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
I Came For Brakes And Left With An Oil Change
A quiet Christmas Eve turns into a full table of stories: family, food, a heavy red that sparked a chain of questionable choices, and a $350 “surprise” oil change that still has us heated. We open with why the holidays feel best when they’re simple—no pressure, no posturing—just good plates and familiar voices. Then we wander through a candid tour of booze: boxed wine regrets, mid-shelf wins, champagne basics, and the tequila brands that either hug you or wreck your morning. It’s funny, a little chaotic, and very human.
From the kitchen we head into the living room: futons that murdered our backs, smart buys for small apartments, and the joy of a three-in-one couch that actually makes sense. Sports energy pops in with a Bears comeback that felt like the whole city breathing together for a minute. Then we slide into creator mode—first solo recordings, beat-making, and the plan to design sample packs that artists can flip legally. It’s DIY momentum with practical steps, not vague motivation. In the middle of that flow lands the big rant: a brake check that turned into an unsolicited oil change and a fat bill. We unpack the playbook of upsells, how to use an OBD scanner, and why city driving stacks costs: emissions, stickers, insurance, parking.
So we map alternatives. Transit over traffic. CTA plus Uber for the last mile. Maybe an e-trike with a basket for produce. The goal is the same as our holiday philosophy: spend where it matters, cut what drains you, and protect your peace. We finish with morning habits that actually help—don’t start with your phone, drink water first, move a little, make something. No grand resolutions, just daily choices that add up. And yes, there’s a salty detour through shark-filled water on a Caribbean trip that cost too much and played too much Christmas music, but gave us a good story anyway.
If this mix of city survival, creative grind, and honest laughs hits home, tap follow, share it with a friend who loves real talk, and drop a review with your worst mechanic story or your best morning habit. We’ll read a few on the next show.
And I was like, why a scarf it's just weird. Nah, it wasn't like it was it didn't have the hairy powder design. Okay. It just looked like the coloring kind of okay. And um, I just think then um I don't know, like it's like I think it's gonna be like the like I mean I listen to it. I was maybe in a minute, uh you know that's the holidays for you.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, we we figure we might as well get one in Christmas Eve. Yeah, yeah. I hope you guys are enjoying your uh Christmas and all that stuff. I don't celebrate but whatever you have me.
SPEAKER_03:I mean I I I do like to celebrate the holidays, it's just I guess just your family's all over the place, but are they?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Oh yeah, I was wondering uh what it was you were gonna do because you said you didn't have much going on today. And I completely forgot that. Like honestly, I completely forgot till like around nine o'clock that it was Christmas Eve. I I knew that we had tomorrow off and I forgot what I'm gonna do. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. It's Christmas Eve.
SPEAKER_03:And it's paid, so yeah, yeah, yeah. Nah, I mean, you know, I I really like the holidays, dude. I I like the whole everybody gets to getter, the food. I don't care too much about the gifts. I just want every I just want to have everybody together. Yeah, you know, New Year's, I don't celebrate New Year's. New Year's is just I'm not trying to be up till 12 o'clock with random people. That's a couples thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I'm not really I like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and what's the other one? There was one before that, huh? Or is it Thanksgiving and Christmas? It's Thanksgiving, Christmas, and that's it. Uh and New Year's, that's it. Nah, yeah, fuck New Year's. I'm not a New Year's guy. I'm I I'm definitely a Thanksgiving and a Christmas guy. You know what I mean? Whether it be Christmas Eve or Christmas. It's just I I like having everybody together, the food, you know, especially for Thanksgiving. But Christmas, to me, Christmas is almost like a second Thanksgiving, but with gifts, right? You know? And I'm not too big on the gifts. I could care less if I get a gift. I'd rather just be with people and hanging out with the family, just having drinks, chilling, some food, you know.
SPEAKER_04:Well, it's always been about like the food for me more than anything.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, definitely.
SPEAKER_04:Because I'm a fat boy.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, definitely that. I mean, you know, my my grandma stopped by. I think she's going, she's she's going over there to to Veracruz. And so she stopped by, she checked out my place, she hasn't been there. So that was Saturday, was it? Yeah, next Saturday. Yeah, she dropped off a little gift, you know. She's like, Here you go, because we're not gonna finally do shit this uh this Christmas Eve. So it's really cool. But besides that, man, I mean, I mean, it's just a blessing to be alive, I guess. To be uh to to wake up today, Christmas Eve, even though it's like I probably just throw on the Grinch and have a few beers.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, yeah. Well, one of those days. My m one of my kids is coming over. I don't know if the other one's coming in or not, or whatever.
SPEAKER_02:Right.
SPEAKER_04:And I don't know what's up with the girl, but she's you know, they're doing their own thing. They're they're adults now too, so it's like whatever. I mean, you know, they're kids, you're young adults. Young adults, but it's like whatever, you gotta just give them their space.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. The future.
SPEAKER_04:I'm sure I'll see. I'm sure they'll swing by tomorrow, if anything. That's cool. That's cool. But yeah, I'm probably gonna go get some Chinese food or whatever, since that's probably the only thing that's gonna be open by the time we're done here. And well, that and I'm hoping the liquor stores should be open. I mean, I don't see why they wouldn't be, right? You know, I wasn't thinking about drinking today, but I wasn't really either, but I was thinking, I'm thinking to be honest, I've been look because I told you I was looking into starting to make my own firm or fermented drinks, right? House wines or whatever or whatever. Right. And I was looking into what do you call it, the the equipment for that? How much is it? And dude, the for the wine, for the bottles themselves, like the bottles to rack it to at you know, at the end of it to bottle it up. Uh you're looking at about like like uh some ridiculous amount, dude, per bottle uh for one wine bottle, or like 20 bucks for one one bottle for just a wine bottle, no wine in it, dude. You know, like dude, I can get a$10 bottle of wine and just drink that. With wine in it. With wine in it, just drink that and I have a bottle right there. So did slow down with the with the boozin'. I have to uh you know, as you can see, my collection of wine bottles there. But I found this uh pothic, I think it's called. Uh, and I'm not one for I like, you know, uh switching up my brands, you know, and looking because you know, I do like wine, but it's it I have my phases where I'll be on and sometimes I'm not. But I figured if I'm gonna do my own wines, I might as well start collecting some bottles.
SPEAKER_05:True.
SPEAKER_04:And I found this one because you only have like a w a very limited selection at this liquor store and at the gas station right here.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:And they both carry this stuff, and this stuff is pretty good. That that the uh bold and toasty or whatever the hell it's called, dude. That motherfucker that thing, that one bottle it it tore me up, dude. Really? Yeah, dude. It it uh it set me up for some bad decisions that night, bro. I'm just gonna do it. I'm just gonna buy a bunch of shit gonna be great. I'm just gonna leave it like that. You made some phone calls you shouldn't have. I'm just I'll tell you, I'll tell you off air, bro. It was bad. It was bad, dude. It was bad. Like I bought I bought out, you know how I told you I was gonna take that security gig and everything? Yeah, because I ended up downstairs after that bottle, dude. That's what I'm saying. Oh no, making bad decisions, you know. Yeah, I'll take the security job. It wasn't like that, but kind of like that. Bug security. It was just loose lips and all that bullshit. Yeah, it happens. Alpha wine though, yeah, dude. It it's 15%. It was 15%. I was surprised too, but like that got me, yeah, bro. It was bad, dude. You know, I just said, you know what? I I I I texted Mike the next day. I was like, hey. I you know, I didn't even I I just said, yeah, I'm good. Yeah. No uh plus it when you think about it, it doesn't really make sense. He it's like no, the only one really winning out of this thing would be me. Because it's like, come on, for two hours, like I I think it was Yeah, it probably shouldn't sit in there. But I think it was expected to to be like a oh yeah, just show up and just have a couple drinks and just say here, you know, drinks on on the bar and and uh you know just wear uh security.
SPEAKER_03:Well the thing is I think in the long run it probably would have like let's say this is just in general, right? Right. If a bar closes at 10, but if they have a certain person there to that.
SPEAKER_04:Well I think it's like at 12 or whatever. Because that was only it was only gonna be from 12 to 2.
SPEAKER_03:Right, right. But I'm saying, like, uh let's say a bar that's when it gets juking. And if a pr and if somebody could keep it open for an extra two hours, that's probably an extra couple hundred bucks in their pocket.
SPEAKER_04:But that's just yeah, but the fact that I'm up here and ranting and all that other stuff, it's like it would literally mean that like I would I would be not only be here up here and but then he would be giving me money. I wouldn't even have to be paying rent. Just shave some off his house. You know, but do you understand what I'm saying? Yeah, if that was the case, you know. Well if he's gonna honestly I don't even think there would there was he was expecting that much, you know, to be like it's like I said, I honestly don't these guys don't get paid that much of those, you know what I'm saying? Uh obviously not like definitely like under 15 for sure.
