256 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:37,360 Okay. 257 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:38,880 And it's not between Cartman and the divers? 258 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:45,320 No, it's between the lead construction foreman and the head chef. 259 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,320 Oh. 260 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,320 Yeah. 261 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,080 I don't know if they're still together, but as of the ending of that documentary, they 262 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,080 were. 263 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,080 All right. 264 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:59,720 I love a good randomly interjected love story. 265 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:04,400 So what having, because you've never traveled for work, right? 266 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:05,400 No. 267 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:10,040 What do you think the big differences are between traveling for work versus traveling 268 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,040 for fun? 269 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:16,000 So I was actually having a conversation about this the other day with a friend of mine who 270 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,640 is in Austin for work. 271 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:24,080 And you get to be in a place when you're there for work, you get to be in a place, but you 272 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,040 don't really get to enjoy that place. 273 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:33,280 Because a lot of times I think that, again, anecdotally, that you're just kind of always 274 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,160 moving because you're there for a purpose. 275 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,000 And so you have to spend all of your time just trying to go from kind of one thing to 276 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:46,360 the next instead of being able to actually enjoy the area around you and all of the kind 277 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:47,360 of new things. 278 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:54,680 You're just bouncing from one activity to another to try to be as productive as possible. 279 00:13:54,680 --> 00:14:00,960 Yeah, I think I get pretty lucky with my schedule because I'm there for an extended period of 280 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:01,960 time. 281 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,720 I'm there for right now, two weeks at a time. 282 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,960 So I go out with my list of work that needs to be done and I'm able to spread it out over 283 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,960 those full two weeks. 284 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:17,800 And so that gives me a lot of downtime to do things that I wouldn't otherwise have been 285 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,360 able to do. 286 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:26,320 There's a lot of historical things, which I love, that I've been able to check out and 287 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,760 gotten a free ride there, free hotel, meals are paid for and all that stuff. 288 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:37,040 So all I have to do is set aside the time to actually go do this stuff. 289 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:42,000 There's been a couple of times where I felt a little, I lost my appreciation for it. 290 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:49,320 If you travel a lot, then it takes all the excitement out of it and it just becomes just 291 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,760 a routine. 292 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:56,680 And so even if you're somewhere new, like when was the last time this happened? 293 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,440 Probably Philly. 294 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:04,460 The first time I went, I was excited to go to the Liberty Bell. 295 00:15:04,460 --> 00:15:08,940 Whenever I got there, Independence Hall was already closed, so I wasn't able to go there. 296 00:15:08,940 --> 00:15:12,440 But then the second time, I wanted to make it a point to get to Independence Hall and 297 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,680 see where they sign the Declaration of Independence and all that stuff. 298 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,320 And I put it off. 299 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,720 I just kept putting it off. 300 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,440 And it was like maybe two days before I started, I headed back where I was like, I have to 301 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,440 do this. 302 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:32,000 And I don't really know why, other than the fact that it's a beating to do, especially 303 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:38,520 when you're in a big truck that you have to find parking for on the street and all this 304 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:39,520 other stuff. 305 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:45,160 And there's a lot of walking and any kind of big tourist area, you're going to run into 306 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,000 a lot of people. 307 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:53,520 And so I'm glad that I finally motivated myself to go do it at the end because it was great. 308 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,120 It was amazing. 309 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,020 But I feel like that's happening more and more. 310 00:15:59,020 --> 00:16:03,320 And I don't want that to happen, which is why I want to try to start making efforts 311 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,480 to have trips for... 312 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,480 Just for your own kind of personal growth. 313 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,160 Yeah, just for myself and not on the clock. 314 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:18,600 I mean, it's great being paid to get there and to not have to rent a car, not have to 315 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,080 get a hotel room, not have to worry about food. 316 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:26,640 But it also, the longer you do it, the more you realize that you were there for a job 317 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,520 and that you have to do all this work. 318 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,880 And then the rest of the stuff just puts on the back burner until all of a sudden it's 319 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,800 time you got to head back. 320 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,040 So I definitely think there's pros and cons to both of them. 321 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:48,840 I think traveling for work extensively makes you less likely to want to travel other times. 322 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:54,640 But this year I want to make a concerted effort to do more traveling outside of work. 323 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,920 Do you have any kind of specific destinations in mind? 324 00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,360 Not particularly. 325 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,080 I don't really want to fly anywhere. 326 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:09,080 So anywhere I go, it would probably have to be driving. 327 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:15,800 Being in the lower central United States, there's plenty of stuff, but a lot of the 328 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,160 stuff is stuff that I've already done. 329 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,160 Like I've been... 330 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,160 Like the Alamo kind of stuff? 331 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:30,040 Yeah, I've been around a lot of places in Florida, Boston, Philly. 332 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:36,440 One place I haven't been is Chicago, which I'm not sure that it's worth the hype. 333 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,680 There's a chance that I could be sent there for work. 334 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,080 So I think I might just wait to see if that happens. 335 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:46,120 I don't think I'm going to make any plans on my own to go to Chicago. 336 00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:54,640 Another thing that comes with this is that when you're there for work, then you aren't 337 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,820 just seeing what they want you to see. 338 00:17:56,820 --> 00:18:01,140 You're seeing everything outside of all the tourist spots. 339 00:18:01,140 --> 00:18:05,800 You're seeing all the nitty-gritty of all these places. 340 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,960 Does that kind of ruin the magic? 341 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:08,960 Oh yeah. 342 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:09,960 Yeah. 343 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:16,660 If you are in San Francisco or Oakland, you go to the... 344 00:18:16,660 --> 00:18:23,960 My suggestion for you would be to plan on driving through San Francisco, either be going 345 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:30,240 up to Sacramento or go down to maybe San Jose. 346 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:36,960 That's a little nicer of an area or just keep shooting down south the coast or yeah. 347 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:43,520 Just follow the coast down and you'll start hitting LA and all the super touristy stuff. 348 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:50,360 I went to LA a couple of years ago and it was fun. 349 00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:56,840 It was cool to do the Walk of Fame and Universal Studios and all that kind of stuff. 350 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,360 I think that was a one and done. 351 00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:01,560 I don't know that I'd necessarily want to go back. 352 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,000 I'd like to see the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. 353 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,800 It's real cool. 354 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,440 Honestly, that's one of the few things I'd like to do. 355 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,620 That and the Chinese theater with all the handprints and stuff. 356 00:19:13,620 --> 00:19:19,360 One thing I didn't realize when I went to Hollywood Forever is that you hear about these 357 00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:25,720 huge celebrity cemeteries, but there's so many of them. 358 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:33,480 If you hear about a famous grave and you hear that it's at one of these big cemeteries, 359 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,720 it could be 45 minutes away. 360 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,840 The Hollywood Forever, I don't remember. 361 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,000 I think there's multiple ones. 362 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:52,160 The one I went to has a gigantic mausoleum to Judy Garland that I got in there too late 363 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:53,720 to actually go see. 364 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,440 I was able to see it through the gates. 365 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,840 A bust where Burt Reynolds is buried. 366 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:14,720 A big bust with him with his mustache and his smoking and bandit hat. 367 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:22,600 Trevor Moore, who was there, I think that was maybe a year and a half to two years after 368 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,160 he died. 369 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:32,240 He literally just had a little plot that just had a little stake in the ground that said 370 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:33,240 Trevor Moore. 371 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,000 There was some stuff that people had left, but he didn't have an actual headstone or 372 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,000 anything like that. 373 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,000 Cecil B. DeMille. 374 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:45,320 I'm honestly pretty surprised that Trevor Moore is in Hollywood Forever. 375 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:51,240 I don't know that I have a concept of what gets you into a cemetery like that, because 376 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,760 the ones that you always hear about whenever you think of that is the giant mausoleum to 377 00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:02,040 Judy Garland or the Ramones whole statue. 378 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,640 That was at this one too. 379 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,480 Or the Marilyn Monroe one where everyone kisses the grave. 380 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,040 Right next to Helena Hutchins. 381 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:17,320 Helena Hutchins, the woman that was no longer living due to the actions of Alec Baldwin. 382 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,360 She's right next to Joey Ramone. 383 00:21:20,360 --> 00:21:22,000 And Chris Cornell. 384 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,840 All three of them right there. 385 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:35,960 But I think one thing that you notice whenever you go to one of these famous cemeteries is 386 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,760 that yeah, they have all these celebrities, these names you're going to recognize, but 387 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,680 there's also just people. 