Episode 134: Weather
We talk about our weather experiences.
1
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,440
Welcome back to another episode
of Record, My Father.
2
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,520
Today we're going to be talking
about weather.
3
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:21,560
The East Coast has a large,
large snowstorm upon itself.
4
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,040
I'm not really.
I think you're in the midst of
5
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,160
it, right?
How's that going?
6
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:29,600
Yeah, we, we, we had about a
foot on Saturday, Sunday here in
7
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,320
Northern Virginia.
And we're supposed to, we're
8
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,720
supposed to get another foot
this weekend, then we were
9
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,280
supposed to get none.
Then we're supposed to get it
10
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,600
again, then we're supposed to
get none.
11
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,320
Now it looks like when next
Wednesday we get 3 inches.
12
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,800
I don't know, you know, I, I
guess it's just who we decided
13
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,680
the date and that's why we're
getting 3 inches.
14
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,360
But that's another story, right?
I'm like, I remember what was
15
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,560
it, 2012?
It was like 4 feet of snow or
16
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,600
something.
Oh, that was so cool.
17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,360
But that was cool snow.
The snow is like it's it snowed
18
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,480
Saturday and I did the thing
like midday.
19
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,840
I whipped out my snow blower and
it cut down 6 inches of snow
20
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,880
gone driveways clear everything,
but it's still like it's still
21
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,200
sleet snowing until like
midnight that night, which is
22
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,320
another 5 or 6 inches, something
like that.
23
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,800
Well, unfortunately I didn't do
it again and it froze and it
24
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,080
froze solid.
I mean it is solid, solid block
25
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,720
of solid.
It was so the we have an Audi.
26
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,480
My my wife's Audi has
convertible Audi like the A5
27
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,160
parked around front.
Coolest thing in the world.
28
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,560
Yesterday I was like, damn, I
got an accident on the way back
29
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,440
from the airport.
Got rear-ended on the Parkway
30
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,560
and I can tell that story, but
I'll tell that story after the
31
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,880
driving, the driving the I got
in the Audi and it was totally
32
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,680
shitty day.
And I'm like, I got to move it
33
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,280
around to the front because now
I'm not going to be able to
34
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,320
drive that Subaru.
And it's, it's like a foot of
35
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,440
snow all the way around, but
it's all frozen solid.
36
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,440
So I just drive up on it and
drive right across it.
37
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,280
And it didn't like slip nothing.
And I was just like, Oh my God,
38
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,560
because I thought I was going to
have to like break that chip,
39
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,360
all that ice out so I could
drive it out.
40
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,200
That's.
All-wheel drive, yeah.
41
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,560
And I was just like, Oh my God,
Oh my God, Oh my God.
42
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,560
And I got to tell you, that was
just the greatest feeling in the
43
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,600
world that I didn't have to
spend a day doing that or
44
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:34,080
finding a people.
The guys that got away to, you
45
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,000
know.
I remember with the my Honda got
46
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,640
stuck at the Safeway because it
was snowing, and then she picked
47
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:43,960
me up in the convertible and I
thought that was the funniest
48
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,000
thing, 'cause that makes no
sense on paper.
49
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,640
Yeah, that car that really.
Makes great in the snow.
50
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:52,760
Oh, like the best better than
the Subaru.
51
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,560
It is, yeah, better than the
Subaru.
52
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,800
Subaru tends to slide.
I got, I think about all my
53
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,080
harrowing times and the snow.
I remember coming home.
54
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,480
It was a snowstorm before you
were born.
55
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,880
We've been married like four or
five years, 55 or six years.
56
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,680
We were living at Pomeroy Drive.
I'm driving home and the wife's,
57
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,920
but we have a Ford Explorer.
It's like 7:00 at night, snow's
58
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:15,760
coming down.
It's like 4 inches of snow on
59
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,960
the ground.
And of course I'm doing the
60
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,920
speed limit plus 20, which is
what I'm always doing.
61
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:25,040
I'm probably doing 70 and then
the car and I'm going 395 S.
62
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,080
In the snow on four in the.
Snow man in the snow, but I was
63
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,120
in the right hand.
There was like the far speed
64
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,120
lane was completely clear.
All the other lanes were like
65
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,440
covered with snow.
So I was felt like I was OK, but
66
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,040
I kind of slipped over a little
bit.
67
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:44,600
And then the car just does this.
It goes sideways and it goes
68
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,920
sideways and then it just starts
heading for the bumper, heading
69
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,000
for the guardrail and and
there's nothing I could do.
70
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,720
I mean, it was just it was doing
its thing.
71
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,720
And I look out the white side of
the window, which she's the
72
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,000
passenger, and I see the cars
coming at us.
73
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:06,360
It's a wall of cars, you know,
which you know, she's going to
74
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,960
be dead.
I'm probably going to be made,
75
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,760
but I'm going to live and be
tortured the rest of my life for
76
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:16,600
killing my wife.
Anyway, I I slide slowly and the
77
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,120
cars are coming and they're
trying to, I assume they're
78
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,399
trying to slow down or they
didn't give a shit or they
79
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:23,200
didn't even see us 'cause we're
sideways.
80
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,240
Remember cars sideways don't
have lights.
81
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,160
They have them front and back.
Anyway, we're sliding sideways
82
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Oink.
We slide right up to the, the
83
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,360
guardrail oink and it and it's
not covered.
84
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:39,720
It's not like stopped.
So we're we're totally off the
85
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:45,640
road and then they pass by and
it was just like, holy shit, you
86
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,720
know, it was just the wildest,
wildest thing.
87
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,400
You know, I think about all the
different times and the
88
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,280
different stories when you think
about weather in our lifetime,
89
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:57,960
in my lifetime, I mean, one of
the biggest storms I ever faced
90
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,480
was Agnes in 72.
Well, actually, I would say the
91
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:09,560
biggest storm we ever faced was
64 in Alexandria when our house
92
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:15,200
was flooded and we lost it.
And that was Mark Drive and I,
93
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,440
there's actually a picture and
one of our places, one of our
94
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,320
shows, we actually have a, a sky
picture of it.
95
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,520
It's really cool where it's
completely underwater, you know,
96
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,200
or it's the, the house was half
flooded and we were still in the
97
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,760
house just before the empty
houses, you know, the water's
98
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,360
coming.
It's like we were the too stupid
99
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,120
to run out to know that you
should leave.
100
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:44,160
In 72, Agnes happened and
Woodbridge has bridges that come
101
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,360
into the community and over
rivers and every bridge was out.
102
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,680
So it was, it was a stuck
community for, I don't know,
103
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,160
four or five days, something
like that.
104
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,680
They brought in water.
What we're there was no water.
105
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,920
You had to, if you want to flush
your toilet.
106
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:04,600
We went down to the Creek and
filled up buckets and it was, I
107
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,560
don't know, two or three weeks
until the water got back.
108
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,720
It was crazy.
It was just that that and that
109
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:15,880
was hurricane, not snow.
And I remember, you know, 2-3
110
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,480
foot snows when we were little
kids in the 60s.
111
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,080
I remember them again when you
were a little kid and they were
112
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,680
like back-to-back and that's
what did it.
113
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,920
I think it was 20 inches and
then another 14 inches four days
114
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,920
later or something.
That's when we got a whole lot
115
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,680
of snow here.
And it was just, it was so
116
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,880
wicked cool.
I love it because it was I
117
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,400
didn't have a job.
I wasn't working and you were
118
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,200
and you were a little kid and
you were just like into it so
119
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,640
much.
And we had well, the cats didn't
120
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,280
care about it, but the dogs did
later.
121
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,880
But you know, that was just so
much fun.
122
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,680
And I had a a snow blower, so,
you know, I could clear the
123
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,800
driveway pretty quick it.
Was the best investment of all
124
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:54,800
time.
That's oh.
125
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,480
Yeah, I would say that was.
Oh, my God.
126
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,880
I remember.
I went to shovel it as a kid.
127
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,920
Not fun.
Yeah, I shovelled the whole
128
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,480
thing.
No, you shovelled this Four or
129
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,640
five, probably.
And you shovelled the front
130
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,320
step.
I shovelled the whole thing.
131
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,560
Four or five years.
Old front step that's covered.
132
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,520
That's what you shovelled.
And yeah, it was a lot, a lot of
133
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,040
work back then.
But and you guys would sit
134
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,920
inside and I would just do the
whole driveway.
135
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,520
Four or five years old.
Cyclone and New Zealand when all
136
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,280
the weather was out, all the
water was out we were there.
137
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:35,440
I'm trying to think our
honeymoon our very first night
138
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:40,200
at the honeymoon was it rained
for like two or three days.
139
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,600
I remember that I remember
sitting on the beach we're in
140
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,720
Blanco Bay, the wife the wife is
like exhausted because they've
141
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,040
been a long up and come all
sorts of things went really
142
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,560
weird on the you know, the month
before our wedding and up to our
143
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,080
wedding a lot of family stress.
Let's just put it that way.
144
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:02,480
Anyway, we go, we we fly and the
weather's so bad we get stuck at
145
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,760
Saint Croix.
So we go to this bar and they
146
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,560
have these services.
They're called Babe Ruth drinks.
147
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:11,720
I have no idea what the hell
they are.
148
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:16,360
They were blue something and we
had, I think I had four and she
149
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,440
had two and she was shit
hammered.
150
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,360
And this was we went to bed.
We went up to bed at like 10:00
151
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:29,280
that night in the island.
We had to get up at 4:30 to
152
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,440
catch the first flight out,
which was a little puddle
153
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,720
jumper, which we caught.
The little puddle jumper took us
154
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,760
to Charlotte only yeah, what's
that?
155
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,000
Saint Thomas?
And then we go to Belongo Bay
156
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,800
and I mean she's booted like 6
times by now.
157
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,320
And we get we check in and I put
her in the golf cart, take her
158
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,640
up and she's just done.
She just goes in, lays down on
159
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,000
the bed and she's asleep.
She stays there for like two or
160
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,560
three days.
This is first 3 days of my are
161
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:03,480
are my honeymoon.
So I go down to the beach and
162
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,800
it's raining and it's like,
well, this is what a wonderful
163
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,200
start to a beautiful.
Relationship.
164
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,240
I mean, it's just, it's just
raining, right?
165
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,880
So there's a, there's an outside
bar there and I'm talking to the
166
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,800
guy and he's making me, what the
hell are those things?
167
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,440
Strawberry daiquiris and stuff
like that at 11:00 in the
168
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,720
morning and I'm sitting on the
beach.
169
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:32,880
It's, it's 90 degrees, 85° and
it's pouring and I'm in my, and
170
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,680
I'm just sitting there by my,
there's nobody else there.
171
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,120
The, the place is full.
I'm getting hammered on the
172
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,160
beach and I'm like, fuck it, I'm
just going to do this.
173
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,120
This is great.
It was just, it was a, and I
174
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,080
said, you know what?
She's sick.
175
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,160
She didn't feel good.
There's nothing.
176
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,080
We're not going to do anything.
We're not going to go anywhere,
177
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:50,840
and she doesn't want to be
bothered.
178
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:57,080
So it was like, oh, OK.
Banana Daiquiri in my time has
179
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,040
been proven to be the best
daiquiri.
180
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,720
Yeah, I think you're right.
I think you're right.
181
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,760
I don't know why I don't like
banana like that either, but yet
182
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,080
the banana daiquiri is
something.
183
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,680
It knows what it is, it knows
who it is, it knows where it
184
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:15,800
belongs, and it's delicious.
Every single.
185
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:22,400
Time we had those, the best ones
I've ever had in at the top of
186
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:27,040
Saint Thomas, at the very tippy
top of Saint Thomas, there's
187
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,920
like a, a, there's a restaurant
at the top and they make and you
188
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,800
see this guy with just bushels
of bananas.
189
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,000
You know how they come out.
Oh yeah, yeah, I know exactly
190
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,320
what you're.
Saying and they're all rotten
191
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,520
and he's pulling them out and
he's stuffing them in a blender
192
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,720
and just, and he has the half
gallon of rum and something else
193
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,240
and he's pouring it in there and
stuffing them and just, and then
194
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,000
he pours it out and then he
throws in a bunch of them and he
195
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,200
pours and it's, and it's the way
he poured the rum was basically
196
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:01,320
just, and then set it down and
then stuff, stuff as many
197
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,840
bananas as he could in the
blender.
198
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,360
And and that's everybody's
order.
199
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,040
What do you want?
I want a beer.
200
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,680
No, you got a you want a banana
daiquiri?
201
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:11,560
No, I want AI want a, a martini.
OK, I'll make you banana
202
00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:13,680
daiquiri.
And that's all I'm gonna make.
203
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:17,040
And he made, he was just, but he
was blindingly fast.
204
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,520
I mean, you would say banana
daiquiri.
205
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,520
And he literally would peel 4
bananas, 5 bananas, stuff them
206
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,840
in the blender, throw the rum in
and put, put in a little scoop
207
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,320
of ice and go and then pour it
in your glass.
208
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,000
And you're like, and they were
the best daiquiris I've ever,
209
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,520
ever.
I mean, they were amazing.
210
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,120
You were like just a new level
of happiness.
211
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,640
And we got up there.
I remember we got there on that
212
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,480
side of the island, you could
see there was a hurricane.
213
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,120
I forgot Hugo I think was before
or something like that, before
214
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,840
we got married.
And that whole side of the
215
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,640
island, all the roofs were gone.
They were all just blue tarps.
216
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,360
Weather, A lot of weather.
Wow.
217
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:01,800
Yeah.
I'm just thinking of the
218
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,640
different weather.
You've you've had bad weather
219
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,000
out there.
You've had fires.
220
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,880
Yeah, as soon as I moved out
here.
221
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,920
That's not weather, that's.
A biblical storm.
222
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,760
It rained for like 3 weeks or
something or two weeks and then
223
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,600
recently it started raining
again for like 5 days straight.
224
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,920
It's the three-year rain gush.
Yeah, I don't.
225
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,400
I don't know what it is.
Happens like every three years.
226
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,400
And then what was the other one?
Oh, Sicily.
227
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,000
Sicily was crazier.
Oh yeah.
228
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,920
I remember that when we went to
the top of what's the mountain
229
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:34,760
there?
Aetna.
230
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,800
Aetna we went to Mount Aetna.
We go to the top or near the
231
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,120
top, whatever the hell we and
we're hiking out and then it's
232
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,760
raining and then we and we we
get a little wet and then we're.
233
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,720
You muted yourself.
There we go.
234
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:51,480
Good, good.
You're good.
235
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,880
We, we, we hit it, you know, we
get back in the vehicle and he's
236
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,520
driving down the mountain and
it's, what was it, 81012 inches
237
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,520
of water it's.
Not built for that either.
238
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,360
Yeah, you what?
It's not built for that because
239
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,440
they have like these volcano
walls that are like these
240
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,800
retaining walls that don't have
any drainage.
241
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,080
And they were supposed to keep
the lava in.
242
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,440
That was the point of the high
walls on the side and the high
243
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,000
driveway.
So the lava would fall into the
244
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,120
road and run to the bottom right
into the ocean.
245
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:30,080
Well, this was nothing but water
filled and it was, you know, 14.
246
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,840
I mean, it's a foot.
It was at least a foot.
247
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,640
And he's driving through it and
his Range Rover and we're in it
248
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,800
and he's just like, whoa.
And we're like, have you ever
249
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,040
seen anything like that?
I mean, when's the last time you
250
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,520
saw something like this?
And he goes, well, I've only
251
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,600
been here for 30 years and
never.
252
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:51,200
Like whoa, it is weird that
anywhere I go it just seems to
253
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,840
rain all the time.
Well, you've you destroy a lot
254
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:55,520
of things.
You.
255
00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:57,000
Oh, it's crazy.
Yeah.
256
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,640
I know.
Everything you did with COVID
257
00:13:58,880 --> 00:13:59,760
ever done.
Yeah.
258
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,840
It's been met with just utter
obstacles.
259
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,360
Yep.
You.
260
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,160
In your high school, you made
all the administrators have sex
261
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,240
with each other.
That was so weird, yeah.
262
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,880
Yeah, I don't know why you made
that happen.
263
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,280
Yeah, with.
In hindsight, too, I'm like,
264
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,160
this is like, I used to think
these things were normal.
265
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,360
And yeah, they're, they're not.
They're not.
266
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,840
Yeah, that was so weird at my
high school that you had
267
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,560
management sleeping with people
that were kind of like
268
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,040
underling.
They weren't kind of underlings.
269
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:31,840
They were underlings.
And then they would get
270
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,240
promotions.
They can't do them sleeping.
271
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,640
Crazy and And the board knew it.
Oh, the board knew it well that.
