Episode 106: Clothes

1
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,240
Welcome back to another episode
of A Record of My Father.

2
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,720
Today we're going to be talking
about clothes and how if you

3
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,080
give somebody a forehead kiss,
that's really the sign that

4
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:22,480
they're old as hell.
But I think in the last three

5
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,480
years, I've really stopped
dressing terribly.

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,240
I don't know.
I think I had an experience when

7
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,000
the Ecuadorian guy known as
Carlos came and stayed with us

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,320
for about two weeks and it
really I looked at him and I was

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,440
like, why do I dress so poorly?
That is a wickedly cool story.

10
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,280
Oh, it's a great story.
How how Carlos came about coming

11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,960
to us and and I know it has
nothing to do with clothes, but

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,360
I think that that's something
that you want to before we do

13
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,920
that, we have to look that me
once again, I'm wearing my white

14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,440
T-shirt.
It's not AV neck this time.

15
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,920
This is a nicer one.
This is a true classic.

16
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,120
It gives you flexible and makes
you makes you look skinnier and

17
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,000
fatter at the same time or
something like that.

18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:06,080
You used to do the deep VS when
I well about five years ago.

19
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,800
It was 5-6 years ago and they
were multi colored too.

20
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,280
See, I did all that and and the
reason I wore AT shirt, the

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,160
reason I wear AT shirt, I wear
AT Shirt every night to bed.

22
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,040
Everybody needs to know how Phil
dresses before he goes to bed.

23
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:23,520
But it feels comfortable, new
and clean when I put a white

24
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,720
T-shirt next to my body.
Not a color.

25
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,440
I have colored T-shirts that I
wear during the day, which is

26
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:29,840
weird.
I'll wear a yellow 1 during the

27
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,840
day, but I can't wear a yellow
one to bed.

28
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,560
That's stupid.
And it's the same size, the same

29
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,200
everything I have to put on a
white one, it's A and, and I

30
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,240
think it's a psycho thing, but
it's cooler, it's nicer, it's

31
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,040
the same same cotton.
So it's, you know, even made by

32
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,360
the same company, but it but for
me to wear a T-shirt that's

33
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,120
this.
And I used to have AV neck and

34
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,080
you're absolutely correct
because when I was in business,

35
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,120
I used to have an open collared
shirt.

36
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,160
In the beginning, I had a tie.
When I had a tie, I would have a

37
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,960
full neck like this.
I would have a full neck T-shirt

38
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,520
and when I first started in
business in the 80s and when I

39
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,759
would go on any type of event
where I would go to an event

40
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,960
where I would wear a coat and
tie, I would not wear AV neck.

41
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,920
I would wear that because AV
neck would show through my shirt

42
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,280
and look stupid and and and and
and it's weird.

43
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,480
But but when you're actually
selling your company, your

44
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,400
product, your purpose, yourself,
whatever, you, you pay attention

45
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:31,400
to really minute details.
I would, I mean, my wardrobe was

46
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,880
always like, you know, my
wardrobe that I took and I

47
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,560
traveled then was always like
the best of the best.

48
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,920
And then and and it was funny.
We were talking a few minutes

49
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:42,240
ago about like, well, what's
happened?

50
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,240
You know, you, you during COVID,
It, it just it all went to shit.

51
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,240
You know, I got when I when I
retired.

52
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:54,240
Each time I retire, I usually
drop further down into the

53
00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:59,880
Berry, barely wearing clothes
that are just make you look like

54
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:04,160
a hobo.
No offense to hobos, but with

55
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,520
each time you come back and,
and, and I think I, I mean, I

56
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,160
think that there's something to
be said that if you're dressed

57
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,600
well, you feel well. 100%,
that's what I noticed is that I

58
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,200
started dressing, wear clothes
that actually fitted me 'cause I

59
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,720
think skateboarding gave me a
lasting impression on my

60
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,480
outfits.
From the time that I was, I

61
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,120
don't even know, 10 years old,
nine years old until I was about

62
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,960
20, I think that I dressed like
a skateboarder.

63
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,920
And then when I kind of stopped
skateboarding, like I kind of

64
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:35,280
have to find a new identity.
I kind of have to find an

65
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,600
identity in which I wear shoes
that actually feel good, that

66
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,000
actually are made to walk in as
opposed to skate in.

67
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,720
And I think that at the same
time, you don't really want to

68
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,120
leave that that identity, that
cultural identity that you

69
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,680
affiliated yourself with for so,
so long, right.

70
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,720
It's kind of painful, but at the
same time.

71
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,920
Yeah, exactly.
And that's kind of what I did

72
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,880
when I got rid of that when I
was about 20, as I started

73
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,680
dressing nicer.
And then I looked at other

74
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,800
people that didn't dress so nice
and I was like, well, maybe you

75
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,880
put a little bit of effort in
and these were people that come

76
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,600
from the same socio economic
background and things like that.

77
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,240
And like it isn't doesn't.
So you weren't judging homeless

78
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,440
people?
No, as much as I'd like to judge

79
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,840
them, I didn't really I you.
Don't go down the street.

80
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,320
Hey, you got to RIP in your
pants.

81
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,920
Well, I normally just take the
cup of change that they have and

82
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,880
bring it with me for tolls and
such.

83
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,120
But, you know, I, I just tend to
ignore them and just steal their

84
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,160
money.
Well, I think Reagan was right

85
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,800
when he talked about trickle
down economics.

86
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,000
You know, I think that it's all
going to get down there one day.

87
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,040
Yeah.
It's going to trickle into your

88
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,920
cup and I'm going to steal it.
Oh.

89
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,560
Exactly, 100%.
It's a circle.

90
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,320
It's a circle.
But yeah, what were you going to

91
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,240
say?
Oh, I was just going to like

92
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,320
when I look at my, the way I
dress when I first, my very

93
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,120
first, like I when I I work
construction, you know, you were

94
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,120
whatever.
I mean, I had a uniform at one

95
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:54,320
place where we wore a red shirt
and a blue pants and my I have

96
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,080
my have a name tag.
Got a custom name tag and it was

97
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,640
called Rodger Ramjet Space
Cadet.

98
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,040
Oh yeah, I remember.
Those and that I mean I had that

99
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,240
forever and there there was a
lot of amphetamines involved in

100
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,440
that in that business.
It was thank you Reed

101
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:07,960
foundations.
You were wonderful to me.

102
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:11,800
You taught me so many lessons.
Probably not I no, no, I he

103
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,400
he's, he's probably dead or and
he's only like 6 years old.

104
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,040
Well.
What happens when they dies?

105
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,680
They normally do Reed and Sons,
and then the Sons take it.

106
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:22,920
Over.
I don't think that he got

107
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:30,760
divorced not long after that.
She was, I think she was kind of

108
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,400
chasing guys on the site.
So it, it seemed like it, I

109
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,240
don't know if it was true, you
know, you don't know what

110
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:42,000
happened.
She was a, she was a real ball

111
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,360
Buster.
He was a fair, really hard,

112
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,240
hardest working guy probably
ever met.

113
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,880
You know, never seen anybody.
You know, you, you get up,

114
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,240
you're there at six O clock in
the morning.

115
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,120
He's already there popped all
ready to roll.

116
00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:01,080
You know, he's 25, I'm 19.
He's he's carrying panels with

117
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,840
you.
Panel for panel panels were 90

118
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:04,680
lbs and you're running across an
8.

119
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,440
Inch he was 25 and he owned the
company yes wow, he.

120
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,080
Borrowed the money to pay for
the panels.

121
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,600
They're all aluminum panels.
He came to the Northern Virginia

122
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,160
area and because at that time
interest rates were, I think

123
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,600
they're like 19%.
So people needed a set.

124
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:24,400
They need and, and it took three
weeks to do block walls to build

125
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,320
a house.
It was Montclair mostly.

126
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,160
Most of the work we did was in
Montclair and we also did Burke

127
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,960
Center.
We did a lot of a lot of houses

128
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,320
in Burke Center.
We poured the walls, but we

129
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,840
could do the walls in four days.
And it doesn't sound like much,

130
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,840
but it goes from, you know,
every amount of time that you

131
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:49,560
save when you're paying nearly
20% on your money is just

132
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,440
phenomenal.
Because, you know, if you hold

133
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,560
it, if you borrow a dollar at
the end of 12 months, it's

134
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,320
$1.20.
OK, Savings accounts were 1112%.

135
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,680
So I mean, think about that.
That just doesn't make, it's

136
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,440
just weird, you know?
I mean, you're, you're like just

137
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,320
crazy, you know?
But, but I mean, that was the

138
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:17,000
outfit.
Then where was I going?

139
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,600
We got off on the sideline.
Clothes.

140
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,400
You know what, I've been getting
into jeans recently.

141
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,560
I've been getting back into
jeans because I went up to waist

142
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,520
sizes over the past couple of
years and I was like, maybe I

143
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,440
should buy myself some jeans
that actually fit.

144
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,560
And I did that and I when I was
in Seoul, I bought a pair of

145
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,120
polo jeans.
Not going to lie, I've always

146
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,560
wanted to wear or own a pair of
polo jeans since I was. 14 Do

147
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,960
you have a butt?
14 or 15 I do.

148
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,400
Shockingly, I do.
Oh my God, I don't have mine

149
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,440
because I have none.
You, you have a Cliff.

150
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,040
I have a Cliff.
You have a Cliff that's a.

151
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,560
Cliff, that was that was one of
the reasons I had a foreman that

152
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,680
told me, Ram, you can't be no
foreman.