SPEAKER_03:Because they depend on tips.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, and for me it's like it's like I said, though when you think about it, it just f from his end, it wouldn't make any sense. No, it wouldn't. It wouldn't because I would be up here literally, he'd be just paying me. Just to be around. Just yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, no, that doesn't make sense.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, yeah, that doesn't make sense. And that's why when we talked about it at first, he's like, well, why don't we just like talk about it at the end of it? You know, we'll see how this works out and we'll talk about it er after New Year's. But like, I I thought about it, I keep thinking about it. It's like it doesn't make sense. Nah, for an extra two hours. Yeah, I would be, I mean, it makes sense for me, so yeah, uh, I should be camping for, but at the same time, I don't want to do that. Be that guy, yeah. Yeah, right, you know.
SPEAKER_03:No, I hear you. I hear you. I w it would be different if it was like a joking ass bar. Yeah. Like it was a bar that was just every like not every day, but the weekends were always packed.
SPEAKER_04:And not only that, it I didn't live above it either. Yeah, that's another thing. Yeah. Well, you know, because that that's a good recipe for like disaster. Disaster, dude. You know what I'm saying? Going back in the uh back on the streets, and I figured that, you know. All it takes is one wrong woman. And I'm telling you that, that's or one wrong bottle of wine, bro. Yeah, dude, that's it. Dangerous. Man, and and I like I could I I didn't even go to sleep that night. I found myself like debating, like at like three four o'clock, four o'clock in the morning, still sitting there, five o'clock in the morning. Am I gonna go to work? Yes or no? Six o'clock. I just like I got up and took a quick shower, six thirty. I don't know. She called in. Yeah, bro. It was bad. Oh, this was on a weekday? Yeah, this was like a couple of nights ago, bro. Damn. Yeah, I thought it was like a Saturday or something. Uh it was like Monday night, bro. I think, or something like that. Yeah, dude, it was bad.
SPEAKER_03:That's crazy. No, but um, I always thought wine was for like steak.
SPEAKER_04:Or it could have been a Sunday night or something like that, I forget. Could have been Sunday night. Sunday nights are rough. Actually, it was Sunday night. No, yeah, it was Sunday night.
SPEAKER_03:You know, I did try wine once. I didn't like it. I didn't like it. I think I just tried, I think the wine that I tried was. What were you drinking though? I don't know. Some weird ass like that. If it was like Stella Rosa or something like that. Yeah, some girl brought it over. She was like, let's have some wine. I said, bitch, bring a bottle tequila.
SPEAKER_04:You have to you have to get first of all you have to be open-minded. You have to know that you have to know about wine a little bit. But more than anything, it's like you just have to be open-minded. And but there are different types of wines and stuff, you know.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, dude, there's a bunch of wine.
SPEAKER_04:I don't recommend people ever starting off with like a cheap, like with the boxed wine stuff. Nah. No. That's gonna give you a headache. I mean, like, I have a relative that's like my age or whatever, that like I didn't know this before for the longest time, dude. That's he had boxed wine. That's he that's all he drank. But like you give him a bottle of wine, it's like, yeah, it's a nasty. He wants his box, his box of wine. You give him something fine or something that's like maybe still like a cheap like that stuff is cheap.
SPEAKER_02:Right.
SPEAKER_04:But I'm telling you, the flavor on it was pretty. But like I said, if you can't stand that flavor, that dry, grapey, expired flavor, then it's probably just best just to stay off of it.
SPEAKER_03:What's like what would you consider top wine?
SPEAKER_04:Top wine?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, like top shelf wine. Like like like that's that.
SPEAKER_04:I mean, I I can't think of any because it's been a while for me, but um I do uh and plus I I try to stay away from the from the more expensive stuff. For me, if I spend like$15 to$20 on one bottle of wine, that should be that to me is fairly decent, like it's like mid-shelf, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_03:Right. What's um what's the difference between wine and champagne?
SPEAKER_04:Champagne is got the bubbles in it. That's it? Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:That doesn't that doesn't really seem like much of a difference to me.
SPEAKER_04:Champagne is wine, but it just has bubbles in it. That's that's it. And it's like white, it's a white wine with bubbles in it.
SPEAKER_03:So it just got bubbles in it. That's it. There's no real difference.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, yeah. And I mean you think that like there's a process, man-made process where they like pressurize it with gases, but no, it's just the natural fermentation process. Which is which I think is pretty cool. It's it's just like I said, like I think I told you before, on w it's depending on how you cork it at the end in the bottles. If you're gonna like cork it in store for for a long while, then yeah, it's gonna it's it'll the yeast is still gonna be fermenting in it and it's it creates bubbles. So when you uncork it, it it'll phase up a bit.
SPEAKER_03:I don't like you know, I don't want to put no names out there, but there is a bottle, and it's not wine, it's tequila, but I don't know if wine does this too. But when you uncork it, it's a bottle of tequila, and when you uncork it, if you if you close it and open it, the the um the the what is that the wooden part or whatever that closes the cork, it starts seeping into the to the bottle. I don't like that. Yeah, centenario. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, dude. I don't know if you notice that, right? And I'm not trying to knock him or nothing. Yeah, no, forget that. It's just I hate that, dude. That's why I like Don Julio. I don't like I don't fuck with Patron. Patron is too, I don't know what they do with Patron, bro, but that shit gives me a nasty hangover. Does it nasty, dude? And Don Julio, dude, that's my shit. Like my go-to. Uh I could I could drink a whole fucking pint of Don Julio, bro, and I'm good.
SPEAKER_04:I don't like for me to be honest, tequila's you're you're the only person I drink tequila with. Like, I that's not my go-to. Like, if you've noticed when I go to buying booze for me and the fellas over there, it's you know, it's yeah, but it's all usually vodka, warm ass vodka, cheap ass vodka.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, but look who you're drinking with.
SPEAKER_04:Or yeah, or or brandy. Yeah, no, well, I I'm starting the one getting the brandy, but that got me into it because of the Matoxa. The matoxa. Yeah, is that uh remember that bottle of uh of Greek stuff that we found at that at that uh liquor store that I was asking on how close it was?
SPEAKER_03:That one was dangerous.
SPEAKER_04:That was pretty good, dude.
SPEAKER_03:How much was that bottle?
SPEAKER_04:Actually, that was a good decent, that was on your mid-shelf, which was like about 20 bucks. But they had that was uh I think the five star. I want to get the seven, which I think is like 30 bucks, and then I think they have like a nine or something like that, which is like or a gold or something, it's a gold standard, which is like you know, gonna be like 60 bucks. You know, but I also want to get Lagavulin too. Which one? It's uh like a Irish scotch.
SPEAKER_03:Irish scotch.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, that's well the good ones are like a hundred and the good bottles start like at a hundred bucks. Damn. And that's just for like your regular, regular bottle. Damn.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Because I know some of the guys over there, they'll be like, man, I just bought a$200 bottle. I said,$200 bottle? Jesus Christ. You know what I mean? Yeah. I buy some like clothes or something. I not know$200 clothes, but I'm saying with$200, I'll give me a nice little fit and I still have like$100 left. Right. You know, but I mean everybody's different. I know some, you know, some people spend money on whatever.
SPEAKER_04:You know, especially if you like your like I said, if you like booze, kind of an alcoholic. You know, you know I'm kind of an alcoholic. You know, I'll drink the cheap stuff all day long, but like when you have that good stuff, and it's like, whoa, you know you're having good stuff, you know.
SPEAKER_03:The thing, the thing the thing about me is um I feel like the like I don't really drink like that anyways, but I feel like if I'm gonna do something, I'm not gonna spend top-notch dollar on it, but I'm definitely gonna get either middle shelf or top shelf if I can. I just feel like the the the cheap stuff, like this is just my opinion, in the long run, fucks you up like in the long run, like your kidneys or you know what I mean? Because it's not as it does, it does. You know, that's the only problem about like yeah, you might you're gonna get you're gonna get you know what they say, you pay for what you get. Right, and sometimes that's true, but sometimes that's not true at all. Because sometimes you'll pay for something and they give you this little ass plate, and they're like, all right, that's a hundred bucks. I'm just like I'm gonna f man. I I I came here hungry and I left starving. And you charging me a hundred dollars for this little ass plate? Fuck out of here. You know what I mean? Like six five-star restaurants or something. Yeah, bro, talking about$25 for three flautas. Fuck out of here.
SPEAKER_04:Two little baby carrots and you know what I mean? And a little rice. That's that's highway robbery, bro. That's highway robbery.
SPEAKER_03:They're like, yeah, no, hell no.
SPEAKER_04:It's the uh the main entree.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, bro. What the fuck? 150 bucks. Get the fuck out of here, bro. That's highway robbery. Never, bro. Never. I don't care if I made it, I don't care if I make it big, if I hit the lottery, you'll never catch me at one of those restaurants. Yeah, you catch me at a Nikki's down the block. You know what I'm saying? You catch me at a little Mexican restaurant on the block. Yeah. Fuck out of here with that. But that's just me, you know?
SPEAKER_04:That's funny.
SPEAKER_03:If I'm gonna spend 150 bucks, bro, I'm taking the whole gang out. I'm taking them to Golden Corral. We're going out, you know?
