Election Day Fender Benders and Celebrity Slip-Ups: Political Ramblings, Urban Myths, and Voting Virtues

James Tucker & Santiago Lopez Season 2 Episode 50

Send us a text

Can a simple election day lead to a surge in traffic accidents? We explore the curious spike in fender benders that coincide with election time, and share a laugh about a woman who somehow managed to get into two in one day. Yet, things get serious as we discuss the political landscape, including Tony Inchman's comments that have stirred the pot for Trump's campaign and raised eyebrows about leadership competency following a mishap at a construction site. The art of political humor gets a spotlight as well, especially when a quip about Puerto Rico ignites a swift backlash in our reactive political climate.

Have you ever been let down by a movie? Our conversation takes a turn toward the intersection of celebrities and politics, starting with a disappointment in the latest Reagan film and moving to Cardi B's awkward moment at a Kamala Harris event. We discuss how these public figures influence political engagement and question the logic behind some urban development choices like converting farmland to housing. Through these discussions, the importance of voting, despite personal disillusionment, remains a central theme.

From school dress codes sparking controversy to the influence of media on parenting, we tackle a range of pressing social issues. The conversation explores the impact of gender dynamics and political manipulation on voting, drawing parallels to the diplomatic skills needed in international relations. We liken the podcast world to the unscripted charm of classic talk shows and end on a light note, encouraging everyone to participate in democracy while keeping their voting choices private. Tune in for a candid conversation that mixes humor with hard-hitting topics.

Speaker 1:

We're number one. You haven't been a cheap ass. You know I'm like damn. You heard it here first, right right, right, we're the best. You know, they say people that cuss are morons. So I'm an honest motherfucker. Put the fish away, reggie, it don't even hurt to give birth anymore.

Speaker 2:

Not for me. Nothing to it. Okay, let's do it. Come on, I'm ready. I'm ready, I want to do it. I wear a thong.

Speaker 1:

I got one on right now.

Speaker 2:

You want to see Jimmy and Geek Mad House Bar Talks. Baby man, this is a bunch of shit, if you ask me. That makes no sense. Good morning, Sunday morning, November 3rd. We're only a couple days away from good old election day. Can't wait until it's over with. How many accidents do you think we're going to have this time? What do you mean? You know we always get all the accidents for the election. It's always like on Tuesday. Like Tuesday we get accidents Because what happens is that past, like there's the left lane where they're turning and then people open up to let somebody through, and then there's other people flying by.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because the speed limit I've always said is too fast on 254. It people flying by? Yeah, because that's the speed limit I've always said it's too fast on 254. It's like 45 miles an hour is the speed limit. So we're coming, they're coming up and say they're heading eastbound and they're turning, taking a left turn into the. So then the people that are heading westbound want to turn down the street next to the bar or on another street to the family dollar, and it's backed up and they can't see the traffic and they just pull out and there's somebody 45 miles an hour, just wham. I mean it's like two or three every election.

Speaker 1:

Remember the one lady got into it twice in the same day. That was crazy.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, she came in and she was drinking wine and her mom came and picked her up and they did the same thing Pulled out, bang, and then they both came in and were drinking wine.

Speaker 1:

That shit was funny as hell and his daughter was laughing at this shit.

Speaker 2:

It was crazy. Yeah, oh, the election is like too much man, that's freaking. I'm ready for it to be over.

Speaker 1:

You ready? Yeah, I'm ready, I've been ready. This shit's crazy, it's got so many people divided.

Speaker 2:

It's unreal. The what does he say? So, guys, the guy on the school job ends up with a broken hip and broken pelvis and someone is going to have some problems. I don't know what he's talking about. What school job? I don't get it, I don't know. Anyways, yeah, this week's been crazy too. This week's been nuts with all the different shit going on. If Trump loses, there's only one man to blame Tony Inchman.

Speaker 1:

That killed Tony up on, First of all when I seen him on there.

Speaker 2:

I'm like why did he have? Like, why is he on there? Like he's giving a speech at the Madison Square Garden.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I don't know whose idea. It must have been a guy that worked for Trump, that really didn't want Trump to win.

Speaker 2:

Well, he's friends with all those people, because he always does like, when he does kill Tony, he's always got like Theo Vaughn, joe Rogan, all these people that Trump's went and done their podcast so it's like I mean I'm guessing that's the circle that he was kind of staying in, but dude, that's not the guy man. Everything he said, remember he said something about Kevin Hart's ancestors deadlifted cotton when they were picking cotton. Jesus, I mean, he says racist shit and it's funny. Funny.

Speaker 1:

I'm not saying it's not funny, but anybody can say funny racist shit, but that's not in our culture now we just don't do that he does it every day on kill tony and he's stupid.

Speaker 2:

It's kind of funny. I don't care how funny it is, I laugh hysterically. Oh, the job in a superintendent dropped a load of panels on top of someone. Oh my God, at that Cleveland Catholic job. Is that the one he's talking about? Cleveland Catholic, the one I've been on? That's not good. That guy that's running that job he's kind of like a der-der-der. He has no clue. He has no business running that job. Dirt, dirt. He like has no clue. You know, I don't, he has no business running that job. Clearly he has no, but anyways, yeah, so kill tony is the one who killed trump's campaign of trump loses was all.

Speaker 1:

Put it all on one man.

Speaker 2:

It's definitely on him dude, you went to new york and called puerto ricans. Well, he called Puerto Rico garbage and I guess, from what I understand, it's a play on the fact that they're having problems getting rid of their garbage, just like New York.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they're sanitary, he said, not like New York. It's worse because they're on an island. There's nowhere to put it, there's nowhere for it to go. So I mean it's, I get it. I understand that. You know what. I mean, that that it is a political joke to some degree, but that's not how it came across. Dude, you got to. Whoever read that should have said yeah, cross that off, that should not be on there. And it's like you would think that's the death. But then there's other people that go. Man, if you think that that's fake or if that was like just by accident, by happenstance, there you go. There's no way. They said that Kamala Harris issued a personal statement to how she loves Puerto Rican within minutes of that being said, within minutes. So they're like trying to say basically that Tony Hinchman's like in on it with them trying to say she's Puerto Rican?

Speaker 2:

Oh no, she. She came up there and she said Puerto Rican. Now, oh no, she came up there and she said listen, papi, no, she just was listening and saying something about she understands the Puerto Rican people and this and that, and it was minutes, so it was a prerecorded statement that got released as soon as Henchman got finished. So it is kind of shady a little bit, but trump's got people on his side because joe biden went right out there and was like god, he's like I got your back, he goes, he goes, he goes. Uh, the only garbage I see is the trump supporters, and that was that boy whoo that every so all of a sudden, now Trump and henchmen are off the hook and it's all about Biden Trump showing up in a garbage truck. Man, he is the fucking trolling, his dude ever Like that. That dude is the biggest troll ever Like you. Don't ever want to say no dumb shit to him, because he will make you pay for it.

Speaker 1:

Is he like the white 50 cent?

Speaker 2:

I mean he's kind of gangster. I mean it's kind of gangster, it really is. But it's, it's, it's a shit. He does is so ridiculous. Like I look at it and go that is ridiculous. But it sets well with everybody. Everybody loves it.

Speaker 2:

He shows up and gets in that garbage. Did you see him get in the garbage truck? I seen a picture of it. So it's funny because when he goes to get in, he's like he barely gets the door, like kind of like he kind of almost misses getting the door and he's, he jumps up and there seems to be no problem. But then at the, at his rally after the fact, when he's got the vest on, he admits he goes, dude I, he goes, I was so nervous I the vest on. He admits he goes dude I, he goes, I was so nervous, I opened that door, that first step, he goes. It's up here, he goes, he goes. I'm like I don't know if I could do it. You know he says I muscled up the courage and got in there and lifted myself up. He's funny as shit. But I really don't know. I mean I almost want to say trump has to win. Everybody, everybody. I, for the most part that I know, was Trump supporter and it's like.

Speaker 1:

It just seems like if she, if he doesn't win, it's gotta be I know, I know for a fact that went Ohio man, everywhere I go, it's crazy.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but I feel like that's what it's like everywhere.

Speaker 2:

I don't know about that but I know Ohio is like that. I go down these back country roads and there's nothing but Trump signs. But the problem with that is that's the whole thing with the electoral college, because them country roads don't get as many you know electeds that you get in the bigger cities like Cleveland, more people concentrated Right and the more concentrated people tend to vote Democrat and that's why they have the electoral college. There's people that say, oh, you got to get rid of it. You want the popular vote, the popular vote. But then you've got basically California, chicago, cleveland, new York deciding everything for the country. And then what about the guy in Oklahoma with a farm? I mean, his voice ain't heard at all because he don't live in the city. You know what I mean. So I mean I always have agreed with the electoral college, but there's a lot of people who go, oh, it should be popular vote. And it's funny to me because a lot of them are Trump supporters. It's like Trump's never won the popular vote ever. That's never happened. Yet he lost it to Hillary, he lost it to Biden. He's never won the popular vote ever.

