I want a tenor that I love her so. I threw her with a hammer and touch. I need to tell her she's the only one I really know. I see a five on DTS. Dave will be back on Monday, still on his guy's trip to Jupiter and those guys are going to have a blast. I think the plan was if I

1:02at last check or if my memory is right, the plan would be to be at the game today, the Cardinals game today, which is going on. Although it's not at Roderine's stadium, it's right down the road in Palm Beach. Then the boys at the very least, I don't know if they did that one or not. I thought that was the plan, but then tonight they'll be down in Miami going to see the World Baseball Classic game between Venezuela and the Dominican Republic and you guys that's going to be like Carnival. That's going to be like Marty Grah. That place inside that stadium is going to be amazing. I can't wait to hear the stories about that. And of course, on Monday, we'll get all the stories from Dave from the Florida trip and how the golf went and all that stuff. How attended is that game? There will not be an empty seat. Really? I can't imagine. I can't imagine. It was packed last year. Yeah. Cool. I mean, first of all, it's an important game. Obviously, the Dominican's one of the best teams. So even if you're not a fan of either of those teams, the Dominican sales tickets, because it's an all, it's like the US team. It's just an all star team. It's loaded. But then you have those two teams, those two countries have huge fan bases and population

2:04presences in Miami. So yeah, it'll be phenomenal. I can't say for sure that there's not a ticket available, but I know that when they were looking, Dave and the guys were looking at it, the cheapest seats I could find online were like 300 bucks. Yeah. So I'd pay it for that. That would be worth it. It's pretty awesome to be in that in that atmosphere. Just reminder, as I think I mentioned this about 15 minutes ago, but as a reminder, if you're just tuning in tomorrow, we'll get a little bit of a late start with the Cardinals taken on the Metz. We'll have that game here on KMLX tomorrow afternoon, starting at 12.05. We'll come on after that. Right now, they're one one against the nationals in the bottom of the eighth inning, not that the score matters all that much. But we will talk about what matters with Matt Polly at four o'clock. We'll hit it on Redbird rush hour in the five o'clock hour. We'll talk movies. And who knows? Maybe a little sports. Janelle jumped in on the stream and asked if I wanted to talk about the world baseball classic. So maybe that'll come back up again. And then Dave Murray, we'll talk whether and we'll talk about hamsters. Well, hamster size snowflakes. I've never heard that before Dave said it.

3:09It's a Dave Murray trademark. Is it? Okay. So he said this even like in the winter. I just didn't hear it. He says it literally all of the time. Yeah. Yeah. It's like one of his catchphrases. Yeah. He has a graphic of hamster size snowflakes that he posts to Facebook. Just playing around it. Like if you could see a literal snowflake, the size of a hamster, they'd be pretty badass. Be awesome. Wouldn't it be any pretty amazing? Of course, we would call a snowball. We would call that. Yeah, we would call that a snowball. It would be a snowball or what do you call it? Hale hamster. Now, yeah, I could be I would hope hamsters are not fallen from this guy. That would be pretty bad. It would be pretty bad. Let's do some food stuff. Okay. Because normally we're talking about like cool fast food news and good food things. I want to talk about 60s and 70s recipes. And the weird ass stuff that boomers were making for dinner parties and all this stuff. Yeah. Because Andrew and Andrew and I went through some of these in the in the office earlier, just kind of like, oh my god. And these are real things

4:14with real recipes that people used to serve at like dinner parties and things along those lines. Are you aware of these things, Rachel? I mean, Andrew, you are a little bit because we went through where you guys are aware of this phenomenon. Yeah. I've heard of like the different casseroles and stuff. And they seem pretty nasty. It's I don't know what I don't I don't I don't understand. There's so many of them. I just weird. Where did that come from? Who get who had the idea of putting gelatin in everything? Everything is gelatin based. Everything has jello or some version of it. And I don't for I guess it because it was new maybe because it was kind of a it makes you wonder what it what it is that is trendy now that we're eating now that people will be like, oh, why why were they putting protein in the espresso martini? That is so gross. Like, yeah, it makes you wonder. Would you eat dish that's called baloney biscuits with vegetables? No. Well, probably what's on it? It's hard to tell. This one doesn't have it's got clearly it's

