The Move

0:06Speaker 1:Bro, do you have a sandwich? No, that looks so good right now.

0:13Speaker 2:No, apparently the moose was handing out free sandwiches snow way. One of the perks of not remembering what happened last night. You wake up to a box full of sandwiches.

0:26Speaker 3:Well, let's welcome everybody back to the Dad's of Teens. We have gone through a lot in the last few weeks, month, months, maybe month and a half since the Live in General episode has.

0:43Speaker 1:Come out, and.

0:46Speaker 3:We are doing a new format now where we are remote because I moved to Reno.

0:55Speaker 2:Sure did just fucking left me hanging, just left me hanging.

1:07Speaker 3:Yeah, So I've moved, and I've got a lot to talk about with the move and the kids and the teens and what has happened in that situation, and.

1:20Speaker 1:It has a few things to talk about as well, as we are busy dads and we have teens, and it never.

1:26Speaker 4:Stops, It never stops. I mean, you were, you were on the go the entire time. Meanwhile, I'm just kind of living my life and doing everything with my teens and trying to help you get the fuck out of here.

1:39Speaker 1:Well why don't.

1:40Speaker 3:Yeah, And I appreciate all that help. Yeah, that's what you know, real dads of teens do.

1:47Speaker 2:Dad's helping dads.

1:49Speaker 3:Well, why don't you give us an update on what's going on with you and your teens and what's going on and then and then I'll just kind of finish it off with the story that you know, some people have to deal with with a.

2:04Speaker 1:With a long move. But first, let me just pour a little bit of this right here.

2:07Speaker 3:Okay, I didn't have anything planned, but Jay got ahead of me a little bit, and uh yeah, and so I have to do something drastic. And this is This is my wife's dad's whiskey that he makes an Arizona. It's small batch stuff, monsoon whiskey. He takes the monsoon water off the roof, grabs it, and then makes whiskey out of it.

2:36Speaker 2:Is that monsooner monsoof.

2:38Speaker 3:Yeah, it's a it's an AI generated you know, old man's AI generated label.

2:45Speaker 1:So don't pay any attention to that.

2:47Speaker 2:Oh okay, but it's monsoonky.

2:49Speaker 1:Yes, but it's a hunter proof So I'll catch up with you pretty quick.

2:52Speaker 4:Oh my god, you don't want to do that. You don't want to you want to get shot out of our cannon.

2:58Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly. See.

3:00Speaker 2:Oh my god, that looks so good. I'm trying to halfway recover. I should have got a hair of the dog.

3:07Speaker 1:So go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.

3:09Speaker 2:Cheers, Yeah, go ahead. So while you were doing your move, we were at the tail end of our sports.

3:19Speaker 4:My son's baseball team got invited to what was the regional tournament up in Kingsburg, California, which is about twenty miles south of Fresno, in late July. So that's always fun, and I mean luckily we got invited just because of how travel sports are working right now, and they needed teams to participate. So our sectional tournament we had two long teams from Long Beach, which.

3:52Speaker 2:I don't know how they got invited.

3:55Speaker 4:To a I mean, Long Beach isn't terribly far, but they do have a different region down there.

4:00Speaker 2:But we needed teams in.

4:02Speaker 4:Our area to play in the sectional tournament, so we did that, and technically, if you lose in that tournament, you don't go to the regionals. But because they still needed teams for the regional tournament, we got the invite to go play in Kingsburg, so technically we weren't supposed to be there, and I mean, long story short, we basically got our ass kicked and we ended up in a loser's bracket, played a team worse than us, and extended the tournament for another day, which was fine, but of course it's one hundred and five the entire week, and because you know, we weren't very good, we played at eight in the morning, which was fun.

4:43Speaker 2:I mean it was, you know, a.

4:44Speaker 4:Mile ninety four degrees at eight in the morning out there, so you know, it kind of worked out. And then we had the rest of the day to chill and go eat and hit up the river that's out there, King River. It's one hundred and five out there, but it was freezing ass cold water because it was you know, the runoff from the mountains.

5:05Speaker 2:It was fucking cold. It was crazy, yeah, but.

5:10Speaker 1:It was fun.

5:10Speaker 2:It was a lot of fun.

5:11Speaker 4:And then while we were up there, my daughter was in Huntington Beach for a week long tournament out there.

5:19Speaker 1:Oh geez.

5:20Speaker 2:Yeah, So I mean they.

5:21Speaker 4:Were driving back and forth and I was up there with my son, so we were dividing and conquering, and then then it all just came to a screeching halt because after that.

5:31Speaker 2:The past two weeks, we would have anything.

5:33Speaker 4:We don't have any sports, we don't have any activities. The wife and I've been trying to get our lives together while helping you get your life out of El Segundo.

5:43Speaker 1:Well, thank god there was no sports during that time.

5:45Speaker 4:Oh yeah, plenty of time to help you pack. And I guess on a side note with you know, we did a trash run for you. You know what, I mean, to get that stuff out of your house. I guess the secrets out because we just caught some people dumping stuff into our dumpster today. And yeah, this guy put up I guess the dishwasher came in a box or something.

6:09Speaker 2:He didn't even break up the box. The fucking asshole came.

6:12Speaker 4:Out here and just put the box in the dumpster, Like, hey, you fucking break at least break it down.

6:18Speaker 2:I didn't see him. My wife's from San Pedro. You figure she would say something and cuss the guy out, but she didn't do anything.

6:25Speaker 1:You know.

6:25Speaker 2:I came out there, I'm like, what the fuck is that box doing there? Oh, this guy just came and dropped it off. I'm like, did you cuss him out? Well, kind of my daughter's like, no, she didn't say anything. I'm like, all right, here we go.

6:38Speaker 4:So now I gotta I mean, trash days tomorrow. But I mean, come on, have a little common courtesy.

6:43Speaker 3:Well, you know, I mean, and just to update, I was taking a lot of trash when you move. You know, we lived in our house for fourteen years, and when we you know, started gathering everything together, we realized we had more trash than actual stuff to move.

7:03Speaker 2:So I had an actual stuff.

7:05Speaker 3:Yeah, so I had to I had to do a bunch of trash outs.

7:09Speaker 1:And you know, you have a choice.

7:11Speaker 3:You could either go and get a giant dumpster and spend an obscene amount of money on doing that, or you can go in small batches and you can take it around the neighborhoods and you could put a little bit in each dumpster all around, which is obviously illegal, but I'm admitting to it. And but I had the common courtesy to just do a little bit and each one not put too much in there. And I would break down a fucking box if you know, I had to put it in there.

7:35Speaker 2:It happens all the time.

7:36Speaker 4:I mean, you we live in the area we live in, it's all apartment buildings, so you're gonna get people that move out and leave their entire lives in that fucking dumpster. I mean cabinets and desks and beds and all kinds of stuff, you know, And it's it's cool to see someone's mattress out next to the dumpster, on the dumpster and you can see all the fun stuff that they did on that mattress.

8:03Speaker 2:Oh, you know, right there for you know, the whole neighborhood to see.

8:06Speaker 1:Yeah, and you know it happens.

8:09Speaker 4:But I mean to just show up and throw a goddamn box in there so where you can't put anything else in there, you know, you just gotta. I mean, it's trash, but don't be a don't be a degenerate trashy person.

8:22Speaker 1:Yeah exactly.

8:23Speaker 3:So everybody out there that's planning on doing that, breakdown your boxes please, Okay, yeah, come on, spend a second, a.

8:28Speaker 2:Little psa here, Come on, break down your boxes.

8:32Speaker 4:Yeah damn so so sports ended.

8:38Speaker 2:We've been just hanging out trying.

8:40Speaker 4:To, like I said, get our lives back together because our house looked like it got robbed since because we.

8:44Speaker 2:Were never home.

8:45Speaker 4:You know, we're in and out of this place like a flophouse, and so.

8:49Speaker 2:We got all that, uh, starting to get that stuff together.

8:51Speaker 4:But you know, school starts next week and my daughter is a senior now, so then we get into the fomo having more fomo that this never ending fomo you know.

9:04Speaker 1:Everything, what's that?

9:08Speaker 4:Oh yeah, big senioritis, fomo senior ititis, fomo. Fucking everything's super critical, end of the year, last this, last that candy that got do. This is my friends and I never see my friends again.

9:20Speaker 3:I'm like, oh my god, oh god, that's already starting. At least my daughter started like six months in.

9:26Speaker 2:Oh yeah, no, it's everything. Everything is the last time, the last everything, the first football game.

9:34Speaker 4:We're never gonna have another first football game again. I'm like, it doesn't even make any sense. You're gonna go to the last football game.

9:42Speaker 2:We're never gonna have. This is the last football game about everything is just so under the microscope and critical.

9:48Speaker 1:You know. Yeah, I've got to go.

9:50Speaker 4:To a concert with my friends because I'm never gonna see him again after we graduate, Like, are you serious? Yeah, you guys are gonna go to college, but you're gonna see him because everybody fucking comes back yeah, no matter where they go, they come back.

10:02Speaker 1:Yeah.

10:03Speaker 2:Else a gun knows that place where you know, we live by the beach.

10:05Speaker 1:It's you know, la going to there's going to be the last time to the beach.

10:10Speaker 2:Oh yeah, the beach is going to be gone once.

10:13Speaker 3:My daughter had I think about fourteen last time at the beach.

