00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:28.079
No, you can fucking play that on the radio.

00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:29.519
That's not the same.

00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.880
I'd like to start this podcast by saying Daniel's still a bitch.

00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:33.840
Why is that?

00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:36.240
Because he wouldn't come podcast again.

00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:36.880
That's right.

00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:42.159
He was supposed to be here again today and Mike, but they aren't here.

00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:44.240
They're doing family stuff.

00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:48.159
We have a special guest today that you will see shortly.

00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.359
Um this person is not here yet.

00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:57.359
And so when he gets here, he's just gonna come right through this door and sit down and not know what's going on.

00:00:57.679 --> 00:00:58.880
He's gonna smell real bad.

00:00:59.119 --> 00:00:59.840
Probably.

00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.319
But he's a teenager anyway, and he's been outside, so we'll see.

00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:05.680
Yeah, oh well.

00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:11.439
Anyway, um, so yeah, I told you I was gonna give you the Gene update.

00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.400
Gene is our grandfather that's hanging on.

00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:21.359
And then he Joseph had a funny idea that um actually I don't guess this is really funny.

00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:25.120
Because we discussed, like, when he dies, like, don't call.

00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:26.239
I was gonna text you.

00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:27.840
So that's what I kind of landed on.

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:31.040
I was just gonna text you and let you know that when he dies.

00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:41.280
But then you mentioned it a second ago, this is probably one step further than that, that I'll have you on the podcast to announce to you when he dies.

00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:49.920
So he may die, like you know, in a day or two, and then like when you come over a week later is when I'll tell you on here.

00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:52.719
By the way, he got him.

00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.000
Is that a is that sickening to people?

00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.799
Probably, but remember everybody else is sensitive.

00:01:59.120 --> 00:01:59.840
They are sensitive.

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:01.120
I'd say they're normal.

00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:02.159
Yeah, they're normal.

00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:05.359
They have normal emotions about it, people in their family dying.

00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:18.879
Well, Gene he's been uh the past few weeks, he's been all swollen up, which he looks like he's gained 40 pounds because he was a twig there for a while, and now he's all like swollen up.

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:24.159
So we saw that with our grandmother, you know, and it's because of a heart failure.

00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:27.520
And so he demanded to go to the hospital today.

00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:36.479
So Nikki took him up there and doing giving him blood and all that, but they don't think he's got too much longer, so they want to start doing hospice care.

00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:37.520
So there's that.

00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:38.080
Oh.

00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:40.159
So he's alive.

00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:42.319
That's all right.

00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:52.159
When when you hear the word hospice, though, you think that like, hey, it's it's over, but hell, they were talking about giving him hospice care like three years ago when he was living here.

00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:56.479
So it's like hospice care is like the new 40s, I guess.

00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:58.000
Or whatever they say.

00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.919
No, I think hospice care, hey, this is this is it's g it's getting close.

00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:04.719
Well, they're just saying you just make him comfortable.

00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.120
I mean, he what else can you do?

00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:12.080
I mean, you can't just keep taking him to the doctor for all the things when his body's shutting down.

00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:12.719
He's 93.

00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.719
But he's still gonna want to go to the doctor for you're exactly right about that.

00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:22.639
If he demanded to go to the hospital, uh, he doesn't have it in his mind yet that what is to come.

00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.280
Because he's gonna live forever in it in his head.

00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.560
Yeah, he may think that, but if I'm him.

00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.319
No, I can't say that because I don't know what it's like.

00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:37.759
I guess you you spend your you spend 93 years holding on to living, you don't want to just give up.

00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:39.759
I mean, he's gotta just be so bored.

00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.680
Well, every time I go and see him, he's just looking at the TV, he's not even watching.

00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:44.800
It's like not even on.

00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:50.960
He's just looking at it, or he's sitting there with his head down, or he's just laying in his bed looking at the ceiling.

00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:52.960
It's like could you boring?

00:03:53.360 --> 00:04:03.039
Yeah, so like if we were on our deathbed, at least, you know, be like, hey, let me let me look at some reels or let me check out some you I can watch some YouTube while I'm doing it.

00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:10.000
It's like he's just it replaying like maybe all the women that he's banged at his head, you know, over the years.

00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:19.439
In his in his RV, uh when he was traveling around, probably 80 years of of you know being a player, thinking about all those times.

00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:24.879
I mean, that's probably a lot of footage he's got rolling around in his head, but I don't know.

00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:26.639
Can't do anything with it though.

00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:28.959
No, you he certainly can't.

00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.439
But anyway, you text me earlier and you're like, wait, what did you say?

00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:39.279
I didn't re I was driving, so I didn't I didn't respond the way that I well, what I really said you probably don't need to say on here.

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:41.199
No, I'm gonna read the first part.

00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.800
Gene talking about checking out in the next two weeks, and also be like, is he is he leaving the pearl?

00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:50.480
Like, is he is he gonna hop in his equinox and drive around?

00:04:50.959 --> 00:05:01.439
No, well, he's like, I I think that well, at first on first listen to that, you think, okay, well, he's he's um he's tired of being in the hospital, he's gonna go home for a little while.

00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:14.160
Well, what it is is the one of the women there that takes care of him, he found out she's retiring in a couple weeks, so that he's lost his will to live as of a woman he's only known for a few months.

00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.120
So that's all right.

00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:18.879
Yeah, it's fine.

00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:27.439
I feel I I don't want to say I feel bad because I don't really feel too bad, but you know, if if this was like you, I'd feel a little bit bad about it.

00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:32.959
Well, I'm I'm glad you would feel a little bit bad about it, or you know, anybody that I know in my normal everyday thing.

00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:36.959
Someone who's not 93 years old and has lived a good life, he's lived a long life.

00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:43.920
I don't know that I want to live to 93, but again, I say that, but I might be 90 and then be like, I got years left to live in my head.

00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:44.480
Nope.

00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.600
I still stand by I turn 80 as heroin and cocaine every day.

00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:52.480
Well, it by then we we may be like part robot anyway, so it'd be all right.

00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:54.560
I don't know.

00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:58.800
You you say that, but look how look, I was thinking about this today.

00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:02.639
Actually, I think about this all the time, but I was really thinking about it today.

00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.439
Think about the time that we live in.

00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:06.240
I agree.

00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:11.759
Think about we were born in the 80s, so we've seen I mean, we're not old.

00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:21.759
I mean, we're old to like the standards of kids today, but look at all the shit that's happened between the 80s and now, even in a technology sense.

00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:23.040
Well, yeah.

00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:35.199
I mean, so wouldn't you think that in we're in our 40s now, so in even 10 years or 15 years, like we'd be walking around like robots, don't you think?

00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:39.279
I mean, I'll take a robot arm.

00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:41.360
Yeah, but that's the problem.

00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:46.240
I think that we're naturally supposed to die at a certain age because it's like, all right, enough of this.

00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.639
It's time to move on to whatever's next.

00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:50.639
But people want to live forever.

00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:55.759
I don't know that I want to be like, hey, just put me in a new body and I'll just continue to live.

00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:57.040
They're not gonna fix our brains.

00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:58.560
We're still gonna be old and senile.

00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:00.240
We're gonna be senile with robot arms.

00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:02.639
Yeah, but you know, they'll have cures to all that.

00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:04.639
They probably already do have cures to all that.

00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:08.319
Don't even get me started on all that shit because it just makes me mad to think about that.

00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:13.759
They probably have cures to all of those things, cancer and everything, but it doesn't make any money having a cure to it.

00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:19.279
And it's probably something stupid like uh, you know, like a wild strawberry root or something like that.

00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:26.240
I was reading that like dandelion roots like cure cancer or uh or uh um Alzheimer's or something.

00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:36.079
I don't remember what it was, but then I was thinking, I was like, that's funny because I'm in the business of killing all of the dandelions for some people can have nice yards of turf treatment.

00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.560
So dandelion root.

00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:39.839
I mean, you never know.

00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:41.519
Yeah, whatever works.

00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:42.879
I guess so.

00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:47.279
So anyway, he's I guess he's doing about the same as last time we talked.

00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:51.519
Yeah, I mean, it just feels like over the last few years it's just the same update over and over again.

00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.160
I don't I don't think he has much longer to go.

00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:57.439
I know, but then in three days, that motherfucker's gonna live forever.

00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:00.639
But the problem with it is is you're disconnected from it.

00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:04.720
I'm in the midst of taking care of him, and Nikki is taking care of him.

00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:14.319
We hear he's we're the ones that he calls when they're or actually he doesn't even call anymore, which reminds me I need to cancel his phone service since he hasn't used it since I gave it to him.

00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:20.160
He just tells the nurses at the Pearl to to call us, or they'll email us or or something, you know.

00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:22.319
They're gonna email you, he got him.

00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:35.039
No, they're probably gonna call us and try to gently give us the news, and then I'm gonna have to be like, oh my, that's so awful, and pretend like I feel really bad about it.

00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:41.519
People that don't know us, they're gonna really watch this and they're gonna be like, these y'all are heartless motherfuckers.

00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:42.879
Yeah, we are.

00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:52.080
We we are, but here, now that we got that out of the way, we can show you a little why we are heartless and fucking don't have any feelings.

00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:58.559
I forgot about it last time we were doing a pod, but we need to have this episode will be dedicated to Nathan.

00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:00.320
Yeah, because I didn't forget about it.

00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:01.039
I did.

00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.600
Nathan died on October 8th of 21.

00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:07.279
So we're a few days late.

00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:11.120
It's the 16th, but or you know, eight days late.

00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:11.759
Yeah.

00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:21.600
So I was thinking of him today, thinking of some memories of him and thinking about out how he's always trying to pull one over on somebody.

00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.360
Got any stories about that?

00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:26.720
Nope.

00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:29.120
About Nathan trying to pull one over on somebody?

00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:32.000
Everything Nathan did was trying to pull one over on somebody.

00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:32.720
That's true.

00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:34.240
Every like literally everything.

00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:40.320
I remember the reason that I got into landscaping is because um, you know, he had that landscape business.

00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:41.279
Oh, I'm where.

00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:51.759
And I remember he used to send me out to do like all the weed eating while he's he's just on a mower and doing all that, which was fine, and I knew what was going on at the time.

00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:58.879
But then like when you when I started LSI, I had the same shit happen where like the people that are in charge always send you out on the weed eater.

00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:05.279
And I predict that when our guest gets here, he's gonna say the same thing happens to him.

00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:13.200
I remember when Nathan had his landscape business, I was like 13 or 14, and and he's like, You want to make some money?

00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:14.000
I'm like, sure.

00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:20.639
So we go to this house that he had done some work on, and I don't know, I guess he had a thing of mulch that he needed to load into the truck.

00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:25.679
And he he just gave me a shovel and said, Start shoveling this into the truck.

00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:28.320
I'm like, Yeah, can I have a can I have a pitchfork?

00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:29.919
No, you know, a shovel.

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.159
It's like, okay, cool, I'll do this while you go do whatever.

00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:35.440
No, that motherfucker sat down in a chair and watched me do it.

00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:42.240
I mean, that's that's and then he paid me with uh old ass TV that didn't work.

00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:44.879
That's exactly what how he would do.

00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:53.759
You know, I was thinking about we'd we've discussed him having that accident when he was 17 on here, but I don't think we talked much about like when he broke his back.

00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:57.759
So he's had the he had a really bad run.

00:10:58.000 --> 00:10:59.919
And so life?

00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.600
Yeah, but it's like he took all the injury.

00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:23.519
Well, you fucked it all up whenever you fucked your feet up, but well, he so he was he finally got a job and he was working for Brinks, home security, and so they'd have to run lines for security systems, and this particular neighborhood that he was working in was uh like a new build um neighborhood.

00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:28.000
So all the houses were not occupied and they were in the middle of building them.

00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:34.720
So he was at this house and he worked at Brinks for a couple years, which was always um That was an impressive run.

00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:41.919
An impressive run because he never really worked or he always found some kind of way of like getting some kind of money.

00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:48.000
He would have some kind of he's always he the best way to describe it, he's always looking for a get rich quick scheme.

00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:48.639
Yes.

00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:50.960
That was like how he lived his whole life.

00:11:51.519 --> 00:12:07.440
And so anyway, so he's working at Brinks and he's at this house and he's pulling wire, installing the security systems, and then um he went up into an attic and he was gonna he had to do something up there.

00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.120
And so you know you already know this story, but I'm just telling it.

00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:12.399
But I'm just listening.

00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:19.279
But you know how the the attic pull down, so it has like this frame that wasn't bolted in.

00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:23.279
So he tried to go, he went out, he went in the attic from a different access point.

00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:25.679
Yes, and then he tried to go down the steps.

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.720
And then he fell through, landed on his back, and broke it.

00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:32.720
Yes, and that fucked him up for a good while.

00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:33.360
Yeah.

00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.840
I mean, he's broken every he broke everything.

00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:37.679
I was trying to think at some point in his life.

00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:44.559
While I was telling that story, I was trying to think of um what he he did for money between high school and there.

00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:46.639
He's just working these odds and ends jobs.

00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.320
Working at he worked at the golf club of Tennessee there for a while.

00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:55.440
But anyway, he broke his back and it was like a legitimate, like he really fucked it up.

00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:59.919
I remember that I had to take care of his dumb ass for months because he couldn't wipe his own ass.

00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.720
And if I ever have to get to the point where I gotta wipe your ass, I don't know that I'm gonna sign up for that.

00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:06.720
So your wife can take care of that.

00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:08.080
That's that's the intention.

00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:13.919
Luckily, well, Nathan wasn't married at the time or anything, so he didn't have a wife or anybody to take care of him.

00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:19.519
He had this one girlfriend that he was dating that helped every now and then, but it's me and the old man that did all that.

00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:22.480
But you're you're gonna have to you're on your own on that one.

00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:27.120
I'm I'm retired from that, and I expected that to be the same for me.

00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:32.799
I told Caitlin once, I was like, I just need you to know that when I die, I don't want Tim to do anything.

00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:36.399
Yeah, I've had plenty, I've got I've got plenty of experience.

00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:43.039
Maybe I need to go get a job as like a well no, I have shit already taken care of to where nobody actually has to do anything.

00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:44.240
Well, that's good.

00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:55.600
So anyway, he breaks his back, he recovers it to it's like a years-long process, and he was never right even after that, just like he was never right from when he fucked his uh head up or his face up.

00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:59.759
And so he ends up suing everybody.

00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:05.200
He sued the the contractor company that was building the houses.

00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:06.879
This is a big one, like a Regent Homes.

00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:09.440
I'm not saying if it that it was, but like that level.

00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:11.600
That level, it was a big company.

00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:19.279
He sued the city, he sued the state, he sued the people that he was working with, he sued Brinks, he sued everybody.

00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:21.600
I mean, he was he was like Oprah out there.

00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:23.279
You're getting sued, you're getting sued.

00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:25.759
Everybody, you get a lawsuit.

00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.080
And so the lawyers are hyping the shit up.

00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:29.440
I mean, this was a good case.

00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:32.879
I mean, if you're gonna fuck yourself up, this is a way to do it.

00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:38.879
You know, if you have to deal with it, this is like uh an approved uh a ladder that's approved for use that was never nailed in.

00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:39.919
Yeah, that's a yeah.

00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:43.360
I mean, this is like you know, textbook like you can't get out of this one.

00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.720
This was the only time in his life when he had a legit case, yeah.

00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:52.720
Yes, his get rich quick scheme happened to him without with with no intention of it happening.

00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:53.919
Oh, well, look at that.

00:14:54.159 --> 00:15:01.519
So he so he sues everybody, and so you know, all that kind of stuff takes a long time and they end up settling.

