We were talking about yesterday how no one else knows though. He's like, "Theing death people." Remember, if you if you grew up if you grew up if you grew up in the '9s and you go out to eat at restaurants, there's always this these death people that will come out with keychains and they will walk around the the table and they leave the keychain

2:34 and you would pick it up and it goes, "Hey, please help me out. Um, buy this keychain and support my deafness." And then they walk they walk back around and you either pay them or they take the keychain back. And I just realized yesterday they haven't there hasn't been these guys in a long time. So I think they cured them. I like that the problem's like what happened in the last 10 years. This guy's like, "Yo, back in the '9s." Is the '90s 10 years ago? No, it's like 20 It's like 30 years ago. Hey, 2015 is 10 years ago. Yeah, Spam's good, dude. Spam is undefeated. Spam is really good. How do you like that bolo bow? 2015. Hey, 2015 is 10 years ago. But it feels like five because I think co I think co bro this

The time. Come on, brother. Come on, brother. Or we just getting older. No, it's the time, dude. I think everybody lost. Okay, you got to try Nick's cauldron, dude. Here, come. Come eat this. Take a hit. Come take a spoon. You guys don't eat kanji like that? No, I never put chili oil in there like that. Really good. Chili oil. You got that cheery. Do you like Taiwanese breakfast, Bart? Uh, here and there. Oh my god. Have you had the the the the soy milk soup with the uh the savory version? Oh, yeah. I like that one. See, like I when I go get Chinese like that one, I like

4:17 the the savory one. I regret my choice in life. I should have got ████ We got Hey, we got another one though. We got another one. Wait, what? Why you got two? Cuz he wanted two bowls. Bows. We couldn't We couldn't figure it out without it. Now I know, dude. Beef kanji. That's the move. That's the move. 2020, 2021, 2022, and maybe 2023 feels like one year. Mhm. Honestly, it does, dude. It does. That's why 10 years doesn't feel like 10, dude. Yeah, it does. It does feel like that. It does feel like we got blipped out. Yeah, the snack. And we're still ████ recovering still. Yeah, there's still residue. No, no. like the feelings like I can't wait till we go back to where people could be politically open and people aren't trying to kill each

5:07 other. Yeah, cuz it's going to take a while to swing that way. Before it was it was like someone voted for Clinton, someone voted for like George W and they're like, "Ah, why would you do that?" H whatever. It's like civil. Barely. Yeah. Bar people barely fought about that. These days it's like I'll kill you. People be like, "Oh, I can't believe you guys want to eat a baby." And it's like, "What the f███?" Yeah. Now it's like I This is why I stopped talking to my brother. Like what? Since when? Get out of hand. Yeah. Since when was family like less than politics? I think just everyone's just way more on edge about it. Seriously. People just take it so hard. I'm going to get some chili crunch. Yeah. I can't wait till we ████ go back to normal. Normal, you know, random things like payoneses are not as prevalent. Beepers. You miss beepers. Pennies on the floor. Remember when you find pennies on the floor? That's true, huh? Oh, yeah. No more cash. I barely see cash. I found five bucks the other day on the floor. What?

5:57 That was random. Shut the ████ up. Where were you? So, we have a gym, the new gym that we're at. Right next to it is a cash only dispensary. So, I was like, "Oh, I think that's why I found five bucks on the floor." Makes sense. It makes a ton of sense. It has to be a cash run business where people just have cash on a regular basis. Um, but um 10 years ago, damn, I'm really not that observant. What happened 10 years ago? I honestly missed the Blockbuster experience. Yeah, that's more than 10 years, dude. Sound like a good We got to do 10 years. 2015. 2015. Yeah, that's 10 years. Can we do 20 years? Cuz No. Whatever you want, guys. Cuz 2015 feels like yesterday. Mhm. So, it's harder to remember like, wait a minute,

6:48 we don't do that no more. Especially when you're ████ 40. You're still trying to I'm still trying to adapt to ████ like Ludicrous not rapping and ████ I'm slow to think. We were 30, dude. We were 30 in 2015. I'm still like trying to figure out like how to use the ox cable and ████ Like you can't be moving that fast on me, dude. Man, you know what I don't miss is back when Bluetooth was like s█████ and like Yeah. so bad. Yeah. Now it's so And now it's I work at the hotel. Yeah. Now it's so good. So good. Connectivities. Everything's much faster now. Oh my god. What about the little mechanical rides for kids at grocery stores? Oh, 25 seconds. You said 10 years. That's like 100 years ago. You literally just said, "Can we do 20 years?" Did you say yes? Yeah. So, we