272
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,960
Was the thing that was for.
About the head honcho, The
273
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,080
principal sleeping with the
secretary, giving her free
274
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,360
tuition, I mean.
But there was going on all over.
275
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,800
You had the the head of the
whole, what was it?
276
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,400
The head of education?
Mary's the head of the English
277
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,120
area.
And you're like, what?
278
00:14:59,120 --> 00:14:59,560
Yeah, yeah.
I.
279
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:00,640
Remember that.
Remember that.
280
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,280
And you know what, come on
anywhere else, people like that,
281
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:09,520
once it becomes known they
leave, they get fired because
282
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,800
you, you should not be able to
be having sex and sleeping with
283
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:18,360
someone's destination that you
have, that you have, that you
284
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,160
have input into their outcome.
It's just.
285
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:21,840
It's wrong no matter what you
do.
286
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,160
And I don't care.
Well, well, we had an
287
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,000
independent.
No, no, it doesn't work that
288
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,160
way.
You would say when you have an
289
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,680
independent group, they would
not want to make the guy in
290
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,240
charge be unhappy, so they would
give his wife more So.
291
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,360
So bullshit.
Don't you can't, you can't get
292
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:44,000
around that impropriety.
And it's like, it it, it pisses
293
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,040
people off.
And also anybody that looks from
294
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,400
the outside, looks at the
situation like me, knows that
295
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:56,320
people were fucked, that lost
because that happened. 100%
296
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:57,960
there were people.
That did better jobs, that
297
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,880
didn't get raises.
There were people that did
298
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,200
better things that didn't get it
because they got it.
299
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,600
So whatever you want to say,
it's it's wrong.
300
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,240
You know, it's just wrong.
It definitely is, yeah, without
301
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:10,720
a doubt.
Kind of.
302
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,800
Man, I am just such a moral
voice.
303
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,760
It's amazing, isn't it?
You're master of ethics, that's
304
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,520
what it is.
Amazing, Mr. Mr. Do right.
305
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:25,840
Shockingly, it, it's like the
reason that I feel one of the
306
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:31,400
key reasons that I feel that
I've been so done well or
307
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,920
financially rewarded well in
business is that I've always
308
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,080
been ethical.
I don't, you know, I've, I've
309
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,840
had people try to come and pay
to play and I'm like, no, you
310
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:51,000
know, and, and I've had people,
you know, want to tell lies
311
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,800
about things and, and propagate
them.
312
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,640
No, you know, and it's just
like, as long as that kind of
313
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,920
stuff that would put more money
in my pocket if I lied or put
314
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,520
more money in my pocket if I
cheated or put more money in my
315
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:08,119
pocket if I pay people, I I just
no, wouldn't do it, you know,
316
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,599
and it's I, I feel like that is
been, you know, part of it, but
317
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:17,000
there's a lot of people that
cheat and steal and actually do
318
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,839
OK, so.
Yeah, that's a every billionaire
319
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,079
ever made Well.
No, I wouldn't say it.
320
00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:24,680
You can't.
You can't say.
321
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,040
Most, I'm going to say most.
You got to wonder, get to that
322
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,600
level of wealth.
You have to.
323
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,320
Well, here's the thing.
You.
324
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:37,600
Lead You lead by example and
people see you and they do
325
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,880
things that they think you would
like.
326
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:49,400
So if you lead hard, they will
be twice as hard, four times as
327
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,480
hard.
If you if you lead and you're
328
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:57,000
kind of a little sketchy on
rules, they will be, there will
329
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,280
be no rules.
So you notice when you're when
330
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,240
you're in a position of power
authority, when you're pushing
331
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,640
forward and somebody, somebody
wants to and they're following
332
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:12,040
you, they will want your praise
and attention and they will
333
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,480
believe that they will get it.
And you're seeing it right now
334
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,240
with the whole ice thing right
out there.
335
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,160
The reason there's so much more
brutal is because it's, it's not
336
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,400
only it the, the administration
rewards it.
337
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,480
They're they're they're they're,
they're making them, you know,
338
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:30,560
they don't wear full military
gear masks because they're not
339
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,000
required to.
They are required to wear that.
340
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,840
They used to wear windbreakers,
OK.
341
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,920
They changed the gear to make
them more militarized.
342
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:46,120
So, you know, I'm just.
Kind of confused why are they
343
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:51,200
allowed to wear masks now when
in 2020 everybody hated masks.
344
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,480
Nobody wanted to wear the masks
kind.
345
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,440
Of.
Kind of interesting, kind of
346
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,760
interesting like that.
Well, I saw something recently
347
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,440
about it.
It's interesting now that we're
348
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,440
talking about weather and it
kind of goes into ice, is the
349
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,280
whole idea that.
Ice is a precipitation, so.
350
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:12,000
You have people that came from
the Proud Boys and you have
351
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,200
people that came from J6 and the
reason you don't see the reason
352
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,400
they're wearing masks is they
don't want you to know if it's
353
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,440
the same people.
And which would be a good
354
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,640
question to put to anybody in
authority or any anybody in
355
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:29,520
oversight is, well, how many
members of ICE are former J
356
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,120
Sixers or Proud Boys, you know,
or Oath Keepers?
357
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,680
Or KKK.
Yeah, or K, well, I don't know
358
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:41,160
if there's a, I'm, I'm sure
there, there used to be a, a
359
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,520
facilitator for the KKK, but I,
I, I imagine they don't even
360
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:45,920
consider it a terrorist
organization.
361
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:50,320
I don't think that they do and
they I think they de categorized
362
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,520
it about a year ago or two
years.
363
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,680
Ago, that's the one they took
out and then they added they.
364
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,800
Added Black Panthers They.
No, no, they added BLM and
365
00:19:58,800 --> 00:19:59,360
you're like.
What?
366
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:00,320
Oh, they did?
Really.
367
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,600
Yeah, like wow, that's just so
weird.
368
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,480
But hey, it is what it is.
How does it affect the weather?
369
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,520
I'm not quite sure what's the
weirdest.
370
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:16,000
I had the quickest weather and
most unexpected weather for me
371
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:21,800
would have to be probably 4
years into being married to
372
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:26,480
Valerie.
We went to Tampa, brother-in-law
373
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,680
had a place down there and we
stayed at it.
374
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,960
We went out one day and and I
said, hey, let's rent a boat and
375
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,200
go out into the Tampa area, the
Bay Area there and go out to one
376
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:41,680
of the islands that have lunch.
And so we go and they didn't say
377
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,040
anything.
And I'd never ridden a boat
378
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,800
before and it was a pontoon
boat, like 20 foot pontoon boat
379
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,120
with a little pop on and all
that kind of crap like that.
380
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,600
And I paid the guy and we go hop
on the boat.
381
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,520
We're driving out and nobody is
out there.
382
00:20:54,360 --> 00:20:57,640
Seems kind of odd, you know?
And we get out and about in the
383
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:05,160
middle of the, the big, huge
Tampa Bay Bay Area and there's
384
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,880
not a soul and it, and it
doesn't like, I don't notice it
385
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,760
at first.
I noticed it later, but it was
386
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:17,520
like, you know, all of a sudden
it starts raining and it's like,
387
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,240
wow, what do we, what do?
We could just go over to the
388
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,000
shore over there and wait for it
to pass through.
389
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,920
Then there's Whitecaps.
I mean, inside of like 2 minutes
390
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,320
there's like a little waves,
like about about four to six
391
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,480
inches on the Bay.
It's weird.
392
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,280
You know, you're seeing white
water in a Bay Area.
393
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:40,280
And then very, very quickly, in
about 5 minutes more, they're
394
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,280
about a foot and a half too fat.
And it's like, OK, we're going
395
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,080
to turn right, go back.
So we turn around and as we turn
396
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,760
around and we start heading back
in, the wind comes.
397
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,840
The wind's starting to get real
bad.
398
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,600
The wind's hitting.
So then we're now at about four
399
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:58,480
foot waves, the top, the canopy,
it was over, rips off the top
400
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:03,160
and it's gone, disappears.
The wife and I, we are sitting
401
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,520
and and the waves are 4 to 5
feet.
402
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,440
When you go up in the wave,
you're looking at the sky and
403
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:10,600
then you're looking at the
water.
404
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:15,680
And I'm aiming towards getting
to the shore, the closest shore
405
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,920
that I can get to.
And I have to do this by hitting
406
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,560
the waves head on 'cause if I go
sideways, you wouldn't think it,
407
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:28,000
but this pontoon boat was, was
doing, it was, it was probably
408
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,040
at about a 70° angle.
We had, I had, they had a seat
409
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,800
belt on where your driver's seat
was.
410
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,480
She was on my lap.
No, I sat her and then I sat on
411
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,800
top of her and I strapped this
in.
412
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,200
That's how crazy it was.
We were so freaked out.
413
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,880
And we're driving in and I'm
trying to get in and, and I
414
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,400
said, if it flips, I'm going to
open this thing up and we're
415
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,480
going to make it to the surface
and we're going to go to shore.
416
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,160
And we had our belts, we had our
things on too.
417
00:22:55,160 --> 00:23:02,400
So, but whatever.
So we get to the the little
418
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:07,000
canal, we get in and it's
halfway up the canal to where
419
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,560
the boats was, stops raining,
wind stops blowing.
420
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:17,000
We pull in and the guy's like
looking at us like big eyes,
421
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,800
like, oh fuck, we shouldn't have
let him have the boat.
422
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,400
And we get out and we're like,
Oh my God.
423
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:24,960
And he said, well, we'll give
you a refund.
424
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,720
He didn't say anything about the
canopy.
425
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,080
I didn't say anything about the
canopy.
426
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,240
We go out and we get a taxi to
go back.
427
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,400
Guy comes pick us up and goes,
you were on the water.
428
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,920
There was like a there was a
warning all over that no one was
429
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,360
supposed to go out.
And I'm like, really?
430
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,080
And he said, they didn't tell
you they rented you a boat and
431
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,920
sent you out there.
That's that's wrong.
432
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:48,720
And I said, well, they didn't
charge us, so we didn't do
433
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,760
anything.
But you know, at the end of the
434
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:56,760
that it was just like, but it
was probably it was half an hour
435
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,520
of sheer terror.
It was just, and I don't know if
436
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:05,800
you know, Florida storms, they
come, they hit incredibly hard
437
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,760
like just, I mean Iron
Jacksonville, they would, they
438
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:14,240
would come in and, and Jax Beach
area and they would flood the
439
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:19,600
streets downtown Jax Beach and
it would, you know, foot deep
440
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,560
water and it would come at 3:00
in the afternoon.
441
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:27,440
It would rain till like 330 like
just kissing buckets of water.
442
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:34,240
Just you are soaking wet in 30
seconds and then and by 4, by
443
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,160
4:00 it's all it's dropped, it's
done, sun comes out.
444
00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:42,400
I mean, just like it never
happened by 5:00, you cannot
445
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,040
tell that it rained.
It's just, it's, it's amazing
446
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:51,400
how quickly it it comes and it's
ferocious and then it's gone and
447
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,880
it's just like, wow, if that
ferocious stays around, which in
448
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,440
hurricanes it tends to do that
sometimes, you know, I think
449
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:04,600
about like we didn't see, you
know, the cyclone of New Zealand
450
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,400
was hard rain, but nothing
really crazy.
451
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,800
I mean, I drove through it.
I didn't have any big deal with
452
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,400
it.
And I'm thinking snowstorms
453
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,960
we've driven through, you know,
like sevens brings it snow to
454
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,280
low snow.
Was on the Bay Bridge in the
455
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,800
worst storm I've ever seen in my
life and the lightning was
456
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,960
hitting the bridge and every
time it hit the bridge you
457
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,520
couldn't see anything 'cause
you're so close to the
458
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,720
lightning.
And meanwhile I'm doing 10 miles
459
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,240
an hour 'cause it's pouring so
hard.
460
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,040
And if you go faster, you
hydroplane.
461
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:45,440
And so I'm kind of hydroplaning
and I'm driving and people are
462
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,640
just like, what is going on?
I felt like that was the only
463
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,160
time I've ever been scared
driving.
464
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,520
I think where I was like, maybe
we should have rented a hotel or
465
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,120
something like that 'cause it
was not worth it.
466
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,360
But everybody was doing 10 miles
an hour from the start of the
467
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:04,800
bridge until after the bridge.
And you don't really.
468
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,920
I've never been scared of
heights, but when you're doing
469
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,520
10 miles an hour on top of the
bridge, it allows you to see
470
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,640
over the sides pretty, pretty
clearly.
471
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,320
And it's pitch black and you see
nothing, but you know that
472
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,600
you're what, like 12 stories in
the air or something like that.
473
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,800
So not not 12, a lot more.
Is it more than 12?
474
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,240
Yes.
Oh God, like 40 stories or
475
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,080
something.
Yeah, it's scary as shit.
476
00:26:27,360 --> 00:26:28,760
It's.
And yeah, that.
477
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,400
That was terrible.
Yeah.
478
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:35,600
But we made it home and yeah, I
was really happy that I was not
479
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,960
under the influence while I was
driving then.
480
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,040
That was very happy because I
think it was like 21 or
481
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,800
something or 20.
No, it wasn't even 21 yet.
482
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,880
I think it was like 19 or 20.
No, I was 21.
483
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:48,720
I was 21.
Yeah.
484
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,400
But what are the ones?
That was interesting.
485
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:57,520
I was just thinking of a couple.
I remember the beach.
486
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,520
You never, I mean, I went there
after big snowstorms.
487
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,600
I don't remember big huge crazy
storms while I was there.
488
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,040
I think about what were the what
were the other ones?
489
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,200
Santa Cruz.
We were doing the coast from LA
490
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,200
to San Francisco and we stayed
in Santa Cruz one night because
491
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,840
it was getting kind of crappy
rain.
492
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,760
So we, we were in a hotel and it
was a flop house really for the
493
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,760
most part.
It wasn't really one of the
494
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,000
crazy Richie Rich places I stay
now.
495
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,040
And we went out on the pier and
the pier had a bar and I
496
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,120
remember watching the sun go
down and the, and it was
497
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,040
pouring.
I mean, it just started the, the
498
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,680
skies opened up and what?
And your mother and I were
499
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,840
having martinis watching the
waves and everything.
500
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:49,800
And just, it was just really a
really cool time to see Mother
501
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:55,240
Nature at through glass and in a
warm establishment, you know?
502
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,040
It's always better than you
know.
503
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,320
Yeah, it is.
It's better than being cold.
504
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:02,040
I don't think I've ever pitched
a tent in the rain.
505
00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:03,760
I don't think I've ever done
that.
506
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:11,080
Have you ever done that?
I have a cold rain pitched.
507
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:18,000
Yes, I have.
When we went to Outer Banks, I
508
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,400
went down there with my first
real roommate.
509
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,560
We went to Outer Banks.
He had a, he said he always want
510
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,280
to go and I'd never been.
I said, let's go.
511
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,720
And we went down there camping
and we showed up and it was
512
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,400
pouring rain and we got out and
we set up the tents in the
513
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,800
pouring rain, got in, everything
was wet, everything was muddy.
514
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,520
And and then I realized that I
didn't like to sleep next to
515
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,040
people that snore.
That's when I snore too.
516
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,720
But we got hammered.
We got stoned, it got hammered,
517
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:53,640
and then we passed out.
And then the most horrible time
518
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,040
in the world, as soon as the
rain stopped.
519
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:03,040
It's like the mosquitoes from
hell just showed up so bad in
520
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,960
the tent because I think he left
the door open when he pissed or
521
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,360
so I don't know.
Or I did.
522
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,120
I have no idea.
I got my sleeping bag and I go
523
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,880
and I lay on the beach.
The thing I didn't know is that
524
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,560
there's two things about weather
when you're sleeping on the
525
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:25,120
beach, when the when the air is
blowing in from the ocean, no
526
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:30,520
big deal, no mosquitoes.
But when the air is blowing from
527
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:35,760
the land into the ocean, it's
bug heaven.
528
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,520
And they were.
All over me.
529
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:42,520
And I was just like stuck trying
to hide in my sleeping bag and,
530
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,680
and it was wet, but I didn't
give a shit because I was trying
531
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,200
not to get eaten.
And then we, I think we, we
532
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,800
ended up staying there one
night.
533
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:54,880
And then he, I have a picture of
him cooking hot dogs, holding an
534
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,760
umbrella while he's smoking a
cigarette and has a beer.
535
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,000
You know he's got 3.
Hands.
536
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,160
Why didn't you?
Why didn't you sleep in the car,
537
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,440
you know?
Because it was like a Mustang
538
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,520
too, which it just was not
conducive to sleep.