10:22Speaker 4:Yeah, that's yeah, and I you know, the beach may be gone after she gets back from her first semester of college, you know. Yeah, yeah, so, uh so we're doing that. So we're supposed to go to a softball camp the twenty second, and luckily we got to rescheduled. But before we had a rescheduled, my daughter wanted to go to that football game.

10:47Speaker 2:It's the first one. It's good, it's the first last football game they will never see again. Yeah, there's twelve games on the schedule. I'm sure you can, you know, get to one of those. It's a home game, homecoming, all that shit. And so she was not gonna She was contemplating on whether or not she's gonna go to this camp because of this stupid fucking high school football game. And I you know, I get it. She's totally into school. She's totally into these sports.

11:16Speaker 4:They have these charing section where they dress up. You know, it's a thing for them, you know. But at the same time, we're invested in this in school and playing softball and trying to make this happen. And it's gonna happen. But still you have you have, you know, priorities, you know, obligations to make this this camp happen. So she's you know, well, I don't think I'm gonna go to that camp and I go for a football game. Then you're gonna go to the football game, stay out till one in the morning, and then I'm gonna get your ass up at five in the morning, and we're gonna drive to Vegas and you're gonna go to this fucking camp and you're gonna suck because you were tired of the entire time because you could not miss this football game.

11:54Speaker 1:So isn't there like six football games?

11:57Speaker 2:There's twelve, Yeah, twelve games.

11:59Speaker 1:Home game, home game.

12:01Speaker 2:Home games. Oh yeah, there's six six home games.

12:03Speaker 3:Yeah, So what's the significance of this one? Is it like homecoming or something?

12:07Speaker 4:It's the the first one is homecoming?

12:11Speaker 2:I think, no, no, no, no, it's not. It's not No, it's like the third game is homecoming, So it's just.

12:19Speaker 1:The last first game exactly. That's what it is.

12:22Speaker 2:That's exactly what is the last first game?

12:24Speaker 4:Okay, okay, well you pick one because I'm telling you you're not going to that football game.

12:30Speaker 2:You're gonna go. You're gonna get ready, you're gonna get prepared, and we're.

12:33Speaker 4:Gonna go to that that softball camp so the coaches can see you, and you're gonna go out there and you're gonna you're gonna kick ass.

12:39Speaker 1:You're gonna start thinking like a college player.

12:42Speaker 2:Exactly, college player, college student, athlete, the whole nine.

12:46Speaker 1:You know.

12:47Speaker 2:So that turned into a week long argument, you know everything. You know, I'm like, everything turned to that football game. What what's going on? Well, I don't know.

12:56Speaker 4:I don't know what's gonna happen because I can't go to this football game. Uh and in three weeks and I'm like, what do you what are you talking about?

13:03Speaker 1:You know?

13:03Speaker 2:Can you pass the salt? I would, but I can't go to a football game. It's everything is like, turn to this football game.

13:10Speaker 1:You just shut up? You know what.

13:13Speaker 2:She finally caved in, Well, she was gonna do it. She said, fine, I won't go to the football game.

13:19Speaker 4:And then we argued about that for a couple of days, and yeah, everything is a couple of days. You know, every argument is a couple of days, especially you know, having a daughter.

13:32Speaker 2:So she says, okay, fine, not going to the football game. We'll go to the camp.

13:36Speaker 1:Okay.

13:37Speaker 4:So then things happen and I got my nephew coming into town that Sunday, and.

13:44Speaker 2:My wife she runs or is a.

13:48Speaker 4:Big part of the art walk here in town, which you're missing. Damn, you're leaving me to do that by myself again. So I mean, yeah, well I it was only doing that with you, but that's not going to be any fun. So you know, you got to have a partner in crime to do that stuff with. And you do it on your own, now you're a weirdo. So the wife is part of that art walk, and she had all these great ideas that they're using, and she was, you know, kind of bummed that she's not going to be able to do that because.

14:18Speaker 1:Of this camp.

14:19Speaker 4:So we moved some things around. We're not going to the camp, she's going to the football game. We're going to the art walk. And then my nephew gets into town, which I was arguing, not arguing, We're just trying to work something out because my brother was the one that my brother's not talking to me because of what happened last Thanksgiving. So he gets his he gets his son, my nephew, to suggest that he comes down to LA for the week and hangs out, which is fine. You know, he's eighteen, graduated high school and I've never had a problem with that, but you know, I have to talk to my brother through my nephew, which is totally mature, totally you know, not petty at all, just total grown up conversation.

15:01Speaker 2:Fucking asshole.

15:02Speaker 4:So we got a scheduled and set up and we were going to be gone. He's flying in that Sunday, but he doesn't get in untill nine thirty, but we were going to stay in Vegas till Monday. So I'm like, well, this kid's eighteen. He's flying into a First of all, he's flying into a fucking fire and Lax at the same time, Lax is a fucking shit show, you know. And she's like, well, he could just find the uber, you know, he can just get an uber go over to the right chair. I'm like, really, he will fucking end up in Inglewood before he fucking finds the Uber ride share area, you know, at LAX.

15:37Speaker 2:And I was kind of concerned about that. I'm sure.

15:39Speaker 3:Well, And also when you're in Alsagundo residence. There's a lot of people don't understand too that when you're an ol Sagundo resident, you're automatically obligated to pick people up at the airport because you live right next door, even though it could take up to forty five minutes to get that person from something that's two miles away.

15:56Speaker 1:Yeah, you know exactly you are.

15:59Speaker 3:You are the designate a pickup. Like if you tell someone to take an Uber and you live it else, like, I know, you're a.

16:04Speaker 2:Dick pretty much, You're pretty much an ass. And so that's the whole thing. And you know, I love my nephew, he's a good kid. I want to be there to pick him up.

16:12Speaker 4:I was just concerned about navigating Lax at the moment. I mean, yeah, you could easily end up in a bad neighborhood just trying to find the Uber.

16:22Speaker 1:In l A X in Inglewood or something.

16:24Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, Inglewood or so anyway that you know, everything just kind of fucking came to a.

16:31Speaker 4:Head with with scheduling, logistics and family coming in and all that stuff.

16:36Speaker 5:So so, uh, the camp got pushed to push to September, the end of September, which hopefully it's not as hot, because I mean, we're going to go there next week and it's still triple digits.

16:51Speaker 2:You're hoping it's not triple digits. It's still going to be nineties.

16:58Speaker 4:But the camp, Yeah, that that camp would be it's only that day.

17:01Speaker 2:It's fucking four hours and it's it's in the middle of the day. So hopefully it's not gonna be too hot in September.

17:08Speaker 1:Yeah. The silver lining is not is not being in that fucking heat.

17:12Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, exactly. So so we got that going on. The daughter, she's signing up or she's applying.

17:21Speaker 4:She still has to apply, but the process isn't as difficult because she's in sports.

17:26Speaker 2:She's already committed, accepted.

17:28Speaker 4:And then we have our first official visit the first weekend of October.

17:33Speaker 1:Wow.

17:33Speaker 2:Wow. Yeah, they pay for everything.

17:36Speaker 4:They're gonna pay for the flight, they're gonna take us at football games, they're gonna, you know, show us around, They're.

17:41Speaker 2:Gonna play at the hotel.

17:42Speaker 4:Yeah, it's gonna be it's gonna be a lot of fun, a lot of fun. The only person that's ruined that ruining that is my son.

17:49Speaker 3:So do they now do they give you like a thousand bucks for the tables like first night?

17:56Speaker 1:Uh? You know what I should have been negotiated told them.

18:00Speaker 4:I told them most my daughter is not going to go to that school if we do not get that uh that per diem yeah, craps table, per dium.

18:09Speaker 1:Line of credit, you know, yeah, line of credit.

18:11Speaker 2:Yeah, we're staying at Caesar's Palace.

18:15Speaker 1:Where do they put you up to? Yeah? Yeah, they're putting you up you know.

18:20Speaker 2:Probably like the fucking Golden Nugget or something.

18:23Speaker 1:You know.

18:24Speaker 2:It's it's un LV, it's it's a D one school. It's U and LV. But I mean doesn't mean that they're not cheap.

18:30Speaker 4:I mean we're going to that camp and we still have to pay for the camp. Yeah, and the camp is a hundred bucks, which isn't terrible. I guess I'm bad, right for one hundred bucks or four hours?

18:39Speaker 2:Cash only? Can you believe that ship? Cash only?

18:45Speaker 1:So? Yeah?

18:47Speaker 2:Cash only?

18:48Speaker 1:So how do you do that you got to just bring it with you and.

18:51Speaker 2:Bring they got to carry this heavy ass hundred dollars bail in there and hand it over to them.

18:57Speaker 4:I think it goes it goes towards the air, it is hand that over. I think it goes towards the girls because a lot of the girls help out with the camp, and there's you know, there's going to be like fucking fifty girls there. You know, maybe a little bit less, but you know, they want to see her. The camp is actually mandatory before they actually get to school. So we'll do that in September and then the visit and then the camp, and then she's in flag football so that starts, and then softball's a spring sport.

19:30Speaker 1:So there's that. Didn't they win flag football last year?

19:35Speaker 2:No?

19:36Speaker 1:No, they the.

19:37Speaker 2:Flag football team isn't. Oh okay, isn't very good.

19:41Speaker 4:And turns out my daughter is losing her starting quarterback job position.

19:49Speaker 2:To a sophomore that plays fucking club flag football.

19:54Speaker 1:Oh love flag football club?