388 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,280 There's also just regular people there. 389 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:53,600 I don't want to know how much they spent to be there, but there's just families there 390 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,720 and names that you wouldn't recognize, names that you have no clue who they are. 391 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:04,040 Do you think that they're just non-film industry people or are they just behind the scenes, 392 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:09,960 not necessarily celebrities, but big producers or directors or whatever? 393 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,680 They might be related to people within the film industry. 394 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:20,160 It's almost impossible to throw a stone in LA and not hit somebody that has some connection 395 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,800 to film or TV. 396 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,040 But it's honestly not as expensive as I thought it would be. 397 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:32,880 To get buried in Hollywood forever, the prices range from $18,000 to $240,000. 398 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:33,880 $240,000? 399 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,240 The $18,000 is not as expensive as I thought it would be. 400 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,440 The $240,000 is very much what I thought it would be. 401 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:45,840 What's a normal plot in a regular cemetery? 402 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:51,480 I haven't looked into it because I'm going to do the earth-plodding thing and be cremated. 403 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:58,280 You're going to get turned into a tree scattered on the haunted mansion ride or pirates? 404 00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:59,280 No. 405 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:05,560 I'm going to have myself put in an urn and then all three of my children will have to 406 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:13,320 do a custody agreement and they'll have to trade me off every six months. 407 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,080 They'll have to figure out who gets me for Christmas. 408 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,080 Nice change of pace. 409 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,600 Could they just put you in three separate urns? 410 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:23,600 No. 411 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:28,280 Spelt you into thirds in a King Solomon kind of way? 412 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:29,640 No. 413 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,960 What if one of them just gets wiener? 414 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,800 I have to be all together. 415 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,000 Would you want to be separated? 416 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,600 Yeah. 417 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:48,760 I'm going to be cremated and thrown off of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. 418 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,360 So they have to shut the whole thing down? 419 00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:51,360 Correct. 420 00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:53,360 Who's going to do that? 421 00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:54,360 Wow. 422 00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:55,360 All right. 423 00:23:55,360 --> 00:23:59,200 I mean, I haven't heard a formal request yet. 424 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,640 So this is all news to me. 425 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,280 This is a contest as to who lives longer, I guess. 426 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,760 I guess so. 427 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:16,360 Jake Johnson took some of his dad's ashes and dumped them on a Wrigley field on the 428 00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:21,200 pitcher's mound. 429 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,200 I have a love-hate relationship with a lot of the things that they do to memorialize 430 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,200 people when they've been cremated. 431 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,600 I, on one hand, really like the idea of jewelry because you get to keep that person with you 432 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:39,800 forever, but it's also so creepy that I have a ring that's made of my mom. 433 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,400 Or a locket of hair? 434 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,200 Okay, we'll not do that. 435 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,960 I would like the- 436 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,960 A tooth? 437 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:48,960 Horrifying. 438 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,200 Should I pick out 32 people that all have to take one of my teeth? 439 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,600 Yes. 440 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,120 Absolutely. 441 00:24:56,120 --> 00:25:01,720 Something sounds more like you're going to haunt a person than they received one of your 442 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,680 teeth upon your death. 443 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,520 Would you want a front tooth, a canine, a molar? 444 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:08,520 I want a canine. 445 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:09,520 Okay. 446 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,520 Well, I'll mark you down. 447 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,240 I just have to find 31 more recipients. 448 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:21,520 Just send them out to random addresses. 449 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:22,520 I can do that, yeah. 450 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:27,080 I can make a whole like lore thing behind it. 451 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,000 That seems on brand for you. 452 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,840 You could be one of the great internet mysteries. 453 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,400 This tooth once belonged to me, now it belongs to you. 454 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,200 Take it in good health. 455 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,000 Or do like a flat Stanley. 456 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:46,520 Just have people take pictures of the places they take my teeth. 457 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:51,080 God, this is already taking a hell of a turn. 458 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:55,520 No, I'm calling it Pirates of the Caribbean ride. 459 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,520 I'm going to shut that thing down. 460 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:58,520 Okay. 461 00:25:58,520 --> 00:25:59,520 All right. 462 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,240 Interesting you go with Pirates of the Caribbean and not Haunted Mansion. 463 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,320 Is that too on the nose? 464 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,400 The reason that people throw their ashes off of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride is because 465 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,440 there's water or something, right? 466 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,960 I don't think it's based on the actual ride or anything like that. 467 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:14,960 Oh. 468 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,880 I don't know. 469 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:21,960 I think the one that like is known in Disney as the place where people scatter their loved 470 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,040 ones ashes is Pirates of the Caribbean. 471 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:33,400 Do you ever get splashed in the face by the water at Pirates of the Caribbean? 472 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,680 I don't think so. 473 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:41,800 Would your great grandma be inadvertently committing assault against somebody? 474 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,440 Because some of her particulate hits someone in the eyeball? 475 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,120 How often do they change the water in a ride like that? 476 00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:51,520 I can't imagine that it's very often. 477 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:56,600 You know, I wonder, I don't even know how to look this up. 478 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,200 How many cremated people have been spread in Disney World? 479 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,960 Well, I mean, there's no way to look it up. 480 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,560 I'm sure they have like some rough estimate. 481 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:12,600 Because for every five they caught, there's a hundred they didn't. 482 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:17,200 Well, then I want to know what they're like confirmed is, because I feel like we could 483 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,200 make an educated guess on how many there actually are. 484 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,200 Yeah. 485 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,440 Yeah, I guess so. 486 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,560 So I guess they would have to be caught on camera dumping something into the water. 487 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,320 I don't know. 488 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,720 So I mean, no one's ever died at Disney, hypothetically. 489 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,320 That's a lie. 490 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:37,920 Oh, absolutely it is. 491 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,120 That's a lie. 492 00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:43,720 But no one's died at Disney, but there are still people that I'm sure very much haunt 493 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,720 Disney World because they've been spread there. 494 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,760 Yeah, yeah, maybe. 495 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:50,760 Maybe. 496 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,640 Do you think Walt's ghost is there? 497 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,520 No, because I don't think he has a ghost. 498 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,160 He's frozen in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride until they have a. 499 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,600 No, that's a joke that I don't want to make on this. 500 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,600 Until I have a what? 501 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,480 I'm going to make a joke for Judy. 502 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:15,000 Oh, my Lanta. 503 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,000 That one's getting cut out. 504 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,000 Whoa. 505 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,000 OK. 506 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:24,800 I guess we won't be getting sponsored by Moana three. 507 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:31,240 Yeah, that's the sponsor that you want is Moana three. 508 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:32,240 I don't know. 509 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,360 I mean, what Disney sponsor would you want? 510 00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:40,600 Toy Story 19. 511 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,120 What is Toy Story 19? 512 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,280 Do you think his walker is alive? 513 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,360 Those poor tennis balls. 514 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:48,360 Maybe. 515 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:54,520 No, it's just Andy's great grandkids forcing him into a home. 516 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,800 I swear I saw him move. 517 00:28:58,800 --> 00:28:59,800 OK, Grandpa. 518 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:04,120 OK, you're going to stay here now and we're going to leave. 519 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,920 Where's my Woody? 520 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,920 Grandpa, we had to take those pills away. 521 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:16,680 OK, you are being irresponsible with them. 522 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:22,320 From everything that I've heard, that is the entire point of getting put in a home. 523 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,320 Yeah, probably. 524 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:34,440 Just out of sight, out of mind until you die and we get all your cougarans. 525 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,480 What the hell is a cougaran? 526 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,480 Some fancy coin. 527 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,560 It's worth a lot of money. 528 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:42,560 I couldn't tell you. 529 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,960 I thought it was just a different word for tchotchke. 530 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,440 No, no, it's an actual thing. 531 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:56,800 It's pretty valuable. 532 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:03,000 So if you die, you are going to spread your teeth instead of your ashes. 