.830
Good. Turn on the lights. Good. Apologize. Good.

00:16:27.509 --> 00:16:30.250
Turn the movie, turn the lights back off. Yeah.

00:16:30.690 --> 00:16:33.669
And to open up the curtains finally. Good. Back

00:16:33.669 --> 00:16:38.070
in the, back, even in like a couple years ago,

00:16:38.470 --> 00:16:41.210
before COVID even, like going to the movies was

00:16:41.210 --> 00:16:44.120
a thing. Yeah. Like, it was a, you look forward

00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:46.600
to it. Yes. Right? You go out to your fucking

00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:49.059
Applebee's or whatever, and you get something

00:16:49.059 --> 00:16:51.480
to eat beforehand at the Applebee's at the mall.

00:16:51.620 --> 00:16:54.860
Yeah. And then you go see a movie in a nice clean

00:16:54.860 --> 00:16:58.080
movie theater. And I was debating with somebody

00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:01.399
about this, like, why people don't go to movies

00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:03.639
anymore. I think it was an online debate. Yeah.

00:17:03.820 --> 00:17:05.220
Because they were like, oh, I love going to the

00:17:05.220 --> 00:17:07.539
movies. And I'm like, dude. Not me, not anymore.

00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:10.220
I also love going to the movies, but that sounds

00:17:10.220 --> 00:17:12.680
like a bad movie experience. Yeah, and it was,

00:17:13.059 --> 00:17:16.480
where was it? It was in Petaluma. Which one in

00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:18.240
Petaluma? I don't know, I can't remember. Because

00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:20.079
there's a nice theater in Petaluma. It wasn't

00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:23.099
that one. Yeah. So it wasn't the downtown? No,

00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:27.339
it was, no. But it was, like, awful. I just remember

00:17:27.339 --> 00:17:30.380
it, because I'm like, I just remember, man. Like,

00:17:30.380 --> 00:17:32.440
movies were, like, a thing. Like, you went there,

00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:34.640
and, like, it was nice, it was air -conditioned,

00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:36.420
it was hot out. There was a whole experience,

00:17:36.579 --> 00:17:38.319
man. And, like, this person was saying, oh, people

00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:39.880
don't appreciate going to the movies anymore.

00:17:39.940 --> 00:17:41.680
And I'm like, people probably would appreciate

00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:44.220
it a little more if, like, they, people, like,

00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:47.539
worked there, did their job. And, like, the theater

00:17:47.539 --> 00:17:50.339
was presentable. Yeah. And, like, you could see

00:17:50.339 --> 00:17:52.839
the previews when the movie, before the movie

00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:57.200
starts. Yeah. Like, Paid 14 15 bucks or whatever

00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:59.359
to get in the movie theater part of what you're

00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:01.119
paying to see is the preview Yeah, yeah, and

00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:04.500
I like the previews. Yeah, right Especially for

00:18:04.500 --> 00:18:06.779
a Marvel movie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and it was

00:18:06.779 --> 00:18:08.839
just man. It was just awful And then the movie

00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:11.000
the movies are right think the Captain America

00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:14.680
movie was all right But yeah, man, it was just

00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:18.039
I was bummed out about I was like I don't think

00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:20.019
I'm gonna be going to movies movie theater anymore

00:18:20.019 --> 00:18:21.900
I'll just fucking wait and watch them at home

00:18:22.500 --> 00:18:24.599
For a lot of movies now, you don't even have

00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:27.200
to wait. Right. Yeah, there's movies that come

00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:29.640
out really quick that were just in the theater

00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.759
and two weeks later they're available. Well,

00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:35.640
there's a lot now that they'll do just theater

00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:39.579
for opening weekend maybe, or they just go straight

00:18:39.579 --> 00:18:42.859
to streaming the same day that they open in the

00:18:42.859 --> 00:18:46.119
theaters. Yeah, it was just an interesting experience.

00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:48.480
I mean, it bummed me out, man. It really bummed

00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:50.259
me out. Yes, I was like, dude, I remember, like,

00:18:50.259 --> 00:18:52.119
when you could go out, you could get a burger.

00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:56.660
Yeah, no, you described the meal already. Yeah.

00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:00.339
It's a bummer, dude. It is. I went to a movie

00:19:00.339 --> 00:19:03.720
in January, and it was nice. Yeah, there's another

00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:06.079
nice theater up here in Santa Rosa, the airport

00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:09.019
theater. That fucking one's nice. I haven't been

00:19:09.019 --> 00:19:10.839
to that. Yeah, you have reclining chairs. You

00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:13.539
could, like, order, like, your shit to your...

00:19:13.609 --> 00:19:16.349
You could order your shit from your chair. Nice.

