On this episode of the Powers Point Podcast, scott and I ask each other hard-hitting questions, questions that have plagued mankind for centuries, questions that'll change our lives. Okay, okay, look, scott and I just ask questions off the internet.
Speaker 2:Okay, Scott, drop the stars up high or dance on moonbeams with the night sky. If we could time travel, see the past and future blend, Would we find adventure or just a new best friend? Fun questions, oh. They make us dream in a world of wonder where imagination's the theme. What if we could explore and live out all the schemes? Fun questions lead us to the magic in our dreams.
Speaker 3:Well, hello, welcome to the Powers Point Podcast, season 5, episode 26. As Jim said before the music, we are going to ask some interesting questions because we'd like to have you know about us. So if you're just tuning in wondering what we're about, well, we talk about anything and everything, with the exception of two things we don't talk religion, and we sure as heck don't talk about politics, because we're not experts and we don't really want to be on the two topics. So if you want religion, go to the 700 Club. If you want politics, go to CNN or wherever you want to watch it. But if you want to just stay and have a laugh or two, but no more than three, well, welcome to the Powers Point Podcast, jim. Yes, we're going to ask some pretty deep questions. Our assignment is 10 questions each. Yeah, just so the listener at home knows, kind of like, how much time they have. You know like, oh, I don't want to miss anything.
Speaker 1:Get to know a little more about us and see if they hate us a little more or if they like us a little more.
Speaker 3:Who knows? You know our last episode. People asked what the heck happened and where's the rest of the show, because with the intro music and the exit music.
Speaker 3:The episode was only 17 minutes long. We warned you guys at the beginning of that episode it was going to be short and we're going to keep them short a little bit to kind of give people a chance to catch up on the longer episodes, because back in the day people used to listen to us while they were in their car, on the way to the grocery store or doing little things here and there. When the show's like an hour, hour and a half, it's kind of hard to to like listen and keep your attention span. So we're going to keep doing a couple short episodes like this one. I'm not saying this is going to be a 17 minute episode, but we'll see. Let's just see where it rolls when we come back. Wait, jim, yeah, you got the. Uh, the questions you got, yeah, are they really interesting? Are they really mind-boggling? Are they going to stump me?
Speaker 1:um, some might, some are just like simple, but it make you think, well, what would I do? Or how would I do this? It's like I don't know. We'll have to edit this out, because all the pauses are going uh, uh, uh.
Speaker 3:That's all right. I'll just put little Bert sounds here and there and it'll be like old-time radio. So when we come back after this commercial, we're going to just jump right into these questions and, like I said, give you a laugh or two. So stay tuned, we'll be back. Do you like metal music? Well, you need to listen to Mostly Metal.
Speaker 1:103.1 FM WBLP, valparaiso, indiana. The metal professor has got your music.
Speaker 3:We're going to jump right into these questions. They don't necessarily have to be about us individually. They are just some good questions that I think you should answer. So if you want to start off, by all means, sir.
Speaker 1:Scott, what is the most irrational superstition you have?
Speaker 3:Oh, when I get out of my car yeah, Before I shut the radio off I always have to put the volume to four. What that's crazy. Without fail, I have to turn the volume down to four and then shut it off.
Speaker 1:But why? Because your radio always worked good after that or something, or every time I do it it works good.
Speaker 3:Well, no, it'll always start on four when I turn it back on. But there's something about me and even numbers and I hate odd numbers. I absolutely hate it. I have bad luck with odd numbers, like right now 51 yeah it's really killing me. I want march to hurry up and get here so I can be 52 again. Not again, not again. I'm not reincarnated, but yeah. So volume four always has to be on the radio, man, when I get out. Oh, that is irrational and weird.
Speaker 1:I would not have predicted that all right, jim.
Speaker 3:Yes, question one what's the most embarrassing thing you've done in front of a crowd? Oh man, embarrassing. And you've been in front of some wrestling shows. Yeah, you've been in front of your oh, I got it worker.
Speaker 1:All right, I got it. At the wrestling show, um, at the church, me and latino crazy were commentating and that you remember the uh, the setup. You were there, the uh stage. It was like a stage, but it was more like a? Uh, a side elevated step kind of thing, where the band or the, where they would have the, the microphones and they would sing yeah, stage.
