The Shakedown with Shooter and Mac G
Newly acquainted bros with nothing better to do after work so we decide to try this podcast stuff. We'll be having daily discussions about various topics from current events to whatever is on our minds. Let's get real and hopefully have a few laughs along the way.
The Shakedown with Shooter and Mac G
Trek Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself
A cart gets stolen, a six-pack turns into a 30-pack, and suddenly we’re staring at the real reason small annoyances blow up our day. That’s our doorway into a bigger conversation about boundaries, burnout, and the quiet skill of catching yourself before your mood runs the show. We keep it funny, but we keep it honest—because grocery lines, shop floors, and shutdown headlines are where emotional control actually gets tested.
We riff on chivalry without getting preachy. Courtesy still matters, but context matters more: when to offer your seat, when to let independence be, and how to share space without making it a performance. From there we zoom out to the policy noise—stimulus rumors, EBT stress, the weird math of beer prices—and talk about making clear choices when cash and patience are limited. At work, we get real about ignored maintenance, broken timers, and the toll of repeating the same warning ten times. Document, protect your energy, and let your actions set the standard when the system won’t.
There’s a candid segment on weed vs. alcohol, workplace testing, and safety. No glamorizing, just a call for consistent rules that focus on impairment, not stigma. We detour through wildlife near-misses and mountain highways, because life’s beautiful and ridiculous at once, and it helps to laugh while you stay alert. Creativity threads through it all—music gear, masks for stage fright, ghostwriting, and building projects that fit your temperament. As the holidays approach, we trade pressure for presence: simple menus, gratitude, and a reminder that solitude can still be a celebration when you honor it with intention.
Hit play for humor with a backbone, stories that feel like your day, and practical ways to reset before you blow a fuse. If this resonated, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a breather, and drop a review to help more people find the show.

things people go to uh to the extent to keep people away from them sounds like a man that has it all right there bro has it all figured out yeah he ain't running out of teepee that's for sure or being bothered by people yeah I didn't want to bother him as a matter of fact I went to the next line bro I went to the next line I said that's right there's a reason why I keep a uh what I call my fashion

one ear you say look at this guy throw his ass up well you know it's a survival of the fittest my friend pretty much pretty much but no it's uh you know I can't complain man you know it's just damn dude I I was just trying to go about my business bro you you know when you like you got something set in your head you're like alright I'm gonna go in this grocery store I'm gonna get my stuff and I'm gonna bounce you know what I mean and you're like you're like one direction right and then somebody comes and just hits you with a curve on now that fucks up your whole thing bro I didn't even get my I didn't I was supposed to get like bread I was supposed to get you know what I'm gonna put to see like this from my end I used to be like that too I'm sorry I didn't mean to no no no no you're good you're gonna be like what go ahead go ahead no go ahead go ahead no no bro that's it bro that's it bro I'm tired of this shit bro I'm tired of you all right go ahead we just get to start out early but I don't get bro is like it was a dude bro like why you know it's a dude but I don't know for me personally if I'm gonna go out and about and interact let anybody just fuck up my mode and just like fucked up my whole mode dude I'm not gonna let a dude do it dude as a matter of fact my rule is this if it's a female or a little kid maybe I'll stop and think about it ask some questions before I ask him a question yeah what you but if it's a dude the fuck you asking me for exactly dude that's what I'm saying yeah he's like do you speak English they're just as c they're just as capable as you are bro they have the world pitted up against them just as much as you do and I'm and if they have it more it's because they put themselves in that situation.
SPEAKER_02:And it's true because uh the older I get the more I realize the choices we make to really do affect our future you know it's it's like to me it's like this is this I've always been a firm believer of uh if if the ship is sinking men or men women and children first.
SPEAKER_03:Fuck them kids now you know what I'm saying no yeah yeah I hear you I hear you that that and I'm not gonna lie mainly you know the persuasion of pussy for me yeah that'll give me the stop and be like what's up you wanna go go ahead baby I'll see you down there I'll see you down there if not remember me remember me you know saying they might write songs about me you know what I'm saying the man on the ship you never know but uh at least I'll have that pussy whistling Dixie but the thing is bro look nowadays is chivalry dead uh I mean what do you mean by shivery chivalry is like uh when a person does a good thing for a woman with it with that or is that like no no yeah like like men towards a female yeah yeah like being being being like opening the door buying flowers no no I mean it should it shouldn't be dead it shouldn't be uh I think more than anything it's definitely getting to know you tactic but once you know you once you obviously once you what maybe she's in her second trimester maybe that she goes out the what is this uh what trimester what are we doing here uh like class when she's got when she's got your sheet up all up in her stop buying the flowers stop holding the door yeah all that all that goes out the window shit to give him bro yeah no doubt that shit a lot no doubt no doubt no doubt you know but it's it's like I I feel like you're right though like I feel like after a while being with somebody you kind of we kind of stopped doing a little bit of those things and I feel like once in a while it's good to just kind of you know like on a random day after it doesn't have to be Valentine's Day it could just be a random day maybe just bring some flowers or bring some Burger King I noticed that if they say no when they when you bring food like just bring them food.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah I you know who you know like I love my my mom why wouldn't you I mean uh I mean if you already kind of know I would like to think that once you get to know somebody so well you would just get them in get them whatever even you don't have to ask you you just go and get it for them.
