• how parenting feels different when life is stable 
• the cats’ reactions and the new household dynamics 
• Pigeon Forge travel notes, cabin life and kid-friendly pivots 
• surviving a long road trip with stops, snacks and iPads 
• why CounterClock stays our vacation true crime podcast

Cold Open And Neighborhood Chaos

SPEAKER_01 0:06

Lanterns, flicker, thunder roll, stop and crystal on patrol. Back road twist, the moon hangs low. That squad tracks where the rivers flow. That was the lead.

SPEAKER_00 0:22

We are here at the what do we call in this place? We always say something different, I forget.

SPEAKER_04 0:30

We're at Broke Down Palace.

SPEAKER_00 0:32

Yeah, Brookdown Palace, the uh It's All Good in the Hood shop store.

SPEAKER_04 0:38

Oh God. We are we're under warfare here in the neighborhood.

SPEAKER_00 0:42

We're hunkered down in our bunker. It's like I don't want to say it's like Hitler's bunker, but it's it's about that secure. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_04 0:54

We're no longer playing fireworks or gunshots.

SPEAKER_00 0:57

It's been just gunshots.

SPEAKER_04 0:59

Stabbings.

SPEAKER_00 1:00

I don't know what kind of noises they make, but and it was kind of funny before, and I would have just added it to the rest of the totals. But the biggest news is that we now have a baby.

SPEAKER_04 1:15

Yep. There is a toddler in the house. Well, not quite toddler yet. We can't really say age, but pre- toddler. Pre- toddler. Um, we can't share certain specifics, but we can definitely say that our life has been turned upside down in a good way.

SPEAKER_00 1:33

Those of us that know us know about it.

SPEAKER_04 1:36

Yeah, our little listeners already know what the heck's going on. Yeah, so except for maybe one. Right.

SPEAKER_00 1:42

Or two. But yeah, but um it's uh you talk about a life change, brother.

SPEAKER_04 1:51

Bro, so I've done this. Like I am an old pro at having kids and raising kids, and I didn't just have mine.

SPEAKER_00 2:00

I get it, but you came out of retirement.

SPEAKER_04 2:02

God, coming out of retirement is a different ball game.

SPEAKER_00 2:05

And it's not just like coming, you won Michael Jordan a couple years out of the game.

Welcome Our New Little Roommate

SPEAKER_00 2:10

This would be like, it'd be like if Michael Jordan wanted to come back now.

SPEAKER_04 2:14

Right. My youngest is turning 27 this year, right? So, and she's been self-sufficient since she was like 10. So, like, shit. It's and we've been doing our absolute own thing for the past four and a half, five years, like with no responsibility other than three cats.

SPEAKER_00 2:37

So it's and again. Yeah, I mean, like you said, we can't really talk a whole lot about it, but it's just been Yeah, there'll be more to come, but he's an absolute joy. But yeah, we uh we're having a blast, and uh, but yeah, we're doing a lot of that now.

SPEAKER_04 2:56

Right. This is Scott's first time up at the plate.

SPEAKER_00 3:01

So um a lot of sports references here. I don't know why, but it's scene feels appropriate.

SPEAKER_04 3:08

It does feel appropriate, but it's funny because like now, so first of all, my first go-around, I wasn't, I was like a I mean, I was a young mom, so I was not like interested in like which preschools my kids were gonna go to. I was like, can fucking somebody just watch these heathens for me so I can get to work, right? So, and I didn't have a stable partner through that. So some of that is new for me, but now it's like I get why there's like the beige aesthetic moms. I get why there's like PTA clutches.

SPEAKER_00 3:46

I think like anything, you do it a lot differently the second time around. Well at this stage in life versus where you're doing it at like in your twenties.

SPEAKER_04 4:00

Oh, for sure.

SPEAKER_00 4:02

I mean that applies to anything, right? Right, I mean, because it's just the way the world works. You're not, you know what I mean, like it's just different. You just make better choices.

SPEAKER_04 4:12

Right. You have to do it.

SPEAKER_00 4:13

Your life's more stable too, like you said. That's the big thing. That's the biggest thing, is it's just you're not, you know what I mean, as a young parent, you're like you said, you're just trying to survive.

SPEAKER_04 4:25

Right. And even like, so once my kids were older and like I finally started working in corporate America, even I was like, ugh, these bitches taking six weeks off, and now I'm like, fuck, can I have more than six weeks, please? Like, I get all of it. I get all of it. There's a new lens for me completely, and it's it's interesting, but um, I'm like excited for lots. Like our cats are hissing at each other in the other room. Speaking of, the cats have been pretty cool with it.

SPEAKER_00 5:00

Yeah, I mean, for the most part, we have three cats and two of them have been pretty cool with it. One of them wants absolutely nothing to do with it.

SPEAKER_04 5:08

Right, right. Sally's just like she stays outside.

SPEAKER_00 5:12

But I mean, she's that way with anything. Right. Like I said, she don't like nobody or anything.

SPEAKER_04 5:16

Gray's a mother to him. As soon as she hears them cry, she's bolting up the steps to see what's going on.

SPEAKER_00 5:21

Sally don't even like your parents. And they live next door and take care of him when we're away.

SPEAKER_04 5:26

This is true. This is true. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_00 5:28

And the other two like him. Right. They know that it means extra food, extra treats, all that garbage.

SPEAKER_04 5:37

Right. They know that they're getting lots of love and attention from us whenever he's in bed or whatever.

SPEAKER_00 5:44

Well, no, I'm talking about Oh, when my parents are around.

SPEAKER_04 5:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:49

Like even yeah, I'm saying that two the two same two that have warmed up to him have warmed up. They but Sally doesn't want anything to do with anybody other than you or I. No other cats.

SPEAKER_04 6:03

No.

SPEAKER_00 6:04

She tolerates Mr. Meowgi.

SPEAKER_04 6:08

Yeah, she does. She loves me.

SPEAKER_00 6:10

She didn't get it along with any of the other cats.

SPEAKER_04 6:12

Right, right. No, um, sorry, I was about to sneeze. That's why I was making bases.

SPEAKER_00 6:17

This little little cat lighter.

SPEAKER_04 6:22

Speaking of funny shit, what's been going on in our life? So obviously, babies, so we've been really, really busy with that. We took a whole episode off just to kind of get our sea legs back.

SPEAKER_00 6:34

I mean, we had to. Yeah. We had to. Yeah. I mean, imagine one day you don't have a child, and then you just get a like a child that's already moving. Like a yeah. Like a yeah, like a a small, like I in between a infant and a toddler. Right.

