Speaker 2:Remy was over there trying to get in the basement to look at the. He wants to do that, like the drain down there. Like I remember I told you, I want to put that back flow for the basement to look at the. He wants to do that like the drain down there. Like I remember I told you I want to put that back flow for the basement. Yeah, and he's like I'm here, I need to get in the basement. I'm like, well, I'm not gonna. I'm, I'm in the middle, I'm getting ready to go on air. I don't know what to tell you. He said he had to come, like look at it, and he was gonna do it monday. So I I didn't think he was doing anything today, but I don't know who knows. But at any rate, I might have my basement backflow put on there. That would be nice. I really want that backflow on there.
Speaker 2:I was looking at, I was watching Joe Rogan podcast. He was bitching or whatever, and I was watching Joe Rogan podcast. He was bitching or whatever, and I was watching it and you know we move the mics around all the time. You know we got these boom arms, we got the rubber bands, we got all this stuff that's supposed to stop the noise, but yet every time you move it or touch it, it all comes through the noise. I was watching him. He's moving his around everywhere, no noise at all. He's moving around right while he's talking. I'm sure he's got an air. Yeah, we got to figure our shit out. It's his bullshit. It's his bullshit.
Speaker 1:They said bullshit. But uh, what about that olympic stuff? You've been watching any of that? No, I haven't watched nothing on the o. He didn't catch the clips, or nothing.
Speaker 2:Not really. No, oh my God, not a whole lot. I seen Steph Curry going off About what? No, like he was just dropping threes. They couldn't stop him. They were in a gold medal game. They were like double teaming him and it didn't even matter, he was just dropping them. He was dude, he was just killing it and I mean it was a close game. It was a close game and he's like I think they were only within six with two minutes and all of a sudden he just started throwing the daggers out there, just choop, choop. That dude was bad man. They couldn't stop him. Man, nobody could stop him, didn't matter what they did. He was just at one point. He's got two guys draped on him and he just jumps up and shoots his little jump shot from the three-point and just buries it. It was crazy, but that's the only thing I've seen. Why Was there something else?
Speaker 1:Well, you got just them stupid clips. That's funny.
Speaker 2:I sent you some of them. I seen one with the one runner came back from behind. I saw that. Oh that, yeah, I seen that I didn't see no funny ones really.
Speaker 1:About to do what got his shit caught on the bar.
Speaker 2:Oh fuck, I forgot about that. That was early in the week. Yeah, you're right, holy shit. Yeah, mr Big Package Frickin' loses because his frickin' junk hangs up on a bar. I forgot all about that. Yeah, jesus. Yeah, that was pretty good. I was trying to get it out of my memory.
Speaker 1:after I seen that fuckin' thing, You're like what the fuck.
Speaker 2:I looked at Amanda. I was like I will probably do that too.
Speaker 1:That's how I lost Right right Mine will probably do that too.
Speaker 2:That's how I lost. We went out for our anniversary last night. We ended up going to the casino is what we ended up doing. So took 500 bucks, went to the casino, left with 1,500 and call it good. Oh yeah, that's the way you do it. Yeah,500 and call it good. Oh yeah, that's the way you do it. Yeah, we came up pretty good. Amanda goes wow, there's these machines. They always hit right here in one smoking section.
Speaker 1:It's just these three machines. That's where I go to, yeah.
Speaker 2:And I go into those three machines with her. I sit down, she sits down, she hit like $450. I hit like $1,100. We're with her. I sit down, she sits down, she hit like 450, I hit like 1100. We're good. Then that joe was there. So I ended up bullshitting with joe for a while. Kind of amanda was kind of getting mad because it's our anniversary and I'm sitting there bullshitting with joe, talking bullshitting for no reason. But that's the first time I went to the casino with her. She always just goes with Amber all the time and I never really go because I get out of hand. Yeah, typically, you know what I mean. I don't just go in and go, I just freaking, keep spending and spending. It says right here on it. It says on my Facebook page this content isn't available right now. What the fuck is that I'm telling?
Speaker 2:you, I ain't getting it, but I can click on it, you still can't see it anywhere. Nope, hold on, I'm trying something right now.
Speaker 1:But you getting any feedback from anybody as far as Anybody talking About.
Speaker 2:We got viewers. Oh no, amanda did. That was it. She said the link didn't work but that she was watching. She went and found it on YouTube. She said that's the only thing I got on the chat so far. That does say we got three viewers, but I don't know why only three. I don't know what the hell's going on. But when I look at it it says this content isn't available right now.
Speaker 1:I ain't getting it. I see what you're talking about. We got three viewers.
Speaker 2:Well, how do you see it then, if you?
Speaker 1:ain't seeing it. I don't think this is the right one.
Speaker 2:Let me see it. It's not. It's not the right one. No, absolutely not. How can that be? Let me go look the right one. No, absolutely not?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just clicked on it. How can that be? It's us.
Speaker 2:I'm clicking on it, it's working. I don't know. This is not the way we should start a show. I'm just saying Technical difficulty, technical difficulties. This is all because I'm trying to put it on YouTube instead of doing it on the damn Facebook Live. It doesn't really much matter, but I mean, somebody's watching somewhere and it's recording it, so we're good. Yeah, the Olympic bar guy. That's the best way to lose ever, right? Oh yeah, he's a legend.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if you're going to lose.
Speaker 2:That's the way you want to lose. I lost because my dick was just way too big. If it wasn't for my dick, you'd think he was like chubbed up, and that's why he freaking did that.
Speaker 1:Like normally he would have cleared it, but the excitement had him all worked up and he just like I don't think it would, I was like damn. So there's all kinds of stuff on that. You know the little clips and shit, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:It's hilarious, yeah. And then the best part about that was I was watching the one and they were showing like the the meddling, and they were like the commentators, as they don't even bring it up like they don't even like they stayed away from yeah. Like they don't even know it happened. Like, yeah, just ignore that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he bumped the bar, that's all. Yeah, he bumped the bar. That was funny shit.
Speaker 2:I think that they should just have, like Barkley and Shaq, like do all the Olympic, like all the events, because, dude, do you know what the commentating would have been if it would have been them? Oh my God, they would have both just jumped up and started laughing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he should get the gold.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's a gold winner for sure.
Speaker 1:Remember that there's a guy and he sounds like a commentator but he's like oh wait, fuck, did you see? You know that guy.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh, that guy would be great on that.
Speaker 2:That would have been hilarious. If they bring it up, these guys act like it didn't even happen.
Speaker 1:Right, right, they're just.
Speaker 2:What was that? I don't know what happened. He bumped it somehow, right right. How did he bump it? That one girl is beautiful, the one that's doing the high jump. Oh my God. Oh the pretty eyes.
Speaker 1:Oh, real pretty eyes it almost looks like AI kind of thing, but it's not, though I was going to say I mean, it's not, that's actually her.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she's beautiful. And then, like Amanda, I'm like look at how beautiful this high jumper is and she goes eh, she's all right. I'm like get the fuck out of here. She's definitely full of shit on that one she should be jealous.
Speaker 1:You'll never get around that girl.
Speaker 2:No, yeah, I mean she's beautiful. That's those eyes, though.
Speaker 1:It's probably what it is, more than anything. It's just the eyes there's a couple beautiful girls.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, I mean, yeah, they're all young. Right right At 50 years old. You see, young, that's beautiful. I mean we miss being young. No, there's some girls that ain't that beautiful.
Speaker 2:And there's some. But I think I've always wanted like. I always think about that Like, because when I was 20 years old it didn't seem like there was that many beautiful girls at 20 years old. But when you look at 20 and 22-year-olds now, they look beautiful All of them, it seems like, or most of them, and I don't remember it being that way when I was 20, 22.
Speaker 1:So I'm like thinking, maybe just because you're older? It's just like no, because I look at some young girls and I'm like damn, you're hit.
Speaker 2:Well, some of them are hit. I'm talking about, yeah, the average, the average Joe. I'm just saying I don't remember seeing like it seems like every 22-year-old is in good shape or whatever. You know what I mean Not everyone.
Speaker 1:But you ever see like a pretty girl, and then you get to know her and you're like she's not pretty at all.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's, and there's there's girls that I didn't think were were pretty Right, and I got to know them and I thought they were you know gorgeous. Yeah, it's just, oh yeah, personality's everything.