00:19:16.589 --> 00:19:18.670
Yeah, it's pretty nice. So that was something

00:19:18.670 --> 00:19:20.970
I was thinking about. And I was thinking about

00:19:20.970 --> 00:19:24.250
this. So I'm on the dating site. I'm on this

00:19:24.250 --> 00:19:26.589
dating site, right? Yeah. I'm not gonna say it.

00:19:26.589 --> 00:19:28.650
I'm only on one, and right now it's partly for

00:19:28.650 --> 00:19:30.869
entertainment purposes. Mm -hmm. Just because

00:19:30.869 --> 00:19:33.190
I'm not seriously looking for anything. It's

00:19:33.190 --> 00:19:36.009
just like, I like scrolling. Yeah. So when I

00:19:36.009 --> 00:19:38.170
scroll, I'd rather scroll on the dating site

00:19:38.170 --> 00:19:40.920
than anything else. You might really get into

00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:42.859
this topic because I've been wondering about

00:19:42.859 --> 00:19:46.180
this one. So a lot of these, a lot of these women

00:19:46.180 --> 00:19:47.920
lately, they're putting stuff in their, they

00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:50.720
put stuff in their profile. I think, you know,

00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:52.640
I want somebody to hang out with, whatever. It's

00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:54.420
all nice stuff. Until they get to this part,

00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:56.660
and this has literally happened, I would say

00:19:56.660 --> 00:19:58.859
probably on 10 profiles that I've seen in the

00:19:58.859 --> 00:20:04.640
last two weeks, I want a God -fearing man. So

00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:07.640
like, so are they talking about, when they say

00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:10.750
God -fearing man, Are they saying like the kind

00:20:10.750 --> 00:20:13.670
of God that that old -timey God that smites you

00:20:13.670 --> 00:20:16.950
if you're doing the wrong shit? Yes Why they're

00:20:16.950 --> 00:20:18.609
they're talking about somebody who's afraid of

00:20:18.609 --> 00:20:25.230
going to hell why? Look, I don't understand Okay,

00:20:25.410 --> 00:20:27.990
first off. I'm not religious either Am I and

00:20:27.990 --> 00:20:30.569
I try not to judge people who are either do I

00:20:30.569 --> 00:20:33.470
but it's happened But I I don't like a religion

00:20:33.470 --> 00:20:36.630
first off. I think maybe they're not reading

00:20:36.630 --> 00:20:41.049
into or they're not fully grasping what God -fearing

00:20:41.049 --> 00:20:45.589
means. Because God -fearing is just a traditional

00:20:45.589 --> 00:20:47.930
thing you would say to mean somebody who actually

00:20:47.930 --> 00:20:50.869
believes in their religion and acts accordingly.

00:20:51.089 --> 00:20:53.230
And if they act out, they're going to get smited.

00:20:53.549 --> 00:20:56.250
Yes. Because fucking lightning shot down at you.

00:20:56.710 --> 00:20:59.349
Yeah, but a God -fearing person isn't going to

00:20:59.349 --> 00:21:01.369
get the lightning because they're God -fearing

00:21:01.369 --> 00:21:05.549
and they will act accordingly. Right. It does

00:21:05.549 --> 00:21:11.069
imply... that you believe your God is an asshole.

00:21:12.950 --> 00:21:15.970
Sorry to laugh. No, no. I mean, it just is what

00:21:15.970 --> 00:21:19.569
it is. I just don't see, I don't see how people

00:21:19.569 --> 00:21:22.930
could be like, you know, I believe in God. My

00:21:22.930 --> 00:21:25.250
God is an asshole. Yes. Well, here's, here's

00:21:25.250 --> 00:21:27.890
the thing. Here's the thing. If you believe in

00:21:27.890 --> 00:21:31.579
a God. Right. You don't necessarily choose the

00:21:31.579 --> 00:21:33.819
God you believe in. Right. Right. Once you believe

00:21:33.819 --> 00:21:35.640
in it, like if you believe in a God and you're

00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:38.140
like, I believe in that one. Right. Then whether

00:21:38.140 --> 00:21:40.079
he's an asshole or not isn't up to you. It's

00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:43.079
up to God. Right. Right. And, and like the, the

00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:46.279
Bible God, right? Right. The one for, for whom

00:21:46.279 --> 00:21:49.579
people are God -fearing. Right. He's an asshole.

00:21:50.059 --> 00:21:52.690
No, I get that. Like if you read, say like, Yeah,

00:21:52.730 --> 00:21:56.069
you read some old timey stuff. It's like, and

00:21:56.069 --> 00:21:58.529
then God got angry and fucking flooded a village

00:21:58.529 --> 00:22:00.990
or some shit like that. Yeah, there's like all

00:22:00.990 --> 00:22:04.609
that. Or just basic shit that they tell you is

00:22:04.609 --> 00:22:07.029
part of the sales pitch. They tell you about

00:22:07.029 --> 00:22:09.549
heaven, and they're like, and also there's hell.