539
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,800
It'd be like sleeping in a, you
know, and he's.
540
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,440
Sleeping on the wet ground in
YEAH flat was better.
541
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,040
Flat makes a difference.
It really does.
542
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,480
It does.
Well, you can't recline the
543
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,440
seats.
No, no, you couldn't.
544
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,960
Back then you couldn't.
I mean, there was no reclining
545
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,160
seats.
My God, do you Rich?
546
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,120
People.
Think you have everything you
547
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,840
know?
There was no reclining.
548
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,320
Seats.
No, I don't remember any seat
549
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,720
that we had that if if they had
a a switch on the side.
550
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:41,600
Not until I got married, I mean,
no, my Hyundai, my Hyundai, my
551
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,600
my 86th Hyundai that had
adjustable seats up and back by
552
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,800
not, not flat, not going back.
Yeah.
553
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:49,840
Yeah, yeah.
That's what I was thinking
554
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,680
about.
Not even the electric ones, but
555
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,680
just the the handle.
You know what I'm talking about.
556
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,880
Yeah, that's all you really want
to do is go flat if you can and
557
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:58,920
it would seem like everybody.
Was.
558
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:04,040
Flat, you know, but 'cause then
you could truly have good sex in
559
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:08,080
a car, you know?
I mean, that was the good thing
560
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:16,040
about the 86 Hyundai when I
bought it, is it was a great
561
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,640
place to have sex in the
passenger's seat.
562
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,520
You can go all the way back the
good old days, you know.
563
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,120
People, people love hearing
that.
564
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,960
Oh my gosh, people love that.
He's old and smells.
565
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:32,600
This is going to be the Yeah
synopsis on the Spotify.
566
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:34,800
What is this?
What the?
567
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,240
Weather, what's he talking about
now or what other kind of, I
568
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,040
mean, when you think about weird
weather that that's hit you or
569
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,520
affected you, I remember that
Snowstorms.
570
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:50,600
Was it mostly snow?
I'm thinking, oh, I remember
571
00:31:51,200 --> 00:32:00,520
going to New York in 8786, No
8087, maybe 87, and I was dating
572
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,800
somebody out of Texas and she
was redoing bonds.
573
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:10,120
They did something called
rollovers and she had $440
574
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:14,320
million of bonds and she's
taking them to Chase.
575
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:15,840
You take them to the bank
itself.
576
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,880
And then when the, when the, the
Cusips, they, they change that
577
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,120
they, they do this thing called
rollover, which is they replace
578
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:24,560
the old bonds with the new
bonds.
579
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,920
And so, and they'd get them
replaced every, their
580
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,160
mortgage-backed bonds.
You know, they're 10 year, 20
581
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,960
year, 30 year.
And so when they come to
582
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:36,200
maturity, they, they, they start
a new, a new tranche.
583
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,400
Anyway, they were taking the
bonds.
584
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,880
She, she would, she was
deliverer of the bonds.
585
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:44,240
And these were not the bearer
bonds.
586
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:45,520
I was looking for the bearer
bonds.
587
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,680
If I could have found somebody
with bearer bonds that have been
588
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,680
different.
Anyway, I met her at the Essex
589
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:56,440
House and it snowed and we got
stuck there for like 3 or 4
590
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:02,160
nights and it was just amazing
because New York stopped, which
591
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:06,200
is generally doesn't do, but it
was, it was the train stopped.
592
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:11,000
That's how bad the snow was.
You know, and I think about that
593
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,280
have been mid 80s now.
I can't imagine the, the only
594
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:15,760
thing that stops New York is
floods.
595
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,520
You know, snow just slows it
down because the whole time it
596
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,600
worked an Intellij for like 10
years out of New York and it
597
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,640
snowed.
It was so beautiful the first
598
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,480
couple hours because it's just,
you know, it's wow.
599
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,120
It's all this beautiful color
and lights and snow dropping and
600
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:35,040
covering everything.
All the filthy, nasty garbage
601
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:40,320
and puke and just disgusting
pieces of humanity everywhere.
602
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:45,240
It's covered with white snow.
And so for about an hour and a
603
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,360
half, it's an amazing place.
It's the tittiest place in the
604
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,720
world.
And then the stuff melts and
605
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,560
it's just it, it never goes down
the gutter.
606
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,880
And so this, so the corner,
every corner is filled with this
607
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,760
soupy gunk that you can't tell
how deep it is until you step
608
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,480
into it.
So in the winter time you don't
609
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:10,880
wear loafers or like regular
leather shoes if you want to
610
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,360
keep them you.
Shouldn't wear leather shoes in
611
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,360
winter anyway?
I've done that and, and I've
612
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,400
done it because I had and I had
to impress people.
613
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:19,480
Yeah.
And, and I did.
614
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,120
I just, I stepped in one of
those things and my foot went
615
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,159
underwater and it filled with
water.
616
00:34:25,159 --> 00:34:27,199
And it was.
You know, you're talking about
617
00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:30,320
the little off the sidewalks
where you have all the melted
618
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,639
snow that's like black water.
Oh my God.
619
00:34:32,639 --> 00:34:35,040
Black mush, Yeah.
And you can't tell how deep it
620
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,120
is until you step in it and then
it's.
621
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:38,520
Like it's always a foot deep
too.
622
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:39,560
It's always.
The amazing.
623
00:34:39,639 --> 00:34:41,080
Thing that you've ever seen in
your life?
624
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,080
Yeah, it's crazy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
625
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,040
That's why you need boots.
And that's why all women in New
626
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,239
York start wearing boots really,
really quick.
627
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:50,679
And like, what the Hell's that
all about?
628
00:34:50,679 --> 00:34:53,760
It's, you know, it's such and
such and like, no, I mean, it's,
629
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:59,600
it's Scoogeville here.
When it's I have a conspiracy in
630
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:04,520
Virginia, the people that salt
the roads want you to not go to
631
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:09,120
work because sometimes they salt
the roads the night before.
632
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:13,160
Very rarely do they do that.
And then I think they say, oh,
633
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,840
we're going to do it again.
They never do.
634
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,200
And every time there's like an
inch and a half of snow, it's
635
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,160
the end of the world.
It's crazy.
636
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,760
Same thing with DC.
Well, you think, I think.
637
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,320
The infrastructure for it.
I think that the that there's a
638
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,520
Bunny situation there.
Oh, interesting.
639
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:34,040
I think that we, we allot
$1,000,000 for clearing the
640
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:38,480
roads, right?
And so it that's put away, put
641
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,440
into a bank and that's what
we're saving.
642
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,960
And then all of a sudden it
doesn't snow in December and it
643
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,000
doesn't snow in January.
And then all of a sudden
644
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,320
February, there's kind of a
ghost of a mist and it's like
645
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,000
all the trucks are out and
everything's around and
646
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,480
everything's sprayed six ways
from Sunday.
647
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,880
And you're like, they're
spending that money, you know,
648
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,720
they're, they start salting the
roads and it's raining or
649
00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:01,360
something, you know, like, what
the hell are you doing?
650
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,120
It's like we're spending last
year's budget.
651
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,600
We want to get more, you know,
And then, and then usually what
652
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,840
happens is they cut the budget
2, two years in a row and then
653
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,040
all of a sudden a big Snoke
happens and then everybody's
654
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,680
stuck, you know, but they've
been pretty good here.
655
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,320
I mean, you know, we, we, they,
they cleared our Rd.
656
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,120
Sunday.
You know, I was, you know, we,
657
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,680
we, we ended up hiring somebody
to, to chop out the ice because
658
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,640
I made that mistake in it, the
whole driveway.
659
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,960
And as I've said, my, my
driveway is 40 yards long and
660
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,360
it's uphill.
And it was solid ice.
661
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,480
It was 5 inches ice and they
came down and with their hammers
662
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:45,720
and four guys dug it out.
Couple 100 bucks but they did it
663
00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:48,320
in like an hour.
I remember when they had to hire
664
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:53,280
people from West Virginia.
You come down, Was it 2012 or
665
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,160
was it after that?
I think, I think it was after
666
00:36:55,160 --> 00:37:00,200
that they hired people from West
Virginia with a a giant.
667
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:01,520
I can't even remember what it
was.
668
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,120
It was a giant machine.
It wasn't like Unloader.
669
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,240
Yeah, I think it was.
A lot of those, a lot of 950
670
00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:11,720
fives that the older ones like
the I think it's, I can't
671
00:37:11,720 --> 00:37:15,800
remember the brand yellow, not
Caterpillar, but they were 955
672
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,920
front end loaders and they have
a 1 yard bucket and they would
673
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,800
use them to and they get like 6
or 8 of them in the road and
674
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:27,880
they would drive down 495 or 95
and shovel and just take up
675
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,680
everything they could to get it
off the road.
676
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,480
And I mean, the problem is, is
that where there's no place to
677
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:39,720
put it, you know, or it's too
far away, you know, I mean, So
678
00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:41,480
what they really want to do is,
well, this is.
679
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,880
Just for our street.
I remember this is for our
680
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,800
street.
Well, when I was coming home
681
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:52,200
last last night, no night before
morning before Thursday morning,
682
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:57,360
which was yesterday, right?
I drove mom off yesterday and
683
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:01,720
when I was coming home they
didn't they, they have like 1
684
00:38:01,720 --> 00:38:05,800
1/2 lanes.
So people will tailgate you and
685
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,080
try to pass you and they'll try
to get you to move over into the
686
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,560
half lane so they can go past
you on the Parkway.
687
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,840
Well, coming back, it was pretty
clear.
688
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:21,520
And so I'm in the fast lane and
somebody else is in the and A
689
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:26,000
and a person is dead stopped in
a fast lane with their blinkers
690
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,040
on.
And I'm like, I, you know, I've
691
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,920
been driving that road 40 years.
I've never seen that.
692
00:38:31,240 --> 00:38:35,520
I've never seen somebody with
their flashers on in the fast
693
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:40,040
lane.
It's now meanwhile it is 610.
694
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,400
So it's black.
It's the sun doesn't rise till
695
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,560
7:30.
So it's black outside.
696
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,600
There are no lights on the
Parkway.
697
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,320
So you're going up and it's
dark.
698
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,400
It's real dark except for your
lights.
699
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,200
And you see these blinking
lights, you know, 100 meters as
700
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,760
you come around the corner, see
and you're, and you're right and
701
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,000
we're going 55 or something like
that.
702
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,480
So you're, you're moving on it
fast.
703
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:07,720
So then I hit my brake and I
slow down and I'm like cool, I
704
00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:10,080
didn't hit them.
And then I'm like and I look at
705
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,640
my rear view mirror immediately
like fuck, fuck, hit the brakes,
706
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,880
hit the brakes and then you boom
like a little crunch hit the
707
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:22,400
rear end passenger side, you
know, jumped out.
708
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,200
And this is the weird thing.
People are going around his and
709
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:30,760
my car at 50 miles an hour.
So I'm out there real quick
710
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,760
looking around the car.
I don't see any cracked anything
711
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,960
and nothing, nothing's wrong.
I look at it, I do it twice.
712
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:41,240
I have my my phone with the
light going across the rear
713
00:39:41,240 --> 00:39:42,360
bumper because that's where he
hit it.
714
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,800
And he goes, wow, I did, you
know, I thought I heard it.
715
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,320
You know, I'm like, must have
nothing.
716
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,840
Get back in, drive off.
As soon as I drive off, the wind
717
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:54,120
catches the the Fender and pulls
it out and pulls it loose
718
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,320
because all the fasteners were
broken, which I didn't realize
719
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,800
that.
So the rear bumper is and then,
720
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,640
but I only got his name.
I never I did.
721
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,720
I did the cardinal rule of
something that you should never
722
00:40:04,720 --> 00:40:07,800
do if you're ever in an accident
and doesn't look like anything's
723
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,160
wrong.
Still get the person's name and
724
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,480
information.
I should have done that.
725
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:12,760
I didn't do that.
That's stupid.
726
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,320
I have to pay for it myself.
Well, actually, I'm going to use
727
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,680
your inheritance, Zach.
Oh, well, thank you.
728
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,080
No.
My fuck up is going to cost you
729
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:25,440
$2000 and or Valerie, I can't
figure out who I'm going to
730
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,160
charge for that.
But anyway, anyway, I'm I'm
731
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,160
going to charge you guys for it
because I made a mistake.
732
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,880
But I learned something to
always get information and I'm
733
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,440
lucky enough that it's not going
to, you know, bankrupt me or
734
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,520
anything.
And hey, I mean, I did Steven a
735
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:39,720
solid.
That was his name.
736
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:41,600
I said, hey, what's your name?
And he goes, Steven.
737
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,120
I go, hi, I'm Phil.
I guess we're lucky.
738
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:50,040
No harm, no foul.
You can always take a picture of
739
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,800
the license plate.
Yeah, yeah, We think that.
740
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,680
I was standing there with a
phone right in front of his car,
741
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,960
and I couldn't even tell you.
It looked like it was a Beamer,
742
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:03,400
You know, I think it was
Maryland plates.
743
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:08,360
Of course, he was a nice guy.
He seemed very nice.
744
00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:10,320
He apologized to his guy.
He goes, I'm sorry.
745
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:11,320
I couldn't stop.
I tried.
746
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:16,400
And I'm like, fuck you, bitch.
Learn how to fucking drive.
747
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:21,480
That's what you got to do and.
He was like, I'm sorry, no, no,
748
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,480
I didn't do that.
I was like, you know, whatever.
749
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,400
But I didn't see any stuff.
Drove off and I had to pay the
750
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,520
consequences.
But the hey, that's life, you
751
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:33,920
know?
Yeah, I mean, it's not the first
752
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,840
accident, but I'm not hurt, you
know, maybe.
753
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,040
It'll be the last, you never
know.
754
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,440
Well, yeah, I think my last
accident is when I die.
755
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,080
I'm hoping.
You know.
756
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,320
The old I'll be messing around
with.
757
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,760
I'll be messing around with a
firearm and not know that it's
758
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,440
loaded.
Oops, I always look down the
759
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:55,000
barrel to see if it's loaded.
I I look down the barrel and
760
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,240
pull the trigger.
Yep, it's empty.
761
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,000
What are you going to do?
If it's not, Oh well.
762
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:07,920
That's not the guy at the the
firing range that was shooting.
763
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,360
It was so funny.
I love this video.
764
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,760
He's like shooting and then he,
the guy's like, you hold it like
765
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,960
this and he's like, like what?
And then he turns around, he has
766
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,840
a load of firearm.
He's pointing at the guy.
767
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,360
Well, you see that, you know,
But I was, I was surprised when
768
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,400
I remember when we were on the
firing range, you and me.
769
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,280
Yeah.
What is that Quantico?
770
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,840
Oh yeah, I remember the guy, the
range master or whoever the guy
771
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,480
was that he was teaching that
taught me how to shoot a with a
772
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,360
handgun.
I mean, I was shocked that, you
773
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:42,600
know, 10 minutes of lessons just
made it so much easier.
774
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,520
Yeah, these times there's
professionals that have been
775
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:49,320
doing it for 40 years, so.
Yeah, but I went from no plates
776
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:54,360
at 25 feet to five out of six.
So amazing.
777
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:59,080
And it was just how to shoot,
how to hold the weapon, how to
778
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:04,080
when to aim, what to do with
your breathing function when
779
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:09,400
you're when you're aiming, just
silly little four or five little
780
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:10,840
things.
But you got to do them.
781
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,960
It's just like golf.
If you do them perfectly, you
782
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,040
get a good shot.
If you don't do them, you know,
783
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,480
you just like you bend your
knees, you one, you got to be
784
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,680
got to hold your club belt right
behind the ball.
785
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,320
It's got to be you got to take a
steady swing back and forward,
786
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,080
you know, and you got to do all
those 17 things.
787
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,600
And if you do, you get a tiger,
Tiger Woods hit, you know, but
788
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:34,520
unfortunately we get one of
those a game, not 18.
789
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,800
So or 40 or 70 shots, you know,
70 swings.
790
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:40,680
That's what you get.
You don't you get, you get a
791
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,560
couple, two or three that are
good and that makes you come
792
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:47,840
back the next day exactly like
weather, you know, weather.
793
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:49,920
I'm trying to think of anything
else.
794
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:51,920
What are the other horrible
weather things?
795
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:56,760
Oh, when Edwin and I went scuba
diving first time, he was going
796
00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:02,200
to teach me and we, we, we, we
bought the tanks through the
797
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,080
mail and I'm just not certified.
When he was certified, we went
798
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,560
to Florida, we went to the
springs and then we went to a
799
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:14,600
place called Troy, Troy Springs.
They had had a flooding and, and
800
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,200
hurricane had hit the week
before we got there.
