Unpaid Lunch : A Podcast About Work

QUITTING IS BACK!!! PLUS: Balancing Our Political Career, Collectibles, and Coffee Enemas

Team T4 Episode 48

Ever wondered how adult life can be a juggling act of career success and financial headaches? Join us as we, Slick Nick, Key, and Heavy D, share our playful banter on everything from budgeting slip-ups to the quirky thrill of collectible hobbies. We kick things off with a nostalgic nod to past episodes, like the unforgettable "Super Show" with Eric and the infamous "Elevate Chicken." Our conversation touches on the bittersweet ironies of adulting, as we laugh through the struggles of balancing work demands with personal enjoyment.

As our chat unfolds, we dive into the hilarity and chaos of work-life balance, sharing tales from the trenches of nursing schedules to the geeky joys of IT. We tackle the envy of structured workweeks with a humorous spin, and the power dynamics of sound effects control in our podcast become a running joke. Our camaraderie shines through as we swap stories of exhaustion, creative coping strategies, and the peculiar joy of collectibles like wrestling figures devouring our hard-earned cash.

In a lighter vein, we open up about personal battles with imposter syndrome and anxiety, sparking a dialogue on mental health and the meds that keep us going—Zoloft, anyone? From granola bar debates to the art of grocery store people-watching, our discussions weave together serious themes with comedic relief. And just when you think it couldn't get more eclectic, we chat about the absurdities of holiday work schedules, wild concert experiences, and the punk rock ethos of quitting your job with flair. So, tune in for a blend of humor, honesty, and a hearty dose of life's unpredictability.

Welcome to unpaid lunch and thanks for spending your break with us. I'm heavy d uh keys here. Nick is in studio I'm back baby uh, nobody else is here. Actually, this is like the first time ever. It's just, we're pretty lonely it's very peaceful and serene.

Speaker 3:

The Nick is in studio. I'm back, baby. Nobody else is here.

Speaker 1:

Actually this is like the first time ever, it's just we're pretty lonely. It's very peaceful and serene.

Speaker 3:

The last time I was here, I think recording, oh no, was when Eric was here, the Super Show, right? Is it the last show you were here?

Speaker 1:

I think so yeah, it's not so super, it was super duper in hindsight it was super duper, but I had somebody the other day tell me I listen to your podcast. Yeah, is every episode like that one? And I was like no, bro, Please listen to the first six, the first six and then the 30s.

Speaker 3:

I was going to say quality through the roof going up, it continues to impress.

Speaker 1:

Thanks, dad. Recurring guests second most you and Mike are pretty close. I gotta go back and look at it. So there's. The internet says this is 50th episode, but I think it's counting the chicken episode, the elevated chicken episode, and then we did like an update whenever we hadn't recorded in a while.

Speaker 3:

Oh yeah, After the pause.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, after the pause, and so that would make this 50, I think. Okay, look at that I don't count those though. So we're not, even though we're going to get like the badge on Buzzsprout that says that we've had 50. Like, those don't count because I didn't put a ton of work into those.

Speaker 3:

They're still good though.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they were okay. Elevate Chicken was actually pretty good and we gained some friends from it.

Speaker 3:

We love friends Big fan.

Speaker 1:

Big fan Rip Matthew Perry. No wait, what's his name?

Speaker 3:

No, liam Payne.

Speaker 1:

Well, that's funny. He chose One Direction, didn't he?

Speaker 3:

Wow Took that low-hanging fruit.

Speaker 1:

I don't know why you expect me to not make that joke.

Speaker 3:

I don't expect you not to. That's par for the course.

Speaker 1:

So what did he kill himself?

Speaker 3:

I think he was on a bunch of like street drugs. They call it pink coke. It's like a mixture of hallucinogens, opiates and meth.

Speaker 1:

You'd fucking know that.

Speaker 3:

And well, I read an article Some of us can read.

Speaker 1:

I can read. I choose not to.

Speaker 3:

It's a privilege, but no, he was on a bunch of drugs and he was sleeping with a bunch of prostitutes and went crazy and jumped off a balcony.

Speaker 1:

Well, and they said it was like it wasn't even Supposedly.

Speaker 3:

I don't know that, don't sue me.

Speaker 1:

It wasn't even like a, it was like three stories or something. Yeah, it wasn't that high, should have lived through it probably.

Speaker 3:

Normally they say that you can't live if you fall from more than four stories, but he just fell from three and killed him, so I guess he did it with a little oomph or something.

Speaker 1:

He wasn't too passed out. You usually live through that shit if you're.

Speaker 3:

That would be awful.

Speaker 1:

I'm just saying. They say you live through car wrecks. It's more likely you live through car wrecks if you're passed out. That's why drunk drivers don't usually die?

Speaker 3:

Oh, because you're real loose. Yeah, and drunk drivers yeah.

Speaker 1:

Drunk drivers usually don't die. Some people they hit, they die Because they're like yeah.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, their bodies still limber, like mine.

Speaker 1:

Your body's still limber.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, like a dancer.

Speaker 1:

I feel like this job segue into our namesake of our podcast and your current job. I feel like this is the part of adulthood that sucks like where you're at now.

Speaker 3:

I know you've worked a ton in your life but like this part trenches part yeah, like definitely the worst but also the best, I know well, making it and being miserable are the same thing. Yeah, yeah they're one of the same. They hold hands, they're not ships passing.

Speaker 1:

And then you pulled up in a nice vehicle, right I mean it's all right, it's yeah yeah, sure, yeah, you broke his fuck I mean you vehicle the payment.

Speaker 3:

it's coming every month. What are we?

Speaker 1:

going to do baby. You live to work, you work to live. That's what it is.

Speaker 3:

You know what? It's funny because the way my budget is now like with that car and I bought a place and all my bills if I don't go out and blow it like hanging out with people or something, I can save like $1,100 a month.

Speaker 1:

Like how you pretty much admitted out loud that you don't save it. You're like if I don't blow it, I could save this much. I never do save that much I just mean objectively when I'm budgeting.

Speaker 3:

There's this $1,100 gap that's unaccounted for and somehow I don't have it all the time. Where did it go?

Speaker 1:

I don't know. I think it's Wrestling figures.

Speaker 3:

No.

Speaker 1:

Oh no. You have a lot. I don't. Don't judge me. You're judging real hard. You're looking all over the room and judging super hard. Kids play with that. Don't look at it. No, it's just Because there are so many in so many places. They're everywhere. They really are everywhere. That's because of that I want to distract you. They're everywhere.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I'm distracted. I keep trying to read all these, but my eyes are.

Speaker 1:

There's one under your desk. I actually didn't know for sure.

Speaker 3:

No, there's not.

Speaker 2:

They're usually hanging on the arms of the microphones.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but Colt and Luke were here, weston's kids were here. They take all the figures and put them in the ring. So last week Mike was here, toe was here and we didn't talk about anything I can't name. There was a point in the podcast where me and Monroe and Key and Toe could not name a single thing we talked about.

Speaker 3:

I believe that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, it was like an hour and 14 minute episode and I have no idea what we talked about.

Speaker 3:

Was it a banger though?

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, it was great. Yeah, we had a blast. I just don't know. I feel like it was completely unstructured, which is, I guess, that's what's needed.

Speaker 3:

It's kind of like your whole vibe.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, unstructured.

Speaker 3:

Like you as a person, not the pod, but you yeah, you're right, your energy.

Speaker 1:

And then I focus everything into getting the structure from it. Yeah right, yeah yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

That's probably true. New jobs, new-ish, new-ish. You didn't have this job when you were on the podcast last. Yeah, you did, but you weren't this miserable.