5:18got vegetables in it. There are little biscuits in there. And I guess it's just baloney chopped up in that. Oh, well, then no, that's bad. Yeah, like baloney at all. It's not really. It's not great. Not even even just like baloney and cheese on white bread with mayo or whatever. No, thank you. This one this one is from the Betty Crocker recipe card library. This is the most bizarre thing I've ever heard before. It's from it's it's the it's it's called men's favorites in the recipe part of the book. And these are called man pleasing appetizers. And the one pictured is literally chicken livers with a side of steaming beef broth and a celery stick in the beef broth. That doesn't sound too bad actually. Oh my god, it sounds like the worst thing ever. I got this shivers when I heard chicken livers like. Ah, ah. So that was that with those were one of those are men's favorites back in the day, at least according to Betty Crocker's cookbook. Does that sound appealing? Andrew, do you you reacted like I did?

6:20Well, like the yeah, I mean, in liver, if liver's not for me. No, I'm with you, man. But people like liver. I feel very much. I mean, I'll have a bite. So you'll try it. I'll try it. I don't know how much liver. I mean, I feel like I can taste liver right now, but I'm also unable to think of like a specific instance. Oh, even the smell is just okay. Go to sleep says as a preacher's kid, I had to go to a lot of church dinners and it was always a nasty casserole. Yeah, they were big on the castle. I gotta say, dude, my church had some amazing potlucks. Yeah, some of the dishes people were bringing in were like, yummy. Just lucky you were in the 60s and 70s. And sometimes we would do like Sunday school then church, then we would have a potluck and then you would stay for evening church, but early. So it was just like a long day. There were people who would come and just eat the meal and leave. Okay. It was good. It was like old people who heard about it. I like to try those deviled eggs

7:21sometimes. All right. How about this one, you guys? Would you would you eat the tuna and mackerel picnic loaf? So it's the tuna and mackerel. So what this is is canned tuna, canned mackerel, peas, corn, mayonnaise, mystery spices, and gelatin all baked inside a hollowed out loaf of bread. This is what you call wet food for cats. Yeah, it looks like cat food. You're so right. I'm sorry. Well, we're the two main ingredients again. Mackerel and tuna. I mean, so canned fish. I think tuna is fine. Mackerel is fine too. In the can? I've never had it. Sure. Okay. But mixed with mayo and veggies and gelatin and baked inside bread. I would I would try it. You would. Can you brave, man? Yeah. I mean, credit. I wouldn't even go near that. If I saw that, I would run screening. I would avoid most loaf based foods.

8:21How about this? How would you guys? Would you guys like crusty salmon shortcakes? Yeah. Yeah, that sounds pretty good before you even know what it is. Yeah. Sounds like a crab cake with salmon. So here you go. This is biscuits topped with salmon chunks. Yep. All right. Drowned in pink sauce. I don't know what makes the pink sauce is. I guess it's mayo, ketchup, and mystery seasoning. Drowned in pink sauce stabbed with olives. Yeah. All right. Yeah, take out the olives. I like it. Maybe take out the pink sauce. Like maybe let me have that on the side. Yeah. Maybe don't drown it. Maybe don't drown it. I mean, it is just kind of a version of Big Mac sauce, right? I mean, a similar thing. It's like salmon biscuits. I like olives. There you go. How about ham and bananas, Holland days? Yep. These are bananas wrapped in ham, baked in Holland days sauce. Dave just sent us a picture. Yeah. Of him in South Beach. And it looks like Michael Kelly is drinking an espresso martini. No. Yes. No. I think that's exactly what it is. Look at his coffee beans.

9:27Oh, you're right. That's so funny. It looks like Dave's having himself a little mojito. Yummy. And a big bottle of ketchup. That's that he gave me. Dave's mojitos got a little flour in it. It's got you can see the mint leaves in the lime. So it's definitely a mojito, but it's got a little like purple flour. Look at these guys. I'm so happy with these guys too. They look like they are having the greatest of times. Man, let's see if I get zoom in on the menu and see where they're eating. Nah, I can't read it. Looks good though. Mick done. It is. It is one of those espresso martinis, right? Hope it has protein. I say does it have protein powder in it? Is it flavored with wing, dry wing seasoning? Mm-hmm. Kevin, they're eating at a treetoria. Nice. Do you know if all the treetoria is done? No, I can't tell where they are in this one. There's a couple of them

