Welcome to the Terry Ringer show and here's your host Terry Ringer.
Okay, okay, okay. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Okay, our guest today says she's tired of her relationship and she's ready to take a stand now.
Chandra, what does that mean?
Listen here, Terry. I'm here today because I'm trying to make a change in my life.
See, I've been with my man for three years and I got something to tell him today.
Oh really? Well, you're gonna get that opportunity to tell him but before we bring him out, what are you gonna tell him?
Well, I've been with my boyfriend, my boyfriend, Deondre for three years.
I also been with his brother, Torell, for three years and a month.
So I was messing with his brother a month before we even got together.
Guess what? I got two twin boys and Torell might be the father of one of them.
Let me ask you a question. Why have all of these other men, when you say you love your main man here?
Deondre, he like my bread and butter but you know you gotta get a dessert every now and then.
You gotta sneak off and get a little ice cream cone. You can't just stay with the bread and butter all the time.
You gotta have a main dish, side piece and dessert.
We have both your main squeeze, Deondre and whatever the other dude's name was all in the back.
We're gonna bring them all out right now. Let's bring them out.
Hi, I'm Chris and I'm Michael and this is the Dona Box Podcast.
Yes, on the day that we record this, he has passed on at the age of 79.
May he rest in peace, the godfather of trash can TV. Well, I mean not like our brand trash can TV, but you get it.
I would like to say a couple of words if that's okay.
Please do, sir. Please do.
Jerry, you were there for us when we had tough times.
You were there for us when we were sick and had to stay home from school.
Oh yeah.
You were there for us on wedding days, Easter, Christmases, Thanksgiving and a lot of holidays.
Thanks for always being there for us, Jerry Springer. May you rest in peace. Amen.
It's our 75th episode, man. I'm saying 75 on season two.
We get in there, but yeah, what a way to start off 75 with a tribute to Jerry Springer, the man, the myth, the legend.
Anyways, we just want to thank everybody. Oh my gosh, hold on.
Sorry.
So we just want to thank everybody that's been listening from all around the United States and around the world.
Man, we've got so many countries popping up on the map. It ain't even funny. List some of those for us.
Yeah, we have Belgium. Gotta love Belgium. We have Spain, France, UK, England.
We have India. We have actually Singapore, Australia, Saudi Arabia.
Guess what? We got another listener in Canada, Vancouver, actually.
Oh, Canada. Hey, we're gaining steam all over the place. Trash can international. You know how that goes.
But yeah, man, just super happy to be here again on the 75th episode.
So let's get right to it with our old fashioned doughnut.
And normally that is a story from our past, but this time we're going to break off and do kind of stories from our past.
And both Chris and I have both done the Uber driving venture together.
Chris has done people and food. I've done mainly food.
We actually did food delivery together before.
And so we got some stories, but man, we'll start off with what do you want to start off with, man?
We'll take a story from you. What kind of crazy story you have from Uber days?
Well, I'll save the craziest one for last, but you always meet different types of people
when you Uber and pick up. And you never know. And I'm the type that I like to make small talk.
I like to talk with people. So I pick up this lady. She brings a double bag into the car,
which is not abnormal. And she has a first pickup or first drop off is Starbucks.
So she has a two drop off location. And first one is Starbucks who we're talking.
And she goes and gets her Starbucks. And after she gets her Starbucks, we're talking.
It's like, oh, yeah, like what do you do? And she was like, oh, well, I'm a dancer.
And I was like, oh, do you do like ballet and stuff?
She was like, I'm not that kind of dancer. Turns out she was an adult entertainment stripper.
And she I was on the way to actually take her to work. And so she was about to go to the strip
club to work. And she was actually very nice, very pleasant. And she tipped me in all ones.
So she was nice. She was really cool. But I just had no idea that she was a
adult dancer, if you will. And I was very taken aback by it. But I mean, I was nice.
I was professional. I kept it professional. And she was professional. So very nice.
Oh heck yeah. So you get those forever now and then. But then one of my weird ones here.
So actually, it was really, really odd. I did mine in the Austin, Texas area. So Austin,
Texas is already a little weird as it is. And has some weird standards and things. But there's
this really, really odd apartment complex. I'll just kind of describe it. It was blue. And it
was two stories. But imagine kind of like a coastal imagine. Have you ever seen like one of those
two story coastal deals off the water, but like the underneath is where you park. And I don't know.
I've seen those. So it looked like that. But it wasn't on the coast or anything.
And I had to deliver to this place all the time. Well, there was always these two women there that
were like always there. And I kid you not, one time I delivered to them and they were like,
do you want to come inside? And like, do you want to like smoke with us? And do you want to like
hang out with us? And I was like, yeah, no, that's okay. So I said no to them like the last time.
Well, then the next time I came and mind you, so I would go around and I would do this with my
fiance as well. Like sometimes she would be in the car with me. So one time I delivered to them.