Speaker 1:So we barely had any room and this big six foot folding table and then we had chairs, so we had all these cords behind us and stuff. I like we had no room, we barely can move. Well, somehow I kept getting up and like yelling or like pointing and stuff, or we would like I'd move around and stuff and I'd scoot my chair and scoot it back. But then one time I stood up and you could see it on the on one of the youtube on your page I can't remember what episode or what uh, uh event. You see me go up and then my chair must have pushed back right on the edge of the, of the drop off, of the stay thing, and when I sat back down the chair fell and I flipped back like ah, I flipped back and I crashed out of the cords that it. It hit the tarp, the, the blanket that was holding the for the sheet.
Speaker 1:Latino, crazy, looked at me and he's like, uh, he's like what the hell are you doing? And everybody watched me just fall backwards on a chair, like in high school. And I hurry up and jumped up and in one second I go holy crap. And in the second second I look over and I knew that it was in front of the crowd from a distance and I shoved him in the shoulder. I go what the hell did you do? You're trying to shove me over here across? I totally blamed him because I was the bad guy and I had to hurry up and make it look like he shoved me or he did, he set me up or something.
Speaker 3:But in all essence Latino crazy doesn't work. Commentating no more because no, you shoved him.
Speaker 1:I mean I felt backwards on the people, like almost my feet actually were like going almost over my head in front of the whole place. Everybody was like looking like what the hell just happened. You took a bump on the stage. Oh, that was terrible. I thought I busted my shoulder and stuff when I fell.
Speaker 3:What's the weirdest food combination you enjoy? Weird to me, or weird to everybody.
Speaker 1:It would be weird to everybody else. Or weird to everybody, it would be weird to everybody else. But for you, like uh, my, I don't know pickles and yogurt or something like something weird to you. It's weird to everybody. Eggs and ketchup.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you know that seems to be pretty common, but like, sometimes when I'm eating breakfast I'm drinking red bull and then I'll have a Coke with it.
Speaker 1:It's like a chaser, but you don't have like weird combinations on burgers or hot dogs or something like anchovies.
Speaker 3:No, because I eat everything. You're garbage to full. It's like yes, man, I'm like Mikey, he'll eat anything. For people that don't know that reference it's for live stereo. Uh, the kids didn't want to eat it. So they said give it to mikey, he'll eat everything. So back in the 70s, all the ladies lined up whoa oh my god.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I thought it was going to be like anchovies and uh, you know, on your hot dog or something that sounds dirty, never mind Fish and hot dogs, dude.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I really don't have any crazy thing, because it all goes in the same place, so it just I don't know it comes out the same place, goes down the same place.
Speaker 1:I said that to my wife and son eating dinner one time. I said it all goes in the same place. They that to my wife and son eating it out eating dinner one time. I said it all goes in the same place. They're like yeah, like what, what on your plate? You're gonna have it all in the same.
Speaker 3:They're just bum rushing the door all right, you ready for number two? Yeah, not ready for a number two, but ready for your number two question. I'll drop one. If you could swap lives with a cartoon character, who would it be, and why?
Speaker 1:would I be able to have the same?
Speaker 3:you would become that cartoon character. Okay, cool man.
Speaker 1:Okay, I gotta go back to the 80s, because that was the greatest. I'd probably have to say like He-Man or something. I think it'd be He-Man.
Speaker 3:How did I know you were going to say that? It was in my head. I manifested that answer.
Speaker 1:What by the power of Jim? Just to be like the most powerful man in the universe. And then you're like just. And then, when you don't have to be He-Man, you're just lazy, sleeping with your cat, like, hey man, I'm just, you know, in the sleep and everybody's yelling at you, but you're like secret, like you know, I'm He-Man.
Speaker 3:All you do is hang out with guys. You're kind of like Popeye man. He has like one woman friend, tila, and a sorceress. It's like Duncan Duncan.
Speaker 1:Duncan, let's go get some grog over there at that bar. Come on, let's go Come here. Cringer, all you have to do is put up with Orko's stupid magic. You're like, eh, that's a little funny, because he usually man-at-arms with the foil every time to his jokes. And then you don't really kill anybody, you just defeat skeletor, and that they run off all pissed off and you're like, yeah, I'll see you another next time. It's a little game we play until next time only. Probably annoyance would be the sorceress, because if you remember her, she would always talk like all, like tired, faint talking, like you have to defeat skeletor. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, quit whining. Why don't you help me?
Speaker 2:I can't leave Castle.
