Season's Greetings

1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:06,440
Welcome back to another episode
of a record of my father coming

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,280
to you.
Now I'm not blurry anymore,

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,560
which is nice.
I think that it's a it's a

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,000
better that you can see the
microphone that I'm talking to.

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:15,680
How are you doing?
How are you doing over there?

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,240
Who?
Are you talking to me?

7
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:18,280
Yeah, I think so.
Oh.

8
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,280
OK Oh, I'm doing good.
I'm doing great.

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,600
We were we were talking about
what, what, what, what kind of

10
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,520
topics we cover.
We said, yeah, what about

11
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,040
Christmas cards?
And then we immediately got in a

12
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,440
fight over that.
And then when we talk about

13
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,240
Christmas ornaments and it's
like, what are you going to do

14
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,480
with Christmas ornaments over
time and little things like

15
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:35,480
that, I think it is, it is the
holidays.

16
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:38,040
So we should talk about, you
know, the the happiness and the

17
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,360
holidays.
And I kind.

18
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,680
Of like the.
I kind of like the idea of

19
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:46,000
starting with something like
that and just, you know,

20
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:49,800
meandering through life because
that's kind of what we do.

21
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:51,800
We have so many Christmas
ornaments too.

22
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,880
If I remember all those ones
that I made when I was when I

23
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,080
was a kid from preschool on, I
remember there was that, what

24
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,440
was that guy the the snowman
made out of like socks or

25
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:02,960
something with the right you
made.

26
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,319
All that stuff that we had a
key.

27
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,640
We still have it too.
No, I set it on fire.

28
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,120
Oh, you did?
I was thinking about it.

29
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,080
I think that'd be pretty cool.
But.

30
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,200
And when you come back, yeah,
that's what we I guess we could

31
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,840
set up the tree when I'm back
because I'm back on the what is

32
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:17,840
it the 15th?
Yeah.

33
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,080
Yeah, so.
Yeah, we'll do that.

34
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,920
We could do that.
We we got rid of the big one, We

35
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,120
now have just a small one.
You just wait.

36
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,280
You got rid of the big one, the
one that was falling.

37
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,640
Apart one that was falling
apart.

38
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,240
We gave that away.
Nah.

39
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,320
Yeah, but it really.
Wasn't falling apart, it was

40
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:35,320
still a three-part.
It was just a pain to bring

41
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:39,440
downstairs and set up and it and
it was you know an 8 foot tree

42
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,440
or 7 foot or whatever, six.
I you know, it was a tall tree.

43
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,280
It held a million ornaments.
We would, I would bring

44
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,080
everything down.
She would put it all on.

45
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:52,000
She would get tired of it by
like the 26th and and be like,

46
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,280
let's take it down.
I always had a dream of just

47
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,000
leaving it up all year and so we
never had to bring it down.

48
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,320
I thought that that was always
my.

49
00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,920
Well, that would be fine.
Exactly.

50
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,920
But it took a corner of the room
that we have, like certain

51
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,480
things that were in that corner
that got covered.

52
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,680
But nothing's been there in
years, right?

53
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,480
I don't think that.
No, we have, we have a the like

54
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,840
a fan, the fan.
What's that thing that you get

55
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,200
behind?
Put your clothes on.

56
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,720
Oh, the.
I know what you're talking

57
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,920
about.
What is that called?

58
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,800
I forget.
It's like a screen, right?

59
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:27,320
Is that is that?
A screen the.

60
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:29,280
Yeah, the Chinese screen, yeah,
yeah.

61
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,080
Yeah, that's what I was
thinking.

62
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,760
About really a screen though,
It's like a.

63
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,040
Well, yeah, you can.
You can get dressed behind it.

64
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,160
That's what people do.
You get dressed.

65
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,200
Behind a lot of things.
No, no.

66
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,520
But when him and her and I got
married, she was in a one

67
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,640
bedroom and in the bedroom that
sort of like cordoned off an

68
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:47,800
area where you would go there to
get dressed.

69
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,560
So if you had any type of like
whatever, you know, you you it,

70
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,640
it just sort of, it gives you
this modicum of I wake up in the

71
00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:59,880
morning and I, you know, and I
come out of the shower and I

72
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,400
don't want some weird dude that
I'm getting married to staring

73
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,400
at me or vice versa, you know?
You know you get you.

74
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,960
It's a certain amount of
modesty, I guess.

75
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,120
Is that different?
You know how?

76
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,040
Dare you?
How dare you be modest?

77
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,560
You being modest when is this
but.

78
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,720
Yeah, I know that's that's
really messed up.