153
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,160
You ain't got no ass.
And I'm like, and I'm like,

154
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,240
what?
And I'm just like, look at him

155
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,840
like what?
What the hell does that have to

156
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,240
do with anything?
You ain't got no place to hang

157
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,400
your tool belt.
That's a good point, good point.

158
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,960
But I I just right?
I love that.

159
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,640
I like you can't be no forbid.
You ain't got no ass.

160
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,800
It's great.
I love the accent too.

161
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,120
The accent really it was.
It's really close.

162
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,080
It's great on that.
It's pretty close anyway.

163
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,280
I mean, I think that.
You don't wear jeans though

164
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,440
anymore, do you?
No, I would just.

165
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,720
Not really, you wore jeans for a
long time when I I.

166
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,320
Went to school and I wore some
jeans, but I mostly wore like a

167
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,520
hacky type thing.
I remember maybe I mean

168
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,240
corduroys and and jeans are what
I wore all the time.

169
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,000
School, regular flannel shirts,
stuff like that.

170
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,760
Usually your Kmart flannel
shirts.

171
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:51,560
Nothing because it was pre
economically enhanced I will

172
00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:53,520
say.
And then I went to, when I went

173
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,160
to work in the 80s at my very
first professional job, we were

174
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,640
required to wear a tie every
day, you know, and we never saw

175
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,040
anybody that mattered.
We never met customers.

176
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,240
We were behind.
We were on a phone all day.

177
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,240
And we were, you know, and all
we had was we had a tie.

178
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,320
And you wear your shirt and wear
your slacks and wear dress shoes

179
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,000
every single day and you're
digging around in the stacks

180
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,600
copying documents.
Then I started a business and

181
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,160
when I started a business, we
had a press go.

182
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,520
You got to look professional.
So and then one day I threw the

183
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:23,800
tie off and I said, this is
stupid.

184
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:25,920
So I wouldn't wear the tie
anymore.

185
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:31,360
And then slowly but surely the
tie became AT shirt, you know,

186
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,600
and then I and then, and then
the pants became shorts and then

187
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,600
the shoes became sandals.
And so then we, you know,

188
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,520
through the years, our policies
were, you know, we want your

189
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,880
major body parts.
Covered.

190
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,960
Well, that's not just there
either.

191
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,240
The tie is gone, it seems like.
It seems like the tie is gone

192
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,440
even at funerals.
I don't even see people wear

193
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,720
ties at funerals anymore, even
weddings.

194
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,680
I don't think I wore a tie at
Michaela's wedding.

195
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,360
I don't think I did.
I, I do because I did, I don't

196
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,960
know and I think it's required
for me, but that's.

197
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,880
Just that might be the last time
I wore a tie.

198
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,800
That's three years ago.
So it's like you think about

199
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,800
that and you think about the hat
too.

200
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,040
When JFK became president.
When JFK became president, he

201
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,880
got rid of the whole societal
norm that men needed to wear

202
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,280
hats because he just never wore
a hat.

203
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,120
And people were like, wow, I
guess we don't need to own.

204
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,120
He has hair too.
That too he.

205
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,720
Had a big head of hair and it's
like, you know, he was, he was a

206
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,680
hot looking dude with a big head
of hair and bald people.

207
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,760
And and think about it.
Most people wearing hats weren't

208
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,240
25, they were 45.
That's fair.

209
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,960
You know, we all had a receipt.
I mean, look at my hairline.

210
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,760
My gosh, it's, you know.
I was born with the the luck

211
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,920
that I got your hairline, but
also granddad's, which is also

212
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,480
terrible.
He's worse man.

213
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:47,800
He's got a bigger forehead than
me.

214
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,880
I can't wait.
To now he's got a much bigger

215
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,400
forehead, but we shouldn't talk
about that.

216
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:57,360
Well, I'm going to.
That got me good.

217
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,880
That got me really good.
Oh my God.

218
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:04,440
But the whole thing is that what
did I Well, we just found a hat

219
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,680
collection up in the attic.
Because my parents, like many

220
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:11,120
other parents, want me to throw
my memories away, want me to

221
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,200
forget that I was ever a child.
Because having memory is a sign

222
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,400
of weakness.
And that's why I kind of went

223
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,480
back and I threw away everything
that I ever know and liked and

224
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,760
remembered when I was.
Loved only the things that you

225
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,040
loved that we took away from you
specifically because we believe

226
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,320
that that that builds a strength
of character.

227
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,640
It builds.
Character, it really does.

228
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,320
But at the same time, I'm
looking at about, oh wow, I have

229
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,880
like 10 hats out here now.
So I'm very thankful for that,

230
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,520
you know?
I I used to collect hats.

231
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,960
I had everything from my Roger.
My Roger Ramjet hat was the

232
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,360
little, it was a welder's hat,
you know, the little cotton one

233
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,600
that goes here, across here.
And it had goggles and I had

234
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,600
goggles and that's what I wore
to work.

235
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,160
And people would look at me
like, and I'd be like, yeah,

236
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:57,080
what's up?
Just just well, because when

237
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,840
people, when you're crazy,
people just like, but but I was

238
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,800
incredibly good at what it did.
And that's, that's what I've

239
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,960
always been focused on.
You know, you can be, you can be

240
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,240
a little weird, but if you're
really good at what you do, it's

241
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,360
like people sort of let that go.
And then I think, and, and we

242
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,320
got to my first job, we got to
my, the first business where we

243
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,760
went and I and I slowly broke
down the dress code and then the

244
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,920
partners where they're like,
yeah, what's you know, where

245
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,400
what's comfortable.
And then we got to a point where

246
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,480
we couldn't say where what's
comfortable because people were

247
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,400
wearing things that, you know,
we had women wearing see through

248
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:34,040
tops and they weren't wearing
bras and, and, and it didn't

249
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,600
encourage shitty men to say
things that they shouldn't be

250
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,080
saying.
But then it's like it and it was

251
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,480
the 90s.
So there wasn't any me too

252
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,360
movement at that time, but we
were like aware of that.

253
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,560
But there's also guys.
We had a guy that wore leotards,

254
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:56,800
leotards and he was a how do we
say this in a nice way?

255
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,440
He had a very big banana and he
didn't wear underwear.

256
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,280
And he comes in, he wears those
biker leotard pants that are

257
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,480
skin tight and you could see the
outline of his junk in it.

258
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,760
And he's in the and he's walking
over to people.

259
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,000
And if you're sitting down at my
height and someone's standing

260
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,520
here, you turn and your face is
like staring at turning junk.

261
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:22,760
And and and and HR said that
they had problems.

262
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,680
And I'm like, well, certainly no
one's complaining.

263
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:28,480
The goddamn thing's huge.
You know what I find ridiculous

264
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,040
is the the idea that people ride
their bike to work.

265
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,120
I hate it.
Because you know what they do

266
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,760
that for?
They do it to prove that they're

267
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,800
better than you.
They do that to prove that

268
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,240
they're better than you and that
you are worse than them.

269
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,920
And for some reason, taking a
shower at your job makes you an

270
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,840
exceptional human being.
And I don't think that's true.

271
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,720
I don't see this.
The shitty ones did, but in the

272
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,800
beginning we did have a shower,
but later we didn't have a

273
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,480
shower and people wouldn't take
a shower.

274
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,360
They would ride their bikes.
But remember, we were downtown

275
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,480
DC, so they were riding from
like Dupont Circle on a bike.

276
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,360
So they're going 10 blocks.
It's not, you know, you ain't

277
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,320
getting.
You could literally they could

278
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,080
coast from their house to our
office.

279
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,960
They might have to pedal on the
way home, but it was nothing.

280
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:17,640
We 80% of our 87% of our
workforce used public

281
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,840
transportation.
Yeah, yeah, everybody.

282
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,080
I mean, most of the people or
some people that no, we people

283
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,800
that run, we're on a metro line.
We're right on a metro line, no?

284
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,040
No, I'm talking about the people
that run like a marathon before

285
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,240
they get to work.
You know, you ever see?

286
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:31,320
Yeah, Yeah.
We had that.

287
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,760
We had that came in.
Miles before.

288
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,640
We fired a guy because of that,
because he was, he, he lived in

289
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,480
DuPont.
And he was trying to say that,

290
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,880
you know, he couldn't make it by
9:00 because traffic was bad.

291
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,640
And he was, he was riding a
bicycle.

292
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,040
And I remember when, because we
had to go before a labor court

293
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,480
because he was challenging us
not paying him anything because

294
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,600
we're like, you got fired.
No, I didn't get fired.

295
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,800
You didn't have business.
And I'm like, yeah, but we have.

296
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,440
You didn't do any work, you
know.

297
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,960
But anyway, the I remember The
funny thing is like we're

298
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,520
sitting there and I'm asking
them.

299
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,360
So.
So you get up and you come in

300
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,640
and you're late like once a week
goes.

301
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,920
Yeah, is it?
And you bring your you bring

302
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,440
your breakfast in every day.
Well, well, yeah, I got to eat

303
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:25,320
breakfast And and you you get in
like 920 and then you eat

304
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,360
breakfast.
And then sometimes you shower.

305
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,560
He goes, yeah, well, you know,
if I rode my bike in from

306
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,120
DuPont, it's 20 blocks or 15
blocks.

307
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,240
And I'd be like, yeah, and I'm
doing this in the judge is like,

308
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,840
what the hell?
And and, and work starts at 9.

309
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,360
And I said, well, did you ever
try like coming in earlier?

310
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,520
Did you ever try like waking up
earlier and, you know, getting

311
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,200
there earlier?
And, and he looks at me with a

312
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,520
straight face and says, you
know, I tried that and it didn't

313
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,360
work.
So he won the case, right?