Speaker 3:

No, it's not that I'm miserable, it's just that I'm getting. We're all miserable, I don't know, it's just that I'm getting. I don't know. People die a lot and that weighs heavy, but also, it's just going to work. The schedule that I have, six days on, six days off, is very tiresome.

Speaker 1:

Day five, man.

Speaker 3:

Day three, yeah, yeah, but day five I guess it's worse, because day five you kind of like are day six is not that bad, you're numb, we can get a second wind, but then your second wind is immediately halted as soon as you actually have to go to work. As soon as you see the doors, I'm good.

Speaker 1:

We're going to push through it.

Speaker 3:

I never push through. I fall asleep in my car, sometimes on my break, and I'm so lucky to wake up.

Speaker 1:

It's really bad. I think I would like to poll the audience and see how many people nap in their car on break. I know a lot. A lot of people at my work sleep in the parking lot.

Speaker 3:

Oh, I have no doubt At work.

Speaker 1:

I sleep at my desk, I think.

Speaker 3:

Well, I guess nursing is weird because you don't really get a guaranteed break or a guaranteed lunch. So when you do take your lunch and you're able to take that 30, 45 minutes or whatever, a power nap is amazing. It's like a tool.

Speaker 1:

And you could find a bed. Yeah, that's possible too, not that that has ever happened. Sure, that's not ever happened. Nobody's ever done that. Yeah, but but you could.

Speaker 3:

there are lots of beds there are, and blankets and pillows there's all kinds of good stuff to sleep wherever if you had enough time to plan, you can put blankets and pillows in a warmer maybe and have those warm for you oh yeah, I forgot that was a thing too. Yeah, um if you wanted to yeah, yeah, I'm blessed man.

Speaker 1:

I don't work weekends. I work Monday through Friday.

Speaker 3:

That makes me sick, it's disgusting. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Actually I think our whole department's hated at the call center because we don't work any weekends and we're all off at 6 o'clock, no matter what.

Speaker 3:

What department are you in? I? Don't even know what you do.

Speaker 1:

I literally do IT for a call center, not like all IT in a call center, but IT for the employees of the call center.

Speaker 3:

I had no idea what you did. I just knew that you worked for who you worked for.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I transitioned to IT last year October.

Speaker 2:

King of technology and recently got a promotion.

Speaker 3:

Just like.

Speaker 1:

So if you didn't listen to the last episode, I didn't pay much.

Speaker 3:

I did not.

Speaker 1:

I know. Thanks, keisha, listen, keisha's been wanting the board back because it's been over here. The board's been over here with me because when we record Show in Color, the wrestling podcast, I do with Clay and I just run the board over here. But man, she wanted the board so bad the other night and I was like missing the prompts. Now she's got it back.

Speaker 2:

Thank you Too much control.

Speaker 3:

She fires.

Speaker 1:

She fires stuff off. I almost put a new sound on there for you today, but I thought you might abuse it. Which one? So I have to like ease you into it. No, I'm not even going to tell you. You're so excited right now I am.

Speaker 3:

I'm kind of interested too.

Speaker 1:

I'm not telling anybody now. Let's do it, don't it? I'm not, it's on there, but you, it's hidden. I can't tell you where it is. You know, there's two more like um, those little panels, the bottom. They go left and right. There's more, there's more stuff, can I hit it yeah, I don't care, just hit one of them. I think it's like voice change. I don't know that's. We already have that, it's a little bit different though yeah, it is a little bit different I love your lgbt keyboard hey, gotta support the gays.

Speaker 1:

Speaking of showing color, I got wes a job with me.

Speaker 3:

Wes, that hangs out here oh okay, yeah, I don't hear you don't?

Speaker 1:

it took me a second. I know the face. Yeah, it's okay.

Speaker 3:

I don't know that, I know him I know him he just randomly named. Drop him to me and expect me to know that.

Speaker 1:

Well, I expect you to know everything in my life, okay.

Speaker 3:

I'm sorry.

Speaker 1:

And the fact that you don't really you disappoint me. I apologize, but yeah, I got him a job with me and I was thinking about how I'm such a poser on this podcast. Yeah you kind of are in a way, do you?

Speaker 3:

have imposter syndrome about it.

Speaker 1:

A little bit yeah, because like I haven't quit my job in a long time, You're just airing your frustration, though. Yeah, we know what we're about. That's what we're here for. We can't quit because my son loves nuggies. Yeah, but you can fantasize about it, you can. Um, we can't quit because my son loves nuggies.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, but you can fantasize about it. Yeah, but I can think about it. You can lust for quitting.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and I don't despise my job right now. So that's kind of why I feel, uh, I feel shame for the podcast, so I don't hate my job.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

I don't hate my job either. It's fucked, it's weird.

Speaker 3:

I hate the performance of my job, like I hate a lot of the dealing with people that I have to do Since we've hung out last.

Speaker 1:

I got on anxiety medication.

Speaker 3:

Good for you.

Speaker 1:

What'd you get on? What's the one Prestige?

Speaker 3:

The Z I almost said Zofran.

Speaker 1:

Zoloft, zoloft, that one. Yeah, okay and Boost Bar. Okay and Boost Bar.

Speaker 3:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

And is it?

Speaker 3:

working. Is it helping?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's why I don't hate my job. I don't feel anything about anything. It's awesome.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, it works so good right.

Speaker 1:

It's really good. I didn't know that you weren't supposed to think about breathing all the time.

Speaker 3:

Oh yeah, about feeling like you have to manually breathe.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I didn't know that. I didn't know. That's not just how you're supposed to be. Yeah, I stopped doing that.

Speaker 3:

Wow, congratulations. I love free breathing. It was a big thing.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I didn't know I was like what's up with this? I don't actually have to do it myself. I'm not anxious about not being able to sleep because I can't breathe, because I can't sleep Hell yeah, that's dope. I didn't sleep for like a week and a half, like a really stressful week, and then after that I didn't sleep for like a week and a half and Brianna was like you gotta fucking do something. Yeah, no doubt she was like you're driving everybody crazy.

Speaker 3:

That's kind of what happened to me. Is I just like? I came into work one day and I had a panic attack that was so bad like my charge nurse sent me to the ER, like I was so pale? I was like sweating so hard. My body was like vibrating. It was crazy. But I started taking Prozac. So then I felt like Tony Soprano because I was Prozac'd out.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, fuck yeah.

Speaker 3:

So we changed that to Pristik. So I take Pristik now I take some Buspar and I take Prostate. Now I take some Buspar and I take a beta blocker for my heart rate, I really like Buspar.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, Buspar's kind of… that shit hits Chef's kiss. Take two of those in the morning.

Speaker 3:

What milligram do you take?

Speaker 1:

Low, low, okay, yeah, real low.

Speaker 3:

I need to up it, though, because likely I've been a little madder than normal.

Speaker 2:

I think mine's 15 or 10. So I have a friend I work with and she talked all last week about taking and we thought it was Boost Bar and she says it's Boost Par.

Speaker 1:

Who gives a fuck?

Speaker 3:

Is that true? It's B-U-S-P-A-R. Yeah, I was like I think it's B-U-S-P-A-R.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it is.

Speaker 3:

There's no tea or anything on it. Walmart boost bar like a granola bar. That's just appalachian. You add teas and stuff all the time like walmart's.

Speaker 1:

What kind of granola bar do you like? Um it depends do you like um, like one with peanut butter or chocolate, or do you just like I'll eat?

Speaker 3:

dry. I'll eat any of them as long as they don't have dried fruit in them oh, you don't like dried fruit at all, like cranberries, the cran. The cranberries are fine, but like bananas, cranberries is about the only dried fruit I like. Yeah, People put bananas in it dried bananas or dried mangoes.

