Episode 132: Special Events

1
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,120
Welcome back to a Record of My
Father's Day.

2
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:14,440
We're going to be talking about
anniversaries.

3
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,720
I have an anniversary coming up,
the 26th, one year with my

4
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,680
girlfriend.
Crazy, crazy how time flies, you

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,080
know?
Oh my God, I've been thinking

6
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:25,720
about that a lot recently.
One year.

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,000
One year.
Oh my gosh.

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,800
One year, indeed.
I think it's relative time too.

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,280
When you're a kid, days feel
like they're forever 'cause I

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,120
mean, one day a part of three
years of your life is a long

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,440
time, but now a year of your
life is such a minute basis for

12
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,760
do you?
Do you?

13
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:51,120
Think that at your age, I don't
think I dated anybody longer

14
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,400
than three or four months.
Yeah.

15
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,880
And when I started to date
people at a longer time, that's

16
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,120
when it got serious to me.
A year would have been.

17
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,000
Well, I've been doing that
forever.

18
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,200
You know, like I've been doing.
Yeah, you've always been a long

19
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,560
dater.
I I date.

20
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,160
Serial monogamist.
Yeah, yeah.

21
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,840
Yeah, weirdo, you know.
I just can't help that I'm so

22
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,480
lovable, you know, and perfect
in every way I.

23
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:17,840
Think that's really.
What it's about?

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:24,200
20 until 27, I didn't date
anybody longer than three

25
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:30,400
months, four months maybe, you
know, and that was even like one

26
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,240
night stand, whatever, you know,
they were maybe meet them again,

27
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,280
maybe not The, the, the, the, so
the anniversaries were not

28
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,600
there.
You know, Speaking of that, we

29
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,600
just had our 35th anniversary.
That's crazy.

30
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,360
On October 6th, Oh my gosh,
that's wow.

31
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,480
Like the important dates that
you have to remember 35, you

32
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,000
know?
Long, long time.

33
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,120
What are your?
That shows like an act.

34
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,960
Go ahead.
Remember for us, for your or her

35
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,440
50th birthday.
I remember you did a crazy

36
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,759
blowout.
Remember that?

37
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:12,720
I remember that.
I did it for her 40th and I did

38
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,480
it for her 50th.
I did each one and then that at

39
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,200
the 50th she said I don't do
this anymore, please.

40
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,400
And I said, OK, I, I mean, I
rented a tent, put it up the

41
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,520
front yard that would seat about
150 people.

42
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,400
I invited everybody and his
mother, I think people.

43
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,240
Wasn't.
Maybe 100, maybe just every

44
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,800
relative.
Everyone said come over, we're

45
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,720
doing a surprise for she was at
a class all day.

46
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,520
She shows up at 3:00 in the
afternoon.

47
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,720
We had a harps harpist.
We had.

48
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:51,720
We had a tarot card reader, we
had a juggler, a walk around

49
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,400
clown guy.
We had.

50
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,160
I I, I think I had, yeah, the
harpist did I have.

51
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:58,920
A magician.
Magician.

52
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:00,440
Yeah, I had a Magician A.
Magician.

53
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,720
He was cool.
I was just like, whoa, you know,

54
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,960
what's that place that, what's
that place that you registered

55
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,680
at to get acting gigs?
Backstage.com.

56
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,520
That's exactly where I found
them all.

57
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,520
Yeah, that's where you find a
lot of performers like that.

58
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,800
You want a short term performer
to go there and and they were

59
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,440
wonderful, you know, and it was
funny when she pulled up and she

60
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,120
had bought bacon.
So she I meet her at the top of

61
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,920
the thing and I have hired
someone to park cars.

62
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,880
OK, in the May I help you.
And she gets out.

63
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,160
She's like what?
She's driving a Prius.

64
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,320
I think she's holding the bacon.
And she goes, what did you do?

65
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,960
What do you mean, what did I do?
She goes, I knew you were doing

66
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,440
something, I just didn't know.
And she steps to the top of our

67
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,120
driveway and looks down into the
yard and sees the tent and goes

68
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,520
like, oh, my God.
And she's been sweating and

69
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,120
working and making this pottery
stuff all day.

70
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,160
So she's kind of grungy.
And everybody there is like

71
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:08,280
ready for the party.
And but I had, you know, food

72
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,440
catered everything.
It was, it was, it was

73
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,320
ridiculous.
You know, it was just one of

74
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,360
those ridiculous things.
Do you remember?

75
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,240
What the food was.
Yeah, I remember I could

76
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,240
actually drive to the caterer's
office.

77
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,800
It's over off of Glebe Rd. like
South Glebe there.

78
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,280
I went to it.
It was really good.

79
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:33,440
I remember the The funny thing I
remember that was the strangest

80
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:38,040
was one of the servers because
we had two servers, right?

81
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,920
I mean, I just did nuts and they
said, they asked me.

82
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:48,680
They said something about, oh,
are you going to tip at the end?

83
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,640
Interesting.
And I'm like, Oh yeah, I, I

84
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,440
tipped the lady and goes, we
don't see any of that.

85
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,640
Sounds familiar?
Sounds familiar in my line of

86
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,880
work at Papa John's, Very, very
similar.

87
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,800
Where?
You tip the manager and the

88
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,600
manager says, Oh yeah, I'll take
care of everybody.

89
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,200
And he said, I've been working
here for three years and I've

90
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:21,920
never seen a dime coming down.
And I was like, oh, thanks.

91
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:26,480
So at that point, I didn't tip
the management.

92
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,640
I took off what I was, I cut it
in half or thirds.

93
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,720
And I had cash.
I mean, I had probably a couple

94
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,160
grand on me and $100 bills and
went around and I just tipped

95
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,800
every staff member and said
great job, thank you.

96
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,560
And they were like looking at me
with the crazy eyes and stuff.

97
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,440
And that, that's why I remember.
It's funny that that would stick

98
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:52,440
out that and.
I think that that was a very

99
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,000
formulative part of your current
tipping agenda, yeah.

100
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,840
We'll see that and he'll do the
same thing.

101
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,800
You know, when the guy comes up
to deliver a burger that and a

102
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,320
beer that cost $32 and you know,
it's got an 18% gratuity and a

103
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,840
5% delivery charge and he goes
and I don't put any additional

104
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:13,560
tip on it.
So he figured, well, hey, I'm

105
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:19,160
paying 30 months for a burger
and a beer or 32 and he goes, I

106
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,560
don't get anything.
And I'm like what I said, well,

107
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:24,840
what about that?
He goes, I don't get that.

108
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:27,160
I don't get that.
We don't, we don't see anything

109
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,200
from anything you write on that
paper.

110
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,920
And also I, I did find out that
Hilton was later sued as well as

111
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,240
I think Marriott was sued
because they kept all that

112
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,320
money.
They do not distribute that to

113
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,160
the help at all.
Anyway, it just, it makes you

114
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,240
realize and that's when I'm to,
I, I paper tip now, I do not, I

115
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,080
don't, I give people cash
always.

116
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,760
I do not charge it on a card
because I see that they don't

117
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,880
get it unfortunately.
Or they get a handling fee

118
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,480
associated with it or they get a
processing fee associated with

119
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,880
it.
Oh, well, it's, it's 3% for the

120
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,800
Amex card and it's 7% for the
Amex card.

121
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,840
So we take that off your tip and
then you know, and then we have

122
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:11,320
to process it because that takes
man hours and and accounting.

123
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:12,520
Resources.
So then.

