Rewriting Sports, Run-ins with Cops, and High School Hijinks: An Episode From The Lost Files
Here's an episode from the lost files! Listen when Matt rejoins the crew!
Remember that time when you almost got arrested for stealing a police car? Brace yourself for an amusing, yet thought-provoking conversation where we dive headfirst into the world of sports, explore innovative ways to enhance the Olympics and baseball, and even make a case for integrating firearms into the pentathlon. We also delve into the illustrious careers of legendary baseball players, such as Satchel Paige, and that memorable time a player pitched a no-hitter while on acid!
We also shift gears to share some of our own wild experiences, some of which may strongly resemble scenes from an action movie. From dizzying boating escapades to close calls with the boys in blue, our tales will have you on the edge of your seat. But it's not all fun and games - we take a serious look at the power dynamics between law enforcement and civilians, sparked by a near-arrest incident involving yours truly. It's a heart-stopping saga that underlines the importance of fairness and justice.
To cap things off, we take a stroll down memory lane, reminiscing about our high school days and the creative methods we used to skirt school rules and parental authority. We share anecdotes about biking in the dark, walking extensive distances, and our ingenious methods of hiding bikes in rural towns. Along with discussing our experiences with social media, we hope that our stories evoke a sense of nostalgia and remind you of your own adventurous school days. So buckle up, grab some popcorn and get ready for a rollercoaster of discussion, laughter, and memories.
All right. Well, we got a special guest back all the way back from episode 1, 1, 2, something like that, I think, flying in his bitch like handyman yeah. Mad come creeping in the door. The door was open. We got him back. He's gonna say some shit.
Speaker 2:Door was not open, why you think he had to come open it.
Speaker 1:Oh, the outside door. Yeah, the door to the studio.
Speaker 2:I ain't gonna kick that in like PooTies hanging up, then it's not my door.
Speaker 1:So, anyways, we were talking about some shit before you got here and I think we were talking about fast planes or some shit like that. How I ended up in Air Force. My name on the plane never happened, whatever. Wait, you didn't get your name on the plane, no, so I ended up not doing the whole crew chief thing.
Speaker 3:You didn't like scribble it on like what I mean? You didn't you?
Speaker 1:ain't got a marker, I mean what look A crayon? So I ended up crawling around in fuel tanks for eight years, so you tagged inside of a fuel tank.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 4:I'm pretty sure I wrote my name inside people's houses in Baghdad. Yeah, yeah, I put my shit everywhere.
Speaker 5:Eric was. Eric was.
Speaker 1:W W UZ V V? Was that V W V Wolf?
Speaker 3:I got a friend that's been doing like a charity tour. He's riding a bicycle around the country Like he went from Lafayette to Panama City before he did like a 500 mile loop around Texas. But he goes and he slaps these stickers from the skate shops. He's a skateboard dude. On signs and bridge all the way along the way He'll just slap it. So this last time he went on the same route so he went and slapped the new sticker next to the old ones and I was like thinking about that, but no, Eric's over here slapping it on people's houses and you got fuel tanks.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know where that's beautiful Independence pass. Oh yeah, whenever you pass up, I can't remember what fucking trail. In Colorado but on the right side whenever you look down on the valley that whole rail, because we stopped there. Oh yeah, we stopped there with Andrew and then this year and it's just, it's hilarious.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Anything and everything.
Speaker 4:I mean, I'm like, what do you mean? Like people pass by like that on bicycles and they put stickers on it, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:But every, I mean how many people hike independence pass for some ungodly reason, ride bicycles up independence pass Even during the winter. They do cross country skiing where you know those cats were, minus the cool gun. Yeah, I understand.
Speaker 3:I understand. So he's talking about the Olympic sport of bi athletes.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:So, so pent athletes. They run, they jump, they throw the discus, they do all this stuff, but somehow, when they got it down to two sports, it is skis and a gun.
Speaker 1:Skis and a shoe.
Speaker 2:But also those pent up people got robbed because you had all this other shit. Just add the fucking gun to all the sports Right. We could do that too, but what I'm saying is, if you're talking about the end of the basketball now, if you're doing multiple Olympics, yeah, you know, and these cats over here get to ski and shoot shit, and but you're doing all this extra work, doing all this other shit.
Speaker 1:And you don't get a gun.
Speaker 2:That's some bullshit.
Speaker 1:And they got shooting in the summer Olympics. They have shooting too.
Speaker 2:They just don't put it with the, everybody else gets to shoot.
Speaker 3:But you Except them and dude I. It's impressive because the thing is you do it something that straightness, and then you got to stop control yourself. That is impressive.
Speaker 2:And pull trigger in between heartbeats when your heart is going so.
Speaker 3:Matt has lots of ideas of how to make sports better. How do you make baseball better?
Speaker 2:I give everybody now feel the bat, so the batting gets a bat or maybe even it may be people in like the lower levels, where they hit home runs. Yeah, you know, fuck your home run.
Speaker 1:So all the fans could participate in the game.
Speaker 2:Because then everybody's it's like being in Abbeyville Everybody's fucking each other up Because you can drink in baseball, right.
Speaker 3:Like you go to the park or whatever it's called.
Speaker 2:You can drink in there, right, yeah, okay, so let's get everybody fucked up and give them bats.
Speaker 3:If you play like a don't leak softball, you can drink on the field.
Speaker 4:Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:How do?
Speaker 3:you think that Chuck and all those people can miss all of our degenerate friends to play so much softball.
Speaker 4:Wait, that's one of our sponsors, jelty. Oh, you meant that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I thought you meant like actual softball, oh no, I mean real baseball, they know real baseball.
Speaker 5:They've been drinking for years when they play. Yeah. There was this story, oh yeah, yeah, there's stories of baseball players that, like Babe Ruth, didn't smoke cigarettes. Without a drink, had a cigar, everything.
Speaker 3:There's a cat that threw a no-hitter on acid, bro, and you should hear the stories. He was in the Pirates right.
Speaker 2:Yes, I heard about that. What I did hear about was who's the old dude? The dude that pitched but was like oldest dirt? Oh, satchel page probably.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no, no, no, no it's like in our time In our life, oh that dude. And he beat the shit out of that dude.
Speaker 2:That's your man and he was like fucking people up on the regular and then like going in and smoking people and like getting motherfuckers in here and shit.
Speaker 5:Oh yeah, oh yeah, you don't crowd to plate. You don't crowd to plate. No, he's not on the straight edge.
Speaker 2:Like that. One dude ran up to him in the game because he hit him with a fucking pitch ran up to him. Don't run, grab him in the fucking headlock and went yes. Yes, that I told that story on the way back from a job with this dude so I had to go look up the video. It's fucking hilarious.
Speaker 5:Oh yeah, oh yeah, what I?
Speaker 1:do is out and no, the Ryan was like 45 when he did that. Like I mean pro athletes get to play to that late of an age.
Speaker 3:Not any no.
Speaker 4:Fuck you, yeah, man.
Speaker 5:Born and raised in Texas. Man Nolan Ryan was a different breed man.
Speaker 2:Apparently. And the other thing he told me was like he was a pro, since he was like 19. Yeah, yeah, he went straight out of house, straight up. Boom, he was banging people in fucking high school and shit.