533 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,000 That's the final verdict. 534 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,640 I'm going to spread my teeth. 535 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:12,880 I'm going to give a couple lockets of beard hair to those closest to me. 536 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:20,720 And then the rest of it, I'm going to be traveling the country. 537 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:27,920 Wherever little heathens decide to take me. 538 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:32,080 Sounds like a great plan. 539 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:38,200 I just got to find a lawyer that's willing to take on the custody enforcement. 540 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:48,720 I don't want to end up in some closet like on TikTok before it was taken away from us. 541 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,200 But that's for the next episode. 542 00:30:52,200 --> 00:31:02,540 The woman who did pork chop, lamb chop. 543 00:31:02,540 --> 00:31:06,960 She was moving out of the country, which she doesn't say why, but we can probably guess. 544 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:12,320 I think she said she was moving to Spain and she wanted to figure out what she was going 545 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:18,960 to do with her mom's ashes. 546 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,880 And I don't know if she ever came to a conclusion. 547 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:22,880 And you know what? 548 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:23,880 Now I won't know. 549 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,080 Now I won't know because I can't follow the story because it's not on TikTok anymore, 550 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,320 because TikTok doesn't exist anymore. 551 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,400 And I hate it. 552 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:39,520 I have reflexively tried to open TikTok three separate times this morning. 553 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:40,600 And for no reason. 554 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,000 I've been doing things all morning. 555 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,920 I was prepping for an episode today. 556 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:48,760 I did not need to be on TikTok, but I opened it three separate times and was sad all three 557 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:49,760 times. 558 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:55,640 And Xi Jinping is laughing in China right now. 559 00:31:55,640 --> 00:32:01,200 It's just, it's so bizarre that if you open TikTok, the message that pops up talks about 560 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,320 how Trump is going to get it back for us. 561 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,280 What bizarre universe are we in right now? 562 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,800 Hey, Roseanne is rapping. 563 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,280 We're going to get TikTok back because of Trump. 564 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:14,280 What was the song? 565 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:15,280 I'm tired of this, Grandpa. 566 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,280 It's called Daddy's Home. 567 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,440 That's too damn bad. 568 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:21,440 And you know what? 569 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,000 You're not going to hear that sound clip anymore either because TikTok's gone. 570 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,720 If you think I'm going to stop quoting holes, you are sadly mistaken. 571 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,760 That is not a thing that is TikTok dependent. 572 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:37,720 That was a long walk away from our topic. 573 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:38,800 Visiting Hollywood. 574 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:43,760 I don't know that I'd want to go back to Hollywood for reasons other than the cemetery and Grohman's 575 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,200 Chinese theater. 576 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:51,720 What I would want to see in California is the Redwoods and San Diego. 577 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,560 I want to see the Redwoods. 578 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,560 It's a lot farther from San Francisco than I thought. 579 00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:58,560 Yeah. 580 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:07,920 Because I had seen the cinematic masterpiece that is The Planet of the Apes with James 581 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,040 Franco. 582 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,040 And from my... 583 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,280 Cancelled. 584 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:20,080 From my remembrance of that movie, they go across the Golden Gate Bridge and then they're 585 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,120 just in the Redwoods. 586 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:26,800 And so I thought that's how the geography worked and it does not. 587 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:31,480 It's like over an hour and a half long drive, maybe two hours. 588 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:32,480 An hour and a half? 589 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:33,760 Yeah, to get to the Redwood Forest. 590 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:42,000 We did the same thing in Parks and Rec in the next to last season. 591 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:47,640 They take Ben Wyatt into their Redwood Forest and he's getting super excited because that's 592 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,160 where all the Ewoks were or whatever. 593 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:55,240 That's where they filmed the forests of Endor. 594 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,520 And then they go directly to the Golden Gate Bridge and that's how Leslie decides that 595 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,960 she's going to be a member of the Parks Service. 596 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:01,960 Exactly. 597 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,760 Media needs to be held accountable for these lies. 598 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:05,760 This is nonsense. 599 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,400 I will not accept this. 600 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,400 I did not realize that it was an hour and a half away. 601 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:11,400 It's something like that. 602 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:12,400 I was appalled. 603 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:13,400 Appalled. 604 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,880 I mean, 90 minutes is not... 605 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:23,680 Okay, I was way off. 606 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:28,360 San Francisco to Redwood National Park. 607 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,360 Five hours and 15 minutes. 608 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:36,680 Oh my God. 609 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,280 Which is even more egregious. 610 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,400 Five hours and 15 minutes. 611 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,720 Is it like super far north? 612 00:34:42,720 --> 00:34:43,720 Yes. 613 00:34:43,720 --> 00:34:45,320 Yeah, it's almost to... 614 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:46,320 To Oregon? 615 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,760 It's almost to Oregon, yeah. 616 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,000 Oh, okay. 617 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,840 I would still very much love to go to the Redwoods and see the Golden Gate Bridge in 618 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:59,080 apparently two separate trips because I'm not doing that drive. 619 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:05,160 We could start at the Redwoods and then drive down and make sure all the windows are up 620 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:09,360 and the doors are locked and then go through San Francisco. 621 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:14,760 And then shoot down to San Jose, go see the Winchester Mystery House. 622 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,560 Oh, I would love to see that too. 623 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,520 Which is, that's another thing that I really wanted to do but I just could not get myself 624 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,600 motivated to get there. 625 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:28,720 Because San Francisco to San Jose is a pretty short drive. 626 00:35:28,720 --> 00:35:31,400 And yeah, I just... 627 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:32,400 I don't know what it was. 628 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:33,400 I really wanted to go. 629 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:34,400 Maybe I was too scared. 630 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,000 Maybe I didn't want to bring that Juju back with me. 631 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,000 That's fair. 632 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,940 It's like going into a Ouija board. 633 00:35:41,940 --> 00:35:47,480 And then you just follow the coast down and you get to like Santa Barbara, Oxnard, LA, 634 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:48,480 Anaheim. 635 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,160 Go to Disneyland. 636 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,120 And then not too far from there, San Diego. 637 00:35:54,120 --> 00:36:00,880 I went to the Disney Walk, the thing that's like just outside of the park. 638 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,840 And the people out there were... 639 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:03,840 Downtown Disney? 640 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:04,840 Sure. 641 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:09,920 So we went to the Universal, which might be the City Walk. 642 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,800 And then we did the Disney one, which is... 643 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,760 Did you say that in an Asian accent? 644 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:14,760 I will not. 645 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:15,760 Okay. 646 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:24,000 And then we went to the Disney version and the people out there were just the worst. 647 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,840 Which I think that's most of California. 648 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:26,840 Oh yeah. 649 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,320 They're just... 650 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:29,320 Yeah. 651 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:43,400 And then when I... the first time I went to LA, which I was... it was post-pandemic. 652 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:54,240 So it was like 20... maybe like mid 2020, 2021. 653 00:36:54,240 --> 00:36:57,340 Somewhere around there. 654 00:36:57,340 --> 00:37:01,600 One of the first interactions I had was... 655 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:08,000 I had one of those net gators that everyone decided were okay as a mask. 656 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,020 Well, not in California, apparently. 657 00:37:11,020 --> 00:37:16,720 So I come in and I didn't have it on because Texas didn't care. 658 00:37:16,720 --> 00:37:20,520 And I walk into the hotel to check in and, sir, you need a mask. 659 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:21,520 Okay. 660 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:23,160 Well, can I just check in real quick? 661 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:28,960 So I'm just going to go up to my room and then I will have no contact with people. 662 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,480 Sir, you need a mask. 663 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:32,480 And then I pulled mine up. 664 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:38,720 No, sir, sir, you need to leave, put on a mask, and then you may enter back in. 665 00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:41,320 Like, oh, this is going to be a fun trip. 666 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:42,680 This is going to be real fun. 667 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:43,680 Yeah. 668 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:50,440 I had to walk out the door, pull it up off, like up from my neck, walk in like I'm a bank 669 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,440 robber from the 1870s. 670 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:58,600 And then I get my room and go up there. 671 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:03,040 And of course, I didn't see anyone on the way to my room. 672 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:08,760 And then I found out that they only give you... 673 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,720 Most hotels you go to, they say you want one or two cards. 674 00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:13,480 They only give you one card per person. 675 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,140 So you use that card to get into your room. 676 00:38:16,140 --> 00:38:21,000 And then there's a little slot next to the door that you have to put that card into in 677 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,160 order to get the electricity to work in the room. 678 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:25,160 What? 679 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:26,160 Yes. 680 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:30,960 So you have to leave that card in there in order to use anything in the room. 681 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:35,600 And then what you're supposed to do is supposed to take it out that way there's no electricity 682 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,800 being used when you're not in there. 