And it was those two girls again, and they showed up to the door topless that time. Like I guess
they saw who it was. And they showed up to the door topless. And they were like, are you sure you
don't want to come inside? And it's like, I'm very sure. Thank you. And I gave them the food and
literally left. Actually, after that, I'd never saw them personally ever again. But that was a
very weird conversation going down to the car to my fiance, which was then my girlfriend and was like,
Hey, so I remember those girls I told you about that are always like, want me to come inside?
Yeah, they showed up to the door topless today. Well, I remember you telling me that story.
Did you kind of say that that sometimes like a thing like people have a thing with that's the
way that they like tip their Uber drivers? I heard it's a whole thing. Yeah, I have two.
But I wasn't about none of that. Yeah, that's, that's very interesting. Another one I had,
I picked up someone from the airport and where I live in Lubbock, it's a very small airport. So
most of the time you're picking up people that have just come home. And so, you know, most of the
time I don't really, you know, talk too much to people after I picked them up from the airport,
because they've had a long day of travel and they're ready to get home. But I picked up this one
guy and we started talking, turns out he was not from Lubbock. And so we just started talking and
turns out he was actually a Broadway star and he was in town because Lubbock was doing a Broadway
musical. It was Anastasia and he had a part in it and he was like, yeah, man, he was like,
you know, this is my name and you can look me up on Instagram and turns out dude was a legit
Broadway star. And he was like, Hey, if you want to come to the show tonight, he was like, you
know, just message me on Instagram and he was like, you know, I'll get you backstage and everything.
And I was like, Oh, okay. But then whenever I looked up the tickets, the tickets were like
at least $400 a pop. And that was for the cheap seats. Geez. I'll tell you this much. Did you
know Daniel Radcliffe actually came through Lubbock at one point? He like was at a bar and he
actually had to get LPD to escort him out because when all the people from tech heard he was there
that they all basically stormed the bar that he was at. That's crazy. I heard Troy Aikman is in
Amarillo right now at a minor league baseball game. So heard that much. He's probably promoting his
beer. Yeah. Yeah. What other Uber driving stories do you have? So I also got into an accident one
time. And the only accident that I ever actually got into happened to be on the really rich part
of town. I always liked Uber driving in the really rich part of town. In Austin, it's actually called
it's a neighborhood called Westlake. If you've ever heard of it, that's where like Drew Brees,
he went to high school at Westlake. It's a really big football high school over there and all this
other stuff. I used to love delivery driving over there. And so this guy cuts me off and it becomes
a red light like right in front of us pretty much. And instead of him running the red light,
he slams on his brakes. Well, I didn't have time to stop. And so I slammed on in my like brakes
behind him. And yeah. So he gets like really, really mad and was like, Oh, you're just being
dangerous. You're being downright dangerous. And all this other stuff. I kid you not, man, like
when I say he he merged in front of me and like it was his fault, like he literally cut me off
really, really, really bad. Like I had inches. I didn't have any time to do it at all. And insurance
still counted it as my fault because I didn't even have, you know, I didn't have dash cam footage
or anything like that to like prove my side or anything. So it was still technically my fault.
But it was just crazy because it was, you know, it was one of these like really uppity guys in
a Range Rover. It cut me off. And then he that's crazy was nobody around at all.
Yeah, but nobody stopped. Yeah. I like there was plenty of there was plenty of people around,
but nobody stopped. And that was the worst part. It also started to rain too. So if you know,
the worst part to be driving is when the street is just it's just started to rain. Like that's
the worst part to be driving. That's when it's the most slick. And that's what it just started
happening. And this dude pulls out in front of me and it turns red. And I mean, he slammed on his
brakes to the point where it was like screeching slam on his brakes. I slammed on my brakes and
rear ended him. And luckily there was hardly any damage. There was more damage to my car than
there was his. And so it all worked out. But I just remember being really, really upset because
that stuff happens to you all the time. I mean, you got to think when you're in a car more than
anything, you have to deal with the idiot drivers pretty much exclusively. Were you in the middle
of a delivery when that happened or were you just like between jobs? Sure was. I was actually on a
delivery and I had the delivery in my passenger seat actually. And it was five guys. And what
ended up happening was, you know, they give you like a little hot bag to put it in. But at the
time these little hot bags, they didn't have a ceiling top or anything like that, like a zip
top or anything like that. So when I slammed on the brakes, all of that just flew forward and all
flew to my front seat. Like I had to cancel the order because it all just went into the floor
pretty much. Nothing I could have done. You know, it was just super violent of having to stop, you
know, really abrupt. Probably the craziest thing that I've ever had to encounter is, so it was
about three o'clock on a Tuesday afternoon and I had to go to the bar and pick someone up. And I
was like, oh, this person is probably going to be drunk. But you know what? They're ordering a Uber,
they're doing the right thing. You know, you can't be mad at them. They're being responsible. So I
pull up and I don't remember the guy's name on the thing. The thing about Uber is, you know,
you can see your driver's picture, but you cannot see the rider's picture. And so whenever I pulled
up, I was looking for a guy named Greg. Let's just call him Greg. And so I pull up and there's
this guy just standing out there and he's waving me down. And I was like, Hey, are you Greg? And he
was like, Yeah, I'm Greg. And so I'm like, All right, cool. So he gets in the back of my car. And
as I'm Uber driving, I always try to confirm the address. I'm like, we're going to 123 main, right?