124
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:17,000
We we take 20% and you're like,
no.

125
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,680
That's just crazy town.
That just reminds me of when I

126
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,080
would get this either school
order or party order.

127
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,400
Yeah.
And you'd get like $5060 tip

128
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,440
because it's a $300 order.
Yeah.

129
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:35,000
And the the line manager or the
shift leader, sorry, wants a tip

130
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,480
or wants half your tip.
And you just got to tell them

131
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,120
to, to go screw themselves.
You know, you just got to say

132
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,280
that either they're salaried.
They're salaried people, right?

133
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:46,760
You.
Yeah.

134
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,840
I was like, this is crazy.
I remember fighting with this

135
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:49,360
woman.
Yeah.

136
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,280
She was like 55 or something.
I'm like, you should have got a

137
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,040
better job when you were
younger.

138
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,480
You should have aspired to be
more instead of trying to bribe

139
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,880
an 18 year old into giving him
he.

140
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,480
Was making $0.50 an hour. $2.30
an hour while driving and then

141
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,320
$7.25 in store.
It was still 725 at that time.

142
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,600
And it's like, yeah, there's a
certain type of malevolence.

143
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,640
I think an organization would
suit as well.

144
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,880
Yep, they were.
I I actually just got a thing

145
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,720
the other day that says send us
your information, we'll give you

146
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,080
some money from the class action
lawsuit.

147
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,600
You should you might get, you
might get cash, might not.

148
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,440
I mean, usually they make it so
arduous, pain in the ass and

149
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,960
they give you, they give you
coupons for the pizza.

150
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,159
George had to do it with Jewel
for like like 4 years.

151
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,640
He had to constantly keep
sending information and then he

152
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,120
get he ended up getting like 6
or 7 grand out of it.

153
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,840
I think he might have even been
10.

154
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,640
He was crazy.
Wow, that's kind of cool.

155
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,160
That's actually that's that's
actually makes it worth it.

156
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,880
I mean, there's so many that at
the end that they give you a

157
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,880
coupon for their new thing that
they're selling.

158
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,080
Oh, 100% yeah.
You know, we're going to give

159
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,320
$100 million back to people and
it's going to be in the things

160
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,360
of 10% off coupons for shit that
they buy.

161
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,800
It's like that's, that's, that's
not a reward.

162
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,520
Discounts on jewel pods, that's
what we're going to do.

163
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,960
Right.
It's, it's silly stuff.

164
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,440
And this is how we get, we get
into this.

165
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,200
We talk about anniversaries and
stuff and special occasions.

166
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,480
You think about special
occasions.

167
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,920
I don't know if we've ever
talked about Valentine's Day.

168
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:21,480
Yeah, I haven't really have.
I really never done anything.

169
00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:22,960
I don't really know if I've ever
done it.

170
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,640
I think anybody that I was
dating at that time, I think we

171
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,840
just did a present or something
like that, something like that,

172
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:35,000
you know?
We did until our 5th, 4th, 4th,

173
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,040
5th, 6th anniversary of
Valentine's Day and I remember

174
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:42,640
she was still working at SNC.
Sullivan Cromwell.

175
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,560
Sort of been 92 or 93.
We've been married for a few

176
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:49,880
years and and I was always over
the top on Valentine's Day.

177
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,680
Hey, I'm going to get you a
coffee maker.

178
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:55,640
Or, you know, whatever the hell.
Over the top is a coffee maker I

179
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,480
like.
That no cappuccino maker, dude.

180
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,480
Oh.
Yeah, like 250 or something.

181
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,760
So free, you know, you could
have romantic coffees and all

182
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,080
that kind of silly stuff and and
then buy some mocha and it was

183
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,320
her favorite.
So it was, it wasn't about the

184
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,120
coffee maker.
It was about she expressed

185
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,800
interest in loving this type of
cappuccino.

186
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,560
So I've said I'll make it happen
and I'll make it happen on

187
00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:19,800
Valentine's Day.
But that's not the point.

188
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,480
The point is, is that I did
that.

189
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:26,080
And then I remember her telling
me that we're going to agree

190
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,240
that we're going to do nothing
for Valent this next Valentine's

191
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,280
Day because she was all about,
you know, it's corporate, it's

192
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,080
push.
It's that.

193
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,400
And it's like, yeah, OK, we'll
do nothing.

194
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,040
No, it's easy for me to do
nothing.

195
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:42,080
I have to think about it.
Not so I'm driving home to South

196
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,000
Barton St.
This we, we lived this before we

197
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:51,600
got our house at Pomeroy Drive
And I drive home, I drive in and

198
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,360
she's there and she has a card
and a little box of chocolates

199
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,760
and I'm like, didn't know what
to do.

200
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,280
I, I just like and she just
looks at me and smiles and I

201
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,320
open it up.
I love you, I love you, blah,

202
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,600
blah, blah.
And I'm looking at I said, but

203
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,480
I, but I thought you, I thought
you said, I just said we weren't

204
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,400
doing anything.
And she goes, well, I didn't

205
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:24,560
mean nothing, OK.
And, and I was like, oh, I'm

206
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:25,240
sorry.
I forgot.

207
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,680
And I jumped down, went and
jumped in the car.

208
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,600
I drove down Columbia Pike and I
came across this guy that was

209
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:36,440
selling roses on the side, the
long stem roses, for like $5 a

210
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,480
piece.
He raped me.

211
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,000
I mean, I bought three of them
because that's all he had.

212
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,480
I couldn't.
There was nowhere else.

213
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,040
Nobody had anything.
And I took those back and I got

214
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,560
a card from, I think 711.
I wrote something in it, you

215
00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:54,200
know, love you.
And it was like, I forgot what

216
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,840
it was.
It was like a Hello Kitty thing

217
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,440
or something really stupid.
But it was all I could find

218
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,320
because everything was gone, you
know?

219
00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:03,120
And I took it back and gave it
to her.

220
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:07,640
And she knew that I had just
done it because of what she just

221
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,600
gave me.
And so she was bothered by that,

222
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,240
that I wouldn't have gotten
anything when she said don't do

223
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,400
anything.
I almost feel like if you didn't

224
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,840
get anything, it would have been
better to just sit in it, you

225
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,880
know, to just sit in that
uncomfortable nature.

226
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,400
It.
It it like it?

227
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,680
Really is an interesting it
might have been.

228
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:32,280
It might have been, but then I
realized that certain things

229
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,040
that, you know, when you're
married, your, your, your, your

230
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,040
significant other lover,
whatever you call or, or him,

231
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,080
whatever, you have to learn how
to read them.

232
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:49,200
And then I and then so from then
on, I have never, ever not send

233
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,040
flowers.
And she will always say, but I

234
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,720
don't want anything.
And I said, OK, you're just

235
00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:02,160
going to get flowers Then.
I mean, I might send a best

236
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,720
basket of fruit or something
like that or a bear or

237
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,680
something.
But you know, I'm, I'm, I'm in

238
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:08,400
for the hall.
I mean, till she's dead,

239
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,840
Valentine's Day is covered
every.

240
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaking of which, what day in
February is Valentine's Day?

241
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,480
February 14th, 14th.
Oh OK gotcha.

242
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,760
OK, so before.
So that makes me think I need to

243
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,560
order something now.
Yeah, two days before we go, you

244
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:25,080
should probably just have it
delivered to her apartment.

245
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,120
That's what I always do, yeah.
Well, the only problem with that

246
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,600
is you got to make sure she's
home.