00:22:10.210 --> 00:22:13.069
And you say, what's hell? And they're like, oh,

00:22:13.069 --> 00:22:15.069
I don't know. Like, if you use the Lord's name

00:22:15.069 --> 00:22:18.109
in vain, like, he takes that personally and he'll

00:22:18.109 --> 00:22:21.529
torture you for eternity. Sorry to laugh again.

00:22:21.769 --> 00:22:25.309
Yeah, I just think I you see but but change change

00:22:25.309 --> 00:22:30.450
change. God is love. Yeah I just think hell is

00:22:30.450 --> 00:22:33.329
Like I've watched a lot of TV shows and there's

00:22:33.329 --> 00:22:35.109
this one I watched and I can't remember what

00:22:35.109 --> 00:22:37.089
what it was But there's this version of hell

00:22:37.089 --> 00:22:41.160
where the sky and did suburbia And this is his

00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:42.980
version of hell, right? Because everybody has,

00:22:43.259 --> 00:22:45.220
according to the show, everybody had their own

00:22:45.220 --> 00:22:47.980
version of hell, right? It's different for everybody.

00:22:48.380 --> 00:22:50.299
Which I could kind of get behind, right? It's

00:22:50.299 --> 00:22:52.519
not like you're, it's not like you know your

00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:54.339
soul's being tortured, right? You just think

00:22:54.339 --> 00:22:57.200
you're living, you don't even, like, in this

00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:59.680
theory, I guess, is that you don't even realize,

00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:02.380
like, you're fucking dead, right? You live in

00:23:02.380 --> 00:23:05.160
suburbia, you have this house, and I'm like...

00:23:05.049 --> 00:23:06.769
Things are normal, like you're waking up, having

00:23:06.769 --> 00:23:08.390
breakfast, you're talking to your kid, you're

00:23:08.390 --> 00:23:10.670
talking to your wife, right? And the wife goes,

00:23:10.809 --> 00:23:12.970
hey, could you go down to the basement and grab

00:23:12.970 --> 00:23:15.589
some fucking something from the basement or whatever?

00:23:15.589 --> 00:23:17.769
Uh huh. We're at a toilet paper, you go to the

00:23:17.769 --> 00:23:19.890
basement and you're walking down to the basement

00:23:19.890 --> 00:23:21.950
and you know, there's something, you're kind

00:23:21.950 --> 00:23:24.069
of like something like, no, no, no, there's something

00:23:24.069 --> 00:23:26.589
kind of fishy about this basement thing. Okay.

00:23:26.910 --> 00:23:28.470
And you get down to the basement and there's

00:23:28.470 --> 00:23:31.750
some fucking big org fucker down there. Uh huh.

00:23:31.990 --> 00:23:34.400
And he torches you. Okay. And then you wake up

00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:36.940
and the whole day starts over again. Yeah. That's

00:23:36.940 --> 00:23:39.299
like one person's version of hell in this TV

00:23:39.299 --> 00:23:41.680
show. Yeah. That's like this person's version

00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:43.779
of hell. Imagine the surprise and the terror.

00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:46.279
Yeah. That's part of it. Yeah. Yeah. I mean,

00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:48.380
if you wake up and you know what you're in store

00:23:48.380 --> 00:23:51.460
for, they've given up on surprise and, well,

00:23:51.460 --> 00:23:53.539
there's probably still terror, but they've given

00:23:53.539 --> 00:23:56.099
up on the showmanship of it. Right. I mean, come

00:23:56.099 --> 00:23:57.859
on. I think they just, like, as soon as you're

00:23:57.859 --> 00:23:59.779
tortured enough, they just kind of wipe your

00:23:59.779 --> 00:24:01.319
mind or whatever, and you just start the day

00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:03.920
over. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. That

00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:07.140
doesn't sound bad, I mean... That doesn't sound

00:24:07.140 --> 00:24:10.400
bad? Going downstairs to get some toilet paper

00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:12.279
and being tortured for the rest of the day by

00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:15.559
an orc? Okay, in the grand scheme of hells. Yeah?

00:24:16.180 --> 00:24:19.500
Not knowing that I'm dead. Yeah. And just repeating

00:24:19.500 --> 00:24:21.940
the same thing over and over again. Uh -huh.

00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:24.700
It sounds way better to me than actually knowing

00:24:24.700 --> 00:24:28.039
I'm dead, being down in this fiery pit of hell,

00:24:28.579 --> 00:24:31.119
and getting my soul tortured over and over again.

00:24:31.339 --> 00:24:33.700
Yeah, well, that's the hell you're gonna go to.

