Wait, you buy it and then I I'll pay for it, but it'll just come here. I
Don't have prime anymore me neither. Oh shit
Hey Drew. Oh what bad?
Haha, I
One of those no, why not
I want to buy one by Mia Miguel booklet. I think I have another one
Just write it on a fucking tablet like that you bitch. No, I don't want this tab. I want a notebook. Oh
Wait, I do have a notebook. Hey Drew in there's that top of cubby. Can you grab a small yellow?
Hey
You don't tell our guest to go do shit. He's the closest it doesn't matter
You don't tell him to go grab it Terry. I have plenty of legal I don't want that legal pad. Fuck that shit
I don't want it then I want it. I'll be right back. Hold on
You're so stupid today. We have a guest bring a notebook. I got you in your back. You're such a bitch. No suck a cock
today's guest is
not true it is
milk my muffin aka Drew
from your
Right on podcast
There's a lot of guys. It's dead. Oh
You guys haven't been doing it. No Terry is never available. He's always
either here or
Not here. I've noticed I've noticed lately the past like two weeks a
Little bit more of the like hey, can we do it a different day a little bit of this?
So I can only imagine what you're going through. Oh, yeah
I crossed that bridge three months ago. Hey. Hey. Hey. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
You can't blame me you got
Your shit's all fucked up now, too
Did you ask me to buy you a notebook when you had a nice leather bound notebook in your backpack?
Dude, no feel that that's not leather. It's like fake leather. Oh, it's like my own dude. You know, is this for work?
Well, yeah, you know how much they they pump that shit out so much. They just pump it out made in China
It's got that J
Yeah, pretty cheapy, but the paper's fine. Why do you have it? Because it are you supposed to use it for work?
Yes, that's the thought process. Can I read this?
Uh, no, can I read just this?
Yes, what do you have in there? No, no, no, he's talking about like lift on there
I just don't want him to say where I work even though I probably have already you've talked about it
I've literally heard you shill about an episode where you bitched about your workplace for
Yes, for all my drugs. It's gotta be like tabs though. It's tabs of acid. It's
He's not putting full pills in there. No, what I was thinking of is just use this no
Do you have a pen?
No, I mean we get one because I need this to write down titles
You also have a literal computer in front of you that could do this just the same and you could just have more effectively
You could just have a saved
Yeah, a saved file that you always have open and then it's like the things I need to hit at the top
Hey, everybody, welcome back. Don't forget. We're we're listener supported
Supporters on buy me a coffee and blah blah blah blah blah. I'm Terry and I want your support. Yeah
That's your normal spiel and you got to like have that in front of you at all times
So you can like do the spiel at the beginning and the end of every episode. This is actually way cooler without the thing on out
Great, I just want to point out that was an incredibly natural segue
You're welcome
I didn't clip the George Bush thing for you. Oh, did you do do I?
Didn't oh, I think you said you did I said I didn't
but
Wait, can we go back? Oh wait?
Can we just like go back a couple minutes and then take that piece and then just like have that just a natural thing
I can just press a button
Wait, you want to fuck
No, no, no that that's lazy you want to record yourself
Yeah, on a button that you can just hit every time. Yeah, it has to be a new
authentic
Different spiel like you got to play with it have fun with it
You got to play with it. I don't like you're sure you've seen this
It's not playing for me. What?
All right, fuck I hold on what the thing is the thing is is that every time that you come in here Mike?
You should probably Margie sweating
You just waiting I'm not show up in a window
I was packing my car before so I'm a little bit hot. I mean it is hot in here, too
Yeah, I know I'm here. It's fine. Yeah, I'm not saying you know
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I did have like a whole spiel that I wanted to introduce you with
Oh, wow, then I did it a little bit and then it kind of just went away
Where was like, you know, I was like the right on podcast crazy. No, I mean I think that
You think or you do think I do think that we
I'm fixing it hold on
That we we should we we say this all the time that we should
Water okay, it's back that we should start it up again, but yeah, yeah
We say it all the time. Yeah, you Terry. Oh, we do really we do we just haven't seen each other in a while
It has been busy. I will give you that
It sucks especially if you guys have like
Alternating schedules. Yeah, I mean that didn't that had no problems before in fact that was kind of
Yes
If if he was on my like days of the week with his current hours in the day schedule
It wouldn't work, but now that well, he's always busy on the weekend. That's the problem. Well
Not really shut the fuck up. Yes. You are okay. Sorry dad
Sorry dad
He's my boss man. I've got to make sure I bow down, you know, you're gonna call daddy
Well, I do call my other boss daddy to you. Yeah, it's kind of funny
I hate when people call me daddy. Have you seen this true? Wait, what if a woman says I would feel incredibly uncomfortable
If a woman called you daddy if Casey called me daddy, I would I would freeze I wouldn't know what to do daddy
I don't think I would even like it if a girl that I was dating called me daddy
wouldn't yeah
You were having like, you know
Coitus or intercourse or whatever you want to call these days sex and then they're like, oh fuck me daddy
You're just like, uh, what would you keep would you keep going? I could see I could see like in a certain situation where it might like
Turn me on but also I don't know
I am not a yeah, what do you call it a Dom in the bedroom?
It would probably throw me off and I got to be like a hundred percent in the zone
And it's very easy to like get me off my game when when I'm in in the moment. Yeah. Yeah
I have performance anxiety like a motherfucker. I think a lot of people do
I
Know a lot of people want to send blankets or water just send your cash
Just send your cash
Yeah, I need to clip that for Terry that was back today. We're that was probably Hurricane Katrina, right? Nailed it
That's exactly what it was was that Hurricane Katrina nailed it. Yeah, I mean alright
So it may sound insensitive, but as Bush is saying just send money that is literally like the best example of
Charity in most cases think of a food bank, right?
Most people when they're don't any food banks they will give random crap
They use that opportunity to clear out their pantry and you got to think which on one hand is like, okay
It's like but on the other hand, it's kind of a shitty thing
Yeah, and most people who are getting rid of things to food banks are just giving them expired shit. Yeah, so that now the food
they're going to death
Now the food bank. Well, they can't give it out. That's like the food bank is not allowed to do that
So they have to then process the stuff to get rid of it. Wait, it's just costing them more money
They can't give expired stuff to homeless people. Yeah, I'm like
So I understand that on one hand, but on the other hand
real me this
I'm a bag of dicks put me to your lips. Um, if
If it's the difference between not eating and eating like maybe expired food or food that's like past the best buy date
Mm-hmm. I might choose to just eat that food. Okay. Let me let me put this other perspective
debate debate debate what if the person you give expired food to dies
You are then liable for killing well, I would I would argue wait wait. No, I would argue while that may be true legally
I would argue that
the
Person who's starving to death needs to make a judgment call
Like I would argue. I would that sounds like someone coming from a perspective. I'm not having a lot of things available to them
I'm not saying that like stable sources of food. That's ideal. I'm just saying a roof over their head
One could make the other to clean that argument one could make it
I don't know if it's clean water. It's still like probably has like fluoride in it or something
Yeah, but all fucking water is floored in it. Yeah, cuz
Like like Bush is saying cuz you know the water company does it they just throw it in there for you
Yeah, like it's good for your teeth most
Most food banks and donation like resource centers will always say like just if you give us cash
We know what we need and we know what people need
So we can like take the time to figure that out and get the appropriate things as opposed to like
Oh, I'm gonna donate these 27 cans of black beans that I have sitting in my garage. I
Got a bunch of black beans
I eat a lot of black beans though
Well, the thing is that the show that you have in your house is kind of like your pantry
He has the same thing in his house, which is like a pantry
I like to have canned shit on been pulled because I you know, it's easy to make shit
I keep my also. They're also good for a while. That's why I have a lot of
Yeah, yeah, I mean one of my friends gave like was clearing out their apartment when they moved and
They gave me like a big like shopping bag like the paper bags just full of like cans of black beans
I like black beans not that much though, and I literally
I
Didn't open a single one of them. It's been like three years now
But like I think they're still sitting at my parents house in the bag. So I don't like they're probably not good at this point
Dude, are they in the in a can?
Liquid mixture, I don't know I never opened them. I couldn't tell you mostly like black beans come in like a yeah
I'm assuming they're in some kind of Brian. Well, it's like I think it's like it's just water
It's like a light lightly salted water type thing and then it's I need a pen. Yeah, wow Mike already said that
Oh, do you have a cool pen?
Moving on I can't with this
I just I just I know I was thinking of like when when I was said when I said
Flow ride
Flow ride. I was thinking of flow right it flow right it and I didn't realize like
Honestly, I only figured this out like maybe like three or five three or three or five three or five years ago that
Flow ride his name is just Florida
It's okay. It took me until I got to college
But it's not though. Yeah, this but it's not his name is not Florida
I know but if you think about it he if you see him all the time
He's in like a white tank top. Yeah in Florida because he's from Florida
Okay, and so his name is flow rider and it's just Florida. It's spelled Florida. You mean yeah, that's not Florida
It's just spelled Florida. It's just spelled like Florida, but you didn't say that so it doesn't matter what you think well, but
Yeah, I feel like I got fart please don't do it in here. Yes, don't
Don't do it
You're stupid
Like I heard it, but I don't know if that was my ears
I think I was a little bit to the headphones. I think it's okay. Well, we should have a fart mic
What a fart mic that is so specific dedicated Mike just sitting on the table
Yeah
So like if you have the fire, but you just put on your ass and then you don't have to have it next to your mouth
Holy shit guys, but you don't want to have a fart mic
Granted Terry has thought about this and mentioned it like for probably two years
What I could do is never decided to buy another mic then I just need to buy it part of now one when the ones here
Far on the gas like
Like man, why is this thing smells so weird? No, I'm just like you don't you don't know how to have a brother
Don't do that. You should be like oh
We get a fart mic you want to get a fart mic I have extra microphones
Yeah, remember I purchased microphones for our other podcast. We need an extra for our other podcasts
Hey from here. Yeah, there's no audience. Yeah, and I have all this hardware and this equipment
And you know what it sits in my living room
What happened to the other people that were on your podcast?
They keep asking when we're gonna do the podcast and I keep having to tell them that Terry's not available
Do they want to do it?
Yes, dude, but Terry they love you and want you to join I get that but if like if there's like schedule like constraints just do it
You're telling me you can't find one day like an hour and a half an hour
Just do a short one dude
You can't find one day a week
We a tiny little window of time where all the people can like make it work
Do you can't find one day one hour two hours?
We haven't no overlap not a chance. I see where you're coming from there Mike
You don't have to yell at me dude. It's hurting my ears. Okay, let him please. God damn. You know, I mean no
I get it. I'm just saying as in like
You don't like the podcast has four people on it
One person can be a wave and then come back as long as that person's not me
You are absolutely right you are the main star
I am the glue that holds together the podcast
You are you are the main one who puts in 95% of the work. I used to put in like
3% I'll give you 2% that's good enough
Hey, man, I I tried to get our podcast on like Spotify and shit like that
It was there for like a day and then it was there and then it got somehow just got deleted from the universe
Trust me. I know I go in Spotify and hold on. I'll pull it up. You guys don't want to pay for hosting like we do on ours
Well, it's it's there. I have it ready to go as some of why I say nipple
That's that's the playlist name of my main
I have the right on podcast ready to go and it just
Can you search our podcast, please? Oh?
We're definitely on there. I know we are but you guys what why is it not on there?
So you guys don't pay for like a podcast. No because I didn't want to front that cost as well
I didn't want to well. No, I mean I would have paid for how much should we pay a hundred bucks a year
Yeah, Mike if you understood how much money I've put into the podcast already. Oh, I'm sure hey, hey like hey Drew
Hey, Drew, I know
I bought this TV for the podcast
Yeah, I mean it's mine
I bought it for the podcast. Yeah, we split the cost of this because it's the cost of everything on the table
Everything yeah, it's because it's not at the table. That's the problem
but but true I
Know I know it. I know yeah
The the last podcast last episode we did that was the live one where we built the keyboards I
Purchased on Christmas or some shit. No, no, it was some time after that. It was one the keyboards. Yeah. Yeah
Yeah, that was in that yeah, I was in like in February or something. So that was
That was all out of my own pocket to buy like all those parts and everything and granted
This was something I wanted to do so like I'm not really like griping that much
But in total buying parts for four people to build their own custom keyboards all special all unique
No duplicate parts amongst any of them
Was 11 $1,100. So first of all Terry told me about like you guys are building keyboards
I was like, oh, that's cool. You guys are all doing that together like how much is a keyboard cost?
And he's like, oh, it's like, oh, what do you mean? You don't know he's like, oh Drew bought them all like what the fuck
Like I was so surprised. I was like that's insane. Yeah, it's because there's no way I could convince them all to buy the parts
Because they would have cheaped out they wouldn't have got like good quality
So the thing is the thing is that if you asked me to buy my parts for it
I probably would have or split the cost with you instead of you have a job that pays money
Yeah, Brandon does not have a job. That's Jessica has a job. That's low paying
Rob doesn't have he has a job now and he seems to be flexing his money quite a bit actually
Um, what is he doing flexing his money? Oh, he works like a car dealership now and I just I don't know like is he selling cars?
No, he's like he's still in the service like area department
But like he keeps
Like he's saying oh, I'll buy this game or like oh, I need to buy this new thing for the apartment
I'm like, oh, wow, like he lives in an apartment. He's by himself. He's in Pullman. Yeah
Oh, nice. Yeah, you go to
I was there for a producer Rob. He's just living there our producer Rob. Why way? Why Pullman?
One of our friends you know the house the dogs is fucking shit
But one of our friends has a house over there and he moved over there at one point to get away from his parents because that's who he was living with got you
Um, and then he just naturally found a place in Pullman just because that's where he was working. Yeah
but
Yeah, I try to do that. Well
Spotify has that little like anchor or whatever thing you can you can upload to Spotify for free through I think anchor
Yeah, that's what I was doing, but it's only Spotify, right?
So I just was gonna put it on there because mostly, you know, maybe
You know two out of five people have Spotify these days
Yeah
But I don't know everyone in your friend group is like, oh, I love title
Well, here's the thing is thanks to this motherfucker. So I so we'll get back on that because I've been doing some research
Oh, please Terry after you finish your conversation. Give us the feedback on your investigation. I will
Get Terry give us give us give us a report, please news news just
I'm still unprofessional. Oh, yeah
Please continue. Sorry. Oh, yeah
Um
Wait, what was it?
Anchor. Oh, yeah, anchor
so I was loading up to anchor and the thing was it was there and
Like I was I was posting
Maybe three or four
Uh videos because I was trying to get them there and then all of a sudden people were listening to it and then
One day it just disappeared and I don't know why I didn't get an email saying like it disappeared
Like because it's under your
It's under your email. So there should have been an email. I think it's the you know
Did you try logging on to anchor the right under listing it?