Speaker 1:Grayskull yeah, yeah, you can. You're a sorceress. Come on, lazy sorceress. What's the stupidest thing you ever did? On a dare back in the day, because I hope you don't do dares nowadays, oh I do.
Speaker 3:Oh my God. Toast nowadays, oh I do. Oh my god, toost you. You gotta live, man, you gotta live. Let's see if it wasn't running naked down the street that's your wish list jumped off a four-story building. Just holy shit, did they just say? Like I used to be airborne in the army? Oh, that's right. So I would parachute. So this is one of the reasons that put me in AA. In the military, I would get drunk and then I'd climb to the highest part of the building. Just jump off, holy crap, oh my God.
Speaker 1:And as long as you land, right, dude with no cushion or nothing, nothing below the bushes around here, around god watch my leg snap.
Speaker 3:In the end it got to the point where you know they still want you to, even up to the last day that you were getting out. They still want you to run like the two and a half miles and all that and I was like, man, screw this. So like the last, I'd say the last couple weeks, we wouldn't go to pt no more, me or my roommates, we're like screw this, we're getting out. You know, we're breaking free. We got time on our side. Every time they would have to come look for us, right, because we didn't show up the formation. We'd hear the key and door man and we'd snap out of this, wake up, and uh, we'd jump out the windows.
Speaker 1:Dude, we're on the top floor, just gone you were like the, the epitome of beetle bailey, or something. You're like hiding and just trying to find a place to sleep.
Speaker 3:Heck yeah we'd always show up for breakfast to be like why we were there. Oh my god's hilarious. My pastor at the time, man, his son and me were the same age and I used to stay at his house a lot, so he'd be up on the roof cleaning the gutters and I would just run and keep jumping off the house, oh my God, and it would scare the hell out of him, man, because who the hell just runs and jumps off a roof? You know, and honestly I think I can still do it, even at my age, oh my gosh, it's that like kettling, I'm like almost tempted to like, every time I stand on the roof of this house. Man, I'm like I can do this.
Speaker 1:So instead of a sergeant looking for you, now it's your wife looking for you, and you're running around trying to hide and jump off the house.
Speaker 3:But yeah, that's my thing. Man Just jumped off the roof man.
Speaker 1:All right, what's my question?
Speaker 3:If you can only communicate in movie quotes, which movie would you pick?
Speaker 1:My movie would be Duck Soup by the Marx Brothers, because I have quoted that a hundred times and nobody in the whole my work at home know what I'm talking about. But I would laugh myself, like when, uh, they hand Groucho he's the president of Fredonia and they hand him the oh tax or something or a piece of paper and they go. I hope you can understand this. And he goes, he looks and he goes, understand this, why a four-year-old child could understand this? And then he turns over to his assistant and goes, run out and find me a four-year-old child. I can't figure this out heads or tails.
Speaker 3:You know what man Movies like that you can't really appreciate until you're older.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and that's what Duck Soup is the problems, because it's a movie about a country going to war with another country and the politics jokes and how crazy it all is and it pertains to nowadays, any time. A country and the rules and stuff and how stupid going to war is the only thing I can't handle with old shows like the Marx Brothers.
Speaker 3:You know it's comedy, yeah, and it's brilliant. And the thing that ruins these movies are all the damn singing every two and a half, three minutes, like don't break up the comedy, because singing ain't funny, unless Groucho's doing it. What movie was it where they he? They were a hotel, uh owner uh, the coconuts yeah, and you know it's funny.
Speaker 3:And and then all the bellhops would line up and just start singing man, it's like, or everybody in the in the cabana outside, you know, on the fake beach scenery in the background, the trees don't even sway, or the water's stuck in a white cap. You know well, it doesn't all start singing.
Speaker 1:It was the 20s and the 30s. It just motion pictures just starting and stuff, and not the the silent era and stuff. They're like let's have a musical vaudeville, you know okay, like they had this big ass dance number.
Speaker 3:You know, and it's like you know when, when groucho first came on to into that movie, everybody lined up on the stairs on the inside and and he comes walking in in a safari outfit and everything, and everybody's just singing and singing, and singing.
Speaker 1:I'm like shut up when I was a kid and I discovered the marks brothers I would, I would fast forward that all the singing parts and only watch the the lines. But then when I got older I appreciated the songs a little more and stuff. I'm like, okay, I can, I can. I'm not like racing to fast forward it as I was when I was a kid right.
