Everyone has that neighbor, and we compare battle scars.

We kick things off with an absolutely ridiculous Reddit "Neighbor Wars" debate after someone keeps parking in a neighbor's driveway, which quickly spirals into our own stories of stompy upstairs neighbors, loud apartment living, and the legendary tale of the time Trey actually choked his obnoxious neighbor. (Don't worry, everyone survived.)

Plus, celebrity birthdays feature a Weekend at Bernie's connection and an obscure MLB All-Star that somehow sends us down another rabbit hole.

Then we tackle one of the strangest health headlines we've ever seen: "Gym Penis." Yes, apparently it's a real thing. We had questions. We regret getting answers.

And finally, we dive into the viral debate after a Gen Z woman proudly declared she wants to marry rich and never work again. Is she just being honest, or has society completely lost its mind?

As always, expect laughs, questionable life advice, and stories that somehow get more unhinged.

Please, it seems very very tempting, right Uh. That may

16
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:02.920
be one of the those expectations versus reality type scenarios,

Show together. Thank you very much. Okay, we are starting

26
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:40.840
today with neighbor wars. I don't know if there's something

27
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.680
that is more relatable than having an a whole neighbor

28
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:49.640
or an inconsiderate neighbor. I think we've I think we've

29
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.959
all experienced at least one, if not both.

30
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:59.840
I've gone to jail for one.

31
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:03.319
And everything I just is off the table, tray, the

32
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:04.680
floor is yours.

33
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:12.360
We never talked about this about three years ago.

34
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:17.240
Let's see, what was I guess it's twenty two. I think, yeah,

35
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:19.360
definitely twenty one or twenty two.

36
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:20.759
So there's five.

37
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.479
I had a neighbor and he was absolutely the worst

38
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:26.159
human being on the face of the earth, so much

39
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:28.479
so like he went out of his way and it

40
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:30.159
wasn't just me, it was the person on the other

41
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:30.599
side too.

42
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:31.520
Uh.

43
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:34.560
He would put like massagers, like you.

44
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:38.439
Know, like the big ones like you like literally need

45
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:40.599
two handles, Like he would put them up against the

46
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:43.800
wall to rattle everything, kind.

47
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.800
Of like the ones at Floyd's barber shop. Yeah, it's

48
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:48.360
like you need the two hands and you have to

49
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:52.039
really it's almost like a violent sander.

50
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:58.879
Yes, it just and did all and finally after and

51
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:02.840
I begged, I mean, we had recordings, we begged the management,

52
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:03.479
everything else.

53
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:05.439
I finally snapped one night. It was.

54
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.680
It was just after Texas ou weekend and I was

55
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:11.719
short on sleep and I was trying to go to bed.

56
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:14.560
It was like nine o'clock and he started that and

57
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:18.240
I went over and I put hands around his throat.

58
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:28.080
Was it to demonstrate to him what him running the

59
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:31.319
massager up against the wall feels like? Or were you

60
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:36.800
trying to kill him? Is there a statute of limitations

61
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:38.240
on this? Do you need to be careful how you

62
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:38.759
answer that.

63
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:42.919
No, I've already I've already been through probation and oh, okay, so.

64
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:47.039
It was a misdemeanor assault. I didn't leave, amazingly, didn't

65
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:47.759
leave bruises.

66
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:50.400
So you've been adjudicated.

67
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:51.599
I have been adjudicated.

68
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:58.039
Okay. Were you trying to kill him? You know I was.

69
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:02.039
I was trying not to. Uh No, I wasn't trying

70
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:02.479
to kill him.

71
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.319
I was just trying to express my frustration after a

72
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:10.719
year of him absolutely being a dick and ruining sleep.

73
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:11.680
And countless nights.

74
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.480
Uh. At some point I I'll go through my phone

75
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:18.360
and I can dig up some of the recordings. But yeah,

76
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:22.279
it's it was unbelievable shit he pulled.

77
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.199
As I'm asking the question, I'm envisioning your answer as

78
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.560
I say, were you trying to kill him? In which case,

79
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:33.560
if you were trying to kill him, I think he'd

80
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:39.839
be dead because I I, I've known you a long time.

81
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:46.399
If you're seeing red, you know how that? Yeah, so

82
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.680
here's here's God damn, why was he doing this?

83
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:54.160
We don't know. He was just it was.

84
00:04:55.879 --> 00:05:01.759
He was a short little fuck and he I.

85
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:05.279
The other guy behind on the other side of him.

86
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.879
His name's Kyle, and Kyle and his wife were just

87
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:09.319
two of the nicest people in the world. And I

88
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.560
still did I keep up with him, love him to death.

89
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:13.319
We don't know.

90
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:17.680
He just it's like he got his rocks off on

91
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:19.600
being a nuisance.

92
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:22.519
So he was a real life troll instead of an

93
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:25.879
online troll. He's trolling his neighbors in real life by

94
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.519
vibrating everyone's apartments.

95
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.439
Vibrating I like, I literally one.

96
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.560
Day I got so mad and I had to quit

97
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:34.519
because the other guy on the other side complained and

98
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:35.319
I liked him too.

99
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:39.839
I literally I went and got from the bar one.

100
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:44.399
Of a big speaker and I hooked it up to

101
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:47.560
Tejano music, cranked the bass up and just put it

102
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:48.560
right against the wall.

103
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:52.680
And so every time it was like, fine, you want

104
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:53.040
to do this?

105
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.480
Oh the other thing he would do he uh or

106
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:02.319
later I think it was a lacrosse ball. He would

107
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.519
bounce just against the wall. He would like throw it

108
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:09.639
and uh So when he would start doing that or

109
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:13.639
whatever else, I went and got the speaker and uh

110
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:19.199
let him enjoy Sey Hono music, good, the good basic kind.

111
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:27.360
Oh yeah, I like how he started out annoying, or

112
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:32.279
his method was to be annoying. Yours was to recreate

113
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.279
a Cia Black site the.

114
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:35.800
Ball thing, you know.

