Unpaid Lunch : A Podcast About Work
Cringe Haircuts and Fashion Flops, Spooky Movie Chatter, and a Nostalgic Tech Trip Down Memory Lane!
Remember the days of dial-up internet and rotary phones? Heavy D, Monroe, Key, and Lynn take a trip down memory lane, celebrating 10,000 downloads and nearly 50 episodes of Unpaid Lunch. We kick things off with power outage stories from workplaces that range from hilarious to downright chaotic—think hospitals running on landline phones and rotary devices. As we reminisce about ancient tech like BlackBerrys, we tease upcoming guests and relish the camaraderie that makes our breaks a blast.
In a fashion faux pas fiesta, we laugh at old style choices that should've never seen the light of day. From catastrophic hair dyes to eyebrow blunders, we share tales that are as cringeworthy as they are hilarious. Horror flicks sneak into the chat, with haircuts compared to iconic film characters, and our mixed feelings on "Terrifier 3" add fuel to the fire. The chapter ends with a nod to some of the most bizarre things we've witnessed at work, delivering plenty of humor and nostalgia.
We then venture into the future, brainstorming about wireless mics and "Dirty Jobs"-style interviews. Monroe gets serious with a poignant ER story that sparks a conversation on mental health, while we dream up fresh show formats and give a nod to AI's possible rise or rebellion. Our wander into spontaneity and sports brings personal stories of parenting and playful Halloween plans into the mix. So buckle up for a ride full of laughs, insights, and a few spirited tangents that make our show a rollercoaster of fun.(All of our descriptions are done with AI, So enjoy them as much as we do)

Speaker 3:Just hit the button.
Speaker 1:Well, I pointed towards you and I thought you knew. Sorry, you were out of your element. I think it's the first time you've done show in color. That's okay, I don't care, I don't care what's going on. Uh, monroe, been good. You've been on every. You've been on every episode of unpaid lunch for like six months almost yeah, even like I don't know, we hit, we hit.
Speaker 1:We're a little over a year on that, and then the 10 000 downloads and I think this is the. I think this is 49, actually 49 like the number 49, not counting the bonus episodes and shit, but we already got the badge for 50 episodes. But yeah, thanks everybody for supporting us All the way through. It's fun. We're having a good time. Linz hasn't been on the show in forever and we always have the best time and the mics are never on. We're having the best time.
Speaker 3:Clearly that's the best time. At times mics are never on when we're having the best time. Clearly that's the best time At times. It's a good thing they are not on.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel like if we talked, for if this is an hour episode, it's actually a 30-minute episode.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Just cutting shit that we're just rambling about.
Speaker 1:Shouldn't have talked about anyway. Yes, toe was going to be on tonight, but he had prior engagement, so sorry for anybody who retched out. And then I told him Toe was going to be on, but Toe's going to be a regular. He loves doing it. I told him I'm forcing him to be here because all the listeners want Toe to be here, and then Rhino's healing up, so as soon as he feels better he's gonna be back too. I'm making him. You know, has any choice, so you're gonna do about it is what it is.
Speaker 3:I think toe is a really good asset yeah, he is he's great to have here.
Speaker 1:I was excited about so we're. I wanted to touch on the couple weeks ago at that, like where the power went out at work, and I always think about different departments when you're working somewhere, like how work stoppages affect you and what you have to do and, like I know monroe in medical field, if there's like if the power doesn't really go out in a hospital, but when it does, it's wild yeah, yeah everything's nuts I've never seen it happen, but right it could break loose, I think it happened during the flood in Whitesburg Really.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because they had to, like emergency, evacuate everybody from the hospital. Yeah, because the grid was down, really so.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think this was it the nursing home.
Speaker 1:The nursing home.
Speaker 2:The nursing home.
Speaker 1:Because it actually got flooded right. Yeah, that's what it was. But when you're working, when you have a job, that's like you don't have to do anything, like if you work at school. That's what I was thinking about. I was thinking about you. The power goes out at school, y'all get it made. You're just hanging out, it's perfect. Not you, because you're probably working from home, so I don't care anyway.
Speaker 2:I mean home. I'm just in a room with two other people by myself, but kids go berserk. So teacher wise. It's not fun, but if you don't have any major responsibilities, then it's. You're just chilling.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm an IT, so it actually sucked this time around. It's the first time I've ever been affected by being like oh, I actually have to do something. Everybody calling in yeah it actually kind of sucks. I actually have to do something. It's working.