683 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:45,440 And so what I did, being such a well-versed traveler, I just reached down my backpack, 684 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,760 found another card from a different hotel, stuffed it in there, and then went about my 685 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,440 day. 686 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:58,280 And then maybe a couple of days later, I ran into another incident at a Mexican restaurant 687 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:03,240 of a man berating me for not wearing a mask. 688 00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:04,960 And those were tough times. 689 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:05,960 Tough times. 690 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:12,720 I would be very curious to know in this day and age, the people that still wear masks, 691 00:39:12,720 --> 00:39:13,720 why? 692 00:39:13,720 --> 00:39:16,200 That's not a judgment or anything. 693 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,200 I'm genuinely curious why people are still wearing masks. 694 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:20,960 Like what they think they're preventing. 695 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:21,960 Yes. 696 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,800 Yeah, I get that. 697 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,480 I don't have an answer for that. 698 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:33,120 Because I don't think it would be for COVID reasons. 699 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:34,120 It could be. 700 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:39,360 I mean, I don't know what the thought process is, but I've seen a lot of people still wearing 701 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,880 masks, especially down here. 702 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,360 It's still relatively prevalent. 703 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:55,720 It was just such a weird time in the world that you could not go into a bank unless your 704 00:39:55,720 --> 00:39:59,640 face was completely covered. 705 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:04,280 They've come so far. 706 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,400 Crazy time to be alive. 707 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:13,520 And yet we're still so far away from being in a timeline that makes a shred of sense. 708 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,760 Oh, man. 709 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:21,960 I'm telling you guys, the Roseanne bar wrap, it broke me. 710 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:23,440 With Tom McDonald, check it out. 711 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,440 It is. 712 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:29,400 Full confirmation that we are in the darkest timeline right now. 713 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,400 She's got cornrows. 714 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,720 Oh, to be fair. 715 00:40:33,720 --> 00:40:37,600 And then she also has a mullet. 716 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,400 And then they're in like a green and purple Lambo. 717 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:41,400 She tries to twerk. 718 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:42,400 McLaren. 719 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:43,400 She does. 720 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:53,560 Did you know that there exists some Maxim-esque photo shoots of Roseanne from her heyday? 721 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,680 No, I did not. 722 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,520 Yeah, I just found that out on Twitter a couple days ago. 723 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:00,520 So, oh, sorry. 724 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:01,520 Wow. 725 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,520 I didn't mean the dead name. 726 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,240 Oh, my bad. 727 00:41:06,240 --> 00:41:11,400 And yeah, that's not information that I wanted to know, but I'm so glad that you brought 728 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,600 up Roseanne as soon as I walked in here. 729 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,640 That way I could impart that knowledge onto you. 730 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:17,640 I hate it. 731 00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:18,640 Thank you. 732 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:19,640 Well, you're welcome. 733 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:26,520 It feels on brand with them making Martha Stewart a Sports Illustrated model at like 734 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:27,520 80. 735 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:33,120 Something like that, yeah. 736 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:34,120 Is it empowering? 737 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,680 I don't know. 738 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,800 I don't know what to think about anything anymore. 739 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:39,800 Yeah, nothing matters. 740 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:41,720 The internet has ruined me. 741 00:41:41,720 --> 00:41:42,720 Nothing matters. 742 00:41:42,720 --> 00:41:45,960 Everything's a joke. 743 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:47,760 Everything's made up and the points don't matter. 744 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,600 Whose line is it anyway has been telling us for decades now. 745 00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:56,480 Where do you think is the best type of place to travel for fun? 746 00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:57,480 No agenda. 747 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:03,280 It just, you just want to go there and not have to worry about the real world. 748 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:04,280 Mountains. 749 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:05,280 Mountains? 750 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:06,280 100%. 751 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:15,280 Okay, is that because you can disconnect fully and not have to worry about Instagram, Facebook, 752 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:16,280 people calling? 753 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:17,280 Yes. 754 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,280 Work? 755 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:25,400 So we talked about this one in the family vacations episode, but my absolute favorite 756 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:29,880 vacations that I've been on have all been like in remote areas. 757 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:36,280 So either like camping or sometime in the mountains or just kind of like cabin in the 758 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:37,700 woods kind of thing. 759 00:42:37,700 --> 00:42:42,480 And it's because I, it's not only that I love being able to disconnect. 760 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:43,880 I absolutely do. 761 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:50,200 But it's also the ability to like not have to worry about being all this like go, go, 762 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:51,200 go. 763 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,120 Like your entire, the entire stress of the trip was you getting there and you getting 764 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:55,120 back. 765 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,360 So all of the time in between, you can literally just shut your brain off. 766 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:04,080 You just get to exist for a couple of days and it is the best feeling in the world. 767 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:05,080 Yeah. 768 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,920 Yeah, no, I completely understand that. 769 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:17,480 I don't know the last time when I was intentionally fully disengaged from everything. 770 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:21,760 But whenever, even when it happens on accident, you just, you feel this little bit of relief. 771 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,520 Hey, even if something were going on, I wouldn't know about it. 772 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:34,960 I went to Branson sometime last year and the drive up to Branson, like a giant stretch 773 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:38,240 of it was just like mountains and trees and it was great. 774 00:43:38,240 --> 00:43:41,000 There was like nothing in Arkansas. 775 00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:46,040 And then when we got to Branson, it was just Trump merch stores on Trump merch stores on 776 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:47,480 Trump merch stores. 777 00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,440 It was insane. 778 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:55,880 And then we got to our like cabin and it was just this little like bubble, like none of 779 00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,560 the rest of the city or whatever mattered. 780 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,840 I didn't have to interact with anyone. 781 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,120 I didn't want to. 782 00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,960 Did you have internet? 783 00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:06,960 We did. 784 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:07,960 Oh yeah. 785 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:11,400 Wifi or just all phone? 786 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:15,040 We had Wifi because it was a timeshare resort. 787 00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,120 Oh, you fell for one of those? 788 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:22,200 Yeah, because the person that I went with was not going to get talked into a timeshare. 789 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:23,200 Yeah. 790 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,600 And he was successful? 791 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,480 It was genuinely a no pressure like sales presentation. 792 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:34,360 We talked for, they talked for like two hours and then we had to sit in an office and try 793 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,440 to get like directly sold to. 794 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,680 And they were like, how can we make this make sense? 795 00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,240 I can't afford a place to actually live. 796 00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:46,520 You think I'm going to afford a weekend Destin every year? 797 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:47,520 No. 798 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:52,080 You think that I'm going to take this free trip with the possibility of having to pay 799 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:59,160 thousands and thousands of dollars per year to a place that I'm going to visit maybe once 800 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:00,160 a year? 801 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:01,160 Yeah. 802 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:05,560 I could see where it makes like theoretical financial sense. 803 00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,320 Like the sales pitch was solid. 804 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:13,840 It was never going to work because for one thing I have seen every TV show ever talk 805 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,520 about the sales pitch. 806 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:19,360 Even SpongeBob did a timeshare presentation. 807 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:23,480 But like it was never going to work. 808 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:28,400 But from a like objective standpoint, I think it was a really good sales pitch. 809 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:29,400 Okay. 810 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:30,400 Yeah. 811 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:35,920 We spent three hours of our three days, I think, in the timeshare presentation and then 812 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,960 we got to do nothing for the rest of our time. 813 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:38,960 It was great. 814 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:39,960 Okay. 815 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:40,960 Yeah. 816 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:49,400 I don't know if I would be as strong willed for a timeshare presentation, but that's just 817 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:50,400 me. 818 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:54,480 That's why I'm not going to put myself in that situation. 819 00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:59,800 So I mean, if you can handle it, then more power to you. 820 00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:04,600 So I think the nail in the coffin, one of them, because there was no way we were going 821 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:08,200 to say yes anyway, but the final nail in the coffin was that they kept throwing math at 822 00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,200 us and it was like wrong. 823 00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:14,440 They were like, you'll get this many points and you can translate this many points to 824 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:15,440 this amount of things. 