115
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:40.000
He I think at first he just didn't think that

116
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:44.279
it would be disturbing to everyone else. And then it's

117
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.560
like when he figured it out.

118
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:53.240
He just didn't give a shit. And so yeah, God, Dakota.

119
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:59.480
His name was Dakota. So as far as we know,

120
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:03.519
there are two Dakotas that live in the North Texas area.

121
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.759
One was an a hole neighbor of yours. The other

122
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:08.720
is the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.

123
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:15.680
Yeah, you're never gonna mistake these two. There would be

124
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.040
no confusion between the two of them.

125
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.519
Yeah, I'm pretty sure if Dak Prescott was your neighbor

126
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.480
and throwing a ball against the wall, it probably would

127
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:25.279
have gone through at some point.

128
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:27.959
Yeah, unless it was the fourth quarter in the games

129
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:28.879
on the line.

130
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:36.519
Uh, right out the window into the hands of a

131
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:41.920
waiting Giants cornerback who just happened to be walking by.

132
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:44.240
It was like, where did this come from? I'm just

133
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:49.439
like visiting my grandma. All right, So thank you for

134
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:57.240
sharing your neighbor's story. I've got one to share that

135
00:07:57.399 --> 00:07:59.879
is currently happening to me. But before we get to

136
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.399
that one, this one to me is interesting, And by

137
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:11.439
interesting I mean really clear cut. So someone jumped online

138
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:14.680
and said my neighbor kept parking in my driveway after

139
00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:18.639
multiple warnings, I had her car toad, and now she

140
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:26.360
wants me to pay the fee. That's just the headline.

141
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:30.040
There's a story to this that I'll be honest with you.

142
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.440
I don't even think this needs much context. The only

143
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.039
question I would have based on that headline, let me

144
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:42.360
repeat it. My neighbor kept parking in my driveway after

145
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.320
multiple warnings, I had her car toad and now she

146
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.799
wants me to pay the fee. Every question I have

147
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:53.639
about this situation is already answered in the headline, but

148
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:57.799
I'll ask the question anyway to you, Trey the ultimate question,

149
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:03.159
and that is is this guy right to have the

150
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:08.879
neighbor's car towed for parking in his driveway?

151
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:18.159
Yes, I mean he's absolutely one correct now if especially

152
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:24.320
if she's blocking the driveway likearing with him getting to

153
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:25.960
a garage or something like that.

154
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:29.639
Absolutely, And the fact that if.

155
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:32.440
He gave her multiple warnings, he is a far nicer

156
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:35.200
person than I went because I would give one warning

157
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:42.840
and then I'm towing your car. So here's if I

158
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:44.600
come home and I'm like, I need to get into

159
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:47.919
the garage or something, whether you know you're hauling something

160
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:53.360
or whatever, I would absolutely and it would probably get

161
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:54.960
towed with four flat tires.

162
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:59.559
Don't know what happened. So here's the full context. My

163
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:02.080
neighbor and I have houses next to each other, but

164
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:05.279
we don't share a driveway. My driveway is on my

165
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.679
side of the property line, and there's even a fence

166
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:12.360
separating our yards. After a couple of about a couple

167
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:15.240
of weeks ago, my neighbor's adult daughter moved back home.

168
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:17.600
Since then, her Silver Civic has been parked in my

169
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:21.679
driveway four different times. The first time I knocked on

170
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:25.279
her door and she apologized and moved it. The second time,

171
00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:27.720
I left a note on the windshield saying it was

172
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.480
my private driveway and asked her not to park there again.

173
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:33.519
The third time I talked to her directly. She said

174
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:36.519
her daughter only needed the space temporarily and that she

175
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:38.879
didn't think it was a big deal since my driveway

176
00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:44.120
was empty. The fourth time, I got home from work

177
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:47.840
around seven PM with groceries in the rain and the

178
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:51.080
same car is sitting in my driveway. No one was home.

179
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.320
I called the towing company first to make sure I

180
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:55.440
was allowed to have it removed from my property. They

181
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:57.960
confirmed I could, so I had it towed. Next morning,

182
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.279
my neighbor came over angry. She said her daughter had

183
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.360
to pay three hundred and fifty dollars to get the

184
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:06.200
car back, and that I should reimburse her because I

185
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:10.000
caused the fee. I told her I had already asked

186
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:13.080
multiple times. She said, I didn't think you were actually

187
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:15.000
going to toe it. You could have just called me

188
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.120
I told her, I understand that, but I also expected

189
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:20.519
my driveway not to be used after I asked you

190
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:22.840
not to. Since then, she has had spoken to me.

191
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:24.679
Her daughter texted me saying I made this into a

192
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:26.759
bigger deal than it needed to be. Another neighbor told

193
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:29.600
me I should have tried one more conversation before escalating,

194
00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:31.799
because we still had to live next to each other.

195
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:35.960
I know neighbor relationships matter, but I also feel like

196
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:40.039
I gave enough warnings. So did I escalate too far?

197
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:43.399
Or did I give enough chances?

198
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:48.240
You, your neighbor, the neighbor that said you should have

199
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:53.799
given them one more time, the mother daughter, all of them,

200
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.759
all the way off, all the way off. You gave

201
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:07.240
ample choices, gave ample warning. You're, like I said, if

202
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:09.960
it especially in the rain. I've got groceries and I

203
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:14.240
can't get Oh yeah, there's you're You're mysteriously gonna be,

204
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:17.159
you know, running on flats.

205
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:24.759
This is where this whole, the whole neighbor relationship thing

206
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.799
is fascinating to me, because I feel like in neighbor

207
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:33.600
relationships there are two types of people. There's someone that

208
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:37.440
cares about the neighbor relationship and thinks about the consequences

209
00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:40.720
of a feud. And then there's the other person that

210
00:12:40.799 --> 00:12:46.039
doesn't give a flying f about it. And if the

211
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.679
one neighbor doesn't give a flying f about it, you

212
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:51.559
shouldn't either, because there's no winning that, there is no

213
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:55.000
there is no oh, you know, the neighbor relationship matters,

214
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:57.320
and I don't want to have a neighbor war. That

215
00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:00.639
person is not going to bend, and so they are

216
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:04.960
taking advantage of knowing either a they don't care what

217
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:08.240
you do, or B that you will bend because you're

218
00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:18.200
the one in the relationship that cares about good neighbor feelings.