Speaker 2:

I watched that Reagan movie too. You know that new movie that just came out, reagan. I seen a clip of it. I ain't watch it. It's a horrible movie. I'm just going to say it. It's not a good movie. I mean it's a. It's a story's good Reagan's story's good. Reagan was a good man. But that movie whoever made it there, to garbage. They shouldn't be making movies. They don't know what the hell they're doing. It's gotta be one of worst put together movies I've ever seen.

Speaker 1:

Honestly, I swear to.

Speaker 2:

God, what did it depict them as Well. The whole, the whole premise of it is basically they have somebody go talk to a KGB agent that supposedly followed Reagan through his career you know what I mean and he starts telling the stories, basically, and then they flash back to Reagan. But they did, but they hit so little of what's going on in Reagan's life. It's just, it's like these little flashing of pans, that's all it is. They just keep showing all these little flashing of pans of Reagan's life and it's, it's just stupid. It's just it's. It's. It's a bad movie. I'm sorry. It is worth the watch If you're a Reagan, if you want to, if you want to learn about Reagan there is stuff to learn about Reagan but the movies put together like shit.

Speaker 2:

It's like I'm trying to think what? Like there was a couple movies that I, I, there's a lot of movies. Like there's been a couple movies like that that I know of, like it's just like what the hell? Whoever put it together doesn't need to be in Hollywood. They don't need to be making movies. They should be fired. They should never produce a movie ever again and I don't even know who it was, but they should never produce a movie again, because that is the worst put-together movie I've ever seen. I feel like me and you could have put the movie together better with no knowledge whatsoever.

Speaker 2:

It's that bad. It's pretty bad. It's pretty bad and I was. It's it's pretty bad and I was looking forward to it. I was excited about it. I'm I love Reagan. I always thought Reagan was a great president. You know what I mean. Then, all of a sudden, I watched this and it's like what the hell? And not to say the story's off. I mean they're not telling the story wrong or anything like that. I don't mean anything like that. I'm talking artistic value of the movie sucks. That's all I'm saying. Or today's the last day. You can early vote too. You're gonna go vote? Uh, no, not at all, not even a little bit. No, no, no, your voice don't want to be heard.

Speaker 1:

Nope, even after you called your motherland garbage.

Speaker 2:

Nope, that does nothing for you, nothing. No, did you see Cardi B's speech? No, dude, the worst thing I have. That was worse than the Reagan movie. What, what, what'd you do? Her teleprompter goes down, so she has the wing it? No, no, she doesn't do that. Instead of doing that, she, freaking, has her assistant run her cell phone up to her and she sits here like this at the teleprompter and reads it off her cell phone. Horrible, horrible, like this. She's sitting here, going.

Speaker 2:

You know telling the story and you know, I know I said I wasn't going to vote for nobody in this election and you know this and that blah, blah, blah and that changed. Of course you know talking that blah, blah, blah and that change. Of course you know talking like cardi b does or whatever, but it was horrible, it was. It was like it was the most like insulting thing I've ever seen in my life. Actually, who's she voting for? It was, she was at a harris. It was a harris event. Yeah, she was at a harris event.

Speaker 2:

But, yeah, she's got a cell phone and she's just like talking right out of like because her teleprompter is gone. So she's like go, she's got a cell phone and she's just like talking right out of like cause. Her teleprompter is gone, so she's like go. And she's like, ah, it's awkward dude. She's just like bring it, come on. Like she's waiting for her to bring it up and I'm I'm not talking. This takes like 10 seconds. This is like a full on minute and a half. She's up on stage waiting for her cell, stare at her phone and just read it right out of her phone. Wow, it was wild. I'm like you got to be kidding me. We should put that up. I can't believe you haven't seen that. I would have thought for sure you would have seen that one. Let me see if I can find it real quick, man.

Speaker 1:

I work six days a week, man, I ain't got time to look at that shit.

Speaker 2:

Well, you know, with me I catch it. You know what I mean. I catch like a clip of it and then I got to go see it after I catch it.

Speaker 1:

Well, I'm saying you sit here and you do some paperwork and stuff, so then you put that kind of stuff on. You know, yeah, while I'm doing it, yeah for sure I can't be driving down the road and just start looking at stuff on the. I didn't watch Saturday.

Speaker 2:

Night Live last night and I really meant to. I bet it was real good here it goes right here, so let me get it up here, all right.

Speaker 3:

Vice President Kamala Harris, thank you for having me. I do not take lightly the call to show up, the call to speak up, the call to deliver a message that's been on my heart for a hot minute now.

Speaker 2:

Now I took my time writing this speech, so I'm going to make sure I deliver it right.

Speaker 3:

Because I got something I've been wanting to say for a long time. I've been saying it on Twitter, on my Instagram, and I'm ready to tell it to you now. Y'all ready to?

Speaker 2:

listen. You ain't got video. It's up there. Y'all ready to listen? It's up there.

Speaker 3:

Alright. Just like Kamala Harris, I too have been the underdog.

Speaker 2:

I've been underestimating.

Speaker 3:

My success belittled and discredited. Let me tell you something.

Speaker 2:

Let me tell you something. Women have to work 10 times harder.

Speaker 3:

Perform 10 times better and still people question us how we got to the top.

Speaker 2:

Let me warm up yeah let me tell you something I can't stand a bully. I always stand up to one. Let me tell you something I can't stand a bully because there's no teleprompter.

Speaker 3:

I always stand up to one all the time. I'm ready for them and I'm going to be real with y'all. I wasn't going to vote this year. I wasn't but Kamala Harris joining the race.

Speaker 2:

She changed my mind.

Speaker 3:

Completely.

Speaker 2:

I did not have faith on any candidate until she joined the race and said the things that I wanted to hear, that I want to see next in this country. All right, I believe in every word that comes out of her mouth, she's passionate, she's passionate, she's compassionate, she shows empathy and, most of all, she is not delusional.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, kamala recognized that this country is that great.

Speaker 2:

I think I've seen enough of that. So it's a bad speech right off the bat rip. But then to do it through your phone like that literally she's looking off to the side of her phone the whole time like that's, that's horrible, that's absolutely horrible. And kamala has done that too, where she's got the teleprompter up and it just shuts down and she just goes into a word salad. You know what I mean? I just can't believe people would vote for her. I just can't believe it. And they are, they're out there. I know they're out there, but I just can't believe they would vote for her. Well, we ain't got much more. So, man, yeah, no, I know I want JD Vance. That's who I like. I like. Have you been watching anything with him? I did see something with him, man.

Speaker 3:

I like him.

Speaker 2:

I really like him and he's like us. Like he grew up like. You know what I mean, not like you. You got. You grew up in, you know what I mean. You grew up with, you know highfalutin and all that stuff. But I'm talking about like you know, like us South Iranians us normal South Iranians.

Speaker 2:

No, he's like raised by his grandma, like his mom's on drugs, like he grew up like in Ohio, like in a you know poor town. You know what I mean it. Just what city is he from? I don't know, I forget where it is. It's up there somewhere. It's up what? By Columbus, I think it's closer to cincinnati. I think like kind of more. I think more like well, let's find out. We could ask. It's a simple, simple solution to find out where he's from.

Speaker 2:

I don't really care that much. You asked a question, so evidently you care a little bit, not really, but but he's like I know, like his. He had family from, well, like kentucky, I know that's where, like why he would say he was a hillbilly or whatever, the hillbilly elegy or whatever. It was middletown, yeah, middletown Ohio. Yeah, middletown Ohio. That's right. Now that I see it, I'm like, yeah, that's what I remember now, but, yeah, I feel like he gets it. I feel like he's more, because that's one of the problems with Trump. Trump seems like he gets it, he comes across to people, he connects with people, but, dude, he didn't live a life like us, like I mean this, dude, you know what I'm saying like none of our parents were spotting us a couple million to get started with our first you know big building or anything like that.

Speaker 2:

This guy, like actually made it. You know what I mean, whether that means, or he's, you know, gonna stick to that. It seems like he is, though seems like he can't be broken, like when I. That's what I like about him mostly is that it seems like he can't be broken, like he just they can interview him. He doesn't spit out word salads, he gives you direct answers and he's on it and he's not, and he always knows where he stands with it. That's never a question. He knows immediately where he stands with every issue, and I would say that most of them are where I would stand. You know what I mean. It seems like just common sense, you know, although Trump seems that way too, but Trump just can't understand what we understand. I mean, he's our whole life's been an icon, right? Do you ever remember him not being famous?

Speaker 1:

no, he was back in fresh prince of bel-air. He's on that. He's always in something. Yeah, I don't remember him not being a thing, like he was always even even like people's punch lines would say you know something about trump, you know.

Speaker 2:

I'm saying yeah yeah, rappers would run them in there. For, yeah, I mean, it's just, he's just been, he's an icon of america, regardless of I mean yeah, whether, whether you like his politics or not, he's always been there yeah, he, yeah, he's a huge icon of america, 100 before politics.