SPEAKER_04 6:59

That is right. So it's funny. I am thoroughly enjoying

Parenting Round Two Mindset Shift

SPEAKER_04 7:05

watching you though. So um, while we were doing all this, we had already had a trip planned to Pigeon Forge because we hadn't expected to get the baby until later. Right.

SPEAKER_00 7:18

We had a little cabin river.

SPEAKER_04 7:21

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_00 7:22

And it was nice, it was beyond nice. Oh, it was so nice.

SPEAKER_04 7:27

And uh, but it our trip totally changed because the dynamic of the trip changed because we went from wanting to like go out and do comedy and have drinks to doing kid things, um, kid friendly, family friendly things. But I enjoy it because I like there's like there's like a bro code that I love among dads. They like I watched you guys, like you all give like the nod. It's hilarious. It's so funny to see. And like before, like we noticed kids, right? Because we're not like assholes, but right, we would notice kids and say, Oh, that kid's cute or whatever, but we wouldn't now, like, the kids are talking to us.

SPEAKER_00 8:18

I mean, we're assholes, but we're not scumbags. Like this one guy say um small town murder.

SPEAKER_04 8:24

Small town murder. Oh, we need to get into the bag.

SPEAKER_00 8:26

We haven't listened to them in them in a while.

SPEAKER_04 8:28

Speaking of which, speaking of which, as always, when we go on vacation, we like to tie in a podcast for the road trip. First all of all, shout out to the baby because he did hella good on a 10-hour down and 10-hour back road trip. Right, with stops. Right.

SPEAKER_00 8:47

That's why it was 10 hours because we were stopping for him. Right.

SPEAKER_04 8:50

Because we didn't want him to be like cooped up in a car seat for too long.

SPEAKER_00 8:56

But um But he did great though.

SPEAKER_04 8:58

Oh my god, he did amazing. Thank God for iPads. Like, there's so many new technologies that are available today that weren't available when my older kids were younger, that it's like anyone else.

SPEAKER_00 9:11

It's just like anyone else. It's like adults on an eight-hour trip. Right. You need toys and snacks. Absolutely. Just what a it the toys are different. Actually, it is really in theory, no. I mean, no. I mean, because that did, you know, getting to go to sleep then. Right. But no, you we you just take a bunch of toys and try to entertain them. And yeah, I mean, it was there was there times where he it it was a little uncomfortable, sure. Of course, but that's why we made so many stops, because it was like we're not gonna pretend it's perfect, but it was good. Right, right, absolutely. And I mean, of course, the trip was great. Yeah, I mean, that was a lot of fun. It was uh not the best weather.

SPEAKER_04 10:00

No, but it was good though. It was like sneaky good.

SPEAKER_00 10:04

It was sneaky good, but it rained heavily at some point. Right. But uh no, it was very chill. We had a nice time. Um But we got to listen to Oh, yeah, like we were just saying, the new season of Counterclock. Yes. Since we were talking about putting, since we mentioned small town, but like, because we love listening to obviously any like any good true crime podcast, we talk about this all the time. I'm a sucker for yes, give me, but counterclock was be like that's like our vacation vacation podcast. It's become our vacation podcast. We listen to it every year on vacation. We discovered it on vacation. Yeah. And it just it just so happens that usually, you know, Memorial Day, you're usually ready to take it, at least a small trip. Right. It's not uh it's not always been like a big trip or anything like that. You know what I mean? But um it's it just always seems to be we're doing something that we're taking a bit of a road trip, Memorial Day weekend. And things and they that's like the time that it seems to drop, or right around there, or whatever. But it's just been it's been several years in a row that we've always listened to it.

SPEAKER_04 11:19

While we were road tripping around this time of year.

SPEAKER_00 11:22

Right, yeah, right, absolutely.

SPEAKER_04 11:23

And this season is I feel like it made a comeback.

SPEAKER_00 11:27

Oh good. I felt like it made a comeback.

SPEAKER_04 11:29

I feel like Daily is gonna solve this shit, though. Like, it's so good.

SPEAKER_00 11:35

I mean, it is good. I've so you know,

How The Cats Handle A Baby

SPEAKER_00 11:40

half of the name of the game with like a true crime podcast is like you gotta find I hate to say it this way, a good murder. You know what I mean? Like it's gotta be like it can't be like a there's gotta be a story to it, is what I'm saying. Like it's gotta be either it doesn't have to be unsolved, but that helps. Right. Like it but then it's like a whodunit. So you that's how you frame the sort of narrative of it.

SPEAKER_04 12:09

Right.

SPEAKER_00 12:11

Or it's gotta be like a good story, like a you know, something like a lot of twists and turns or something like that that led to this event. Because it's not just, I mean, like I said, I hate to say it, a good murder, so to speak, in the sense of a good story behind the murder, because no murder's good, obviously. Right, but the story is good.

SPEAKER_04 12:36

Right. Like you don't want your run of the mill, fall down the steps, murder. We know who did it in those cases. Right.

SPEAKER_00 12:42

It's the same reason we like any mystery or dateline or anything like that, because people are curious. You want to know what absolutely.

SPEAKER_04 12:52

I mean I I just like recognizing patterns. That's why I like to watch them because I like to like check a box in, you know, this category or that category. But um, first of all, how had we not heard of this murder? The the Lane Bryant murder.

SPEAKER_00 13:10

I have no idea.

SPEAKER_04 13:12

Because it's like, well, here's the You have to consider where we were in our lives in 2008. Oh, absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 13:18

I mean, I definitely understand how I missed it, but it just seems like it would have been such, but the way we consume news was different back then. 100%. If today, if it happened today, it'd be you wouldn't not be able to not know about it.

SPEAKER_04 13:31

Right. And I'm sure that like Nancy Grace was covering it in 2008 or whatever, but like we weren't, like our lives were different. Like that was like before you and I would have gotten watched the news though. Right. Like, and it happened in what, Illinois. So like in Pennsylvania, we might have got it.

SPEAKER_00 13:51

So unless you were watching like CNN or like what any of the other national news networks. Right. You know, like so you wouldn't have like really probably known about it unless you just happened at the time to catch something on because I'm sure it made some national headlines right around the time.

SPEAKER_04 14:11

And I don't think and podcasts weren't really taking off just yet.

SPEAKER_00 14:15

And who knows what else was going on in the world then? I haven't looked into that.

SPEAKER_04 14:19

Obama had just become president in 2017.

SPEAKER_00 14:22

When did he Yeah, right? No, well, but when it happened, I don't Or or he it was leading up to the election, I guess, right?