00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:14.960
And so Nathan ended up having to give more than half of it to the lawyers, but he walked away with that for he walked away with about three or four hundred thousand dollars from that from that situation.

00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:17.360
That's how he bought his, that's how he built that house.

00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:21.919
It may have been even been being it may have even been half a million dollars.

00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:25.919
But he could burn some money, he burned through some money, which I I get it.

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:28.240
It's easy to burn through money if you have it.

00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:29.600
But uh I don't know.

00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:31.279
I'm never I never have any money.

00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:37.120
Well, you know, it's like say well, let's just use something as simple as like people getting their tax refunds.

00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:41.519
It's like you know, you got a few thousand dollars, that shit goes like immediately.

00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:44.159
It's easy to go through money quickly.

00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:50.720
Anyway, so he gets this money, he did some of the right things, he put some money away.

00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:52.639
He built that house.

00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:56.720
No, well, yeah, he first he bought a house in Murfreesboro.

00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:57.279
That's right.

00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:58.080
That's what he did with him.

00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.879
He bought a house in Murfreesboro and he lived out there.

00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:03.519
That's where he met his ex-wife, Kate.

00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:08.080
Um, well, she he didn't meet her, and he she was immediately his ex-wife.

00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:12.559
Besides after years of fucking that up, and then she became his ex-wife.

00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:14.480
Remember when he bought the gas station?

00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:16.000
That's a that's a fun.

00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:17.519
We'll get into that one in a second.

00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:21.679
So he put some money away, he burned the shit, he just burned through some money.

00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:26.480
He was living off that money for a while, but not as long as he could have lived on it.

00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:38.480
So he did that, he built a house out in Kingston Springs, and I don't know, I'm probably fucking up half this story, which Kate could probably give us a better understanding of all how that happened.

00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:42.240
But then, so he's like losing his mind in all of this.

00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:44.639
He's just starting to get more and more crazy.

00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:48.960
Yes, just uh just not crazy, like psychotic, just loopy.

00:16:49.039 --> 00:16:50.960
Loopy's a good term for it.

00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:57.279
Just like um very conspiracy theory, very I and I'm very conspiracy theory.

00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:58.080
Don't get me wrong.

00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:10.319
I love a good conspiracy theory, but I also am grounded in life and uh knowing like okay, that's fun to go down those rabbit holes, but you gotta reel yourself in and take care of business.

00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:15.599
I mean, the prime example was he thought that COVID was a conspiracy and then he died of COVID.

00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:19.759
Well, yeah, and I'm not a hundred percent sure that COVID wasn't a conspiracy.

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:21.599
Uh I don't think it was a conspiracy theory.

00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:28.319
I just but I he well COVID is like the least of his conspiracy things that he thought of.

00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:30.559
He's just he's just loopy in all of it.

00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:35.839
But like I said, you got to ground yourself and then you know, get up in the morning, go to work, do that.

00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:39.039
He just wasn't doing that, he would not do all of those things.

00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:40.960
No, he would he never had a nine to five job.

00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:48.000
When I thought when I think about him now, I think about how he this is this is what always sticks out in my mind.

00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:49.759
Thank you for getting that hair.

00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:55.039
Kate was always um Kate and Nathan always had Christmas over at their house.

00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:57.119
They wanted to host it, which was fun.

00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:05.839
And the the this time, I think we got some pictures of that particular event as one that you showed up at because Joseph never came to the family events.

00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:09.279
Because I was always working, I worked in retail, those opened on holidays.

00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:10.559
That's true.

00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:19.839
But I'll never forget like Kate would do all the work to get the house ready, clean up, got the decorations, Christmas tree, all that kind of stuff.

00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:27.119
And we would walk in with the family, and I'd go and talk to Nathan and be like, Everything looks really nice.

00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:28.880
What all of this did you do?

00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:31.200
He's like, I'm on coffee duty.

00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:32.000
What do you mean?

00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:32.720
Coffee duty.

00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:34.400
Look, here's our special guest.

00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:35.119
Hello, everyone.

00:18:35.359 --> 00:18:35.920
Hello, Jackson.

00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:38.480
Jack, have a seat and listen to our story here.

00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:40.160
We're talking about Uncle Nathan.

00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:41.200
Oh dear.

00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:42.799
It should be fun.

00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:48.079
So to catch you up, we're we're celebrating Nathan today because he died.

00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:52.640
He died um this in October uh several years ago.

00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:54.640
So anyway, just some time ago.

00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:55.759
Yeah, just a little bit.

00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:03.039
So he so he his so he told me he said my job is to make make the coffee, make sure the coffee's full.

00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:08.720
And in that moment, I realized that he's just completely gone.

00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:15.920
That his wife thinks that he's only capable of handling making sure the coffee's full and that people have coffee.

00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:22.480
I mean, it was a very small thing and it's laughable, but like that was the moment that I was like, he's just too far gone to help.

00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:29.759
Have I ever have I ever told you about so he he bought a gas station um out in Kingwood?

00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:33.359
No, it was out in East Tennessee, somewhere out in East Tennessee.

00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:34.799
What was it called?

00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:37.599
Do you remember when Nathan bought a gas station out there?

00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:38.799
I did not know this happened.

00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:43.759
So he bought a gas station, it had a little apartment on it, so it was far away, but he was still living in Keenson Springs.

00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:50.400
So he just basically lived up there at the gas station that didn't make money, didn't do anything.

00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:52.480
But I went to see it one time.

00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:57.599
Hold on before you get because your story, you we got to explain this gas station a little bit more.

00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:58.079
All right.

00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:01.920
Now, this is backwoods, Tennessee, backwoods, east Tennessee.

00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:07.200
All the people, all the people, it's a type of situation where all the people know each other.

00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:11.119
It's a situation where drugs are running through there.

00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:23.440
This is in the height of the opioid epidemic, and so Nathan was always telling me about how all these drugs and drug dealers and everybody's running drugs through there, and these people are like psychotic about their drugs.

00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:24.799
Yeah, it's out near Oak Ridge.

00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:28.480
Yeah, it's not Oak Ridge, it's like Kingswood or Kingsport or something like that.

00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:44.000
It's yeah, I don't remember what the name of it is, but this place is sketchy, yes, and he he so he buys this gas station because part of him falling off is he's get gotten in with all the Indians, not Native Americans, but Indian people where they like their culture and everything.

00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:44.559
He was into it.

00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:46.559
He went to India, became a vegetarian.

00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:49.599
He was into all that because he kind of had a mentor, and I get it.

00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:51.519
You get mentors, you do you know, whatever.

00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:52.720
But Nathan was gullible.

00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.960
Nate, yes, that was the problem is Nathan was very gullible in it, and he ate it up.

00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:00.400
And on top of his conspiracy theory mine, he's just lost it.

00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:02.400
So he buys this gas station.

00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:04.079
This is gonna revive him.

00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:06.240
He this is gonna bring him back to life.

00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:10.720
He gets this gas station, he's working out there, so it's only him in there working.

00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:15.759
And like Joseph said, there was an apartment on the back of it, which was a pretty decent size apartment.

00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:22.240
But the idea was that he would go out that he would get it going, and then he would come home and be with his family.

00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:34.160
But he ended up just staying out there all the time, which anybody that starts a business should know that it's never just like, hey, I'm gonna get it going for a few weeks, hire somebody to do it, and then I'm just gonna roll in the dough.

00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:35.759
So that never happened.

00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:38.400
So I went out to see it once, and I didn't even go out to see it.

00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:43.039
I borrowed his truck from him one time, and he took my car back.

00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:48.640
And then the plan was I would come, I would bring his truck back out there and drive my car back.

00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:56.640
Well, my my my friend Taylor and I went out there to to get my car, take him his truck back, and and we pull in, he has a little carport.

00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:59.759
We pull into the carport and he's like, Oh, come in.

00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:00.880
You know, how Nathan gets it?

00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:03.359
He's like, I want to show you all of my things.

00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:13.519
So, so Taylor and I go in there and they're like, Yeah, this is what was weird is like he's very accommodating, but it was in a sense of like, look at all of what I have, yes, type of thing.

00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:17.200
Yes, and so it's like, look at all this stuff, have a seat.

00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:18.000
Y'all want to drink?

00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:22.799
You know, I don't I don't really have anything, but if you want something, you know, I can cook some dinner real quick.

00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:24.720
I'm like, no, it's like nine o'clock at night.

00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:25.440
We're we're good.

00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:27.200
We're gonna we're gonna go home.

00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:29.759
He's like, ah, he wanted to show me a gun.

00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:31.119
Let's go.

00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:38.400
And so Taylor and I are sitting on the couch and he pulls out this gun and he's trying to show it to me.

00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:39.440
What kind of gun was it?

00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:42.240
It was a little revolver, a little 357 revolver.

00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:43.039
All right.

00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:45.920
And um I was looking for it when he died.

00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:47.200
I never I never found it.

00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:48.640
Um, he had it somewhere.

00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:51.359
I assume I know I assume where it went.

00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:55.519
But so he's like showing and he shoots it on accident.

00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:57.039
Was it loaded and everything?

00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:58.880
Yes, not the safety or anything.

00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:01.039
And it shoots between me and Taylor.

00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:07.680
It got it goes through the wall and into his truck bed.

00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:09.920
What did he say after he shot?

00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:12.160
He said, Oh shit, that thing's loaded.

00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:14.480
He could have shot you in the face.

00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:16.480
I mean, it went between us.

00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:18.720
It was it was the only time I've ever been scared of a gun.

00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:19.680
I love guns.

00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:21.200
Only time I've ever been scared of a gun.

00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:22.480
And it's dark outside.

00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:23.839
He's like, I want to find the bullet.

00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:25.839
I'm like, how about you put it down?

00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:27.680
And he's out there with a flashlight.

00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:30.079
You can see where it went to the side of the truck bed.

00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:32.799
Taylor's like, dude, I gotta go.

00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:35.039
Yeah, like we we gotta go right now.

00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:37.039
There's some this is not okay.

00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:40.000
It's probably because he was always high all the time, too.

00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:40.720
Yes.

00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:44.559
He was all always he's always high, especially out there.

00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:51.039
So I think that he was on pills out there and probably high because he used to smoke weed all the time.

00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:56.799
But you know, when they when that all that ended, that was a like a three, two, three-year stint.

00:23:57.119 --> 00:23:58.160
He just left it.

00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:03.759
Well, the story of that is the old man called me and he said, Hey, I need your help.

00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:05.279
I got Rockwood.

00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:07.279
Yes, Rockwood's where it was.

00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:09.599
He says, I need you to go up to Rockwood with me.

00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:11.519
We got to get Nathan and bring him home.

00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:13.519
And I was in the middle of doing something.

00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:17.359
Maybe I don't know, Nikki may have been pregnant with Jack at the time.

00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:19.200
I don't remember exactly what the circumstances were.

00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:21.519
Well, because Evans was alive whenever he was up there.

00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:22.559
Yeah, that might be true.

00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:23.839
I think she was just a baby.

00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:26.079
Something was going on, and I was like, I can't go up there.

00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:31.119
And he's and he was like one of those urgent old man things where he just hung up, didn't explain anything.

00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:36.319
So the old man goes out to Rockwood, drives out there, they take trash bags.

00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:44.559
I don't know if you remember at Nathan's house afterwards, he had all those trash bags of just shit in his garage, it's like candy bars, and it's just the He just emptied the inventory.

00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:45.440
It was the inventory.

00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:49.519
They took all the inventory and left that place there and he came home.

00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:58.000
And the old man thinks, and Nathan never told us what the reason be of why he did that, but the old man said that he thought that Nathan had stirred something up.

00:24:58.160 --> 00:25:05.039
Either he slept with somebody's, he slept with somebody's woman, or he it was a drug deal, like some kind of drug season.

00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:09.759
I mean, it was like one day dad was like, Yeah, he he just kind of he just left it.

00:25:09.920 --> 00:25:11.359
He's like the investment and everything.

00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:11.839
He just left.

00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:12.720
Yeah, left it.

00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:23.119
Well, because I think that that he was buying it, that was actually because I talked to Kate the other day because we were talking about this whole Evans thing and Nathan's uh wrapping up his estate.

00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:38.960
But I think that that was what was was because she thought that the farm was like he was buying it from somebody, but it was like that Rockwood gas station that he bought from somebody, and it was like he was paying them directly and like rent-to-own.

00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:40.480
Yeah, rent-to-own type situation.

00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:45.920
That's why he just upped and left it because I guess he didn't have any more, you know, it's not like he was way connected to it.

00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:50.960
He was way connected in the fact that he bought all the inventory that was in there, brought brought that shit back with him.

00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:54.640
It was full, it was filled, filled his garage for several years.

00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:56.640
I'd go over there and be like, You want a candy bar?

00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:58.079
I'm like, No, I don't want a candy bar.

00:25:58.160 --> 00:25:59.359
Those things are like two years old.

00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:00.960
You want a candy bar, little boy?

00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:01.839
I'm all right.

00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:02.480
Yeah.

00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:05.039
Also, I did not know he did drugs.

00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:06.160
I didn't know that was a thing.

00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:08.000
Uh yeah, Nathan, Nathan fucked up.

00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:14.720
I mean, I'm not surprised, but I mean, but he was he was just as emotionally fucked up as you and me.

00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:16.240
We we were all real fucked up.

00:26:16.480 --> 00:26:23.839
He was more emotional than uh he was more emotional than we were, but he he wasn't as dead inside as we are.

00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:27.599
But I think that he um he tried to be, he tried to hide it.

00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:29.200
He's pretty emotional.

00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:30.319
I'll never forget.

00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:31.359
I felt really bad.

00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:37.039
I don't know, I probably shouldn't even be saying this on here, but when here we are.

00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:42.559
When the old man died, like he lost his shit on the phone to him because he wasn't able to be there.

00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:45.359
Here, we'll we'll pause it right here.

00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:52.960
So he like it was during COVID, so he wasn't able, nobody was able to go in and see the old man.

00:26:54.799 --> 00:27:11.200
So he was saying his goodbyes to him on the phone, and so I just I I had to hold the phone up to the old man's ear, and I was like, I think that eventually, like when they were gonna let him go, like we were all able to go up there, and then everybody had a minute themselves.

00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:15.200
But he didn't go, but he he didn't go up there whenever dad died.

00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:19.599
They did let me, they they let me and Nathan come up there, but Nathan refused.

00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:22.480
He said, I don't want to see him that way, that's not how I want to remember him.

00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:25.200
He also wouldn't go see him, his body at the funeral.

00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:26.319
I was gonna say that too.

00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:33.039
But he said that that had something to do with his religion thing and how that's not how they want to remember people or something like that.

00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:34.400
Oh, I didn't know that.

00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:45.519
But one of the worst things I ever experienced, and I we saw everybody in our family die, but I felt so bad when I had to put that phone up to old man's ear and just listening to Nathan wail on there.

00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:47.119
I was like, I feel like shit.

00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:48.960
I mean I'm I'm awful.

00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:58.799
But I mean, I mean, honestly, for the for the longest time, now when dad came to work at LSI and was working with you, he um you and he got real close.

00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:02.240
But our whole life, him and Nathan have always been real close.

00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:04.079
Yeah, always.

00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:05.440
Yeah, yeah.

00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:06.480
That's funny.

00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:12.799
I didn't I thought that he just didn't like he kept I noticed that when we were at the funeral home, he kept avoiding the old.

00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:14.240
He told me he wouldn't go.

00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:15.599
He told me he wasn't gonna go see him.

00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:16.559
I'm like, you need to go see him.

00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:18.799
I'm like, Julio's up there, you haven't moved this whole time.

00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:20.000
You can go see your dad.