Speaker 2:

Like, when you're talking about him, like whether you see him with reagan or doing oprah winfrey shows or any of that stuff, he's always just been an american icon and reagan wasn't that like. Reagan wasn't. Reagan was like not, he is to this day, but when he was younger he was before. He was a president, I mean, and a governor and stuff like that. His hollywood career wasn't like. He was this, you know, marilyn Monroe or Donald Trump or you know, I mean, he wasn't that.

Speaker 1:

Ronald Reagan was pretty big back then.

Speaker 2:

No, he's like a B movie actor. He wasn't in it. He was like in a lot of Westerns and stuff. That's about it, though I mean it wasn't. He wasn't a big actor, he wasn't. He wasn't a big actor, he wasn't.

Speaker 2:

Ronald Reagan was an actor, but he wasn't a huge actor. In fact, that that's in that movie. That's one of the things. Like when he meets Nancy Reagan, he's like I haven't acted in a long time. I'm kind of broke. You know what I mean. He says that all that stuff to her he wasn't doing real well.

Speaker 2:

He was actually working as a for the actor's union. He was like their, their, whatever, their business agent or whatever you want to call it. He was running the screen actors guild supposedly he's the one that got him insurance and stuff, but he wasn't like that. He wasn't like a trump. That was like trump was just famous, you know. I mean in a whole different level. You know, know, he's an American icon. Whether he ever became president or not, he was synonymous with the United States, you know, and his buildings are plastered all over the United States and the world really. But yeah, anyways, yeah, I'm ready for this all to be over with, but with all the different stuff going on this week. You know what I mean. It was too funny I should have watched. I really wish I would have watched Saturday Night Live last night. They probably had a lot of good skits on there last night.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I'm sure they did.

Speaker 2:

Because they got all the different. You know, with the Trump and then Dallas Mavericks too, did you see that he come out and said what did he say? Trump is afraid to surround himself with strong women. That's what he said. So now they're just like he's just getting bombarded and I think he says it on the View where a woman that used to work for Trump is on the View, like to her. Even the View goes well, I don't know about it. So he's been getting pummeled with that like that. He doesn't surround himself with strong women.

Speaker 1:

You know it's funny when people say something that they like. They make a mistake and they say something out their mouth, but that sticks to you, especially when you're in the public eye.

Speaker 2:

Oh, yeah, you gotta watch and I and I do it and I I don't even realize what it does. Like it's happened, like different things, like the turkey incident you brought up, like when the kid came over and looking for a turkey, I don don't even think about it, like I just at least with them they get the chance to know because it's in the public eye. But like when I did that until you said something what is this? Now, 15 years later, I had no clue about it. I had no clue. And other people have told me different things that I've said that I didn't even think about, and then that just stuck with them.

Speaker 1:

But what I'm just saying. Imagine if it was in the public view.

Speaker 2:

Well, at least you'd know right away, though At least you're like, oh, don't do that again. Slap you right in the face.

Speaker 2:

In my case, like I could be saying it forever, doing it and pissing people off all the way down there down the line. Just don't get it until you like what? Oh yeah, it's spending people or whatever. Yeah, right, right, yeah, I just yeah, he got he. Well, I think I don't know what dallas maverick? Because he was for support. He was supporting trump in 2016 and now all of a sudden, he's not and he runs all these gimmicks like and there's, there's all bullshit. Most of what he says is bullshit like this. Like he says that china whooped his ass. It's like he was actually taking in money from china. It's like where does he come up with this shit? You know what I mean? And we were oil independent. They don't he it. Just I don't get why. What, the why is he doing that? It doesn't make sense and he's a business owner you wouldn't see him benefiting from I wouldn't think anyway, unless you have, like a real estate portfolio and you want it to keep skyrocketing.

Speaker 1:

Man, that's another thing I was driving, delivering concrete. You go down all these country roads. Development, development, development everywhere. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Who? Who's buying these houses?

Speaker 1:

I don't know, but they're making them and they're sold as soon as they get put up. They're sold before they put them up.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, who's buying them? That's what I want to know. But they're going. I don't. I mean, I don't understand it. I see people with good jobs. You know what I mean. Like you know what I mean. Like, honestly good jobs, like like, well, russ is what, for instance, I mean russ wasn't looking at those houses. It's like that's out of your price range. You can't. I mean, what are people doing?

Speaker 1:

it doesn't make sense I don't understand any of it, yeah the models are going up every development. We go to import new streets and stuff and I'm like wow, where who's buying these? But they're sold before they even get done.

Speaker 2:

I don't understand it. I don't know who's buying them. I remember thinking that though, like when I went out to Medina when I was young, like 20 years old, and there was all those nice houses, and I'm thinking the hell buying all these houses out here, Because it's all new development. You know who the hell is buying these, but I mean, evidently somebody is, but I guess we just don't know those people.

Speaker 1:

I guess I don't know any of them, cause I, I mean, I, I, you know what, I I just don't understand how it's so many. I'm like, holy shit, the driveway's even put in yet and the people are moving in and shit, that's how fast they're selling, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm like, wow, I don't get it, dude, I really don't, I don't understand it, I really don't, and I'm set. I mean, I don't, I, I guess I just don't understand it. But every day we're going from one development to another development to pouring streets, you know, and then that ends up being a development Very little of what's going on in the whole world or in Ohio, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1:

But I'd be just thinking about damn, most of that shit was farmland. You know what I'm saying. So what are we going to do after that?

Speaker 2:

Oh, we're fine. Are you kidding me? You just went with me. We drove down to take that car to my dad in West Virginia. How much like just open forestry, did you see? Just from here to there, three hour drive, dude, that's all it was Open forestry. People always say that like, oh, we're going to use up there. You know how much we would take that.

Speaker 1:

No, no, no. I'm saying why would you take a farmland and use that instead of, like you saying forestry, clear that area and start over there? Why don't you just leave that as a farm?

Speaker 2:

Oh, because I think, because they're buying all their farm foods from overseas. I think, yeah, that's stupid. Yeah, I think so. I don't know. I don't know what that is. It used to be. The government paid farmers to grow shit right.

Speaker 1:

They used to pay them not to grow shit too. Yeah, they used to. I don't know how that shit works. I ain't going to sit here and lie.

Speaker 2:

No, but I think they used to do that, but I don't think they do it anymore. I don't know. Did you turn your light on or no? Hell. No, that's why your eyes are all shadowed. Yeah, you trying to hide a black eye? No, no.

Speaker 2:

You getting a fight over the weekend? No, yeah, you got to get that shadow out of there. You know what? I have one person my hat. I've been so excited about this hat I get it. One person made a comment on it and that was it. Just one person, and it was a guy.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I bet it was one person.

Speaker 2:

I go what the hell I got this funny ass hat. Nobody even sees it. Yeah, see, that's not.

Speaker 1:

So you're trying to draw attention to your hat right now. That's not being funny. What's not being funny? Having to draw attention to it. No, I know, that's what I'm saying. That's not being funny Having to draw attention to it.

Speaker 2:

No, I know that's what I'm saying. That's a waste of time. It pisses me off. I haven't had that's what I said. I've been wearing it for like three or four days now. One person noticed what it said. That's it. Yeah, just one person In four days. One person's noticed it you know what I mean.

Speaker 1:

I noticed yours said Mac, that's all I'm saying, that's right I?

Speaker 2:

didn't even have to tell you Mm-mm. Nope, I just noticed it. It's just how it happened, just naturally, right? I don't understand, but um.

Speaker 1:

Speaking of Mac, that's some pretty good concrete Is it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's good concrete, yeah it's better than consumers was.

Speaker 1:

I think it's pretty much the same. I'm not sure, but consumer always had good, concrete oh did they?

Speaker 2:

Oh, okay, I thought terminal was the one you said had the best concrete.

Speaker 1:

They started. I don't know. I don't want to say it because I don't want to get in trouble or lawsuits or anything but allegedly it's different now than what it used to be so I don't know, huh, but to some of the guys that run the road, crew came and did a job with me and they liked it that work for terminal.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they like that better. I'm gonna say better, but they liked it oh okay, but they didn't say better or worse.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, no, they said it finished. Real nice.

Speaker 2:

So they liked it. How does that make, I wonder, what makes it finish better or not better, I wonder. I just can't, I don't know, because maybe it finishes nicer, but maybe it's not as strong, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

They get tested all the time, just like all of them. No, I know, but it could be. Could be, though, is all I'm saying. That's a possibility. That's like people say that ECI looks a little browner. You know what I mean? I don't know. Well, I mess with Darrell all the time because he drives for them and I'm like, oh, you guys are selling that mud. He gets mad. I said you guys are selling that mud Because it looks browner.

Speaker 2:

That's probably just where you get your sand from, I would imagine I don't know what it is, I just mess with it Because sand is a different color.

Speaker 1:

When it dries, it doesn't look brown.

