DIY everything from
U2

unclogging toilets to
U1
0:07
pumping up bike tires.
U2
0:08
Jimmy also is tired of his son clogging the toilet. And Jesse is worried about his adult kid sewing skill. 1s Hey. Welcome to Dad's. Our podcast. Single dad versus married dad. I'm here with my good friend Jimmy. I'm Jesse. Hey.
U1
0:23
Hey,
U2
0:25
what up, Fred? I'm gonna go today. I'm gonna go by Glucose guardian. It's a non gender specific sugar daddy. Since I feel like I'm in the giving mood, I'm gonna call you Slim Jim today. What's up,
U1
0:38
friend? Hey. Hey. How's your day so far, man? Happy Father's Day. I know we had the episode, but it's officially Father's Day.
U2
0:47
Yeah, 1s by the time everyone's listening to this next week, I'm going to be in the same room with you. Hopefully. Hopefully.
U1
0:57
I got to wait for that work schedule to post. Like I said, Friday. Well, no, tomorrow, but like I said, he said if I work Saturday, it'll be one to seven, so I'll be home at like, 738. I don't care, whatever.
U2
1:14
I'll come to the casino. I'll come hang out.
U1
1:17
It's not at the casino, actually.
U2
1:20
It's. What if I'm side Hustle?
U1
1:22
What if I'm bartending your wedding and you don't even know
U2
1:25
it? Oh,
U1
1:27
how cool would that be?
U2
1:30
So the reason I'm in town is I'm going to my brother's wedding. He's having a ceremony on shore, but we're doing a four hour boat ride afterwards. I feel like at this point they would tell you if you're bartending on a boat, right?
U1
1:43
Yeah. Let me ask you this serious question. When was the last time you were on a booze cruise?
U2
1:52
I actually know that. Oh, my God. That takes me back to story about my dad of all days. Wow,
U1
1:59
look at that. We didn't even rehearse that one, guys.
U2
2:02
No. So is July 4 and it was in Germany. It was called 2s Five er it would I'm just going to wait till you stop messing with this microphone. Gee.
U1
2:16
I'm listening.
U2
2:18
I want the people to hear you. I was in Germany 4 July. It was 2000. The year was 2000 and. 2s Nine, and it was called a Fire on the Rhine. Basically go up and down this river, and the Germans give us a bunch of beer. My dad got so drunk, he started drinking everybody else's, like, empty glasses that had, like, a little bit, like, half an inch of beer in there. That a
U1
2:42
boy drinking it. That a boy.
U2
2:48
You could take him out of Detroit, but you can't take the Detroit out of him.
U1
2:51
That's a dad right there. So he came down to visit or came over. Yeah,
U2
2:56
him and my mom flew across the pond to come visit. That was also the same, I guess, summer they found out I was having son number three. Yeah, it was a good time. Dude,
U1
3:08
that's a hell of a year right there,
U2
3:10
buddy. Yeah. Boots cruise. But my drinking days are past me, so I'm just here to have a good time, watch everybody else get lit.
U1
3:19
Not even a glass of champagne.
U2
3:22
I'll do a glass. Why not, man? I'll celebrate. There you go. Or a nice glass of red. I've been getting into some red wine lately, man. Dude,
U1
3:31
my son just got me a $50 bottle of
U2
3:34
red wine. Some fancy stuff. Dry wine. What
U1
3:37
up? What? Merlot? Cab, pinot. Noor, which one? Which one?
U2
3:42
I don't know. I think it's a blend. Actually. It could be a cab. I got to go look. I didn't look too tough, so he gives me a steak with all the fixings and stuff. He goes, Here you go. Cook it yourself. He gives this to me yesterday, and he gives me this wine. And then today, on actual Father's Day, I'm delivering the big screen television to him. It's like, this is messed up, man.
U1
4:03
See, he was buttering you.
U2
4:05
Yeah, he was.
U1
4:06
He was. He knew. He knew. He knew. He knew.
