For a second there. I thought you said foam finger. I was like you could get one. Could be they still?
Speaker 3:make shit like that. A foam finger, I'm sure Sports yeah.
Speaker 2:They still make that. Doesn't want sports yeah they do.
Speaker 4:I don't see them at sporting events anymore, though.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you don't see them as much, but they still have them out there.
Speaker 1:You know I, probably somebody caught somebody else on fire with one and they were like no, you can't do that Caught somebody on fire with a foam finger.
Speaker 2:Oh, my goodness, I'm trying to think of what else could cause a foam finger to get banned. I mean foam fingers are flammable. I mean put that shit in my fucking face.
Speaker 4:They mostly, they stop being so generic, so like, yeah, you'll see. You know, at an L shoe game it's like a foam tiger paw, tiger paw. I am.
Speaker 1:With a little you know like Makes sense.
Speaker 2:Why do a?
Speaker 1:finger when you can do your mascot Right.
Speaker 2:Nowadays is too easy to make something custom.
Speaker 4:Yeah, just too insane, because I guess, if you made the finger, you'd have to give the guy who ever invented the first foam finger his royalties for?
Speaker 3:their shape, whereas if you make your own thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know that dude, it's always about having your own IP, absolutely.
Speaker 1:You know, I do.
Speaker 4:Make your own IP and keep it.
Speaker 2:I don't hate on that. Look Dan.
Speaker 1:I would love to know what that man has made for licensing the trademark of the phone finger Number, one Only number one of them. Every time you see it's printed. I think it was down in the left hand side you saw a little trade. Oh yeah, wow, I mean everybody's got a trademark on something you know, uh oh, what are you after I? Don't know, he's looking up something terrible.
Speaker 2:I'm certain he's about to tell us the foam fingers.
Speaker 1:Oh who has the foam? Oh, it's kind of like what the fuck? Uh Taco Tuesday dude that got kicked into balls by Taco Bell and he can't use Taco Tuesday anymore.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:He held the trademark for Taco Tuesday for decades and Taco Bell took him to court and they took that shit from him. Wow, because of his phrase, because I said it's too generic. I don't remember the exact wording as to what it was, but they had this point.
Speaker 3:Taco Bell doesn't want the trademark, they just want to be able to use it I think so Without having to pay for it, right. I don't know if it was that or if they want or if they have the trademark, so I can see maybe they said it was too generic of a term or it was a that term belongs to everybody kind of term.
Speaker 4:Yeah, taco Tuesday. That's what generic is legally, that everybody has it, that everybody has a right to it.
Speaker 1:That fucking blows. What if you based some shit around that? What I mean? I understand this was just like some dude with like three taco stores, but like I mean look quick, trademark is.
Speaker 4:It's about the consumers not getting confused. And then so for you to have a trademark, you basically have to convince people that, whatever that word or picture, whatever, it is Is directly associated with you and your product. And it's part like, yeah, I want to go in a store and if I see something says Coca-Cola on the can, I know it's from the people in Atlanta, right. And not somebody else down the road.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Because only they get to put that on their cans. That way I know what's in the can.
Speaker 1:Yet if you ask somebody for a Coke, they ask you what kind.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's a whole nother conversation, for sure.
Speaker 4:Right, but that's the idea of on. It is so that you know what the fuck you're getting. Yeah, so I can see why you'd want to protect it somewhat. But yeah, for it to become generic though that's, it's on you to keep reminding the public that that's your product and not just a thing like that. Xerox had that happen to them. And one point is people started just saying go get me a Xerox.
Speaker 3:Right, I'm in a copy.
Speaker 4:Yeah, they didn't mean so Xerox had to start doing as it said. It's not a. It's not a Xerox unless it's on a Xerox. Yeah.
Speaker 1:They keep saying, hey, use the word copy. We need to use the word copy. I can see the giant Xerox icon from way back in the days black and white it was, it was needle.
Speaker 4:So if you want an example of something that was an actual trademark at one point, it was. It was a product name that somebody made up out of thin air Aspirin Ah yeah, Aspirin was a name. It was what the guy named this compound. It was what he gave it. It was Bayer and they came out with it and called it aspirin. But it was so popular People started using it and other people started making that same product and calling it aspirin. Calling it aspirin, oh wow.
Speaker 4:And it became generic Damn. So now you buy Bayer aspirin. They had to start putting his name on it to get Yo it's my ass to the same. Hey, I'm the one that started this thing Damn, so you can lose it if you don't use it.
Speaker 3:So I guess, since this one restaurant, I assume it's just a one restaurant- I think he had like two or three of them. Okay, so probably in one state.
Speaker 1:So that's part of the taco.
Speaker 3:Tuesday is a term in a completely different state, that he has no reach.
Speaker 4:That's part of it too. It's how much is the reach? How likely is the consumer in wherever?
Speaker 3:I'll have to look it up and see. So maybe Taco Bell doesn't say it in that one town, right, you know?
Speaker 1:So I just printed stuff on stuff.
Speaker 2:I'm smoked.
Speaker 1:It's generic. Fuckin' Taco Bell, you make magazines. I had to say I had to fucking do the uses trademark.
Speaker 2:Matt came up with a great slogan for me, and now I can't.
Speaker 1:I print stuff off on stuff. Print stuff on stuff. Wait why you can't trademark it. It's too generic. It's not too generic. Who says it's not generic? Have you tried? No, Then shut the fuck up.
Speaker 2:Maybe, I need to go do it.
Speaker 4:The more you get into phrases, the more you can get into trademarking things Just a word. But, just a word, it starts to become or maybe not print stuff on stuff.
Speaker 1:We print stuff on stuff, then it's just slogan, it is my slogan. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Just saying it's you saying something. You know what I mean. Maybe I need to do a trademark down.
Speaker 4:But so your trademarks also in pictures and stuff like that are like jerseys, yeah. So if you ever notice how a lot of teams do their throwback jerseys, it's to put it back out in circulation so that they don't lose. Oh. Oh, the IP, and then somebody else can't go make it Right, Because if they let it go too long then they abandon it and somebody else can have it, oh you aren't using it and at some point the court goes you can't hoard everything forever.