It's underneath the right on podcast email, but the thing is is that
It just disappeared. Did you try walking on to anchor?
D listing it and relisting it. I haven't gotten to he's not going to get to that
That's not it's being around the bush here. I didn't that simple as just logging on anchor.com and clicking two couple buttons or no
Depending on what's happened to it because it could have been that there is another
Right on podcast out there that could have just been like this is wait. There's another ride right on like the same spelling and everything
Like your right hand. Um, yeah
You just said like this
I was like jerking off the the yeah
Yeah, there is but they could have what they could have done on anchor just pepper spray. It's my vape
I had like a keychain pepper spray thing or something there. I could see that they could have just said your plugs
Yeah, loop. I love loop. I got them for the boy. Yo boy
Is the one that said to get them. Yeah
Like a good case. He liked them. Yeah, oh, she put them in. Yeah. She has sensitive ears. Yes
Damn
If I was at a concert, I'd be wearing she like that. It was an outdoor concert. It wasn't really loud. Oh, yeah, that's bad
But yeah, she she appreciated them. She's like, oh, damn. These are really nice. Like I got you girl
She's your girl now. Right continue. Anyways, um congrats
Anyways, um
But he never logged back in he never tried to fix it. I was like Terry figure it out. You have all the information
All the cards are in your hands. Here's the thing explain to us. Hold on. Why it would be more complicated than we're thinking it is
Okay, obviously a lot of you don't upload shit and I do the mostly this end of uploading on our
Me and mike's podcast. I'm sorry
It's true. He he does. Okay. I do the most he's the one who logs into our here's the thing is must be nice
Thing and upload there. Well, I mean
He's got it down and it takes like it takes me 20 minutes 20 minutes max
Man, I do all the live streaming and have to figure that all out then everybody gets on my ass about it
But here hear me out
Can you see the reason why I don't want to do it because I've already do it
If I if we were doing this podcast today and then we had our podcast later today
I don't want to do it twice
Here's my counter argument go for it. You do it all the time
Therefore you have a better skill set and knowledge and something that would take you 15 minutes would take me
Four fucking hours to figure out how to use how to figure it out and how to how to make I mean I guided him through it
But he has a good point in that you know you have like you're the most qualified person to do it
Your argument is very valid and I should be doing it and I'm a terrible person and share the fucking load
Remember I do 95 of everything the cost the editing the uploading the monitoring. Okay. Hold on
The moderation the content creation the content creation you had a fucking AI generated thing that did it for you
They should have had you had everything that just was a click a button and you just it just went
That drew now drew now does that make you feel?
so for
For what it's worth. You know we should call this episode like the ride on the ride on podcast feuders
No, we're gonna call it bags of black beans
I
Should be doing it. Yes, I should be uploading it and I did do it
but the thing is is that sometimes what can happen is is that if you
you post on there
and
Someone claims
That it's their podcast
It goes away
So like say there was two ride on podcasts which there are which there is somehow
Wait, you should name it like write on with Druntary in the name. Well, the thing was it was it was that
Before then we just we kind of just killed it and just did because we brought in Brandon and Jessica were there more
Yeah, oh, we just shortened it down. We just shortened it down to ride on podcast
Well, maybe that's the play make tweak the name so it is like not identical
The problem is write on with Druntary is such a fucking mouthful that it's not marketable
Yeah, I I don't think it has to be that long
could it be like
Right on and then like one extra word or something. You know what I mean? It wouldn't have to be
With or we could we could just change it just like a little bit in the word. We could just be like, oh
Oh ride on
You know because you just go right on
You have the time I say oh right on wait is the other one called write on it's write on like so many years right on podcast
Like in the title that is what it is. That's our that's what it is dude. So change it just right on then
You see what I'm saying like make it whatever the other one is not
So the issue is we could yes, I mean I could try to I'm saying I could try to figure it out right now
The reason I'm saying this is if that's the reason why it's being like delisted from Spotify
That seems to me like the obvious answer. You're right. And you know what the only answer
I would leave it to our resident
RSS uploader
knowledgeable information guy over here
To figure that out
I don't know do you oh here we go here we go
So right on so here's the thing. I'm gonna switch my podcast app and see what the write on podcasts
This is where this is what happens is is that I click this and it just says we're unable to log you in
It says recent change to your log into Spotify. Did you change dude? No, I didn't change the
Did you change the password to the our email? No
Here you go our first Spotify right on my friend
That's what we should have called it right on my friend
Oh
Right on my brother right on them right on sports
The write on sports podcast
To local guys bringing all things sports right here to the coastal beach
I'm gonna send I'm gonna send you something to the the podcast email see if you can do something
I don't have it on this. There's a podcast just go for it. There's a podcast called write write only sometimes
But the issue is that that's what's going on and then I have to go into
What I did was is I just used like a third party thing that
Downloaded the audio just to put it on there and then I uploaded it
That's what I did
And then somehow it just disappeared
You know what I find hilarious. What's that? We still have our patreon subscribers
Get that paper. It's like five. It's like five people. It is
But because it was such a low amount nobody thinks that yeah, yeah, I know I know trust me. It's it's all
Trust me. That's what I'm it's all part of the wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. It's been trying to hold on. Hold on. Hold on
Is this it? I'm so the write on podcast
Let me let me see the the description is when the coronavirus comes in the
Door should human rights go out the window? We explore tough questions with inspiring activists thinkers and leaders
That's the other one human rights movement. That was the actual one that it's called the write on podcast
Yeah, the last time they posted was october of 2020
Fuck them. Yeah, so they they should be the ones who get delisted
So they could be those lazy bitches. They could be claiming that it's theirs. You should claim it's yours
But I just sent can you law? I don't know if I don't have the email address
Man, dude, you get really like they did five episodes only
We have like 30 something these are the people that it could be other people. Yeah, those were the people
I would just like to say from there's no audience podcast right on the right on podcast. We are at war with you motherfuckers
Fuck off. Um, let me see if I can
I can't want to see if I can do it
Look in a perfect world. I'll do it. I would say
I wish we could go back to I wish we could just have live episodes all the time
Like the live and in person things are my favorite like by a significant margin
It's okay ours is a really shittily generated AI picture
It is we have some it is so shitty in fact that when I went to go print out photos for print out stickers
The sticker company emailed me back and they're like, hey, this is really blurry
And really bad. Are you sure this is correct? I'm like, yeah
They really did see because it's like a legit printing company, you know, hey, are you sure?
And then I was like, no, it's actually supposed to be that bad and the
That's on purpose. That's the charm
The the ironic part was I had taken the photo and like upscaled it and sharpened it so that it looked better as well
So this was like the post edited by the original one
They probably could have just taken that and made it into all they do is just slap it on and print it
They don't do any kind of upscaling. Oh, that's not their job
Gotcha, which is why they wanted to verify that this like before they went to the
So shitty. Yeah
But uh
What was that pisses me off
Yeah
The podcast has five episodes and hasn't posted in like three years that if you have a podcast is similar in name
And so like let's just say in reality
There was another there was another podcast that
Says has another I just want to say they're still paying for podcast hosting
If I can get it on my my pod podverse app
Like they're paying for five episodes to stay hosted and they're not posting new content. No, I think
I think
I think we're not paying that's stupid. The thing is once that I believe I'm not saying I believe I'm not I'm not the
I'm not
I
Believe that is you believe or you do believe I do believe
Is that if it's in the internet, it's just gonna it's already there. So like all of our shit's there
It's just in the dark web
Universe of shit. It's called youtube
Also, it's it's not every every episode is on youtube and available to be watched right now
Well for the right on podcast ours isn't oh, well that seems like a missed opportunity
I used to do it, but it's just like I had it. Well. Yeah, you have to click
I have to click a button
Oh, no, and something well, I think there's more to it. There's more to it. They like not letting us do it or something
Here's more to this fucking thing is that if it's over two hours. Oh, yeah, you cannot post it from there
I would have to physically
Upload it again
Oh, no
Oh, no, also, that's a great point wouldn't be the end of the world. I don't really fucking
Care if I got podcasts on youtube, so I let him make the decision on that one, but also like there's no point of me
You know youtube has a podcast up to you right you post there so
YouTube do they we used to be right well, oh, yeah, I need to do that at least like a year and a half old
So google's podcasting got
They can't they close the app down and then now they have so then youtube you can convert your audio audio episodes
Into videos and publish them on youtube with this is with no cost
But i'm trying I got to verify it
Um, is that a separate app? I don't know true. Do you know?
Uh, yes, it is separate. So it's like called youtube podcasts. Yes
I wonder terry if it just if it's like an rss podcast app and it will just pick up the feed
I don't know
Like I wonder if
It's already being uploaded there
No
If they support rss, I guess
Well, I'm I I had to verify that it was so like this is the thing you see you actually have to verify if it's yours or not
And when it's on that app when it's on
Well, what i'm trying to do is
See, I think there should be it should be okay if two different feeds have the same name
In my opinion, you're not we don't know if that's the actual problem. You just got to remember that
That's a good point too. Yeah, that's never looked it up. That's a good point
You don't know that
You don't know that I did that
You're right. I don't know but I have a good idea. Amen. Drew can't prove that you didn't do something. Yeah
You can't prove that I am
Like it says this is publishing to youtube is active
For it, but the thing is is like it's not automatically
But then there's not a thing that's called youtube podcasts. It's called just youtube
I mean, it might be built. I know that there is a podcast section within the youtube channels
Because um when I was uploading all of our stuff there was a section to like put it in as like a podcast playlist
Which I do have
But the issue is is that I have to like create 37. Oh, that's not even all of them
You would think that it would be like
I mean, I think that's like a podcast on the bottom. You would think wouldn't that be something if it were in the youtube app? I mean
You would think brother. I like where your head's at. So here's here's a comment I have
Yeah, if you pay for youtube premium, you get youtube without ads you get what youtube music
You get I only use it for the ads me to literally pay me to
I think there's a separate youtube music app. And if there's a separate youtube podcast and all this stuff, it's like
Is there not a missed opportunity from google to just have it all in the same app?
I don't know and that's coming from google who doesn't know shit seems to me like that's so
So in the music, here's the issue that I'm coming with too. Sorry. Oh, I have to cut you off
It's definitely in the music app. That's where the podcasts are. Okay, so I'm trying to and that makes sense. I'm trying to submit
Uh like our rss feed into the youtube studio app or whatever to go to make it go on to the youtube
Podcast but every yeah our podcast. Yes, you're not the right on because it sucks dick and but there's no audience
podcast
I'm just joking. I'm just joking.
Bullshit you are.
I'm just joking.
Bitch.
But no, uh, like it's it's like I put it in there and then it's saying the rss feed is invalid missing owner email for rss feed
Please contact your podcast hosting company to add your email to your rss feed. It's like what?
That's for getting it on youtube. This is for getting it on to youtube. So youtube is so dumb and it's like I
Like we have an email youtube
And it's connected to the rss feed that we have
Dumb dumbs using that to make that connection probably so you just need to go to youtube and verify your email address
Or create an email or a account
Thank you, sir. Um, I've already done that
I've already done the verification of our our podcast on youtube youtube
YouTube okay, and it's still giving me the fucking ding dong run around shit
And I hate it. I hate it
I bet you could figure it out. I bet you could I bet I could figure it out, but I'm not going to oh man
You don't want to
I
Have my own prop. I have my own problems
But it's not like it doesn't give you like so once I go in there and I try to
You know try to it says, you know, you can create and upload a new podcast to it. So I go there and it goes
blah blah blah blah
Oh, is it creating a podcast?
Oh
Well, I could but then I have to download the file and put it in there dude live tech support on the podcast
That's crazy. Yeah, but here's the thing is what I want is the rss feed to just submit it
So once it should automatically do it. Well, that's the whole I mean the reason we want that is because that's the whole purpose of an rss feed
Yeah, so any app that supports podcasting under the rss format
Just picks the feed up. Yeah, which that's the whole value prop. Yeah of that
It's like a forget and forget kind of thing forget forget. Yeah forget. Yeah with that word. I got you, brother
Terry's R worded so
Yes
But it just
It's it's fucking annoying
It's absolutely true. Are we done with this topic? Yeah, we can be
I have a question about vapes
Okay, I thought
I thought wasn't there a thing like in the last couple years where they're making like more and more vapes illegal and shit and like flavors?
Yeah, I know about this. I remember that too and I remember it being a big deal and everybody like
It was like they didn't want kids
Vaping because it was like addictive because they had like flavors and shit like so I think what it came down to was like the disposable
Kind that you'd buy like a gas station couldn't have anything aside from like standard flavors
So like because it was the regular kids. Yeah, yeah, regular like mint
Sorry menthol and then I think there's like
I don't know I I don't I don't go that route. So I just go to a store that has the liquid and I buy the liquid and
Then I hate myself. But wait, so this this vapy thing
Is that like a nice?
It's not like a nice. It's all a nice make you be thing like it looks like it's a robust and heavy and shit
Is I mean it's nicer than others? It's like reusable. That's the whole thing. I've had this for
Three or four years now
So you it you get liquid refills from like a like a smoke shop. Yeah, they sell that stuff
Yeah, they come in like a hundred ounce bottles and you can get pretty flavors if you want it
So it's not like that shit's illegal the one in this right now is like
Watermelon strawberry and ice
so
What is in the liquid? Is it just like flavor shit or is it is there nicotine or there's no tobacco, right? So they're
There's some parts of it. God damn it. Mike
I'm just curious because I thought that was a fucking pepper spray now
I know it's not and then I remembered something I read about like vapes being illegal or something
Yeah, yeah, so there's like aspects of it. There's like four four components basically
um, there's the thing that holds the
The that carries the flavor. There's the chemical that holds the mix the you know the vapor the clouds
There's the flavoring itself and then there's the nicotine
Okay, so so it's basically flavored nicotine. Yeah, I mean, yeah, so
the what makes the flavors that's the
Problematic part because they they're saying that kids like it. Yes. I mean
I mean there is definitely some some problems like for example there when
when I was in high school and
Getting into college. There was this
flavor of e-liquid called unicorn milk
Great. Stop. Stop. Stop. Start again. What there's a what called unicorn milk
There was a flavor of e-liquid called unicorn. You say e-liquid. You mean? Yeah. Yeah, that's okay. E-liquid. So, um, that's a good choo title
e-liquid
It's not as good of a title as you think the back-to-back bling is really good
I like short titles if possible. I just want you know as few words as possible when well still funny
I just want you know like come blind. I just want you know
The what I've been looking on our analytics for our show
The ones that have longer titles do better because they makes it more interesting on our podcast on our podcast
Yeah, well they can go fuck them. So I like the short title. That's creative choices. The same so
This e-liquid called unicorn milk unicorn milk. Yes. That's just before you continue. That's insane
From the outside looking at yes, I do understand that
The the the flavor of it was like strawberry milk. That was the the whole thing. Oh, okay
um, and its proposition is that when you bought it it was like a pink
looked like strawberry milk. It was like would look like yes. It was pink and it was
Like milky in in substance. Okay. Um
To achieve that the company added in this chemical called dialectal
That doesn't sound good. Every chemical sounds bad if you actually say it out loud. You just throw it out there
Fair enough fair enough. Um
So but the problem with dialectal, uh, this is how they got that pink color
One after
Some amount of time the liquid would go from like pink to like this dark gray. Oh as it aged
Yes, as it fermented or steeped. So if you didn't like to use it fast and use it up fast enough
It would start to get discolored. Yes, and that that is kind of a problem. But uh, why why?