SPEAKER_04 14:30

Right, right.

SPEAKER_00 14:31

Yeah, because when did it happen? I I think it happened in December. So he would have been elected, but he wouldn't have been president.

SPEAKER_04 14:37

Okay, right. But still, like it was just like I but for how many it was five women and one survivor, right? So five women shh like executed, and and I just I don't

Pigeon Forge Trip Turns Family-Friendly

SPEAKER_04 14:55

remember. But again, like I could have, it could have been on the news even and I could have seen it.

SPEAKER_00 15:00

It was probably definitely on the news, but then I think that's what it is, is like it wasn't one of those moments that like permeated. Right. It's uh not like today, like I said, where something goes viral so far.

SPEAKER_04 15:11

Right, if something like that happened today, that's what gone.

SPEAKER_00 15:14

Like I said, you wouldn't be able to not know about it. Right. Like it would be impossible to not know about it. Right. Because it would just be flooding.

SPEAKER_04 15:23

But anyways, not gonna drain the entire podcast because Right, go out and listen to it. Definitely for sure.

SPEAKER_00 15:30

It's the best true crime podcast. I think it's the best podcast. True crime.

SPEAKER_04 15:36

We say it all the time. Like, hands down, our number one.

SPEAKER_00 15:39

Yeah, I can't even, and you know that we listen to a lot, we know other people listen to a lot.

SPEAKER_04 15:43

Right.

SPEAKER_00 15:44

We're not the only ones who constantly searching for good a good podcast to listen to.

SPEAKER_04 15:50

Right. Um, and oh, I know what else I wanted to talk about from down there. So um, while we were down there, this stupid video went viral. They're calling the guy the kangaroo man, that guy that like uh beefed up or whatever he did. I don't even know how to describe it if you're gonna be able to do that.

SPEAKER_00 16:12

I would have loved to have been there just to watch it, just to have been a part of that moment.

SPEAKER_04 16:16

So I think it it was either at Tanger Outlets, it was at the Nike store.

SPEAKER_00 16:21

Yeah, it was at the Tanger, the Tanger.

SPEAKER_04 16:24

Tanger or whatever. I think Tanger.

SPEAKER_00 16:27

Tanger, I don't know. Oh no. No one's ever told me. No one's ever told me. I've seen them, you know, all over the place.

SPEAKER_04 16:34

Uh-huh. It might be Tanger. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 16:35

Tanger, Tanger. Uh, who knows?

SPEAKER_04 16:39

But it was at the Nike store.

SPEAKER_00 16:41

Yep, at the outlets. Just saying at the outlets.

SPEAKER_04 16:43

At the outlets. And gosh, it well, it was in the parking lot, like, but that was the store in the background. And so while that was happening, because I don't know exactly when it happened, but I'm pretty sure that it was right before the rainstorm on the day that we got stuck in traffic. Um, like, because it happened like as we were like stuck in traffic, I believe, or right before, because it was still sunny out when that happened. And I saw it while we were sitting there. I think that makes sense. But um, regardless, it happened while we were down there, and it was pretty funny. So this guy, he looks like a cross between Walton Goggins and like a ripped Walton Goggins. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 17:28

He's like half Jersey short. It's Walton Goggins and lived at the Jersey Shore.

SPEAKER_04 17:34

And and the Micah situation had a baby.

SPEAKER_00 17:37

Right.

SPEAKER_04 17:38

It'd be this guy. Oh my god, if you haven't seen the video, just look for Kangaroo Man Pigeon Forge. It's effing hilarious. It's so ridiculous. We listened to the guy explain what happened, and it was basically just like a weird parking lot situation where, you know, people are angry in parking spots.

SPEAKER_00 17:59

I've been angry at the parking lots. But I'm just saying, like, the thing is, is like it's just meant to be contained. Right. You're not supposed to like. But people are weird, man. People are really weird, dude.

SPEAKER_04 18:14

And people are just quick to get angry. But I will say though, he that obviously that guy wasn't from around there, or hopefully he wasn't, because every single other person that we encountered was absolutely hands down the nicest.

SPEAKER_00 18:29

Oh, absolutely. And the people that like the people, although like workers and the like people that you encounter when you're out in the other parts of the world. Right. Like, they were just the nice the the locals, you know what I mean? They're the nicest people.

SPEAKER_04 18:43

Oh nice.

SPEAKER_00 18:44

So nice. We did not see a black bear, unfortunately. We did not look like hell.

SPEAKER_04 18:50

We looked, we didn't really look.

SPEAKER_00 18:52

But we waited. We were expected to, because they say they're running through towns and things. We had a cabin on the river. I was cooking seafood and yeah, we were hoping the shrimps would attract them. I was smoking trout on the deck. No.

SPEAKER_04 19:08

No, he was not.

SPEAKER_00 19:09

Boil and honey.

SPEAKER_04 19:11

How nice was that cabin, though? Uh not even ten minutes from like amazing.

SPEAKER_00 19:17

Just great when you can be like so close to things, but yet still be private in a way.

SPEAKER_04 19:25

Oh gosh, it felt like it was in the middle of nowhere. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:28

I mean, it was no, it was like four minutes from the main drag. Right.

SPEAKER_04 19:32

From the main

Road Trip Survival With iPads

SPEAKER_04 19:35

but so there was to like some of the stuff we did is all touristy. I mean, most of the stuff. We did all the tourist stuff, of course, because of where we were. But one of the greatest discoveries that we had before we get into food, because I know you want to go there. One of the greatest discoveries was the parrot mountain.

SPEAKER_00 19:54

Well, we did every animal thing you could do. We did because of having a kid with us. Um, but Parrot Mountain was the coolest thing. It's just this thing on a mountain where they put parrots. And I mean And other birds. What they built, they have it's like Peter Pan's Neverland Casino. No, but I'm saying it's like, it's like walk, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04 20:25

You know how just like you're walking it feels like you're walking in the treetops.

SPEAKER_00 20:28

Yeah, because they have all these walkways and the forbidden, the forbidden route. That board. I wanted to go down there because it was like that was looked really jungly. Like it looked really probably unsafe, honestly. And I guess that's probably why they don't let kids run down there.

SPEAKER_04 20:48

Yeah, it was blocked off.

SPEAKER_00 20:50

Because uh, ooh man, but it was like that's exactly Peter Pan, like a walkway through the treetops, and then there's parrots there. And they're not other birds, other birds, but the parrots are running free. The parents run the show, they just have parrots and mcalls everywhere, every kind of parrot you can imagine.