825 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,320 It's like that doesn't make sense. 826 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:19,320 That's funny. 827 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:20,800 For just a car payment every month. 828 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,680 Like, you think I have extra car payment money? 829 00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:32,120 Because in the second seat, third season of White Lotus, that is the first thing that 830 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:38,440 they talk about is a family of timeshare people that are no, no. 831 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:39,440 Okay. 832 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:40,440 I'm getting it all mixed up. 833 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:46,720 No, this was a Simpsons episode that was parodying the White Lotus and it's all about getting 834 00:46:46,720 --> 00:46:50,680 screwed over with a timeshare. 835 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:51,680 Check it out. 836 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:52,680 It's worth the watch. 837 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:58,400 It's the yellow Lotus in case you guys are curious. 838 00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,400 I cannot wait for season three of White Lotus. 839 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:04,280 Yeah, I couldn't finish the second season. 840 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:05,440 I don't know. 841 00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:09,320 I maybe watched like an episode and a half and just never went back to it. 842 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:15,040 The first season was way better than the second one, but I do also love Aubrey Plaza. 843 00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:26,080 Yeah, I think that my preferred setting for a vacation that I'm taking on my own is probably 844 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,880 more beach than mountains. 845 00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:37,000 I just like being able to go in the water and run the risk of being eaten by a shark. 846 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:38,000 I like that danger. 847 00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,600 You're not going to get eaten by a shark in the mountains. 848 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:43,080 Mauled by a grizzly bear? 849 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:44,360 Yeah, but that's the thing. 850 00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:45,360 Man versus bear. 851 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:46,360 But that's the thing. 852 00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:47,360 Real time. 853 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:53,360 You're going to see the bear coming. 854 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:57,440 But the bear is going to be approaching you and you are going to know it. 855 00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:01,640 With a shark, boom. 856 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,720 Just all of a sudden the fins there and then. 857 00:48:04,720 --> 00:48:07,720 Okay, sure. 858 00:48:07,720 --> 00:48:10,320 But what if you're just like sleeping in your tent? 859 00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:11,320 Bear. 860 00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:15,400 I guess, yeah, yeah. 861 00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:16,400 Taking a shit in the woods. 862 00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:17,400 Bear. 863 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:18,400 That's why you bury it. 864 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:19,400 Your focus is elsewhere. 865 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,880 That's why you bury it. 866 00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:29,160 But also, if you're just out in the mountains, you can't just pee. 867 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:43,840 If you're in the Gulf of America, if you're in the GOA, as I like to call it, then you 868 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,800 might be eaten by a shark five minutes from now. 869 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:47,800 But you know what? 870 00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:56,760 Right now, you can just lift the levees and just live your freest life just right there 871 00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,320 in the water and you're surrounded by strangers. 872 00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:03,680 People are getting this water in their mouths, in their ears, in their eyes, in their nose 873 00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,520 and they're no wiser for it. 874 00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:10,920 Sure, that's freer for you until you think of the fact that other people can also pee 875 00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:11,920 in that water. 876 00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:12,920 That's fine. 877 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:13,920 What do you mean that's fine? 878 00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:14,920 That's fine. 879 00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:15,920 You know why? 880 00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:16,960 You know why? 881 00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,880 Because that's the human experience. 882 00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,580 All of us just coming together. 883 00:49:22,580 --> 00:49:27,040 That's why they call America the melting pot. 884 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:34,300 Everyone just coming together and everyone getting everyone's pee all over their face. 885 00:49:34,300 --> 00:49:39,140 Which is why I support changing the name to the Gulf of America. 886 00:49:39,140 --> 00:49:43,200 They don't call Mexico the melting pot. 887 00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,680 They call it like the queso croc or something like that. 888 00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:50,720 For the record, I do not endorse any part of this conversation. 889 00:49:50,720 --> 00:50:00,560 But you can't live your life worrying about getting other people's pee in your eyes. 890 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,680 You absolutely can. 891 00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:03,920 No, you can't. 892 00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,760 If you spend your time worrying about that, then you're spending your time worrying about 893 00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,720 all this stuff, all the negative things about life. 894 00:50:10,720 --> 00:50:15,000 Okay, so I'm not actively worrying about getting other people's pee in my eyes. 895 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,960 Instead, I just opt for situations where I don't have to think about other people's 896 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,920 pee getting anywhere near me. 897 00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:22,920 You're not living, man. 898 00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:23,920 Sure, probably not. 899 00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,120 That's fine with me. 900 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,000 And also for the record, you can pee in the woods. 901 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:35,720 Yeah, but you're not wearing clothes specifically designed to dry quickly. 902 00:50:35,720 --> 00:50:39,800 And then you gotta shake it, ladies, you gotta wipe. 903 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:44,360 Whereas if you're just undulating in the water, you're just... 904 00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,760 You just don't ever use that word. 905 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:51,240 You're just moving with the motion of the ocean. 906 00:50:51,240 --> 00:50:56,320 You just drop it and just let the stream flow. 907 00:50:56,320 --> 00:51:00,140 And do your part to make your mark on this world. 908 00:51:00,140 --> 00:51:05,380 And then go back up to the beach and two seconds later you're dried off and you're ready for 909 00:51:05,380 --> 00:51:07,580 margaritas. 910 00:51:07,580 --> 00:51:08,680 You can't do that. 911 00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,380 You can't do that in the... 912 00:51:10,380 --> 00:51:11,380 Where are you gonna plug in the machine? 913 00:51:11,380 --> 00:51:15,000 Where are you gonna plug in the margarita maker? 914 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,200 In the woods, in your tent. 915 00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,260 What, you're gonna get a solar powered margarita? 916 00:51:19,260 --> 00:51:22,600 You're being ridiculous right now. 917 00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:26,360 I wasn't a parrot head before this conversation and I won't be one afterwards. 918 00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,160 I'm sorry, Jimmy Buffett. 919 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:29,160 RIP. 920 00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:30,160 RIP. 921 00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,840 Rest in paradise. 922 00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:34,320 Rest in paradise. 923 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,080 No, mountains. 924 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,080 All day, every day. 925 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:43,200 I'm just letting you know now you are wrong. 926 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:49,440 So as long as you can take that information, as long as you can handle that and maybe use 927 00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:53,800 it moving forward to make yourself a better person in the future than I've done my job. 928 00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:59,360 You know now that TikTok is temporarily gone, if we were to post this on Instagram, we could 929 00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:00,360 make a poll. 930 00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,040 Mountains or beaches. 931 00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,440 We can make a poll on X. 932 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,240 No thank you. 933 00:52:07,240 --> 00:52:08,240 Okay. 934 00:52:08,240 --> 00:52:09,240 I mean you can. 935 00:52:09,240 --> 00:52:11,680 We could, we could turn this into a YouTube short. 936 00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:13,320 Oh this is true. 937 00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:14,320 Can you vote on YouTube? 938 00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,320 Yeah, you can make polls. 939 00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:18,320 Alright. 940 00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:19,320 Yeah. 941 00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:25,160 I think there's also a lot of polls involved and OnlyFans do if they really wanted to branch 942 00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:26,160 out. 943 00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,600 Anyway, what else you got for traveling solo? 944 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,080 What do you look for? 945 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:34,440 Okay, so say you're in the mountains. 946 00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:37,320 Is there anything specific about the mountains that you're looking for? 947 00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,280 Like are you looking for lake access? 948 00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:45,480 Are you looking for good campsites with hookups or anything like that? 949 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:46,480 Campsites with hookups? 950 00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:50,840 On the same plane as the conversation we were just having. 951 00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:55,280 If I can get it, I will opt for the thing with plumbing. 952 00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:56,280 Okay. 953 00:52:56,280 --> 00:53:01,960 But like, but like facilities, not like you're bringing like a camp or anything. 954 00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:06,920 Yeah, no, I wouldn't, I don't think be an RV person. 955 00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:08,640 Mostly because I don't ever want to drive an RV. 956 00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:10,480 My depth perception sucks. 957 00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:16,760 And so I don't trust myself with enormous vehicles that I think you should need a CDL 958 00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:21,040 to be legally allowed to drive, but they just let like senior citizens drive. 959 00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,000 It's the same with U-Hauls. 960 00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,400 I think you should need a CDL to drive. 961 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:26,400 You should need something. 962 00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:27,400 Yeah. 963 00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,000 Something more than a wing and a prayer. 964 00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:32,020 And that is why I did not drive my U-Haul here. 965 00:53:32,020 --> 00:53:33,020 So hookups. 966 00:53:33,020 --> 00:53:35,440 So that's that's all the only thing you're looking for. 967 00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:36,440 Yeah. 968 00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:42,360 The last place that we went camping, it had like porta potty kind of facilities, which 969 00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:45,640 is not my favorite, but we were like right on the lake. 970 00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:46,640 It was awesome. 971 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:51,000 So we got to be like directly on the water. 972 00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:57,120 I think our actual campsite was like 10 feet from the actual like water line. 973 00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:59,800 That was a low tide. 974 00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:04,560 So I'm sure different parts of the year would be like right on the campsite. 