Well, it's a it's a problem from a marketing standpoint. Yes, and from it's basically like a change in the chemical compounds. So
Uh, think of like oxidation and rust. That's kind of what was happening. Okay. Uh, and then secondly that's cool. Shit that you're inhaling
Yes, and the next thing is called uh for what dialectal what it does is you can
You can drink the chemical you can ingest it and it would be safe
But because of the way that vapes work of heating them up into like, you know a gas basically
Um, what that does is it makes it very thin and then the chemical will coat itself on your lung
And then never go away
Think of like oh, how are you micro plastics that kind of thing? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
Um, and there was the term was called popcorn lung
Because it would block off your lung capacity and you would actually be able to breathe less because damn it would literally coat your lungs
So that specific chemical diet
dialectal
That was specific to that one flavor. Yes. Wow. And that was like all the rage
It was for like a month and then like all the information came out and everyone's like get the fuck out of here with holy shit
Yeah, so that that was you know, shut up to the fda for watching out for us. Oh, bullshit. The fda isn't do shit when it comes to
Vapes, I'm just saying it's like I whenever people say like the fda like blocks bad stuff. It's like
Okay, dude. No, no, it was it was a community consensus of it being like a bad thing
And it's like when they turn gray. That's when people are like, oh, shit. This is a bad thing
That was the flag where they're like, oh, yeah, let's look at them people started looking into it more
but mainly the takeaway on that is
The flavors can come from anything
There's like a joke that uh, some flavor for like grapefruit or something comes from like the gland of a beaver's asshole or something
Oh, sure. Sure. Sure. Yeah, you're always like
These like artificial natural flavor chemicals. Yeah, like where do they come from?
Yeah, exactly what what benefit or what problems do they mix them up in a lab?
But it's like where does the actual shit come from correct? So what's wrong with the beaver's asshole?
It mean probably nothing. Yeah, obviously it's it's selling an animal. Yeah. Yeah
Beavers show me them butts
Show me that showing your anal gland
so
Obviously, I'm not making that a title
Show me your anal gland
I'm not ready to tell you
but it's good though, so
There's lots of flavors, but like flavors now don't have that shit that like coats your lungs
Well, most people don't do the research included like yeah
I am like pretty brand loyal to like two brands at this point and I only buy our certain brands good at
Putting out information like hey, this is why we have good shit because we do this and this and this with our like ingredients
Yes, but again, I don't do my research. Okay, so it's just the brands I like
Those are the ones I go to and
You know anecdotal of like how the liquids made
For example, like I said, there's it's primarily like 90 percent. Maybe even 95 percent proprietary plug or usbc
That is an air vent
You have to charge it. Yes usbc. Hell yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was that was a big thing
This is like one of the first ones I could find and they had type c everything else is micro usb
Yeah, some of them have like wireless charging now that alone would make me buy this one. Yeah for tips
I wouldn't care how it could be a hundred dollars more
I'm gonna rack that with gun metal like shit. It's very worn because I've used it a lot
Yeah, he's been sucking on it a lot. Oh, I can see the liquid in there
So it won't come out if you dump it upside down. No
No, if it um if it gets warm it does kind of like seep out a little bit. So
There's trying to put it like that. I I usually do. It's more sealed this way
I don't know why but if I leave it sideways, it tends to find a way to seep out
So
Don't start vaping
That's my takeaway. You've gotten this far in life without a problem. Don't worry. I'm not
So yeah, it's not for me. This was uh, I blame
One person and one person only for my my vaping. I thought you're gonna blame me. I was like, don't blame me
Is it expensive? Like how much is that vial of liquid?
$45 45. Well, didn't it last like your didn't greg do the same thing. Didn't he vape?
Like him and nicole
They did yeah for sure
Greg
Nicole yeah, nicole did it for a while. Greg had I think Greg had something that looked like that for a for a stint
I don't remember exactly when that was or how long but I mean
I
I have convinced myself that if I needed to stop or wanted to stop I could but
I will also point out that the last time I was like not vaping. I was very irritable
Uh, how about this? Do you um vape every day? Oh, yeah, it's become like not even necessary
It yeah, definitely addiction levels, but it's more so the
My habits and daily routines are
Built in yeah in terms of just like the motion like for instance, I said I play games at my desk and I was a very easy thing
Yes, I have like a hand to mouth
Board and like you sometimes just eat I get it. Yeah, I if I'm at home and just chilling
I want a glass of scotch because it's like it feels like there's a hand and a mouth thing. Yeah
Yeah, so that has become the main problem of why I don't stop and when I've gone like, you know
Longer stints of not vaping it's like
The problems are all of my friends not all of my friends most of my friends do at this point. Yeah, primarily just like Brandon
and my brother-in-law
Everyone else doesn't vape anymore. So that's the way and maybe this doesn't apply to you, but
Obviously, you've seen my my fucking collection collection. It's it's impressive. So I
I like to drink Scott. I like drinking nice whiskey and stuff
And occasionally it'll be like a couple days in a row where it's like, hey man, you shouldn't have had that many
For that many days in a row and it's like, okay
I know I don't have a problem because it's like, okay, boom
I'm gonna not drink any for three days or five or whatever it is or like have a small amount and then like
Have the willpower to not have more
I maybe that doesn't apply to you but like that I would try to like do that occasionally
To make sure that I'm not
I do and the way out of control the way
I do is like certain people I just won't vape around like on the car right over here
I've a my car, but I don't have another people's car other people's houses or anything. Yeah, unless hey
Well, you can't vape in mine. That's that's fine. I have it's not like I'm joneson and like yeah
But like we don't have to stop the podcast for him to go take a smoke
Yeah, that's the thing and like when I went to japan
I brought my cigarettes in japan they do but the place we were staying like the section of the city was like
Smoke-free so you couldn't go outside. I just think you had to like go find specific rooms
Specific businesses. I think if I'm not mistaken. Don't they have outside
Designated smoking areas where people will like huddle up and like everyone smoking a cigarette there. Yeah, uh, so I had like
I brought my vape
Hold on terry for the two weeks. I was there like I just didn't shut the fuck up
You brought but didn't vape. Yes. So I was like, that's fine. I can work because you can fly with these
Yes, it you the limit is 100,000 milliamp hours
100,000
Is that's just battery limit
Total capacity. That's the read. That's the limitation. Yeah. Yeah, this is like 1300 milliamp hours
So it's not even close to like the capacity of the the FDA would say now you can't take it
I thought
For like portable batteries. Isn't it like?
That was like 27,000 milliamp hours
I'm pretty sure it's 100,000. I think carry on
There's a limit that's like closer to like 27,000 million powers. You I'm pretty sure when I flew internationally
I had to put this in my carry on. I couldn't leave it in my check bag
Okay, so like I had to fish it out of my luggage to put it in my backpack. Okay, and then
I just carry it and then you know not have it or I just let it at the bnb that we're staying at the whole time
All right. Yeah, so vaping is still like a thing and it's just certain flavors
They don't want like kids getting their hands on I think it's more so like the
All-in-one compacts, but that's also bullshit because like I could go to a vape shop and get the like those elf bar things
which an elf bar
Uh, an elf bar no elf bar. Yeah, that's that's what they're called. You know that um
The intern girl not doxing her what she would vape on
Oh
You're talking about like uh, what it is is like, uh, it's a disposable like one time use thing
Where you get like a thousand hits or some shit like that. Yeah
Something something to that effect. Yeah. Yeah, so I think uh, they're recharging. We were in florida. James bought something like this
Yeah, it was like blue or something. Yeah, it's just like it's a it's just like that
But it's just it's or it has the battery in it and you just it has a thousand and once it runs out once it runs out
Once it runs out, you just throw it away. Yeah, you can't refill the liquid
so like I take this off and I just like boom bup bup bup drop it up and then
Now I go yeah, but with those it's like you can charge them and recharge them
But once it's out of material and then you just fucking trash this shit. Okay, so but that's what I'm saying is like elf bar
You can just go to any store and buy these 18 plus
I think it's 21 now. Oh
Oh
Isn't tobacco 18 plus no, no, I think they raise it to 21
Really? Yeah, this was like a oh, I didn't know that
Oh, I just want you to know since there's a break in this conversation
I figured out how to get our shit onto youtube yo
Oh, you're right five years. It's been you had to be 21. Yeah, I did not know that
holy crap
Dude imagine you're like 17 and you like to smoke
And like you are about to turn 18 and then this should pass right before you turn 18. I'd be pissed
It wouldn't really stop people because oh exactly
Yeah, if you had a way before but if you're like I can almost this is almost more convenient for me
And you're gonna make it difficult for another three years. I mean, that's the whole point
Yeah, but I'd be pissed. I blame like I said one single person
Who had me buy him a vape back in high school? Yeah when I was 18 and in fact January one, okay
And uh, that was like my key. I was impressionable. All right. Hold on. So go on anything tobacco vapes. Yes, all that. Okay. Yeah
I just want you to know
I just figured out how to
get our podcast onto
YouTube podcasts or just youtube
podcast the podcast
Per form thing. Yeah. Yeah
I guess inside the rss feed they hide your email for privacy
You have to activate it so people can see your email. I did not know this wait stop
the within our within rss feed
There's a setting in there that says enable email in your my rss feed to protect your privacy and prevent spam
We hide your accounts email address from your rss feed by default
Yeah, I want to put it still rely on
Email addresses to verify ownership of the podcast. So if you unhide it does that mean every single app?
I'm gonna hide it now
But to verify to be on youtube you have to unhide it and then you can rehide it and then you rehide it
So people can't see that's fucking weird. Which I just realized that was a thing
Remember how I said it would take him 15 minutes to figure out these problems and that took him 15 minutes to figure out that problem
Actually took me a little bit longer, but yeah, you're not wrong. I mean I can
But the only downfall is like saying that it's private, but I don't want it to be private
Let's be
Public public
But it's uploading right now. So
All 125 episodes apparently have been uploaded
All 125 episodes apparently we have 125 episodes
Nice of visibility. Oh, we want it public
So you unhide it. We're good now and now you're rehiding it. Uh, I unhide it. Yep
Uh, I yeah, I let it be live to the world and now I'm hiding it again
I wonder why the fuck did like
Would it show up in like every podcast app? Like what does it mean to unhide it? I'm just curious
Um that the companies can say hey, it's not like visible in the apps for people listening
It's just to the company. It's just two companies
Got it. Got it. Got it. You are the actual I mean, do you guys have a business email that you can feel like?
I don't know a sponsor potentially. Yeah, we have an email that's like we dedicated. We do have a sponsor
It's called buy me a cup of coffee
It's just buy me a coffee, but oh, is it it's a buy me is it buy me a coffee? It is oh buy me a coffee
I mean, do you have that that business email address like on your description or anything like that?
So actually we do already we do have it the email
We do have it on our description. So it doesn't really matter. We've had it in our description like since the beginning
Yeah, so it doesn't really matter, but we do have a buy me a coffee for uh, there's no audience
Oh, wait, if you want to see that's a great point drew. What the fuck am I thinking? We literally
Put it out there on our own
Stupid, but yeah, or I'm stupid for not realizing that I mean, okay
So there could be two separate there could be like the account email as well as like here's the one that you
Find out where it's fucking stupid. We just have one, but you're right. That's that would be a good idea. So
I got like a fan facing one and I have
Slightly above average amounts of business sense, but that's about it. Hey man, you're doing better than we are
Yeah, we got 34 dollars on our patreon. Oh, yeah, brother. It's all yours. This month or total total
It's all yours one of our patreon subscribers
He's paying us is like banned from the account and I can't even access the channel anymore. How?
Wait, so he's like
He's stopped paying you money every month. No, no, no, no he can he can cancel at any point
but we haven't
been live since this all happened so he's still on the
He's still on the payroll for it and he's still paying us every single month the thing is
The funny thing about it like us going to now now just thinking about this going to youtube
We we do play some stuff that is like, you know
content that is copyrighted copyrighted and so we might get
Some flags
Again, well that was the whole thing that I where I was saying that's where you were against. I was saying I don't
I'm not going to stop playing music and copyrighted videos
Because in my opinion, that's the whole fun of a podcast
You just need to include the fair use act in your descriptions then
Because there is well there is guidelines that so fair use you can play like clips of like news feeds and like
Things like that, but I don't think you can play copyrighted music. Well, yes, I like to play copyrighted music
You haven't played any copyrighted music in any episode I've been on so
There's that
Oh
We can change that
Damn that was fast. You were very ready. I just have title open on my other tab is all
That was quick
Oh Terry I got I got some bangers for you by the way. Oh sweet deal. I like it send in to me. You have a title
Oh back to since we were talking about uh
Well, we're gonna go talk to about title, but I was doing some research about title and
Apple and Spotify Spotify sucks now. So it doesn't matter
Um, it's also expensive. I get it for free. That's fine. We've been over this
But I was also trying to figure out how can I like
Legitimately fake that I'm like a student or some shit you go to the university
I don't want to talk about this on this podcast. You can go think about this on your own time
Yeah, that's fine. I don't want to hear how you're thinking about scamming a company to get cheaper prices. Why not?
That's fucking good
That's fucking shitty to do this. So, no, it's not I mean they're they're what do you think tell me Terry?
How are you gonna scam a company to make them think you're like a student or something? I'll just get a
edu
Dot edu. Yeah, you're stupid
Anyways, I'll tell you a story about when Amazon Prime came out
I okay, we're gonna segue into this and I'll get back to my story
Go ahead when Amazon Prime came out when Amazon Prime first came out. I wanted Amazon Prime
And yeah, so what I did and it was free to students for the first year
I was a student when I first got it and I had like the free trial and then I had a discount for like so many years
Yeah, I don't really care about
Spotify because they don't have uh, if you're trying to find a way like do you pay for hulu?