Speaker 3:So for the people that are at home right now and they're under our age, I'd say go on. Yeah, they're on 2b, every movie is on 2b for free. Yeah, and you can watch all the marks brothers and really enjoy when comedy was comedy and slapstick. And there's another missing episode of the Powers Point podcast.
Speaker 1:I was going to say we should do a comedy episode. Oh, wait.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we've got like a two and a half hour episode somewhere.
Speaker 1:It's the mystery episode, that's the lost one. That's going to be great when we find it.
Speaker 3:So but yeah, check it out the Marx Brothers. I highly recommend it too. And you know it's weird man, if you like the three stooges, you don't really like the the marks brothers and and vice versa. Uh, three stooges was was slapstick action, whereas groucho and, as brothers were more sarcasm and puns and everything, and you really got to pay attention to what they say to understand. You know, like, get it.
Speaker 1:I grew up with the three stooges and loved them, and then I found the Marx brothers and appreciated them more than the stooges, but I still respect the stooges, but I, I Marx brothers are just took off for me. All right, here's your question. Get back to these questions. If you could have free meals for life at one fast food chain, which one do you choose?
Speaker 3:Longhorn. Really I love their outlaw ribeye steak.
Speaker 1:Is that a restaurant or is it fast food?
Speaker 3:Oh, fast food, or is it fast food?
Speaker 1:well, I want to go fast food, I'll put red robin, because even fast food now is slow and red and with red robin they usually charge like 15 for the cheapest meal.
Speaker 3:So you'd be getting a steal for life the worst place that I'm just waiting to close. Man, I honestly can't wait. I'm gonna laugh as burger king.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're going that way.
Speaker 3:You don't see anybody there, but it's either Longhorn or Red Robin. The same equal amount of time that you get your food. Red Robin I'll take because of the variety and I love the burgers.
Speaker 1:That's what you'd have to get one with different, a lot of different things. That way, you can have different.
Speaker 3:The reason why Red Robin and it has to be the one across from your work they had this burnt end burger. Yeah, it was a burger. And then the burnt ends are on top of that with some kind of sauce. Dude, I had to put my hand up like I was in church. It was the greatest thing I've ever tasted and actually gave me watery eyes. It was testifying dude. Even the manager's like is everything okay? I'm like this is the most amazing thing that I've ever eaten in my and I'm I'm starting to see this on like. Different people say this on YouTube that they actually it made them tear up because it was that damn good at the Red Robin. But wherever they ate at, you know that they ate something that was so good that actually like yeah, I had to testify man.
Speaker 1:I think the only thing that would make me tear up at a meal if I tasted it is if it tasted like something from my past, like my grandparents meal or something at childhood, and I'd be like, oh my god, I haven't tasted this since the 80s or something I would start crying the manager brought the cook out, the head cook in the kitchen and had even even onion rings.
Speaker 3:Uh were so good that I like in the google reviews that I put it was like the hand of god reached to the restaurant and touched my food because it legit. I've never ate it and it was that good. Oh, the cook's like what do you? And then I found what do you want? It was, it was temporary, so I'll never have that again. What?
Speaker 3:the way that didn't taste the same after the next time no, no, it was a temporary thing and I caught it on the, on the like the last week that it was out, so you're looking for it now. Yeah, now I. Now I'm like it's like Idiot Abroad when he was in China and he said when I was by like toad, I come here, I can't get toad, you know. So that's what this birth end burger did to me. Man, ready for yours, I think. So yeah, all right, let's get this one before five minutes. Yeah, if you were a ghost, who would you haunt, and why? Who would I haunt?
Speaker 1:And why? Oh my enemies, who would I haunt? I don't think I'd haunt any like friends or anything.
Speaker 3:It don't have to be like scary you know, no, it's like you just keep popping up.
Speaker 1:Well see, I don't even think I would haunt, but if I had to haunt, it would probably be my wife and kid. I would say that too because they'd expect me, because I'm the prankster and they would. They would see something or they. They'd probably like they would be sad and stuff, and then they would smell like my fart and they'd be like Jim God, dang it they, I know it's you and I'd just be laughing.
Speaker 3:That's a good. That's a good answer. Man, always close to the family.
Speaker 1:All right, where is your happy place? Nice and simple.
Speaker 3:That is a tie for two places. It's not one particular place, but it's a city.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 3:All right, so one my favorite city in the States, seattle, absolutely my happy spot. Wow, two tied with number one, seattle there, toronto.