Speaker 1:

That's too much chew, I think.

Speaker 3:

It's already chewy.

Speaker 1:

I don't need another chew.

Speaker 3:

It's not even that, it's just it gets gummy in the roof in your mouth.

Speaker 1:

No, I'm not into it. I don't know why. I thought that I was just thinking about whether you know that's just an interesting topic. I like to see what people buy. You ever at the grocery store and just watch what people buy and you're like what the fuck are they making?

Speaker 3:

No, that's my favorite thing today I was in.

Speaker 1:

I was in food city today and I was just like, walking around, the dude got like a gallon of milk, right, some bacon. I was like, all right, well, he's making uh, he's just, he's just gonna make some breakfast. Then he got like a tomato, uh, some asparagus. I was like what's happening? What are we doing?

Speaker 3:

Sounds like he's making a world-class meal.

Speaker 1:

Is he? What's he making?

Speaker 3:

I don't know, probably some kind of soup.

Speaker 1:

This guy was not making a world-class meal. This guy was confused about what was in the store.

Speaker 3:

Did he look like he smelled bad?

Speaker 1:

He did smell bad. He didn't look like it, he smelled like he smelled bad.

Speaker 3:

Oh well, that's.

Speaker 1:

What's funny is I can't help but talk to people.

Speaker 3:

I don't know if you know that about me or not. I do. I know whose son you are, okay.

Speaker 1:

Fuck you. I can't help but talk to people. But also I don't want to talk to anybody in the grocery store. Of course not anybody in the grocery store. It's the one place I'm like man. But if I do see you in the grocery store, it's going to be a spectacle, because I don't want to do the whole shit where we're like alright, well, I'll see you later, because I'm going to see you again in a second.

Speaker 3:

See, once you get to advanced level, anxiety dealing with techniques. That wasn't a full sentence.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I was waiting on the rest of it.

Speaker 3:

Once you get to the end, you realize that you just can avoid it, because I grocery shop at Walmart most of the time.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

So I just do Walmart pickup for everything. You don't even have to talk to anybody.

Speaker 1:

See, I don't have that option.

Speaker 3:

Because, like Whitesburg, Walmart.

Speaker 1:

They don't do that. They do, but they don't have meat. Oh, it's not a Super.

Speaker 2:

Walmart.

Speaker 1:

It's frozen and it's not yeah, they have like some produce.

Speaker 3:

Pockville, just take the trip there. What the fuck.

Speaker 2:

Do it at Norton. I'm picking up after work.

Speaker 3:

You're at Norton. I was just buying a beef roast. Yeah, but you do all your grocery shopping online.

Speaker 1:

So this is what I do.

Speaker 3:

Okay, tell me.

Speaker 1:

Because it's Bible Belt. I like when you say it like that it's not. I'd go to the grocery store at 11.15 on Sundays, okay. Because, it's a ghost town at 11.15 on Sunday. You know where I'm at at 11.15 on Sunday, in the bed.

Speaker 3:

No.

Speaker 1:

Work.

Speaker 3:

In the drive-thru of a Long John Silver's baby just as Christ intended. I'm getting the freshest chicken, the freshest fish and the freshest grease.

Speaker 1:

I have actual goosebumps because I haven't thought about it before that Long John's is the fucking place to go at 11, 11.15. It's, when it's fresh, you're so right. So I got to double quick and get their food because their food's really good. At like 1115 because they're prepping for the church crowd, their food is awesome, like the wedges. You have to let them cool. If I have to let gas station food cool, it's so good.

Speaker 3:

That's how you know you're right with the Lord. There's little blessings like that. It is, it's the little things when they not give you two cups of ranch instead of one for your four enormous potato?

Speaker 1:

wedges. You forget that? This is super small town, usa, right? Everybody at this gas station either our kids play sports together or I get free wedges all the time. I'll order like a three and three combo and I'll get like four and five. You know what I mean? Yeah, can't even eat them. There's so and five. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, can't even eat them. There's so many. You know what I mean that's. Oh, man, it's heaven. It's heaven. So good. I love obesity. It's my favorite thing. You beat it. I miss food. Yeah, yeah, it really. That's the worst thing about being skinny is you're not fat?

Speaker 3:

yeah, it really is. Yeah, because my heart is so fat.

Speaker 1:

Yeah I know it is especially because you've been fat.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, truly fat. And you know shit that's good, truly fat.

Speaker 1:

I can't imagine a world where I don't eat shit. That's good.

Speaker 3:

I mean I eat good shit, but I eat three bites of it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, see, I want to eat two plates of French toast, Me too same.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I love to waste money on a buffet now, though, because it is a complete waste for me. I love the experience. I love just like watching other people eat, and I love to go and look at the options, get a little snag, a little bite.

Speaker 1:

A little piece of potato.

Speaker 3:

Sometimes I Never mind, I don't want to.

Speaker 1:

Don't say it, no, you gotta say it.

Speaker 3:

I'm gonna say sometimes, you know, I'll just end up getting sick a little bit, but then I go right back.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so you know, I'll just end up getting sick a little bit, but then I go right back. Yeah, it's okay.

Speaker 3:

I just didn't want to promote bulimia on it, but it's whatever.

Speaker 1:

We promote a lot of shit. I think bulimia is the one that everybody on here is like hell, yeah, more of that. I think it's okay. Everybody's trying to put as many stacks on Wendy's burgers as they can.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, and there's some delicious cookies on the table, but I'm not sure that they could be eaten on a podcast. They are crisp.

Speaker 1:

They are crisp, we can mute. Don't worry, we'll have to have a break soon because IBS. It's not true, I don't have that.

Speaker 3:

I was getting ready to say that I didn't know that you had a shitty bowel.

Speaker 1:

No, I don't. I'm pretty regular actually. That's why I can't take Ozempic.

Speaker 3:

Oh God, I would love Ozempic.

Speaker 1:

That's why I can't take it, because I'm too regular. I can't deal with bowel issues too.

Speaker 3:

If I could lose 15 pounds 15 pounds yeah. Or 20.

Speaker 1:

I think you do promote some weight issues on here.

Speaker 2:

Why.

Speaker 1:

I don't know, because you don't need to lose any weight. You look good.

Speaker 3:

You haven't seen me naked. Yeah, lately, I was going to say.

Speaker 1:

Fucking two different ways with it Lately. Yeah, both of those can be true. Yeah, at the same time. You haven't seen me naked. Well, nobody else has either. Nobody else is seeing it currently, so it's fine no, there are people saying it there's somebody waiting at my house, right now to see it oh you ready for?

Speaker 3:

this to be over, ain't you?

Speaker 1:

no, I'm just saying, they're just chilling you got a fucking better night than we have planned I don't know if it'll be a better night or not.

Speaker 3:

I'm not. I'm not sure how it's going to turn out.

Speaker 1:

That's yeah, still have a better chance. I'm married, right. So what I always said about being married is married people generally have less sex when you've been married a while. Either way, I still go to bed with somebody. It's like people go to a club and they fucking. Most people just come up empty.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that's true, and what people want is the intimacy of being with somebody, not necessarily that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1:

But nobody at the club wants to be. Yeah, that's why everybody's like people just sleep together. Nobody dates anybody, Because everybody wants the same thing. So it's really confusing.

Speaker 3:

No, but that's me at the club, though. I'm in there like Ian Curtis or like the guy from the Cure in the back of the corner, like I'm really looking for love and pushing my bangs to the side. You know, that's me in the bar.

Speaker 1:

Other people are twerking in thongs and I'm like, but I'm different, just in mate, give me a tequila sunrise and tell me what your favorite idea is yeah, really embarrassing all around. I don't uh too old. I can't do that. I don't want to be anywhere with concrete floors after eight o'clock.