247
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,280
That's the thing.
And cause what?

248
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,760
Day is the 14th.
It's gonna be Sunday.

249
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,520
How do you know that?
Because.

250
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,080
We're leaving on It's Saturday.
I'm sorry.

251
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,200
Yep, Saturday.
You're right.

252
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,320
Yep, because Mondays.
Mondays are fly, right?

253
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,160
So it's a Saturday if she's
going to be home 16th.

254
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,680
Monday, yeah, yeah, Get.
I I would just call.

255
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,920
I would order flowers online for
I'm going to do it now.

256
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,400
I do like lawn.
Florist or 188 florist and it

257
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,720
doesn't really matter how much
it's just the idea that you

258
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,440
thought enough about your person
that you care you know, and

259
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,000
that's it you just got to show
well, especially.

260
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,520
Since I'm doing something so
selfish that it's Mardi Gras,

261
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,440
that I think that it's good to.
Yeah, do that, yeah.

262
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,680
Yeah, you got to be.
Good the couple days before

263
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,720
don't leave shit no.
We're not shits.

264
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,960
It's just a matter of, you know,
it's just, you know, you've got

265
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,560
to remember to think of other
people.

266
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,600
And we do that all the time.
You know, that's what, when it

267
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,040
comes down to anniversaries,
that's what it's about.

268
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,800
It's about when was the special
occasion that happened or a

269
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,480
horrible thing that happened.
You know, I don't really

270
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:40,600
celebrate people's deaths.
Seems weird dia de Los.

271
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,280
Muertos, yeah.
No, I don't do that.

272
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,080
I'm not.
That's not my thing.

273
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,760
I don't.
I don't understand.

274
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,600
The let's go to the gravesite
and dance on it or something.

275
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:51,840
I don't.
Yeah, that hasn't seemed.

276
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,000
To be a good thing for me,
either I'm I do think a.

277
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,600
Funeral in Western culture
should be a little happier.

278
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,680
I do think that it's very sad
and the way that Dia de Las

279
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,120
Muertos works, it's a
celebration of the dead, and I

280
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,840
feel like it should be more like
that.

281
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,200
You know, I don't know 'cause
you don't really know where

282
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,640
they're going.
After all, you don't really know

283
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,520
what they're doing when we.
Went to Guatemala, wasn't that

284
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,720
like a couple days after that we
saw a funeral.

285
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,640
We saw a funeral there and then
we also saw a drug bust at the

286
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,280
same time we saw a funeral and
that was pretty crazy in the

287
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,440
park.
Yeah, Yep, I got.

288
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,760
I got video, Yeah.
They looked up at me with their

289
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,520
automatic weapons and I realized
that's stupid.

290
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,960
Stop the video, Mr. Brown.
You will die.

291
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,240
Yeah, we were.
Up on top of a bar.

292
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,520
What's Queens and?
Alto I don't.

293
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,360
Even I'm not even trying to
pronounce it 'cause I can't

294
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,040
remember what's an Alto.
What's an Alto?

295
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,000
Yeah.
That was so cool.

296
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,840
That was a great trip.
I got to do that again.

297
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,760
We got to do not that I I wanted
to.

298
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,680
I'm I'm I'm.
I don't need to go to.

299
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,840
Central America anymore.
I just don't need to.

300
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,920
I don't really want to, that's
why.

301
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:58,760
But.
That's what.

302
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,120
What country is that?
Argentina.

303
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,520
I'm going on the Argentina side.
That's not Central America.

304
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,800
That's South America and then?
Uruguay.

305
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,000
Where's that?
That's South America as well.

306
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,320
Right, right.
So that's central.

307
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,480
Yeah, yeah.
OK.

308
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,400
Yeah, after Guatemala.
Like you can't go outside at

309
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,520
night.
And it's like, I don't, I don't

310
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,520
really want to do that anymore.
Costa Rica's.

311
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,000
Barely safe, but up in there,
well that's the safest 1.

312
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,320
I think is that's I've been
there 3 or 4.

313
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,160
Times Expat.
That's number one for expats,

314
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,200
you know, but El Salvador, El
Salvador's actually getting

315
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:30,600
better.
It's from whatever, but we.

316
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,440
Remember, we walked all around
there.

317
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,280
Where?
Where was that we were when keto

318
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,360
Ecuador.
That's South America.

319
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,080
Yeah, that's that's Ecuador.
No, that's not S that's central.

320
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:45,080
Oh yeah, you're.
Right.

321
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:45,600
You're right.
It is.

322
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,040
He didn't.
What did what did, what did

323
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,560
Carlos call it?
He's like you.

324
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,640
Should not have been doing that
yeah, when we.

325
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,280
Walked out by ourselves and we
walked around all day.

326
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:55,640
I think that.
It was fine.

327
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,280
We were the.
Only white people?

328
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,120
What?
Yeah, there was a couple.

329
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,440
Others there's, I think like 3
on the waterfront, yeah.

330
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,400
Yeah, I, I.
Think as long as you're not

331
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,200
walking around a dark Yeah,
they.

332
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:10,839
Wanted us in fear, but he.
Also saw us in the most drunken

333
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:17,520
stupor that he probably has ever
seen anybody in, and I remember

334
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,880
that and he might have thought
that we were doing that during

335
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:20,960
the day or something.
Yeah.

336
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,280
So we were at.
That point.

337
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,599
In, Yeah, you shouldn't be doing
that, right?

338
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,960
Yeah.
Not until we get to Are we going

339
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,320
Mardi Gras?
Yeah.

340
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,840
We got to do an.
Episode on that Oh my God, on

341
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,120
the 16th yeah, that's.
Going to be great.

342
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:38,640
I've been wanting to go wow for
like 7 or 8 years at this point.

343
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,320
I added it to.
My bucket list like 9 days ago.

344
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:47,640
9 days ago.
I've been to New Orleans 234 or

345
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,160
five times, maybe 6, I don't
know.

346
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:51,960
And, but mostly for shows and
stuff.

347
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,280
And I've done the, you know,
American Association of Law

348
00:17:55,280 --> 00:18:00,320
Librarians was there.
I remember going to a show and

349
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:05,440
drinking, going out with the
librarians and going to Pat

350
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,760
O'Brien's and drinking
hurricanes.

351
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,680
And we I remember the
Hurricanes.

352
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,400
Yeah, and they said.
You know, and I was already in

353
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,040
the bag when we went in there
and they said, well, you don't

354
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,200
drink more than two and I had
four.

355
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,200
And so it's like a mistake to
the worst thing you can do with

356
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,880
me when I'm drunk is to
challenge me to drinking.

357
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,520
It's just I will drink enough to
kill myself right in front of

358
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,240
you to.
Prove you wrong, Yeah.

359
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,720
Just to prove you wrong, I'll go
outside and hurl.

360
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,160
But you know, beyond that, I
remember we got in a cab to go

361
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,240
back and we're driving down
Bourbon Street.

362
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,000
That's how late it is.
There's nothing.

363
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,600
No, that's crazy.
And we're yelling at the guy

364
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,800
that we need to get whippets.
And I'm like the CEO of this

365
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,800
company and I'm with one of my
subordinates, a guy that came

366
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,400
with me and he, and we're in the
back and we stopped and we run

367
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,760
inside and we get whippets and
we come out, we do the whippets

368
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,160
and then we go to the next
place.

