Ever find yourself fiercely attached to your favorite pair of holey socks? You're not alone! Join Mike and Tom as we reveal our own quirks and delve into the mysteries behind life's small attachments in the fifth episode of the MT Alternative Podcast. We're also toasting to our new Facebook page and website, which are buzzing with activity—proof that you're just as excited about our conversations as we are. From a sock's backup strategy to the baffling decision to omit a certain motorcycle brand's name, we're serving up a hefty dose of humor and heart.

But it's not all fun and socks; we've got meatier topics on the table too. Ever wonder about the socially charged discourse filled with political hot potatoes? We're wading through the thorny issues of illegal immigration, the scrutiny of corporate giants, and the juicy question of what exactly our taxes are up to. It's a no-holds-barred chat, balancing curiosity with frustration as we sift through the complexities of agendas and the pursuit of consistency in this whirlwind of policies.

Finally, strap in for a culinary rollercoaster as we traverse the globe through the lens of Lay's chip flavors—yes, you read that right. Imagine a world where goat kebab chips and romantic cheese are the norm. Whether you're a snack aficionado or just looking for a good chuckle, we're dishing out our thoughts on international cuisine, one crunchy bite at a time. And as we reflect on the week gone by, we're sharing the ups, the downs, and the moments where a tipple turned into a tumble. So, grab a bag of your favorite chips, and let's chat.

Speaker 2

Well , do tell , since we've done anything and it's been fun . Oh , there's been . Certain things happen in both our lives , single and together . What's happened in yours , I don't know , just different things . How much has happened in mine ? I'll be perfectly honest , it's pretty boring . Well , out on the farm I did a lot of cleanup and shit this week and found some junk I needed to get rid of .

Speaker 2

Anything worth anything ? No , it's all dump stuff , junk , go to the dump , got it ? Yeah , I thought it was worth something at one time , but then my wife insured me it wasn't and I had to take it to the dump . Yeah , I've been there , done that Marriage . Woohoo , unfortunately , they're right . Why am ?

Speaker 2

I hanging on to this stupid shit . Well , it's like holy underwear . What in the heck have you got these in your drawer for ? Oh , because they kind of fit comfortably . Yeah , it's like holy underwear . What in the heck have you got these in your drawer for ? Because they kind of fit comfortably . Yeah , there's a little spot where there's some tears . And if I kept the only two pairs that didn't have holes in them , my drawer would be empty . That would be sad .

Speaker 1

Yes .

Speaker 2

Nobody wants an empty underwear drawer . No socks in there or those holy two . No , most of them are , well , the three pair that I have . The three pair , well , yeah , there's only seven days in a week , so three pair , why would you need any more ? I have like 10 , 12 pair . There's only seven days in a week . Why the hell would you have that ?

Speaker 1

many . What if I ?

Speaker 2

can't do laundry one week , then what ? Well , okay , I don't do laundry a lot of weeks , I still have three pair of socks . You have backstories I have backup socks .

Speaker 2

Well , wait a minute , wait a minute , wait a minute . I didn't wash my socks , so now , all of a sudden , they disappear . No , well , they'll probably wear out eventually . Wear out All socks , will ? What you think they're like underwear ? You wear them six months and they get holes in them . Yours only take six months . Well , I do wash them every once in a while . I hope so . And you do buy the colored ones , right ? What Underwear ? Well , that way , if you have skid marks , they don't show up . Well , skid marks are different for me . I don't have underwear . Commando , yep , what are you ? Suzuki , hitachi , hitachi , speaking of Suzuki , yeah , this is a different name that we're going to use because we don't want to say the real name of the motorcycle .

Speaker 2

So , her name is Suzuki . Suzuki , what's with her little shaving problem ? Oh , she has an issue A little bit Evidently . She has an issue a little bit evidently . I'm thinking to myself . She complains . The first thing she complains about is the guys that she attracts . Okay , okay , well , let's discuss the the guys that she attracts , like the one you told us she should date . No , I just pointed out that he was in the same situation . She was so .

Speaker 2

So , she ought to research him . Suzuki didn't take it that way . No , suzuki did not . She thought I was a fairy godfather and that was going to be the love of her life . And now , all of a sudden , I'm the bad guy . But in my defense , this is what I want to hear Go ahead . In my defense defense , I was drinking at work . No , no , no , no before work . That does make a difference . It does before and during is completely different you're right .

Speaker 2

I don't think either one's good , but there is a difference . Have you ever drank before work ? Absolutely . Have you ever drank during work ? Absolutely have you , absolutely . Have you ever drank during work ?