SPEAKER_03:You know? It's just it's it's it's fun sometimes you know like when you you know kind of at each other's neck and you know you kind of make up and all that good stuff. You know but I just think bro because um a lot of I I hear a lot about and I'm all for equal pay and everything. You know what I mean? But I feel like some like like even for guys I don't know what it's like to go through pregnancy so I'm not gonna sit there and and and you know that's just that shit looks like it's I don't know what it's like either but I've put them by born I I've borne witness and believe me it's I don't yeah you know what I mean so I've you know that's like one of their strengths bro but it's beared witness I guess is the best way to say it yeah yeah you know it's just um I see videos where like some women don't get mad because they're on a train or a bus and no guy wants to get up for them and it's just I don't know bro like I get it but it's just sometimes it's this whole they're independent.
SPEAKER_02:The second time of me doing that and getting up and then the woman saying no and then another just straight up taking the seat it's like yeah bro you know what I mean? Yeah you know no I had to have like hey you know you can have my seat and then no it's fine I'll stand oh I'll you know I get it I'm not gonna go back and somebody yeah yeah like like they and then they look at you like you want to sit on my lap no they do not want to sit on your lap dude no you're good but even Santa Claus dude like I was like yo I don't know I'm at the mall I don't know about this guy dude I don't want to sit a take a picture with him nah I don't know he smells like beer you know but I don't know I don't I never celebrated I don't celebrate Christmas so really yeah I've never sat on Santa's lap so I'm not joking well when you say it like that is no no I mean it's I'm I'm serious I've never you just don't like it yeah that and we don't we never I just really didn't seven that day seventh day adventures don't celebrate Christmas true true no I hear you on that one I hear on that one but Thanksgiving's uh coming up that was a good one I feel bad for I'm pretty sure if a lot of people were depending on that uh those EBTs and everything well I mean that's what I understand too dude should know that he might not get no EBTs why is he so why is he trying to buy a beer with when you're thirsty the thirst calls apparently for me dude I I literally a point when I had first moved into this new spot by myself I was scrapping up change just to buy a little bit of beer or pizza and I was walking around like the change man.
SPEAKER_03:I got change for you I got change for you. Yeah they were looking at me like I'm crazy. I was like yo how much for a slice of pizza fries in the drink they're like$10 like you guys take change as long as it's all there. I dumped the whole little thing of change on there they're like hold on bro hold on you bringing us your whole piggy bang is all I got very I was hungry though but you know I don't know I mean the the I like Yeah I mean I've done that before you know I ain't no shame in my game when it comes to change we all need change right like Barack Obama said C C Puede out there man with the holidays and everything with the government shutdown being back in order but even still you know then you got these uh these files that are coming out and who knows what's going on yeah the files uh the X Files the Trump files yeah those two those two people aren't ready for the truth you know I mean I think people already know the truth I just don't think they want to accept it it's just the majority is lying to themselves yeah or they know and they don't really don't care because at this point it's like so what yeah you know it's like fuck it what can we do I mean shit's already done happen shit's already in motion don't rock the boat we're already what like almost halfway through this I think so this whole situation yeah pretty much I mean it's almost the end of the year so that's crazy though how a whole year almost just flew by like that.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah but when did he take office? Oh the beginning of this year huh? I'm pretty sure it was the beginning of yeah so I guess we got like three three years left.
SPEAKER_03:Three years left of him? Yeah really if you just took office yeah nah he just took office this year it feels like no dude no no no 24 it was 24 wasn't he's he's this is his last year no no no this is his second year oh I think he has one more year now two more years two how many years does the president get a four year term Jesus Christ no wonder they only get two it's like three and a half or like three but you know with like the lame ducks and all that bullshit when you think about it but whatever that's crazy no wonder these guys only get two years I mean uh uh two terms yeah I think it's always been four year terms the last person to do it I think got elected like four times I think one person got elected like seven times damn seven times that's uh seven times four that's almost a decade that's 21 that's that's more than that's like two decades that's 28 years I think it might have been 28 years of the same guy for yo bro that mother bro they need a change after that dude I think you're no it might have been three terms it might have been three terms I don't no no seven fourteen no no no no I was I was okay no no so four terms twelve years yeah that's like a decade my bad yeah over three years like a like a like a like a package of eggs let me get a dozen dozen yeah let me get a dozen you know saying 12 that's weird though a dozen is 12 whoever came up with that like yo eggs dozen twelve donuts like I was telling you in Europe they used to weigh people by the stone you used to used to mean a certain weight damn bro all grow up there with like 200 stones the buff face layer yeah I think like a stone was like 30 something pounds or something like that Jesus dude the things people used to weigh shit with huh I was like what the fuck dude I seen one uh this girl walks into a a car dealership and she goes uh I need something that goes from zero to a hundred real quick guy says let me get the scale for you real quick poor girl she never went back to that dealership again real quick you know that's actually pretty funny that's fucked up yeah it's funny yeah no dude but uh everybody needs loving you know I just want to uh tell people you know we want we wanna we came from our roots we're uh we're all about good health here and mental health and uh especially ment's health because uh I it's not really taken seriously and I know sometimes uh we could lose it you know so you better check yourself before you wreck yourself as my boy Ice Cube likes to say yep yep you know yeah man I mean you know like I said uh you my philosophy's always been you know sometimes you just need to let it out bro yeah that and uh so I'm not sure what the statistics are I gotta look that up and really do some research but I feel like nowadays they're more men are supposedly a little bit more like not lonely but more to themselves not as more marriage or kids like you know back in the day dude most people had kids at what like 25 were married at 21 or whatever yeah I got married at 21 yeah you know what I mean kids about at about 22 23 you know some of these guys damn near in the army by 18 and shit coming back 25 we've been damn near got bodies for days and but I mean that was way long before when the draft was around hopefully they don't bring that motherfucker back bro because I feel like nowadays it's it's a different kind of war it's more like yeah we still it's a physical war but it's more of a technology they'll bring it back you think so yeah I hope not that shit was sucked though well it won't be the draft it'll be something else yeah like pick like a lottery like hey you you won the lottery I mean it used to be a lottery before that that ain't no winning lottery number though it used to be a lottery before that right before they could they called it a draft it was a lottery because it would be like lucky you uh they would pull out names like letters okay okay letters like if your letters like think I think like in world war or something or some shit like that where it's like uh the uh names starting with the letter M again Bro you know it's last name starting with the letter M.