Speaker 1:I saw a video of him this weekend that said he threw out after his career was over. I think I don't remember when it was. It was an ALCS game, so I don't know if it was a Astros game or a Rangers game. Back when they made it to the ALCS or whatever, they threw out the first pitch at the beginning of the game. Right.
Speaker 2:Bro, what's all these?
Speaker 1:fucking letters you just said.
Speaker 3:It's the leagues, don't worry about it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it doesn't matter. It was throughout the first pitch at the beginning of the game and he was like 60 something years old and he threw an 80 mile an hour fastball as the first pitch. Like just like it's a ceremonial thing.
Speaker 2:Okay Now wait, it was 80. Did it go where it was? It went where it was. Okay, it was normal.
Speaker 4:Bro, I can't go 80.
Speaker 1:If I got up there and threw one right now, I might get 65.
Speaker 4:Might Okay, and what would Chuck get? He might get an 80.
Speaker 1:He might. He might get an 80. Or a 70. I'm sorry.
Speaker 5:I don't know about 80.
Speaker 1:You can probably throw a 70 mile an hour fastball.
Speaker 4:My best, my best. I was throwing a 70 mile an hour fastball. What would college or major league be?
Speaker 3:Your better college players. I'm talking like elite level college will get in the touch the upper 90s, maybe at 100. But like you might have a dude that can hit 100.
Speaker 5:I think there's like three or four in college, right now, so 80 is pretty fucking fast. Well, scheme is gone.
Speaker 1:80 is pretty fucking fast yeah, if you throw an 80 in high school, nobody can hit you. No, okay, you just throw gas all day long, that's right If you throw an 80 and now you know in college oh, I'm up for 80.
Speaker 5:You need to be pushing 90 now. I think they're In college.
Speaker 1:In high school, in high school.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I think the guys are pushing higher 80s in high school.
Speaker 4:The better ones, the one that are going to go. So we're talking elite high school.
Speaker 5:The average mediocre college.
Speaker 2:I think 80 would be average Can you find one of these fastball throwing motherfuckers and then I'm going to fly by on my motorcycle doing 90 miles an hour and see if I can see the ball next to you next to you.
Speaker 4:Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm going to Like it's staying still.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that would be kind of cool.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 4:90 miles an hour on a motorcycle and he will test is really calm, I will ride on the back of your bike and film it. Sweet yeah.
Speaker 2:How about that? That's how they did that shit in Mad Max A lot of the over the shoulder video shit, what they didn't fucking tape a camera to that dude or anything. There's a dude Right on the back of that and all like this and this dude's dragging his knee on like a 1970 something, gz 1000 turd.
Speaker 3:I don't know Eight of those letters, just man.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just like the old.
Speaker 2:Really old shitty motorcycles.
Speaker 5:It has to be a big ass. It was fucking huge. Eric needs to hold the big ass.
Speaker 4:I need the whole. Thing. I needed to go at least three feet in front of Matt. Yeah, the mic of the ball, the boom.
Speaker 1:Whatever I got to sit on the fucking camera on top of my seat.
Speaker 3:My favorite part of that Matt wanted to improve baseball, though, was that the batter shouldn't have to drop his bat. No, but all the guys on base, all the baseman, first and second base and all that should have their own bats and you actually have to fight your way to the base. It's not about getting there first. No, you have to win it.
Speaker 1:You have to win it.
Speaker 2:This is my fucking base. Yeah, the king of the hill, you got to win it, if you know about baseball.
Speaker 5:They wear metal spikes on their shoes.
Speaker 2:You wear metal yeah.
Speaker 5:Yeah, it's metal spikes. They slide. If you see their foot up in the air, it's because they're trying to actually spike them.
Speaker 2:I've heard about that, but I didn't know they were metal.
Speaker 5:Yeah, we were wearing metal in high school. Really, yeah, I would be bloodied up almost every game because I play shortstop so I would catch somebody stealing. I'm going to catch the ball and somebody would hit me, so you got a bunch of kids running around with metal spikes at the bottom of their feet, trying to kick each other's ass.
Speaker 1:You lucky. No more Win it, win the beast.
Speaker 5:I think the girls get to wear them at age 14 or whatever.
Speaker 4:Y'all got metal spikes on your gloves too. No, that would be fun, though that would be dope.
Speaker 1:You can get the colla light and some of the tomato adding everybody.
Speaker 2:You're going to add that to it. You get the colla like old man on fucking touch ball.
Speaker 1:You just trying to improve shit, like they do with slam ball, with the trampolines and basketball. I saw that the other day. That was fucking cool.
Speaker 2:And man, the fucking helmet looked like a tortoise shell from Mario. At first I was like you need a motherfucking helmet.
Speaker 5:Then I watched what happens in the game and I was like yeah, somebody's going to fly up and hit somebody's knee.
Speaker 2:One dude went over the fucking goal. I always wanted that. Missed the backboard. All the shit got tangled up into shit, Holy shit.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I need to watch some more you know, whenever you double bounce somebody on trampoline.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It was the guy that was going to block him hit just before him, so it just pulled him out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's on the Ocho.
Speaker 3:The Ocho yeah that's real.
Speaker 4:The Ocho is real.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Was it real before they do it once a year. It's not as like Ocho, oh OK.
Speaker 1:But they, it is real. And no, it was not real before the movie Nice.
Speaker 3:Yeah. But you were talking about the Ocho and it's always amazed me that human beings came up with a helmet Like we were cracking our skulls open so much. And we were like we need to come up with a way for us to continue doing these activities.
Speaker 2:Yeah, unless you were those fuckers that played football with leather helmets. Yeah, I'm going to take this shoe and put it on my head, and that is going to protect me as I run through all of these people.
Speaker 4:The leather helmet, things pretty well.
Speaker 1:And, but that was the same dude that was drinking during the game.
Speaker 4:Oh, they were doing it on the sideline, that's why they were drinking in the game.
Speaker 1:They was going on the sidelines. They was hitting whiskey to warm themselves up, all right.
Speaker 2:There's probably empty bottles on the field.
Speaker 3:No doubt Now I know. Matt told me one time and I keep thinking about it every time I watch sports. But he said any sport would be better if everybody had a baseball bat. Any sport, Any sport.
Speaker 2:I mean, it'd be way more entertaining.
Speaker 3:Everybody on the field has a bat. What about golf? Sure, especially golf.
Speaker 2:Have you ever hit a golf ball with aluminum bat?
Speaker 3:No, so much fun you can hit a ball in a club.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Bro, I need to try to shoot.
Speaker 2:Like you think, you get that vibration whenever you hit it with a golf club.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Dude, it's so much more with a aluminum baseball bat If you can connect on a golf ball with aluminum bat you can hit that thing like half a mile.
Speaker 4:Let's do it. I'm probably there, I know.
Speaker 3:We used to do it in my neighbor growing up.
Speaker 1:I'm down to give it a shot. Our neighbors.
Speaker 3:I don't know which neighbor's houses we hit, because they were far away, but we hit some of them.