SPEAKER_04 21:09

And what are those um the the white ones?

SPEAKER_00 21:15

African grays.

SPEAKER_04 21:16

Oh, yeah, there was a lot of African grays there. They were so oh my god, they were so unbelievable.

SPEAKER_00 21:21

Some of them were talking. Yeah, they were talking to the people. It was the greatest yeah, I mean, I would recommend it to anyone. It was just, it looks like somebody was like, man, I won't love parrots, and I want to just rescue parrots, and I it just turned into but you talk about worth every penny because that place, like I said, just to build it alone, let alone the upkeep.

SPEAKER_04 21:47

Right, right.

SPEAKER_00 21:48

But just to build it alone, all the porn, all that like walkway and stuff, up in that mountain.

SPEAKER_04 21:56

Yeah, like this. Like I priced it because that's the kind of shit I do. And In today's money, it would have cost anywhere between the eight and twenty million. I think it cost between two and six, truly, actually, back in the day when they built it. But it was a passion project because I did research it. And it's that's what a lot of the pigeon forage animal type adventures are, other than Ripley's, of course, which is tourist. But the other animal places are all just places that started out as like I want to rescue or don't peace. Yeah, whatever. That was a bite. That was that was so fun. But the other hidden treasure that is a slightly off the beaten path was Chubby's.

SPEAKER_00 22:41

Yes. That was like a world-class Southern restaurant. I mean, when I go back, I'm getting the pork tenderloin sandwich. It was like something you see on the Food Network where the pork tenderloin sandwich is as big as your face.

SPEAKER_04 22:54

Right.

SPEAKER_00 22:54

Bigger.

Our Vacation True Crime Pick

SPEAKER_04 22:55

Right. Like it just blows off the button.

SPEAKER_00 22:58

It's like a pumpkin or something. I don't even know how to describe it. It looks like a, first off, I don't even what part of the pork is that? The tenderloin I thought was that little teeny tiny thing. And somehow they turn it into this giant. They like splab it.

SPEAKER_04 23:13

Clearly they plant, they pounded it, they like pound it out, right?

SPEAKER_00 23:16

Oh, I love pounded out meat, man. A little veal cutlet.

SPEAKER_04 23:21

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00 23:22

A little chicken cutlet, frying up the cutlets. Cut lips.

SPEAKER_04 23:26

I love cut lips. Um, but yeah, and hands down. So we last year at this time we were out at Lovelace, or no, was it two years ago? Two years ago. We went to Lovelace Cafe outside Nashville, and they're known for their fried green tomatoes. Hands down Chubby's was way better.

SPEAKER_00 23:45

Yeah, way better. And all of it, the country fried steak. Oh my dear Lord. Jesus, the white gravy. Oh, buddy.

SPEAKER_04 23:55

Is a lot of people say their stuff is from scratch, but I don't know the southern saying, but that'll butter your biscuit, boy. That's a good one. That's a good southern saying. And they have the cute little chotchkey out front. They have an old Bob's big.

SPEAKER_00 24:08

They have all kinds of old stuff.

SPEAKER_04 24:11

Right.

SPEAKER_00 24:12

But you could tell, boy, after church let out, boy, it filled up quick.

SPEAKER_04 24:16

Everybody in our church.

SPEAKER_00 24:17

Church let out, and it was packed, man. There were people waiting. We went in, there was nobody.

SPEAKER_04 24:22

Right.

SPEAKER_00 24:23

I mean, there was people, but it was like there was plenty of seating.

SPEAKER_04 24:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 24:27

And then, man, it didn't take long.

SPEAKER_04 24:30

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_00 24:31

It was the I mean, to be fair, there's also only about 20 tables. Something like that.

SPEAKER_04 24:36

Yeah, I mean, I don't know how many it seats, but it it was, I expected, I was like, yeah, we're gonna see the turkey.

SPEAKER_00 24:41

A lot of babies in there.

SPEAKER_04 24:43

Yeah. It was a lot of families, baby friendly. Right. Uh and you could tell it was, I mean, obviously it was the locals because, like you said, as soon as church let out, it was people in their Sunday bags coming in. So, and again, with the niceness, everybody was so nice.

SPEAKER_00 24:59

I walked into Dollar General, they were praying for the guy at the register. I don't know what he had going on in his life, but I mean he's a dollar general employee, you can imagine. So, but they were praying with it. They had hands on that brother saying, Help this boy Jesus, he needs you. And he was uh yeah, he got a little blessing there, the Dollar General worker. Like I said, he's probably gonna need it.

SPEAKER_04 25:25

Those are the kind of people you encounter down there, though.

SPEAKER_00 25:28

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_04 25:29

I love it, and it's a nice break from the negativity up here.

SPEAKER_00 25:33

Where did you just go? It's just nice to meet nice people.

SPEAKER_04 25:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 25:38

When you think people are nice around here, and they are, but not like that. They're not overly friendly.

SPEAKER_04 25:44

Right, and it's genuine too. It's not like it doesn't feel forced or whatever. They just it's a different pace in the state.

SPEAKER_00 25:51

I've never walked into Dollar General around here and had somebody praying for the employees.

SPEAKER_04 25:55

No.

SPEAKER_00 25:56

Maybe in their heads, they're like, Jesus, help these people.

SPEAKER_04 26:01

Maybe.

SPEAKER_00 26:02

But not just laying hands on them. And I've seen some things in Dollar General as we know. Oh my god. But uh, but yeah, so so what in what's going on?

SPEAKER_04 26:16

I mean, there's literally in the alien disclosures. Yeah, that's it.

SPEAKER_00 26:20

Alien disclosures.

SPEAKER_04 26:22

That's it. That's the big one for this.

SPEAKER_00 26:23

I mean, here's my take on the alien disclosures is like, I feel like that anybody that's already been into UFOs and stuff, this I don't think that there's anything that's blown my mind. I mean, there's been some cool things, but it's all stuff that's been postulated and stuff before, and you know, uh Right.

SPEAKER_04 26:47

And coming from the people that it came from originally when we first found out about these things, whatever they were, like the the flate things and stuff. All of that, when when you consider who it's coming from, you just factor in that it's probably true. Like, so again, no surprises because some of a lot of those stories we had heard before. Yeah, I mean, we knew it's it's confirmation of stories that we inorganized.

SPEAKER_00 27:14

Right. I and I think to the general public it's probably news. You know what I mean? For a lot of the stuff. But I think anybody, like I said, that follows the phenomena.