79
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:19,880
No.
Have you thrown any of the

80
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:21,800
ornaments away or do we still
have?

81
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,840
No, I think, I think that we're
we're getting to that point and

82
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,680
it's funny we.
Talk about ornaments, yeah.

83
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,040
There's certain things that
happen around this time that,

84
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,600
you know, probably there's
there's always something like

85
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,600
everybody has to do.
They sometimes do Christmas

86
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,840
letters or they do Christmas
cards, or they do pic or they do

87
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,280
cards with pictures, or they buy
just cards or they send

88
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,440
electronic cards or they send
out notices and say we're not

89
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,400
sending anything, we're just
going to donate a, you know,

90
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,760
$100 to the Red Cross or
whatever the case.

91
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,440
So there's like all these
different ways, you know, and

92
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:02,560
I've and in being in business in
345 successive companies, this

93
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,600
was one of the things that I
helped decide.

94
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,800
So you know, how do we, how do
we reach out to our customers at

95
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,680
the holiday time and say blah,
blah, blah.

96
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,280
And it's like now I'm at home.
So it's how do you reach out to

97
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,160
your customers, which are your
friends and family and all them.

98
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:19,560
I I do that and I have a lot of
the people that I work with.

99
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,840
I used to send cards to too, you
know, over the years because we

100
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:29,520
kind of follow each other from
place to place, but it's and

101
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,200
it's somewhat important for me.
And it was never, I mean she

102
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,400
really didn't care, you know,
she's like why are you, you

103
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,200
know, you you cut down a tree to
mail something to someone that

104
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,320
says you care for them once a
year and you you care enough to

105
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,600
put their name on the envelope
and then you don't even have

106
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,320
care that much.
You actually have them all pre

107
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,040
printed, so you don't care
except to sign your name and

108
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,120
send it.
My thing is, like, well, as you

109
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,040
talk to these people once a year
and then it's always like, oh,

110
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,480
we're going to get together at
some point.

111
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,080
We're going to do something and
then you never do.

112
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,280
And then it's just kind of this
hospitality that's not real.

113
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,040
It's not a real hospitality
thing.

114
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,160
It's.
It's an invitation, yeah.

115
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,080
That you can, you can capitalize
on in any year you wish.

116
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,960
That's what I think.
Well, to me, it's always that

117
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,520
idea that it's kind of like
you're going to do something

118
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,000
nice for somebody.
Like, you offer it, but in your

119
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,320
mind, you would hope that they
were nice enough to understand

120
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,640
that you really don't want to do
it right.

121
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,680
So then, like, they don't take
you up on your offer, right?

122
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,040
But when they do accept your
offer, sometimes you're like,

123
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,720
how motherfucker?
Like, why do they, why do they

124
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,320
accept my offer?
To be nice to them?

125
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,040
I don't know.
You.

126
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,440
You.
You know, but over over time you

127
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,680
know when in life you you look
around and you start to realize

128
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,640
that those are how you build
long term relationships.

129
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,200
I mean, those are the people
that that.

130
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,320
Long term relationships, they
mean nothing.

131
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,560
Yeah.
No, I understand that.

132
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,760
Well, I don't know.
If they mean nothing.

133
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,040
A lot of them do.
I mean, if you're sending

134
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,480
Christmas cards to 300.
People.

135
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,120
Yeah, yeah.
I I think a fair amount of them

136
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,480
are are are just sort of like
keeping a some communication

137
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,160
link open between relatives that
are.

138
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,600
I mean I have most of my
relatives are distant.

139
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,600
I'm not real close to any, a few
of them, just a few.

140
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,280
I mean my not my immediate
family and my wife's immediate

141
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:15,280
family and then a little bit of
the extended family.

142
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:17,120
But beyond that, it's just, you
know, if you're out of state,

143
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,800
you're out of mind pretty much,
you know and some people in

144
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,480
state out of mind.
You know, it's like you don't,

145
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,120
you know, the best you get is,
you know a like on Facebook, you

146
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,880
know.
So it's a very it's it's you

147
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,280
know, I think.
It's the way it.

148
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:34,600
Is I.
Was just going to say that I

149
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,120
would read the the paragraphs
that people write about what

150
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,720
they did in a year and I was
just like oh please no, wait, I

151
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,600
don't know what that is.
Well, your.

152
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,760
Mother feels the same way.
It's just this braggado show

153
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,480
thing of what I've done and da
da, da, da, da da.

154
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,560
And then there's other people
that are laid down 37 ailments

155
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,440
that they they had.
I broke my toe then.

156
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,160
My ankle got tripped, then my
wife fired me and then I got

157
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,640
fired from my job and now I'm in
the gutter and I'm hammered.