801
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:22,360
And this would have been in 71
or 7074 probably.
802
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,880
I was probably 16 then because I
think I was driving.
803
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:29,040
So that would have been 76
anyway.
804
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,720
Yeah, I was smoking weed.
Yeah, it was 76 anyway.
805
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:38,880
And we were driving the old Fury
and we went to Branford.
806
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,360
We go, we go into the Troy
Springs, which is just off the
807
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,720
Swanee River.
It's like 100 feet deep.
808
00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:48,360
It's like a straight down thing.
And it's got 1 cave in the side
809
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:49,760
of it.
And we're there and there's a
810
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,200
cop there and it's the end of
the day.
811
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,240
It's like 4 or five.
And we're just looking going
812
00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:55,320
like, yeah, we're going to go
dive and you're not going to go
813
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:56,080
dive an hour.
Yeah.
814
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,000
And I'm going like, Nah, we're
going to wait till the morning
815
00:44:58,720 --> 00:45:00,000
as well.
You may not want to dive here.
816
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,160
And it's like why it goes well,
we had a couple divers go down
817
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:07,520
there and they haven't come back
and it's like 4-5 in the
818
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,080
afternoon.
Well, when did it go down?
819
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:14,360
9:30 this morning.
And I'm like, and it's just,
820
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,960
it's dark.
All the in the springs in
821
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:23,200
Florida are crystal clear 99% of
the time.
822
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,640
This was black.
It was just, you couldn't see
823
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,000
anything.
And it's like, wow, that I
824
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,120
thought it was so clear.
It's not clear at all.
825
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,080
You said, well, it's all stirred
up.
826
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,280
Everything's stirred up
everything.
827
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,640
You know, that's why they can't
see the body, you know, can't
828
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,760
find the bodies.
And there it was, you know, so
829
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,840
we didn't dive there that night
or day.
830
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,640
I did dive there later.
That's where I think I dove.
831
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:51,880
It's my first sub 90 foot dive.
I think I went to the bottom.
832
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,000
I was trying to find out how
deep I could go.
833
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,880
I'm holding the you.
You have the gauge on your wrist
834
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:04,800
and I'm holding it.
I'm going like 506070809294 and
835
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,880
I'm on the bottom of Troy
Springs and I'm sticking my
836
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,840
hand.
I'm moving rocks out of the way
837
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,360
trying to get deeper.
And I got like, I got to, I want
838
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,600
to get to 100 feet and I got to
like 96 or 95 or something like
839
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,000
that.
It was somewhere in that range.
840
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,720
I forgot what the exact number
was, but it was 90 something.
841
00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:22,600
And I was like, damn, I want to
go down to 100 and I, because I
842
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:26,000
want to say I dove to 100 feet,
you know, it's sort of a thing,
843
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:31,320
you know, And it was like my
third time I'd ever gone scuba
844
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,400
diving.
So I was going to kill myself
845
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,320
because I was really stupid, you
know?
846
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,480
But the weather was, you see,
I'm trying to think of other.
847
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:42,720
Well, that's like the the first
time we went to Mongolia, it
848
00:46:42,720 --> 00:46:45,240
hailed, and I thought that was
the weirdest thing.
849
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:50,960
Yeah, it hailed the first day me
and Christian went, and it's so
850
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:52,440
odd.
We're like, is that hail?
851
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,640
Yeah, that's hail.
How big?
852
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:59,040
Very, very probably the biggest
hail golf balls.
853
00:46:59,240 --> 00:47:00,120
Balls I've ever seen.
Yeah.
854
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,160
About golf ball size, yeah.
That's crazy when you see it
855
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:04,800
that big.
I've seen it that big here.
856
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:09,880
I've seen it as big as this big,
like almost like a baseball near
857
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,480
baseball.
When I was in, I was sitting in
858
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:16,160
the back in the hot tub.
I came in because it, it
859
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,560
started, it was just weird and
it started hailing and then I
860
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,040
looked down on the ground and I
was like, and it's gone like in
861
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,320
minutes because it's ice.
But it's just like, this is so
862
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:29,800
weird, so big, you know, huge
hail.
863
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,200
But I wonder about damage and
stuff like that.
864
00:47:33,720 --> 00:47:35,640
You know, that's the great
insurance scams.
865
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:39,080
After that, Edwin's been through
a lot of hurricanes.
866
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:40,240
I don't.
I mean, we don't.
867
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:45,040
We get them occasionally here,
but usually they miss Northern
868
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,440
Virginia.
You know, for us, it's at this
869
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,200
snowstorm.
Hopefully we'll get more snow,
870
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,400
and that'll be nice.
And a lot of people don't like
871
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:54,520
snow.
I love snow.
872
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,840
I love it.
I wouldn't sneeze a little bit,
873
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:06,080
you know, I want to do what is
that the crazy weather?
874
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,560
If we've been in, didn't we
weren't in.
875
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,080
I mean, there was no crazy
weather when we're in
876
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,720
Antarctica, was there?
It was just low.
877
00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:18,440
Clouds which other than?
The final two days there were we
878
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,360
got, we got fogged.
Yeah, the final two days we got
879
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,760
fogged in and then the we had to
go a different way through the
880
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:27,480
Straits of Magellan or whatever
it was and.
881
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:33,080
And that sucked, Yeah.
We weren't even like in it.
882
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,240
We were near it and, well, they.
Don't have just.
883
00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:41,760
Being near it sucks bad, yeah.
Yeah, just being near.
884
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,280
Yeah, you don't want to be at
the top of the boat, you want to
885
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:45,680
be at the bottom.
Yeah, 'cause.
886
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,800
I remember being at the top and
being like, oh, I'm going to
887
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,520
fucking die.
I'm I'm.
888
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,000
Not me, I was just getting
hammered.
889
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:57,480
So see, well, I think it was the
residual hangover with the the
890
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:01,600
sea sickness that was just not
good.
891
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:05,200
Yeah, there's something about
boats and alcohol where it's
892
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,440
kind of like fishing and alcohol
or it's kind of like golf and
893
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,440
alcohol.
You only do it to drink.
894
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,680
And that's the least.
That's the way cruises are for
895
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:14,920
me.
Yeah, exactly.
896
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,080
The only reason you're going
Galapagos was that way.
897
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,560
Oh my gosh, I think that was I
was blackout.
898
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:28,280
Drunk, maybe the whole time.
1111 1/2 days of a nine day
899
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,160
trip.
We, we, we, we were blackout.
900
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:35,360
Well, I remember you're like, we
got to get up tomorrow at 5:00
901
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:39,360
to go see the boobies or
whatever, the birds.
902
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:40,320
Yeah, blue footed.
Boobies.
903
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,000
And we got up at 5:00 and we
didn't even get there till like
904
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,160
8 and I was like this is so
fucking stupid.
905
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:49,680
And we got there and then
instead of like, allowing to
906
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:54,880
walk around the island, we had
to stay with the guy, which I
907
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:56,960
understand.
I guess you can't really
908
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,680
permitted and things like that,
'cause it's the last ecological
909
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:03,840
thing in the world or what have
you.
910
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,280
But yeah, 'cause you couldn't,
like, speed run it, which is
911
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:09,600
what I thought we were going to
be able to do.
912
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:10,520
We're going to be like, all
right, cool.
913
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:12,800
Here's the bird.
Here's the frigate bird.
914
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,400
Here's the other bird.
Yeah, they drop us on one side
915
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,000
and we go.
And then and then four hours
916
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,000
later, we were finally about to
go back and I was like.
917
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,040
Yeah, yeah, that was some bad
sweating.
918
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:25,000
Well, that was, I mean you know,
when we did Santa Maria and we
919
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:28,680
climbed the mountain, remember
that We drank until around
920
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,680
11/11/30.
That might be the most hungover
921
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,400
ever been in my entire.
Life, that was the worst.
922
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:37,120
We we drank a bottle of Stoli's
between US.
923
00:50:37,720 --> 00:50:39,600
And.
I don't even remember 2 hours.
924
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:45,080
And then we got up, we went to
bed downstairs at around 11
925
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:51,000
something, I don't know, 1520.
We had a wake up call at 4:00
926
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:55,800
AM.
We we got up and then and then
927
00:50:56,200 --> 00:51:02,280
we went to a hostel and then we
got loaded into boxes that took
928
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,160
us to the base of the mountain.
Then we then we climbed the
929
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:11,800
mountain that day from first
light until Oh my God.
930
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:15,440
And then when we got back to the
bottom and we ate that burrito.
931
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:19,040
Oh my gosh, that was amazing.
That's what I realized, what it
932
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,200
was all for it.
Was it was so you would feel
933
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,680
that feeling.
Because I was drunk until
934
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,480
halfway up that mountain, I.
Think, Oh, yeah, yeah, you, you
935
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:31,640
were, you were sweaty, smelly.
I was so drunk.
936
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,720
I would, I would I?
I didn't have to know the path.
937
00:51:34,720 --> 00:51:36,520
I could just smell you as you
were going by.
938
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,400
Yeah.
Oh yeah, that's nice.
939
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:39,600
Yeah, sure.
No.
940
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:43,840
Well man, I the only thing that
shocked me is that I was not
941
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,160
last.
I was surprised you were going
942
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:50,040
to make it because I remember we
were all pale faced at the top
943
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,520
and it was.
We were pale faced 20 fucking
944
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,840
minutes into the walk.
I was already like when we
945
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:58,000
remember we were walking up the
road.
946
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:02,480
I'm going it was way.
Harder than anybody talked about
947
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,280
it being.
It was hard like that was that
948
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,360
was difficult.
Yeah, but Shaw's daughters were
949
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,360
with us and they're like.
Well, they're there are
950
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:12,720
athletes.
Yeah, I know.
951
00:52:12,720 --> 00:52:15,480
They're definitely athletes.
Yeah, and I wouldn't.
952
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,360
Consider myself I didn't have
anything to do today, so I
953
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,000
didn't have anything fun to do.
So I decided to run 10 miles
954
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:24,200
uphill in the sand.
I do want to do this thing. 40
955
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:27,840
LB boots.
Called the the walk to San Diego
956
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:31,480
where I come out of my my
apartment, right and I just walk
957
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:34,840
to San Diego.
I think you know what I want to
958
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:36,600
do.
I want to do the narrows.
959
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,480
Why don't you do the walk to San
Diego with me?
960
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:42,680
You imagine doing the narrows.
We walked from my apartment to
961
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:46,800
San Diego on the birds side.
It it will, it would take a week
962
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:48,320
probably.
Really.
963
00:52:48,720 --> 00:52:53,040
Yeah, it's like 200 miles.
That's more than a week, dude.
964
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,560
You think so?
That's like a month really
965
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:59,400
that's half of the Camino Del so
so but if you it's three days.
966
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:03,600
Straight just walking so it's
probably like 6. 72 hours.
967
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,640
Yeah.
So it's probably like.
968
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:10,360
Three days?
You're kidding me.
969
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:12,400
Really.
Yeah.
970
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:18,760
So I would adjust it by adding
two days or three days because
971
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,840
that's generally when you drive.
If it's like a seven day drive
972
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:25,920
straight, yeah, it's like 14
days or like probably like 9
973
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:29,080
days.
So 2 hours, 35 minute drive.
974
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,240
The walk would take two days and
18 hours.
975
00:53:31,240 --> 00:53:34,840
It's it's 50 miles.
It's 132 miles.
976
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:38,680
Oh, is San Diego with within 50
miles of LA?
977
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,800
No, San Diego's roughly 120
miles and.
978
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:47,200
It takes 132, yeah.
Yeah. 5000 foot climb too.
979
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,480
That's a mountain. 5000.
Yeah.
980
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:54,680
San Diego's not downhill.
I think in the middle there's a
981
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:58,200
mountain that goes up.
Yeah, because you.
982
00:53:58,200 --> 00:53:59,640
Get.
Well, the one I wanted to do
983
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,560
was.
What do you call it?
984
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:10,320
Pamplona was to walk the first
leg of the El Camino from to
985
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,360
Pamplona and then go run with
the bulls that'd.
986
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:15,360
Be cool.
We would do that.
987
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:16,800
We should do that.
Not that we want to do it this
988
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:17,920
year.
We could walk.
989
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,960
Unless you want to do it, you
want to do it, you want to do it
990
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,240
this year.
We could walk from Los Angeles
991
00:54:22,240 --> 00:54:24,960
to Canada.
But you don't have that much
992
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:28,040
time.
No, I would need to quit my job
993
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:29,960
to do that.
Yeah.
994
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,800
There's this guy I know that
just biked from Portugal to
995
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:38,400
Japan and he did it on a $15,000
budget and it's been about a
996
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:42,240
year and he's only spent like 9
grand.
997
00:54:42,240 --> 00:54:46,200
I'm like, how did you do that?
Well, I mean, you, you a lot of
998
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:50,440
that is, is living off the land.
The hostel, yeah.
999
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,400
He's in the.
Middle of nowhere, yeah.
1000
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:55,160
Yeah, the generosity of others
not paying for food.
1001
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,280
Oh, you want a sandwich?
Yeah, that'll be enough food for
1002
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,600
me to last till the dinner so I
don't have to pay.
1003
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,560
He didn't go through Afghanistan
either, so I'm curious where he
1004
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:04,640
went.
Yeah, there was another guy that
1005
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:08,040
I followed that went through
Afghanistan and then he was also
1006
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,040
in China as well.
So how?
1007
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:11,200
What do you think the weather
is?
1008
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,160
What's the worst weather you've
ever faced?
1009
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,520
Well, this guy biked through
Mongolia in the winter and I'm
1010
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,600
like, well, that's, that's
crazy.
1011
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:22,480
How did that's dying?
I mean, I, I have to think the
1012
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:27,600
coldest weather I've ever faced
was Fenland in the winter time.
1013
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:32,680
In January.
It was -29 So that's, that's
1014
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:34,960
cool.
I know that's real cool.
1015
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:42,920
It was -29 C whatever that is,
which is like 17 below 15 and it
1016
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:44,160
was, but the wind wasn't
blowing.
1017
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:46,120
So it wasn't, you know, as long
as the wind wasn't blowing, it
1018
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:48,680
was OK.
I remember Chicago in the winter
1019
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:54,400
time, Lakeshore Drive, the wind
coming off is just it just,
1020
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:57,840
there's just nothing you can do.
You know how you just get that
1021
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,800
chilly, bone chilly, nasty
stuff?
1022
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:06,160
Or when I was in college, my
first year in Norfolk, it rained
1023
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:09,760
the month of December and it
stayed the temperature never
1024
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:14,280
went above 40.
So every day you had that.
1025
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:19,720
You know how you when your
spine's cold just like just just
1026
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,760
inside, you can't, you can, you
can light, you take a match and
1027
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,280
you put it on your hand and you
wouldn't even care because
1028
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,360
you're inside.
You're so freaking cold, you
1029
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:33,600
know, you know, just wow.
I remember we would take
1030
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:38,560
multiple hot showers a day, you
know, just to, to re warm your
1031
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:39,800
body.
It's just crazy.
1032
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,720
Different types of water.
I don't remember a lot of crazy
1033
00:56:43,720 --> 00:56:46,400
weather growing up, you know?
Only now.
1034
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:48,160
Major ones, yeah.
Yeah.
1035
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,960
You see, you're more, you pay
more attention to it.
1036
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:55,440
I think things like that, you
know, great heat waves and stuff
1037
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:57,320
like that.
Walking through the bottom of
1038
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:00,560
the desert at 110°, that's.
Not yeah, I remember.
1039
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,080
That oh, it's wonderful.
You had a great time, A. 109
1040
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:04,480
degrees.
Oh my God, yeah.
1041
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:06,320
Yeah.
That was insane.
1042
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:08,800
You had the little the little
temperature gauge on.
1043
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:10,200
I would do it after.
October.
1044
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:12,120
If I ever do it ever again.
Yeah.
1045
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:13,200
Oh.
I didn't care.
1046
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:15,880
Because that was in October and
it was still 109°.
1047
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:17,320
It was.
October.
1048
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,640
I think so, right?
It was it was it.
1049
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:22,040
But The thing is, this is a
great experience.
1050
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:24,440
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that was
great.
1051
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:28,160
But I would do it later.
It was a little long for you at
1052
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,520
that age.
I was like 9 years old, yeah.
1053
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,680
Yeah, you were nine and it was
10 miles, or you were 10 and it
1054
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:35,040
was 10 miles.
It was one of the others.
1055
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:37,160
Which is like 40 miles for a 10
year old.
1056
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:38,840
What?
Whatever.
1057
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:42,000
Yeah.
Being your whiny self, you know.
1058
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,920
Come on.