975 00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:14,360 Yeah, I think for me, one of the more prominent aspects I look for when I'm looking for somewhere 976 00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:23,400 to vacation or whatever is one just in the vicinity of some sort of water, usually like 977 00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:28,440 a beach, like I don't really like like lakes and stuff like that. 978 00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:34,520 I like the endlessness of the Gulf or the want the call of the void. 979 00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:35,520 Pretty much. 980 00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:36,520 Yeah. 981 00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:37,520 Yeah. 982 00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:39,680 And we've talked about this before. 983 00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:44,920 So you go to a Texas beach and it's garbage. 984 00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:49,960 If you've been to a real beach, it is no fun and you're not going to have any fun there. 985 00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:57,960 You can get in the water and be fine because that's just like being out in the big old 986 00:54:57,960 --> 00:54:59,480 open ocean. 987 00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:05,880 But I would definitely if I were to if I were looking for somewhere to go, it would be somewhere 988 00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:11,360 like Destin or somewhere where they are known for their beaches and you get actual sand 989 00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,600 and not just really. 990 00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:15,880 I don't even know. 991 00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:19,800 It's like a it's like a sand type clay that they have in Texas. 992 00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:21,040 Yeah, it's not. 993 00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:22,040 It's not sand. 994 00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:28,360 I will say in the defense of like beaches versus mountains. 995 00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:33,440 I don't know that I've been to I think I've been to like one beach that wasn't in Texas. 996 00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:38,760 So like my my scope of going to the beach is not the most enjoyable thing because I understand 997 00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:44,400 the Texas beaches are not the ones you generally opt to go for, but I've been camping in a 998 00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:45,400 lot of places. 999 00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:50,600 So like I have a lot more experience with the joys of camping. 1000 00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:56,960 I've mostly been to like Port Aransas or Galveston or Corpus Christi kind of beaches. 1001 00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,400 And the best. 1002 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:07,880 Yeah I've been to I think the only California beach that I've been to like out of childhood 1003 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,600 is Marina Del Rey. 1004 00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:11,600 I was there. 1005 00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:12,600 It was real gloomy. 1006 00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:14,000 It was cold as hell. 1007 00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:20,720 But I just want to say that I went to a California beach more recently. 1008 00:56:20,720 --> 00:56:26,040 We've been to the super nice beach and just outside of Tampa. 1009 00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:34,640 We went to Destin over the summer and then I mean altogether the like Miami and those 1010 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:39,240 those beaches are worth making the trek out there. 1011 00:56:39,240 --> 00:56:42,960 But yeah I mean I would look for nice beaches. 1012 00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,040 Just a beach isn't going to be enough for me. 1013 00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:49,800 Like I will if we have like a three day weekend or something we'll go down to Galveston or 1014 00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:54,320 whatever but we're not going to it's not going to be like the big trip for the year just 1015 00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:59,240 to go down to Galveston because Galveston gets real old real quick. 1016 00:56:59,240 --> 00:57:03,200 Yeah far as Galveston from here. 1017 00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:05,360 From here what probably about four hours. 1018 00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:06,360 Three and a half. 1019 00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:07,360 All right. 1020 00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:12,880 I was looking at the the distance from here to Houston the other day because I wanted 1021 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:15,720 to go to the other Meow Wolf. 1022 00:57:15,720 --> 00:57:18,040 And that's also it's longer than I thought it was. 1023 00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:21,480 I don't know why I thought that Austin and Houston were closer together but it's still 1024 00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,360 like three hours. 1025 00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:26,280 The only two I have left are Vegas and Houston. 1026 00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:31,560 But I've been to Santa Fe Denver and Great Line. 1027 00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:37,960 The last thing that I look for this one can be either if I'm with the kids or not is like 1028 00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,840 historical landmarks historical stuff. 1029 00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:49,320 So like if we're going to Galveston then we'll stop at the Sam Houston statue. 1030 00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:53,280 We'll stop at NASA. 1031 00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:58,440 We'll do something like that something educational something that they can actually learn from 1032 00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:04,160 and take with them into into their their day to day. 1033 00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,640 Those are the things I mostly look for. 1034 00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:12,000 I think if I'm traveling for work then one of the first things I'm going to do is I'm 1035 00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:17,720 going to start looking at maybe like fancier restaurants that I wouldn't go to in my normal 1036 00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:24,480 life because I would much rather blow a hundred dollars on a meal I didn't like if I'm not 1037 00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:26,960 footing the bill. 1038 00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:34,400 And I think that that's helped me really expand my palette and just find stuff that I wouldn't 1039 00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:39,560 have known about otherwise because I didn't want to run the risk on trying it. 1040 00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:44,720 So I think that that's a pretty substantial difference between traveling for fun and traveling 1041 00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:51,240 for work is that you're more. 1042 00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:54,000 The money flows a little freer when you're not paying for it. 1043 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,080 You're not as concerned with it. 1044 00:58:56,080 --> 00:59:01,480 You're able to just not worry about that part and just focus on the stuff that you actually 1045 00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:02,760 do want. 1046 00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:05,880 Are you a light packer or a heavy packer? 1047 00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:06,960 I'm a light packer. 1048 00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:11,000 If I can take everything that I need in a backpack I absolutely will. 1049 00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:14,160 An overstuffed backpack or a reasonably stuffed backpack? 1050 00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:16,360 A reasonably stuffed backpack. 1051 00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:21,360 It does kind of depend on whether or not I can do laundry at the place that I'm at. 1052 00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:23,280 That makes sense. 1053 00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:27,960 So like I think my clothes honestly take up the bulk of whenever I travel because other 1054 00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:35,920 than that I really just need like toothbrush and toothpaste and maybe a face wash, shampoo, 1055 00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:40,360 conditioner, body wash, stuff like that. 1056 00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:45,400 Maybe some kind of entertainment, so a book or my laptop or whatever. 1057 00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:50,040 I am a heavy packer. 1058 00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:59,320 I'm not as heavy of a packer as the Mrs. because she'll bring like two suitcases for a weekend. 1059 00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:05,880 And my stuff will be in like one half of one suitcase but then she gets a suitcase and 1060 01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:07,360 a half. 1061 01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:15,280 And it's a little excessive but when I'm out of town for work I pack heavy as hell because... 1062 01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:18,600 You take like your PlayStation stuff for the hotel, right? 1063 01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:19,600 Yes. 1064 01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:21,560 I take my PlayStation stuff. 1065 01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:26,640 I bring a lot of this podcast equipment so that I can edit it while I'm just sitting 1066 01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:28,440 in a hotel room. 1067 01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:35,480 And that's another thing that comes with the traveling for fun or traveling for work is 1068 01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:42,920 that it's all well and good if you're traveling for work and then after work you're going 1069 01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:44,600 out and you're doing stuff. 1070 01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:48,000 But doing stuff costs your own money. 1071 01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:52,400 And so you can't be doing it every day. 1072 01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:58,120 I got the AMC A-list so I paid 20 bucks a month. 1073 01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,140 I can go see three movies. 1074 01:01:00,140 --> 01:01:04,080 But then they tried to upcharge you saying that, oh well it's only available in these 1075 01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:05,800 states. 1076 01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:10,640 Florida is like the middle tier and then the highest tier is where you get like New Jersey 1077 01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:12,040 and New York and all that stuff. 1078 01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:14,580 I'm not there very often but... 1079 01:01:14,580 --> 01:01:18,280 So I mean that's something that I do have available to me and it's not going to cost 1080 01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:21,480 me any extra money that I can spend a night doing. 1081 01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:27,760 But for the most part the time that I'm there I'm just in the hotel room. 1082 01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:33,280 And so I need this stuff to keep me occupied while I'm there. 1083 01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:37,600 And so whenever I travel for work I definitely travel a lot heavier than when I travel for 1084 01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:46,480 pleasure, fun. 1085 01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:48,040 It also kind of depends on the destination. 1086 01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:55,160 So like whenever we've gone camping I'll pack a little bit heavier on the activities. 1087 01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,400 So like I'll bring a couple of books. 1088 01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:03,840 I'll bring like a board game maybe stuff like that so that I don't have to be on my phone 1089 01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:04,840 as much. 1090 01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:08,120 It's stuff that like would technically take up more space but it's stuff that's going 1091 01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:09,480 to like keep me occupied. 1092 01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:13,840 Because I do spend a lot of time on my phone when I'm just like in my day to day. 1093 01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:20,200 But I don't want to be living the exact same way that I am once I'm in a campsite. 1094 01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:22,320 Like that's just not fun for me. 1095 01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:32,160 Yeah I get that and just trying to live your normal life but somewhere else. 1096 01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:40,120 Like I think that's one of the big differences between work and pleasure traveling is that 1097 01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:46,720 when you're doing it for yourself you don't want to just live your life somewhere else. 1098 01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:49,160 You're trying to escape that life. 1099 01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:57,720 So you're less worried about what you're missing at home and what needs to be done at home 1100 01:02:57,720 --> 01:03:01,480 or what you need to do to keep your home afloat. 