Speaker 1:I mean that's when you're younger. You probably don't. I think I always looked at personality. Yeah, I think so. So how's that girl in the Olympics with the pretty eyes? How's her personality? I have no idea.
Speaker 2:Proved you wrong there. I mean, she's obviously a hard worker. She made it to the Olympics. Yeah, you're right, that's why.
Speaker 1:I feel so bad about the girls that they're letting the guys in that bullshit. Oh, yeah, because they've worked so hard for that man. God, can you imagine that I have no dedication to nothing?
Speaker 2:No, I get. Yeah, that's crazy what they do.
Speaker 1:Yeah. I'm like damn that dedicating your life to something and then just somebody just taking it from you, like that, and everybody just seems like it's okay, I'm wow, that's crazy, yeah, like that.
Speaker 2:You're crazy for even suggesting like that.
Speaker 1:That's, that's a whole. It's okay for a man to beat up a girl in the ring yeah, I mean not like it.
Speaker 2:You know you can't beat up your wife or nothing right, you know what I mean. But you can go in the ring and fight him. Fuck it, you know I mean somebody you don't know.
Speaker 1:Ain't got nothing against just going to beat the shit out of them, right?
Speaker 2:and that's the. What about all this kamala harris shit? Oh my god, I don't. I is it true, like is. Is it all fake? Like all the shit fake that she's doing?
Speaker 1:what are you talking about? These crowds oh yeah, I've seen it where they just kind of fake the crowd they're ai.
Speaker 2:They're saying like yeah, and I think I tend to believe them. They show the one picture. They're like zooming in.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and there's like a line of guys right beside like the line and shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, there's that going on, yeah, and their faces are distorted.
Speaker 1:Right, right right.
Speaker 2:And then the other one is like they have like the reflection of the airplane. It shows an empty tarmac, like you can see the whole empty-ass tarmac with like two people on it, but there's a whole crowd standing in front of this tarmac. Wow, and it's like what in the hell? I mean, I just don't, I can't believe it. And then they asked Trump about it at the one interview and he's like he just goes. Really, that's what you're asking me about. Am I nervous about the crowd she's getting? She gets 2, people and you guys act like she has some huge crowd.
Speaker 1:If I had 2 000 people you'd be like, oh, he's falling off, he's falling off.
Speaker 2:You know, I mean it's. It's crazy like I and they're just trying to push that narrative and that's you try to figure out, like why, you know, why are they trying to push that narrative? And it's like the only thing I could think is if they rigged the election, they could could say no, remember, she had all them big crowds and all you know what I'm saying. Like I don't understand it. I don't see who anybody that would vote for Kamala Harris. I just can't see it. Why would you and her whole, like every interview that she's or not interview? She won't do an interview at all. She refuses to do any interview, but she every speech that she's given, she's not saying anything other than I think the one thing she did say is she's going to get the prices down by going after the big corporations for price like what, and then I don't know how true it, but I saw a clip where she said she was going to get rid of the tax on tips, and it's like that's Trump's idea.
Speaker 2:Trump's the one who come up with that. What the hell are you talking about? But yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't know man, it's just crazy. I don't think. I wish we just had more, more candidates more choices yeah well, you didn't have a choice with this one.
Speaker 2:You know that that's the thing you. You got to realize. Like kamala harris was, never, ever, has she ever been voted in for anything as vp. She was appointed. You see what I'm saying, like your, your, your president gets you know he gets the vote and he appoints a VP, usually well after he's already got the nomination for that.
Speaker 2:For that party they picked their VP, so she was appointed that position as the VP for him. And now they've just appointed her because they did no primary. The Democratic Party did no primary. Biden's on the ticket, end of story. Then drop him out and throw Kamala on there.
Speaker 1:She's never been nominated, ever at any point, Then everybody's saying that oh, Trump's scared to debate her. I'm like, if you prepare for a year for somebody else and he drops out and somebody else is put in there, you need a little time to prepare for her.
Speaker 2:He's given three dates that he'll debate her on.
Speaker 1:Well, they're saying that a couple weeks ago.
Speaker 2:Because, no, what she was trying to do was what she did, was she wanted to take Joe Biden's spot, that he had a debate planned with Joe Biden Right and that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:You're planning on debating that person and you're going to throw somebody else in there. How are you going to be prepared for that? You can't.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and that was, and not only that, it was like it's just the venue, because it's like who's doing it, like who's putting it on? I think it was. That one was ABC, I believe I want to say it's ABC was who he was supposed to debate it with, was on ABC, so, and I think that he's not against that ABC or NBC, but you know, he might change the terms if he's got to debate Kamala, right.
Speaker 2:You know, what I mean, like just because if you're because he could debate Joe Biden in his sleep, the guys, the guy will be asleep Most of the most of the debate. You know what I mean. But Kamala, I mean he wants to make sure that he's going to be able to respond to her when she says stupid shit, which is, I mean, that's the problem. They wanted the last debate. They tried to set it up where you were just shut down. They were shutting the mics off, remember? Yeah, that's crazy, like that's just that. I mean I, I almost get it a little bit, because trump will not stop. That motherfucker won't stop. He won't, dude, he won't. He will just keep going like fuck this you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:I don't know, but I mean it, that I don't think that I that was just her way of like, that was just their way of saying, of saying there's no way he's afraid of her, not even a little bit.
Speaker 1:He would own her.
Speaker 2:She doesn't have any policy. She can't stand. The problem with Kamala Harris is she has no policies. She has no success. Like nothing that she's done has been like successful. She has no success at anything she's done. She was the worst VP by everybody's standards. The absolute worst VP. Everybody said Absolute worst. You never even heard about her. She just disappeared for four years.
Speaker 1:I don't think she agreed with anything Biden was doing. She just turned her back on everything.
Speaker 2:I don't even think she cared. I think she was just getting her nails done or something. I don't know what she was doing like she.
Speaker 1:Just I don't even back on everything.
Speaker 2:I don't even think she cared. I think she was just getting her nails done or something. I don't know what she was doing, but she's not. It's not, uh, she just wasn't. There's no way that did well, the border thing. Remember, she was in charge of the border, they said, but she never went down there right, she didn't do anything, she didn't go down there yeah, it was out of her mouth, and now they're trying to say she wasn't in charge of it.
Speaker 2:I mean, she has literally done zero at any point and she's done nothing to. She's done nothing. She has nothing to stand by. She has no. There's no. It's almost like you, though. There's nothing to defend, because you didn't do anything. On what, like when you said you know you don't ever mess up here, or whatever I don't Because you don't do anything. It's the same thing.
Speaker 1:That's what she's going to run with, but I'm the best.
Speaker 2:I don't think anybody's buying her bullshit though.
Speaker 1:I really don't think they are. At first people were just doing it because she was a woman, black, and then they was like I'll just jump in.
Speaker 2:I think everybody got excited for a minute.
Speaker 1:And then they started looking into that person, which is not really that good.
Speaker 2:Well, she's given all these like speeches and none of the speeches.
Speaker 1:First of all, they're exactly the same. Have you seen that? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:They're showing like she's in one like the state by state. They they're showing like she's in one like the state by state. They're showing them side by side. It's the exact same exact.
Speaker 1:I hope she stops saying that little quote and her laugh is starting to tone down. They must have told her said your little, crackly little laugh is not working, stop it. And then you know stuff like that, yeah. I guess I don't know she's, she's, I don't know she's she's too much for me and you know they're over exaggerating the, the black and the indian thing what that trump said, that you mean no well, other people.
Speaker 1:There's all kinds of clips where she says she's black and then she says she's indian you know I mean, yeah, but that's because trump goes.
Speaker 2:I didn't even know she was black at that one thing, that's what started all that right, but that's, they're goes. I didn't even know she was black at that one thing, that's what started all that Right, but they're over to do that they're like how dare you not say she's African-American. It's like, first of all, she's never African-American because her father was Jamaican. Never in Africa ever so. Black, yes, half black, but not African-American at all. Jamaican but not African-American whatsoever.
Speaker 1:Well, she made so many greens, she had to make them in the bathtub.
Speaker 2:You know what I thought about it. I thought about this. This is what I thought about. You know what Trump should do at the debate. This is what I would do. If you're black, I challenge you to a game of talk. I bet that bitch ain't never played talk. I bet she ain't played Tonk. You think she's played Tonk? Hell, no, no, I bet you she ain't have you Tonk. I grew up on Tonk. You got to remember I had black stepdad. That's all they did when I was a kid.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:They would all get together at the table, sit and play Tonk all night. They'd even gamble quarters or something, whatever. Nothing big, but yeah, hell, yeah, Tonk was I mean.