158
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:04,440
Knocking fires in Hawaii?
That's not good, That's.

159
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,240
The That's the worst.
Yeah, that's not good.

160
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,600
But yeah, and it always seemed
like a piece of narcissism

161
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,960
written down.
Let's just.

162
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,280
Well, you're talking to the
biggest narcissist you've ever

163
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,880
met, so that's true.
And that's why we're always

164
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,800
going to have different
opinions, I think, on that, Yes.

165
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,280
Well, that's fine.
You have a Christmas card, I'm

166
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:25,520
OK with.
Are you sending one out this

167
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:26,600
You're?
Wrong and I'm right.

168
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:27,920
'Cause I remember you sent one
out.

169
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,360
Was it last year or two years
ago?

170
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,640
And I was it was just the worst
photo of us.

171
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,800
I'm like, this is supposed to
make us look good.

172
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,320
It's it's kind of you're doing
the opposite when it makes us

173
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,880
look bad.
I didn't care.

174
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,720
I think see, I think the thing.
Is is that you guys were you

175
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,560
don't want to look bad and me, I
kind of almost think that's

176
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,560
funny.
Yeah, that I guess that is, you

177
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,880
know.
Yeah, yeah.

178
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,440
I mean, it's like, you know,
everybody else is sending out

179
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,080
that great Christmas picture.
And here's the Browns.

180
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,120
You know Phil's got his mouth
open with with crap in his

181
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,320
teeth.
Zach's over there looking off in

182
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,880
the distance going like, wow,
why am I here?

183
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,880
And and the wife's, of course,
is she's Hiccuppy.

184
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,760
You know, there was some guy
that pulled out that the photo

185
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,040
from them and they're like, wow,
they look like shit, God.

186
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,080
I know.
But I made that guy's weak.

187
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,800
He's like, you know, this makes
me feel better because the

188
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,880
picture we sent out, you know, I
didn't think it was that great.

189
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,280
But now you know, when I see the
Browns, it's just so.

190
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,320
So what I did is I I made a lot
of people feel good that year.

191
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,960
And that that's pretty funny,
isn't?

192
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,880
That kind of different.
That's pretty funny.

193
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:27,920
I like that.
I mean, kind of.

194
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,440
What's a?
Shitty photo you got that's.

195
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,000
In the giving spirit, yeah, it
definitely is.

196
00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:36,080
Yeah, that's that's fun.
Yeah, think about it.

197
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,559
I mean it, You know, this is a
this is a time of year when when

198
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,159
people that are alone are really
alone.

199
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:44,200
Yeah.
When it's more acknowledged,

200
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:45,480
yeah.
When you see all these people,

201
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,280
yeah, not surrounded by their
family.

202
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,440
Sadness comes out of the
woodwork, you know?

203
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,840
Oh yeah, like you know it.
Either happiness or sadness,

204
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,840
depending upon what you are.
It gets accentuated around this

205
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,560
time.
I mean, my mother was always

206
00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:00,080
like, what do?
You mean by sad?

207
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,960
A time of year?
Well, that's when her mother

208
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,560
died, and that's when her
grandfather died and I.

209
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:07,720
Think there was.
Yeah, there was a couple, two or

210
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,040
three people that dropped dead
right in like the twenty 20th to

211
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,320
the 27th, you know, So it's
like, hey, if you're going to

212
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,360
die, can you try not to die
around Christmas 'cause that's

213
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,800
when everybody dies In the Brown
family, you do it.

214
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,280
You do it after after Christmas
maybe?

215
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,120
Do it after.
Do it in our January.

216
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,920
No one gives a crap about
January.

217
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,360
There's no holidays, You know?
You can go ahead and die then.

218
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,080
Then everybody gets up and then
they get off a Friday to go to

219
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,520
your funeral.
You know, that's kind of cool.

220
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:38,000
When's the right time to dine?
Maybe that that'll be a good.

221
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,800
Title for the Well, it was going
to be a little bit about

222
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,800
Christmas, you know?
And I was looking at some of the

223
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,160
Christmas photos and it's like.
I got an idea.

224
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,160
Christmas question mark, right
time to dine, question mark.

225
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,120
I think that's oh God, that's a
great.

226
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,400
When is the When is the right
time to die?

227
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,600
I've got I was doing it.
I was doing a hike today.

228
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,960
Whenever you're and I brought.
That up.

229
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,680
And I brought that up.
No, no, I brought that up.

230
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:01,720
With a bunch of people.
Yeah.