SPEAKER_04:Damn, I miss Golden Corral.
SPEAKER_03:Oh man, Golden Corral's the shit. I ain't gonna lie. It's the shit.
SPEAKER_04:Every time I try to go though, it's always packed. Packed, dude.
SPEAKER_03:You gotta go like on a low-key day, like where like uh on a weekday. Yeah, and the weekday is better because it's cheaper. Yeah, you know, you go on a weekend, they charging your ass like 23 bucks, an arm and a leg. And then not only that, but it's packed all day long. All day long. Because the church course. Yeah, all day long. You gotta go like on a random, like I was gonna go yesterday. Honestly, it was funny because I was gonna go yesterday, but they uh they were gonna close like an hour. So I was like, man, the thing about the last hour is like they kinda, yeah. You gotta go like prime time. Food's ass, dude. Exactly. I learned that shit the hard way. I said, bro, I'm gonna so I end up uh somewhere else, but yeah, you gotta be glad you can go in there, bro.
SPEAKER_04:I got a little bit of uh can already have already heard it already, bro.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, dude. What the fuck is this? Where the chicken at? You know me, man. I'm gonna play about that shit, bro.
SPEAKER_03:And you know what sucks, dude? I just had this really bad, like when it comes to food and stuff, I got bad luck, bro. I went to Sam's Club, dude, and I wanted these cookies, and they're usually chewy, and they're usually, you know, Sam's Club cookies, bro, they're usually chewy and shit.
SPEAKER_00:Like, these motherfuckers, these motherfuckers are hard as shit. I said, man, bro. I just like I got a whole lot like ah, dude.
SPEAKER_03:And then it's crazy because like you you ever like you ever got something in your mind where you're like, all right, I'm gonna go here and I'm gonna get what I get, but then for some reason, you get thrown off course and you end up getting something else. That day I was gonna get cereal, my chocolate cocoa pebbles. I was gonna get my chocolate cocoa pebbles, and I seen the cookies, I was like, man, it's either one or the other. So I got the fucking cookies, man. Right. I was like, dude, I should have just got my cereal, man. Yeah. You know what I mean? That's that shit that sucks, dude.
SPEAKER_04:Speaking of cereal, I was this close to trying it. Like earlier this week, we actually, when I bought that food time a few days a few uh nights ago, actually that same night of bad decisions. That's when I got it. Not that that was a bad decision. That was probably the only good thing about her that night. But uh it came in a box, it was assembly required and shit. It was actually pretty simple because it came like in a box about the size of this, like this shape, but like this thick. Right. And it was like 70, 80 pounds to get up here. I just rolled it up the stairs, like put her in one corner on the step and then pushed it up, and yeah, it wasn't and then I got here like right after I got off of work on one I think Tuesday. Yeah. It's not bad.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I mean, I wasn't doing nothing, bro. This whole week I've been just recuperating, should have hit me up. I would have came through and helped.
SPEAKER_04:Oh, yeah, because it wasn't even I didn't know. I pulled it out. I pulled it out, and really, like, there's a pouch where it cause it even came with the tools and everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I pulled the legs out, zipped up the pouch, and all I did was just unfold it one way and then unfold it the other way, put the legs.
SPEAKER_03:On those like they're twist on it or something sometimes.
SPEAKER_04:Literally, it took me like less than 10. Took me more time reading the instructions because I'm a strictler for instructions. Yeah, you got it.
SPEAKER_03:You think you could just put it together just by looking at it? Right.
SPEAKER_04:And you literally could on this one.
SPEAKER_03:But you just want to you don't want to miss a step. Right. Then you sit on it and the whole thing falls apart.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, right. Or or there you get that leg that's supposed to be loose and that never tightens up. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. After that one challenge, like since you bought it. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:There's there happens. It happens. It's like the leg that that if you twist it too much, it all of a sudden it breaks and it's twisting forever. Yep. Yeah. Twisting forever, forever.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. Yep. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:But I was looking at this other one that's uh three and one can uh convertible. It's this one will be a love seat.
SPEAKER_02:Okay.
SPEAKER_04:You know, because it you know the difference, right? A sofa sits like three or more people. Yeah, a love seat just sits like two, and then a lounge like that one sits only one person or a recliner. Same thing.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, I got a love seat but no loving, you know. But we'll figure that out.
SPEAKER_04:So I was thinking about getting a a a two-in-one uh love seat, uh three in one that will go kind of facing the windows where where my lounger is at. And that one's pretty cool because it's basically it's like a couch, but then it turns into what are those day beds or whatever? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those are you know where where the legs were instead of going like that, you're sitting up but with your legs extended out. Yeah, yeah, okay. Like coming a little like yeah, and then the backrest kind of folds into folds down and then it turns into a whole bed. That's cool. That's cool.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, they got some really good ones, man. You know, I I feel like back in the day, I feel like futons were really popular. Yeah, really popular. Yeah, now I feel like they're kind of not dying out, but you don't really see too many people with it.
SPEAKER_04:They're for peasants, dude.
SPEAKER_03:They're for peasants, bro.
SPEAKER_04:I I'll I'll admit it, you know? Yeah. When I was living in my first apartment in Colorado, I had I got myself a futon. But that one was one of those uh that was the OG futon with the metal black, it was just all black metal bars.
SPEAKER_02:Oh yeah, I know it's a good thing.
SPEAKER_04:That thing murdered on your back, bro. It murdered on your back. No lie, no lie. And then getting busy on it, too.
SPEAKER_03:Getting busy is no fun. You know, they actually uh I had a kind of, but not really. Yeah, I mean, you're not really thinking about it. I had a I had a buddy of mine who had a food time, bro, but he had a fancy one where like the stuff what you call it, the mattress came separate, and it was like wooden on the side, it was like super big, yeah, yeah. It was nice, but I mean it was comfortable, right?
SPEAKER_04:And that's that's kind of how this one was, but it was a metallic frame. Okay, yeah. Uh but this one, it's all like it's all together, yeah. It's all one. It just came out like it was weird, dude. Yeah, you just you pulled it out and it unfolds, and then you unfold it again. That was it.
SPEAKER_03:No, I uh I'm telling you, I got my um I remember we had one at the house, and it was kind of just like that one. Yeah, and they last a while, you know, they do last a while, but I I want to say like maybe a couple years. But after those couple years, you could tell it starts to give out the foam and everything starts to give out. I mean, you know, like what we say, you get what you pay for, but yeah, I mean a hundred and something bucks, yeah. Yeah, but I mean they they do last a while.
SPEAKER_04:For sure. I mean, uh hopefully I'm not here, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, I figured just something for me while I'm here, but like whatever. It doesn't seem like they're in a rush for me to get out of here and for as as much as I'm saving money on this place.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, that and uh I mean it's not like it's not like you're throwing crazy parties or going crazy and stuff. No, no, yeah. I mean, and and it's a spacious place. Yeah, yeah, it's a really spacious place. I mean, what you got like one roommate that randomly comes by every now and then a blue moon.
SPEAKER_04:Actually, he just texted me. Shout out to to the roommate, the flatmate.
SPEAKER_03:The flatmate. Yep. Uh yeah. Yeah, man. I mean, hopefully everybody that's tuning in, it's been a while for all our subscribers, for all our listeners. We hate to keep you guys waiting, but we do want to say uh thank you for being here.
SPEAKER_04:And yeah, we appreciate you if you if you guys are tuning back in. But that's the holidays, you know. It's not like yeah, everybody's busy, so whatever. And that's the best part about having a DIY so but yeah, obviously I I didn't get that that song done, like I like I said, I was gonna get it done. So whatever.
SPEAKER_03:There's always next time.
SPEAKER_04:Always next time. Uh but but that's not to say that it that I've been slacking I I have been busy with other stuff. I actually sat down and recorded recorded my first episode, the thing. Just did the voice thing. I'm still working on getting all the video stuff together and stuff. Oh, the morning? Yeah, yep.
SPEAKER_03:That's nice. That's nice.
SPEAKER_04:Yep, I'm messing with that right now. So and then I'm slowly but surely working on beats still. You know what's what's uh funny is that I'm thinking about making sample packs.
SPEAKER_02:Sample packs?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, what's that? Like um so some artists they could kind of like my loops. You know those first couple of beats that I played you?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:Like the drum beat was a loop that somebody had already pre-recorded. And so what the thing is is like you re they pre they recorded on a certain whatever, it could be even just on a sampler, but ever whatever, it's their beat. They have they they pick their own sounds for the beat. So the drum in a sense that drum beat is its own original thing. And then so that's one track, and then you record something else on that. So it's like maybe five five or it's like a little 30-second or 20-second like song or whatever, but then that song is broken up into its own individual tracks instruments.
SPEAKER_02:Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_04:And so you can take each one and then edit it out and just sample it and all this other stuff and make it into your own thing. That's this is what what um rappers or hip hop artists do, or most artists nowadays do is digitally digital-wise, is they'll take samples and they m chop them up or manipulate them somewhere or another, you know, and then they kinda that's how they make them on their own. But when you buy these sample packs, that you it's like you're buying the rights to be able to use it and do that.