7:39 can do whatever we want. Can I get the chili crunch? Oh, over there. You got the chili crunch? I those every now and then you'll find one and they still have the same charm cuz Tao will want to ride it. Really? Yeah. He won't be like you remember like when you're a kid and if you saw your parents or your grandparents toys you're like what the ████ people played with that ████ Those rides still have that kind of charm. So he'll be like, "Oh, can I have 25 cents?" Damn. Those rides low kind of boring. What? The the those where you put a quarter in and you just do that. Yeah. at your age. You've been on Space Mountain, dude. You can't compare that to anything. But Crane Games at this age, still fun. Still hits. Yeah. Yeah. Crane Games. Yeah. I get mad cuz I feel like it's a scam. I don't like It is a scam, dude. I

8:29 look at Crane Games and I go, "Man, ████ this." And I can't I can't stop thinking about what Ryan said when he installed the Crane Yep. machine and he's like, "Oh, you could just grab anything with this. You just have to change the setting." And I'm like, "Oh, so they're just jipping us." Mhm. Actually, we went to Dave and Busters cuz uh my sister's boyfriend wanted to go for his birthday, so we went. How old is he? He's he's older. He's like 39 or something like that. He was like, "Hey, let's just go family, you know, let's just go hang out." But you go and the whole time you're like, "Damn Busters is a scam, dog." No way. It's fun. Yeah, but if you're if you have a kid Oh, but if you're just like adults, all just go on. You're like, "For kids? I thought it was just adult." Not true. I just went to Dave and Busters for an all adults birthday thing and dude it's still pretty fun. There's a lot of games like the the basketball one is really fun. Am I turning into old person? It's for kids

9:19 too, dude. There's a game where you just ripping us off. That's what I just kept saying the whole time. Dude, you get a baseball and you ████ see how fast you can chuck it. Have you ever played that one? Yeah, dude. That one's fun. Maybe what it is too is like I think I'll do better at the games and then I see the score and I go man. I think it's because you have to be on alcohol. Yeah, you got to be drunk a little bit if you're not doing the alcohol here. Start drinking cuz it seems like a lot more fun. I I do get a little envious when people drink and I'm like, man, I'll never feel that. I'm okay with it, though. Drinking is kind of fun. It kind of is. So, what are the things that they found that's 10 years ago that we don't do no more? I mean, that's the whole conversation. There's no like correct answers. Depends on your Or what do they notice? Cuz I don't notice that much. Uh DVDs. DVDs. That's what I'm saying. I missed the whole Blockbuster Hollywood video experience. I remember when me and

10:09 Jill first started dating, we could we would always look forward to I think it was like Friday nights we would go and then we already get comfortable. So, we're already in like our pajamas or sweatpants or a hoodie or whatever. We go there, we walk around, pick a couple of movies that we like and then in the aisle, you know, if they always put the the movie friendly snacks. Mhm. So, it's like this whole experience and you go home and you know you're going to bang out like two movies or whatever. I thought you say something else. Yeah, I thought you were going. Hey, but but weren't weren't we already streaming 10 years ago? Like we weren't getting red box and ████ No, but you said we could change it to 20 years. He says you do whatever. Just fun conversation, Joe. Well, you know what I don't hear about as much anymore is Blu-rays. I don't hear about Blu-rays anymore. I said fun conversation. Can we were getting Blockbuster in 20 years

11:01 ago? Yeah. In our 20s. In our 20s. Yeah. Dude, I haven't heard anybody mention the thought of Blu-ray in so long. That's go Yeah. And you get these movies and then you get snacks and ████ Oh man. HD DVD. HD DVD. I remember that. That ████ was fun. Early The only problem is when you're in your 20s, you're not responsible. No. So you watch the movies and you forget to return them and then later you return it and you're like, "F███, I ████ owe $80 cuz I rented Ace Ventur." You're like, "God damn it." I remember back in the day you used to have to like part of the courtesy was you have to rewind the movie after you're done watching it. So then you return it. What? What a concept that like anytime your parents would be like, "All right, we're going to Blockbuster or Hollywood