10:27that are right there. This doesn't look like they're on A1A, which is what I know better in South Beach. Are they in South Beach? Yeah. Oh, yep. I see that. Now he said South Beach. I didn't see that part of the text. I was also like, how did she know? Yeah, I definitely don't know this place because it doesn't look like it's on the main strip, which is the only part I know of South Beach. It's probably some special place that Michael Kelly knows about it. I'm sure Michael Kelly has all the secret places because he's got a place down there. He's always down there. He knows what he's doing. Well, I'm glad Dave is having a wonderful time. Holy moly. I'm looking on TV right now. It's a TMZ show and they were showing how much money the Pentagon had spent on food in September of 2025. Yeah. Did that say $15 million in in in in in ribeyes? Yes. Yes. And like 90 something million on like crab legs. What? No, I think it was over a billion on crab legs. What?

11:28What? What? So they had a large budget that they needed to spend or else they were going to lose that money. So they bought all of this fancy food. And then they also bought like $100,000 Piano for someone in the military to keep in their home. They spent like a hundred and forty grand. I feel it might have been a hundred. Well, it's it's a $15 million on ribeye stakes. It's $93 billion total. So I think yeah, I think these numbers are larger than your you're wanting to go smaller on the numbers, but it's actually quite larger. I think it was something like over a billion on crab legs. It was it was six point nine million on lobster tail. It says. I know how I don't have the it doesn't have the full listing. It just kind of ticking off a couple of things. How did how did I this new like today? Oh, I like last night. Okay. Okay. I mean, I literally hadn't seen this before. So if that if that doesn't piss you off, I don't know what I mean, we always hear this stuff like

12:31oh, that's taxpayer money. This is literally your money. And they're buying $15 million of ribeye just because they can. Now what I can't figure out is they lose $93 billion in a month on this stuff. Go ahead. What I can't figure out is if it's going to the troops, if it's like we are spoiling this month, then like that's fine with me. I don't care. Yeah. If you're trying to spend your budget and what have you, but that's not clear. I don't know if this is just for the higher ups. I can't find anything that details like exactly where it's going to. So when you see a number like $6.9 million on lobster tail. I mean, if that's giving a lobster tail to every member of the US military. Okay. But I don't know that that's the truth. I saw Megan McCain on Twitter speculating that that's what it was being used for. But there's no confirmation there.

13:32And yeah, like I said, $98,000 on a grand piano for the chief of staff of the Air Force's home, $26,000 on a violin, $21,000 on a custom made flute from a luxury Japanese brand. Again, who specifically is that $21,000 flute going to? And is that a good use of our budget? We're so stupid. They're excuse is, well, if we don't spend it, then we won't get it next year. If you have extra it means you don't need it. Right? Why are we always bitching about how much taxes we're paying? But then we see this and we're like, oh, that's fine. We're not going to change that. We're not going to do it. If you, if you have to waste money at the end of the year just to meet your budget, you don't need that budget. You can reduce your budget by $93 billion if you

14:36need to do this nonsense at the end of the year just so you don't lose it. Am I crazy? Because I feel like I'm crazy. And again, I know that that's this phenomenon I'm sure has been going on forever because they say, I guess in the story I'm reading that it's like a tradition in the Pentagon where you wait till the end of every year to buy furniture because then you use this leftover money to buy all the furniture you could possibly need. If you are running this kind of excess and you don't need it and you're spending millions of dollars on ribbys and crab legs and salmon and lobster tails, then you don't need that $93 billion. You can get by without it. We'll take a refund. Thank you.

15:52Welcome to Radio Rental. This is the scariest stories you've ever heard in your life. All told by real people. And off we go. This wasn't a human being there. I saw just something here in this house, something out of this world. There was a woman moving through the hall. I stepped back and I was completely alone. Radio Rental is available now. Listen for free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, it's DGS on a Wednesday. Just to wrap up that last conversation. I think we all said it, but we'll say it again. If all of that food purchase was shipped out to bases overseas or even around the country, active duty service members, and they get to eat ribbys and lobster and crab perfect. We're all cool with that. They deserve it. No problem. But the food expenditures in there are headline grabbing because you're like, what? $15 million in ribbys right to get your