Speaker 2:The only time we got golf balls was when one of our friends went raid the ponds at the golf course. Tim wasn't exactly the golfing type.
Speaker 3:So I know where you grew up. Like this wasn't full scuba gear. Like I've seen people that they have a business of getting golf balls out of the water.
Speaker 2:No, this was like midnight wasted with a five gallon bucket. I'm going to get some motherfucking balls, like feeling with your toes and finding the balls. If you're lucky, sometimes just dove down and grab a handful of balls.
Speaker 3:My dad lived by a golf course when I was little and it was right by the driving range. We figured out that we could stick our little hands through there and get all the range balls. And then the apartment complex he lived by was right by the Vermillion River and the airport was across the river. So then we would just tattoo golf balls all day long onto the runway. Motherfucker over here.
Speaker 5:So that gives me an idea.
Speaker 2:The FAA problem over here at eight, so we should get it.
Speaker 5:I have bats.
Speaker 2:I have had some golf balls.
Speaker 4:You have had to. You have had some bats, so we can go to.
Speaker 5:we're going to go to Scott's house and we're going to hit a golf ball down Kali saloon with the baseball bat and we're going to need something that's fast to go see if we can get how far it goes. So that's where the motorcycle comes in, okay.
Speaker 1:And you're going to take off.
Speaker 5:After you can try to catch the golf, holy moly.
Speaker 2:So you want me to drag race a golf ball that's coming off of a bat in traffic.
Speaker 4:I'm getting on the back again.
Speaker 5:He's going to be on the back?
Speaker 4:Well, because he has to film it. He's got a round. He's not going to catch it.
Speaker 5:He's just going to see how far I'm going to catch it. Can I add?
Speaker 2:one thing to this. But you're going to video, can we not do it on fucking Kali saloon? Yeah, I was thinking of the long straight. I appreciate you thinking about me man. But there's a lot. Most of it we did figure out.
Speaker 5:This is going to be at eight o'clock.
Speaker 3:The interstate system was built as a military thing To land planes Right. So we can do that. We don't have to do it in Kali saloon, we can do it on 10.
Speaker 2:I'm done. Okay, and I'm fine with that, because I want to see which one of y'all brave motherfuckers is going to stand there with a bat and a golf ball. And how many times are you going to miss while you dodge all these fucking cars that's coming around you?
Speaker 3:So I do remember one particular New Year's Eve. We used to always go hang out at Chuck's house.
Speaker 2:Poor Chuck's house.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and one particular news. We did all kind of stupid shit, but one of them did involve golf balls.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry about that again, dude.
Speaker 3:Was that the fault?
Speaker 2:I don't know if it was the fault of the traffic, but all the things I did in that house.
Speaker 1:We'd already talked about the fire couch yeah, the couch skiing.
Speaker 3:I had read about. Hunter S Thompson is an amazing individual. He's done so many things that I want to try and do in life. He ran for sheriff of Aspen, a pick in county at one point, but he used to do a thing called shotgun golf.
Speaker 1:Shotgun golf right.
Speaker 3:And it really wasn't about playing around at golf, because he would just hit golf. Golf ball is his property, but anyway, you hit a golf ball and the thing is is that the person next to you has a 12 gauge and they got to try to not get off its course. Nice, yeah, all right, so we did that in the middle of the night.
Speaker 5:I'll take a go tomorrow with you. That's property. We threw more than golf ball. We threw all kinds of shit.
Speaker 3:We threw all kinds of shit, but we were just throwing shit up.
Speaker 5:We were doing skeet, basically, but we're just whatever the fuck we can find. We're just throwing shit, paint cans and shit.
Speaker 2:if I remember, yeah, right, I mean whatever the fuck was in my bowl. Was this the same year I made Sparkle Bombs? What do you mean? Sparkle Bombs? This?
Speaker 5:was after years, I guess.
Speaker 1:Geez, you may or may not have made a bunch of Sparkle Bombs at blue 55 gallon drums to the top of trees. That's actually a limitation. Yeah, yeah, Okay, I got to get me. Good, I was like oh, so what happened?
Speaker 3:This was a so I was sober this year when we did the shotgun stuff and I think that's what happened is Matt used to love making those Sparkle Bombs. And then we got to the point where they stopped letting you they don't make those Sparklers.
Speaker 1:That's right.
Speaker 3:And that's when, this particular year, instead of having really one bad idea, we had like 20. Oh God, we did the couch surfing.
Speaker 1:I think we talked about that that was the same night. Yes, man, I was there for that.
Speaker 3:Yes, we did a lot of shit that particular night I missed that one Because of two things. One was the normal destructive thing to do, which took a while. And it was time consuming and I was sober, and when Matt has bad ideas and sober Scott's next to him, it's bad. Well, good that, no, it's great. We also mentioned how brilliant Matt's wife was, because she comes up with some of these ideas and whispers them to us. Yeah, so they people think it's hard. That's right. That's right, yeah.
Speaker 1:We talked about that last well, I don't know a couple of episodes ago or whatever. Yeah, like Julie, you have to say if you next to Juju, you can find out some things that you will not find out if you're five feet away.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:She runs the fucking show.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Just through other people. That's right.
Speaker 3:She's got these two idiots to do whatever she wants, yeah.
Speaker 1:She just uses y'all for entertainment, damn.
Speaker 2:I'm really not upset about it no me.
Speaker 1:None of us are None of us are.
Speaker 3:I'm very happy to be included. Yeah.
Speaker 5:The cow server thing was legit. Yeah, I was. There are people video and that kind of shit.
Speaker 2:Now that was the first time I tried to kill you. That was the first no, dude.
Speaker 4:You must have tried to kill me before that Late 2000s.
Speaker 2:No, I mean, I was like you could have actually died if I would have actually had a bike that went fast enough. Oh yeah, not hate on your bike. Well, actually I am, but I just I'm dragging your fucking couch with feet on it Come on through a pasture.
Speaker 3:I didn't even fall down.
Speaker 2:I know I was trying, yeah.
Speaker 4:But this is after Cleveland Street and all that. There's plenty of times you try to kill them.
Speaker 2:Well, no, I'm talking specifically about Like for some dumb reason, him and Brad.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, I was about to say back of my truck at stands for a ride home.
Speaker 2:This isn't my drinking days, and it's 2 30 in the morning, we're all drunk and I proceed to, in that very short distance, do everything I could to throw both of them out of the back of the ride home from this bar was about four blocks.
Speaker 3:Matt made it a 20 block ride. He took as many turns as possible on every turn he would got it and slam us all over. Except, this was not the first time I had gotten a ride home from Matt in the back of his truck. So to Eric's point has Matt tried to kill me before Many, many times?
Speaker 1:And then you got back there again.
Speaker 4:But this particular night I never missed out why everybody kept getting back there, because I got in the back one time but. I. When I got in the back it was with somebody else and I knew what the fuck I was doing and I almost laid down and put my arms and feet like one side of each side of the bed. You have to flip this motherfucker. And everybody else like what you doing. I'm like, I'm just taking a nap.
Speaker 3:As with most things where Matt tries to kill me, it's usually voluntary and it's usually me going. Let's figure out how to not die doing this. And Matt is 100% in on that. You got back into Toyota.