Speaker 1:Well, I knew it had to be a Canadian city.
Speaker 3:It's something about the people in both cities, the restaurants, uh, the coffee houses so different than here. Yeah, and every time I would go visit my sister or you know, I drove a couple times. It was just something that when I got home, like man, I really wish I was back there. Yeah, because I was absolutely laughing, having a good time. The people were like awesome.
Speaker 1:Unlike these miserable people home.
Speaker 3:So that's my, that's my answer there. Seattle slash Toronto. Ok, what do you got? This one might entertain you. Oh, if you had to fight one might entertain you. Uh-oh, if you had to fight one historical figure, who would it be and why? So you're out in the playground and you're waiting for this one historical figure to come out. It's time to brawl.
Speaker 1:Oh man, it could be anybody. It could be a celebrity, it could be a famous person. I would have to say that's with my strength, right, the strength I have it it could be whoever you want to yeah, it's it's just.
Speaker 3:It's just you like you are going up against some historical figure. No superpowers, no nothing, just jb on the Time to rumble. This dude's been picking on you all day.
Speaker 1:I'm picking on him if he's a historical figure.
Speaker 3:I'm not going to fight him either.
Speaker 1:Just because it's a peaceful person, what and they're not known to be a fighter, but past was, I'd have to say, abraham lincoln oh, he only lost one wrestling match that's what I'm saying all life, not because he's a jerk, because he's like he was super nice to everybody and you know peace and everybody get together and and you know equality and stuff. But I think I'd be like, I'd want it's like you know. You said you're a wrestler and I don't know, I just know watching wrestling. I want to fight you and see what, how you know what you're up. Then he'd probably turn his fist backwards and say, put him up. And then if I actually like knocked him down or he's on the ground after I hit him, I'd be like, oh, former wrestler, huh, greatest ever, huh, I don't see.
Speaker 3:You know I would. You know who I would pick? Oh, bruce lee. Oh, but that, and have him, and have him kick the utter shit out of me. Dude, just to say I got my ass beat by bruce lee, see oh well, yeah, I'd say abraham link could beat my ass.
Speaker 1:Oh, bruce lee would be a good. Okay, so Bruce Lee would be second, just like you said, say one-inch punch. Just took you out.
Speaker 3:Randomly take, you, get off the ground saying, man, what just happened To have? That would be amazing, it would be great.
Speaker 1:Okay, here's one, and I know with you. Your hillbilly bud, like me, has some stories about siblings. What is the meanest thing you ever did to a sibling, or that a sibling did to?
Speaker 3:you. I crucified my brother. What?
Speaker 1:well, you didn't even let the freaking period hit that sentence before.
Speaker 3:You were like boom so we held him down, duct taped him some wood, put him up it was dead of winter and all he had on was his shorts and we stuck him outside. Hey, and we? We duct taped his feet to go straight down so he'd have his cramps and his legs dude cruelty. And then we slapped him around with them. Then we had to slap him around with the belt while he was up there. Oh my god, oh my god, we woke him out of a dead sleep and crucified holy shit.
Speaker 1:Well man, I thought I'd get hate email on this podcast, but you just didn't even think about it.
Speaker 3:I didn't even have to think about it.
Speaker 1:I don't want to know the uh their accessories and that I'll just uh leave them uh anonymous, but wow yeah, my other brother here with a frying pan was.
Speaker 3:He didn't want to use up there oh my god, here's your crown.
Speaker 1:Oh man, I gotta go get him.
Speaker 3:I didn't give him the thorns, oh my god. But yeah, man, we, we duct taped the cross and then we duct taped it did any of this?
Speaker 1:okay, did. Did your parents walk in on that or no, or just left them?
Speaker 3:no, no. This was at my house when I was an adult. Oh, what wait? Not in this house, not this house, I thought when I used to live. No, no, no, no. This is when I thought it was when you were a kid. No, no, no, this is when I was already out of the army.
Speaker 1:God, wow, that's when I was married the first time. That makes it even more hillbilly that you did it when you were older.
Speaker 3:I was probably about 25, 26. Wow.
Speaker 1:That's just amazing. Okay, that's going to have to tease everybody for when we do our sibling story and we have a episode about siblings and what we did. All right, what do you got for me?
Speaker 3:what's the weirdest thing you've ever googled in the middle of the night?