And so he, for example, that's the address. And he was like, No, we're going to this other address.
And I was like, Well, can you change the address in your phone? So the drop off location so it can
adjust the charge and it can track where I'm going. He was like, Well, my phone's dead. And I was like,
Oh, okay, well, that's not good. I was like, Is there any way for you to charge it? And he was
like, No. So when your Uber driver picks you up, they can't change things on their end. You have
to change it from the riders end. So I'm on the phone with customer service support, like trying
to get this thing figured out because this guy's drunk. And I want to make sure he, which, which
I'll tell you this much that could be a pain sometimes it's outsourced to India. So sometimes
it could be really a pain. Oh, yes. Exactly. So I'm trying to make sure this guy gets home right.
So I'm in the middle of this call with customer service. And then all of a sudden I hear a
knock on my window and I'm like, Yes. And he was like, Are you Christopher? And I'm like,
Yeah, he's like, I'm Greg. And I was like, Well, who's this guy in my backseat? And he was like,
I don't know. He's like, But that's not Greg. He was like, I'm the one who ordered the Uber.
And I was like, Yeah, man. So I had to kick that guy out of my car. And I was like, Yeah,
bro, sorry, like I wanted to give him a ride. But I was like, No, Uber actually tracks where
I'm going. And I was like, I don't know this guy from anybody. And the cool thing about Uber is,
you know, they track where you go. So if, so if anything happens, they know where right where
you're at. So I was like, And no, so I had to kick somebody out of my car. So yeah, that was, that
was crazy. Everybody telling me about that. And I was like, Oh, that's, wow, you got to
be really drunk. But anyways, um, so my craziest one, I actually pulled up to a house and this was
an East Austin. And if you know anything about East Austin, it's okay, it's the hood of Austin,
especially used to be, I don't know how it is now, but it definitely used to be. And I pulled up to
this house to deliver. And I'll put it to this way, I was used to hate these McDonald's deliveries,
like I had to do a delivery from McDonald's. And it was like, I hate this. So I go to this guy's
door. And you know, I go and knock on the door. And simultaneously this, like I look down the street.
And I'm sorry, I can pull up in the car. And all of a sudden right behind me pulls up an ambulance.
And so I'm kind of freaking out like, Okay, what do I do? Like, do I pull over or what happens?
So the ambulance pulls up behind me, but like stops. And all the paramedics like get out,
and they go to the house two doors down from where I'm delivering. And you know, meanwhile,
I'm like knocking on the door. And so they get into this other guy's house. And I'm not sure the
situation, but the guy had been stabbed. And he was very vocal about it. You know, it was just
the weirdest feeling of knocking on the door. And this guy comes to the door, you know, I'm handing
him McDonald's. And two houses down, his neighbors going, I just got down, you know, he's just screaming
and hollering and going, I'm in bite, dang it. Don't you touch me. And he's just going on and
on. And you know, it was, it was pretty crazy. Like I just got in the car and, you know, I just drove,
man, I was, I wasn't even looking back. I wasn't even trying to figure out what was going on.
And just like, Yeah, that's okay. It was just really, really weird. Because, you know, me and
the guy who I delivered the food to, we kind of walked dies. And was like, Well, this is really
awkward. But yeah, it's crazy. You see some of the weirdest things and deal with some of the weirdest
stuff. I dealt with, I pulled up and picked, I picked up several people that have been in the
middle of a all domestic altercation. And they're trying to get away from the situation. And yeah,
it's been crazy. But Mike and I used to actually Uber eats together during the pandemic. So one
of us would drive and then the other would go in and get the food. And we would switch off. And
then we would split the money. We made pretty good money. Yeah, we did. It was a lot more efficient
that way. You wouldn't really think that having two people versus one would make such a difference.
But it really does. Because when you're only one person, you have to pull into the space,
you have to park your car, turn your car off, go inside, do all the stuff. But when it's two people,
literally one person could literally drop you off by the door. The other person runs inside,
gets the food, you run back outside. Normally, the other person's either parked close,
or can kind of either ride around till you get out. And then you get out and you take off. And
it's a lot more efficient. Last story, I know we're running late on time, but at 75. And so we can
do what we want. Hold on. If this is the story I think you're about to do, if this has to do with
a particular pizza guy. Yes, it does. Yes, it does. I'm going to tell this story. So it's late at night,
not late at night. It's probably six, seven o'clock, right? We're doing probably our final Uber runs.