Speaker 2:You were home. We actually were both home.
Speaker 3:We were safe. We were at base. Well, I was on another night. I remember I jumped in that truck knowing fully well what I was agreeing to do, because Brad did not know.
Speaker 1:So I'm like, oh, that was Matt's goddess.
Speaker 3:We're going to ride home and back and Matt said OK, and I jump in the back of the truck and Brad just sat back there. He had his drink in his hand. His back was up against the cab right in the middle just relaxing. I got back there in the corner by the tailgate, had my arms on the outside of the truck where I was locked in Because.
Speaker 3:I knew the way the force was going to do was going to throw me towards that tailgate. Well, that first turn. Brad just comes tumbling down right towards the back.
Speaker 4:And as soon as he answered.
Speaker 3:Matt's done this enough times with me in the back so he has experienced it because I taught him. So he had it just right. So right when Brad got there and he's about to get himself together, he slams into the front of the truck. He was just laying on the front. It was great. It was like a little pinball machine.
Speaker 1:It's like tubing on a boat when a boat driver knows how to sling you on the tube.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, this was one of the hard things. That's nice, because we've done that too. Yeah, the tubing points.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that fucking hurts Every time we hear you talk about NASBoat, nasboat.
Speaker 4:So the reason NASBoat? Because NASCAR you just drive around and take left right. So we were in a pond and it was an oval shape, so we drove around and just took lefts.
Speaker 2:Isn't a party barge too.
Speaker 4:It was in a party barge, well, I think a 90. What was on the back of it, I don't remember. I thought y'all was NASBoat Y'all.
Speaker 3:Both had flat bottoms and you were actually racing, no no, no, because I wasn't there that day I was there. That day y'all decided we were going to go hydro-siding behind a party barge and a pond.
Speaker 2:Okay, Same party.
Speaker 3:Barge, you said lake, but Same pond Right, so I wasn't there for NASCAR explaining this to me, nasboat, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4:So the pond's kind of an oval shape, and they got an island in the middle of it, so you literally have to go all the way around it to make it all.
Speaker 3:This pond's not even the whole pond's not an acre. Oh no, it's a five-acre pond. It's big.
Speaker 4:The island in the middle is two acres, so it's a five-acre pond. That's pretty big and we got a party barge and it rolls because it's got a bigger engine on it. It should not be in this pond, not at all.
Speaker 5:So we my fish.
Speaker 4:We do all this dumb shit right? Well, I don't know where this little biscuit came from, but we ended up with this biscuit and we decided to pull each other behind the party barge. Well, when you take it left, all you have an option to do is throw people to the right, right. Yeah, so I went first, I went first, you went first, you just you didn't even.
Speaker 3:You weren't even there. I was there for the tubing day.
Speaker 4:Okay, that, yeah, that's what we talked about. That's when Nashville started.
Speaker 3:Okay, the tubing day? Yes, I was there for that, because I was the first one I drove and you were in the tube.
Speaker 4:Yes, yes, okay, yeah, that means.
Speaker 3:And that's when you figured out that I can only make him go right, but I can throw him as far right as I want.
Speaker 4:I can throw him far the fuck out of the pond to the right.
Speaker 3:So he made me go through a little bit of reeds at one point and that was it sucked. But then there's another part where he threw me up on the shore and I mean it's grass. But I'm telling you, there's a good six feet of grass between me and the water.
Speaker 4:Oh my God, and I'm just on this tube. He stayed. He stayed on the dam too. Hell yeah, back in the water, hell yeah.
Speaker 3:Get on that. I'm going to try and throw you off, as Matt said, with a couch. That is Scott's bread and butter. Let's go. You ain't throwing me off this thing.
Speaker 1:And I ain't trying to get thrown off on the land either.
Speaker 3:I'm a deaf grip stop, and I love going first, because then it makes Matt and our Eric because they're usually once driving go. I'm but the fuck, everybody else yeah. So I always go first, because you ain't going to fuck me up, and now everybody else gets brave.
Speaker 4:So we see what we're doing now. So we going around this oval in a fucking oval circle thing and throwing people up on a bench, so then I'm like all right, I'm going to go. Who's going to drive? Matt decided he's going to drive. I'm like all right, buddy, let's get it. This motherfucker, this motherfucker. I think it was like the first curve. This motherfucker came around his curve so fast that we're newly planted trees, trees, trees.
Speaker 4:Fuck your trees, trees, my flowers, trees, and I'm on the land on a tube. I'm land driving this tube straight into a tree because Matt sees a tree and he's like watch this shit. What so? You know how long you stay on a tube before you bail and decide you have to grab a tree? I don't, because I've never jumped off. It fucking sucks. All right, I'm getting off of this tube that is now driving on land because I have to catch this tree, because I don't want to hit it, I want to try and minimize me hitting this tree.
Speaker 4:And that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 2:I just picture you stomping that tree back in the fucking ground.
Speaker 4:I hit the tree so hard that the tree's leaning at this point, so it's in the tree anyway. It's a freshly planted tree but it's not like a baby stick tree. It's like a tree that you can buy a tree for like a several hundreds, if not a thousand dollars. You don't want to wait.
Speaker 3:If you're impatient, You're like I want a tree now, not 20 years from now. Right, it's like a 10-year-old tree but they just planted it yeah. Somebody's hacked the thing they used to say if it was the best time to plant a tree, and he's like I plant it now and it's a 20-year-old tree, right, right.
Speaker 4:So I'm fucking full blast to this tree and I finally I just let go of the biscuit because I'm like I got this tree coming, I got to catch it and I can't just tree and I bet the whole motherfucking tree. So by the time they get back around, I'm trying to replant this tree. I'm like pulling on it, stopping getting water up there. Whoa, fuck you guys. What the fuck are you doing?
Speaker 1:I'm like, uh, but you let go, so you wouldn't hit the tree, and you still hit the tree.
Speaker 4:No, I let go, so I wouldn't hit my face on the tree and then. I minimized me, hitting my face. I got you. That's what I did. I caught the tree Control devastation.
Speaker 2:I mean, uh, I guess etiquette would dictate that I would apologize to you for that. No, I'm sorry, but I'm not.
Speaker 4:It created a whole thing because after that that was the second round, and then we kept playing, yeah, so.
Speaker 3:Matt had to get on it at some point too, and Eric paid him back. Matt had to get on. You know, I said those reeds kind of sucked they were like six foot high reeds, and their conneries are sharp a little bit.
Speaker 4:Yes, the ones with the hot dogs, eric put me kind of in them. It's the corn dog, kind of reeds. Yeah, I kept that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, eric threw me in them, at the edge of it.
Speaker 3:It's where I could lean away and I was like that sucked because it caught my arm. He put Matt through them.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, matt went straight through them.
Speaker 2:When you're going through them, they're six feet out of the water.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So you're going in low and it's coming around and smacking.
Speaker 3:He got lashings.
Speaker 2:Oh, don't they miss it when somebody goes stream ringing a bell or something.
Speaker 3:So, once again, when they come up with shitty ideas, one I try to make them worse, but also I go first Go first Because the idea gets worse, because it gets worse. One other thing is.