16:53attention. But all the food added up is not even the point four in the $93.4 billion. So it's way more than that. And again, I state this for everybody that wants, and I'm in this group. We all want to pay lower taxes. We all want our money to be used more productively. I don't want my money spent like this because it's the end of the year and well, we have it. And if we spend it and don't spend it now, we won't have it next year. Well, maybe you don't need it. Do we need $100,000 worth of footrests? Can't you just pop your feet up on anything? I mean, like, it's great. It's just nonsense. And we wonder, we always complain about entitlements and title. This stuff is almost all unnecessary, at least in the moment. Now, maybe it's something that could be necessary at some point in time. But that's not why they're

17:55spending it. They're spending it now because if they don't, they'll lose it. But if you have to spend frivolously on pianos for individual people, on fancy-ass flutes for an individual person, if you're doing it, that means you don't need it. Heck, as it turns out, might it maybe could have spent that money on munitions? Consulate what the situation is now. And this is why this is, and again, this is not a new phenomenon. This is not about any particular administration. It's just another example of how we all lose track. And basically, anything done by the Pentagon budget-wise is just accepted. It's okay. It's the defense of our nation. And that's fine. We all want to be the safest, most powerful military I do anyway. I like that comfort. I like knowing that nobody's coming here.

18:56Okay, we're all cool with that. But there's certainly very clear examples. And this is one of them where we are spending too much. But it just gets blankantly accepted because it falls in the in the defense budget. I mean, very simple, right? We spend what we, heck, if you told me that you're going to take that $93 billion and give every service member some kind of raise or bonus boom, I'm in. Wouldn't complain a moment. And also me, you could throw me on the end. Yeah. I mean, like, if that was like, you know what? This is going to be an appreciation for all of our sailors and soldiers and pilots and our airmen are our our our sailors. Oh, everybody. They're going to get you all get the bonus because we got money. I know it's probably not legal. But if that were the case, it would be totally cool with me. We need to do more for the people and less for the very small number of people that have fancy ass offices in Washington, DC.

20:04Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. You don't have to go. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. All right, Steve. Yes. I'm on Wednesday. Reminder tomorrow. I'll be a bit of a late start Cardinals baseball at 1205 here on Camel X. So we will jump on when that ends. As an example, the Cardinals game today, I believe, just ended. So we would be coming on around now if the game is the same pace as today's game. Actually, yeah, I think I think it just ended. So or it's about to at this point, it is, yeah, the game's over. So it was about two and a half hours today. So we could be on right around this time tomorrow. Could be around three, could be a little after it just depends on the length of the game down in Jupiter. Andrew, you had a pretty dramatic statement on our show sheet today. I did. You did. Well,

21:08I think this is pretty dramatic. Door dashing, revitalizing my will to live, I guess. Oh, yeah, that's pretty dramatic. Yes, pretty much all I got going on. What? Yeah, it's like, oh, I got going on at the moment. You're here every day. Other than this. So you're enjoying it. Yeah. Like what's the best part? I mean, obviously getting paid is a good thing. Mummy. So let's take that. I mean, but outside of that, like of course, I think that that would obviously be the draw, but is there anything else that you love about it? I mean, like hanging out with my wife. That's fun. I forgot you guys always do that as a tag team. Yeah, because remember, I'm I'm banned. I'm not allowed to. Oh, it's got it. I got you. Yeah. So you're just you're the assistant. Yeah. That's exactly. I'm just a driver. You're just the driver. She has to do all the all the actual work. Does it actually mean anything about that? Like is does it have to be Megan that picks up the food delivery or does it not matter? Not really. It's just her account on her phone. I got you. So you guys can just fully share all of it. Yeah. I mean, I think if she

22:08like signed in on my phone, I think I could probably, you know, because nobody really cares. Right. Like like when you order something, if it's if the person who shows up doesn't look like the person on the little picture or whatever, you don't care. As long as they give you the food and the food's all right and everything, it's like, yeah, that's fine. I would care. Would you? Yeah. There have been several times where it's like a I think a woman woman is going to be delivering to me and then it's a man and I'm like, Oh, okay. Like, why did you lie? Like, it just makes me question. I'm not like, you know, upset. Almost like, why is that? Well, it's almost certainly not that the person is like lying or concealing their identity. It's just that woman in that picture is probably sitting in the car. Sure. While he's running the fridge is like, I have my doubts. Well, I just I have. And I'm only saying that because that's the exact situation that I'm currently writing. Right. I just I'm a little annoyed. Well, okay, I don't have to use the service