SPEAKER_04 27:26

Um the UAP phenomena.

SPEAKER_00 27:30

Phenomena or phenomenon. What's a phenomenon versus a phenomenon?

SPEAKER_04 27:36

A phenomenon is just one.

SPEAKER_00 27:38

Phenomenon. No, because there's a the documentary is called the phenomenon, and that's about the UFOs.

SPEAKER_04 27:46

Let's ask my trustee assistant.

SPEAKER_00 27:49

Documentary. Yeah, because I need to know this. I think this is very important because I've been sometimes I say it wrong.

SPEAKER_04 27:57

What's the difference between phenomena and phenomenon?

SPEAKER_00 28:00

This is what we do in this podcast. We help people speak better.

SPEAKER_04 28:05

Yeah, phenomenon equals one thing, and phenomena equals more than one thing. So the strange light over the mountain was a phenomenon, but the strange lights reported across several states was phenomena.

unknown 28:18

Huh.

SPEAKER_00 28:19

Look

Kangaroo Man And Parking Lot Rage

SPEAKER_00 28:20

at that. Well, the sh the thing is called the phenomenon. So maybe they just uh listen, write to the documentary people. Uh I didn't make it up.

SPEAKER_04 28:30

What was it referring to?

SPEAKER_00 28:32

The phenomenon of UFOs.

SPEAKER_04 28:35

Right. It well, it's one subject. Right. UFOs. So that is one thing.

SPEAKER_00 28:42

No, I agree. See, we could argue this all day.

SPEAKER_04 28:44

However, if they're talking about the multiple instances, that's the phenomena.

SPEAKER_00 28:48

Well, I don't think it yeah, I mean we could ru I think we need to take this up with the director and producer because I just I don't think that it really encompasses one thing. It can't. They're talking about all sorts of stuff abductions, lights, cattle mutilations. Those are all different phenomena that add up to the skinwalker ranch phenomena, as we'll call it. Monaco phenomena.

SPEAKER_03 29:29

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00 29:30

Um but no, but seriously. I know more about the movie, but yeah.

SPEAKER_04 29:38

Um Well, so here's the thing though, is this so the first wave of information is about uh UAPs, essentially. Um, which or UFOs if you're old school. Old school, right. So that's the first wave. And there's and again, a lot of those sightings have already been spoken about um by the guys in the industry. You know everybody's names. I don't pay attention to that.

SPEAKER_00 30:09

No, all the Air Force people, all the Navy people, all the ex-intelligence officers, all the people that talk about it on all the podcasts, all the shows, all the things.

SPEAKER_04 30:19

But so the second wave that's allegedly coming out.

SPEAKER_00 30:23

Well, no, it's already out. We're on the third release.

SPEAKER_04 30:26

Okay, so the second wave was what then?

SPEAKER_00 30:29

Translucent beings. Now, I don't even know. I haven't even been keeping up with it because it's like I haven't read anything good. The uh the thing that I some of them debunked this or that. Who cares? Like, again, I just don't think this is anything really meaningful. They're not gonna you really think they release anything good? No.

SPEAKER_04 30:53

I don't understand either.

SPEAKER_00 30:56

Like, I don't even know what the These are the same people that said we're releasing all the files are the same people that said they're releasing all the Epstein files. That's all I'm gonna say on this subject. So like that's all you need to know. You're never gonna know the truth. Well, I mean, you may know the truth one day, but I just don't know.

SPEAKER_04 31:16

Like I kind of don't know that it mat like I just don't know if it matters. Like if they've existed our entire lifetimes, which I'm assuming they have, right? If they exist.

SPEAKER_00 31:29

Well, here's the thing is they argue that like people that it's like accounted for like in the Bible, that it's accounted for like in all these other different things, this and that. And then uh so it's like here's the thing that I like, and then you have other people that are like, oh, they're demons and or angels, or this or that, or I don't think that it's any of that because first off, why would angels or demons need vehicular craft to maneuver around? Right. Like, and what like what are we talking about here? Like to me, that that's to me, it seems completely silly.

SPEAKER_04 32:10

Um Right, but religion's always gonna try to reconcile it with Oh no, absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 32:15

Oh, I totally get it. And they try to say that some of them look like winged beings and this whatever, dude. I'm not here for that. But like it makes sense, but I'm I think that like interdimensional beings of some kind of thing are on the table.

SPEAKER_04 32:30

I think that uh see that's what uh like my like my the theory that I've lived with forever

Parrot Mountain And Cabin Life

SPEAKER_04 32:40

is interdimensional, right? I like I don't like I'm very into metaphysics, obviously, and I don't think when I think of space, I don't think of it as like a thing outside of where we live. I think of it as the thing that lives, maybe.

SPEAKER_00 32:59

Right.

SPEAKER_04 32:59

So like I feel like we can travel in and out of it.

SPEAKER_00 33:02

Yeah, I mean, here's the thing that I and I've said this, like I have no clue what it could be. It's these things are zipping around and breaking every law of like physics that we know. So, like, why do we think that we could even possibly begin to understand what they're doing, what they're up to, what it is. Like, clearly, whatever it is is doesn't want to to be known.

SPEAKER_04 33:26

Right.

SPEAKER_00 33:27

I mean, in the sense of like whatever it is or its intentions, I should say. Obviously, it's not harmful because But like think of like I'm gonna be able to do that. It's back to the Bigfoot raping people. I mean, they you don't they're doing a little bug stuff here and killing some cows, but they're not they if they're that far advanced, then they could definitely wipe us out with a the blink of an eye.

SPEAKER_04 33:55

What if they're so what if they're killing cows to keep the methane emissions?

SPEAKER_00 34:02

Here's my thing is people always try to tie all these phenomena together. Phenomenons. Phenomena. Try to tie these phenomena together. They try to tie it. They try to tie all these phenomena together. And I'm never gonna be able to say the word again and not think about it. So they're gonna try to tie these phenomena together. But I don't necessarily think they all have to be from the same thing. And second off, how do we know that all these things are the same thing? Like, uh, what if they're different things and different like we're putting them all together in one big group.

SPEAKER_04 34:48

Exactly.

SPEAKER_00 34:48

But we don't exactly even begin, we know we don't it's not that we don't know, we have no clue what the hell's going on.

SPEAKER_04 34:55

Right.

SPEAKER_00 34:55

And to even to me, honestly, to even try to pretend to offer any kind of like answer based in any sort of reality is just speculation.

SPEAKER_03 35:09

Right.