Speaker 1:But yeah, they're exaggerating that a little bit.
Speaker 2:It's a fact that she's not black, no, like I said, if I was Trump, I swear to God that's how I would do it. And you know what?
Speaker 1:Why would you?
Speaker 2:do that. I would. Why it's so minute? Because real black people would respect it. And I don't even think Kamala Harris knows what Tonk is. Honestly, that's the truth. That would be the most lightweight behind-the-back type deal that you could do to shut that all down. That's it right there, Because she probably don't even know what Tonk is. Honestly, I swear to God.
Speaker 1:But that doesn't matter. Growing up in an Indian culture in Canada, she don't know what Tonk is.
Speaker 2:honestly, I swear to God, but that doesn't matter. Growing up in Indian culture in Canada, she don't know what Tonk is. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1:Well, everybody knows that it's like. You don't have to prove it. She's not. No right, she's not. African-american, but that's what she's trying to get like coming across or whatever Right, that's that big scam that they're always doing Just to be real. You know what She'd probably win if she was just a real person like being honest and true.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying? Yeah, but the problem with her is like she's that total liberal, that like is too far, like she wants to go like no fracking, no, you know, no gas cars at all, all electric and I mean just all these different things that just people are sick of. Basically, I mean everybody's sick and tired of this like.
Speaker 1:That electric car I've been saying from the get-go is not going to work right now.
Speaker 2:Well, the problem is they're just like reach down in your pocketbook. You know, that's like I was talking to Little Ant. He said that, like a lot of lines out there in Kentucky they're not even getting 40 hours right now. They're like, because they're just not, the cars aren't going out, they're not selling. Yeah, because you're selling $60,000 trucks to people making $25 an hour. It's just. It's just.
Speaker 1:I mean people can't work for just a truck by the time the thing's paid off, the wheels are gonna fall off because you're gonna have to get the loan for so long you know?
Speaker 2:I mean, yeah, I think they do like seven year loans now and stuff like that yeah, but what about in seven years?
Speaker 1:then they make them where they're gonna rot faster. You know what I'm saying? They're not designed like they used to be right? So by the time you're paid off, the wheels are falling off the thing. It's all rotted out.
Speaker 2:This is Ohio, you know I'm saying well, if you get a Ford, it's aluminum it's still gonna rot out.
Speaker 1:You got frame you still got steel in there it's gonna rot out, but what I'm saying is they ain't gonna last as long. They're too overpriced that?
Speaker 2:yeah, absolutely, and you know what that? That goes back to that liberal area, because it's the regulation is what's overpriced? It's not wages, by any means, but it's all the different components that are, I mean, what you could say they're overpriced, but you see where the money is going when you pick up a car. They're computerized.
Speaker 1:They've got all these different. I'm not pointing out where the cost is coming from. I'm not pointing out where the cost is coming from. I'm just saying they're overpriced.
Speaker 2:But a lot of that all came from regulation, like those backup sensors and cameras and stuff that was all the government started saying you're going to have to do it. You know, at some point I mean it was one thing when we regulated and said, okay, you have to have seatbelts, you know what I'm saying. Like you have to have seatbelts, you know what I'm saying. Like you have to have seatbelts. At some point they had to make a regulation to say you have to have seatbelts. But now when you're telling us we got to have backup cameras and you know, by certain dates and you got to have sensors by certain dates and all this different stuff that they have, that meanwhile is all like the government could probably just shut your car down and track it wherever you're at. Basically is what they're putting in all the vehicles pretty much.
Speaker 2:I mean I saw tucker carlson drives like an 87. I don't know if it's a chevy or ford pickup, that's what he drives but so he's completely stripped. Stripped. Yeah, it's a regular truck, like old school truck, you know, with no computer components, nothing in it. But when I look at that like when I see like those different things going in, yeah, you could see the expense to it, but people can't afford it. It doesn't make any difference. I mean, even Ford workers, like they're making good money, they're making decent money. I mean they're not. I mean it's still going to strap them. You know what I'm saying? Like, like, if I. When I was talking to ant and he's topped out now, he said he was like about a grand a week is all he's making. I mean, if the average home price is 300 000, you buy a truck and your payment's a thousand. I mean, come on, I mean you could do the math. There's your money now you got to buy groceries. You can't buy shoes and clothes because you're done.
Speaker 1:You're already done right there I mean, it just doesn't make sense. You can make it good and work at ford. Yeah, yeah, it's probably what you have to do soon.
Speaker 2:That's probably where it's coming to.
Speaker 1:Going to just get a wife, but don't marry her no, yeah, you don't marry, you have her collect welfare and get assistance. That's the move, that's a good move, that's a strong move.
Speaker 2:Well, they do this stuff, like with that, and I get it, it comes from a good spot. Okay, we want backup cameras or sensors or whatever in cars or whatever. We want all this stuff because it makes the cars safer per se, but have they really made it safer? Like, is it really? I mean, it's maybe a little bit better, but I would bet you that backup sensors and stuff at most have just eliminated a couple fender benders that aren't worth us spending all this fucking money. A couple fender benders, you know what I mean. Like we'd be better off to just give them free body work for fender benders. You know what I mean? Like we'd be better off to just give them free body work for fender benders. I mean, seriously, money wise financially when you look at it, just doesn't make sense. It's. It's like construction I'm, I'm. It's like, how long have you been in construction now? Like what was your first job in construction?
Speaker 1:well, probably 15, 16 trim, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:All right. So look at the difference between when you were 15 and what did what they do nowadays like just the just like the rules and regulations that they put up.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, just crazy.
Speaker 2:I mean, how many things have changed in construction that are just that. They're not beyond common sense. They just don't make sense at all. There's a lot. Mostly, you know what mine is. It's that high-vis clothing. Oh yeah yeah, it aggravates the shit out of me.
Speaker 1:You know that ain't my problem. My problem is when we go into Ford every day. You got to go, you got to put gloves on to rinse off your truck. Like why, why am I going to put gloves on? They'll come up to you in a golf cart talking about I'm right, champ. Yeah, oh yeah, that's stupid you got to have gloves, safety glasses, hard hat, I'm like we have nothing overhead. You know, I wear a baseball cap.
Speaker 2:Now they're trying to go to lanyards. Did you see that they want everything tethered? They're calling it tethered Like all your hand tools, tethered so that you can't drop them.
Speaker 1:But then they got this big thing. Well, I think that's pretty safe. You know what I'm saying? Underneath the lift you got a big old square around it where you're not supposed to walk into that section. Which, there you go. That's safe enough. You know you ain't supposed to be in there.
Speaker 2:No, you got to tether and have a hard hat on, yeah, and a high vis. But the thing the high vis thing that bugs me about it is that it's again you can get written up for it, but it's all fake safety bullshit. Dude, I'll literally and I'll specifically, I'll even call them out. I was at St John's West Shore over there. We're working in that hospital and they're making sure I have my high vis on my gloves, my safety glasses, my hard hat. I'm walking on stilts in a room. They got it cluttered with fucking cabinets and shit and I'm like I can't get in there to work. They're like well, we ain't got nowhere to put them. You're going to have to do it over the cabinets, and I'm, I'm, I trip on the cabinet, it hooks my stilt, knocks me on my ass. You know what I mean. But when I fell on the ground I had a hard hat on safety glasses, gloves and a high visibility vest.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean it makes no sense.
Speaker 1:Did you see yourself falling? No and nobody else did.
Speaker 2:Well, that's the other thing. I'm inside a building, right, right, I mean, you're not like, it's not like, you're out, like. I understand it for road workers, I guess I get that, but just a random like and then they walk away from other things Like remember when the back brace was the big thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, then they'd end up fucking everybody up yeah they said it was worse it like it weakened your back muscles.
Speaker 2:Yeah yeah, that was the big. Thing.
Speaker 1:Oh, everybody had them everybody at lowell's had to have it. Oh, yeah, have to have your back, yeah, everywhere yeah, boy, you know what you know probably pushed that the manufacturer that made them. Of course, that's all of them.