231
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,920
And I was just like, OK, so
you're you're as you get older

232
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,120
you start to like realize that,
you know I have less years left

233
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,240
than I've spent by like a long
shot, you know.

234
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,800
And and realistically at what
point do you as a person say

235
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:27,120
it's time and do you, do you, do
you like if you have dementia

236
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,680
like that kind of runs in my
family.

237
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,080
So I'm going to be a pudding
head.

238
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,800
So from that perspective that
makes me say that you will have

239
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,840
to change me or Valerie will
have to change me.

240
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,880
You will have to, you will have
to become in charge of me,

241
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,200
right.
You will be like I will now have

242
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:51,680
to think for my father who's
never even let me think at all

243
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,240
or finish a sentence in his
lifetime.

244
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,680
So.
So when you think that through

245
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:02,440
and be like Oh my God and see I
you know the reason I I'm so on

246
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,280
this because my mother died that
way and it was it was just it

247
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,520
was ugly.
It was horrible to watch to

248
00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:13,760
watch somebody go through the
you know I think it was like 5

249
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,280
years of dementia before she
died.

250
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,320
It was just.
What's the I thought she had

251
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,400
Alzheimer's.
Alzheimer's.

252
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:20,240
Yeah.
Alzheimer's.

253
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,080
Dementia.
They're kind of.

254
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:22,800
You know, they're almost
synonymous.

255
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,720
Slowly your slowly your mind
goes away and you know you see

256
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,480
it and there's there's some
comical stuff in the beginning

257
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,120
and you can make fun of it and
laugh about it.

258
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,760
I mean, we did.
That and we kind of happens.

259
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,640
You're gonna have to laugh at it
and or else you're not gonna

260
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,280
sadness be able to Pierce
through the other side.

261
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:39,640
Right.
I was talking about that, 'cause

262
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,320
I said every, every, every
Sunday morning, My brother,

263
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:48,760
who's no longer with us and I
and you and and my mother, we

264
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:56,640
pick her up at the Oak Oakton
Center like the they they had,

265
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:57,960
they had an Alzheimer's center
there.

266
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:58,720
We.
Pick her up.

267
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,000
It's 7:30 in the morning on a
Sunday.

268
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,400
Valerie was still asleep.
The wife was happy because I

269
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,640
took the little scrawling brat
with me.

270
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,000
Right.
That would be you.

271
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,320
At that time I would throw.
You three or something.

272
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,200
No, you weren't even one.
I'd stick you in the back of the

273
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,040
Ford Explorer and I'd hop in.
I'd drive off, and then I'd meet

274
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,800
Seth there, right?
We'd pick up my can he meet me

275
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,160
at the home?
Because it was.

276
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,080
It was halfway between our
houses.

277
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,240
She was over in Oakton.
And because that's why it was

278
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:33,440
called Oakton Brilliant.
Anyway, naming was not there.

279
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,960
Forte Sunrise.
The Oakton Sunrise.

280
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,120
Anyway, I would then we'd pick
her up and then drive down 66

281
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,240
and go to Haynes Point and we
get a six pack of Bush tall boys

282
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,160
at 711 on the way before we even
hit 66.

283
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,120
Then we drive in to the golf
course.

284
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,520
We parked there.
We'd be there like 815, and we

285
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:58,920
popped the first round of beers
and my mother would like, we

286
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,880
look at her and we go, what do
you say?

287
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,720
And she goes head for the
mountains, which is the, you

288
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,760
know, when you hear the Bush,
head for the mountains, that's

289
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:13,000
the that's the whole moniker.
But we would do this Sunday,

290
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,680
every Sunday morning.
And the Bush, Bush, tall boys,

291
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,360
one morning you were screaming
and you know you were awake and

292
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,320
you're in the back seat, 'cause
she sat in the back seat with

293
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,800
you sets that in the front seat
with me.

294
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:25,520
Yeah.
And you were screaming.

295
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,960
And she was going quiet, be
quiet, quiet.

296
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,960
And then you went quiet.
And then I looked back, and she

297
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,480
had her hand over your mouth and
your nose, and she was holding

298
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,920
them, making you be quiet.
Oh my God.

299
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,360
I don't think she realized that
she was killing you, but I did.

300
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,040
So I thought, like, well, this
is not going to be good for

301
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,800
Valerie.
She's really going to be upset

302
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,080
if I brought her.
Home a dead baby.

303
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:51,840
And then I don't know how to
explain that.

304
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,240
And so that's like, what's the
problem?