Speaker 2:

I was going to say mine at my driveway doesn't look brown at all. No, but I mean, except for that spot that's low and the mud sitting in there, yeah, the actual mud, mud, because it's. I swear man, we both swear that shit was shy and it had to have been. I've got a video of us when we, when we stopped the second truck. Dude, there's no way, that's three yards. Oh hell, no, there's no way. I've got a video right when we stopped the second truck. There's no way there was three yards. My opinion I think it was short. Yeah, I do too 100, and I think they did it on purpose because we dragged it out too long. I think it was a fuck you.

Speaker 2:

I don't think so you don't think so.

Speaker 1:

Because when you take longer, they just charge you for it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they charge the shit out of me, but that don't mean you don't go fuck you? I don't think so, because they don't care. The guy that's sending it out, he don't give a fuck. He don't care. No, fuck. He don't care. No, because you're charging more. He doesn't give a shit. He's just got to stay longer, so he's got to get his fucking dick in your ass too.

Speaker 1:

You know what I'm saying. Yeah, but I'm saying they did when they charge you for the no, they did, but not the guy that fucking loaded the concrete.

Speaker 2:

He's like, yeah, fuck these motherfuckers, I should be home right now. I don't think so, then you don't know people, because people are fucked up. I say that all the time. People are really fucked up, and this, this election, proves that more than anything. How fucked up people are.

Speaker 1:

This guy really got my shit for driving down the road a little quick and I was like, well, I think I was doing the speed limit. It was like 35, maybe 25. I don't know, but anyways I was in the speed limit. I 5, maybe 25, I don't know, but anyways I was in the speed limit. I think you know you ain't looking down at the thing constantly, but I don't think I was speeding. Did you look down at it at all? Nah, I'm just saying I wasn't speeding. Or okay, say I was, say I was going over five miles over the speed limit, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

And uh, but you know me, I don't speed. I got a challenger, I don't speed. But you know me, I don't speed. I got a Challenger, I don't speed. I see little old ladies pass me all the time and I'm like I'm in a Challenger. I'm like go ahead and get that ticket, but anyways, I get to the job and he's like why are you flying down the street? I'm like what the hell are you talking about? And then he's just like I got flying down the street, who?

Speaker 2:

was yelling at you. Was it a worker? It?

Speaker 1:

was a worker. It wasn't even a boss, yeah, it was a worker. So then I go, I look at him and I'm like is this guy kidding or is he really being an ass? So I'm up on top putting in the calcium and shit and he's like, yeah, yeah, I'm not even playing. I'm like, well, dude, I wasn't speeding. I said, even if I was give me a ticket, like what is it to you? You?

Speaker 2:

can't back that up. What that you weren't speeding? You didn't look at the speedometer. I don't care if I was speeding.

Speaker 1:

That ain't for him to say I'm like, well, give me a ticket. That's what I told him. He got the neighborhood. They're all our children, they're in the neighborhood.

Speaker 2:

It takes a village to raise a child. Well then, somebody should be watching that kid, right? Somebody should be watching the asshole driving down the street at 100 miles an hour.

Speaker 1:

I wasn't driving like that. You know, I don't drive like that.

Speaker 2:

first of all, you can't back that up. You didn't look at your speedometer.

Speaker 1:

Let's go from past experiences how many speeding tickets have I got? I don't know how many I got one back in 80. No, it was probably 90, so it is in you. No, so you just haven't been busted. No, I don't, really, I don't speed. I don't. People get so mad when they're with me they they're like damn dude, at least go to speed limit. You know what I mean. But anyways, that ain't for him to say.

Speaker 2:

It is, it is for him to say.

Speaker 1:

If you're actually speeding.

Speaker 2:

Yes, it is If you come speeding down my road, I'm going to say something to you. So what, that doesn't mean nothing to me, but I'm going to, if you come down my street.

Speaker 1:

I'll say give me a ticket. I'll say the same thing. I told him Give me a ticket.

Speaker 2:

My kids play out there. That doesn't give you the right. I mean, there's got to be some sort of general respect for the community. But I wasn't speeding. I'm not saying you were, but if you were, I'm going to say something in my neighborhood because the kids are always on the street playing.

Speaker 1:

I'll tell you the same thing.

Speaker 2:

Give me a ticket and I'll tell you that you're a fucking asshole and I'll say you're a fucking asshole for addressing me.

Speaker 1:

Yep, that's probably what happened? Then I will go down your street faster and then I'll call the police.

Speaker 2:

And then so what? You got no clock on it.

Speaker 1:

They ain't going to be able to tell you what you, how fast you was going, yeah.

Speaker 2:

You can't do that. Kids man, there's got to be some sort of there's got to be some sort of like uh, uh, what's the word? Like there's got, like we've got to be nice, to like we've got to look out for each other man, that's awesome.

Speaker 1:

I sound what kind of kind of like a little what's it called karen father karen no a father a father the word you're looking for is father.

Speaker 2:

It's father? No, it's not. When you come speeding down a road where kids play, that's just being a good father being out there cussing and yelling.

Speaker 1:

It's just what it is, but that would just make me go faster. It would.

Speaker 2:

Well then, that makes you a bigger asshole. That's right, because you're endangering children's lives.

Speaker 1:

There was no kids out. It was 6 o'clock in the damn morning.

Speaker 2:

Well, you know, they probably could go to school at that time.

Speaker 1:

Well then, there should be a parent watching them.

Speaker 2:

Don't go walk to school. Did your parents watch you go to school?

Speaker 1:

At that age I would be in the middle of the street. Look, it's wide open, you can see everything. You're going down the road, so you would see a kid.

Speaker 2:

Right, so he knows how fast you were going.

Speaker 1:

He doesn't know how fast I was going, he's seen it, it was wide open, you just said it. Yeah, he got some radar clocking thing in his eye or something. Maybe.

Speaker 2:

He just judges it by the other cars that go down there with a reasonable speed.

Speaker 1:

And then I was looking at the other cars going by. After I backed up in the driveway they was flying down that street.

Speaker 2:

No residential neighborhood like that. That's 35 miles an hour. It's like 25.

Speaker 1:

But it was back country road, but it was in a development, wasn't it?

Speaker 2:

No, oh, it wasn't in a development home.

Speaker 1:

Country road, and then you see the one or two of them flying down that street.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm not on a country road, I'm on a dead end street.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so if somebody flies down your street that's a little different.

Speaker 2:

Well, yeah, cause the kids are out there playing. But if he's got kids out, there playing same thing though.

Speaker 1:

So if I went down your street and say it's 25 and I was going 30, which I'm sure you go 30. I don't even know if there's a speed limit on my street. There's a speed limit, it's automatic 25.

Speaker 2:

I know, but I don't think it's like posted. No, no, it's not posted, not that I know of.

Speaker 1:

Anyways, you go faster down your street than 25. I know that. No, I go 15, maybe 20.

Speaker 2:

I'm worried about the kids. The kids are always out there and they're young. All it takes is for one to run out. But you know, when Lexa was a kid at Palm in kindergarten, when Palm was at kindergarten, I was coming through there slow. I was going slow. I'm coming through and I mean out of nowhere, this kid just jumps out in front and I'm like I slam on the brakes. I don't hit the kid, but I'm close. You know what I mean. And it it it fucked with me. I mean for probably like three or four days. I'm like man, I could have killed that kid. You know what I mean. That could have really happened and the kid jumped out. It would have been the kid's fault. It happens all the time around there. Yeah, it would have been the kid's fault for sure. I'm not saying I was going slow.

Speaker 2:

You didn't go to Palm, did you? No, I didn't go to Palm, I went to Palm. No, I didn't go. I started in Vincent actually, because my mom and dad were together on Woodward, where Rowdy lives, and I went to Vincent and then my mom moved in with my grandparents.

Speaker 1:

I went to Homewood after that. Homewood was a good school.

Speaker 2:

I don't know. All I know is Alexa had a teacher in Homewood. I remember going to her. Why do you keep punching my monitor? Shut up, jesus. My Alexa had a teacher in Homewood. That was. I'm not getting close, I'm not going to say her name. I should, though, but I remember I came in.

Speaker 2:

We came in for the parent-teacher conference, you know, and they, they come in and the teacher sits at a little like the little chairs like because it's like first grade or something. So she comes and sits as a little chairs with us. So we got to go sit on little chairs too, grown-ass people. We got to go sit on these little chairs. But I mean, my knees are like into my chest right as as as hers. The problem is she had double d's most of them out, barely any of them in her freaking top, in a skirt, in this dress, straight down. It was nasty, big, fat, fat titty. It was so gross, dude, so nasty. So what's your moral? I don't know. When I think of that school district, that's what I think of, because I mean, why wouldn't somebody come say what are you doing? Isn't that okay? Is that okay or not Okay? What?

Speaker 2:

Like for the principal that's running it to go. Hey, that's no, that's no good. You can't go visit parents like that. Is that okay now? Or is that like shaming them or something, I don't know, because that's it was fucking nasty, dude. There's no, they're like that. No, that, there's no, it was bad. I mean, when I say it was bad, it was bad, bad, I'm talking like you know them girls that come in here on on and they're kicking it and they shouldn't have skimpy shit on and they have it on anyways, and they're just out kicking it with their girls or whatever.