00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,440
Welcome back to another episode
of Record, My Father.
2
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,520
Today we're going to be talking
about weather.
3
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:21,560
The East Coast has a large,
large snowstorm upon itself.
4
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,040
I'm not really.
I think you're in the midst of
5
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,160
it, right?
How's that going?
6
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:29,600
Yeah, we, we, we had about a
foot on Saturday, Sunday here in
7
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,320
Northern Virginia.
And we're supposed to, we're
8
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,720
supposed to get another foot
this weekend, then we were
9
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,280
supposed to get none.
Then we're supposed to get it
10
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,600
again, then we're supposed to
get none.
11
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,320
Now it looks like when next
Wednesday we get 3 inches.
12
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,800
I don't know, you know, I, I
guess it's just who we decided
13
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,680
the date and that's why we're
getting 3 inches.
14
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,360
But that's another story, right?
I'm like, I remember what was
15
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,560
it, 2012?
It was like 4 feet of snow or
16
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,600
something.
Oh, that was so cool.
17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,360
But that was cool snow.
The snow is like it's it snowed
18
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,480
Saturday and I did the thing
like midday.
19
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,840
I whipped out my snow blower and
it cut down 6 inches of snow
20
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,880
gone driveways clear everything,
but it's still like it's still
21
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,200
sleet snowing until like
midnight that night, which is
22
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,320
another 5 or 6 inches, something
like that.
23
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,800
Well, unfortunately I didn't do
it again and it froze and it
24
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,080
froze solid.
I mean it is solid, solid block
25
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,720
of solid.
It was so the we have an Audi.
26
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,480
My my wife's Audi has
convertible Audi like the A5
27
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,160
parked around front.
Coolest thing in the world.
28
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,560
Yesterday I was like, damn, I
got an accident on the way back
29
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,440
from the airport.
Got rear-ended on the Parkway
30
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,560
and I can tell that story, but
I'll tell that story after the
31
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,880
driving, the driving the I got
in the Audi and it was totally
32
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,680
shitty day.
And I'm like, I got to move it
33
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,280
around to the front because now
I'm not going to be able to
34
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,320
drive that Subaru.
And it's, it's like a foot of
35
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,440
snow all the way around, but
it's all frozen solid.
36
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,440
So I just drive up on it and
drive right across it.
37
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,280
And it didn't like slip nothing.
And I was just like, Oh my God,
38
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,560
because I thought I was going to
have to like break that chip,
39
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,360
all that ice out so I could
drive it out.
40
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,200
That's.
All-wheel drive, yeah.
41
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,560
And I was just like, Oh my God,
Oh my God, Oh my God.
42
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,560
And I got to tell you, that was
just the greatest feeling in the
43
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,600
world that I didn't have to
spend a day doing that or
44
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:34,080
finding a people.
The guys that got away to, you
45
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,000
know.
I remember with the my Honda got
46
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,640
stuck at the Safeway because it
was snowing, and then she picked
47
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:43,960
me up in the convertible and I
thought that was the funniest
48
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,000
thing, 'cause that makes no
sense on paper.
49
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,640
Yeah, that car that really.
Makes great in the snow.
50
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:52,760
Oh, like the best better than
the Subaru.
51
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,560
It is, yeah, better than the
Subaru.
52
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,800
Subaru tends to slide.
I got, I think about all my
53
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,080
harrowing times and the snow.
I remember coming home.
54
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,480
It was a snowstorm before you
were born.
55
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,880
We've been married like four or
five years, 55 or six years.
56
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,680
We were living at Pomeroy Drive.
I'm driving home and the wife's,
57
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,920
but we have a Ford Explorer.
It's like 7:00 at night, snow's
58
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:15,760
coming down.
It's like 4 inches of snow on
59
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,960
the ground.
And of course I'm doing the
60
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,920
speed limit plus 20, which is
what I'm always doing.
61
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:25,040
I'm probably doing 70 and then
the car and I'm going 395 S.
62
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,080
In the snow on four in the.
Snow man in the snow, but I was
63
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,120
in the right hand.
There was like the far speed
64
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,120
lane was completely clear.
All the other lanes were like
65
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,440
covered with snow.
So I was felt like I was OK, but
66
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,040
I kind of slipped over a little
bit.
67
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:44,600
And then the car just does this.
It goes sideways and it goes
68
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,920
sideways and then it just starts
heading for the bumper, heading
69
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,000
for the guardrail and and
there's nothing I could do.
70
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,720
I mean, it was just it was doing
its thing.
71
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,720
And I look out the white side of
the window, which she's the
72
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,000
passenger, and I see the cars
coming at us.
73
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:06,360
It's a wall of cars, you know,
which you know, she's going to
74
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,960
be dead.
I'm probably going to be made,
75
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,760
but I'm going to live and be
tortured the rest of my life for
76
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:16,600
killing my wife.
Anyway, I I slide slowly and the
77
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,120
cars are coming and they're
trying to, I assume they're
78
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,399
trying to slow down or they
didn't give a shit or they
79
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:23,200
didn't even see us 'cause we're
sideways.
80
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,240
Remember cars sideways don't
have lights.
81
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,160
They have them front and back.
Anyway, we're sliding sideways
82
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Oink.
We slide right up to the, the
83
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,360
guardrail oink and it and it's
not covered.
84
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:39,720
It's not like stopped.
So we're we're totally off the
85
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:45,640
road and then they pass by and
it was just like, holy shit, you
86
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,720
know, it was just the wildest,
wildest thing.
87
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,400
You know, I think about all the
different times and the
88
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,280
different stories when you think
about weather in our lifetime,
89
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:57,960
in my lifetime, I mean, one of
the biggest storms I ever faced
90
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,480
was Agnes in 72.
Well, actually, I would say the
91
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:09,560
biggest storm we ever faced was
64 in Alexandria when our house
92
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:15,200
was flooded and we lost it.
And that was Mark Drive and I,
93
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,440
there's actually a picture and
one of our places, one of our
94
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,320
shows, we actually have a, a sky
picture of it.
95
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,520
It's really cool where it's
completely underwater, you know,
96
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,200
or it's the, the house was half
flooded and we were still in the
97
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,760
house just before the empty
houses, you know, the water's
98
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,360
coming.
It's like we were the too stupid
99
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,120
to run out to know that you
should leave.
100
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:44,160
In 72, Agnes happened and
Woodbridge has bridges that come
101
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,360
into the community and over
rivers and every bridge was out.
102
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,680
So it was, it was a stuck
community for, I don't know,
103
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,160
four or five days, something
like that.
104
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,680
They brought in water.
What we're there was no water.
105
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,920
You had to, if you want to flush
your toilet.
106
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:04,600
We went down to the Creek and
filled up buckets and it was, I
107
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,560
don't know, two or three weeks
until the water got back.
108
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,720
It was crazy.
It was just that that and that
109
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:15,880
was hurricane, not snow.
And I remember, you know, 2-3
110
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,480
foot snows when we were little
kids in the 60s.
111
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,080
I remember them again when you
were a little kid and they were
112
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,680
like back-to-back and that's
what did it.
113
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,920
I think it was 20 inches and
then another 14 inches four days
114
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,920
later or something.
That's when we got a whole lot
115
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,680
of snow here.
And it was just, it was so
116
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,880
wicked cool.
I love it because it was I
117
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,400
didn't have a job.
I wasn't working and you were
118
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,200
and you were a little kid and
you were just like into it so
119
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,640
much.
And we had well, the cats didn't
120
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,280
care about it, but the dogs did
later.
121
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,880
But you know, that was just so
much fun.
122
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,680
And I had a a snow blower, so,
you know, I could clear the
123
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,800
driveway pretty quick it.
Was the best investment of all
124
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:54,800
time.
That's oh.
125
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,480
Yeah, I would say that was.
Oh, my God.
126
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,880
I remember.
I went to shovel it as a kid.
127
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,920
Not fun.
Yeah, I shovelled the whole
128
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,480
thing.
No, you shovelled this Four or
129
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,640
five, probably.
And you shovelled the front
130
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,320
step.
I shovelled the whole thing.
131
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,560
Four or five years.
Old front step that's covered.
132
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,520
That's what you shovelled.
And yeah, it was a lot, a lot of
133
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,040
work back then.
But and you guys would sit
134
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,920
inside and I would just do the
whole driveway.
135
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,520
Four or five years old.
Cyclone and New Zealand when all
136
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,280
the weather was out, all the
water was out we were there.
137
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:35,440
I'm trying to think our
honeymoon our very first night
138
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:40,200
at the honeymoon was it rained
for like two or three days.
139
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,600
I remember that I remember
sitting on the beach we're in
140
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,720
Blanco Bay, the wife the wife is
like exhausted because they've
141
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,040
been a long up and come all
sorts of things went really
142
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,560
weird on the you know, the month
before our wedding and up to our
143
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,080
wedding a lot of family stress.
Let's just put it that way.
144
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:02,480
Anyway, we go, we we fly and the
weather's so bad we get stuck at
145
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,760
Saint Croix.
So we go to this bar and they
146
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,560
have these services.
They're called Babe Ruth drinks.
147
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:11,720
I have no idea what the hell
they are.
148
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:16,360
They were blue something and we
had, I think I had four and she
149
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,440
had two and she was shit
hammered.
150
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,360
And this was we went to bed.
We went up to bed at like 10:00
151
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:29,280
that night in the island.
We had to get up at 4:30 to
152
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,440
catch the first flight out,
which was a little puddle
153
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,720
jumper, which we caught.
The little puddle jumper took us
154
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,760
to Charlotte only yeah, what's
that?
155
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,000
Saint Thomas?
And then we go to Belongo Bay
156
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,800
and I mean she's booted like 6
times by now.
157
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,320
And we get we check in and I put
her in the golf cart, take her
158
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,640
up and she's just done.
She just goes in, lays down on
159
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,000
the bed and she's asleep.
She stays there for like two or
160
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,560
three days.
This is first 3 days of my are
161
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:03,480
are my honeymoon.
So I go down to the beach and
162
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,800
it's raining and it's like,
well, this is what a wonderful
163
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,200
start to a beautiful.
Relationship.
164
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,240
I mean, it's just, it's just
raining, right?
165
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,880
So there's a, there's an outside
bar there and I'm talking to the
166
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,800
guy and he's making me, what the
hell are those things?
167
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,440
Strawberry daiquiris and stuff
like that at 11:00 in the
168
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,720
morning and I'm sitting on the
beach.
169
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:32,880
It's, it's 90 degrees, 85° and
it's pouring and I'm in my, and
170
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,680
I'm just sitting there by my,
there's nobody else there.
171
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,120
The, the place is full.
I'm getting hammered on the
172
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,160
beach and I'm like, fuck it, I'm
just going to do this.
173
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,120
This is great.
It was just, it was a, and I
174
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,080
said, you know what?
She's sick.
175
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,160
She didn't feel good.
There's nothing.
176
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,080
We're not going to do anything.
We're not going to go anywhere,
177
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:50,840
and she doesn't want to be
bothered.
178
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:57,080
So it was like, oh, OK.
Banana Daiquiri in my time has
179
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,040
been proven to be the best
daiquiri.
180
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,720
Yeah, I think you're right.
I think you're right.
181
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,760
I don't know why I don't like
banana like that either, but yet
182
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,080
the banana daiquiri is
something.
183
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,680
It knows what it is, it knows
who it is, it knows where it
184
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:15,800
belongs, and it's delicious.
Every single.
185
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:22,400
Time we had those, the best ones
I've ever had in at the top of
186
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:27,040
Saint Thomas, at the very tippy
top of Saint Thomas, there's
187
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,920
like a, a, there's a restaurant
at the top and they make and you
188
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,800
see this guy with just bushels
of bananas.
189
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,000
You know how they come out.
Oh yeah, yeah, I know exactly
190
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,320
what you're.
Saying and they're all rotten
191
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,520
and he's pulling them out and
he's stuffing them in a blender
192
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,720
and just, and he has the half
gallon of rum and something else
193
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,240
and he's pouring it in there and
stuffing them and just, and then
194
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,000
he pours it out and then he
throws in a bunch of them and he
195
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,200
pours and it's, and it's the way
he poured the rum was basically
196
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:01,320
just, and then set it down and
then stuff, stuff as many
197
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,840
bananas as he could in the
blender.
198
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,360
And and that's everybody's
order.
199
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,040
What do you want?
I want a beer.
200
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,680
No, you got a you want a banana
daiquiri?
201
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:11,560
No, I want AI want a, a martini.
OK, I'll make you banana
202
00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:13,680
daiquiri.
And that's all I'm gonna make.
203
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:17,040
And he made, he was just, but he
was blindingly fast.
204
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,520
I mean, you would say banana
daiquiri.
205
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,520
And he literally would peel 4
bananas, 5 bananas, stuff them
206
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,840
in the blender, throw the rum in
and put, put in a little scoop
207
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,320
of ice and go and then pour it
in your glass.
208
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,000
And you're like, and they were
the best daiquiris I've ever,
209
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,520
ever.
I mean, they were amazing.
210
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,120
You were like just a new level
of happiness.
211
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,640
And we got up there.
I remember we got there on that
212
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,480
side of the island, you could
see there was a hurricane.
213
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,120
I forgot Hugo I think was before
or something like that, before
214
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,840
we got married.
And that whole side of the
215
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,640
island, all the roofs were gone.
They were all just blue tarps.
216
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,360
Weather, A lot of weather.
Wow.
217
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:01,800
Yeah.
I'm just thinking of the
218
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,640
different weather.
You've you've had bad weather
219
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,000
out there.
You've had fires.
220
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,880
Yeah, as soon as I moved out
here.
221
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,920
That's not weather, that's.
A biblical storm.
222
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,760
It rained for like 3 weeks or
something or two weeks and then
223
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,600
recently it started raining
again for like 5 days straight.
224
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,920
It's the three-year rain gush.
Yeah, I don't.
225
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,400
I don't know what it is.
Happens like every three years.
226
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,400
And then what was the other one?
Oh, Sicily.
227
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,000
Sicily was crazier.
Oh yeah.
228
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,920
I remember that when we went to
the top of what's the mountain
229
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:34,760
there?
Aetna.
230
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,800
Aetna we went to Mount Aetna.
We go to the top or near the
231
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,120
top, whatever the hell we and
we're hiking out and then it's
232
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,760
raining and then we and we we
get a little wet and then we're.
233
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,720
You muted yourself.
There we go.
234
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:51,480
Good, good.
You're good.
235
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,880
We, we, we hit it, you know, we
get back in the vehicle and he's
236
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,520
driving down the mountain and
it's, what was it, 81012 inches
237
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,520
of water it's.
Not built for that either.
238
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,360
Yeah, you what?
It's not built for that because
239
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,440
they have like these volcano
walls that are like these
240
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,800
retaining walls that don't have
any drainage.
241
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,080
And they were supposed to keep
the lava in.
242
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,440
That was the point of the high
walls on the side and the high
243
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,000
driveway.
So the lava would fall into the
244
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,120
road and run to the bottom right
into the ocean.
245
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:30,080
Well, this was nothing but water
filled and it was, you know, 14.
246
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:31,840
I mean, it's a foot.
It was at least a foot.
247
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,640
And he's driving through it and
his Range Rover and we're in it
248
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,800
and he's just like, whoa.
And we're like, have you ever
249
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,040
seen anything like that?
I mean, when's the last time you
250
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,520
saw something like this?
And he goes, well, I've only
251
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,600
been here for 30 years and
never.
252
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:51,200
Like whoa, it is weird that
anywhere I go it just seems to
253
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,840
rain all the time.
Well, you've you destroy a lot
254
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:55,520
of things.
You.
255
00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:57,000
Oh, it's crazy.
Yeah.
256
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,640
I know.
Everything you did with COVID
257
00:13:58,880 --> 00:13:59,760
ever done.
Yeah.
258
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,840
It's been met with just utter
obstacles.
259
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,360
Yep.
You.
260
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,160
In your high school, you made
all the administrators have sex
261
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,240
with each other.
That was so weird, yeah.
262
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,880
Yeah, I don't know why you made
that happen.
263
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,280
Yeah, with.
In hindsight, too, I'm like,
264
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,160
this is like, I used to think
these things were normal.
265
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,360
And yeah, they're, they're not.
They're not.
266
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,840
Yeah, that was so weird at my
high school that you had
267
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,560
management sleeping with people
that were kind of like
268
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,040
underling.
They weren't kind of underlings.
269
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:31,840
They were underlings.
And then they would get
270
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,240
promotions.
They can't do them sleeping.
271
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,640
Crazy and And the board knew it.
Oh, the board knew it well that.
272
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,960
Was the thing that was for.