305
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,720
And I'm like, I I pulled over on
66, like within 3 seconds I

306
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,040
nailed the brakes, 'cause I'm
freaked out, 'cause if she, I

307
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,280
don't know how long you can go
without oxygen at at six months,

308
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:10,720
OK, But it wasn't very long.
Anyway, I jumped out, jumped in

309
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,160
the back car, and then I, you
know, said no, you can't do

310
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,680
that.
Yeah, but he's quiet.

311
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,200
I mean, she did a crime.
That's when she meant it.

312
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,320
She's right.
She dot.

313
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:22,840
She did, she did.
It was that.

314
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,800
But well, The funny thing is is
brought her in the front seat,

315
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,080
Seth in the back seat, and then
you stopped crying.

316
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,800
Then Seth did the same thing.
That.

317
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,680
That's probably right.
He's probably sitting over there

318
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,880
going like, quiet.
I'll, I'll do what she did.

319
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,040
You're like, OK, I can't do
that.

320
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,680
That wouldn't be good.
No, it wouldn't be good.

321
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,400
Yeah.
Yeah.

322
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,400
But I I just, I I was talking to
them about that like so who do

323
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,000
you leave that to?
And then the problem is is it

324
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,600
like OK, I'm I'm, I'm what I am.
I have dementia.

325
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,080
I have Alzheimer's at what
point?

326
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,840
I mean I don't want to be
around.

327
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,760
I don't want you to experience
what I experienced.

328
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:09,680
I've heard people say when, in
particular that the test of

329
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,880
humanity is watching your
parents die, that's.

330
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,320
Supposed to be a humbling
experience, right?

331
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:17,880
Yeah.
And I don't know.

332
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,040
God it.
It is.

333
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,080
It is because if you, if you
think about it, I changed you

334
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:28,800
when you were this big, whatever
it is to about this big, and now

335
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,880
you will be doing that to me.
What do you mean by test of

336
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,360
humanity?
What do you what do you mean?

337
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,120
What is your definition?
I don't really know because

338
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,320
that's what the he said it, he
said.

339
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,480
It's like it it it it, it gives
you when your parents die.

340
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:47,280
That gives you a sense of that
life is not infinite anymore

341
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,080
seems.
A little arbitrary, I don't know

342
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,800
to make somebody suffer well.
It does.

343
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,640
Because if you're buying,
parents die and like, they're

344
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,120
seven and mine died in their 70s
and I think my fat dad was late

345
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,280
60s.
Anyway, when they die, it's

346
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,720
like, well, that's that's the
low bar on how long I'm gonna

347
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,120
live, right?
Yeah, you measure your life by

348
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,560
that.
Cause it's hereditary.

349
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,600
Yeah.
You know, I mean, if I die

350
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,400
tomorrow, you'd be like, you'd
be thinking like, well, I got

351
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,160
till I'm 64, unless I'm really
stupid and he was pretty stupid

352
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,640
and he abused himself bad.
So if I don't, you know, if I

353
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,680
don't drink 900 quarts of
bourbon between now and the end

354
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,520
of the week and I don't shoot
heroin and I don't do all this

355
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,240
other bad stuff, I'll be fine.
Exactly.

356
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,040
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.

357
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,480
You know, I think.
That's how people mention their

358
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,160
lives a lot of the time.
Because they I think it was

359
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,320
eating the goat balls.
That's probably the worst, but

360
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,600
that's.
Probably enhanced your life.

361
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,520
Yeah, that and the puffer.
Fish the puffer fish.

362
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,520
Yeah, I kissed a lot of puffer
fish.

363
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,200
You're not supposed to do that.
What are they?

364
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,160
What are the puffer fish tasted?
I did.

365
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,720
You eat it?
It's just sushi.

366
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,760
They cut it up and they put it
in and it's raw fish and to me

367
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:54,880
fish.
Tastes different.

368
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:56,920
Though it all tastes the same
that.

369
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,640
Doesn't make it.
You smoke a cigar, It doesn't

370
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,079
matter.
Well, that's like so it doesn't

371
00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:05,720
matter.
Give me 6 bourbons and you know

372
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,160
what it might as well be.
So you're saying salmon tastes

373
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,960
the same as cod?
Is that what you're saying?

374
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,680
No, that's.
Different.

375
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,599
You have a light fish and a dark
fish, right?

376
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,560
Or a Or a heavier fish.
Well, whitefish.

377
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,880
Yeah, whatever.
Not Whitefish.

378
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,839
I mean, to be honest, to be
perfectly honest, I don't

379
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:24,760
remember.
Yeah, I don't remember.

380
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,560
I just remember we got sushi, we
sat at a place, we ate it and we

381
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,600
said we wanted that and they put
it on there somewhere.