SPEAKER_02:I'll be like my name my name is not Mitchell yeah it never forget I might I might be talking out of my ass like I said but like I'm pretty sure at one point or another that's how it was. You know before because you know that's why you have addresses and social security numbers and ID numbers and all that other stuff so that you can be per or like pinpointed identified you know to you specifically and talk before all that happened it was just like well let's do it by name by letter names you know motherfuckers fake internet like you were like you were in school or something you know but it was the whole nation oh hell no I uh depending on where it was happening.
SPEAKER_03:I seen a clip where they were saying back in the Vietnam days when dudes were uh smoking pot they were like it's so so accessible that uh every damn near all the soldiers were smoking pot that uh supposedly I I don't know if it was uh Ronald Reagan that was president at the time one uh whoever was president at the time was saying that if you came back with with THC in your system that they would leave you behind which was outrageous dude you send these kids out there to go they couldn't do that you you send these kids out there to kill but the moment they started smoking pot that's the problem they would yeah they would they can do that there there'd be sure so many problems so many rich that's ridiculous you know I feel like even today pot still has a bad like like it's okay to go to it's okay to get hammered the day before work. It's okay to do a a line or two a bump or two or whatever it is that they do but the moment you smoke pot bro oh hell no bro it's over with you know what I mean and the and the shitty part is that it stays in your system longer than some of these other things yep that's the shitty part bro yeah I'm not too worried about it at the moment no no I hear you but I'm just saying like I had my my scares and worries yeah no but it's just it's it's ridiculous dude you know and it's proven like I'm not saying nobody should get behind the wheel after slapping like 10 rips or like five bow hits and shit. Nobody, you know what I mean? Everybody should drive safe and and sober for sure dude but obviously I mean they done the test before you put a couple of stoners in one room you put a couple of drunks in another room you know and the thing is I feel like five times out of there's always gonna be that one drunk that'll that one mean drunk. You know what I mean? In a room full of like five people and and then you put five stoners together I don't really I think it's kind of hard to get mad off of off of just just pot you know what I mean like when you're chief in pot what's this what's it called uh what was this called smells like some some Reggie what the hell is it called you know Mexico I went to Mexico do they sell I forgot I think I told you yesterday it's uh from it's the holy grail damn I forgot the brand too I don't know lately I've been getting some Alzheimer's like a motherfucker oh probably um high supply high supply is high supply yeah yeah high supply is decent they come you know I remember back in the day bro you used to just get it and they'd be like man this some Houdini I don't care what it's called bro just just give me my shit just give me my shit dude now you go they got like all the thing I don't like it's all Mexican brickweed to me bro exactly dude what I don't like is that they don't let you see it before you buy it you know compared to like other places yeah Colorado there's places in Colorado Star bud never usually lets you see it no they'll have like they'll have samples I mean this place doesn't but like in Colorado they usually have yeah this even the Star buds they'll have jars on the top shelf if you want to take a look at it they'll they'll pull it off for you and so you can take a look at it before you get it because a lot of it's all actually all of it's all pre-packaged yeah sealed packaged and all that stuff and that's you can also go into the Star buds over there and buy clones where in Colorado and seeds because there's you can't do that you can't do that here. No you can't there's male and female seeds ain't it yeah but they they they already their hand pick seeds so they know what's what oh you know which one sounds super fire dude that I haven't heard of for such a long time like White Widow. I I I really I'm really some Afghan dude Afghan's pretty good anything Afghan yeah you can probably find that stuff in up there though yeah dude now you're not you're not lying when I was up there you could find that shit here but here dude you just because um yeah I had I had uh friends that knew how to grow that had some strains with that well you uh the thing about growing a plant bro especially those kind of plants you really had to I mean they have little things where they it kind of takes care of it themselves but I feel like if you're if you're there taking care of it and you're kind of making sure it's nicely trimmed and everything it's I I feel like it's just gonna smoke a little bit better. You know what I mean? Compared to just leaving it in a controlled environment which was still gonna give you the what you the results. Yeah. You know because I n sh I seen you know back in the day dude when recreational was big there was always a lot of like documents on Netflix and stuff like that and you know not so many now. You can still find some but it's big business. It's big business. I think it's bigger than tobacco bigger than a lot of things right now.