About the head honcho, The
273
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,080
principal sleeping with the
secretary, giving her free
274
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,360
tuition, I mean.
But there was going on all over.
275
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,800
You had the the head of the
whole, what was it?
276
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,400
The head of education?
Mary's the head of the English
277
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,120
area.
And you're like, what?
278
00:14:59,120 --> 00:14:59,560
Yeah, yeah.
I.
279
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:00,640
Remember that.
Remember that.
280
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,280
And you know what, come on
anywhere else, people like that,
281
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:09,520
once it becomes known they
leave, they get fired because
282
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,800
you, you should not be able to
be having sex and sleeping with
283
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:18,360
someone's destination that you
have, that you have, that you
284
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,160
have input into their outcome.
It's just.
285
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:21,840
It's wrong no matter what you
do.
286
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,160
And I don't care.
Well, well, we had an
287
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,000
independent.
No, no, it doesn't work that
288
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,160
way.
You would say when you have an
289
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,680
independent group, they would
not want to make the guy in
290
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,240
charge be unhappy, so they would
give his wife more So.
291
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,360
So bullshit.
Don't you can't, you can't get
292
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:44,000
around that impropriety.
And it's like, it it, it pisses
293
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,040
people off.
And also anybody that looks from
294
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,400
the outside, looks at the
situation like me, knows that
295
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:56,320
people were fucked, that lost
because that happened. 100%
296
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:57,960
there were people.
That did better jobs, that
297
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,880
didn't get raises.
There were people that did
298
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,200
better things that didn't get it
because they got it.
299
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,600
So whatever you want to say,
it's it's wrong.
300
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,240
You know, it's just wrong.
It definitely is, yeah, without
301
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:10,720
a doubt.
Kind of.
302
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,800
Man, I am just such a moral
voice.
303
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,760
It's amazing, isn't it?
You're master of ethics, that's
304
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,520
what it is.
Amazing, Mr. Mr. Do right.
305
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:25,840
Shockingly, it, it's like the
reason that I feel one of the
306
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:31,400
key reasons that I feel that
I've been so done well or
307
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,920
financially rewarded well in
business is that I've always
308
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,080
been ethical.
I don't, you know, I've, I've
309
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,840
had people try to come and pay
to play and I'm like, no, you
310
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:51,000
know, and, and I've had people,
you know, want to tell lies
311
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,800
about things and, and propagate
them.
312
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,640
No, you know, and it's just
like, as long as that kind of
313
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,920
stuff that would put more money
in my pocket if I lied or put
314
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,520
more money in my pocket if I
cheated or put more money in my
315
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:08,119
pocket if I pay people, I I just
no, wouldn't do it, you know,
316
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,599
and it's I, I feel like that is
been, you know, part of it, but
317
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:17,000
there's a lot of people that
cheat and steal and actually do
318
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,839
OK, so.
Yeah, that's a every billionaire
319
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,079
ever made Well.
No, I wouldn't say it.
320
00:17:23,079 --> 00:17:24,680
You can't.
You can't say.
321
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,040
Most, I'm going to say most.
You got to wonder, get to that
322
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,600
level of wealth.
You have to.
323
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,320
Well, here's the thing.
You.
324
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:37,600
Lead You lead by example and
people see you and they do
325
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,880
things that they think you would
like.
326
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:49,400
So if you lead hard, they will
be twice as hard, four times as
327
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,480
hard.
If you if you lead and you're
328
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:57,000
kind of a little sketchy on
rules, they will be, there will
329
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,280
be no rules.
So you notice when you're when
330
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,240
you're in a position of power
authority, when you're pushing
331
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,640
forward and somebody, somebody
wants to and they're following
332
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:12,040
you, they will want your praise
and attention and they will
333
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,480
believe that they will get it.
And you're seeing it right now
334
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,240
with the whole ice thing right
out there.
335
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,160
The reason there's so much more
brutal is because it's, it's not
336
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,400
only it the, the administration
rewards it.
337
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,480
They're they're they're they're,
they're making them, you know,
338
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:30,560
they don't wear full military
gear masks because they're not
339
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,000
required to.
They are required to wear that.
340
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,840
They used to wear windbreakers,
OK.
341
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,920
They changed the gear to make
them more militarized.
342
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:46,120
So, you know, I'm just.
Kind of confused why are they
343
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:51,200
allowed to wear masks now when
in 2020 everybody hated masks.
344
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,480
Nobody wanted to wear the masks
kind.
345
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,440
Of.
Kind of interesting, kind of
346
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,760
interesting like that.
Well, I saw something recently
347
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,440
about it.
It's interesting now that we're
348
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,440
talking about weather and it
kind of goes into ice, is the
349
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,280
whole idea that.
Ice is a precipitation, so.
350
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:12,000
You have people that came from
the Proud Boys and you have
351
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,200
people that came from J6 and the
reason you don't see the reason
352
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,400
they're wearing masks is they
don't want you to know if it's
353
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,440
the same people.
And which would be a good
354
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,640
question to put to anybody in
authority or any anybody in
355
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:29,520
oversight is, well, how many
members of ICE are former J
356
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,120
Sixers or Proud Boys, you know,
or Oath Keepers?
357
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,680
Or KKK.
Yeah, or K, well, I don't know
358
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:41,160
if there's a, I'm, I'm sure
there, there used to be a, a
359
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,520
facilitator for the KKK, but I,
I, I imagine they don't even
360
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:45,920
consider it a terrorist
organization.
361
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:50,320
I don't think that they do and
they I think they de categorized
362
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,520
it about a year ago or two
years.
363
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,680
Ago, that's the one they took
out and then they added they.
364
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,800
Added Black Panthers They.
No, no, they added BLM and
365
00:19:58,800 --> 00:19:59,360
you're like.
What?
366
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:00,320
Oh, they did?
Really.
367
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,600
Yeah, like wow, that's just so
weird.
368
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,480
But hey, it is what it is.
How does it affect the weather?
369
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,520
I'm not quite sure what's the
weirdest.
370
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:16,000
I had the quickest weather and
most unexpected weather for me
371
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:21,800
would have to be probably 4
years into being married to
372
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:26,480
Valerie.
We went to Tampa, brother-in-law
373
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,680
had a place down there and we
stayed at it.
374
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,960
We went out one day and and I
said, hey, let's rent a boat and
375
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,200
go out into the Tampa area, the
Bay Area there and go out to one
376
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:41,680
of the islands that have lunch.
And so we go and they didn't say
377
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,040
anything.
And I'd never ridden a boat
378
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,800
before and it was a pontoon
boat, like 20 foot pontoon boat
379
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,120
with a little pop on and all
that kind of crap like that.
380
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,600
And I paid the guy and we go hop
on the boat.
381
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,520
We're driving out and nobody is
out there.
382
00:20:54,360 --> 00:20:57,640
Seems kind of odd, you know?
And we get out and about in the
383
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:05,160
middle of the, the big, huge
Tampa Bay Bay Area and there's
384
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,880
not a soul and it, and it
doesn't like, I don't notice it
385
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,760
at first.
I noticed it later, but it was
386
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:17,520
like, you know, all of a sudden
it starts raining and it's like,
387
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,240
wow, what do we, what do?
We could just go over to the
388
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,000
shore over there and wait for it
to pass through.
389
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,920
Then there's Whitecaps.
I mean, inside of like 2 minutes
390
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,320
there's like a little waves,
like about about four to six
391
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,480
inches on the Bay.
It's weird.
392
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,280
You know, you're seeing white
water in a Bay Area.
393
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:40,280
And then very, very quickly, in
about 5 minutes more, they're
394
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,280
about a foot and a half too fat.
And it's like, OK, we're going
395
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,080
to turn right, go back.
So we turn around and as we turn
396
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,760
around and we start heading back
in, the wind comes.
397
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,840
The wind's starting to get real
bad.
398
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,600
The wind's hitting.
So then we're now at about four
399
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:58,480
foot waves, the top, the canopy,
it was over, rips off the top
400
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:03,160
and it's gone, disappears.
The wife and I, we are sitting
401
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,520
and and the waves are 4 to 5
feet.
402
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,440
When you go up in the wave,
you're looking at the sky and
403
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:10,600
then you're looking at the
water.
404
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:15,680
And I'm aiming towards getting
to the shore, the closest shore
405
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,920
that I can get to.
And I have to do this by hitting
406
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,560
the waves head on 'cause if I go
sideways, you wouldn't think it,
407
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:28,000
but this pontoon boat was, was
doing, it was, it was probably
408
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,040
at about a 70° angle.
We had, I had, they had a seat
409
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,800
belt on where your driver's seat
was.
410
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,480
She was on my lap.
No, I sat her and then I sat on
411
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,800
top of her and I strapped this
in.
412
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,200
That's how crazy it was.
We were so freaked out.
413
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,880
And we're driving in and I'm
trying to get in and, and I
414
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,400
said, if it flips, I'm going to
open this thing up and we're
415
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,480
going to make it to the surface
and we're going to go to shore.
416
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,160
And we had our belts, we had our
things on too.
417
00:22:55,160 --> 00:23:02,400
So, but whatever.
So we get to the the little
418
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:07,000
canal, we get in and it's
halfway up the canal to where
419
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,560
the boats was, stops raining,
wind stops blowing.
420
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:17,000
We pull in and the guy's like
looking at us like big eyes,
421
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,800
like, oh fuck, we shouldn't have
let him have the boat.
422
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,400
And we get out and we're like,
Oh my God.
423
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:24,960
And he said, well, we'll give
you a refund.
424
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,720
He didn't say anything about the
canopy.
425
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,080
I didn't say anything about the
canopy.
426
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,240
We go out and we get a taxi to
go back.
427
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,400
Guy comes pick us up and goes,
you were on the water.
428
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,920
There was like a there was a
warning all over that no one was
429
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,360
supposed to go out.
And I'm like, really?
430
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,080
And he said, they didn't tell
you they rented you a boat and
431
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,920
sent you out there.
That's that's wrong.
432
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:48,720
And I said, well, they didn't
charge us, so we didn't do
433
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,760
anything.
But you know, at the end of the
434
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:56,760
that it was just like, but it
was probably it was half an hour
435
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,520
of sheer terror.
It was just, and I don't know if
436
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:05,800
you know, Florida storms, they
come, they hit incredibly hard
437
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,760
like just, I mean Iron
Jacksonville, they would, they
438
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:14,240
would come in and, and Jax Beach
area and they would flood the
439
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:19,600
streets downtown Jax Beach and
it would, you know, foot deep
440
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,560
water and it would come at 3:00
in the afternoon.
441
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:27,440
It would rain till like 330 like
just kissing buckets of water.
442
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:34,240
Just you are soaking wet in 30
seconds and then and by 4, by
443
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,160
4:00 it's all it's dropped, it's
done, sun comes out.
444
00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:42,400
I mean, just like it never
happened by 5:00, you cannot
445
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,040
tell that it rained.
It's just, it's, it's amazing
446
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:51,400
how quickly it it comes and it's
ferocious and then it's gone and
447
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,880
it's just like, wow, if that
ferocious stays around, which in
448
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,440
hurricanes it tends to do that
sometimes, you know, I think
449
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:04,600
about like we didn't see, you
know, the cyclone of New Zealand
450
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,400
was hard rain, but nothing
really crazy.
451
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,800
I mean, I drove through it.
I didn't have any big deal with
452
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,400
it.
And I'm thinking snowstorms
453
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,960
we've driven through, you know,
like sevens brings it snow to
454
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,280
low snow.
Was on the Bay Bridge in the
455
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,800
worst storm I've ever seen in my
life and the lightning was
456
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,960
hitting the bridge and every
time it hit the bridge you
457
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,520
couldn't see anything 'cause
you're so close to the
458
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,720
lightning.
And meanwhile I'm doing 10 miles
459
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,240
an hour 'cause it's pouring so
hard.
460
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,040
And if you go faster, you
hydroplane.
461
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:45,440
And so I'm kind of hydroplaning
and I'm driving and people are
462
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,640
just like, what is going on?
I felt like that was the only
463
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,160
time I've ever been scared
driving.
464
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,520
I think where I was like, maybe
we should have rented a hotel or
465
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,120
something like that 'cause it
was not worth it.
466
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,360
But everybody was doing 10 miles
an hour from the start of the
467
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:04,800
bridge until after the bridge.
And you don't really.
468
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,920
I've never been scared of
heights, but when you're doing
469
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,520
10 miles an hour on top of the
bridge, it allows you to see
470
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,640
over the sides pretty, pretty
clearly.
471
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,320
And it's pitch black and you see
nothing, but you know that
472
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,600
you're what, like 12 stories in
the air or something like that.
473
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,800
So not not 12, a lot more.
Is it more than 12?
474
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,240
Yes.
Oh God, like 40 stories or
475
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,080
something.
Yeah, it's scary as shit.
476
00:26:27,360 --> 00:26:28,760
It's.
And yeah, that.
477
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,400
That was terrible.
Yeah.
478
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:35,600
But we made it home and yeah, I
was really happy that I was not
479
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,960
under the influence while I was
driving then.
480
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,040
That was very happy because I
think it was like 21 or
481
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,800
something or 20.
No, it wasn't even 21 yet.
482
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,880
I think it was like 19 or 20.
No, I was 21.
483
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:48,720
I was 21.
Yeah.
484
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,400
But what are the ones?
That was interesting.
485
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:57,520
I was just thinking of a couple.
I remember the beach.
486
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,520
You never, I mean, I went there
after big snowstorms.
487
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,600
I don't remember big huge crazy
storms while I was there.
488
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,040
I think about what were the what
were the other ones?
489
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,200
Santa Cruz.
We were doing the coast from LA
490
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,200
to San Francisco and we stayed
in Santa Cruz one night because
491
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,840
it was getting kind of crappy
rain.
492
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,760
So we, we were in a hotel and it
was a flop house really for the
493
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,760
most part.
It wasn't really one of the
494
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,000
crazy Richie Rich places I stay
now.
495
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,040
And we went out on the pier and
the pier had a bar and I
496
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,120
remember watching the sun go
down and the, and it was
497
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,040
pouring.
I mean, it just started the, the
498
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,680
skies opened up and what?
And your mother and I were
499
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,840
having martinis watching the
waves and everything.
500
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:49,800
And just, it was just really a
really cool time to see Mother
501
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:55,240
Nature at through glass and in a
warm establishment, you know?
502
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,040
It's always better than you
know.
503
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,320
Yeah, it is.
It's better than being cold.
504
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:02,040
I don't think I've ever pitched
a tent in the rain.
505
00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:03,760
I don't think I've ever done
that.
506
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:11,080
Have you ever done that?
I have a cold rain pitched.
507
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:18,000
Yes, I have.
When we went to Outer Banks, I
508
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,400
went down there with my first
real roommate.
509
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,560
We went to Outer Banks.
He had a, he said he always want
510
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,280
to go and I'd never been.
I said, let's go.
511
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,720
And we went down there camping
and we showed up and it was
512
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,400
pouring rain and we got out and
we set up the tents in the
513
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,800
pouring rain, got in, everything
was wet, everything was muddy.
514
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,520
And and then I realized that I
didn't like to sleep next to
515
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,040
people that snore.
That's when I snore too.
516
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,720
But we got hammered.
We got stoned, it got hammered,
517
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:53,640
and then we passed out.
And then the most horrible time
518
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,040
in the world, as soon as the
rain stopped.
519
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:03,040
It's like the mosquitoes from
hell just showed up so bad in
520
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,960
the tent because I think he left
the door open when he pissed or
521
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,360
so I don't know.
Or I did.
522
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,120
I have no idea.
I got my sleeping bag and I go
523
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,880
and I lay on the beach.
The thing I didn't know is that
524
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,560
there's two things about weather
when you're sleeping on the
525
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:25,120
beach, when the when the air is
blowing in from the ocean, no
526
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:30,520
big deal, no mosquitoes.
But when the air is blowing from
527
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:35,760
the land into the ocean, it's
bug heaven.
528
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,520
And they were.
All over me.
529
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:42,520
And I was just like stuck trying
to hide in my sleeping bag and,
530
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,680
and it was wet, but I didn't
give a shit because I was trying
531
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,200
not to get eaten.
And then we, I think we, we
532
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,800
ended up staying there one
night.
533
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:54,880
And then he, I have a picture of
him cooking hot dogs, holding an
534
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,760
umbrella while he's smoking a
cigarette and has a beer.
535
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,000
You know he's got 3.
Hands.
536
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,160
Why didn't you?
Why didn't you sleep in the car,
537
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,440
you know?
Because it was like a Mustang
538
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,520
too, which it just was not
conducive to sleep.