00:28:20.319 --> 00:28:22.480
He's like, No, that's not how I I saw him.

00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:25.119
I talked to him, I said what I needed to say to him before he died.

00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:27.440
I didn't need to see him die, and I don't need to see him dead.

00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:30.079
I mean, there's something to that because I don't disagree at all.

00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:34.960
Hey, you know, if that that and a lot of things that Nathan does, I never did, I never agreed with.

00:28:35.039 --> 00:28:38.640
I always thought he was crazy, and he and I never really got along all that great.

00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:45.519
But I respect it all the way, you know, the way he treated death and the the way he treated dad's death and and all that kind of stuff.

00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:55.759
Yeah, I mean, it's like once you see it after a while, I think the first time I ever saw anybody dead was Dick, Eunile's husband after Gene.

00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:08.160
And um I remember thinking, I was like, I don't want to remember him like this, but what was really funny is like Unile and all the families like out there with you know, like their their little Kodak cameras.

00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:15.440
This is before they were on the phones, they're like taking pictures of his dead body, and I'm like, that feels like probably shouldn't be doing that.

00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:17.279
Are you gonna frame it and put it on the wall?

00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:19.839
It was it was always a whole room full of them.

00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:23.519
It was always so weird, but but no, I get it completely.

00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:32.960
You don't want to remember somebody like that, and I think that I remember um yeah, anybody like that, like open casket funerals.

00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:39.839
Here, you guys hear on here, do whatever you want with me, but don't give me some stupid open casket funeral.

00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:41.200
I was gonna light you on fire.

00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:42.720
I wasn't gonna give you a funeral.

00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:43.839
Yeah, yeah.

00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:46.000
That's probably a good protocol for the Hollis.

00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:48.559
I mean, Caitlin knows I don't I don't need all that shit.

00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:49.279
I don't give a fuck.

00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:52.880
I mean, technically that's for that's for the living and for them to say their goodbyes.

00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:57.200
Look, everybody I know is basically here except for my wife.

00:29:57.359 --> 00:29:59.599
Yeah, I did have.

00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:00.640
We'll holler.

00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:05.039
I did have a revelation when I was driving to work earlier this week.

00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:06.480
This was on Monday.

00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:13.920
I was driving to work, and immediately it popped into my head about Gene, and this is what we're going to do.

00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:14.720
I've decided.

00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:24.559
And his reasoning is nobody will go see me if he's not.

00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:26.240
Well, nobody's going to go see him if he is.

00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:27.279
I know, I know.

00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:30.400
And what I decided is I was like, you know what?

00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:34.319
No, he's going out there with the old man with the rest of his family.

00:30:35.039 --> 00:30:37.200
And that's just the way it's going to be.

00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:41.279
But my revelation on Monday on the way into work was you know what?

00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:42.559
I'm not going to do that.

00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:46.960
I'm going to do what he did because we did that for the old man.

00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:47.519
Yes.

00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:50.319
We did the right thing because that's what dad wanted.

00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:52.240
And so this is what Gene wants.

00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:53.359
So that's what I'm going to.

00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:57.599
We're going to put him right there beside the old man fake grave.

00:30:58.319 --> 00:31:00.000
Does he know it's a fake grave?

00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:00.319
No.

00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:00.799
No.

00:31:01.279 --> 00:31:01.599
No.

00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:03.839
There are only two people that don't know that it's a fake grave.

00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:05.359
Well, one, Bobby.

00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:07.200
There's flowers over there on that thing.

00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:08.160
So somebody's knowing that.

00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:13.359
That was that was amazing.

00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:13.759
Yeah.

00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:15.279
But he wasn't, he won't listen.

00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:19.759
He it didn't well, he can't hear anyway, but no, Bobby doesn't have a clue.

00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:20.720
Old Bobby.

00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:27.200
But anyway, I'm we're gonna do obey Gene's wishes because I was good because I I wanted to obey Gene's wishes.

00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:35.680
Well, it struck me as it struck me as like, you know, we went through all that to hide the old man going out to Iron City to bury him out there.

00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:36.559
And I was like, you know what?

00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:39.200
I'm not gonna do that to Gene because this is what he wanted.

00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:47.759
And again, our kids like you, Jack, and like when you guys have kids, the old man will be a wonderful story to tell.

00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:53.440
The like how he's buried over here, but he's oh you know, that's a that's a great story.

00:31:53.680 --> 00:31:54.880
And we'll leave Gene over there.

00:31:54.960 --> 00:32:01.039
Well, why is why is great great great grandpa Gene over here, but not it's like the rest of the Hollis.

00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:02.160
You get to figure it out.

00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:04.640
It's kind of like um, it's kind of like a quest.

00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:20.000
So you know they do, you know, the the the historians of the Hollis family, they're gonna in 150 years, they're gonna be going through all this and be like, they're gonna they're gonna have to find this podcast from when we told the dad story on one of your first podcasts.

00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:20.480
Yeah.

00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:25.519
And they're gonna be like, oh, and if you reference this podcast, this is what tells you where Freeman H.

00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:27.200
Hollis is actually buried.

00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:28.799
Yeah, it's like national treasure.

00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:31.759
We'll make it like national treasure for everybody to find.

00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:35.359
So anyway, so that kind of kills two birds with one stone.

00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:36.799
We talked about Nathan.

00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:41.519
I mean, it was gonna be a good excuse to go to Iron City to see dad and bury Gina there, but yeah.

00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:46.079
We talked about Nathan, and it's spooky season, so we talked about death.

00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:49.599
Now, now Jack has joined us.

00:32:49.920 --> 00:32:50.559
I'm Jack.

00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:51.279
Hello, Jack.

00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:52.640
Please entertain us now.

00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:53.119
Yes.

00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:55.039
Um hi.

00:32:55.839 --> 00:32:57.119
How was work today?

00:32:57.440 --> 00:32:58.240
It was alright.

00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:00.240
I mean, we were just pruning all day.

00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:02.960
You know, Pedro called me gay as he usually does.

00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:04.079
Okay, that's fair.

00:33:04.480 --> 00:33:05.039
Reasonable, yeah.

00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:10.240
I mean, both of you actually, both of you, while you're here with your nice luscious locks.

00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:11.759
Uh, do you want to let it down?

00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:13.119
Yeah, let it down.

00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:14.000
Show everybody.

00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:18.480
Mine was mine was braided on the way here, but I took them out on the way here.

00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:20.400
Let's see whose is longer.

00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:22.240
Uh it's probably mine.

00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:25.759
I don't know that Jack's cut his hair in a long time.

00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:27.440
It's been at least two years.

00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:29.599
I've trimmed mine, I've trimmed mine a couple times.

00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:30.640
Exactly.

00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:32.000
Well, mine's curly too.

00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:34.960
When I go get my beard trimmed, I just have him trim mine a little bit.

00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:36.640
I need to brush my hair more.

00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:39.519
That's what I need to do because this hurts.

00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:40.880
Yeah, that'd probably be good if you.

00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:44.480
You brush it every morning while you sit on the couch while you just don't do it around Mike Riley.

00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:46.960
Or no, do it around Mike Riley.

00:33:47.279 --> 00:33:48.240
Why is this an issue?

00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:51.200
He is disgusted by people brushing their hair.

00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:53.759
So every oh, I think mine might actually be longer.

00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:54.799
I don't know.

00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:56.640
Mine usually goes down to like right here.

00:33:56.799 --> 00:33:59.039
Yeah, well, my I I like to play with my nipple with mom.

00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:00.400
Okay, that's interesting.

00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:01.359
That's kind of gay.

00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:03.759
You also have to remember my hair is curly.

00:34:03.839 --> 00:34:05.680
What is going on with this thing?

00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:07.920
Oh my god.

00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:10.800
You gotta fix it.

00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:11.360
There you go.

00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:14.000
You know, I'm not the smartest person on the planet.

00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:14.639
I hope you know that.

00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:15.199
Do it.

00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:17.280
There you go.

00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:18.719
No, we'll get there.

00:34:18.960 --> 00:34:19.760
Took me a second.

00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:22.719
So, anyway, so you you got told you were gay today.

00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:23.840
You did some pruning.

00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:24.880
That's good.

00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:28.000
Being called gay and pruning is a typical day.

00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:28.400
What else?

00:34:28.719 --> 00:34:34.719
I saw one of my friends at a gas station a couple months ago, and I talked to him for a while because it was lunch.

00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:37.760
And ever since then, the guys have been calling me gay.

00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:39.440
They think that that's your boyfriend or something.

00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:40.239
That's what they've been saying.

00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:41.280
I was tunovio.

00:34:41.440 --> 00:34:42.400
I was tunovio.

00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:46.239
He's learning all the good things.

00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:48.079
See, they're see, they're treating them well.

00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:48.559
Yeah.

00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:58.639
So we talked about this before you got here that Nathan used to sit and watch us work when we worked for him at his landscape company that he had.

00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:01.199
Um did they do that to you at work?

00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:05.280
They just make you go and weed eat everything and they just hang out on the mowers.

00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:08.079
Yeah, it's been happening the last week a lot more than usual.

00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:10.079
They're like, it's okay, the green go do it.

00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:10.480
Yeah.

00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:13.599
It's like they'll be like, here, you're gonna learn how to start trimming bushes.

00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:16.159
So I'll trim the bushes, and they'll be like, All right, now you can rake it up.

00:35:16.239 --> 00:35:17.199
Now you can blow it all up.

00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:18.079
All right, let's go.

00:35:18.239 --> 00:35:18.639
You know what?

00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:19.760
You gotta start somewhere.

00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:21.920
I mean Well, I told him he builds character.

00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:25.920
He's 18, and he can't even drive for the company till he's 21.

00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:29.920
So this if he decides that he does want to stay in this, we'll teach him irrigation work.

00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:44.559
Learn learn the business while you have this time of not being able to drive, so you can't really get you could probably be a crew leader, uh, you know, if you show them that you you know what you're know what you're doing, but then like you can't really do anything until you're 21.

00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:46.239
So it just gives you training time.

00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:46.880
Oh my god.

00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:48.719
Are you gonna come do snow removal?

00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:50.320
Hopefully not.

00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:52.079
He's definitely gonna come do snow removal.

00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:53.280
Yeah, we'll pick it up we'll take him out there.

00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:54.719
I don't know if I got the tires for that.

00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:55.599
That's my only issue.

00:35:55.760 --> 00:35:56.320
Well, no, you won't.

00:35:56.480 --> 00:35:58.800
Oh no, there's a there's the Hollis family Ubers.

00:35:58.960 --> 00:35:59.760
Yeah, okay.

00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:04.480
I'll go pick a lot of people up during snow season and drop them off, so you'll be fine.

00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:05.280
All right.

00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:07.440
He ain't riding with Roger.

00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:08.880
Yeah, no, that's all right.

00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:09.920
That's fine.

00:36:10.159 --> 00:36:10.639
All right.

00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:11.360
So what else?

00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:12.239
What else going on?

00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:13.760
What outside of work, what else?

00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:14.880
What do you have going on?

00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:17.119
Um, I have a girlfriend.

00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:24.559
He was gone last week for a whole week, and so like we kind of got a feeling to what it'd be like with no one there, and it was a little lonely.

00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:28.079
Yeah, he texted me like four times, being like, is he ever gonna come home?

00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:35.920
I also texted him like three days in, and I was like, I guess Bennett's gonna starve to death, or the dogs are gonna starve to death.

00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:37.679
Are you gonna move out soon?

00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:39.599
No, I'm too broke for that.

00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:42.400
And then and then I said, I get milk it while you can.

00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:46.800
And then I texted him and I said, I guess these groceries are just gonna stay in the back of the car.

00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:51.119
Yeah, he did text me that all the things that I usually have him do.

00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:52.880
Oh, I love it when Sam's at the house.

00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:53.840
I just make him do everything.

00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:56.639
I don't take out the trash, I don't do the dishes, I don't do shit when the kids.

00:36:56.800 --> 00:36:58.079
I can I can tell.

00:36:58.880 --> 00:37:02.400
I think that he just uh was throwing shade at your fatness.

00:37:02.639 --> 00:37:06.000
I was the meatballs from the spaghettios have taken their toll on me.

00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:06.559
That is true.

00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:07.920
Spaghettios are good though.

00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:08.239
Yeah.

00:37:08.400 --> 00:37:09.920
I was actually on the way here, I was like, you know what?

00:37:10.000 --> 00:37:11.039
I'm gonna stop the grocery store.

00:37:11.119 --> 00:37:13.679
I'm gonna get a can of spaghettios that we can put over here.

00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:19.840
I would like to do that, and then we'll post again and I'll like tag that guy that said it so you can see.

00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:22.159
What's the lore behind the spaghettios?

00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:24.000
Some guy we were talking about.

00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:25.199
Well, we'll talk about it now.

00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:26.480
We can talk about whatever we want.

00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:27.599
Talk about whatever we want.

00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:30.880
We're talking about salary versus hourly work.

00:37:31.119 --> 00:37:32.480
People get real mad about this.

00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:44.719
And so, what the point that I was trying to make, which you probably I get it, you probably couldn't tell much in the clip, but I was saying what I did not say is a salary is based on a 40 to 50 hour week.

00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:46.400
That's what I didn't say.

00:37:46.719 --> 00:37:55.840
Sometimes you're gonna work 50 hours a week, sometimes you're gonna work 40 hours a week, sometimes you're gonna work 30 hours or 35 hours.

00:37:56.079 --> 00:37:58.719
If you work more, take the day off tomorrow.

00:37:58.880 --> 00:38:00.719
That's how salary works.

00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:03.280
And people were losing their minds about that.

00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:04.559
Did you read any of those comments?

00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:05.599
I don't have TikTok.

00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:07.920
You can all your comments are on TikTok.

00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:11.039
There were 200 people that commented on all mad at us.

00:38:11.199 --> 00:38:15.119
So, anyway, so some guy says on there, because it was me and Joseph talking.

00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:24.000
Joseph was where you're at, Riley was over there, and the guy says, he says, What do these guys do for a what are these guys do for a living?

00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:27.920
They look like they're um they test meatballs for spaghettios.

00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:41.519
And so I think you know, so the last week the kids were with me all week because they were on fall break and we went to we went out to Mexican one night and and we were all talking about and I told Sam and Oliver that about this joke.

00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:43.760
They died, they thought it was the best thing ever.

00:38:44.000 --> 00:38:47.360
Yeah, whoever was it's like the best fat joke I've ever heard.

00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:48.320
I know, yeah.

00:38:48.480 --> 00:38:49.440
He was totally together.

00:38:49.760 --> 00:38:51.280
Anybody can be like, you're fat.

00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:57.280
But then I was thinking about it, and like when I was talking to Zach the other day, he was like, But think about that though, that would be an awesome job.

00:38:57.440 --> 00:38:58.159
And I'm like, you know what?

00:38:58.320 --> 00:39:01.199
That would be awesome because I like spaghetti is I do too.

00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:03.519
You know what I you know what I do to my spaghettios?

00:39:03.840 --> 00:39:05.280
I hit it with some danos.

00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:06.960
Oh, you put danos on everything.

00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:08.239
Because you know what?

00:39:08.400 --> 00:39:19.840
Danos needs to give me some kind of sponsorship here because I can show you I have all of the Danos and I have backups in the in the cabinet for backups for the backups.

00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:30.719
Because look, you can Danos has a flavor for everything, and all of the other seasonings that you get, if you put just a little bit on it, you're like, shit, this is way too salty.

00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:34.480
But danos, you hit that thing, and it's just seasoning, it's not a bunch of things.

00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:39.039
Let's say here about White Castle.

00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:40.480
You went to White Castle the other day.