Speaker 1

I don't want to answer that . You don't have any questions .

Speaker 2

I don't want to answer that you don't have any answers for all the questions . I don't think I should have to answer that . You shouldn't , but I was just making a point . Sometimes have I done it lately In the last 20 years ? No , because you wouldn't Not grown up and using the right mind . Yeah , we'll go with that . Yes , Okay . See , yeah , that worked . What are you looking up Porn ? No , I got a message , oh , from a listener who turns out to be a pretty decent listener . Listen Texas . So we are getting out and abroad .

Speaker 2

Oh shout out to Texas Yay , texas , listener lives in Texas , so we are getting out and abroad . Oh , shout out to Texas . Yay , texas , Austin , and anyway , wait a minute , wait a minute . Austin , what the hell's going on with Austin ? Yeah , it's in Massachusetts , no , no , no , no , no , not Boston , austin , the same confusion that happened in Road Trip . I want to know if the rumors are true , austin's getting pretty liberal . I'll have to ask . I would appreciate an answer on that . Okay , I hope it's not true , listener . In Austin , Texas , are you becoming a leftist state or are you the right way ?

Speaker 1

Even purple's cool .

Speaker 2

I mean the other way , not the right way , the other way . I mean Even purple's cool . I mean the other way , not the right way , the other way it is the right way . But anyway , let me know You're confusing our little audience that we have . We have tens of people listening . Do we have that much ? I think almost ten . That's pretty awesome If I could get the people on Facebook to open their . Actually , who ?

Speaker 1

cares .

Speaker 2

I've had a good time doing this . Who cares ? This is fun . Yeah , I get to drive miles away from my house , get liquored up and drive back .

Speaker 1

It's awesome .

Speaker 2

I pray for him every time he leaves my house . I pray for anybody else too . No , it's not that bad .

Speaker 1

Just kidding , just kidding , it's so much fun .

Speaker 2

We are having so much fun here , but what has happened out of the way in your life this week ? Anything stand out in the news News wise , yeah , let's hear it . Have you heard about the old ? It's not an invasion , just people kind of wanting to come into the United States , pushing the National Guard around , that kind of stuff . Oh , nothing . Talking about the people who tore down the fence ? Yeah , those illegals Damage to American

Discussion on Political Agendas and Taxes

Speaker 2

property . Illegal immigrants To come into our house . Now , wait , wait , wait , wait . Let me ask you this . I live in America . There are laws that say if people decide to come into my house unprovoked , I'm allowed to defend myself . Correct ? Certain states ? Yeah right , my state , your state ? Yes , this is true . However , do not let that happen again on a border state , because then we're being discriminatory .

Speaker 1

Here's where it cracks me up .

Speaker 2

I am not discriminatory , I am . I would love hey , immigrants are fine Come here legally To have people . Yes , to have people come here with their dreams , like my ancestors did . Coming here with an actual , some usefulness ? Yes , and as my ancestors , your ancestors , joe .

Speaker 2

Biden says I should come here and get free stuff . No , it's not just a raffle . I mean you don't get to . Just we have our homeless people . Now , granted , I'm living around different states . I do know there's a lot of homeless people that do prefer that lifestyle . Right , right , right , right Right . There's a lot of them that come on hard times . Why are we helping them ? Here's the other issue why is ?

Speaker 2

Juan from wherever , and I just use that name in general . We know a guy named Juan who we like pretty good , so we're not being discriminatory . Why you hate mommy Juan ? Anyways , juan , anywho , we have no problem .

Speaker 1

Tom's favorite saying anywho .

Speaker 2

Getting back to the border crisis , whatever it is Boredom crisis , it's an invasion . Why is it mostly men ? There's a video out now that you brought that up .

Speaker 1

Yes , Do you see any women ? Do you see any ?

Speaker 2

children Different news .

Speaker 1

Yeah , not just Fox News , not just Fox ABC . I mean , do you see how many children Different news ? Yeah , not just .

Speaker 2

Fox News , not just Fox , abc , nbc . I mean Tearing down a fence .

Speaker 1

There are only men there Pushing over the National Guard .

Speaker 2

There are no women , no women .

Speaker 1

No children .

Speaker 2

Just men , people don't find that funny . I'm not curious about that at all . Anyway , no , no , anyway , it ticks me off it Anyway , no , no , Anyway , it really kind of well , it makes me wonder what are you guys thinking about ? Is the way everything has to ? Everything has to be their way ?

