Like there was a place over in Thompson, but it was like 198 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:22,120 really small. And I just remember this dude came over and had like all these custom spurs and 199 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,520 yeah, I was like, yeah, I want to buy one from, from them. 200 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,960 And they weren't bad. They're like 40 bucks if I remember. 201 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:30,760 You know what's funny? 202 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:37,240 Recently, I just bought those spurs off of Micah and gave them to my mother-in-law as a gift 203 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:43,560 because she likes using them as decoration. So that's where those spurs are now, like 12 years 204 00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:48,200 later and my mother-in-law's house. You know, I'm glad they found a good home. 205 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,560 I'm glad they found a good home. 206 00:10:49,560 --> 00:10:56,200 You want to tell them about that Middle Eastern man that got into it with his wife? 207 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,560 That got into it with his wife? 208 00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:08,280 That was, that was great. So he, now he was definitely a snake oil salesman. 209 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,000 And I don't think he was Middle Eastern. I think he's from the Middle East. 210 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:16,760 He's from India. I don't, I'm not sure though. I have no clue, you know, there's no tellings. 211 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:22,600 But he had this table. It was kind of weird. It was like in the middle of an aisle almost. 212 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:31,560 And he was the only one that kind of had that. And he sold like China, like Chinese made knives 213 00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:35,720 and like really cheap, like cutlery sets. Like I'm talking like super cheap. 214 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,360 Like you can buy a full cutlery set for like 20 bucks. 215 00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:47,400 And so anyways, there were several times, man, he had this, he had this wife and he always made 216 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:53,400 her walk behind him. And Chris and I were sitting there one time in the car. And because a lot of 217 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,240 times what would happen is we would go to this, they had like a food place over there. It was 218 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,640 pretty good. I had like burgers and stuff. And we would get lunch. And of course we would like 219 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:08,840 sit in the car, eat and we watched, we watched this happen. And unfortunately, 220 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:17,720 the guy that we're talking about stops and his poor wife wasn't paying attention and like runs 221 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:24,440 into the back of them and man, she got scolded. Like what I tell you about walking behind me and 222 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:30,360 all this stuff. Oh, it was bad. Oh, I thought he hit her. Did he hit her? I don't think he put 223 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,640 hands on her, but I don't think he hit her. Not like hit with the clothes, but I feel like he 224 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:39,000 slapped her. I thought he did. I don't know, man. I remember he started on that one. I just 225 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:46,040 remember it was one of those things we were like, ooh, that was interesting. Yeah. Before you started 226 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,400 working there and stuff, we went there a couple of times and I remember that I was going to buy 227 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:55,400 when I first was starting to shave, like buy an electric razor from there. And my dad was like, 228 00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,760 no, because he knew that it was going to break in probably two days. And he was like, no, 229 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:06,200 I actually go to the store and get you one. But then we bought my mom like some because there 230 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,880 were a lot of like Asian people there and they had like those little water fountain things that 231 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,200 you could take home. Do you remember, you know what I'm talking about? Oh man. No, no, no. Yes, 232 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:21,880 I do. I got to tell them about this one too. Do you remember, are you talking about the Asian stand 233 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:28,920 that it was like four and one and they had built almost like a makeshift like back into it out of 234 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:35,240 like PVC and tarps? And I mean, it was everything was on the floor. And I mean, it was not even a 235 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,720 dollar. Most of it was like 25 cents. It was like the cheapest stuff you could possibly imagine. 236 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:46,520 And I remember, I remember my parents bought batteries from there and like they maybe lasted 237 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:52,040 a day, like the batteries of Pista. It was always the worst crap. Yep. Yeah. We bought my mom like 238 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:57,000 a water fountain thing for like her birthday or something. And it broke like within probably 239 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,320 a couple of weeks. And so we were just like, yeah, I remember those little water fountains. Like they 240 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:06,680 had them hanging on the wall and stuff. Yeah. But I will say though that barnyard as far as flea 241 00:14:06,680 --> 00:14:12,040 markets go, it was actually a pretty nice. It was pretty nice. Yeah. Like usually flea markets are 242 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:18,200 pretty run down and there's a lot of sketchy people and always selling bootleg DVDs. And if you 243 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:23,560 don't know what bootleg DVDs are, that's when people go into the movie theaters and they record it on 244 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:29,080 camera, like with a video camera. This is before streaming now. Like if you have the streaming 245 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:34,520 service, it's pretty easy for you to get movies, but people would go and record the movie in the 246 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:40,360 movie theater with a video camera and then sell it before the movie actually came out on a DVD. 247 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:45,560 So that's actually how I watched Revenge of the Sith a couple of times. Like after I saw it in the 