SPEAKER_02:Oh yeah of course I mean uh especially up in Colorado but usually anywhere and it's you know like I've told you before big like the taxes that the the state makes from from weed up there you can definitely tell where it's going because the the roads up there are pretty awesome and so are the schools. Oh yeah dude the road scared the hell out of me bro you'd be up in the mountains and you look down to the side some of these some of these streets don't even have barricades like on the side I'm like dude oh no well I mean yeah that was I mean nowadays yeah they they work on that but it all depends too on the county and the city and all that stuff but I'm usually talking about like like the major highways if you they're always in development and they're always upgrading and adding new lanes and stuff like that.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah no I'm not gonna lie out there in Colorado dude some beautiful highways because of the scenery. You know you're just out there in the middle of the mountains and everything. I'm not gonna lie though I be seeing a lot of like red stretch marks from deers or whatever they be crossing and it's like damn bro. You know what pisses me off bro you know what really pisses me off? Squirrels. Squirrels dude squirrels were literally I'm driving dude on a squirrel just jumps in front of my car and just like dude do you want to die?

Maybe we could have a monkey, a little monkey, a little capuchin. You know what we could have? A raven and go steal some money.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, well, I mean that's what I was talking about. Capuchin. Capuchin's do the same thing if you train. Capuchin? Capuchin? Cappuccino? Capuchin is like a little like the monkey on um Ace Ventura.

SPEAKER_02:Yeah, no, you can train those to do I mean people used buskers used to use them to make money on the streets.
SPEAKER_01:True, true.
SPEAKER_02:You can train them to pick pockets, you can train them to to sneak into people's houses. That's crazy.
SPEAKER_03:Imagine imagine you wake up then and there's just one of those in your house taking a shit. What the hell? Train them like to sneak in and take jewelry. Yeah, who they gonna arrest? The monkey? I didn't train them to do that. This guy just went out there and started stealing shit. Yeah? That's why I put that thing there. Now I remember why I put that thing there. What? I get so close to this damn mic.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, no, you're good. I mean I've been keeping an eye on it, so you're good.
SPEAKER_03:But yeah, no, dude, I mean with Thanksgiving and I'm gonna figure it out here. No, it's all good. Don't worry about it. With Thanksgiving and everything coming around the corner, I know sometimes people can stress out. Just want to say take a breather, pack a pack a pack a punch, pack one, whatever the case may be.
SPEAKER_02:Whatever you gotta do, man.
SPEAKER_03:Are you still not smoking? Yeah, no, I gotta yeah, this uh I gotta see what's up with. You know, I I and I honestly I'm comfortable. It's just I feel like you know, they're not showing me no love. They ain't showing me no love out here. Yeah. Yeah, I mean that's everywhere. Yeah, but I mean, I have I I I would I wouldn't mind going somewhere else dealing with the same stuff for just a little bit more pain. You know, but we'll see how it works out. I mean that yet not yet, not yet. But I just want to be ready just in case, just in case I get, you know? Just in case I get that nice little update or you know, I do apply to some places and they're willing to take me and they say you know. Because like I said, I mean I I rather not.
SPEAKER_02:I rather not, but the way the way things are sometimes Oh, believe in me when I when I decide when I make that decision, believe me, nothing is gonna stop me from from leaving. Right. From doing what I have to do.
SPEAKER_03:Right. And and that's the thing. Especially because we live in a in a place where there's so many like little back factories back there and everything. And but I honestly it's just weird how things work out. Like it's like it's like you could go to the liquor store, buy some beer, you know, go to work the next day, and I don't see I mean I I guess I see the difference, but it's like kind of like the the the smoke shop is kind of the same to me. Like, I'm gonna go, I'm just going to get my little fix, you know. But I don't make the rules, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:I just yeah, I mean I I I just work on pallets and wash out trailer, so it's like, you know. Yeah, I need something to pass the day. Yeah, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_03:I hear you there. I hear you there, trust me. And me, dude. I'm just I I'm a real forgetful person, even if I don't smoke, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_02:Well, believe me, I am too, but it it's why you know if it was something if I was doing something more serious, I wouldn't be, so I wouldn't care. But yeah, but uh it's like I've said before, it's like I've I've already there's a reason why I have gray hair now, you know, and this has been gray since I was in my in my mid-20s, so and that's usually when I started my automotive career and all that stuff, so yeah. Yeah, dude, that's it was stress you out too. It's been definitely stressful, and now that the kids are older and I'm about to start a divorce and all that other stuff, it's like I think I'm a little bit more focused on just uh trying to be happy and just trying to stay healthy.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, and that's definitely one thing we like to promote here, you know, staying healthy and uh sometimes it sucks, dude, because um I have you know, I know people too that they just you know what, dude. I mean the pay is great, but it's it's just not worth it. You might have to take a dollar pay cut or whatever it may be. And I know people who could be like, you know what, well fuck it, I just don't mind.
SPEAKER_02:Do I actually do a lot less? Actually, not a lot less. I I get more of a better workout, well-rounded workout here. I'm out in the sun, I'm not underneath cars like I was in my last job. Yeah, and uh and and I mean my last job, my last permanent job, not the temp job that I had before we got this job, but um I'm not working with kids, you know. Grown adults? You know, yeah, I mean I am working with kids, but these are grown adult ass kids. Uh and but the the cool part is that no speaky, no speaky the language, you know what I mean? You know what's funny though, like no sprecking, at least is what I should say. It's usually what I tell them no sprecking, even though that's not really their language, but but but I know they understand it. Right, right. You're gonna be all German. I said, Yeah, but you know what I'm saying, right? Yeah, yeah. Come on, bro, don't act like they're not your neighbors, man. Hey, my neighbor. Fuck you. You ever seen that? Hey, buddy, don't call me buddy, friend. Don't call me friend, pal.
SPEAKER_03:But it's true, bro, because like even some like right, like even some people, right? Like, even some Mexican people don't get along with Puerto Ricans, bro. Or watermelons. Yeah, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_02:Or as I as I say uh watermelons.