314
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,800
The judge almost spit and it was
just funny.

315
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,680
But we figured, you know, we're,
we're business, you know, we're

316
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,160
horrible.
And they are, you know, in labor

317
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,400
and, and, you know, we, we tried
to do the right thing with most

318
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,120
people.
And you know, this guy was just

319
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,240
God and, and to throw the racial
dispersion out, he was a white

320
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:23,720
guy, you know, So it, it, it,
he's the only one we ever took

321
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,560
to court.
The only person we ever took to

322
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,080
court for being a lazy fuck was
a white.

323
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,680
Guy, it always is the whites,
but it's so.

324
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,080
Funny that you would like you,
you want to throw the you know,

325
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,520
hey, it's a bad driver.
It's.

326
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,400
Yeah, it's a white guy.
I see what you're saying.

327
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,720
That's what I'm saying.
That that was what was so funny.

328
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,480
But anyway.
You know what?

329
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,320
Something that's changed my
life, probably when I was 16.

330
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:53,000
I no longer wear ankle socks.
I only wear tube socks.

331
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,280
Crew socks, as they say.
I only wear crew socks.

332
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,520
Well, I'm a crew sock guy
through and through.

333
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,640
I I actually just started
adopting that because I I'm a

334
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,400
person who wears the little low
cut things that hide and leave

335
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,160
the.
Shoe eats them.

336
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,800
The shoe eats them no matter
what.

337
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,720
Well, not if you spend.
Like if you buy, if you buy the

338
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,839
$15 a piece ones, they their
shoes don't eat them.

339
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,920
The well, they don't eat them
for a year or so.

340
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:21,560
The but I started buying those
Bombas.

341
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,599
You know the Bomba socks.
Those look comfortable.

342
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,800
And like an ankle and I put
those on and they're white and

343
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,640
they're like, I got the blue
tops, the red tops, the green

344
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,360
tops and all that kind of which
I don't care.

345
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,560
And I got to say that they are
really, really, really

346
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:43,520
comfortable.
And never in my life have I ever

347
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:48,480
felt like I didn't look totally
stupid wearing white socks.

348
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,720
You look at those, it's like I
don't care.

349
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,760
And you were, you were the one
that taught me that.

350
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,560
Because I looked at you for
years wearing white socks, going

351
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,520
that is the goofiest thing in
the world and you would never

352
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,200
match them.
That was even more funny.

353
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,840
No, I still don't match them to
this day.

354
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,440
They all they look vaguely
similar, so it's like who's

355
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,240
really?
Well, they're white.

356
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,120
Yeah, exactly.
As long as well, there's The

357
00:18:11,120 --> 00:18:14,200
funny thing is I'll I'll wear a
Puma one with a a Dickies one

358
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,480
sometime yes, I.
Have that.

359
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,600
I have that pair.
I wear that pair.

360
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,560
I have a Dickies in a Puma pair.
I act.

361
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,200
It's funny that you say that
because I was just, I was, I was

362
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,440
mating my socks.
Can I say that?

363
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,000
Steal all my socks.
That's why I came back after

364
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,160
wondering where all my socks
went and all of them were in

365
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,120
your house.
I was like, what the hell?

366
00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:35,320
What They were in my sock
basket.

367
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:36,120
I was like, do I?
Do I have to?

368
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,480
Because I bought like $40 worth
of socks before I left the last

369
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:40,520
time.
The time before last.

370
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,040
They fit pretty well.
And I was wondering where they

371
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,240
went.
And then I found them.

372
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:45,920
I found them all.
In my sock.

373
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,760
Basket in my ankle socks too.
Actually on the ankle socks, I

374
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,720
forgot about that.
I love that, but I mean, when I

375
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,920
think about we were, we were up
to the, the business were

376
00:18:54,920 --> 00:19:00,120
progressed to and then after we
had the HR people saying that

377
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:05,000
women couldn't wear certain
things, it we, we, we were

378
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,920
always said the policy just
people will, people will dress

379
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,000
appropriately.
We don't need to to dictate how

380
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,400
they dress.
And it, and it's been like, you

381
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,200
know, our business policy is
always sort of cascaded from

382
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,720
that, like, and then when people
overstepped it, then you'd have

383
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,000
to step in and say you can't do
that in the hopes that they

384
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,600
wouldn't come back.
You have no dress policy.

385
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,200
You can't tell me that.
It's like, do you really want us

386
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,080
to have a dress policy just
because you need to show your

387
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,800
Weiner to everybody?
I mean, really.

388
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,160
Yeah, that's a little.
You know, I mean, well, that's

389
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,440
kind of the thing, you know, or
the the people that come in and

390
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,400
it's like she walks up to you
and you're going and you're just

391
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,960
oh, oh.
Being distracted at work is not

392
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,000
a good thing.
Yeah, And it's I And The thing

393
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,880
is, is I don't want to be like,
oh, you're such a pig.

394
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,640
And it's like, well, yeah, but
I, I, I don't know where I'm at

395
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,560
on that.
I'm kind of on a funny line that

396
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:05,520
that it's is it that to wear
something that's not so sheer?

397
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,840
Well, that was the thing, too.
It's like, well, underwire bras

398
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,840
in the past.
What is it, 10 years?

399
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,360
That's 21.
To cause breast cancer, it's.

400
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,080
Correct, but that's all the all
the women with the with the

401
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,960
pointy boots, right?
Yeah, yeah, The underwire ones,

402
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,960
yeah.
And that's shown to cause breast

403
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,840
cancer in a lot of people, which
is interesting.

404
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,680
But at the same time, I used to
have stomped.

405
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,600
Yeah.
But you've never been fat

406
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,800
though, so.
Not really.

407
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:37,320
Not really.
I've been chunky, but not yeah,

408
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,160
but I was like 12.
So it's like what?

409
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:39,800
Do you?
Yeah, you were.

410
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:40,360
Yeah.
Yeah.

411
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,920
So you hadn't really.
I was 12 years old.

412
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,720
I don't know.
Can is a 12 year old fat?

413
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,400
Like I don't know.
No, they're they're they're.

414
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,080
You can't.
I don't know what is the what is

415
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,960
the fat until you were 20 years
old.

416
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,640
I think you you can be fat if
they're 5 foot 6 and they weigh

417
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,320
210.
OK, fair.

418
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,680
OK.
I think they're, if they're, if

419
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,720
their weight is supposed to be
140 and it's 150 or 160, they're

420
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:13,000
chubby, OK, Or they're what's
that thing you say, Jolly or you

421
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,240
know, all the other things.
Yeah, well, that was the whole

422
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,880
thing with the.
I forgot what it was.

423
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,960
It was like the Cambodian 8 year
old, he was smoking cigarettes

424
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,520
from the time that he was like 5
and then he was 8 now.

425
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,040
And then she's like, well, he
gets mad when I take his

426
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,040
cigarettes away.
And I think there's another

427
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:33,400
video that was like, Oh yeah.
Like with doughnuts though.

428
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,200
And there's like a £250 like 10
year old and he's like, but he

429
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,640
gets mad when I dig his
doughnuts away.

430
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,560
And I'm like, you can't really,
you can't really parent based on

431
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,720
what they, well, that was if
it's cigarettes or doughnuts

432
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,040
either.
I saw the lady that was making

433
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,080
the breakfast for the guy that
weighed 800 lbs and he couldn't

434
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,680
get out of his bed and she would
cook 2 1/2 lbs of bacon.

435
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,520
She would do 2 loaves of breads
of toast.

436
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:06,320
She would took three dozen eggs
and and then a box a box or two

437
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,120
of cereal.
And it was so expensive.

438
00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:09,960
And you were and he.
Was like looking and you were

439
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,600
going like and people were like,
well, why?

440
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:16,280
Well, he's hungry and you're
like, but, but you know, if you

441
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,680
didn't like, look, all that he
can't get out of bed, he's going

442
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,200
to lose.
Weight, exactly, but he's

443
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,440
hungry.
You know, and what it is is they

444
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,200
have a, it's almost like a
Pavlov dog thing when you see

445
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,480
people this.
I've kind of seen it in and,

446
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:38,480
and, and my own family where
people react to, to a stimulus

447
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,480
that's been thrown at them.
Like if you scream at somebody

448
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,600
enough and, and then like if I
was screaming you all the time

449
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,480
when you're growing up and all
of a sudden when I scream, you

450
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,640
might, you might come running to
see what was wrong.

451
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,120
You know, that's the way it was
in my house.

452
00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:53,040
You know, it's like you, you,
you would, you would go to see

453
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,120
what was wrong.
What can I do to to solve this?

454
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,280
Because as soon as you solved
it, then it would go away and

455
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,400
everything would be fine for 30
seconds.

456
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,720
Oh, the lighter.
Yeah, I.

457
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,720
Remember the lighter?
But that was the way it was.

458
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,360
It was, you know, everybody
would wake up and try to try to

459
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,600
make it good, make it work.
And food is the same way.

460
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,680
And you see it with food.
You see it with all these things

461
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,120
with the little kids.
Well, little Johnny's hungry.

462
00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:15,640
He's like, no, he's not.
He's 250.

463
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,200
He's 3 foot 7.
Shut up.

464
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,280
Well, I think I got to.
Because you don't want to see

465
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,320
him cry and go freaking out.
And it's like, you know, I've

466
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,200
seen you do that.
My parents have seen me do that.

467
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,480
Every single person you've ever
seen.

468
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,880
What, freak out or something?
Known or met, they've all been

469
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,920
shitty little brats.
They screamed on the floor, they

470
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,520
beat on the floor.
They've yelled and screamed and

471
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,040
said you didn't buy me this or
you didn't buy me that or you

472
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,840
didn't give me this or you
didn't give me that.