382
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,120
And it was in a line of things.
And I didn't know Japanese and

383
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:34,280
they didn't know English.
So you.

384
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:35,600
Didn't know Japanese.
Stuff.

385
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,600
No, I don't.
I mean, I know Japanese people,

386
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,920
but I don't.
And I guess I don't really know

387
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:41,560
them.
I kind of.

388
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,320
I mean acquaintances.
But other than that, yeah.

389
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,520
But hey, wow.
Wow, very, very cool.

390
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:51,720
Time.
This is.

391
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,080
This was the We're going to talk
about Christmas ornaments,

392
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,000
right?
Why didn't you go down to Haines

393
00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:01,640
Point specifically?
We went there because Seth,

394
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,600
well, it's kind of strange.
Seth mentioned that, that it's a

395
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,800
neat place to go to, to just sit
out.

396
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,000
And we would just sit out on the
park bench there, 'cause there's

397
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,040
park benches all the way around.
And at that time there was a

398
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:22,760
statue of, I can't remember, it
was like, what's the the king of

399
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:27,480
the underwater like, Nemo?
Yeah, I think it's reaching for

400
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,240
the sky.
And they called it something or

401
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,520
other.
It's really, really, really

402
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,760
cool.
And he has a Poseidon 3 Pronger

403
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:38,680
thing and had the the thing and
tried it and it was like statue

404
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,880
was like 25 feet high.
It was big.

405
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:41,880
Why do you?
Get rid of it.

406
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,600
That's.
Nice.

407
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,280
I I just they moved it somewhere
else.

408
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,920
I don't know.
You know maybe it was because it

409
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,960
was against it was enhancing.
He was a bad fish person.

410
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,840
I don't freaking know somebody.
Yeah, you don't want bad fish

411
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,840
guys.
Bad fish guys around, Yeah.

412
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,720
Oh, but that's what So you went
down there for the statue Is

413
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,480
everything.
I I mean, I like that, but also

414
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,480
it was very, very, it was very
defined you you you get out on

415
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,960
66, you go.
All the way on. 66 to the end,

416
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,960
you you come down. 14th.
No, no, you, you, you go to 66

417
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,120
to 395, hop off at 395 at the
little swoopy swoop and you

418
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:20,640
swoop down and around and you're
there.

419
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,960
And it was just like, it was a
neat place and he just mentioned

420
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,800
it and you know, he didn't go
into the city as much as I did.

421
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,440
But.
And I was like, I knew exactly

422
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:30,640
where it was.
I was like, yeah, that's cool.

423
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,560
Let's go there.
And and The thing is, is you

424
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,760
drive for a little bit with her
and that was good.

425
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,920
And then you walk for a little
bit with her and then you and

426
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,120
then you sit with a little bit
and then you drive back and it's

427
00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:45,400
like, yeah, it was like there
was measured amounts of time.

428
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,880
Yeah, you would you you had to
keep her engaged.

429
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:56,320
Otherwise it just you go, you go
all you know.

430
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,720
Yeah, 'cause if you're in the
home and you're doing that,

431
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,160
that's one needs to not a new
place, right?

432
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,880
And it's not very enjoyable.
Yeah, well, there's a whole lot

433
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,400
of people there and you know,
they chase you when they're

434
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,440
naked and, you know, there's
things like that.

435
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,640
Yeah.
You know, there's a lot of.

436
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,480
I understand that completely.
I could definitely see how you

437
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,400
do.
You're getting here many.

438
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,200
Times have you been chased by a
naked 80 year old woman.

439
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,280
No, I have AI have friends that
have a people going through

440
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,880
dementia right now.
So, yeah, I've heard the story.

441
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,600
Maybe I don't understand it.
I've heard of it though.

442
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,880
I guess understanding of it.
Right.

443
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,920
So I you know what I will never
understand.

444
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,720
That's funny.
I will never understand until it

445
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,160
happens to me.
So I can imagine what it is like

446
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,040
to understand, right.
But I will never you.

447
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:44,760
You you look at it and you're
saying, OK, but we we got into

448
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,240
the conversation, it's like,
what do you want?

449
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,800
What do you want to do?
It's like, take care of me.

450
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,160
For how long?
At what point do you want to be

451
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:57,160
thrown into a little home where
some third party is changing

452
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,640
your underwear?
Yeah.

453
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,440
Washing you and being your this
person you've never met that's

454
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,480
making 15 bucks an hour is now
your keeper?

455
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:06,080
Yeah.
Exactly.

456
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,360
That's and you're in.
You're in a little, you're in a

457
00:21:08,360 --> 00:21:11,440
12 by 12 room with a little
single bed and and you have your

458
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,080
little dresser and that's it.
And that's like 6 grand a month.