Speaker 1

I understand .

Speaker 2

You know what I mean yes , it's like you can't think like this . If you think like us , it's okay . Well , that's , that's stupid , that's bullshit , let's have . Let's have separation . I don't know what's going on , but we'll go with it . Let's have separation of church and state . Don't preach in school , don't do that . It should be separate . However , exactly , why don't I let my trans and the government oversteps too .

Speaker 2

Why don't I let my trans daughter come in there and read your child a story ? No , why ? No need for that . Listen , that is very discriminatory . Yeah , I don't have a problem with that If you're coming in as pretending to be something and you're just acting that way , but my kids don't need to hear your whole life story of what to story , just like your kids don't need to hear about my Jesus . Absolutely right , see , it goes both ways . Exactly right , tom . But we're wrong , we're discriminatory when we say something , but they're not . Why ?

Speaker 1

does that make sense to anybody ? They ?

Speaker 2

call anybody that disagrees with them fascists . Well , you're the exact terminology of a fascist trying to stop everybody from what they want , what they believe in . That's stupid , Like wiping before you poop yeah , that makes no sense Exactly .

Speaker 1

The job's not even done yet . Have you tried ?

Speaker 2

that before ? Is that how you know it's an unrelated issue ? Okay , anyways , that's unrelated . Okay , well , it sounds kind of related , but if you don't want to talk about it , I understand . That is kind of embarrassing . I'm sure that's why we don't want to talk about it . All right , okay , why ?

Speaker 1

would you do ?

Speaker 2

that Anyways , I know what you're saying about people going way out . And don't get us wrong , the right also has their fiercest they have their own faults . They have their weirdos to the other side . They got the way . Other side , like I , will blow you up if you don't believe , like I do . We don't believe that .

Speaker 2

Both those sides we don't need , yes , neither one . Like I said before , what happened to all the moderates ? Yeah , they have moderately . Where is it Common sense , people ? Wait a minute . Keep the government out of all our shit . Yeah , keep the government to a minimum , just a minimum . Somebody to help us , not to overtake us . Exactly , our government was here , to you know , set up an agenda for this country . This administration certainly has an agenda against us , exactly . Here's the thing .

Speaker 1

I mean , let's be realistic Tom .

Speaker 2

They all have an agenda somewhere along the line we all do Everyone .

Speaker 1

They all do .

Speaker 2

Everybody does . I mean , if you're going through life without an agenda , no , but I'm talking politics .

Speaker 1

It's all a power trip .

Speaker 2

Yeah , if you're going through life without an agenda , good or bad , you're losing . You have to have an agenda to move forward in anything politics or life . If your agenda is to rip people off , that's pretty much what you're going to do . Yeah , if your agenda is to work hard and earn something , I want to know how politicians get in with a $250,000 a year job , a dollar a year job and all of a sudden worth millions . Okay , it's kind of funny . How come no one ever questions this ? Yeah , I mean , people do , but not enough . Have you seen ? This week Apple is under scrutiny because they monopolized .

Speaker 1

Yeah , why is ?

Speaker 2

government under scrutiny for monopolizing that situation .

Speaker 1

Does the government ?

Speaker 2

have anything to do with Apple ? Really ? Well , no , but it's the same principle they're monopolizing . I mean taxes . For instance , I buy a used car . The used car has been taxed several times . However , when I buy it , I have to be taxed again . Tax on everything . It's not a . Tax on your paycheck . Tax when you buy something Tax when you buy something else , in my opinion Tax on this .

Speaker 2

In my opinion , when the same vehicle has been taxed three times , that's not a vehicle tax , that is a personal tax on each individual person , and if you guys out there don't see this and allow it to keep continuing , they're going to tax us on everything several different times . Here's the thing , tom . People get pigeonholed into what they're . Democrats and Republicans Can't see me throwing a quotation mark .

Speaker 1

You should see what he's doing now .

Speaker 2

I'm a Democrat . Okay , listen to both sides of the party . All the time , I've always been one that voted for whoever I thought was going to be the best . It wasn't bad If it was Republican , democrat , libertarian . Never voted for Libertarian Right , right , I mean , I just see that as a no-win , but I suppose everybody feels that way . That's why they don't get in , so whatever . But anyways , my point is I don't vote by party , I vote in my best interest , and that's what a lot of these people Donald Trump's mean he put mean tweets out . He did this . How was the economy , his tactics , a little questionable .