And so we're at this apartment complex near campus. So Micah's going to run the food in,
and I'm just going to park right in the pizza, or the Domino's parking lot, like right there.
So while I'm waiting for him to come out, he's going to be in out like two minutes.
And so I parked there and I'm sitting there for like a minute. And this guy comes out there and
he was like, hey, you can't park here. This is only for Domino's customer parking anyway. And I
said, oh, okay. I said, I'm going to move in just one minute. My friend is literally walking back
right now. He was like, okay, well, next time you'll know not to park here. And I was like,
I'm sorry I took up your parking spot for like two seconds, dude. I was like, it's not that big of a
deal. And he was like, he was like, well, it is a big deal because people aren't supposed to park here.
And he was like, you need to move your car now. And I was like, okay, pizza boy, why don't you
got some, you got some pizzas to make or something? Why don't you go back inside and make some pizzas?
And like, he was like, all right, dude, F you and this, I was like, dude, I'm taking up the park
and spot for two minutes. Like I'm literally about to move. And see, meanwhile, while he was saying
all that, like, I'd already come out and was almost to the car already. And like, we're about to move
just then. I got the right there with the pizza boy comment. I was like, oh, what's going on here?
Yeah, I was just like, okay, pizza boy, like get out of my face. But anyways, we're going to move
into our next segment. And that's the jelly donut. And that's our jail report.
Micah, what do you got for us? This one's a little bit of an interesting. So,
you know, some people swap their hangover stories and what happens when they get really sloshed.
This one has a very interesting one. There was a China resident who decided
to get drunk one night with his friends. And wouldn't you know it? He wakes up in a giant container.
Like what kind of container? Like a storage container? Like a shipping container in the middle
of the ocean. And so he starts banging on the door. Luckily, a person who was working on the ship
finds finds him and figures out what's happened, tells him he's on his way to Los Angeles. So
literally, he was on the cargo ship for two weeks until he got to Los Angeles where the police
got him and then shipped him back to China. Wow, that's crazy, man. Can you just imagine? What
a crazy night. Must have had some party and it's like something out of a movie. Here's one that I
think you'll really think is pretty funny. There was a burglar and here's how he was discovered.
Literally, there was a man and his wife who were downstairs in their bedroom, assumably asleep
late at night because it says it's after 11. And apparently, this man had stumbled upon a
newspaper of some kind and had read a joke either from like the Funnies or you know,
something like that and was heard laughing from upstairs. And that's how he was discovered that
he was robbing the house. Yeah, I've heard that story somewhere or I've heard a version of that
story where it was the guy was like hiding in the closet and then the husband read a joke from the
paper and then the guy laughs from the closet. I don't know. I've heard different versions of
that story, but yeah, I've heard that one. It might be just, it might just be one of those that
kind of floats around, but I was like, that one's kind of interesting. Tall tales. You never know.
You never know urban legend. Yeah, you never know what that stuff. And especially, you know,
we're taking stuff off the internet just FYI. So, you know, but you can always trust the internet,
Micah. Everything posted on there is fact, especially on Facebook, I guess, especially on
Facebook. So a man in a stolen car is arrested after he asked for directions. So there was a guy
who was driving around and he had a stolen vehicle and he reported to stop or he reportedly stopped
and asked police for directions. So he pulled up to a squad car, literally, it's like, hey,
can you give me directions on how did this was obviously in the 90s before, you know, GPSs and
things like that. But geez, I was about to ask, I was about to ask, like, what year was this? Because
who asks for directions now? Like, we all have it on our phones. But I was wondering, did he not
have map quest? Map quest. Funny. For you kids out there that are listening, map quest used to be
this thing where we would go on the internet and it would give you turn by turn directions and you
would print out a paper with map quest directions on there. History lesson. And I remember we used
to think that was the the greatest thing since slice spread like, oh, we don't even have to read the
signs. The only thing that sucked though is like if there was construction or detour or something,
it did not have that updated. So you you had better figure it out. Funny enough story, we were going
through my fiance's car's glove box who used to be with her parents. And they still had a
bunch of map quest directions in the glove box. So it was pretty great. Here's another one. So there
was a dog attack. And the police responded to a report of two dogs running loose and attacking
people. But when they found when they got there, all they found was the dogs were going after ducks.
So the officers tried to actually help the ducks out. And what ended up happening was the duck
refused medical treatment according to the police reports. Nobody actually got arrested in this story,
but I thought it was pretty funny that in the police report, it said the duck refused medical treatment.
Yeah, what was it doing? Like it was flopping around. It was just being squirrely. You couldn't catch it.