369
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,520
And there was these late night
stores on Bourbon Street that

370
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,040
were still open.
And they, and they were, I

371
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,760
remember steps up, go inside,
buy some whippets, come back

372
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,800
out.
And we, we got to our hotel,

373
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,600
which is the Marriott, which is
the end around the corner,

374
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,600
whatever the hell, I don't know.
And I'm looking at him and the

375
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,560
guy goes and he, he, he
literally picked us up a mile

376
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,680
away and he's driving us a mile,
mile and 1/2.

377
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:29,480
And he, and he goes $35.
You know, we're looking at the,

378
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,200
the number and the number is
like 385.

379
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,160
Like what he goes, no, no, it's
night time fare.

380
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,200
And I mean, I was hammered and
I'm like.

381
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,960
Fuck.
You know, that's all I could

382
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,080
say.
And then the guys with me is

383
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:47,080
going, no, we're not going to do
that.

384
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,680
And I have a 20 in my hand,
right?

385
00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:52,120
And he's yelling at us and he's
saying I'm not going to unlock

386
00:19:52,120 --> 00:19:53,080
the door.
I'm not going to unlock the

387
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,240
door.
And I go like I think I'm gonna,

388
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,520
I think I'm gonna.
And then he pops the door And as

389
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,760
he pops the door, I spread my
legs and I literally fill the

390
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,320
wheel well with with you.
I mean, I just, it was like.

391
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,760
I mean rapidly 4 inches deep of
vomit in the back and he had one

392
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,800
of those old time wheel wheels.
I push open the door and I fall

393
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,120
down on the pavement.
I don't get any vomiting on me

394
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:20,480
my guy and I threw the 20 at
him.

395
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,840
My guy steps over, gets out,
picks me up and says well fuck

396
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:29,280
you too to this cab driver.
And we leave the door open and

397
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,640
we go into the Marriott.
And I got to tell you the next

398
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:38,880
morning at 7:30, I posted I was
at the show, he was at the show.

399
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,000
And he was like, I, I thought, I
thought you were going to be

400
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,280
dead.
I was there first.

401
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,600
When he shows up and he sees me,
he's like, no.

402
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,760
And I'm all patchy and all that.
You know how the day after you

403
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,720
have that incredible stuff like
that?

404
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,360
A friendly.
Competitor from Docutronics,

405
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,160
Kate Purcell is like 30 meters
away.

406
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,240
She sees me and she goes because
she was drinking hurricanes with

407
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,400
me that night and she goes you
look what shit?

408
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,520
She screams it out real loud and
I'm just like.

409
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,840
Meanwhile, she had enough pickup
on to You know, I was like

410
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,160
clown, but I didn't say that
sometimes you.

411
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,160
Wish that you could you could
wear the makeup.

412
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,920
I don't know if hungover me
would be that much better at

413
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,560
doing makeup, you know, than
than I would be just looking

414
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,200
bad, you know?
Yeah, it'd be better.

415
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,920
Look bad.
She you know, where you, you

416
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,600
start to sweat and you can see
that she was already sweating.

417
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,080
She's already having the drunk
sweats and I, you know, so

418
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,680
that's the difference.
We, we, I mean, you look at Rudy

419
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,200
Giuliani when he had the, the
black hair dripping down his

420
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,400
neck and people are making fun
and it's like, you know, he was

421
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,160
doing hair dye and then he, he
drank a lot.

422
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,360
Then he woke up and then he's
sweating and that and you know,

423
00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:59,840
if you drink a lot, you know
that that happens the next day,

424
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,800
you're going to sweat.
So if you have anything that's

425
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,840
whatever kind of cool stuff you
put on your body, it's going to

426
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:11,880
drip, you know?
So you think he'd have known

427
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,880
that, but wow, not yet.
Apparently no.

428
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,600
No.
What if he's not?

429
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,200
He wasn't a good person.
What?

430
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:21,920
What other special?
Occasions.

431
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:27,680
Can you think special occasions?
For me, right now would be your

432

00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,400
That's kind of cool because
that's what.

475
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,160
People would say as in the
battle.

476
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,120
Yeah, he's a tough kid.
If it's a boy, it's Fallujah.

477
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,320
If it's girl, it's going to be
Disney World.

478
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:08,600
It's going to be.
Interesting.

479
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,360
If we see Sean have another kid
too, it's going to be wild.

480
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,320
He does, yeah.
He's got second one pregnant,

481
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,000
yeah.
I mean, that's so.

482
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,480
Cool, yeah.
He's a happy Papa and they're.

483
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,160
Doing well and I mean that's
always the thing that you wish

484
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,840
for the younger generation the
house since.

485
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,400
He was 21.
Like that's pretty easy.

486
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,920
Yeah, well, they did.
They did the right thing.

487
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,360
I know.
I know a portion of my friends

488
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:38,360
from the past kind of thought
ahead and they were the rare

489
00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:41,640
ones.
Most thought about the Trans Am

490
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,920
for today as opposed to the
house payment for tomorrow.

491
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,120
You know, so there's or the
we'll be able to sell.

492
00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:50,680
It off too, which is great,
right and I mean that's the.

493
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,920
Kind of thing that you need to
look forward, you know, we'll,

494
00:25:54,400 --> 00:26:00,160
it, it goes into teaching kids
about, you know, financial, I

495
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,840
don't want to say financial
responsibility.

496
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:08,760
I'm just like financial
understanding finances that, you

497
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,160
know, and there's so many weird
things that come with that

498
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,600
where, hey, if I save a dollar a
week, I'll have $300.00 at the

499
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,320
end of the year.
And it's like, yeah, well, it's,

500
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:23,480
it's, it's a lot more than that.
It's a it's a mentality to work

501
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,480
toward a goal, to get something
that you want or to put

502
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:31,720
something away that will make it
more secure when times are bad.

503
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,640
And I think it's splinters.
Too And two other certain

504
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,920
aspects of your life for
responsibility, you know, for

505
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,680
instance, I just follow, follow
through, follow through, you

506
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,640
know, on any sort of not only
the financial kind of repertoire

507
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,200
that you develop, but follow
through on just daily tasks and

508
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,360
things that you don't want to do
and then you do it anyway.

509
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,160
Yeah, I think it it followed.
Who was it that?

510
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,400
Sarah Silverman said it.
I think she said it before Nike.

511
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,000
You know, when I get when I,
when it just do it.

512
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,560
You know, you get up, you don't
want to do something and you

513
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,640
read about this where if you
have a couple minutes, I don't

514
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,560
know why it stuck with me
because I saw it and I'm one of

515
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,720
those silly memes that I'm
looking at all the time.

516
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,600
And it was just like, you know,
I get up and it's like I, I know

517
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,120
I have to go to the gym and
instead of sitting there and

518
00:27:20,120 --> 00:27:24,280
thinking of the reasons that I
don't need to, I just start, I

519
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,360
start walking.
And then I realized that, well,

520
00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:29,960
I'm already halfway there and
I'm already there and I'm

521
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,240
already, I'm already, I'm
already sitting in the gym, so I

522
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,920
might as well do an exercise.
You know, it's sort of lad, you

523
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,680
can, you can roll yourself
forward on starting.

524
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,640
You know, I'm happy.
I.

525
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,600
Started doing that about six
years ago now.

526
00:27:44,360 --> 00:27:46,680
Yeah, you've been.
Just working out, I don't know.

527
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,320
I don't think I've.
Missed an entire.

528
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,240
Week and not even if I'm on
vacation, I haven't done that

529
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,680
'cause it will, 'cause that's
what I realized.