Speaker 2:When the power was out. I was talking to the kids you know about used to, when power would go out, what we would do, you know, and the fact that landline phones still work even though the power was out, and we would call into the radio station and request songs to be played and use our battery-operated radios. And it was just so foreign to them they're like what's it mean to request a song?
Speaker 3:Did they even know what a radio?
Speaker 2:was no, I mean honestly yeah the kids don't have a clue.
Speaker 1:I love that. You ever seen that YouTube video where they're talking about or where they give the kids they'll give them so much money if they can figure out how to dial a phone number on a touch or a dial A rotary, the rotary. Yeah, you figure out how to dial a phone number on this. It'll give you $5,000. Can't do it, To be fair.
Speaker 3:Absolutely cannot. But that is hard, it's a hard thing to do.
Speaker 1:It is a hard thing. Struggle with it.
Speaker 3:It was very confusing.
Speaker 1:You know what's harder Using a BlackBerry?
Speaker 3:Oh my gosh, that was like the first smartphone I ever had.
Speaker 1:We all did little rolly ball thing couldn't deal no, I went through like five. They're like slide screen yeah that one was terrible, the one you slide over and flip up and you flip it up and you're.
Speaker 1:It was so small everything I was never had one of those. Really, I had the blackberry. We're a little bit older than you, though, so it was like you. We caught the back end, we didn't we? The cell phone, the first cell phone, the razor. Did you have a razor? Yes, that was the first cell phone, the Razr. Did you have a Razr? Yes, that was the first one I ever had. I could text from my pocket with a Razr without looking at it. It's much easier to text on that than it is a keyboard.
Speaker 3:It was.
Speaker 1:Like from your pocket, you could send SOS messages.
Speaker 3:I mean, and you knew.
Speaker 1:You knew where the buttons were. Yeah, you knew if you were on the 5. Yeah, it's got the little dot on it, it's got a dot.
Speaker 2:Did you ever wear the springs out in your screen from just like flipping it open?
Speaker 1:Flipping it too much, yeah.
Speaker 3:You couldn't kill those phones out though.
Speaker 1:Buddy, I worked night shift to gas station. I just sat there all night long flipping my phone back and forth and playing Snake.
Speaker 2:I don't think mine ever quit working, though.
Speaker 3:My mom still has a few, and every now and then she'll charge them up for the kids to play with, and they still come on.
Speaker 1:Nokia, those Nokia phones. They're like nothing but death taxes and Nokia 2200s or whatever. It's the only things that are permanent. Those are lasting forever, Forever.
Speaker 2:They'll find those in, like 100,000 years ancient relics of a lost civilization yeah, it's still, it's just flashing imagine our kids though using phones today with screens the size that we did or prepaid phone cards like you only get 300 minutes. There's crazy stuff they couldn't you know. Or oh yeah, prepaid phone cards Like you only get 300 minutes, yeah, you know, like what would that be like?
Speaker 1:There's crazy stuff. I think about all the time. There's crazy stuff like when text used to cost you.
Speaker 3:Like every text, it was like a dollar yeah.
Speaker 1:Every text. I think it was like they went up over time.
Speaker 3:That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:And then eventually it was just free. They were like oh you know what, everybody's just sending a million texts. Now We've got to do something about this.
Speaker 3:The one text didn't first become a thing here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, stop texting me. It's costing me so much money. Wait until after 9 pm.
Speaker 3:Yeah, my minutes are free. Yep On the weekends too.
Speaker 2:It's, you know, unlimited talk, text and data. You know, you know it's like he said. It used to be after 9pm and before a certain time, and on the weekends it was a different time and yeah none of that, no more.
Speaker 1:I have to tell a really funny story about old people not knowing how technology works. So I've had the discussion before about my dad and the difference in netflix and the internet and he doesn't know the difference in netflix, the internet and he doesn't like he can't figure out. They're the same thing. Wi-fi and netflix are the same thing. So my aunt gets hornswoggled, hoon-dangled, hoggle-swoggled by Gearheart because they do this thing where they give you Now, their cable is just an app. Do you have it? Their cable is just an app, that's all their cable is.
Speaker 1:Their box is basically a Roku box and it has their app on it, which is the gearheart app, and it's just a streaming, sir. I mean it's just like youtube tv, it's just what is the streaming service, exactly yeah it's exactly what it is.