SPEAKER_03:Okay, yeah, because sometimes uh what they'll do is they'll get caught up using somebody's beats or something.
SPEAKER_04:Exactly, something like that. But you get I guess that's one way to make money as a musician online on YouTube and all that is uh you make your own little sample packs and everything, and then you so you sell them and yeah, you like I could probably pimp them out and plug them in here.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, that'll be wrong.
SPEAKER_04:That'll be wrong. Yeah, you know, maybe even play the music in the background.
SPEAKER_03:We haven't had that in a while.
SPEAKER_04:That intro music. Well, even it'd just be background music too. True.
SPEAKER_03:That too, that too. Like we're just hanging out. That was good, that was good. Now it'd be uh I haven't heard a beat in a while, man.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, we well, yeah. I don't know if I played that last one for you or not.
SPEAKER_03:I don't know, we definitely gotta check him out. Yeah, man. I do grow down the rabbit hole of uh just for listening to random beats on YouTube.
SPEAKER_04:You know. Well, I mean, you were flowing pretty good that last time. I've just been waiting for you to get in the mood.
SPEAKER_03:I was drinking uh the down Julio. I know. Yeah, definitely get that get get you in the mood. And man, dude, I don't know if you've seen those Bears Saturday. That was a game.
SPEAKER_04:I haven't uh did they win?
SPEAKER_03:Oh, dude, they they came back crazy. Did they like it was like 16 of four? Oh dude, this one Saturday you would think they won the Super Bowl the way they were going crazy. Well, I mean they're pretty much there, right? I think they're number two right now in the higher rankings. Oh, did they go to the Super Bowl? I'm buying the cheapest tickets, and that's just for high I hope. It's like that's an honor box.
SPEAKER_04:But how realistically, the cheapest tickets for Super Bowl is like if they go to the Super Bowl, they're not gonna play here. No, where are they playing? I mean, Super Bowl is always somewhere, uh like somewhere else. Like Las Vegas or something? It could be Las Vegas with if there's a new stadium that was recently built, or like could be Florida, or it could be California. If they go to the Super Bowl world, in a dome.
SPEAKER_03:We gotta we gotta have a Super Bowl party for the for the Bears. Yeah, I'm down.
SPEAKER_04:I mean, I don't know where we we would be able to watch the game. Anywhere in Chicago, every bar in Chicago they're also you want to go out to to go watch either that or are we just yeah, think about how how crazy it'll get. That's what I'm saying, though. That's gonna be crazy.
SPEAKER_03:That's gonna be good, but it's gonna be a good like because dude, the the Bears haven't been to the Super Bowl in how long? Years.
SPEAKER_04:I mean I'm down for going to a bar somewhere up the street. Maybe we can walk up there somewhere or whatever.
SPEAKER_03:These old rinkity dinkity ass boys. Yeah, but that's true too. No, we'll see, dude, because um, I mean, no, the only the only problem is gonna be for a Packers fan. Is there's if there's a five Packers if you're a Bears fan, you ain't gonna get no problems. Everybody's gonna be hugging and and high-fiving each other.
SPEAKER_04:Well, I mean, they would be facing each other in in the championships, not the same. You think so? The Packers? Yeah, well, the if if if it were to go down that way because they're in the same division, right? True. In the same conference or whatever, too. Yeah, absolutely.
SPEAKER_03:We'll see how that goes. Because I haven't been really in tune with it, but I did see Saturdays, dude. That one was this guy threw a Hail Mary, man. Hail Mary, and yeah, I actually didn't see it. I might have to check it out. Yeah, dude, it was crazy. And he caught it, bro. Caught it in the field, and that was the rap. They went overtime, they went overtime, and this guy just hail married it, bro. From like half the field. And this this brother, yeah. Yeah, what was it Fields? No, I don't know his name, but I'm saying from half the field. DJ Moore, I think the ones that caught it the last play. And man, dude, it was a catch. It was a catch, and what a throw. I tell you, man, that shit was cold. Pretty sure it was just Justin Fields, right? That threw it? Or the quarterback? Yeah. I think so. You might be right. But uh it's looking like it's looking like it's live.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. Broncos. Caleb Williams. My bad. Justin Fields was the guy was the guy before that.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, no, dude, it's good. It's getting good. It's getting good. And uh when do they play again? Don't they do they play this Sunday?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, I think this is the last uh game of the week of the season. The last week of the season.
SPEAKER_03:Gotta check them out, man.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, it is the last week of the season, because uh uh what do you call it? Super Bowls on uh February or something, 25th?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, oh you're right, yeah. Of next year or this year? Of next year. Yeah, next year, right? Well of this next coming yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's yeah, you're right, you're right. Who's who who's performing the halftime?
SPEAKER_04:Uh I have no idea. Oh, Bad Bunny. Yeah, Bad Bunny. This guy. Bad bunny.
SPEAKER_03:Kind of name is Bad Bunny, probably.
SPEAKER_04:Bad bunny. I mean, I don't know.
SPEAKER_03:I'm not hating, I'm just saying, bro, that guy's not.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, he's decent. I I'm not really much into his music, but you know. Garbage. I can't hate hate it if I don't really listen to it, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_03:Nah, I don't listen to it, and I still hate it. That guy's talking about like Bad Bunny. This guy. Might as well be called the Energizer Bunny. You know what I'm saying? Nah, but anyways. It's funny. Yeah, no, dude. You know, same old, same old.
SPEAKER_04:So how's it? How's it back? How's it feel being back from from Vacay?
SPEAKER_03:You know? It it feels it's 50-50.
SPEAKER_04:50-50. You were back over there, or what?
SPEAKER_03:Nah, not over there. Not over there exactly, but I just felt like I was meant to be on the road, you know, like meant to be out there. And I'll tell you what, it's good to be back doing the show and everything.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:And it's good to be back.
SPEAKER_04:It's good to have you back.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, definitely. It's good to be back, man. It's been a while. It's been a while. I feel like it's been like months since we did a show.
SPEAKER_04:It feels like a while, doesn't it? Yeah. And I feel bad because I did one with uh with Home Slash, but it just it we used the sound card thing and it just did not. No, no.
SPEAKER_03:She was over the telephone, right?
SPEAKER_04:Obviously. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, we and it came through kind of good, but like we were it was really touchy and it kept feeding back and everything, so I don't know. Yeah, yeah. And I feel bad. I've been kind of avoiding her a little bit. I don't want to tell her uh but yeah, you know, she said I told her, you know, it was kind of touchy, she's like, it doesn't matter. She still had fun, she said, but still I just kind of feel bad.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, that was the tough one, you know. I mean, that's that's she seems cool. She seems like she would be a good addition, but you know, we're we're running a tight ship here.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, we she she knows that, but you know, yeah, shout out to you. I also told her whenever she had uh she had a chance, or she, you know.
SPEAKER_03:Drop in, drop in, and uh we'll uh work her in slowly but surely. Yeah, no, hopefully we build a good uh we build a good resume and we build a good audience, dude, and people can start tuning in themselves and calling or trading the snow. And for those who who don't have anything to do today, like us, not you know. Yeah, I mean I'm not I don't have nothing to do today, to be honest.
SPEAKER_04:I'm yeah, man. I mean you you're more than welcome to c to kick it. You don't have to just you know do a podcast and stuff definitely.
SPEAKER_03:I was thinking like I like I said, I I you know, me, I don't really drink on the weekdays, I usually wait to the weekend, but yeah, maybe depending on what's going on.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, uh, I mean my my son's coming over or whatever, but you know, like I said, we're we're gonna have a few beers or before you know.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah, that's cool. I'll probably have a or I'll chip in for a beer or two.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, yeah. So I figure we can if you you you wanna you're more than welcome to stay. And if you are gonna stay, we'll walk down there. Or if you want to drive us down there, it doesn't matter. I don't want to use you for your car. But uh, you know, I'll get the beers or whatever. Yeah, just stick around, you know.
SPEAKER_03:Dude, um mechanic shops are getting expensive out here, man.
SPEAKER_04:I mean, I I don't know. I've been out of the mechanics game for a while, and I don't know.
SPEAKER_03:Not even that, but I'm saying, like, for me personally, I'm gonna put it like this. Like, I love my car, but I took it to the shop, right? Yeah. Because I thought I had some problems with the brake. Okay. And I took it to the one shop, they're pretty good. And they said they said the brakes are okay. They said they they uh they that the calibers were frozen, so they unfroze them. Then then they were like, Oh yeah, the check engine light is supposedly a Cadillac converter. I took it to the converter, yeah. But if my thing is I had took so I don't know if if one part of the car is always like so I took it to autozone, and you know how they do that free checking engine, I think. Yeah, yeah. They said it was the ignition coil, and so I don't know if the ignition coil has something to do with the Cadillac converter.