SPEAKER_00 35:10

Like you don't no one knows. It's like one of those things, no one knows, you don't know something that I don't know because like I'm laughing because so AI is part of kind of that discussion, right? Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_04 35:32

Why are you making that face?

SPEAKER_00 35:33

Because it's all scary stuff. AI and aliens, it's all together, they're all coming to destroy us. I do believe it's demons and we're doomed for hell.

SPEAKER_04 35:42

Stop it. No, you know I love me some AI, right? But I'm also intelligent enough to use it responsibly.

SPEAKER_00 35:49

Not trying to worship the devil.

SPEAKER_04 35:51

Right. Like I'm not trying to use it to figure out how to conjure up demons. Although I don't this version of Chat Chippy wouldn't tell me. Grok probably would. I don't know. I haven't talked to Grok. Grok is scary stuff, but so why did remember? So I'm researching. I always, every time we go to another state, I research cities that are livable in that state. It's just something I've always done. So I was doing research on um what was it? Knoxville, Tennessee, today. And Chappie came back and said, you know what was surprising when I started doing my research two years ago? I was like, I haven't been fucking talking to you for two years, Chappie.

SPEAKER_00 36:36

So why were you doing he said he did he say two years? I thought he said when I first started searching years ago.

SPEAKER_04 36:44

Right, Knoxville. I was surprised to find that it was a family-friendly place. And I was like, why? What? Like what years ago? Years ago.

SPEAKER_00 36:54

I don't believe it, but yeah, it's no, I believe that it's all that's a scare.

SPEAKER_04 37:01

That response scared me though, because then because every once in a while, I'm like, who's fucking responding to me? Like, who is responding to me? Right. Because sometimes it'll get lazy and it'll like peter off and like fucking forget what I asked it and start running me in circles and acting like a lunatic as if it doesn't understand modern English. And I'll sit there and fight with it like it's a human being. I'll be like, you dumb fuck. I paid $20 a month for you. You better fucking listen to me. Like I'm arguing with Chappie, then I'm like, and then sometimes like I can argue. So I've argued aliens with Chappie before because I watch ancient aliens and I know that a lot of it is hyperbole, but there's a lot of it that makes you fucking think.

SPEAKER_00 37:50

Like, don't get me started. We sit here and talk about like the erosion patterns on the Sphinx and this and that, and water in the Nile Valve. You can get into all that stuff, and it's like these guys aren't making it up. These are legitimate people that have these questions with a lot of this stuff. I'm not saying a lot, a lot of it is kooky, but again, that all gets, it's because it all gets tied in this one under this one umbrella, and it's really so many different things. And I think it's okay to ask questions because clearly when you look at sites like Gobekli Tepe or something like that, people were doing things way before we were ever keeping track of anything.

SPEAKER_04 38:35

Right. Well, like some of the alleged machinery that was used. Well, I'll tell you.

SPEAKER_00 38:43

Look at what the file they found in Skinwalker Ranch. Ceramics. Right. That are machine conductors. Because they they have, well, they're first off, they're what were they superconductors. Superconductors. They're superconductor ceramics that were machined because they have like you can see the like tooling or what. I don't know. Right. You know what I'm saying, right? Right.

SPEAKER_04 39:05

It's the tooling marvel.

SPEAKER_00 39:06

And it's like whatever made you can see that's thousands of years old, buried in a mountain in Utah. Right, right. Like, what in the hell is it doing there? How did it get there? What the hell's going on?

SPEAKER_04 39:21

But we also know that, like, so what Appalachia, I just found out recently, was so there's parts of the Appalachian Mountains in Scotland because Yeah, it's all part of the same pandemia or whatever with it but when the continents were together. So me and Chappie were talking about that too. Like, what so what happens now? Like, does it like meet on the other side and the Pacific closes? And he was like, We'll never know in our lifetime because of how long it takes. Right.

SPEAKER_00 39:53

It'll be, yeah, it'll take a look at it.

SPEAKER_04 39:55

But it could either, so either it could drift back to where the Atlantic closes again, or it could drift forward to where the Pacific closes. Or one of the main theories is that everything drifts up to Antarctica and like collects in a pool around Antarctica.

SPEAKER_00 40:13

Those are three the supercontinent cycle.

SPEAKER_04 40:17

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 40:18

Yeah, I mean, the the earth is a constantly changing thing. And uh, but yeah, I mean, but the the the whole point of it is we have no clue what's going on, and that we could have been visited by aliens a long, long time ago.

SPEAKER_04 40:34

But here's the other thing that blows my mind all the time, too, is because I do a lot of research for like I do a lot of technological, like mini TED talks at work. Hold on, let me reset that. So um I

Chubby’s And Southern Kindness

SPEAKER_04 40:50

do a lot of like little mini tech talks at work. Like I call them TED Talks or whatever, but they're tech talks. And I do a lot of the history of technology, like little sound bites or whatever for culture activities. And it always blows my mind like how far back things existed, where you just like don't so uh the code for programming computers was written in like the 1840s, I think. Don't quote me on the exact year, but it was the 1800s, and that like it blows my mind. The code to program a computer existed before computers even technically exist.

SPEAKER_00 41:31

I mean, technically, I mean it goes back to even further than that because it's all the whole universe, which goes back to like simulation theory and stuff. So are these things some kind of watchers of a simulation or a harvest like Jupiter ascending? Why did the Wokowski brothers slash sisters have like two of the weirdest like mind fuck universe creation like things with like the Matrix?

SPEAKER_04 42:11

Right.

SPEAKER_00 42:12

They did the Matrix, and then Jupiter ascending is the same kind of where it's like they're like farming humans to whatever, like live longer forever, or whatever.

SPEAKER_04 42:24

Right.

SPEAKER_00 42:24

You know, basically the same thing. They're like using humans as like batteries per se, like the matrix kind of thing, and there's this like race of intergalactic beings, and you know what I mean, like everything keeps regenerating itself.

SPEAKER_04 42:37

If I'm a battery, as long as I don't know about it, who the fuck cares?

SPEAKER_00 42:40

Well, no, that's why I'm saying like if it is all a simulation, I'm not mad at it. It's no different than anything else. You don't know.

SPEAKER_04 42:48

Right. Like, who cares if it is a simulation, although whoever is fucking simulating my world needs to slip back extra money in there or something.

SPEAKER_00 42:57

Right. Can we enter some cheat codes?

SPEAKER_04 42:59

Right, right. Like you would think they put two of the smartest humans that I've ever met together. They teamed us up, right? If we're simulations, we're teamed up somehow. We have to be able to crack a code.