Speaker 5:I just got thrown on the shore and I was like this is sketchy, but I made it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they said oh, you can survive going on the shore. Let's see what we can throw. Let's see what we can do.
Speaker 1:And then if you're like, hey, you want to go again. No, no, I'm good, I did it already, I'm good. Oh, no, you never go again. No, never go again.
Speaker 4:I never go with the person who drew.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if you was on the tube, don't go with the person who drove you.
Speaker 4:Yeah. That's mean, yeah, that's mean, because that's exactly what I did. I got it. Man, it's your turn.
Speaker 2:Let's play, yeah, now switch, and that's why Scott's always my. I don't want to say moral compass because I mean, no, I don't have any of those.
Speaker 1:But Scott says it's a bad idea.
Speaker 2:It's a bad fucking idea because he's done really bad. Especially, we've done a lot of those together.
Speaker 4:Most of the time when he says, OK, let's do it yeah.
Speaker 3:You should try it like this yeah.
Speaker 4:What if we? I see your idea. How about if we wasted?
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was like man, let's steal that cop car. It's gonna be like we're not in. Maurice, you can't do that again.
Speaker 3:How many cop cars have you stolen? Just one. That's why I thought that's good, just double checking. That's what I'm saying I didn't know if the number I got any bigger. Yeah.
Speaker 1:You're like do I need to go home and do some work?
Speaker 3:I mean, even if it gets to two, we have to talk.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Anything above one, we're gonna have to have a discussion, okay.
Speaker 2:It was funny, the first time I haven't even been in a cop car since like, oh wait, well I should, that's a long time ago yeah.
Speaker 3:That's better than me, and you did it as a friend. I didn't get asked if I wanted to run the cop car. Oh yeah, oh man, it is what it is.
Speaker 5:You're gonna get in here, buddy? I think I'm 2010. Since being in a cop car, yeah, what? So when we owned a check cash in place, uh-huh, when we were shutting it down, we were closing out, we were selling the place.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 5:I took one of the girls. They wrote they had to write us a check right for the loan. So I went and cast a check. She reported it as stolen because she didn't want the money out. The cops came getting me from my house in Scott. Ah, bruce RPD comes getting me all the way from my house in Scott, what With the sheriff's department, lafayette, parish and Bruce R. So I walk out. We're at a house on 30 acres, right? Jennifer is 10 months pregnant. Right, rebecca's due in a month. Cool, nine months pregnant.
Speaker 5:You know like Rebecca's almost there and I'm like all right, can I follow you there? I'll grab the file. Like explain to them. I'm like so what's going on? Like they told me what's going on. Oh, look, we want to check cash in the payday loan company. I cashed her check. She didn't come in. Was she supposed to pay? That's the rule, you know Like. So there was money. The bank cashed it. I cashed it. It was made out to me. It is what it is. And he's like uh, well, you need to come down so we could talk about it. Yeah, no problem, can I follow you there? No, I'm like what? Well, your wife came out kind of aggressive and I'm like arrest her.
Speaker 2:Fuck, can I do?
Speaker 5:this I was. I was being this ain't something. That was part, yeah, well, no so. And then they were like were you being argumentative too. And I'm like, well, yeah, because I own a business in Broussard, I pay taxes in the city. Where in the Broussard caught wouldn't even come talk to me. This is the sheriff's department talking to me and I'm like I'll follow you there. Where do you want me to go? You can put some. There's two cop cars. I'm gonna have one in front, one in the back. I'm not running away.
Speaker 5:Here's my shit Like. You know where I'm at, you know where I live. Now it's not like I can fucking run.
Speaker 3:I should have told them they can drive each other.
Speaker 4:That works.
Speaker 5:That's how you get a hook. It works. I can kiss my ass. They're not driving my shit. You seen those fuckers drive. They don't know what the fuck they do. Well, I agree too.
Speaker 3:I wouldn't give them my keys, I'd give them my friend's keys.
Speaker 5:So yeah, that's what I wrote in the cop car. I had to sit there, and then so Jennifer comes and they wouldn't tell us who, they just told us what happened.
Speaker 1:Somebody said you had a.
Speaker 5:Jennifer had to bring Some fucking bullshit All the files Like she had to bring a shit ton of files of all of the last people we didn't know who. We didn't know who to bring, so if they thought she was they wrote an application Like they wrote and signed a contract. They signed a contract saying if we don't show up, you can cast a check. That's the way to rule work.
Speaker 3:So if they thought she was being aggressive, wait till they made her go grab all the files. Huh.
Speaker 5:Oh yeah, she rolled in there. She rolled in there. Let them know what's up. Coming in hot, I can't imagine she showed up soft and then the cop comes talking to me.
Speaker 4:Especially after you got in a cup car, then he wants to come tell me he's sorry, and I'm like.
Speaker 5:I looked at him like A phone call would have worked. My number's on the freaking door. Why not just call me and say, hey, can you come down and talk to me about this?
Speaker 4:Yeah, and then arrest me next week.
Speaker 3:Yes, sir, you're not famous or rich enough to get to come in on your own, yeah.
Speaker 2:You got one person says some shit, and now you just lost at least half your day. Oh yeah, if not a full day. I imagine how rich that is Because somebody else said some shit. That ain't what you you know you have no control over anything.
Speaker 5:Now you I said that for three, four hours probably.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm saying, and you don't even get to know who it is.
Speaker 5:I know, Until I got there, yeah.
Speaker 2:That is some amazing bullshit.
Speaker 5:It is Because they weren't going to tell me until I'm like look if you don't tell me who it is, I can't prove to you what's going on. I was like but y'all know where it's coming from. I own the company.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 5:I pointed out. My wife and I own the business. Just tell me who it is and I'll tell you what happened. Like they were supposed to come on. They're supposed to be there on a certain day. If they're not there, I go catch them and check if they have money in their account. They don't have money in their account, they don't have to go knock on their door. It's like you came knocking on my door. Oh yeah, so that's the last time I was in a cop car Damn.
Speaker 1:Good times.
Speaker 4:Good times.
Speaker 1:You kind of surprised me when you said you had been in a cop car. Could you have been in a cop car, probably? I mean, I only been in one once and it wasn't because I was getting arrested. They were just giving me a ride to a car after I thought a car got stolen, so, like your shit was legit, they would come and get you because you had stolen some shit. Well, accused, allegedly, yeah.
Speaker 3:I've never had the cops come find me.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I've never been in a cop, car I always found them.
Speaker 4:I've never been in a cop car before. I've been in a jail cell not a cop car. I'm always. Oh, there they are. How'd you get in a cop car? Because there is a lot of us and they just follow us. They did the thing that Chuck was trying to get them to do they like drive to the police station. They took all of our licenses. They had cars cop in front of us and behind us and we all drove together to the police station.
Speaker 2:Damn.
Speaker 5:Jesus Damn.
Speaker 1:That shouldn't have happened in all of these. No, that would have been a while back. That was really low.
Speaker 3:I thought it would have been like 16 at that point I picked up somebody one time from the police station and they didn't actually put them in the jail, they just said call somebody to come get you Sit right here. Mm-hmm, it was my mom. I had to get Matt to bring me because I was too drunk to drive. To pick up my mom at the jail.