473
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:48,960
Every single, I mean, I, I think
it would be hard except for

474
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,440
maybe the children, Ethiopia,
that maybe they scream for

475
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,000
water.
I don't know, you know.

476
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,120
Yeah.
But at the same time, I have to

477
00:23:58,120 --> 00:24:01,120
ask, should I get LASIK?
I think I should.

478
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:02,600
I think I should do it.
What does that have to do with?

479
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,160
Clothes.
I'm kind of scared though,

480
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,800
because I think about the
clothing that's changed

481
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,440
specifically for you in the last
20 years, and that's reading

482
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,160
glasses.
Glasses are definitely an

483
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,600
attribute to which you did not
have before.

484
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,680
And you have, Yeah.
Well, I went through multiple

485
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,680
different phases when it comes
to glasses, but a couple more

486
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,520
things on the on the on the
clothes.

487
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:29,480
I did the I slowly went back to
dress casual, business casual

488
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,720
because we sold the company for
and for two or three years I was

489
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,280
into that.
Then I moved into working at

490
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,880
another company and I was always
like dressed up, but I wanted to

491
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,640
be, have a moniker because I
would go to these shows and you

492
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,080
know, there's 9000 people in the
hall or 3000 and you couldn't

493
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,600
see them.
So I, I decided that I was going

494
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,880
to start wearing Hawaiian
shirts, no ties, none of that

495
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,760
stuff.
And I would wear a Hawaiian

496
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,560
shirt, you know, like, what is
it?

497
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,040
John?
Who, who is that guy?

498
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,880
Johnny Bahama.
Yeah, Tommy Bom.

499
00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:03,240
Those, those shirts, I would
wear the most colorful shirts

500
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,400
and I would wear these and
everybody would see me.

501
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,720
Everybody would know me.
And then they remember that I

502
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,040
was there.
Oh, you know, and televise is

503
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,800
here, Phil.
Oh, and so and so's here.

504
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,240
There's Phil.
Because they, they would

505
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,400
recognize it and they would
recognize their shirts.

506
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:22,400
And it became a moniker.
And I wore that for 10 years,

507
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,440
you know, but I would wear suits
and ties to corporate events and

508
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:27,560
all that kind of stuff like
that.

509
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,440
I still do.
What was the one?

510
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,120
Of the time you went to a
funeral and you wore a tie, did

511
00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:34,920
you wear a tie at the last
funeral you went to?

512
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,120
Yes or not.
Let me see, Let me see whose

513
00:25:37,120 --> 00:25:39,600
funeral I went to last.
Let me think, what's the last

514
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,840
one I went to?
I guess Sergeant Major Canley,

515
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,720
right, That was yeah.
I wore one there.

516
00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:46,880
Did I wear one?
Yes, you did.

517
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,760
I did.
Absolutely.

518
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,360
Your grandfather's did we wear
one there?

519
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,520
I wasn't there.
We went and we were dressed

520
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,240
nice, but we didn't wear coats
and ties, no.

521
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,880
Well, that wasn't really a a, a
church kind of burial thing.

522
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,360
I think when you're at a church,
yeah, you have to wear a tie.

523
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,440
I don't.
Know no, no, people don't do

524
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,000
that anymore.
I mean, I went to when I went

525
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,000
to.
What about weddings?

526
00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:11,920
Weddings.
Not really.

527
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,800
I know we wore a tie last year
when Seth and Allison got

528
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,560
married.
Did I?

529
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,440
Yeah.
I don't think I did.

530
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:20,840
You had a coat and tie and you.
Wait, hold on.

531
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,520
This could actually tell me
because I have a photo of that

532
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,120
wedding.
Hold on.

533
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:25,320
Oh, you do.
Give me a second.

534
00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:26,600
Here.
Let me look at that.

535
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,200
Let me look at that.
Let me look here.

536
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,000
Real.
Where was that?

537
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:35,520
Indiana.
That was in Michigan City IN.

538
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,720
Michigan City.
Michigan City IN.

539
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,160
It was a funny place.
That's weird.

540
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,640
Where's the photo of this?
This is the Derby.

541
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:46,400
Oh, there it is.
OK.

542
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,800
I did not wear tie.
I did not wear a tie.

543
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,520
I didn't wear a tie.
You wore a tie?

544
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,600
I did not.
Yeah.

545
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,280
I don't have a tie on you.
You know what's funny?

546
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,360
I start looking at the crowd.
I don't have a tie.

547
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,360
Yeah, and it's like, no, you
didn't.

548
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:02,800
Oh my.
Nope, no tie.

549
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,000
John didn't wear a tie.
John didn't wear a tie either.

550
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,800
Yeah.
Oh my gosh, John, you didn't

551
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,680
wear a tie.
You're being, you're being

552
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,720
marked right now.
Lenny didn't wear a tie.

553
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,880
A lot of people, I don't know if
Mitch wore a tie or not.

554
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,560
He wore a tie, I think.
Wait, wait, let me.

555
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:19,640
Go back.
Edwin didn't wear a tie.

556
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:21,880
Was that last year?
Wow.

557
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,160
Wow, that was.
Mitch wore a tie.

558
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,320
John McGee did not wear a tie.
Oh my God, we're going to go

559
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:28,760
through and call.
Leslie didn't wear a tie.

560
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,280
Mary Ann didn't wear a tie.
Look at that.

561
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,840
I did not wear a tie to the
Kentucky Derby.

562
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,600
You didn't, did I?
I did with my white stuff.

563
00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:40,920
No, no he did not.
It was hot.

564
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,480
Yeah, most of these, most of
these that I look at no, no

565
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,440
ties, but but you know that
we've we've gotten, I mean, I

566
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,760
wear a tie with that white
jacket because it sets it off.

567
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,440
It's the color.
And that that's, I mean, that's

568
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:54,800
the reason that you wear
something.

569
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,000
Wait, if you got a white strip
down the front and this when we

570
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,480
went to the you hold it, you
wore a tie when we went to your

571
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,200
premiere.
Did I?

572
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,240
Oh, I did.
Cuz that was tuxedo.

573
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,360
Yeah, yeah.
Tuxedo, you kind of have to.

574
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,080
I mean, I see people that kind
of drop them and I see people

575
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,560
that don't wear ties at all.
But I think that that just sort

576
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,960
of that's like the cherry on the
top.

577
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,520
I mean I don't like it, but it
makes it look good.

578
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,280
I think it's ridiculous.
I don't know.

579
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,880
To me, I think it's ridiculous.
It constricts my neck.

580
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,480
I don't like it.
I don't know.

581
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,360
The whole tuxedo thing is dumb,
I mean.

582
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,600
When we were compromising our
when you think this is dumb.

583
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,720
You gotta go pee.
It's just, it's, it's a pain in

584
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:33,880
the ass, no.
Exactly.

585
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,160
I completely agree.
Yeah, Yeah.

586
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,520
I think that that's that's
absolutely very silly.

587
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,040
But I have.
I got into, when I retired, I

588
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,320
went through the last company,
did all the flowery shirts and I

589
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,600
kept kind of wearing the flowery
shorts here and there 'cause I'd

590
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,960
meet people and then I stopped
that and then I just became full

591
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,080
on slob.
And I had, you know, full on

592
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,000
slob through COVID and I used to
it was same thing with shaving.

593
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,840
I remember watching you wear the
same pair of sweatpants for two

594
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,480
weeks and I was like, you gotta
this is bad.

595
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,880
No, I just bought 3 pair and I
was only wearing one of them for

596
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,240
six months.
Straight.

597
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,960
But I was, I would wear
sweatpants and I would wear AT

598
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,840
shirt and that would be it.
And, and the cool thing about

599
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,960
white T-shirts is they, you
know, with Kanye, they were

600
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,880
like, or Ye, they were a cool
thing and everybody was cool

601
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,320
wearing a white T-shirt.
So I'm cool because I'm wearing

602
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,640
a white T-shirt.
But it's like, it's not because

603
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,520
I'm trying to be cool.
It's because I'm just lazy and

604
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:31,600
it's the same thing with
shaving.

605
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,480
It's like I used to shave every
day and now I shave once every

606
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,560
three days.
I shaved recently, you can see

607
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,000
old white.
Face right now, a razor.

608
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,520
That feels like it has been an
abandoned mental institution for

609
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,760
a year and it felt like I was
cutting my face with a rusty

610
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,200
pipe.
I need to get new blades.

611
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,160
I don't know why it's so rough.
It's so odd.

612
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,120
I think there's rust on it.
Because you use it 700 times.

613
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,400
Maybe, I don't know, that might
be it, I mean.

614
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,960
They do go do get dull.
Yeah.

615
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,320
No, no, it is.
It's like my face.

616
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:10,120
Yeah, well, I think through the
years that I have done, I've

617
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,680
gone back, I went back to
casual, I went back to ultra

618
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,680
casual.
So I would go to the store and

619
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,800
your mother would just like, and
she got sloppy too.

620
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,680
I mean, it was just sort of a
whole thing that around carb

621
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,640
COVID, it was just around
basically like, well, fuck it,

622
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,640
you know?
Yeah, it's kind of, well,

623
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,400
everybody thought they were
going to die.

624
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,960
So it's like, why would I die
dressed up?

625
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,200
That doesn't make any sense
because.

626
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,800
It's, it's, it's, it's I'm going
to be comfortable.