530
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,840
Yeah, I kind of even before we
went to Antarctica, though,

531
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,120
there's that guy on there that
was like 85 and you were like,

532
00:28:01,120 --> 00:28:02,960
how old are you?
He's like, I'm 85 and you're

533
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,920
like, I thought you were fucking
71.

534
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,600
Like it's crazy.
Like it was a 10 year

535
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,160
difference.
Right, and there was the.

536
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,920
Guy that like started car washes
in Texas or something yeah and

537
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,640
yeah muscles is a.
Big thing, yeah.

538
00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:19,320
And we?
Lose 10% of our mass, muscle

539
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:24,000
mass from like 40 or 50 on, you
know, and then you have to, and

540
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,080
you can't just walk.
Walking's great, but you also

541
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,520
want to do some type of
weightlifting thing.

542
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,680
And I, I, you know, I'm lucky
enough to have a garage that I

543
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,880
can put weights in and go to.
I used to have, I mean, I could,

544
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,960
I can afford all the silly
memberships in the world, but I

545
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,360
can't get in a damn car and
drive a mile to go to them.

546
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:49,320
I am better off having it in my
garage because I have to every

547
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,800
time I go outside, I'm like, I
have 40 minutes.

548
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,920
I've always cut 40 minutes and I
can go over there and you know,

549
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,200
and I, you know what, last night
was an hour and I might go a

550
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,800
little longer, but it's like,
wow, what did I, what would I

551
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,480
have accomplished with that
extra 15 minutes if I had just

552
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,480
left early?
And it's like the answer is

553
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:07,800
nothing.
I remember we.

554
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,720
Had the What was it, the sport
and health membership for a long

555
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,760
time, yeah.
And I remember I started using

556
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,560
that when I was in Community
College and that was really

557
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:19,680
nice.
I never went to Community

558
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,360
College gym, funny enough, I
don't know if the Annandale

559
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,560
campus had one.
I don't know if I'm.

560
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,080
Sure they did.
I don't.

561
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,600
Know because that one was like,
I was looking for it and I think

562
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,960
I asked somebody and I don't
know if they did, but yeah, no,

563
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,680
I remember doing that and I was
like, wow, it's actually, it's

564
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,960
very nice in here with all the
old people playing tennis.

565
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,040
You know, they have like some of
the most renowned tennis courts.

566
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,320
They have like a clay court.
Which is crazy.

567
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:47,960
What?
Sport.

568
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,320
And health had a clay court.
You.

569
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:52,000
You there?
Really.

570
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:53,160
Yeah.
Yeah.

571
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,400
No.
I was doing in the endale campus

572
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:56,880
NV.
Tell me if they have.

573
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:57,520
A gym.
Yeah.

574
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:58,760
Yeah.
Gym.

575
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:00,160
GYM.
Go.

576
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:02,840
I'm curious.
Oh.

577
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,400
Fitness center is open to all
current Yeah.

578
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,520
What does it look like?
I'm center gymnasium.

579
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,080
That's the one thing.
You know what?

580
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:17,560
Actually, no, I don't care.
I don't really care that I don't

581
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,240
really.
I never got into any clubs

582
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,680
there.
Yeah.

583
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,440
They got 2 volleyball.
Courts.

584
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,320
Fencing courts, Electrical
outlets, Telephone jacks.

585
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,680
Where's the wait?
It looks like it might be all

586
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,920
sports stuff.
No room.

587
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,400
Let's see.
Oh, they definitely do.

588
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:39,640
Here it is.
Yeah, Yeah.

589
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:40,760
I would.
I would think they would.

590
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,640
Oh, it's relatively.
Small though, yeah, I mean,

591
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,120
it's.
Like it's like, what is it you?

592
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,240
You look at the the weird.
Hotels.

593
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,320
Where they have a side room.
Remember when we were on the

594
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,800
Silver Seas?
Remember how small that was?

595
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,920
That was just the.
Worst OK so Annandale does it's

596
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,960
located in one O 2B OK so when
you come.

597
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,920
Back we'll go to one O 2B and we
actually could.

598
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,800
Because I, that'd be kind of
funny, yeah.

599
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,840
I don't know where my card is
though.

600
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:14,040
My my old ID.
You think security is that

601
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,200
tight?
No.

602
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,360
It's definitely not.
You just wait for somebody to

603
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,520
open the door.
Yeah, that's what I always do.

604
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,120
That's how I rob people.
Wait for somebody else to.

605
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,000
Open the door.
We're we're the doorman.

606
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,040
You just give the doorman A5 and
he opens the door.

607
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,120
Oh, I know you messed around.
That's the one.

608
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,920
Thing that I realized recently
about those high rise complex

609
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,880
with door door people is that
everybody knows when you're

610
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,320
leaving and you're coming into
your apartment and it's really

611
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,640
weird it's very strange and it
feels like somebody's always

612
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,760
watching you well I.
Mean you you don't need a

613
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,640
doorman to do that.
They have cameras well.

614
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,440
There's physical people that are
in the lobby 24 hours a day.

615
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,320
Yeah.
And it's, it's, I don't know,

616
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,400
it's supposed to make you feel.
Safer and, and a lot of times it

617
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,400
does.
And, and remember, if I wanted

618
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:03,360
to rob a building, I wouldn't
want to walk past the guy at the

619
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,160
front desk.
Yeah, 'cause I know that I'd be

620
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,520
on camera and they'd have a
picture of me and they'd know

621
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,720
that I came in that building and
I had no reason to be there.

622
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,680
So then at least I'm a suspect.
So there's, you know, if if

623
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,640
you're a criminal and you start
to think like that, you'd have

624
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,480
to go in a different route,
you'd have to go in the

625
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,400
delivery, you know, off a lot of
these.

626
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,080
Communities though, if you
really want it, you can't really

627
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,440
steal from because there's
twenty story high rise and then

628
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,840
it's surrounded by a fence
that's like 9 feet tall and the

629
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,600
only way in is through a gate
that's constantly closed.

630
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,760
That's the only way that you're
getting in and then everything's

631
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,040
Cameron up and you need a key
fob to get to any floor that's

632
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,920
about.
Well, unless you use the

633
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,080
balconies and you can climb up
balconies.

634
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:45,640
I mean not.
Like not these.

635
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,120
Gosh, Miami, they.
Did that they they're the Miami

636
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,800
jewels.
These are really good at that

637
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,320
because they had, they all had
all the high rise.

638
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,040
The beautiful, really luxurious
places have high rises and all

639
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,280
the high rises have balconies
outside.

640
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,760
And it's not that difficult.
I mean, in my younger years I

641
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,040
could do it.
Probably now I would be dead but

642
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:09,160
you could go from floor.
If you stood on the railing of 1

643
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,160
you can reach and pull up to the
next one.

644
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,080
Also, the buildings themselves
are made so you could actually

645
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,080
go up in the you can pressure
hit your body against one side

646
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,840
and your feet to get your legs
against another you.

647
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,800
Could do it that.
Way so it but you got to have

648
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,560
you got to be physically strong
and you got to be not scared of

649
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,680
heights and you can get up and a
lot of people if you know

650
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:35,760
anything about the construction
of a a sliding door with a

651
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,440
heavyweight you can you can use
to you can pop them unless they

652
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,000
put the steel bar in there on
the bottom to stop them from

653
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,440
coming over otherwise you care
bring a glass cutter that's

654
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,520
worth a damn and you have a
little hammer and you can unlock

655
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,960
them and it's not that difficult
the thing you have to worry

656
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:58,200
about is alarms but a lot of
people would not alarm AA17

657
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,600
story balcony window they just
yeah there's.