Speaker 4:From what.
Speaker 3:Oh, she got in trouble at the casino and was yelling at people and she was drunk Because she was what Drunk.
Speaker 4:Well, she got drunk and she had worn a bunch of money. I definitely knew it was in there. I'm not even sure I remember the story, but I knew it was in there. That's why I was.
Speaker 3:She won Money Plans, Slots and dropped her a little ticket because she was too drunk and somebody else picked it up and cashed it in. Oh shit.
Speaker 1:And she was hot, oh yeah, she should have Hot a bit hot too, oh yeah, damn.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they picked up and barred the jail.
Speaker 1:Drunk in public.
Speaker 4:Mm-hmm. I got pulled over one time and allegedly I was drinking and the cop wouldn't let us leave. He didn't arrest me, wouldn't let us leave. Call somebody you know to pick you up. I'm like motherfucker. Everybody I knew is just where I just left.
Speaker 1:They all drunk too.
Speaker 4:I'm sitting there, you're just trying to set them up. And I'm like uh how am I going? To do this. Well, a friend of mine had a DUI like two weeks before that, and I called him because he was not drinking.
Speaker 1:Oh, because he wasn't drinking.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, they're like fuck. You just got one with two, hey bro.
Speaker 2:I know you ain't doing nothing. I know you're not doing shit. Can you cook Rippy? Good fucking lord Damn. Yep, I'm amazed I'm still not in jail.
Speaker 4:I don't know how life he had did what life he did in the 2000s.
Speaker 2:I'm glad I did we're in a whole different level now.
Speaker 3:But, while I'm so happy it is the way it is now, but God damn it.
Speaker 4:Oh it is. Yeah, I wouldn't be, I don't even want as an adult, I don't even want it to be like we know, not me, like everything else we talk about, like we were feral children growing up and we were so proud of it.
Speaker 3:But God, I'm kind of happy the kids don't have to do these shit we did these days.
Speaker 2:Now you say that. And, chris, I'm taking back every bad thing I said about church, point Dude. I'm on my way over here. I see three little kids playing in a ditch. I was like hell, yeah, none of them had a shirt on. Damn, there wasn't a shoe to be seen. Damn a shirt on this weather.
Speaker 5:No, it was great. Who the hell is wearing a shirt?
Speaker 2:None of them had on shirts, none, it was just in one of my. Pretty sure he was in his casons. Then a little bit further down the road there's this dude just standing in a field with a fucking rifle and he's tops like 15, 16.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:I didn't know, maybe he's hunting kids.
Speaker 5:Was he looking at the road?
Speaker 4:No, he was just getting out of my ditch in the field.
Speaker 2:No, this was for way further down, to like a couple of miles. Ok, ok, and I'm like he didn't drive up and ask him.
Speaker 3:All right, I didn't know which way he was looking.
Speaker 5:He was looking at the road, like just waiting for someone, or was he looking in the field?
Speaker 2:Oh, he was looking in the field.
Speaker 5:He was trying to shoot a coyote, or something.
Speaker 2:Maybe a coyote or a pig or something, but it's like, all right, kid.
Speaker 5:Standing like.
Speaker 2:Some kid fucking around his ditch Like 20 yards off the road, Like yeah, I'm about to fuck shit up Nice. And then I pull up to an intersection there's fresh donut marks. All right, Kids are getting out and doing shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah they live their life over here.
Speaker 5:They live it up in church point.
Speaker 2:Chris, I take all the bad shit away. You got it, bro.
Speaker 3:Thank you, I know man, I've been trying to and I've been working on it too of going back to some of those old days of, like, getting away from the smartphone.
Speaker 2:Make it thing into what it was supposed to be, which is a tool Instead of your attention occupier.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's a beautiful thing I know you said you got all the social media apps off your phone.
Speaker 2:All the social media apps, all the news.
Speaker 3:All the news, everything.
Speaker 2:Only thing that my phone does is give me information that I need, not information that somebody's trying to shove down my throat in their opinion. So then if you want to.
Speaker 1:So you still have social media, though you just put it on a device that you have to go to, like a computer or whatever. I have to use a PC, yeah, so it's like old school TV, right Bingo. If I want to watch TV, I'm going to turn the TV on, if I don't, it's going to be off.
Speaker 2:Also fake Facebook page.
Speaker 1:That's what we talked about, that before. We talked about the Finscus, the Finscus, the full.
Speaker 2:Yeah, dude, I hadn't really been using it, scrolling through it or anything like that, but I've been slowly but surely adding pages from this page to this page. Over here Groups this, that and the other, and today I sat down and scrolled through it. It's pictures of Colorado. It's pictures of Nevada. It's this dude in a trail riding group that's showing me the things around Ure.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I got one. It's dogs and food porn Poppy videos yeah. And people doing weird stuff, diy, yeah, and I send them to Matt. I'm like, look at this. And he's like there's no way. I'm going to try to do that, yeah.
Speaker 2:But it's just, it's all the stuff I want. I want to see none of the stuff I don't want to see. I don't care that that person over there coming on some other shit. I'm glad they did. You found something you like and I'm always happy when somebody finds something they're like. Man, I don't like your shit. Yeah, Fuck your shit. I want to see my shit.
Speaker 5:I remember the other day you said something about that where you were like oh, I only look at it on my computer, it's not on your phone, kind of thing. But so I don't have an office, I don't sit at an office, kind of thing. So when I take a break, fucking right, I'm just I'm going to be in my truck with my phone. I understood. So I'm the same way. I kind of want this shit off my phone, but at the same time now that's how you keep up with people, or if you're trying to market something or you're trying to do something- so I'm like get rid of it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think I'm trying to figure out a way. I'm going to put it on my iPad Because I'm like you, some days I'm working away from the office, yeah, but I think I'm going to put it on my iPad. But I took all that stuff off my phone too.
Speaker 1:I like that idea.
Speaker 3:My phone is it's phone text messages, which I have, multiple messaging apps Because different people use different ones, and then email and I got my internet browser. The rest of the stuff on there is actually like utilities that the phone is useful for.
Speaker 1:And then if you have some downtime and you want to be entertained, then you go to a different device.
Speaker 3:I got to go grab the tablet or go get on the computer.
Speaker 1:That way, if you go to dinner and you send down at dinner, you just you ain't got you.
Speaker 3:I don't even have the option.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's right. It's not there you entertain yourself now with who's at dinner with you.
Speaker 3:I had the go.
Speaker 1:I think I might, I might bust that tonight.
Speaker 3:You know when it's going to piss you off, though I figured it out already.
Speaker 1:When I'm traveling? No, because I can bring my device. We taking a shit. I grabbed that phone and I'm like, hey, nothing on this thing except read emails.
Speaker 3:Fuck this, I got to read it.
Speaker 1:No, Now I got to go. Oh, I got to remember to go grab my iPad shit so fast.
Speaker 2:I'm like in there like speedy Gonzalez, pee on, go on. I'm not trying to hang out in the room where it's just shit.