627
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,640
It became a me type of thing.
It became very, very when I

628
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,680
think about COVID, I think it, I
think about it being very

629
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,840
selfish.
Everybody was very much focused

630
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,960
on their personal situation.
That's the way the human race

631
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,160
is.
Yeah, but even more so because

632
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,120
it's a microcosm, because you're
stuck at home and it's just you,

633
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,320
you know?
So why would I care about you?

634
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:01,480
You're on the other side of the
world.

635
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:02,840
Who cares?
I'm over here.

636
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,680
You're, you know, it's that kind
of thing.

637
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,440
We don't interact.
I don't touch people.

638
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,520
I just see shit online from
social media that tells me to

639
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,600
not wear a mask, Wear a mask,
Not, you know, whatever.

640
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,240
That's when I stopped reading
the news was about a year before

641
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,080
then I was like, I'm not doing
it anymore.

642
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,760
I'm just not doing it.
It is crazy.

643
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,280
It's exhausting.
And then nothing's true anymore

644
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:24,400
either.
But your.

645
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:32,200
Mother, your mother took me to
Nordstrom's in 2021, maybe 2022,

646
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,200
and I was there and I really
wasn't thinking.

647
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:36,800
I was buying clothes.
And she was like, oh, you want

648
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:37,840
to look?
And I'm like, OK.

649
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:43,520
And I met this lady and lady's
like, oh, I got an outfit for

650
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,520
you.
And I'm like, OK, and she

651
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,960
brought it over.
I go try it on, Fits perfect.

652
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,240
And I actually like looked in
the mirror and I was like, my

653
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,560
God, you don't look like
absolute shit.

654
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,520
You know which I always look
like absolute shit.

655
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,320
And then she goes and she goes,
what about this shirt?

656
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,320
What about these pants?
What about this shirt?

657
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,240
What about these pants?
What about this shirt?

658
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:13,200
She redressed me in an hour and
a half maybe, and then she said

659
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,560
you need shoes.
So she takes me over and I buy

660
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,880
and that's when I bought those
leather shoes and every single.

661
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,920
Person.
Ever seen those shoes are like,

662
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,600
whoa.
I mean, they just they're,

663
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:29,200
they're a brown, light brown,
medium brown leather tennis

664
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,360
shoe.
They're Giovanni's or something

665
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,000
like that.
They're they're just, and

666
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:37,640
they're really comfortable and,
and it just, and that then all

667
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,800
of a sudden it's like I noticed
that people treated me

668
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,120
differently than when I wouldn't
wearing sweats.

669
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,640
Oh, it's it's still night and
day comparatively.

670
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,960
Like I've gone into places
hungover, wearing sweatpants, no

671
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:55,120
shoes on, barefoot on the floor,
ripped T-shirt with a.

672
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,480
Little vomit on the front, I
love that.

673
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:01,200
Sort of body fluid on the front
of it and they don't really like

674
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:02,880
that.
But when you wear a nice pair of

675
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:07,760
shorts and A and a nice crop
T-shirt or something like that,

676
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,480
you look a lot better.
You look a lot better and people

677
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,880
respect you too.
But not only that, you respect

678
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,800
yourself, respect yourself a lot
more.

679
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,200
Well, that's a nightmare.
But if you really want to stand

680
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,200
out, the best thing you can do
is go to a place where

681
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,120
everybody's well dressed and
you're not.

682
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,480
Exactly.
But you got to have confidence

683
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,840
because like, and, and I've
never seen more confidence than

684
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:34,280
when your uncle visited us and
we were having breakfast at the

685
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:39,520
Ritz Carlton and we sat there
and we're all like kind of kind

686
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,760
of nice dressed a little bit.
I think we have collared shirts

687
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,920
and everything because you go
down and it's like a, it's kind

688
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,600
of a sushi place.
And we, I was at Intelligize and

689
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:48,760
they had their sales meeting
there.

690
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,560
And then we tacked on a few days
and I brought the family and I

691
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,160
meant it's Amelia Island, Ritz
Carlton's beautiful, it's on the

692
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,200
beach, It's everything.
We go there, we're eating

693
00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:04,160
breakfast. 2019 and he comes and
and I think did you say somebody

694
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,920
or maybe I, I, I, I don't know
if I insulted him or not I said,

695
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:13,040
oh wow, you need to move close
to the table.

696
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,080
Why?
Well, because you're dripping

697
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,360
the food on your belly.
And did I say that or you said

698
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,320
that somebody?
That was not me, I think that

699
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:21,440
was you.
Yeah.

700
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:26,159
And then he goes, oh, I got a
stain and I and I just kind of

701
00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:29,440
looked and he just kind of
looked at me and goes, well, I

702
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,480
can fix that.
And he stands up and he and he's

703
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:38,840
wearing AT shirt and he takes it
off and he's and he's a very,

704
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,800
very large man.
And he does this in the Ritz

705
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:46,440
Carlton and he takes his shirt
off and he's topless and his

706
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:51,199
boobs are probably about a 38
double D.

707
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,400
He does the flip and he puts it
on inside out and he.

708
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,640
Goes.
And he looks at me and he goes,

709
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:03,040
took care of that, didn't I?
And I was just like, Oh my God,

710
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,680
that that to me is the most
confidence I've ever seen.

711
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:12,320
I'm but most amazed by that.
And I mean, I don't think

712
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,720
anybody in the restaurant wasn't
looking at him.

713
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,960
It was just, it was amazing
surprise though.

714
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,720
I mean, like I well, it was the
restaurant portion too, and I

715
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:26,480
think it was about 125 person
room if I remember correctly.

716
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,600
Yeah, yeah.
It was like a day room or

717
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,560
something.
And it was silver on the table,

718
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,920
huge and everything.
They had the silver tea service,

719
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,440
all sorts of happy horseshit
that made you think like, wow,

720
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:36,480
this.
Is really we should go back

721
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:37,400
there?
Do you want to go back there?

722
00:35:37,720 --> 00:35:39,200
I like that place.
I would do that.

723
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:40,080
I would.
Go back there.

724
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:41,720
But this time we would all wear
tea.

725
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,480
Well, I like Florida.
I don't know what it is, but I

726
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,160
don't know.
There's something about Florida

727
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:48,080
that I really like.
Do.

728
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,480
You have Nazi blood.
No, not really.

729
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,560
But I think the attributes I
like where crocodiles live.

730
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:58,160
I I roll downhill.
That's a a good vein kind of in

731
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,720
my life.
Is that where crocodiles grow

732
00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:03,640
up, where they they're nurtured
and where they grow up to become

733
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,560
dinosaurs?
Are you OK with mosquitoes?

734
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,480
I really.
Oh, no, I really hate

735
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:08,560
mosquitoes.
That's the problem.

736
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,640
They're they're they're like
that's.

737
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,720
I mean, Virginia, they're,
they're terrible as.

738
00:36:13,720 --> 00:36:15,440
Well, not even close.
Really.

739
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,440
Not even close.
Not next in Florida, Yeah.

740
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,360
We got malaria or something?
Yeah, but it's it's also a

741
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,480
longer mosquito season.
I've never been to Miami.

742
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,920
I don't think I ever need to go.
I'm not really.

743
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,880
We camped out in the Everglades
and I just remember that that

744
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,800
there's a commercial that you
see where they have a like a

745
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,040
aquarium and the person sticks
their arm in and they don't have

746
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,960
off and you just see like all
these mosquitoes all over it.

747
00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:40,280
They pull it out.
It's just like they have a fat

748
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,640
10,000 and an aquarium.
You stick your arm in there and

749
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,560
they all oh, food and they go
get it, but then they spray off

750
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:49,040
on and they stick it and no one
lands on it and the Everglades

751
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,480
and you go and you do that.
They just plenty with light on

752
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,080
you like so quick.
And we camped outside.

753
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,720
That was a that was a really fun
and interesting story.

754
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:05,520
And I in the middle of summer
August war folding pants, socks.

755
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,720
I had a shirt, flannel shirt all
the way down to my all the way

756
00:37:10,720 --> 00:37:13,160
down to here.
I had a T-shirt underneath it.

757
00:37:13,720 --> 00:37:16,520
I was in a sleeping bag and I
rolled it up over the top of my

758
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,960
head.
I still I got bit on my forehead

759
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:27,000
from mosquitoes and all night
long was and I was like 16 years

760
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,880
old.
And that's when he took me to

761
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:33,160
the bar place called the Morgue.
And they're like he bought.

762
00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:37,920
We had I had Roman Cokes and I
got a hammer on Roman Cokes.

763
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,080
That was.
You know what's so messed up is

764
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:45,560
when I was 14, that was the
first alcoholic mixture I got

765
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,400
blackout drunk on was Roman
Cokes 'cause I don't know where

766
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,400
you know what it was.
I was watching Trailer Park Boys

767
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:55,400
and it was Julian because I I
think it completed a season

768
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,240
night.
When you wanted to do that.

769
00:37:57,240 --> 00:37:58,960
Yeah, 'cause he was drinking
them every time.

770
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,520
I'm like, well, that's the only
alcoholic drink I know one and

771
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,120
then I don't like beer cuz I'm
not really that old yet.

772
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,440
And you drink that and you drink
one.

773
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,560
You're like, this is amazing.
And I still remember the way it

774
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:13,000
tasted in the resort that it was
at Desert Valet, Nevada and.

775
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:17,200
You were drinking there.
We went once cuz we thought they

776
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,600
didn't card.
We walk in, I'm 14 years old,

777
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,080
and we walk up and they're like,
are you 18?

778
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:23,600
And I was like, yes.
And they're like, all right,

779
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,640
cool.
And then all of our snowboard

780
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,520
counselors were there who were
like 25.

781
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,280
Yeah.
And it was funny as hell.

782
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,320
And then we hung out with them.
That was awesome.