539
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,800
It'd be like sleeping in a, you
know, and he's.
540
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,440
Sleeping on the wet ground in
YEAH flat was better.
541
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,040
Flat makes a difference.
It really does.
542
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,480
It does.
Well, you can't recline the
543
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,440
seats.
No, no, you couldn't.
544
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,960
Back then you couldn't.
I mean, there was no reclining
545
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,160
seats.
My God, do you Rich?
546
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,120
People.
Think you have everything you
547
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,840
know?
There was no reclining.
548
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,320
Seats.
No, I don't remember any seat
549
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:35,720
that we had that if if they had
a a switch on the side.
550
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:41,600
Not until I got married, I mean,
no, my Hyundai, my Hyundai, my
551
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,600
my 86th Hyundai that had
adjustable seats up and back by
552
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,800
not, not flat, not going back.
Yeah.
553
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:49,840
Yeah, yeah.
That's what I was thinking
554
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,680
about.
Not even the electric ones, but
555
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,680
just the the handle.
You know what I'm talking about.
556
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,880
Yeah, that's all you really want
to do is go flat if you can and
557
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:58,920
it would seem like everybody.
Was.
558
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:04,040
Flat, you know, but 'cause then
you could truly have good sex in
559
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:08,080
a car, you know?
I mean, that was the good thing
560
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:16,040
about the 86 Hyundai when I
bought it, is it was a great
561
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,640
place to have sex in the
passenger's seat.
562
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,520
You can go all the way back the
good old days, you know.
563
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,120
People, people love hearing
that.
564
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,960
Oh my gosh, people love that.
He's old and smells.
565
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:32,600
This is going to be the Yeah
synopsis on the Spotify.
566
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:34,800
What is this?
What the?
567
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,240
Weather, what's he talking about
now or what other kind of, I
568
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,040
mean, when you think about weird
weather that that's hit you or
569
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,520
affected you, I remember that
Snowstorms.
570
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:50,600
Was it mostly snow?
I'm thinking, oh, I remember
571
00:31:51,200 --> 00:32:00,520
going to New York in 8786, No
8087, maybe 87, and I was dating
572
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,800
somebody out of Texas and she
was redoing bonds.
573
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:10,120
They did something called
rollovers and she had $440
574
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:14,320
million of bonds and she's
taking them to Chase.
575
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:15,840
You take them to the bank
itself.
576
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,880
And then when the, when the, the
Cusips, they, they change that
577
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,120
they, they do this thing called
rollover, which is they replace
578
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:24,560
the old bonds with the new
bonds.
579
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,920
And so, and they'd get them
replaced every, their
580
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,160
mortgage-backed bonds.
You know, they're 10 year, 20
581
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,960
year, 30 year.
And so when they come to
582
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:36,200
maturity, they, they, they start
a new, a new tranche.
583
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,400
Anyway, they were taking the
bonds.
584
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,880
She, she would, she was
deliverer of the bonds.
585
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:44,240
And these were not the bearer
bonds.
586
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:45,520
I was looking for the bearer
bonds.
587
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,680
If I could have found somebody
with bearer bonds that have been
588
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,680
different.
Anyway, I met her at the Essex
589
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:56,440
House and it snowed and we got
stuck there for like 3 or 4
590
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:02,160
nights and it was just amazing
because New York stopped, which
591
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:06,200
is generally doesn't do, but it
was, it was the train stopped.
592
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:11,000
That's how bad the snow was.
You know, and I think about that
593
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,280
have been mid 80s now.
I can't imagine the, the only
594
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:15,760
thing that stops New York is
floods.
595
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,520
You know, snow just slows it
down because the whole time it
596
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,600
worked an Intellij for like 10
years out of New York and it
597
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,640
snowed.
It was so beautiful the first
598
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,480
couple hours because it's just,
you know, it's wow.
599
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,120
It's all this beautiful color
and lights and snow dropping and
600
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:35,040
covering everything.
All the filthy, nasty garbage
601
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:40,320
and puke and just disgusting
pieces of humanity everywhere.
602
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:45,240
It's covered with white snow.
And so for about an hour and a
603
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,360
half, it's an amazing place.
It's the tittiest place in the
604
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,720
world.
And then the stuff melts and
605
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,560
it's just it, it never goes down
the gutter.
606
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,880
And so this, so the corner,
every corner is filled with this
607
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,760
soupy gunk that you can't tell
how deep it is until you step
608
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,480
into it.
So in the winter time you don't
609
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:10,880
wear loafers or like regular
leather shoes if you want to
610
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,360
keep them you.
Shouldn't wear leather shoes in
611
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,360
winter anyway?
I've done that and, and I've
612
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,400
done it because I had and I had
to impress people.
613
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:19,480
Yeah.
And, and I did.
614
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,120
I just, I stepped in one of
those things and my foot went
615
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,159
underwater and it filled with
water.
616
00:34:25,159 --> 00:34:27,199
And it was.
You know, you're talking about
617
00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:30,320
the little off the sidewalks
where you have all the melted
618
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,639
snow that's like black water.
Oh my God.
619
00:34:32,639 --> 00:34:35,040
Black mush, Yeah.
And you can't tell how deep it
620
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,120
is until you step in it and then
it's.
621
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:38,520
Like it's always a foot deep
too.
622
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:39,560
It's always.
The amazing.
623
00:34:39,639 --> 00:34:41,080
Thing that you've ever seen in
your life?
624
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,080
Yeah, it's crazy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
625
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,040
That's why you need boots.
And that's why all women in New
626
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,239
York start wearing boots really,
really quick.
627
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:50,679
And like, what the Hell's that
all about?
628
00:34:50,679 --> 00:34:53,760
It's, you know, it's such and
such and like, no, I mean, it's,
629
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:59,600
it's Scoogeville here.
When it's I have a conspiracy in
630
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:04,520
Virginia, the people that salt
the roads want you to not go to
631
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:09,120
work because sometimes they salt
the roads the night before.
632
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:13,160
Very rarely do they do that.
And then I think they say, oh,
633
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,840
we're going to do it again.
They never do.
634
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,200
And every time there's like an
inch and a half of snow, it's
635
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,160
the end of the world.
It's crazy.
636
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,760
Same thing with DC.
Well, you think, I think.
637
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,320
The infrastructure for it.
I think that the that there's a
638
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,520
Bunny situation there.
Oh, interesting.
639
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:34,040
I think that we, we allot
$1,000,000 for clearing the
640
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:38,480
roads, right?
And so it that's put away, put
641
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,440
into a bank and that's what
we're saving.
642
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,960
And then all of a sudden it
doesn't snow in December and it
643
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,000
doesn't snow in January.
And then all of a sudden
644
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,320
February, there's kind of a
ghost of a mist and it's like
645
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,000
all the trucks are out and
everything's around and
646
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,480
everything's sprayed six ways
from Sunday.
647
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,880
And you're like, they're
spending that money, you know,
648
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,720
they're, they start salting the
roads and it's raining or
649
00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:01,360
something, you know, like, what
the hell are you doing?
650
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,120
It's like we're spending last
year's budget.
651
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,600
We want to get more, you know,
And then, and then usually what
652
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,840
happens is they cut the budget
2, two years in a row and then
653
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,040
all of a sudden a big Snoke
happens and then everybody's
654
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,680
stuck, you know, but they've
been pretty good here.
655
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,320
I mean, you know, we, we, they,
they cleared our Rd.
656
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,120
Sunday.
You know, I was, you know, we,
657
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,680
we, we ended up hiring somebody
to, to chop out the ice because
658
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,640
I made that mistake in it, the
whole driveway.
659
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,960
And as I've said, my, my
driveway is 40 yards long and
660
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,360
it's uphill.
And it was solid ice.
661
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,480
It was 5 inches ice and they
came down and with their hammers
662
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:45,720
and four guys dug it out.
Couple 100 bucks but they did it
663
00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:48,320
in like an hour.
I remember when they had to hire
664
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:53,280
people from West Virginia.
You come down, Was it 2012 or
665
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,160
was it after that?
I think, I think it was after
666
00:36:55,160 --> 00:37:00,200
that they hired people from West
Virginia with a a giant.
667
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:01,520
I can't even remember what it
was.
668
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,120
It was a giant machine.
It wasn't like Unloader.
669
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,240
Yeah, I think it was.
A lot of those, a lot of 950
670
00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:11,720
fives that the older ones like
the I think it's, I can't
671
00:37:11,720 --> 00:37:15,800
remember the brand yellow, not
Caterpillar, but they were 955
672
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,920
front end loaders and they have
a 1 yard bucket and they would
673
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,800
use them to and they get like 6
or 8 of them in the road and
674
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:27,880
they would drive down 495 or 95
and shovel and just take up
675
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,680
everything they could to get it
off the road.
676
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,480
And I mean, the problem is, is
that where there's no place to
677
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:39,720
put it, you know, or it's too
far away, you know, I mean, So
678
00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:41,480
what they really want to do is,
well, this is.
679
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,880
Just for our street.
I remember this is for our
680
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,800
street.
Well, when I was coming home
681
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:52,200
last last night, no night before
morning before Thursday morning,
682
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:57,360
which was yesterday, right?
I drove mom off yesterday and
683
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:01,720
when I was coming home they
didn't they, they have like 1
684
00:38:01,720 --> 00:38:05,800
1/2 lanes.
So people will tailgate you and
685
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,080
try to pass you and they'll try
to get you to move over into the
686
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,560
half lane so they can go past
you on the Parkway.
687
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,840
Well, coming back, it was pretty
clear.
688
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:21,520
And so I'm in the fast lane and
somebody else is in the and A
689
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:26,000
and a person is dead stopped in
a fast lane with their blinkers
690
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,040
on.
And I'm like, I, you know, I've
691
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,920
been driving that road 40 years.
I've never seen that.
692
00:38:31,240 --> 00:38:35,520
I've never seen somebody with
their flashers on in the fast
693
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:40,040
lane.
It's now meanwhile it is 610.
694
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,400
So it's black.
It's the sun doesn't rise till
695
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,560
7:30.
So it's black outside.
696
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,600
There are no lights on the
Parkway.
697
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,320
So you're going up and it's
dark.
698
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,400
It's real dark except for your
lights.
699
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,200
And you see these blinking
lights, you know, 100 meters as
700
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,760
you come around the corner, see
and you're, and you're right and
701
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,000
we're going 55 or something like
that.
702
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,480
So you're, you're moving on it
fast.
703
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:07,720
So then I hit my brake and I
slow down and I'm like cool, I
704
00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:10,080
didn't hit them.
And then I'm like and I look at
705
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,640
my rear view mirror immediately
like fuck, fuck, hit the brakes,
706
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,880
hit the brakes and then you boom
like a little crunch hit the
707
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:22,400
rear end passenger side, you
know, jumped out.
708
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,200
And this is the weird thing.
People are going around his and
709
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:30,760
my car at 50 miles an hour.
So I'm out there real quick
710
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,760
looking around the car.
I don't see any cracked anything
711
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,960
and nothing, nothing's wrong.
I look at it, I do it twice.
712
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:41,240
I have my my phone with the
light going across the rear
713
00:39:41,240 --> 00:39:42,360
bumper because that's where he
hit it.
714
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,800
And he goes, wow, I did, you
know, I thought I heard it.
715
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,320
You know, I'm like, must have
nothing.
716
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,840
Get back in, drive off.
As soon as I drive off, the wind
717
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:54,120
catches the the Fender and pulls
it out and pulls it loose
718
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,320
because all the fasteners were
broken, which I didn't realize
719
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,800
that.
So the rear bumper is and then,
720
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,640
but I only got his name.
I never I did.
721
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,720
I did the cardinal rule of
something that you should never
722
00:40:04,720 --> 00:40:07,800
do if you're ever in an accident
and doesn't look like anything's
723
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,160
wrong.
Still get the person's name and
724
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,480
information.
I should have done that.
725
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:12,760
I didn't do that.
That's stupid.
726
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,320
I have to pay for it myself.
Well, actually, I'm going to use
727
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,680
your inheritance, Zach.
Oh, well, thank you.
728
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,080
No.
My fuck up is going to cost you
729
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:25,440
$2000 and or Valerie, I can't
figure out who I'm going to
730
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,160
charge for that.
But anyway, anyway, I'm I'm
731
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,160
going to charge you guys for it
because I made a mistake.
732
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,880
But I learned something to
always get information and I'm
733
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,440
lucky enough that it's not going
to, you know, bankrupt me or
734
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,520
anything.
And hey, I mean, I did Steven a
735
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:39,720
solid.
That was his name.
736
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:41,600
I said, hey, what's your name?
And he goes, Steven.
737
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,120
I go, hi, I'm Phil.
I guess we're lucky.
738
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:50,040
No harm, no foul.
You can always take a picture of
739
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,800
the license plate.
Yeah, yeah, We think that.
740
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,680
I was standing there with a
phone right in front of his car,
741
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,960
and I couldn't even tell you.
It looked like it was a Beamer,
742
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:03,400
You know, I think it was
Maryland plates.
743
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:08,360
Of course, he was a nice guy.
He seemed very nice.
744
00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:10,320
He apologized to his guy.
He goes, I'm sorry.
745
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:11,320
I couldn't stop.
I tried.
746
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:16,400
And I'm like, fuck you, bitch.
Learn how to fucking drive.
747
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:21,480
That's what you got to do and.
He was like, I'm sorry, no, no,
748
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,480
I didn't do that.
I was like, you know, whatever.
749
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,400
But I didn't see any stuff.
Drove off and I had to pay the
750
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,520
consequences.
But the hey, that's life, you
751
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:33,920
know?
Yeah, I mean, it's not the first
752
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,840
accident, but I'm not hurt, you
know, maybe.
753
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,040
It'll be the last, you never
know.
754
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,440
Well, yeah, I think my last
accident is when I die.
755
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,080
I'm hoping.
You know.
756
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,320
The old I'll be messing around
with.
757
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,760
I'll be messing around with a
firearm and not know that it's
758
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,440
loaded.
Oops, I always look down the
759
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:55,000
barrel to see if it's loaded.
I I look down the barrel and
760
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,240
pull the trigger.
Yep, it's empty.
761
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,000
What are you going to do?
If it's not, Oh well.
762
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:07,920
That's not the guy at the the
firing range that was shooting.
763
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,360
It was so funny.
I love this video.
764
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,760
He's like shooting and then he,
the guy's like, you hold it like
765
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,960
this and he's like, like what?
And then he turns around, he has
766
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:15,840
a load of firearm.
He's pointing at the guy.
767
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,360
Well, you see that, you know,
But I was, I was surprised when
768
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,400
I remember when we were on the
firing range, you and me.
769
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,280
Yeah.
What is that Quantico?
770
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,840
Oh yeah, I remember the guy, the
range master or whoever the guy
771
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,480
was that he was teaching that
taught me how to shoot a with a
772
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,360
handgun.
I mean, I was shocked that, you
773
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:42,600
know, 10 minutes of lessons just
made it so much easier.
774
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,520
Yeah, these times there's
professionals that have been
775
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:49,320
doing it for 40 years, so.
Yeah, but I went from no plates
776
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:54,360
at 25 feet to five out of six.
So amazing.
777
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:59,080
And it was just how to shoot,
how to hold the weapon, how to
778
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:04,080
when to aim, what to do with
your breathing function when
779
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:09,400
you're when you're aiming, just
silly little four or five little
780
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:10,840
things.
But you got to do them.
781
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,960
It's just like golf.
If you do them perfectly, you
782
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,040
get a good shot.
If you don't do them, you know,
783
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,480
you just like you bend your
knees, you one, you got to be
784
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,680
got to hold your club belt right
behind the ball.
785
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,320
It's got to be you got to take a
steady swing back and forward,
786
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,080
you know, and you got to do all
those 17 things.
787
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,600
And if you do, you get a tiger,
Tiger Woods hit, you know, but
788
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:34,520
unfortunately we get one of
those a game, not 18.
789
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,800
So or 40 or 70 shots, you know,
70 swings.
790
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:40,680
That's what you get.
You don't you get, you get a
791
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,560
couple, two or three that are
good and that makes you come
792
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:47,840
back the next day exactly like
weather, you know, weather.
793
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:49,920
I'm trying to think of anything
else.
794
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:51,920
What are the other horrible
weather things?
795
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:56,760
Oh, when Edwin and I went scuba
diving first time, he was going
796
00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:02,200
to teach me and we, we, we, we
bought the tanks through the
797
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,080
mail and I'm just not certified.
When he was certified, we went
798
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,560
to Florida, we went to the
springs and then we went to a
799
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:14,600
place called Troy, Troy Springs.
They had had a flooding and, and
800
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,200
hurricane had hit the week
before we got there.