1101 01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:06,360 Whereas if you're at work then you got your job and then you got to worry about all this 1102 01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:09,840 other stuff for work. 1103 01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:14,360 What do you think is the most expensive trip that you've ever taken? 1104 01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:23,640 Probably when I went to Denver. 1105 01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:28,920 It's been a couple of years since that particular trip but getting out there was fine. 1106 01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:40,760 It was I was with a friend of mine who like I'm a big like low budget like quarters kind 1107 01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:41,760 of person. 1108 01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:48,160 So like I could use a cheap motel so long as I don't get bed bugs and stuff like I really 1109 01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:50,480 don't care. 1110 01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:55,560 But I also recognize that that's not really a thing that works with most people and so 1111 01:03:55,560 --> 01:04:02,520 we did like an Airbnb we had a hotel in Denver and like all the activities and stuff because 1112 01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:06,880 we did stuff I think every day that we were there for five days. 1113 01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:10,800 That one definitely racked up the biggest bill. 1114 01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:16,200 Yeah I think the most expensive trip that I have ever that I've been a part of I don't 1115 01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:20,120 think I actually foot the bill. 1116 01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:24,440 We have we have I mean when you're traveling with kids everything gets so much more expensive 1117 01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:37,800 anyways but then you got we went to Tampa for a wedding a year and a half ago and the 1118 01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:41,800 flights we flew Spirit one way frontier the other. 1119 01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:43,440 So the flights weren't that big of a deal. 1120 01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:51,880 We stayed at a family member's house and then I mean for the most part it was relatively 1121 01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:58,600 cheap but I think that overall as far as money spent I was probably one of the more expensive 1122 01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:02,520 trips that I've taken recently. 1123 01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:09,600 We don't know what the cost was for anything that we took like as a family but I'm sure 1124 01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:16,400 those were those were pretty expensive comparatively to if you account for inflation. 1125 01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:21,760 I think on on that note there have definitely been trips that were more expensive that I 1126 01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:25,640 was on but I just didn't have really a concept of how much it actually cost because I wasn't 1127 01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:27,360 paying for a lot of stuff. 1128 01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:35,400 Yeah like I mean even if you're shooting down to San Antonio you got five hours of driving 1129 01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:39,760 so the gas that goes into that but then you have a hotel for three four nights and then 1130 01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:46,320 you got to get everyone into SeaWorld or whatever and then all the food that costs that come 1131 01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:52,400 with that and then I mean I'm sure those those are some pretty hefty price tags on those 1132 01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:53,400 trips that we took. 1133 01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:59,040 Is SeaWorld less expensive now that they've had to rebrand lose all of the oh yeah the 1134 01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:00,720 things that drove people to SeaWorld? 1135 01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:06,480 You are getting about a tenth of what you would have gotten so the price reflects that. 1136 01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:14,240 Okay in that case what is the cheapest vacation you've been on? 1137 01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:19,960 Cheapest I don't know if you really consider what do you what is the definition of a vacation 1138 01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:21,920 to you? 1139 01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:28,360 I would say if you've been away from your home for the purpose of like for the specific 1140 01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:30,560 purpose of traveling to somewhere. 1141 01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:42,040 Okay oh then definitely we have a casino the world's largest casino gambling for most slot 1142 01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:49,740 machines in one casino something like that anyways that I have been known to frequent 1143 01:06:49,740 --> 01:06:56,200 and I constantly get mailers and stuff so if we just feel like we really need to get 1144 01:06:56,200 --> 01:07:04,840 away then I can call them up and they set me up with a room and a pretty nice hotel 1145 01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:12,680 for two nights so all you have to pay for is like you have to put a deposit down and 1146 01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:21,080 then you pay taxes and so you end up paying like maybe 50 bucks for this whole thing and 1147 01:07:21,080 --> 01:07:26,840 I mean there's plenty of restaurants there there's plenty of stuff to keep you occupied 1148 01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:31,560 and it like I said it's a pretty nice hotel and it's two nights so you're not just going 1149 01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:36,760 up there sleeping and then coming back so you're going up there and then you're staying 1150 01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:40,800 the entire day and then you sleep there that night and then you just come back the day 1151 01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:50,120 after that and so I mean if you aren't going down to the casino floor you could bring do 1152 01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:54,960 they have I don't think they have fridges or anything you can bring cooler if you really 1153 01:07:54,960 --> 01:08:04,000 want to slum it yeah but I mean you could technically get away with this trip for just 1154 01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:12,400 50 bucks and you get a hotel and then you get to two nights and sometimes you can get 1155 01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:17,240 tickets to a show there they have some pretty big acts come through there yeah I've gone 1156 01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:21,960 to a couple of the shows you've gone to a couple of shows out there so I think that 1157 01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:26,680 would probably be if I were looking for the cheapest way to have a vacation that would 1158 01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:37,040 be the cheapest one that I could think of you prefer flying or driving so I think we 1159 01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:42,280 we went into this one on family vacations too I think so yeah it depends on the distance 1160 01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:47,800 yeah there is a like cap on the amount of time I'm willing to drive and it also depends 1161 01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:55,320 on if I'm splitting that drive so like I think my cap as far as driving is 12 hours so like 1162 01:08:55,320 --> 01:09:01,160 whenever whenever I went to Denver it was six and six so we switched off at Amarillo 1163 01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:06,000 if I was doing that myself I think my cap would be 10 because the drive that I made 1164 01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:15,200 from the drive that I made to Albuquerque was my cap it's after I after I made it to 1165 01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:22,640 Albuquerque I did not want to see my car I didn't want to be in the car but then after 1166 01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:26,320 you get to Albuquerque you could just take that same amount of time and then you could 1167 01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:35,200 be in LA did you think of that yeah but I also don't want to be in LA or now Albuquerque 1168 01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:40,600 again so I don't think I'll be making that particular 10-hour drive again yeah Albuquerque 1169 01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:45,400 is kind of run its course for me I would like to go to the balloon festival again at some 1170 01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:53,920 point yeah take your niece as a nephew that's fine they talk about it all the time are they 1171 01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:59,720 really about the balloon festival yeah okay even though it was a dud when we went they 1172 01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:09,520 still had a lot of fun okay yeah I think it would be a theoretically fun trip to make 1173 01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:17,640 again in all of the right context and that is all I will say on that matter you have 1174 01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:25,160 any plans for international travel I would love to make more space for international 1175 01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:31,760 travel I don't have any specific places necessarily that I'd love to go I'd love to go to Europe 1176 01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:40,120 and go to like Germany Italy Ireland but I don't have any specific plans for that right 1177 01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:45,480 now that's probably a further out kind of trip because that's something you have to 1178 01:10:45,480 --> 01:10:54,920 plan a lot in advance for and I am very easily stressed out by like the minutiae and so I 1179 01:10:54,920 --> 01:11:01,560 would have to like sit myself down and actually like think through all of the stuff for it 1180 01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:06,680 and I'm typically a low maintenance traveler and so I like the vacations that don't require 1181 01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:13,240 me to think of like currency exchange and the fact that none of my plugins will work 1182 01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:23,560 and all of that kind of stuff I would have a lot more interest in international travel 1183 01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:29,360 if it were safe to travel internationally to the places I want to go to where is that 1184 01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:36,240 well so one of the places that I'd love to go to would be Egypt okay I know not a good 1185 01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:48,640 bet right now or just just places like Jerusalem just places that are not safe to be at right 1186 01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:53,920 now and I don't think they'll ever be so I think that I'll probably have to just recognize 1187 01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:58,880 the fact that the only experiences I'm going to have of any of these places is just going 1188 01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:05,600 to be through pictures and videos and there might come a day where I feel like I am brave 1189 01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:14,400 enough to to tough that out but as of right now today is not that day I will say if I 1190 01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:19,700 was comfortable traveling to Egypt if I would really want to do there is to go to that pizza 1191 01:12:19,700 --> 01:12:28,720 hut because it's it's so interesting to me that like we think of the the pyramids as 1192 01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:33,680 just this big imposing thing in the middle of just the desert in the middle of absolutely 1193 01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:40,440 nowhere and you can see it from the window of a pizza hut and I think it would be so 1194 01:12:40,440 --> 01:12:47,560 interesting to see it from that perspective no definitely totally yeah and that's something 1195 01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:54,760 that I would like to do but like I said it's not anytime soon yeah one of my big bucket 1196 01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:59,440 list like international trips would be Japan Japan is the place that I'd like to go the 1197 01:12:59,440 --> 01:13:04,640 most I think what would it take to get you there just the money is that the only obstacle 1198 01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:14,480 yes it's just a very expensive trip so this is our call to action make sure you like follow 1199 01:13:14,480 --> 01:13:25,080 subscribe just so that she can go to Japan and I can hire enough bodyguards to be able 1200 01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:32,280 to safely go to Egypt and maybe Jerusalem that's what I'm manifesting in 2025 there 1201 01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:39,280 you go trip to Japan and if you listen to our last episode you'll know what I'm manifesting 1202 01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:48,520 yeah but that is true and on that note what else you got oh okay what do you think are 1203 01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:56,880 the most dangerous places to travel alone I think that this list that I got was definitely 1204 01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:02,880 centered around being a