Speaker 2:That's all it. That's what it is and it's all fake. Safety, like I say. And another one I remember I was on the job. They got us on same thing gloves, hats, you know hard hats, all this stuff. They got big holes in the floor and their answer is that they just put a board up in the air like a stanchion. They called it just a, two by four on a piece of plywood and painted orange, but they're like, they're everywhere all over the room. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1:It just yeah, those are obstacles.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's a tripping hazard, right yeah.
Speaker 1:And then I don't know, it's just weird.
Speaker 2:I mean, when I first got in, I remember them just making us put hard hats on doing drop ceilings and I was annoyed, like I'm the high guy I'm doing drop ceilings, I'm up in the air, why would I need a hard hat? And all I'm doing is banging my fucking head on the grid all the time. So now I've got to stretch even further because I've got to lower my stilts so that my head's not hitting on. You know, and those hard hats back then were a little. They weren't as low profiled as they are today, I don't think. But yeah, just aggravating stuff with this, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that safety shit's a little too much and that's like we got to lean in our trucks to rinse them off, right. So you got a hard act. So you're like this Now you're trying to fucking make sure your hard hat don't fall in the truck. So you're sitting here trying to hold this while you're trying to rinse it down. To me it's more hazardous. You know what I'm saying? I agree. So you got this hard hat. You're trying to make sure it don't fall while you're rinsing off your truck. It's just stupid. It's all fake bullshit. Then you got this barrel yeah.
Speaker 1:It hooks on your barrel. You're fucked.
Speaker 2:But they tell you not to wear jewelry or watch.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you wear your ring but you're going to wear all this fucking shit that could get caught in this barrel. It's like God damn.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's all bullshit. It's fake safety and I don't even understand what the I mean. And everybody feels like they have to do something. And the problem is too have to do something and the problem is too, you know, like those OSHA rules and stuff like that, to get rid of them. You know those are like acts of Congress. To get rid of those, like you literally would have to go to Congress to change that.
Speaker 1:So it's all the people with the big money to change them to their benefit. So like you gotta buy a vest.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1:And he owns a fucking say a vest company.
Speaker 2:Or his donor or his donor.
Speaker 1:What is it? Lobbyist, or whatever.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So you got all these people that are funding it, or you got the common sense person that can't fund it. You know to fight it, so it goes through. So now you got to pay for that shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Lobbyists should just be gone right. I think, that should be legal. I think it should be too. I don't like that whole lobbying shit. I shit that. I always thought that that was bribing. It's legal.
Speaker 1:Bribing is what it is yeah, what else could it be? It's bribing, that's it, there is no question. It's fucking bribing. Yeah, here, pass my agenda if I give you something for your, your running shit yeah, that's all it is.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean it's. I mean the. The theory should be that that you're allowed to support a candidate that you feel would benefit you. You know what I mean. But I feel like the candidates adjust to get the funding. You know what I mean. There was a famous thing. You remember Hillary. They had her, they caught her. She was talking to a crowd like a banker, saying, well, I got to say one thing out there, but in here, did you see? You remember that? No, that wasn't when she was running against Trump. She had said that she like flat out got caught saying it. I mean it's. I mean, we all knew it. She just got caught saying it out loud. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:And that's I said. You know what? Each candidate should get so much money, and that's it, I feel like Should be peaked out, and that's it, because you're buying your way in. That's all it is.
Speaker 2:Sure, yeah, I mean you don't. But a lot of times, like I think he did, honestly, I think it was a lot less.
Speaker 1:Well, regardless, it don't matter who spent more, but I'm saying I don't think that it should be allowed anyways, Like pretty much you're buying your way in.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean that's pretty much the way it goes.
Speaker 1:I mean you're definitely selling your way in, especially if you're dealing with pharmaceuticals.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's horrible there. That's real bad. Pharmaceuticals are the worst. Did you see that senator that left the Democratic Party or whatever? I think she was a senator or a congressman, I can't remember, but anyways, what happened? She left, she went on a rampage, susan Eggman, and she's like you know. She's on a rampage, susan Eggman, and she's like she's like you know I. She's a California Senator, but she said that you know she goes. I'm done, I can't and I don't know what she's saying. If she's going independent, if she's I'm not sure if that's what her deal is or if she's going to the Republican party, whatever it is, she definitely left the democratic party. She goes.
Speaker 2:This is crazy, is crazy. You guys. All you guys want to do is support these um people that are like selling kids and like it. You know it's just just crazy ass shit. They're just and I feel like that's how that is that whole democratic party seems like it's got. I feel like and I'm not saying I, I I feel like people can't believe that shit Like right, like it's like, it's almost, like it's bizarre. How could they possibly believe that the shit that's coming out of their mouth some of them, you know what I mean Like that, jamie, what the hell's his name? He's like the congressman. I've seen a whole thing with him. I might even have a video of it. I don't remember, but he, jamie, what the hell's his name? Let me look for it here real quick.
Speaker 2:He was on a I guess it was like a talk show or something like that, like a political talk talk show, and he's talking about. He's one of these people that you know. He he calls Trump an insurrector. You know what I mean. And he's talking about that. You know, because he said that, because the Supreme Court isn't going to do their job. Basically is what he said he goes. It's going to be up to us on January 6th 2025 to break the news to Donald Trump that he is not allowed to even be a president at all, even if he wins. Because he's saying that.
Speaker 2:You know, I think it's the. Was it the 14th Amendment or something? There's something in there, in Article 3 or something. No, it says if you ever were an insurrection, if you were ever involved in an insurrection, but he's not. I mean they tried to charge him with them. It was a random charge, but he was found not guilty on it. I mean, he's not, he had nothing to do with it. He never once insurrected he told them the peaceful protest. Regardless, at the end of the day, he wasn't charged with it. I mean, he was charged with it but he wasn't found guilty of it. And you're not going to be found guilty of it because that's not what he was doing. You know what I mean? Common sense is common sense, but he's talking about like get ready for civil war and like all this shit.
Speaker 1:And I mean this is like a Congress and it's like you can't believe that.
Speaker 2:How can you believe?
Speaker 1:that you can't believe that? How can you believe that Every time, election is the fear tactics. This is what's going to happen there's going to be a civil war. There's going to be a war. There's going to be World War III. It's all scared tactics.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, it's all it is. I told you that. I hate, gloom and doom, shit. That drives me nuts anyways, but he was saying it so calmly. Like you know, we're gonna have to be in civil rights, we're all gonna have to have protection and all this stuff. Because he said because of the crazy trumpers is what he said, or something like that, or the wild trumpers or I, I forget what it was.
Speaker 1:Like I said, I think that I just remember them being more candidates. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2:it wasn't just two people running, you know, I mean it's always been more not the end of the day, though.
Speaker 1:It's always been two, except for when ross perot was in there running as an independent, and like like in the last what say eight years or whatever, there's only been a couple, that's before. You know, I mean like going into it. Yeah, there's only a couple now, but I'm saying back then it was more. You know what I mean. Like going into it, yeah, there's only a couple now, but I'm saying back then it was more you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, when you come in they do the primaries. But the Democrats didn't do any primaries this year. They had primaries for Republican but Trump kind of tore through them that Nikki Haley was making some waves and Vivek Ramaswamy was making some waves, but I mean Trump just kind of tore through them. Trump's got the right message. That's the problem. Trump is more moderate. He's not a conservative full-hearted. I mean, in fact, most of his career supported the Democratic Party. In fact he funded the Clinton campaign, he helped fund it. So I mean it's not like, but those Clinton like that Clinton Democrat? That's not what's out there right now. These people want craziness, like Kamala Harris and this you know this what's his name? Watts or whatever. What is his name? That's her VP pick.
Speaker 1:I heard him say some weird shit. I don't know.
Speaker 2:Have you heard all the things that about that guy, what that he wants, like I think kids under 13 to like be able to have uh reconstruction surgery and stuff. Yeah, and he and he put uh feminine products in the men's bathroom. Is this true? That's what they're saying, that's everybody saying it. Nobody's disputing it. I've never seen anybody dispute it yet. They said he wants abortions to nine months. Jesus, like they're saying they picked somebody that was far and it's again. It's the same thing I said with Trump. It's the smart play. Trump got somebody that's so right that if you think he's to the right, you don't want to kill him because you're going to end up with this guy. Now, she went to the far left, she went all the way left. Like you know what I mean. And then they're saying, like she didn't pick because they think that the hands down best candidate for her to have picked would have been Shapiro from Pennsylvania, the governor of Pennsylvania, and she did not pick him. And they say it's because of his Jewish roots.