Speaker 1:But then on the roku, you know, on the box, it has netflix and youtube tv and like all that stuff because you can use them if you sign into them. Yeah, well, they're kind of misleading to older people and kind of tell them that they have that stuff Like. So my Aunt Edda just thinks she has that shit Like she doesn't know.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, because they don't know, because she thinks it's included with her stuff and I was like no, that's unfortunately it's not how it works. They say it's written. They don't understand. My mother told me that she had to explain to them how data worked. Oh Lord, because they didn't know that. They thought when you were out, the way that you were sending messages and receiving messages and using the internet was you're picking up people's Wi-Fi's from, just like in their houses and stuff. That's what they thought was going on. They didn't know that you just had internet and they're like where is it at? And mom was like what do you mean?
Speaker 2:They're like, where does it come from?
Speaker 1:She's like the towers, like air Satellites. Yes, I don't know how it works, I just know it does. How does the radio work? How does the microwave work? I don't. I just. I'm surprised that people don't know things.
Speaker 2:Mom's the same way. She didn't know the difference in my fine data. She's like well you know, I ended up just turning her data off when she's out, because hers is unlimited.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And her and dad done the same thing and dad's bill was like $400 over. Oh and to find out he was watching Andy Griffith on, or something on, Netflix on his phone while waiting for the kids from school. Oh gosh, he was using data, yeah.
Speaker 1:Beautiful.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's like well. I didn't know what's the difference. It's like well.
Speaker 3:Well, you know, they didn't grow up with that and don't understand it. You know it is a hard thing to understand. Actually my sister, 42 years old, and she cannot understand it either.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:She's just like them.
Speaker 1:That scared me.
Speaker 3:It did me too that flash got me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't understand. Well, I just want kids to understand the struggle that we went through, everything that they do. It sounds so old, it sounds like the most old man Statement ever, but like I want you to know, for granted you take watching a video. Like how long it took for me To watch a video, the work I had to do it would have to load for 45 minutes Before you could ever start to watch it.
Speaker 1:God forbid. I wanted to find a place To see a naked woman on the internet. Okay, and that was a real hard thing to do. Okay, because there's pop-ups and you know, and you got to find somebody to blame it on.
Speaker 2:And it's dial-up.
Speaker 3:Yeah and there's dial-up. Yeah and there's dial-up, and if somebody calls it's going to kick you off.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you're halfway through and the phone rings. You're halfway through and your Aunt Martha's on the line and you've got to answer it.
Speaker 2:Hey Aunt.
Speaker 1:Martha, get me off the phone. You download all of it and it's just Lion King. So then you've just got to watch Lion King. But so then you just gotta watch Lion King. But that's what I was gonna say is now we're better equipped, though, because now that Pornhub's gone, rip no. I don't know if that applies, I'm just saying, now that it's gone, um, you know, I'm back to using LimeWire pirated, pirated downloads. Now that it's gone, you know, I'm back to using LimeWire Pirated downloads.
Speaker 1:I'm not really, I'm just kidding, what website do you use? I just Google it now. Okay, like I just Google it, and whichever one you can use, we'll just let you get in. Yeah, so it's really probably just best to just Google stuff, you're right?
Speaker 2:Anyway, it's just you picked the top two or three. It's going to get through it, yeah.
Speaker 1:She knows what's up. That's the only. It's funny. I don't care about the government anymore at all. I don't care about God. Jesus, I can't believe it's still doing that. I've W-40'd it.
Speaker 3:You what W-40'd it? W-40'd it. Okay, w-40'd it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, sure, hey, yeah, y'all the ones to correct me. Sure, y'all straight, ain't you? Look at you? What are you looking at me like that for? And I just caught you, just got caught up in it. That was funny.
Speaker 3:I knew I could feel it.
Speaker 1:Did you get that vape?
Speaker 3:What vape? I don't have a vape.
Speaker 1:I'll cut this, don't worry.
Speaker 2:Not from her. It's funny. Addictive friend, addictive personality friend.
Speaker 1:How much stuff I tell Keisha I'm going to cut in episodes.
Speaker 2:And you just not cut them.
Speaker 1:It's really just.
Speaker 2:Really needs to be a sound on the board at this point? What?
Speaker 1:I'm going to make it. I'm going to add it right now, like Jesus. I'm going to add it right now. Jesus, we went off the rails here.