No, I don't have any services besides apple tv plus, but I also just canceled it which I still have until october
This fucking guy live it. He's gonna become a nomad. He's gonna sell all his belongings
Live it up and no, it's just it's more it's the thing is like I don't watch that many shows and when I do
It takes me forever to watch them Mike knows
Mike knows that I don't like watching shows
like for me watching a show we we discussed this over the the podcast before and um
Like when I watch a show it has to be a weekly thing
It has to draw me in there because if it doesn't then I'm fucked
Because I can't binge watch it unless I'm really interested like when let's just say
I like I I watch stranger things
I can binge watch stranger things because you enjoy it because I enjoy it. I can binge watch expanse really fast
Like so what am I my theory is is like also with mics is that
Wait until the show comes out
Yeah, I'm I figured it out. What no no, that's not what I'm like. Um like
Uh like waiting till the show all the episodes come out then just
Buy it for a month and then binge watch it really fast and then cancel it
Okay
I don't know I uh, I mean I just canceled like
I just canceled my game pass subscription because that was a waste of what's game pass game pass just makes you play game
The games for free makes you play games xbox live and then you get access to like a bunch of games that you can install
And play but I wasn't playing any of the game. So I was paying like 20 bucks a month
For nothing. It's like a subscription instead of buying games. Yes
It's on a like on a box console. Yeah, think of like netflix, but for games
That's kind of the the main thing, uh, but it was on like my pc as well
But uh, I have an xbox that I turned on for the first time in a year
Uh yesterday, oh and then I realized the new one. No, no, it's xbox one. I bought it in 2017. I got an xbox one
um
Man what were we talking about before terry derailed with the music subscriptions and music and shit
Yeah, okay, uh before that
You derailed me. No, no, no, no, we're something there's something else that we were talking about before that
I think me and mike were females vaping
We're past it. We're taking lanes
Um
For a spotify you could like I said bundle it in if you wanted to that way you can work back again
I get it. I get it. You don't want it. We're back for your buck
And if you're like I said gonna go live the nomadic lifestyle the hashtag van life. No, no, no
No, no, I'm not living like a nomad. I'm just saying as in like for me it's
Um
It's not the
Like I I like music. I enjoy it
Spotify has really good features as in like it makes it gives you like a daily playlist depending on their they're really cute title
I get it
I get it and so does apple
Right. Okay. So why name that feature as being cool about spotify. I'm just saying as in like
Most of those companies have taken what spotify has done and put it into her own thing and then you get
it as in like title and
apple have
Like lossless and shit like that or high less high res lossless and
Spotify is still doing like
Basic basic
Stuff. Yes, because they understand that the average person a doesn't care about that or that's true doesn't have anything
That can even take advantage of it and true. That's why
We don't use it
Because we're not basic apple bitches
Right
Bringing it full as you're sitting here with your macbooks and your iphone and your and my apple watch and all that shit
um
but
No, so it's like
So I've been I've been doing some research and like I was thinking of
giving
Title a try since I already have music apple music. You are such a little shifty boy
Well, you know, I like hey, I like I want to tell you a story
I was probably about a year ago
Maybe nine months ago
Mm-hmm, and I still had Spotify at this time and I think Terry did too and he's like I'm thinking about trying apple music
And he did he switched. He's like, I know apple music is great. He was like, this is amazing
I love it. Like this works well. Everything's perfect. And then I had been thinking about changing the title for like
Three years and just never did because I was like never got around to it
I finally did because he switched to apple like oh it's time to switch try something new
I did I was like dude titles great
And but and Terry was like apples great
And now you're changing Terry. Um, just uh contemplating at the moment. Why? Um, because I I I do
like
Apple they they're it's getting better the algorithm and stuff like the listen the music that I listen to but the issue is it's like
I like the fact of
Uh, what sometimes uh with when I had Spotify you get these daily mixes or you get these daily
Weekly mixes you get weekly misses with joseph daily mixes mixes based on certain artists
Your your algorithm like you get you probably have like five daily mixes. Yeah, I'm pulling them right now
And then and then
With title you get a daily mix of 10 songs of different artists that you never heard of it's like a discovery thing
You actually get six mixes as well as the dj
yeah
So with with like with apple it does the same thing in a way, but instead of being 10 songs
Or whatever it may be it's
You just get a station that just plays off of your algorithm that what you've been listening to
Over the course of time like all the time all the time you can just click it and it just plays it
But I don't I don't really I I enjoy it, but I don't enjoy it. I like seeing like
What's there or whatnot I guess
But you don't like the whole radio station vibe. I don't like that vibe that pandora bullshit. Yeah, it's kind of weird
but also
I the pricing for
Uh apple music and title is the same. It's like 10 99
But they're all the same aren't they spot if I do spotify is more
Spotify is like 11 99 or some shit really? I it's like a dollar more. I have a family plan. So I don't know
I think I think I think they're all 10 99. No, I think no spotify went out
No spotify went up. That's why I was telling james that he should switch because
The pricing of it just went up again. Oh, yeah, I remember him saying that
uh
Spotify
You're not a spot if I love or you just have it because it's like convenient and like free or whatever
so I got spotify in my senior year of high school back in 2013
Because it was free and I was like, oh school like I can listen to whatever I want on my computer
So that was neat and then I
Later in life got
Unlimited data on my phone and that's when I started paying for spotify premium. So I could listen to music at work
and
Like I just don't use anything else because I don't have an iPhone. So apple music is literally worthless to me
title I had as a trial because uh, I do have like
A DAC an amp like studio grade monitors like at home
Like I have all the things that you would need. You're not just sitting at home listening to like high res title music
Yeah, all the time most of the music most of the time I'm listening to music is in my car with a shitty bluetooth
B shitty mixes on the speakers
C
Like shitty playing from spotify. So like and D my car is fucking loud as hell
Not like the engine but the road noise. So like it's gonna be bad anyway
So I just don't care enough for it. Fair enough. That's the big thing
Um
Spotify did go up by a dollar so title and
apple music is
1099 or spotify as 1199
But the issue with that is like
Obviously you get with spotify you get more features and stuff like that as curated towards you
Do you though? But you get you still get the
what you said before is that
um
Music people just want to listen to music and they want to and they're using it as in like
You can do it with your friends like you can listen to music with your friends real life. I got on title. I've got
I've got uh
Popular I got hold on I got a fuck ton of shit. That's fine new arrivals albums. You'll enjoy. Yeah. Yeah user playlists
You'll love yeah custom mixes one two three four five. That's fine
So just that albums daily discovery like I have all this shit. I get that so like every single company has recommended new tracks
Everybody has that thing
But you just said spotify has more features. They do like does does title have audiobooks
That you can listen to oh non music podcast non music non music stuff
Oh, yeah, I don't care about that spotify you can listen to your podcast. You can listen to audiobooks. You can listen to
I'm pretty sure you watch videos on there used to when Joe Rogan was on there
But yeah, it's a podcast you can have videos of the podcast
So in a way like that's what it's created towards what you're saying. You see what I'm saying
Non music things. Yes. Okay. Not music features and then
But then I was like, oh, I was I was gonna give
title a try but then I was like
Uh, it's kind of the same thing I already have with that
It's just in a different way. I just needed to be more proactive of using the ones that I actually do want
So I've just been using like discovering new music that way
um, but then also the cost factor as well
So with app music that I have within the subscription, there's more plans. You can see more plans
um
What so in
If you all have a iphone which we're basic bitches according to drew
Yeah, since we have iphone I learned today that drew has an iphone though. I he got an iphone
I forced not forced him. I suggested that he get one
But you had one for a while. Yeah, I was using until I got this. He has a 13 pro max 12
Oh my bad 12 pro max anyways, I like it because it's blue
Oh, yeah, because oh you got the blue the blue one. You got the blue 12 one. Yeah, what do we have? We have a 14
Oh, that's right. Oh, yeah, that blue year. That was a cool color. Yeah, I think I was
I had that phone you had that phone yet that I had a 12 pro in the blue. It's fucking sick. Yeah
I I use it as my webcam right now. The thing is it's great. Yeah, the thing is is that I'm like I
I'm debating off. I want the 16 I'll wait until the 17 because the 17 might be dope as fuck
I want to see I'm done with this lightning ship
the thing is that I might be waiting because
the
I guess the anyways
But if you go if you go into I'm getting the new one because I'm done with this bullshit
Yeah, I don't really want to see my phone. I might get the 16 so
It just depends. Oh, it's purple. I don't know what the color this year is but if you go
I hope it's mid green dude. If it is I'm buying it. If it's mint green I'm gonna know
I I love so if you know that like I'm gonna show you but the color. Yeah, I love mint green. Okay. All right
Delectable. All right, so if you are a basic bitch and have an iPhone you go to your settings and then you go to your name
Which is up in the top
And then you go down to subscriptions
If you have Apple music or any assistance, it's in there. Oh
shit
We just got copyrighted strike
Great what I can that can get your account banned very quick
Because you just
Just started uploading all the episodes that we have and it immediately gave up and immediately just came up with the media
What's the what's the YouTube panel man? Uh, there's no audience. It's a YouTube. It's in the podcast app, correct?
It's on YouTube. So it's getting uploaded right now
Um, right right here both YouTube and the YouTube podcast app. I would hope so two whole subscribers
Um, yeah, one of them is branded boom. You got three. Oh hell. Yeah, really?
But if you go to your subscriptions right here, you and you click on
Apple music or whatever you uh, mostly Apple music that we're talking about right now
If you click into it, it says see all plans
Not a lot of people know this
Oh, there's it's not just one thing click on see all plans and it tells you you can play
individually per year or you can pay per month or like family or whatever family per year
Or whatever and the student okay the individual per month is a hundred and nine dollars
After taxes per month. That's a hundred and nine dollars per
per year per year
$109. I'm sorry. It's a hundred nine dollars after taxes. It's like a hundred and
A nine and that's you're saying is a savings if you buy it per year if you buy it per year, it's a saving
And with if you do it with title
You pay the monthly
1099 which comes out to like 12 something a month. Okay
I'm saving more money. I'm saving like
30 like 20
Maybe a little bit more than 20 bucks a month. You said it's 110
Uh, 109 109
And then in taxes taxes in where we live is like 9.3
Are you listening to our forecast I am you're saving 20 bucks a year it puts a little visualizer on
Yeah, that's neat. Yeah. Um, oh, yeah, we've had we've had those on there for a while
Terry was hitting the button to upload if it was under two hours and that's how is there another like section that says podcast
No, not in the youtube app. It's in the music app. This channel has no podcast
Oh, it's they're uploading so they closed our account. They did. I don't know probably did
Um, but so like like what are you trying to get out here? Yes, there's annual plans. That's what companies do
They bank on you to spend the money and forget about the subscription. It's all the business. I know
It's all about subscription based model right now. Anyways, what I'm saying is I would move
two title
If I wasn't already saving money
And I'm already getting what you're saying is what you're saying is you paid for a whole year
Yeah, so you can't switch right now because you would waste a bunch of year that is the sunk cost fallacy
No, no, no, no, I already know I already agree with Drew, but the thing is no hear me out
I'm still getting the same thing as what I would have on title, which is
high res ballistic like that
Yeah
For cheaper and I'm not spending 20 bucks more a year
For that music if then if they if apple cancels the like
yearly subscription plan
For it
I might switch so what you're telling us is you might be interested in checking out title
But what you really care about is what's the cheapest service that gets me music in high quality?
That's what you care about fair enough. It's like totally get it. Yeah, that was a journey to get to that
I agree. We also said shorter. We also made it a journey to make it more, you know
Oh, you know, we're trying to elaborate for the people
Shut up the people buy me a coffee dude my uh, my image generation thing has like
I don't know what's going on with it, but
I tried it this morning and it keeps stalling out
Right before it finishes generating the image so terry. I don't know if I can get that sounds like that sounds like when I it's a problem
When you have a problem, do you have that problem? Do you have an intercourse?
The image doesn't generate like you get to the end, but you can't finish
That only the very first time
So
So I typed this in like twice and the first time it gave me three dudes sitting around a little round table
And this time it gave me three salt lamps instead of three dudes
and one guy
And one guy who looks like m&m in the background
But but uh, what were we uh
No, uh, what's his name the rat on
Uh
The rat
No, I thought you're gonna say uh splinter. Um, Ninja turtles. Yeah, uh, no, no, no, no, uh
The rat he was from uh
Your mom's house podcast I forgot what his name was
The rat. Yeah, they called him the rat. He had like glasses like he worked there. He worked there. Yeah
Yeah
They're like
Glasses. Yeah, like really thick glasses. Can't see he did. Oh, Josh Potter. Yeah, he wasn't like working there
He was like a guest all the time. Yeah, but Josh Potter has that issue where he can't climax
He has to do it himself
That doesn't sound like a problem. It doesn't sound like one
That sounds like a mindful lever in the bedroom. Oh, yeah, dude. We just got I don't know how you remember that guy
Based on the nickname the rat and not his actual name. I don't remember him being called the rat
Dude, we uh, yeah, we got some strikes already
Well, we got we got uh, uh, you get an email for every six oh, yeah, I've already given that for uh, uh video
For episode the 68 come on. That's a a nice material
We're getting uh copyrighted for oh blocked in one territory
As a result your video cannot longer be monetized as been blocked in one territory. Oh, Terry
This doesn't matter because we we're not monetized. That's not like we're yeah, you should go to your youtube creator studio
Yeah, and look at that. It will give you a more full list instead of looking at every single email
Yeah, it's all right. Did we just get a fuck ton of emails we I'm gonna get a fuck ton of emails now
um, but it's just like saying like
Like some this is we've been watching you move your sexy body
Parliament I don't I don't know what that is. I don't know
What any of this is is that like a song we played I guess
And then sweet a la la la song
sweat sweat la la la sweat la la and then is that a song?