248 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:50,680 movie theater and then I was like, oh man, I can't wait until the movie came, movie comes out on DVD 249 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:55,400 and someone apparently had a bootleg copy and I watched it. It was still pretty good. Hey, 250 00:14:55,400 --> 00:15:00,120 you know, you got to do what you got to do. That's pretty, that's pretty nice. I got to end it on 251 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:06,280 another note here. One of the cool parts about it or one of the fun parts about it was when the 252 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:12,920 Crown Vic boys would roll up. You remember? Oh yeah. We got to tell about the Crown Vic boys. 253 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:19,400 Yeah, we can't leave it off without talking about the Crown Vic boys. So the Crown Vic boys was 254 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:25,160 exactly what it sounds. It was, they were all in Crown Victoria's, like the four Crown Victorias, 255 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:32,040 and they were all on 26s, like big rims. 26 inch rims. Yeah. And they were, you know, at the time, 256 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:37,720 like early on at the time, it was spinners. And then later on, the spinners changed to just regular 257 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:45,160 rims. But they would always have the Lambo doors, like the doors that always pop upwards. And it 258 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:50,040 was always like a big entrance whenever they would show up. And whatever reason, like they would come 259 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,760 there almost every weekend. Like they would just roll up on there every weekend. Yeah. And they 260 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,840 traveled together. There was like four or five of them or like four to six of them. And they like 261 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:04,680 traveling to get, so they like traveled as like a, like a crew. And that was like in the big era of 262 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:09,800 where having your car tricked out was like super cool. And so like they would ride up with like 263 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:15,720 blaring rap music. And so they were like a thing. It was pretty cool. It was a whole, it was a whole 264 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:21,000 entrance. Like everybody would stop and look at them. That's for sure. But yeah, even, even them 265 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,800 riding around town, they would be riding together. Like it was, it was interesting. Yeah. You could, 266 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:30,760 you could look in town and know where the Crown Vic boys were. That was pretty cool. I forgot about 267 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:35,880 though, them. Yeah. The Crown Vic boys. And then last but not least, some of the weird things we saw 268 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:41,560 on there. I remember there was, do you remember the zebra that came up there? They brought a, 269 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:47,480 were you there? I wasn't there for that. Oh, I think that was, oh boy, that was with, okay. 270 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:54,200 Anyways, but yeah, they pulled up with a zebra and I thought, okay, it's just a horse. But apparently 271 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,600 somebody had bought a zebra and they went and was shopping at the flea market. Of course, 272 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,000 that drew a lot of attention, right? I mean, zebra in the parking lot. Crazy stuff at the 273 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:08,200 flea market, man. Crazy stuff. We're going to move into the next segment and it's not the 274 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:13,880 Jaleigh donut this week. It's you're fired. You're fired. Oh, we're going to talk about people getting 275 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:19,000 fired, huh? But it's going to be interesting how they got fired or the dumbest reasons why they 276 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:24,200 got fired. So you ready for you fired? You're fired. Yes. I still want to find the Donald Trump 277 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:29,640 clip that says you're fired. Maybe I can record it. This one says this lady clocked in one minute 278 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:36,040 late at the Red Lobster. It was Easter Sunday and she had to fight her way through an army of pastel 279 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:40,840 hat wearing Karen's. That's funny to even get in the doors. So basically she's saying it was very 280 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:46,760 packed. The manager told me that they would let her finish her shift, but that was it. And then 281 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:52,360 so she was basically being told that the end of the shift she was going to get fired. So she said 282 00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:57,800 that she just walked out and considered herself fired. She says, I may or may not have liberated 283 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,760 a lobster from the lobster tank on the way out and yelled, he's coming out with me and then 284 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:08,840 it left one minute late. I mean, but it is Easter Sunday though. It's like a busy day and you're 285 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:13,240 like one minute late. Here's the thing. You work and maybe the manager would like forget about it. 286 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:18,840 You know what I mean? Here's my thing. Is that the full story? Because I've worked in retail. I've 287 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:24,200 worked in other places too. And sometimes what will happen is somebody has a history of being late, 288 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:30,040 history of being late. And it's just like, listen, it's Easter Sunday. I need you here 15 minutes 289 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:37,960 early. Like I like need you here even early that day. And it's like, so she shows up a minute late 290 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:44,440 or he shows up a minute late. And it's like nine oh one or whatever, you know, it's, it's like, okay, 291 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:49,480 I normally told you 15 minutes before, but I've told you in the past, like you never know. But 292 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,960 if it is just on the one minute thing, yeah, they tripped. Yeah, like you said, we don't know the 293 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,280 whole story. And that's how it is with a lot of these like, oh, we don't know the whole story. So 294 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:03,880 keep that in mind. All right, this next one, this person said, I got fired from my first ever job 295 