19:58Speaker 2:Yeah, travel club whatever that.

20:01Speaker 3:Yeah, who would have ever thought that that would have been a thing when we were ground up.

20:05Speaker 2:It's a fucking thing, dude. Yeah, it's a it's a big thing. Actually, so.

20:12Speaker 3:Well, the Girls Baseball League professional baseball league just started like a couple of weeks ago, So I mean, you know, I guess there's got to be a professional flag football league coming.

20:23Speaker 1:Yeah.

20:23Speaker 2:Well, yeah that even the colleges, some of the schools have started men's and women's flag football.

20:31Speaker 4:Uh, you know, it's just another money generator. I would imagine, you know, some some kids that didn't make the football team will play flag football and then the girls flag football's taken off.

20:41Speaker 3:Anyway, we had talked about like the professional you know, baseball or softball careers for women. Uh, and we had we had said, like because remember we were talking about that little league player that just kept playing baseball the whole time, and like where's the future in that and stuff? Here we are, there is a future now for that. Yeah, what do you think women's baseball league?

21:11Speaker 2:Yeah?

21:12Speaker 4:Yeah, the I didn't really think there was that many girls that played baseball, you know, because there isn't like there isn't girls baseball or travel baseball.

21:23Speaker 1:Yeah.

21:23Speaker 3:Well is it just them transitioning from softball and just playing in the baseball league.

21:29Speaker 1:Yeah, it's got to be what it is, right, Yeah, Yeah.

21:33Speaker 4:I mean, it's it's very similar. I don't I think the field is a regular baseball field though, I mean, is it?

21:43Speaker 1:Yeah?

21:43Speaker 4:Sixty sixty ninety sixty feet for pitching and excuse me.

21:49Speaker 1:I'm to look. Field's gotta be shorter though, right, yeah, yeah, it has to be.

21:54Speaker 2:Actually, I have to I have to check into that.

21:56Speaker 1:I mean, yeah, that's probably a good thing to know.

21:59Speaker 4:Yeah, yes, I need more vast useless knowledge, need more, need more of that.

22:06Speaker 1:Ship.

22:07Speaker 2:Then the boy, my son, we finished baseball, and he's just been a total screenager with the phone, I mean, and then he was giving me ship.

22:16Speaker 4:About his his e bike, right because that the remoter broke whatever. And I finally found the manufacturer and that was a lot easier.

22:25Speaker 2:So I got a new one.

22:25Speaker 4:I got it fixed, and uh, I told him.

22:30Speaker 2:Got it fixed. He started riding it, and I said, don't come home out of the way. I go go and ride and I don't want to. I don't even want to see you come back late tonight. I don't care if I my bed.

22:42Speaker 1:But until the bike breaks again.

22:43Speaker 4:Till the bike breaks again, you know, I don't want to hear you or see you until one of those two things happened, you know, breaks, dies, lights come on, lights come on, whatever, because he's get you know, because he wouldn't leave the house. You know, your son, you know, hitched him for reno, so you know, he doesn't he doesn't have he has buddies. They don't communicate as much. And his other buddy has been sick and then, uh, that same buddy has a cousin that has has cancer, so it's it goes into remission and then doesn't, so they spend a lot of time with him whatever. So he's basically just been in the house being a he's of crap. So my son's been pretty much hanging out at home trying to get him out. So I fixed the bike and he's been riding it. But doesn't every other kid's out on vacation or riding the rent are gone.

23:41Speaker 1:I don't, I don't know.

23:42Speaker 4:It's only been two weeks, but he's been in the house the entire time, just about. For one because of that e bike but I fixed that, and two.

23:52Speaker 2:There's nothing to do.

23:54Speaker 4:We live on the beach, but there's nothing to do. Yeah, you know, he's not he's not trying hard enough. That's basically in a nutshell, nothing too crazy, I mean, other than whatever drama the oh my daughter. We did meet my daughter's boyfriend last Thursday.

24:12Speaker 1:Oh yeah, PV boy.

24:14Speaker 4:Yeah, the PV boy been trying to schedule that whole thing, and uh, she didn't want me to meet him for some reason.

24:23Speaker 2:I don't what are you talking about.

24:25Speaker 4:Well, you're just gonna be mean and you're gonna say stupid dad jokes.

24:28Speaker 2:I'm like, that's part of the deal. That's part of the deal. You're not going to get away from that.

24:33Speaker 3:And if the kid isn't expecting that, then he's a.

24:36Speaker 1:Dick pretty much. Yeah.

24:39Speaker 4:So it turns out he's from TV. We went to the local Slice and Pine had some pizza, and he goes to TV high school. It seems like a mellow kid. He plays baseball. You know, he's not he's not the biggest kid. So you know, there's a lot of baseball kids that are just straight assholes. They're just you know, can seated little dix, you know, but he seemed pretty mellow.

25:03Speaker 1:I don't know driving. Yes, what was he driving? Oh? Oh?

25:08Speaker 2:Uh? Was he driving an escalade? He's using his parents escalate like.

25:14Speaker 3:The old escalade or like they have like a like a brand new one and then he's just borrowing that.

25:22Speaker 2:I think it's it's an older one. It's I saw it in passing.

25:25Speaker 4:I'm not exactly oh sure, but I know it's an escalator, but it doesn't look like the new new ones. Yeah, so it's not that big of a fucking fuck you apartment people, you know.

25:37Speaker 1:Yeah, you got to hand down your escalade, you know.

25:41Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, uh so. I mean he seems pretty mellow. I don't know if being Jewish has anything to do with it, but I guess he's like a non practicing Jew. So he eats cheeseburgers.

25:53Speaker 1:Okay, and doesn't wear yamica.

25:56Speaker 2:Doesn't wear yamica. I don't think he could with that hairstyle that he has.

26:01Speaker 1:Yeah, kids have the problem wearing yamkas. Yeah.

26:05Speaker 4:The damn puffy Oh yeah, it's gotta it's gotta puff up and stick out this way.

26:13Speaker 2:But I mean, he's he's taken all ap classes.

26:15Speaker 4:He's you know, and he hasn't really applied to college yet, but he's trying.

26:20Speaker 2:To go to UC San Diego. Just typical.

26:24Speaker 4:I don't know, he's he's it seems like a smart kid and typical senior high school things.

26:28Speaker 1:So I don't know.

26:30Speaker 2:Yeah, so he's he's very polite actually, you know, stood up, shook my hand, you know, respectful, you know that. So that worked out and then and then that was pretty much it.

26:42Speaker 4:I mean, they went to a concert last night to go see this.

26:46Speaker 2:This hip hop artist that is just straight. I mean it's trash. I mean, we the the hip hop that we grew up listening to, and then you know, transitioning into the two thousands, you know, it's pretty decent, but the last ten years of hip hop, fifteen years has just been just absolute junk, trash, fucking nonsense. So they went to.

27:08Speaker 4:See one of these artists that I listened to. This kid, my son actually likes it, and I'm like, you're paying to go see this guy.

27:17Speaker 1:Where was it?

27:18Speaker 2:It was an Into It Dome.

27:21Speaker 3:Oh so it was in Inglewood, Yes, yeah, yeah, nice good crowd there.

27:26Speaker 1:Oh yeah yeah. I mean a lot of white kids.

27:28Speaker 4:Just don't cross the Yeah, just don't cross the street from Into It Dome. You know, park in the structure, take the bridge and stay over there. You cross the street, you could you could die. That's how it goes over there. So Uh, they went to see this guy named Yeat and.

27:47Speaker 1:That's funny.

27:50Speaker 4:Let's let's look up this guy and see how crappy he really is. So when I type in his name, it's y e A T was his name, right, is his name? And all that came up was yeast anything they had to do with cooking bread. It's like, see, this guy's not even relevant enough to be in Google. His name's fucking Yeat and he's he's Mexican and Croatian or something Croatian, Czechoslovakian something weird.

28:19Speaker 1:Yeah that's interesting.

28:20Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, it's a it's a it's a kooky ass mix.

28:26Speaker 3:But uh but anyway, have her home in a decent hour.

28:32Speaker 2:Yeah, there's you know, they want to spend time together. It's stupid.

28:35Speaker 4:So he came and got her from PV, took her back to PV so they can get ready together and do their little snapchat thing. Then they ubered to into it.

28:47Speaker 3:Wait wait wait wait yeah we went to PV and then ubered from PV.

28:54Speaker 4:Yes what Yeah, dude, I went. I went through the entire scenario.

29:00Speaker 2:I'm like, it's ten minutes from our house with traffic.

29:03Speaker 1:That doesn't make any sense. Once away.

29:05Speaker 4:They just didn't want us to give them a ride. You know, they didn't get a ride from the parents at all. So okay, yeah, so it doesn't end there.

29:13Speaker 1:It's like a hundred dollars uber ride.

29:15Speaker 4:Yeah, well guess when you live in PV estates you can afford a one hundred dollars uber ride.

29:21Speaker 1:That's crazy.

29:23Speaker 4:Yeah, So they go to PV get ready, take an uber to the show, and then they were going to take an uber back to PV and then we would have to go to PV to get my daughter.

29:34Speaker 1:Oh hell no, that's right, that's exactly what happened.

29:38Speaker 4:So yeah, so I think my wife caved in and went to PV and got it.

29:46Speaker 1:Of course she did, of course she did.

