Yeah, well, we'll get to how it was a bad time for you here in here in a little bit 61 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,360 Okay, so to start off. I had this car and 62 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,240 This 63 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaking of the person who passed away it happens to be my wife's grandmother. May she rest in peace 64 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,160 We actually wanted to come down to San Antonio when we were living in Lubbock and visit the city 65 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,600 We would come down periodically. Well the car that I had 66 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,120 Just days before broke down like the car broke down and so 67 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:17,200 Have you ever had one of those times Christopher where your your car breaks down and 68 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,480 It's like, okay. Well while I'm at it. I might as well. There was some other routine maintenance items 69 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,080 If I'm gonna spend the money 70 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,080 I might as well just spend all the money 71 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,680 At one time and try to get it all taken care of and I'm gonna try to get it all taken care of 72 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,720 At one time and try to get it all taken care of at one go 73 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,760 Even if it's just regular routine maintenance like oil change changing the brakes, whatever, right? 74 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,840 You just try to get that all done in one go. So to try to get down there 75 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,960 Um, the problem I was having with the car was I had a radio like the radiator was out 76 00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:52,160 And so the car kept overheating and I know you've had some fun times with that. Have you not Christopher? 77 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,480 Yes, I have and to go back to your point 78 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,560 I I actually had that 79 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:02,160 Happened where the car was overheating and I was 30 minutes away from home and I took it to the mechanic because I was like, hey 80 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,240 I'm taking a trip in a couple weeks 81 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,520 This is what I'm worried about. I'm worried about it overheating. Is it gonna be okay for me to take on this trip? 82 00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:14,000 They said yes, and it overheated and it basically almost died 83 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:20,640 In houston and so I was pretty mad that they told me that it would make it but anyways back to your story. Yeah, heck yeah 84 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,640 um now 85 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:23,760 radiator 86 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:29,200 Is no fun overheating car is one of the worst things that you can ever experience 87 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,840 Not just because it's if you've never had it happen consider yourself lucky 88 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:35,360 um 89 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:41,040 But it's it's not just the fact that it's uh piece of your car going out and your car is not running like it should 90 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,120 I mean your car is literally overheating so you smell burning 91 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:51,920 You you like it's and there's smoke billowing a lot of the time you open that hood and all this smoke be pouring out 92 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,880 It's not a fun time. We tried to fix the problem 93 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,400 um 94 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,880 At first we thought it was some hoses right we saw one hose was busted and so 95 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:06,160 You know I I like to work on my own vehicles and so I thought I could fix it 96 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,720 So I said, you know what let me try to replace these hoses 97 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,440 So I did replace the hoses and I mean it was a pain in the rear end man 98 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:20,000 It was a pain in the rear end and then I also replaced the serpentine belt because it really needed to be replaced and um 99 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:27,840 If you've ever replaced a serpentine belt, it's really really hard sometimes because you have to release the tension and all this other stuff 100 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,280 I won't go into that 101 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:36,480 But essentially it took me I ordered a certain serpentine belt and you can't drive a car without one on your vehicle 102 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,240 And I bought a wrong size online 103 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,240 um 104 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,800 Because if not for whatever reason this car 105 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:46,160 um 106 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:51,680 I had to get the it's either you buy the part online or I had to go to the dealership to get it 107 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,720 Like it was not a regular part that just auto zone carried, right? So 108 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:02,160 um, I ordered it online come to find out order a size too small 109 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,760 so I couldn't get it on there to save my life and 110 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,760 So I had to order another one long story short 111 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,960 It took a matter of three days to get all this maintenance done to get all the radiator parts done 112 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:21,840 To get all the hoses replaced to get the serpentine belt done and then I also changed the oil and changed the brakes 113 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,840 So pretty much man 114 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,760 It's like oh man this trip is not or this car is not only ready for this trip 115 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,880 You know it's extremely ready for this trip. You would think right? 116 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:32,640 and so 117 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:39,040 Anyways call her grandparents and say yeah, we'll be down there this weekend.