SPEAKER_03:But uh, I mean I gotta I gotta I gotta my boy, he's cool, you know, but uh I understand sometimes, like and I'm just joking around.
SPEAKER_02:No, no, no. I'm just saying that you I don't know, bro. Are you not?
SPEAKER_03:But but yeah, no, dude.
SPEAKER_02:Um some of my favorite ants are uh are watermelons. I mean watermelons.
SPEAKER_03:I don't even get along with some of my own people sometimes, bro. I'm like, God dang it, bro. What the hell you doing here when I'm trying to shop? Damn, bro. I'm over here like you today. Look at that. Drying this shit up, bro. Put a whole corner in the game. I'm over there in the corner and shit. Like, I gotta smoke, bro. I gotta smoke. That was funny, bro. I'm not going, dude. I just know. I just know I'm not going, dude. I was this close to going, dude, because that water, bro. That water but that window, dude. I don't know. I don't know what it is about office water. I don't know. We need to get more, bro. That's that's all I know. Some more office water? That too. Yeah. Well, we need some like I need I man, you know, like I don't know, dog, but there's some more funguses among uses. That too. You know what I mean? That too, dude, because working in a shop sucks, bro. Shit sucks.
SPEAKER_02:I know, I know that has a lot to do with your little spaz out yesterday. I know that I know that that at least had half half half half of all that energy that was coming out of you, negative energy that was coming out of you, was having to do with the job. I know that much. Yeah, they be pissing me off over there, those guys.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, they uh you gotta tell these guys like three times and they still don't like all right you know what? You know what, dude? I I'm not I'm not even gonna say nothing no more, dude. I just just do my job. I'm just gonna do what I gotta do.
SPEAKER_02:I just act just as stupid as they do, bro. I just I just mirror their stupidity back at them, just so they can sit back and be like, and I've seen it caught them too. Like, you know what, you're right. I'm stupid. That's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_03:You cumulated uh quite an audience over there. I see it. Like they never seen somebody watching.
SPEAKER_02:That's the thing though, is it like it was dirty, like it was frozen, and I've told them like ten times. I've told them ten times since they fixed the timer, since they fucked up the timer, fixed it, but made it even worse, shortened the timer on the compressor. It wouldn't heat up anymore. Why would they do that though? I don't know, but you know, you gotta like when you hit the button, you gotta run to go hit the hit the gun or else it cuts off, I think, in like 10-15 seconds.
SPEAKER_01:God dang.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, yeah, dude. That shit used to stay warm, dude. Doesn't even turn no, but the thing is the if the heat doesn't turn on on it now. Since they fixed the the the comp the timer.
SPEAKER_03:I think someone's just like fixed and shortened the timer on it. Yeah, I think I think some people just like like I don't know what it is, dude, but like sometimes I I go dude, I go in the shop, I'm like, dude, it's cold. Why is the heater off? Everybody else got their heater on. I turned that I turned that motherfucker on, dude. No, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:But yeah, and so the thing was frozen. Bloody.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I seen that. So Yeah, I seen that. You don't have like a little uh mask or something?
SPEAKER_02:Like no, I don't yeah, I I got that uh yeah, I got that thing, but that's not the point of it like it's harder to clean off. Since it's frozen and it in those gaps you get like chunks of packed down ice from people rolling stuff out. True. And then the gun wasn't getting hot. So you're just blowing regular. So I had to stand there for a second trying to get the chunks to fly out because they weren't melting off. Because normally if when the gun when the gun gets hot, it's easier, it it just melts down and just runs down and melts the rest of the stuff down. But I was sitting there having to hit up your every rail to get the big chunks of ice out, the pack down ice that was all bloody. Right. That's good. I took a second, and I know that they were in a hurry because I know they were trying to pull the trailer out and all that other stuff, but but it's like, dude, what do you want me to do?
SPEAKER_03:I'm I I either you tell this guy to just pull out and come back, exactly or you wait for it. I know, I know that that's weird, dude. But it's like, okay, but they can catch the first time. Yeah, but that's weird, dude.
SPEAKER_02:Like I mean, it's like I told you, I told them like 10 times already, I did the the heater, heating elements now turning on on this thing.
SPEAKER_03:They don't dude. You know how many times I I told them about something and I know they but I I don't say nothing because look, I say it for my sake because look, I say it and I say, All right, I let you know now if something happens, don't come to me about no bullshit about why is this taking long or why did this happen. I told you why, yeah, and you didn't want to pay attention, you thought I was just talking on my ass? Okay, cool. Don't come to me when shit happens, dude. Right, right. That's the thing that pisses me off about you know what I mean? About some of these places, bro. So you know you're working at the bakery and shit like that. And I did that. That's like, okay, you want to know why things are happening with the reason? I'm telling you the reason, and you just show you just brush it off. Okay, fine. Don't fucking come to me, dude, when shit does happen again.
SPEAKER_02:That's the first thing they do.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, exactly. And and I don't even I don't even tell them no more because it's like, dude, what's the point? They're not gonna fucking listen to me. Okay, cool. But I'm all I care about is I say it to back myself up, to be like, I'm told I told you you didn't want to listen to me, you fucking brush me off. Okay, but I told you. I told you, dude. Yeah, and it's cool. Don't don't listen to me, don't pay attention to me, but don't like I said, you know, which is cool, bro. You know, your EVT, bro. I need that. You know? Some 30 beers, 30 peer. I need that, dude. You know, but it's all good, man.