219
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:21.039
I'll get back to the neighbor thing in a second. Well,

220
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:23.799
they're the problem with this whole story. And it's probably

221
00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:26.679
the thing I hate more than just about anything else

222
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:30.159
in this world is entitlement. It shows a level of

223
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:34.200
entitlement that you don't have. You think your neighbors, you know,

224
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:36.960
driveway is your driveway because it's more convenient for you.

225
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:40.559
Whatever. And I blame the mom, I blame the daughter. Whatever.

226
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:45.559
Listen, I try very I'm not I don't know my neighbors.

227
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:46.799
I seldom see them.

228
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:49.639
It's not like I keep normal hours, but I try

229
00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:51.440
to be a good neighbor. And I'll give you a

230
00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:55.919
very concrete example of like right now, I get up

231
00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:59.879
at four forty in the morning. I exercise at five.

232
00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:08.320
Now some mornings I do. I've been trying to do yoga.

233
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:12.120
I would love to do yoga.

234
00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:17.840
Is that part of your court ordered rehabilitation from your choking? Oh? Okay,

235
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:18.799
just making sure.

236
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:26.720
I would love to do yoga from my living room

237
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.919
because but I'm learning, and I watch videos and I

238
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:35.360
try to imlate. But yoga's hard. If you've never done it,

239
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:36.960
don't don't sit there and snicker.

240
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:38.960
It's hard. I am.

241
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:41.200
I am in very good shape, and I am telling

242
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:44.399
you it's hard. I know you, but I'm just I'm

243
00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:45.879
saying the general audience.

244
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:48.279
Yeah no, this is one of those opportunities for me

245
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.399
to briefly just to tell for those that don't know

246
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:51.879
the story. I'm not gonna tell the whole story. I'm

247
00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:54.960
just gonna tell the very brief version that the first

248
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:57.320
time I tried yoga with my wife, doing like a

249
00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:01.039
P ninety X yoga, I got stuck. I'm not making

250
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:03.440
that up. I got stuck and she had to push

251
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:09.080
me over to unlock me. So yeah, so, but.

252
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:13.039
I don't do it in my living room because it's

253
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:15.120
five in the morning and I'm trying to be a

254
00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:18.559
courteous neighbor and not make a bunch of racket for.

255
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:21.000
The people below me. So I go to the gym

256
00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:22.240
and I do it there.

257
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:25.639
Even when I get back and when I have a

258
00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:29.559
little you know thing, I sit on, meditate everything else.

259
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:32.480
But I try to be very gentle, so I'm not

260
00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:38.399
mister stompy for the neighbors below me. I have neighbors

261
00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:42.480
above me that do not hesitate at all to be

262
00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:45.279
mister stompy. They clearly do not know what it means

263
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:48.799
to pick up your feet to walk softly. Everything is

264
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:51.480
like them trudging through the god snow.

265
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:59.399
That's the hell I am currently living in. We are

266
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:05.679
on the third floor of this apartment. Yeah, and it's

267
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:08.600
it's a it's it's you know. We're currently in Portland,

268
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:11.720
so it's basically Austin Northwest. So we're in a midrise

269
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:15.759
apartment building and so there's a number of floors above us.

270
00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:19.240
But the people above us are are the stompy mc

271
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:22.759
Stomperson's I'm pretty sure it actually says it next to

272
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:28.960
their mailbox, and they don't know from walking softly. I

273
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:31.559
swear to God it's Harry and the Henderson's living up there.

274
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:33.320
You know, you want to know why you don't see

275
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:35.639
Bigfoot on TV when they go looking for him in

276
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:37.759
the woods, because the whole family's living right above me.

277
00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:45.360
Stomp stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, and they are on a

278
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:53.519
semi normal schedule. Okay, that's the good thing. Around six

279
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:57.840
thirty to seven am, Portland time, they're up, they're waking up,

280
00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:00.840
they're walking, they're stomping around, and they're going to bed

281
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:05.240
around ten thirty eleven o'clock at night. The problem with

282
00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:11.160
that is we are middle aged. We are already in

283
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.839
bed by the time they start their evening stomping, and

284
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:20.119
because we don't keep normal bankers hours we're both self employed,

285
00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:24.559
we actually get to sleep in a little bit later sometimes,

286
00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:28.519
so they're going to bed later and waking up earlier,

287
00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:30.920
which means they're waking us up on both ends of

288
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:36.759
their stomping sessions. And Jesus H. Christ, there are so

289
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:39.839
many different ways to go about trying to solve this problem.

290
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:42.440
I hardly know which one to pick because I suffer

291
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:47.960
from a severe case of analysis paralysis, I can overthink

292
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:51.960
almost any situation to debt. So you are currently dealing

293
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:55.400
with stompy upstairs neighbors. We've got the stompy mc stompersons

294
00:17:55.480 --> 00:17:58.279
living above us. What's the best course of action to

295
00:17:58.279 --> 00:17:59.240
get them to stop?

296
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:02.519
You know, that's it's a great question.

297
00:18:02.599 --> 00:18:05.279
I had the same problem in my last apartment, and

298
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:09.119
I recorded the people and I sent it to the

299
00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:12.480
management I'm going. I said, could you please ask these

300
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:16.119
people just to try to walk a little bit softly?

301
00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:20.440
Like it is not everything needs to be just like

302
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:24.799
you're marching. And I'm probably gonna end up doing the

303
00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:28.400
same thing. Except my previous management were very proactive and

304
00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:28.920
very good.

305
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:31.440
This management my current building not so much.

306
00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:34.279
So I have a feeling their response to everything is

307
00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:38.000
we'll call security. Yeah, because security is gonna come do anything?