Speaker 3:I mean, I'm not either it just depends on the day, but I can get yourself a dog and you have to worry about being entertained while you take the shit, those motherfuckers don't give a shit about your door. They smell it and they come running.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like, oh great.
Speaker 3:He can't move.
Speaker 2:He has to scratch me now.
Speaker 1:So I like that idea, though, Because I guess every time I ever hear somebody talk about oh, I've got a real Facebook off my phone, I'm like well damn, I like, I enjoy it because it's a method in which I get entertainment.
Speaker 3:When I want it.
Speaker 1:Right now it's just really easy because it's on my phone, so I could be doing this right now and grab it and do it, which whenever we're doing these episodes, I don't. I put it on the ground, right. I try to get rid of it Now. I got an Apple watch now, so it buzzes me every once in a while, but that's it off. Well, but it doesn't have Facebook on it right or any social media that does. I don't get any notifications from that.
Speaker 3:That would be to say that I could just take it ever. That's why I like I have a lot of notifications off Like.
Speaker 1:I don't have any notifications like my phone never buzzes me about anything.
Speaker 2:Social media was my phone Don't make noise unless it's somebody I'm worried about dying. Yeah, parents, juju drew. You know other than that?
Speaker 3:that phone don't make a sense. That's why I had to leave the messaging apps and like the email along there yes nobody hears. Their phone doesn't ring in, right.
Speaker 2:Mine doesn't know. If your phone rings, it's like, oh fuck, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:So we all use signal and we've used signal, now more of a social media kind of thing instead of just a text messaging app. Right, but I was wondering another day why I enjoy signals so much more than anything else. Like I don't Facebook, twitter, instagram. I got them all and I play with them all. I have the answer already. I don't need your answer, I have it.
Speaker 2:It's because, it's because I'm on it.
Speaker 1:Eric has these weird pop quizzes where he already has the answer.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's a pop quiz where I already know the answer. But look why do you like it more? Right, because it's only the people you actually give a fuck about. It's not everybody else, it's not so. And so, from high school and their child's first day of school, all this other shit, yeah, so one what I had done with a signal to is.
Speaker 3:I know I'm the one that dragged a bunch of people onto it, but it created a lot of different groups that have, like, their own subject matter. So you really can go in there and say, kind of like those facer groups, matt, still a part of you, can go in there and know that this is a safe place for this material.
Speaker 4:It's a joke, right, you turned it into a text app and made it a social media. Correct For us, but a very small.
Speaker 1:Good.
Speaker 2:Very small, 20 people. You made a Cleveland Street Reddit.
Speaker 4:It was the people that we talked to the most in a social media. So what I did in Facebook is I went through and started unfollowing everybody that I don't. That's not in my immediate life right now, like today's life, not five years ago life, not high school life, like so and so from high school, their kid went to school and great, that's amazing and I'm happy for you that your kid went to first day of school.
Speaker 3:That is why I went on this rampage of getting all the shit off my phone. I mean, Matt's been doing this for a while. It's the school pictures. It was everybody going to school.
Speaker 4:Yes. Not again, it's the school pictures, because, matt, you've been on this kick for a while, yeah, right.
Speaker 2:I've bitched about it for several months, as I typically do, and then one day something flipped my wig and I was like you know what? Nothing bad happens if this phone's not on my, if this app's not on my phone.
Speaker 3:Yeah, right, so there's something bad. That happened to me was a bunch of kids going to school, right, I agree, cause you know, what I remember now is they did not have this shit when I went to school, but I know in like two weeks there's gonna be some special dress update and I'm gonna have to see all this shit again, all again, and they do like 17 times during the year now. I think we had like free dress Friday, like once when I was in school.
Speaker 2:Like one Friday and you had to sell like 4,000 tickets, a raffle ticket to get to wear some fucking jeans.
Speaker 3:I forgot about that shit. I had to go. You know how many people are still getting magazines from me from like 1982 to socket, wear jeans one day. Yeah, and they're still getting that magazine. Sausage pull, board, sausage pull board.
Speaker 2:I sold nine million sausage pull boards.
Speaker 1:To wear jeans one day, correct.
Speaker 2:To wear jeans one day.
Speaker 4:All of my, everybody in my dad's office bought enough sausage pull boards to end hunger in Africa For me to wear jeans one day, and so now, the way they do it at taking school, you could just pay a dollar, yeah.
Speaker 5:That's what they do.
Speaker 4:You're like oh they sell all this shit, or you could just pay a dollar.
Speaker 2:Check this out chief here's about 365 for the year. That's what I was like here.
Speaker 4:Here's $20 for the year, and just let me know when you run low.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Fuck outta here.
Speaker 4:Well, they find like that Don't burn me anymore these stupid tickets.
Speaker 3:Now public schools actually got to the point where I think y'all were talking about it and I appreciated it going to private school was they wear uniforms. I mean, I really did Like the fact that I could get up every day and I have to fucking think about it.
Speaker 2:I fucking hated it with a passion. And look at me now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you just made your own, but you're okay with it as long as you do it. As long as it's you make the decision to do it.
Speaker 2:It was white and brown.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know, but now you just wear blackened jeans. It was convenient if you shit your pants, it was.
Speaker 3:It was I did when I went in grade school. It was brown pants we had to wear brown, we fought, we fought. And I shit my pants once and they don't.
Speaker 5:They wanted us to make ID wear IDs.
Speaker 3:We didn't even wear IDs.
Speaker 5:They wanted us to wear IDs, they wanted us to wear school uniforms. They were bringing all this stuff in the same way at Parrish whenever we were in high school, or they were trying to bring it into our school and we had actually had a walkout Because they wanted us to make A walkout. You were in the uniform, so this is all planned, ready to go. We had two or three news channels. Were there Like?
Speaker 3:between the like.
Speaker 5:I was a junior, between the juniors and the seniors. We had it all planned out and everyone was in. We were all walking out and then all of a sudden the bell rings and somebody told one of the teachers. Some of the teachers found out. I mean it could have been because everybody was running their fucking mouth. I mean the news channel, the news was there. Why is the news?
Speaker 2:here, all the teachers lined up. High school people, it's not like.
Speaker 5:All the teachers lined up by the doors and walked us into the auditorium and we had to go sit down and talk about everything I thought you were gonna tell me, like chain the doors shut oh no, we had beer and food and all kind of shit sitting in the parking lot. Dude, we were ready, we were going to hang out in the parking lot.
Speaker 2:Now I've been doing work in St Mary Parrish. They got kill boxes now so you got to get buzzed in to this foyer. And then they got to buzz you out of that foyer to go anywhere, so they got a spot they can get you, but it's security for the school. Hey man, I'm all for it. The.
Speaker 4:Mad Season, Mads kill box. You see that security.

Speaker 2:And not just like at one school, one kill box. And not just at like one school, mold school, school same.
Speaker 4:This is the vernacular for the school.
Speaker 5:Everyone thought our school was crazy because we had like a fence with barbara on top, like we looked like a. Was it keeping people in or out?
Speaker 3:Both, both, Both okay.
Speaker 2:Frank, let's see how it looks like a prison.
Speaker 5:It looks like a prison when you walk in.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, oh yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 1:That's 100%.