Speaker 2:We went off the deep end.
Speaker 1:We are off the track for sure, See Toe keeps us in order.
Speaker 2:What are the Lady Gaga lyrics?
Speaker 1:What are the Lady Gaga lyrics?
Speaker 2:I'm off the deep end.
Speaker 1:I don't know those, I don't know what you're saying. So whatever.
Speaker 2:So I have a question Do it as far as the cards are concerned.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're going to get a card. I was getting ready to get to a card. That's where I was going.
Speaker 3:I was actually reading through them.
Speaker 1:Monroe's reading through them. Do you just want to pick a random one? Monroe just wants to read through them. I think Just pick a card off the table. We're going to do a tow card. Who do you want to read it? You want to read it. You want somebody to read it? You want to read it, kay, I'll read it. Okay, read it. Toe card. Have you done one of these? You've not done one of these, lins, uh-uh. Yeah, toe brought these the third time he was on. Second or third time he was on. He brought a bunch of these cards. He brought a bunch of these cards and they're just different questions for us to go over or things to talk about. You got one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think we've got both of these, though. Oh, we have done them yeah.
Speaker 1:Let's do, it's okay. There's one here.
Speaker 2:Okay, got one, yep.
Speaker 1:Do it.
Speaker 2:What fashion choice have you made that you now regret?
Speaker 1:Oh I wonder if that's going to be a permanent fashion choice like getting quit your job tattooed on your body.
Speaker 2:Right, mine would have been the first time I decided to go blind, and the lady that done it had no idea what she was doing. So my hair looked copper and it felt so stringy oh it was awful.
Speaker 3:You burned it up, nice, I would have to say over-plucking the eyebrows, because I have none now. They're just gone. They're gone, they're gone. I have to put them on there every day. I really wish I had never done that.
Speaker 1:So they just don't grow back and you keep plugging and plugging.
Speaker 3:Well, I mean, you know, back in the day when we were teenagers, that was the trend to have basically no eyebrows, no eyebrows at all. Yeah, and that I do not understand. But now, as an adult, I still don't have any, because we pluck them so much that they just You're really good at painting them. Thank you.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:It's become an art now, you know.
Speaker 1:Clay's overexcited about the Vikings. He is.
Speaker 2:The lady that done mine jacked them up, yeah, and you can still see how off the tattoos are.
Speaker 3:They're terrible. I got mine done during COVID tattooed on and now, obviously they need to be redone. Well, maybe we'll have another pandemic.
Speaker 1:Maybe, who knows, it could happen anytime. It could. Monroe, I'm just going to go ahead and assume that you don't have any fashion choices you regret.
Speaker 2:Not really, no, no.
Speaker 1:I think your wardrobe's been the same the whole time I've known you. Yes, it has that, you've been wearing that sweatshirt for 10 years. Yes, like as a child like haircuts. No did you ever have like a bowl?
Speaker 2:cut.
Speaker 1:I think you probably wore that hat this whole life true yeah uh, I have so many.
Speaker 3:When I was little, I had a rat tail oh shit that's gotta be it.
Speaker 2:That's where we're at.
Speaker 3:I had that one coming. It was long you give off fucking rat tail vibes he does Like I can see him as a little kid, your daddy loved that shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's like you're my boy rat tail. He loved that shit. That's nice. Yeah, I had all that shit. There's a really, really bad picture of me as a grown man with a bowl cut. It's, it exists, you do know. Yeah, it exists somewhere and I make like I look like a fucking cartoon character I'm telling you it is the goofiest fucking picture, like if I wanted it to be you.
Speaker 1:Honestly, I think it's me and my brother. Uh, I think it's me and my brother and he's like pinching my nipple or something. So I'm making like a.
Speaker 3:Is it like a Dumb and Dumber haircut?
Speaker 1:Yes, it's exactly I fucking look just like Fat Harry is who I look like. That's what my hair is. It was the worst haircut and that's why my hair is long is because I never had a good haircut. Every time you get somebody to cut your hair off they don't know what Because I'm like I don't really want it real long, but I don't want it short. I don't want a short haircut and they're like okay, I know right what you want.
Speaker 1:And it's gone and I'm fucking like well, you didn't know what I wanted, because now I look like the kid from child's play, not child's play Hold. Not Child's Play. Hold on Little Red-Headed Kid. That's really mean, andy, dennis no.