Like what's going on in that situation? That's kind of like the cop tried and he was like, oh,
heck no, I'm not going to deal with this. Yeah, that's weird to put in a story that duck refused
medical treatment. Okay, the duck refused medical treatment and left the area. That's something
that's you just got to fill in something with the paperwork, right? Okay, so this next one here,
there were there was a cop that was called out because there were suspicious people
reportedly doing something with flashlights in this particular Canadian town. Shout out Canada to
our listeners up there. So a deputy goes and checks on this and found out that they weren't
suspicious, that they were merely just Canadian. Were they just playing flashlight tag or what?
What were they just doing? They were just chilling or what? Essentially what ended up happening was
there was some flashlight festival in Canada, something along those lines, so they're all
out in this field with flashlights and that's what it ended up being. And apparently that's a Canadian
holiday of some kind. I guess so, man. Well, Canadians don't really have a whole bunch of
crime up there. I don't feel like maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like anything that's like,
it's like Karen crime. You know what I mean? Like it's like they're playing music too loud or
somebody's speeding through the neighborhood too much like that's the stuff they consider crime.
So there's a high school student attempted to get off of school bus and the police and there was one
of these, have you ever heard of like these police officers that are kind of like bus monitors,
but they they sit on the bus? They're like those, what are they called on the on the planes? Air
marshals? It's a bus. Yeah, they're bus marshals is what it is. So essentially this student was
getting off and bumped this officer and what ended up happening? The officer arrested him
for assault, tried to and they threw it out because it was obviously stupid. But I've always
wondered and this was apparently a school police officer. I've often wondered how much power do
they actually have? Can they actually arrest and detain you or like how does that work? I think if
it's something that happens like on school property then yes. I don't know if being on a bus is still
considered school property because depending on who the bus is chartered through if it's school
property. But I think they can just like college campus police they can't pull you over like on
the street but they can pull you over if you're in campus. So I think it's kind of the same thing.
But my question is is like do these kids know that this is a bus marshall? Like is he decked out in
the full regalia or is it just like he's one of those undercover bus marshals? That I don't know,
but I will say this. I don't know what kind of context it could be as far as this this student
like bumping into him. Like my question is how did he bump into him? Was it an accidental bump or
was it one of those things to where this kid kind of causes trouble and he kind of bumps head with
the bus marshall sometimes already and getting off the bus he just kind of gave him a cheap shot
with his elbow like with his shoulder or what? The fact that they dismissed it probably means that
it was an accident because if it was intentional then they'd be like yeah this kid's getting suspended
or this kid's getting some kind of repercussion. But the fact that they threw it out makes me think
oh he kind of maybe accidentally bumped him or something and then the officer probably popped
off and then the kid probably popped off back. I think it was maybe one of those situations.
It just got really heated and it just got taken out of hand. But yeah man that's that was the jail
report. Some of those are kind of interesting. The duck refusing medical treatment you know.
Yeah that's comedy goal right there. But we're going to jump into our next segment and that's the
donut hole and I know it's your week buddy so what do you got? We're going to do another quiz I guess
or asking questions here. This one since you're a history guy yourself here's what we're going to do.
This is a quiz on the years. The major years that things happen so like historical years.
Is this US history or is this world history? This is world history. So it could be. Okay before we
start I'm going to say I'm very shocked and maybe kind of impressed that I thought your
donut hole was going to be about the NFL draft. No actually no. The NFL draft this year is kind of
not very exciting I guess. At least not for me. It's just. Well okay well we'll dive into these
questions. I'm just kind of flabbergasted I guess. You're waiting for an NFL story to come out of me
one of these days. It's coming. It's coming don't worry. But the first one. So what year did Neil
Armstrong become the first person to walk on the moon? Allegedly. Allegedly or was it in the studio?
Was it A 1969, B 1973, C 1977 or D 1983? It's A 1969. Yeah you're correct.
All right so we're one for one. Here's the next one. This one is pretty pretty straightforward.
I'm sure you you'll know this one and most people will know this one. But when did Columbus discover
America? Was it 1201? Was it 1492? Was it 1575 or 1699? It was 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
Exactly. I think every a lot of people know that one because of the little jingle there.
Okay so this one's going to be a little bit different. We're getting into maybe a little
bit more of the world stage here. What year did the Berlin Wall fall? Okay all right.
All right. Was it A 1969, B 1979, C 1989 or D 1999? Mr. Goldbergschoff knocked out this wall. 1989.
Yeah you're correct. Yep 89. That's the only reason why I remember it because I just remember
Ronald Reagan saying Mr. Goldbergschoff knocked down this wall and he was in the 80's so that's why
I remember. Yeah there you go. All right so the next one here. Number four. When did the Wright
brothers fly? And I hate how this questions phrase. They say the first airplane. I'm just going to
digress. The first airplane was actually flown. It was powered flight that was achieved with the
Wright brothers. So anyways when was the when did the Wright brothers achieve power flight?