Speaker 2:And she's anti-Semitic, so what?
Speaker 1:about. Can't think of it now. Oh that black chick I said oh, Candace Owens.
Speaker 2:That's a Trump shit. Yeah, we like Candace Owens. Oh yeah, she might not have been interested in something like that. I don't know what she's, I don't know, but she's good.
Speaker 1:You ever listen to her.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she's smart, she's funny too.
Speaker 1:She cracks me up, she's quick, oh she's funny too.
Speaker 2:She cracks me up, she's quick. Oh yeah, she's quick. Did you see the one where she was pregnant?
Speaker 1:That was one of my favorite ones. I ain't got time for your stupidity. I'm too pregnant for this shit. She said thanks for the statement. It was supposed to be a question, but thanks for your statement.
Speaker 2:That was a statement yeah, she was good Now that that would have been something. Yeah, candace Owens is. I think she's on a fast track to eventually end up in politics at some point.
Speaker 1:I would assume they said she's going to start, she's going to take over the spot of the View.
Speaker 2:The View really.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:No, kidding Is the View gone.
Speaker 1:I don't know, but it was something they posted that she was going to take the spot and I was thinking that's pretty big.
Speaker 2:Amanda sent me one that was pretty good. It was showing all the people the view all of them prior to Trump running for president and then after he ran for president, like talking about how great he was, hugging on him, he's the greatest guy, all these different things. And then all of a sudden he runs for president and like he's like the worst person in the world.
Speaker 2:He's horrible, he's this, he's that. I mean I don't know. I think that I don't think anybody, I don't think Harris is going to do any better than Biden. In fact, I think she might do worse than Biden. Maybe not. Maybe she'll get a few more than Biden did, maybe. But I don't think there's any of these numbers they're giving us. I think they're all bullshit. I don't think there's any way it's going to be anything like that. I just don't believe it. I really wholeheartedly don't believe that, because she's just I don't know, you know what I mean? She's just too left, too far left. She's just way too far left that, like California Democrat, like California, lost their mind. I think they just Everybody's moving out of there, yeah, and I don't blame them.
Speaker 2:It's freaking insane out there, yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, you remember when that that straw thing happened out there?
Speaker 2:Oh where they want to ban straws.
Speaker 1:No, they banned them already, but it was a. It was the plastic straws. They banned them and a guy had a plastic straw on a bus. You don't remember that shit? Uh-uh, what happened? Swat team and everything else over a straw over a plastic straw. That was years ago really yeah, shit was crazy over a straw.
Speaker 2:I remember they did. They remember that kid got brought mercury to school in Sheffield over there. No, I don't remember that. You don't remember that that there was a kid and I know specifically I remember the kid got. He got in a lot of trouble. He brought mercury, just like the you know like we used to play with it when we were kids. You break a thermometer and play with it.
Speaker 1:We did Until you realize when you get older like damn, I still might have shit from that. We didn't know though back then.
Speaker 2:No, I don't think anybody knew, but this kid took it on a bus and they, like he got in all kinds of trouble and like I don't know exactly what happened as far as like him getting in trouble, but the kid actually the same kid threw a rock at Jen's window when she was driving down. She was going to the bank over here.
Speaker 2:That was a rowdy kid and yeah, he chucked it on 254. He chucked a rock, yeah, chucked it, broke the window. And then we found out it was the same kid. And then we asked I tried to get the police to like, just because I had the construction company by then I said, just let me have the kid make him work it off. You know what I mean? Because the parents had to pay for the window. But I go, I don't really want the parents to pay for the window, I'd rather he come and work it off. And they wouldn't allow it. They said no way.
Speaker 1:They did that to a friend of mine. He did broke in a flower shop and he got caught, and then the old man went to the court and told him that he wanted him to work it off.
Speaker 2:They wouldn't let me.
Speaker 1:They made him work it off.
Speaker 2:But you're talking older times though You're talking. I mean, I was thinking about that. I remember specifically I was doing this job in I think it was in Vermillion, I don't remember. I'm trying to remember exactly where it was. It was a side job I was doing an evening. I don't even know where I got the job from, but I'm doing this job in the evening and I'm I'm working on it. I'm listening to the parents yell at this kid. You know barely barely like, just like I, I, I, I mean it's putting them in line, basically the kid, and the kid starts like crying. You know, like, how dare you? Like you would think she just got her ass beat. You know what I mean. Because they didn't let her do whatever it was she wanted to do. And I remember I come home or whatever, and I'm like man, I go, that's people are raising kids this way. This is crazy. You know what I mean. Like you got to set a kid straight. I mean you can't just let a kid do whatever they want.
Speaker 1:You know what?
Speaker 2:I mean, and then you go and you look at that's what's going on in the world today, like that's the people that are adults now that nobody can tell them no about anything Everybody. They're just like you know what I mean. Oh, no can tell them no about anything. Everybody.
Speaker 1:They're just like you know what I mean, oh no, this is how it is, I'm a furry or I'm a right you know.
Speaker 2:It's like there's no reality check to them or nothing.
Speaker 1:You know like I'm a peacock yeah, remember mark walbert said it in that show, that shit was funny, I'm a peacock uh, my feathers are too bright or something. What are you saying I?
Speaker 2:forget. I don't know that was funny. I'm a peacock, yeah, yeah that's. I don't know that. But I think that's part of the problem, I think because it started in that like, because I mean, granted, there was a like, I think my mom was a little harsh, you know what I mean. Like my mom used to beat the shit out of me when I would fuck up. She's like she would. She would just jump at me. You know what I mean, and I think maybe she was a little too far, but then maybe not, because I feel like I'm a well-rounded adult. You know what I mean. So maybe I'm okay with it, but I mean maybe, maybe. But I think that there's a happy medium, you know what I mean. Like with Lexa and H hayley when I was raising. Like hayley, you just never had to really say much too, you know, I mean, and dylan's the same way. But lexa was one that you had to like you had to check lex every once in a while. She had to be checked.
Speaker 1:If we're back in line, that's all yeah, it had to be.
Speaker 2:I mean, that's just the kid she was, that's just yeah, but you're you.
Speaker 1:I've seen the way you raised them. It was like you still let them make their mistakes a little bit, you know well, yeah, you gotta let them make their mistakes, but that doesn't mean you like right, you give in abandoned things and stuff.
Speaker 2:You know I mean like dylan's a, dylan's a. He's a smart kid, you know, I mean he's, he's smart, but he's been like honestly, of all the kids, like honestly, I've, he's just, I mean he's been the perfect kid. Like he does not ever really talk back, he doesn't. I mean he gets it's to the point where, like amanda gets annoyed with him for the little things that like he does talk back a little bit and it's like that's not even talking back, you know what I, but it's like, literally, he has always been like just a perfect kid.
Speaker 2:He does what he's supposed to when he's supposed to you know what I mean and just he's very conscientious of people around him. I mean, he's just you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he knows how to entertain himself when it's time to. You know what I'm saying? Like he'll go on his little thing.
Speaker 2:No, he knows how to entertain himself when it's time to. You know what I'm saying. Like he'll go on his little thing. No, he'll go on a device that's different. I don't think that's entertaining yourself. Take that device.
Speaker 1:He'll bug you to death, to play a game or do something with it. Remember when he used to walk in the door and he'd see me and he just had this look like I'm going to attack him. Remember when he used to go slap, slap a man to Santiago's ass. We're like you can't do that. Everybody wants to, but you can't do it. But yeah, he used to look at me when he'd walk in the door, like with his just you know regular face on.
Speaker 2:Then he'd see me, his eyes would just look like I'm going to get him. Yeah, he's always been a good kid. He just always has been a good kid. I'm not saying that like at his age, lexa was probably always a good kid too. I mean, lexa was always a good kid in public anyways. Like I remember, like we would have to fight with her to clean her room at home. But you take her to somebody else's house and she would like finish playing and pick everything up and do what she was supposed to.
Speaker 2:you know what I mean, but at home she would be a little rude about things.
Speaker 1:But at any rate, what's going on with the bar?