Speaker 3:

Speaking of that, have you been to a concert lately? Just at all, uh, or any kind of event where you have to stand?

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Listen. I went to go watch co-witzel in Louisville and he was like an hour and a half late to perform. He was there, but he just didn't come on stage for an hour and a half, so the guy that was on before him was a DJ. All he did was remix 90s and 2000s music, which is fine for his little set. He did his set, then he did an hour and 40 more minutes while Cole was not on stage.

Speaker 3:

Was he trashed. Oh, he was coked out, yeah, but he did this whole set and he ran out of songs. Beautiful, yeah, and he wasn't like a live DJ, he was like a prerecorded one. So he just restarted the tracks. So we're listening to the same songs like five, six, seven times, like yeah, by Usher came on like for the eighth time and I had a stroke, dude. I walked to the car, I said I'm out, I didn't even watch Co, I just left.

Speaker 1:

I was in his worst performance, that DJ. He was like that was not fair. I was set up for failure.

Speaker 3:

Well, almost two and a half hour loop of the greatest hits of the 90s.

Speaker 2:

It's really sad. We watched him in Pikeville with Trady Oak about a month ago.

Speaker 3:

I love Trady Oak.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that'd be great, and something he said on the stage was like if you got coke, meet me after. He's like no, I'm kidding, give it to my Trady Oak boys he's like, but for real. That's crazy. So you're in the wrong area.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I was like. I feel like you're probably going to die from fentanyl.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, there are 150 teeth in that crowd total.

Speaker 1:

There was so much coke in there thrown at him when he said that they were just like fucking throwing bags at him.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, he got his mouth open like a Hoover.

Speaker 1:

You're in the right place, baby Kirby, just taking it all in.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, there's fentanyl bags. Bah, bah, bah Just getting nuked.

Speaker 1:

You're going to end up in West Virginia in a river somewhere. You're going to end up in Bertha County in a river.

Speaker 3:

All they do is find bodies over there every other day.

Speaker 1:

They do that a lot, yeah, yeah wild as hell. Turns out that gas station is the most wild double quick.

Speaker 3:

Oh, the little BP one.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, because it's booming all the time. But it is the most wicked like backwoods. I bet they have no supervisors that ever go there because it looks like people die there. It's set up different than any other double quick too.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, and it always stinks.

Speaker 1:

It stinks so bad. The toilets are bad, everything's there. It's bad. Sometimes I get cheese sticks there, though yeah, I'll still eat food period. Yeah, that's fine. I'm definitely going to dabble on the chicken finger.

Speaker 3:

They'll grab it with their fingers too. I like that. I like when they breathe on it. Yeah, that's when they put their mouth over.

Speaker 1:

You want this one, give me that dark one yeah. Let me get you this chicken. It looks a little bigger and they just out of the way. Yeah, it's because it's breading.

Speaker 3:

It's like four inches thick. It's the most shriveled piece of chicken on the inside.

Speaker 1:

It's just griddle with breading around it.

Speaker 3:

It's just what Say that again Griddle, griddle.

Speaker 1:

Gristle.

Speaker 3:

Hey, I don't think there's a griddle in there.

Speaker 1:

I was like wait which one of those do you cook with A griddle? You can cook with a gristle too. Yeah, I have a lot of issues. I don't work on them anymore.

Speaker 2:

I'm tired of working on my problems. I've done enough, just survive.

Speaker 1:

So what are you doing? You're going to have a stroke. Yeah, do you smell toast?

Speaker 3:

Can you hold your arms out straight?

Speaker 1:

What are you going to work in the holidays? I don't know. We got that coming up. I don't know how far ahead do you guys have to plan that?

Speaker 3:

They give us our schedule six weeks at a time, right. And it just so happens. Well, I guess I know if I work Thanksgiving or not. I'm not sure, I haven't looked. It's my birthday, so birthday so but our schedule is only out until the 21st of december, so our new schedule get fucked.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we won't no idea what's your christmas plans. We don't know.

Speaker 3:

Good luck I hope you can do it on the fly.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we're not gonna be able to help you with that. We have like a blackout. Of course I'm not on the phones anymore, so we don't really have much of that, but we have like a blackout where you just can't take any pto through those days.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that sucks.

Speaker 1:

But I think I'm off Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Speaker 3:

You can't make any requests for those weeks, and you can only request the 4th of July week off if you've been there more than two years or something.

Speaker 1:

That makes sense, does it no? So you don't want to get into a whole thing about how I feel about PTO. Now I think everybody knows how I feel about PTO and my bosses know how I feel about PTO. But luckily I'm saying that word too fast PTO Luckily they're super cool and I can just get off whenever I want. But most people there in the call center can't and like any job any jobs like that now, where you earn PTO and you can't really use it, they can tell you when you use it, which is the most bullshit thing. Just take off, man, whatever.

Speaker 3:

Well, that's what I do. But I think at the hospital, for the most part, people are scared of well, not scared, I'm not disparaging anyone. People are reluctant to just call out and use their PTO because obviously hospitals are understaffed most of the time. But me, one thing about me is I'm going to call out every time. Baby Listen, this is not a lie. The other day, we work 12-hour shifts, so there's a charge nurse during the day and there's a charge nurse at night. Well, I have to call the third floor charge nurse to call out. I was on the clock it was like 6 15 and I called her and I was like I'm not going to be here tonight. I didn't even wait until the shift was over. I was like I'm not coming in. She's like you can't do that, you have to call later.

Speaker 1:

Nope, that's I think. I just think every conversation I get in when people are like I can't call in. You know, it's like I got 84 hours of PTO and I was like dude, just fucking call in.

Speaker 3:

I have 84 minutes call out.

Speaker 1:

I guess, yeah, call out. That debate came up recently. Somebody I say call in. In a lot of jobs I've used call in. Do you say call in?

Speaker 3:

listen, I say call in. A lot of jobs I've used call in. Do you say call in? Listen, I used to say call in, yeah, but then people brainwashed me into saying call out. Dude same, because I was like call in is what I've always said, because I'm calling in to work, yeah.

Speaker 1:

I am. But calling out makes sense too. It does, but I don't. I wish I would have just stuck with it. I wish I would have just stuck with it and been one of the only ones that says colony. And you know what? Let's make it cool again. Let's say colony.

Speaker 3:

You can't. Okay what? No, I can, I can go through that, I can, I can do that with you.

Speaker 1:

I think I have to break a habit, cause I have made it a habit. I have to. Yeah, wow.

Speaker 3:

Really.

Speaker 1:

Just because imagine this bosses are good to you, you care about them. Imagine that world, Just because they'll let me have off whenever I need it.

Speaker 3:

So if I'm like Tuesday morning, if I'm like, hey, you know a lot of stuff going on today, Well, that's the good thing about the hospital is like I can't speak for the whole hospital but for my unit. Like my bosses and my coworkers are the bomb. I could not ask for better. They're so fun, love all of them, they're all great, and so I enjoy going to work. But, like I don't know, initially I was working like four and five days in a row, 12 hour shifts at a time, and so basically all you're doing is working and sleeping. So I would call out at the end of that stretch on that fifth day. So I was only working four days because I would just use my time, because I was so tired. So this past week is the first time I've actually worked a full six in a row and you know it felt good. So I think it's. The environment is growing on me and I enjoy being there.

Speaker 1:

So I think You're probably pretty good at it too, I'm all right at it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

So it's like not the best thing in the world so to be clear, I don't.

Speaker 2:

What department do you work in?