SPEAKER_04:You can just spend 20 bucks on one of those little handheld things and reset them yourself, bro. Yeah, those things are always gonna get set off no matter what.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, no, so so that's what I was like. I took it over there, bro, and just for them to like, they said they greased it up, they they uh unfroze the cat the the calibers and and and I didn't even ask him for an oil change. I just say hey man, I need brakes and my brakes are they're making noise. They changed the oil on it? They changed the oil on it, and I'm like, bro, I didn't ask for that. That shit kind of pissed me off when they're like, Oh, we changed the oil because you know it was dirty, it's good to change your oil. I'm like, I'm like, I didn't I didn't fucking ask you to change my oil, bro. You know how much they charge me?$350.
SPEAKER_05:What?
SPEAKER_03:$350 just to fucking do some bullshit to it. They fucking that's I was pissed, dude. I told them, bro, I was like, dude, I didn't ask you guys to change the oil. I'm like, come on, man. Like, and they're like shit like that pisses me off, bro. I'm surprised, dude.
SPEAKER_04:Shit like dude. Well, who was this?
SPEAKER_03:I don't want to say the name, you know what I mean? Because I don't like to throw people under the bus, but it was literally down archer, kind of like over there. A big chain place, or what? Nah, just a nah. It was just it was just like a little, like, but I was like, bro. I was like, dude, I can't I so my thing was like it felt like I needed new brakes. I haven't had new brakes in almost like a year and a half or two, maybe. Yeah, you know, yeah, no, they said they took it apart. They said, Oh, we're not gonna change your brakes because you have pretty much your brakes are still good, and we don't we're not gonna charge you for something you don't need. But I'm like, okay, then why'd you change my oil? I know my oil was dirty, dude. I checked it, I know that shit was dirty, but I was gonna wait a little bit. And for you to charge me 350 bucks just to what? Just to lift my shit, take off a few parts and grease everything and put it back together and do an oil change. Nigga, you charging me$200 for an oil change? Dude, that shit was crazy. Wow, dude. Crazy. Wow, bro. I know, bro. I was pissed. I was pissed, dude. I never again, I'm never going back to that place, dude. Dude, I'm never going back to that place.
SPEAKER_04:You know, I found myself recently thinking, man, you know, now that I'm getting these furniture and all this little, you know, adulting and all this shit, I'm thinking, maybe I should get a car. Nah, nah. Nah, dude. Don't. Don't, dude. Don't, don't. Look, yeah, that's what it sounds like to be. It's not worth it. No, it's not worth not. Nah, not right now. Not not in the city.
SPEAKER_03:The thing about the city that sucks, dude, is like, yeah, you you you if you take the CTA transportation, or it's gonna suck. But you know how much money you're gonna save, dude? You're gonna save so much money that at the end of the day, yeah. You dude, even if you like, even so what I do is let's say I gotta go somewhere super far and I don't want to take the CTA all the way there. I'll take the CTA halfway there and Uber the rest there. You know what I mean? So yeah, right, right, yeah. You know, but I get it. I get it. Just to sit in traffic, to fucking get scammed like that, dude. No, dude, that's that's just that. I'm like, bro, I didn't I came here for fucking breaks. How did I leave what if I wanted an oil change? My brother, dude, trust me, I would have gone and got it.
SPEAKER_04:That means to take them to court, I think, bro. I mean, granted, it's like for$300, bro. It's it's it's it's gonna be a hassle.
SPEAKER_03:It's gonna be a good thing. It is, bro. But it's like, bro, why would you change my oil, dude? And I called them, I'm like, hey, you know what's going on? They didn't tell me nothing. They didn't tell me, oh, we're gonna do this, we're gonna do that. I they fucking called me back, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:You know, your calibers, this and what did you at least check your filter and all that stuff to make sure they did change the oil? No, I got to. I got to.
SPEAKER_03:I'm gonna check the oil right now, dude. But do you know the filter like you last used and all that stuff? My brother changed it. No, I think was it my brother? No, I think the last time I changed it, I went to like an O'Reilly's or something. But even then, dude, they only charge a hundred bucks the most. Right, yeah. Like, dude, they and the paper, they gave me a paper, they said that the the the manual labor was about 250 dollars.
SPEAKER_04:You don't change your own oil since you do since you work on trailers, but you know, it's you know, I I just I don't have the like I I could you you don't have the tools, and I mean that's yeah, that's the same same thing with me. I mean, my my son has tools. I've helped him a few times with some stuff, but it's like dude, it's just yeah, it's ridiculous, dude.
SPEAKER_03:Damn, yeah, man. I I didn't the thing that pissed me off is like, bro, call me and be like, hey, look, this is what how much it's gonna be, and this is what we're gonna do to it. Nah, dude. I'm not paying no fucking$350 for another change.
SPEAKER_04:That's insane, bro.
SPEAKER_03:Dude, are you kidding me? That's insane. Highway robbery, dude. And I was pissed, dude. I was I was lifted. I'm like, bro, not only did not only that you guys did it.
SPEAKER_00:I was like, ah, ah, you know what I mean? Dude, I didn't ask for it with that, bro.
SPEAKER_03:They were like, oh, you know, we changed the oil because it was dirty, you know, and it's good to change. I'm like, bro, it doesn't matter if it's dirty.
SPEAKER_04:I never gave you permission. Like I said, that's litigious. You that means for being able to shoot somebody, but dude, for just for$300 wouldn't be worth it. But yeah.
SPEAKER_03:No, but it's just, dude, you don't do that. You don't if I didn't tell you to change, if I didn't come in here for an oil change, don't fucking trust, don't change my dude. And they do that a lot, bro. They do that a lot, these fucking mechanic shops, bro. And that's that shit that gets me, bro. There was a video of some lady, she went into the shop, same thing. They're like, Oh, we changed your oil. She said, I didn't come in here for an oil change. Yeah, and they're trying to charge her a grip. She said, Rich, I she I she told him, she's like, You better fucking take that shit off. I didn't come in here for an oil change. And that's what I feel like telling them, hey bro, you're not I'm I'm not paying for an oil change. I didn't come in here for an oil change, bro. I came in here because my brakes were making noise. If you say the brakes are good and to just put the stuff back in the back. Exactly. Exactly. What's that? 20 bucks, maybe 30 bucks? Yeah. Not no fucking$350 for an oil change, dude. Are you out your fucking mind?
SPEAKER_04:And I've never heard of unfree unfreezing fucking calipers.
SPEAKER_03:That's what I said. I said, what do you mean my calipers were frozen? Discamed you, dog. Dude, they got my ass, dude. And that's shit. I'm never going back to that place, dude. And I honestly want to leave a bad review. And I never leave reviews. I never in my life had left a review on anything, bro. No matter how bad it is.
SPEAKER_02:It's not worth it, dog.
SPEAKER_03:Nah, dude, but it's just, it's like, come on, man. It's like, dude, come on, man. Yeah, nah.
SPEAKER_04:I get it.
SPEAKER_03:That's ridiculous, bro. And then and then the thing is, like, they did all that, and my check engine like came back on. I'm surprised you don't want to say their names, bro. I just don't, I just don't like, you know what I mean? I don't like putting people's like, I'm blast, dude, but I you know, fuck them. Nah. Um, dude. I hear you, bro. I hear you, I hear you. It's just, dude, so so I go in there because my my my brakes were making like this kind of weird noise where like they almost sounded like they were grinding. Yeah. I get the fucking car back. The next day, I'm putting the car in reverse to leave, and it almost feels like it's doing the same thing. So I'm like, bro, what the fuck did you guys even do to the car? They like, oh, we greased it up. We of$350 to grease my shit up? Fucking grease my nuts. Fuck out of here, bro. Never going back, bro. Never. I can't, bro. And that's that shit that pissed me out. That just made me like, dude, there's something if if my car like dude, my car's been running so good, and that's what pissed me out dude. I was like, man, dude, I'm gonna take care of it, take it to the shop. Right, right. And I and for some reason, dude, something told me I should just look up a different shop. Like, fuck them. But last time I took my my uncle's car, they did a pretty decent job. They fixed it, and it's been running good since since he sold it. So I'm like, man, maybe they're good. I took it, dude. Nah, bro. They just I don't know what the fuck. I'm like, bro, if if I'm I'm telling you, I feel like my car needs brakes, it's because I feel like my car needs brakes, you know? And you guys are telling me, oh no, the brakes are fine, but you're gonna fucking charge, like, what the fuck, dude? I don't know, man. That shit almost made me want to crash the car into the shop, you know? You know how you can keep the fucking car.
SPEAKER_04:That happened recently too. I remember seeing that on uh on the news, I guess, uh dealership or something like that.
SPEAKER_03:Dude, they're cuz they're fucking scammers, dude. Like, how hard is it? I know, dude. How hard is it, dude? You usually if I don't dude, if if I go in there for breaks, why the fuck are you changing my oil, dude? Well, and I you know what pissed me off even more?
SPEAKER_00:I had literally the same day had just added oil in there, bro. I literally just added oil to the car, bro.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, they're like, oh, your oil's dirty. Bitch, I know my oil is dirty. It's okay. Like you could, you, you don't have, you don't have to change it.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, yeah, dude.