308
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:45.279
Is they don't do jat crap anyways, So my next

309
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:49.720
and this is where you never you're you can go

310
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:52.799
two different directions on this. You think about, well, maybe

311
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:56.359
if I, you know, left some cookies and a note

312
00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:59.200
ups in their door saying hey, could you mind not

313
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.279
trying to walk a little bit softer, especially early in

314
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:08.000
the morning or in the evening luckily with my new schedule,

315
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:13.119
because they they keep an almost identical schedule as to

316
00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:17.279
what you are talking about, except so they are up

317
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:20.680
at about six thirty. Well I'm already up, so it's okay.

318
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:24.079
Going to bed though, So I typically now.

319
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:29.519
I am in bed at nine.

320
00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:35.200
And welcome, We've been waiting for you. It is so nice.

321
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:38.440
Try, and my goal is to be a sleep by ten.

322
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:42.359
Yeah, and it's why I don't have a phone in

323
00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:48.720
my bedroom anymore or anything. But it does get a

324
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.319
little trying. If they are running late and they're still

325
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.200
stopping MC stoppers at at ten fifteen to ten thirty,

326
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:58.720
it does start to really irritate me.

327
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:02.559
And when you said when they were running late, in

328
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:04.680
my head, I thought you were about to say so

329
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:05.880
when they're running laps.

330
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:11.640
Yeah, And I feel like at some point in the

331
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:14.240
morning one of them does like push ups or sit

332
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:17.480
ups or something because there's a very rhythmic.

333
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:22.160
Or I'll say they have sex very consistently.

334
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:25.240
But like on the floor just as you get to

335
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:25.559
hear it.

336
00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:30.680
But I know I'm kind of in the same predicament

337
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.440
of because the other thing about it is you could

338
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:36.319
also just they could take it the wrong way and

339
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:38.240
you just antagonize them and then they do it more.

340
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:45.599
Yeah. So yeah, two things. Solution based is the second one,

341
00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:49.000
what do we do about it? The first thing is

342
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:51.920
just something that I think. This is something that my

343
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:54.440
wife and I do when the people above us are

344
00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:57.880
stomping like crazy, we're trying to figure out we sometimes

345
00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:00.319
I make a game out of it. What do we

346
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:06.640
think they're doing up there? Like you mentioned the rhythmic stomping.

347
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:10.960
Are they about to report to basic and they're just practicing.

348
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:16.039
Is it possible that they're doing medicine ball slams before

349
00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:18.240
they go to bed or first thing in the morning

350
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.240
when they wake up. Are they thinking about doing some

351
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:27.079
remodeling and they've decided to start murmering the floor? And

352
00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:29.000
that's the other thing with this midrise building is like

353
00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:30.960
and it's probably the same for you. I mean, this

354
00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:35.119
is this is concrete, so the vibrations and the sounds

355
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:37.359
do travel pretty good.

356
00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:38.480
Yeah.

357
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:41.160
I don't think people realize that. I think especially I

358
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:43.799
think people think newer buildings they've built in a way

359
00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:46.119
that they're sound proof, and it's like, no, they're not.

360
00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:49.640
You know, they they absolutely cut those corners there's very

361
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:50.519
little on the sound. Prof.

362
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.200
Yeah, I've wondered hopscotch is something to bring in woo

363
00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:59.000
back a game of old I've wondered if maybe they've

364
00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:00.400
got some chalk and they've just.

365
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:05.680
Made themselves a little hotscotch and jump rope.

366
00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:08.319
Also, you know what, maybe what it is, maybe they're

367
00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:12.119
just doing an old school like elementary school field day.

368
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:15.480
They're just doing all the activities. They're doing the sack rays,

369
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:19.519
jumping jacks, jumping jacks, double dutch jump rope.

370
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:23.599
I too have pondered these questions.

371
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:26.759
Yeah, so I also I did the same thing you

372
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:28.640
did when Tara and I were playing what is it

373
00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:32.119
they're doing up their game? And I said hopscotch like

374
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:34.839
you did, and she said, I bet it's And she

375
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:36.720
went up to me so quick. She was like, it's

376
00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:39.720
probably hopscotch on a pogo stick. And I was like, oh, yeah,

377
00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:44.920
that's it. Yeah, you win to go stick. Yes, they're

378
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:49.920
up there Poe going like crazy. So the second part

379
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:52.599
is the solution. What do you do about it? Because

380
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.400
you mentioned Trey, do you leave some cookies in a

381
00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:59.480
nice note that says please walk softly. Here's some snicker

382
00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:02.960
doodles and do they then does it still annoy them?

383
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:06.960
What do you do? One idea Tara had was maybe

384
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:11.920
what we do is we buy some house shoes, some

385
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:15.599
nice cushioned house shoes, two pairs, because I think it's

386
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:17.480
a couple above us. You get two pairs of house

387
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:21.119
shoes in a basket, a nice gift basket, with a

388
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:24.200
little note that says, hey, this from your neighbors. Would

389
00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:25.400
you mind mean name names.

390
00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:27.519
I don't think house shoes will do the trick. I

391
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:31.359
think they stop so much. I don't know that cushioning

392
00:23:31.480 --> 00:23:32.119
is the answer.

393
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:35.759
And at that point you're having, you're trying to get

394
00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:38.359
them to do something that most humans a don't want

395
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:40.200
to do and be is very difficult to do. And

396
00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:43.440
that's change a habit. They are so used to doing

397
00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:46.079
what they're doing. You're not just trying, You're trying to

398
00:23:46.079 --> 00:23:49.720
get them to change what they do on a regular basis,

399
00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:52.839
change the habit. It's hard, It is hard.

400
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:57.400
And see you're I was thinking more high tech when

401
00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:02.359
I started trying to think about solving the problem. Did

402
00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:04.720
you read about how when when we went in and

403
00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:10.000
invaded Venezuela to extra write their president, we did like

404
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:12.119
the sonic thing that made everyone you know crap and

405
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:15.759
Pugh can crap themselves. I was trying to see if

406
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:18.759
I could find one of those, like on eBay.