Was it 1888? Was it 1903, 1917 or 1931? Man I want to say it was 1889 but I'm going to go with my
gut and say 1903. You're right it's 1903. They did it in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina and had a
bicycle parts. I actually knew that. I knew it was in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina because since we
lived in Georgia we would always see North Carolina license plates and that was one of the ones. It
was like home of the Kitty Hawk something something. Yep and it always had like the little it was blue
it and had like the little Wright brothers flyer on there. All right here's the next one. We're
going back to this is more world history but war wise. When did World War One begin?
Was it 1813, 1873, 1893 or 1914? 1914. That was kind of an easy one. All the 1800s ones it's like
yeah. You got to make you got to make the answer choices harder because I would have said 1917
but I think it's when it got over maybe. All right so the next one. When did the Japanese bomb
Pearl Harbor? What year? So is it A and these are close together so you're ready for this?
Is it 1939, 1940, 1941 or 1945? So we were entered into the war.
Man we entered into the World War II really late and that was the thing that started it. So I'm
going to say 1945. No it was actually 41. Oh dang I was close. Yeah you're close. You're close.
I knew it was either 41 or 45. I was going to say 44 but I think that's the first one I got wrong.
That was the first one you got wrong out of the first six so that's pretty good. All right so
when did what year did the start of the Great Depression happen? And that's for the US here.
Was it 1893, 1907, 1919 or 1929?
1929 and you know why I know this? Because the stock market crashed on October 29th.
Let's use my birthday so that's how I remember that. Yes it did. I don't know why but I always
think about that Family Guy episode when they're when they have Lois's you know dead
ants rich house and he's trying to say that historical significance happened there. He
points over to the hole in the wall and he says and that's where the stock market crashed. I don't
know. Anyways like literally crashed not like literally crashed in the wall right there.
Okay so this one's going to be a little difficult. What year did Edison patent his light bulb?
Is it 1909? Is it 1918? Is it 1879 or is it 1889? 1879. You got it. Yeah I remember because I was
like no they had already had like in the wild west and stuff. Well no maybe not in the wild west but
like back east during that time they had already had like some electricity and stuff so I knew that
much. All right so we just got a few of them left here. I think I'm going to skip when the
Declaration of Independence was signed. I think you know what year that was. I don't think I'd.
We all know what year it was signed. 1775. It was six. See I was testing you. Let's see.
All right so the next one here this one I don't really expect you to know this. I don't know this
off off hand here. Do you know by chance when the Black Plague reached here? That's going to be
very hairy. Can you do you have multiple choice questions or answers? Yeah I do. So the years are
yeah so the years are 799, 1045, 1347 or 1501. It's one in the middle to 1045.
And what was the other one 13 something? 1347. 1347. I'm going to say 1045.
Actually it's 1347. Oh I knew it was one of those too. It was one of those too yeah.
Yeah it was 1347. Yeah the Black Plague was pretty pretty crazy. All right last one here.
What year did the Civil War officially begin? There's 1831, 1851, 1861 and 1871. 1861.
There you go. See the thing is being from where we're from there's no way you can't
you can't know that one. There are some hard ones on here that I didn't ask like when did
Muhammad die in Medina? Do you know that one? I don't know any of that crap bro because I follow Jesus
Christ. Wow and then it's like Alexander the Great when did he die in Babylon? It would be
definitely something something BC. I know that much. Oh excuse me BCE before current era because
BC before Christ is not politically correct anymore. Get out of my face. And then BCE I've
also heard people say it's before Christ existed. That's an interesting take I've never heard of that
one before. You haven't you haven't heard of that one I think that was just people who were upset
that anyways we can move on. So that's a great segue into what fries my donuts. Chris I understand
there's something that really fries your donuts. What's going on man? Oh yeah man well as you know
I have recently come back from good old Orlando Florida the home of Disney World and Universal
Studios. I went to Universal Studios and while being there man something that fries my donuts
is about theme parks. Now I love theme parks. It's not the theme parks themselves that fry my
donuts. It's people at theme parks that fry my donuts. Number one people act like they are so
above the rules. People act like they can just do whatever they want at theme parks. For example
in the Jurassic Park section it says no climbing on the rocks. No climbing on anything. No climbing
on this right. And I literally saw this lady like climbing on the place where it said no climbing
to take a picture. And the the worker was like ma'am you need to step down from there. And they
got mad at the worker for telling them to step down. And I'm like it literally says no climbing.