00:39:40.559 --> 00:39:42.079
I didn't know that you'd never been there before.

00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:43.280
No, I had been there.

00:39:43.599 --> 00:39:48.400
Um, never sober, but I have been there before, and I hate White Castle.

00:39:48.480 --> 00:39:49.039
I like crystals.

00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:50.800
I was gonna say I'm a crystals guy myself.

00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:56.159
But this started because one of our one of the guys we work with, Jason, he's the he gave me the list.

00:39:56.239 --> 00:40:01.840
These are the fast food restaurants he had eaten in his life: McDonald's, Burger King, and Wadaburger.

00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:02.320
That's it.

00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:02.719
That's it.

00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:04.639
So you're trying to make this guy fat.

00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:05.360
No, no, no.

00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:08.400
Jason asked me, he's like, hey, I'd like to try these.

00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:10.400
Let's go on a fast food world tour.

00:40:10.639 --> 00:40:10.880
Okay.

00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:11.119
Okay.

00:40:11.280 --> 00:40:18.159
And so, like, once a week or once every couple weeks, we'll just go have lunch on like a Tuesday and we'll just pick a random fast food restaurant that he's never been to.

00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:22.239
And so, and it started because we're talking about crystals versus White Castle.

00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:28.880
Jack is I don't think Jack had ever even been to a white crit white castle, but he's he's tearing up those white castles that you get from the store.

00:40:29.119 --> 00:40:30.000
No, those are even worse.

00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:31.199
No, I haven't had those in forever.

00:40:31.519 --> 00:40:32.880
I'll say he used to live on them.

00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:35.760
So then Rico jumped in on this and he's like, I want to go.

00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:37.519
And I'm like, Rico, you don't want to go do this.

00:40:38.559 --> 00:40:40.400
We're gonna talk to Rico about his food problems.

00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:41.119
We are actually.

00:40:41.280 --> 00:40:44.880
I'm like, you don't eat fast food, and you definitely don't eat, you don't eat hamburgers, you don't eat hot dogs.

00:40:44.960 --> 00:40:45.920
What are you gonna fucking eat?

00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:52.000
Well, Jason has decided that he wants to eat like whatever the signature meal is of whatever restaurant we go to.

00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:57.679
So we went, so he's like basically he goes to a he's gonna go to a restaurant, he's gonna order the number one combo, and that's what he's gonna have.

00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:00.000
And so Rico's like, Yeah, I'm gonna do that too.

00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:01.280
I'm like, this is just gonna be bad.

00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:01.760
What is it?

00:41:01.840 --> 00:41:05.599
Just like a three, three or four of it was a four four burgers and fries, yeah.

00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:09.519
And so, like, they're eating it and they're like, This is awful.

00:41:09.599 --> 00:41:16.960
And I'm like, Yes, I told you from the beginning that White Castle is awful to begin with, and now this is where we're starting.

00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:20.239
But Rico's trying to like slide in fancier places.

00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:21.440
He's like, What about ML Rose?

00:41:21.599 --> 00:41:22.639
I'm like, No, that's not what this is about.

00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:23.840
That's not fast food.

00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:26.239
We've we've had this discussion before, yeah.

00:41:26.559 --> 00:41:36.719
Fast food is like a drive-thru, not like you know, because even these fancy places now, especially since COVID, and put like fast or like drive-thru things in.

00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:37.679
No, this is not that.

00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:47.360
No, we're gonna go to Checkers, Mc Yeah, McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell, White Castle, Crystals, Captain D's, Captain D's.

00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:49.599
All of that is fast food.

00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:54.159
So you know how sometimes you go to McDonald's, because I know you eat McDonald's, right?

00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:54.880
You eat McDonald's.

00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:55.840
Not much recently.

00:41:56.079 --> 00:41:56.960
He's a sonic guy.

00:41:57.039 --> 00:41:58.079
I am fine.

00:41:58.159 --> 00:41:58.800
Sometimes you go to son.

00:41:59.039 --> 00:41:59.360
What the fuck?

00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:00.320
We're using McDonald's.

00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:06.480
Sometimes you go to McDonald's, you order a double quarter pounder, and it's just cooked and seasoned perfectly.

00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:07.280
Yeah, that's correct.

00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:12.239
And you're like, if every and then sometimes you get it's just fucking garbage, but it's cooked perfectly.

00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:21.360
The other day when I texted you when I was in the Captain D's drive-thru and I waited forever, it was cooked and seasoned perfectly.

00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:23.920
Yeah, and so it was okay that you had to wait that long.

00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:27.360
Yes, and I was like, I just why can it always be like this?

00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:29.760
Because I don't know, but White Castle, no flavor.

00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:30.480
No, no.

00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:32.000
It tastes like you're eating nothing.

00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:36.159
Yeah, because I remember a while ago, it's like food replacement taste.

00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:36.880
It really is.

00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:39.280
Yeah, I remember a long time ago.

00:42:39.519 --> 00:42:43.199
I know all three of us, Sam was there, Madre was probably there.

00:42:43.360 --> 00:42:43.679
Oh, yeah.

00:42:44.079 --> 00:42:45.360
We did for like the mattress store.

00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:49.199
Yeah, we were buying, we were buying some couches and over there off of Thompson Lane.

00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:52.159
Oh, the the oh, because it's right across from that white gas.

00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:54.880
And I remember going over there and I was like, wow, this is horrible.

00:42:55.199 --> 00:42:56.800
Well, we and that's the one we went to.

00:42:57.360 --> 00:43:09.519
I told I told Nikki to take Jack over to that one because at that point in his life, like they would tear up those, it's like a six-pack, you know, in the freezer section of the store, and they would eat the hell out of those things.

00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:12.400
And I was like, take him to show them that there's a real thing.

00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:15.360
And of course, I think the ones that are frozen are probably better than those.

00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:17.920
I don't know, it was pretty, I'll be honest with you, it was pretty I love crystals.

00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:18.800
I'll go to crystals.

00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:20.559
It is.

00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:22.880
Yeah, I mean I well, everything that I eat is trash food.

00:43:23.199 --> 00:43:27.199
You know what the best part about a crystals is is like when it's got like a little soggy on it.

00:43:27.280 --> 00:43:35.360
Yeah, and you hit that thing, you got a little onion in there, and some uh look got a little taste of mustard, but it's soggy a little bit.

00:43:35.519 --> 00:43:46.239
When I think of crystals, I think of when we were kids, the crystals in Bellmead, and they used to have crisscross cheese fries, so it was just waffle fries, but it had cheese on it, and then that shit went away.

00:43:46.559 --> 00:43:49.840
Yeah, they never bring me anything good back because it's unhealthy.

00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:52.079
What's your favorite fat?

00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:53.119
You said sonic.

00:43:53.360 --> 00:43:55.440
No, it's not I said sonic.

00:43:55.519 --> 00:44:00.880
Oh my favorite probably Chick-fil-A or like Popeyes.

00:44:01.119 --> 00:44:01.920
I like chicken.

00:44:02.159 --> 00:44:02.639
I like chicken.

00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:03.360
I like Popeyes.

00:44:03.440 --> 00:44:04.159
I like Popeyes a lot.

00:44:04.239 --> 00:44:04.880
You know what I don't like anymore?

00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:05.599
Zach's bees.

00:44:05.679 --> 00:44:06.480
I used to love Zach Spees.

00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:07.519
It's gone to shit.

00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:10.079
I like it, but I think we had it too much for a while.

00:44:10.159 --> 00:44:14.400
You know what you need to try out if because you like chicken, you need to go get you something from Bojangles.

00:44:14.559 --> 00:44:15.360
Oh, I love Bojangles.

00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:17.039
I don't like Bojangles other than their biscuits.

00:44:18.400 --> 00:44:19.360
I don't know, I just don't like it.

00:44:19.519 --> 00:44:20.719
I feel like it used to be better.

00:44:21.199 --> 00:44:27.519
But I do love Popeyes, and every now and then Will Uber eats damn KFC because she wants the their mashed potatoes.

00:44:27.599 --> 00:44:28.960
She Caitlin loves their mashed potatoes.

00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:31.920
I haven't had KFC in so many years, and I don't intend to.

00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:37.280
You can get you some like Popeyes is like supposed to be Cajun, so you can get you some red beans and rice in there.

00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:40.800
I feel like I love I love Popeyes.

00:44:41.039 --> 00:44:47.760
We were sitting at home, we were we were probably drunk, and it was like nine o'clock at night, eight or nine o'clock at night.

00:44:47.920 --> 00:44:50.239
And Caitlin's like, I really want some Popeyes.

00:44:50.400 --> 00:44:51.199
I was like, I got this.

00:44:51.280 --> 00:44:52.239
It's on Uber Eats.

00:44:52.320 --> 00:44:53.440
I'll order, I'll order it.

00:44:53.679 --> 00:44:56.880
I waited an hour and they canceled the order on me.

00:44:57.119 --> 00:44:57.519
Why?

00:44:57.679 --> 00:44:59.039
Oh, they don't have what you ordered.

00:44:59.119 --> 00:45:00.480
I just ordered fucking chicken tenders.

00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:02.559
What do you mean they don't have what I ordered?

00:45:03.199 --> 00:45:04.400
So I had to order from somewhere else.

00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:05.280
So it was very disappointing.

00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:05.679
You know what?

00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:10.639
Being in being in Fairview, you don't have the luxury of like Uber Eats and all that kind of stuff.

00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:12.000
Maybe you do, I don't know.

00:45:12.159 --> 00:45:18.000
But I've done DoorDash twice for work, and it was both for like when the guys came in.

00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:19.280
It's expensive.

00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:22.079
The guys came in to install the cameras on the trucks.

00:45:22.239 --> 00:45:23.760
I I got them some DoorDash.

00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:25.840
They because they wanted some kind of weird thing.

00:45:26.000 --> 00:45:27.039
I'm like, I ain't going anywhere.

00:45:27.119 --> 00:45:28.239
So I was like, let me do this.

00:45:28.400 --> 00:45:29.119
Messed it up.

00:45:29.280 --> 00:45:31.679
I did it again for another situation similar to that.

00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:32.400
Messed it up.

00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:34.000
I'm not ever using any of that stuff.

00:45:34.239 --> 00:45:35.760
How do you how do you mess it up?

00:45:35.920 --> 00:45:37.119
I not I didn't mess it up.

00:45:37.280 --> 00:45:39.599
Oh no, they get they oh yeah, they fuck the order up all the time.

00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:47.920
Well, the one was like after 45 minutes, it's like, oh, the uh if they send you an email and like these four things they don't have.

00:45:48.079 --> 00:45:48.320
Yes.

00:45:48.480 --> 00:45:50.159
Sorry about that, by the way.

00:45:50.400 --> 00:45:56.320
It's so like the four guys are here, and like two of the guys don't get to eat because their food didn't come.

00:45:56.480 --> 00:46:02.000
And I get un because usually if I'm ordering Uber Eats, it's because I'm starving and I don't want to go anywhere.

00:46:02.159 --> 00:46:05.039
No, you need to take your lazy ass down the road and just get you something.

00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:06.079
You're not wrong.

00:46:06.239 --> 00:46:08.000
You got a fat moe's right around the corner.

00:46:08.159 --> 00:46:08.719
And you know what?

00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:10.960
I haven't had fat moe since I was probably his age.

00:46:11.119 --> 00:46:13.280
Well, that's what I'd be that'd be my default.

00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:15.599
Well, that's on the list of places we're going.

00:46:15.840 --> 00:46:22.960
But anyway, but I am so angry whenever my food arrives, and it's always my my order that's missing.

00:46:23.119 --> 00:46:30.960
Oh, we're gonna order McDonald's, we're gonna get the kids, you know, we're gonna just get a fucking shit ton of chicken nuggets, but my burger is always missing, so I just have to not eat.

00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:42.719
Yeah, but the food's already expensive, and then they tack on it more expensive because of uh of because of of uh like delivery fees and stuff, and then you gotta tip the guy.

00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:44.320
There's no point in doing that.

00:46:44.639 --> 00:46:46.559
Jack, you ever done Uber Eats or anything?

00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:52.960
Yeah, for that first few days we were at uh her aunt's house, we were doing Uber Eats because she left us like a hundred dollar gift card.

00:46:53.199 --> 00:46:54.800
Did you notice how it's more expensive?

00:46:54.960 --> 00:47:03.039
So if you you wanted something from Chick-fil-A that's like seven dollars, it's like automatically twelve dollars and then delivery and then tip.

00:47:03.599 --> 00:47:07.280
I think tipping should not exist, we should just pay people.

00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:09.360
Well, tipping should be in the restaurant.

00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:11.760
Here, this will be a good TikTok clip talking about this.

00:47:11.840 --> 00:47:12.079
Hold on.

00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:13.760
This tip thing pisses me off.

00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:14.480
Go ahead.

00:47:14.719 --> 00:47:17.519
Somehow, it doesn't matter what you order on Uber Eats.

00:47:17.599 --> 00:47:23.920
If I order a double quarter pounder combo just for me because I'm at home on vacation and I don't want to go anywhere, it's$60.

00:47:24.639 --> 00:47:28.480
If I order two double quarter pounder combos, it's still$60.

00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:30.400
Somehow it's always$60.

00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:34.559
I know that's just ridiculous to pay that amount.

00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:35.440
I agree.

00:47:35.679 --> 00:47:39.599
I mean, food's as expensive as it is, and then to pay those fees on top of it.

00:47:39.760 --> 00:47:45.440
When I learned this, is when that guy Sam would come in to work and he just lives off of that stuff.

00:47:45.599 --> 00:47:48.960
So he's looking at the like the cracker barrel menu or something.

00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:56.400
If you want a cracker barrel, and something that if you go there, it's like twelve dollars for this meal, and they just hack on an extra five dollars on it.

00:47:56.480 --> 00:47:57.840
I didn't know that they did that.

00:47:58.159 --> 00:48:02.559
Sometimes when the kids are at the house because they sleep till noon.

00:48:03.519 --> 00:48:05.519
Caitlin sleeps till like eight.

00:48:06.320 --> 00:48:08.400
I get up at five on the weekends anyway.

00:48:08.639 --> 00:48:14.400
And sometimes I'll order IHOP or a cracker barrel just so I can be like, hey guys, here's some food.

00:48:14.480 --> 00:48:17.519
Wake the fuck up instead of cook it because I don't cook.

00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:19.280
No, they just are gonna sit there.

00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:21.199
$100 every time.

00:48:21.440 --> 00:48:22.719
It's just too much.

00:48:23.119 --> 00:48:25.440
This is what drives me crazy about tipping.

00:48:26.559 --> 00:48:37.280
The tipping thing is out of hand because I'm one of those-I'm one of those people that feel bad if I don't like I go to Jersey Mike's every day, my meal's$11, and every single time.

00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:40.159
And then the people aren't even paying attention, nor do they care.

00:48:40.320 --> 00:48:44.320
The thing comes up and I feel like an asshole because I go I go in there every day.

00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:50.719
The problem is I go in there every day, so I don't want to have like this, you know, hey, this is a guy that sucks.

00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:53.760
Because usually when I find that's that non-tipping motherfucker.

00:48:54.159 --> 00:48:58.480
But the thing is, is like in general, it drives me crazy.

00:48:58.559 --> 00:48:59.679
Why do you have to tip on everything?

00:48:59.760 --> 00:49:05.679
If I go sit down at a restaurant and you come and you serve the table, I'm gonna give you a tip, and I'm gonna give you a great tip.

00:49:06.159 --> 00:49:10.719
If you um deliver a pizza, well, it's customary.

00:49:11.039 --> 00:49:15.280
Give the guy a few dollars for a tip, but now it's like tip everything.