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:09,400 as a counselor and training at the summer day camp that I went to every year as a kid. This person 296 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:16,760 was given the 67 year old group. And one of them asked if this person had a girlfriend. And the 297 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:21,480 girls are gross. Why would I ever do something like that sort of way? He was just like, oh, yeah, 298 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:27,480 of course I have a girlfriend, but girls are gross kind of a thing. Then the kid asked him if 299 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:34,280 he had ever kissed his girlfriend. And he said yes. And the kid was like, you gross. And then 300 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:39,480 everybody laughed about it. And the counselor was like, Oh, okay, that's all of it. Well, I guess 301 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:45,080 the kid went home and told his mom that night. And the lady freaked out. And she demanded that the 302 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:51,560 counselor be fired for teaching her child about sex and giving details of the counselor sex life to 303 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:57,960 her child. The guy was 13 at the time when this happened. He said, all I said was that I kissed 304 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:03,160 a girl and the camp fired him right then and there. So I could understand if it was like an adult, 305 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:08,360 but this kid was like 13. So of course at 13, you were like, yeah, of course I have a girlfriend. 306 00:20:08,360 --> 00:20:13,480 Of course I kissed her. And it's not like he was like, Oh, and here's what we did. And it was like 307 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:18,920 all graphic or nothing. I mean, honestly, it just sounded like he just said, you know, like, Oh, 308 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:25,560 yeah, we kissed. That's it. I can guarantee you if you hang out with any kid for any amount of time, 309 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:31,160 they're going to ask if you're married or if you have kids. I promise you it may be even like within 310 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:37,080 the first like 10 minutes kids ask that stuff all the time. Kids are nosy. That's what they are. 311 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:42,120 They know he is messed up. I ask you everything about your life. They'll interrogate the mess out 312 00:20:42,120 --> 00:20:47,160 of you. All right, next one. This person got a mid level position at the company where this company 313 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:53,960 apparently boasted at how family oriented they are. He said this is the kind of company that has 314 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:59,240 a small arcade, a pup putt and ping pong table at the office and it encouraged people to relax 315 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:04,040 and play with them. After a month of being there, this person decided to play with some co workers 316 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:09,320 and ping pong since they're pretty decent at it. The owner and his son ended up walking through 317 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:16,840 the doors and they challenged this guy to a ping pong match. This guy says he played the sun and 318 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:22,360 absolutely demolished him. The sun got extremely upset and walked away after throwing the paddle at 319 00:21:22,360 --> 00:21:26,760 the guy. Later that week, he was fired for not fitting in the culture. What are you supposed 320 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:31,400 to do? Let him win? I mean, but maybe like not demolish him. You know what I mean? It's like the 321 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,880 owner son, but at the same time, it's like that sounds pretty stereotypical. Again, we also don't 322 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:42,680 know the full story. Like, did he was he like a was he a bad winner? You know, boom in your face. 323 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:50,680 It's just like you may own the company, but I own you stuff like that. All right, you're buying. 324 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:55,400 All right, two more. This person got fired from a McDonald's for asking too many customers how 325 00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:00,680 their day was going. Not because it slowed anything down. Mind you, I only did when it was slow. They 326 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:05,480 put in complaints to corporate that I was being invasive. The first time I thought my manager 327 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:12,680 was making a joke. So did the customers say that they were being invasive or did the co-workers 328 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,760 say that they were being because maybe they were being a little invasive? If you got complaints 329 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,640 about it, no one puts complaints about someone that's saying, oh, how's your day going? Yeah, 330 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:26,840 maybe he's asking some weird out of bounds questions. Like, I mean, that's my thing. Have you seen 331 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:33,720 that little video short about the my country buffet in the 90s where it's like, how's your day going? 332 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,800 And it's like the guy at the buffet asking really weird questions. Maybe it was something like that. 333 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:44,040 Yeah, maybe it was the delivery. I don't know. Some people are really weird about the questions they 334 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:50,280 ask. So yeah. All right, last one. And I think you're going to get a good kick out of this because 335 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:59,240 this reminds me of caveman. The boss didn't know how to use a measuring tape. And they, yeah. 336 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:05,160 And apparently the boss fired some fire this person for cutting the lumber to the wrong size, 337 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:11,400 quote unquote, to his measurements. So it was like the boss didn't know how to use the tape 338 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:16,840 measure and he got fired for cutting it to the wrong size. That sounds like caveman, doesn't it? 339 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:22,520 Yes, it does. In fact, they didn't let that dude measure anything. I'll just let you know that 340 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:29,560 they didn't let him measure anything or cut anything. He was a porter and a, you know, 341 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:34,040 he like screwed things into place. That's what they did with him. They made sure that he did 342 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:39,240 task. He couldn't mess up. It's like, okay, it's like when Dwight is a quote unquote, steering 343 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:44,040 the ship on the booze cruise. It's like you make a thing. He's doing something, but he's really 344 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,760 not. It's like you're a senior member. You've been here a long time and really he's not doing 345 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:53,640 he's not doing any of the important work. Well, that's it. Well, we're going to move right into 346 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:59,000 our next segment, which is, you know, we like to play games and you know, we like to do quizzes. 