00:24:34.339 --> 00:24:37.539
Because God knows that's worse for you. And because

00:24:37.539 --> 00:24:43.140
you used his name improperly. And so he got angry

00:24:43.140 --> 00:24:46.000
and he's gonna torture you for eternity in the

00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:48.839
fiery pit, where they fucking take the skin off

00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:51.779
your living body. That's not gonna be fun. I'd

00:24:51.779 --> 00:24:54.039
rather have the suburbia one. You'd rather have

00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:56.140
the suburbia one? Yeah, I'd rather wake up in

00:24:56.140 --> 00:24:57.880
suburbia and think everything's cool until I

00:24:57.880 --> 00:24:59.799
go down to the basement. Think everything's cool

00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:01.660
until you go down to the basement and get fucking

00:25:01.660 --> 00:25:03.980
sex dungeoned by an orc. Yeah, that's great.

00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:06.619
That's better. That's the better option than

00:25:06.619 --> 00:25:09.660
fucking getting my skin killed. No, I mean, I'm

00:25:09.660 --> 00:25:12.160
with you, man. That's the one I would choose,

00:25:12.259 --> 00:25:13.779
too. That's how I know I'm going to the fiery

00:25:13.779 --> 00:25:17.420
pit as well. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I kind of I

00:25:17.420 --> 00:25:18.859
kind of think I've already been through hell,

00:25:18.859 --> 00:25:21.369
so. Well, it can't be as bad as what I've been

00:25:21.369 --> 00:25:22.829
through. Oh, there's always something worse.

00:25:23.269 --> 00:25:27.609
True. Yeah, true. Anyone else? I had to adult

00:25:27.609 --> 00:25:30.289
yesterday, dude. And I was thinking about this

00:25:30.289 --> 00:25:33.109
the other day. You know me. You're 87 years old.

00:25:33.329 --> 00:25:35.690
You had to do that sometimes. 87 and a half.

00:25:36.289 --> 00:25:41.109
Yeah. So I threw on my Depends. I had to go fucking

00:25:41.109 --> 00:25:43.910
do some shit, right? I had to go register. I

00:25:43.910 --> 00:25:45.890
had to go get my car smogged. I had to go pay

00:25:45.890 --> 00:25:48.450
my registration. And I was thinking about it,

00:25:48.769 --> 00:25:50.740
man. Like, I don't fucking... There was a time

00:25:50.740 --> 00:25:52.339
where I didn't care about any of that stuff.

00:25:52.539 --> 00:25:55.160
Yeah, I remember. Yeah, I'm like... I'm like,

00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:57.799
dude, I don't care if I'm driving around on expired

00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:01.059
tags... Yeah. ...until I can't get my license

00:26:01.059 --> 00:26:03.319
back. And then I'm like, why can't I get my license

00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:06.420
back? Oh, this is bullshit. Yeah, exactly. Fucking

00:26:06.420 --> 00:26:09.819
victim mentality, right? Uh -huh, yeah. Oh, oh,

00:26:09.819 --> 00:26:12.960
I thought I took care of... Oh, man. You know,

00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:14.819
you throw the DMV some money, guess what? You

00:26:14.819 --> 00:26:17.640
get your license back. Mm -hmm. It's my experience

00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:19.799
anyway. So anyway, I was taking care of this

00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:21.099
stuff and I was thinking about that. I was like,

00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:23.700
man, I'm really, I'm actually kind of glad I

00:26:23.700 --> 00:26:26.160
get to do this now. Like I don't have to fucking

00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:29.940
worry about fucking driving down the road and

00:26:29.940 --> 00:26:32.740
getting pulled over. Cause you know how bad it

00:26:32.740 --> 00:26:34.579
was. Like the cop would pull, I would get pulled

00:26:34.579 --> 00:26:37.220
over and the cop would be like, oh, so back in

00:26:37.220 --> 00:26:41.660
1989. Right. Yeah, I remember all this, yeah.

00:26:41.940 --> 00:26:45.000
Back in 1989, you had a driving with like something

00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:47.519
stupid, dude. And I was too afraid to go to court

00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:49.740
and show up to court. It wasn't like I was trying

00:26:49.740 --> 00:26:52.000
to get away with something. It was like, I was

00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:54.440
too afraid. Like, honestly, like I was a kid.

00:26:54.539 --> 00:26:57.380
I was like this guy that was just, I don't want

00:26:57.380 --> 00:27:00.039
to go in front of a judge. Yeah. Right? And I

00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:01.799
wouldn't tell anybody any of this stuff. And

00:27:01.799 --> 00:27:03.380
I would just try to figure it out. And then I

00:27:03.380 --> 00:27:06.920
wouldn't go. And so that turns into a fucking

00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:10.240
$2 ,000 fine. Right? Twenty years later, yeah.