Speaker 1:You got to use it. So then you just do a limited run of it. Yeah, like it's special, you charge extra and you maintain your trademark. Correct, it's fucking fancy, yeah.
Speaker 4:So when you see throwbacks out there, there's a reason, yeah.
Speaker 2:Money behind it. Just follow the money, just follow the money.
Speaker 1:How are you going to follow money? It goes everywhere.
Speaker 4:It's not too hard to figure out the copyright side of it, which is sort of goes along the same lines.
Speaker 3:But the copyright all exists when you write or create a character or do something like that.
Speaker 4:And the way we have it is so many years after somebody's death, or so many years after its creation, if it was a business. But anyway, you know exactly where the money's coming from, because every time Mickey Mouse's copyright is about to expire, somehow the law gets changed and it gets extended.
Speaker 1:Didn't a bunch of that shit just recently get put in a home? Didn't a bunch of that shit recently go public?
Speaker 4:But there's a Steamboat Willie, that they've been trying to stave off from going public. It's Mickey Mouse himself that they're worried about.
Speaker 1:Mickey Mouse has done some weird shit. Bro. You ever seen that animated GIF where it's the fucking?
Speaker 3:it's a cheese factory and yeah, he's poking holes in it. He's making holes in the fucking cheese with a dick he is.
Speaker 1:With a strap on? Yeah, they look like. Regardless, it's Mickey Mouse making holes in cheese with a dick. Yeah, walt Disney, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and that was in the black and white.
Speaker 1:Yes, yeah, it's hilarious. Honestly, I don't know what the fuck else is going on in that GIF, because I know there's a bunch of other shit things going on.
Speaker 3:No, I can't take my eyes off of Mickey Mouse fucking cheese left and right. You couldn't get away with that. There's a cube of cheese, mickey Mouse and their Swiss cheese. Yeah, it's mesmerizing.
Speaker 1:I have a you just how do you not watch that? And it's so fast. Oh God, it's so weird. It was one of those early things on the internet too. I think I saw that first time I saw that was on Style Project, and I saw such horrific things on that website.
Speaker 1:What was girls, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, do yourself a favor, go open up a web browser, go into incognito mode so nobody sees that you search for this shit and type in goat's seat or return of goat's seat, or tag style project on it. And, man, good luck sleeping tonight. But yeah, it's awesome.
Speaker 4:Fuck is wrong with you A lot.
Speaker 2:He just like told everybody how he started this crazy shit too hey.
Speaker 1:I would think I invented that shit.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Each and every one of the people sitting in this chair does the exact same thing. Just know, you all said it. Yeah, none of us have said it.
Speaker 3:I go do it on Brave and their incognito moves On Brave. I go two different steps. Yeah, they say all that shit.
Speaker 1:Mm, hmm, your overlords are watching you and they don't care. They just watch your information so they can sell it. Yeah, to back to me, cunt.
Speaker 4:Well, I mean, look, all of my data security, and then everything's to protect my algorithms, right, and some of its own purpose. Yes, I love to be on one. I want you to know exactly what I want. Right, that's right.
Speaker 1:That way I can find a lot of shit that I would have to look for. Yeah, yeah, all right, you tell me what I need, I won't search on that shit. I'll go search on that shit. You know what?
Speaker 4:Yeah, we'll work it, man. I did a thing Matt got me to do, but it wasn't like I didn't delete Facebook, but I deleted it off of my phone, deleted all of them off my phone.
Speaker 1:Amazing how your ads changed yeah.
Speaker 4:Now I put them on my iPad. But though the iPad, when I grab it, it is to be goof off, it is to be entertained.
Speaker 1:Correct. But your phone is with you all day long, correct, listening to you the entire fucking time.
Speaker 4:I've also learned to be bored again. Yep, like, remember back in the day when you had to go to the doctor or anything?
Speaker 1:Yeah, just sit there and wait and just think Yep, Recently I've gotten to not wearing headphones outside when I'm doing stuff. If I have to, if it's something I'm power tools or whatever, I wear them for that which I got those AirPods pros and Jesus Christ, that noise canceling is. Oh it's the shit. It's like walking into a room.
Speaker 4:It's like I tried it. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1:But I have gotten more into All right, yeah, birds and shit. Yeah, that's more better.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think.
Speaker 1:I think I don't have to console. That's the other thing. Is might be counterproductive, but I'm gonna say it anyway. I have not been listening to as many podcasts. I'm listening to more music. Ah I do listen to some music, I do too A lot. I just I like all right, I don't need somebody yammering in my ear all day.
Speaker 3:No, I've had to change a lot of that, especially listening to some talk radio at certain times oh yeah because, some of it was just so hectic it was and it would amp me up on my drive. So then I'm driving, I'm already hectic when I'm driving and this is amping me up, and it was so much.
Speaker 4:Well, you've been talking about grounding too, more lately too. Yeah, the fuck is that?
Speaker 1:touching the ground, touching the ground, literally touching. I already do that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you do it all the time. I don't even talk to you about it because you're always barefoot.
Speaker 1:So I mean, you already do, I got hobbit feet man.
Speaker 4:Yeah, matt. Yeah, matt has never asked. She's on. Matt is a former machina, so he still has a machine in his shop with metal shavings and no shoes. I asked him one time what percentage do you estimate the bottom of your feet to be metal? Oh, I forgot what I said. I think like seven seven percent seven percent, that was. I think he said eight back then. Yeah, he must have got a pedicure.
Speaker 2:They shaved all that shit out once in a while she was like what the fuck? This is not skin you, fucking metal.
Speaker 1:And once I'll just take a shower, Isn't that? I sit down, watch TV and a couple hours later, like God fuck.
Speaker 2:I'm just touching the bottom of your foot, the fuck out of my hand.
Speaker 1:I'm like God damn it, and he was sitting, go get out the vice grips yeah. I'm actually going once I'm going to a doctor, I'm going to get this, not cut off my eyeball. And I remember I was talking to the intake check and I was like I almost cut this thing off myself. It's just like you what it's like. I was about to and I thought about it and I called a friend of mine. It's a doctor, he's like dude, bad idea.
Speaker 3:No it's terrible.