SPEAKER_02:I mean uh you said you got a uh 30 pack, right? Dude, it went from But that's what he got. Was it 30 pack?
SPEAKER_03:At the end of everything, the whole like little trip that we took just to get to the beer aisle, it went from a six pack to a 12 pack. By the time we got to the to the beer aisle, let me get that 30 pack.
SPEAKER_02:And he got the 30 pack, though. Oh, he got the 30 pack. How much what what was it? Was it ice pack?
SPEAKER_03:I already it was it was some bogus ass beer, dude. It was like some straight it was like ice house almost. I think it was like yeah, some something like that to be an ice house. Yeah, it was something like that, right? But I already saw the price. I looked at this fool. I said, bro, the beer's$21.99. My steak is only$15. Well, make it make the make the math work. He's like, oh no, no, I'm gonna punch in my code.
SPEAKER_02:I'm gonna put$29.99 for$30. That was a dollar a beer?
SPEAKER_03:Damn near. This is Julasco's we're talking about. So they're taxing. I didn't want to throw, you know, shout out to Julasco's, but like an ice house? No, no, it wasn't Ice House, it was it was like Miller Life or some shit. You know what I mean? Like he was he was trying to he was trying to get bougie on me. Okay, okay. He was trying to get bougie on me, right?
SPEAKER_02:So even Miller's, I don't think that would be, I don't even think that would be 30 for 30 pack. I think that would be like 24.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, it was like 20, 20, 20, 21, or 21 bucks, 22, yeah, 20 bucks or something like that. But dude, Jewel's asco taxed him.

Yeah, that's shit's ass, dude. I I remember that's all I used to drink. That's why I got up to like 330 pounds. Yeah, that shit will put some weight on you. That's why I stopped drinking like six of them a day, dude. Every day, bro. After when when I got laid off and the economy hit and all that, yeah, it was bad.
SPEAKER_03:That would do the job. At least they had the little thing on the back of the cap. I think you can play like a game or something.
SPEAKER_02:Like, yeah, I'm not sure. I don't think they have it anymore. I don't think so either. It used to be um like symbols or whatever.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, you know what I mean? Like it's it's an eye with a mountain, like a pyramid on it. Yeah, he's trying to tell me. Yeah, he's trying to tell me you guys built a pyramid or something? Yeah, Numelati. Yeah. No, dude, hopefully, uh, you know, hopefully people keep subscribing and enjoying the show, and hopefully we could get something set up where we can make uh people can make contributions. Just to keep the just because uh because you know, I see you do have something over here. Uh little nice little piano uh boom box thingy.
SPEAKER_02:I forgot what it's called, but uh Yeah, I keep looking at it because I just noticed the the script on the back of it, bro. Hopefully. Look at it.
SPEAKER_03:What does it say?
SPEAKER_02:Eve Eve M vabe. M vabe. I thought it said M wave. M W A V E.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, I thought it says E A V A W. E Vave E V E V You see how it says E A V A W? Oh, no, no, no. Oh, what you talking about? Oh, you talking about this? Yeah, yeah. Well you're looking at it upside down.

SPEAKER_02:So what the hell's going on? Yeah, M wave, yeah. No, M M V Exactly. That does say M M wave, but it says M vabe.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, M wave.
SPEAKER_02:It does look like a cassette M wave. Fucking Timu, bro. Fucking Timu, dude. Hey, you know, they got some.
SPEAKER_03:I mean, don't get me wrong, it works decent. So far, so good. I mean, the beat sound when you were messing with it, it sounded like it could make some good beats. It's decent. You know, hopefully maybe you could give us a little review and whatnot, or we could hear some beats up soon. But you know, I think people really, especially when we get older, I think it's good to find a hobby.
SPEAKER_02:Well, I mean, this isn't really hasn't been I guess you could call it a hobby. I mean it's been a passion for me, you know, since I've been playing music since fucking fifth grade, bro. That's a long time. I'm talking like been playing in orchestra since sixth grade all the way through high uh all the way into high school.
SPEAKER_03:All five years of high school. I wasn't really a big fan of uh well I for high school they made me do choir. You know, you sing there and you fucking high notes and all that. I was not a big fan of that.
SPEAKER_02:I did that too. Not a big fan. In middle school and in high school, in the middle.
SPEAKER_03:I wanted to learn how to play like the drums or something. I did uh jazz band too. Jazz band, eh? Real jazz band. Yeah, played the bass, played the viola for your orchestra. Nice, nice. Hopefully, we got some uh music lovers out there too. I mean, I'm pretty sure a lot of people I feel like music is just a universal language, you know? Any any mood you're feeling, you could throw on a track and get in that, you know?
SPEAKER_02:Get in the mic and start spitting like somebody I know.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I don't do that. No? No, I don't spit. Oh no.
SPEAKER_02:I got I got proof that says otherwise, bro. Yeah, I don't know that guy. You guys want to listen to it?
SPEAKER_03:No, they don't want to listen to that shit. That shit's hard garbage. Maybe we just hit flip. No, no, no, no. That's just hard garbage. That shit, I don't know who that guy was on the mic. Heart garbage.
SPEAKER_02:But um fucking MC Russell, the love muscle over here, bro. All up in his feelers. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_03:That's the that's that that's that the best time to make when you're all in your feelers. But ah, dude. I'm just not really a big fan of being out there like that, you know? That's why I don't really do the social media and all that. Like who says you have to be out there like that, bro? When you look at MFD. Who's that all?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, people know who what he looks like, but there's there's I've always thought that was a cool gimmick.