00:27:10.259 --> 00:27:12.900
Twenty years later, I'm driving down the road,

00:27:13.259 --> 00:27:15.380
and I think I'm cool, right? Because they gave

00:27:15.380 --> 00:27:17.859
me my license back, so I think it's okay. Like,

00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:20.839
I have it in my wallet. And I'm driving down

00:27:20.839 --> 00:27:22.960
the road, and they're like, oh yeah, by the way,

00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:26.619
in 1989, you were driving without a fucking seatbelt,

00:27:26.660 --> 00:27:29.160
and you didn't go to court. So there's a warrant

00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:33.440
from 1989 for you. And we don't really care about,

00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:36.460
you know... Nevada cops dude, they would just

00:27:36.460 --> 00:27:38.619
pull me over they would pull me over and be like

00:27:38.619 --> 00:27:42.119
I'm like, dude Are you serious 1989? Are you

00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:45.599
serious? You're like, yep 1989, dude now in in

00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:48.079
all fairness at the time you were driving a drug

00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:50.640
dealer car You weren't a drug dealer, but you

00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:53.299
were driving a drug dealer car. Yeah. Oh, yeah,

00:27:53.299 --> 00:27:56.400
it was I was driving that fucking BMW Yeah, I

00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:58.259
fucking hated that that car was cool to have

00:27:58.259 --> 00:28:02.039
for like a month. Yeah, I I drove that car from

00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:05.000
I drove that car from where it was. It wasn't

00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:07.480
a drug dealer car. And I drove that thing from

00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:09.579
where it was impounded in the South Bay all the

00:28:09.579 --> 00:28:12.420
way up to Marin. Oh, that must have been nice.

00:28:12.660 --> 00:28:14.319
Because that car didn't move. It was, man. It

00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:16.200
was a cruise. I didn't even realize how fast

00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:19.160
I was going until I... That car, you had to go

00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:21.980
80. Like, you just had to. There was no... Like,

00:28:21.980 --> 00:28:23.720
you went 60 or something like that. You were

00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:26.180
going too slow. Yeah. But at the same time, like,

00:28:26.180 --> 00:28:28.700
I knew if I fucking dug into, like, a hole in

00:28:28.700 --> 00:28:31.019
the upholstery or something, God only knows what

00:28:31.019 --> 00:28:33.640
you're gonna find in there. Yeah, exactly. Yeah,

00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:36.740
that car was my ego car, right? That was full

00:28:36.740 --> 00:28:40.919
ego, full fucking, like, I want a nice car. And

00:28:40.919 --> 00:28:43.559
it used to be a nice car 10 years before you

00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:45.920
acquired it. Yeah. And then, and then it had

00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:49.000
like a CV problem, like the CV, like I needed

00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:51.240
a new, what was it, to get it to pass smog, I

00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:53.140
needed something. It was like a CV joint or some

00:28:53.140 --> 00:28:57.140
shit like that. And it was like $5, it was like

00:28:57.140 --> 00:29:00.220
800 bucks. Yeah. And I just remember, I just

00:29:00.220 --> 00:29:01.640
remember being like, dude, I don't want to deal

00:29:01.640 --> 00:29:05.000
with that. And I just drove it around. You just

00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:08.200
drove it illegally. Yeah. I learned my lesson,

00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:10.059
man. See, here's the thing, people is like, I

00:29:10.059 --> 00:29:12.000
can laugh at all this shit now because I've dealt

00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:14.259
with it and I've learned my lesson and I don't

00:29:14.259 --> 00:29:16.759
do that shit anymore. Like all that said, though,

00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:20.220
in that situation, maybe like the responsible

00:29:20.220 --> 00:29:23.940
thing to do. Oh, yeah. Was just to drive it around

00:29:23.940 --> 00:29:27.119
illegally until the police pulled you over, took

00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:30.279
it away. Then you pay then you pay the fine for

00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:32.660
driving an unregistered vehicle if there is even

00:29:32.660 --> 00:29:35.359
a fine for that. But you let them keep the car.

00:29:35.470 --> 00:29:39.369
Well, no, I wound up donating it and got a tax

00:29:39.369 --> 00:29:41.809
write -out for it. I remember. I'm just thinking

00:29:41.809 --> 00:29:45.589
about it now. And I did do the responsible thing

00:29:45.589 --> 00:29:48.809
and I stopped driving it. Yeah, I remember that

00:29:48.809 --> 00:29:51.549
too. Like, because it was just like, dude, that

00:29:51.549 --> 00:29:53.269
car just, it was just like all of a sudden, it

00:29:53.269 --> 00:29:55.990
was just like too much. And I remember like deciding

00:29:55.990 --> 00:29:58.470
right there and then like whatever it took to

00:29:58.470 --> 00:30:00.609
get my license back. Like that's what I was going

00:30:00.609 --> 00:30:02.630
to do. Like I was going to, I'll pay the money,

00:30:02.630 --> 00:30:04.609
I'll pay whatever. And thank God for student

00:30:04.609 --> 00:30:06.950
loans. Cause I was in school at that time and

00:30:06.950 --> 00:30:09.809
I used my student loans to pay back all my shit

00:30:09.809 --> 00:30:14.650
for my license. And I, and I used it for some

00:30:14.650 --> 00:30:18.410
books and books for the classes I took. Look,

00:30:18.490 --> 00:30:20.569
it's, it's perfectly legitimate to use it for

00:30:20.569 --> 00:30:23.089
transportation to class. Right. Yeah. Right.