Speaker 1:It's like I've done it with a skin tag before. He's like this is not a skin tag, dude, and it's by your eye. Yeah, he's like just, I'm like, all right, good. So yeah, I'm going to see Ali and get Did she tell you what she did? So about to hang up the phone with his chick. I'm like, hey, can you do me a favor? She says yeah, what's up. I said can you throw something a little heavy at Ali Foster for me please? It's just OK, you are my old friend of hers. I mean, don't throw anything like don't throw an office chair at her. Just you know. She says like a stapler.
Speaker 4:I was like yeah. I said yeah, the stapler.
Speaker 1:I said three hole punch, you know calculator, whatever you know, just you know bring it out.
Speaker 4:You know don't like smaller than a monitor bigger than a mouse.
Speaker 3:Exactly, get a little bit. But so they noticed.
Speaker 1:All right, and well, let me quote it, because I don't fuck this up, I don't want to, so I don't God damn it. Hi folks, I'm old. So, as it said, I just got a stapler thrown at me. Are you responsible for that? Yeah, maybe. At least she was a poor shot and she didn't connect it.
Speaker 4:Please tell me the timestamp on this text message. Oh, I don't have that term, so what I was getting was that saw something the other day, but it was like when you get older, you just learn how to do three and shit at like 2 pm. Oh yeah, like throwing staples at people. Yeah, like that text message that he got probably would have been one that used to get it for him. Like did somebody just throw a stapler at me?
Speaker 2:And did you tell him to do it instead? Is it three o'clock in?
Speaker 1:the afternoon, you know, at some point, you know it's usually was just changed the time. That's right. You know, at some point in time somebody sent the text message that said Crestroy was swinging a sledgehammer at stands right now. And they got that text message at three in the morning.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that's because somebody seems you a text message.
Speaker 2:I know O'clock in the morning and it said bring a sledgehammer.
Speaker 1:Such a nice guy Come meet us Looking out for him. He went and bought a brand new one, yeah.
Speaker 4:And sleeping. That's all. He bought what. He went to Walmart and he checked out with a 20 pound sledgehammer and a bunch of dyphon hydramine A dude was very confused.
Speaker 2:They didn't escort you out or somebody followed you just to make sure you were leaving.
Speaker 1:Oh, much like whenever I went with Scott to Walmart and I was pointing at everything with a golf driver at that time, Way back then, not? A lot of people told me anything you know, just like he might be.
Speaker 2:He'd go down to the aisle. Go down to the aisle, just go down to the aisle.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he looks like he's really high. He doesn't seem to be hurting anybody.
Speaker 4:He made me buy a USB flash drive for 70 dollars. This would be cool. Do it. You still have it. No, dude. This was like when they first started.
Speaker 1:There was 256 meg for 70 dollars and it died in three months.
Speaker 4:Huge. Yeah, it was real big. It really, when they said, thumb drive is because it was a size yeah 256 megabytes and it broke within a year.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you're like fuck, yeah, 256.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And I lost all that shit.
Speaker 1:Nobody makes anything smaller than like five gig.
Speaker 4:It was supposed to be all safe and secure, like better than your hard drives that can fail, because it was solid state and it failed and I'm like, well, there goes that stuff.
Speaker 1:Even the swag ones that the companies are giving out are not even one gig anymore.
Speaker 4:You know, it was on there like five. Yeah, that's where my old rampage videos were.
Speaker 1:Oh, you know I could do it, I do some things. That money, god, he's still fighting. He, unfortunately yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's the. I saw an article the other day that said that basically they forced him out Like he wanted. He wanted he had a sponsorship with Reebok or something and they wanted it. And they forced him out to where they Reebok wouldn't sponsor him and they wouldn't let him fight anymore. He still wanted to fight, but they made it look like he was retired.
Speaker 1:Dude, I mean dude he's got to do it for him.
Speaker 4:He's one of the legends, if nothing else for the way he promoted. Yeah like when I say those videos, they were on his website because he was doing stuff before YouTube was a thing, yeah, and he was just putting out funny videos Like if he, if YouTube had existed even then, like the way it does now, where like it's a whole economy, yeah, he'd have been money.
Speaker 2:Who are you talking about? Rampage wasn't.
Speaker 4:Rampage Jackson.
Speaker 2:UFC fighter.
Speaker 1:He lost his chin and I mean it's like Liddell or whatever I mean he would like, he would legitimately power bomb people in the ring. Oh dude he power bombs some dude so hard, picked him up over his head, smashed him down in the ground and headbutted him at the same time and split his head open and knocked him out. I think he knocked both of them out, right, yeah?
Speaker 4:Well, he slammed him so hard that the dude's head bounced off the canvas, so hard it slammed back into him.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Knock that dude out and split his eye open.
Speaker 1:Yeah as a Ricardo Arona. Yes, Holy shit. Yeah, these dudes are some freak athletes. Dude, I'm talking about some machines.
Speaker 4:This was the, this was in pride, where they actually in the contract said we do not test for steroids.
Speaker 2:He fought pride in the UFC.
Speaker 3:Y'all talk about pride sometimes. What's the rules? What was the?
Speaker 2:rules Almost none, so pride was.
Speaker 1:Oh no, it had to say rules.
Speaker 4:It was in MMA, but it had a boxing ring instead of a cage, so it actually had ropes that you could fly through.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, and people would push you back in, like if they would grapple on the ground and it was going good and they kind of slipped out. They would just push your ass back in.
Speaker 4:It was just a rampage. One time got a knee in the head. I think 19 times in a row. Oh, vandalais Silva had him in the clinch and just kept kneeing him, like walking around in circles around the ring with him, until he did a head dive through the rope.
Speaker 1:He went in between the first and the second rope and just yeah, yeah, like yeah, so first it's in a boxing ring and it's in these giant arenas in Japan I mean.
Speaker 4:Some of these arenas hold 100,000 people the Sayatama Arena. So I mean, for your local it's like putting a boxing ring in the middle of Tiger Stadium and they're all dead silent.
Speaker 1:And they don't say a word. The fight happens and some big happens there and then into the fight they had some of the wildest entrances.
Speaker 4:It's like watching football with me. Yeah, it is like Just when I'm mad oh, no, no, no, no, they go buck wild.