347 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:04,200 So I got a quiz for you. Oh man. What's the quiz this week? The quiz is animated movies. So not 348 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:10,200 just Disney movies, but Dreamworks movies as well. And don't worry. I didn't ask any questions about 349 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,200 any movies that you haven't seen. So like none of the new stuff, because I know you haven't seen 350 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:21,960 any of the new stuff. So most of these questions are about movies that you probably have seen. 351 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,600 I recently saw one on Disney. It was called Elemental. It was actually pretty good. 352 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:33,240 Surprisingly. But are you ready for our quiz? Yeah. What was the last movie that the person Walt 353 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:41,800 Disney made while he was alive? A. The Ristakats. B. Peter Pan. C. The Jungle Book. Or D. Robin Hood. 354 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:46,680 You know, that's a good question. I don't know why, but I want to say it now. It can't be a close 355 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:54,840 to the old. Walt is still alive. Yeah. Like the last one that he made before he died. Or was 356 00:24:54,840 --> 00:25:05,880 cryogenically frozen. Yeah. That's a joke. Let's go Jungle Book. That is actually correct. He died 357 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:12,360 in the middle of, passed away in the middle of making that film. So pretty good. What was Dreamworks 358 00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:18,360 first animated film? So Dreamworks, people from Disney actually left Disney and they went to go 359 00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:26,040 start Dreamworks. What was their first animated film? A. The Prince of Egypt. B. Ants. C. Chicken Run. 360 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:31,080 Or D. Shrek. It wasn't Shrek. Was it Prince of Egypt? Hold on. 361 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:38,120 And. The little ants. Which one came first? I feel like it was, you don't know whether it was, but it's 362 00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:44,040 the one that came first that. I'm going to go with Prince of Egypt. Man, that's the one I thought it 363 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:49,800 was at first too, but it's actually ants. And the tricky thing about that is, is that ants came out 364 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:54,440 like two or three months right before Prince of Egypt. That's what I thought because I was like, 365 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:59,240 it's all kind of right there at the same time. Beauty of the Beast takes place in what country? 366 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:06,920 A. Germany. D. England. C. Scotland. Or D. France. It's France. That is correct. Good job. 367 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:15,080 All right. Next one. Which Dreamworks movie was inspired by the movie The Great Escape? 368 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:22,440 A. Chicken Run. B. The Road to El Dorado. C. The Little Mermaid. Or D. Ants. I'm going to do Chicken Run. 369 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,640 Yeah. Have you actually seen Chicken Run? Yeah. I've seen Chicken Run. I'll tell you what. I didn't 370 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:34,760 mind Chicken Run, but I remember then we had to watch like, have you ever seen Wallace and Gromit? 371 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:41,560 It was like the same creators that. Yeah. I'm not a fan of that Wallace and Gromit. I wasn't either. 372 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:46,520 And so, but Chicken Run was kind of the only thing in that segment that I liked, if that makes 373 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:52,600 sense. Kind of that claymation style. Wallace and Gromit is like more British humor. And I feel like 374 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:58,680 with Chicken Run, they at least do have some of the American humor because the main guy is American. 375 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:05,240 So, I don't know. All right. Which Disney animated movie saved Walt Disney Studios from financial 376 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:13,320 ruin in the 1980s? A. The Aristocats. B. The Great Mouse Detective. C. Robin Hood. Or D. The Rescuers. 377 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:19,880 Robin Hood? No. It's actually The Great Mouse Detective. So, yeah. Disney, Walt Disney was 378 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:25,240 tanking like really bad in the 80s. Was The Great Mouse Detective. Help you save it. Turn 379 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,880 around. Have you seen The Great Mouse Detective? Remind me what it's about. Maybe. I've seen so 380 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:36,440 many movies that have mouse license. It's basically Sherlock Holmes, but he's a mouse. And he has to 381 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:44,840 go help save this girl's, this girl's father who got captured by Rattigan, the big old rat. Oh, 382 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:52,280 yeah. No, I do remember that. I've not thought about that in years. Yeah, that's, dang, okay. You 383 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,200 unlocked a bit of memory there. I probably haven't seen that since I was probably like 384 00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:01,240 44 years old. But yes, I have seen that. I unlocked a core memory for you. The Great 385 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:06,040 Mouse Detective. Yes. Live on the podcast. There you go. That's what I'm here for. That's why I'm 386 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:13,480 your friend. Val Kilmer. Sorry. Val Kilmer played the lead role in which Dreamworks movie. A. Shrek. 387 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:21,000 D. Ants. C. The Road to El Dorado. Or D. The Prince of Egypt. Oh man. Wasn't it The Road to El Dorado? 