00:30:23.269 --> 00:30:26.630
And I swore, and I also swore that day, like

00:30:26.630 --> 00:30:30.789
I'm going to get a nice, like incognito car that,

00:30:31.130 --> 00:30:33.630
that I could go kind of fast in that they're

00:30:33.630 --> 00:30:35.549
not going to be like, it's not going to be like

00:30:35.549 --> 00:30:36.789
every time they see it, they're going to pull

00:30:36.789 --> 00:30:38.690
over and like, I got a car that blends in because

00:30:38.690 --> 00:30:40.650
there's so many of them on the road. Yeah, you

00:30:40.650 --> 00:30:42.730
got a nice Nissan. No, it's not a Nissan. It's

00:30:42.730 --> 00:30:44.750
a Hyundai. It's a Hyundai. Whatever it is, it's

00:30:44.750 --> 00:30:48.589
a cool little fucking Korean car. Yeah, and there's

00:30:48.589 --> 00:30:51.329
so many of them out there that I just blend in.

00:30:51.329 --> 00:30:54.450
Yeah, you got to just... The color I got, everything,

00:30:54.470 --> 00:30:56.049
and I did it on purpose. Yeah, fuck, you got

00:30:56.049 --> 00:30:58.190
it in silver. That's a counting color. Yeah.

00:30:58.230 --> 00:31:00.190
Yeah. Yeah, and there's so many of the same color.

00:31:00.450 --> 00:31:02.309
Like, I could drive like an asshole if I wanted

00:31:02.309 --> 00:31:04.910
to. And I'm going to be like, oh, it was the

00:31:04.910 --> 00:31:07.970
other guy. But I'll tell you what, since that

00:31:07.970 --> 00:31:11.319
lesson I've learned... Right? With the BMW. I

00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:13.240
have not been pulled over for driving without

00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:15.460
a license. I have not been pulled over with driving

00:31:15.460 --> 00:31:17.859
without insurance. And I have not been pulled,

00:31:17.900 --> 00:31:19.960
and that was like, what, 10 years ago? Yeah.

00:31:19.980 --> 00:31:22.119
Yeah. So in 10 years, I have not been pulled

00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:24.980
over for any of that shit. Well, you couldn't

00:31:24.980 --> 00:31:27.920
be because you had a license, insurance, and

00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:31.140
registration. Yeah. But, I mean, even if they

00:31:31.140 --> 00:31:33.420
did pull me over, like, like even going through

00:31:33.420 --> 00:31:35.539
DUI checkpoints now, I'm like happy to do it.

00:31:35.539 --> 00:31:37.660
And I'm just like, oh, here's my license. Yeah.

00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:39.559
They're not gonna, they're not gonna be like,

00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:43.279
Hey, by the way, 1987. Yeah. Which, which they

00:31:43.279 --> 00:31:45.200
used to, you know, that was a concern before.

00:31:45.539 --> 00:31:47.599
I remember I used to have to avoid them. You

00:31:47.599 --> 00:31:50.539
know, I, I, I, I one time had the experience

00:31:50.539 --> 00:31:53.940
of coming up on a DIY checkpoint and realizing

00:31:53.940 --> 00:31:57.920
like, Oh shit, my registration's late. And fucking

00:31:57.920 --> 00:32:00.619
like darting, like darting out of the way last

00:32:00.619 --> 00:32:03.980
minute, hoping one of the fucking like, like,

00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:06.440
cause they, they always keep a couple of cops.

00:32:06.670 --> 00:32:09.690
a couple of blocks back to chase people who do

00:32:09.690 --> 00:32:12.089
that. I was like, I hope they didn't do that.

00:32:12.430 --> 00:32:15.069
Cause I got, I got, I got away with it. Yeah.