U2
4:09
He. Well, it was a good week, man. So I talked to him on the phone, or we do a lot of text, the group text, family text, which now he's got his girlfriend involved in that, which is kind of cool. We're growing as a family. But we had a big debate this week on DYI do it yourself projects and how much they actually learned from me. And I was like, I want to talk to you about this stuff. You being the single dad, I'm being the married dad. And we could talk about the differences. 1s Do we try to keep these kids busy? 1s Should we be teaching them? I don't know. How early do we start letting them use our tools? Well, that's what I was just going to say. I feel like honestly, at eleven,
U1
4:57
as a kid, I was
U2
5:00
I'm more advanced, I would say, in areas than my son is right now. I would say
U1
5:09
by eleven, I want to say I was mowing my lawn, my grandma's lawn.
U2
5:16
Oh, yeah. We're children of the 80s, so, one, we would have to be self sufficient. I don't think we got as bored as much as the kids do nowadays, honestly. A lot of good came of it. I think us just kind of figuring things out on our own growing up. Right. I could tell you right now, probably encourages logical thinking, 1s problem solving, some creativity, because it's not like I knew how to do anything. Just figure it out. Right, right.
U1
5:44
And then I would say, honestly, that because my uncle was or is or was. I don't know if he's retired
U2
5:52
now, he's still with us.
U1
5:54
Right, right. Yeah. But I was
U2
5:55
the Lord Jesus Christ
U1
5:57
knew, but he was a carpenter, so I was using a hammer. Six, seven, eight. I don't think my son has touched the fuck. Can hammer you 2s when I was a kid. And so it gave me a hammer. Everything was a nail. I probably pounded a lot of shit I shouldn't have. Yeah,
U2
6:16
baby. That's what we like to hear. Whatever. Not like you think. So I looked online and. 1s Of course, Google. And you know, the interwebs, they've got all sorts of opinions, right? And I looked up this one website. It said, here's a list of what, you know, any kid, any kid should be able to do by the age of twelve if I go through this list. So I have my youngest is 13, yours is eleven. So twelve, you know, this is a good age, right in the middle. And I gave the list to my kids, and the one that's oldest, like 24, he goes, I don't do any of this stuff, some of this stuff now, and I'm 24, let alone twelve. 1s Wow. Do I hear the list? Yes. What do you think? Number one on the list? Every twelve year old should be able to sew on a button. And that was when my 24 year old is like, I've never sewed on a button. I'm like, what do you do then? You just throw out your pants? Like, 1s hello. Google. Well, me personally,
U1
7:24
I disagree with that.
U2
7:27
I don't think at eleven a kid should know how to
U1
7:33
sew on a button. 2s It's a great depression. Is it? No. What I'm getting at here is I don't even know if do they still have Homeac in high school?
U2
7:46
I don't think my son does. I don't think he has Homeac Auto shop. I don't know. He's in junior high, so he doesn't have in junior high they have tech technology class and they have chorus.
U1
7:58
Well, that's what I was getting at. We had home EC, but we didn't have that until high school.
U2
8:07
I made a pillow. I made a pillow in 7th grade, bro. I could sew in 7th.
U1
8:11
Really? Okay. Well, yeah, maybe taylor
U2
8:16
yeah. Joining the military, I had to sew up a lot of buttons, man. I was like, oh, my God. I've never taught my kids. But here's the thing, my parents never taught me that. I just learned on my own,
U1
8:26
right? Yeah. I mean, I know how. I ain't going to lie. I know how to sew a button. Do I have a sewing kit in the house? No, I still take my shit to my mom if I need a button
U2
8:37
on.
U1
8:38
But I know how to do it. She has all the stuff, though. I
U2
8:42
don't. Here's another one. Change a plug. And I have no idea what the hell they
U1
8:46
change a change plug like a hair plug. Because we're at the age we're at the age where we have hair plugs.
U2
8:55
Yeah. They didn't specify it. I'm like, I'm moving on. That's too nebulous. All right. Change bed sheets. Can your son change bed sheets? It
U1
9:04
he could. Has he? No. I usually do
U2
9:07
it. I feel like my kid could try to figure it out, but I don't know what the end result is going to be. All right, number four mow a lawn.
U1
9:16
No,
U2
9:18
my youngest hasn't cut the grass yet. No, mine either, but I just had a conversation with my neighbor down the street that my son is going to be in charge of mowing. We have, like, in the back of my house, you've seen I have a field, and it's not my property, but I cut it anyway for more land. He's going to be in charge of mowing. That now on.