I mean was this part of your video? Oh, thanks drew. Thanks for subscribing. Yeah, I got you man
And then episode 63 is also abandoned in a territory mask off feature
Yeah, that's it. We definitely we definitely the song is called sweat. Oh, yeah, we didn't oh, and then we played uh
Mo money mo problems by puff daddy in maze instrumental and then we played uh
Absolutely picking up on every single song we play. Oh, yeah, it's automated. It's not like there's someone going through every day
I know I know I know I got another one. We got another one boys
live coming in
Oh, we played uh the the way you make me feel by michael jackson and call me maybe by carly ray jepson. I remember that episode
Dude, this is like a nostalgic rehashing of the old episodes. I really want to tell you your account gets deleted
Oh, it's saying that we just can't get monetized. Isn't that saying we're gonna get deleted
Hey, it's just saying that so we can't make money off that video because just we're stupid
You have to make money through other means just for reference jet just for reference
um
We already had a bunch of our episodes on youtube and we already got
Like 50 of these
I can care less about this shit
And
This is what we expected I expected this when we just had no fucking I need to make a rule on here
So just go straight to the fucking trash can oh, yeah
Anyways, not it. You shouldn't do that. What throw it out there
Well, you should like have a folder with these at the very least a folder. I would have a folder of me getting blocked
Because they all come from the same email address
Yeah, so if I have the same email just go to the trash can
Then it goes to the trash can because it's not all just you getting blocked in countries
It's you know like other things if you're looking for the interaction portion of this is what it's saying
It's just saying our video is blocked. It's just saying this is not a copyright strike. It does not affect your channel
Is there any other emails that we'll get from youtube that we might not want just to go to the trash? Yes
Like that's what drew is saying. Yes. Oh, you're talking about like subscribers and shit. Oh, I see what you're saying
So I thought in my head I was like what drew is saying is so obvious to me
And I assumed you understood what he was saying and what I realized you didn't I was like, oh my god
Oh, no, no, no, I'm stupid brother
What time is it? All right, we're good
We gotta stop around like
Like 1250 or so my man's gotta go to work. You gotta go to work. You don't work today. No, I do know that's why I brought
I'm on are you still on flip from him? You're just going to the same schedule, so I have never well not never
But I have not changed my days of the week in a very long time. Okay, so I've been Sunday through Wednesday for like years now
So now Terry's back on your no way the back half so he works Wednesday through Saturday
Yeah, I thought you said
Oh
You were on his schedule Terry, but now you flip back to your old so when I when I first started
I get this shit fucking makes it fine when I first started as when I got my promotion. I was on
Front I was on front half his half, which is Sunday through Wednesday. Yep for a while
My goal was to go back to
Wednesday through Saturday back, which is back half because it's back half for the week right and
So the first couple months I was on
Front half and I thought though. I thought
you wanted
the schedule
That got you Saturdays off. There was a schedule that I was they were proposing
Don't look at me. I did not make this proposition to you. There was a all right. I told you this already
I know I know you don't say schedules. He can now I can yeah, but you know what I
Dude, I think anybody's friend's preferential treatment. Correct. I in fact have to be harder on terry because we are friends
So terry just lies say you don't want something and then he'll give it that the one
You just like tell him the opposite of what you want
That's that's not I don't want you to call me when you need help
shut the fuck up terry
Um, no, there was a proposal which was Tuesday through Friday
Anytime anybody says that to you at work just assume it's bullshit. Oh, yeah, it's 100% like I
I've been proposed those schedules many many many times the person the person that proposed it to me
I believed them until everything that was going on
Yeah, but I knew I but in the back. So when
They had to change all the schedules at our job. It would he was Tuesday through Friday and then what sun
Saturday through no the idea is that terry would be like an extra person. I'm just an extra person
I just fell in when it needs to be filled in. Well, the the thing is when people he fills holes
but that's not that's not a like a good strategy because
Everybody has to work at least one weekend day. Is that the idea? Yeah, okay
but here's the thing is is that
When someone says it to you
you obviously you're like, oh, that's cool, but
At the job that we work at you have to put it in the back of your mind when someone says that to you
It's never gonna happen
unless it's in paper and writing
Because everyone knows that the way to do it is if split up the weekend days
Well, not even that if it's just that there is so many moving parts
And if anybody leaves that core gear that runs everything falls and you have to oh, right
So like if drew said yeah, if drew came up to me and said hey, I'm gonna put you Tuesday through Friday
And I go
Oh, that's cool. I'm just taking in three weeks from now. You'd be back your old schedule. No, no
because I'm gonna want to quit well he could say like
Uh, you're gonna do this from the foreseeable future and then if he said that it was just a word to mouth
kind of deal
and then all of a sudden he goes
Uh, like next week it's like, uh, sorry, but you're gonna be doing this
I didn't have it in writing. So it's just like whatever
Yeah, so but if he goes up to me and says hey, this is your uh
Whatever schedule for this foreseeable future and then had it in writing and then we signed it and everything
Yeah, and then he goes next week and goes I need actually I need you to do this and I'd be like now if motherfucker
Here's the writing in paper
Blah blah blah blah blah, but our company is so fucking stupid anyways. Why would you ever trust just someone saying it?
Well, I would never there are there are certain people I do trust in what they do say at work
Because it always follows up with a paper thing afterwards
No, because I know who they are and I trust them because they I've known them for a very long time like I trust drew
If he says something to me, I believe
Uh, 95 percent of it. I am terrible at lying. So yeah, I am
Don't ever tell me secrets if you don't want other people to know
But even even hey, you've been doing a good one with mine. So yeah
It's because you explicitly told me not to say anything about it. It's true. So that's why I know even
I appreciate it, even if you have it in writing that your schedule is going to be blah, blah, blah
They can still change it back. Oh, yeah, because it's the company you work for so it doesn't matter. Oh, yeah
Yeah, I know.
It's like a...
But it's just like the...
I don't know, it's just a lot of bureaucracy.
For example, for reference,
basically in the branch that Terry and I work in,
we need four people in total.
That's really funny,
we're just talking about this in the fucking car.
Yeah, we need four people,
like Adam, bare minimum, to make it work.
There's someone who starts the day
and someone who ends the day,
and that's on either half the week.
So Sunday through Wednesday, Wednesday through Saturday.
One, two, three, four.
Terry, when he was talking about that extra shift,
would have been the fifth person in this equation.
So the reason they were telling him that
was because all of the core things
that needed to be filled were filled.
The thing that changed was my boss left,
I moved up, moved into his spot,
and then someone else who was filling one of the roles
also left and that she is now working nights,
so she left our branch of the company.
So all of those core pillars now needed to be filled,
and that's why Terry got dicked into one of those spots.
Yeah, so the Tuesday through Friday
only works if you have that foundation that does not change.
Correct, yeah.
So it is what it is.
I don't ever trust those things will happen
until they happen.
So the choices are front half or back half,
and in those two, to range the days,
you have the front half of those days
or the back of those days.
There's technically three shifts within the half of the week,
but realistically you only need two to work.
Okay.
If there was a sixth person in this equation,
it would be three per half, one person starting at 8 a.m.,
one person starting at 2 p.m.,
and then a third person who's the tertiary,
like coverage person starts at 9 a.m. as opposed to 8 a.m.,
and then that would be on both halves of the weeks.
That's the goal that we're trying to get to.
To always have the backup.
Yes, because I would love to not have to be there
for 12 hours every day,
which is currently what's happening.
12 hours, four days a week?
Yeah, I'm going to five days next week.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
But here's the kicker.
12 hour days though?
Maybe.
Unless Terry tells me to go home on Thursdays,
or sorry, Thursdays and Wednesdays.
I probably will.
I appreciated that when I was like,
you guys need anything and you said go home
and I was like, all right, I can go.
I want you to go home, dude.
I know how like,
like it is, dude.
This is our car ride over here every single time.
Man, I'm so grateful to have like a schedule
that I can like maintain consistency.
That's like,
okay, let's talk about some positives of the job for a second.
Let's flip the narrative.
Here's the thing is,
the positive about it in reality is that I can,
like if I go to work at, let's just say,
noon or whatever, and there's like four other managers.
Like if you go there today at noon and so like two.
Wednesday is a huge overlap day
with all the managers, okay?
Okay.
But if quote unquote,
if another shipper is running it,
it's because we alternate, I can leave early.
Do you get paid?
Yeah. I get paid every day.
Oh, okay.
Because we don't, we don't clock in at all
because we're exempt salary employees.
So in reality, I see.
I make more money.
There's a chance, there's a chance for that to happen.
Yeah.
But everybody wants to be the guy who gets to leave.
It alternates every single week.
Yeah. So it's like, so like say you're on,
you're on front half, I'm on back half.
And then it's a front.
So every other week you don't work that day?
No, you still come in,
but you get the option of leaving early if the other person,
so like, let's hear.
Your day is significantly easier.
Yeah, here, watch.
Okay. In shorter.
In shorter.
If he's front half, I'm back half.
So this kind of works out for us.
Let's just say next week, what's next week?
A front half or a back half week?
He has to have all this shit on his phone now.
Back half.
I would have to run.
So I would run.
So he,
I would be the main person running that day.
He tells the people what to do.
He writes the reports.
Yeah. I do everything.
My job on that day is then to help him.
Like if he needs someone to go grab a bunch of carts
off a trailer, that's what I do.
If you need someone to go like talk to someone
and deliver a write up, that's what I do.
Like all the tertiary,
secondary and tertiary items.
Oh, so every other week you kind of trade off
being like the support.
Yeah. So let's say,
I'm just going to use the reference of using.
I feel like what we're describing is doxing you guys
way more than any actual naming of things.
It's okay.
It doesn't really matter anymore.
But so, like let's say it's six o'clock
and it kind of like died down a little bit.
And he goes, can I go?
Like there's no point in,
and then usually two people would just,
usually you just go, yeah, you're fine.
You can go home.
I don't really need you anymore.
And then he gets to go home.
But he's only been there since noon.
So he only worked six hours.
Okay.
So there is a plus, but there's also the negative,
which we talked about, which is if it becomes busy,
you just do it.
I have to be there.
Like for instance, I'm running a different shift,
which I stay in so about 1230 at night.
If, let's just say that person that's supposed to be there,
technically they're supposed to be there at 1130.
But if they don't show up,
I have to stay until another manager shows up
from that a different shift that runs the night.
I have to wait until they show up.
So if no one shows up until like, let's just say two o'clock.
Do you guys both work at the late?
The two to 12?
He doesn't, but I do usually for now.
And so somehow I get a different.
What's the ideal?
The desired shift is 8am.
I feel 8am to what?
8am to 630.
So like a normal type of first shift deal.
Yeah, that's my goal or another shift,
which is nine to 730, which is fine too.
Oh, being that filled that extra person.
Well, you just, you run a different operation,
which is later in the day.
Yeah, so those are the two ideal.
So what's your current schedule?
As of right now, I'm a floating manager.
So I just fill in when.
But you're working Sunday through Wednesday,
or no, Wednesday through Saturday.
Okay, yeah.
You were working Sunday through Wednesday.
Correct.
And then you just switched to the other one.
Just switched, yeah.
Back to Wednesday through Saturday.
Yes.
And so right now I'm just covering for people.
Got it.
On that, on those days.
Well, my schedule is back half.
But if something happens on front half,
they will call me.
Which does happen.
Oh, it's happening this week actually.
Which they will call me and ask me,
is like, hey, can you come in and cover?
But if you don't get called,
you're working Wednesday through Saturday.
Correct.
Got it.
But you're the first guy on call.
For that other half.
But if they call me,
usually we can make an arrangement.
Yes.
Saying like, let's say.
Come in on Monday, take off Wednesday.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Just to give you my three days.
Yeah.
And like, I feel like we're trying,
we try to be very amicable about that.
Like, for instance,
I needed someone to come in on Sunday,
just because there were some issues.
And the person who came in,
came in at like 7 p.m. to midnight.
They were there for four hours,
but they got all of Wednesday off because of it.
Oh, okay.
Just for the inconvulnt.
Got it, got it, got it.
The thing is, since we're,
the salary are exempt,
we,
I don't even know where I was going with that.
That's why you can do all this.
That's why we can do all this.
Yep.
But in the normal steady state,
when things are fine, everyone's there.
It's going pretty normal.
It's like, your schedule is consistent.
I know that I'm gonna be working
Sunday through Wednesday.
The outliers are like,
oh, if Terry were to call me and say,
hey, can you come in?
He calls me and he jokes about it.
And I ask him, like, are you serious?
Like, need me to come in?
And he never fucking gives me a straight answer.
But if he said, yes, I need your help,
I would be there in 10 minutes.
There was a day yesterday,
or it was like a couple of days ago or whatever,
I called him because something happened
and I didn't know how to deal with it.
Yeah.
He helped me with it.
And I was like, hey man.
I told him my internet was out.
He's like, is the internet out?
I was like, could you help him on the phone
or does it have to be going in there?
For that specific instance, yes,
I could have helped him on the phone.
There's certain things where,
there's certain things I call him or call,
call him for, and I don't know how to deal with it.
But if he tells me where to go and do it,
I can do it in five minutes.
Yeah.
But there are also some other scenarios
where they just need bodies in the warehouse
to grab boxes and move them.
That moves, feels so good.
They need physical people to do physical things.
But he's never asked me for that.
He never calls me and says,
hey, I'm slammed right now.
Can you come in and help move some carts?
I don't like bothering people on their days out.
I don't either, but if you needed, I would be there.
I'm the kind of person who would be like,
I would just deal with it.
If I was busy with shit and had to move shit,
I'd be like, I just figure it out.
Oh yeah, I do the same thing.
Trust me, we all normally do,
and that's the whole thing,
is the company banks on people
who are just willing to get it done
and suffer through it.
There's capital in people's ability
to not respect themselves and ask for help.
Absolutely.
And that's the company culture and the mindset.
It's like, oh, we gotta improve every day.
It's still our first day.
Right, right, right, right, right.
It's stupid.
The thing was, so that thing that you saw on...
Your binder, your fucking note pad thing.
They make you go to, which we talked about earlier,
when I went to...
You told me about all your classes and shit.
Shit like that.
To teach you about all the culture.
It's like every day is the first day,
or some shit like it's always day one.
It's always day one.
Always put your best impression forward.
Nope, it's always day one,
which means that you're always trying to figure things out,
always trying to innovate,
and always trying to improve upon what you don't already know.
Yeah.
I've been there for a while.
I've drank too late.
But maybe I just have that mindset.
What most people do.
Like that's how I...
That's why I'm good at my job.
It's because that's how I think,
even though I don't need to.
That's how I think that's how I got to...
Well, even with Drew.
That's how I got to my position.
Because as what I was before,
which was just like an assistant, essentially.
Like I already did...
Area or like managers.
I almost said that, but it doesn't matter.
Like managers' job already.
I just never took the next step into doing it,
because I knew what every manager goes through
when they step up.
And now you know.
Now I know, but I can deal with it.
But there's certain aspects that I don't want to deal with
that I have to deal with.
Is there a sense that they respect people who...
No, they don't care.
Well, no, you didn't let me finish.
I know.
No, I want to hear this.
Let me just shut up.
Shut the fuck up there.
Is there a sense in which they respect people
who clearly have shown that they are...
I don't know if not more mentally capable as a human,
but they know more about the operation
and therefore they're more...