29:49Speaker 3:And for the for the listeners that don't know, El segundo to into a dome is you know, with traffic for a concert, you're looking maybe ten fifteen minutes. Yeah, it's something like that. If there was no traffic, it would take like seven minutes to get there, right, But from Palace Party's Estates to into a dome that's twenty mile maybe five minutes forty five minutes to an hour drive with the traffic all that and that's just a nightmare uber ride.

30:21Speaker 2:Yeah, because I mean PV is not near a freeway.

30:23Speaker 3:Also nothing, Yeah you got to go through all the streets you got to go through. Yeah, it makes no sense whatsoever.

30:29Speaker 2:Yeah, well, you know they're teenagers.

30:31Speaker 1:Teenage.

30:31Speaker 3:Now I questioned the kid, Yeah, yeah, you were doing good, buddy, But now I questioned your.

30:37Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah you had me at AP classes. But now you geographically you're an idiot.

30:45Speaker 4:So so they did that and then and he's eighteen. So that's the other thing we got going on here, because yeah, so and you know what parents have done for years and years and years is they hold the boys back so they they grow and then when they get into sports, so they tend to be older in a younger grade, you know.

31:11Speaker 2:But obviously this kid is not very big.

31:15Speaker 4:But at the same time, it's just kind of the deal with parents and boys in sports, Like we didn't obviously we didn't do that with our son, but our kids are on the young end of their their grades, their perspective grades. So my daughter is going to be seventeen here at the end of the month, and then he's already eighteen, so you know, it's close they're in high school. There's a bit of a gray area there, which is fine. He's not a total douche, so you know, try to try to not think about the age thing.

31:55Speaker 3:Well, you know, it's one of those things where it's like you, I totally understand everything that's good going on.

32:00Speaker 1:The age difference is right there.

32:02Speaker 3:But if you do anything wrong, I will pull the statutory card. You fall help, Yeah, like, if you try and uber from TV again, I will pull a statutory card.

32:17Speaker 4:We're like, you're falsely accusing this kid of statutory rape.

32:20Speaker 2:But well, yeah, because he took.

32:21Speaker 1:An uber from PV, like the opposite side of the hill, dude doing I'm not.

32:29Speaker 4:Putting up with that ship no fuck. So, uh that's that's just been what's been going on in the nut in the nutshell, nothing too crazy yet, but we're getting we're you've already been through it, but uh we're getting into homecoming. I'm float building again. I'm stuck doing that for the next fucking five years because yep, when my daughter graduates, my son comes in. So I'm gonna be a professional fucking floatbuilder after this year.

32:59Speaker 1:Dude, Rose right is Colin.

33:03Speaker 4:I'm in show my resume. Here's my five Nights of Freddy. This had a trapdoor. Uh, don't mind the painting that was by a freshman, you know, woman, get you know, to be better, to be better. And then yeah, we're getting into homecoming, homecoming floats, the football games. Uh, my daughter's flag football, and just try to try to uh end the senior year on a good note with the GPA and get her off to college.

33:31Speaker 3:Well, it's it's only the beginning of your senior year, and we're gonna we're gonna try and get you know, as many episodes as we can, you know, weekly or at least bi weekly, so you can hear what's next on the senior year.

33:47Speaker 1:But what do you say we take a.

33:50Speaker 3:Break and then when we come back, I will talk about the fucking move on pa, if you will. Yeah, I'm gonna try and like rag my brain right now, just trying to go through the steps in my head right now, trying to relive it.

34:06Speaker 1:But let's take a quick break and we'll be right back with the move right, Let's do it all right, and we're back.

34:15Speaker 2:We're so back.

34:16Speaker 1:Yeah.

34:17Speaker 3:Jay had to run down the street and get himself a beer because he was feeling left out. I gotta take a sip, take a deep breath for this one.

34:27Speaker 2:Oh oh, that's why I had to get a beer. Yeah maybe no, it was I was a part of it. I gotta have a beer.

34:34Speaker 1:To hear this.

34:35Speaker 6:Look at look at this kid's kids trash are hungry.

34:45Speaker 4:Oh because you've been sneaking fucking candy bars.

34:49Speaker 2:Oh goddamn day.

34:51Speaker 1:But they're protein bars.

34:54Speaker 3:My son has been trying to get me to buy him protein shakes at Costco every time we go there.

34:58Speaker 1:He won't shut up a protein shake. I might just eat some chicken. Man.

35:03Speaker 2:Yeah, how about eating food? About eating food?

35:06Speaker 3:Eating protein? Like, I'm like nuts, no meat? You know, real protein? Mm hmm.

35:14Speaker 1:He's think it's good for you.

35:16Speaker 2:Not the same gud the protein hold on. Oh yeah, go ahead, Citra my dog. But I got a crack of beer for this story.

35:29Speaker 1:This is gonna be good. Where is the real Citra?

35:32Speaker 2:Oh she's downstairs.

35:33Speaker 1:I heard her barking the whole time you were gone.

35:36Speaker 2:Oh really, yeah, pretty good microphone. Yeah she's been fucking escaped today.

35:45Speaker 1:Oh my god. So I get up. I take my wife.

35:51Speaker 4:And my daughter and their friend to the Chargers camp. Come back home, jump in the shower. I'm watching the friend's dog as well. I jump in the shower. I get a call the dogs escaped because I left the door open and they got out of the gate. Okay, I go down get the dogs back. Luckily it's the sky now. He lives down the street. And then they said they'll be back by noon. You I gotta go back and pick them up by noon, So get the dogs back. Then I run down to the beach. While I'm down at the beach, my phone dies. They've been trying to get and get a hold of me for.

36:22Speaker 2:The past hour. I thought I had another hour to kill, so I went down to the beach, went for a swim, come back up and I charge my phone, and then getting these texts that pop up.

36:30Speaker 1:Where are you?

36:30Speaker 2:Where are you? What's going on? What the hell? Sunday's turned out to be fucking wacko, and you know, hung over the entire time, so it's not making anything any easier.

36:42Speaker 1:Well, a little plunge into the ocean probably helped a little bit.

36:46Speaker 4:Oh, I've been trying to do that every day after work. Just walk down there, jump in the ocean, and walk back up. I gotta I gotta turn a new leaf for something, man, because uh, you know, hitting fifty, you know, it's uh, that's over the hill, that's for sure.

37:02Speaker 2:Starting to feel it.

37:04Speaker 4:Plus plus with my job, I actually had to get my hands on the tools, and I'm out of shape, you know, so anywhay.

37:12Speaker 1:It's very hard to keep in shape after fifty. Yeah.

37:15Speaker 4:Yeah, just trying to do anything, I'm like, wow, maybe I'll lift weights. I fucking I get tired of thinking about lifting weights, so I don't even lift weights anymore.

37:23Speaker 3:So I'll tell you what I do, Okay, I do. I do thirty push ups, thirty sit ups.

37:33Speaker 1:Wow, and then a minute of planking once a month right there?

37:43Speaker 2:That is arduous. How do you even get through that?

37:46Speaker 1:Dude?

37:47Speaker 3:I mean, I'm telling you, I do it, and then my whole body gets sore the next day, and then I don't pick it back up again.

37:53Speaker 1:I feel better.

37:56Speaker 3:I keep telling myself once, you know, every two days, you know, maybe every other day.

38:03Speaker 1:Yeah, but it turns out to me once a month. Yeah.

38:05Speaker 4:I was freaking out about having to play softball three days this past week.

38:09Speaker 2:But one game got canceled, so I was kind of happy about that. So anyway, we're up here in this move man, I want to hear. I want to hear.

38:17Speaker 1:I want to hear.

38:18Speaker 3:We're up here in the clean air, you know now, So I have no excuse. You know, I moved away from, you know, the toxic trifecta.

38:27Speaker 1:Of El Segundo.

38:28Speaker 3:I mean, I'm not knocking El Segundo as far as you know, it being my home for the past twenty years or so.

38:36Speaker 2:Well, and the entire South Bay too, I mean your whole entire life.

38:40Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean I really liked Elsea Gundo. Else a gun is a good a good town. It's changed a lot. And but you know, I just started You and I both just started hearing about you know, people getting sick and you just look around there. I even punched it into ai. I'll I'll put this up on the on the social media, you know, the little thing I did. But I punched up you know, statistics of you know.

39:05Speaker 1:Chemical.

39:07Speaker 3:Pollution around El Segundo to make a graphic out of it. And it came up with this like graphic that was like just super scary, you know.

39:17Speaker 1:Yeah.

39:17Speaker 4:Yeah, And I mean you've got the hyperium plant that what was that two or three years ago that we had that rain and things got backed up and the thing overflowed and it overflowed in the ocean, and then it smelled like you know, it stinks you know every few days out here anyway, but the constant smell of what that accident was was just God, it was so bad.

39:42Speaker 3:It made you want to go jump in and do it. Swim after work every day?

39:46Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, I mean it's it's it's two or three years removed, you know. And that extra tow that I've grown does help me swim, it does?

39:54Speaker 1:It does? Yeah, well, And the webbing that's between the toes.

39:58Speaker 2:Yeah, you know it's beneficial. We've got cancer. I've got cancer. But I'm a great swimmer now.

40:05Speaker 1:Yeah. And you're a lot sleeker now that your dick fell off.

40:12Speaker 2:I wasn't necessarily going for time, but trying to break any records.