407
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:24.519
Trey that's ridiculous. You're gonna have to look on TMU.

today is Wednesday, August fifth, twenty twenty six. Let's celebrate

423
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:35.720
today with some birthdays. Lonnie Anderson best known as Jennifer

424
00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:39.759
Marlowe on WKRP in Cincinnati is eighty one.

425
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:41.440
I thought she died.

426
00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:44.599
I did too, brother. I'm going to click on this

427
00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:48.079
just to see because usually usually my prep service is

428
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:50.680
good at letting us know if she's alive or dead.

429
00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:51.440
Yeah she died.

430
00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:54.599
Oh yeah she's dead. Yeah. Prep service screwed up because

431
00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:57.640
even when I click on her name was an American actress, like, yeah,

432
00:25:57.640 --> 00:25:59.680
I don't think she's still alive. Well she would have

433
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:05.359
been a one. Uh yeah. But honestly, it's it's really

434
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:09.160
just an excuse to be able to mention w KRP

435
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:13.559
in Cincinnati. It's one of the great all time sitcoms,

436
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:20.960
partly because it didn't center around a family like some

437
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:24.440
of the like. It was technically a family because they

438
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:27.400
all knew each other. But it's a situational comedy so

439
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:30.799
much so many sitcoms are always, you know, they're family based,

440
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:35.480
you know them all, they're all almost always family based,

441
00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:38.119
are always in the home, right w kr and P

442
00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:43.359
in Cincinnati was it's a radio station. And I'm trying

443
00:26:43.400 --> 00:26:47.440
to think of any sort of situational comedies right now

444
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:51.440
that aren't family based. Mash one of the greatest sitcoms

445
00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:55.519
of all time. Not only was that movie not set

446
00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:58.039
in the middle of a family or a family home,

447
00:26:58.359 --> 00:27:02.079
it was sit in the middle of a war. Yeah, Cheers,

448
00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:06.160
Cheers was a bar. That's absolutely one of my favorite

449
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:08.599
shows of all time, and it was set in a bar.

450
00:27:09.599 --> 00:27:13.799
I can't really think of many current situation like sitcoms

451
00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:18.279
that that our occupation versus, you know, home.

452
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:20.079
Yeah.

453
00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:25.200
Lonnie Anderson's either claim to fame married to Burt Reynolds exactly.

454
00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:27.839
That's the other reason she and Burt Reynolds. Man, you

455
00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:31.039
talk about the it couple for a while, woo man,

456
00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:41.359
that was it? Uh. Jonathan Silverman is sixty. Jonathan Silverman

457
00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:44.960
is sixty, So he had a good run on a sitcom.

458
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:46.920
I think it was just called single Life or a

459
00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:50.920
Single Man or something single. It was on NBC for

460
00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:55.079
a while. It was on like Before or After Friends.

461
00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:01.960
That that must see TV block where almost anything would

462
00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:02.720
would succeed.

463
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:06.720
Yeah, because you're sandwiching it in between Friends and er

464
00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:10.799
or like or at the front end of it. So, yeah,

465
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:14.039
Jonathan Silverman is sixty, But to me, he is best

466
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:20.240
known from his role and Weekend at Berney's. Yeah, So good,

467
00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:23.640
such a great classic film. Also, I'd lived it for

468
00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:29.720
a number of years. Jonathan Silverman is sixty other birthdays.

469
00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:35.880
Today you've got Pat smear is sixty seven guitars for

470
00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:39.680
the Foo Fighters, former member of Nirvana for obvious reasons,

471
00:28:39.920 --> 00:28:47.079
and the Germs. He I don't know if I don't

472
00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:49.759
know if that's actually his legal like government name, or

473
00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:53.480
if that's just one he thought would be funny. I

474
00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:55.160
don't really want to find out. I'm just gonna let

475
00:28:55.200 --> 00:29:01.279
it be. Patrick Ewing is sixty four. Hall of Fame Center,

476
00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:05.319
eleven time NBA All Star would have had at least

477
00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:11.480
one ring if it wasn't for Michael effing Jordan. I

478
00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:15.160
bet he's get I bet he gets two rings in

479
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:17.160
his career if it's not for Michael Jordan.

480
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:20.079
Probably.

481
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:23.839
And here's a name. Here's a name that I know

482
00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:27.000
you're gonna know, but I know you have not thought

483
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:33.160
of it in a long time. Two time MLB All Star,

484
00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:37.519
known for wearing a batting helmet while playing first base.

485
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:42.519
John Olerude is fifty eight. Wow, See, I knew you

486
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:43.559
would know who he was.

487
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:52.680
Yeah, that's the name I have not heard in twenty

488
00:29:52.720 --> 00:30:08.599
five years. Twenty I think you summed it up with yeah.

489
00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:05.200
And he wasn't. I mean, he was an all star player.

490
00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:10.319
I mean, like even here it said it was two

491
00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:12.680
time All Star. I honestly got thought he was an

492
00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:16.279
All Star more than that. I mean, you talk about

493
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:20.240
A list actors, B list actors, same thing with athletes.

494
00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:24.680
This is a guy that was an a ish to

495
00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:29.759
a B baseball player as far as notoriety, partly because

496
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:31.680
he was he played I think all of his career

497
00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:36.240
in Toronto. But he was a solid player. Two. I

498
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:38.519
thought he was an All Star more than twice. But yeah,

499
00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:41.359
but for some reason, he sticks out to me. And

500
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:43.799
it's and part of it's the helmet, but I don't know,

501
00:30:43.920 --> 00:30:45.519
I just feel like he stuck out to me for

502
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:46.039
some reason.

503
00:30:46.119 --> 00:30:48.519
I think you take the helmet gimmick away. I don't

504
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:48.759
know that.

505
00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:56.200
Uh yeah, he's in that. He's in that realm of

506
00:30:58.319 --> 00:31:01.720
There were much bigger names at the time. Baseball was

507
00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:06.359
a bigger I mean in the macro. Baseball just simply

508
00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:09.200
is not the sport it was twenty five thirty years ago.