Speaker 2

It's his policies that's the word I'm looking for . He had good policies , no wars . We had nothing . And then , if you want to talk about what is it ? Syria with the bombing ? Well , they kind of egged him on for that . He didn't want anything to really do with it , but it happened . It happened under his watch , so it happened , it happened . But my point is everything was good . I'm not just talking about gas , I'm talking about regular life in general . Right , people say , oh , I didn't see a difference .

Speaker 2

I can tell you right now a difference in my paycheck from then and now is a big difference , and my insurance and groceries and gas , and oh , I could just go on and on and on , but boy , this is turning into quite the rant , tom .

Speaker 1

Hasn't it , though . How does this happen ?

Speaker 2

This is what we're here for . We're here to open the third eye . You can only see the way he looked at me when he said third eye , it's my eye's mind , my mind's eye , not my eye's mind . It's my mind's eye , not the old third eye like we used to talk about in high school . See , this way , I don't have to edit anything . No , editing , no , we don't edit much anyway . Yeah , just kind of go with the flow .

Speaker 2

We enjoy what we like to talk about . Did that make sense ? Are you ready for the show at work this week ? Oh yeah , End of the month Four days .

Speaker 1

Yeah , two trucks , end of the month , four days , yeah , two trucks and nowhere to put it , it's been a minute .

Speaker 2

huh , it has been a minute . What are you thinking of ? Well , the last time we took a break , it kind of messed up . Oh , it's not going to this time if we take a break . I can promise you that . Oh , cool . So we to this time , if we take a break , I can promise you that . Oh cool . So we have a little bit . Yeah , we have a little bit now Absolutely . Maybe we ought to just keep going .

Speaker 1

I'll keep going . That's fine with me .

Speaker 2

Plenty to say plenty to talk about . We've got the game on in the background Background game Appease Tom . So I still have yet to turn around and look at it , because I don't want to jinx us . I'm I'm bad at that . I'm the same way , tom , I can jinx a game , just ask them . I love my new England Patriots , but I'm the worst person to watch a game with Me too . I'll just check later . Oh let me watch the game with you . No , you don't want to do that ,

Work Birthday and Unique Chip Flavors

Speaker 2

so .

Speaker 2

So , Is anybody's birthday coming up at work next month ?

Speaker 1

I don't know . I hope so we have a nice meal I could use a meal .

Speaker 2

We have a meal every time someone has a birthday coming up . It kind of sucks when there's like seven of us in one month .

Speaker 1

You all have to share it .

Speaker 2

Yeah Well , that's best . You have to share it ? Yeah Well , that's best . Why is it best ?

Speaker 1

Well no , because then there's only one , two people buying . Two of them are going to buy shit . That's not fair .

Speaker 2

Well here's what's not fair is when six of you are having the same birthday month and you all got to share and nobody else did . It's great when my birthday's in August and then they win one , you're the only one , so everybody's got to pitch in except for you Now . In January we got four of us Josh , rachel and who knows whoever else . I don't know that person but we had to help buy everything , bring stuff .

Speaker 1

That's part of the deal .

Speaker 2

Well , that's our birthday . We shouldn't have had to . Oh , you had to chip in , yeah , oh yeah , because you were buying for someone else's birthday yeah , for rachel's and josh's well , that wasn't . Their parents didn't think this out properly at all . Obviously they didn't know . They didn't see you could have been march , nobody else ? Yeah , our department . But let's think about nine months before . January was what ? Valentine's Day ? It was close . It's close February to .

Speaker 2

January , march or April , maybe that's nine months , okay , but not February , okay . Well , maybe I was a little late Around that time . Oh , so you were there , but you just didn't really mature yet inside . Maybe dad was a little . Was he out ? No , that's how I got here , see , why would you ask that ?

Speaker 1

Was he wearing a ?

Speaker 2

beanie no .

Speaker 1

Oh okay , no , beanie bag , ohbag , oh that was .

Speaker 2

That was the freaking reviews . It was reviews on condoms and stuff . Speaking of reviews , have you seen all the different flavors that companies are coming out with for their product , like Lay's Potato Chips ? Oh , yes , holy crap , because we were talking about it earlier . I happened to look some up . Tom , you won't believe this . Oh , I probably would .

Okay , I don't have roasted chicken , but I have this bag of roasted chicken chips , won't that ? Do climb your ass out of the bed at one o'clock in the morning , like everybody else does and go to the refrigerator and get a damn chicken leg . Why would you rattle a bag and wake everybody up in the house , including the dogs ? And then you gotta share everything because it's already there , you have it , it's , it's available .