Speaker 1:when it goes off, they go off.
Speaker 3:You get it, but they appreciate it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they sit and appreciate it. It's crazy. It's silent Like you can hear they say you can hear the guys that were announcing it because they were sitting at ringside.
Speaker 4:You could hear it throughout, like you couldn't really understand it, oh my God, and look for people to understand that, like the biggest you've seen a UFC fight around here is maybe Madison Square Garden, which is what 20, 30,000?
Speaker 2:20,000, 40,000, 40,000.
Speaker 4:This is stadium level stuff they had, and this was in the early 2000s.
Speaker 2:It was crazy, wasn't it? 90,000 people. You can kick in the head too, so you can suck down. Yes, we got a ring. We have 100,000 people While they're on the ground.
Speaker 3:While they're on the ground, you can kick them in the head.
Speaker 1:Not only soccer kick them, but you could heel stomp them in the face.
Speaker 4:Yeah, or any other body parts? Yeah, I'll give you all those rules, but the first round was 10 minutes 10? The first round. So before I even get into all the extra things they can do to you, we got ropes where if you go through they throw you back in and then it's super quiet in this big eerie stadium. And then you got to fight for 10 straight minutes In the first round, in the first round, and then everything was five after that, right, two five minute rounds after that. So if you get to get out of that.
Speaker 4:Correct, you get a little break and then you got to go for five more minutes, but, yes, 10 minutes the first round. So what are the things you can do in pride that you could not do in the UFC? If somebody's laying on the ground, you can kick them in the head.
Speaker 1:Kick them Just wear it in the face While you're standing straight up.
Speaker 4:You can kick them anywhere you want. It's referred to as soccer kicks. I watched the dude. You know, usually if some guy gets knocked down they pick up their legs and they kind of try to kick them in the knees. And he went to kick that dude in the knee and he grabbed him and he spun him around. At the same time he kicked the head going back the other way. Yep.
Speaker 1:Yep, yep. I can't remember who it was.
Speaker 3:I remember watching it was croak up, but yeah.
Speaker 1:Holy Vanley Silva fighting Sakuraba, knocks him down in the corner, he jumps over him, grabs the top ropes, jumps into the air and stomps on his face with his heel. Smash, smash I've done multiple times.
Speaker 4:So the people that ran pride also were like basically came from pro wrestling, japanese pro wrestling which is wild on its own.
Speaker 1:I would try to remember his name, god damn it.
Speaker 4:But Sakuraba was a Japanese pro wrestler. Was technically his training, but he was actually a good fighter. But that stomping he was doing was actually not within the rules of pride.
Speaker 1:But that's how it was.
Speaker 4:Pride's whole thing was about the entertainment factor. Yeah, so one of the other great rules pride had was if you were stalling, if the ref felt that you weren't putting on a good enough show either, on the ground kind of laying there but nobody's doing enough action. You ever watched a fight and the guys are sitting there pitter pattering and not really throwing punches?
Speaker 4:Yeah, just running around the ring, the ref would run in and give people a yellow card. Oh Yep, fuck you. You are now warned that you're being boring and if you get a yellow card you lose 10% of your purse.
Speaker 3:Oh shit, yep, From the jump, yep.
Speaker 4:Second one is 50% Yep. So you want to talk about some fights that were fun to watch because they had to fight for 10 fucking minutes and could be boring, and if you fell on the ground this dude was going to kick you in the head. He might stomp you in the head even though the rules don't allow for it, because the ref is going to say that's our moneymaker, yeah.
Speaker 2:Also the yellow card. The rules were even bendable.
Speaker 1:Also you could need to the head.
Speaker 3:Yes, A down opponent, so like the end up north south elbows. What can't you do?
Speaker 1:Elbows, you're actually good Elbow, elbow, they tell elbows caught cause too many cuts and too many fights.
Speaker 2:Kick you in your face, but yeah.
Speaker 4:Call. They wanted for real. Here's my ankle you tap out or I knock you out. They didn't want a fight stop because somebody got cut. They thought it was a cheap way to win because you didn't really submit the part.
Speaker 3:So you either quit or get knocked out, right?
Speaker 4:You truly needed to be or get choked out.
Speaker 3:You could be choked out or last for 10 minutes plus five minutes, plus five minutes and go to decision.
Speaker 4:Yeah, but the way that the refs, the way the judges, were supposed to judge those fights, was on the totality of the fight, OK, so they didn't. You didn't have a one round, one you were on to, because the 10 minute round was also yeah, and so they actually Also judged on how well you've pressed the fight.
Speaker 2:They had different criteria than the dude in the UFC.
Speaker 4:They really were about pushing it very hard, about the product Fight yeah. But they were very loose with a lot of one of those rules. They literally there's a guy, Ensign Inouye, who was an American who went over there and fought and his dude was crazy, but he said in his book the contract actually said we do not test for steroid. Wow, yeah. So some of those dudes that came over from pride to the UFC.
Speaker 2:Everybody's like there's nothing Needed in writing. Yeah, Without fucking lying dude, we see you fighting.
Speaker 3:I got a lot of time. You might need some steroids so you can recover for my shit.
Speaker 1:No, we don't test.
Speaker 3:Can you write that down for me?
Speaker 1:Also, they had Asian Elvis. Yes, yeah, so it was an Asian Elvis. I miss you so much. Don't get me wrong Bruce Brown, for you Cool, An Asian Elvis dude. So he was an announcer, he was an announcer and he had this big pompadour hairdo and he always wore sunglasses in the middle of the fucking night. And he would, he wearing a tux.
Speaker 3:And he was trying to be Elvis.
Speaker 4:And you sure I don't like he was trying, he was kind of looking like he was trying.
Speaker 1:It was his own thing, and he, yeah, and also I was really high. So that's just what came out of my mouth at that time. So, so, and I mean, it was just. Everything was just. I mean I can't understand a fucking word. These guys are saying and but this dude is fucking into it. Dude, we don't get it. I'm like dude, this guy's great man.
Speaker 4:He really was like the Asian. You know what he was the Asian Bruce Buffer.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. So it's exactly how Bruce was around before Bruce Buffer.