388 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:29,480 It's actually The Prince of Egypt. Oh man. Okay. Val Kilmer was Moses. Was he really? Yes, 389 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:35,000 that's who's in it. He's the voice of Moses. That movie, I'm telling you, that movie has one of the 390 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:41,400 best soundtracks ever. Yes, it does. Yes, it does. It's so good. And as all-star cast, it's got Ralph 391 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:49,400 Phineas and Michelle Piper and Jeff Coldbloom, Sandra Bullock. It's that. Yeah, it's got everybody in there. 392 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:56,280 Number seven. Which 90s Disney movie started the tradition of featuring a major comedian in its 393 00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:03,160 animated movies? A. The Little Mermaid. B. Beauty and the Beast. C. Aladdin. Or D. The Lion King. 394 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:08,920 Trying to think of the timelines here. That's the hard part is it's like, you know, you think about 395 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,240 all the different movies and you're like, it just depends on which. Because I want to say Lion King. 396 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:20,040 It's actually Aladdin. So Aladdin with Robin Williams, he started the trend. And now if you look at 397 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:25,480 the Disney movies, there's a major comedian and almost every one of them from that point on. This 398 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:31,480 one's going to be hard, maybe a little bit, because I've only seen the first one. How many Shrek movies 399 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:39,160 are there total? How many do they make? A. Three. I might actually get this right. B. Five. C. Six. 400 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:45,240 Or D. Four. Now are we counting the... We're not counting like the Puss in Boots. We're just talking 401 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:50,440 about strictly Shrek. Because Puss in Boots is like its own spin-off movie. I'm going to go with 402 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:57,240 two to five or six. Because anyways, I'm going to go five. It's actually four. I thought there was 403 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:02,680 more than that. It's actually four. There must have been some other side movies. Because I thought... 404 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,760 I thought there was more than that. I thought there was a fifth one. Yeah, I think there's some more 405 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:13,320 side movies for sure. Maybe that's what it is. All right. Because wasn't there like Shrek happily 406 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,800 ever after or whatever? I thought that was a fourth one. I don't know. Too many. They went to the... 407 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:24,840 They went for the money pod a little too many times. Number nine. Who voices Hades in Disney's 408 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:31,800 Hercules? Who's the voice of Hades? A. Billy Crystal. B. James Woods. C. Gilbert Godfrey. 409 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:38,840 Or D. Jerry Seinfeld. Is it James Woods? James Woods. Yep. It is James Woods. That's actually 410 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:44,600 the only movie that I like James Woods in. I think Family Guy turned me off of James Woods. 411 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:50,040 I hate James Woods because of Family Guy. I think that's the only reason I don't like James Woods. 412 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:57,320 I'm kind of the same way. All right. Number 10. Last one. Phil Collins did the soundtrack for which 413 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:05,880 animated movie? A. Toy Story. B. Tarzan. C. Lion King. Or Defining Nemo. It was Tarzan, which I will 414 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:11,640 say this. That was a good soundtrack too. Phil Collins did a good job on that. That was a good 415 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:18,760 soundtrack. Do you remember our little friend Zacharotea Cheese? Whenever he was sad, he was 416 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:26,360 singing that song from Tarzan. You'll be in my heart. Yes. Yes, I do. I don't know why, but that 417 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:31,880 always makes me think of it. Tarzan the movie was like, okay, the soundtrack is like, I feel like 418 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:38,440 it's way better. Yeah. But then again, Phil Collins is just, he's pretty good. Yes, sir. All right. 419 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:43,240 That was pretty good. See, you knew a lot more than you thought you did. Yeah. Yeah. You're right. 420 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:48,360 I knew most of the movie. Yeah. I guess every movie that we talked about, I had seen. Yeah. I tried 421 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:54,040 not to make it too hard for you, but we're going to move into our next segment, which is, What 422 00:31:54,040 --> 00:32:00,920 Fries My Donuts? Micah. What's got you going, buddy? Oh, so this one's kind of a media one, but 423 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:07,800 man, I can't stand watching people follow the toxic traps over and over and over again. That's why 424 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:13,480 I like to stay off of social media because, you know, you'd be, sometimes you'd be watching people's 425 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:19,480 life unfold in front of their face, you know, and some of it, can you give me an example? 426 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:30,760 Yeah. So it's like, say, say somebody, say it's a lady gets divorced from this really awful husband 427 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:36,840 figure and post all this stuff. And it's just like, he was terrible to me and my kid and bloody, 428 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:44,200 bloody, bloody, and next thing you know, it's like some time passes and then they're back together 429 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:51,160 and you're sitting here going, hold on. Why don't we just keep on going back to that? And you can 430 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:56,280 tell it's not a good thing. Like you could tell in the pictures in the post, you could tell it 431 00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:01,800 ain't no good thing that they ain't happy with nothing that they can't stand in life. So why 432 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:08,280 do it over and over again? Go out there and find you, you know, you dude or your lady or, you know, 433 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:13,400 find a better situation for yourself. Whatever the case may be, whether that's work or whether that's 434 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:19,640 school or, you know, if it's a lot of times we just keep on putting ourselves through this stuff 435 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:24,680 over and over again, even though we're uncomfortable and unhappy with it. Now, that's not to say that 436 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:29,640 if you're uncomfortable with everything, you should just change it or quit it. But what I'm saying is, 437 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:34,840 you know, if there's something that's bad for you, if that dude or that woman is not good for you, 438 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:40,680 don't just keep on going back to it. Look for something else, you know, you know, keep, if 439 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:46,600 you keep doing something and expectation of a different result, that's insanity. Don't be insane. 