Speaker 2:

You know those girls, yeah, like that. That's how she showed up at the parent-teacher conference and sat in a chair like that.

Speaker 1:

You're just trying to cover up because you re-enrolled in school.

Speaker 2:

I mean that's nasty, but are you allowed to say something to them?

Speaker 1:

Can you say something like that no, because then it'll cause all kinds of shit.

Speaker 2:

So how come the kids can have a dress code but the teachers you can't give them one? I'm sure they gotta be some kind of appropriate. I don't know. There can't be because there was nothing appropriate about that. Well, I take that back. There couldn't have been. That, I mean, now is a whole different story, but at that point in time there's no possible way there was any sort of trust code for the adults, because that was just like. It was bad dude, it was literally like a big girl on her night out, like wearing shit she shouldn't have wore for sure. Hundred percent tits all hanging out like bad, I would say. I would say I could see 60 of her tits, a teacher and I could see. I'd have seen her panties if she didn't have such fat thighs. True story, that's how. Because she's sitting in his chair, knees are aimed right up at you you know what I'm saying Sitting right in front of you. Why would you do that?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, why wouldn't you just sit at a regular chair?

Speaker 2:

Why wouldn't you do that? Why would you sit behind your desk Right? Why would but? But? Are is the principal allowed to say something to them? Probably not.

Speaker 1:

Probably because they'll probably get some backlash and get sued. I don't know, weird shit everywhere.

Speaker 2:

Isn't that the problem with the whole country? We can't just be honest about anything, right? That's just not acceptable. Remember when we were kids, it was dress for the job you want. Remember that that's what they would say. Dress to impress yeah, dress for the job you want. Now it's like you just do whatever.

Speaker 1:

Whatever the fuck you feel like you know what I mean, you do and everybody else just has to deal with it.

Speaker 2:

That's just how it is. That's that's what it is, you know, like you say about it wanting to be a cat or something, oh yeah, yeah, they want to be a cat. You need friends that go. No, you stupid motherfucker, meow, meow, meow. Right, you know you need that and that's the problem, I think. And it's going on, and that's a perfect example. Somebody should have said something to her, why didn't you? Why didn't you step up? Why didn't I, as the dad?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, why didn't you go to the principal and say look at this shit. Why didn't you do that?

Speaker 2:

I might have, you might have, you should have. I think I might have. Actually, I think we did say something, yeah, did it change anything. I don't know, because I didn't go to a parent-teacher conference anymore. We moved to Albrecht. You were shocked after that you had to move. Bad dude it was, it was, it was bad. I'm not, I'm not, you know. I mean, it was bad. No, that, and that's who's teaching your kid. You know, that's the biggest problem. This is the person. How would you?

Speaker 1:

say back then she was 40, huh, was she about 40?

Speaker 2:

30, 30, yeah, 30, yeah. I would say 30. Big 30, though Big 30. Big 30?.

Speaker 1:

She had been.

Speaker 2:

Big three oh. She was like 30, but she had ate enough food to be 60.

Speaker 1:

See you're Yo. You're going to get us kicked out, this motherfucker again.

Speaker 2:

She ate 60 years worth of meals is all I'm saying. That's not good, which is fine. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it, but don't fucking come on with your tits out and your freaking in a mini skirt. Like there was nothing to be proud of. Well yeah, what if she wasn't big?

Speaker 1:

What if she wasn't big? And I saw 60% of boobs, yeah, what if she wasn't a big girl?

Speaker 2:

pretty girl nice body with my daughter. No, no at your teacher conference yeah, and she's teaching my daughter.

Speaker 2:

Hell, no, that was always my bitch with disney. You're talking britney's britney spears and uh and uh, what was her? Christina aguilera? Oh, and all them. They were dressed like whores and all of a sudden, lexa wants to wear crop tops and you're trying to tell her no, but this is what she's watching on Disney. No, yeah, I don't want a teacher there that's got 60% of her tits out. No, I don't care how skinny she is At all. No, hell, no, I don't want that.

Speaker 1:

You'd whisper to her like look, you're dressed inappropriate if she was fine. No, you went and told the principal.

Speaker 2:

No, I'd had my wife do it like I did that time and then you'd say, but you could come to the bar later. No, it was bad dude, I'm telling you it was bad, that was bad it was, it was nasty and it. You don't want your freaking, you don't want your daughter seeing that, you just don't. I'm telling you it was bad, that was bad it was, it was nasty and you don't want your freaking, you don't want your daughter.

Speaker 1:

Seeing that you just don't.

Speaker 2:

I'm just talking shit that's one of those, like I said, dress the way. I mean, it's a respecting, it's just like. I'll give you another example that I never liked. Alexa used to do this cheer and it used to irritate me, and maybe I'm a little bit too much, maybe, but I think I'm not. I think that, like we need more, like more of this and we need more parents that think like I do in this world. But the cheer was something like the girls go oopsie, and they would flip their back at her skirt up with their ass out, and the boys go, wow, that's what. That was a cheer. She was six, six years old. She's doing that. Come on, I'm like what the fuck is that? All of a sudden they stopped doing it because they heard me say I looked at Jen as soon as they did it. I looked at Jen. I go what the fuck was that? You know what I mean. And all of a sudden they quit doing the cheer. But I see when we go to the games now for Dylan, they're still doing that cheer.

Speaker 2:

Other places are Just, you shouldn't do it. There's no reason to do it. Honestly, I think they should put them back in the skirts that, like Becky Karras and Shelly Reber used to wear, instead of the ones they wear now. Now they're freaking. They're like the tiniest little things ever what they wear, at least.

Speaker 2:

Back then they covered it like they went almost to their knees. You know what I mean. They just put them back in those especially when they're little kids Spandex, and then they had the little skirt on top of it or something. They had a skirt, but it was like it was almost to their knees, like it was a lot, lot longer. It was double the length that they are today, for sure, and I'm not saying okay, in high school, whatever, but I mean little kids like no, there's no reason for that, there's, it's not necessary.

Speaker 2:

They could actually go out there and cheer in sweatpants and I think, just like the volleyball. Why in the world do we have to have volleyball tournaments where the girls are half naked? I happen to like that, I like to look at it, but there's no reason for it. It's absolutely insanity. Yeah, those volleyball outfits are ridiculously hot, but there's no reason for it. There's no reason. Like they say, oh, we want to respect women, this and that, all these different things, but yet we're going to have them play a sport and their ass hanging out.

Speaker 1:

Oh, okay, we must really respect them. Is that why you're starting the volleyball tournaments out here?

Speaker 2:

Coming next week. Anybody who wants to sign up for volleyball? We got the whole field out there. No, I mean. But seriously, though, I mean, am I right? Or I mean no, I think there's no need for it. I mean, I'm sure they were playing volleyball in the Olympics in the 50s. Do you think they were dressed like that? No, right, there's no reason for it. There's not.

Speaker 2:

And I'm not saying, I'm not trying to be too staunch, but I mean I'm raising daughters in this and I seen it and I was annoyed by it all the time, with the things that they did to daughters and the things that they like. Disney was one of the ones that I thought was absolutely the worst because they sexualized these kids. And now it's coming out, isn't it, that half the kids on Disney were all getting molested, boys and girls. They were all getting sick. You know what I mean. So it makes sense that that's why they were sexualizing them, because that's what they were doing, you know. But they were putting that in front of my kids, that I was trying to teach conservative values to. You know what I mean To be conservative daughters. You know what I mean.

Speaker 2:

And like Dylan, just Dylan's different. I don't know there's going to be a switch that hits, though, because you know you remember that switch. It's just like it's just like switches and you're just like it's all you can think about. But he's like I don't think he gives a shit about women right now at all, but yeah, that switch is bound to hit pretty soon. He's that, huh, oh, he turns 12 this month. So he's right at that age, be 12 years old, have to deal with all that bullshit.

Speaker 1:

Some girl coming around she said why talk politics if you're not planning on voting?

Speaker 2:

I'm voting. I don't know what she's talking about.

Speaker 1:

I'm only talking politics, because he is.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I just. We have Guido here for the token. Puerto rican, after all, you know they said that puerto rico was garbage, yeah and uh. What else did they say? I forget what else the other one was. I can't remember what it was, so we need them in here. Just to you know, to what's the word? What's that word called, I don't know?

Speaker 1:

cushion us, like the cushioning, or whatever what is it called, uh, pacify, or whatever? Yeah, whatever it is well, I mean that because I'm not voting, I ain't got a. I ain't got a, a valid opinion I don't feel like I'm talking politics right now.

Speaker 2:

I'm talking parenting.

Speaker 1:

What does that have to do with politics? I don't know when she sent it.

Speaker 2:

I've just seen it now, though I really don't feel like that's politics. I feel like that's just parenting right.

Speaker 1:

I think it's something that just happened with that guy's talking that shit. We're going to bring it up. I agree. I don't know what the hell me not voting has anything to do with it.