Speaker 3:

uh, I'm an icu nurse, okay, yeah yeah, um, yeah.

Speaker 1:

So if you can time your like pto right in the holidays, have you seen that that chart? It's like here's how you can take off. We talked about that. I don't look up that chart again because I'm now that I'm working like normal shifts, see how many days off I can get, especially because my birthday is the 24th yeah uh, and I think thanksgiving this year is on. Oh, I wish my calendar worked, but I'm on Windows 11. Oh, so I can't do that.

Speaker 3:

You're now on the Bill Gates hit list. You've invoked the name of Windows 11.

Speaker 1:

Bro, I deal with so much Windows 11 stuff at work that I promise if I'm on Bill Gates hit list, it's for more than just that. I catch Windows 11 all day long. I can't find any menus. I can't find any menus anywhere for anything. And it's funny because when you're taught something how to do something one way, and then you try to find it it's like I learned this whole new way.

Speaker 1:

It's fun, Don't worry about it. But yeah, I'd love to get some sort of stretch off where I can have like I don't want to do anything though, I just want to sit on the couch.

Speaker 3:

You just want to exist at home for a prolonged period of time. I've said it before.

Speaker 1:

But that girl from the this Is your Brain On Drugs commercial that's melted into the chair. I want to be her for like a week.

Speaker 3:

That's me, but I just dream of being horizontal. I'm at work all the time and I'm like I need to be horizontal right now. What do you mean? I just need to be flat.

Speaker 1:

I just need to be sideways.

Speaker 3:

And you know, sometimes you just got to Hypothetically Run to a couch in an empty patient room and just be horizontal for a minute, like my body craves.

Speaker 1:

I do that sometimes on the floor at work, yeah my body craves to be flat. But it fucking does, it does it truly does.

Speaker 3:

It loves it.

Speaker 1:

It's my natural state. My natural state's just on my back. Yeah, literally. Turns out Keisha's too, Wow.

Speaker 3:

Not so much in common.

Speaker 1:

We need time for that. Hey, you got to turn your cell phones off in the movie theater. Today's episode is brought to you by Johnson Family Funeral Services and Taxidermy, proudly bringing to life anything that might die around you since 1934. Johnson Family Services. You snuff them, we'll stuff them. We're back, we are back. Sorry about that medical emergency. I had to play doctor for a minute. Snuff them, we'll stuff them.

Speaker 3:

We're back. We are back. Sorry about that medical emergency.

Speaker 1:

I had to play doctor for a minute. Did you get off, doogie Howser vibes.

Speaker 3:

I was giving off Doogie Howser. It was cool.

Speaker 1:

Not because he's gay, because you look seven.

Speaker 3:

Oh well, yeah, If I shaved this beard. Oh my God, it's so bad.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

It's so bad. Did you ever see it when I just shaved it all off, except for the mustache?

Speaker 1:

Yes, oh, my god.

Speaker 3:

I look like a pedophile.

Speaker 1:

It absolutely looked like any second that Chris Hansen was going to come out from.

Speaker 3:

I look like the bad guy from Lovely Bones. You walk in, oh fuck.

Speaker 1:

You got a field with a just a door buried.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I've got a guerrilla warfare bunker. Go ahead and have a door buried. Yeah, I've got a guerrilla warfare bunker.

Speaker 1:

Go ahead and have a seat here. Chris Hansen walks into the room.

Speaker 3:

Hope you don't think it's weird that I've got it covered in little girls' toys.

Speaker 1:

It's fine, I swear, you know, I'm just here to see a friend.

Speaker 3:

Oh, it's just for the community. I love the community. Why is there a bed and handcuffs and rope and action figures?

Speaker 1:

Speaking of Pedophiles. Election day coming up.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, big day, big day for pedophiles.

Speaker 1:

Big day for pedos. Pedos will have their day. Yeah, yeah, the lizard people are winning.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I'm really excited.

Speaker 1:

Can't vote for a cop, nope. So I'm in a tight spot. Can't vote for a cop. Can't vote for a racist, definitely can't vote for a racist cop.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, it's kind of putting a rock in a hard place.

Speaker 1:

But I will say I don't know if this is Trump's campaign manager or if Trump I don't like to think Trump made this choice himself but I think Trump looked at the list of the top podcasts in every genre and went on those podcasts. Yeah.

Speaker 3:

He did Theo Vaughn.

Speaker 1:

I know that he did Joe Rogan he done Theo Vaughn, he done Joe Rogan, he done a big sports one. He's done all the major podcasts all the way down.

Speaker 3:

He did Barstool too.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, he done Barstool. He was on one with a girl. I literally think he just found the list of the top podcasts and just went on them.

Speaker 3:

I mean smart.

Speaker 1:

So fucking smart, smart dude, are you kidding? And he sounded way better than like podium trump because he talked like he was normal I don't know that. We listened to the same thing no, okay, so the I thought the theo von when I thought he said some shit, that I was like not even that one the joe rogan one I didn't see.

Speaker 3:

I've not listened to the joe rogan one.

Speaker 1:

It's bad that's different, because joe rogan lights people up, so I'm sure joe rogan's not, he just talked in circles for like hours.

Speaker 3:

That felt like he does that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's, I'm not. I'm against everybody, I'm also. I'm actually I might be against all presidents I might be against.

Speaker 3:

I don't want to vote for anybody we should.

Speaker 1:

Why can't we just do it like what do we have to have? Can't we just do it? Can't we just figure?

Speaker 3:

shit out.

Speaker 1:

We probably could, but that would require people to be good at some level and that's generally not the experience, just accountability, like cut their hands off in the street if they don't.

Speaker 3:

Oh, okay, like Sharia.

Speaker 1:

If they steal stuff. I'm just saying it works.

Speaker 3:

I mean speaking of alien movies, that alien Romulus movie came out Did you watch that?

Speaker 1:

I did not watch Romulus Did you watch it?

Speaker 3:

No, I haven't seen it either, but apparently it's good.

Speaker 1:

It's a horror movie, right?

Speaker 3:

I think so, I mean I think the alien movies are horror movies. Count me out.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, she knows scary movie.

Speaker 2:

Lifetime movie network, like 90s lifetime movie network, is good for me.

Speaker 3:

I thought that movie was. That genre was particularly catered to you.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to be honest with you about something. What's that? I'm not sure anybody here really respects your like film knowledge or anything, oh my god, speaking of which Redemption arc?

Speaker 3:

You know what my favorite film is Cruel Intentions, which you know, and you know what my favorite film is Cruel Intentions, which you know, and you know what they're doing with Cruel Intentions Giving us a TV show.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, fuck it.

Speaker 3:

It's going to be awesome.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, sure that's going to be fucking awesome. Everybody's super excited for the Cruel Intentions television show on probably USA.

Speaker 3:

No, it's on Prime.

Speaker 1:

On FX. Oh yeah, it's on Prime. That's great. It's literally just going to be naked people.

Speaker 3:

The whole show. It's going to be so good.

Speaker 1:

I can't wait to watch it. It's the new Game of Thrones. I'm so excited for it. The Cruel Intentions I tried to read the book. I might watch the other one.

Speaker 3:

I wish you would. I think you should just watch the movie and give it a fourth or fifth chance, or however many times it's been.

Speaker 1:

I love the movie. You're mistaken, I love the movie no.

Speaker 3:

I'm not mistaken, because you don't think it's the best movie ever. I don't think it's like a, I think it's good, just not the best.

Speaker 1:

I don't think it's like a structural piece of film history or anything.

Speaker 3:

I do. I don't know what could possibly be more iconic. Is no hold on the pool scene.

Speaker 1:

I like the pool scene.