SPEAKER_00 43:14

What if it all was just like The Sims? And then the people that like won the lottery were people whose people that they put like a cheat code in to get money. And somebody's just watching their little thing.

SPEAKER_04 43:26

And they're like, oh, the Powerball numbers in your actual cheat code.

SPEAKER_00 43:32

Let's add a baby click.

SPEAKER_04 43:36

It's like life on steroids. I love that game.

SPEAKER_00 43:39

Oh, I loved life, dude. Me too. I loved life, and the thing was is we had like a half, we had like a half a life. You know what I mean? Like we had that, but we were missing some of the pieces.

SPEAKER_03 43:51

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 43:52

We had the spinner, but we were missing some human, you know, the little thing, sticky stuff.

SPEAKER_04 43:57

You stick in there.

SPEAKER_00 43:58

And uh probably missing some color. Cards. I don't know if there was cards involved, but I think there was. Every game we had growing up, this might be a good joke. Because like every game we had growing up was not complete.

SPEAKER_03 44:12

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00 44:13

Do you know what I mean? Like everything was not, you had to like improvise a little bit to make the game work.

SPEAKER_04 44:20

Like, for example Not in my house, I was a game.

SPEAKER_00 44:24

Oh no. In our house, we only we all our we had half of every game. We had some things. Half our books were missing. I had the Gremlins record set, four records, but I only had three of them. So I'd skip, right? So you'd miss the whole third part of the book that you would listen along to. You book on record.

SPEAKER_03 44:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 44:47

That's how old we're going back here. Now forget booklin tape or booklin' CD or Audible. Any of that. No, we're talking book on record. Book on 45, actually.

SPEAKER_04 45:00

My favorite was um uh it was Carol King singing chicken once, chicken twice, chicken chicken, chicken, chicken. I had super rose.

SPEAKER_00 45:14

I had the Gremlins book on record. I had uh a Sesame Street one. I had uh I also had a Muppets one that I was missing every one except for the first one.

SPEAKER_04 45:30

I can remember hearing the books on record, but I don't remember which ones they were. Like I remember listening to them, but I have no clue. Your memory is way better than mine is for the last year.

SPEAKER_00 45:39

We bought a lot of stuff back to the incomplete game. We bought a lot of stuff at Yard Station.

SPEAKER_04 45:44

I know.

SPEAKER_00 45:44

I wasn't even gonna say, well, it's missing a couple of pieces, and that's why we had like, like I said, half of every game.

SPEAKER_04 45:51

I was not gonna bring that up.

SPEAKER_00 45:53

Shoots and ladders, we just had shoots.

SPEAKER_04 45:56

No ladders.

SPEAKER_00 45:57

Our hippos weren't just one hungry, they weren't extra hungry. Uh actually, I think we probably only had we had probably three hippos and about four marbles.

SPEAKER_04 46:10

You were using boulder or stones from the driveway.

SPEAKER_00 46:13

We played sorry a lot, but it was different. It was just sorry, we ain't got all the pieces of this game. It's over.

SPEAKER_04 46:21

We like to play Connect 3 in their house.

SPEAKER_00 46:23

Yeah. We had it all. Um half every game, brother. Um God, I hated that too.

SPEAKER_04 46:34

No, I know.

SPEAKER_00 46:35

It was the it was the worst. Like, it was like, why are we even keeping these?

SPEAKER_04 46:40

Like, and I'm not like there were times where we had like we had like a playroom that turned into my parents' hoarding room with collecting the furniture. And I that thing, you couldn't even fucking walk through that room for

Alien Disclosures And UAP Theories

SPEAKER_04 46:55

all the shit that was all over the and I'm talking like just toys everywhere, books. Because you see, right, my dad, how he is now with the camera. Right. He was like that all the time, right? Like growing up. It was all it was about quantity, not quality.

SPEAKER_00 47:10

No, I should qualify this. That was at mom's house.

SPEAKER_04 47:14

Right.

SPEAKER_00 47:15

At dad's house, our games had all the pieces.

SPEAKER_04 47:17

Oh, for sure. Right.

SPEAKER_00 47:19

We wouldn't have been allowed to put them. I mean did the occasional one go lost? I'm sure.

SPEAKER_04 47:26

Right, absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 47:27

But we didn't have incomplete games.

SPEAKER_04 47:29

No.

SPEAKER_00 47:30

We used to play this game that I re D you ever played Payday?

SPEAKER_04 47:33

Yes. I loved Payday.

SPEAKER_00 47:35

Oh, I loved Payday. It was kind of like a quicker monopoly.

SPEAKER_04 47:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 47:39

Oh, way quicker.

SPEAKER_04 47:40

Way quicker.

SPEAKER_00 47:41

But it was like involved money and jobs and banking, like a little life, a little. But yeah, Payday was a good one.

SPEAKER_04 47:47

I mean, my favorite game though, well, I mean, it was a little older, but I was playing it younger, was um Trivial Pursuit.

SPEAKER_00 47:55

Yeah, I mean, of course I love it.

SPEAKER_04 47:57

Like you could like that's all I ever wanted.

SPEAKER_00 47:59

We had the cards. We didn't have we had the cards. I had no idea there was an actual game to it until I was about 17 years old. Because we just had the cards. We didn't have no board, no pieces. I didn't know there was a game to it. I was song as trivia. I was like, why like I didn't quite understand the color coding system and stuff and why it was like a little pie shit. I didn't understand any of that because we just had the cards.

SPEAKER_04 48:27

That's hilarious.

SPEAKER_00 48:28

We had like trivia pursuit for it was just a set of cards.

unknown 48:31

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00 48:32

But uh yeah, no, I love Trivia Pursuit. Um like I said, we just asked a lot of questions.

SPEAKER_04 48:41

Oh god, I loved it. That was I'm so competitive when it comes to trivia. Well, I used to be. I'm not that good at it anymore, but I used to be back in the day. But um, yeah, I uh But that's kind of the fun thing of about having a kid around is that we get to res resurrect every all of that shit. All of it, all of it. Games, books on tapes, our favorite movies.

SPEAKER_00 49:06

And I've already told you I'd like to sequence him through the order of time as he gets older. Like first start with Nintendo, and then just work your way up by an old system that introduced him slowly, because otherwise you'll never appreciate the old. If you go right to Xbox, you don't have any appreciation for what built came before. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04 49:32

Like, I'm not I'm not gonna.