It wasn't as like swampy and 124 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:11,680 Super high humidity like that, but it is really hot like I mean it feels like an oven outside 125 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,720 It's like going into an oven. It's like somebody opened an oven and you're standing in front 126 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:22,400 That's what it feels you know, we'll talk about my wedding and those poor people had to stand outside in san Antonio in june 127 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,040 And that's what it was still semi-mild and it was still 128 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,800 um 129 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,760 Hot anyways, um, so coming down there 130 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,720 You know, it's it's midday and we're about midway through this journey and we've taken this journey 131 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,880 many many times so we're very familiar with the route and 132 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,000 You know, we've had all these problems with the car, right and 133 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,280 So all of a sudden we start here in this tapping noise 134 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,320 well, um 135 00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:52,560 Right a few weeks beforehand 136 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:58,000 One of the other problems I had with the car was the license plate holder in the front 137 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:05,200 Broke and for whatever reason it and so instead of getting a replacement for it. What I did was I just 138 00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:12,080 I I'll be honest I did a little bit of a jank job and I zipped hide the gotta love zip ties 139 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,440 I zipped hide it to the front 140 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,320 I've seen several people do that and by the way in texas 141 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,080 It it is required by law for you to have a license plate on the back of your 142 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:27,440 Car and in front of your car and they will pull you over very fast if you don't or even like I've had a vehicle before 143 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,440 In fact, it was that vehicle 144 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,200 um 145 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:36,800 I tried to put it in the mirror like the the front window and I get still got pulled over 146 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,920 They said it wasn't displayed properly in the front window like it has to be on the front front of the vehicle 147 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,320 anyways, um, so 148 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,120 I thought that the bottom of the license plate like maybe 149 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,320 um 150 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,440 The zip tie or something had come loose and it was tapping 151 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,160 And like really hard onto the front of the vehicle and that's what the flapping noise was 152 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,000 So I thought you know no big deal. We're going 70 miles down the road 153 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:08,560 The biggest concern I had was it's going to flap so hard that it's going to fly off and it's going to damage my car somewhere 154 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,040 Or it's going to fly off and go into the or whatever 155 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,200 So we were getting we're about 15 miles away from another town 156 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:20,480 And so I said you know what like well once we get to that next town I'll pull into a gas station and I'll fix it 157 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:26,320 So we're going down the road and the tapping gets stronger and stronger and stronger until finally 158 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:33,280 It starts getting really rapid and then finally to the point where it went cut pink and I heard like a big sound 159 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,280 And I what I thought was it sounded so strong 160 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:42,560 It sounded like the license plate had broke off at the front of the car went underneath the car 161 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,040 Hit a bunch underneath the car 162 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:52,800 And went back so I'm looking back down the road behind me thinking that my license plate is bent all out of shape back here somewhere 163 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,120 Right and I'm going to stop 164 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,760 I keep looking and nothing has happened 165 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,320 And by this point the car is not running like the engine has shut off 166 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,000 All the all the lights pop on and we're just rolling 167 00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:10,640 And I'm going up and that's not the license plate. That's something bigger 168 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:16,320 And what was we were on this curve and I'm sure you know exactly what curve I'm talking about 169 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:21,280 There's a big curve in the road and you have to take a right right there to go to Ballinger, Texas 170 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,360 And there's this big curve and we pulled over on the curve 171 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,960 And when I say this is the middle of nowhere like there's no houses for miles 172 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,720 It is farmers fields like there is nothing out there at all 173 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:36,400 and 174 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:43,600 It's super hot and we have a dog in the back of the car and you know can't run the car. So no ac 175 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,080 luckily 176 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,640 Luckily I had 177 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,520 Through my insurance. I had paid for roadside assistance. So I said, okay, no big deal 178 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,040 I'll just call my insurance company and get the roadside assistance 179 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,520 And they said, all right, no problem. So 180 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,800 They sent a guy out it took him two hours to get out there 181 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,720 So that was a little bit like two hours doesn't sound like a long time 182 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:12,240 But when you're in the Texas sun in a vehicle that