783
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:32,880
Wow.
Yeah, I don't know.

784
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:33,760
That was great.
That's funny.

785
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,160
That was the first.
Time that I got blackout drunk.

786
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,320
Wow.
Yeah, yeah. 14 I was 15 so.

787
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,120
I got you I.
Know.

788
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,320
I think I was 14.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

789
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,160
When I went, when I went there.
That was, yeah.

790
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:47,720
You were young.
Good times.

791
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:49,240
I just took exposure to the
world.

792
00:38:49,240 --> 00:38:52,600
OK, so now we're back to me
dressing better.

793
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,200
Yeah.
When you got, when you started,

794
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:59,920
when you came back from the time
at which my mom took you to the

795
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:02,960
mall, that was excellent.
Have you done anything since

796
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:03,640
then?
I don't think so.

797
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,480
Right.
I have I've changed out things

798
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,480
that I don't like and I don't
keep things very long.

799
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,320
I mean, I bought a bunch of
custom shirts.

800
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,040
Some of them worked out.
Most of them I get got rid of.

801
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,880
I, I, when I visited you 4-5
years ago, we went and I bought,

802
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,840
I bought a bunch of Gucci shit
and that.

803
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:24,800
Oh yeah, I remember when you got
the.

804
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,040
Because I lost weight.
I lost a bunch of weight and I

805
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,360
was like, ah, and I mean the
natural thing when you look when

806
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,520
you like.
I was down to like 198 or

807
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,000
something.
I'm now 15.

808
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,800
You broke 200.
Yeah, we went only 9.

809
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,440
Way.
But I got, I bought, I didn't.

810
00:39:39,720 --> 00:39:41,840
Even know that.
And this is what all stupid fat

811
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:46,040
people do, is we lose 20 lbs and
then we think that we're going

812
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,880
to lose more.
So we buy clothes that are tight

813
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,920
thinking that they're going to
be, you know, that they're going

814
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,720
to get loose.
Unfortunately, we don't realize

815
00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:57,040
that our pig through mouth is
going to continue to eat more

816
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,320
and all those clothes are going
to be useless in about a week.

817
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,600
You know, so I had shirts where,
you know, you know, when you see

818
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,800
the buttons pull apart, you know
they're pulling apart and the

819
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,640
titties are hanging out, all
that kind of stuff.

820
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,560
And you're like, Oh my God.
And we?

821
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,560
Went to Tudor's Biscuit World
with Sean recently.

822
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:19,040
I did, and then I was wearing
these shorts and then I also

823
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:23,240
drank, I think about 1/2 gallon
of whiskey with his brother the

824
00:40:23,240 --> 00:40:27,200
day before we went to tutors.
And I sit down in the car after

825
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,600
we get out and then my button
literally snaps off and flies

826
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,280
off.
And I was like, Oh my God.

827
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:34,920
And that's what I you.
Did a Homer Simpson?

828
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,520
I literally did and he's and he
looks over like you're 1 fat

829
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:41,800
bastard.
So oh, it's God, I was.

830
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,400
So who's who's the fat bastard
the fat bastard's from?

831
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,920
That's yeah, the I can.
See him Mike.

832
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,680
Myers, oh, Mike Myers.
Austin.

833
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:52,440
Powers.
Austin Powers.

834
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:53,080
Yeah.
Oh good.

835
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,120
Oh, I love that guy, Jake.
'S you owe me a silence.

836
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,280
Especially when he gets the
little, you have that little

837
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,880
Turkey gullet like I have.
I I I don't like any of those

838
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,080
movies.
Not a fan.

839
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:06,000
Tell you can tell that that I'm
getting fatter when I get the

840
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,400
Turkey gullet because if I lose
a little bit of weight, my my,

841
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:10,960
my, my Turkey nut goes away
well.

842
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,960
Why do you think you gained 20
lbs back?

843
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,960
Who knew you were at 1:00?
100 Why were you?

844
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,160
At 198, I didn't even know you
ever broke 200.

845
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:23,080
That's great.
We did.

846
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,120
We did a lot of wasn't.
Jenny Craig wasn't.

847
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,400
It might have been it, but this
is like maybe 15.

848
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,560
Years.
Oh, that was 15 years ago, OK.

849
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,600
Yeah, that's not.
I thought you were talking like

850
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,760
2 years ago.
I would like to say two years

851
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,600
ago the best I've done in the
past two years of 2010 I did.

852
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,840
2000 I did 210 lbs.
That's pretty good.

853
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:43,360
I've gotten that.
I think I got to two O 9 or

854
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,120
something and I'm not doing
amphetamines that I'm not doing

855
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,120
with Govi.
And we got to do a lot of math.

856
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,240
That's what I've heard is a.
Well, I mean.

857
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,480
That's a lot of math.
But I mean, we used to do speed.

858
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,080
I did a lot of speedies just
after high school.

859
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,960
Yeah, that's just math.
Yeah, but you smoke that.

860
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:00,720
We just took it in pill form.
We.

861
00:42:00,720 --> 00:42:03,080
Parachute it, yeah, we took
black beauties.

862
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:07,320
We took parachuting it makes.
A crossed crystal.

863
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:09,800
You know what?
Parachuting it makes it last way

864
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:10,320
longer.
I.

865
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,280
Don't even know what that means.
That's when you swallow it in

866
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,960
pill form.
OK, it lasts. 3 * 4 times as

867
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,240
long imperatively, Yeah, well,
but.

868
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,200
When I used to, when I used to
work.

869
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:23,080
That's hence.
My name's Roger Ramjet.

870
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:24,920
Space cadet was.
Yeah, we.

871
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:26,800
Covered this in the the cartoon
episode.

872
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:27,840
Yeah.
We did.

873
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:31,400
I thought the stories were we
were supposed to cover and so

874
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:32,960
you wouldn't tell them again.
I thought that's what this.

875
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:34,600
I keep telling them again again
because I'm always.

876
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,440
You gotta stop telling.
You gotta stop doing that.

877
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,360
See, you know.
What would be really cool is we

878
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,760
could do a podcast on dementia
and I could just tell the same.

879
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,800
Story that's kind of what this
already is.

880
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,800
I'm not going to lie.
That's kind of what this Hardy

881
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:48,400
is is turning out to well.
No, when you think about

882
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,400
clothes, it's like clothes going
forward.

883
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:58,880
My closet now is probably 1/3
full, half half, let's say half

884
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,880
full.
I have a lot of things and, and

885
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,800
I mean, I have three suits.
I have a, a, a dead people suit,

886
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:10,080
a wedding suit and A and I have
two sports jackets.

887
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:16,320
I have 5 or 6 pair of slacks,
but I can wear slacks like I I

888
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:17,720
all.
But one of the things you

889
00:43:17,720 --> 00:43:20,800
pointed out is I stopped wearing
jeans in the last three years.

890
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:26,160
Why did you stop wearing jeans?
Because they don't they're

891
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,920
they're restrictive on my
stomach more than anything.

892
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,400
And that that it, it bothers me
because I have like ulcers and

893
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,000
holes and I have a hern, I mean,
just all sorts of shit.

894
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:40,520
And so when I wear like a more
of a if I wear sweats, I feel

895
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,240
wonderful, but if I don't but I
look like a pig.

896
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,880
So then instead of looking like
a pig, I can wear like nicer

897
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,080
dress.
Slacks with a belt is actually a

898
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,800
lot better and a lot looser on
my stomach than jeans are.

899
00:43:53,240 --> 00:43:56,640
Also, the only reason I need to
wear jeans is if I'm working in

900
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,880
the yard and I'm not working in
the yard that much.

901
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:05,240
You used to wear them in the
yard every day for 10 years.

902
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,600
Probably Well, see, the cool
thing about jeans is you just

903
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,440
drop down to your knees and you
start digging a hole and it

904
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,200
doesn't matter.
It doesn't bother me if you wear

905
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,520
anything else.
I mean, now I have the thing I

906
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,120
did is I got you'll love this.
I got knee pads.

907
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,720
That's so funny.
That's really, really fun.

908
00:44:18,720 --> 00:44:20,080
I.
Strap on knee pads.

909
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,240
You know, we can we, you can
make lots of jokes about.

910
00:44:22,240 --> 00:44:24,400
That you ever see the it's got.
The knee pads.

911
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,480
Oh yeah.
With the what is it?

912
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,640
It's like a wagon.
But you you ever see those

913
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,880
chairs?
You sit knees down 1st.

914
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:34,440
There's so many, there's you see
the?

915
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:35,800
Chairs that are good for your
spine.

916
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,200
It's kind of like that, the
wagon.

917
00:44:37,240 --> 00:44:38,680
And you sit like that on the
wagon.

918
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:43,240
Yeah, I'm going to get that for
you for your birthday here, and

919
00:44:43,240 --> 00:44:44,800
then I can tell you around while
you're sitting on it.

920
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,360
That'd be great.
Yeah.

921
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,720
What do you think about that?
So why don't we putting a koi

922
00:44:48,720 --> 00:44:50,840
pond or a water feature in the
backyard?

923
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:52,240
I was thinking.
That I don't know.

924
00:44:52,240 --> 00:44:53,680
I think we need to change your
clothes though.

925
00:44:53,720 --> 00:44:56,120
We still have a lot of clothes
here that you have to get rid

926
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,920
of.
Well, I just bought a bunch of

927
00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,960
new clothes.
Here, I'm going to pick up the.

928
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,480
You can pick up the camera.
Yeah, pick up.

929
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,360
I'm gonna say lair.
There we go.