SPEAKER_00 49:33

I'm gonna pretend like it's 1988. We're gonna watch old wrestling. I'm not even gonna show him the new stuff until he's older. We're gonna work our way up through Stone Cold to Rock, all of it, and then get eventually we'll get caught up when he's old enough. Old enough to handle it, the disappointment of wrestling as it progresses through the years. Just keep it in the glory days forever. Be like, this is happening now, bud.

SPEAKER_03 50:04

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00 50:05

They don't have cell phones in wrestling.

SPEAKER_04 50:10

That's hilarious. Like I there are probably people that are raising their kids like that, though.

SPEAKER_00 50:17

Oh, I'm sure. Look at the village and night shaman. That's what they were doing, basically. They're like, we're gonna create an alternate reality and follow a different timeline. That's all I want to do.

SPEAKER_04 50:35

Just with pop culture.

SPEAKER_00 50:37

Just with pop culture, though.

SPEAKER_04 50:39

You're gonna have to do it a decade.

SPEAKER_00 50:41

I'm not gonna allow them to watch any current television or be like chill them old commercials. Be like, we're headed off to get the Fraggle Rock toys at McDonald's. And I'll just buy some and stick them in there.

SPEAKER_03 50:53

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 50:55

You can probably buy the old boxes too, I bet you.

SPEAKER_04 50:58

Oh, I'm sure you can.

SPEAKER_00 50:59

Oh, I'm gonna have to look into this.

SPEAKER_04 51:01

Oh, Lord.

SPEAKER_00 51:02

Fraggle Rock McDonald's. That was my favorite, Fraggle Rock. I'm right. He probably liked Fraggle Rock. He liked Muppet things.

SPEAKER_04 51:10

Maybe.

SPEAKER_00 51:11

I bet he did. I bet he does. I bet he likes Fraggle Rock. That was my favorite.

SPEAKER_04 51:16

I loved it.

SPEAKER_00 51:17

They ate them sticks. I don't know what they were. They were eating them sticks.

SPEAKER_04 51:22

I don't remember. I don't I know the show, but I don't remember it that well.

SPEAKER_00 51:27

My favorite thing though was there was something. HBO used to have the best stuff. And when mom and dad were still together, we had HBO. And Dad had HBO for a while too, then after that, but um sometimes illegally. Um he had a box for a while for several years to get all the pay-per-views and all that stuff. Used to get a hax back in the day, back before jail broke fire sticks. There was jail broke scientific Atlanta boxes.

SPEAKER_04 52:01

Have you met my brother?

SPEAKER_00 52:02

Yeah, oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04 52:03

I've had all the all the jailbroke.

SPEAKER_00 52:07

Yeah, they were the best. I like that stuff. That was reliable. These things today were for shit.

SPEAKER_04 52:13

No, I know because like when so this would have been like 2000, he had a jailbroke uh box. Yeah, like Atlanta broadband or whatever it was back then. And holy shit, like that I I was pregnant with Dakota. That's what I did all the time. Well, that was 98 when I was pregnant with her about or 99. But that's all I did all the time was just watch movies because like I caught up on every movie that I hadn't seen.

SPEAKER_00 52:44

They remember they would just show the movies all day on the same movie on the show. Yeah. And I would you the like there'd be like a couple of movies, and you'd be like, or they might switch throughout the day, but there'd be like three or four that they would run.

SPEAKER_04 53:01

It's it just blows my mind, like the progression of technology. And I like, and obviously I'm thinking about it way more with the kid, because just again, like being able to have a car ride with an iPad probably saved us so much headache.

SPEAKER_00 53:17

I remember do you remember having to pay for pay-per-views? Yeah. Like ahead of time. Yeah. Like my dad would be, yeah, well, my or they would you would drop by the cable company and like pay them or whatever. Oh yeah. It's so crazy.

SPEAKER_04 53:32

Like it just things that you had to do back then that you always had our cable cut off because we would order pay-per-view when my parents weren't paying attention. Like, we were always getting the cable cut off because like me and my brother and my sister would just be like, fuck it, we're ordering pay-per-view tonight. It would be like Friday night, let's order it. My brother would call in and order wrestling all the time. My mom would get this bill and it'd be for like a hundred dollars more than what it was supposed to be.

SPEAKER_00 53:56

Pappy Fliggle had a satellite, one of those big giant satellites that he could get every channel on earth. And so he used to record all the like the wrestling things for me and stuff, where I'd go out there when they were on, and it was like they had a big screen. He had like the first ever big screen TV, too, that I ever seen.

SPEAKER_04 54:15

But it was still like a console. It's like brought to the city.

SPEAKER_00 54:18

Oh, it was humongous, it was probably it was a I know exactly.

SPEAKER_04 54:22

My grandfather had one.

SPEAKER_00 54:23

They were gigantic.

SPEAKER_04 54:24

And his like I call I don't know why I call it his golf room, because it wasn't. It was just like an old sun porch that they converted into an extra living room.

SPEAKER_00 54:33

Like a den. Yeah, and it had like that's what they called the back room, was the den. That's exactly the room. That was Paps' room. Paps need a den. Paps do need a den. Paps need a den. You ha if you have a pap, you gotta have a den.

SPEAKER_04 54:48

We have a den here now, but just because the house got rearranged for the Well, I'm saying when I'm a pap, I'll have a den. I'm sure you will.

SPEAKER_00 54:57

Because I'll have the living around. Also, Paps sometimes get a basement. Sometimes paps have a little because I seen that back when I used to clean the house.

SPEAKER_04 55:07

Like a tinker spot.

SPEAKER_00 55:09

No, that men would have like a spot down, it'd be in the basement, a television, and like a some things, and they would watch their shows down there. Yeah. Whatever it was. That one guy watched, he like watched nothing but like old reruns of bonanza. And then there was another guy that he w a college basketball. He just watched college basketball. He had snacks down there. He'd be like, hey Scotty, you want some gaming? No, he'd have like worders or oh yeah, we gotta bring it back around the aliens somehow. No, we did. I mean, we brought it back to the simulation theory and raising a kid, and that aliens are real and that they're gonna reveal themselves. They're probably demons. We're all going to hell. Uh whatever. Something like that. No, but um, yeah, but it's it's back to the alien thing. I can't wait to share that with him, too. Yeah, all my shows. The Bigfoot stuff, Skinwalker Ram. Because we're gonna take them to these fests, because you know

Um, because it doesn't really change our like the only thing that's changed probably outside of getting no sleep right now is our music. Because we're listening to Coco Melon and fucking Danny Go.

SPEAKER_00 57:01

Instead of Tyler Childers. Although I think Danny Goh is the Tyler Childers of the children's dance world.