U1
9:41
So if he messes up, I don't
U2
9:43
care. It's in the backyard.
U1
9:45
Yeah, exactly. And then next year we'll move to the front. But I enjoy yard work. That's the thing. How often is he going to do it? Because I don't mind doing
U2
9:52
it. Yeah, I'm the same way. I don't want in here saying he's never going to meet my satisfaction on quality. And my backyard's got too many hills. He'll probably fall and cut his foot off. Unless I get one of those light electric lawn mowers. Maybe be I'm not going to mess with it. Let's see. Next one on the changing a fuse. I didn't learn how to do this until I actually got a car. So I was 16. I don't see why a twelve year old could change a fuse like downstairs.
U1
10:19
That's what I was going to say. Dude, I didn't know how to change a fuse. I couldn't even tell you when I was eleven where my damn fuse box was in my house.
U2
10:30
I would say I'd be impressed if I could teach my kid how to reset a circuit breaker. I'll modernize that one. That's the one I probably should
U1
10:39
work on. Yeah, that's just a click click. But he's got to know which click click. The click.
U2
10:45
True. That's an easy one. I can teach him that, whether he remembers that's on him. All right, here's the next one. Use a washing machine. I've already talked about this. Once they start puberty, don't wash your clothes. It's disgusting. So we teach our kids how to wash clothes. The problem is they want to start. Oh, I got one. My favorite shirt's dirty. I just want to wash one shirt. I ain't having that either. So what age,
U1
11:08
buddy? What age? If they you so Brody can
U2
11:12
1213, man. They can do laundry.
U1
11:15
Well, I got a year for that. I don't know if I would trust him doing no laundry, though.
U2
11:22
Let him wash his own clothes. You don't have to trust him with your clothes.
U1
11:26
Yeah, but fair enough, right? So does that include folding? Because I'm 46 and I fold like a shit motherfucker. I'm the worst folder. If he's folding after me, 1s dude, I'll have his mom show him how to fold.
U2
11:43
Well, I can fold clothes good. My wife will disagree. I'll fold them when I need to, like when I was in basic training. But I'll get by. Who cares? Did they
U1
11:58
give you a class in basic training on how to fold?
U2
12:01
Yes, absolutely. Well,
U1
12:03
that's what I figured, because I know it
U2
12:04
had we could call it class. It was trading and it was
U1
12:09
intense. Yeah, no, 2s I figured that they would give you, like an advanced home EC course, because
U2
12:18
that's exactly what the military is. Advanced home EC course. In fact, I had to do these T shirts by six by six inches. Do you know how precise and how difficult it is to make your T shirts six by six inches folded? I was using tweezers, all these tricks. It's insane. And then I go through another version of basic training years later, officer training school. And they're like, we're not going to waste our time with all this folding. We just want you to roll them up and make them serviceable look nice. And I was like, oh, so much easier. So lobsters. We had it easy. We didn't have to fold it.
U1
12:55
That's what I do. I roll my T shirts and my undies.
U2
13:00
You never know when you're going to get that T shirt gun out and start just shooting up. 1s All right, next on the list, use a screwdriver. So this was very contentious amongst my adult children because it wasn't until recently they learned the difference between a Phillips and a standard of flathead. And they were arguing over my phone. Text message is like, 1s what's the cross screwdriver? What's happening here? No standard flathead. Don't you mean a normal screwdriver? They are arguing. 2s Like I said, they come up in a different age where everything they learn is coding and web design and cybersecurity. And I'm like, all right, I'm the one changing their tires and fixing their cars.
U1
13:53
When my son came home last year for an assignment for coding, I was like, what the shit? But my son does know the difference between a Phillips and a flathead. As I mentioned in previous episodes, one of our hobbies was taking apart GI Joe and you need to use a little Phillips screwed. So I took that opportunity to say, hey, this is the fill up and this is the flat hit. And so he does know that at eleven he knew that at probably eight.
U2
14:25
There you go. 1s All right, let's do does little Connor know how to use a potato peeler?
U1
14:33
No.
U2
14:36
No. So I gave this list to my 13 year old, and he's like, I know it all, dad. I was like, there's no way he's gonna get it, right? 2s I don't think so, dude.