23:12rate. Right. Right. So I'm not completely not that upset. But it used to be when someone was delivering to your home, like you could click on their profile and like see their picture and see their reading and stuff. And lately, it doesn't let me see a picture. It'll show the rating, but I can't like look any further. And it just kind of sucks because it's like, well, at one point, I felt like there was a lot more transparency. And now it's like, hey, we're delivering your slap to your front door. Just shut up. Okay. Well, I mean, again, I don't have to use it. So that's fine. It just it just sucks for a service to become less transparent over time. So that's very sensitive. It's probably a super dumb question because I've never dored asked anything. Do you know who's picking up? Like, do you choose who's picking up your food? Can you say no, I don't want that person or or you just, you place the order and it's out and then whoever takes it takes it. Correct. Okay. Because I would feel like if it was one of the, if you know, we're talking about an Uber, you can request a female driver. Yeah. If you did say I want this person and it turns

24:19out someone else shows up, you know, I can see that being disconcerting. But it's not bad. Yeah. Yeah. What's going on? Yeah. Yeah. I think that's, I think that's fair. Because there was one time we ordered, it was like a jet lag situation and it's like three o'clock in the morning, getting white castle or whatever. You can't sleep, blah, blah, blah. And I always have my settings as like, just drop it off at the door, please. We don't need to, I don't need to meet you outside. Right, right, right. But we had ordered from my account and it was a man delivering and would not stop pounding on the door at three a.m. to try to get the girl who ordered the food to come downstairs and get it. So like Kurt goes down there, he's like, yo, leave us alone. Like, what's going on? Follow instructions. Yeah, that was like extremely troubling. And I did report that. What did the guy say to Kurt? I think you're just like, oh, sorry, and just got out of there. Yeah, that's nonsense. Yeah. I did follow the instructions. Yeah, good. Yeah, this is probably hypocritical with me given, uh, you know, what I've been saying.

25:22But like the other day when I was sick, uh, my wife tore dashed some, uh, like cough drops. It's a very sore throat. And, um, I was like, hey, when this guy like drops this, it was, uh, fully at like three thirty in the morning, couldn't sleep. And I was like, when this guy drops this stuff off, like, don't go get it. Like, let's just let it sit out there for a little while. Like I, I, I do think it's a little odd to be out, you know, uh, door dashing at like three o'clock in the morning. And it's like, I don't want to, I don't want to see what that person's up to. Man, as a former overnight worker, I feel insulted. Yeah, that's fine. Some of us are night owls, man. We're okay with being up at night to provide services for you. Well, for me, it was just like, I think I'm a creeper. I have that door selected. And they're ignoring that. And I was like texting and saying, like, please leave it at the door. Like, please stop knocking on the door. Yours is a fully valid complaint. Yeah, it was weird. Like if you're, if your instruction is leave it outside the door, then just leave it outside the door.

26:26Yeah. Also, I have nothing against night owls, but I will say some of the absolute strangest people I've ever known in my entire life were overnight, uh, employees of radio station. Hey, hey, I'm in that group. Of course, I may be what you're talking about. It's such a, it's such an odd thing to, to me, I got out of it. It's, maybe I'm a control freak when it comes to most things. Like, I don't like my food, my, whatever delivery, it would be whatever thing I need. I don't like the fact that it's in someone else's hands and I don't have control over when it's going to get there, what it's condition is going to be when I get there. We have done the thing where we've ordered groceries, target or whatever, and then you pick it up at the store and they put it in your car. I've definitely, definitely done that, um, to save some time here and there when you're busy. But I also, I don't like that either because I don't like someone else picking the apples because I want to get the good ones. I don't want to get the ones that are all bruised up and nasty. Yeah, I think that's totally valid. Um, it's, it just becomes a thing for,