658
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,960
No reason to, right?
So you're in their house and

659
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,520
there's nothing, but you got to
make sure they're not at home.

660
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,159
So you're going to do it during
the day.

661
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,679
So there's a chance that you're
going to be seen from the

662
00:34:11,679 --> 00:34:13,400
ground.
That's the problem.

663
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,000
If you do it at night, you have
to make sure that it's one of

664
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,159
those rich people's hotels where
they just go there.

665
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:24,320
We have 15 houses and it's in
the summertime, so there's no

666
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,280
way we'd go to Miami, you know
what I mean?

667
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,760
Great place to rob, but then
what are you going to leave

668
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:29,560
there?
Nothing.

669
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,960
You have to rob them when they
go into their apartment, drop

670
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,880
their shit off and then go down
to the pool.

671
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,880
And then you rob them because
then they brought all their

672
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,800
stuff with them and they're
usually on vacation.

673
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,400
You know, the rich people will
take the really good shit with

674
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,199
them and that's the that's the
best time to hit them and that's

675
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:48,120
how you Rob.
And houses in Miami, that's what

676
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,760
we're going to call and on my.
Anniversary and that's.

677
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,360
How GSI was funded for the 1st
10 years.

678
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,360
No, I never, I was never I, I
would just, I could see how it

679
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,520
could be done and I would
understand it.

680
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,200
But I'm not.
And, you know, stealing to me is

681
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:12,440
sort of like, you know, I
understand why people do and

682
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:18,040
yeah, it's bad and but it's not
like murdering people and all

683
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,160
the other horrible things that
you do and moral.

684
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,360
Moral ethics.
Yeah, moral ethics.

685
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:28,440
Thievery is is weighed down the
list of horrible, shitty things

686
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,240
to do to people.
Yes, you know, I mean, the worst

687
00:35:31,240 --> 00:35:35,960
is when you when you steal
people's heirlooms or, you know,

688
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,680
things that remind them of their
dead husband or something like

689
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:40,440
that.
You know, fact.

690
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,840
Yeah, yeah.
Nobody cares about that.

691
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,400
That's not the kind of thing
that people remember.

692
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:49,040
The thing they remember is you
gave me a wedding ring and he

693
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,720
stole and he stole that, or you
gave me a, this diamond thing on

694
00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:57,040
my Valentine's Day or our fifth
day anniversary and those kind

695
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:58,600
of things.
When you steal those from

696
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,360
people, you steal a piece of
their heart.

697
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:07,120
I, I think and I think that
that, you know, can't do that,

698
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,880
can't do that.
That's, that's bad.

699
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,120
Just think it's funny.
How this has evolved into into

700
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:15,120
your moral kind of vision on
what stealing means to you.

701
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,680
Criminal Mr. Brown, stealing is
bad.

702
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:20,920
You should have been a jewelry
thief.

703
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,600
I've always kind of thought it
was cool, but I always did.

704
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,480
Think it was cool as well,
especially the the guys in Paris

705
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:33,560
this past year were and then
they got arrested at CDG, the

706
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,360
local airport.
I'm like, how could you?

707
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,720
You're in Europe.
Take a train, make a train.

708
00:36:39,720 --> 00:36:42,080
I mean in Europe I.
Would put all the stuff in a fed

709
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:46,040
up Xbox and send it to myself in
North Africa or something and

710
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,520
then I would go there.
I would go there, train anywhere

711
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:54,800
else other than Paris, right to
a local Paris airport.

712
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,960
Like what?
How?

713
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,000
How did you even get in drive?
I mean, I would, I would drive

714
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,600
to Germany.
Either that or.

715
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,480
There's no stops.
There's nobody stopping.

716
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,600
You from there, you could drive
from Paris to Germany and

717
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,560
there's not a problem.
You go over land you, you know,

718
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,800
and it's like you leave at the
Munich airport and it's like,

719
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,840
who the heck would expect that?
And then you just fly to you fly

720
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,560
to Canada where you pick up your
FedEx and then you decide how

721
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,240
you're going to do what you're
going to do with it.

722
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,360
I'd fly to.
Somewhere with no extradition,

723
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,600
that's the only thing that I
would do.

724
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,840
That's the.
Reason I'm going to Uruguay.

725
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,280
I think Uruguay and Paraguay
both are.

726
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,720
They're like Old world Nazi,
yeah.

727
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,640
I mean, that's where, yeah,
that's where there's a lot of

728
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,560
blonde.
Eared blue eyed people there.

729
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,000
Very, very interesting.
Yeah, but the 40s?

730
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,200
They came over late 40s.
I wonder why.

731
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,200
Yeah, lots of money, lots of art
and a lot of art.

732
00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:51,760
European art for some reason.
A lot.

733
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,640
Of a lot of strange artwork over
there, yeah.

734
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,960
Most definitely we have that.
Wow.

735
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,480
What do you think about all the
different things that that well

736
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,760
to get away from stealing, Think
about the anniversaries.

737
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,480
What are the other important
things in your life like when

738
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,840
you learned how to drive?
That was a really cool time.

739
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,000
I don't have the date, but I
remember you were you were just

740
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:18,560
barely 16 and you were one of
the few of your friends that

741
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,560
passed the exam and decided to
drive.

742
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,640
It seemed like in your
generation, In my generation,

743
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,800
stop doing it.
Yeah, we wanted to drive.

744
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,200
At 14 in your generation,
they're like, well, it's too

745
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:32,800
dangerous.
I think it was the.

746
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,200
School that I went to as well,
where people were like, you know

747
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,480
what, if you don't want to
drive, it's going to be all

748
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,560
right.
And like, that's just not

749
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,520
acceptable.
I don't think that's acceptable,

750
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,760
yeah.
I think that's real lazy, you

751
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,040
know, well, you live in a city,
you don't need to and it's like,

752
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,920
well, you don't, but go to now
there's state I.

753
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:54,520
Mean with with no urban sort of
transportation, what are you

754
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:55,680
doing?
What are you doing when you go

755
00:38:55,680 --> 00:39:00,320
on vacation to Arkansas, right,
You got to drive like what are

756
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:01,680
you going to take Ubers in
Arkansas?

757
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,760
I guess you could now, but
that's no you.

758
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,320
Can't 'cause they're not too
expensive.

759
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:07,800
I mean.
Even when I go to out to Great

760
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,920
Falls, when we go to the broke
and if we take an Uber out

761
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,480
there, 'cause we're going to
have 3 beers, you know, you

762
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,480
can't get an Uber back.
It's like, oh, it's 45 minutes.

763
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:20,440
What?
Well, they're they're Dallas, so

764
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,720
they have to come from Dallas to
you or something like that.

765
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:24,560
And you're like, Oh my God.
And they won't come.

766
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:26,360
No, I mean why?
Would you know?

767
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,160
You know. 20 or 30 minutes I've
waited and because it's like a

768
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,120
$9 ride, you know, it's like,
wow, I'm going to drive 25

769
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,160
minutes to give a $9 ride.
No, I'm not there.

770
00:39:34,720 --> 00:39:36,240
And there's no like place close
by.

771
00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:39,760
So it's like even in Northern
Virginia, it's that way, you

772
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:44,440
know, But I, I'm like crazy with
the Uber drivers.

773
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,200
So they generally come when I
still remember when.

774
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,520
Food delivery first started
happening.