woman traveling alone I was about to say I think our lists are but 1205 01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:12,360 different link but I don't think I think that I would agree that it is probably also not 1206 01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:16,680 the best idea for a man to travel to these places alone are we speaking domestically 1207 01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:23,960 or just like worldwide worldwide none of these are I have a I have another list of worst 1208 01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:29,160 cities in the US but this is just countries and the US is not one of them 1209 01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:42,920 okay least safe I feel like there's a couple of contenders in South America mm-hmm like 1210 01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:51,720 I don't think Brazil's a necessarily good place to be no Brazil Argentina what do you 1211 01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:59,400 think is the number one worst for American citizens number one worst for American citizens 1212 01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:08,720 I would want to say Egypt or somewhere like Egypt adjacent I'll give you a hint it's a 1213 01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:21,360 lot closer to home Colombia no no no Mexico I mean Mexico 1214 01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:26,760 yeah everything I've heard about being on the I almost had reservations that's definitely 1215 01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:32,000 wrong being it like resorts and that you can't step outside of that resort at all it's probably 1216 01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:40,480 not a not a great place to travel yeah most most of the danger is cited because of cartel 1217 01:15:40,480 --> 01:15:48,800 violence obviously and human trafficking which again probably more female centered right 1218 01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:58,000 but I mean I would assume that there's a market for for male traffic victims I don't know 1219 01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:03,320 and I'm sure there is is it it's not trafficking if you're like just held for ransom is it 1220 01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:11,760 why is that trafficking well I think in that situation it would be like mules mm-hmm yeah 1221 01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:17,720 I even think about that aspect of it I think you get a 50-50 of what you're useful for 1222 01:16:17,720 --> 01:16:25,600 in that situation yeah I mean yeah second one that I found most prominently was South 1223 01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:32,840 Africa really yeah yeah the home to home of Elon Musk I think because there's still a 1224 01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:43,400 lot of a lot of residual hate between the citizens and like for a couple years you've 1225 01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:51,000 heard about all these like South African farmers that are just being murdered by upset people 1226 01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:58,400 in their community so I definitely think that that is a probably another one you want to 1227 01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:06,540 steer clear of I didn't have any intention to visit South Africa but noted Turkey also 1228 01:17:06,540 --> 01:17:14,640 popped up a lot and really just anywhere in the Middle East as an American citizen I think 1229 01:17:14,640 --> 01:17:19,320 you should probably just steer clear unless you definitely know what you're doing there 1230 01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:25,360 was a so the school that I went to had a lot of like Turkish influence and so they would 1231 01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:32,600 do a trip every year for the like sophomores to the seniors to Turkey and the reason that 1232 01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:35,960 that trip worked and that that would have been I think the only reason I would ever 1233 01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:44,720 visit Turkey was because that trip was led by people that were from Turkey yeah so it 1234 01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:50,040 was a you were never gonna run the risk of being like in any danger because they could 1235 01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:55,720 navigate in a lot better of a way than just like straight American would yeah and I think 1236 01:17:55,720 --> 01:18:01,300 that would have to take a lot of a lot of trust for me to meet somebody like say I meet 1237 01:18:01,300 --> 01:18:06,640 someone from Egypt for them to me to feel comfortable enough to have them guide me through 1238 01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:14,960 their country I'd love to see it but it's there's just so much unknown and all that 1239 01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:21,900 that it's honestly just not worth it right now yeah what do you think the safest places 1240 01:18:21,900 --> 01:18:33,960 for Americans to travel is I feel like man that's tough Canada Greece maybe Greece yeah 1241 01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:38,760 that made the list I think Greece would be up there because they're because of their 1242 01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:42,720 their kind of economic situation I think they're a lot kinder to Americans because they're 1243 01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:50,320 desperate for it yes yeah I know a lot of Europeans are not fond of the Americans but 1244 01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:56,280 not necessarily in like an unsafe way just the same way that like Texans don't like Californians 1245 01:18:56,280 --> 01:19:04,320 yes yes that is very true Spagna was actually top of the top of multiple lists I believe 1246 01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:11,080 that on on places that were safest for Americans to travel to there's also Australia which 1247 01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:15,840 makes a lot of sense the danger of Australia is not the Australian people it's animals 1248 01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:19,420 that are actively trying to kill you I saw the size of a kangaroo the other day like 1249 01:19:19,420 --> 01:19:25,720 up close and personal wasn't one of the jacked ones yeah it was like yeah it was like a deer 1250 01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:30,880 on steroids it's terrifying yeah and there's there's dude there's videos of dudes fist 1251 01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:38,800 fighting these guys fist fighting kangaroos which is just the most deeply Australian thing 1252 01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:44,920 I can think of you turn a fist fight a kangaroo especially because one kick and your whole 1253 01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:52,840 chest is caving in and then last one that popped up pretty frequently which I kind of 1254 01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:58,480 have a problem with because you're not going to run into many people so unless you have 1255 01:19:58,480 --> 01:20:07,080 like a beef with sheep then you're probably not going to be in too much danger yeah but 1256 01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:14,000 the home of Lord of the Rings I was going to say New Zealand New Zealand Australia nope 1257 01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:20,040 popped up on every list that I looked at as the safest for Americans to travel to and 1258 01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:26,800 I think that that's because there's a lot of Lord of the Rings tourism that goes on 1259 01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:37,040 there so they they really have to be very kind to the hand that is feeding them yeah 1260 01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:45,640 and to finish this all off worst cities in the US Chicago Boston New York City you said 1261 01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:52,880 Boston or Austin considering I just moved to one of those I'm gonna hope it's Boston 1262 01:20:52,880 --> 01:21:02,600 actually none of those crack the top five Detroit yes mm-hmm I'm so surprised that Chicago 1263 01:21:02,600 --> 01:21:10,640 is not on that I am too I think I think this is like I think it's a PR move I think Illinois 1264 01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:17,040 is paying all these people to say hey maybe don't yeah tell everyone how terrible Chicago 1265 01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:31,400 is okay so if it's not Chicago Boston and New York City DC okay think think of San Francisco 1266 01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:38,760 San Francisco yep and slash Oakland because they're pretty much the same area and I was 1267 01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:45,840 going back to my San Francisco trip I was just so shocked by the amount of broken down 1268 01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:52,000 RVs that are just parked on the side of every single street throughout Oakland and most 1269 01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:57,880 of most of San Francisco like you're not gonna see it downtown but once you start getting 1270 01:21:57,880 --> 01:22:02,640 to the outskirts it's just they're everywhere I wonder how much it cost actually like live 1271 01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:09,120 in an RV if it has like you know power and these don't have power well yeah but I mean 1272 01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:15,120 generally most of them don't even have wheels so they're technically mobile homes technically 1273 01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:24,200 trailers I guess but with no power running water just on the side of the street okay 1274 01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:31,960 so yeah I don't know how much that would cost but I'm I'm pretty sure that it's a lot more 1275 01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:41,280 expensive than you think being in San Francisco sure yeah okay what if I told you Bourbon 1276 01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:49,200 Street oh yeah New Orleans makes sense New Orleans came up top of the list on a lot of 1277 01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:58,640 them as far as just places that were not somewhere that you wanted to be I could not tell you 1278 01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:02,480 how far down the list that would be for places I would be willing to travel by myself oh 1279 01:23:02,480 --> 01:23:09,480 I wouldn't want to go I would not ever do that trip not in a group of people no next 1280 01:23:09,480 --> 01:23:15,880 one Philly oh I totally forgot about Philly that makes sense Philly is a very and again 1281 01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:19,760 it's like you stay around the touristy places then you're going to be fine you're going 1282 01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:29,680 to have all the securities that you need but once you start getting outside of Philly Kensington 1283 01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:35,320 and all these other places is that Boston whatever they have all these neighborhoods 1284 01:23:35,320 --> 01:23:42,520 that everyone's supposed to know but anyways Philly and you'll just they have these row 1285 01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:49,280 houses so it's just houses that are really long like from front to back but they're just 1286 01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:53,480 very narrow and they're just one two three four five six seven nine like they're all 1287 01:23:53,480 --> 01:23:57,800 in a row that's why they call row houses and you'll just see people just strung out on 1288 01:23:57,800 --> 01:24:02,960 porches actively shooting up which I'm not saying you're not going to find that in other 1289 01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:07,320 cities but I am saying that this is the first time that I've experienced that firsthand 1290 01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:17,720 and just seeing people so brazenly just shooting heroin up on the street yeah and last one 1291 01:24:17,720 --> 01:24:24,680 on this list that cracked the top five good old El Paso do people travel to El Paso on 1292 01:24:24,680 --> 01:24:35,880 purpose is that a destination for anyone I don't think so there are a lot of nice things 1293 01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:45,240 about El Paso I mean you're in the desert so you have that kind of climate you're close 1294 01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:51,400 ish to mountains you can see Mexico not a part of Mexico that you want to be in but 1295 01:24:51,400 --> 01:25:00,240 you can see it yeah I don't know I mean but again that ties into all the the violence 1296 01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:06,040 with Mexico and cartels and and trafficking and all that stuff I think that's why that 1297 01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:12,760 was one of the more prominently ones listed but as far as this episode goes I think that's 1298 01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:19,520 all I got for you all right do you have any words of wisdom to impart on the audience 1299 01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:30,080 don't wait until it's too late to travel don't put it off if you want to do it do it okay 1300 01:25:30,080 --> 01:25:47,320 like the wise words of Shia LaBeouf do it just do it and my my final thought is if your 1301 01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:54,480 vacation involves you ever considering how much pee you're going to get in your general 1302 01:25:54,480 --> 01:26:02,600 orifices maybe maybe take a sec orify I believe is the proper sure plural if any part of your 1303 01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:10,680 vacation involves you getting pee in your orify maybe maybe sit down maybe maybe think 1304 01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:16,360 about your all the things that led you here and hey if that doesn't bother you at the 1305 01:26:16,360 --> 01:26:24,440 end of your little your thinking session more power to you man just just give it a sec and 1306 01:26:24,440 --> 01:26:30,840 you are entitled to your opinion and with that we'll see you next time