00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:17.679
If I get a cup of coffee, you know, they want a tip.

00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:19.119
You get anything, a tip.

00:49:19.199 --> 00:49:20.800
It's like you just tipped out.

00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:28.079
Like if you go to if if you go to a restaurant like Edley's where you order, they give you a number, then you go sit down.

00:49:28.559 --> 00:49:30.719
They're like, give me a tip.

00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:32.639
Do you want to tip 15, 20, or 25%?

00:49:32.880 --> 00:49:38.960
I was like, I want to sit, I want to, I want to fucking tip zero percent because you're not gonna refill my drink, you're not doing anything for me.

00:49:39.119 --> 00:49:39.920
Yeah, you just walk my food.

00:49:40.079 --> 00:49:42.960
I ordered the food, you walk my food out here, and that's at the best.

00:49:43.039 --> 00:49:46.639
How about the places where they call my name and I have to go pick it up and they still want to tip?

00:49:46.800 --> 00:49:50.400
Yeah, like Hattie B's type situation because a lot of them are moving to that.

00:49:50.559 --> 00:49:54.400
You pay for your food, you put a tip on there, and then they bring your food out.

00:49:54.559 --> 00:49:58.079
It's like so you're the last time before you're tipping before you that's the last time you see them.

00:49:58.239 --> 00:49:58.639
I know.

00:49:58.800 --> 00:50:02.400
Like I have to go, my fat ass has to go refill my own damn drink.

00:50:02.559 --> 00:50:03.679
That's unacceptable.

00:50:03.920 --> 00:50:06.960
Look, listen to this one that listen to this one that's messed up.

00:50:07.039 --> 00:50:08.800
This is the one that I hate more than anything.

00:50:09.039 --> 00:50:11.360
Jade walk here in Fairview, the Chinese restaurant.

00:50:11.519 --> 00:50:11.920
Love it.

00:50:12.079 --> 00:50:13.920
Great food, it's always perfect.

00:50:14.079 --> 00:50:18.559
You order it online and it won't let you check out until you leave the tip amount.

00:50:18.639 --> 00:50:20.559
Okay, I can get behind that.

00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:32.480
Leave uh, you know, 10% and it makes me mad because I want to tip after I get my food so that there's no maybe I'm gonna spit in this guy's food because he didn't leave me a tip.

00:50:32.800 --> 00:50:34.880
At least with Uber Eat, you can adjust it.

00:50:35.599 --> 00:50:38.880
So you're at the end of the order, you're about to hit submit.

00:50:39.039 --> 00:50:47.519
Say you put five bucks on there, you go down to the place, they print off the receipt because you have to pay for it down there.

00:50:47.599 --> 00:50:48.639
The total's just online.

00:50:48.960 --> 00:50:53.599
You pay for it down there, and so it's got the tip on there, and then it's got another tip.

00:50:54.719 --> 00:51:04.719
So, what always used to happen is I'd I'd order the food, I'd put a tip on it, Nikki would go pick it up and pay for it, and I'd be like, Why is this more than like what I this seems really expensive?

00:51:04.800 --> 00:51:07.199
Because she was tipping on it and I'd already tipped on it.

00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:13.840
So now every time like we do that, I'm like, hey, don't tip because I already put the tip on there, which I don't know if she does it or not.

00:51:13.920 --> 00:51:16.079
But what about for non-food things?

00:51:16.239 --> 00:51:17.920
You know, tattoos.

00:51:18.239 --> 00:51:19.119
I don't like that.

00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:24.480
I don't because I feel like I ask and I always tip on I always tip Ryan on tattoos.

00:51:24.639 --> 00:51:25.039
I do too.

00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:31.519
I always say and I always get mad about it, but I don't, I mean, I'm not really mad about it, but I ask you how much it's gonna cost.

00:51:31.679 --> 00:51:33.039
It's a service you're providing.

00:51:33.119 --> 00:51:36.159
It's not like you're refilling my drain, like it's a weird thing.

00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:44.400
And then so like I've even Googled this before because I don't know if it's appropriate to tip a tattoo artist because he's the one that told me how much it costs.

00:51:44.639 --> 00:51:45.199
Yeah.

00:51:45.440 --> 00:51:56.800
Actually, Ryan never tells me how much it costs, he just well, here's the problem with that is if they say, Okay, well, this tattoo is going to be$500, you got a good deal on it because tattoos are expensive as shit now.

00:51:57.039 --> 00:52:06.079
But if say it's$500, well, say that they want to have a little put a tip in it themselves, it could have been$400 and them just tell you$500.

00:52:06.159 --> 00:52:13.599
I get that they're they're paying for their spot, you know, that like in the whatever studio they're at, so they have to pay the I get that.

00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:15.760
But then like leave another tip on it.

00:52:15.840 --> 00:52:24.239
But the problem is, is if you're spending$500 on a tattoo and then you're tipping 20% on it or 25% or 50% on it, that's a lot of money.

00:52:24.320 --> 00:52:24.639
Oh, yeah.

00:52:24.719 --> 00:52:30.960
Like Caitlin and I went you know in June and got our last tattoos, and you know, we always do it together, so I'm paying for two tattoos.

00:52:31.119 --> 00:52:32.400
It comes out to like a thousand dollars.

00:52:32.480 --> 00:52:34.719
Um am I giving you a two hundred dollar tip on this?

00:52:34.960 --> 00:52:36.000
Well, that's nope.

00:52:36.800 --> 00:52:38.800
I mean, that's a little bit different than food.

00:52:38.880 --> 00:52:39.840
It's not like you're gonna get a lot of people.

00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:40.719
Well, that's what I'm saying.

00:52:40.800 --> 00:52:41.199
I don't know.

00:52:41.360 --> 00:52:44.320
I don't know what the he's not gonna be like mess it up.

00:52:44.800 --> 00:52:50.480
I'm sure that all 14 of your listeners will critique us on the proper way to tip a tattoo artist.

00:52:50.559 --> 00:52:53.599
And I'm not trying to be an asshole of tattoo artists, I just don't know what the appropriate thing is.

00:52:53.760 --> 00:52:57.440
Well, it's not even it's not just with t tattoo artists, it's like with everything.

00:52:57.519 --> 00:52:59.440
What's another tipping thing?

00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:02.800
Like not food and not tattoo related?

00:53:02.960 --> 00:53:03.599
Yeah, yeah.

00:53:03.840 --> 00:53:05.039
What's another one out there?

00:53:05.119 --> 00:53:06.239
I'm trying to think.

00:53:06.800 --> 00:53:11.199
There was one, I can't remember what there's something recently that I bought that I had to leave a tip for.

00:53:11.440 --> 00:53:17.280
I think me and Zephyr have gone to like bookstores and they check out and they ask me for a tip.

00:53:17.440 --> 00:53:17.920
For what?

00:53:18.079 --> 00:53:23.760
And I think that I think that they do that whole, oh, if they're gonna pay this much, they'll pay this much, right?

00:53:24.000 --> 00:53:29.119
They just throw it the the software, they just let the software ask for it, and then they're just like, oh, look at that.

00:53:29.440 --> 00:53:33.199
The problem is is what what I'd preface this whole conversation with.

00:53:33.360 --> 00:53:36.000
I am that guy that's like, well, you know, I feel bad.

00:53:36.079 --> 00:53:39.440
I don't want to look like an asshole, and that's what they're banking on.

00:53:39.679 --> 00:53:46.000
But look, people are gonna come at us when I post this because I'm not saying that people don't deserve tips.

00:53:46.079 --> 00:53:46.960
I believe that they do.

00:53:47.119 --> 00:53:49.920
You go to a restaurant, you get good service, you get tips.

00:53:50.079 --> 00:53:57.519
I'm I and people, if any if any of the 14 listeners are out there have ever served me, then you know that I tip way more than I should.

00:53:58.079 --> 00:53:59.440
I tip way more than I should.

00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:05.280
When we walk into Las Palmas, we know that those wait that the two waitresses and the waiter are fighting over who's getting us.

00:54:05.599 --> 00:54:07.440
Yeah, that's how it is with me too.

00:54:07.679 --> 00:54:10.000
But you can't tell, you can't now.

00:54:10.079 --> 00:54:13.039
I would like to say I've never worked in food service.

00:54:13.199 --> 00:54:15.360
Like I went retail, I didn't go food service.

00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:19.039
I worked in grocery stores and I've never done food service.

00:54:19.360 --> 00:54:22.159
But I lost my train of thought.

00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:25.679
No, this is what makes me mad about it because I learned No, he said what he said.

00:54:25.840 --> 00:54:30.079
We should just pay them a living wage instead of them relying on tips and just get rid of tipping.

00:54:30.320 --> 00:54:31.039
Does that work?

00:54:31.280 --> 00:54:35.679
Well, because you got people, because I I do want to tip if I get something good.

00:54:36.079 --> 00:54:38.000
I don't think that there's a problem with the model.

00:54:38.079 --> 00:54:53.280
I think that this is why this happens because I learned this when Hayden was working at Hattie B's, because he was getting paid like his base pay was like 15, 16, 17, call it whatever you want, dollars an hour when he left there, because they do all that group tipping.

00:54:53.360 --> 00:54:57.840
So anytime you tip at a place like that, like Jersey Mike's today, the back room gets part of it.

00:54:58.320 --> 00:55:03.280
Well, what happens is they're like, all right, this shift we made a hundred dollars and it gets split between all of them.

00:55:03.360 --> 00:55:08.320
So Hayden was bringing home to where it looked like he was making like$25 an hour.

00:55:08.559 --> 00:55:10.480
So you know that's that's what they're doing.

00:55:10.639 --> 00:55:18.159
So but basically what's happening is is these businesses like we're paying these wages for these people, yes, on top of that.

00:55:18.320 --> 00:55:20.000
Well, that's why I'm that's why I'm questioning it.

00:55:20.239 --> 00:55:21.599
I don't want to pay someone's wage.

00:55:21.760 --> 00:55:23.199
Did you work at you worked at Boombas?

00:55:23.440 --> 00:55:24.719
Yeah, I worked at two boombazas.

00:55:24.880 --> 00:55:26.079
Yeah, is it boombazas?

00:55:26.320 --> 00:55:26.880
Boombazas.

00:55:27.119 --> 00:55:28.159
Did you ever get tips?

00:55:28.480 --> 00:55:28.800
No.

00:55:29.679 --> 00:55:30.639
See, I don't understand it.

00:55:30.800 --> 00:55:33.519
I got 15 an hour for working in the back and making pizza.

00:55:33.679 --> 00:55:43.920
Yeah, I remember Virginia worked at a bar on 2nd Avenue, and she used to get into fights with the the barbacks and shit because they would take half of her tips.

00:55:44.079 --> 00:55:52.639
Yeah, well, and they also have to tip out the waitresses too, yeah, or the waiters or waitresses, so they tip them out, they gotta tip tip out the bar back, and then they can keep some.

00:55:52.719 --> 00:55:54.079
It's and the host, I think.

00:55:54.159 --> 00:56:00.000
Because when I worked at Mellon Mushroom, you got to tip the host, the bar back and the waitresses.

00:56:00.239 --> 00:56:02.800
I don't know why people you gotta tip the host, honestly.

00:56:02.880 --> 00:56:04.320
I don't I don't see the point in that.

00:56:04.480 --> 00:56:07.119
You walked me to a table, and you went back, yeah.

00:56:07.599 --> 00:56:12.800
And I and I've never been out of the country, so I don't know if this is but from what I've read, like this is a very American thing.

00:56:13.360 --> 00:56:15.760
Yeah, it's Europeans don't do it, Japanese don't do it.

00:56:16.000 --> 00:56:20.320
The problem is, I don't think it's our generation that has an expectation of it.

00:56:20.480 --> 00:56:22.559
He it's his generation, it's your fault.

00:56:23.119 --> 00:56:23.599
My bad.

00:56:23.840 --> 00:56:25.280
No, yeah, y'all fuck everything up.

00:56:25.599 --> 00:56:25.920
We do.

00:56:26.079 --> 00:56:29.119
Well, not even his generation, it's probably the one before him.

00:56:29.360 --> 00:56:31.360
It it's the one before me is you.

00:56:31.519 --> 00:56:32.800
Yeah, we are the one before him.

00:56:32.960 --> 00:56:33.599
I want to tip.

00:56:33.760 --> 00:56:35.920
I know you don't like to admit this, but you are a millennial.

00:56:36.079 --> 00:56:37.119
I want to tip I know.

00:56:37.199 --> 00:56:38.079
I want a tip.

00:56:38.400 --> 00:56:39.280
That's what I'm saying.

00:56:39.360 --> 00:56:48.480
I want a tip, but I don't like I don't like it when you're at a at a coffee shop and they flip it over and it's like asking you for a yeah, you made Starbucks, you made my coffee.

00:56:48.559 --> 00:56:48.719
Thanks.

00:56:48.800 --> 00:56:50.159
I don't why do I need to tip you for this?

00:56:50.559 --> 00:56:51.920
I I I enjoy tipping.

00:56:52.000 --> 00:56:54.320
I've if I get excellent service.

00:56:54.639 --> 00:56:55.760
Well, I love to bless people.

00:56:55.920 --> 00:56:56.480
Yes, like here.

00:56:56.880 --> 00:56:59.280
I don't look at it that way, but I just like well I look at it like that.

00:56:59.360 --> 00:57:05.440
Like, look, you know, especially you never know when somebody's having a hard time in life, any problems that they may have.

00:57:05.679 --> 00:57:15.119
And that$75 tip might have made their exact probably made their night because there was times where I knew my water was gonna get shut off the next day if if I didn't come up with this money.

00:57:15.199 --> 00:57:18.639
And those people, and I'm not saying it's somebody might have that situation.

00:57:18.719 --> 00:57:33.280
I'm just saying that like I like to tip in those type situations, but when it's like boom, boom, boom, everybody's working trying to get something done and nobody really gives a shit where the you know that you're even tipping and doesn't even know that Joseph Hollis left this$20 tip here on this Hattie B's food.

00:57:33.360 --> 00:57:36.159
It's like it's just going to them to pay their salary.

00:57:36.400 --> 00:57:40.639
We have so we have that pizza hut right there on Richard Road, right next to our house.

00:57:40.880 --> 00:57:48.000
And when we first moved in, we would order pizza from there, and they didn't use DoorDash, they they still had delivery drivers.

00:57:48.159 --> 00:58:00.880
They actually had delivery for years, and there were two delivery drivers, and one of them was just this older dude, and he'd deliver, and he'd ask me about dad, and I'm like, I didn't know dad ordered Pizza Hut, but okay.

00:58:01.440 --> 00:58:04.800
And um, he always would call me if something was wrong.

00:58:04.880 --> 00:58:08.559
I mean, we're talking that kind of service, we're talking service.

00:58:08.719 --> 00:58:15.360
We're talking that this Pizza Hut is literally walk into your houses, like it's right there, it's real close.

00:58:15.679 --> 00:58:21.679
But he was always happy, and I would always and then there was another guy who was terrified of our dogs.

00:58:21.760 --> 00:58:25.679
So if the windows were open, he would call me and be like, I'm not coming to your door.

00:58:26.559 --> 00:58:31.360
I'm like, okay, so and he and then it got to the point where he would come to the door and I'd open it.

00:58:31.519 --> 00:58:32.960
He's like, Well, where are the dogs at?

00:58:33.199 --> 00:58:35.280
Oh, here's your here's your stuff, blah, blah, blah.

00:58:35.519 --> 00:58:36.320
They didn't have Dr.

00:58:36.480 --> 00:58:37.039
Pepper.