40:17Speaker 3:I mean, yeah, I would still like to keep the dick, so, I mean, so there was a there was a few factors obviously that that came into play for moving. I didn't necessarily want to move, but my parents were getting older. They live up here in Reno. They moved up here a couple of years ago. They've been in Palas Verdi's TV that we talked about for the past, you know, fifty years, and they kind of uprooted came up here to move closer to my sister. Because my sister's single.

40:46Speaker 3:She's kind of the one that could take care of, you know, the old folks when it happens and stuff and when they get too old and everything. So there was that. There was my my son likes to snowboard. There was kind of the toxic part of Elsagundo that we kind of wanted to get away from. But we didn't really know if we wanted to because the way of life is, you know, it's really nice and you know, we had had friends there and stuff. But then the deciding factor was our landlord. We were renting, and our landlord that him and his family own a few properties and they were kind of consolidating and he's like, we gotta you know, we're gonna we're gonna do something with the house. So that was the deciding factor. You know, it was kind of quick, a few months and we put everything together. So our advice to people right now is if you're gonna move, you know, if you're thinking of moving, start going through stuff right away, especially you've.

41:44Speaker 4:Been in your place for as long as you have, trying to well, the other thing is everything's behind and under and trying to you know, sort through everything that you already kind of have you know, packed away or you haven't seen. But yeah, I mean, yeah, start going through it now or as as you know you're gonna move, trying to get rid all that shit, because.

42:07Speaker 3:It's to move like across town or like just the next town over or something. But this was kind of a long move, so we didn't know what we were going to do as far as moving that, whether we were going to get a U haul, whether we're going to get one.

42:19Speaker 1:Of those pods or stuff like that.

42:21Speaker 3:You know, you kind of got to compare all the prices and all that stuff. We ended up going with with one of those pod companies, and it was really convenient because you know, they can come and they just drop off the pod and you can gradually kind of move stuff out into it. So we got the pod a month before we were going to actually move, and we didn't even have a set date we were going to move, so we can kind of gradually just put stuff in there and go through stuff and get it.

42:48Speaker 3:It's really great, you know, and worth whatever money you're going to spend on that kind of a thing. But like we were talking about, we had so much trash, you know, and we were trying to console it as well. We were trying to, you know, just what's necessary to take. We didn't have much furniture because we got a puppy just before we ended up leaving, and he chewed up everything.

43:12Speaker 1:Yeah, the sister of the brother.

43:14Speaker 3:Of your puppy year and yeah, and so there goes the couch. We don't need to take that anymore. That's great. Uh, you know, some of the betting doesn't need to go. All the pillows don't need to go.

43:25Speaker 2:Well, on that note, is what.

43:28Speaker 4:It's been two weeks, almost three weeks removed from you guys moving, and I'm I'm hearing about the stuff that you left behind, the tragedy. Yeah, I'm hearing that because you know, I talked to your landlord, and then the landlord talks to that local your your best your favorite local realtor guy. So I played softball with him on Wednesday, and then he's here, you know, he's hearing about it.

43:55Speaker 1:He h.

43:55Speaker 2:He brought it up and I was like, we did our best man. I helped him out. What are you gonna do? He's been there for twenty years?

44:02Speaker 1:What does he say? What does he said?

44:04Speaker 2:Oh?

44:06Speaker 4:Because typically on the surface, if you hear about a tenant that moves out and they leave a bunch of shit, and you're like, look that fucking prick he left left all this shit.

44:16Speaker 2:He left a bed of both.

44:18Speaker 4:The raptors, you know, and uh and uh basically like not necessarily talking shit, but kind of talking shit like, oh, if.

44:28Speaker 2:You moved out, he left all this stuff for this guy to get rid of and all this other shit. And I'm like, well, the guy said he was okay with it, and then Kevin said he that's what he was gonna do. So it's not like a surprise. And two I helped him get rid of but I took what two truckloads truckloads of trash.

44:45Speaker 3:You know, So I mean, okay, And it wasn't necessarily trash. It was just stuff that we decided to trash, you know. Yes, like we're not hoarders, Like we don't want the listeners to think that we're just hoarders. And we had a bunch of trash that we were throwing. We just decided to throw stuff at out because we didn't need it and we wanted to just you know, move with minimum amount of stuff, you know.

45:06Speaker 2:Yeah, and they're there now.

45:08Speaker 4:The owner has workers, construction guys there now basically putting lipstick on the pig and.

45:14Speaker 2:You know they're tree trimming and all that other shit. So they were eventually are trashing stuff out themselves. So stay what you will.

45:23Speaker 3:Well, and that's what that's what it deposits for. I forgot about that bed up there though, I totally forgot about until just down.

45:30Speaker 1:Yeah. I mean it was just the headboard and the foot of the bed. That's all it was.

45:34Speaker 3:Was.

45:36Speaker 2:I didn't even see it either, So I don't know what you left up there.

45:39Speaker 1:That's all it was.

45:40Speaker 3:It's up there. But we left some other things too, but you know, we had to get out.

45:44Speaker 1:We were we were done.

45:45Speaker 3:So yeah, it's fine, and it was it was a pain in the ass. And you know, last time I was lifting stuff like that, my back went out, and so I was hoping that would never happen. And I last time I moved, I said I was never gonna move again because moving is such a freaking pain in the ass and then you know, getting up here. Within like the first two days, my back went out after doing all that stuff. So but anyway, so we got out of there, I rented a like a storage van, like a moving van, not a U haul big van, but just like what like a sprinter van.

46:26Speaker 2:Yeah, it was interesting to complement from the pod because you had more stuff than you anticipated.

46:32Speaker 3:Yeah exactly, we probably could have fitted all on the pod, but it's just hard to gauge when you do it, and then you worry about the weight of the pod because if if it's too much in the pod, then they're just gonna leave it there and you know, they pick it up the day that we left, and all this timing, it all came down to just that one day. And so we rented this sprinter van to go with it, and just took the stuff that we were going to take to the house because we were moving in with my parents in the beginning until we kind of get on our feet here stuff like that, because they have plenty of room. So and when I went to go get the van, the sprinter van, when you know what people don't understand sometimes and watch out for this if you're getting these types of vans.

47:19Speaker 1:If you're doing a one way.

47:23Speaker 3:Usually they if they have like a piece of shit van that's in their fleet, they're gonna give you that piece of shit van in their fleet so they can hand that off to the next people that are up there. If you can make it, if it makes it, yeah, exactly, And it almost seemed like it wasn't gonna make it.

47:39Speaker 1:Now.

47:39Speaker 3:This thing was nice and smooth. It drove nice and smooth, but very rickety dense all over the place. I mean when I went to go pick it up. And then they do like the damage you know, where they mark where the damage is of the thing.

47:51Speaker 1:The guy just squiggled across the whole graphic of the van.

47:54Speaker 3:It was just just one giant squiggle, you know. The rear view mirror was falling apart. Wasn't even a mirror in the med I couldn't even see out the back. There's no camera back there. It was nothing.

48:04Speaker 1:Yeah, and uh.

48:05Speaker 3:And then the people when I when I went actually to turn it in when I got up here, the woman that I gave it to it was like, wow, look at this key. She's like, this key isn't even from the US. This thing came from like overseas, so it was probably some like drug smuggling van, you know, you know what it looked like.

48:22Speaker 4:It that van's been through more than you how was a fly on the wall and that's side inside of that van.

48:28Speaker 3:Yeah, probably came from the Ukraine. So so we ended up getting up here. The move was you know, fairly smooth. The pod ended up getting up here like two like a week and a half later.

48:42Speaker 1:So it's here.

48:43Speaker 3:We haven't been to it yet, so we don't know what's moved in there. We don't know what's you know, if anything's fallen over, if anything's displaced. So I'm hoping I did a good job packing that thing up, but it was kind of a you know, kind of a series of you know, quick things. Once we got up here, kind of a crunch time because my son was going to start high school the next week that we got up here, and my daughter was going to start well, she was gonna need to be dropped off at her school.

49:12Speaker 3:So her school's two hours away from where we are, and my son ended up getting into the high school. That's that's you know, really close to us right now. So we've got my daughter starting college. We've got my son starting a brand new high school as a freshman, and then we've got my wife and I that are just you know, starting a whole new life, brand new, brand new jobs, all that kind of thing. I have to switch to, you know, being in LA being a photographer on movie sets, being a photographer shooting celebrities, stuff like that.

49:45Speaker 1:There's none of that anymore.

49:46Speaker 3:Now I have to switch to a photographer that's more like a news based photographer that's going to go out on assignments, through through agencies and through through outlets.

49:57Speaker 1:So you know, we've all got our work cut out for us up here.

50:01Speaker 3:Oh sure, this is the dad's of teens, So let's just talk about what the teens.

50:09Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I mean there's so much extra with that move and what you I mean you literally moved out of.

50:16Speaker 4:The frying pan and into the fire up there. Yeah, short story, you mean moved from LA.

50:21Speaker 2:He moved out of the crack pipe into the into the lighter.

50:26Speaker 3:So the first week so we kind of decide my son's you know, he's been playing uh club soccer for the past few years and stuff, and then he quit his club team just right when we decided that we were going to move, so we didn't just keep paying for it and keep paying for it and have be obligated to be traveling all over the southern California and wherever for that while we were, you know, trying to pack our lives up. So he's been out of season for I don't know, a month or so, or a couple of months, maybe six months, and he decided to go out for the soccer team here. And when we checked with the school, first of all, signing up your child to register for not only the school but for sports, yeah, it's like you might as well be applying to have a job.