U1
14:50
Oh, did you record it? Did you
U2
14:52
record it? Listen, I know my son. He's he's not gonna be able to do it. There's no way. All right, next on the list, unblock a sink. I don't think any of my kids can do that. And they're in their 20s. Let's say toilet as well, because I know for a fact my son is clogged up toilets, and he goes up. That's life, dad. That's it. Forever. I can't fix it. I'm like, no, I'm going to have to teach him. Well,
U1
15:21
my son, 2s this is going to be a little TMI, but he shits fucking longs,
U2
15:28
dude. 2s Every time he takes a shit, dude, it's amazing. Since you all don't eat vegetables in your house,
U1
15:37
nine out of ten times he plugs the fucking toilet, dude. And he does know how to unplug it, but I do not trust him. What are you
U2
15:46
talking about? Shit logs. We talking like Pringle can logs, man.
U1
15:51
I will next time. I'll send you a pic.
U2
15:55
I do. Don't you dare.
U1
15:58
So he knows how to unplug because he's seen me do it so many times. But I don't trust him because he'd have fucking shit water all over that fucking bathroom. 4s And now I gotta now I have to clean all that shit water up. So I go in there and I do it. But if I was not here, he would know how to do that. Yes. Oh, my God. This reminds me. When I was staying at a friend's house when I retired from the military, we went to Arkansas, and we went out with this couple to the bars and stuff. We come back, and their son was about Connor's age at the time. Maybe a little like nine or eight. I don't know. He's younger. About five years ago, he was nine, and he clogged up the toilets in the house, and he put up these signs. He goes, do not come in. But he spelled come wrong. He's put C-U-M I'm like, no way.
U2
16:51
Yeah, I took pictures of it. I was like, I don't know what's happening. 1s What's going on in the bathroom? And why is that sign say it like that?
U1
16:59
Wow.
U2
17:02
Apparently the inmates took over the asylum, and I was crying, man. He goes, he's learning to spell. Relax. I'm like, man, he's nine years old. How does he not know that's? Not a hard word. Anyways. All right. Next on the list. 2s Defrost a fridge. My wife said she doesn't even know how to do dude. I was gonna say who for one? Okay, one. Dude, this isn't the 18th century, okay? Who
U1
17:27
defrostes a fridge? I've never even seen that. What, do you just unplug
U2
17:32
it? That's essentially that's all you have to do is unplug it and keep it open. My son had to do that when he was in college. He had a beer fridge or college dorm fridge. I had to do it all the time when I was deployed out in the desert. We had little mini fridges. Super easy, man. Just turn it off. Here's another one. 1s That one's kind of dumb. My wife's like, who does that? I'm like, well, obviously you don't. All right, change the light bulb. I don't know if my 13 year old could do that if I told him to.
U1
18:04
I think mine could. I don't know if he knows how. Because, honestly, you buy these damn light bulbs now, and they're good. I don't think I've changed light bulbs since my son's been born.
U2
18:14
I know they last forever, right? I think I want to teach him how to do that because I'd be embarrassed if he gets to high school and go, I couldn't see anything in the dark. Dad, I'm using my cell phone flashlight. 3s The last one on the list is sort recycling. And he can do that. I've had him doing the garbage and recycling for years.
U1
18:38
Yeah, my son could do that. We don't do it, but he could do it. I don't recycle. Here's one thing, though. I want my son to know that I have to teach him. I tried to teach him every single time and he just can't do it. And I have no idea is to pump air in a bike tire. I'm so sick of doing that. Every few like, I was like, you can do this. I was doing that when I was seven years old because we rode our bikes everywhere. Yeah. 2s Anyways, any DYI do it yourself projects going around
U2
19:12
your house you'd rather not pay someone else to do doing
U1
19:15
anything? I wish I was more handy. My thing is I'm not the most handiest guy in the world. 1s YouTube, man. Well, that's what you said, dude. But I can't even draw. Like, I can't even cut straight. Dude, a piece of paper. I can't even cut a piece of paper straight. How am I going to cut a piece of wood
U2
19:32
straight? What about painting? You
U1
19:34
paint? Yeah. No, I've painted, actually. I have two tables in my garage. I'm in the process of sanding down. I want to restain it.
U2
19:44
We can and right?