00:58:37.360 --> 00:58:41.840
Um, last time I called you about this, you just said just bring me a Pepsi or whatever, you know.

00:58:41.920 --> 00:58:48.239
And they actually can't, and I would always tip, you know, 20% on a delivery, which I think is excessive on a delivery.

00:58:48.400 --> 00:58:48.719
Yeah.

00:58:48.880 --> 00:58:51.440
But they were always like, We really appreciate the tip.

00:58:51.679 --> 00:58:54.639
And then I guess they got rid of them.

00:58:54.960 --> 00:58:55.679
Got rid of the people?

00:58:55.840 --> 00:58:56.559
They got rid of the people.

00:58:56.639 --> 00:59:00.400
So if I order on Pizza Hut, I have to wait for DoorDash to come get it.

00:59:00.480 --> 00:59:02.000
My order is always wrong.

00:59:02.159 --> 00:59:04.320
And they don't, I'm like, well, where's my other pizza?

00:59:04.400 --> 00:59:05.280
Yeah, and they don't give a shit.

00:59:05.440 --> 00:59:06.960
They're like, Well, I don't speak English.

00:59:07.199 --> 00:59:09.280
Like, you have to call the restaurant.

00:59:09.360 --> 00:59:11.199
I'm like, I don't want to call the restaurant.

00:59:11.360 --> 00:59:15.599
So I've started going up there by my just going up there and getting it on Friday nights when we had pizza night.

00:59:15.760 --> 00:59:19.360
I mean, if you can't walk that far to not have to pay the delivery fee anyway.

00:59:19.599 --> 00:59:22.800
Just for clarification, I don't walk to get it, I drive to get it.

00:59:23.599 --> 00:59:24.239
You're a sad man.

00:59:24.400 --> 00:59:24.960
What's weird?

00:59:25.039 --> 00:59:29.440
What's what it's very it's it's not really that close, but it's it's it's very close.

00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:31.119
I'm very conflicted on it.

00:59:31.199 --> 00:59:32.480
We had a situation the other night.

00:59:32.559 --> 00:59:36.159
We had a big Amazon order because we had to order a bed and a couple things.

00:59:36.320 --> 00:59:42.800
So that this guy delivered, like he had to go to his vehicle like four times to get all the stuff to put on our porch.

00:59:42.960 --> 00:59:46.880
And in a in a scenario like that, I wish I could have given that guy a tip.

00:59:47.039 --> 00:59:53.519
Well, the problem is here is that one, I don't have cash, which I'm sure that most people don't carry cash around.

00:59:53.679 --> 00:59:53.840
Right.

00:59:54.159 --> 00:59:55.280
So you can't do that.

00:59:55.440 --> 00:59:58.159
But I don't want Amazon to be like, do you want to leave your?

00:59:58.480 --> 01:00:01.039
Because I'm like, no, because then People feel obligated.

01:00:01.199 --> 01:00:01.440
Yes.

01:00:01.599 --> 01:00:06.719
I wish I could have like been like, hey man, here here, you know, like like an Apple Pay type thing.

01:00:06.880 --> 01:00:08.159
Let me give you five bucks.

01:00:08.400 --> 01:00:13.599
When we had our couch delivered by Rooms2Go, like I didn't know if I was supposed to tip those drivers.

01:00:13.760 --> 01:00:15.599
I paid the delivery fee to have it delivered.

01:00:15.679 --> 01:00:20.400
I had no choice because you can't just buy shit at Rooms2Go and bring it home.

01:00:20.480 --> 01:00:21.840
You have to have it delivered.

01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:23.840
But um, I didn't know if I was supposed to tip them.

01:00:24.239 --> 01:00:25.199
Did you look it up?

01:00:25.440 --> 01:00:25.920
I did.

01:00:26.000 --> 01:00:28.639
I uh I pair I panic about these kinds of things.

01:00:28.800 --> 01:00:29.519
I know I do too.

01:00:29.679 --> 01:00:32.639
I Google all these kinds of things, I Google everything.

01:00:32.880 --> 01:00:34.239
Well, I don't want to be a jerk about it.

01:00:34.400 --> 01:00:34.800
I don't either.

01:00:34.880 --> 01:00:37.760
And that's why I'm these two guys that delivered my couch, they were awesome.

01:00:37.840 --> 01:00:42.960
I didn't even I actually I actually went out of my way to not pay for them to set it up.

01:00:43.039 --> 01:00:45.360
Just drop it off in the living room and I will set it all up.

01:00:45.440 --> 01:00:46.559
I'll put it all together.

01:00:46.719 --> 01:00:51.519
I just need you to get it to my house because y'all won't let me just put it in my truck and bring it to my house.

01:00:51.760 --> 01:00:54.480
And so like they even set it up for me, even though I didn't pay for it.

01:00:54.559 --> 01:00:55.440
So I felt real bad.

01:00:55.519 --> 01:00:56.320
But I mean, I had some cash.

01:00:56.639 --> 01:00:57.119
Did you tip them?

01:00:57.199 --> 01:00:57.599
I tipped them.

01:00:57.679 --> 01:00:59.360
I only had 20 bucks, so I tipped them 20 bucks.

01:00:59.519 --> 01:00:59.760
I don't know.

01:00:59.840 --> 01:01:00.719
Is it customary to do?

01:01:00.960 --> 01:01:02.880
It seems like it would be something like that.

01:01:03.119 --> 01:01:04.079
They said no.

01:01:04.880 --> 01:01:09.840
I asked them if people normally tip them, they said no, but I felt like in that situation that they earned a tip.

01:01:10.079 --> 01:01:10.639
Yeah.

01:01:10.880 --> 01:01:11.599
I don't know.

01:01:11.760 --> 01:01:36.639
It's just it's just gotten so the lines are blurred with all of it these days in this um in in the society that we're in, it's just very it's very strange that you know, things that you want to tip on, you can't really tip on, and then just something as simple as like that Hattie Bees example really drives me crazy because like if I had an interaction with you and like you provided me a service, then yes, I want to tip you.

01:01:36.800 --> 01:01:43.039
But if you're just taking my order and then somebody on the team is just well, the Hattie Bees needs to pay those people more money.

01:01:43.280 --> 01:01:47.679
Well about Titans games when I go buy a beer from the concession stand, they make me they ask me to tip.

01:01:47.840 --> 01:01:51.119
Yeah, and then you can only buy like one or two, so you gotta keep going back.

01:01:51.199 --> 01:01:51.360
Yeah.

01:01:51.519 --> 01:02:02.400
If you're getting within so the already expensive beer is even more expensive, and they don't advertise the extra expense because then I panic and I don't want to look like an asshole, so I leave like a 15% tip.

01:02:02.880 --> 01:02:03.679
And that's on me.

01:02:04.079 --> 01:02:05.679
Jack, what do you think about all this?

01:02:06.000 --> 01:02:11.280
I think that they ought to make it to where they get paid normally.

01:02:11.840 --> 01:02:15.920
We should stop paying people who are cash cashiers.

01:02:16.079 --> 01:02:16.880
That's stupid.

01:02:17.360 --> 01:02:21.599
You know, if if my waitress does a great job, how about I give her 10 bucks?

01:02:21.679 --> 01:02:22.320
How about that?

01:02:22.559 --> 01:02:24.320
And then that's good.

01:02:24.480 --> 01:02:26.320
She makes what,$15 an hour?

01:02:26.559 --> 01:02:28.159
Give her$10, that's a nice tip.

01:02:28.400 --> 01:02:29.599
What's minimum wage now?

01:02:29.920 --> 01:02:30.639
It's I don't know.

01:02:31.760 --> 01:02:35.440
But this goes back to some of the comments that were on that post when we were talking about salary.

01:02:35.599 --> 01:02:43.360
And I agree with this that if you go and you start a job and you say, you know what, I agree to working here for$10 an hour.

01:02:43.519 --> 01:02:45.280
Well, then that's what you accepted.

01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:48.079
And so the problem that I had when I was- You get what you negotiate.

01:02:48.239 --> 01:02:53.280
The problem that I had when I was managing that group of people is like hire a guy in.

01:02:53.519 --> 01:02:55.599
Let's just use the$10 an hour example.

01:02:55.760 --> 01:03:00.719
We hire somebody in at$10 an hour, and they come back to me three weeks later, hey, I need more money.

01:03:00.880 --> 01:03:08.320
Well, no, you agreed to coming in at$10 an hour,$20,$50, you know, whatever you want to call it.

01:03:08.800 --> 01:03:13.519
Because what happens is these people go and they start talking to everybody else about what they get.

01:03:14.000 --> 01:03:15.119
It's his kind of people.

01:03:15.440 --> 01:03:16.960
Don't don't bring me into this.

01:03:17.199 --> 01:03:20.559
All my generation on those trucks who can't stop talking about what they all make.

01:03:20.960 --> 01:03:23.280
Well, and the problem too is they all lie to each other about it.

01:03:23.440 --> 01:03:23.840
Correct.

01:03:24.000 --> 01:03:30.000
Because it's a pissing contest, and you're like, I'm a bigger man than you, and I make a lot more money than you.

01:03:30.159 --> 01:03:33.519
And so then that person gets mad and like, hey, boss, I want more money.

01:03:33.679 --> 01:03:34.880
Yes, you're paying this guy.

01:03:35.199 --> 01:03:36.400
Well, he negotiated better than you.

01:03:36.480 --> 01:03:37.519
I don't know what you want me to say.

01:03:37.679 --> 01:03:39.760
Well, that's the problem on the management side of it.

01:03:39.840 --> 01:03:42.719
I get it on the other side of it.

01:03:42.960 --> 01:03:50.480
You but at the end of the day, you accepted X amount for this job, whether it be a hundred thousand dollar salary a year or ten dollars an hour.

01:03:50.639 --> 01:03:51.360
You accepted it.

01:03:51.440 --> 01:03:56.079
You signed the paper that said, yes, I will come and work for you for this amount of money.

01:03:56.320 --> 01:03:59.440
So if you want to make more money, well, here's the steps to make more money.

01:03:59.519 --> 01:04:06.480
Here's how you can make more money, or you can go find another job because thank God we live in a free country to where you can go work wherever you can get a job.

01:04:06.639 --> 01:04:07.039
Move on.

01:04:07.360 --> 01:04:08.239
I think it's funny.

01:04:08.400 --> 01:04:12.800
Um, the guys, I won't say any names, but like they'll just start talking shit about each other.

01:04:12.960 --> 01:04:16.480
Like, they'll talk to me like as a vessel.

01:04:16.719 --> 01:04:19.440
Hey, this guy, hey, that guy over there, he's ugly.

01:04:19.599 --> 01:04:21.360
And then I'll go work with that guy for a day.

01:04:21.840 --> 01:04:24.000
Like, hey, that guy right there, he's got a big mouth.

01:04:24.079 --> 01:04:24.960
He needs to shut up.

01:04:25.119 --> 01:04:27.039
Hey, that guy right there, he's a bitch.

01:04:27.199 --> 01:04:28.559
Why are y'all telling me this?

01:04:28.639 --> 01:04:29.280
I don't care.

01:04:29.679 --> 01:04:37.840
Well, they always what I've noticed because I used to work out on the crew with those those those people are Hispanic friends.

01:04:38.079 --> 01:04:39.599
Well, the crews in general.

01:04:39.920 --> 01:04:41.119
The crew, the crews in general.

01:04:41.280 --> 01:04:55.679
Well, a lot of this I learned Spanish from just being, you know, working on this crew for a couple years, two or three years, where it was like literally me and four or two Mexican guys and like two guy, one guy from El Salvador and one guy from Guatemala.

01:04:55.760 --> 01:04:57.039
That's a crew that I work with.

01:04:57.199 --> 01:04:58.880
So there's a lot going on there.

01:04:59.119 --> 01:05:06.159
And and I always tell the Mexican guy, the um the all the guys, I said, two Americans, you're all Mexican.

01:05:06.320 --> 01:05:09.760
And then the guys from El Salvador are like, I'm not Mexican, I'm not Mexican.

01:05:09.840 --> 01:05:19.519
I look, I'm just telling you what people I know that you're not Mexican, but but they but uh most Americans just think that you are all Mexicans.

01:05:19.760 --> 01:05:23.039
So the problem with it is is you got me that speaks English.

01:05:23.360 --> 01:05:30.559
So those people think that like you have an upper hand because uh and I would feel the same way if I was in their country.

01:05:30.639 --> 01:05:32.639
I don't know the language, I feel small, you know.

01:05:32.719 --> 01:05:37.039
I I'm like I'm trying to, you know, I don't know what to do in this situation.

01:05:37.280 --> 01:05:40.880
So they look at you like you're like, you know, you speak English.

01:05:41.039 --> 01:05:45.519
This is where you were born, this is your country, but they're gonna talk shit about each other.

01:05:45.840 --> 01:05:47.280
You do look like one of them though.

01:05:47.440 --> 01:05:52.639
But yeah, I've been told that my arms have getting really gotten really dark because I roll my sleeves up every day.

01:05:52.880 --> 01:06:03.039
Because the Mexicans are all bitching about the guy from El Salvador, and the Guatemalan hates the guy from El Salvador, but all of them hate the Mexicans, yeah.

01:06:03.119 --> 01:06:06.239
Because they gotta go through Mexico, they gotta go through Mexico to get well.

01:06:06.320 --> 01:06:10.639
This is pre pre-border shut down, but like they'd have to spend more money.

01:06:10.719 --> 01:06:13.519
I've had I've had endless conversations with these guys about it.

01:06:13.599 --> 01:06:24.000
This is a real thing that happened to where a guy from Guatemala doesn't like the Mexican people just because they're good coming up through the country and they're having to hey, you can come through here for a thousand dollars.

01:06:24.159 --> 01:06:28.639
You have to pay us, you have to pay you, you know, and that's what they that's what they had to do to get here.

01:06:28.960 --> 01:06:30.559
And then there's Hondurans.

01:06:31.440 --> 01:06:41.119
And so now they're all so now they so now they get here and they're working on a crew and they're bitching to Jack about how they hate how they all hate each other.

01:06:41.360 --> 01:06:42.079
It's funny.

01:06:42.400 --> 01:06:47.119
But the thing is it's it's the same with it's the same with American people too.

01:06:47.360 --> 01:06:59.519
You get a gr a guy, a crew of American guys sitting there bitching about what they get paid, and oh, this guy's lazy over here, and then they it's just it's it's almost better that you don't speak the language because then you don't have to hear it all.

01:06:59.760 --> 01:07:02.400
I don't have that problem, all of all of my guys speaking.

01:07:02.639 --> 01:07:08.800
Well, yeah, all of my guys they're they're pretty clear in what they want, and they can express it to me.

01:07:09.119 --> 01:07:10.559
You see all those deer out there?

01:07:10.639 --> 01:07:14.000
Yeah, I took a video of one uh on Saturday morning.

01:07:14.159 --> 01:07:16.800
He was just going at it, eating and eating the what do they eat?

01:07:17.039 --> 01:07:23.360
They eat bugs or they're eating crap, they're just sitting there munching on grass, just hanging.

01:07:23.760 --> 01:07:24.400
I don't know.

01:07:24.559 --> 01:07:26.400
I don't know about animals.

01:07:26.559 --> 01:07:27.920
I don't research deer food.

01:07:28.159 --> 01:07:30.800
Why don't we get Jimmy on the phone and be like, hey, what did deer eat?

01:07:31.039 --> 01:07:31.440
Maybe.

01:07:31.679 --> 01:07:32.480
All right, what else?

01:07:32.639 --> 01:07:33.599
What else you got, Jack?

01:07:33.760 --> 01:07:37.119
Jack, what do you what other than work and Zephyr, what do you have going on?