509
00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:12.920
I mean no, I mean, and honestly, and a lot

510
00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:15.440
of it it's its own doing. And I hate to

511
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:18.240
say Russ was right about something. But yeah, they should

512
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:21.880
have just let him kept doing steroids because you know,

513
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:25.440
home run competitions. I mean, that was that was probably

514
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:27.559
the biggest time in baseball for the last thirty years,

515
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:31.119
when when you had Sosa and Maguire going after the

516
00:31:31.160 --> 00:31:36.839
home run thing, and then and then Barry Bonds came

517
00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:38.880
along and then you're like, hey, Crow magnum Man, your

518
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:39.440
head's grown.

519
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:45.319
It was one of the great before and after transformations

520
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:48.599
to look at Barry's rookie card and then to see

521
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:51.640
twenty years later he's better and bigger.

522
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:52.880
Well, then he.

523
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.279
Had the screwball way and this is you had the

524
00:31:56.400 --> 00:32:01.000
list of the people that they thought we're doping, and

525
00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:03.920
but they never released the list. They just occasionally leaked

526
00:32:03.960 --> 00:32:05.440
the name and then that person would have to go

527
00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:07.359
through all a Rod got caught up.

528
00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:10.039
In it, I mean, and it's like all the players.

529
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:14.880
I don't know why they didn't just go, hey, it's

530
00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:17.440
all good, just knock it off. If they really made

531
00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:19.640
him stop, and why they won't let him in the

532
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:24.480
Hall of Fame, bs and everything else. It's like, my

533
00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:28.519
argument with that is it wasn't an unfair advantage because

534
00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:29.720
everyone was doing it.

535
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:34.599
That's true. Yeah, I mean at that point it and.

536
00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:39.559
Yeah, especially he may be the biggest a hole walking,

537
00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:42.640
but Barry Bonds was by far and away one of

538
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:45.400
the most phenomenal, especially when he started off in Pittsburgh.

539
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:46.880
He was a phenomenal player.

540
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:50.119
He was already five tool Yeah.

541
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:50.759
I mean he was.

542
00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:55.599
He was an absolute Hall of Famer before he started juicing.

543
00:32:55.640 --> 00:32:58.000
And I think he just got pissed off with the

544
00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:01.839
notoriety that Sosa maguire were it, and you know, wanted

545
00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:02.680
wanted some of.

546
00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:04.880
It, and then he ended up with all of it.

547
00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:10.920
I'll go yeah. And that's the other thing too. It's

548
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:14.000
like I will say this, I still think about as

549
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:18.640
you're talking about the steroid era. I still think about

550
00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:24.799
that ninety eight season with Sammy Sosa, Mark McGuire, and

551
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:29.119
I still remember Mark McGuire breaking Maris' single season home

552
00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:33.279
run record. He misses first base as he's rounding, and

553
00:33:33.319 --> 00:33:35.119
he's so excited, has to go back and touch it.

554
00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:46.240
And it makes my stomach turn because he was because

555
00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:49.480
because at the time it was just the ultimate in

556
00:33:50.599 --> 00:34:00.880
being betrayed as a fan, because like he's saying all

557
00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:03.279
the things you're supposed to say, and he's doing all

558
00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:06.200
the things you're supposed to do, and then eventually it

559
00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:10.440
comes out that he was absolutely juicing. But here's the thing.

560
00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:15.000
Had he just had he just been like, yeah, I

561
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:18.400
felt betrayed. I was young enough at the time and

562
00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:24.639
still had enough hope in my body to be like, please,

563
00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:29.400
let this be pure. And when it wasn't, that sort

564
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:31.440
of that house of cards crashed down a little bit

565
00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:33.800
in my soul. It didn't change the fact that I

566
00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:38.280
still love baseball, but it definitely changed on my view

567
00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:43.239
of him. How like him hugging Roger Morris's family being

568
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:47.079
so close and it's just like, God, you're just you

569
00:34:47.920 --> 00:34:48.920
fucking asshole.

570
00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:55.280
Yeah, but first of all, no one had thought about

571
00:34:55.320 --> 00:35:00.360
Roger Marris in decades, and it was obvious as he

572
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:04.679
was juicing. If you had seen McGuire five years prior,

573
00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:07.599
you knew what was going on. See I remember it

574
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:12.800
totally differently. I don't remember feeling portrayed. I remember how

575
00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:15.679
exciting it was because it really didn't matter what you

576
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:18.199
were doing. They would break into whatever you were watching

577
00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:21.199
when one of those guys went up to bat, and

578
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:25.119
everyone was I mean, it was a national thing. Everyone

579
00:35:25.280 --> 00:35:30.159
was glued to it watching it. It was probably probably

580
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:32.840
the most exciting baseball season of my lifetime.

581
00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:37.599
It was probably one of the most exciting things to

582
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:41.079
happen in baseball for the second half of the twentieth century.

583
00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:43.719
Oh, I mean, I.

584
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:48.519
It's hard to speak for some of the early twentieth century,

585
00:35:48.599 --> 00:35:54.760
you know Yankees late Hank Aaron and that stuff, because

586
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:57.639
Hank Aaron was a solo deal man. He was he

587
00:35:57.719 --> 00:36:01.119
was on that mission by himself, Mark mcga Iron Samy Sosa.

588
00:36:01.559 --> 00:36:07.360
That competition drove it even further, made it so much

589
00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:08.239
more interesting.

590
00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:12.000
I screwed the last half of the twentieth century.

591
00:36:13.119 --> 00:36:15.039
I would say it was the most exciting thing over

592
00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:17.239
the last fifty years in baseball.

593
00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:23.480
Oh current, the last current fifty years, gotcha? Yeah, I

594
00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:23.960
would too.

595
00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:25.199
You know.

596
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:28.960
I remember Ripken breaking the you know, the iron Man record,

597
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:30.480
and that was.

598
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:31.079
Cool, but.

599
00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:33.800
That's a marathon thing.

600
00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:34.480
Right.