They're harder to...
Like if we lost that person, be a bigger hit.
Or do they respect that if that person shows that?
Or do they just say the best thing for us
is just to grind everybody down
and get the most we can, no matter what.
And we'll just deal with it if they leave.
I say it's a little bit of both.
So they will use and abuse everybody to the fullest extent.
Like maximum efficiency, obviously.
And then the people who know what they're doing
pick up the slack of the people who don't
with more responsibility.
Welcome to every company in here.
Exactly.
We literally just don't do that.
Yes, I know.
I deal with that every day.
And it's not necessarily...
I'm the guy.
Well, like...
Like my boss at one point,
when I was in that assistant to the manager position...
Assistant to the regional manager.
The office, anybody?
100 freaking percent.
He once told me, like, don't ever get trained in something.
Because what that means is you get called
and you get required to be the person to do that.
Hey.
And I didn't believe him.
100 freaking percent.
Yeah.
This is another thing you're describing
that is also universal.
Oh, yeah.
100 percent.
Everything you're saying, I know all about it.
You have to be very careful about taking on more
responsibility and learning more stuff
because I know that once you do that, now you're the guy.
Yes.
I learned that very quickly because...
Like Terry, for instance, for the shift that he is on,
he knows how to run.
Not a lot of people know how to run that shift.
So the reason he's the go-to guy is that literally
no one else can do it.
And that's why we have to start with him
and then figure something else out afterward.
So...
If...
What?
What is it?
Are you muted?
I was like, what?
I was like, why can't I hear that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was muted.
Oh.
Do you use this Sharpie pen often?
It was on your desk.
I just jacked it.
Yeah, I know it's in my desk.
I'm not really.
Okay, cool.
Do you like taking it with you or something?
No.
Yes, yeah, he's gonna steal it.
No, no, no, I'm just using it for like when I write notes.
When I take notes.
Are you leaving that stuff here?
I'm leaving this here.
The notebook and the pen?
Yeah, because this is your pen, this is my notebook.
No, it's fine.
I just...
I feel like I should be with you with the notepad.
Yeah, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine.
You haven't wrote shit down this whole time.
I just want to be a part of the team, bro.
But on the flip side of that, it's like, okay, yes, that's true.
But if Terry goes, yeah, I'm the guy who knows,
but I'm gonna say sorry, no, I'm not doing it today.
When they call it.
He does, like this week, he had something going on.
Like I called him and he's like, hey, I can't.
I'm like on the other side of the water.
And I was like, all right, cool.
Thanks, man.
I appreciate it that you just said no.
And then we just move on.
Oh yeah.
What drives me up the fucking wall is when people just don't respond.
Like I don't care if you say no, just tell me no.
Oh yeah, they just try to avoid the conversation.
So that's Sunday.
That's Sunday, I think, because we podcasted on the water.
I went to a baseball game and Drew calls me when I'm on the ferry.
You go into the baseball game and he goes,
hey man, something happened.
Can you come in and cover?
And he's like, if you do, I'll give you Wednesday off
and I was just like, I can't, man.
I've been drinking.
And he goes, oh, yeah.
He goes, oh, OK, never mind.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was just very straightforward.
Already been drinking and literally on the way away from the.
Yeah.
So but here's my here's my counter to that in a situation where
theoretically Terry says, I am at home and totally
available to come in today.
But I'm not going to because I don't want to.
Then I'll say, OK, move on.
OK.
Like I'm not I will never force him to come in on his off day
because that's his weekend.
Like I have been very disrespected on my time and my like mental and everything.
So I'm never going to tell him you have to unless it's like a literal on his on
the time like plan during the company.
You know, like there's a business need portion of it.
But I'm never going to say like on your off days, you have to come in unless it's like
the busy times years like last week.
P day.
And then, you know, how'd that go?
It was fine.
I mean, it was fine for me.
Terry seemed to have a really bad time.
Simply because of a bunch of other factors.
Let's just put it like that.
Last week sucked, right?
100 freaking percent.
Yeah, my week, my my two weeks of time was actually not that bad.
There was like it was busy, but it wasn't like as much of a shit show as his was,
which is hilarious.
Well, here's the thing is.
I guess we they're very oust yourself for a room when now we haven't yet.
Oh, that last week.
So I called it P day.
That's fine.
Yeah, it's fine.
I don't have it.
I don't have the subscription and I didn't buy anything.
Dude, you're not going to buy anything.
I didn't buy anything.
I contributed to not look at it.
Dude, I looked at it and I was like, oh, there's like there was something that I.
Wanted.
Well, I it's like a energy like BCAA stuff that your that was like amino acid stuff.
But I looked at it and I was like, oh, it's like it's usually $24.
It was like 15 bucks.
I was like, oh, and I click on it and I go nice.
And then it goes, do you have a subscription?
I was like, well, I guess I'm not buying anything.
Wait, can you only buy stuff on that special sale?
If you have the subscription?
Yes, that's the whole point.
Oh, which I didn't realize until then.
Normal, though, you can just make a normal order.
Yeah, I mean, it's not like they will stop you.
It's just that if you want those prices, the deals, got it.
Got it.
That makes sense.
No glass today, huh?
Dude, that was terrible.
You hit the mic like twice.
I hit the mic all the time.
What I really wanted to do was like, I really wanted to like, you know, have it point down.
Yeah.
I just.
That's what you're supposed to do.
You do it.
The pop, the pop of the can was way better on that one.
But it's slurping.
It's because you can't hear.
It's a dynamic.
I know, but if you brought it back up right after you did it, it's a little tight.
Yeah, I would have needed like a second.
But yeah, that's, but it's because I've done this before.
Like I've all my stream, like all of my notifications are me like cracking beers.
And I like, I self recorded all of them, dude, and they're all unique.
I would say hear me out.
I, uh, okay.
To from my week when P day happened, I like how we are still talking about this.
It's fine.
It's something to talk about when P day happened.
It's usually during the middle of the week.
It's two days.
It's like Monday, Tuesday.
No, Tuesday, Tuesday, Wednesday, fulfilling the orders for like days after that.
It's Tuesday, Wednesday.
Yeah.
But I work on the back half of the week.
So all that, all that volume that comes in, I have to fucking deal with where he had like
a normal day.
So yeah, it's like the Tuesday of the sale.
Obviously we're not going to get stuff that day.
And then we did see it on Wednesday, but it wasn't as bad as like the bulk majority of
everyone.
Everyone waits till the end.
Yeah.
No, no, no, no.
It's just product coming from out of state or, but also people tend like
wait till like the end of Wednesday to order.
No, no, no.
It's only two days.
So within those two days, you have that window to order.
I know, but I'm saying like, maybe the bulk of customers pick the later end of the thing to do the order.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
The they push it a lot with like hourly things.
Yeah.
Instant gratification and constantly changing things.
So like, yeah.
But like my week was a shit show because
like we got, we got the volume and whatnot sometimes.
And so like late product would show up and then we would have to do it, but it would be like
3k, 5k.
But you got to realize that people are already doing
like extra hours, hours.
It's called mandatory extra.
Oh, yeah.
You didn't need to say that.
It's all right.
It's mandatory.
I don't give a shit.
Everyone's an overtime.
And like the expectation is everyone, everyone knows.
The company, you know, you know, in the days are, you know, in your brain.
Yeah.
So there's like some flip sides to that where the company can force you that is part of your contract is that,
Oh, during these times, you're going to have to work extra hours.
That's why like we get it.
We understand like, Oh,
we're going to change the, we're going to change everybody's schedules during these times to accommodate the extra help.
You know, going in way ahead of time, you're not a victim because it's like, you know what the deal is.
We like, I mean, you talk to some of the associates and feel like they're a victim.
Oh, yeah.
But it's like a very clear thing.
We hired specifically for this and people are like, Oh my God, I can't believe it.
Like it was an extra day.
Like, yeah, yeah, there is.
Sorry.
Like it is what it is.
Most, most new like people that I get, they get hired on.
Don't like a seasoned person knows what's happening.
Right.
A person that has been there for like three or four months is going to be like, Oh, I didn't know this was going to happen.
If someone that's hella new is like, they don't tell you when they are you.
Fuck no.
Why not?
Because it's not the norm.
It's like there's the baseline of what everything is like, say we get like 50,000 packages a day.
That's like the common thing.
We plan for that and then we flex up when there is more higher increased demand.
So that we we're not planning for the higher demand and wasting all those hours.
Normally we're planning normally and then figuring out a way to make those extra hours.
Just appear basically.
It's stupid.
Yeah.
But I don't understand why you you could just tell us what's going on.
It's stupid. Yeah, but I don't understand why you you could just tell the people say, Hey, we okay.
FYI when you when you come on these at this time of the year.
Yes, I mean, it definitely comes up.
But like, how do you explain the feeling of it?
How do you explain like, Hey, just so you know, you're going to be working 12 hours a day, five days a week.
Like if during this time, you're going to be on your feet more, you're going to see twice as many boxes per day.
And you're going to be expected to go just as fast.
Oh, it's your second week.
All that sucks, dude.
Like second week of that in a row.
No, no, second week of their entire career.
We just use.
Yeah, we're going to use you as like, you're a new hire here.
Well, again, again, when a person accepts a job, if you explain the situation and they say, Great, and hire.
We don't do the hiring.
Okay, but if the person doing the hiring, it's as easy as just telling the person when they do the hiring.
We don't see the people.
We don't hire.
We don't see anybody.
They don't even know when in our building does hiring.
It's all done in like another point.
My point is presumably somebody does that.
Yeah.
And they know what the deal is.
And they could just tell them.
Oh, they don't know.
It's not like they do the interviews.
They think like they're pumping through like thousands of people.
The idea is that you need to get them processed so that they can like get on boarded.
You can't just tell them that one.
Hey, the person, the idea does this thing two days every year.
Remember the idea.
Four days, actually.
Four days?
Yeah, there's one in October, too.
There's always one.
Nowadays, yeah.
Now they do two days in the summer and two days later.
I forgot.
And the one in October is like a pre-Black Friday thing.
Yeah, yeah.
To like gauge the interest.
Right.
And to, you know, test supply lines.
Sure.
But the thing is, it's like, yeah, those new hires that come in, they don't know about it.
The thing is that what they're trying to do is convince you that they're trying to trick you.
Yes.
That's insane.
Essentially, that's what they're doing.
Well, you can't use me as an example because I'm too smart to be fucking idiot.
That doesn't matter though.
What are you going to do about it?
Yeah, I'm going to go in with my eyes open.
Okay.
I'm going to make the decision knowing what the expectation is.
He's going to live day one.
Or I'm going to not join.
No, I'm saying I would go in knowing that was the expectation.
Mm-hmm.
And if I was willing to do that, I would say, yes, I want to work here.
And if I was unwilling to do that, I would say, sorry, this job ain't for me.
Yeah.
And you know, people do that.
There are plenty of people who don't even make it to their first lunch place.
It's very simple.
Yeah.
But you know what?
It's still the people who show up, then they make it, you know, go through training and
some people just need the job.
And that's kind of the big thing is like, if you don't have a choice, you have to suffer.
And like, what are you going to do about it?
The company will take advantage of it.
Yeah.
They will make sure that everybody is, you know, still meeting their quotas, meeting
their expectations, hitting those benchmark rates, all that stuff.
But does it really, does it really matter for someone who needs the job to like, you
know, feed their kids?
You know, it's a great, I agree with you.
My point is that person in that situation, they still have agency.
It is still a choice for them.
It's always a choice for everybody.
So when it comes time for you to do that extra work, you still have the ability to know that
going up.
And like a lot of our seasoned people know what it's like during the busier times a
year and they will save their time off the kind that we can't deny.
So they will use their time.
They will find ways to not be there as much and they will make it work.
Oh, during the busy times.
Yes.
A newer person who started like, you know, a month ago.
Yeah, you know, a month ago does not have that amount of time.
Or if someone at the beginning of the year gets hired, like what's to say January, like
the first of the year, they get that time that they accrue until the, you know, the middle
of June or something like that.
July 1st.
But they're using that time throughout those six months.
To take days off.
Correct.
Not to take that time off where they're just like, I don't want to be here right now.
I'm just going to take the time off.
But they don't understand that that time doesn't accrue after July 1st.
So let's just say you get 30 hours.
Oh, you accrue time off the first half of the year.
Yes.
So like if you get 40 hours of PTO throughout the year, you will accrue 40 hours over the
course of six months.
And then the back half of the year, you don't accrue.
Correct.
And then again, the next front half, the next year, you accrue.
Yeah.
Correct.
So like some people would just start taking the time.
Again, again, it's all in the written thing.
It is.
It's in the handbook.
There's no, I don't have any sympathy.
But if you're new, if you're new, you don't know that.
So you're going to, you're going to.
You fucking should.
That's my point.
Yes.
If we get that.
But a lot of people.
Any fucking person who signs up for a job.
But you don't.
Should understand how everything works.
Most hires that come in that are not you.
Yes.
But the thing is, is that they're like 18 year olds, 20 year olds.
Yeah.
22 year olds.
Good.
Make them suffer.
No sympathy.
But they don't.
So they start taking that time and they by the end of July or whatever, or by the time
that where it starts to get really busy, they have like maybe five hours and they can't.
They're like, I can't take it.
So they just go.
They do they let people who are smart enough to save their time off take those days off?
Yeah.
100%.
People do it every fucking day.
Trust me, when I was an assistant, I got paid by the hour and I accrued that time.
You took those days off?
I'm smart enough to know.
Like before I got promoted, I had like 60 hours of PTO that I was banking because I knew
when certain things were happening throughout the whole year, especially on the later half
of the year, I knew that if I put PTO in on a certain day that I didn't want to come in,
I knew that they can't deny it.
Yeah.
And I could if I accrue all the way up to let's just say quote unquote 80 hours that I can do,
I can take two weeks off.
No questions asked.
But the bigger thing probably is to take like one or two days off here there as like a break type of
deal.
Yeah.
Okay.
This all seems very normal to me.
It is normal.
That's the thing.
If you're a smart person and it is normal, but some people don't understand the fact of that.
And that's their problem.
It's hard to explain to someone on their first day when they're getting dumped on with like
hours upon hours of information to slip in like, hey guys, just you know, the attendance policy
is this, the amount you accrue is this based on your staffing and your shift code.
If you work this many hours, you get this many minutes per day.
You work this many hours, you work this more minutes per day.
Make sure you don't use that though.
And we're not going to tell them the secrets.
Like, trust me, if someone comes up and says I'm having problems with my attendance,
I will tell them how to work around the system because it's not hard.
Same.