SPEAKER_03:It's it's like, dude, like some cars, dude, you don't even just because the oil's dirty doesn't mean that oh my god, like you know, you could still go wow, you know? Yeah, yeah. It's like, dude, as soon as it gets dirty, doesn't mean you have to like, yeah, it's good to change. I forgot how many miles, like 500,000, like 5,000 miles. No, no, not 5,000 miles, but like, you know, there's a certain mileage that every car has. It all depends on uh the type of oil you're using in the in the type of vehicle.
SPEAKER_04:And then who should you using synthetic? You could go about 5,000 miles. Right. If you're using high high mileage or conventional, it's usually recommended to go about 3,000 miles. But the standard standard regular conventional oil change, you're looking at about 3,000 miles or three months, whichever comes first.
SPEAKER_03:Right, right. And uh, and I'm not gonna lie, dude, the last time I changed my shit was probably like five months ago. But I was gonna do it. I'm like, dude, it's it's a hundred dollars at most when I take it to uh to and I get the like the highest uh oil change. No, I know a hundred dollars the most, bro. How the fuck does that go from a hundred to damn near three fifty? I said, bro, she said three fifty. I I said three fifty from what to fucking look at my dude, and this is you know what I should have never gone, dude. I should have never found it.
SPEAKER_04:I mean, I don't know, cuz I've uh I've always done my own oil changes. And I mean, working at all those loop shops for so long when I did drive around, I just I would buy them buy my own oil and just use the the pit to go in there and change my oil real quick, get my own filter. I wouldn't even use or whatever. Sometimes I would use their stuff, but even then it's just like sometimes, depending on the manager, you would have to pay for your service. And I was like, well, if I if I buy my own oil and all that crap, then all I have to do is just pull it in, then oil, put the plug back on, add the oil in, change the filter out, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, less than five minutes, boom, in and out. And the funny part is, dude, it's not even that hard to change your own oil.
SPEAKER_03:It's not hard at all. It's just it's it's an hour the most. I I went to my brother.
SPEAKER_04:Depending, depending on how often you've done it, and uh, if you have all your if you have all your tools and all that other stuff, I mean if all you're doing is just change dropping the oil, adding oil, and changing the filter on your car, it'll probably take me like 15 to 20 minutes.
SPEAKER_03:No, no doubt. That's how much it took me.
SPEAKER_04:20 minutes out 30 minutes stops.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, that's how long it took my brother, dude. I took it to his garage, we had a few beers, he took the fucking filter out, he drained the oil, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:No, uh an hour. If you have somebody you're talking to and you're having beers because you want to be enjoying it, you want to take your time and double check all your shit. I get that, dude.
SPEAKER_03:No, dude, and I said never again, dude. But like it's hard, it's hard to find a good mechanic shop where they're gonna be good to you and not change shit that doesn't need to be changed. Like if if I told you Wow, dude. So glad I don't drive, man. Dude, don't if you live, I'm gonna put it like this. If you live in the city, yeah, there's no need to.
SPEAKER_04:Right now, there's really no need to for you.
SPEAKER_03:No, and and this is for the people that are that are tuning in. I understand, bro. They make it seem like the thing about this world is like they make it seem, oh, you need a car, you need this, you need you don't. You I mean it's convenient, yeah. Don't get me wrong. If you have family that lives on the other side of the fucking state, you know, but even then they got metros, they got am tracks, they have so many ways to get around in the city, bro. And I get it, it is a bitch waiting for the for the train. Yes, especially in the in the in the winter time, nobody really wants to wait for the business. Oh, I don't, I don't mind it. Exactly.
SPEAKER_04:But if you bundle up, if you prepare, it it's not that bad of a business. Maybe my my only thing, I have everything delivered, but it's nice. It would be nice to what do you call it, get some fresh produce every once in a while. Right. You know, and that's my only downfall is that I can't go in and get like specific things that I want to get or need or get.
SPEAKER_03:But even then, you could take, like I said, you could take the so you could take the CTA to a fresh produce company, like whatever, get your fresh produce and then take an Uber back. And then you're just paying one ride. Because some people, bro, Uber gets a little expensive. And it does, it does. And I get it, but if you if you kind of like do half of it, like you take the CTA one place, which is gonna drag, of course, but then you get your stuff and then you hop in a in an Uber, that's just one twenty bucks that you're gonna have to pay, really. Yeah, instead of paying 20 there and 20 back.
SPEAKER_04:No, I know.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I've done that quite uh quite a few times, you know, and dude, just it's not, I mean, this is just my opinion. Like, yeah, dude, it's nice to have a car, it's convenient to have a car. You get up and you go whenever you want, but they have so many apps to track the bus that you time it. I used to just time it, okay? I'm gonna take my I'm gonna take my fresh, you know, I'm gonna take my fresh bowl hit, and then I got 10 minutes. Cool. That gives me enough time to pack it, hit it, and boom, I'm chilling. You know, or if you don't, whatever, you don't drink, you don't smoke, you just, you know, dude, listen to a podcast while you're out there waiting for the listen to some music. You run it, you know, it's just and I get it, bro, because sometimes those the CTAs aren't aren't as reliable compared to maybe other ones in like Colorado or different CTA uh, you know, a transportation.
SPEAKER_04:In Colorado sucks. I mean, it's it's not that it sucks. The the buses are a lot more cleaner and a lot more comfortable than than the ones here, but they're not they don't go as to as many places, they only go to the business places and all that crap, but that's about it.
SPEAKER_03:And that's that's or look, if you're gonna get yourself a car in the city, I would just recommend dude just get yourself a nice little beater, a nice little Toyota.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, yeah. I mean nothing. That's actually what I was thinking about doing is you know, and that's what I was thinking about. I wasn't thinking about anything I was thinking like a 90 something or uh a 2000 right, yeah, 901 to you know, 98 or something like that.
SPEAKER_03:Something something that's nice and that that's gonna that's gonna be okay enough to pass the transmission, the transmission test, because dude, the thing about the city bro is they want to they want you to pass the transmission test, they want you to city sticker, play sticker, sticker for your fucking sticker. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04:It's yeah, I'm aware of all that. That's that's another reason why parking, dude.
SPEAKER_03:Parking. I know it's too much.
SPEAKER_04:This is another reason why I was telling you that I'm you know that I've been all about the whole alternative mode of transportation. A bike even an electric bike is like, dude, those are even way better. Uh uh a trike in the summertime an e-trike.
SPEAKER_03:You get yourself a nice little basket on the back, dude? Come on, man. I'll pick up a chick on a on a fucking e-bike. Come on, girl, hop on. You know what I'm saying? In Mexico, bro, back in the days, you remember they had the little thing on the back where you can sit on there?
SPEAKER_04:Yep.
SPEAKER_03:You know, it's like stop it, bro.
SPEAKER_04:And and I know I I'd have I know I I know I have the know-how for sure to do something like that too. But that would a conversion kit into something like that. But it's just finding the time right now and and the money to do all that stuff, mainly more than anything, the money, because it's a lot cheaper to get. If I want to get a tricycle, I want to get a whole the whole thing with the wheels and everything already put together, and then I don't want to have to have it shipped here, so that's where it gets to become a hassle for me because I have no way of going to go get it and all that other stuff. Yeah. And I hear you. In order to get it, you have to know somebody with the truck, unless for unless maybe if you were kind enough to help me out sometime, I can maybe borrow the the truck over here.
SPEAKER_03:Oh, but yeah, I mean they would probably lend me the truck, I'm not gonna lie, but I don't know, Boston. Yeah, no, you know, they're kind of weird like I don't know. Exactly.
SPEAKER_04:But then that's what I'm saying. That's another part of the hack.
SPEAKER_03:It's like they almost say yeah, but then they kind of have like this oh I know, yeah, right.
SPEAKER_04:Fuck, you know, but it's like, dude, I get mad because it's like everybody else uses it. Right, right. You know, yeah, I know, but believe me. That's what I'm saying. And so it's like, yeah, because even if I was supposed to ask my kids, they don't have a card to for me uh for us to be able to get it, you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, because my seats fold down the back ones, but I don't know if it would fit.
SPEAKER_04:And you would just like you would probably just no, you know, a trash go. You you think they're not that big because if we're talking you when you think of a trash go, you're thinking about little kids' trach. No, this is an adult ass tressy, bro. You know what I'm saying? Big like this table big or yeah, dude. Yeah, yeah, bro. Like that, like, yeah, yeah. I mean, don't like that's how much space. Oh well, not that much space it would take, but like, you know, it would take quite a bit of space, bro.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah. I mean, the only thing I if it if it comes down to it, the last thing I could do is just rope the shit out of it on top of the car.
SPEAKER_04:No, no, no. I wouldn't I wouldn't ask you to do that, bro.
SPEAKER_03:I I had a I had a a bed on top of my shit when I was moving. I put a whole bed box on top of my car with the little.
SPEAKER_04:No, I mean I've done stuff like that too, but that's to my own vehicle, not to somebody else's. And I wouldn't ask somebody to you know to let me do something like that on their vehicle. That'd be fucked up.