Speaker 2

Yeah , it's available . If you're a prowler , okay . Anyways , they have spare rib flavor . Oh , that's nice . Right , once again , why would I eat a chip ? That makes me want to eat supper . How about an oven-baked crunchy biscuit flavor ? Oh , let's do that with gravy by God , grilled bacon , tomato and spring onion . How come you're moving by so fast ?

You're pulling the damn seaweed tater chip with squid on it and the suction cup's right off the refrigerator . Wait a minute , aren't they just baked into the chip ? I mean , I'm not really pulling out a tentacle or anything . Well , that's kind of what it said . Oh yeah , but I think it's just a flavor . And besides , you didn't read anything about testicles . Why would it have the testicles in there ? There was nothing in there about testicles . You just asked me Tentacles , me Tentacles , oh , tentacles . Sorry , my fault .

Speaker 2

Yeah , there you go , always hearing what you want to hear . Okay , well , unfortunately my hearing goes out when it gets time to shut her down . Yeah , I hear you , tom , in the little black book of conversations . Let's see what's up with the pocketbook ? Little fiasco there at work , oh my goodness what happened there ?

Speaker 2

Okay , some other lady cleaned out our closets . There's another lady at your house that cleans out your closets . But you said another lady . Yeah , well , I have to say some other lady when I'm talking about my wife , because so I won't be naming names . Okay , so some other lady's cleaning out my closets and gives me three bags of shoes and pocketbooks , purses to lay people and says take these to your work and see if they want them . Now , see , that's what you're doing . You're pulling it . Oh , it's a habit . I'm sorry , stop pulling it , tom , I pull it a lot , it'll grow .

Speaker 2

Stop pulling it , oh , anyway . So I'm thinking to myself all these girls are going to go nuts over these three bags of clothes and shoes .

Speaker 1

And they certainly did .

Speaker 2

Oh , they did .

Speaker 1

So I take them in there .

Speaker 2

Watching a Macy's sale or something going on , man , back in the 50s , where ladies were just beating the shit out of each other . Here's what got me . This was my favorite part . Okay , we're not supposed to do this on work time , right , gina ? We got like vultures out there picking through these purses . Now , keep in mind , when my wife buys a pocketbook , it's not like a Walmart pocketbook .

Speaker 1

Right , right right .

Speaker 2

They were pretty nice . Brand name they decided they're picking . Here comes the boss . Yep , what's going on out here ? And then the very next thing I hear is oh , I like this one .

Speaker 1

There was another one out there .

Speaker 2

Yeah , they all start , and then the next thing I see is the boss was carrying her own pile of merchandise to the office . And she still has it in the room for some reason , but there was a couple left in the other idiot squads .

Speaker 1

They took pictures . Now what happened ? Was there any ?

Speaker 2

shoes left . Did they grab all those ? I think those all were gone . They took pictures .

Speaker 1

Now what happened ? Was there any shoes left ?

Speaker 2

Did they grab all those . I think those all were gone . That's unbelievable , that's funny . That's funny , but it was just crazy to kind of watch that . It was like a pick and swat .

Speaker 1

I thought that was very humorous . It was cool .

Speaker 2

But yeah , and what about ? Hey , we have to work on a Saturday , we get out at 3 . We still have time to go poke one out , yeah .

Speaker 1

All right .

Speaker 2

Let's take a little pausey-poo . Some reason it started when we sat down . Oh wow , it's automatic . Yeah , automatic . I'd just like to throw a disclaimer out there . When Tom and I say the name Suzuki Tom , would you like to finish this ? Yes , it means some other motorcycle , exactly , yeah , we don't want to disclose names when we tell stories . He says it's some other motorcycle . Yes , suzuki is not the real name , it's some other motorcycle , some other motorcycle . Yeah , kind of like when I mentioned my wife's name , it's some other lady .

Speaker 2

Ah , yeah , when I accidentally say tammy or something , it means some other lady , not my wife per se , right ? Just , it's just a name you're throwing out there , yeah , just right some other . If it's his wife , he'll say my wife . Right , right , I will try . Tammy's just a name . He'll say my wife .

Speaker 2

Right right , I will try . Tammy's just a name he's throwing out there . Yeah , like Suzuki , that means some other lady and Suzuki means Some other motorcycle . There you go . It's our way to keep out of court . I mean not being disrespectful for people . That and HR . I have my own chair in HR . What are you talking about ? You have my own chair in HR . What are you talking about ? You have your own coffee cup too . They take care of you there .