Speaker 4:So Bruce Buffer stole his style Bingo and just speak the white Asian Elvis.
Speaker 1:That is wow, Wow. I'm like Bruce Buffer With that. White, asian Elvis, I won't even charge you for that one dog that's what I give to you. Trademarked. That's it. There you go. I am the white Asian Elvis. I'm trying to remember who that fucking Japanese wrestler.
Speaker 4:The other great part about pride was that one their weight classes were like. There was only three.
Speaker 1:I know he and Tony are in Okie. That was a dude. Every time you see pro wrestling, that dude had big giant chin.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, the pride only had like three weight classes and their heavy weight didn't have a limit. No, so people don't know that in the UFC the heavy weight is from 205 pounds to 265 pounds. 205?. Oh really 205 to 265.
Speaker 3:No, no, no no 205 light heavy weight.
Speaker 4:That is the limit.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's, true, Okay.
Speaker 4:Light heavy weights from 185 to 205. 206. Heavy weight's weight. It needs to be cut up in the UFC, but anyway.
Speaker 2:In pride.
Speaker 4:There is no 265 cut off, in fact. Yes, brock Lesnar famously had to cut weight to fight in the UFC To fight heavy weight.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they cut like 20, 30 pounds sometimes Because he was over the cap.
Speaker 3:But what's? Ufc made that rule. Yeah, well, there is a super heavy weight class.
Speaker 1:They just don't use it Right.
Speaker 3:Because it's not a lot of people. There's not enough people to do it Because nobody wants to do it.
Speaker 1:It's kind of like what weight class did they get rid of? But pride had a dude.
Speaker 4:See this is why they didn't have the cap on there then, because they just had this one dude named Bob Sapp.
Speaker 3:And.
Speaker 4:Bob Sapp if. Bob Sapp wanted to cut weight, which he probably he was already trim. Yeah, he had abs.
Speaker 1:It's 380 with abs 380. And no fat Like.
Speaker 3:I mean just giant.
Speaker 1:He looked like a like a he-man doll, Just 380. And couldn't move.
Speaker 4:Yeah, he was, he had, he had, like he was a defensive lineman that didn't washed out NFL. He was and went to Japan, giant celebrity in Japan. And because he couldn't fight in the UFC or any, because it was the state athletic commissions that put these weight limits there, the ones that came with the weight classes from boxing Like this dude would walk on the street in Japan and get mobbed. So he just stayed in Japan and became super famous Bob the B Sapp.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna have to look that up. Dude, this dude is huge. Have you ever?
Speaker 4:watched the longest yard, the newer one with that sandler yeah. Big, giant black guy.
Speaker 1:That's Bob Sapp. Oh, that's Bob Sapp. Yeah, dude ain't playing.
Speaker 4:But he for real thought so he would have made Brock Lesnar look little Wow, yeah, you know who.
Speaker 1:I miss watching fight. Who Roll the banner? Oh, he was a kickbox Dude, was a French dude, french dude. Oh, french guy, just merkin people, pah pah pah, just peasin' them up. Pah pah pah, kiss your chin, goodbye, good night, merk Hard Merkin.
Speaker 3:Merkin, merkin them. What is that?
Speaker 4:Mercenary. Ah Okay, got it I had to do it.
Speaker 2:I had to say it, merkin, he was merkin people.
Speaker 4:I'm like damn, oh see, now, see, now we know that the two veterans did not know that term, and the two guys that play too many video games, yeah, so all you little video games out there apparently that is not the correct term. You're playing Call of Duty.
Speaker 2:It's not real military shit.
Speaker 4:I never thought it was. It's just a word. So when I go play with new Call of Duty, what should I say?
Speaker 1:I mean you probably should say anything, because some 13-year-old's going to call you a faggot and God knows what else. So you know, going there, it's like I'm sorry my microphone doesn't work.
Speaker 4:Just going to tear you to shreds. I never could listen to those kids, man. I could never play online. It's just too slow.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I want to go like wander around and look at shit and I've got online to play twice, maybe three times Each time.
Speaker 4:It's not even fun. It's just going to kill you too quick.
Speaker 1:No, it's not even fun. I mean, they got kids that style. They do, yeah, for hours and hours and hours a day. But what I'm saying is like they just play this map. They know every square pixel of this map and where to get for, where you're going to repopulate and all this, and the second you're up. It's insane how quick they are.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 3:So it like oh, so you don't even get to do that, right?
Speaker 4:That's the thing is unlike other stuff, like if you went to play golf next to you, you can bomb it.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean.
Speaker 1:I guess if you still?
Speaker 4:get to shoot. Yeah, you know you make. I just spend the whole time going.
Speaker 3:That's not fun. I mean, there's nothing wrong.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's not just that I'm old. They got guys that are my age that play the fuck out of that shit. Love it, I just don't find it fun.
Speaker 3:I never.
Speaker 4:I was never good Speaking of one of the greatest fighters in UFC history is actually a dude that does Twitch, plays games online and makes one point Was making more money doing that than he was fighting. Yeah, that's tons of money in that shit. Who the?
Speaker 2:money mouse.
Speaker 1:Which is.
Speaker 2:John's.
Speaker 4:Oh, he's a big Twitter.
Speaker 1:Nice, well, that's the, what's her name. The chick, the porn chick that quit and was doing Twitch, the one that broke her back. Oh yeah, I heard about that same fucking shit.
Speaker 4:But you had Marty Mouse. He had a good story too, because the UFC, when you go fight, you know when Dana throws that belt on him.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I didn't know this.
Speaker 4:But when people would go, they wouldn't bring their belt that they had won, like a dude defending his belt. And so Dana was slapping a new belt on everybody. Nobody told Marty Mouse, so he kept bringing his own belt. He didn't get another one. So at one point he finally said hey, Dana, where he had defended the title nine times by this point. So, Dana finally sent him all his belts, so he is like 10 belts, damn, but he was like bringing it with him every time, but nobody defended the belt that much either.
Speaker 4:So, like I don't think they knew what to do with that.
Speaker 1:Yeah that's what I mean. I guess that was one of those weight classes they got rid of. What weight class did they get rid of? Because it just wasn't enough people, or somebody who had just got rid of his because he kept just smoking everybody.