SPEAKER_03:I mean, as long as it's bent the top.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, no, I mean it's a tricycle, dude. It's gonna be it's gonna scratch the shit out of you. No, yeah, you're good, bro.
SPEAKER_00:The fucking don't come in a box?
SPEAKER_04:No. No?
SPEAKER_00:What are you talking about? Like, let me see a picture.
SPEAKER_04:A tricycle, dude. Like an adult ass tricycle, bro. A tricycle?
SPEAKER_03:You're not talking about the ones with like a small wheel and a big wheel, right?
SPEAKER_04:With like a wheel in the front and two wheels in the back. Like it's like a bicycle, but a wheel in the front. Those are training wheels. A wheel in the front and two wheels in the back. Those are like the Batman wheel?
SPEAKER_03:Uh you're talking about those uh those slingshots? Hold on. What are you talking about? That's crazy.
SPEAKER_04:Something like this. How much is this? 300 bucks. This isn't even a knee bike of any sort, but something like that.
SPEAKER_03:Oh yeah, dude. Oh, damn, yeah, okay. I know what you're talking about.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, I can go grocery shopping with this. But can you hit corners?
SPEAKER_03:That shit looks kind of hard to bag.
SPEAKER_04:I'll figure it out somehow, dog.
SPEAKER_00:It's like you gotta get up and put the back to the to the side. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:It's a wide one. No, I'm pretty sure you could bent corners. But that one would be perfect, dude. But you know what's crazy? Nowadays in the city, they want you to drive on the on the streets. They don't want you to be on the sidewalk, which is ridiculous.
SPEAKER_04:That's fine, but you you still don't need a license for that.
SPEAKER_03:No, you don't. Damn, bro. You throw a little motor on that bad boy?
SPEAKER_04:That's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_03:That's that, dude. That's what I'm talking about, bro.
SPEAKER_04:No, they have conversion kits where like you like say you you have a motor, like a little whatever sort of motor.
SPEAKER_01:Right.
SPEAKER_04:And you can like somehow mount it, like on the say, you can mount it on you can either it can either be front reel or rear wheel, but it's like a little motor with a little wheel that it sits on top of the wheel, right? On top of that tire. That's and it drives it. When you hit the gas, it that's what it like it sits on top of that thing and it drives it.
SPEAKER_03:Cool, yeah. No, because you would definitely get kind of worn out just pedaling. Oh, yeah, dude.
SPEAKER_04:And my thing is it'd be better to go like gas, gas powered four stroke, maybe.
SPEAKER_03:Because uh, my thing is when it snows heavy, is it heavy duty enough to get out the snow?
SPEAKER_04:No, I wouldn't I wouldn't be using it in the summertime, in the wintertime, it would just be the summertime, right? Maybe uh days like this. Yeah, where it's not snowing. Yeah, it's cold. Totally, totally usable for sure.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, no, definitely, definitely. No, and that's what I'm saying, bro. Like the city is just there's so many cars, bro. Yeah, and I get it, bro. Like I said, it is convenient, it is nice to just get in and go. But in my opinion, dude, I I saved more money. I was able to save so much money, bro, more than I thought I couldn't, just taking the CTA back and forth around places. Yeah, no, having a car, yeah, I get that for sure. Having a car is so hard to save money, bro. Especially when they're charging you 350 for an oil trade. I know. You know what I mean? So I'm just telling people out there, bro, if you're living in a in a crowded area and you are thinking about getting a car, bro, think about the expenses of the city sticker. The the the the what you call it, the time every year you had to get uh the you had to check it for um ignitions tests. Every year you gotta get that new city sticker. Then you had to get your a driver's license is good to have, even if you don't have a driver's license or a car. Yeah. And on top of that, it's good to know how to drive a car just in case you're having an emergency where you have to drive a car or drive somebody, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, for sure. I mean, if anything, um yeah, if I was to get a car, it would I I wouldn't be using it too much. Because I hate driving to begin with. That's the main reason why I haven't gotten bothered to get a car. But I do definitely need my license for sure.
SPEAKER_03:No, yeah, it's definitely good to have a driver's license and it's definitely good to just you know, I want to learn how to drive a stick shift. You don't know how to drive a stick? Nah, dude. That shit's crazy. But those will be good to learn. It looks fun. It's pretty fun.
SPEAKER_04:It is, it does look fun, and um it's it's pretty fun, but to be honest with you, like it's fun when you're a single dude, you know, and you don't have a lady that you're having to drive around with all the time. Yeah. But because you know, with automatic, you always have that free hand. You know what I'm saying? You know, not you know, not to be too perverted. No, no, but it's good to have a free hand. To hold hand, to hold her hand. I don't want to hold her hand. Trying to hold her hand, nah.
SPEAKER_02:Trying to hold something else.
SPEAKER_04:But I mean, I had fun. I had a couple of uh stick shifts before. Yeah, those are cool.
SPEAKER_03:They're pretty cool. You know what they have nowadays? They have the little um my car has it where I don't know how to use it, but my my brother uh one time we went for a ride and it's got the little paddles on the back.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, yeah, but yeah, yeah. It's a shift, those are raw, those are pretty cool.
SPEAKER_03:Those are uh uh automatic manuals. Yeah, those are cool.
SPEAKER_04:I don't know how to use them, but I want to learn how to use that one because uh yeah, I mean they're just really not necessary unless you're on the highway or the autobahn or something like that, trying to like you know yeah, yeah, eras your motherfucker.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah. That's why I want to use them, but anyways.
SPEAKER_04:Well, yeah, I forget how much of a speedster you can be, bro. That's why I want to make it. It's kind of scary being in the car with you behind the wheels. I'm not gonna fly in here.
SPEAKER_03:I be zooming. It's because some people, man, they're going too slow or going too fast, and I'm like, bro, what are we going to a red light? Oh, dude, that's why I can't drive, bro. They gave that, dude. I be swearing, dude, because there's literally people, bro. Like, I'm at a stop sign and I'm waiting to go right, and this fucking guy wants to go in front of me to go right. Like, bro, we're bro, we're we're waiting for the same thing, bro. You can't wait, so I'm not gonna sit there and just take it. I'm gonna cut his ass off. Like, bro, now you're gonna wait. And now I'm gonna stop, and I'm gonna make you wait. Thunderdome. Hey, bro, fuck that shit, dude. You're in my world now, baby. And uh but you know what's crazy nowadays, especially for the last, I want to say the last couple years. Hold on. Go ahead. The last couple years there's been a lot of incidents where people will start shooting at each at each other or beating each other up on road rages. You know what I mean? It's crazy. Yeah, no, yeah, yeah, I got you. That's why sometimes it is better to just let people like, whatever you want to cut me off, go ahead. You know. But it's just I can't do it, bro. Like this this this car right here is the car that I'm gonna take care of as long as I can. And if something were to happen to it, and they're talking about oh, you need like$2,000,$3,000 to fix it, I'm gonna just stash it up. Yeah, and then when I need a car again, that's when I'll just fix the car that I already have.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:You know, because to me, there's no point of spending another$8,000,$9,000 on another car when I could just be like, you know what, how much is it gonna cost to fix this one?
SPEAKER_04:For sure. No, I hear you. No. You know?
SPEAKER_03:But the place that I went to, I'm not going back because they're talking about a Cadillac converter, and they want to charge me$350 for just an oil changer than bullshit. I know they're gonna try to get me on a Cadillac converter, and I don't even know what the fuck a Cadillac converter is. Yeah, no, don't do that. No, I'm not doing that.
SPEAKER_04:No, you don't need to. Like I said, you don't re you really don't need to.
SPEAKER_03:Nah, dude, I that's what I said.
SPEAKER_04:Just get yourself, spend 10-15 bucks on one of those little handheld OBD uh code, uh, what do you call that? Um checkers and just reset it, bro.
SPEAKER_03:That's yeah, that's what they do. That's what I do at a at a I'll go to AutoZone and they reset it for free.
SPEAKER_04:It it really has nothing to do with anything. Right? That's what I said. I mean it's it's unless you're hearing any sort of noise or got any sort of black smoke blowing out of it, like constantly, you're good, bro. It runs fine. You're good. It runs fine and um because you're not gonna be happy when you find out the price of a catalytic converted. No, they're like three thousand dollars on it. Yeah, and that's more or more so I think now.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, but the the thing is so when the new year comes and I gotta take it for ignitions tests, I'm gonna have to reset that that that because it passed last year. It passed last year, and I don't need and I can't remember if I had the the check engine light on or not. But I already know I know it passed. And when I take it next year, if it doesn't pass, that's gonna be a bitch, because then you're gonna have to, you know what I mean? So I'm gonna be like, man, if it doesn't pass, I mean I'm I I'm like 99% sure it's gonna pass. But if it doesn't do it, I'm just gonna have to put it up. I'm not fucking going there.
SPEAKER_04:No, yeah. I mean, not even sell it just you know, yeah, man. I but yeah, don't don't don't do the catalytic converter thing.