930
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,320
Yeah, that's that's the stuff.
Oh, I forgot my squirrel

931
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,200
costume, man.
Yeah, you forgot your.

932
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,160
Shoes too.
I left my squirrel costume, damn

933
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,280
it.
Yeah.

934
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:14,760
So how many costumes do you
have?

935
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,200
Your squirrel costume, What
other else costumes you have?

936
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:20,400
Do you have the chicken 1, The
doughnut?

937
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,240
The doughnut?
What else did you?

938
00:45:23,240 --> 00:45:26,320
Were you a Penguin?
No, I don't have Penguins.

939
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,600
No, yeah, those didn't only
three full.

940
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,240
You were a pirate.
You were a you were a Viking.

941
00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:32,960
You.
Were I love.

942
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:36,360
The Viking one, your mother made
the big fur thing across and you

943
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,600
had the helmet that was amazing
and then you had painted a beard

944
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:40,960
on you and.
Your that was a great costume.

945
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,040
Well, I think everybody should
have an alias.

946
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:44,800
This year.
I'm actually going as a Papa

947
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,240
John's celebrity driver because
I found my Papa John's hat and I

948
00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:51,280
also found my Papa John's
T-shirt I like to wear.

949
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:52,520
So that's going to be me.
I'm going to be.

950
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:56,320
Are you going to have to do like
600 dabs to kick into my frame

951
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,400
of mind?
God I used to get so ripped at

952
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:02,120
work Oh my God I don't even know
how I like was able to sustain

953
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,920
that level of high all day.
I think that's so funny.

954
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,400
Well, it's also, if you think
about it, I smoked regularly

955
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:13,400
every day for about four years.
And at that time, like I'm

956
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,280
surprised.
Well, I had really bad

957
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:18,760
bronchitis every single year,
like every single year.

958
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,200
And then when I I.
Smoke a lot.

959
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:21,640
I can't figure out why I can't
breathe.

960
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:23,400
Well, I would.
Smoke through the bronchitis,

961
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,000
which I wouldn't recommend to
anybody because then I would

962
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:27,840
smoke and I would cough until I
threw up.

963
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,320
And now thinking about that now
I'm like, man, that's, that's

964
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,080
kind of silly.
It's kind of a silly thing to

965
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,520
do, kind of a dumb thing to do
if you think about it, but I

966
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,880
had.
Asthma, but not like that.

967
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,400
I had asthma in my teens and I
still smoke cigarettes and I

968
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:45,040
smoke cigarettes for 30 years.
What does asthma even feel like?

969
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,920
Because I don't think I have it.
It's when you have a

970
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,160
constriction in your throat when
you can't get.

971
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:56,720
When you can't get the air.
You could slowly feel it, slowly

972
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:58,360
feel it.
You can slowly feel it closing.

973
00:46:58,720 --> 00:47:02,160
And it is the most frightening
thing the first couple times you

974
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,080
have it because you feel like
somebody's.

975
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,160
When I did the scuba diving
thing and I ran out of air in

976
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:09,640
the middle of a tunnel, that's
what it feels like.

977
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:13,040
It feels like somebody is taking
your air gauge and they cut it

978
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:18,920
down by 1/4 by 1/3, by 50% and
you get down to about.

979
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:24,000
And the only way to make it
happy is to calm down and to sit

980
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,960
down and to not move and to just
totally relax.

981
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:32,120
I mean, I just it, I remember
being at home after I came and

982
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,120
is a bunch of asbestos at work,
I think.

983
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:35,800
And it might, might have been
part of the problem.

984
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:40,200
They were dumping permalite into
the block and it was the whole

985
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:43,280
air was like a white dust.
And I remember I got that in my

986
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:49,640
lungs and I was just like that.
That's how I was breathing, you

987
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:51,680
know, and I'm at home and, and
when you can't get enough

988
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:57,160
oxygen, you get your, your heart
rates being faster, you become

989
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,680
scared.
And when you're scared, you, you

990
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,200
want to run and do something,
you want to hit something.

991
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,480
Anybody talks to you, you want
to, you know, you, you, you

992
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,640
freak out, but you have, but
what you're supposed to do is do

993
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:13,200
exactly the opposite.
And I know that you need the

994
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,520
Vansaril or what the hell is it?
There's a bunch of different

995
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,600
drugs that you take.
I ended up getting Vansaril and

996
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:22,720
another not propofol.
That's a good one.

997
00:48:22,720 --> 00:48:26,640
Have that too.
That's pretty good and but that

998
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:31,000
would release the passages and
so almost like within 10

999
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,760
seconds, but but that living
through that one, I had a.

1000
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:38,280
Mysterious illness 2 years ago.
The first three times when you

1001
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:40,680
can't breathe and someone's
cutting the oxygen off and you

1002
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:43,960
can't do anything about it, you
feel like that you're, you're

1003
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:45,720
losing it.
You're just, you know, this is

1004
00:48:45,720 --> 00:48:49,400
it.
And when someone is taking the

1005
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,600
oxygen away and not right away,
that's kind of the kill.

1006
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:53,800
You know, someone just cut it
off.

1007
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,400
You're like, I'm dead now.
But when they cut it off to

1008
00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:00,000
like, you're down to 2/3 and
then you're down to like

1009
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,440
breathing through a straw.
Let's I imagine peanut allergy

1010
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,200
kind of feels right.
I don't know.

1011
00:49:06,240 --> 00:49:08,160
Yeah, I'm I'm sure it's the same
thing.

1012
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,920
Peanut allergy not.
The same I don't, I don't have

1013
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:12,680
peanut allergies.
I can't say that.

1014
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:15,880
Remember that when everybody had
peanut allergies and now nobody

1015
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:17,080
does.
What happened to that?

1016
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,200
That was kind of weird.
Well, we're not that.

1017
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,880
We're not in school anymore, so
we don't see everybody sitting

1018
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:23,520
at the no peanut table.
So we don't really.

1019
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:28,240
Know I remember they were like
oh so and so can die of a peanut

1020
00:49:28,240 --> 00:49:29,360
and I'm like that's.
Crazy.

1021
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:33,160
Yeah, I when I thought about
that, I was just like, I it for

1022
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:37,800
me, it's like, it's
unbelievable, you know?

1023
00:49:38,240 --> 00:49:39,920
I guess it's true.
Well, I mean, everything's

1024
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:41,720
unbelievable, but it's true.
See that happen, right?

1025
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:43,400
Yeah.
I mean, that's.

1026
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,800
That's the whole thing.
It's like we've all got these

1027
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,680
things that.
Peanut allergies increase Yes,

1028
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,000
peanut has significantly
increased, particularly in the

1029
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,120
past past few decades.
In the United States, the number

1030
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,360
of children with peanut
allergies have more than tripled

1031
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,920
between 297 and 2008.
The.

1032
00:49:59,920 --> 00:50:01,240
Problem when I was in school
though.

1033
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,480
The prevalence of peanutologists
has tripled the US over the last

1034
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:06,840
20 years, and studies show
similar increases.

1035
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,200
Several factors are contributed
to this rise.

1036
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,560
But that's only the twenty O 8.
That's yeah, yeah.

1037
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:15,440
I want to see 2025.
Well, this is the thing when you

1038
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,920
do a Google search now and they
do the, they do, they do the

1039
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,120
artificial intelligence.
The AI in the top, I kind of

1040
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:21,480
like that though, I'm not going
to lie.

1041
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,400
I do too.
It's a really good summary.

1042
00:50:23,720 --> 00:50:25,560
Yeah, no, it's always an
excellent summary.

1043
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,400
Well I answers my question, why
was there?

1044
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:32,320
Spike.
So that's interesting 2000 today

1045
00:50:32,720 --> 00:50:35,800
today we'll cover why now
outdated recommendations to

1046
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:39,240
delay peanut 92,008 the rate of
Highwood.

1047
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,960
I'm looking, you know, let's get
to like the teens.

1048
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:47,440
What happened?
Is it more peanut?

1049
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,560
I introduced peanut early for
peanut allergy prevention.

1050
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:57,520
Landmark study, five years sleep
study, 3% of the children new

1051
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:03,000
guides now baby to peanuts as
early as four to six months.

1052
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,800
OK, Well, they don't see, they
don't give you stats to see if

1053
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,280
it's lower or higher, but it
says it was a spike.

1054
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:19,120
Oh, OK. 2017 study reported the
peanut allergy in children had

1055
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:24,640
increased 21% since 2010 and
that nearly two, 2.5% of you as

1056
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:28,800
children may have allergy.
Why are they on the rise?

1057
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:31,560
Well, they've been on the rise
since the 90s.

1058
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:36,240
So this is for a long time white
paper on peanut allergy.

1059
00:51:36,240 --> 00:51:40,120
The prevalence of peanut allergy
33.5 fold over the past two

1060
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:43,880
decades reached 2% in Europe and
the United States.

1061
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:47,920
Not just US, it's it's Europe as
well. 2% though in Europe.

1062
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:52,000
Why is the world becoming more
allergic to food?

1063
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,680
You know, because.
We're making up these weird

1064
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,480
chemicals.
They're, you know, I mean, weird

1065
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,440
and stuff.
Are we?

1066
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,200
Yeah, we are.
High fructose corn syrup.

1067
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:02,920
Yeah.
What are you?

1068
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:03,840
What about that?
Yeah.

1069
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,440
But are we also there's there's
a whole lot of other things that

1070
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,720
we don't pay attention to.
Like what?

1071
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:16,080
Well, I mean, diet, we've got a
whole lot more poor people that

1072
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:20,000
can't afford to eat apple.
I mean, even when I was a kid,

1073
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,960
we always had some vegetable or
some fruit or something.