Speaker 2:Anything. Well, I think we're going to finally get that guitar guy back this Tuesday. They're doing that open. They're doing that like open mic thing he does. He fell and he got hurt so he was like not able to do anything. He's been off work too for a few weeks, so I think this week he'll be able to come back and he's doing it. Mostly he can't bring in his equipment and stuff. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:That's all it really came down to. I actually thought about it. I should have just said that we can come get your equipment, but that's all right If he needs the time off to heal, whatever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he started to sound like an employer, like you're hurt, that's all right, we'll get you some light duty. Come on in.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean it's just good for the bar. I think that's kind of a cool thing. I like that little open mic and I know Tex kind of thinks that's pretty cool. It's a lot of people like that, the whole thing. You just get up and play a little bit. Some people just sing and he'll play for them. Adam does a good job with it. I think he's pretty good. We probably should have him come out and do a night, but we keep having the DJ thing was a thing that really we we move now we've got darius doing it, the grind league that we that we sponsor at oakwood park, that darius is doing our djing. Now we got rid of. Uh, uh, donna, because it pissed me off that I got on the phone with the police. They called like they One of the girls gave the police my number and they called me up and they're like we've been here three times to tell her. It's like is she mentally handicapped? Why do you have to be told three goddamn times?
Speaker 1:You've got to be told three times and nobody told me what was she told that the you got to be told three times what was, and nobody told me what was.
Speaker 2:She told that the volume has to be down. Okay, she's out. She's got it out there full blast, like every time, turning it up every time and and it's pissing off the one and I guess, like noise, ordinance or whatever. It's like 100 yards, hundred yards or whatever, and anybody within a hundred yards, you know, once you're a hundred yards away, you shouldn't be able to hear it. Supposedly after a certain time and she's been told that, and she was told it, but nobody even told me.
Speaker 2:The police had showed up for three times and and you know what I mean and I can get fined for that shit, you know what I mean. You put me in it, it you put me in a bad predicament when you're doing that, and then, and for nobody to have told me, one pisses me off, including my bartenders. Never nobody told me. You know, um darius, what you know, he knows, he understands that that's the score, but his first time out there. The police showed up there too again, but he said that they came out and agreed everything was right, that he's good. The guy called. But the guy had no reason to call. He's just seen the DJ and had to call because he's an asshole that guy in the corner that's always harassing us with the music At a certain point.
Speaker 1:You know I've had my situations with my neighbors At a certain point. I think when you call too much to police and it's not valid, they should be cited or something.
Speaker 2:But I guess it was valid with Donna, he told me.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, I get that.
Speaker 2:The cop flat out told me. I've told her three times and she's asked me is this a good volume? I've said yes, he goes, and then I come back out and she's doing it again. That's bullshit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because you're pissing him off. Yeah, you're actually pissing him off. Yeah, you're actually pissing him off.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're aggravating people and they have the right to give me a fine after they come out. And you'd understand it.
Speaker 1:You'd be like, yeah, I was told three times, but I wasn't told.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean, right, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you'd have to bite it, I guess.
Speaker 2:But that's why she's just gone. That's it I'm. I mean, you can't just keep doing that to me, that's you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a bigger issue. You know, like you got all kinds of other stuff going on to have that. Yeah, I don't need that, yeah that's aggravation.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean. I'm out and all of a sudden I get a phone call and it's the damn police because you've been told three times and you're not. It's kind of like safety glasses. No, it is. I would get so fucking. I got so mad. I remember because I was constantly getting written up with the safety glasses. And you know, with the, the guys have two different companies and genon and herner was one that you had to have safety glasses, hard hats all the time, and if you didn't, their safety guy catches. You know you get written up or whatever. And it's like I'm dealing with adults, not children. You know what I mean. You know you have to have them on. Just fucking put them on. I mean, you know what I mean. Just put the fucking glasses on.
Speaker 2:You're an adult, you have to wear the glasses to be on the job. You know that. Just fucking put them on, and it's just. Why do you have to keep being told? That doesn't make sense to me. You know what I mean and everybody's always got their oh, they steam up, they do this. That bullshit I mean they do here and there, but it's not like you know what I mean. You can't manage without with safety glasses on. I do it just fine. You know what I mean. Everybody can do it just fine, and I'm I'm a hothead, I get like that's.
Speaker 1:That's one thing. On the safety thing we was talking about earlier, I think safety glasses are very important, absolutely, yeah yeah, look, I mean, do you remember that?
Speaker 2:were you with us when, uh that, when the kid shot himself in the eye when I was but? It was, he had safety glasses on.
Speaker 1:Was it Christmas time?
Speaker 2:No, no, it wasn't. It wasn't a Red Ryder.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, go ahead.
Speaker 2:No, he had a nail gun come back. The nail come back and popped him and his whole under here was bruised from the pressure of the safety glass. It went right through his eye, but it didn't because he had safety glasses on. I mean, it was the best thing you ever could see that would make you want to wear safety glasses.
Speaker 1:I've seen well, I ain't see it personally, but I'm saying I've seen the glasses where they had a grinding wheel stuck in it. You know what I'm saying Like a piece of the grinding wheel that broke and shattered.
Speaker 2:And never mind that, just like, especially when you do metal studs and stuff, just the metal shavings that get in your eyes all that stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you can get some metal in your eye, fuck.
Speaker 2:Yeah, guys have to go to the hospital and get like a magnet to freaking pull it out and shit Like fuck that, no, it's just the safety glasses are, that's when I yeah, and I'm not hard hats don't even bother me, honestly, they really don't.
Speaker 2:But I take a mandatory all the time now and that's whatever. That doesn't even bother me that much, like it's something I got used to. And honestly, I like the gloves Doing metal studs. The gloves are so much nicer, they really are. I like those like nice tight-fitting ones that they have now that are like they got the grippers on one side and you don't cut up your hands. You know what I mean. You don't get them all black and greasy and dirty. I mean I really do. I like it. Now I'd prefer to work with the gloves than without them. I like it Even doing wood framing. You know you don't have splinters.
Speaker 1:Yeah, remember when I had that 2x4 in my finger.
Speaker 2:Well, do you remember the kid that worked for me that went to the hospital over a splinter? Well, you remember the kid that worked for me that went to the hospital over a splinter. Oh yeah, I remember. I remember the story, but I don't remember. It was your buddy. Uh, what was his name? Ken? Was it kenny? It was the one that was with chris. Remember? Chris came here the other day, right, chris acres, not the other day, five years ago, we all got together.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, chris came here and remember the other kid that was with him at the time, Kenny.
Speaker 2:He got a splinter in his hand and had to go to the emergency room. Like it was a workman's comp claim on me because he had a splinter and I was annoyed as shit. I was dude, I was like really annoyed and I think he could tell I was annoyed because he ended up showing up like at the house and he had like a pill bottle and it had like the splinter in there. But I mean it was a pretty good size. I mean I'm not going to say it wasn't, but it still I wouldn't have went to the emergency room over it. But but he, you know, he was just a kid then. That was when the both of those were guys that I got from JVS. So they came in while they were in school and then after school they came to work for us.
Speaker 2:We went on one day graduated they came to work for us full time you know, and then Kenny actually I think he he was the one that was like an Eagle Scout or something like that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:He was like I bet he's doing good.
Speaker 1:Now though, I would imagine I mean, I don't think too many Eagle Scouts are doing bad.
Speaker 2:That's usually a pretty good thing to put on your resume right from the rip.
Speaker 1:He was like smart and you could see he was still trying to figure it out. You know what I mean?
Speaker 2:Yeah, which one was the one that went to see some girl that they met online.
Speaker 1:That was Chris.
Speaker 2:That was Chris. Yeah, yeah, how did that work out.
Speaker 1:Did you ever talk to him since that? Well, I talked to him one time after we was here that one day, but that kid was strong man, oh yeah, strong, yeah he was strong like bull.
Speaker 2:Yeah, strong like bull. That one that shot his eye out was too. He was a skinny kid, though, bill.
Speaker 1:Fuqua was his name.
Speaker 2:He was a scrawny little kid but the one day we were over there working at Chester Road Shopping Center in Avon and we had these big, huge sections of wall that were pre-built and then we were just setting them in place. You know, we were building them on the ground, setting them in place. This thing's like 12 feet long, plywooded, and I'm sitting there all of a sudden I see it going across the thing. I don't see any. You know, usually you have a guy on each end. You know I'm like what the hell? It's just walking. I go over there. It's little Bill Fuqua's got this whole damn wall. I go, holy shit.