27:33I think for a lot of people, it's like, Oh, I'll try this out. And then it's like, Oh, that was easy. I can just do that again. And then it turns into a habit. It is an interesting thing. Uh, as a driver, you'll, you see a lot of people very unhappy with, you know, the, maybe the condition of the food or, you know, this food is, uh, this food's, you know, cold or whatever. And it's like, Well, that's what you're going to get when you're 30 minutes away. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you're, I'm picking something up that's 20 minutes away from you and driving it to you. Yeah. It's been wrapped up in this plastic bag for 20 minutes. Yeah. Like your French fries or soggy, your bread is going to be like soggy on your barbecue pulled pork sandwich or whatever. Like that's, it's covered in barbecue sauce. Like that's just going to be the nature of what it is. And, you know, barbecue restaurants weren't built to be delivery to people, you know, half an hour away from them. You know what I mean? Like this is, this is food that is meant to be sat on a table in front of you at a restaurant and then eaten. So it's, it's, it's really interesting

28:38when people are like very unhappy about the condition of the food. Yeah. So how often is it like, like similar, when you get it, how often is it very similar to what do we get if you just sat in the restaurant and ate it? I have no, I'm not eating the food. I'm just, no, you've never done it. I've never done it. So I don't know. I mean, I guess I've done it a few times. Usually I'll do it with like, I'm going to save this for Dave. Usually I'll do it with like cold food, like a cold sandwich from like an Arab bread or whatever. So then I would say it's very similar because it's just wrapping up a sandwich and thrown in a bag or whatever. But with a lot of these, like, you know, I'll deliver a lot of like, you know, buttered, you know, crab legs or whatever. Really? Yeah. I would never order that out. Yeah. Seems I thought I was a little strange as well. Yeah. That's too expensive and too delicate to have it like just out there sitting in a car for a half an hour or 20 minutes or even 15. Like that, that's one like, if I'm not, if you're not making it at home, you probably want to just have that at

29:41a restaurant. Yeah. I know. Like I said, I feel like it's just turned into this thing that now that it's become a possibility. People are like, I think I will get the crab legs delivered to my friend door. Whether or not that's a good idea. I mean, again, do you, if you, if you find, if you have a way, because there are ways to kind of like, quote, revitalize food, you know, like if you know, if you know what you're doing and you can do that, there are certain things. But other things like bread, you're not doing anything with that if it's soggy, right? Because condensation's a thing. And when the food is hot and it's wrapped up, the condensation's going to do things. Yeah. It's just another reason why I don't, I do, I do bring stuff to my house. But I don't think I've ever, I've very, I've very rarely buy food and then drive it a half an hour. Yeah. I've done it to bring food here. And some of it turned out okay. But we had to, like, or what was it? I know I did it once with Taco Bell. I don't think that one went very well. Well, like the chicken sandwiches I brought one time, those were perfectly fine. The Costco hot dogs or whatever they're going to be like cold and the bread's going to be soggy from the humidity and just throwing the microwave

30:45and you deal with it. But it's like, you know, don't take it out on the driver because it's got nothing to do with them. Yeah. Joel says, I've done enough overnight jobs as well. Andrew's not wrong about the overnight crowd. Yeah. I'm a night owl too. I'm much more of a night person than a morning person. The only reason that I go to, I bet at a reasonable hours that I have to be at work fairly early in the morning. But that's, that's where the, you're going to see a lot more strange night owls than strange morning people. Man, I just feel like I've been slandered. I'm David Spade flying the walls back for another season now on audio and video every Monday and Thursday. So many incredible guests will be joining us. Follow and listen to flying the wall everywhere you get your podcast to good be true.

32:07Wait for that. We have that coming up a little bit. Dave Murray, of course, at 330, Matt Polly at 4 o'clock. And that'll lead into Redbird rush hour tonight. And one more reminder, tomorrow we will be starting a little bit late with Cardinals game here on Camel X starting at 12 o' 5. So let's think about this when we're walking like back to the studio during the last top of the hour. I was talking a couple of people in the hallway. It's weird to me that like, we experience time differently on different days. I don't know if I'm saying this the right way, but like some days feel slow other days feel fast. This week has felt weird. But maybe it's because we're out of our routine. Like I had to legitimately ask myself today when we started the show is today Wednesday. Mm hmm. It's going by. This is a quick week. It's, it's going to feel quicker tomorrow with the late start time. We got our little bonus time off during baseball season with afternoon games. We don't complain about that. That's a good time. Not that we don't have fun doing