1074
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:29,000
Well, it's like every fruit
today is about 1/4 as.

1075
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,160
Nutritious as the food was in
1930.

1076
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:34,280
Right.
So it's like, so we should we,

1077
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:38,280
we can't only say that oh, it's
because of this, it's the food

1078
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:44,080
is less nutritious.
So maybe it's because we as

1079
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,280
parents have been purchasing
things that are less nutritious

1080
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:50,960
because they're cheaper or
because they're easier or you

1081
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,160
know, I mean, think about.
This for a second.

1082
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:58,920
You have to eat probably 2/3
more food than you would

1083
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:01,200
otherwise to get the same
nutritional value as what you

1084
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,880
would need to eat in 1930.
But those calories still exist,

1085
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,040
right?
And to get the same nutritious

1086
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:10,920
value, that's why you have such
a high caloric surplus.

1087
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,440
And I think that that is why we
have so many fat people in the

1088
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,200
world.
And also that, that for years

1089
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:21,960
and years and years, companies
that make things, they want

1090
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,640
candy bars to be as addictive as
cigarettes.

1091
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,520
They want, you want the bread
that I make.

1092
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:30,560
I want to be as addictive as
cigarettes.

1093
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:33,520
Because if you need to eat it
all the time, I can.

1094
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,360
My profit will grow up
dramatically.

1095
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,160
It has no difference to what the
health is.

1096
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:41,520
As long as the FDA says that if
you eat my bread, you won't die,

1097
00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:45,760
I'm cool.
But I think that there's I don't

1098
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,560
know if there ever was like
corporate sense of

1099
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:53,960
responsibility for what they do.
I see, I don't think they do.

1100
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,960
I think that they're they're
they're driven by a profit

1101
00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:00,200
motive for their shareholders.
And that if they don't do that,

1102
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:06,040
that I mean, case in point,
United, everybody knows United

1103
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:09,080
Health, right?
The guy CEO that got blown away

1104
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:13,960
by Luigi, our hero, that guy
when he got, he raised the

1105
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:18,280
profits dramatically in the
company by algorithms and by

1106
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,200
just, and not doing anything and
not letting people.

1107
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:23,680
And so he made a lot more money
for the company.

1108
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,440
It was the biggest company and
made the most money.

1109
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:29,800
Well, he got murdered and then
everybody, United Health said,

1110
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,680
hey, we should start approving
everything.

1111
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:37,000
So they started approving a lot
more procedures.

1112
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:41,080
Do you know that they have a
shareholder suit against them

1113
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,200
for approving too much?
Oh wow.

1114
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:47,000
Think about that.
I want the profit.

1115
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,560
I don't give a shit if little
Hepzibar dies.

1116
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:54,600
I mean, I, I I just like.
It's pretty crazy.

1117
00:54:55,160 --> 00:55:00,480
Well no, I mean fiduciary duty
requires you as the CEO to first

1118
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,120
and foremost is to the
shareholders.

1119
00:55:03,240 --> 00:55:07,240
But you could, you could really
argue the point that if you have

1120
00:55:07,240 --> 00:55:11,760
a happy population, that short
term profitability is stupid.

1121
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:15,280
And, and I think that that we
have to get back to that because

1122
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,320
there, there used to be
companies that I thought, I

1123
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:18,360
mean, there are a lot of
companies.

1124
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:22,240
Southwest used to be that way
when that old guy, the old chain

1125
00:55:22,240 --> 00:55:26,880
smoking guy had invented it was,
it was all about if we do, if we

1126
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:29,040
do, if we do a really good
product and do really good

1127
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:31,320
service, we'll get well.
And Costco's that way today.

1128
00:55:32,720 --> 00:55:35,560
That's the last one I think
ever.

1129
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:37,840
That's the one that everybody
publicly talks about, but

1130
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:41,560
remember that there's 10 times
as many small businesses that do

1131
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:43,480
the right.
Steel chainsaws seems pretty

1132
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:44,200
good.
I don't know.

1133
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:45,960
Yeah, yeah, they seem to be
there.

1134
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:46,960
There's.
There's there's a.

1135
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:50,000
So if there's all these
companies out there, why haven't

1136
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:51,800
you solidified as a sponsor deal
yet?

1137
00:55:52,240 --> 00:55:55,120
That's my question.
Because I'm the talent.

1138
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,600
I'm I'm not the.
No, no, you've been appointed.

1139
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:00,120
I'm not business development,
I'm not business development

1140
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,080
assistant producer.
You're Business Development

1141
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:05,040
Assistant Producer and you now
are the have.

1142
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:06,680
You got me any new clothes
lately?

1143
00:56:06,720 --> 00:56:08,880
I don't think so.
You are the acting CEO.

1144
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:10,400
Remember that Chimichanga I got
you.

1145
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:12,800
Remember that.
OK, you didn't get me a.

1146
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:14,000
Chimichanga, all gifts are
forgotten.

1147
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:18,760
I've rangos, it's really good.
Rango shout out Rangos shout out

1148
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,520
Rango rangos, we love you.
What about?

1149
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,600
What about I took you?
Where did I take you?

1150
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:26,880
Other side of the Earth in West
Virginia.

1151
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:30,400
Antarctica, no tutors.
We did go to tutors.

1152
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:32,080
We went to that would be a
great.

1153
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:35,440
Sponsor, we could do that.
Yeah, well, I would think that

1154
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,240
the the what about the pizza 1?
I just saw your.

1155
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:40,640
Shirts.
Yeah, yeah, the T-shirts I think

1156
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:42,800
came in, but he's been there.
Every time he's been there.

1157
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,120
She's not there.
So OK, I think, but he got his

1158
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:47,480
you.
Have a bunch on your bed?

1159
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:48,800
You have a bunch on your bed?
What?

1160
00:56:49,720 --> 00:56:51,440
Do you mean?
You have T-shirts.

1161
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:55,080
Like piece of T-shirts with his
picture.

1162
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,480
Oh, yeah.
Those are for Sean and Seth.

1163
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:58,600
Yeah.
Those are OK.

1164
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:00,440
Those are mine.
OK cool.

1165
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:01,760
Yeah, I ordered those like 2
years ago.

1166
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:03,200
A year ago, Yeah.
Wow.

1167
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:05,920
These last two years have felt
like 10 years.

1168
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:06,920
Have you?
Did you know?

1169
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:08,680
Have you noticed that?
Yeah, these.

1170
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:11,080
Well, this one's really, really
slow.

1171
00:57:11,240 --> 00:57:17,120
And 25 actually feel like 20
years of my life like Oh my God,

1172
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:18,280
these.
A lot of you're going through

1173
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:21,280
it, you're going through a it's
a monumental change because

1174
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:23,320
you're deciding what you really
want to do with your life.

1175
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,880
And then, you know, you're
still, you know, you were into

1176
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:27,600
acting and now you're like, fuck
that.

1177
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:29,520
I I don't want to be a dog, you
know?

1178
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:31,080
Being a dog sucks.
I want to do this.

1179
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:34,160
I want to be the person who
tells the dog what to do, you

1180
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:35,560
know?
You know.

1181
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:38,800
Being, yeah, and actually having
stuff that gets made is really

1182
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:42,880
great.
But at the same time, yeah,

1183
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:45,080
there's still one act last.
Two years I think you'd still do

1184
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:46,320
acting.
I think so.

1185
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:51,120
I think that well.
I am going to go.

1186
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:54,000
I haven't been accepted.
We'll see if if I go to Stanford

1187
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:56,280
executive business.
School.

1188
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:58,080
I hope so.
I hope you get in.

1189
00:57:58,480 --> 00:57:59,600
Yeah, me too.
It's.

1190
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:01,560
About I know I could get in
because I have really good

1191
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:04,360
grades and really smart.
But you didn't go to a really

1192
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,000
good school though I did.
I went to I went to a really

1193
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:07,600
good school too.
I.

1194
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:13,240
Went to Nova, Nova Nova and ODI.
Want to get some merchandise

1195
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,120
from them?
Some Nighthawks merchandise.

1196
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:17,520
We should get matching sweaters.
That'd be sick.

1197
00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:20,360
I love that we could all get 3
matching sweaters.

1198
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:21,840
Maybe for Christmas.
That's not like I wanted

1199
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:23,840
Woodbridge campus because we all
went.

1200
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:27,360
There and and she could be the.
We have a legacy.

1201
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:28,680
Of Noah.
She's an Andelay.

1202
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,080
I went to an Andelay.
That's where I went too.

1203
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:33,280
You went to an Andelay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1204
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:35,960
I love that because it was
Annandale and they had a grease

1205
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:37,680
man guy that called it an
Andelay.

1206
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:42,520
There was a guy that shot up the
Woodbridge campus, and I

1207
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:45,840
remember when we were in class,
my Art 100 teacher said, well,

1208
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:47,360
it couldn't be us, we're not
Cavemen.

1209
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:50,880
And then I was like, wow.
I was like, Oh my God.

1210
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,840
The good old days.
That was after an active

1211
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:55,880
shooting.
And I was like, I hitchhiked

1212
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,000
there for, my God, almost two
years.

1213
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:00,000
That's a That's a lot of
hitchhiking.

1214
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:01,160
Wow.
Yeah, a lot.

1215
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:02,520
Lot.
Lot what?

1216
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:04,920
Time here by the way.
Oh yeah, we're over.

1217
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:06,720
We're, we're right at an hour,
man.

1218
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:08,360
So we, we're good.
We're good.

1219
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,880
We should, we should wrap it up
and talk about, I mean, we can

1220
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:13,200
talk about underwear on the next
one.

1221
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:14,840