Speaker 1:oh my god, my google, my search engine should be burned and, like never, I should really search.
Speaker 1:Switch search engines, really, because I have typed some weird stuff um, hopefully the tijuana donkey show wasn't on there no, oh, it was probably just something like weirdest, weirdest, um, besides, if somebody's like alive or dead, but that's not weird, god see, this one you'd have to like think about really hard. I did. I don't believe me. I didn't ask how to make bombs or anything. Well, oh, my god, you know what I don't even want to know. Your search engine history, yours, probably says after anyone's name says nude. So so Where's the police? I don't see them here.
Speaker 3:Take a safe search off and go ahead For those listening at home. I told you that these answers would be tough, so I hope you're playing along at home and you're not going to do this, but give me your responses. You can email us at powerspointpodcast at yahoocom.

Yeah, and then we started doing it over here, where they line up at the podium and they slap each other so hard they try to knock each other out. That's crazy. You never watched it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've watched it, but okay, I got one okay, glad I just found it.
Speaker 1:About a month ago I put what smells like poop in my house. That's why I couldn't find it. I was mer, was Murr was telling me, well, what smells what smells. And I was walking around looking, and I was because I have the better smelling sense, and I was smelling around under stuff and stuff. I'm like I can't smell anything. And I was looking all around come to find out it was a garbage, a garbage bag. You know how you have those little small garbage cans a garbage, a garbage bag. You know how you have those little small garbage cans. It was behind the couch and inside the garbage can. It's a little bags and you're not supposed to eat food. I guess Jimmy ate some food and he didn't finish it and he put it in the bag. And when we're changing the garbage cans, the the food and the food was wrapped in napkin and it fell behind the couch and I didn't see it and that's what was in a garbage can.
Speaker 3:You had to ask Google what smelled in your house.
Speaker 1:Well, no, I wanted to narrow it down, like what am I not thinking is going what might smell and see what ideas it had. But it was saying, like ammonia and gas leaks. I'm like, no, it's not that I found it, it was. I guess jimmy got yelled at and he said no longer he could eat food on the couch over there because it's gonna fall in the cracks or the he throws in the garbage can and he doesn't always make the garbage can, sometimes it falls out. And then did you change the garbage can? Yeah, all right, that was a long explanation, but it was rotten food. That's what's known. Thank you, google. All right, here's one for you. What would you do if your pets are your pets suddenly started talking? You having a house full?
Speaker 3:of pets.
Speaker 1:I would have a conversation with it, of course I'll say no, because he's right behind you now and he's like uh, I'm kind of tired of this crap. Uh, scott, what?
Speaker 3:no, when I hear that, I think of uh, the frog from wb.
Speaker 1:Hello, yeah, you know like and with you it would be. You would be. I could hear the dogs talking, and then your wife would be like, yeah right, they're not talking.
Speaker 3:Right, you know, mr Ed.
Speaker 1:He told me he doesn't like when I do this, you don't want to cure it.
Speaker 3:Where Ed?
Speaker 1:Somebody walks in the room, they just hear the dog barking and you going. What I know?
Speaker 3:No, I think I would have them translate. The other dogs, yeah, don't you know like, perfect. What do you say? Tell them to shut up in your language. You know like, maybe they only know lexican.
Speaker 1:They're chihuahuas then I don't know. I don't speak chihuahua. Ease, you're holding scott's walking around with his dog all over the place. Why are you always holding that dog?
Speaker 3:he's my translator well, like my dog, he's such a picky eater, he'll go eat without eating for like a day or two and and then when he's ready to eat, then he'll eat. You know, like hey, you don't want steak today, you don't want a hot dog today. Like you don't want spaghetti, like what the hell do you want? You know, it's like it's trying to feed my wife. You just gotta try to figure out what they want all right, what's the next one?
Speaker 3:okay so what's your guilty pleasure? That you would never, ever admit to your grandmother?
Speaker 1:Well, I would like my grandmother. I never really cussed around and I really love cussing. And we're pretty much when I was a teenager and then in twenties and older, I would never cuss there. Everybody's like why aren't you cuss? You always come like you love cussing and stuff. I'm like no, I, I, I just can't cuss around her and stuff. And she would be like, oh, jimmy, don't cussed there. Everybody's like why didn't you cuss? You always come, like you love cussing and stuff. I'm like, no, I, I just can't cuss around her and stuff. And she would be like, oh, jimmy, don't cuss. And I'm like, no, I don't, you're a liar. And she never really like, knew on that I would cuss or I would. I would say one word accidentally and she'd be like, no, don't, don't say that. And I'm like, okay, I really like to.