U1
19:47
Well, you know what the funny thing is? I had an electric sander and I don't know where that where it went. I think I borrowed it out and no one gave it back to
U2
19:56
me. Oh, that's the worst. So
U1
19:59
I got a hand do it, but yeah, so I wouldn't mind getting him to do that.
U2
20:05
So you do that in your garage? It's funny because I don't have to do the furniture restoration. That's my wife's jam. Half of stuff I got looks like distressed. Even the old stuff I've had for 20 years. She's basically sanded it down, refinished it so it looks like new, so it's always trendy. This is the problem with Pinterest. You ever read Pinterest? You get all the great ideas from that one. Yeah, pinterest is horrible. I mean,
U1
20:34
I I like your I think it was last summer you did it. Or summer when you redid your own cabinets. Oh,
U2
20:42
yeah, I learned that from YouTube right now. It's funny you say that, because I'm in the process of. 2s Home shopping. I'm looking for condos, right, in Chicago for work. And I go in these places, and I see they're obviously flips. And I go to the cabinets and knowing all the work and the hours of YouTube I spent watching and practicing was that what I thought it was? Did you just happy
U1
21:11
Father's Day.
U2
21:13
I don't think it's or leaving logs. 1s If you could smell a picture right now, you just drop it as. All right, back to my story. 4s I go to this wood condo. First one we looked at. And first off, Jody tries to open up the drawer, and they put a new stove in there. So you can't even open up the kitchen drawer because the stove is, like, blocking it's hitting, like, the handles and everything. I'm like, oh, I don't think they saw that one through. The cabinets are all sticky. What I had to do with my cabinets was because I was trying to save money, we basically pulled all the doors off. We sanded everything down. I did this
U1
21:57
by hand or electric?
U2
22:00
A little both. Mostly electric, because you got to go by hand to get into certain areas in the grooves, right? And then I filled it in like this concoction fill in the yolk or whatnot? So when you paint it, you don't see the wood grain underneath it. It just looks solid. Well, I put primer, two, three, four coats. I used a sprayer. I love my sprayer, my paint sprayer. But I had to do it in a garage, and it was, like, February. It was super crazy cold. Yeah. So it takes a lot of time if you want to do it right. And of course, the more expensive paint nicer, it turns out. So right now it's last. It doesn't wear it's not sticky. You can clean it off. I go in this condo that the cabinets are sticky. I open up the doors, and it's not painted on the inside, so it looks like 1970. I'm like, this is such garbage, man. Details matter, man.
U1
23:01
No. Yeah, no, I would like to attempt that project, honest, with my cabinets, but
U2
23:09
I don't
U1
23:10
know, I messed something up.
U2
23:11
What color your cabinets? Right now
U1
23:13
they're white. Okay. So, I mean, honestly, I wouldn't mind just repainting them white, honestly, but to paint them I'd have to take them off. But I have like two doors that don't close all the way and it we will do it at Bugs. That shit. I hate
U2
23:28
it. Let me take a look at it, man. I learned a lot about some cabinetry. In fact, I'll bring my wife by next weekend, we're in town, and she can give you all the tips on what the type of paints, all that stuff. She's good with the colors. Would you let your kid pick any colors of your room?
U1
23:45
Yeah, I wouldn't mind. 2s It's his room, so I would let him pick any color he wanted. Unless it I don't know though, man. My brother, when we were young, he painted a room like dark purple and it was the ugly fucking thing, dude.
U2
24:04
I saw a condo with dark purple fake bricks. They did a faux brick wall and it was purple and I was like, I don't like the way that looks. That's funny because my kid, we let him decide on some room decoration, but we won't let him pick the colors because he can't even rinse out his bowls right. But he picks some Asian decor and my wife did his window well and he picked the lights. So we do like purple Led lights, but I'm not painting the walls purple so we can change those colors.
U1
24:29
So let me ask you this, does he know how to do dishes?
U2
24:35
He does. Not very well. Actually, you know what I should start off with is just teaching how to use the dishwasher. I think that's probably a good start.
U1
24:44
See, I don't have a dishwasher, but I know by eleven I was washing dishes at home. Oh
U2
24:50
yeah, I was doing that as a kid. Yeah, 100%. Oh.
U1
24:56
I don't know. Does your 1s have any chores? Does he have chores and
U2
25:01
just picks up dog poop and takes out the garbage? 1s I have to pick up the dog poop. My son I can cut the grass. Maybe I should him do the dog poop and cut the grass. Right? That's how that should work.