440 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:54,680 Does this hit a little really close to home for you? Maybe a little bit, but, but, hey, and I will 441 00:33:54,680 --> 00:34:00,680 say this as a person that has gone through that, what's very important is if you are finding yourself 442 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:07,240 in that cycle is to not get isolated from your support system and your friends because your 443 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:12,600 friends nine times out of 10, they see it and they're saying, don't do it. Don't do it. But what 444 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:19,560 do we do? We don't listen to them. I mean, Micah has told me millions of times, don't do it. It's 445 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:25,560 not a good idea. I don't listen, right? Luckily, thank God, you know, that I have a friend like 446 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:31,960 Micah, a good support system. But yeah, man, it is hard sometimes, but at the same time, it's like, 447 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:37,720 I don't like people that complain about it, but don't do anything about it. That's what I don't 448 00:34:37,720 --> 00:34:41,560 like. Well, and that's, that's, I guess that's the biggest thing that I'm saying to like, you know, 449 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:45,800 and a lot of the times you see it on social media, like I said, where they'll post something and it's 450 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:51,160 just like, Oh, I made it out of an abusive situation or I made it out of, you know, whatever 451 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:57,000 situation. And then you look and you're like, so you brought you and I'm not trying to judge anybody 452 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,680 because I don't know anybody situation. But at the same time, you're looking on the outside end 453 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:06,840 going, I don't know, a few weeks ago, it was a very dire and terrible situation where you just 454 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:13,960 being dramatic. Or was it actually a really bad situation? If so, why the heck are you back? 455 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:20,040 Like figure out some other way. If it's truly something that's bad, I don't know. It's just 456 00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:26,600 it's really hard for me to feel bad if you're going to complain. And, you know, 457 00:35:27,240 --> 00:35:32,280 like Chris said, not really do anything about it or just keep putting yourself in the same situation 458 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:38,280 over again. Yeah, exactly. It's like what Kat Williams said. If you 25 and you still posted 459 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:44,280 that men ain't nothing or that women are all dogs, it's like, no, all the men you mess with 460 00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:51,000 are dogs. It's like, all men ain't dogs. It's all the men that you mess with. It's like, maybe you 461 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:57,240 need to take a look at yourself. That keeps you, what's what's making you keep attracted to these 462 00:35:57,240 --> 00:36:02,360 these losers and these bumps. I'm not going to quote it word for word. You can go watch a special 463 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:08,200 because he says some things that I can't say on family. But he puts his point across. I'm like, 464 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:14,440 yeah, don't be complaining. Oh man, all men are dogs. Oh man, men are worthless. It's like, no, 465 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:19,800 all the men you mess with. But then again, here's what here's what gets all my sorry, this one gets 466 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:24,600 all my nerves. You all want to be complaining about it. But then when you got a good nice guy, 467 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:29,160 you'd be like, Oh yeah, he was nice and he was good, but he not husband energy. I'm like, 468 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:33,960 he's a nice guy. He treats you nice. He doesn't call you fat. Like what's wrong with them? It's 469 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:38,920 because they don't want that. It's because they got that anyways, we can go all in on that one 470 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:43,720 before you segue into it. You know what this brought up to me? This brought up to me when we 471 00:36:43,720 --> 00:36:49,320 used to say, I've been noticing something about you a trend if you will. If you will. We used to 472 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:54,040 say that all the time. We would be like, I've been noticing something about you a trend if you 473 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:58,680 will. That was like our catchphrase for the longest time. We're just unlocking core memories today. 474 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:05,800 I don't know what it is, but it's working. So but yeah, it's, I don't know that's such as it makes 475 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:11,160 you real upset. It just it's just like, man, I don't understand why you'd be doing that. But 476 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:18,120 it is what it is. I mean, you can't live people's lives for them. But at the same time, just I'm 477 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:25,400 just asking you on behalf of us, just don't be insane out there. Don't keep going back expecting 478 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:30,680 somebody to change or a situation to change when you know what it is. Because if you know what it 479 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:38,280 is, it is what it is. So nothing's going to change. Yep. I can say a lot more, but I'm not going. 480 00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:43,080 It's like we can make a whole episode on just that topic right there. Shall we go to the improv 481 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:50,840 segment? I think we shall. Reginald. Oh, right. It's a fail field. Random random story. Lubbock 482 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:56,920 airport one time. I had to drive these pilots and flight attendants over to the plane that was 483 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:01,640 waiting for them. And for whatever reason, they were like, we're going to call you Reginald, 484 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:08,040 and you're going to be our chauffeur. And the whole entire time they were like, Reginald. And 485 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:13,560 I don't know, that was an interesting time. That would get on my nerves. Oh, it kind of did. But 486 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:19,480 I mean, it was a car full of flight attendant. So I kind of wasn't upset about it. Classic 18 year 487 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:28,440 old Micah. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, again, lock unlocking core memories. So let's do our improv 488 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:35,080 segment or our mystery. And what are we going to do? We are going to do the randomize. Okay, 489 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:42,920 let's go. Let's pick three things. A profession, setting and a mood. Okay. So what we're going to 490 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:49,880 do is I'm going to do a profession in a location doing something. That's what we're going to do. 491 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:58,360 So the profession is an architect. Okay, I can get with that. And the architect is on a private 492 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:05,640 island doing the dishes doing the dishes on a private island. Okay, well, that works. I guess 493 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:10,360 architects are boring. All right. So yeah, we can go for it. You want to start or you want me to 494 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:20,680 start? You can start. Well, let me say this. I just finished the new building at 43 West Avenue 495 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:27,080 in New York Center. Have you seen? Have you seen it looks like a shard of glass? Oh, Reginald, 496 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:34,920 Reginald Fairfield. Do you see the architectural structure of this hair BNB? It reminds me quite 497 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:42,680 of the Spanish Aztec design that I that I designed back in Phoenix, Arizona. Now that you pulled 498 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:48,760 out your British accent, I got to do it too. I have seen and one time I shall say is it was 499 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:57,480 not too good. Last I would like to point out is the angles are just not what you would think an 500 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:04,040 angle for that kind of building would be. Reginald, could you please hand me the dish soap so that I 501 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:10,680 can wash these dishes? Well, now you have kind of a cockney thing going on. Oh, Reginald, if I had 502 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:17,000 asked you to analyze my accent, you wouldn't be an architect, would you? You would have gone to school 503 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:21,720 for something else. Did I ask for you to be a linguist? No, I didn't. Now please hand me the 504 00:40:21,720 --> 00:40:27,800 bloody dish soap so that I can wash these bloody dishes. I will say this. Being an architect can 505 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:34,280 be a little hard, a little hard and deep. Because the thing is it makes you want to drink that. 506 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:40,120 Oh, Reginald, could you please open up the rubbish can so that I may scrape off these eggs into the 507 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:46,840 rubbish? That's something I never understood. Why everybody says rubbish. Why rubbish? It is just 508 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:54,040 poor taste. Now, Reginald, you're a bloody Brit, aren't you? You wanker? Please hand me the dishes 509 00:40:54,040 --> 00:41:00,440 so that I can scrape off these eggs off onto the plate. I very much would not like egg residue 510 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:05,080 while I'm trying to eat my fishing cheat. Who's an alien, bloody wanker? You could have called me a wanker. 511 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:13,400 Oh, Reginald, do you think that this air BNP is structurally sound? I never saw crack over there 512 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:20,440 in the living room. Oh, well, I'll just say this. Would you like a spot of tea? Ah, yes, 513 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:26,600 mighty good, my chap. I would most well enjoy a glass of tea. Oh, get it yourself, you bloody wanker. 514 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:32,280 Last time I get you, bloody tea. I'm going to put these dishes away and I'm going out for a nice 515 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:38,840 stroll on the beach. I shall see you at second breakfast. Yeah, I'll see you too, bloody wanker. 516 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:45,320 That was our improv segment. I don't, I love how they just kept evolving and changing over the time, 517 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:50,600 man. I don't know. I don't know why. Why am I mind? I thought an architect was going to be British. 518 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:55,560 Yeah, I don't know, but you cracked out the British accent. I had to crack mine out. 519 00:41:55,560 --> 00:42:00,760 And then next thing you know, it just kept changing. And listen, you know, sometimes the 520 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,680 Cogni has to come out a little bit. Sometimes you have to call it to the bloody wankers. 521 00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,760 We'll see. We'll see. They're, uh, they're from a certain part of Britain that they're from, 522 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:14,520 not from London. They're not refined. So sometimes the Cogni accent comes out every now and then. 523 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:19,640 You know, you got to, it's kind of like, it's kind of like me and Chris. It's like we come from 524 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:24,600 Southern humble beginnings, but you don't want to let that thing out. You know what I mean? 525 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:30,120 You don't want to let it off the loose off the chain. You can if you want, but you don't want to. 526 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:34,520 Yep. There's a whole bunch of accents that always come out for me because I'm always 527 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:40,200 doing voices or characters or whatever. But, uh, you know, it's all good. My wife sometimes gets 528 00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:45,160 upset about it. Not really upset, but she just is like kind of rolls her eyes and she just puts 529 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:50,440 up with it. But I have to remind her. I'm like, you know, how many times do you think Andy Serkis 530 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:54,920 did the smiggle voice in front of his wife? You know, like the smiggle voice had to come out of 531 00:42:54,920 --> 00:43:00,040 somewhere and I'm pretty sure his wife maybe got annoyed with it. But you just have to, you know, 532 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:04,600 because that's a pretty creepy voice. Oh yeah, it is. Okay. So we're going to divulge before the 533 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:11,560 Eclare. What is the one that your wife does not like the absolute most? Uh, do you want me to 534 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:16,600 do it here on the podcast? Yeah, like do the voice? Sure. Go for it. Hey there, buddy. This is your 535 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:23,960 friend, Chuckles. It's time to come out and play. She doesn't like Chuckles. Yeah. I, you know, 536 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:30,360 I get that. Um, apparently my wife, she doesn't like one thing in particular and it's my evil 537 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:39,800 witch laugh. Like sometimes or I'll, oh yeah, I do that too. Do it. You sound like a freaking flying 538 00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:47,000 monkey. That's what you sound like. He's a flying monkey. All right, we got to move into our Eclare. 