Speaker 3:

Pool scene's okay Shower also. The scene where Ryan Phillippe is in that seat and she's crawling up his lap and doing all the things.

Speaker 1:

That's wild, it's pretty hot, that's wild.

Speaker 3:

That changed me as a kid.

Speaker 2:

Pick me, pick me that. And seeing Robin in Batman Forever or whatever the one with kid, pick me, pick me that.

Speaker 3:

And seeing Robin and the Robin in Batman Forever or whatever the one with Mr Freeze.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 3:

The guy that was Robin in that.

Speaker 1:

Chris O'Donnell.

Speaker 3:

Sure, whatever his name is, His name is irrelevant, his name means nothing. He's my awakening.

Speaker 1:

I can see that I knew who I was from a very young age, turns out.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, he was my awakening I could see that. Yeah, I knew who I was from a very young age, so you looked uncomfortable. Yep Turns out.

Speaker 1:

Turns out I should not be this tore up.

Speaker 2:

Mom you're going to be mad. I'm more of a Batman guy, oh God.

Speaker 3:

And then the guy that played Superman in Smallville.

Speaker 1:

Oh, he's hot.

Speaker 3:

I don't know how we got here in this conversation. I just degenerated.

Speaker 1:

Everything leads back to just sex. True, yeah, I don't have a hard time when saying anybody's attractive, like male or female, there's attractive people. When people are just attractive, people are really uncomfortable saying there's attractive people, people are just attractive. People are really uncomfortable with saying it.

Speaker 2:

You think he's hot? Yeah, he's a fucking hot dude. I said that earlier. My bad.

Speaker 1:

No, you're good Fucking. We're here. She's a smoke show.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

But I was like you know, because he's got everything going for him, yeah, yeah he deserves it yeah good money, good dude, he's the best of us, yeah he's the best, for sure, it's not even close?

Speaker 3:

yeah, it's not even close yeah, he won that foot race and we tell him all the time and he'll fucking try to lump himself in.

Speaker 1:

You've been hanging out with a bunch of dudes and, like somebody with a big dick, lumps herself in with the small dick crowd.

Speaker 3:

That's super annoying. Yeah, what a dick bag. Yeah, it's like I hate when people do that, don't act like you have a small dick. You don't get to talk like us. Yeah, you've never had to knuckle up. Yeah, you don't know what it's like.

Speaker 1:

You don't know what it's like to have to be good with every part of your fucking body.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, you don't have to know how to use your body as a weapon. Yeah, as a sexual missile.

Speaker 1:

You don't know yeah.

Speaker 3:

You can't do anything provocative at all before you see them.

Speaker 1:

My groin is an IED and I'm ready to blow. You send me a picture. I have a picture of Richard Nixon saved and I send it to people all the time. I'm like I'm going to send you a dick pic and I send people a picture of Richard Nixon and I'm like I'm not a cock. I made that joke last week.

Speaker 3:

I can't wait to re-laugh at it again when I listen to last week's pod.

Speaker 1:

You're not going to listen to those. I will you? Might I occasionally listen? What's your commute to work? 45 minutes, that's about what mine's supposed to be.

Speaker 3:

It sucks, it's awful.

Speaker 1:

Mine's supposed to be that. I remember reading something that the commute to work Keisha's commute to work Is like Longer than it needs to be Because she has to do Like three loop-de-loops Before she gets anywhere.

Speaker 3:

Speaking of which it takes a million years To get out of here.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, getting from neon To anywhere is hard. Yeah, it's crazy. It's funny that you can get Anywhere from neon, anywhere from Neon, but it takes forever.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, it does seem like all roads lead here. They really do.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, because you can get. I say all roads lead to Isom, but all roads from Isom lead to Neon. Yeah, that's a fact you can get here. Did I do that, my bad?

Speaker 2:

You got Rockhouse, you got Hayman Way, you've got Hayman Hill, you've got.

Speaker 1:

I'll be honest, I get lost a lot when I go on 7 and go around that way. I'm lost right now.

Speaker 3:

Because I don't know where any of these roads are.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you do.

Speaker 3:

Oh, 7 is what goes through Beaver.

Speaker 1:

It goes all around Everything goes through everything.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I'm familiar with that. Yeah, it goes through Beaver I'm familiar with that. Good old Beaver. God, I'm familiar with that. Yeah, good old beaver, good old beaver. God's country.

Speaker 1:

You don't want no beavers, the land Tom forgot I generally have a rule where I don't trust towns named after animals, generally Viper.

Speaker 3:

Mousy Beaver.

Speaker 1:

Mousy Right Bear Bull Creek. That's what I'm saying. These places in general are not safe places to be.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that's what I'm saying these places in general are not safe places to be, yeah, and places that describe Weather.

Speaker 2:

Like, if you ever go to Dry Creek.

Speaker 1:

No, you don't want that.

Speaker 3:

You don't want Hurricane Lane yeah, you don't want to go Muddy Branch yeah, you don't.

Speaker 1:

That's true. That's funny and true. Yeah, it's not yet that's funny and true yeah, it's sad but true.

Speaker 3:

I do think that's probably on purpose yeah, there's probably something to that, like how all bad neighborhood I mean all cities have Muhammad Ali Boulevard and it's always the worst neighborhood. Yeah, there's a comedian that has a joke about that, but it really is true, like they're always they just know.

Speaker 1:

It's like something happened on muhammad ali boulevard and it's like, oh, it's, it's a, it's a shooting, it's fine, because where it?

Speaker 2:

is it's gonna be okay.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we're not really super worried about it um wow I'm just saying yeah, I mean, sometimes the facts are funny, so there's so much road work On my way to work right now that I have to leave earlier than normal To get to work on time. At the same time, cause they're shaving the road and repaving it and shit All the way to Norton On both sides of the road.

Speaker 2:

I feel like every two years they're doing road work.

Speaker 1:

I feel like they're doing it all day, every day, all the time.

Speaker 3:

I'm very thankful that I never have to drive there, ever, for any reason.

Speaker 2:

I prefer going to Norton over Pikeville or Hazard the drive. There's more places to stop if you need anything.

Speaker 3:

That's true, and it's like those places are just better. Well, I mean like like Hazard's the worst and then Pikeville's okay, but Norton has a lot of stuff in it. Norton has a lot of good food.

Speaker 1:

So I mean Norton has a Southern Craft now.

Speaker 3:

I know what that is Barbecue Is it good it's fucking awesome. Okay, it's so good.

Speaker 1:

Okay, you have to come over there. I'm over there every day, so we just fucking eat. We ate Southern Craft. Last week I had my bosses and shit, we're in and we went and ate Southern Craft for barbecue and they got burn-ins. That'll change your life.

Speaker 3:

I love a burn-in.

Speaker 1:

Calm down.

Speaker 3:

I can't.

Speaker 1:

Can't turn it off.

Speaker 3:

Literally can't turn it off I need't, I just can't, can't turn it off, literally can't turn it off. I need it, I need it.

Speaker 1:

You're like 30% asleep.

Speaker 3:

I'm 100% here though.

Speaker 1:

No, you're 100% here. No, no, no. I just meant like in general, like when you got here this morning, no, no no, that wasn't any.

Speaker 3:

That wasn't like Wow, not this morning or this pod has been extremely long.

Speaker 1:

So I've been really fucking busy today and I kind of lost the day Like just doing shit, just doing laundry and shit.

Speaker 3:

I lost it through a nap because I was so hungover. I think I slept probably like four hours, but they were good, a deep, guttural sleep.

Speaker 1:

Some gummy candies took away like three or four hours from me, I don't know oh wow, I'll support that hours from me. I don't know where those went.

Speaker 3:

He boofed them.