U1
25:11
That's how it should work. Especially what I mean honestly, if anything I'd do the grass but his ass is picking up the dog
U2
25:19
shit. That I know. I'm getting a point though. I'm getting older now. 1s I find myself most of the do it yourself projects I'm like I'm doing it to help my kids do something, set something up, fix something. I'm getting a point now where my time? I don't have as much of it. So I'm hiring out projects. Like if I want something done, I would love to do my own bathroom. I would save a ton of money but I don't know, it would take me three months. Hire a contractor. You're probably doing a weekend.
U1
25:53
Well
U2
25:56
you have enough bathrooms to where if one's down.
U1
26:00
The house isn't going to fall apart.

That's what I'm saying. I grew up, my house had one bathroom, and now yeah, sort of. So I'm looking around now. This is like Melvindale Park, these smaller homes, these pop up homes from the I'm in Chicago looking around at condos and where I'm going to be by myself a couple of days a week. And I'm like, yeah, I don't think I want one bathroom. I need two.
U1
26:22
So this
U2
26:24
when I was growing up, I only had one bathroom too. I didn't even have a bathroom door. I had a sliding piece of plastic for a door.
U1
26:32
Dude, 1s I didn't have a real door in a bathroom till I was 15 years
U2
26:38
old. Did you watch your mom take dumps?
U1
26:42
No,
U2
26:44
sliding door was enough. But
U1
26:46
dude, it was like a
U2
26:48
curve. There's no blocking sound?
U1
26:51
No, it was a magnet. You heard it go
U2
26:54
click. Oh, man. I don't know if I can handle listening to my mom take a big dump. Dude, you wouldn't listen. You're smell like you're all someone's thinking of shit.
U1
27:05
Let's go put our ear to the door. And you can't if you'd
U2
27:08
fall through it. So back in the day, we didn't have these bathroom fans either. I don't remember that. Did remember moving into a house where my dad had 1s to pull up carpeting from a bathroom. Can you imagine carpeting in a bathroom? It was master bathroom. And he had carpeting. And he had a phone right next to the toilet, too. I thought that was a gross thing. Imagine calling somebody, you're like, hey, what's up, man? I'm on the toilet. But now with cell phones, that's every day. 1s Well, you know what, though? The thing here is that you're mentioning bathrooms. And it's funny because
U1
27:45
before I had this house, I pretty much lived in apartments. Right?
U2
27:49
Well, yeah, that's how we all start, right,
U1
27:52
right. But so I'm used to
U2
27:56
a bedroom with a bathroom in it. So if I was to move from here, I don't think to
U1
28:05
survive without a bathroom in my bedroom with as much as I get up to use the pisser. Now
U2
28:10
I'm the same way deal with no community bathroom. Not back in the Air Force.
U1
28:15
We're not community. I mean, usually a house has one and a half. That's normal. We have three full baths in this house. I've never even showered in the bathroom downstairs.
U2
28:26
Never. Do you need to run the water? Because if you don't have water in the Ptrap, those sewer gases leak in and they just make your bathroom stink 2s when I flush it. I have to do that and run the baths in my house that aren't used in a couple of months. 1s Because 2s like I said, the pTRAp dries up and all the sewer gases come up. 1s I do YouTube that. That's
U1
28:57
what I'll do. After I leave here, that's the first thing I'm going to do is I'll run that shower. First time it's ever ran in 8910. Eleven years. Oh,
U2
29:06
my gosh. Tell me if it's brown water. I'll tell you what, though. I'm going to get to point. Once I get all settled in with this Chicago thing and this condo and come back, I'll do my bathroom spot. I'm probably just going to hire somebody to do it this fall or the winter 1s because I've been doing everything to this house myself. And like I said, at some point I'm just going to throw money at it because I don't have the time. Last time I hired a contractor, this when somebody drove through my house. It turns out I don't know how to fix a house in a garage in bricks when somebody, a drunk driver drives in into your house.
U1
29:45
I still don't believe that story. That's crazy.
U2
29:47
I wish I was making it up. It.
U1
29:51
Yeah, but you say you don't have time now. But 1s it's a new position.