51:22Speaker 1:As like the security guard at Fort Knox, you know what I mean.

51:27Speaker 3:Like it's like, yeah, just registering.

51:32Speaker 1:For school is a nightmare.

51:33Speaker 3:You have to go through like a seven page questionnaire, you know this, that whatever, you have to prove your residency.

51:40Speaker 1:You have to go through all this stuff. And then when you sign up.

51:43Speaker 3:For the sports, you have to do the sports registration, which is all the information you just did with the school. Like I don't understand why they can't just blend the information together, but you have to do the same exact thing to register to register for sports even more because you have to get a physical and you have to you know, but you have to prove your residency.

52:02Speaker 1:Again. It's like, I don't get it.

52:04Speaker 4:It's the same school, same residency. You shouldn't have to at least prove that maybe you can streamline.

52:09Speaker 1:Yeah, that part of it.

52:10Speaker 2:Yeah, fucking I'm going to the school and the school has the sports there.

52:13Speaker 1:Yeah. And then and then I get that.

52:15Speaker 3:You get the sheet where oh, this is the coach's email, you know, contact him, you know, so you can get you can try and you know, at least get on the team if there's any even time left.

52:24Speaker 1:Right, So we.

52:26Speaker 3:Got his email. He he, you know, he responds with, oh, we communicate through.

52:31Speaker 1:This app of course.

52:33Speaker 3:Oh, other fucking app, another sports app. You know, I just deleted all my sports apps like the day before because I'm like, I'm never going to get involved with these fucking things again.

52:41Speaker 1:You know, game changers, game changers, yeah, all that shit. Yeah.

52:46Speaker 3:So I get on the app and I find out that there's one training session left the day before the tryouts, which is the next day, you know, oh shit, and when we up here, it's you know, because here where we come from, is sea level, you know, here is forty five hundred feet and it's one hundred and five degrees.

53:11Speaker 2:So a lot of stuff working against you.

53:13Speaker 1:Yeah, so we're like, okay, you got to go out.

53:15Speaker 3:You got to do this training session just so they can see what you look like out there and you can maybe get in.

53:20Speaker 1:It's going to be crazy. It's two and a half hours in this weather. Good luck out there, you know.

53:26Speaker 3:Yeah, comes back from that, we pick him up from that, he's dead.

53:31Speaker 2:Oh sure.

53:31Speaker 3:And then the next day is the tryouts, you know, so he goes, he does the same and the tryouts are the same thing. Two and a half hours is basically a training session. The whole time, I'm thinking about it from my point of view, and I'm like, there's no way I would do it. I'm just I'm done, you know, Like I'm exhausted just knowing that you're going to do it, you know.

53:51Speaker 4:Yeah, and your and your son is you know, he's not you know, he's he's stretching out and he's already skinny.

54:00Speaker 2:So I mean, I think there's only so much sweat he.

54:03Speaker 4:Can produce exactly, you know, in a certain amount of time. So I imagine him playing soccer with a camel pack on. Yeah, trying to stay hydrated and make the team.

54:12Speaker 3:Yeah, he just lives on protein drinks and uh, protein shakes and uh and cereal, you know.

54:19Speaker 1:Yeah.

54:21Speaker 3:So, so he goes to the tryouts and you know, he's not talking to any kids, you know, because we don't we don't really watch him. He doesn't want us to watch them, so we drop him off and then we come back and get him. But we sit there for a little bit and like watch them and stuff. He's not talking to any kids anything like that. I'm just kind of like, ah, man, you know, I don't know if he's going to make this thing, you know, kind of a bummer. I really want him to, though, because obviously if you're on a sports team you start school, you're gonna be at a different level than nothing, you know.

54:49Speaker 2:Yeah.

54:50Speaker 3:So so he so two days later, they put out the they put out the sheet.

54:57Speaker 1:And he made the JV team, you know, okay.

55:00Speaker 3:And it was honestly one of the most stroudest moments, like of my life, seriously, you know, because it was such crunch time.

55:09Speaker 1:You know, he obviously went out there and he did something.

55:12Speaker 3:Yeah, tried hard, enough to at least, you know, they could have easily just been like, FIRS, screw these people whatever, But it was awesome. It was awesome to see, and I was really proud of him to do that.

55:22Speaker 1:You know. Then the fires start, all right, yep.

55:28Speaker 3:So there was a couple of lightning storms whatever, and they started these kind of spot fires that started that. We're fairly close to where we were living, and they were just moving towards where we were. So for the next four days, it was just constant like watching these these apps of where the evacuations are. I'm actually getting one right now on my thing right here, Evacuation warning zones. They're lifting them now because the fire's out. But the fire kept getting closer and closer. They closed the So he was supposed to start last week, right yep, And they closed the school.

56:07Speaker 1:They closed it the entire week.

56:08Speaker 3:Every day we were checking to see, you know, they would put out a message if the school was going to start.

56:13Speaker 1:Never started. So he actually starts this week along with your son. Okay, they're both going to start this week.

56:23Speaker 3:He's got his first game tomorrow really already, and yeah, no practice, no nothing, just jumping in.

56:30Speaker 1:He's going to show up there. They're gonna get him, give him a uniform, and you know, see how it goes, which is kind of cool.

56:35Speaker 4:Yeah, that is cool because when it comes to the high school sports, you have an actual tryout rather than you put him on a club team.

56:43Speaker 2:You pay for it, and then they play or they don't play where other case may be.

56:46Speaker 4:So he had to earn his spot, you know, coming in out of nowhere, jumping in, earning a spot, you know, showing him what he showing them what he can do. And then now he's on that team. So now he's off and running it literally hitting the ground running. Yeah, that's greatly, that's cool because he he he actually earned it himself. It's not yeah, yeah, threw him out there because you paid for it.

57:08Speaker 2:It's uh, you know, you gotta do it.

57:10Speaker 4:It's gonna be the same thing when my son gets to high school and wants to play baseball or he's going.

57:16Speaker 1:That's gonna be a tough one too. The baseball.

57:18Speaker 2:Yeah, the baseball one's gonna be way tough because.

57:21Speaker 3:But you know, you're the you're the unofficial mayor of baseball, so right, he should be okay, you know, not only is he good, but he's got your backing, so he'll be fine.

57:32Speaker 1:He'll be good. We'll make sure.

57:33Speaker 4:But he's leaning towards golf right now, so I don't know what we're gonna do about that.

57:37Speaker 3:But oh yeah, then there's that too, I mean, you know, championship well, and my son too, like you know, I'm trying to get him going.

57:43Speaker 1:We'll get into that in a minute.

57:45Speaker 3:So when he decided he was going to go out for to try out for soccer, he didn't have any cleats because his cleats were too small because it's been six months, right, Oh yeah, So went.

57:56Speaker 2:He grew like two inches.

57:57Speaker 3:We can't order him online because it's the next day, so we have to go to the local like sports shop which is called Shields up here.

58:06Speaker 1:It's like a Giant Dix Sports.

58:09Speaker 3:Yeah I've heard of that, yeah yeah, And so we went in there and the only cleats they had for him at this point it was one hundred and seventy dollars cleats.

58:21Speaker 2:What, oh my god, one hundred and seventy So.

58:26Speaker 3:Well, they they had older ones, but they were like one twenty and those things like he didn't want them. You know, you can't, you know, yeah, I'm not gonna wear them. I'm not gonna wear them. I'm not gonna try out. If I have to wear those things, I'm not gonna do it, you know.

58:41Speaker 1:Oh my god.

58:42Speaker 3:So he got these super expensive cleats. They feel like nothing. And we're like, okay, listen, you go out for the training session, you go out for the for the tryouts. If you don't make the team, they're going right back. Hell yeah, you know what I mean?

58:55Speaker 2:Yeah, they are.

58:56Speaker 3:So he makes the team and we're like, okay, now we're we're invested, you know.

59:01Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah you are. That's fucking neck deep in soccer cleats and you only got.

59:05Speaker 1:Two of them.

59:06Speaker 2:Seriously, can I get another left foot just in case?

59:10Speaker 1:I swear to god, man, it's nuts.

59:12Speaker 3:So the fires are encroaching on this neighborhood where we live. There's evacuation orders that are maybe a quarter mile away, right, and they're like get ready to go evacuation orders. They're not like actual evacuation orders. There's two tiers, you know. So, but everybody's still scared. Everybody's getting scared of stuff. And I'm looking at this thing and the fires up here. It's not forests, you know, it's desert, so the forest is over on the hills, right over on the mountains, so it's surface fires. It's fires that go along the grass, you know, and like the surface and stuff and the little shrubbery that's along there. Right, it's not like, you know, this thing of embers go flying everywhere and everything like, so.

59:55Speaker 2:It spreads faster, it's lower.

59:57Speaker 1:Yeah.

59:58Speaker 3:Yeah, so I'm not really worried about it. But everybody out here is freaking out and stuff. But we're getting to the day where it's going to be like either the fire is going to shift or the evacuation orders are going to come in here. But we have to leave to take my daughter to college, so we'll see.

1:00:16Speaker 2:Yeah, we'll see what happens when we get.

1:00:17Speaker 3:So we're like, see you guys, you know, good luck with that evacuation order. I ended up ordering like a roof sprinkler for my parents here just in case that came that morning, So just in case they could like connect a hose up to it and put the sprinkler on the roof and it'll like spray the roof.

1:00:33Speaker 1:If that was going to be the case.