Like for instance, if you are going to be 15 minutes late or sorry, if you're going to be,
let's just say six minutes late, you can clock in up to five minutes late.
No penalties.
Six minutes you have.
That's the time.
Yeah.
Yeah. The way it works though is that that time always rounds up to the next 15 minute interval.
It used to be an hour.
Yes.
So if you were one extra minute late beyond the grace period, you lost an hour.
You lost an hour no matter what.
So and if that bank of time drops down to zero, you would get fired.
So they changed that and now you accrue them more consistently as well as you use them more
consistently.
So whenever someone was like seven minutes late or something like that and they were about to
lose that hour, I would say just put it in seven minutes of PTO, seven minutes of sick time.
Like because paid for that seven minutes to not lose the other time because they're hourly
and you can do that.
Yeah.
For us, we like for anybody that's a manager and above, we don't clock in.
So like if I'm if I'm, let's just say I go to work at I have to go to work later at two.
If I'm 10 minutes late, technically I should put in time.
But this is really nothing.
It's just a number now.
But it's literally just yeah, I'm just okay.
I mean, this is all normal stuff.
It's like no, no, no, we can do it.
When you're in a adult, hey, man, I expect you to be at work on time every day forever.
That's just the expectation.
Exactly.
I get it.
It's like, I know you do.
But I just want I'm just telling the people
who are like, preach the people, please preach.
If you are the kind of person who this is a shock to you.
You shouldn't be here.
You're not an adult.
You can't work.
I'm sorry.
The world.
This is the world.
Oh, yeah.
Adults.
This is how adults are.
I just want you to know within the culture of where we work, you would not survive.
I people don't like the hard reality.
People don't like people.
People don't like the hard.
Why wouldn't I survive?
People don't like what like you said to me, like if you were my boss and you said that to me,
I would completely understand that.
And I knew that wasn't because of like you criticized me.
You have to harsh.
So I would be like fired for being harsh.
You told that to like a regular associate.
If you did.
A regular person.
I can bleep that out, but it doesn't matter.
If you told that to a regular person, they would like probably get put a complaint for me harassing them or something.
Yeah.
And then you'd get investigated by like.
So in our culture, you're saying that's that's too aggressive.
Not that I couldn't like handle at the company.
Yes, you would hang.
You would hang, but you'd have to like change your tone.
You would have to change it.
So like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm totally good at like,
like, let's practice.
I'm very professional at work.
Let's practice.
I'm not like that.
Oh, I believe it.
I believe it.
We get that.
But what's practices?
I'm running late all the time.
You're running late all the time.
I'm running late all the time.
And then you have to tell me about my attendance.
How many days in a row can you be late or days total?
Let's just say, let's just say I'm about to be habitually late as long as you don't go negative.
Okay, let's just say I'm at I have one, I have one hour left.
You have to tell me about you have one hour left of being late.
If you it's called unpaid time off.
Oh, so once you run out of that unpaid time, once you hit bank, once you hit negative into
this negative, then that's around for it's grounds for termination.
Yeah.
So I'm at one, but I've been I've been late.
You're at one.
You have one more hour of being late until you're fired.
Yeah, but I've been.
Yeah, you have to tell him flat tire away from being fired.
Yeah.
Oh, let's say I'm like, say you know that I'm one minute late.
I have one.
I have one minute or one hour or whatever.
Okay.
And how would you go about I'm coming to work.
I'm coming to work.
But then let's say my tire does pop and I can't come to work, but it's going to take
me like two hours to get to work.
But I need to work that day.
Okay.
And I come in still, but now I'm in the negative.
Now you have to explain to me.
What the fuck's calling me?
Oh, shit.
I would say what is it you get paid to do exactly?
That's what I would say.
I would I think what I would in reality what I would be is I would be like
probably I would and maybe you're going to be like laugh at this, but I would start with
trying to be like constructive and like a mentor in a way to a person.
And then like when they walk in the door late, I would like meet them at the door and like,
Hey man, how's it going?
Like hope everything's doing okay.
Like all this kind of stuff.
Maybe I would try that and maybe you're going to tell me that's like frivolous and would
be no good because they just are all slackers.
But I feel like I would I would start there and try to like make a relationship with the person.
So there's the concept of assume positive intent.
Yeah.
And I would maybe be like, Hey, can I help you out?
Like is it would fight tire like whatever it is, like try to understand the situation.
I mean, yeah, that's definitely the right thing you should do.
What are you going to do?
I would start there for sure.
What if you have like 100 people who are on shift that day?
How are you going to manage that with 100 people like that?
Yeah.
Well, not like that in that situation.
No, but I mean, you have 100 people who could be in that situation.
Yeah.
Like at my most I had like 107 direct reports.
Oh.
Oh, yeah, it was terrible.
Holy shit.
You obviously can't talk to everybody.
You can't develop a relationship.
You can try.
I didn't realize that.
I thought it was like a 10 person team or something.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah, that's not going to work.
Yeah.
So how do you balance all that?
His team is like the one that we work on now, very small in comparison, the one that like,
you know, does the core of everything.
Yeah.
Pretty large.
Okay.
So what he was trying to get at is like, how do you talk to someone and tell them,
hey, you're in danger of being fired right now and not sound like an asshole about it.
I guess you just say, I just, you say it like that.
Hey, man, like I don't want this to be to go this way, but this is just a reality and I'm
just letting you know.
Yeah.
And I have no control over it.
Like this is how it's going to happen.
I really hope you make the right decision and just move on.
Yeah.
I mean, that's probably what you have to do.
I mean, the key thing for us is like, we are there to let people know where they're at.
You're not there to do any.
No, you're there to literally convey the policy.
Yeah.
I'm just there to talk and say, here's where you're at.
Here's where you could be.
You know, like if they have questions, I'm happy to help them.
I know all the ways to work around the system.
Right.
A lot of them know it better than I do because they do.
We have a.
That's how they survive.
Yeah.
There's, there's other parts of it.
I'm not going to go into detail on that one, but
there's just so many people who are like on the brink of being fired,
but then on the flip side of that, there are some people who are so far negative
that it's ridiculous.
They even still have a job and then you like don't feel sympathy for them.
It's up to the discretion.
Even if you're beyond the limit, they can still keep you if they just want to keep you.
Yeah.
So Terry and I don't have the ability to fire anybody.
They don't just automatically let go of people and they get past that.
It used to be the case, but
staffing has become such an issue that now they don't do that.
So basically like there's that line of positive and negative, right?
As long as you get above that line by the next pay period,
which is the end of the week, you're good.
So there's.
You can dig yourself out.
Yeah.
Um, most as long as you're not like more than two hours negative,
you can usually work your way back just because you get a certain number per day.
By being on time.
Just being scheduled and showing up for your shift on time.
Not even necessarily on time.
It's the craziest thing.
So, uh, there's a lot of people who will play that game of I'm going to go negative on these
days, show up late, but then, you know, work my way back up before the end of the week to
be positive by like three minutes and then go back negative the next week.
And it's like insane because they just fluctuate between like not having a job and having a job.
And those are the people that I worry about.
Cause I like, I don't know how to help them.
I can't convey this.
Right.
As you mentioned, they're just not being a fucking adult and taking care of themselves.
They're just like, in my opinion, being incredibly responsible, but I can't tell them that.
Yeah.
All I can say is, Hey, do you know that you're at three minutes right now?
And they're like, yes, yes, I do.
Yeah.
And they're like, so many of them are like blatantly aware and they're like, all right,
cool, whatever.
And they just, you know, there's opportunities to make it work.
And it's just a matter of like, how do they do it?
Yeah, I don't, I just don't have, obviously I don't have that mentality.
I treat my job like with the respect I think it deserves because that's how you survive in the world.
Yeah, pretty much.
I mean, you work a corporate job.
So that makes sense.
So I can't, I can't understand that mindset.
Yeah.
But you're also not the kind of person who would probably be working for us.
That's a great point.
And that probably tells the whole story.
I'm not a manager.
Oh, that's not my skill set.
Yeah.
And that's totally fine.
So I would not, I don't want to be a manager.
I would not be a manager.
That's not for me.
And it sounds like that's kind of what you have to be at where you work to like make it worth doing.
If I were to get out of the branch of the company that I'm in into like a more corporate facing job,
not a people manager, like an individual contributor, as I say.
Right.
Yeah.
Right.
I don't want to get into that.
Right.
That's just what I would like to do.
I would like to just do something that's a little bit more detached and I'm waiting for that to be the case.
I'm, I kind of like take on responsibility of leading stuff.
Just because that's like how I roll.
Yeah.
But I do not want to cross over that line where it's like now this is your gig.
I'll do it in a formal way and I'll be like all that shit fine, but yeah, I mean I
Didn't necessarily want it for the longest time, but I
Had a certain point I was like damn I got it. I got to either move up and move out kind of thing
I know that that's
Not always the best case, but you know I I don't mind my job at this point
I'm getting stressed out on every single day, but that's just because I don't know what I'm doing
You don't know what you're doing. Oh fuck. No, dude like because you just took over that new thing
Yes, and I like have an idea and I'm like working through everything
but I don't have the intrinsic just knowledge of like
Unanswered every question. Yeah, and it's not like I'm getting training either
Figure it out situation. Yeah, they they like I'm in the role and now
My co-worker is gone. So I have no like support in that regard
And then on top of that like I have a training thing that I'm supposed to do like what he was doing
You know going in wherever doing all the traveling
I have that but in like a different concept to where I just have to like watch videos
Well, I'm working, but I just haven't had fucking time to do sounds like exactly what my company does nice
they don't think ahead to
be proactive and like put a person as kind of like a mint like a
What's the word in not interned but a trainer? No, what's the word?
You've got like a craftsman and apprentice. Okay, like that's what I wanted to say
You have like you put them into like an apprentice role where they're kind of like shadowing but kind of doing the role
To learn and then then transition into it. They do the flip where it's like oh shit the person's gone
You have to do it now. It's like what the fuck. Yeah
That's not the stable healthy way to run. Oh hell no dude. It's a train people. Yeah, it'll it'll burn people out so fast. Yeah, and
I'm I'm the prime candidate because I don't respect my own time
Yeah, I don't respect myself as a worker. So I'm just like I'll just do the job like I'll figure it out
I'll do whatever I'll put in the hours. I don't really care my disdain for the job has never been higher than my disdain for looking for a job. Oh
Yeah, so I I may hate it and there's been times when I've like
Wanted to quit but I'm really bad at finding a new job. That's not what's not fun. It fucking sucks
You whether you're good at it or not. Yeah, yeah, and I don't they don't have like a marketable
I have a marketable skill set, but I don't have a way to market myself like the way I put it
It's selling yourself. No. Yeah, my resume is not impressive
I don't have a degree so people immediately write me off because of that and like I don't know
Yeah, it's hard to explain to people your ability and stuff if you don't have like all the little things that check boxes
Yeah, you kind of have to sit
You're gonna have to be at that job and show them
Yeah, and if you have to show a new person it takes time to convince them and all that stuff correct
I don't know how I will lend a job that is comparable to what I'm doing right now
unless I either a stay in the company or be like
Someone reaches out to me. I will say if we're looking at like LinkedIn and all that bullshit
Um
Since I posted like oh, I got this new new role
I've got a lot more connections people are like wanting to talk to me more. So that's been kind of other companies and stuff
Yeah
Granted I've been reached out to like twice by other companies one of them. I had the interview and I did that and
They were like, oh, yeah, are you interested? I'm like
No, not really the pay is exactly the same. I would have to move and I have to be work
I'd have to go work like a shittier shift basically
And then the other one was I went to the interview the first question
They asked was when did you graduate from college?
And I said I didn't actually graduate like ooh remind that and just enter the interview like two minutes later
Why is that not in the?
The list of things that you would have known ahead of time. I don't know it's stupid of like I have it on my my resume of like
Went to school back. Yeah, I'm back
Went to school. Oh, yeah, I think about it. Yeah, I guess I should put like did not graduate or something
But no, I don't you shouldn't have to do that
You should put what you if I were you I would put the last thing that you finished
Yeah, if you graduate high school boom what yes if you finish it to your degree boom what year if you didn't like
Don't say I went to like college and didn't get a degree either. You did or you didn't either got to your degree
You didn't either you moved up to the four year didn't like that's in my opinion. I've always looked at it is
The
Some some school is better than no school company. So that that's why I put it on there
It's like I didn't just like graduate from high school and then call it good, right?
I did you know went through the application process to what was in university for some amount of time
But yeah, but I don't think it matters personally as I don't think it should yeah as I'm feel like I'm doing pretty well
Who graduate college are mostly fucking idiots. So I'm with you on that one
I just don't know that people perceive it that way. Yeah, stupid. Yeah, I agree. I agree with that. I mean I
Agree people that go to college like my my good friend my good friend Mike over here
I'm a fucking hey
Hey, I'm a fucking boss-ass baller bitch at every job I ever work and it ain't because I got a college degree
It's cuz I'm a motherfucker. Here's the thing I
Stay safe. Hey Terry shout it to me. They shout to you
Oh
By the way, if you go to buy me a coffee which we have I'll link it down in the description if you
Give us
I'm working on it. If you do that, we'll give you a shout out. So shout out to you
Yeah, of course we'll shout out people. That should be a given. Yeah, we do that on course every absolutely
You gotta incentivize something. Yeah, it's value for value you support us and we'll recognize the value you sent us
but no
Like Mike. Oh, yeah, Mike. Oh, yeah, Mike went to school
You want to shout out shout out to college shout out to you
He went to college, but I call him my
smartest dumbest friend I know
because
Yeah, he he is smarts. He has smarts in certain things, but he's
Not the brightest person when it comes to certain things. I don't know what it is
It just has to be in the moment because he does some stupid ass shit and I'm like dude
It's really easy. It's like right here, but I know that he doesn't know that but
But it's kind of like the the software devs
Who can code like, you know full programs that will solve any any kind of anything like people who make apps
But then they don't know how to like change a tire on the car or make a meal. Yeah. Yes that kind of stuff
This is not just me. This is everybody
Everybody has their things that they know how to do but like I I think you're smart even though you went to you didn't finish college
I still think you're smart, but you're also dumb. Oh, I'm a fucking idiot. Like I didn't think I'm so stupid
I like I I didn't I just have a high school diploma. That's it. I'm I'm smart in certain ways barely, but I'm dumb as hell
You're dumb as hell in the traditional dumbest house
I
Mean that with all the love
I'm not like like for instance, I'm sorry to put you on blast. It's like oh fuck
No, no, no, I mean he knows it so it's fine. I guess
Like he's not good with social cues
Not saying not saying that's me too. I'm so sure. Yeah
Absolutely, that's nothing to be ashamed of a lot of people are socially retarded like
Feel like that word is coming back with it like everything like a really like a resurgent right now
I have noticed more people say it recently
But if if if this is a world that we live in where you can't say retarded
I don't want to live in that world. I don't mind people saying it
Well, it's like I didn't since that work someone said that and I since like I'm in that
I'm we can stop talking about work after this but like someone said that to me like it was a
like
What do you what did we already say what they were an employee? Yeah
An employee and then they said I I don't really like using that word so
They said the R word and I'm like, please don't say that around me like you saying you said that I have to say it
Oh because there's other people around and then if I if I go here you go
Oh, that's how the funny Merriam Webster dictionary retarded adjective it under the first under the first definition
It it says upfront dated now offensive. That's fucking stupid either it means something or it doesn't I hate this shit
Where we just stop saying words does it have a purpose to explain something it does then
Whether you like it or not it exists cancer culture, dude
affected by intellectual disability intellectually disabled
Note the term retarded is increasingly considered offensive. The use of intellectually disabled is not preferred over retarded
So retarded means intellectually disabled, but you can say intellectual disabled but not retarded the concept is like weaponized words
Say for instance
Do you know what the Spanish word for black is
You don't need to say it
It's not I think I do but it's not I don't think it's offensive is it negro. Yeah, yeah
Anyway, uh exactly
So it's not that inherently just because it's Spanish is it like a bad thing
But it's the context in which it was used that makes it a bad thing. Oh
Oh, how was it the context in which think of think of any amount of racism
There's one word that Terry just said but there's the other word and they're kind of
Interchangeably, oh, yeah, I
Agree so country the same way to
What what country pretty much but you don't know that oh Niger Niger
No, the other one that's longer
There's longer. There's a longer one. Yeah. Oh my god. Do not get into this anyway. There's a longer one
Yeah, the concept is that
The content Africa that words words do change and it's it's the sense of when they're used in the context
I'm actually used in what makes them but offensive. Yeah, so like so when I say Terry's retarded
I mean he's intellectual intellectually disabled true. It's not in a targeted way, but there is
a
Do you know the difference between subjective and objective?