Speaker 1:You would.
Speaker 2:What's the worst thing you've seen at work?
Speaker 1:Oh shit, oh shit At any work. I was just thinking about how much gross stuff happened at Double Quick, and that has to be just the stuff that happens in the parking lot, the stuff that happens in the bathrooms there.
Speaker 3:Oh, I can just imagine.
Speaker 1:Yeah it's pretty gross Car wash.
Speaker 2:Ew Stuff.
Speaker 1:I've seen at the car wash, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Like connected to the gas station.
Speaker 1:What do you mean? Like? Where were you at that? You seen it? The car wash. Oh yeah, like connected to the gas station. What do you mean? Like? Where were you at that? You seen it? Neon, you were like in the car wash.
Speaker 2:Like pulled up to go through the car wash.
Speaker 1:yes, oh, and you were just white.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Watching people who are creepy black. You know what. I don't know what your plans are here. I don't know what your plans are here. I don't know what's going on. So, listen, what should we do for the 50th episode? We really need to ask. People really need to tell us, because we're going to be two weeks till we record again. Within two weeks, we have two guests lined up, so I think we'll probably do either two episodes that week or I've been making a lot of false promises lately just because, so you know, we're set up to do mobile.
Speaker 1:I'd kind of like to get some mobile mics, like I've got the whole setup that we can take these with us, but it's a lot of gear and you can get wireless mics that work with the system. I'd kind of like to do that, to get wireless mics and we could do on-location stuff. We've been talking about wanting to do that, to get wireless mics and we could do on location stuff. We've been talking about wanting to do that in a while, like Dirty Jobs style. Oh yeah, like actually. Oh, that would be fun. Yeah, actually go like interview people on site. I just think that'd be fucking awesome. Oh yeah, we just run in and interview people. Do a click. That would be really cool, it would be awesome.
Speaker 2:Everybody at McDonald's will tell you oh yeah, they'd all work for you, yeah.
Speaker 1:I actually have rapport with drive-thru workers everywhere in Norton. I know all the people in all the drive-thrus in Norton.
Speaker 3:And they're always disgruntled, so they're ready to they're not disgruntled with me, though. They're like your car smells real good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's why I get along with them all my lunch breaks an hour. Um, I had somebody quote to me the the. Oh, it was um, danny, the thing. Danny, danny last night was like boss makes a dollar. He did, yeah, I make a dime. And I was like hey, do you know? Do you know who you're talking to? I say that all the time. I only poop on company time. There's no reason why would I poop on company time if I can get paid for it? If I have to poop in the mornings, I try to hold it, because if I can just wait 45 minutes, I can get paid for it.
Speaker 3:I'm just saying I'm just saying, literally never thought about it like that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if you can just hold it and get to work, you can get paid to poop. That's solid, really good, and you can poop with other people Because there's a bunch of stalls Always full. It wouldn't be an Unpaid Lunch episode if we didn't talk about a little bit of poop.
Speaker 2:You're correct.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so there's. I think that happens. It has to be poop.
Speaker 3:Frequently you know what.
Speaker 1:It's just a part of life. Life, poop, death.
Speaker 3:Basically.
Speaker 1:That just explains everything. Actually Super depressing yeah.
Speaker 3:Thanks, Monroe.
Speaker 2:What's the worst thing you've seen at work, monroe? God, yeah, you get fired. I don't know who I am.
Speaker 1:What's the worst thing you've seen at work, Monroe? God, yeah, you get fired. They don't know who I am. All right To be fair. This is not the thing that would get you fired.
Speaker 3:No.
Speaker 1:There's multiple other things that would get you fired.
Speaker 3:So just say it. Probably, when I was working in the ER and a guy came in with his trauma and he shot himself yeah, right through the bottom of the chin.
Speaker 1:Oh delicious.
Speaker 3:I bet that was nasty.
Speaker 1:Yeah, not being able to kill yourself is an extra level of.
Speaker 2:Torture.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's a whole new level.
Speaker 1:It's like you thought you were a failure before.
Speaker 3:But you have leveled up now.
Speaker 1:Wait till you're really depressed later and you're like I couldn't even kill myself. I couldn't do nothing right, I can't even do that. Yeah, I'm just kidding. Impression's real it is. I wish I had that phone number to put in here. I might just put the Logic song in right here. They changed the number, they changed the phone number and like Logic was like well shit, and he's got that song with the like. The title of that song is the suicide.