and you can't get out because 183 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:17,760 What's on the right hand side here is a farmers field, right? And what's on the left hand side is a 184 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:23,360 Um, it's a highway in the middle of nowhere. Yes, but it's not like you want to go walking around on the highway 185 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:28,320 Right, there's truckers and everything else going and that's part of the reason you also don't want to get out either 186 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:34,080 You know these trucks going 70 miles an hour fling stuff up and you know, it could be dangerous 187 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,600 There's all sorts of stuff, right that could happen. So it's just like stay in the vehicle 188 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,040 We try to you know, have as much water as possible 189 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,840 Finally the tow truck driver gets out there. It drives us into town by this time 190 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:53,360 It's about five o'clock in the afternoon and if you know anything about Texas like four or five in the afternoon is like heat of the day 191 00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:56,960 that's when it gets that's it's been cooking all day 192 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:02,960 and the it doesn't start going getting cooler until the sun goes down and 193 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:09,040 We get to we get to the the town and we get to the mechanic shop 194 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,520 they get the car in there and 195 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,440 you know 196 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,440 I just remember they didn't have a lobby 197 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,440 So like imagine 198 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:22,160 It was so nice to get into this tow truck because it's like oh man, you got a c so nice 199 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:28,720 It's you know my my wife who is my girlfriend at the time and then you know our dog and we're like oh man 200 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:29,680 This is so nice 201 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:34,800 Then we get back into town and then we had to sit back outside in the heat again going okay 202 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:40,400 And then so right when we get there they like fill out we had to fill all this paperwork all this good jazz 203 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:42,960 Then they say okay, we're going 204 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,240 They all start packing up to go home 205 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,920 And it's like oh, yeah, it's it's five o'clock 206 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,440 And I'm going oh man.

So my wife and I we tried we started we haven't finished 349 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,440 Or a little over halfway through we watched Alpenheimer, which is uh, 350 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:14,000 The movie about the guy that made the atomic bomb. Yeah, so I thought it would be cool not World War two trivia 351 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:21,360 But just American history trivia in general. We've done it a couple of times, but uh, this is all different than the quizzes that we've had before 352 00:25:21,360 --> 00:25:27,760 So we'll see how well, you know, you're American history.

And so guy raised his hand his name and he's like, yeah, you know, we 447 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,160 We're having this problem 448 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:40,160 Because we have this big push having people come back to work into the office three days a week 449 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:46,720 And we're having problems with our agents and their lunch is getting stolen from the break room 450 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,720 I kid you not, bro. This is a full real life conversation 451 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,440 and so 452 00:32:53,840 --> 00:33:00,160 The first they they like somebody chimes in and says oh, okay. Well, here's what we should do 453 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,520 We need to have a system where it's 454 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:09,600 Where it's a sign-in system where there's a clipboard at the very front of the office 455 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,600 very front of the door to the break room 456 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:18,000 And you know, you have to sign in and sign out that way we can see who's been in and who hasn't been there 457 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,320 And so that suggestion goes out there and I'm like, well, that's kind of dumb 458 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:28,640 Why is that dumb because there is a camera that is literally in the corner of the room that faces the two fridges 459 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:35,440 To where you can see everything that's going on. So I go off of mute and say, hey, you know, why don't we just check the camera footage? 460 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:41,600 We have access to do that. Why don't we check the camera footage? We could see who's been stealing food and then we reprimand them for it 461 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,480 It goes quiet for a minute 462 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,200 And then they pick up with another idea. Here's the next idea 463 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,360 Here's what we'll do 464 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:56,960 We will have the sticky note system with a name and we'll have a lunch sign-out system 465 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:02,400 And basically what's going to happen is you'll have a sticky note with a number on it 466 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:08,480 And the sticky note with the number will coincide with a list that we have so we'll know if you're like no 467 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:13,920 I'll be number 76 and you know, we'll put that sticky note on there and it'll say 76 468 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,440 So we'll know, you know, that's so-and-so's lunch based on the list 469 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:23,200 And if we see it out on the floor, then we could say, oh, that's not your lunch because that's not your sticky note 470 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,320 Then they go, oh, no, no, no, no, no, that's not gonna work 471 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:33,360 Then they go to this and this was the the one that took the cake for me Christopher that really just got me going 472 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,080 they said 473 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,960 Our main man over here who's been working on innovation 474 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:48,240 Um, he has been working on this barcode system and Christopher as a man who used to be in the grocery industry 475 00:34:48,720 --> 00:34:51,040 Please tell me something because I think 476 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,160 And maybe I'm wrong, but I think 477 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:58,560 Barcodes have been around for quite a bit. This is not a new bit of technology, correct? 