Speaker 2:

There's a lot of people. They say that men that's the scary part. They say men are the least likely to vote. Oh, that's the other thing Did you see that commercial?

Speaker 1:

You always say did you see? Did you see I?

Speaker 2:

don't see nothing, Dude. This commercial is telling women to sneak and vote for Kamala when your husband don't know.

Speaker 2:

Now they want you to just lie to your spouse, oh yeah, but it's even worse than that, because I feel like it's typical of them, like when they say that, like black people can't get ids to vote, so you can't allow, you know what I mean. They say it's racist to to force people to have to have an id. Yeah, yeah, yeah. To me it's like almost insulting, like you're telling black people that they're too stupid to go get an id. That's how they are treating them, right. I mean they're saying you can't by enforcing them to have an ID. It's racist, is what they're saying.

Speaker 1:

I've seen that. I've seen that so they're trying to say that anybody could vote without an ID, and that's what they're in California, it's almost illegal to ask for an ID wow, actually in California.

Speaker 2:

So I mean, the only reason to do that is election fraud. It has to be that's the only reason you would do that. There's no other possible reason that you would want to do that. But that goes right in line with this. Like, women don't think for themselves. They're like they're running that commercial, like when he's not looking. Just, you know, I and it's like I think it's Julia Roberts and they go in, go in and they vote, right, they go in and vote and then they come out and he goes. Did you do the right thing? Oh, yes, I did. You know what I mean. Like it's a whole like.

Speaker 1:

But you know, honestly, I don't think when you got a spouse or whatever, that's their opinion. You guys clearly talked about it enough. And when you go into that booth, that's up to you who you go, you know what I mean? Well, yeah, you, who you go, you know I mean well, yeah, and I think that most people would agree that women have their own minds, their own opinion.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but I believe that that's similar to the same, but it's it's insulting. It's actually insulting to women. To me, it's like you're. You're treating them like they're. They're being bullied by their husbands to vote for trump, right? I mean, isn't that what it's like? Or am I crazy? No, it sounds like mean. Isn't that what it's like? Or am I crazy? No, it sounds like that it sure does.

Speaker 1:

I mean it's disgusting right? Yeah, you go in that booth, you tell them you voted for Trump, vote for whoever you want.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, just lie to them. That's basically just lie to them. Don't tell your husband you're voting for Kamala. Just do it, but tell him you voted for Trump. Who cares I?

Speaker 1:

wouldn't say shit. Vote for whoever you want.

Speaker 2:

It's bizarre, though I mean that's like it's so like 1950s, like I feel like they feel like women are walking around like 1950s. First of all, women aren't like there's not too many housewives left.

Speaker 1:

There's very few, you know what I mean, except for maybe, like there's a few, but, but you're right, there's more majority of them out there working just like a man. Yeah, yeah, a lot of man jobs with their own opinion, right, with their own opinions.

Speaker 2:

They got a little mind on them, no no, not at all, not even a little bit. But it's just crazy to me that that's how little they think of women, how little they think of black people, how little they think of everybody you know what I mean.

Speaker 1:

I think that's both sides. They try to manipulate. I don't see that out of that.

Speaker 2:

I don't see that out of the right.

Speaker 1:

See, that's what I'm talking about. I can't wait until this shit's over.

Speaker 2:

I'm not saying that I don't see mind games, but I never see them belittle people to that extreme. How many more days we got? It's Tuesday, tuesday is it, thank God? Yeah, today's the last day you can early vote. Tomorrow you can't vote at all. And then Tuesday morning it's voting. Good, yeah, I'm excited too. I can't. I feel like we're ready to implode.

Speaker 2:

But you know, it was nice. We went trick or treating last week. You know we took Dylan trick or treating and we go up and we walk through the neighborhood or whatever, and there was definitely some Kamala Harris signs out. People were nice, everybody was getting along. Nobody was talking politics, said hi to people. It was, it was nice. Nobody was talking politics, said hi to people. It was nice.

Speaker 2:

I mean, the thing is with America is that it's there. You see all this fighting, but if you remember that, like 9-11, that like moment afterwards, like it was nice, like Americans really do want the best for each other and look out for it, but there's just so much like like nonsense spewed out there constantly and there's like all this, like my friend Krista, she's like she's full on, like she thinks the whole world's going to burn if it's not Trump. I'm like, are you crazy? Like, if Trump doesn't win, I'm just going to go to work the next day. You know what I mean. Like it's just going to be like that. I mean it's not. I don't think that. I think that it's going to be not good. I think it's not the best situation for the country.

Speaker 2:

I definitely believe Trump is the best situation for the country, but I don't think it's the end of the world. I don't. I mean not unless she lights off a nuke or something, but these people think that the whole world is going to come to an end. They just believe that wholeheartedly. People are crazy. It's nuts, it's absolutely nuts and that's like. I mean you see that, but you know what?

Speaker 1:

Every election they're like oh, if they get in they're going to do this. It never happened.

Speaker 2:

I don't think it's ever been this bad. I saw a thing that said that the only time it's been worse than this is Vietnam and the Civil War. That's it. And they say that they think this might be worse than Vietnam War was. That's what they say, but I doubt that. Vietnam, you had a lot of rioting going on, a lot of not rioting. It was like protesting, right. Yeah, there was a lot of protesting, but the country was completely split back then, I don't know, with hippies and non-hippies alike. That was before our time. It was before our time, but it shaped our time.

Speaker 1:

Sure did.

Speaker 2:

I mean, that's what shaped our time. Ain't really that many hippies, no more. But there was guys. There's a moment in that movie, that Reagan movie, and I assume it's true, but I don't know. I assume it is, but I guess Reagan was talking with I think his name was Scooter, he was like a senator or something, and they were on opposite sides Reagan's a Republican, he's the president and he's the senator.

Speaker 2:

He might even have been speaker at a house or something, I don't remember. And he said to them he said but at 6 o'clock we're on the same side. Like when they started talking, he goes, but at 6 o'clock we're on the, on this. That was the first thing he ever said. Like when they first, when he first got in the and he goes. What's that mean? He goes. Well, at six o'clock you know that that's jobs over, we can have a beer or whatever, right, and he goes. Yeah, absolutely. That's the kind of thing we need right now. We need something like that. We need some like getting mean. People just need to get along. There's too much like this right wing motherfucker, this left wing motherfucker, you know all this stuff. It's like we need that like peace.

Speaker 1:

And that's like like now, when it's over with a lot of that shit will subside, you know, just calm down, but a lot of it will go worse.

Speaker 2:

It's weird though. I mean it's like it's. You feel like you have to pick these sides and then, like we have our friends that are down the street that are Palestinian, it's like one of Amanda's closest friends at this point. The woman, the Palestinian woman, and her kids are Dylan's best friends and we spend a lot of time with them and talk to them, and you know what I mean, but at the same time, we think Palestine is destroying Israel. You know what I mean, but at the same time, we think Palestine is destroying Israel. You know what I mean and Amanda's last name, is Bernstein before we got married you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

So it's like I mean, you know it's a, it's a. It's. It's weird, like you almost feel like you should pick a side, but we get along so well. But I know that they got to have certain thoughts about it. You know what I mean. Maybe, maybe they don't, maybe they're okay with everything I don't know, who knows. But we can disagree and then not agree. You know what I'm saying. Like we could disagree and then Agree to disagree. Yeah, we can agree to disagree. Yes, absolutely, why not? I mean, and get along, though. I mean we have to agree on the things we do agree with.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because at the end of the day, like those people down there down the road, they're trying to pay their bills, they want their kids to be good people. You know what I mean. They think that it takes one way or another way. You know what I'm saying. And then maybe we do. They think that bacon is the enemy, which you know. We think bacon is heavenly, clearly by our guts.

Speaker 2:

But no, I mean it's just. I just hope it gets back to a better place soon. That's all I'm saying. And no matter who wins, I mean it just has to get back to a better place soon. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, no matter who wins, I mean it just has to get back to a better place quick and they got to quit doing that. They do too much shady. There's too much shady shit that goes on. I think that they should start setting laws. I don't want. I think there's too many fucking laws. Rick, I don't disagree with that, but I mean I think there should be like, because I grew up under the pretense of slander, we thought slander was a thing. We thought you really couldn't slander somebody.

Speaker 3:

Can't.

Speaker 1:

Then explain this fucking election cycle I mean explain it, because they say allegedly all the time no bullshit they do Like Trump said something about.

Speaker 2:

And bullshit they do like trump said something about. And one of the things he said something to the effect of women. We're going to protect the women whether they want to or not. We don't care what they want, we're doing it anyways. That's what he said, speaking about protecting them. And he was, I believe, if I remember right. I believe it had something to do with the legals coming in and stuff like that. You know what I mean. He said we're going to protect them, whether they want it or not, or we're going to protect them whether women want it or not. That's what we're going to do. They freaking took that exact wording that whether women want it or not, that's what we're going to do. And they just put 20 different things in front of it, like uh, um, reproductive rights, all that stuff. They put it at that slander. I mean isn't it? I mean you're, you're, you're lying. I mean a hundred percent You're lying. I mean how can it be anything else?