Speaker 3:I mean make that make sense that they changed the number Please.
Speaker 1:I think it's like a text line now, I think you dial the number and they call you or something. I don't know what it is, doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 3:Makes no sense to me, were you here for Super.
Speaker 1:Show.
Speaker 2:I feel like she was, I think.
Speaker 1:I was Bro, fucking everybody was here, jesus. That's why it was like the 50th episode. We need to do something, not that, but not that. Again, I don't know what we're going to do, but we're not going to do that. I thought we could do like. That's why I kind of want to wait a couple weeks. I do. I want people's opinions too, like just small interviews with everybody, instead of doing like everybody here, yeah, like just have people in. I'll record some interviews throughout the week.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, just a little small with yeah, with other people.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think that'd be really good I'd do something you could do like a mash-up of the interviews and like, yeah, have a just a clip of like a question from each one that you play, yeah, at the beginning of the show and I'm gonna put some pretty cool content on patreon for just the people who've stuck with us.
Speaker 1:Uh, like there's, I have a ton of backlog of stuff that was cut. That like that, we cut that like just unreleased shit. That's not like sensitive stuff, but it's just stuff that we were. Oh yeah, mostly the pre-show stuff. You know we'll record for 10 minutes before we actually like cut the show, so like mostly that shit. And that shit's funny sometimes because we're just hanging out and talking about nothing, but sometimes it has people's names in it.
Speaker 2:So after a rata. Those cuts.
Speaker 1:But luckily we have. Ai Rhino told me today that this is the year that Skynet was supposed to take over. Did you know?
Speaker 3:that Really?
Speaker 1:Ironic since Was it 2024?
Speaker 3:Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1:Ironic, since Google just announced that their new software was built almost exclusively by AI.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Not to quote iRobot, but I mean they're like an iRobot yeah, yeah, he's doing iRobot but I mean Elon's like an iRobot yeah, yeah, he's doing iRobot shit. Does that not freak you all out? I think we'll be dead.
Speaker 1:I think we'll be dead before it matters. Our kids probably won't, but I think we will. I think that's going to take about 20 or 30 years for it to actually affect people and especially here. It actually probably won't ever affect people here it may not. I heard that the reason they're redoing all the roads like Norton, you know, all the roads are getting stripped and redone and relined I heard it's because they're going to start passing federal regulations because smart cars can't drive on our roads.
Speaker 3:Because there's no lines, so they can't drive on our roads.
Speaker 1:Because there's no lines, so they can't pick up the lines, that's why even the haulers now are lined White lines on both sides, no yellow line. So the cars are trained to stay next to the white lines. That's how they track. White lines is how they track. That's good, I guess. I mean that's how they track. It's white lines, it's how they track, so that's good, I guess.
Speaker 3:I mean that's a good thing yeah.
Speaker 1:We get roads that are real.
Speaker 3:Yes, oh yeah, on my way up here, because I haven't been up here in a little while, I was like oh my God, I can drive. Look. I was like the road is fixed is amazing.
Speaker 1:I actually think that might have just been because everybody complained so much.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it is, but pay attention to how long lines actually last. You know what I mean. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:You're right. Especially here. They fall off. The road falls off usually.
Speaker 2:That's true. To have a vehicle to operate in that fashion or that manner around here? I don't think it's just.
Speaker 1:That's why I said it's going to be years and years before they can do anything here.
Speaker 3:Well now my mom. She doesn't have a smart car, but her car has cameras. She has like 20 cameras all around her car and if she drives too far, close to one of the lines. It actually jerks her car back over into the Brianna's?
Speaker 1:does that?
Speaker 3:And.
Speaker 2:I'm like, oh, I can't Lane assist. Yeah, it weirds me out the rental I had.
Speaker 3:Turn that shit off real fast yeah.
Speaker 2:From when the one I have was messing up the first time or whatever. I was driving it home from Pikeville and went to you know, just get over in the other lane.
Speaker 1:And I had signaled and because I went jerk me back over and it jerked you back over. It jerked me back.
Speaker 2:I was like whoa.
Speaker 1:That should have got you killed too.
Speaker 2:Yes, I realized what it was. Yeah, you know, and I was going from the house.
Speaker 1:Something's in your tire. It feels like.
Speaker 2:To making pothole and it jerked me back over. I was able to jerk back.