Speaker 4:Like there was nobody left to beat that and like they were fighting for number one contender and it was silly, because then they did that you know what they should have done. He ended a fight with a flying armbar. A champ for a belt. That means that the person who's supposed to be the second best person in the world is weight class, and he did some video game stuff. You know what they should do so they were like yeah, we can't have this weight class anymore.
Speaker 1:Because y'all aren't really fighting, y'all are doing some mouths. He's mauling everybody.
Speaker 4:Everybody.
Speaker 3:Everybody Cool, so you know what Merkin him.
Speaker 1:He's merkin him. He got him merked Two and three.
Speaker 4:Get the fight him together have to fight him together.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I would have been in for that. I'm in.
Speaker 4:Have you seen some of that Russian stuff?
Speaker 1:I would say that Russian shit. Those motherfuckers are insane. Have you ever seen?
Speaker 4:that Uh-uh. They will put him in a bigger octagon, but they'll put either teams of two or three or four, yeah, and you don't have to square off one-on-one yeah.
Speaker 3:So you're fighting and then you start also. So it's two groups of people. You just fall out and you just get brawl.
Speaker 4:Sometimes it's like old school Like, yeah, you came out the bar and you were fighting one person. You got to fight him and his boys, so you got to go get your boys.
Speaker 2:You and your boys and him and his boys get put in a cage. Three, two one go.
Speaker 1:It's something I always wanted when I was a bartender. God, that was so fucking nice.
Speaker 2:It's Russian fight videos.
Speaker 4:It's on YouTube, it's all YouTube. Everything's on YouTube. Yeah, until they get changed off of YouTube and then somebody else puts it on. Yeah, I tried to. I tried to.
Speaker 3:Somebody. We were talking about factories. No, no, not factories. We were talking about the mega factories Heineken. We were talking about documentaries.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, that's the one I was looking for I was we were talking about documentaries and that was one of my favorite ones I ever watched, because after watching that I drank Heineken for years Because of the documentary, because of the documentary. I never even gave it any thought. And then I watched the documentary and I was so impressed that I'm like man, I got to give these guys a shot and I drank it, for, I mean, I drank it for a long time.
Speaker 1:You didn't figure it out. It tastes like shit. No, I really appreciate it. I appreciate it.
Speaker 4:No, but then.
Speaker 3:I used to get them in the little kegs, the little mini kegs.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah.
Speaker 3:I would ever top it and then scrape the little thing with that other thing.
Speaker 1:When I was a little deeper piece of shit, we would drink the 22 ounce ones. So imagine how a Heineken tastes when you get to the bottom of a 12 ounce bottle. Now multiply that times two. Yeah, no that's terrible.
Speaker 4:Oh it was horrible. I got drunk on Heineken once I got drunk on Heineken.
Speaker 3:Was it at Heineken? No, it was it was at Heineken.
Speaker 4:It was at Heineken oh.
Speaker 2:In Amsterdam. So he went to the Port de Doug, but you were talking about.
Speaker 3:Yes, that's where that show came from.
Speaker 2:The Port and all that stuff.
Speaker 3:Anyway, I was trying to find it. The whole entire series is gone. That sucks, but I found it on YouTube.
Speaker 4:Yeah, everything that was it.
Speaker 3:But it was the worst, terrible, least quality. It would look like somebody filmed it using their video camera through a mirror at their house.
Speaker 1:It's the only way to watch it. It was terrible. Just howl at your boy. Well, you too.
Speaker 3:I couldn't find dogma. For the longest time they give you factories and I even checked the Is this it's from like Discovery.
Speaker 1:Yeah, not gonna remember this.
Speaker 3:I'll send you the links to the. Yeah, we're still in the message group.
Speaker 1:I'll take care of it. I got you.
Speaker 3:Anyway, I watched the terrible version. It was dope.
Speaker 2:I watched the terrible version it was dope.
Speaker 1:Oh, speaking of that, I introduced Juju to Six Feet Under. Oh my God. Yeah, we watched the first episode together and she's kind of been going through.
Speaker 4:Speaking of those old HBO Sunskies man.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's in 69. It was.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, it was when things started going HD yeah.
Speaker 1:So it's Dude.
Speaker 4:It's like watching the first couple seasons of Scrubs Dude, the first seasons of things, when HD existed, whoa and I think Eric had one of the first HD TVs.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, that thing cost me a fortune.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm about to say, mortgage his dad's house for it.
Speaker 3:Well, that's when he got back from my wreck. Okay, I'm back from my wreck and I had.
Speaker 2:I had a bunch of I wrecked money.
Speaker 3:So you bought a 25-inch TV, oh 32. It was a 32-inch TV.
Speaker 4:But that's 32 when you stretch it out diagonally, because it was actually widescreen. And then oh I understand.
Speaker 3:It was widescreen and then it had speakers on each side. You know why? No, it was really wide.
Speaker 4:You know why I know so much about this TV? Because you moved it. I got a phone call while he was in the parking lot. He said I just bought the most expensive TV in Best Buy. It was $1,800.
Speaker 3:I remember how much it was. And then he said how big is it?
Speaker 4:He's like it's 32 inches 32 inches.
Speaker 3:32 inches, oh, okay, it was $1,800.
Speaker 4:But so the greatest part well, one of the great parts about the early days of HDs. You remember that show. My Name Is Earl. Yeah, they actually knew that filming it, the stuff people saw on the HD screens versus us with the still square screens. There was this extra stuff in the Yep, so there was always something going on.
Speaker 3:So they would do stuff in the edges, in the edges, the people that had the good shit could see.
Speaker 4:Like they'd be in the place and there'd be a copy machine and one of the characters would be over there like copying stuff and then showing things on printouts when was the last time you seen that dude, ethan Suppley. He lost some weight, he lost all the weight, yeah.
Speaker 1:That dude's a machine.
Speaker 3:He turned into a machine.
Speaker 1:That dude is large and trim. Yeah, he handled this shit. You know what we're talking about, I think so. He was also the big dude, he was even bigger.