801
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:22,360
And this would have been in 71
or 7074 probably.
802
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,880
I was probably 16 then because I
think I was driving.
803
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:29,040
So that would have been 76
anyway.
804
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,720
Yeah, I was smoking weed.
Yeah, it was 76 anyway.
805
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:38,880
And we were driving the old Fury
and we went to Branford.
806
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,360
We go, we go into the Troy
Springs, which is just off the
807
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,720
Swanee River.
It's like 100 feet deep.
808
00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:48,360
It's like a straight down thing.
And it's got 1 cave in the side
809
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:49,760
of it.
And we're there and there's a
810
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,200
cop there and it's the end of
the day.
811
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,240
It's like 4 or five.
And we're just looking going
812
00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:55,320
like, yeah, we're going to go
dive and you're not going to go
813
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:56,080
dive an hour.
Yeah.
814
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,000
And I'm going like, Nah, we're
going to wait till the morning
815
00:44:58,720 --> 00:45:00,000
as well.
You may not want to dive here.
816
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,160
And it's like why it goes well,
we had a couple divers go down
817
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:07,520
there and they haven't come back
and it's like 4-5 in the
818
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,080
afternoon.
Well, when did it go down?
819
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:14,360
9:30 this morning.
And I'm like, and it's just,
820
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,960
it's dark.
All the in the springs in
821
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:23,200
Florida are crystal clear 99% of
the time.
822
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,640
This was black.
It was just, you couldn't see
823
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,000
anything.
And it's like, wow, that I
824
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,120
thought it was so clear.
It's not clear at all.
825
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,080
You said, well, it's all stirred
up.
826
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,280
Everything's stirred up
everything.
827
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,640
You know, that's why they can't
see the body, you know, can't
828
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,760
find the bodies.
And there it was, you know, so
829
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,840
we didn't dive there that night
or day.
830
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:45,640
I did dive there later.
That's where I think I dove.
831
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:51,880
It's my first sub 90 foot dive.
I think I went to the bottom.
832
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,000
I was trying to find out how
deep I could go.
833
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,880
I'm holding the you.
You have the gauge on your wrist
834
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:04,800
and I'm holding it.
I'm going like 506070809294 and
835
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,880
I'm on the bottom of Troy
Springs and I'm sticking my
836
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,840
hand.
I'm moving rocks out of the way
837
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,360
trying to get deeper.
And I got like, I got to, I want
838
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,600
to get to 100 feet and I got to
like 96 or 95 or something like
839
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,000
that.
It was somewhere in that range.
840
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,720
I forgot what the exact number
was, but it was 90 something.
841
00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:22,600
And I was like, damn, I want to
go down to 100 and I, because I
842
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:26,000
want to say I dove to 100 feet,
you know, it's sort of a thing,
843
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:31,320
you know, And it was like my
third time I'd ever gone scuba
844
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:34,400
diving.
So I was going to kill myself
845
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,320
because I was really stupid, you
know?
846
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,480
But the weather was, you see,
I'm trying to think of other.
847
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:42,720
Well, that's like the the first
time we went to Mongolia, it
848
00:46:42,720 --> 00:46:45,240
hailed, and I thought that was
the weirdest thing.
849
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:50,960
Yeah, it hailed the first day me
and Christian went, and it's so
850
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:52,440
odd.
We're like, is that hail?
851
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,640
Yeah, that's hail.
How big?
852
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:59,040
Very, very probably the biggest
hail golf balls.
853
00:46:59,240 --> 00:47:00,120
Balls I've ever seen.
Yeah.
854
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,160
About golf ball size, yeah.
That's crazy when you see it
855
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:04,800
that big.
I've seen it that big here.
856
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:09,880
I've seen it as big as this big,
like almost like a baseball near
857
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,480
baseball.
When I was in, I was sitting in
858
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:16,160
the back in the hot tub.
I came in because it, it
859
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,560
started, it was just weird and
it started hailing and then I
860
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,040
looked down on the ground and I
was like, and it's gone like in
861
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,320
minutes because it's ice.
But it's just like, this is so
862
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:29,800
weird, so big, you know, huge
hail.
863
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,200
But I wonder about damage and
stuff like that.
864
00:47:33,720 --> 00:47:35,640
You know, that's the great
insurance scams.
865
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:39,080
After that, Edwin's been through
a lot of hurricanes.
866
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:40,240
I don't.
I mean, we don't.
867
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:45,040
We get them occasionally here,
but usually they miss Northern
868
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,440
Virginia.
You know, for us, it's at this
869
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,200
snowstorm.
Hopefully we'll get more snow,
870
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,400
and that'll be nice.
And a lot of people don't like
871
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:54,520
snow.
I love snow.
872
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,840
I love it.
I wouldn't sneeze a little bit,
873
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:06,080
you know, I want to do what is
that the crazy weather?
874
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,560
If we've been in, didn't we
weren't in.
875
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:10,080
I mean, there was no crazy
weather when we're in
876
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,720
Antarctica, was there?
It was just low.
877
00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:18,440
Clouds which other than?
The final two days there were we
878
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,360
got, we got fogged.
Yeah, the final two days we got
879
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,760
fogged in and then the we had to
go a different way through the
880
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:27,480
Straits of Magellan or whatever
it was and.
881
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:33,080
And that sucked, Yeah.
We weren't even like in it.
882
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,240
We were near it and, well, they.
Don't have just.
883
00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:41,760
Being near it sucks bad, yeah.
Yeah, just being near.
884
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,280
Yeah, you don't want to be at
the top of the boat, you want to
885
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:45,680
be at the bottom.
Yeah, 'cause.
886
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,800
I remember being at the top and
being like, oh, I'm going to
887
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,520
fucking die.
I'm I'm.
888
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,000
Not me, I was just getting
hammered.
889
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:57,480
So see, well, I think it was the
residual hangover with the the
890
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:01,600
sea sickness that was just not
good.
891
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:05,200
Yeah, there's something about
boats and alcohol where it's
892
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,440
kind of like fishing and alcohol
or it's kind of like golf and
893
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,440
alcohol.
You only do it to drink.
894
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,680
And that's the least.
That's the way cruises are for
895
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:14,920
me.
Yeah, exactly.
896
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,080
The only reason you're going
Galapagos was that way.
897
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,560
Oh my gosh, I think that was I
was blackout.
898
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:28,280
Drunk, maybe the whole time.
1111 1/2 days of a nine day
899
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,160
trip.
We, we, we, we were blackout.
900
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:35,360
Well, I remember you're like, we
got to get up tomorrow at 5:00
901
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:39,360
to go see the boobies or
whatever, the birds.
902
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:40,320
Yeah, blue footed.
Boobies.
903
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,000
And we got up at 5:00 and we
didn't even get there till like
904
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,160
8 and I was like this is so
fucking stupid.
905
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:49,680
And we got there and then
instead of like, allowing to
906
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:54,880
walk around the island, we had
to stay with the guy, which I
907
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:56,960
understand.
I guess you can't really
908
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,680
permitted and things like that,
'cause it's the last ecological
909
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:03,840
thing in the world or what have
you.
910
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,280
But yeah, 'cause you couldn't,
like, speed run it, which is
911
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:09,600
what I thought we were going to
be able to do.
912
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:10,520
We're going to be like, all
right, cool.
913
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:12,800
Here's the bird.
Here's the frigate bird.
914
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,400
Here's the other bird.
Yeah, they drop us on one side
915
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,000
and we go.
And then and then four hours
916
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,000
later, we were finally about to
go back and I was like.
917
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,040
Yeah, yeah, that was some bad
sweating.
918
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:25,000
Well, that was, I mean you know,
when we did Santa Maria and we
919
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:28,680
climbed the mountain, remember
that We drank until around
920
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,680
11/11/30.
That might be the most hungover
921
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,400
ever been in my entire.
Life, that was the worst.
922
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:37,120
We we drank a bottle of Stoli's
between US.
923
00:50:37,720 --> 00:50:39,600
And.
I don't even remember 2 hours.
924
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:45,080
And then we got up, we went to
bed downstairs at around 11
925
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:51,000
something, I don't know, 1520.
We had a wake up call at 4:00
926
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:55,800
AM.
We we got up and then and then
927
00:50:56,200 --> 00:51:02,280
we went to a hostel and then we
got loaded into boxes that took
928
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,160
us to the base of the mountain.
Then we then we climbed the
929
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:11,800
mountain that day from first
light until Oh my God.
930
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:15,440
And then when we got back to the
bottom and we ate that burrito.
931
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:19,040
Oh my gosh, that was amazing.
That's what I realized, what it
932
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,200
was all for it.
Was it was so you would feel
933
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,680
that feeling.
Because I was drunk until
934
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,480
halfway up that mountain, I.
Think, Oh, yeah, yeah, you, you
935
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:31,640
were, you were sweaty, smelly.
I was so drunk.
936
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,720
I would, I would I?
I didn't have to know the path.
937
00:51:34,720 --> 00:51:36,520
I could just smell you as you
were going by.
938
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,400
Yeah.
Oh yeah, that's nice.
939
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:39,600
Yeah, sure.
No.
940
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:43,840
Well man, I the only thing that
shocked me is that I was not
941
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,160
last.
I was surprised you were going
942
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:50,040
to make it because I remember we
were all pale faced at the top
943
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,520
and it was.
We were pale faced 20 fucking
944
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,840
minutes into the walk.
I was already like when we
945
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:58,000
remember we were walking up the
road.
946
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:02,480
I'm going it was way.
Harder than anybody talked about
947
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,280
it being.
It was hard like that was that
948
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,360
was difficult.
Yeah, but Shaw's daughters were
949
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,360
with us and they're like.
Well, they're there are
950
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:12,720
athletes.
Yeah, I know.
951
00:52:12,720 --> 00:52:15,480
They're definitely athletes.
Yeah, and I wouldn't.
952
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,360
Consider myself I didn't have
anything to do today, so I
953
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,000
didn't have anything fun to do.
So I decided to run 10 miles
954
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:24,200
uphill in the sand.
I do want to do this thing. 40
955
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:27,840
LB boots.
Called the the walk to San Diego
956
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:31,480
where I come out of my my
apartment, right and I just walk
957
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:34,840
to San Diego.
I think you know what I want to
958
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:36,600
do.
I want to do the narrows.
959
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,480
Why don't you do the walk to San
Diego with me?
960
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:42,680
You imagine doing the narrows.
We walked from my apartment to
961
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:46,800
San Diego on the birds side.
It it will, it would take a week
962
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:48,320
probably.
Really.
963
00:52:48,720 --> 00:52:53,040
Yeah, it's like 200 miles.
That's more than a week, dude.
964
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,560
You think so?
That's like a month really
965
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:59,400
that's half of the Camino Del so
so but if you it's three days.
966
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:03,600
Straight just walking so it's
probably like 6. 72 hours.
967
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,640
Yeah.
So it's probably like.
968
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:10,360
Three days?
You're kidding me.
969
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:12,400
Really.
Yeah.
970
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:18,760
So I would adjust it by adding
two days or three days because
971
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,840
that's generally when you drive.
If it's like a seven day drive
972
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:25,920
straight, yeah, it's like 14
days or like probably like 9
973
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:29,080
days.
So 2 hours, 35 minute drive.
974
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,240
The walk would take two days and
18 hours.
975
00:53:31,240 --> 00:53:34,840
It's it's 50 miles.
It's 132 miles.
976
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:38,680
Oh, is San Diego with within 50
miles of LA?
977
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:42,800
No, San Diego's roughly 120
miles and.
978
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:47,200
It takes 132, yeah.
Yeah. 5000 foot climb too.
979
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,480
That's a mountain. 5000.
Yeah.
980
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:54,680
San Diego's not downhill.
I think in the middle there's a
981
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:58,200
mountain that goes up.
Yeah, because you.
982
00:53:58,200 --> 00:53:59,640
Get.
Well, the one I wanted to do
983
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:01,560
was.
What do you call it?
984
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:10,320
Pamplona was to walk the first
leg of the El Camino from to
985
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,360
Pamplona and then go run with
the bulls that'd.
986
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:15,360
Be cool.
We would do that.
987
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:16,800
We should do that.
Not that we want to do it this
988
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:17,920
year.
We could walk.
989
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,960
Unless you want to do it, you
want to do it, you want to do it
990
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,240
this year.
We could walk from Los Angeles
991
00:54:22,240 --> 00:54:24,960
to Canada.
But you don't have that much
992
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:28,040
time.
No, I would need to quit my job
993
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:29,960
to do that.
Yeah.
994
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,800
There's this guy I know that
just biked from Portugal to
995
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:38,400
Japan and he did it on a $15,000
budget and it's been about a
996
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:42,240
year and he's only spent like 9
grand.
997
00:54:42,240 --> 00:54:46,200
I'm like, how did you do that?
Well, I mean, you, you a lot of
998
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:50,440
that is, is living off the land.
The hostel, yeah.
999
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,400
He's in the.
Middle of nowhere, yeah.
1000
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:55,160
Yeah, the generosity of others
not paying for food.
1001
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,280
Oh, you want a sandwich?
Yeah, that'll be enough food for
1002
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,600
me to last till the dinner so I
don't have to pay.
1003
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,560
He didn't go through Afghanistan
either, so I'm curious where he
1004
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:04,640
went.
Yeah, there was another guy that
1005
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:08,040
I followed that went through
Afghanistan and then he was also
1006
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,040
in China as well.
So how?
1007
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:11,200
What do you think the weather
is?
1008
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,160
What's the worst weather you've
ever faced?
1009
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,520
Well, this guy biked through
Mongolia in the winter and I'm
1010
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,600
like, well, that's, that's
crazy.
1011
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:22,480
How did that's dying?
I mean, I, I have to think the
1012
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:27,600
coldest weather I've ever faced
was Fenland in the winter time.
1013
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:32,680
In January.
It was -29 So that's, that's
1014
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:34,960
cool.
I know that's real cool.
1015
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:42,920
It was -29 C whatever that is,
which is like 17 below 15 and it
1016
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:44,160
was, but the wind wasn't
blowing.
1017
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:46,120
So it wasn't, you know, as long
as the wind wasn't blowing, it
1018
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:48,680
was OK.
I remember Chicago in the winter
1019
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:54,400
time, Lakeshore Drive, the wind
coming off is just it just,
1020
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:57,840
there's just nothing you can do.
You know how you just get that
1021
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,800
chilly, bone chilly, nasty
stuff?
1022
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:06,160
Or when I was in college, my
first year in Norfolk, it rained
1023
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:09,760
the month of December and it
stayed the temperature never
1024
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:14,280
went above 40.
So every day you had that.
1025
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:19,720
You know how you when your
spine's cold just like just just
1026
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,760
inside, you can't, you can, you
can light, you take a match and
1027
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,280
you put it on your hand and you
wouldn't even care because
1028
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:29,360
you're inside.
You're so freaking cold, you
1029
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:33,600
know, you know, just wow.
I remember we would take
1030
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:38,560
multiple hot showers a day, you
know, just to, to re warm your
1031
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:39,800
body.
It's just crazy.
1032
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,720
Different types of water.
I don't remember a lot of crazy
1033
00:56:43,720 --> 00:56:46,400
weather growing up, you know?
Only now.
1034
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:48,160
Major ones, yeah.
Yeah.
1035
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,960
You see, you're more, you pay
more attention to it.
1036
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:55,440
I think things like that, you
know, great heat waves and stuff
1037
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:57,320
like that.
Walking through the bottom of
1038
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:00,560
the desert at 110°, that's.
Not yeah, I remember.
1039
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:03,080
That oh, it's wonderful.
You had a great time, A. 109
1040
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:04,480
degrees.
Oh my God, yeah.
1041
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:06,320
Yeah.
That was insane.
1042
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:08,800
You had the little the little
temperature gauge on.
1043
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:10,200
I would do it after.
October.
1044
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:12,120
If I ever do it ever again.
Yeah.
1045
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:13,200
Oh.
I didn't care.
1046
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:15,880
Because that was in October and
it was still 109°.
1047
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:17,320
It was.
October.
1048
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,640
I think so, right?
It was it was it.
1049
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:22,040
But The thing is, this is a
great experience.
1050
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:24,440
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that was
great.
1051
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:28,160
But I would do it later.
It was a little long for you at
1052
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:30,520
that age.
I was like 9 years old, yeah.
1053
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,680
Yeah, you were nine and it was
10 miles, or you were 10 and it
1054
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:35,040
was 10 miles.
It was one of the others.
1055
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:37,160
Which is like 40 miles for a 10
year old.
1056
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:38,840
What?
Whatever.
1057
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:42,000
Yeah.
Being your whiny self, you know.
1058