775
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,320
It was post mates was before
everything.

776
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:59,200
I remember that and and seeing
post mates in DC and like that's

777
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,840
I just thought the whole idea of
getting food ordered to you no

778
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,360
matter what the restaurant was
'cause it was only like Papa

779
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:09,040
John's and like maybe Chinese,
like maybe Chinese if it was

780
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:10,520
that specific Chinese
restaurant.

781
00:40:11,720 --> 00:40:15,160
But other than that, nobody did
it and I was, well, it happened

782
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:16,600
in COVID.
It it it.

783
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:21,280
Exploded in COVID because
restaurants were going to die

784
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:26,840
and they realized and that they
could stay even and they could

785
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:31,240
sell their inventory if they to
take out.

786
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,720
So at least they could have they
could have a cook and a few

787
00:40:33,720 --> 00:40:37,480
other people there reppers and
they could keep some of their

788
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:42,040
staff on the wait staff got
hosed, you know, as they always

789
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:43,920
do.
People at the bottom get, you

790
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,800
know, crapped upon quite
frequently and there's no

791
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,200
recourse.
And so that's when it really

792
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,200
took off And the whole idea that
you could call people and have

793
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,560
them bring food to you and stuff
like that.

794
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:59,480
And you know, but but the
margin, I mean, they're the 10

795
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:04,560
or 12% in the restaurants work
off of a 10 or 12% margin was

796
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:08,240
all eaten by the delivery.
So the restaurant, that's what

797
00:41:08,240 --> 00:41:09,640
they paid.
So they would not.

798
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,600
They couldn't make any money.
Yeah, I remember.

799
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,600
Learning that recently where you
have to pay a fee to have either

800
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,800
DoorDash or whatever it is right
you.

801
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,360
Paid them a fee and it's a piece
of the delivery.

802
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,560
Yeah, right.
That's.

803
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,160
Why a $30 order goes up to like
70?

804
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:28,720
Yeah, it's it's.
It's crazy.

805
00:41:28,720 --> 00:41:31,840
It's insane, you know, and, and
then that's before tip or

806
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:33,800
anything.
And it's like, So what are you

807
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,720
going to do?
And well, you know, you see

808
00:41:35,720 --> 00:41:39,240
people that do it all the time
and it's like they're unaware.

809
00:41:39,240 --> 00:41:44,040
I think a lot of people are
unaware or unaware.

810
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:48,040
Is, is, is a nice way to put it
as opposed to don't care.

811
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,720
I'd like to think that people
are unaware and that not that

812
00:41:50,720 --> 00:41:53,560
they don't care.
You know, the bubble around

813
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,560
people.
Has been only increased in the

814
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,640
past five years Well, they're
allowed to get.

815
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,320
Farther and farther apart
because I only talked to you on

816
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,960
the phone and I don't talk.
I actually just type words in

817
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:07,760
and show videos of me being
wonderful and living a wonderful

818
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,960
life.
And then you see the occasional

819
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,560
meme where you see the Uber
drivers come up and just throw

820
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,720
the food in the door.
Yeah.

821
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,520
Well, I remember there was one
where you, oh, you got, you got

822
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,240
7 pieces.
Of the pizza, what the hell you

823
00:42:20,240 --> 00:42:23,720
expect she.
She didn't get a tip, so she

824
00:42:23,720 --> 00:42:29,800
pepper sprayed the bag and then
she got arrested for like felony

825
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,240
poisoning or something like
that.

826
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,120
See that's.
That's my problem because I

827
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:39,480
mean, I want to tip them when
they get there and so if they

828
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:40,600
don't see a tip, yeah, whenever
you.

829
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,560
Don't tip on the app.
I'm like you are running, you're

830
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,120
running.
Crazy risks.

831
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,280
I don't use the apps.
I don't use the apps for food.

832
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:51,960
I use the apps for Uber and Uber
when when you tip, you don't tip

833
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,040
to the end.
So you have an advantage.

834
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:58,280
Whereas Uber Eats, you have tip
up front.

835
00:42:58,280 --> 00:42:59,560
You got it?
Yeah.

836
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,720
That's why if you're not tipping
up front, it's like.

837
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,000
But I wonder.
If how much of that tip actually

838
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,120
ends up in their pocket, Oh.
Probably.

839
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,640
Well, they know that they get it
though, because people are like,

840
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,840
thank you for the tip.
I've seen that on the app.

841
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,520
Yeah, I would like to.
Like respond to what was that?

842
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,800
How much did you get 'cause like
when I talked to 1 driver and it

843
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:25,080
was like it was a $40 ride to
take us to Lake Dip and he said

844
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,000
he'd got 20 bucks.
Yeah, I.

845
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,120
Remember that I was like.
Whoa.

846
00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:33,600
And they and and I've had them
ask me periodically what, what,

847
00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,440
what did they charge you because
they didn't know.

848
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,480
They go, I get, I get, I get 20
bucks ticket at the airport and

849
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,720
I'm like, well, I'll double it.
So they're like what you know,

850
00:43:42,720 --> 00:43:45,640
and I'm that's, that's what I do
exactly.

851
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:47,680
I make them happy, that kind of
thing.

852
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,080
It's all about making people.
Happy at the end of, yeah, I

853
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:51,040
mean.
When you when you think about

854
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,160
life in general, it's like it,
it's, it's, it's so hard to to,

855
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,560
to push people into the smile
zone.

856
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,400
Just occasionally.
You don't have to do it all the

857
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,800
time, but just occasionally.
Just make people other people

858
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,000
happy, mad, don't think.
About yourself for once.

859
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:06,600
Yeah.
Oh, I'm only thinking.

860
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:10,280
About myself, you know, I, I, it
just makes me feel good.

861
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:11,160
Oh, it's not.
Even.

862
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,240
Yeah.
Does altruism exist?

863
00:44:13,240 --> 00:44:14,600
I don't think so.
Good question.

864
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:16,360
I don't think it does.
I know that it does.

865
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:17,600
It does on your.
Anniversary.

866
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,200
Altruism exists when you're
naive.

867
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:24,520
I think that that is that is,
the only time in in the world

868
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:25,920
that it really exists is when
you're.

869
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:27,600
I want to see.
Better I want to see people do

870
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:28,680
better.
I do.

871
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:33,200
And, and I think that when you
show that you can do better,

872
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,880
that, you know, I'm a, I'm a
believer in following and

873
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:41,000
leadership and things like that,
that people when they see

874
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:45,520
somebody that's doing better, do
better.

875
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:52,000
They like when you see Bezos's
wife who has like $40 billion

876
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,520
and she's giving away 10 of it
and she's still worth like $40

877
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,000
billion, she can't give it away
fast enough.

878
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,560
And you're like, and she's,
she's helping all these

879
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:04,000
organizations instead of just
pledging it to some place, which

880
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,640
means you're not going to really
give it because Buffett pledged

881
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:12,840
all of his wealth to the Melinda
and Bill Gates fund, remember?

882
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:14,800
That fund is BS though I'm
pretty sure.

883
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,120
No, but big, big.
Big, big, big deal.

884
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,600
He, he pledged.
He's like a couple 100 billion,

885
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:23,520
150, a hundred, whatever.
He pledged it, he's going to

886
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,080
give it all away.
Guess what?

887
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,600
What?
Nope.

888
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,680
Pulled it all back.
He's giving it to his kids.

889
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:33,720
Oh my God.
I think, I think you could

890
00:45:33,720 --> 00:45:36,480
probably go back and see the 100
times that he said.