SPEAKER_02:No, dude, I'm not fuck that.
SPEAKER_04:So any uh new year's uh resolutions?
SPEAKER_03:Fuck bitches, get money. No, um votes and hose? No, I gotta stop saying that you know what am I you know, but uh anyways, no no just uh you know we love the women here. Uh no bro, I don't do New Year's resolutions, bro. I don't do that that nonsense, dude. Like it's to me, bro. Look, I I don't I don't I don't really I just take one day at a time because I feel like it's all like an illusion. You know what I mean? Like it's an illusion to keep you like like worried or I'm not meeting my quota. I'm not doing the best I can. Like, dude, just be you. Do the like I'm not saying don't like yeah, learn something every day. Work out a little bit. Of course, yeah, right. Eat healthy. Of course. But that's just that should be every day. That shouldn't be a new year's thing. That should be every day.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, bro. You meet you meet your quota. Exactly, bro. Every day is just all you're running out of time. So no new year, no new year, bro. No, dude. To me, it's just another day, right? Same as another day, another dollar.
SPEAKER_03:Every day, another dollar, baby. That's it.
SPEAKER_04:All this, all this fucking. Another day, another dollar over here over here making bitches holler.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, you know what I mean, dude? Like it's just it's just some that's just me, right? Like, this is my philosophy, bro. Yeah. Just take your just take it one day at a time. Take it one day at a time. And don't don't try not to think about too much about the past. Because then you're not you're not focusing on what you should be focusing. And yeah, study a little bit, do what you want to do, bro. Nothing's gonna come right away. Like, you wanna fucking learn how to do this, do it. You wanna I mean I'm a procrastinator like a motherfucker, right? We all are. But this is just what I'm saying, bro. Like, who cares what people think, bro? Who cares? People find your passions, bro. Pursue your passions, exactly, bro. Even if what if you want to learn how to invest, get a nice little computer, take your time, just do it, bro. It doesn't have to be a new year for you to have to be like, oh yeah, I'm gonna start working out. Nah, bro, you could have done that last year. You could have done that today yesterday. Make right now your new year, bro. Exactly, bro. Yeah, dude. Who cares? Who cares if you if like me, I only drink on the weekends, right? Yeah, and I'm pretty sure there's people who do like, oh, I gotta stop doing this. Who cares if you fuck up and have a beer one day that you're not the first? Who cares if you hit a fucking bolt?
SPEAKER_04:Oh, believe me, baby. Depending, bro, depending. Well, no, you know what I don't know. I had nine of bad decisions, bro. So let you know, it cares. People care, bro. People care, right? I care, no.
SPEAKER_00:We care, we care no, but I'm saying, like, like, okay, like, but it's like, dude, like, we're humans, we're gonna fuck up, dude.
SPEAKER_02:Like, we're gonna no, I get that for sure.
SPEAKER_04:Believe me though. I'm not gonna lie to you because I'm surprised, dude. Because like I caught myself thinking, like, damn, bro, am I really getting old, dude? Is this is this shit really just is that a a young man's game now? What the fuck is going on here, bro? No, but like look, look for me, even me, bro.
SPEAKER_03:I'm still like for me, it's like I don't I I'm not really a club guy.
SPEAKER_04:I got my hands on the oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, no, that's different. Yeah, right. No, but like I said, bro, life's that's the thing about life, bro. It's like I feel like they put too much stress on us, and we lean towards let's get fucked up, fuck it, let's do whatever it is that we do, you know, and whatever it is other people do to take that edge off. And I feel like, dude, like even birthdays, right? And I'm and I'm still kind of young, not and I'm getting older too, but it's like I I like birthdays. Birthdays are cool, but they don't really mean as much no more. You know what I mean? I feel like it's just a way of dumb, like, oh, you're getting old, you're getting you, you're you know what I mean? Like you gotta you got no more time left. Like, dude, fuck that, dude. It's on a like imagine if there was no such thing as time, right? And you just had day and night. You just had every day, you were just born, and that's it. Your birthdays didn't really matter. You know, there was no such thing as New Year's. It was just you just live your day, dude, and you stop worrying about so much about things that you feel like, yeah, dude, do what you gotta do what you gotta do, right? Do what you gotta do, right? Like, like meet meet a quota, meet a goal, but be real, you don't gotta fucking make this goal such a fucking hassle in your life that you're like, damn, I'm running out of time. No, dude. I'm not saying you have all the time in the world, because God forbid the next day you could get hit by a bus, right? But just just try and just live in the moment, and yeah, dude, make an hour worth of okay, I'm gonna do an hour of this, I'm gonna do an hour of this. There's nothing wrong with playing video games, there's nothing wrong with fucking watching TV. I'm not saying watch TV all day, and it's hard because we have phones, and back in the day, bro, you weren't on your phone scrolling for a whole hour. That's just brain rot, you know. That's not good to sit there and I do it. I'm guilty of it. I'm guilty of being, you know, but put your phone down, just look at the sky, bro. Just enjoy hear the birds. It's it's it's breathe a little, you know what I mean? Yep, yep. And I'm not, I'm talking to everybody, you know, even myself, bro. Because sometimes I get in this in this in this world.
SPEAKER_04:We all we all get in the funk, bro.
SPEAKER_03:Exactly, bro. It's just this, and I feel like it's all because of society and the things that they throw at us, like stressing us out, bro. Dude, you you go on YouTube, oh you're not doing this. Oh, you're not look at me. Look at my cars, look at my 20 cars and my fucking why are you at the mall?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, why yeah, fuck that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why are you at the mall here? Because I wanna go to the money. Yeah, because I wanna go to the mall, dude. Why are you at the street with no money? Because I want to see some asset titties, bro. The fuck I barely had I only had enough for the entrance, and that's all I need, right? To be in here, right? Nobody said I gotta spend money on these bitches, bro. I'm tired of that shit, bro. I'm tired of going to the mall and people be like, why you at the mall with no money, bro? I'm fucking tired of having no gas in my car and I got a car, bro. I'm tired, bro.
SPEAKER_04:You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_00:Going down, bro. And it's just like, damn.
SPEAKER_04:I can't just shop around. I just can't look around.
SPEAKER_00:I can't go to the mall just to be there. Like, damn, bro, making me feel bad.
SPEAKER_04:Your time is money, bro.
SPEAKER_03:You know, time is money, but time you can't get back. Everything is money, bro.
SPEAKER_04:You know, you know, I know that, but that's just not the society we live in, bro.
SPEAKER_03:But these like some people stress themselves so much uh uh about money, bro, that they just they they fucking lose it. And it's like, bro, like I get it. Who doesn't want to be a millionaire? Who doesn't want to have money to just enjoy life? But it's like don't don't fucking care yourself over it.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, hold on. Well, uh, hold on one second. Take a quick break. Yep.
SPEAKER_03:About to go in the middle of nowhere, and we're back. Yeah, man, I'm tiny, man. This whole rat race thing, bro.
SPEAKER_04:Everything's money, bro. Everything's money. As soon as you even before you get out the door, dude. But as soon as you wake up, your cell phone has their hand in your pocket, bro, and then you step outside, you somebody's looking at you like vultures, bro. You know, just circling. But instead of your carcass, they want well, you know, eventually they're gonna they want your carcass, but they want your money first.
SPEAKER_03:It's crazy, man. And uh, this is one thing I I would say too is don't don't grab your phone. The first thing you do when you wake up is don't grab your phone and scroll through dumb shit. And I and I'm guilty of doing that, but just wake up, like eat a little something, maybe throw on the TV is fine, but I'm gonna get up and meditate, to be honest. Exactly, dude. Like I I know, and this is for my experience. I wake up and I hate it. I'll wake up and I'll just start scrolling through YouTube and I hate it because then it puts me in a weird like mental state. And I notice, like, I I I done the test, I done the research, you know. I wake up the next night and I say, I and I tell myself, I'm not, I'm gonna put my phone away somewhere and I'm gonna wake up and I'm not gonna go through my phone until later. You know? Yeah, and I'm not saying ignore it, like if you get a car or whatever, it's cool, but like I I put it away, dude, and you just feel so much different.
SPEAKER_04:You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_03:You feel so much different if you wake up and you don't just start scrolling, and you know, if you actually start like, maybe let me make my bed, let me make a a quick little sandwich or breakfast, throw on the TV is fine, you know, but maybe stretch a little bit, drink some water. Drink some water, you thirsty motherfuckers. You know, you dehydrated ass.
SPEAKER_04:Actually, yeah, dude. I was gonna say, if you start feeling like if you're just sitting there and all of a sudden you start feeling like like shit. Mentally, especially mentally, because it starts going there first. Get up and drink some water. I'm not gonna lie to you. Get up and force yourself to drink at least one full glass of water. I promise you, five minutes later, you're gonna be like, I don't know what the fuck kind of bitch, bitch, bitch shit I was on five minutes ago.
SPEAKER_00:You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_03:And um, maybe, maybe this is just like a different generation thing, because I know back in the day, bro, you know, I mean, people didn't have smartphones the way we have now.