Speaker 1:

But that's their interpretation of what he said.

Speaker 2:

I don't know, I think that cause he filed a lawsuit, I think on was it NBC, I think who does the, who does the 60 minutes? He filed a lawsuit on that on them, on them for like 10 billion because they they actually Kamala's interview. They actually did it. They didn't air what she said, they aired another answer. She gave another answer on something else and they put it as her answer on that and it, and to make her look in a better light and it's like that's that's slander, and it's it's election interference.

Speaker 3:

It's it's something and it's bad slander, and it's it's election interference. It's, it's something and it's bad slander I mean what?

Speaker 1:

is slander, then it's a negative thing in it what do you? Mean like if you said something and then he turned it into like a negative isn't it just saying that somebody's saying something about somebody? That isn't true but how would he win? Because it wasn't him like. If he said something and they changed it around, then I see it being slander. But if she did and she don't care, how is it slander?

Speaker 2:

well, it's election interference then? Well, I don't know what he's he didn't sue for slander, but I'm just saying I was gonna say I think he sued for election.

Speaker 1:

You can't sue for slander on behalf of somebody else you know I what I'm saying?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but what about them doing that with him, like saying that that isn't that slander, like when you're, that's not slander, like attaching different things in front of his statement yeah, I'm saying, well then, that would be him suing for that, but he can't sue for what somebody said positive about her, like correcting her.

Speaker 2:

I mean, I've never seen it so bad with the like they said this or they said that. And I'm not saying that there's things that have been out there that we've done, for sure too, they've said them, but it's misspoken things and they're funny to me they're just funny, but they put it out there. Some of them act like it's true, because Kamala recently this week actually she said what did she say Something about? I've defended a lot of, ah, criminals that hurt people or I've I've protected a lot of criminals that hurt people. She said that's what she said in her statement, which obviously that's not what she meant. You know what I mean. But it's funny that she said it and they put it out there. And Tim Walls did that one. What did he say? He said I'm friends with a lot of school shooters or something.

Speaker 1:

It probably didn't have nothing to do with that the way he said it.

Speaker 2:

No, I mean that is no. No, that is exactly what he said, but he misspoke. He meant to say I'm friends with families of victims of school shooters, but he just, you know, I mean we all misspeak.

Speaker 1:

It was probably a teleprompter and he just skipped a word and two or something.

Speaker 2:

It's just, yeah, we all misspeak. We all can misspeak. I'm not saying I don't even hold it against them, I just think it's funny when they put it out there. But think it's funny when they put it out there, but that's different than changing what you said. It's just like they keep running that thing with North Carolina that he said, uh, that, uh, uh, there's good people on both sides.

Speaker 2:

Have you ever seen that word, that where he says there's good people on both sides, when the Ku Klux Klan and all them were over there? It's not what he said at all. It's not even a little bit of what he said. He said there was good people on both sides. He goes excluding the Klansmen and whatever the Klansmen and what was that other one? Some kind of boys, something boys I forget what their names are, but he said excluding them. But they just left that whole thing out and they run it like a mantra. They did it, hillary did it, biden did it, and now she did it in the debate too said that he said there's a saint, there's good people on both sides.

Speaker 1:

So you've been taking this stuff too.

Speaker 2:

No, I haven't. Should I give me one, would you forget it? Yeah, yeah, I need my, my neuroments. Yeah, yeah, I need my Neuromints. Yeah yeah, I haven't been taking them, damn it. That's why I can't think. Did you think it helped anything? No, no, I don't think. I don't know, maybe it's possible. I feel like maybe my words were coming to me more. I get stuck where I know the word but I can't bring it to my mouth. You know what I mean. Like I, I'll, I want to say something, you know, like contagious or something, and that just contagious, just won't come. I just can't figure out the word for it. And I feel like when I was, when I was eating those more, that I, I feel like those words were just coming out flowing a little better.

Speaker 1:

Like that word. I want to tell you right now what's that word. I don't know when they just give you, like, a sugar pill Placebo, placebo, yeah, that's probably what that is.

Speaker 2:

You take them.

Speaker 1:

You'd be like damn, I'm so much smarter now.

Speaker 2:

Well, it's not saying you're smarter. It's saying that you're clearer. Yeah, it's making you function better, but a big part of what's in here is caffeine and I get enough of that. That's what I was like. Yeah, I don't need it, but vitamin B and the L-theanine or whatever. I never had that before. Maybe I don't know Where's vitamin B at. Where do you find that at?

Speaker 3:

maybe I don't know what's where's vitamin b at where do you find out?

Speaker 2:

we are so uneducated, so what? We're functional, we do a podcast. So uneducated we don't know shit, we're just like, yeah, that's the facts, jack that's what it was supposed to be.

Speaker 1:

Just you guys talking. It ain't about a fucking fact checking shit. It's true, that is true. You facts check it. We say something that you don't agree with, facts check it. Tell us we're full of shit, I don't care, yeah we don't care.

Speaker 2:

We don't care. I was listening to that JD Vance on Joe Rogan. I love him. I'm telling you you should listen to that one with Joe Rogan.

Speaker 2:

I'm not feeling Joe Rogan's's pocket I don't either, but I like jd vance, though. I mean, I just jd vance is who I, but I I do like his. I like the way he sits down and talks with people and it's not like scripted. I like that, like it's just like he's he sits down, just has a conversation. I didn't think about. You know, podcasts have just basically replaced the like phil donahue's and oprah's and stuff like that. That's basically what it's done now. Yeah, that's the replacement of it. There's some good ones out there too. There are. There are a lot of good ones out there, for sure, there's definitely good ones out there. But there's there's ones that have the big market. That's rogan and sharp. Yeah, well, yeah, and Sharp, well, yeah. His is okay. His doesn't do that great. It did one really good with Cat William. Cat William just has that kind of star power, though I don't know, it's true, I was looking into that. He sells out.

Speaker 1:

So many tours. Oh, he's funny. Everybody says oh, he put it out there. No, it's been put out there.

Speaker 2:

People's been saying that shit for years yeah, but he said it from an insider. A lot of them said from it's like it's, it's like one, it's one, dave chappelle, like well, you know how dave put out shit about that too.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but nobody believes him because he had a beef with him.

Speaker 2:

Here's a guy in there he's been saying it a long time, but it was somebody that had a beef with them there was a whole that the whole thing. There was a beef, it was just like. Uh, like you don't listen to that shit, because it's a beef.

Speaker 2:

It's just like here, when we, you know when you go, you know when you deal with like, like, for instance, bill and rick when they were both in here, you didn't listen to either one story about the other one, because you know that they just hate each other. So you just didn't listen to either one story about the other one, because you know that they just hate each other. So you just didn't listen to either one story. Because, no matter what they say, you know it's about the beef. You know what I mean? Right, I don't know, I was thinking about that too. Like owning a bar and like running a bar, that's like it gives you some serious, like diplomatic experience. It really does. Dude, we have to deal with so many different personalities. I think the bartenders deal with more than that than you.

Speaker 2:

No, I don't disagree, they do, but I'm just saying but as a bar owner, you've dealt with and had to, so you've got to kind of be like the political. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

End game kind of thing. Yeah, for sure, like there's definitely come in no more.

Speaker 2:

Right, right, yeah, I mean, but you have to. But it's kind of like, you see, like all these different people and like the different, like it's. It's, for instance, I'll give you a perfect example. I'll give you a perfect example is the whole Kamala Harris talking about when she went to see and I might even talk about that on here. I don't remember if I did or not, I might have, if my not. I haven't talked about it on choice, but she went to go see Zelensky when Russia started building up on the border and they asked her about it and she said she went and talked to Zelensky and she told him we got your back, don't worry about it. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We got you. They said did you talk to Russia? And she said no, I had never talked to Putin.

Speaker 2:

And I thought that, just putting it in simple terms, like in the bar, if you got one guy puffing his chest out you know what I mean to some little guy in the corner and that little guy is told by us, we come in and say don't worry, we got you. All of a sudden he's going to start puffing his chest out. You know what I'm saying? I'm just saying ukraine wouldn't have went after russia if she didn't go over there and say, hey, we got you. Ukraine went after Russia. They didn't back down and try to negotiate. No, because why would they? They had the United States in their corner, so they thought they thought we are, I guess.

Speaker 2:

They were building up already. Russia was building up. You know what I mean. But instead of negotiating with them, they decided to go to war. Thousands of people have died now, thousands. You made the wrong decision at this point. You have to rebuild your country. You've lost so many people. So many people have lost their family. They're literally like women and younger men are coming in now to fight for Ukraine and they can't keep going on like this and we're not really helping. We were just half-ass helping them. You know what I mean. It's like we're like rooting them on, like cheering for them, giving them some weapons here and there. If we would have just stayed out of it, russia would have dealt with it and it would have been done and over with.