Speaker 4:on American History X.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, ok, that's all I thought it was.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, in Blow he was Tuna.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, he was in Blow. I love that movie. Tuna, tuna, tuna, Tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna Tuna.
Speaker 1:Tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna, tuna Tuna.
Speaker 4:I just pulled up those pictures of him. Holy crap yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean it's dude did some shit and he said he had to have multiple surgeries for skin removal.
Speaker 3:He had to be 500 pounds. That's what I was going to say.
Speaker 1:I mean dude, I feel it when I'm like he's changed lifestyle dude Five eight pounds over.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You know, yeah, lost.
Speaker 4:He lost over 200 pounds, that dude lost me.
Speaker 1:He lost more than me and he's like get out of here, Damn Right.
Speaker 4:And he did it riding bicycles, his knees.
Speaker 1:Love him. His knees are like man. You awesome dude. Thank you.
Speaker 4:Finally, yeah, I appreciate you Probably with the bicycling tips. That are running and walking.
Speaker 1:Oh fuck running. You ever see me running and shoot the dude behind me Because I ran out of ammo. I hate running. I used to. I'll swim all day long.
Speaker 4:You started swimming and then you started running and you used to say you hated running. Yeah, I used to hate running.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to say I like running.
Speaker 3:I hated running Me and Eric were in the house.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you used to have to run with like shit on your back. I did that this weekend.
Speaker 2:I can't run on the road I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3:I hated running on the road.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but like what did I do? What did they make you run with, like? I know you have a sack on your back.
Speaker 4:Oh, you mean a basic yeah.
Speaker 1:Like what was in that Shit. I don't remember Well how much was it. Are you talking like 50 pounds, 30 pounds, 30 pounds, 30 pounds? But yeah.
Speaker 3:That's hard man.
Speaker 4:Don't ask the Air.
Speaker 2:Force guy. I'm telling you it's 30 pounds.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, that's because he probably made it 30 pounds for you, Because their calculator mine was 31 pounds With a heart rate monitor as a fitness test.
Speaker 2:when I first got in, they changed our fitness test right before I got on.
Speaker 1:Actually had to go run a mile and a half and do pushups instead of they changed it because they had the rest of the military branches and they had their male and then their female health requirements and they just moved female over for Air Force. I asked the question again.
Speaker 2:And who was the dumb one? And we were the not dumb ones that joined a branch that had a bicycle test with a heart rate monitor. I get it, dude. They don't do it anymore. They changed it. They made us run.
Speaker 1:I got out. I get it. I don't have any regrets. You know how they say hey, what would you do if you had a time machine? You know you could just bug out at any given time. Everything's cool. I would love to go to basic training in the Marines and see how long I would have lasted Not long, it was my whole reason. Like I got approached by several people Like why you should go to military, or you know when the fucking recruiters came to school and I'm like dude, y'all are going to kill me. Like what do you mean? Like I don't shut my mouth. I'm like y'all are going to fuck me up. I'm not going through that shit, forget it.
Speaker 4:Me and Eric started running. You know, trying to figure it out meaning like to learn a lot of different ways to do it. So I was like, well, y'all ran a bunch in basic, how did you get through those runs? And he told me he's like dude, we can't use that method for what we do. In half, and you want to tell him how you were able to run so fast? I think he would tell me I just made sure I was really hungover that way. I wanted that run over as quickly as possible.
Speaker 3:That was the PT test, Right when you had to get the eight of them off, just go. It was two miles. Y'all had a two mile we had a mile Two miles in a certain amount of time and I would hit my two miles and I would just go and it was balls to the wall and as soon as I crossed the finish line I would turn to the right and throw up right there.
Speaker 1:Like it's right right behind Just hit it. But for that two miles you was forced fucking go.
Speaker 3:That two miles, I was gone, I was right and I passed.
Speaker 4:I was dying. And that was it, so he tells me this and I'm like that's a great story for this one time you had to go. He's no, no, every time.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was like you're your.
Speaker 4:Sergeant must have. He didn't.
Speaker 1:Well, I know the green keepers hated it.
Speaker 3:I got a little further away. I was able to move on a little bit, you can't.
Speaker 4:You can't get drunk.
Speaker 3:So this is how this would go down. When you're that hungover, all you want to do is finish. All you wanted to do is be over.
Speaker 4:That's right. You don't want to start, the fastest way for this to be over.
Speaker 3:It's for me to finish this thing, so I have nothing on my mind, but I got to finish this shit and that's what I would do.
Speaker 4:But I couldn't do that for every run, you know, twice a week as a working adult.
Speaker 1:But it was.
Speaker 3:Well, it's not like we can't use that.
Speaker 4:And I got to go run six miles tomorrow. Let's go to the bar, let's get drunk.
Speaker 2:So I can run it really fast tomorrow. Yeah, homeover.
Speaker 3:Be on the road for regular.
Speaker 1:Actually it was more like I got to open the store at seven o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, let's go drinking until two thirty.
Speaker 4:That sounds like a great idea.
Speaker 1:Well, by the way, you're going to have to drive back and forth from Lafayette Apollosis to make this happen. Like, oh, that sounds like a fantastic idea.
Speaker 4:Did you ever make sandwiches? Yeah, like after hours. There's video proof of this.
Speaker 2:Documented. I don't have to answer that question Me and it's already documented.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the me and Blake ran together, but we each had our own different circle of friends and this was one instance where I looked at him like let's go get wasted and we did, and lo and behold, it's like three o'clock in the morning, but I mean usually the early days too.
Speaker 4:So the way y'all were working you probably never really got to go hang out together because you wanted you had to be at the store. It was seven days a week, correct.
Speaker 1:And you just see security footage at three o'clock in the morning and we're literally running in with our arms out of the chair and we just proceed to making some of the probably the worst sandwiches you've ever seen.
Speaker 4:But it was delicious oh it's so good.
Speaker 1:And then I woke up the next morning I was like God damn it. I went to work. I was still half drunk and I'm like what?
Speaker 2:happened these?
Speaker 1:motherfuckers didn't clean up when they closed the store. No, and.
Speaker 2:I brought up the cameras.
Speaker 1:I was like oh yeah, oh shit, ok, oven's still on, so much fun.
Speaker 3:My favorite part of you owning the Quiznos.