Absolutely, okay
Objective usage there would be yes as you're saying he's a fucking idiot. Yeah
The subjective implications though are that you know, it's like other things it means more than just he's stupid
Yeah, it's subjective to the person hearing it. Yes, and that's on them and they got a deal with that, you know, there's nothing
Stop
Relax like what that thing do there there's something to be said about like, you know people just understanding
But there's something to be said about like sympathy for those who you know have problems with things like I get it
Don't get me don't get me wrong
Which is why I'm absolutely sympathetic and wouldn't use that word in that context because of exactly what you're saying. Mm-hmm, but
But
Terry's not that and he's my friend so I can call him retarded. That's fine
I don't take offense to it. So that's which is why I know that it's safe
But the thing is it's like I I can be
in a way like
But I'm not but like we're him and I work is like if
Everyone's gonna say the R word at work. Well, we have people that do we do yeah, but I can't I can't go like you say it to me
Like say you're you're retarded
But I would laugh every time that you say to me I know but at work if I laugh someone can take that as me
Accepting it and being like saying it's okay, and then someone can go you can go like around and saying oh
Terry's thinks it's okay for to say the R word which is exactly what happened to Terry which exactly happened
I mean and more context on that my sister. She's a teacher. She works in special education
Where that is thrown out as like an insult very consistently to the kids that she works with
So she is like a very like
Has a very strong stance against using it just nonchalantly because you know she has problems. Yeah, she witnesses it
So like with that in mind
It's now something that it has like exited my lexicon of words that I use
So right right kind of like train yourself not to say because yeah, I got that too
Yeah, yeah, I went I said I know what you're gonna write. It's okay. I know I can call it right now
I just no no no. I'm good. I want to keep going. I love it. I wish I could go starving
Anyways continue the point is don't say it folks. I'm sorry. I repent
But Terry is retarded
Like how we labeled any titles are now. Yeah, I think you should I think you said I think one of them
It says you said the R word
Okay, but like or you use the R word, but it's nothing like too offensive like I mean I I'm not saying
Oh
Dude, we've been copy-striked in a lot of places. Yeah, we didn't we didn't use it. I
Mean, I'm searching it. Yeah, sorry. We're gonna say drew
It's different for every people the concept is that you know
Civilizations evolve and words that are commonly accepted or not. It's not like we're speaking in old English like Shakespeare
He old he hole in fact our language has changed so much that if you try to read like old English type stuff
It doesn't make sense because of how things have oh, yeah
So read concept is that founding documents to this country. It's like what the fuck that they mean. Yeah, so like
Language changes and you know things that are commonly accepted or not commonly accepted at a certain point and so on so forth
Blame the people who use any word in like a derogatory sense that make it bad for everyone one person ruins it for everyone
Yeah, thank you for attending my Ted talk. No, I agree fair enough. Thank you for attending my talk
I'm not here to sway you. I'm just here to enlighten. I think I agree with you. I again
I'm very I'm very sensitive to this would not use that word to somebody. I don't think you I don't think you would exactly
Yeah, yeah, and that's that's I the thing about me is I just I refuse to be told what I can and can't say and
So while I am absolutely understanding and of the situation and totally respect that and absolutely abide by it at the same time
I'm not gonna give up my ability to say anything. Yeah, that's fair in certain other situations
So I'm that's I think that's a seat at us. That's a reasonable take in my opinion. I would agree
All right, Terry, what you got?
I think we covered a lot of things here. I think I don't the wheeler talked about work for an hour. Yeah, I mean
Like this is not just it's for all aspects of work like anywhere you work these things are going to happen
People in reality where there's people you said we gave a TED talk. We really just gave a TED talk
It was a there's no audience slash right on podcast Ted talk
Look at you Terry look at you we do we do more collaborations with there's no audience than we do with you know you being on
The right on podcast Mike. I think I've only been invited one time what you said no
Oh
Oh hundred percent but
Maybe
But yeah, you're right. You're right. I'm just saying as like I
Got a when you guys are recording
Like for a while like regularly. I think it was like Terry would come over here and do Sunday morning
And then it'd be like Sunday late and it's like I'm not gonna do that because I work work how early on Monday
Yeah, I mean Sunday night just worked out for us
And now it doesn't yeah
Yeah
Part salt on that fucking wound it pains me I
Like to what we had going but it was not sustainable for my own mental psyche to have to do everything by myself
Let me let me let me
Defend yourself no no
Yeah, cuz I get that I wouldn't want to do that because we kind of tag team this it's like we come down to down record
It's not recording. He starts messing with the audio and uploading and I'm like writing the description and getting a title and lately
They've been trying to get artwork figured out and she liked that so yeah
So for me it'd be like come home set up the stream
Get all the tags set up get all the titles set up get all the uploads
Do all the uploads outside of Sundays to make like extra content so that people could see it manage all the channels
Do you know respond to the comments? Whatever and then we don't do all that shit?
Yeah, I mean there is that I mean that that is a difference. Yes, but I just wanted to be
diversified I got you. Yeah
Yeah
Anyway, I'm trying to move these fucking things. Thank you for having me. Yeah dog. Oh, no, we're not ending yet
I don't believe you. I'm starving
Mr. I gotta go to work here soon. All right. Yeah, I mean I got it's good for your teeth bags of black beans
E liquid hashtag van life, which one do you want bag of black beans?
I like bag of black bag beans. Okay
Yeah, that's what I think I think in a way obviously we didn't cover anything funny
At all which is a good one for our podcast. We can play the race video next time
You can play it now if you want. No, just send it to you
Gonna end on it. We can we can end on it, but what I would say is that guy on YouTube
Uh
His name is Scott Taylor
Scott Taylor. Yeah
Shout out to you. Have fun
But we
Yes on here as in we drew an eye
We we should start
the pod again
Come back bigger and you guys should make the pod great again
Make the mate made it make it great
Make a great again make our podcast great again
Moppa
Instead of Margaret Moppa Moppa
They caught it. I know that I know that you we're going to make our pod great again
We're gonna do it folks. I
Know that your schedule this is like I feel like I'm doing like a proposal here
Like I'm getting on one knee like I'm like
Like asking you to marry me or something. It's just the guy
But yes, we should start doing it again for the people and for your sake and I think you can
We can be better at doing this Terry sounds like so I'll tear for you. Hey Terry. I'm Drew. Yeah talk is cheap
I
Was gonna say he sounds like a boyfriend who just cheated on his girlfriend
Hey, they haven't posted the newest one on YouTube, yeah, it's usually on Instagram
Yeah, it's they have the British one, but not the newest one
Wait, it's only it's mostly on Instagram. It's pretty. Is that the one? No, the newest one is the Hungarian ring
Oh, yeah, so they don't have that one yet they only have British I have the Hungarian ring one then it's me. Okay, come어랑
Hold on hold on hold on
And we're waiting
We're waiting dead air to there. Did somebody talk somebody did it did it?
did Minna out to send us to a message
Why because it won't let me do it a different way
Why?
Way.
Wait, this is just not giving way.
Wait, so if you guys can be late to work,
why don't you guys just be late to work?
If you're solid.
Oh, you're adults, that's right, never mind.
Yeah, there's that.
But secondarily speaking,
like me being above Terry in terms of the rankings,
if it's a problem and a habitual problem,
what I can do is-
We had one.
We had a problem like that.
And if I can just look at every single time
he badges into the building.
And I can say-
I can do that.
Figure your shit out.
And you can get fired for that.
So while there's not an official clock in, it's still-
Like, if you can do your job and make up for it,
it's not a big deal.
But if you are habitually late
and you are habitually a problem, then yeah.
Download it and send it to me.
I can't access Instagram.
Okay, hold on, give me, we're doing it live folks.
Anyway, unrelated to all of this-
Moral of the story being adult, go ahead.
So I was playing Halo with Rob last night.
Oh hell yeah, Infinity.
Infinity?
No, we were playing MCC.
Okay.
And we were gonna get through,
we were gonna play the campaign together,
like co-op campaign.
Like Halo 1, 2, 3?
Yeah, he was in Halo 1.
And he was like, oh, I'm in the middle of the campaign.
Do you wanna join me?
I'm like, oh yeah, so we get in a lobby together.
And he's on Xbox, I'm on my PC.
And we were about to start
and he took like 45 minutes to problem solve.
And then he started it and the audio was shitty.
So he canceled the stream and then,
took another hour and a half
to figure out a bunch of stuff.
We get it, everything figured out.
Audio is levels good.
He hits go live, we're ready.
It's been two hours that I've been sitting in this lobby
just waiting to play.
He clicks play.
We cannot do cross platform.
Streaming?
Just playing the game together.
Oh, I was gonna say,
I was gonna ask you when you said PC and Xbox,
like wait, you can do that?
Well, yeah, there's cross play,
but just not in the campaign.
You can play online together on different platforms.
We could play multiplayer together.
We could do like custom games.
So we ended up just playing like firefight.
It was fun, but it wasn't like,
I would have enjoyed playing the campaign with it.
But after two fucking hours of just sitting there.
That was something like the most fun I had
was playing a campaign with another person, like local.
Yeah, that was like the jam.
It was gonna be great.
And then while I was doing that,
one of my party tricks is I know how to solve a Rubik's cube.
How fast are you?
He's 50.
Under a minute.
That's pretty good.
Yeah, I got 52 seconds the other day.
Oh, did you?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
So I was like, I was just solving my cube.
I ended up solving it like, I don't know,
like 17 times or something while I was waiting.
And then I just got bored and stopped.
But I was looking up like speed cubes
because we got in this conversation of,
the largest cube I have is a seven by seven.
And he was like, how does that work?
Like blah, blah, blah.
They hit bigger.
I'm like, no, there's like a physical problem
whenever you have larger than that.
So.
Wait, seven squares?
Yeah.
Isn't it normally three or four?
Three.
Oh, I didn't know they did big ones.
Oh yeah.
The largest one I could find commercially available
was 21 by 21.
How do you do that?
Oh, you barely move it.
Oh, that's fucked up.
You have to be cognizant.
Like one of the guys on the reviews is like,
yeah, it took me 13.3 hours to solve.
Cause it's just so hard to move shit around too.
Yeah.
Very large.
Costs 1500 bucks.
But you can do a normal one in 15 minutes.
52 seconds.
That's what I meant to say.
Yeah.
15 minutes, nevermind.
It's fast enough that people are engaged
the whole time I'm solving it.
Okay.
So.
He got me involved.
I was like looking at it.
You know, I was looking up cubes and I found this website
and I saw a link for like a Bluetooth AI cube.
I'm like, what the fuck is this?
So I looked it up and you, you connected to your phone
and you can like race other people
who have Bluetooth Rubik's cubes.
That's pretty dope.
A circled one.
That's kind of a fire title.
The circled one looking up cubes.
I kind of like that.
It doesn't beat bags of black beans,
but it is kind of fire.
Yeah.
So I was thinking about picking up a Bluetooth Rubik's cube.
Do it.
It's like 30 bucks.
Not that expensive.
No, it's an expensive part.
So say that again.
It does what it connects to your phone for what reason?
It connects to your phone.
And then you have an app I'm pretty sure.
And then you play against other people
to solve it faster than them.
Got it.
Yeah.
So there's like magnets that say,
here's where how the orientation of it is every time.
People figure way to cheat.
I mean, you like them.
You do it pretty fast.
People figure way to cheat.
There's people that could do it in like 13 seconds.
No, the five or something under six seconds.
Yeah.
It's insane.
I don't know how people do that.
I'll show you a video.
Yeah.
Let's we got to end soon.
You play this.
I'll look it up.
I have a video right here.
You can speed record solving for Rubik's cube.
Here you go.
Seven years ago.
I mean, that's not the most up to date one.
But I mean, this is what we're talking about.
Yeah.
That's what I mean.
I'm not that fast.
No, I know.
I'm saying like that right there.
The cube speed cubers go hit the head.
Play the F1 video.
Let's send it out.
The head to head.
We can do this next time, Terry.
Oh, OK.
Just take it.
Remember.
All right.
Here we go.
British Grand Prix summary.
And then we're going to end.
Wait, this is British, right?
No, this is fucking Hungarian.
That's right.
Dumbass.

Yeah.
Yeah, Terry.
Nana Oscar Piestre.
All right.
Nana Oscar Piestre.
First step and flying now.
And Randall Norris does one as big cruising.
And parents don't all ride.
Was it enough for him to stay alive?

That's what Landon did.
Yeah, fire.
All right, let's get out of here.

I'm not going to work with you.
You could.
Fuck no.
You don't want it?
No.
OK.
Goodbye.
Bye-bye.