459
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,120
It's not cheap.
It's crazy.

460
00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:18,960
What is the?
What is the place called?

461
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,280
It's a place called.
What the The center.

462
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,200
Because this isn't.
That a base, that one was that

463
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,720
was Sunrise.
Sunrise.

464
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:28,640
That's what I'm thinking about,
right?

465
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,760
There we go.
That was sunrise and it was the

466
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,560
sunrise Alzheimer's center or
something like that and.

467
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,240
Specifically for Alzheimer's.
Yeah, this was.

468
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,200
So you, you, you.
Ran the gambit quadrants.

469
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,040
Or whatever.
This is where you really, really

470
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,000
find out how much longer women
lived in men, because all the

471
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,640
guys just dropped like flies in
there.

472
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,840
Oh, yeah, yeah, they're all,
yeah, they're all dead in the

473
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:57,040
early, like in the early 70s.
The women, yeah, it was like 5

474
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:02,560
to 1, you know, and to women.
Well, this time I wonder if that

475
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,640
had anything to do with the the
post traumatic stress disorder

476
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,640
that was World War 2, right?
Because these people probably

477
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,280
had that age.
Yeah.

478
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:12,960
Oh, they're all War 2.
They're all.

479
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,160
They're all better kind of
stuff.

480
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,400
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.

481
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,120
A little different.
Yeah, that's true.

482
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:19,960
Yeah.
That's why I think you know

483
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,120
longevity has.
Miraculous when it was a

484
00:22:22,120 --> 00:22:26,080
different, a different thing
that women were at home and now

485
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,800
they're, you know, they're much
more.

486
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,440
They have to do everything now.
Yeah, they used to just have the

487
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:32,880
kids.
Now they have to have the kids

488
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,600
and make the money and and make
sure the house.

489
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,400
And you know, job switching.
Yeah, well, that's see.

490
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,680
But that's what my mom did.
So you know, she did everything.

491
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:43,920
She.
Did she?

492
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:48,520
Definitely did, but what you?
Going to do with Christmas.

493
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,040
Well we we were trying to come
to a thing is like so do you do

494
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,440
you write out a contract that
says what you're going to do,

495
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,480
how you're going to do it.
Do you you know And then it's

496
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,680
like if you impose this on your
family then all of a sudden you

497
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,880
you know you're the one that
your last vision of me is yeah

498
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,000
my dad was walking away and I
hit one in the back of the head

499
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,560
with a ball peeing hammer and
he.

500
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,880
But he said it was OK and it's
like well yeah that's why I've.

501
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,720
Always liked the Cavorkian
thing, Yeah, yeah.

502
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,240
And he always did it with in an
ethical way.

503
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,560
And I thought that that was see.
I think that's.

504
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,600
I think that's a lot better.
I I think that's a lot better

505
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,320
because.
I I just don't have that in the

506
00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:29,160
US.
Yeah, well, we we kind of do an

507
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:34,000
Oregon, I think it's an Oregon.
They also where was it?

508
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,440
I I think it was in Washington
state.

509
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:38,000
Yeah, that's.
Right.

510
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,640
I think it maybe it might be
both actually.

511
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,400
Where together?
Sweden.

512
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,760
Sweden.
Yeah, Sweden has actually Your

513
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,280
own private gas chamber.
Yeah, yeah, That's.

514
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,920
Pretty good in it.
They they you cut you you you

515
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,520
cut it on.
It's like the Abe I.

516
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,520
Was about to say that The
Simpsons reference, but it's

517
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,880
it's very hot.
Yeah, it's it's, yeah.

518
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,200
It's what you get buried in,
though, So it's all it's a it's

519
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,000
a single unit.
You get in it.

520
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,800
You die and they throw the damn
thing in the ground.

521
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:09,800
You're done.
I wonder what?

522
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,400
That guy was like the mate
designed, you know, like, that's

523
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,400
such an odd job to design
something.

524
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,840
Well, if you think about it,
it's like everybody you you've

525
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:23,080
got a hugely aging population.
So Oh yeah, we're all gonna face

526
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,400
this.
Oh, definitely.

527
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,800
I mean, everybody will
individually, yeah.

528
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,640
And when you think about what's
gonna happen coming forward, the

529
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,520
healthcare industry, the amount
of stuff that they do for us now

530
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,680
is going to, with the population
aging, is going to triple,

531
00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:43,880
quadruple.
And you think that they're all

532
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,440
right now, it's three months.
It's three months to get an

533
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,840
appointment with somebody to
actually do something.