Speaker 1:Oh no.
Speaker 3:Was always having Chipotle Mayo. We had Chipotle Mayo in that big ass thing with the little three. Yeah, the little three squirts on the bottom of it. Oh yeah, all over the place.
Speaker 1:Oh yes, dude, it's be like.
Speaker 3:Matt, I need some more Chipotle.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 3:And I get a big old thing of it with the little three at the bottom.
Speaker 1:Bruh. I used to trade sandwiches with this chick that I used to live in this bed and breakfast with. She worked at Mr Gaddy's Dude. It was the heaviest fucking pizza I've ever seen in my fucking life. I guarantee you this pizza was at least four or five pounds. Damn, it's dumb. It's dumb Like normally a large pizza. I could pretty much smoke. I mean, if I want, if I'm really hungry, I could smoke the whole thing. I could probably normally eat by three quarters of it and be comfy and whatnot. I got like three slices down, that's it. It was like deep dish pizza but it was with meat and everything Like. It wasn't deep dish, it was just that deep with meat. Yeah, it was dumb. I used to work in a pizza place.
Speaker 1:I told her I was like look next time, please. I appreciate the gesture. Thumbs up, can you?
Speaker 2:do that again.
Speaker 3:Please Could you give me less? Yeah, it was rough man that was too much.
Speaker 4:I worked at a Domino's in college, yeah, and my manager one time, he was even being nice. He's like you can make a whole, you know like take home the we always take home the messed up pizzas. But he's like you can make one for free, whatever you want on it. So I call my friends and they're all. You know it's closing time for the pizza place, so it's late, they're drunk, they're everything. I call hey, man, I can bring home a pizza with whatever y'all want on it. What kind of pizza do y'all want? And I got that same thing that. I know us as bartenders, remember when they start ordering the drinks and then asking people in the middle of the order. She's like oh, bro, get some pepperoni and some ham and what do you want on the pizza? But by the time he was done I just kept throwing it on the pizza as he was doing it.
Speaker 1:I was like y'all gonna learn less. Oh, basically, you were from fucking half baked. They got it.
Speaker 4:They got it in everything pizza. I got home and they all are like what the fuck? I was like that is what you ordered.
Speaker 2:That's what you ordered. You should have recorded the conversation, because y'all asked for everything. That's one here. Oh, dude, it was hilarious.
Speaker 1:Don't get me wrong, it wasn't all terrible at the restaurant. Now some interesting shit, you know. I mean I just yeah, this one dude I went to high school with. He ends up dropping by one day, not knowing. So we end up shooting this shit and asking what he's doing. He's driving a delivery truck for dull foods and back and forward. She comes in and out a couple of times and then I'm like man, that's someone truck for you, hang on bro Comes back, comes in with a case of pork chops.
Speaker 1:I'm like they fell off the truck.
Speaker 2:They fell off the truck.
Speaker 1:I was like hell, yeah, man. Needless to say, you never paid for a sandwich ever. Shout out to Mark, appreciate you man, and look, he come in. You know, every once in a while, sometimes it was chicken, sometimes, every once in a while, I got some steaks. You know, sometimes I got fries. You know, some interesting shit fell off that truck. It was so, oh, it was great, it was potluck. You never knew what you're going to get.
Speaker 4:And it was perfect. That's the best thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, he didn't come in any stupid shit like calf livers or something dumb like that Like it was always something you wanted to eat. Oh yeah, some the good shit is what falls off the truck.
Speaker 2:I mean dude.
Speaker 1:I was broke man.
Speaker 2:I mean, I was making no dude.
Speaker 1:People think you know you own your own business. You ball and dude. I was making $17,000 a year and that was before taxes. That was gross Yep. Like I sold my.
Speaker 4:I said truck that I'm always talking.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the truck that.
Speaker 1:I always talked about that I would whip donuts in. I had to trade that one in and I got Crest 10 part two. And you know I did everything I could to go as slim as humanly possible. We lived in the house right next to the police station in Gran Cato. Yeah, you know, as you did everything you could, cause I always heard all these nightmares about people that you know get in these businesses and start paying themselves money and then, all of a sudden, when shit gets lean, you got no cash, you know. So, hey, I took my swing, that's enough.
Speaker 2:I'm still swinging.
Speaker 1:Keep swinging, bro. I look, I get it, man. It's just, it's not for me, no more. Yeah, yeah, but he answered that question.
Speaker 4:I mean, I was thinking I always was like pinch, you know, cause there's a lot of people that say it and don't ever do it.
Speaker 3:And they don't know.
Speaker 4:And then they always say they, they could have, I could have.
Speaker 3:I wish I would have and once I wish of.
Speaker 4:I'm like sometimes I'm like man, just go do it. But then there's the ones that want to always act like they. They could do it better and I'm like you never tried. Yeah, I've been there, right.
Speaker 1:You know I did it, I did it a couple of times with a bunch of you know I mean dummy, open a fucking lawn service in the middle of owning a fucking restaurant you know I mean you were trying to help make ends meet, but I wasn't really needing to make ends meet, I was just drunk at a bar. Same way.
Speaker 1:I opened up the fucking restaurant. I was drunk at a bar. Oh, this sounds like a great fucking idea. You know, the only one I wasn't drunk at a bar for was the mud hole. I just listening to the fucking Hitler just loses mind about the grass, because the heart no, not you Craig. Different Hitler, Actually the original, different the original.
Speaker 3:Original original.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 4:G Hitler. Oh G Hitler. Well, like like the second one, at least Not. Yeah, yeah, no, not the first, not like triple oh G Hitler.
Speaker 3:Oh, g Hitler, he called him the first person. You called him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and he was just, that was not Hitler. This dude was mad because the farmer at idle this field that year but he didn't maintain it. So the grass was like 10 feet tall and I was like, bro, I could get that out of there for you.
Speaker 1:She's like what? And I'm like dude, I can make that happen. Are you sure? Like what I mean? You mind some people going mud in their trucks. He's like nah, go ahead, call a bunch of people I knew from Kaplan and it was fun, it's great, charge them $10 a head. We didn't charge anybody a dime for the first like two or three, we were just doing it because it was cool.