Speaker 3:I used to get yelled at for saying like, dang it. Yeah, or my parents are like you might as well say the real word if you're going to go that far. You know like, but yeah, as soon as I get to the door of the house or I'm sure it was like your grandmother's it's like, it's like yeah, it is. That's why the new sentence comes out.
Speaker 1:They survived the depression in the dust bowl. I think they can get some respect over here.
Speaker 3:Right right.
Speaker 1:All right. If you could make up a new holiday, what would it be?
Speaker 3:It would be chill a day. Chill a day that sounds cool. All work stops Like all work the whole government. Everything, everybody's job. It would just stop for that day and just relax, have like a picnic outside.
Speaker 1:Wait you, you have to have police and and people at the hospitals and stuff oh, my god.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's why it is chill day, because everybody could just stop and chill. You know, and yeah, people, people don't stop. What are you doing? Enjoy life no more. It's always on a go, go, go go. You know, I'm one of those people, but then I, as time goes by, I'm like man, I wish I had more time. So this one's a chill day, chill a day.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, sir, we'll try to pass it okay, what do you got now?
Speaker 3:okay, this should be a little easier on you yeah, no kidding where's the weirdest place? You fell asleep um weirdest.
Speaker 1:When I was, uh, when jimmy was a baby, I would have to be stay. I would. I was the one that had to stay up with him all night, even if I had to work in early in the morning, and I had to walk pace the the house with him and stuff while he, you know, walking him and stuff. And I went to work one time and they were having a morning meeting You've heard of our legendary morning meetings and I was standing up against the wall and everybody's up against the wall and I was. I was standing up against the uh, what's it called? The, the door that goes to the back, and I was just like I was just standing in, quiet, and then I leaned, I like I fell asleep standing up.
Speaker 1:I've never done that before and I I fell back. I fell back a little bit and I hit the. I hit the sweet door. No, it's it's like a long bar on the door, but it was. It's real loud when you push it. Bam, and I like I fell back and bam, and everybody's, like everybody turned and looked at me and I just quietly my eyes bugged out and opened up when I was leaning on the door and I just quietly pushed the door open and walked behind it. It just took off. It scared me because I've never fallen asleep, standing up and right in front of a loud meeting. I just I mean fate.
Speaker 3:I didn't fall forward and just crash a face first on the ground hey, I get that because when I was in the army we had to learn how to fall asleep anywhere. When you can, yeah you know. So lean up against the tree. So I was thinking you're going to tell me on the swinging door at the work and you fell into it. It just opened, wide open, you know.
Speaker 1:But yeah, I think I know those doors that go real loud man and scares the hell out of you especially when it's kind of quiet, yeah, and it's like in between someone talking and all of a sudden somebody slams the door. My whole body hit it and I'm like, oh my god, looking at p myself all right what number are we? On number nine okay what is the best thing in life, brings you best joy, the best feeling, the best thing in life family, awesome.
Speaker 3:That is the right answer nothing crazy, didn't have to think about it as much as I don't want to be at home sometimes, yeah, I get homesick, you know, and that's why sometimes I leave, when I do just to get homesick family when they're not bitching even when they're bitching man. You know like I like putting up a good fight sometimes you take a step back and you just laugh at all.
Speaker 1:They're like what are you laughing at nothing?
Speaker 3:yeah, and the words that get thrown around man like I don't know, they'd make pirates even. Uh, blush all right, what's mine number nine all right, this one isn't directly added to you, okay, but if animals could talk, which one would be the rudest? Um, I bet the cats, because just like their shit don't stink yeah, cats don't talk and look how they act.
Speaker 1:They act like f you and they like you try to tell them to do anything and they'll just like. Because I had some cats and they were like just no, and they would. They would do the rudest thing. Or they come up and just hey, what's up? And they just bite you and like death, uh, grab your arm and stuff and you're like what is your problem? I think they would be the biggest rudest people like f you and just like start going at you already up first thing, man.
Speaker 3:we're not at your grandma's house, so stop dropping all those f-bombs that you keep them still in F with you. It's like is that an F-bomb?
Speaker 1:All right, my last one for you. Okay, what is your favorite kind of weather?