SPEAKER_03:That little mask he has?
SPEAKER_02:I just always thought anybody that goes out there try to hide their their identity, I mean, you're gonna get discovered at one point or another. Nah, I'm gonna wear a mask all the time. But I mean you can if you want. I don't see why not. That's what helps you get out there to do to do you. Why you gonna and you're if you have talent but you can't you get stage fright, and the only thing that keeps you from going on stage and making the uh potentially at least maybe a few hundred dollars a night, you know, a show, or even like even a good web presence, even with a and that's the only thing you need. I mean, why would you let that stop you from from doing it? Throw some sunglasses on, sunglasses, do the bandana thing. They don't know me. Yeah, yeah, like look at MF Doom. You know MF Doom, right?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:He got some cool beats. I like his beats. He's got some cool masks too.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah, he does, he does. Yeah. See, that's something I would be interested in. I'm not really a big fan of putting like I'm the same way too, dude.
SPEAKER_02:If I was to do any sort of project where I was gonna make myself the the main, be the main, the only guy, the the solo, the only dude, like like be a prince type or something like that, I don't think I would be able to do it without some sort of mask or something hiding my identity.
SPEAKER_03:Now, what if somebody said I won't take I just want 10% or like 20%, but you're the one writing the music and everything. But he's the one on stage taking lots of. What do you mean? So like let's say you were making hits, but you just didn't want to go up there and perform the hits. Because they said we have somebody who's willing to go up there and perform the hits, but they don't need to.
SPEAKER_02:Well, yeah, there's there's there's I mean, there's a lot of people. There's a lot of people like that, you know, you've seen and know that they end up coming up out of that. That's that's how they get started or whatever. Is uh writing ghostwriting, writing for other people. Right. Writing songs for that's how some musicians just get started. They write songs for other people before and then the whole while saving up money for you still packing shit? No, no, I'm just here preparing stuff. The whole while saving up money for uh professional recording.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah, that's kind of like that's kind of why I was you know, hopefully we could get something going for the contributes, uh the people who want to contribute, and uh we could get a little bit more better quality uh mics. I don't think we sound bad. I mean, for what we got going on here. No, this is a decent setup, right? For the 8-8 studio.
SPEAKER_02:This is a decent setup here at 8A Studios, bro. I mean DIY Studios, you guys make sure you hit the like button and subscribe and all that chisel.
SPEAKER_03:And definitely if you're if you're thinking about starting uh starting anything with somebody else, dude, just sometimes it might seem like it's not gonna work. You know, everybody has their moods, everybody has their days, every dog has his day. You know, I don't know who this guy's talking about over here, but uh you know, but it's different when you're working by yourself because you kind of control yourself the mood, and but when it's a team project, just know, just remind yourself it's a team project exactly, bro. Remind these fools, bro. Check yourself before you wreck yourself, and uh somebody throws down$60 off the drain, you don't want that. You don't need that.
SPEAKER_02:You know we're gonna have to come up with some content now, right? Yeah, I mean told you you know, you know, you know how many hours we got we let go of last month?

I don't know if I'm gonna do music so much as I'm gonna just do the singing, but we'll see. You're gonna make your own beat? Well, that's what I'm saying. I don't know if I'm gonna work on the music so much as just because I'm sure I can if it's gonna be a royalty-free song, I can always just find music already on uh back and track music on uh true, true that's royalty free on YouTube and just download that. True that just sing to that because I've kind of got an idea that I've always played around with that I've always messed around with every holiday, even though I don't celebrate Christmas, like I said. But there's always been a certain style and genre that I've always felt that I can pull off, and then now that I have the somewhat of equipment to pull that off, I think I'm gonna try it. Why not?
SPEAKER_03:I mean, we'll we'll see. You know, I I feel like a lot of sometimes in life we take ourselves serious a lot of times, and it's cool to just I mean, it's cool to just let loose a little bit. Nothing nothing crazy, but yeah, man, it's cool to just try not. I mean, who cares if people think whatever you're doing is silly, as long as you're not hurting nobody, as long as you're not stealing and robbing and killing and shooting, like you know, some people want to be streamers or some people want to you know play play uh whatever it is they like to do, bro.
SPEAKER_02:And just because whatever they're doing isn't a value to you doesn't mean it's not a value somewhere else to other people, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_03:You know, basically, yeah, yeah. That's that's why another thing too is like I said, like I know me for me, dude. If it's kind of hard for me to get on the camera, and I know we're talking about putting up some videos and stuff, but like as far as like, yeah, like if I were to have to perform in front of people, I think I would be more comfortable wearing like a like maybe like not necessarily a mask, but like maybe a little hoodie or something. Like, yeah, I can't see me. No, I got you. I'm John Cena. For sure. Can't see me. Yeah, yeah. I mean, there's all sorts of certain things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just I don't know, dude. I've never been the one to be in the spotlight. I'm more about the neither am I, believe me, I know. I'm more about the money. I know where you're coming from.