Another example we were in line for Hagrid's motorbike adventure like we got there right
when the park first opened and they were having some delays with opening it up. Now they were like
hey it's going to be delayed and they at Universal whenever something's delayed or kind of they're
working on it they will not let people in line. Like they will just close the line off right. So
they had it closed off and people were still lining up in front of the ride and they were like hey
like y'all don't line up in front of this ride like because it's delayed. And people were still
congregating around it and like they had to yell at these people and be like hey like if you're
waiting you're going to be waiting all day because we're not opening this ride until you guys like
get out of line and stop congregating around here. And I'm like do y'all not listen like y'all just
not listen at all. Nobody listen nobody cares. Let me ask you this theme park and then also
airport how are people at the airport. Oh yeah people are people are annoying at the airport.
But this is part this is part of too what fries my donuts at theme parks. People are so rude because
they're just like I just me first it's a me first me first me first kind of a thing. And they will
literally just shove past you. They don't care who you are. They're rude. There's no courtesy like
nothing. And I feel like the pandemic's made that worse. Like getting us shut in all with ourselves
to where you have to think about ourselves and our safety and all this other stuff. Like we we forgot
common courtesy for a lot of other people. And I'll just put it to you this way and this is just a
small caveat. Have you noticed this like even in the grocery store if there's somebody that has
lesser amount of items than you do by like a lot let them go in line with you or like in front of you
right. Just be like no you can go ahead you don't have that much stuff. Help them get out quick.
I don't see that hardly at all anymore. I don't see that at all. I don't see that at all either.
And it's like man like can you not wait just like two more seconds. Like you're already waiting in
line like you know for an hour or something. It's like what's two more minutes. And like people
are like literally shoving people out of the way to get to the right first and this and that.
And then my last one and I know that this drives you up the wall when you are in a theme park
line be paying attention. Don't be holding up the line. You need to move when the line is moving
like move when the line is moving. We were in the Harry Potter section and it's really cool in there.
I'll say that inside the castle is really cool. There's one of the rides inside the castle.
But literally this family in front of us were like taking pictures of like everything. They were
literally stopping and the line was like continuously moving and they were literally stopping. And
then when you try to get around them they were like no we were in front of you. And it's like stop
stopping every two seconds. Like if you want to stop and take pictures that's fine. But step to
the side and let other people go first. Like let the line keep moving. I hate when people do not
pay attention and do not go up. You're making our line long. I mean my thing is I hate it when people
are also facing the opposite direction. And they'll just face the opposite direction. It's just like bro
seriously move up. You know people in line just drive me nuts. Like we're all trying to get to a
place. I don't know if you've noticed. We all want to ride this ride in a timely fashion. Yeah. Is there
anything that rides your donuts about theme parks. Oh what I don't like and maybe this is just me
but people decide they want to be overly like public displays of affection. I don't know if that
was the way it was at Universal when you were there. But I know this happens a lot at Six Flags.
It's like every time we go to Six Flags it's like you see couples like making out over the rails
like trying to take each other's clothes off and crap. Like I always be seeing that at Six Flags
and stuff. I think that's only at Six Flags because at Universal man like it really like it's more of
a family place. And like I didn't see as much of that. But yeah at Six Flags I've been seeing that
all the time bro. People people be knocking boots and like they be getting they be getting nasty
in line. I mean they be getting real nasty. There's been many times where Chris and I just be
looking at each other talking to each other and be like trying not to focus on something in line
at the Six Flags because they just be going at it or something. You know it's crazy. But yeah.
Like I don't like that sort of thing. But yeah maybe maybe that's just the difference in theme
parks. But I don't know. People just not considered all the way around. Yeah I get that. One thing
that did help us though when we were waiting in the long lines was we were we played a game like me
and my wife we played a game and like it was like a 20 questions game where it's like I'm thinking
of an animal or I'm thinking of a famous person and that helped the line to go quick. But yeah man
like if you're in a if you're in a line at theme park be courteous. Be respectful. Listen to it.
The rules like listen to directions. I think it's just people's when people get masses people are
stupid. Like they just have no idea what they're doing and they think they know what they're doing.
But they don't they don't follow signs. They don't follow guidance. They don't. It's just hysteria.
I don't know what it is. It's just like I'm going to do what I want to do. Nobody's going to nobody's
going to do what I want to do or so I don't know. It's a weird thing that happens with people.
But yeah I totally get you. That's all I got man. But I guess we're going to go into our history
going on. That's our improv. We're going to go ahead and do free improv this week which is going
to be an accent from the hat and a location. So let's see what's what's our accent going to be.
Oh it's going to be our Asian voice. I love that one. And what location Chris I'll let you pick
out of that one. Let's see. At the car wash at the car wash. Okay. Do you want to start or you want
me to start. I can start. Oh Mr. Chan can you believe they sell a total wax for only two dollars.
Oh they sell for two dollars. I could get it to them one dollar. They could get undercut everybody
in the whole town. I don't understand why they don't be doing business with me. Mr. Chan I love
doing business with you. We're making all this money off all them white folks because they go
through our car wash. All I remember is I made video where I called myself Mr. Millionaire. Mr.