1:00:35Speaker 3:But we left and we take my daughter up to college, right now she's going to a community college, but she's playing golf on the golf team at the community college.

1:00:44Speaker 1:Right, Yes, she's.

1:00:45Speaker 3:Moving into a dorm and it's a brand new dorm like no one's lived I think last semester was the first time anybody's lived in the dorms.

1:00:54Speaker 1:Brand new, brand new.

1:00:55Speaker 3:Built, really nice, high tech everything. My son hadn't started school, so he came. He actually came with us, so he got to be part of the whole.

1:01:03Speaker 2:The whole process. Yeah, that's cool also.

1:01:05Speaker 1:Which is kind of cool.

1:01:07Speaker 3:So we show up there and we park and we don't really know what we're doing. We you know, it's all new to all of us. So we start walking up and the minute we start walking up, I see this group of kids getting out of this car because they're all moving in.

1:01:19Speaker 1:But they move in at different times.

1:01:20Speaker 3:Right, You're supposed to schedule the times of the different people to move in at different times.

1:01:25Speaker 4:The different sports kids too, right, because I mean football starting, so all those kids are probably moving in sooner than your daughter moving in.

1:01:36Speaker 3:Well, yeah, I mean everybody know, everybody moved into the dorms at the same time.

1:01:40Speaker 1:May they moved in earlier? Yeah, because they've been training for a little bit, but I don't know. I didn't know that.

1:01:45Speaker 3:And these days when they're when they're moving into a dorm, everybody gets to meet each other on social media before they go, so it's not like when we would go to when we went to school or whatever. We showed up at the dorm and it's like you see your roommate for the first and you're like, hey, dude, you know what's going on whatever, and you get to know each other there they could fully get to know each other. So she originally was going to go with some sports girls, like a softball girl, stuff like that, and then she started meeting all these people through these socials and she met girls that are like her, you know, music and they like this and oh yeah, and she kind of switched over to these kind of girls that are like her, which I wasn't really cool with because I was like, you know, you could be friends with all those people, but you want to go and you need to live with them, yeah, and you want to be kind of around people that are like minded and under the same kind of training regiments and stuff like that, similar whatever, But you know, it's her deal.

1:02:42Speaker 1:She's eighteen, she could do whatever she wants. Now.

1:02:45Speaker 3:So we show up at the school. We're trying to figure out what's going on. The first thing we see is a car full of furries get out. The first thing we see is a group of furries that get out of car and they.

1:03:00Speaker 1:Start walking towards the dorm. And I'm like, oh my god, get this.

1:03:04Speaker 2:There should be a dress code, some some sort of dress code. It's not Halloween.

1:03:08Speaker 1:It is California. It's California. So we just laugh it off.

1:03:15Speaker 3:We laugh it off and yeah, it's funny whatever. But as we're kind of maneuvering around and you know, going through the process and stuff, there's a lot of characters that are moving into this dorm like it is.

1:03:29Speaker 1:You know, you've.

1:03:30Speaker 3:Got every bit of diversity that there possibly could be. You know, you could see the obvious trans group, you could see the obvious you know, kind of ghetto group. You could see the obvious you know, uh, stoner group. You can see the obvious hippie group.

1:03:45Speaker 1:You can see I mean, wow.

1:03:47Speaker 4:That's that's really interesting because I mean when we were going to junior college or community college, it was it.

1:03:54Speaker 2:Seemed pretty affordable.

1:03:56Speaker 4:I don't know what would it cost per unit or anything.

1:03:59Speaker 2:I have no idea, I have no clue. But it's not cheap.

1:04:04Speaker 1:Well, I guess it's.

1:04:06Speaker 2:Comparable to you know, the price of everything now.

1:04:09Speaker 3:But well, and it's community college, so and it's in state. She's got in state tuition because you know, she she registered when we were still here, stuff like that, so it's it's in state stuff. I think it's like forty six bucks per unit or something like that. You know, it's not that expant. The housing though, that's that's where the prices go up. And then like the meal plan and stuff like that. But she but she, you know, applied for grants. She applied for financial aid.

1:04:36Speaker 1:All on her own. We were waiting on it up until the last minute.

1:04:40Speaker 3:Even ntil when we when we got there, we were worried about like what was covered, what wasn't covered, she what she was granted, what she was awarded, stuff like that.

1:04:49Speaker 1:So you know, walking into the school, we were.

1:04:55Speaker 3:Like twenty six thousand dollars in debt or something like that, like that's what the number or said, you know. But once we moved in and then we went down and talked to the financial office. Everything had been awarded like that day.

1:05:09Speaker 1:Nice. Yeah, so most of it's paid for.

1:05:13Speaker 3:I think it ended up to be just a few grand you know, to just for the for the housing and the meals and stuff like that.

1:05:18Speaker 1:Yeah.

1:05:18Speaker 4:I think that meal plan is something that you it's not covered by because what my daughter is doing the same thing. We have to take care of that meal plan for the year. Yeah, it's not covered by any kind of scholarship or anything.

1:05:28Speaker 3:Yeah, And so you go, you rent a cart to put your stuff in.

1:05:33Speaker 1:And that that was another.

1:05:34Speaker 3:Whole thing was the day of we went over to because my daughter was staying with my sister because she's down the street, and she had all these boxes that I wasn't even paying attention to, like what she was going to bring to college and stuff like that. And then we go to load up the car to bring it, you know, to drive it over to where she is, and she's got all these boxes and we can't even fit in the car if anything.

1:05:56Speaker 1:And we're like, you got to go through all this stuff and take out the.

1:05:59Speaker 3:Stuff you absolutely need for this stuff because we can't fit all the stuff in the car.

1:06:03Speaker 2:Yeah, we're gonna put it in your in your dorm room too. It's like it's not that she's getting her own room or.

1:06:09Speaker 1:Her own habit exactly.

1:06:11Speaker 3:You know, it's like five by you know, twelve feet, a lot of room. So we consolidated stuff and then we finally got it up there, and you know, she still would load up three of these you know, these things are probably four feet by four foot tubs. You know that you roll all your stuff into. Everybody's doing the same thing. So going into the dorm, there's the main door right, Yes, to get into the dorm, you've got to have a pass for that little code scanner for that. She's on the third floor, So you go up there. You come out of the third floor, there's a set of double doors to her hallway right.

1:06:50Speaker 1:Oh wow, that you have to scan to get into that.

1:06:53Speaker 3:It's double doors, right, that locks like at night. You know it's opened all day, but it locks at night. The first section is all girls dorm rooms, and then you continue down the hallway and then there's the guy's dorm rooms. They're not separated by anything, but they're separated by the.

1:07:10Speaker 1:Group, you know what I mean.

1:07:11Speaker 2:Yes, the one on one side of the floor or the other. Yeah, he what's just saying? Yeah, so girls, they're.

1:07:17Speaker 4:All on the same floor, but girls are on technically one side, guys are on the other. But essentially there's gonna be a set of doors that are next to each other. There's gonna be girls dorms, and then boys dorms are essentially right next door to it.

1:07:31Speaker 3:Yeah, one girl's dorm and one guy's dorm. And then the guys are here and the girls are here.

1:07:35Speaker 2:Yeah, correct, yept.

1:07:36Speaker 3:So so we go down and then there's another scanner dwarf to get into her dorm room, her dorm suite. So you walk in, there's a little common area, and then there's another little hall with three doors that they have an actual key to, and then there's two girls in each one of those rooms.

1:07:52Speaker 1:Right, So we're pretty much the first ones there.

1:07:56Speaker 3:So we walk in and we get our stuff, we unload everything, we start setting.

1:08:00Speaker 1:Up her room, and then her roommates start piling in with their parents.

1:08:05Speaker 3:We're getting to know them, we're talking with them, blah blah blah, and we're going making trips up and down, you know, just getting stuff in and dodging and stuff, and it's chaos, total fucking chaos.

1:08:14Speaker 2:Sure, yeah, just moving yourself as chaos.

1:08:17Speaker 1:Yeah.

1:08:17Speaker 2:Can imagine you know, sixty one hundred people doing the same thing at the same time. Yeah, yeah, absolutely bedlam. It was.

1:08:26Speaker 3:Yeah, it was, it really was. It was easier than I thought, but it was still pretty bad. And then you realize the stuff that you you, the more stuff you need, so then you got to go to target and get more stuff and then bring.

1:08:38Speaker 1:That stuff back.

1:08:38Speaker 2:Oh sure.

1:08:40Speaker 3:So towards the middle of the whole move and stuff, I had already met one of the dads and everything, and then one of the dads comes up to me and he goes, hey, I just I just saw the neighbor, like the next door neighbor.

1:08:49Speaker 1:The guy which you're talking about, how the girls.

1:08:52Speaker 3:There's the girl's room and then the first guy's room right there, and he's like, check it out. And he shows me this picture and it's a guy walking down the hall and he's got an ankle monitor.

1:09:03Speaker 1:On his ankle, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

1:09:06Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm like what wait, I'm like, I mean, I I'm like, this is funny, but are we supposed to be laughing about this?

1:09:13Speaker 1:Yeah? There it is right there, zooming on his ankle right there. Yeah there, Yeah, insane dude, that's him right there. So that's so that's my daughter's next door neighbor. Right.

1:09:27Speaker 3:So as time goes on, like the next half hour, it's just marinating in my brain, you know, and I'm like, I can't leave here without saying something to someone, because if something happens with this guy and no one said anything, I'm gonna be that guy that went I saw that happening and then I didn't say anything.