01:07:37.360 --> 01:07:37.840
Not much.

01:07:38.000 --> 01:07:42.079
I went to Bass Pro the other day with one of my friends, and we just looked at guns the entire time.

01:07:42.400 --> 01:07:42.960
I like that.

01:07:43.039 --> 01:07:44.320
Do I need to take you shooting?

01:07:44.559 --> 01:07:45.039
Yes.

01:07:45.360 --> 01:07:45.679
Okay.

01:07:46.079 --> 01:07:50.800
We have, I don't know what they're called, but they're like Civil War era guns, like remakes.

01:07:51.280 --> 01:07:52.559
We're not taking the black powder guns.

01:07:52.960 --> 01:07:54.559
Come on, those are fun.

01:07:55.280 --> 01:07:56.320
You don't know any better.

01:07:56.639 --> 01:07:57.440
I will bring guns.

01:07:57.519 --> 01:07:57.920
It's okay.

01:07:58.480 --> 01:07:58.800
I'll take you.

01:07:58.880 --> 01:07:59.360
We'll go to roll.

01:07:59.519 --> 01:08:01.760
I'm a member at war at Royal Range, so you don't have to pay.

01:08:01.840 --> 01:08:02.559
You just have to go.

01:08:02.800 --> 01:08:09.519
My friend Johnny, he's really good with guns, and he was reading the manual to those guns, and he was like, Oh, yeah, if you do this, it'll explode.

01:08:09.599 --> 01:08:10.719
If you do this, it'll explode.

01:08:10.880 --> 01:08:11.920
You do this, it'll explode.

01:08:12.000 --> 01:08:15.760
And I'm like, Okay, so just don't fuck anything up and I won't explode.

01:08:15.920 --> 01:08:20.399
You know how it cracks me up to if you think about like just think about like the Revolutionary War.

01:08:20.720 --> 01:08:27.039
They're all lined up and they're like, All right, fire, and they all fire, and then the front line dies.

01:08:27.520 --> 01:08:29.680
And then they're and then everybody's like loading them.

01:08:31.279 --> 01:08:32.079
They all step up.

01:08:32.239 --> 01:08:33.199
All right, it's your time.

01:08:33.920 --> 01:08:41.039
So it kills like the whole first line, and then George Washington's ass is like, look, I'm gonna go hide in the tree and start sniping people.

01:08:41.119 --> 01:08:43.039
That's how we won the Revolutionary War.

01:08:43.199 --> 01:08:44.479
That's how we became president.

01:08:44.720 --> 01:08:54.159
It's uh I mean, it's just crazy to think how you know, just shoving the you know, the powder down in there and dropping you a little ball in it and shooting people.

01:08:54.239 --> 01:08:55.119
I can't imagine.

01:08:55.359 --> 01:08:56.560
I didn't know you had any interest.

01:08:56.640 --> 01:08:57.439
I'll take you shooting.

01:08:57.600 --> 01:08:58.479
I I'm very interested.

01:08:58.560 --> 01:09:04.479
I've been wanting a gun for since like you know, a year ago at least, which is a long time when you think about it.

01:09:04.720 --> 01:09:06.079
What kind of gun do you want to shoot?

01:09:06.319 --> 01:09:07.199
All of them.

01:09:08.000 --> 01:09:09.279
We'll do a little bit at a time.

01:09:09.359 --> 01:09:13.279
I made the mistake with uh I think it was Rico.

01:09:13.359 --> 01:09:14.000
It might have been Rico.

01:09:14.159 --> 01:09:20.479
I took him to the shooting range, it might have been him, but I just like all right, he's never shot any guns, so I would just load up one of everything.

01:09:21.199 --> 01:09:28.239
So I was like, here's a lever action, here's an AR, here's a different pistol, a revolver, here, here's just all the different guns.

01:09:28.479 --> 01:09:31.119
And then I'm like, I'm carrying this big heavy bag.

01:09:31.359 --> 01:09:36.560
Like, I got these bags, and he's like, Yeah, you aren't one or two is probably fine to yes.

01:09:37.279 --> 01:09:41.439
So I take you know, I take the kids out there from time to time so they know how to shoot.

01:09:41.600 --> 01:09:50.399
I mean, I I would rather teach the kids to understand the guns and respect the guns and know how to use them than for them to be afraid of them.

01:09:50.560 --> 01:09:55.199
That's just I want to teach Zephyr too because she seems pretty scared of guns.

01:09:55.359 --> 01:09:57.840
Not like against them, but I mean I'll tell you who took to it.

01:09:58.000 --> 01:10:04.159
Caitlin, I didn't expect her to be a gun person, but her biggest complaint was she was tired of shooting my guns.

01:10:04.640 --> 01:10:07.680
So one night I got drunk and ordered her her own gun.

01:10:08.000 --> 01:10:09.760
I'm sure that really sucked in the morning.

01:10:09.920 --> 01:10:10.880
And then I forgot about it.

01:10:10.960 --> 01:10:11.199
Yeah.

01:10:11.359 --> 01:10:14.399
And then I got the notification that it was ready for me to pick it up.

01:10:14.720 --> 01:10:17.119
Surprise, I also bought myself a gun at the same time.

01:10:17.359 --> 01:10:18.079
How much was it?

01:10:18.239 --> 01:10:20.319
It was a lot of money for two, for two.

01:10:20.640 --> 01:10:21.600
Guns aren't cheap.

01:10:21.680 --> 01:10:23.840
You know, I wish that I'd I'd cared more.

01:10:24.079 --> 01:10:25.439
Same with the guitars.

01:10:25.840 --> 01:10:29.279
When the old man died, he had guns and he had guitars.

01:10:29.439 --> 01:10:38.319
And I wish that I'd really come through and found me two or three good guitars, and I wish that I knew more about guns so that like all of them wouldn't just be gone.

01:10:38.640 --> 01:10:44.960
I mean, the only the only thing that I got back from all that was a bunch of shitty 22s.

01:10:45.199 --> 01:10:51.760
So basically, the only thing I ended up getting out of all of dad's gun collection was the gun safe, which I almost sold.

01:10:51.920 --> 01:10:59.840
Daniel almost bought it, and I'm real happy that we didn't end up selling it to him because it's one of the best and best things I have is my gun safe, so I can lock everything up.

01:11:00.000 --> 01:11:01.439
How many guns you got in there?

01:11:01.760 --> 01:11:02.479
20 something.

01:11:02.720 --> 01:11:03.600
Good lord.

01:11:04.159 --> 01:11:05.119
How big is it?

01:11:05.279 --> 01:11:06.239
It's a big safe.

01:11:06.399 --> 01:11:12.079
If anything comes down and like something, you know, some kind of shit hits a fan here in Fairview.

01:11:12.159 --> 01:11:13.600
I got all those muskets.

01:11:14.319 --> 01:11:17.039
Yeah, um, excuse me, intruder.

01:11:17.199 --> 01:11:21.279
Um, could you please wait a moment while I while I load my gun?

01:11:21.920 --> 01:11:23.760
You have all the black powder pistols too.

01:11:23.920 --> 01:11:25.920
Yeah, they're all up in there, they're all in the box.

01:11:26.000 --> 01:11:28.239
It's like we can't shoot those at Royal Range.

01:11:28.319 --> 01:11:30.800
We'll have to go to like okay corral unless you know somebody with land.

01:11:31.039 --> 01:11:32.159
So we have to shoot those outside.

01:11:32.239 --> 01:11:33.920
I mean, why would the old man buy that crap?

01:11:34.079 --> 01:11:35.359
He was just into it for fun.

01:11:35.680 --> 01:11:39.199
It was just not for fun because he never shot anything.

01:11:39.520 --> 01:11:42.159
It's fun to look at it, but it looked like guns.

01:11:42.720 --> 01:11:44.880
He just stacked it in his room, they were stacked.

01:11:45.039 --> 01:11:46.479
He was ready for a zombie apocalypse.

01:11:46.720 --> 01:11:48.640
There was so many, and there were so many nice guns.

01:11:48.880 --> 01:11:50.399
We got fucked on that one so bad.

01:11:50.560 --> 01:11:51.119
Yeah.

01:11:51.439 --> 01:11:53.760
And I didn't know as much about guns then as I do now.

01:11:53.840 --> 01:11:56.399
Like I had a couple R I P Nathan for taking them off.

01:11:56.800 --> 01:12:02.159
I had I had a couple guns, um, and and I never really shot them before dad died.

01:12:02.239 --> 01:12:13.439
And and then after he died, and I really started getting into guns, and that was after I was so I was going through the list because you know Nathan inventoried all the guns, but they're not all inventories, probably not.

01:12:13.600 --> 01:12:17.840
And I'm going through this list, and all of them were sold, and we did all this and that.

01:12:17.920 --> 01:12:19.840
And I'm like, man, I wish I hadn't sold that one.

01:12:20.000 --> 01:12:21.359
I wish I hadn't sold that one.

01:12:21.520 --> 01:12:24.720
Like I got like two good guns out of dad's collection.

01:12:24.800 --> 01:12:27.199
They're just a couple Henry um lever action guns.

01:12:27.279 --> 01:12:30.000
So it's not even something that I like I'm gonna use.

01:12:30.079 --> 01:12:32.239
I mean, one that Danny won in.

01:12:32.640 --> 01:12:34.079
I gave Danny one of them.

01:12:34.640 --> 01:12:37.199
I gave him I gave Danny two guns and I regret it.

01:12:37.680 --> 01:12:38.319
Steal them.

01:12:38.720 --> 01:12:46.319
Well, so Jack's been Jack went to Bass Pro Shop and did that, but didn't didn't you don't you like want to go fishing and stuff?

01:12:46.399 --> 01:12:47.199
I do want to go fishing.

01:12:47.439 --> 01:12:49.520
We need to get a John boat or something and go fishing.

01:12:49.680 --> 01:12:50.479
That sounds like a good stuff.

01:12:50.640 --> 01:12:52.560
I'll do it, but I fucking hate fishing.

01:12:52.720 --> 01:12:52.880
Wow.

01:12:53.039 --> 01:12:54.720
You sound really gay right now.

01:12:56.720 --> 01:12:57.920
Why don't why don't you like fishing?

01:12:58.079 --> 01:12:58.399
I don't know.

01:12:58.560 --> 01:13:00.079
I've been fishing like once in my life.

01:13:00.399 --> 01:13:09.039
I feel bad because so Caitlin's brother is really into fishing, and and the boys love it whenever he comes out to the lake, they get to go fishing and they can do shit and they're like, Dad, can we go fishing?

01:13:09.119 --> 01:13:12.000
I'm like, You can have to ask your uncle Ryan because I don't give a shit.

01:13:12.319 --> 01:13:13.840
I hate fishing.

01:13:14.079 --> 01:13:15.920
I maybe from a boat it would be better.

01:13:16.000 --> 01:13:17.920
Maybe if I could drink some beer while I did it, it would be better.

01:13:18.239 --> 01:13:19.039
That's like the whole point.

01:13:19.199 --> 01:13:19.840
I mean, I don't do that.

01:13:20.159 --> 01:13:24.720
I mean fucking just sit there on the on the shore, just yeah, doing it in a boat, like get a John boat.

01:13:24.800 --> 01:13:26.479
Because look, we can't afford a boat.

01:13:26.640 --> 01:13:29.680
I know we talk about a boat all the time, we do, we, but we can't afford it.

01:13:29.840 --> 01:13:36.479
What we can afford is probably some cheap little John boat that we can get and put a few people in there and go out and do it.

01:13:36.800 --> 01:13:39.439
So where can you buy your vape?

01:13:39.760 --> 01:13:43.279
Where can you buy John John boats at Amazon?

01:13:43.600 --> 01:13:44.079
Facebook?

01:13:44.479 --> 01:13:45.920
Yeah, I guess you could actually buy it.

01:13:46.079 --> 01:13:51.840
I mean, I look at but I look at boats on Facebook almost every day, and I'd give that guy from Amazon a tip if he delivered me a boat.

01:13:52.159 --> 01:13:58.319
When we went to Bass Pro, me and my friend Johnny, we just sat there for like 30 minutes all looking at these$40,000 boats.

01:13:58.479 --> 01:14:01.279
We're like, Yeah, I could I could ride this, I could fish on this thing.

01:14:01.600 --> 01:14:12.239
I mean, so Caitlin's parents had used to have a jet ski and a pontoon boat, and we would go out all the time and eventually they got rid of the pontoon boat and they just got a little a little speed boat, speed boat.

01:14:12.319 --> 01:14:13.600
It's not it goes like 35 miles.

01:14:13.680 --> 01:14:14.399
I guess that's fast.

01:14:14.479 --> 01:14:16.319
I actually don't know what's considered fast on the water.

01:14:16.479 --> 01:14:17.840
35 miles an hour seems to be a big thing.

01:14:18.079 --> 01:14:18.640
Sounds pretty fast.

01:14:18.720 --> 01:14:19.199
Yeah, yeah.

01:14:19.279 --> 01:14:19.840
35 miles.

01:14:20.000 --> 01:14:28.000
Well, they got it so they could pull the pull people better, and that's fine, but like it's not like I get to go out there and just drive it.

01:14:28.159 --> 01:14:34.800
Yeah, like I'm just a passenger, and I want I want to be in control, but I don't want to be like, hey Ronnie, why don't you let me drive this thing?

01:14:34.960 --> 01:14:36.960
No, you don't drive another man's boat, exactly.

01:14:37.119 --> 01:14:39.680
But also the last time we went out and we went and his.

01:14:40.239 --> 01:14:43.039
You can ride in another man's boat, but you don't drive it.

01:14:43.119 --> 01:14:45.439
You don't ask if they invite you, correct?

01:14:45.680 --> 01:14:46.960
You could yeah, it's okay.

01:14:47.119 --> 01:14:55.359
So the last time we went out, and this boat, which is more of a type of boat that I thought I would like to have, it's just too much work.

01:14:56.000 --> 01:14:59.920
To what to take it out, drop it in, to get it out.

01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:00.800
You gotta clean it.

01:15:01.279 --> 01:15:02.720
Yeah, that's why you just go rent one.

01:15:02.800 --> 01:15:03.520
You just go rent a boat.

01:15:03.760 --> 01:15:04.399
But where do you last?

01:15:04.560 --> 01:15:06.800
I mean, what you just go rent that giant pontoon boat on personal.

01:15:07.199 --> 01:15:13.680
There's there's other places like if you go to Florida or something, there's one on every corner you can people are gonna yell at us about our boat lack of boat knowledge.

01:15:13.760 --> 01:15:16.720
Yeah, that's probably and your dislike of fishing.

01:15:16.960 --> 01:15:17.279
I do.

01:15:17.359 --> 01:15:18.720
I and I I hate that I hate fish.

01:15:18.880 --> 01:15:20.159
I don't hunt, I've never been hunting either.

01:15:20.479 --> 01:15:20.960
I haven't either.

01:15:21.199 --> 01:15:22.319
Jimmy gives me a lot of shit about that.

01:15:22.399 --> 01:15:23.680
He's like, What do you mean you've never been hunting?

01:15:23.760 --> 01:15:24.159
You're from here.

01:15:24.239 --> 01:15:25.760
I've just I've never hunted either.

01:15:25.920 --> 01:15:30.720
I remember when I was like eight years old, I shot a robin off the birdbath with my BB gun, and I felt bad.

01:15:30.800 --> 01:15:32.479
Uh to this day, I still feel bad about it.

01:15:32.800 --> 01:15:33.119
You should.

01:15:33.199 --> 01:15:33.680
That's horrible.

01:15:33.840 --> 01:15:34.399
I know, right?