601
00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:40.519
And the Rangers winning a World Series was the most

602
00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:45.880
pleasant enough surprises. But I never thought I would see

603
00:36:45.880 --> 00:36:50.199
that after the twenty ten to twenty eleven just absolute employees,

604
00:36:50.280 --> 00:36:54.400
especially the Saint like like, there's the sports I will

605
00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:58.000
hate Nelly Cruz till I go to my grave for

606
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:02.320
absolutely losing the twenty eleven World Series.

607
00:37:05.039 --> 00:37:07.280
But take the fandom out of it.

608
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:10.400
The McGuire Sosa thing was the most exciting thing in

609
00:37:10.440 --> 00:37:11.719
baseball in the last fifty years.

610
00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:14.039
And that's part of the reason I've felt so betrayed

611
00:37:14.039 --> 00:37:17.280
by it. It's because I same as you. I remember

612
00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:21.599
all the excitement, the fun and seeing my favorite sport

613
00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:25.400
at the time getting recognition, and I was like, God,

614
00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:30.079
this is great. And then and then and then, and

615
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:34.440
then the truth comes out. You're just like you, you've guys,

616
00:37:38.239 --> 00:37:40.960
and and so I'm able to separate it a little

617
00:37:41.000 --> 00:37:43.440
bit and think about the happy times kind of like

618
00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:45.840
in a relationship, You're like, you know what, we had

619
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:48.119
some really good times and then the bitch cheated on me.

620
00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:54.280
That's how I felt with the McGuire Sosa thing.

621
00:37:57.039 --> 00:37:59.800
You know, typically that stuff it really sours the whole

622
00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:03.159
ex for me that I'm glad you can separate it out.

623
00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:09.119
We know it. We had some really good times and

624
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:18.360
until I saw her on a video on blacks dot com.

inside the Treehouse. Before we get to Jim Penis Israel,

633
00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:56.159
let's stir up some controversy. A gen Zer has sparked

634
00:38:56.199 --> 00:39:02.559
outrage after declaring she wants to marry Rich. And this

635
00:39:02.679 --> 00:39:05.800
is yet another example of gen Z thinking they've discovered

636
00:39:05.840 --> 00:39:08.840
something that we've all known for a really long time.

637
00:39:11.199 --> 00:39:14.960
Outrage from whom because now this is one thing I

638
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:18.320
better not see any gen xers because it's not like

639
00:39:18.400 --> 00:39:19.719
this is a novel concept.

640
00:39:20.719 --> 00:39:24.320
Absolutely it's not. I mean, if we're being straightforward, if

641
00:39:24.320 --> 00:39:29.239
we're being honest, this is the oldest profession, except in

642
00:39:29.280 --> 00:39:31.440
this case it's more on the amateur level.

643
00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:37.159
Yeah, this is this is a tale as old as time.

644
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:41.199
It is. I want to marry Rich did not work?

645
00:39:41.800 --> 00:39:47.000
Duh h. So gen Z has sparked online outrage after

646
00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:49.400
declaring she wants to marry Rich and not work.

647
00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:54.800
Yeah, Cinderella isn't a great story. If you know it's

648
00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:55.360
a poor guy.

649
00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:56.800
On the other end of.

650
00:39:56.760 --> 00:40:08.880
It, yeah, he's not a cobbler, which, considering how she

651
00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:11.119
lost a shoe, maybe she should have gone that rot.

652
00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:15.920
Gender stereotypes have come a long way, but that isn't

653
00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:18.559
to say that in twenty twenty six, some women are

654
00:40:18.719 --> 00:40:22.480
just fine giving up their careers to marry rich to

655
00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:26.400
never work another day in their lives. In a forum

656
00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:31.039
on Reddit, one twenty year old decided to do just that.

657
00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:34.360
She described herself as an ambitious person who was studying

658
00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:37.360
to become a dentist, yet had recently had a change

659
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:40.280
of heart and decided life is too short to spend

660
00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:46.199
it stressed and working. This is a great example of

661
00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:51.840
a young person's mindset and not thinking ahead. She thinks

662
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:54.679
life is too short to spend it stressed and working.

663
00:40:54.719 --> 00:40:57.719
The thing is, though, if you marry rich and don't work,

664
00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:02.599
you will work every day of your life. You, you,

665
00:41:03.039 --> 00:41:07.760
in that scenario, are not really a person. You're an asset.

666
00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:18.280
You're a thing, You're a trophy, You're basically you are

667
00:41:18.360 --> 00:41:21.000
a You're a talking sex doll. And that's if you're

668
00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:23.360
allowed to talk. It depends on the guy you get with.

669
00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:28.480
Well, nine out of ten times when you see an

670
00:41:29.360 --> 00:41:32.639
a lopsided relationship when it comes to looks age something

671
00:41:32.679 --> 00:41:34.679
like that, there's a reason for it. And a lot

672
00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:38.760
of it has to do with dollar signs. And you know,

673
00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:43.360
I can name countless places in Dallas that for years,

674
00:41:44.679 --> 00:41:49.400
Highland Park Village to Javier's Cigar Bar have been a

675
00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:54.480
absolute trap of young single women going there looking to

676
00:41:54.519 --> 00:41:56.840
find a successful guy.

677
00:41:56.760 --> 00:42:00.920
That they can meet and hopefully marry. This is this

678
00:42:00.960 --> 00:42:01.679
is not new.

679
00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:05.639
Uh, it's just not typically said out loud.

680
00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:07.639
I guess it's more.

681
00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:09.440
I think it was more of just sort of an

682
00:42:09.519 --> 00:42:14.079
understood thing. But so by this young woman declaring it

683
00:42:14.119 --> 00:42:16.760
to the world, going on Reddit and saying this is

684
00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:19.760
what I'm gonna do, then you open yourself up to

685
00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:23.400
criticism from other people. People that'll be like, how dare you?

686
00:42:23.400 --> 00:42:26.000
You're you're just you're reinforcing gender stereotypes and blah blah

687
00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:28.840
blah blah blah. Well, yeah she is, but it's also

688
00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:30.920
her life. If that's what she really wants to do,

689
00:42:31.519 --> 00:42:34.599
she'll find a sucker. Well I mean she'll be the sucker,

690
00:42:34.760 --> 00:42:37.519
but she'll find a guy willing to enter into this relationship.