U2
29:58
You know what I do in my spare
U1
29:59
time? Couple months, my spare time?
U2
30:02
I'm talking to you. We're doing this podcast and I lift weights and I don't play video games. Spoiler. And I still haven't played any video games, even though I said I was going to. 1s Maybe tonight it
U1
30:17
why not take a system with you?
U2
30:21
I'm taking my switch with me. My oldest son, he got me the new Zelda game and
U1
30:27
I'm like, I heard that's pretty dope.
U2
30:30
I
U1
30:31
haven't played it yet. We have a switch downstairs. It has a
U2
30:34
three year backlog of games. I haven't even played the first Zelda or what's? Breath of the wild. Had it for three years. Yeah, 2s I bought them the switch for Christmas a couple of years ago. Dude, the guys used it like ten times. So it's funny because a couple of months ago I was like, I'm going to sell it. Well, he's seen over my shoulder. 2s So that day, he went down there and started playing, and I'm like, what are you doing? I'm going to start playing it more now. Why? Because I said, Well, I'm going to sell it. No, you can't sell it.
U1
31:12
I said, you don't use it.
U2
31:15
Oh, my God. It
U1
31:16
just sits there. 1s It's portable. I said, Take it to your mom's. It's portable. Get a game that you road
U2
31:24
trips. You sell. You do. Ebay Facebook, marketplace.
U1
31:29
No, I would have done Marketplace.
U2
31:32
I was like, I can't facebook Marketplace. I can give you about I got about 100 DVDs I don't know what to do with. I give them to you. You can either watch them or sell them. I don't know,
U1
31:42
dude. I don't watch DVDs. I have I don't think there's a
U2
31:45
market. I don't
U1
31:46
know. No, I don't think so either. And now you can stream
U2
31:51
everything. Don't sell your video games. Give me the first offer.
U1
31:56
I always do.
U2
31:57
I was like, I still collect those bad boys.
U1
32:01
I know you do. 2s I always keep my eye open for you when I go to the flea market.
U2
32:07
I had somebody it's funny you mentioned that, because I had my brother and sister in law in Montana call me up, and they're like, hey, there's a good deal on PS two. PS Three games, got me 20, $30 a game. So it's like, sweet. 2s Hey, so we could wrap this up so you can go visit your family.
U1
32:25
Oh, dude, I'm not worried about
U2
32:26
dude, you don't want to visit your family? Wait, you pick it up your
U1
32:30
son later. Yeah, well, I'm picking them up before I go to my mom's, okay?
U2
32:37
I'm going to be there about two. I'll be there about 230, and then I'll drop him back off five or six. And then
U1
32:45
if I don't work, I'll pick him up Friday. But if I do work, he'll just stay with his mom and I'll get him
U2
32:51
Sunday. No worries. 1s I'll be in town around till Sunday, so I'll probably see him. Well, I got to go packing. I got to go to Chicago. But I do have a joke for you, kind of.
U1
33:07
I thought we
U2
33:07
were going to DIY. Money saving tip. Do you know how you can turn an ordinary old sofa into a sofa bed? 3s You can do that by forgetting your anniversary. So be sure to follow me for more di.
U1
33:25
Now that one's pretty good. That one's okay. That one's okay.
U2
33:30
Oh, thank you. Thank you. My Google skills are on point. I didn't make that up, by the way.
U1
33:35
You didn't make that up. I looked that
U2
33:37
up. You
U1
33:38
looked that up? Yeah. So do you have a special
U2
33:41
website? It's called Google.
U1
33:44
That's it. Just hey, Google, give me the best. I would say, I go and wake up every morning, and while I'm getting my coffee, I say, I got one of those nest cams or, I don't know, Google assistants, whatever. I don't even call them in my kitchen. I was like, hey, Google. Good morning. Tell me a joke. And so they always tell me a joke. Like, this morning, they told me 1s how to get your handkerchief to dance. You just put a little boogie in it. I'm like, I've already heard it. 1s You do what?
U2
34:17
You put a little boogie in it's bad. Listen, don't hate. All right, man. 1s All right. I'll wrap this
U1
34:33
up. Till next time. You go have a good week. Drive safe, my friend. We will talk this week or see you Friday and maybe Saturday.
U2
34:45
Hala see ya.