Speaker 3:Fall it has to be around 59, 60 degrees, where I can wear a hoodie and shorts at the same time, and a nice bonfire and I could sit out and not sweat. Yep, that's mine too, and Sub-Zero, as can I say. Sub-zero weather is my second one man you know, because people are like why do you like the cold? It's because if I'm too cold I can add clothes, but if it's too hot I can only take so much off before I get off. Public indecency.
Speaker 1:Not to mention the same as yours, because when warm weather, people are miserable. They're sweating, they smell, they don't, they're grumpy I'm dying, you know like when the heat and it's uncomfortable.
Speaker 3:But when you have cool weather and snow, it's like, oh, just bundle up, man, it's all good, you know, when I was in in the desert I haven't talked about the army this much in a long time, but when I was in the desert in somalia and, uh, it would hit like 120, 122, oh, and I'd have all my my like the big bulletproof vest on and helmet and like all your like long sleeve shirts, you know, and at nighttime you're just freezing your ass off and you're legit shaking, you know, and you're like man, how cold is it? And then you look and it's like 85 and it's like holy shit wow you know.
Speaker 3:But it's so damn hot in the night, in the daytime, that when it drops 20 degrees you're freezing your ass off it's weird conditioning and then when everybody came back home, everybody turned blue.
Speaker 3:You're gonna never see that in your life, but the blood was thickening, oh my god. And yeah, because you're coming from such a warm climate. And then you come here and it was snowing and they haven't had snow in carolina a long time, and then everybody lips blue, skin blue, and I'm like what the hell did they do to me? You know, walking around like a giant smurf all right.
Speaker 1:What's my last one?
Speaker 3:all right give you a hard one here. No, my dog's gotta eat. What would your warning? Uh, shoot. Well, what would your warning label say?
Speaker 1:my morning, label would say don't piss off or warning uh, I don't know some kind of warning don't piss off or don't make angry, because he's he'd go. He'd go. When you push him too far he goes real psycho and you'll wish you never did. He won't let up.
Speaker 3:Mr mcgee, don't make me angry pretty much the whole doing.
Speaker 1:else angry the hulk is me. But I I'll take a lot of abuse and punishment and you know people spitting and talking at me and stuff. But ask my wife, when I hit that one mark it's over. And then I'm just like a relentless savage at somebody, like oh, okay, you want it, now you got it. And they'll be like okay, okay, and I'll just keep going at it like days after or something like no, no, come on, I'll make you wish you never born.
Speaker 3:These have all been really great questions and we hope you had some fun with it and we hope again that you answered some. You know at home or in the car or wherever you're listening to this at, in the shower, soaping up as Len would say. Yeah, let us know some of those answers if you have any, or you just a couple.

But, jim, before we leave, yes, we need the great quote that muhammad gandhi would appreciate, okay all right, here's the quote.

We both appreciate everybody listening and tuning in, and we will talk to you again next week. Bye, bye.
Speaker 2:Bye. Took the dog. Now I'm just a rolling stone. We had a good thing going. Now it's vanished in thin air. But, girl, you crossed the line, took my beer. That's not fair. Oh, she took the dog and my last case of beer. Now I'm sitting here drowning in my tears. She took the dog and my last case of beer. Now my heart's broken and it's crystal clear. I gave you all my lovin', made you feel like a queen. Now you're rollin' with my beagle and my broom. It's obscene. I thought we'd last forever, but you vanished in the night, left me with just memories and a fridge. That ain't right. Oh, she took the doll and my last case of beer. Now I'm sitting here drowning in my tears. She took the dog and my last case of beer. Now my heart's broken and it's crystal clear. I'm singing.
Speaker 2:Do up lullabies to the empty room. Every song that I hum is a sad, empty tune. You and the dog are gone and the fridge is dry. All I got left are these tears and a sigh. I thought that we'd be together through the thick and the thin, but you took my best friend and the fin. But you took my best friend and the beer. What a sin, I'll find a new beginning, but it's tough to make it through Without my faithful beagle and that cold brew. It's true. Oh, she took the dog and my last case of beer. Now I'm sitting here drowning in my tears. She took the dog and my last case of beer. Now my heart's broken and it's crystal clear. So here's to the memories, both bitter and sweet. I'm left with an empty fridge and a broken heartbeat. Oh, she took the dog and my last case of beer. Now I'm singing do a blues with no one near.