534
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,320
You get, you get one out, you
get one out. 8 to 12 weeks is to

535
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:56,680
actually go there.
And then they see whether or not

536
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,360
you need to.
That's the consultation.

537
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,920
And then you get the actual
appointment 12 weeks later.

538
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,960
And so you're like, OK, so
you're waiting this long and

539
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,800
it's like, well, what happens
when there's, you know, you

540
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,240
know, 50 or 100 million more
people doing this across the

541
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,760
country?
All of a sudden, healthcare

542
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,840
prices are going to go up,
Everything's going to, it's

543
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,240
going to continue to skyrocket.
And then you guys are going to

544
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:21,680
be like, well, I don't want to
be a doctor.

545
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,360
This is crazy.
I don't want to take care of

546
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:25,240
these people.
You know, all of them die

547
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,920
because we're all at that.
You know, a huge 100 billion

548
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,240
people.
Yeah, 100 billion people.

549
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,400
By 2050, a 100 million, it's
supposed to be a lot.

550
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,120
It's supposed to be upwards of
like 60 to 70 billion by 20.

551
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,320
We only have like there's
there's 12 billion people.

552
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,600
With the birth rate now is the
projections are crazy and that

553
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,320
ample technology that we've been
using.

554
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,440
I can pull up the, I'll link it
but.

555
00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:54,320
It's crazy.
The what we're going to see.

556
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,920
Well, I'm just thinking that
that the majority of the

557
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,280
population is old and they're
moving into old age and we're

558
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,000
doing more and more to lengthen
their lives.

559
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,880
So.
So they will be more and more D

560
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,640
you know, they won't be able to
handle themselves.

561
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,400
So there's going to be a huge
demand on all of the services

562
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,840
like home aids, health aids, all
that kind.

563
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,280
Of stuff like that, without a
doubt.

564
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,880
And it's like and any anything
there that can be automated will

565
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,400
be automated.
Anything there that you have,

566
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,680
you got an idea and you can
think about how to help old

567
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,560
people.
That's going to be and I'm

568
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:35,320
thinking one of the ways is to
whack old people and you know,

569
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,200
and it's like if you can figure
out a way to do that so that,

570
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,080
but if I have dementia, how am I
going to know that it's time to

571
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,920
go?
You're going to have to have

572
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,200
somebody related to you that
would be able to have the

573
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,000
tenacity.
Yeah, Well, I've.

574
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,920
Told him.
I've told you and I've told told

575
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,640
your mom, but I feel like that.
That's horrible.

576
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,200
I mean, it's necessary, I would
think.

577
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,280
Yeah, yeah.
And it's my wishes.

578
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,640
Yeah, no, exactly.
But it's like.

579
00:27:04,120 --> 00:27:09,400
I'll be doing this and and
you'll be like mom, shoot the

580
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,240
Bunny.
That's kind of what it is, I

581
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,120
mean.
Mom, Mom, shoot the Bunny.

582
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,360
Mom on that.
Shoot the Bunny.

583
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,440
Thanks.
We're going to wrap up here.

584
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:24,480
Did I?
Hurt you on that one.

585
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,920
Yeah, well, we're also, I think
we've got 2 minutes left here.

586
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,080
Oh wow, God, I am talking a lot
about that.

587
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,320
No, when it went by quickly, but
as always, extremely rewarding.

588
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,840
Christmas and death.
Yeah, that was fun.

589
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,400
It.
Was a great uplifting.

590
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:45,280
Episode for the holidays We love
all our listeners and find us on

591
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,840
social media and a record of my
father.

592
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,520
Be easy and have happy holidays.
Do you have anything to say?

593
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,960
Yeah, I was just going to say
that we're thinking about doing

594
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,440
some type of contest for this
guy's head and we're trying to

595
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,760
figure out what it is.
So we're we'll, we will, we will

596
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,240
post more information on that on
the next episode.

597
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,120
We'll probably bring.
It up and show it.

598
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,400
But it is interesting that we
had all these talking points of

599
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,600
all the things we're going to do
and we started talking about

600
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,560
Christmas.
We had ornaments and all this

601
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,520
and we talked about that for
like 2 minutes and then we go

602
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:19,760
right into killing people.
So you're going to have to write

603
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,640
Kevorkian as part of this.
I I'll look for, you know, a

604
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,440
picture of a coffin or
something, because that could be

605
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,640
our Chris.
It's Christmas time and a

606
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,000
picture of a Kaufman, we can
call it.

607
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,480
This is the Christmas time
episode and it's dead people.

608
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,560
What do you think?
I think I like that idea.

609
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,120
All right.
Happy holidays, everybody.