691
00:42:37.760 --> 00:42:39.519
I don't I don't know that I agree with the

692
00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:42.880
gender stereotypes because I know plenty of guys if if

693
00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:47.519
they could find a wealthy woman, they'd be more than

694
00:42:47.519 --> 00:42:50.000
happy to uh, you know, there's some trade offs there,

695
00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:53.480
but uh, a nice comfy life, Yeah, I think they'd

696
00:42:53.519 --> 00:42:53.840
take that.

697
00:42:55.679 --> 00:42:57.519
I think I think you jump on that.

698
00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:00.880
It would certainly give me something to think about.

699
00:43:03.719 --> 00:43:06.960
How much are we talking? Yeah, you're right, you're doing

700
00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:09.280
all these things now in your life that would make

701
00:43:09.320 --> 00:43:10.960
you a hell of a catch for a nice, rich

702
00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:11.559
older lady.

703
00:43:11.639 --> 00:43:12.920
I am a good house husband.

704
00:43:14.679 --> 00:43:20.239
You cook, you clean, and you all night. But you

705
00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:25.000
need to be aware of the gym penis. Okay, sorry

706
00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:26.639
to bring the room down, but I mean, if you're

707
00:43:26.639 --> 00:43:28.599
going to be a good house husband, this is something

708
00:43:28.639 --> 00:43:32.800
to consider when I when I say to you, Jim

709
00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:36.639
Penis is real. What do you think, Jim Penis is?

710
00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:39.480
I haven't a clue.

711
00:43:40.719 --> 00:43:43.320
I didn't either. Early one, sure, I was like, what, like, like,

712
00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:45.880
if you're doing squats or something, it turns a weird way.

713
00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:49.679
I mean, I've I've worked out in gyms now for

714
00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:54.800
oh my god, I'm about to do math like thirty years. Yeah,

715
00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:57.360
I don't really recall it. Thinking, hey, what's going on

716
00:43:57.440 --> 00:44:00.159
with my wiener while I'm at the gym. Well, well,

717
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:06.119
at least not in an abnormal way.

718
00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:09.880
All right, now I can kind of think about it.

719
00:44:09.920 --> 00:44:14.280
So I'm gonna assume it has to do with blood flow,

720
00:44:14.320 --> 00:44:15.400
and it's not going to.

721
00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:22.639
Specific areas, that is correct. Jim penis is the opposite

722
00:44:22.679 --> 00:44:25.000
of the pump. Most of us go to the gym

723
00:44:25.039 --> 00:44:27.199
to get a pump, right, You get your biceps big,

724
00:44:27.239 --> 00:44:29.239
your chest looks good, your back looks good, your legs

725
00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:32.920
look good. Do your legs? Boys? Jim penis is the opposite.

726
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:38.840
Because you've pumped up everything else, your wiener is losing out.

727
00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:44.599
So Jim penis has to do with shrinkage in the area.

728
00:44:46.360 --> 00:44:49.320
See, and maybe this is just me.

729
00:44:51.000 --> 00:44:55.079
First of all, I have never looked at my dick

730
00:44:55.199 --> 00:44:56.840
before or after a workout and.

731
00:44:56.800 --> 00:44:57.920
Gone, well, what happened?

732
00:44:58.440 --> 00:44:58.559
Uh?

733
00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:03.920
I always think I look really crappy after I leave

734
00:45:03.960 --> 00:45:09.199
the gym. And you know, yeah you might if you've

735
00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:12.559
done chess or something, you might have you know, a

736
00:45:12.599 --> 00:45:17.920
little swollen as it were. But in general, it's like

737
00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:20.400
your body is all out of whack and you've been

738
00:45:20.440 --> 00:45:23.199
sweating your ass off and so nothing nothing looks great.

739
00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:25.880
It takes you know, a couple hours later you look better,

740
00:45:25.960 --> 00:45:27.079
next day look better.

741
00:45:27.320 --> 00:45:29.360
But yeah, who.

742
00:45:33.440 --> 00:45:36.440
See it's stuff like this, and now I go, Okay,

743
00:45:36.679 --> 00:45:38.760
there are guys that are going to the gym and

744
00:45:38.760 --> 00:45:41.480
then they're you know, looking down their pants, going what happened?

745
00:45:42.199 --> 00:45:44.440
Okay, you're not doing a dick bell.

746
00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:48.400
I swear to god, though, if that was an option,

747
00:45:48.480 --> 00:45:50.880
that twenty four hour fitness, they'd be lined up.

748
00:45:51.039 --> 00:45:52.320
I'm sure that. Yeah.

749
00:45:52.360 --> 00:45:54.079
But if it makes if it was to make it

750
00:45:54.119 --> 00:45:57.400
bigger like your chest, absolutely no guy would miss. If

751
00:45:58.199 --> 00:45:59.679
no guy would miss dick day.

752
00:46:00.119 --> 00:46:03.239
No, I mean, if there were a proven way to

753
00:46:03.280 --> 00:46:07.159
make things bigger, the gym would be twenty there would

754
00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:08.920
be a line out the door twenty four to seven,

755
00:46:09.119 --> 00:46:11.639
and that that machine would be the hottest machine you

756
00:46:11.639 --> 00:46:12.119
could find.

757
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:21.679
I mean for men and women. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, do.

758
00:46:21.599 --> 00:46:23.559
You have a lot of money, get your ass in there.

759
00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:26.960
Come on, that's right, you're so. It'd it'd be a

760
00:46:27.039 --> 00:46:28.920
nice change for the ladies at the gym instead of

761
00:46:28.920 --> 00:46:31.159
them wearing tight clothes and being recorded. Then the guys

762
00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:33.559
will start wearing tight clothes and they can start recording

763
00:46:33.639 --> 00:46:37.480
us on the dick push man.

764
00:46:37.920 --> 00:46:45.000
There would be like an assembly line of Dick machine

765
00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:48.639
tan bed shower women waiting.

766
00:46:48.400 --> 00:46:59.599