891
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,600
But he's not really giving it to
his kids.

892
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:44,160
He's he's letting his kids
manage giving it away, whatever

893
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,480
that means.
Yeah, whatever, whatever that

894
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:49,280
means.
You know, could have, would have

895
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:53,920
shut up and and and he made it.
It's his money.

896
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,600
It wasn't always on good things.
And a lot of things I've seen

897
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:03,320
are just, you know, ripping off
the pore, you know, like

898
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,280
Rent-A-Center.
I think that's just, that's one

899
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:08,800
of his widest margin things.
And it's just that's so horrible

900
00:46:09,720 --> 00:46:13,000
that you know what they do?
They rent like like you go to

901
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,840
apartment where you are now and
they would rent you ATV and a

902
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:21,200
living room set $25 or $30 a
week.

903
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:23,320
Interesting.
And you don't think?

904
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:27,800
Much of that or $50 a week or
$100 a week or something like

905
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,440
that.
You're like, man, we get ATV, we

906
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,640
get a couch, we get this set up
the whole apartment.

907
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,080
It's cool.
And you're renting it, right?

908
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:40,920
So you don't own it and you just
pay $100 a week and that's 400 a

909
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,480
month and that's $3600 a year
and you probably paid for it in

910
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:48,240
two months.
And if you want to buy it, it,

911
00:46:48,240 --> 00:46:50,800
you can buy it for like
depending upon how long you

912
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:55,680
rented it for another portion.
And it's like it, it's just,

913
00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:02,760
it's instant gratification to
people that don't know better.

914
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:04,600
You know what I mean?
It's kind of sad.

915
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,080
And that's like those people
that.

916
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:09,240
Own Section 8 housing that are
like, so this is how I make the

917
00:47:09,240 --> 00:47:11,400
bedrooms smaller so I can put
another one in.

918
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:16,560
This is how I get more money
from the government to quote UN

919
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:19,120
quote help these people in
Section 8 housing.

920
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,800
Here's how I take away a
bathroom and move it down the

921
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,200
hallway and then turn the old
bathroom into a bedroom.

922
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,680
I'm like, why are you telling
people that you're a terrible

923
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,240
person?
Why are you, Why are you doing

924
00:47:30,240 --> 00:47:32,920
that?
How to maximize your return?

925
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,480
Maximize your return and you're
like, what about?

926
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,240
I mean, do you do you feel like
you're screwing people?

927
00:47:39,240 --> 00:47:41,120
Well, they should move there if
they have a choice.

928
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:42,520
And it's like they don't have a
choice.

929
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:44,920
Are you kidding me?
They don't.

930
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,840
If if poor people had a choice,
they chose not to be poor.

931
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,560
OK, Stop it.
You know, yeah, I like this.

932
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,200
Invention that it's like, oh, if
you just work harder and that

933
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,840
that's been disproven millions
of times, you could.

934
00:47:58,240 --> 00:48:02,440
Capitalism is the kind of myth
that you have choices.

935
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,520
You can do better.
You can do better.

936
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:08,640
I would.
I would say that, but I but I

937
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:14,960
worked alongside of people that
worked really hard and still ran

938
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:19,040
into financial trouble because
they didn't understand certain

939
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:22,480
things.
OK, they didn't understand how

940
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,760
finances worked.
I mean, I remember 1 roommate

941
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:28,360
telling me he got a car and I
was asking him like after he

942
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,000
bought the car, he didn't buy
the car.

943
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,040
He he put a down payment and I
was like, so what's the interest

944
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:34,320
rate goes?
What difference does that make?

945
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,320
Like whoa.
And it was like, and he pulled

946
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,120
out the paperwork and I looked
through it and I found it and it

947
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:45,360
was like 19.6%.
And I was like, and this is when

948
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:49,200
interest rates were around 6%.
So it was not, it wasn't like

949
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,440
when they were 19 and 1990
eighty.

950
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:55,920
It was like you're just going
like, dude, they, they, you

951
00:48:55,920 --> 00:49:02,720
know, that means that for every
$3 that you pay, I know for

952
00:49:02,720 --> 00:49:06,480
every $5 that you pay one of
those dollars and, and every

953
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:10,040
month is going to just so you're
really only paying four.

954
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:16,440
So when you pay 125 of it is
going to them for just for you

955
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:20,720
using the money.
So you're only paying 75.

956
00:49:20,720 --> 00:49:23,400
When you write a check for 100,
you write a check for 500.

957
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,880
You gave them 100.
If this is a 5 year deal, you

958
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,240
can figure out how much you're
paying and it's, it's a lot.

959
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:33,480
It's a huge amount.
You know, it's the whole thing

960
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,080
when you've heard the, the 100
year house.

961
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,520
So you're going to get a
mortgage now for 100 years, you

962
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:42,000
know, and then you buy a
$500,000 house that you can

963
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:45,360
afford now, but now you're going
to pay $3,000,000 for it.

964
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,920
You know you'll never really own
it.

965
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:55,520
You also like about the Chinese.
Is that they 98% of people own

966
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,200
their own homes and then people
are like, well, it's on an 85

967
00:49:58,200 --> 00:49:59,840
year land lease.
So I'm like, these people are

968
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:03,120
fucking 30 years old anyway.
Who fucking gives a shit?

969
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,720
Like I don't understand.
Well, how many Americans do you

970
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,560
own their own house?
Tell me what percentage do Yeah

971
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,080
question.
That's, that's good.

972
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:14,080
I'm very curious on this
anniversary day 'cause I know

973
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:15,600
the.
More than half live paycheck to

974
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,800
paycheck.
Yeah, yeah.

975
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:22,720
Like 56% How many we'll see.
How?

976
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:34,200
Many US owned houses.
Oh wow. 65 to 66% I don't

977
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:38,440
believe that 83 to 85,000,000
homeowners in the US

978
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:45,040
representing about 65 of 120. 9
occupied, so that's very

979
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:46,840
strange.
That doesn't, no.

980
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:48,840
No, that's that's not, that's
not true.

981
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,880
That's not 60. 5 to 60, that's
like 30%.

982
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,760
Because if 85, you know that's
not 300 million.

983
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,040
Yeah, I don't really.
That isn't.

984
00:50:57,240 --> 00:50:58,520
Yeah, Yeah.
That's of how.

985
00:50:58,520 --> 00:50:59,840
Many ohms?
How many?

986
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,520
How many units are there of the
units occupied?

987
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:06,280
40 point. 3 is here.
This is weird.

988
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:09,280
Now I have 38.8 here.
Yeah.

989
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:11,400
Isn't that funny?
Yeah, I was.

990
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:15,480
Wondering like how is 83,000,065
to 66% when we're a country of

991
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:20,040
320 That doesn't make that
doesn't make.

992
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:21,600
Sense.
Yeah, There you go.

993
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:23,160
Well, there you.
Go.

994
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,920
So seems like China's doing a
little bit better, yeah.

995
00:51:27,240 --> 00:51:30,160
We got things to work on.
We have, we have lots and but I

996
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:33,280
think The thing is we still have
to remember our special people

997
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:34,560
and our special times in our
lives.

998
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,680
And that's what anniversaries
are all about and special

999
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:38,440
occasions, right?
I think so.

1000
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,320
I know Valentine's Day is a man
made thing, but I think it's

1001
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:46,800
kind of a cool thing to
celebrate, you know, your your

1002
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:51,120
love for another, you know,
that's a nice thing you want to

00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,040
see.