Speaker 1:

I did. I boof everything. I boofed my Mountain Dew. That's the way to get to the caffeine the fastest.

Speaker 3:

I watched this thing the other day. That was this girl that was addicted to coffee enemas. Have you seen that?

Speaker 1:

Nuh-uh, what do you mean?

Speaker 3:

She gives herself a coffee enema like three or four times a day, like a hot coffee enema, hot, warm probably.

Speaker 1:

Hot would fuck you up, warmer than room temperature.

Speaker 3:

Approximate butthole temperature.

Speaker 1:

What does that do? You just get it a lot faster.

Speaker 3:

The caffeine Well that, but she's destroying her gut biome like she's washing out all the bacteria, good and bad, and just getting her body addicted to massive loads of caffeine. Her heart is going to enlarge. It's gonna be bad times yeah, just in general like.

Speaker 2:

Is caffeine worth that?

Speaker 3:

How do you get started? Most people just go to hard drugs.

Speaker 1:

How do you get?

Speaker 3:

to that step.

Speaker 1:

What friend group were you in, where they were like hey, you want this espresso shot up your asshole.

Speaker 3:

Well, I had someone from a friend group that probably would propose that at some point.

Speaker 1:

I do feel like I have a couple of friends who would have took a shot of coffee up their butt. I know.

Speaker 3:

I have friends who took a shot Of a lot worse Than coffee Is that on, like my Strange Addict, like the bitch that eats toothbrushes, yeah it's on One of those shows. Yeah Well, yeah, coffee animals. That's gross but tough. I bet she feels good as hell after.

Speaker 1:

I was going to say in my head I'm thinking how good that would probably feel it sounded all upside to me. Yeah, I was thinking I don't have to drink coffee. I don't really like the taste of it.

Speaker 3:

Bree's going to wake up in the middle of the night and go to the bathroom, and you're going to be in the floor with a cup of coffee.

Speaker 1:

Just get a turkey baster and just go to Food World and buy a turkey baster. I just go to Food World and buy a turkey baster and some Kellogg's or some Folgers.

Speaker 3:

That's what I'm talking about Some instant roast.

Speaker 1:

I would also Kellogg's. That made me think I would probably do the same thing with Captain Crunch.

Speaker 3:

It just becomes your new obsession. You leave wrestling figures behind and you just get a really nice espresso pot. You start doing high class craft coffee.

Speaker 1:

Why don't you have any mugs? Because I don't drink coffee.

Speaker 3:

I don't like the taste of coffee. I'm just roasting some beans, oh.

Speaker 1:

God, roasting some beans is what it would be called.

Speaker 3:

What your business? Your craft, coffee, animal business, roasting some beans.

Speaker 1:

Evidently there's business for it, because there's at least one person who you'd make money off of.

Speaker 3:

There's a target audience, for sure.

Speaker 1:

Why don't everybody sell feet pics? Do you ever think about that?

Speaker 3:

I know why I don't why? Because my feet are perfectly square and look like ham.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I can't. Why don't everybody with decent feet sell feet pics?

Speaker 3:

No, that's a good question. Why doesn't everyone who has even a close to decent body do adult films?

Speaker 1:

That's what I don't understand either. Yeah, I don't get that. If I had the body for it, I'd be in it. I can't do any films Me. Either I can't fit in the frame I'm not going to be shirtless or my skin flaps prevent me from being in the wind. My face flap does. Yeah, I always think that Maybe it's Texas, maybe it's like I don't know Texas. My favorite political commercial is not to get back to the politics again, but to get back to the politics again. Texas has put out some fucking bangers lately, just like too liberal for texas. That's, that's all my favorite. My favorite ones like kamala kamala supports sex changes in prison. That's, that's the big one I lit donald trump.

Speaker 3:

I literally heard him say the day and they were talking about Kamala saying that kids go and get detention at school and they come out with a sex change. Those words literally. People are talking about a lot of wild stuff right now. A lot of wild stuff, that's a hell of a detention. Yeah, that's a quick. I think they're good surgeons at the public school that can't afford new have books but somehow has a surgeon to perform sexual summit.

Speaker 1:

I'm impressed by the whole thing, honestly.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, if only we could get metal detectors to prevent shootings.

Speaker 1:

God, if only the metal detectors mattered, since the only person in the building was supposed to have a gun. What are we talking about?

Speaker 3:

I'm not sure. Recruitment.

Speaker 1:

I keep getting lost on it. Uh, that's why I'm a poser.

Speaker 3:

That whole, this whole conversation, was like 50 minutes of me just telling you that I'm a poser, because well, it's also me posing, because I came on to this podcast about hating your job and wanting to quit your job, but I actually like my job and don't want to quit currently to be fair, the only person we convinced to quit their job, um, had to go back to their job because they can get a different one but the spirit is alive, the spirit, the spirit of it was it was.

Speaker 1:

It's always alive. I think quitting is back again. Yeah, quitting is in. Yeah, quitting and just doing nothing is in. I know a lot of people who are just fucking quitting and doing nothing yeah, and I want to quit.

Speaker 3:

every day I'm there, I'm constantly talking about it. It lives in a place in my mind that I could reach. I could get there.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, everybody knows that if I won any substantial amount of money, that was more than like $12.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, if I won just like $1,500. It wouldn't have to be a lot Like $1 If it got me through like a year, not even that.

Speaker 1:

If it just got me a month, if I won a payday On the lottery, I would quit.

Speaker 3:

If they somehow gave me an extra payday, they would lose one employee.

Speaker 1:

I would just quit. You guys are fucking rolling this bank through.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, 100%. I'm riding that wave. I want to invest it and become a crypto flipper.

Speaker 1:

I started my 401k account that wave. I want to invest it and become a crypto flipper. I started my 401k account the other day. I had some other ones from some other jobs, but nothing substantial.

Speaker 3:

Does your company match? Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 1:

They match. I wanted to be super fucking aggressive because I was like I'd like to either be totally broke or retire in 10 years.

Speaker 2:

Just put everything. You should just put what they match. I recently got a check in the mail like a week ago from an employer in 2016 and I didn't even realize I'd paid enough into it to get anything back and I got it $107. I got back, but it took almost 10 years.

Speaker 3:

Wow, that's crazy. Have you seen that people are getting those checks from the Juul vape lawsuits? They're getting like four and five grand. One guy got like $60,000 just randomly to his Venmo because of that.

Speaker 1:

That would be nice.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I wish I had bought a Juul as an impressionable youth instead of as a grizzled old man.

Speaker 1:

So Juul's just fucked everybody up.

Speaker 3:

I think it's because they were marketing them to kids. Oh, they were definitely doing that.

Speaker 1:

They were definitely doing that. Fucking Joe Campbell fucked everything up for everybody.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, thanks for smoking.

Speaker 1:

Thank you for smoking. He's the one that did that. I guess he's the original cool motherfucker.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, he's the original cool guy. He was cool. Yeah, he's the James Dean of the answer.

Speaker 1:

I would definitely smoke if Joe Campbell told me to.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

So I'd be an impressionable kid.

Speaker 3:

I think that's how I got where I am now.

Speaker 1:

Joe Campbell. Yeah, I rode Joe Campbell's wave and I started smoking. You rode Joe Camel something.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, jockeyed him, jockeyed Joe Camel.

Speaker 1:

That's the name of my next movie, joe Camel Jockey. Yeah, your next movie. You already got one, yeah.

Speaker 3:

My first film. Is that what it's called? What my first film yeah.

Speaker 2:

It's self-titled. I love it.

Speaker 1:

My first movie.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, my first film, my early works.