478 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:06,000 In fact, I think I remember being at Fort discovered the little science center and being able to scan barcodes back then 479 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,160 And that was in the early 2000s. I even remember it late in the early 480 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:17,920 Or in the late 90s when Walmart still had smiley faces in and uh, you know smiley face stickers and whatnot 481 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:25,920 But I digress so we're sitting there and let's have this barcode system and basically what we'll do is we'll have a 482 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,520 we'll need to get a tablet in there or something and 483 00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:36,320 Basically, we'll have these barcodes. They'll be the agent will be able to print this barcode 484 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:41,280 It'll be attached to them and then whenever they take their lunch out. We'll have a scanner in there 485 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:46,800 They'll scan the barcode. It'll go back to the tablet reader and it will say 486 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:51,440 Okay, so and so checked out their lunch that way we can keep account for it 487 00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:54,480 Mind you, this is 30 minute meeting 488 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,080 We have gotten all the way to this point. It is now 489 00:35:58,480 --> 00:35:59,520 127 490 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:06,160 Finally the boss chimes in and says, you know what? I think I like the idea about the camera the best 491 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:11,200 Let's just pull up the camera footage and watch the camera footage so 27 minutes 492 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:17,440 And we just went to one of the very original points about the camera footage and all this stuff 493 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:22,240 That because that really fries my donuts man because you know what the next thing was 494 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:29,440 A colleague who's also a very good friend of mine. He says yes, I you know because they said, okay 495 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,440 We have two minutes left 496 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:38,800 You know does anybody have something else to say and he had a very serious budgetary question that really needed in depth conversation 497 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,320 And they had two minutes and now he's got to wait a whole month 498 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,160 To get their attention again because we talked about 499 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,560 lunches being stolen and 500 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,800 cock-bull 501 00:36:50,800 --> 00:37:00,080 stories about oh your theories about oh, let's do sticky notes and barcodes and all this other it don't make sense man 502 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:04,560 That's what fries my donuts people are just wasting time. I don't know if it's on purpose or not 503 00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,400 But it that's just that's some garbage. I know it was a long story 504 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:15,360 But this is it blew my mind that this is what's happening in real life that we took 30 minutes to talk about something like this 505 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,040 Yeah, it's it's wild dude. It's always funny whenever like 506 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,560 We have stuff to do because whether it's moving or 507 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:27,120 Doing anything and I'm like if it has anything to pertain to me 508 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:31,200 I honestly just go do it on my own because I'm like I know what's gonna happen 509 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:38,000 There's gonna be about six of you that are just gonna stand around and discuss for 20 minutes about how we're gonna do this thing 510 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,880 Like I hate that crap. I'm like, let's just do it, bro. Like we're just gonna do I'm not gonna discuss 511 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:47,280 Like 20 minutes. I'm big stuff. Yes, but like on little stuff like that 512 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:53,120 Yeah, I hate that little stuff. It just it's time eaters. It's time wasters. It's like, why am I even in this? 513 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:57,360 Like, you know, I don't deny that it's a problem and I don't deny that there's you know, 514 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:03,360 There's some frustration there. I can understand. I've had my lunch stolen Chris's had his lunch stolen before it's not fun 515 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:09,120 Experience and it makes you very mad. So I understand why it's a problem. But you know, again, it's time and place 516 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:15,520 It's time and place. These are things that we can solve very easily outside of this meeting. Yeah, that could have been sent in an email 517 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:20,800 For sure. Yeah, it could have been done in the email chain. We could have figured it all out 518 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,640 But anyways, man, that's the stuff that fries me up and a lot of the times 519 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,440 You know and a lot of times these 520 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:33,360 Companies and a lot of these places that I've worked for that, you know, have these things go on they wonder why 521 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:39,360 It's like, why are we not as productive as we could be? I can tell you why it's for your things like that. And so 522 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,840 And again, it's always when you have 523 00:38:42,240 --> 00:38:46,720 A ton of stuff to do is when these things come about and you're going I don't have time for this 524 00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:53,760 I don't have time for 30 minutes about pontificating about this stuff. But anyways, man, that that's what fries my donuts and 525 00:38:54,720 --> 00:38:59,040 BM and that's what fries my donuts. Yeah, well, let's move into the next segment 526 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:03,920 Which is the mystery donut and that's our improv segment.