Speaker 1:Let me tell you a quick story about well, you've heard it, but so people ain't heard it. I'm going to tell a quick story about Chris, about chris. Chris was carrying up them big old, I don't know, they were probably 15 feet, they were about this wide and he's carrying them up a ladder and I'm like dude, you want I had left. I said you want to put it on the lift and carry it up you know, like I could barely pick one of them things up what was it?
Speaker 1:remember that plate for the top of the roof. Oh, the wood plate yeah, yeah okay. So he's grabbing them and he's putting them on his shoulder. It's all all long and shit and he's carrying them up the ladder.
Speaker 2:I'm like oh, Two by 12 treated is what it was.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was like holy shit. I said, dude, you want to put it on a lift and take it up to the top? Nah, I get it, and he's walking up the ladder. I'm like holy shit, that kid's strong.
Speaker 2:So he did be a little bit late, he'd be about maybe three minutes, five minutes.
Speaker 1:So, anthony, it was being Anthony. We're all riding together and you could see him in the parking lot, but he's pulling out to go to the gas station across the street to get something to drink. So we're going over the hill and then we see him pulling out of the parking lot. So we come around, get off the highway, come back around in the parking lot and he's pulling in behind us. We're late. You know what I'm saying, right? So we're all getting out of Anthony's truck and he goes go tell Chris. If he's late tomorrow, don't bother coming in. I said what. And he goes just tell him. And I'm like, oh man. So I go to walk to Chris and he's, all you know, happy-go-lucky and he was one of them. Kids that would always say darn, and stuff like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah right.
Speaker 1:Never cuss and stuff. He's like darn it. So we go. I go up to him and I'm like I don't even want to tell this kid this, but it would be better me telling him than somebody else, you know. So I was like hey, chris. He's like yeah, and he's unloading, taking his tool belt out of his trunk. I said hey, anthony said if you're going to be late tomorrow, don't bother showing up. He got so mad Like he knew he was there. He's like tell Anthony, I'll fucking punt his ass across the floor. Oh my God, that shit was so funny. So everything calms down and shit. We go to work. So we're all sitting around, you know, lunch break and shit. And I said it just popped in my head and I said hey, chris, and he goes. Huh, and I said tell Anthony what you said. And he goes. No.
Speaker 2:That shit was hilarious. So what's like something that you ever did at work or said at work? That's like always come back and haunted you for years and years, do you?
Speaker 1:ever have anything like that. I kind of don't know what you're referring to.
Speaker 2:Well, like there's two things that stick out in my head, for there's like three things actually For you or me, for me, that stuck out, that have happened throughout my life, that have you know what I mean, that have always, that still to this day, get brought up Like you know what I mean, I think that turkey one was pretty funny, wouldn't you? I don't even remember that, but you told me about it yeah, you told me about it.
Speaker 1:What did it?
Speaker 2:what happened with the turkey one there was fucking with that kid.
Speaker 1:The same kid, yeah, chris. And he said did you get a turkey like we was acting like we got a turkey or a?
Speaker 2:ham right.
Speaker 1:So it was like yeah, jimmy's giving a turkey and ham when you go get your check. So then he goes oh, for real. He said what'd you get? And everybody was just lying and saying oh, I got a ham, oh, I got a turkey. So when he went to your door and he got your check, he's like standing there after he got the check and you're looking and I'm like and then he goes don't I get a turkey or a ham. You said, yeah right, and slammed the door in his face oh shit but.
Speaker 2:I always for Christmas. I always gave out steaks. Was it Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1:or something. Yeah, it was something weird. It must have been Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2:I always did steaks or whatever for Christmas.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, that shit was so funny man, Everybody fucked with that kid, but he was a good kid.
Speaker 2:No, when I first got in, like when I very first got in to working for Chris back years ago, it was like I had worked with Jimmy Dean for maybe two weeks or something at that point and all of a sudden they put me with Kevin and we're working with them, and or I'm working with them and and we're hanging drywall. I had never hung drywall before and I'm running a screw gun. I never even seen a screw gun before. You know, at this point and I'm trying to get them in that screws just keep keep not going in, right, you know what I mean. You know how it is. The first time you picked up a screw gun and you're trying to run drywall screws.
Speaker 2:You're pushing too hard, you're bending them, yeah, and they're going sideways and all this shit's going on and he's like freaking, getting aggravated. You could tell he's getting annoyed and he keeps saying stupid shit to me because shit. And I just went, I don't know, dude, I'm trying, but I said, oh well, it's what it is. I don't know what to tell you, dude. I heard oh well, to this day, in fact this week I was on a job and heard oh well, being a smartass to me over saying oh well. And then the other one was when I was an apprentice.
Speaker 2:When I was an apprentice I got like, by my second year I was pretty much running work. You know what I mean I had. I was running work at that point by my second year. So I would be running work and I would. I was knocking out some shit making. I was trying to make waves. You know you're a kid, you're busting ass trying to show up and do what you could do.
Speaker 2:But I remember all the journeymen there were talking shit to me to one day about something that I did, and I don't even remember what it was at the time. But I said dollar for dollar. I'm the best man standing here, you know cause I'm still an apprentice, you know and dude, they never let that shit go. I still hear dollar for dollar. To this day, I hear dollar for dollar and to this day I stand by it. So, ha-ha, no, those two are the ones that stick out.
Speaker 2:And then, for some reason, weirdly enough, like when I was in, when I worked at Subway, everything that went wrong when I was in, like high school, they would write Tucker, did it everywhere, everywhere, everywhere, all of a sudden, and I don't know why, not even the same people, nobody knew about it. But every time they do something at work and it's a fuck up, they just write Tucker. And I don't know where it came from, I don't know how it started, but they do it. I mean literally, if something's wrong, they just write Tucker on the wall next to how many years ago that was.
Speaker 1:Oh, they've been God, they've been doing that no, no, I'm saying when you worked over there at uh, so what? Oh, it's over 30 years now, 31 years, 32 years I just seen something they had.
Speaker 2:Tucker did it on there. No, I'm just kidding, no, they do, they did it so much. Amanda actually took and burnt a hole in a t-shirt when she was doing the cricket and she wrote tucker with an arrow pointing at it because I mean they literally were doing it and I I hadn't worked there in a long time.
Speaker 2:I started doing the bar and all that stuff and I hadn't been there. And then I went back and did some stuff like on my own, but I helped them out, you know what I mean? And I show up on a job and it's like they're still writing Tucker on everything and I and I hadn't even been there. I wouldn't even been there for five years and they're still doing it. So it's pretty funny. So those are three things that like, like that, that ever happened to you.
Speaker 1:I don't remember, man.
Speaker 2:My memory is horrible no, well, this is stuff like what I'm talking about. You would remember. Don't go away.
Speaker 1:That's the whole point, it never stops it never goes away. Your pill like your pill, your memory pill, when you told your mom you keep forgetting to take. Yeah, that was the funniest shit I was mad, though she laughed and I was mad, and then I realized it is kind of funny, so I started laughing.
Speaker 2:I just I mean it's just different things that go on and construction it's fun. I mean construction, working construction has always been a lot of fun for me. I was telling Amanda that because this week I was doing metal studs again yeah, the camaraderie with the guys and yeah. I just I like doing metal, like it's, like it's so, it's so comfort, it's like a comfort spot for me, like I can go do it and it just is, it's flawless, it's easy for you, it's.
Speaker 1:Not only is it easy, but it's relaxing to it, to it's mentally relaxing when I was working with andrew and brian, when we used to like at the shop was kind of you know a little stressed and shit. But when we got to a job and we was installing the house like just trim mold and all that shit, that was where my relaxed shit was, because that shit was just second nature to me at a certain time. And then when me and Andrew worked together all the time it was like we talked about everything else but work. You know, like I'm just handing him shit cut already and he's nailing it up. We just had to flow, you know.
Speaker 2:I'm just handing him shit cutting already and he's nailing it up. We just had to flow, you know. Yeah, I worked with Kevin one day out there. It was just me and Kevin. Now Kevin was again. Like I said, I had only worked with Jimmy Dean two weeks and then I was working with Kevin. So I've been working with Kevin my whole career, you know, and it is second nature. I mean I can jump back in there with Kev. I mean we just go again.