Speaker 3:It does do that, my mom's car.
Speaker 1:Scott Got lost in it. Can't keep you guys straight. I was totally being straight you remember, trying to be good, you're hanging out with a bunch of bad influences. I know the worst influences, even Monroe. He's the quietest bad influence ever, it's true. You ask Monroe if you should do something, he says fuck it, do it.
Speaker 3:Do it and I'm over here like don't.
Speaker 1:Have you ever heard him say don't do it? He's like fuck it, just go. Never heard him say no to anything. I asked him. I was like Mario, you want to go to Illinois? And he's like and we'll go down there and hang out somewhere new, let's go.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I don't know that. I've actually heard him say yeah, it's just like okay yeah he yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:He never says yeah, yeah, he's good, yeah, he's good to go all the time. It's cool.
Speaker 2:Monroe is infinitely dtf like that's what he is all the time. Let's just go. Yeah, you're done I'm down especially, even if he works.
Speaker 1:Actually, if he works the night before he's more down to do whatever the next day, because I won. He works the night before, he's more down to do whatever the next day.
Speaker 3:Because I won't have to wake up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's more down to do all this shit. The next day he's like, yeah, can we just drive Like when we do the Nashville trips. He just sleeps the first. Yeah, like sleep.

Speaker 1:We gotta redo those.
Speaker 2:Yes, well, so was.
Speaker 1:I Never your minds. It's hard to get y'all's minds out of the gutter.
Speaker 3:That's not necessarily true.

Speaker 1:I really need toe. All right, I really need toe, all right. I'm just kidding. I'm not really Halloween, that's what I was talking about. We wanted to do a Halloween episode, but it didn't work because Halloween was so weird this year. Very, we could do a spooky episode, but now I'm not going to do that anymore, Shout out Tyler, yeah, I know that was the plan.
Speaker 1:That would have been awesome to have him on for a Terrifier shit, for him to just do some gruesome stuff for Halloween. But we didn't and instead we're just going to eat candy for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next three weeks. Just going to eat chocolate because for some reason we have so much candy. You've ate four pieces of candy since you've been here just chocolate.
Speaker 3:I know, and I've only eaten one piece since Halloween and I'm going to come up here and I know yeah. Me and Clay was fighting over candy in there a while ago.
Speaker 1:That be happening? Yeah, that happens around here.

Speaker 3:Yeah, I loved when you did the mailbag thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we need more mailbag. I don't know I can get more. We just need to get people to email them in and go comment on the YouTube videos, because YouTube videos, we need to make sure everybody knows. This is your alert to go and comment with a story and we'll use it on the air and won't give you credit because we don't read your name. That's what we do every time. Yep, hey, hustlers, just cutting in to say we don't read your name. That's what we do every time. Yep, hey, hustlers, just cutting in to say we want to hear from you. Send us an email with a fail that's happened to you at work recently. Each week we're going to pull one fail email and read it on the episode.

You know I'm in my villain era. Yes, you definitely are, but so I was trying to debate whether I actually wanted to go to the banquet or not, but I had to go for Clay.
Speaker 1:You had to yeah and I sat at the front next to the coaches with Mike oh my God, and just talked shit the whole time. I love it with Mike and just talk shit the whole time, I love it. And Ryan Rhino and his wife were sitting with us and she was so and she was like. She was like I'm going to make you leave. She was like you have to. You have to go.
Speaker 3:It was making her nervous I was.
Speaker 1:She was so uncomfortable I was like sorry this was and she was like that was and she was like that was, that was. So I can't believe you were like that and I was like that was mild. I was just playing with them Like I wasn't even serious. I was just playing, I was going to be it. If you thought I was serious, like when I get serious, that's like this is funny. But yeah, that was fun though. I got to do that today. I got to be a menace today, I know you just enjoyed that I did.
Speaker 1:I was thinking I wasn't going to go and then I was like you know what would be really fun? To go and sit up front. That's what I really want to do. Yeah, I had to sit away from Brianna and I didn't look at her either.
Speaker 2:She did that in basketball, too this year.
Speaker 1:You know what I think? We're going to crush everybody in basketball, so I'm not even winning solves everything, just crush everybody. And who cares?
Speaker 3:It really does. In the end it says everything.
Speaker 1:We're just going to crush everybody.
Speaker 3:I really hope they do.