Millionaire and I sell for all bunch of money and I say we do that again. You, me, we team up. We be
Mr. Millionaires. We sell our tape. We make money. Oh Mr. Chan you know what I love when we go to the
car wash. I love the little little flashy light with the blue and the green and the soap. Oh that
is so funny. It's like I'm at Disney World. You know I like to it's expensive but I like to put
I like to put smell when you go through car wash all you smell is cotton candy. I like cotton candy.
You know what I have to tell my family. My family said oh dad I want to go to Disney World
of Rockin' Rock. I said what you think I made on money. You think I made on money. I said oh we go
through the car wash two three times. That's the best ride. I'll tell you this little Chan last week
from school he said I sick so I have to pick him up. Two o'clock. I at work all day trying to make
money. I go to school with him and I say oh you don't want me to make money and then he tell me
all this summer I want to go to amusement park. No no no you are going to go to car wash. That is
where you're going to go but it is not going to be fun for you. I ride through. You walk there.
That way I get free car wash and I ride all day round make sure you are working. I tell you I tell
you you want to go to Disney World I do this. I put your teacher Mr. Mr. Williams and a cowboy hat
and a leather jacket and you could say Dr. Jones Dr. Jones the Indiana Jones right there. Meanwhile
you can go to him and you could study all the live long day to be doctor if not get out of face.
I have to go Mr. Chan so that my Asian wife can walk on my back and do massage. I have to go too.
My daughter needs serious yelling too. She's dating white boys. All right guys well that was a fun
time man gotta love the car wash. Just a disclaimer we we love Asian people. We love people of all
kind. It's just jokes. It's just fun. It's just fun to do accents. We make fun of our own kind.
Trust me. Oh we make fun of everybody. It doesn't matter what you look like we just make fun of
everybody. That's that's a great thing. Micah and I will be out in public and we will just people
watch. That's the funnest thing ever. You make up little stories about people. I do that all the time.
Oh yeah keeps us entertained. That's what that's what we had kids before you had your little smartphones
is we people watched and made up stupid stories about them. Yep so we're going to move into our
final segment and that's our Eclair which is our positive advice and I know it first last week so
I think it's your turn. All right well my eclair for this week is don't be ashamed of your hobbies
and what I mean by that is it's so easy in life and this is kind of a multifaceted thing about people
but I had somebody tell me you know I don't want to share that part of my life or I don't want to
share my hobby with some people that I know because I'm afraid that they're going to judge or ridicule
me and you know that's a key indicator a lot of the time that you're not around the right people
because the people that truly want to be around you if you said hey man I think this is pretty cool
like for example Chris and I are kind of on the understanding he loves wrestling cool cool man I
totally get that I get some of it I don't really care for it a ton like I'll definitely watch it
with him and I'll definitely support his hobby I'm not going to put him down for it but I don't
fully understand it and it's it's just okay for me and I'm sure he feels the same way about NFL
he's not 100% into football like I am like that so I totally get it it's it's okay but the true
people that are around in your life will support those hobbies and not judge you for them and even
if they don't necessarily like them or understand them they'll still be okay with them and so all
I have to say is it's not just about hobbies but if you have to feel like you're ashamed about anything
and bringing up who you are to a certain person to a certain group of people maybe they're not
great people to be around in the first place so you're telling me my hobby can be anything anything
Chris you can branch out anything yes anything anything listen I'll lead you I'll make it look
like a bloody accident okay that's a that's a line from the cat in the hat the the live action version
with Mike Myers which is a very underrated version of cat in the hat by the way I love that version
but my eclair is don't get so tunnel vision don't focus so much on the destination that you miss
the journey right so I know that I'm talking to myself because sometimes I do this with everything
I don't really care about stopping but I just want to get to where I'm going like that's all road
trips plane trips whatever I'm just like hey I just want to get there but so many of the times
like the best stuff is in the journey like you never know like for example when you're on a car
trip and you stop like over to a stand or a museum like those are the memories you create I'm not just
talking about like physically but I'm also talking metaphorically because in life you got so many times
where you know once you get to the destination that part of the journey is over it and you may have
missed some things along the way that um Galvestron to show you or that you know you were trying to
learn but I'm telling you man just don't focus so much on the destination that you miss the cool
stuff on the journey when you know what they say it's it's one of those things you it's
the good times are actually happening now and most of the time you don't realize those are the
good old days till you're past them so you have to really enjoy your time and cling on to the good
things in the moments because they are there you mean my best days aren't behind me no they're in
front of you all right well this has been a fun time man tell them where they could go to find
tv trashcan dot com that's tv trashcan dot com uh you can like subscribe do all the facebook youtube
instagram all that fun stuff and uh yeah we got a bunch of good stuff on tv trashcan dot com so go