Speaker 1:

I'd name my first one, my second one, what that blew my mind. I don't want to throw you off too much here. That joke took me places. Yeah, I'm just going to cut all this anyway, that whole thing I'm just going to cut anyway.

Speaker 2:

He said that on the last episode and he did not cut anything. He said he was going to cut, did I not?

Speaker 1:

No, what did I say? I was going to cut. Oh yeah, I didn't cut that.

Speaker 2:

I didn't cut that.

Speaker 1:

That was really funny. Come on, it was really funny.

Speaker 2:

I'm not complaining.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, the whole thing was really funny.

Speaker 2:

Just back to the poser.

Speaker 1:

I did cut a lot of shit, fuck you. I did cut a lot of shit, though there was a lot of stuff michael talk, and michael talked for like 10 minutes. He'll go. No, you can't put that on there. Yeah, he's just talking about all kinds of shit and he was like, uh, that might be government secrets, I'm not sure you gotta fucking just cut that. I can't talk about any of that you know what?

Speaker 3:

I'm just distracted right now Because you have luscious locks and you have good skin.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, oh, my hair's down. Yeah, I'm very pretty, nick, I'm just very fat.

Speaker 3:

I just never predicted that you have really good skin.

Speaker 1:

Oh, why is that, you think?

Speaker 3:

I don't know I bathed today too.

Speaker 1:

Congratulations, that was a big thing. Sunday bath is a big thing for me. It was all for you.

Speaker 3:

I appreciate that.

Speaker 1:

I wonder if I'll always be with you.

Speaker 2:

So you wouldn't have to smell him Like you smelled the guy at the IGA.

Speaker 3:

Oh my god.

Speaker 1:

The musk of a man is what he would smell, and that's pleasurable.

Speaker 2:

Took it through a straw With your robe on you, you kind of look like a Viking right now. I am a fucking Viking In your headphones like.

Speaker 1:

So I am. I'm more of a Viking than any of your friends.

Speaker 3:

That's a fact. All my friends are twinks. You're definitely more of a Viking than all of them combined.

Speaker 1:

I'm very little like a Viking and I'm more of a Viking than them.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, exactly, you could put all of them together in one trench coat and they would look like a Muppet, like you could fit all of them in one medium-sized trench coat.

Speaker 1:

Well, you know all my friends. I do know all your friends, it's just people who come on this podcast.

Speaker 3:

That's true.

Speaker 1:

There's like seven people.

Speaker 2:

They're directly involved in the podcast. Good people, though. Yeah. Well, monroe, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Monroe's a good guy. Keisha flipped me off.

Speaker 2:

Bye.

Speaker 1:

Twice actually.

Speaker 3:

She got you good.

Speaker 1:

She wanted to get, oh yeah.

Speaker 3:

A full glass of water.

Speaker 1:

No, I don't want to say anything. I got nothing. You're good, I ain't gonna, I ain't gonna bother you about it. Um, I love, oh, she got it for me. Damn damn, get the little clap thing going on there about kill tony. You ever watch kill tony? I love kill tony. Yeah, I think about the lovely, uh. The lovely, uh, what's her fucking name? The girl who's so fine that comes out there and gives them the stuff that show rocks man I don't ever watch like the full videos of like the full video.

Speaker 1:

I just watch the clips so I don't love tony hinchcliffe. I like him, I like what he's created. I like that program. I think that program is good I like that.

Speaker 3:

He's like a comedian for comedy's sake, like he just is there to make a joke that's what.

Speaker 1:

what I like too. He wants you to remember that we are comedians and trying to be funny. Don't actually care if we offend you, because if it's funny and somebody laughs at it, how offensive is it really? That's pretty bad, everybody's so damn sensitive since 9-11.

Speaker 3:

Something about those goofy-11, you know, yeah, something about those goofy-ass towers meant something.

Speaker 1:

Oh gosh, I come to this country to make my own 9-11.

Speaker 3:

Okay, we're all definitely on a watch list now. Oh my God.

Speaker 1:

Oh sorry, I think Eric puts us on a fucking watch list just existing.

Speaker 3:

That's a fact. The list for Flotsam Korea.

Speaker 1:

So he was here earlier and I was like the podcast is next night, you wanna stay around?

Speaker 3:

Yes. You delayed reaction I thought you were going somewhere with it.

Speaker 1:

I was going somewhere with it. He said no, fuck, nick, I'm not staying.

Speaker 3:

Okay, that's a fair perspective, one that a lot of people share. Bingo, bingo, bongo.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you're man. I love your car. I'm obsessed with it. You should be. I'm very proud of you.

Speaker 3:

It's a 2025 Durango GT it. I'm very proud of you. It's a 2025 Durango GT. It's really nice Car payment from hell.

Speaker 1:

Oh really, Breeze, car I mean we pay a shit ton on that. And that's just the way it is, we have one car payment at a time.

Speaker 3:

Is that my insurance is cheaper on that car on that Durangoango than it was on my Chevy cruise Like $40 cheaper.

Speaker 1:

Why is it? Was your cruise red? Yeah, surely that can't be it.

Speaker 3:

No, I mean, I was like obviously it's a factor, but my God, it couldn't be $40 worth of factor, right, that's crazy.

Speaker 1:

I think, 33.

Speaker 3:

Old as hell.

Speaker 1:

I ain't even going to make it very much longer.

Speaker 2:

Sometimes there's a price difference, Like if you get a discount, like I think, when you turn what 25 or 50.

Speaker 3:

Well, there was a point where I was paying.

Speaker 2:

Ex-owner cars on your policy or something maybe you got yeah.

Speaker 3:

Well, my ex totaled a brand new Honda Accord that I had, and after that my car insurance on my cruise was $818 a month it was double my car payment, and then I paid that for like six or so months and then it went down to like four or something and then at the end I was paying like $220. And then when I traded it in that, one's insurance. Yeah, and then now that one's insurance. Yeah, and then now that one's insurance is $180,000.

Speaker 1:

That's so much, I think, though.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, we think $180,000 is a lot.

Speaker 2:

It is, but in the grand scheme of things, no $180,000. I mean, I pay, Is that full coverage? Yeah, mine's a 2016 Ford Escape. It's just four-cylinder and I pay almost 90 a month full coverage. But prior to that, the Santa Fe I had, that was a 2008,. I was paying 140 on. So it's a newer car, you know, and it's less than what the other was.

Speaker 1:

Whatever man, I got a Jeep Wrangler that just chills and I'm just waiting to uh, um, waiting to teach clay to. I gotta teach clay to drive pretty soon yeah, you do got a small business.

Speaker 1:

Uh, welcome back in again. Another break. Had uh step away again because it's the middle of the night and everybody's tired and has to take breaks. Keisha said I've not talked about recruitment enough. She's called me out on what I was going to talk about. Is that again me being a loser and a poser? She wants me to bring that up. I've been a hypocrite that I've recruited multiple people to come out to work with me and it's like get their bonuses from them.

Speaker 1:

Oh, not, you being a corporate leech, don't fucking judge me Maybe I feel like I shouldn't share any of this information with people.

Speaker 3:

How many of them still work there? All of them.

Speaker 2:

All Maybe, yeah, probably.

Speaker 1:

Minus one maybe.

Speaker 3:

At least you're a good leech, good corporate one.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I know what I'm doing, at least.

Speaker 3:

You're not referring people that are just quitting. That's good. How long do they have to work there before you get the bonus? Six months, that's not too bad.

Speaker 1:

No, it's not too terrible. I feel like um you know, people generally like it, so yeah, everybody I talk to says it's a good work environment.

Speaker 3:

Everybody that I know that works there says they enjoy working there, which is a testament to it in one way or another that's true, um, since uh got that out of the way now, key.