01:15:34.560 --> 01:15:37.279
So I just I just know that shooting an animal is just not for me.

01:15:37.439 --> 01:15:43.039
Yeah, I'm not into killing animals, but fishing, you just take it out, look at it, be like, Yeah, I caught that and throw it back in.

01:15:43.279 --> 01:15:46.319
Well, I wanna I wanna do I want to do the whole process.

01:15:46.399 --> 01:15:50.159
I wanna that's why you get a John boat, they're a little bit easier to manage, and you can go out.

01:15:50.560 --> 01:15:52.079
Like the boat that we floated the harpeth in.

01:15:52.159 --> 01:15:54.239
Yeah, and you could take it out to Montgomery Bell.

01:15:54.399 --> 01:15:58.319
Jack could take you could actually pull a John boat with that uh equinox.

01:15:58.399 --> 01:16:03.119
He could take it to Montgomery Bell, get it out on the water, catch you a couple fish.

01:16:03.600 --> 01:16:10.239
I want to take the fish home and clean them up and cook them, and then sit there and have the meal and know that I did all of that.

01:16:10.399 --> 01:16:19.680
Because what's a shame about us and a lot of people that we know is like if some if if it all went down, I'd be screwed.

01:16:19.760 --> 01:16:21.920
I don't know how to do any of those man things.

01:16:22.159 --> 01:16:23.039
Never been hunting.

01:16:23.199 --> 01:16:23.439
What?

01:16:23.760 --> 01:16:24.640
Never really been fishing.

01:16:24.800 --> 01:16:26.159
I mean, I know how to shoot a gun.

01:16:26.319 --> 01:16:28.960
Yeah, but how are you gonna like I have no idea?

01:16:29.039 --> 01:16:29.840
I have a crossbow.

01:16:31.760 --> 01:16:32.880
He's got a crossbow too.

01:16:33.119 --> 01:16:34.000
I've got a regular bow too.

01:16:34.479 --> 01:16:35.840
So you have a crossbow target.

01:16:36.159 --> 01:16:38.159
Uh I know I have a target for a regular bow.

01:16:38.239 --> 01:16:39.119
I don't know if there's a difference.

01:16:39.279 --> 01:16:39.920
There is a difference.

01:16:40.079 --> 01:16:42.880
I I when I got my crossbow, I was like, I've only shot it once.

01:16:42.960 --> 01:16:43.680
I was like, this is awesome.

01:16:43.760 --> 01:16:44.880
So I went out in the backyard.

01:16:44.960 --> 01:16:53.439
I was at the I was at the entrance to the the sunroom and I aimed at a tree about 30 yards away, and I and uh and I let go and that arrow is still in that tree to this day.

01:16:53.840 --> 01:16:55.279
Oh my gosh, I can't get it out.

01:16:55.520 --> 01:16:59.199
Yeah, what are what is uh what is the difference in the crossbow?

01:16:59.279 --> 01:17:01.920
Is it make it where it's easier to pull it out or something?

01:17:02.159 --> 01:17:03.359
Like a crossbow target.

01:17:03.520 --> 01:17:08.159
Um, well, if you shoot a my understanding, if you shoot like a regular target, it's just gonna go through it.

01:17:08.239 --> 01:17:12.159
Yeah, because the the feet per second is so fast from a crossbow.

01:17:12.319 --> 01:17:14.159
So you have to get the the crossbow targets.

01:17:14.239 --> 01:17:17.039
I was gonna buy one, they were like 70 bucks, they're just real heavy.

01:17:17.119 --> 01:17:19.279
Yeah, and it can take that, it can take that punishment.

01:17:19.520 --> 01:17:26.239
I just want it the reason I wanted the crossbows because I can't just go out in my backyard and just start letting rounds go because I live in Davidson County.

01:17:26.560 --> 01:17:30.239
Crossbow is the same as us having those damn uh gunpowder things.

01:17:30.319 --> 01:17:32.880
You get the gunpowder gun, you still gotta load it up.

01:17:33.119 --> 01:17:35.840
I know, but I can go in my backyard and target practice.

01:17:36.000 --> 01:17:39.199
You can't be like, excuse me, intruder, one moment, please.

01:17:39.439 --> 01:17:42.560
Well no, that's why I have real guns in the house.

01:17:43.600 --> 01:17:45.840
Yeah, I mean, yeah, you can have guns.

01:17:45.920 --> 01:17:48.159
I am not worried about intruders into my home.

01:17:48.239 --> 01:17:50.720
Yeah, you should be worried about intruders into your home.

01:17:50.800 --> 01:17:51.199
Why?

01:17:51.359 --> 01:17:53.840
Because you have black powder, yes.

01:17:54.560 --> 01:17:57.439
And you do you know how to load them?

01:17:57.600 --> 01:17:59.119
No, I don't know how to do any of that.

01:17:59.279 --> 01:18:00.720
We don't have black powder either.

01:18:01.119 --> 01:18:02.399
I guess you gotta go buy black powder.

01:18:02.560 --> 01:18:04.319
Me and Johnny were looking for some of Bass Pro.

01:18:04.880 --> 01:18:07.920
That's is they have big, big containers of it and shooting.

01:18:08.159 --> 01:18:09.359
No, those are 44s.

01:18:09.520 --> 01:18:12.159
They only have like 45s and 50 kels or whatever.

01:18:13.439 --> 01:18:15.199
You really you really want to shoot a gun.

01:18:15.439 --> 01:18:16.720
I want to shoot those.

01:18:17.359 --> 01:18:20.560
I think it'd be good if you take him to take him shooting.

01:18:20.880 --> 01:18:25.279
Because I I I I lack as a father in those types of situations because I don't know anything about it.

01:18:25.359 --> 01:18:26.000
It'd probably be so much more than a lot of things.

01:18:26.239 --> 01:18:30.720
I waited until I took because you can take kids to Royal Range when they're 10.

01:18:30.960 --> 01:18:31.600
Well, I'm 18.

01:18:31.680 --> 01:18:35.520
So on like on Oliver's 10th birthday, that's what we did.

01:18:35.760 --> 01:18:36.720
I made the mistake.

01:18:36.880 --> 01:18:42.800
So, you know, obviously Sam is much larger than Oliver, even at 10, he was much larger.

01:18:42.960 --> 01:18:43.199
Yeah.

01:18:43.359 --> 01:18:47.920
So like the Henry rifle that I taught Sam on is real heavy and real big.

01:18:48.159 --> 01:18:50.000
And so it was fine for Sam.

01:18:50.079 --> 01:18:55.119
Then I let him shoot the the AR, and he no longer has any interest in shooting the the lever action.

01:18:55.359 --> 01:18:58.720
Well, I don't I don't want it to become like you ain't trying to be a gangster.

01:18:59.199 --> 01:19:02.640
No, but then but then I took Oliver when he turned 10, he couldn't pick that thing up.

01:19:02.720 --> 01:19:06.000
He's like sitting there and he can't he can't hold it up.

01:19:06.159 --> 01:19:06.880
He's like this.

01:19:07.119 --> 01:19:09.600
I'm like, yeah, he's gonna shoot, he's gonna shoot the wrong direction.

01:19:09.760 --> 01:19:10.800
You gotta be responsible.

01:19:10.960 --> 01:19:13.760
You can't just go out like capping people or anything like that.

01:19:14.239 --> 01:19:16.000
That's like it can't carry for a few more years.

01:19:16.079 --> 01:19:18.399
So I think yeah, you gotta be 21 to carry.

01:19:18.560 --> 01:19:18.960
Yeah.

01:19:19.680 --> 01:19:22.640
But you can, yes, you can go and learn how to shoot and do all that.

01:19:22.960 --> 01:19:23.439
Yeah, I'll take you.

01:19:23.520 --> 01:19:23.840
I'll teach you.

01:19:24.000 --> 01:19:24.319
Hell yeah.

01:19:24.399 --> 01:19:24.640
I love it.

01:19:24.720 --> 01:19:26.800
I tell I love taking people who never shot guns before.

01:19:26.880 --> 01:19:27.760
It's like my favorite thing.

01:19:27.840 --> 01:19:28.800
So I took Rico.

01:19:29.119 --> 01:19:40.960
Man, Rico, he goes out there and he AR 30 rounds, sends the target down, takes one shot, brings the target all the way back because he wants to see where he hit, and then he'll send the target all the way back out.

01:19:41.039 --> 01:19:42.079
One shot, bring the target on.

01:19:42.560 --> 01:19:43.279
Automatic AR, too.

01:19:43.359 --> 01:19:45.840
It's not an automatic, you can't, it's semi, but same thing.

01:19:46.000 --> 01:19:48.399
You got 30 rounds, just let the 30 round, just just have fun.

01:19:48.479 --> 01:19:49.359
No, he wants to see.

01:19:49.439 --> 01:19:51.199
He wants to see exactly where it hits every time.

01:19:51.359 --> 01:19:52.319
Is he a good shot?

01:19:52.479 --> 01:19:53.119
He's pretty good.

01:19:53.199 --> 01:19:53.760
He's all right.

01:19:54.079 --> 01:19:55.039
I bet I'm better.

01:19:55.439 --> 01:19:56.159
We'll find out.

01:19:56.399 --> 01:19:56.880
Probably not.

01:19:57.039 --> 01:20:02.399
Yeah, maybe maybe we can make a trip, have Eli because Eli probably show us all up on it.

01:20:02.560 --> 01:20:06.399
Yeah, I can take one of you as a guest, and everybody else has to pay the the$10.

01:20:07.119 --> 01:20:07.760
I got a couple gifts.

01:20:08.239 --> 01:20:10.640
I'm broke, so you're gonna take me as a guest.

01:20:10.880 --> 01:20:19.520
I've got gift certificates that we've gotten for Christmas uh from Nikki's dad, which haven't been for Royal Range, so we could go and you have gift certificates for Royal Range?

01:20:19.600 --> 01:20:22.720
Yeah, I feel like I've gotten them like every Christmas at the last like five years.

01:20:22.960 --> 01:20:24.479
Everybody's always like, What do you want for Christmas?

01:20:24.640 --> 01:20:30.800
I'm like, I just want shit that I can shoot, you know, and nobody they will give me, and and I and I appreciate it.

01:20:30.880 --> 01:20:35.119
But my father-in-law every year for Christmas Christmas gives me 50 rounds of non-millimeter.

01:20:35.600 --> 01:20:38.239
And so one the first time I took him shooting, he showed up.

01:20:38.319 --> 01:20:39.760
He's like, All right, I'm gonna stop at Academy.

01:20:39.840 --> 01:20:41.039
I'm gonna get some I'm gonna get some ammo.

01:20:41.119 --> 01:20:43.760
I'm like, that'll be good because I'm tired of buying all the ammo.

01:20:43.920 --> 01:20:45.439
He shows up with one box of 50.

01:20:45.520 --> 01:20:46.800
He's like, All right, I'm ready to go.

01:20:46.960 --> 01:20:49.199
I'm like, that's gonna last to like five minutes, man.

01:20:49.279 --> 01:20:51.119
Yeah, we need like 200 rounds.

01:20:51.199 --> 01:20:51.840
Yeah.

01:20:52.479 --> 01:20:53.039
All right.

01:20:53.199 --> 01:20:55.760
Well, what anything else before we wrap it up?

01:20:55.840 --> 01:20:57.840
We've taught look, here's what we've covered today.

01:20:58.000 --> 01:21:01.840
We've covered death, almost death.

01:21:02.319 --> 01:21:03.760
Nathan doing drugs.

01:21:04.159 --> 01:21:05.279
He's gonna hold on to the Nathan.

01:21:05.520 --> 01:21:06.560
Oh, yeah, Jack's Revelation.

01:21:06.640 --> 01:21:09.279
Nathan had no idea, but it wasn't like he was he was a drug.

01:21:09.840 --> 01:21:10.880
It's not like he was a meth head.

01:21:11.039 --> 01:21:12.560
Okay, well, I I wasn't sure.

01:21:12.720 --> 01:21:13.840
He liked pills and some weed.

01:21:14.079 --> 01:21:16.079
That's nothing wrong with what kind of pills are we talking there?

01:21:16.399 --> 01:21:17.359
Probably oxies.

01:21:18.960 --> 01:21:21.279
You know, all of dad's medicine he had when he broke his legs.

01:21:22.079 --> 01:21:26.319
Those people out there at Rockwood, they like their they like their percocets and stuff like that for sure.

01:21:26.479 --> 01:21:27.760
Nathan was always talking about that.

01:21:27.920 --> 01:21:29.680
Maybe Nathan wanted to be the next Walter White.

01:21:29.920 --> 01:21:32.399
So we talked we talked about Nathan.

01:21:32.479 --> 01:21:33.840
So RIP Nathan.

01:21:34.159 --> 01:21:36.720
This was uh we'll give this month to you.

01:21:36.960 --> 01:21:39.279
Freeman H had September, you got October.

01:21:39.600 --> 01:21:40.640
Breast cancer awareness?

01:21:40.720 --> 01:21:42.079
Nah, it's Nathan Hollismorth.

01:21:42.319 --> 01:21:45.199
Yeah, she will be November, so we can do it.

01:21:45.359 --> 01:21:45.840
We can do one.

01:21:46.159 --> 01:21:48.000
Oh shit, we're gonna do a mom podcast too.

01:21:48.239 --> 01:21:49.279
Yeah, so we got three.

01:21:49.359 --> 01:21:52.479
It's like the trilogy for us September, October, November.

01:21:52.560 --> 01:22:00.079
And that's the that's the and then when I die, you can carry on the Fairview Social podcast and do one for for my month.

01:22:00.399 --> 01:22:02.800
But um, yeah, we went what else?

01:22:02.960 --> 01:22:07.359
We talked about Jack wanting to shoot guns and LSI gay.

01:22:07.840 --> 01:22:11.359
Talking about how he's gay and people want him gay at work.

01:22:11.840 --> 01:22:12.640
We accept you.

01:22:12.720 --> 01:22:13.439
That's all we talk about.

01:22:13.840 --> 01:22:16.159
I think that Jack's hair is longer than yours.

01:22:16.319 --> 01:22:17.119
Yeah, maybe.

01:22:17.359 --> 01:22:20.399
So, in summary, oh yeah, we talked about tipping.

01:22:20.960 --> 01:22:23.119
That was a a heavy topic there.

01:22:23.199 --> 01:22:24.239
A top topic.

01:22:24.640 --> 01:22:26.000
Yeah, what chunky porn?

01:22:26.159 --> 01:22:26.960
It took a while.

01:22:27.199 --> 01:22:28.159
Yeah, that's true.

01:22:28.319 --> 01:22:29.039
It was a good topic.

01:22:29.199 --> 01:22:30.399
I thought you said chunky porn.

01:22:30.479 --> 01:22:31.680
I'm like, what are we talking about here?

01:22:31.920 --> 01:22:34.319
I don't think you we're thinking the same things, man.

01:22:34.560 --> 01:22:35.520
But we'll wrap it up.

01:22:35.600 --> 01:22:36.960
Jack, thank you for joining me.

01:22:37.199 --> 01:22:38.880
Of course, I'll be back eventually.

01:22:39.199 --> 01:22:42.079
Joseph, I'll guess thank you for coming too.

01:22:42.319 --> 01:22:44.000
You're fat wearing the same clothes.

01:22:44.079 --> 01:22:46.880
Yeah, he is he is a meatball.

01:22:47.680 --> 01:22:48.720
A meatball tester.

01:22:49.279 --> 01:22:50.960
I love the spaghetti o meatballs.

01:22:51.760 --> 01:22:52.960
We got some spaghettios, dude.

01:22:53.119 --> 01:22:53.760
Goodbye.