Speaker 2:

Russia didn't want to take the whole thing anyways, but he was getting cocky because the United States is sitting there. But it's the same thing that would happen in this bar If you had the little guy in a corner and you came over and said you got his back. There's going to be a fight there If you tell the little guy, hey, maybe you should go home for the night. Or tell the big guy, hey, you need to get out of here and go home for the night. Come back when you get your shit together, problem solved. But if you just go up to the one little guy, hey, we got your back. You just pissed off the big guy and the little guy feels like he could stick his chest out now and that's exactly what happened.

Speaker 2:

It's the same thing. It's just street smart. I mean, I'm telling you it's street smart. You could do better job running the country. Street smart wise. The last thing you do is go tell somebody like like Ukraine, that first of all is dirty. Anyways, like their, their whole political, like they have all kinds of dirty shit going on over there, paying fricking millions to fricking. That's why we went over there and fricking said we got your back Cause they already gave Hunter Biden fucking. How many millions was he making as a, as a? Uh, what was? What was his job? I can't remember what it was.

Speaker 1:

I don't know You're going to boundaries. I don't even know, I don't. I don't pay attention to that shit.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, hunter Biden was being paid by a Ukraine oil company to be basically just to give them advice, basically.

Speaker 1:

Well, maybe he gave him good advice. What?

Speaker 2:

the fuck does he know about oil and gas? Nothing, he what the fuck does he know about oil and gas? Nothing. He knows what it takes to make some money. It would be one thing if it was a bush, if it would have been a bush you know what I mean.

Speaker 2:

If it would have been a bush, they at least knew the oil and gas game. You know what I'm saying. I just don't know, I don't know. I mean you don't go, but you do know he's going to fight the big guy every time. Every time, instead of breaking it up, you go to one of them and you say, hey, I got you, don't worry, do whatever you want.

Speaker 1:

That's if you want to see a fight.

Speaker 2:

That's all I'm saying. They wanted to see a fight. Or is she too stupid to know that that's what's going to happen? Or are they smart and they wanted to see the fight? I don't know. That's what I want to know.

Speaker 1:

Good luck finding out.

Speaker 2:

All I'm saying is I mean, you know what I'm saying. It's the same thing.

Speaker 1:

It's simple what stops him there? If he takes that, he's going to take the one next to him, then he's going to take the one next to him, then he's going to take the one next to that, then he's going to just take over the whole fucking area. His problem was that.

Speaker 2:

Ukraine was getting too cozy with the United States and trying to get into NATO. He don't want NATO over there next to him and we don't want fucking Russia having missiles in Cuba or in Mexico or in Canada, and I understand that we can't allow him to do that and he can't allow NATO to be in Ukraine either Period. He can't, and you can't even blame him for that. How could you blame him for that?

Speaker 1:

You know what I mean, yeah, but if he takes it, what's going to stop him there? He's going to go next door and get that place and he's going to go and get the next one. He's going to go get the next one he's going to get the next one.

Speaker 2:

Yes, I'm not arguing, but you could have stopped him from going in there. You didn't go see him. You should have told Zelensky look, he's got us by the skinnies. We can't come in and help. We're not willing to come in and give you help. We're not willing to come in and give you help, we're not willing. But you go to Russia and you tell Russia hey, don't make us go help Ukraine, don't do it. Whatever you do, don't make that happen. We understand what you're doing here. We're not going to do NATO, but don't make us go help Ukraine. I mean, that's just common fucking sense, dude. That's how you would handle a fight that was getting ready to break out in a bar. That's how you would do it.

Speaker 1:

And sometimes they still break out.

Speaker 2:

That's true, but you do the best you can to not instigate it. I feel like when you go to the little guy and go, oh, I got your back, don't worry about it, you instigated it, yeah, and you caused a lot of deaths in the process. A lot of deaths, russian and Ukrainians.

Speaker 1:

I mean it's horrible. So what do you think the end game is they're going to take?

Speaker 2:

it over or what. I think that if Trump wins, I believe if Trump wins, that he's going to go and he's going to basically tell the Ukrainians we're not going to help you, no more. Basically Because he kind of Zelensky came and talked to him and met with him and Zelensky kind of tried to put Trump on the spot on the podium and Trump basically was like well, we'll see. I mean, he said it flat out Well, we'll see. I think Trump's going to do the same thing I just said. I think he's going to go to Russia. He won't say what he's going to do, but I believe he's going to go to Russia and go dude, don't make us do this anymore. Just fucking stop now. We don't want to help him, we won't help him, we're not going to happen. Just, you got to put an end to this and then tell ukraine because that that that's the key. You got to tell ukraine look, I ain't helping you, no more, fuck you, you're on your own. And if you do that, ukraine all of a sudden isn't as cocky. They don't have their chest stuck out. You know what I mean? That's the problem. He's getting too protected over there. They're getting we're just feeding them freaking weapons and money. It's just insane. If I'm Russia, I'd want to kick our ass for what we're doing to interfere with it. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

If we would have never interfered with it, ukraine would have went to the table and negotiated a little better is all I'm saying. But when they went to the table they thought they had something in their pocket. It's just like if you went to go buy, say you went to go buy dog and suds down the street, okay, but you were just told that Sonic wants that building and you know that. But they haven't told anyone. But you know that your buddy told you that. So you go to negotiate that contract with Sonic. You're willing to put your neck out there a little bit. Or with Eileen to buy a dog and suds, you're willing to put your neck out there. You know you could go pretty high with that price. You know you can get in there and invest in it because you know you got Sonic in the waiting, the big paycheck. You know what I'm saying yeah that's not a good sure.

Speaker 2:

It is business, is it's all the same thing? It's just, it's all the same shit you're talking war.

Speaker 1:

You're talking deaths. You're talking famish, you're talking all kinds of different stuff.

Speaker 2:

That's not the same but it's the, it's the making. The deal is all I'm saying. If you go over there to buy that from her and she doesn't know about that, there's all.

Speaker 1:

There's all kinds of stuff involved in that ukraine's deal where we don't know nothing about, probably nothing, nothing about I'm not saying there isn't, but I but I know for a fact.

Speaker 2:

What happened was she went and told Ukraine we got your back. And I heard that from her mouth, that she said we got your back, don't worry. That gives them cockiness, that's all I'm saying. And then Russia's pissed off because that's what we said and we didn't. By the way, we didn't even bother to talk to them. They weren't even worth our time to talk to. I mean, the only other superpower in the united in the world? Well, china is too. And now, right or no? I?

Speaker 2:

think they're I think they're considered a superpower, but either way, but yeah, don't you see what I'm saying? Like isn't it just common sense? Like isn't that just normal negotiations, negotiation in street sense.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, talk to all sides For sure.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, if you want peace, if you want it to stay peaceful, you make it work. Now what you could do in Israel and Gaza. I don't know what you do about that.

Speaker 1:

But what you? I don't know. Sometimes you just stay out of it either way.

Speaker 2:

I agree with that. You could have done that.

Speaker 1:

That would have been better. Like I said, though, the problem with that you could have done that. That would have been better. Like I said, though, the problem with that is you stay out of it. He takes it over, Then what's going to stop him taking over the other one?

Speaker 2:

If we stay out of it, if we stay out of it and let Russia and Ukraine deal with whatever they deal with over there and you never go and talk to Ukraine and support Ukraine, russia probably doesn't invade them. You're probably even better off.

Speaker 1:

I don't do politics. I don't know I don't look too much into it where I got an opinion on it.

Speaker 2:

I understand that, but you have an opinion about that. Fight in the bar is all I'm saying, so you know, you understand that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I understand.

Speaker 2:

You understand that that's the same thing. It's a bigger scale, there's more at play, but it's the same thing. At the end of the day, it's just how you make somebody else's mind work. In the end, if their mind is feeling comfortable with the decision to just go to war, the only thing that could make them comfortable enough to go to war would be that you're going to bet, just like the United States when we took on Britain. We probably wouldn't have done that if France wouldn't have said they got our back. You know what I mean. We would have been like, eh, I don't know, but because France was coming, we were willing to go to war. You know, which I'm grateful for.

Speaker 1:

Well, I don't know much about that one either, so I ain't going to sit here and lie and try to talk about it.

Speaker 2:

No, but you understand my point that it's just to a point if you want to keep, if you want to keep a, you know how to keep a fight down. That's all I'm saying. And, like you say, sometimes the fights break out anyways, even though you did everything you were supposed to. But if you instigate it, you instigate it. You know what I'm saying? That's, that's all I'm saying. You're instigating or you're not? Yeah, he said your mama, your mama. He said your mama like three times. I heard him. I heard him. All right, we've been on a while, I guess.

Speaker 2:

Huh yeah ready to get out of here. Yeah, make sure you guys go out and vote it. It is that time. You got two days left, that's it. And then we get to find out.

Speaker 1:

Don't tell nobody who you vote for, just do it, yeah, don't tell your husband.

Speaker 2:

Whatever you do, just tell your husband yeah, I voted for Trump. Whoever you want to be to, that's who I voted for. All right, I'm out of here. Peace Later.