00:32:15.210 --> 00:32:16.829
I did. I tried to do that a few months, like

00:32:16.829 --> 00:32:19.490
a month ago, there was a checkpoint by my house

00:32:19.490 --> 00:32:22.390
and I was coming up on a, I had one of my headlights

00:32:22.390 --> 00:32:24.210
was out. So I was driving them on a bright sun

00:32:24.210 --> 00:32:27.210
and I didn't realize it when I came off the freeway,

00:32:27.450 --> 00:32:29.009
they were still on because I usually just turn

00:32:29.009 --> 00:32:31.190
them off. Yeah. until I could get that headlight

00:32:31.190 --> 00:32:34.150
fixed, right? And I'm coming off the freeway

00:32:34.150 --> 00:32:36.950
and the brights are still on, and I see the checkpoint,

00:32:37.650 --> 00:32:40.309
and I'm like, I usually, I don't like dealing

00:32:40.309 --> 00:32:42.809
with the cops around here. I just don't like

00:32:42.809 --> 00:32:45.390
dealing with them. Well, Roanard Park police

00:32:45.390 --> 00:32:50.730
are kind of, they're sketchy. Yeah. So I turned

00:32:50.730 --> 00:32:53.230
right by Rayleigh's shopping center to get to

00:32:53.230 --> 00:32:54.750
my house, because that's the other way I could

00:32:54.750 --> 00:32:58.789
go. And I got pulled over, right? And the guy

00:32:58.789 --> 00:33:00.900
was like, hey, You know, you look, you got your

00:33:00.900 --> 00:33:02.359
head, you got, what do you have your brights

00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:04.359
on? And I was like, oh, I just got off of work

00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:07.279
and I was getting off the freeway, yadda, dadda,

00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:09.539
dadda. Right. And he was like, oh, do you have

00:33:09.539 --> 00:33:11.359
a headlight out? And I was honest with him. I'm

00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:13.980
like, yeah, I got a headlight out. And he asked

00:33:13.980 --> 00:33:15.960
me for my laces. He checked my shit and I was

00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:18.380
clean. And he came back and he was like, okay,

00:33:18.500 --> 00:33:20.119
just, you know, when he pulled, get off the freeway

00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:22.680
until you get that fixed. I just turn off the

00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:25.829
brights. And I was like, holy shit, that's like

00:33:25.829 --> 00:33:28.250
almost never, like the guy pulled me over inside

00:33:28.250 --> 00:33:31.390
the Rayleigh shopping center. And I was like,

00:33:31.529 --> 00:33:33.069
I've never gotten away with it. He's like, I'm

00:33:33.069 --> 00:33:35.029
not gonna write you a ticket or anything because

00:33:35.029 --> 00:33:37.309
he asked me what I did for work and I told him

00:33:37.309 --> 00:33:40.049
and I was like, I just got off like a 10 hour

00:33:40.049 --> 00:33:43.150
shift. So he's like, okay, yeah, just get that

00:33:43.150 --> 00:33:47.549
fixed. So yeah, and then I got it fixed the next

00:33:47.549 --> 00:33:52.000
day. Well, headlights are easy enough. Pop the

00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:54.500
thing out, put a new bulb in, there you go. Bingo

00:33:54.500 --> 00:33:56.880
-bungo. Yeah, I just don't mess around with that

00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:59.839
kind of shit anymore. It's just like you live

00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:02.000
a little, maybe that's why I'm not gonna go to

00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:05.119
hell. Have you ever used the Lord's name in vain?

00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:08.179
Plenty of times. Well, he'll hate you forever

00:34:08.179 --> 00:34:11.659
and peel the skin off you in the fire pit. I

00:34:11.659 --> 00:34:13.059
don't know if that's the hell I'm gonna get,

00:34:13.260 --> 00:34:15.559
Max. You used his name in vain. You're not gonna

00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:18.119
get off easy with the Orc Sex Dungeon. Yeah,

00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:21.329
that's kinda what I want. I mean, tough shit,

00:34:21.889 --> 00:34:24.889
man. Like, if I had a choice in hells, like,

00:34:24.989 --> 00:34:27.949
give me the orc fucking sex dungeon now, repeating

00:34:27.949 --> 00:34:30.789
the same day over and over again. Uh -huh. And

00:34:30.789 --> 00:34:33.090
just being oblivious and I'm just repeating the

00:34:33.090 --> 00:34:36.690
same day over and over again. Yeah. Or the woe

00:34:36.690 --> 00:34:40.269
of knowledgably spending eternity in the pit

00:34:40.269 --> 00:34:44.050
of fire and torment. Yeah. Yeah, like, you just

00:34:44.050 --> 00:34:46.489
know you're in there and it's gonna suck for

00:34:46.489 --> 00:34:49.579
eternity. Yeah. Or the other place to be, the

00:34:49.579 --> 00:34:51.480
other cool, the other, not cool, but the other

00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:53.719
place to be that wouldn't be so bad probably

00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:56.159
would be, what's the place between heaven and

00:34:56.159 --> 00:34:59.900
hell? Purgatory? Purgatory. Okay, like traditionally,

00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.559
do you know what purgatory really is? Not traditionally,

00:35:02.860 --> 00:35:05.159
no. I mean, I don't know. I just know it's a

00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:07.500
place where spirits go that just can't go to

00:35:07.500 --> 00:35:10.159
either heaven or hell. So it's purgatory because

00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:13.000
that's where they purge the sin out of you before

00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:15.179
they can let you into heaven. Everybody's got

00:35:15.179 --> 00:35:18.320
some sin. Right. So for some period of time,

00:35:18.500 --> 00:35:21.840
whether it's 15 minutes or 15 ,000 years, nobody

00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:25.480
knows, but they will peel the skin off your living

00:35:25.480 --> 00:35:28.380
body in the pit. Yeah. Until all the skin has

00:35:28.380 --> 00:35:31.639
been purged. No, it's the same fucking thing.