539 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:54,280 No, stop. Let's stop monkeying around and uh, move into our flying monkey. Yeah, we're going to 540 00:43:54,280 --> 00:44:00,280 move into our Eclare, which is our positive advice and uh, Micah, I think it's your turn to go first. 541 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:04,520 I don't remember who went first last week, but take it away. Yeah, it doesn't matter. All right, so 542 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:11,960 my Eclare this week is, uh, it's a little bit about reflecting on your past and seeing how far you come. 543 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,880 You know, sometimes a lot of people say, you know, don't reflect on your past too much, 544 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:22,280 but it's good to reflect and see where you've come from. Um, so I was talking to a coworker of mine 545 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:27,640 the other day and have you ever met somebody who is, uh, not from the, you know, they're not from 546 00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:33,240 the United States, um, or maybe they're from a part of the United States that isn't really, uh, 547 00:44:33,240 --> 00:44:39,080 affluent and is a little impoverished. And, uh, you know, I was talking to her and she was just so 548 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:44,520 grateful. She was just so grateful to be alive. She was just so grateful to have this job. And, 549 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:49,320 you know, it was interesting because you could tell when people are just kind of blowing smoke or 550 00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:55,000 just saying something just to kind of say it and you're like, okay, sure, whatever. Right. But then 551 00:44:55,640 --> 00:45:02,200 this person, there that one in a few, you know, she was going on and on in the meeting about 552 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:09,560 how, you know, this job really helped her, uh, in her time of need because she just was in a 553 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:15,400 really down and out situation. And if it wasn't for the job, uh, helping her get up day to day, 554 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:21,160 you know, it, you know, no tellings where she would be. And she was talking about where she 555 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:27,960 came from and, you know, the fact that she didn't have like hot water and things like that. And, 556 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:32,200 you know, just some of these luxuries that we take for granted every day, she didn't have those 557 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:36,680 things. And she was just, again, she was just so grateful of like, man, it's so great that I get to 558 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:42,360 live here and we have all these luxuries. I could order food at my fingertips and have it here at 559 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:47,080 my house in just a few minutes. Like I have the opportunity to go to work and make money and make 560 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:52,360 good money, you know, if I want to or have a choice in what job that I have. And, you know, 561 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:59,480 it was just, it's just amazing. Um, and, you know, we all, you know, maybe it's not to that extent, 562 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:05,800 but we all have things that we've come out of, right? We've all had things that we've looked into 563 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:11,960 and, or, you know, we can look back in and say, man, I came a long way since that point, right. 564 00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:18,840 And so this Eclare is dedicated to those who's come through a lot, but you're on the other side of it. 565 00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:25,960 And, you know, man, you've done good. Now you get to look back and see all the benefits that, 566 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:30,280 you know, you've reaped over the time. Like Drake said, started from the bottom. Now we're here. 567 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:35,640 Now you're right, man, because we really do forget all that we've been blessed with, especially here 568 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:40,920 in America, man. And I know I'm guilty of that. So yeah, remember where you came from for sure. 569 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:45,720 My name is, man, just be a trustworthy person. You know, there is nothing bigger 570 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:51,480 that breaks down trust is if you're not pulling your weight. When you're not being honest with 571 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:57,160 people, when you don't do what you say you're going to do, when you don't show up to work on time, 572 00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:02,520 or you don't even pull your weight, man, like that breaks down trust. And like trust is a big deal with, 573 00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:08,360 you know, people in your relationships, people in life. So just be a person of your word. You know, 574 00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:12,600 the Bible says, let your yes be yes and let your no be no. So that means like, don't tell people 575 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:18,120 you're going to do something and then don't do it. So just make sure that you are honoring your 576 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:22,600 commitments, honoring your word, doing all that good stuff, because that's how you help build 577 00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:29,080 trust with people. And so trust is, you know, it takes a long time to build, but it can be easily 578 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:35,160 broken in a minute. So, but yeah, just be a trustworthy person. So that's all I got. 579 00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:40,200 Absolutely, man. All right, then I'm going to plug all the good stuff.