SPEAKER_02:Show me the money. I know where you're coming from with that. So, yeah, that's other things you can always do. I mean, yeah, most definitely. Hopefully, you're learning some sort of something from this. I'd like to think that from what you've learned so far, if you were able to get some sort of like Yeah, I get in my moves, that's what I learned. If you're able to get some sort of way to figure out some sort of way to get this done on recorded somehow, or just play record, and you had somebody else you could do a podcast with, I'm sure you'd at least have a good idea now of some sort of a structure and what it all it kind of takes. You know, it takes a lot. It takes a lot. It's fairly time consuming. I mean it's fun, but I mean there are some times where it's like you get off work and you get tired, and it's just like I don't know about all this. Yeah, it's especially that's not so much I don't know about all this, it's like it's just it You're hungry, you're tired, you're hungry, you're tired, and and normally I like anymore unless it's like a show like that you got down without any edits at all, and you're just going in there adding the theme song. I mean, that's something that could be taken care of in like an hour or something like that, less than an hour. Then right afterwards, we're we're as opposed to like that video thing, you know what I mean? You saw how it came out, it came out kind of lousy because now I know about VLC or some sort of video editing program like that, or app like that. So I'm gonna be trying to f mess with that eventually at some point. But I think right now the video should be decent. We don't really have very many views on it, but it's just things you learn as you go. Slowly but surely? Yeah, no, definitely. That's the kind of the motto around here. Yeah. Slowly but surely.
SPEAKER_03:Slowly but surely. We like we say we don't know a lot about nothing, but we're gonna tell you something. Yeah, yeah. What's it?
SPEAKER_02:I'm gonna tell you how to do it anyway. Yeah, exactly. That's how we get down here at the show. We do know, we do know a thing or two about a thing or two for sure. Oh, yeah, yeah. Especially uh, especially technical difficulties.
SPEAKER_03:Technical tacos. Technical tacos. I could go for a taco right now. Yeah, that sounds pretty good.
SPEAKER_02:Actually, I was thinking about I I did do remember gotta do my grocery list. The annual grocery list. And I gotta um figure out what I'm gonna need for my Thanksgiving. Because I'm thinking I might try and do a little something. Just like uh I don't know, maybe a cornish hen.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, no, I might as well. Might as well do something, you know.
SPEAKER_02:Because I do have that turkey in there too, but uh that's from last year's.
SPEAKER_03:Damn, a whole year, huh?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, but I mean it's been frozen. As long as it stays frozen, it's fine.
SPEAKER_03:Should be good.
SPEAKER_02:But so I suppose at one at some point I need to cook that one. And I still are you gonna take the one from work?
SPEAKER_03:I'm thinking about it. I'm gonna I mean I might as well, right?
SPEAKER_02:It's extra food to have.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna take it and uh see what my brother wants to do with it. The thing is, I don't know how cooking an electric stove. I don't mind if he comes through and cooks it. He makes a mess, this guy, but yeah, I don't care. I I know my brother, so yeah, but he everybody says he cooks it pretty good. I'm not really a big fan of turkey. No, I think I did try it once. I love turkey. Yeah, I think I did try it once and it did come out pretty good. Yeah, it comes out, but he but yeah, this guy he puts the secret ingredients in it. He puts his foot in it.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, yeah. Well, that's cool.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, so everybody loves this turkey, dude. So I'm hoping I'm hoping I could get him to make it. I'm not gonna force him or pressure him because you know he he has he's he's living with his pops right now, so he said he hasn't really been cooking there.
SPEAKER_02:I want to try to fry deep fried turkey one of these one of these years. Oh, you gotta take that bad boy outside now. Yeah, and I have I have the space for it right now. True that because this place isn't gonna be open.
SPEAKER_03:There you go. You might be able to.
SPEAKER_02:I always have last year I had Thanksgiving.
SPEAKER_03:You could clean out you could clean out one of those big little things that they got. Just clean it out with the well, I mean, just do it right here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you can get a kit.
SPEAKER_02:For like what, 20 bucks? I mean, 50 bucks. Uh depending on how what all you want, if you have the burner and everything else, but usually, yeah, you're looking at about like 50 bucks because you're looking at the D-Pen and then you're looking at the stand and the burner. All you need really too is a propane tank.
SPEAKER_03:That's not bad.
SPEAKER_02:You know, you hook up to the burner because it's literally just like a a little pot holder like thing that you put the burner under. Then you just get the it's all fairly safe, but uh, you put the the another thing that's gonna kind of be expensive is the peanut oil because you want to do it with peanut oil. You can do it with other stuff, other oil, but peanut oil is gonna give it the the flavor.
SPEAKER_03:And definitely uh need to go shopping at least like two weeks or a week before because all that stuff starts to run out.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, I know. But uh no, I'm not gonna do it this year, but uh one of these years it'd be nice to do it. But it is kind of uh, you know, kind of dangerous to do too. Yeah, I've seen videos though where people I think they dump it in too fast and like it explodes or or they don't thaw it out, that's mainly why. But yeah, another thing too is uh putting it in too fast. Yeah, you know you really have to thaw it out. Like really good and pat it out and all that other stuff. Two days, two, three days.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, well, do it slowly as well. Yeah, we'll see how it goes. You know, it's always a blessing to have family and uh food and uh I hope and pray that everybody listening and everybody out there has the same experience and and it sucks dude because even if you are by yourself, you know, just try it sucks because it does sound you know, but uh make yourself a little dinner. I'm not saying you just in general, people who Yeah, yeah, you know, who far are far away from family who can't make it or whatever the case may be. I mean, I'm definitely gonna get some pie, that's for sure. That's for sure. I mean, well, I don't want to guarantee anything, but we will try to make a little maybe before before the day, or yeah, yeah, for sure. You know, just for those people who are far from home or can't make it or you you know. We always appreciate you guys tuning in and handing in business here at the shakedown. Take it easy every day. Take a deep breath and remember we appreciate you here. Last of the pasta, peace.