00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:33.920
It's just for a limited period of time instead

00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:35.099
of forever. So maybe it would be better if I

00:35:35.099 --> 00:35:37.480
was just a lost soul and I just haunted people.

00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:41.199
And I would hump a fuck out of people. Yeah.

00:35:41.980 --> 00:35:44.019
Just pick somebody random and just fucking haunt

00:35:44.019 --> 00:35:45.900
their house. You don't have to pick someone.

00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:49.380
I mean, pick someone. Pick someone. Like, find

00:35:49.380 --> 00:35:51.139
someone who you're really interested in haunting.

00:35:51.420 --> 00:35:54.320
Just be like, yeah, that's what I'm gonna do.

00:35:54.460 --> 00:35:56.380
And just fuck with them. Here's the thing about

00:35:56.380 --> 00:35:59.599
purgatory. It is a limited amount of time followed

00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:03.679
by eternity. in the light of the Lord. Right,

00:36:03.900 --> 00:36:06.280
and I assume heaven would be your personal, whatever

00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:08.019
your personal heaven would be, you know what

00:36:08.019 --> 00:36:10.639
I mean? However bad hell is, heaven should be

00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:12.480
that good. Right. You would think. Yeah, you

00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:15.699
would think. Yeah. So, but having a God -fearing,

00:36:15.940 --> 00:36:18.780
being a God -fearing person though, would you

00:36:18.780 --> 00:36:21.960
be afraid that heaven would be that good? What

00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:23.559
do you mean afraid that it would be that good?

00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:27.260
Like if you fear God. Yeah. Right? Yeah. And

00:36:27.260 --> 00:36:30.659
your promise is paradise of heaven. Don't know.

00:36:30.659 --> 00:36:32.679
I just think it would be like a too big of a

00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:35.139
promise for somebody like that's too big of a

00:36:35.139 --> 00:36:37.820
thing to actually think it's true I just rabbit

00:36:37.820 --> 00:36:40.440
fear God. I don't know that didn't make sense.

00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:44.619
No You're saying somebody would believe in hell

00:36:44.619 --> 00:36:47.300
and be like but heaven sounds too good to be

00:36:47.300 --> 00:36:51.179
true. Yeah No, yeah, he'll send my soul to a

00:36:51.179 --> 00:36:54.920
pit of eternal torment and torture But heaven

00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:57.000
seems too good to be true. But what do you really

00:36:57.000 --> 00:37:00.590
hope for is inky blackness? would it really be

00:37:00.590 --> 00:37:03.130
like paradise? You know what I mean? I guess.

00:37:04.210 --> 00:37:05.969
I don't know. Anyway, I think that's gonna do

00:37:05.969 --> 00:37:08.590
it for our episode. Yeah. We've been going on.

00:37:08.730 --> 00:37:11.230
And look, we're not experts in God. And we're

00:37:11.230 --> 00:37:14.489
not spiritual. Well, kind of. But we're not fucking...

00:37:14.489 --> 00:37:16.550
We're not religious. We're not religious. We

00:37:16.550 --> 00:37:19.150
don't go to church. No. We don't read any holy

00:37:19.150 --> 00:37:22.190
books. But I was just curious why people say

00:37:22.190 --> 00:37:25.449
on their dating profile, I'm looking for a God

00:37:25.449 --> 00:37:27.550
-feared man. Yeah, they just want someone who

00:37:27.550 --> 00:37:32.179
takes their religion seriously. And by their

00:37:32.179 --> 00:37:34.480
religion, I don't mean they're looking for a

00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:37.900
man who takes his religion seriously. They look

00:37:37.900 --> 00:37:41.719
for a man who takes seriously as his own the

00:37:41.719 --> 00:37:44.460
religion that that woman believes. Right. I got

00:37:44.460 --> 00:37:47.860
it. Yeah. So that's going to do it for our episode.

00:37:48.219 --> 00:37:50.679
Hope you guys listen to the whole thing. Yeah.

00:37:51.820 --> 00:37:54.139

00:37:54.139 --> 00:37:57.500
yourself in Costco while making eye contact.

00:37:58.909 --> 00:38:01.110
And being like, yeah, what you gonna do about

00:38:01.110 --> 00:38:04.730