11:51 Video or whatever, that would make your whole night as a kid." That was everything. Like what the expensive rental was what, like five bucks at the time. So it's like 10 bucks if you wanted two movies and the whole family's entertained for like a Friday night. The video store we went to was one of those mom and pop shop ones and it was with porn in the back. Yeah. And it was a dollar per uh VHS. But imagine if you could satisfy your entire family's happiness. Yeah. For 10 bucks today with a Little Caesars pizza. Come on. You can't do Little Caesars like that. You can do Little Caesars. You can do it. Movie and a pizza. Yeah. What would be the equivalent today? Like to replace the blockbuster experience. Honestly, Tik Tok, bro. I feel like all the kids are just on a Tik Tok. For a kid. For a kid. Yeah. In 2025, for a kid to be happy, they need to have their own cell phone and an iPad and a ████ TV.

12:42 Headphones. Headphones while watching someone else stream. That's how much stimulation they need. Damn. The modern day kid is crazy, dude. A lot. Can't just give them like a new ball. Not a 25 kid. Not a 2025 kid, dude. ████ things that you can just chuck at the wall and they stick and slowly like come down and stuff. Oh yeah. 2025 modern kid, they need ████ hella stimulation. That's crazy. Like you go to restaurants and stuff and you see kids, man, they're ████ like they don't even know what's happening. They're like coming into the restaurant even know what's happening. They're like 30 like this. Let's see right here. And they just ████ have chicken tenders and like chicken tenders. It is true. Like they are they don't know they're eating with their uncle. They don't know anything. And that's also because the parents are just it's their one break. So they're just like iPad

13:33 time. Yeah. Damn. ████ yeah. That's gonna be crazy. Crazy. So no one's going to talk to each other in the future then probably. Well, not not directly. Like I might as well just digitally look at your avatar even though we're sitting right here with each other. Well, we're eating here though. Like imagine that. That's when we eat at home. There's no iPad, no TV. We sit and we eat and talk and hang out as a family. Eating at your home. The TV was on. We're watching UFC. That's cuz it's UFC night. That's different. All hell breaks loose. You know what's interesting? That's happening with my parents right now cuz like they just discovered like Facebook and all this stuff like a few years ago. They're internet addicts now. So when I'm at the dinner table with them, it's them on their phones. The opposite. I'm just like, damn. This is what it's like now. It's weird. Hey, mom. How was your day? Shut up. Yeah. She's like watching her

14:24 YouTube shows and like my dad's just like on Facebook. I'm like, dude, that's crazy that it's not just kids, it's also seniors as well, cuz this is all new to them and they're so hooked on it, you know? Everyone's algo is so stimulating. It's too good. Their algorithm, you can't compete with like regular movies and TV nowadays. Like, it has to be really good. Yeah. For you to be able to peel your eyes off your phone to watch something else. Like, that's how crazy it is now. It's a skill, dude, to ████ put your phone down, dude. It's It's what everyone talks about now. Like every like motivational thing everyone's saying is like just put your phones down, focus on something else besides your phone. Dude, my autistic niece who doesn't speak, right? It's like of course it's like daily tasks, regular things like you know you need to help her whether it's like getting her plate of food together to like, you know, putting her clothes on in a certain way

15:14 or keeping her socks on or getting her seated, whatever. But the second the iPad comes in, she could literally her foot dexterity. She holds the iPad with her ████ foot and she has the most like ████ dexterity with her hand and she can like precision press or move the cursor or X something out or scroll quickly until she finds exactly the right color thumbnail to press it and stuff like that to watch a blip. Did you tell her stop uh faking it? You can't talk to her, dude. Oh, but like you can you like stop faking it, dude. You could clearly ████ move. That's faking. It's crazy. She's so flexible, too. Like literally her foot's like on her face, but like holding the iPad with her toes and stuff. So, she has two hands available in case she wants to like Damn. Whoa. She's a wizard with it. It's wild. It's wild. But like she's so intelligent when it comes to understanding how to process that. Wow. That might be Wow. I think Tao knew

16:07 how to use like a iPad before he even really like spoke full sentences. Yeah. cuz we would just play like lullabies or twinkle twinkle little star and he just started intuitively understanding swiping this pressing this. Oh my god, I forgot we had those ████ ████ Eat that. He's like ████ whatever. Give me that. Hey, can I try this chain or what? Yeah. [Music] Woo. And it fully melted. Jesus Christ. Come on. Come on.