Speaker 3:I mean, look, with all the shootings that have been going on around here. Mads told me too that he's surprised at how lax security is in some places. Like he rolls up in his black T-shirt and jeans because that's the work, you know, like that's not messed up in my nice clothes, yeah it looked like it and they're just like I was in high school.
Speaker 4:Where do you need to go? Yep, I'm not.
Speaker 5:I can't tell you. I mean, I had a note from like my sophomore year in high school that was like, oh, let Chuck go to the store, or whatever. Blah, blah, blah. And they didn't put a date on it.
Speaker 4:Chuck needs cigarettes. Chuck needs cigarettes at 1 PM. That should be about right.
Speaker 2:The shit you used to be able to get away with with a note from your mom.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:And the shit you used to be able to get away with, if you could learn how to write like your mom. Oh, yeah, oh yeah, Cause it's bam.
Speaker 1:Neighborhood store or A-mom Buyin' cigarettes.
Speaker 4:They didn't have to be your mom. They didn't know who.
Speaker 2:So yeah, mine was also your mom, yeah. My mom was also the secretary at school. Oh yeah, my mom's kind of screwed.
Speaker 3:My mom just did like authority, so I had shit going for me.
Speaker 5:So you were good, I got this.
Speaker 3:I left home early enough to get to school in time, mostly cause my stepdad was really good about waking up early, but I brought one of my friends to school every day and every time I got to his house he was never ready. I ate two breakfasts every day my senior high school, because I'd get over there and his mom's, like you want to have breakfast, Like she's still cooking it. I'm like school's starting right now. I'd rather both the problem, but yes, I do so. I'd get late every day for first period.
Speaker 4:I would like whatever.
Speaker 3:I did good enough grades, but they always. You had to go to the secretary. You had to go to like Matt's mom and she asked you why are you late? And she had to write your excuse and you had to give it to your teacher.
Speaker 2:I was late so much and they would give you drugs. Yeah, I got a headache. No problem, there you go. Reach in there, per se, there you go.
Speaker 3:I was late so much I started making up shit though too why? Are you late. I'm like I got it dusted by aliens on the way to school and she'd write abducted by aliens because she knew she's like. This is dumb.
Speaker 1:Nobody cares, nobody's looking at it.
Speaker 3:Why are you late? The dog ate my keys.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I had to wait for her to get them.
Speaker 4:So they still do like talent on the stuff, but I get an email every time she gets talent.
Speaker 1:We had to approve it at the beginning of the year.
Speaker 4:Yes, you can give her talent, and then I get an email. There's been an event. Your child came in at 11, 14, 8am and got a talent. I'm like it's not a fucking event. We did the same thing.
Speaker 5:There's been an event.
Speaker 3:My mom hated those school people, sometimes too.
Speaker 5:We had senior skip day, yeah, and everybody was playing on skipping and once again, like Chuck's.
Speaker 3:I don't know because we didn't call the news, but apparently somebody found out when senior skip day was and they actually announced it Like they brought us all in the room and they said we know this happened. If y'all miss, you can be in trouble. Cool, cool, let's just do it. The day before, 9% of my class went to school that day and my mom was like I told her about it. I came home like hey, they figured out when she was two years to give days. She's like fuck that, what do you mean? She's like well, you and she called a couple of my friends' parents and they all call school next day and they were like Scott's sick and they're like well, we know, we heard there's moms like are you?
Speaker 3:trying to fucking tell me I don't know when my child's sick.
Speaker 5:He's sitting right next to me right now.
Speaker 3:He's not coming to school, he's sick. And then she said us up, we went to some point and had to fund that day.
Speaker 1:Oh no, no, she knew she's like fuck.
Speaker 3:They want to try to fuck this up. I'll fuck them. Yeah, that's awesome. I just watched this Trini was a G man.
Speaker 4:Oh, she was, she was, she definitely was.
Speaker 1:That's funny. You know what? You didn't make that rule, we didn't make that. They trying to put a rule on us.
Speaker 3:Fuck it, we doing it, I mean look, I was one of those Gen X fair old childs to some extent I mean thankfully. It's partly because my mom had was a single mom for a while. I had to be that latchkey kid. Yeah, from two, 30 to five, 30 every day. I was on my fucking home. Yeah, get off that bus. And if I made it home, that was up to me. Just get home before mom.
Speaker 4:I don't even know how we did that shit. I still ask my parents that time, like they said that my school was in an extremely questionable part of town and they sent me on four years on a bus. They're like peace, peace yo. Have a good day.
Speaker 1:See you this afternoon.
Speaker 4:You know where I'm going.
Speaker 3:Well, I mean, I saw people talking about school pickup lines and I think I asked that question because I'm like school pickup lines were not that big of a deal. I mean, we had them, but it wasn't like these 17 mile long lines because we all had to ride the bus. Not only after I had to ride the bus, but then I think somebody was talking about well, yeah, the bus stops here and everybody you know goes to the parents go there. Yeah, I was like whoa. I didn't have that either.
Speaker 1:No, they picked me up from my house.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, wait, the bus came to your house.
Speaker 1:My bus picked me up. I had to have jobs in the middle of fucking nowhere. There's no pickup point. I was the pickup point, but, yes, in front of my house.
Speaker 3:No, our stop did some like it was at a hardware store at one point in my life and another one was at this stop sign. But no, scott had to make himself get to the bus stop on time. I'd ride my little bike and school started at like seven in the morning, six, 30 sometimes, because my school couldn't afford to own buses so we had to borrow them from another school. Yeah, I'd be in the pitch black standing next to a stop sign by myself.
Speaker 2:Hold on, wait a minute. Would you do it the bike while you were at school?
Speaker 3:Changed it up to a fence. My parents knew a person that lived in that town house. I mean he said I could chain it up to their fence.
Speaker 2:I'd hide it behind some bushes and I'd chain it up, obviously not in Abbeyville, oh no.
Speaker 3:Big old town of Bruce, our Louisiana, before he got bougie.
Speaker 5:Before he got bougie.
Speaker 1:No, my pick me up in front of my no.
Speaker 4:I did too, because my dad screamed at him because they said our road wasn't long enough. And he got one of them, little wheels with the little thing that you walk, and he walked. It needs to be 70. And he walked the whole thing. He's like 71. I don't know what the units were, but yeah. So he fought with them and they drove and they picked me up at my house. So the bus stop in my whole street was at my house because about that yellow yeah.
Speaker 5:The bus stop was at my house so everyone had to walk to our driver. So everyone's standing out there in the cold.
Speaker 3:I'd be sitting in my house waiting for the bus to turn around the car Take out. Oh, I guarantee, if they had told my mom that she had to be at the bus stop with me, then the bus stop would have been at the house. But it did not. She did not have to be, so she did not give it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she was like oh, just go ahead and meet that, that's his problem.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm, and now the only bus stop I want to deal with is in Caron Crow and some delicious chicken food.
Speaker 5:I was wondering where that was going.
Speaker 4:I don't want to go to no bus stop in Caron Crow. I didn't do that, but yeah, the bus stops pretty dope Bottomless fries dude.