33:08this, but you know, it feels like it's, I don't know, you guys have been feels like it feels like you're like you're getting away with something. Yeah. You know that feel like you know, you caught a class. I don't know. Although here I am saying when you could a class like I cut a class, I was a dork. You never did. In high school, I never missed anything. You couldn't you couldn't in our high school. Yeah, we'll seem for me. It was not happening. So I mean, I did skip classes in college. Not very often because, you know, got that. Yeah, the GPA to maintain at least a little bit. At least till you're a senior. It matters as long as, as long as the scholarship keeps getting renewed, I was going to be okay. That's all I cared about. But like, yeah, there are times when you're like, I just not, I'm not doing it, but very rarely. But at least in college, though, things are much more about like, all right, whatever is as long as you get the work done, we're not really going to bother you too much. Yeah. It's just that if you're not here enough, you're not going to know enough to do the thing. And then you won't pass the class. And you know, that's going to cause problems. But I, I always thought when people did that, like my friends in high school who went to other high schools, they'd be like, yeah, we cut, we cut six and seven periods today. Like how? How? I felt like we were in a, we were in like a, like a jail on my

34:11schedule. You weren't going anywhere without people knowing you were gone. Yeah, you couldn't hide from it. Now there was nowhere to go. Like you tried to walk out. You're walking out of door. Somebody's seeing it. And whatever class you're supposed to be in, the teacher's going to know you're not there. And it's going to be immediately. Where's Wheeler? Where's, you know, where's Andrew? Where's Rage? So in that way, I guess it was a good thing because I didn't really have that choice. So I had, I was, I was a forced to dork. Yeah. You probably wouldn't have been expelled at my school first skipping a class. Oh, maybe not on first glance, but there would have been a punishment the very first time. We did, I know, did your guys high schools do anything like detention, things like that? Yeah, our detention, you had to clean the school. That's what we had. Really? Yeah. It was always, it was always physical labor. So if you got in trouble, it wasn't just detention sitting in a classroom. They actually called it, I don't know where it came from. They called them jugs. Maybe because you had to pull a thing from a jug back in the day, I have no idea. But it would be a job. You would have to help the maintenance

35:14cleaning the clean something up. You'd have to help fix something. You would sweep clean a floor. It was always manual labor and it was always crappy. And it was a great incentive to not get in trouble. Yeah, I'm wondering if that's probably not legal to do at a public school. I don't know, but maybe not. Yeah, maybe I guess it maybe it falls under corporal punishment. Yeah, like you're being forced enforced into labor. You're probably right. For a public school that would, I'm guessing that would cross the line. I was, I think it was a great thing for us though. I mean, kept most people in line. And you know, you'd see your buddies like raking leaves. Hey, buddy, we'll see you tomorrow. Have a good afternoon. Meanwhile, we're all leaving it like, you know, 230 or whatever it is. We got out of school. Those things were usually two hours. Yeah, it was a two hour after school. Basically work released program. You would work and then you'd be released. And your parents hated it because then they had to change. Like if you had missed the bus, then somebody had to pick you up.

36:15And if you were somebody that was getting picked up at a normal time, well, then they had to change it and you had to go through. So you would actually get double punishment because then your parents would be pissed. There would be no hiding it from your parents because they know you're there. You know, you're, you're there for two hours doing this work because you screwed up. Consequences are a good thing. It's true. Obviously got to follow law. I mean, I'm not suggesting that public schools should be able to do anything that they want to do. But I do think that having real consequences for even small infractions is a good way to go. Did you, uh, did you guys have like the merits or anything like that? Is that how you would get your detention? Or did they just hand away? You just, you just, you did the thing. You got the punishment right then. All right. Hey, show up at the office at 230 and we'll give you your work. And if you're not there and it would always be, it wasn't always the same day, but it would be like the next day. It would never be like, okay, next week. It was always immediate. It was that day. And if

37:16you, by the way, if you, if you had, let's say, for example, I had baseball practice after school. Well, if I got the detention, no baseball practice, you got to go do this. And there's nothing you can do about it. Barry said that we had detention one hour before school. That sounds awful. We actually had them both. Like you, you could actually choose before or after school because again, some people like who had afternoon practice at sports would be like, well, I got practice after. So I'll do the six AM one. Well, you think your parents are going to be thrilled about dropping you off at school at six in the morning. Right. You're going to get, you're getting, this is the point is you're going to wear it one way or the other. Anyway, anyway, it goes. You're not getting away with anything. You're not just getting a note that goes home. It's going to be something an impaction. It does help you with your behavior. I can promise you that.