1:09:47Speaker 1:You know what I mean?

1:09:49Speaker 2:Yeah, how would that work if you have an active criminal record and applying to community college and staying there? Like what, what's the just the school has to they have to know what the details of his case are.

1:10:03Speaker 1:They do they do?

1:10:05Speaker 3:And I mean I ai'ed it right after that, you know, Okay, it was basically in California, of course.

1:10:12Speaker 1:Yeah, in California, criminals, criminals.

1:10:15Speaker 3:Depending on you know, what they do or whatever their sentences or whatever, they have the right to student housing and an education as long as they're under like strict watch alert, you know what I mean. Yeah, Yeah, I'm overwatch or whatever you want to call it. Right, So, one of the times when I'm passing by because the ra is just sitting at the end of the hall the whole day, just with his computer answering any questions for anybody or whatever, And so I go up telling them.

1:10:45Speaker 3:I'm like, hey, bro, ankle monitor guy, what's the deal, what's the deal? I just saw him? What's what's going on with that dude? He's right next door to my daughter's you know.

1:10:56Speaker 1:I'm like, and he's like, oh, yeah, he's a good guy.

1:11:00Speaker 3:Second year and you know, he's not a threat, and you know it's nonviolent crime whatever it was and stuff. He's like, but you know, he he can be here. He has a right to be here and stuff. And I'm like, Okay, I'm like, I'm gonna take your word for this thing. I'm like, but if anything happens, I'm like, I'm coming after you, dude. Yeah, because and he kind of like looked at me like like whoa dude, Like why would you come after me?

1:11:24Speaker 1:Oh? Yeah?

1:11:24Speaker 4:And lyrically, yeah, the school you go after you know, some official at the school or yeah, the guy in the guy in the hall at the end of the hall, he's the face of the school.

1:11:34Speaker 2:So you go after him.

1:11:35Speaker 3:First, Yeah, and his look made me think like like wait, what what, Like he's actually feeling like something might.

1:11:43Speaker 1:Happen, and I don't want him coming after me.

1:11:48Speaker 3:So uh So then we go in and I'm talking because my daughter's roommate, her direct roommate is a second year sophomore, and I asked her, I'm like, do you know this ankle monitor guy.

1:11:59Speaker 1:I'm like, if we were heard of him and stuff. She's like no, She's like, but I'm not surprised.

1:12:03Speaker 3:She's like, last year we had a schizo that freaked out and he was threatening to kill people.

1:12:08Speaker 1:Oh my god, Oh my god, dude, California, what the fuck?

1:12:13Speaker 2:Yeah, schitzos have the right to go to school too.

1:12:16Speaker 1:Oh my god.

1:12:17Speaker 4:Yeah, it's all good until you know your kid gets murdered.

1:12:22Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly.

1:12:23Speaker 2:A rape, right rape, there's no proactiveness at all. Just let him go. You know, the person's a threat, but you let him do.

1:12:32Speaker 4:It anyway until they actually do something, and then you're like, okay, well now we got.

1:12:36Speaker 1:To do something.

1:12:36Speaker 3:Yeah, it's like the e bikes, you know, Oh, until some kid dies, we can't really make a policy.

1:12:41Speaker 2:Yeah, that's you know, that's it's called proactiveness, not profiling, and you gotta change it. You know what's funny is I was on house arrest when I was younger, and it's summertime.

1:12:53Speaker 1:I'm sure it's hot there.

1:12:54Speaker 2:But the blatantness of this kid to just wear shorts with this ankle monitor, you know, it's just like, hey, you know what, I don't give a shit, like not embarrassed, not even a little bit.

1:13:09Speaker 3:Not even cool enough to like put like a decoration or a sticker on it or something, you know.

1:13:13Speaker 2:Put a put a flag on it, like you put on the back of a little motorcycle, you know, a little orange flag or yeah, it looked like R two D two or so.

1:13:20Speaker 1:I don't know.

1:13:22Speaker 3:Even my son was like, hey, and man had an ankle monitor. He wasn't a bad guy.

1:13:31Speaker 1:I'm like, that's true, dude, that's true.

1:13:33Speaker 2:Hey you could she could live next door to an avenger.

1:13:38Speaker 1:Yeah. I'm like, maybe he just like hacked like the FBI mainframe, you know what I mean.

1:13:42Speaker 2:Yeah, that's non violent.

1:13:44Speaker 1:No, okay, But the guy was huge and he looked like a football player.

1:13:50Speaker 3:But I'm like, he can't be a football player because there's no way he's playing football with that ankle monitor. Yeah.

1:13:55Speaker 2:Right, So that's how they get their plays.

1:14:00Speaker 4:That's how they get their plays in the huddle, the transfer, the this a little speaker on it.

1:14:05Speaker 3:So while we're there, I'm trying to wrap this up as good as possible.

1:14:09Speaker 1:I know, we're probably going on an hour.

1:14:10Speaker 2:Now, yeah, yeah, we we probably have to do a part two.

1:14:13Speaker 1:Yeah.

1:14:14Speaker 3:But so while we're there, her roommates are all talking about this Jason Alden concert that they're going to the next night, right, and and they're all going the you know, the next day.

1:14:26Speaker 1:We're back here, we drive back whatever, we're back here.

1:14:29Speaker 3:And I'm constantly my brain is going crazy. Right, sure, oh yeah, it's a location. She's running around, she's going to target, doing all the stuff. But my imagination takes over and I'm like, all of her roommates are going to Jason Alden.

1:14:44Speaker 1:She's going to be in that dorm room by herself.

1:14:47Speaker 3:Then there's that big ass dude with the fucking ankle monitor right next door, right.

1:14:53Speaker 1:And so.

1:14:55Speaker 2:Yeah, I wonder he would get that far. I'm sure he would get that far.

1:14:59Speaker 3:So I'm going, well, you know, like, you know, there's one of those he's next door. So he made it past the first line of defense, which is the front doors, and then he made it past the double doors at the end of the hall.

1:15:10Speaker 1:Because he lives there. Yeah, he's just lurking in a corner.

1:15:14Speaker 3:My daughter's not paying attention because she's stupid, and he goes, you know, she goes into the dorm. All of a sudden, the foot goes into the doorway and doesn't let the door close.

1:15:24Speaker 1:And then boom, he's in there.

1:15:26Speaker 2:That's right, it happens. You're gonna need help with your homework.

1:15:31Speaker 1:Don't tell me.

1:15:34Speaker 4:Don't tell me it's not Yeah, it's funny, because well it's not funny, but it is funny. It's kind of funny, kind of scary. You're fucking freaking me out, but it's kind of funny. But that's what we're gonna do next year. Well, I've already visited and seen where my daughter's dorm building is, and it's the same deal with a key card.

1:15:54Speaker 1:The kids get a key card to.

1:15:56Speaker 4:Get in and they house the sports people, the sports kids with each other. I don't know about the I don't remember what she said about the details. I think she might be in the same dorm as the football players. So they put they purposely put the sports kids with the sports kids, so it's a different it's a different dynamic. But still you got a building full of dudes with CTE.

1:16:21Speaker 3:Yeah, it doesn't matter, Like it really doesn't matter either way if you've got furries or football players, you know, but so level of so what this vision goes into my head right and I immediately go on to stub hub.

1:16:37Speaker 2:Oh shit, you got her tickets to that? You go on the ticket.

1:16:42Speaker 1:I go on the ticket.

1:16:44Speaker 3:I want the tickets, And I text her and I said, where are your friend's seats? And I'm looking at the prices and I'm like, please say the lawn. Please say the lawn, you know, because I don't want.

1:16:58Speaker 1:To spend much of money to put a third row, you know what I mean. So she says the lawn, and I'm like, are you sure? Are you positive?

1:17:07Speaker 3:Because I don't want to get you a ticket and then you're completely separated from everybody and when you get there, you're screwed, you know what I mean.

1:17:15Speaker 1:She shows me the.

1:17:16Speaker 3:Tickets of the friends because she took a screenshot, and I'm like, okay, cool, So I buy her a ticket, and I'm like, go to Jason Alden.

1:17:25Speaker 1:Bubba rape you that night.

1:17:31Speaker 2:God Captain jumped to conclusions, Oh my god, she put a cape on.

1:17:38Speaker 1:I'm not going to be that guy.

1:17:39Speaker 2:I'm you know, don't get wasted at a Jason al Dean concert.

1:17:44Speaker 1:Don't.

1:17:45Speaker 2:But don't don't be that that statistic where you're at the girl by herself in her dorm room. No, it's four levels of security with guy with an ankle monitor. They could still get through.

1:17:56Speaker 1:Not in the first night.

1:17:57Speaker 2:No, hell no, it's just basically speaking, that's when most crimes do happen in a dorm. Yeah, with four levels of security with a guy in an ankle monitor.

1:18:07Speaker 1:That's what I hear. That's what a I told me.

1:18:11Speaker 2:Oh my god.

1:18:13Speaker 3:Anyways, so anyway, she's up there now. She went to Jason Aldeane. She had a nice bonding but plus I thought it would be a nice bonding experience with her, with her and stuff like no doubt, no doubt on them all together and stuff, and and it did. So she's up there, she's three days in. I'm trying not to look on my app or my tracker app, trying a.

1:18:34Speaker 2:Good yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not gonna do you any good anyway.