Speaker 1:Don't talk none about work, because you already know what the next guy is going to do and what he needs and shit he might throw a number at you or something, but that's it. That's how me and Adrian was just we'd talk about everything while we're just working and I'm just handing him cutting it, handing it, you know what I'm saying? And it was just so smooth. It's like, oh, you got to stop and go measure yourself sometimes, that's frustrating.
Speaker 2:That's Bobby. Like I have to work with Bobby, like Bobby is great with. I mean, he's a wood framer his whole life. I mean that's what he knows, what he's doing when it comes to that. Then, when we got to do metal studs or drop ceilings or something, I get frustrated because I just don't want to teach nobody anything anymore, right, right. And if I do want to teach, I want to teach somebody young. You know what?
Speaker 2:I mean Like somebody that's, you know, going to have some hustle to it or something. Not to say Bobby doesn't work hard, he does, but I mean it's just he's old. I mean he's just not going to get. You're not going to get out of him. Even if he did, you're teaching him for what a few years and he can't. You know he'll be done in anyways.
Speaker 1:So I mean it's just and you always want somebody fresh. You don't want somebody that already knows shit, because then they're going to go with what they know. You want to teach them the way you're doing it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's a lot of them out there, though, dude, do you know how many people that I've like done metal studs with and taught metal studs more than ceilings? Metal studs is what I did most of my career. Now I do mostly ceilings, but metal studs is like that's where I. That's all I did for years and years and years. That's all I did and I like doing them. I like I like doing the. I like doing the light gauge interior office walls like I could do those all day, like structural and stuff. I mean it's okay, but I mean I hate working in a cold.
Speaker 1:I hate you know what I mean. Like I don't mind it in the summer.
Speaker 2:But, man, when you got to go out in a cold, and you're just starting it.
Speaker 1:You're sweeping up, shoveling snow out the way.
Speaker 2:That dude I hate it like I you, I will. At this point in my life, I'll just like contemplate life and quitting and everything you know I mean like I just don't want to be out in that cold.
Speaker 1:no more. I'm going to work at Save-A-Lot yeah anything.
Speaker 2:Yeah, anything but this, like there's just I can't see it, that cold man Now your hands hurt like hell. I did it, though I mean I'd done it for years, but I just don't want to do that all day, and structural too in the summer.
Speaker 1:I just don't like doing it in the winter that shit. I remember that shit. It was cold as shit.
Speaker 2:We were doing that CVS at Ava on that one. I was doing all the structural steel studs there and I was out there. I was freaking. My whole fingertips would be frozen, but my grandma lived right down the road, dudetime. I go over to ship a little heater under the table some hot fresh soup.
Speaker 1:Nice lunch, it was great yeah, but to get up and go back out in that shade like damn yeah, but it was still nice regardless well, I think we had a long one here today, buddy.
Speaker 2:Did we have a long one? I think so. I don't even know if we got into everything at all. We started talking about other dumb shit. Never even got into half the shit that's going on. You think so?
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, All right. No, I'm saying about the stories and shit. People like that shit.
Speaker 2:They do. Yeah, but you need those common stuff that's going on, like the current events. Current events, you got to have them, current events, if you want people to come watch the show. If you don't have that, they're not going to do it. Talking old school shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we are kind of old now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're all. That's why I was telling Joe that last night.
Speaker 1:It seems like you wake up one day and you're like I ain't a spring chicken, no more, no, you know, that's the thing.
Speaker 2:Like I was talking to Joe last night at the casino why are you whispering? I don't know why, but we're at the casino and I started talking. He said something about Chris is getting old. You know, chris is the one who does his estimating and stuff and Chris is the guy I worked for originally when I first got into trades and he's like oh, he's getting old and I'm like dude, I mean everybody. He goes well. You know, like his mind ain't there, I go well, everybody else's body ain't there. Like those people that are working are the same people I've worked with for 30 years.
Speaker 1:They're still doing it, huh.
Speaker 2:And there's no young ones there behind them, like it's all just the older crew, like, as far as, as carpenters go, they're all like I mean, granted, you got a hell of a lot of experience there, you know. I mean, which is something. But I mean they're everybody's getting old, they're slowing down there's. I mean there's nothing you could do about it. They're're going to. I mean you can't be the same carpenter at 56 as you were at 35. You just can't. I mean at 40 maybe, but once you start getting up over 50, your body just don't do what it used to do. You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean you've got to get some young kids to learn from them.
Speaker 1:Guys too, though, you know them, young kids, some of them want to learn man, but there's nobody to teach them. Yeah, you got to find them.
Speaker 2:you know, you got to find those. They're out there. I mean, like Zach, my son-in-law, zach, he's a smart young kid that does his thing, but I don't know, I don't know what he's going to do with it. He's got to find it. Yeah, keep telling yourself that.
Speaker 1:Chris, what did?
Speaker 2:he put it's all about how healthy you are really. No, no, not at this rate. Like I mean, even the healthiest of them are just it's just, it's still. I mean Dean is a good example the ceiling guy that flies through and he's fast, thin in shape, healthy guy still has had like two heart attacks. You know what I mean. Like it's just not, you know it just. I mean you could be as healthy as you want, you start getting old. I mean it just comes apart.
Speaker 1:I mean that's the way it is. What about all the athletes? Tyson you got. Lennox, lewis you just get to that age, you can't do it no more.
Speaker 2:No, it's just not the same.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you just age Nobody escapes it, you ain't beating that one.
Speaker 2:Nope, nobody beats that one.
Speaker 2:Nobody's beating that one, except for Joe Biden. He just got older and grew seven inches and got a pep in his step. Where'd he go? I ain't seen him since he quit. Is he running the country or no Right now? What's he doing right now? Oh, I don't know. He's in limbo. I honestly I was thinking about that two days ago and I started looking, trying to find any events he did. I don't think he's doing any. I don't know. I don't have a schedule, but I don't see anything out there anywhere. He's just gone. He's out Peace.
Speaker 1:You answered every question, Joe. Did you see that part?
Speaker 2:You answered every question they gave you. Oh God, yeah.
Speaker 1:So proud of you.
Speaker 2:Yay, yay, yay, okay. But one last, oh God, yeah, so proud of you. Yay, yay, yay, okay. But one last thing though. Summer's almost over, we're coming up to the end and we need two things we need a country night and a white trash party. Well, I do the country night, you do the white trash and we need to make it happen in the next month. Okay, so pick your day you want, and then we'll start blasting it and start running it.
Speaker 1:As long as it's a, it could be a Saturday night. They've been working me every Saturday. They've been working you every Saturday. Yeah, it won't be a Friday. I promise you that. Why? Because they work me Friday and. Saturday. So I'm not going to be up all night Friday and then go to work Saturday. You're too old to do that now.
Speaker 2:That's what we're going back to.
Speaker 1:That's what we're going back to.
Speaker 2:All right, so Saturday night I do. So we're going to make it happen. We've only got a couple weeks left in August, so maybe we'll try and get one of them in August and one in September and get those two parties, because those are our two favorite parties. Everybody likes those two parties the most. We didn't do any of the rest of them. We need to get it done. Oh, and, by the way, I'm going to start this roof this week. We're going to get that done too.
Speaker 2:But anyways all right, we're getting out of here. Who's doing the roof?
Speaker 1:Me and Bobby, you ain't going to have them. Guys that do the parking lot no, no God, no, no, no God no, you know, I told you.
Speaker 2:Remember I said he was full of shit. Remember I said that he was full of shit and I go. I said he said he wanted to seal it first because then the patches will patch in better and he'll show up after Never showed up. He ain't never showed up. He ain't come back. He ain't going to come back either.
Speaker 1:Wouldn't want him to come back.
Speaker 2:No, I don't disagree, but I was looking at chip and seal parking lots. That's probably what we should do, probably a bit better. They say that they'll just come and do it straight right over top of the asphalt. Oh yeah, yeah, you don't have to put a base on it. I don't know how much, but they say they will. But that's a whole nother. We've got at least another year out of this one, maybe, who knows?
Speaker 1:Depends on what they did. Yeah, how well it holds up. I'll probably pat you a couple more times before it's over.
Speaker 2:All right, we're getting out of here. We'll see you guys later. Don't forget, this week prices are going up at the Madhouse. Our new menus are coming out. They're already here. I just got to go on the computer and change everything.
