Ever wondered why a law in New Mexico humorously prohibits idiots from voting? Or how slow drivers can test even the calmest among us? Join us for a lively episode of the MT Alternative Podcast, where Mike and Tom kick things off with a rundown of their work-related woes and playful musings about recording the podcast outdoors. We delve into the quirky world of driving frustrations and share our thoughts on voting rights, all while teasing an exciting project that’s set to launch around the 4th of July. You'll also hear our nostalgic trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the foolish escapades we got into after getting our driver's licenses, particularly the challenges of passing the driving test.

Get ready for some laughs as we recount our mischievous teenage pranks in a small town, like that time Tom mistakenly ran over a stop sign or the elaborate heist of a community event sign. These stories capture the inventive and rebellious ways we kept ourselves entertained in a quiet, close-knit community. On the tech front, hear our humorous take on modern technology's role in saving money on fast food. From the hilarious mishap involving grandparents getting arrested over a TV chicken deal to our commentary on the retirement of Pat Sajak from "Wheel of Fortune," this episode is packed with playful anecdotes and reflections.

Finally, we tackle the complexities of today's shopping experiences with digital coupons and loyalty cards. Debate the pros and cons of store apps versus phone numbers with us, and laugh along as we explore the peculiar world of unusual drink names. From Baby Mice Wine to the Duck Fart Shot, and even the whimsically named Monkey Spunk, we dissect the strange ingredients and stories behind these bizarre concoctions. So, grab your headphones, tune in, and enjoy this mix of humor, nostalgia, and insightful conversations on the MT Alternative Podcast!

No rain in sight until tomorrow afternoon .

Speaker 2

We got to start figuring out how to do this outside . That's what we need to do .

Speaker 3

Yeah , hey . If anybody has suggestions how we can do this outside , how about shouting out at us ?

Speaker 2

That'd be sweet , we would love you . We could probably figure it out , but someone telling us would be even better .

Speaker 3

Yeah , there's something about being locked up in a room a couple hours screaming out your inner demons , just comforting .

Speaker 2

Spending some quality time together , though , yeah sure .

Speaker 3

But , we're not a couple .

Speaker 2

No , no , no , no , never said that .

Speaker 3

Okay , yeah .

Speaker 2

Quality time , I know . Keep telling ourselves that .

Speaker 3

Yeah .

Speaker 2

That's what they say so . But , so anything happen this morning on your journey here , Anything exciting .

Speaker 3

Not too much . I mean everybody behaved themselves on the road , crap too much . I mean everybody behaved themselves on the road and crap . Nobody cut me off . Uh , you know just the normal . Pull out in front of you and do 20 mile an hour .

Speaker 2

Oh yeah those those , just they're everywhere yeah , I can't really bitch about those guys , I will hurry up and cut you off when I , but now I don't want to move when I I get my car it's like I'm signing an agreement .

Speaker 3

Yes , I agree that these people are idiots and I'll let them slide .

Speaker 2

Yeah , basically that's what you're saying Every time you turn the key .

Speaker 3

you're signing the agreement . Yes , I understand You're an idiot and you do not know how to drive , and I accept the fact that I'm out here with other idiots . A wing and a prayer , hey did you happen ?

Speaker 2

remember last week our little conversation of stupid laws ? I do is one . I found that I really like new mexico . That's a law . You have it . If you're an idiot , you're not allowed to vote . Idiots aren't allowed to vote in New Mexico .

Speaker 3

That is the greatest thing I've heard about anything .

Speaker 2

Why doesn't every state have that ?

Speaker 3

We should we should .

Speaker 2

Yes , we should A petition for that . Are you an idiot ? Yeah , you're not voting . Yeah .

Speaker 3

Get your ballot out of here .

Speaker 2

I just thought that was funny . Going through the rest of them , I'm like oh damn it . That is funny .

Speaker 3

That is funny , you're not allowed to vote if you're an idiot .

Speaker 2

You're not allowed to vote . You're an idiot .

Speaker 3

Okay , well see .

Speaker 2

I understand . I get rid of a lot of people .

Speaker 3

Yeah , I was going to say I understand why that's not really pushed , because then I'd be a Republican every election . Because no idiots would be allowed to vote .

Speaker 2

I think the problem is right now with the two system party system .

Speaker 3

That is the problem and of course you got one that wants to take over everything .

Speaker 2

But you know it's like stupid shit . We've always done .

Speaker 3

I don't understand why it's okay for one party to do one thing , but when the other party does it . Now .

Speaker 2

The world may never know .

Speaker 3

And they're in control , like , for instance I mean , clinton paid $800,000 to hush money . But that's different , of course . Well , you know , how I know that's different Facebook fact checkers told me it was . That's how I know . By God , that's the real story . Facebook fact checkers From Facebook fact checkers the bastards .

Speaker 2

That sounds ridiculous .

Speaker 3

It does sound ridiculous doesn't it ?

Speaker 2

Facebook fact checkers .

Speaker 3

Yes , if you don't quit lying son if you don't quit lying , son , you're going to end up being a Facebook fact checker . Oh no , mommy .

Speaker 1

I better straighten up .

Speaker 3

Yeah , I don't want to do that . Well , I wish it was like that , but it's not . Y'all still want to freaking , censor us .

Speaker 2

We need to save a lot of this stuff for our little thing coming up down the road .

Speaker 3

Oh , you're going to break that egg , huh .

Speaker 2

Yeah , I'm going to break that egg Tom and I have a little something in the works . Yes , a little extra in the works , something that's coming out . 4th of July week .

Speaker 3

Anyway , forrest , you're back . Yes , I'm here . Don't tell the people , forrest . Don't tell the people what , sir , exactly don't tell people what sir exactly good , okay , let's . Let's go back in the day to stupid shit we did as kids . I remember that you know you first got your license something dumb like that here .

Speaker 2

Put this kid behind a steering wheel , you know yeah , shouldn't be out with your friends at that age , but I'm a big boy I think when I'm adult .

Speaker 3

when you did driving test , the one thing you hated the most was what the driver instructor said you didn't stop all the way behind the sign .

Speaker 2

No , I actually aced mine pretty damn good .

Speaker 3

So we ran the damn sign over , hey Tom .

Speaker 2

What's up ? You ever do stupid shit like hit road signs , run them down .

Speaker 3

Did that one time Well this .

Speaker 2

I'm just . I say that because it's

Pranks in a Small Town

Speaker 2

dumb shit . When I was a kid I thought the stop sign was in the middle of the road so I kind of ran it over , put my car against it , pushed it over , come to find out it's on the side of the road . My friends are like what are you doing ?

Speaker 3

I'm like I thought it was in the middle of the road . I was stupid , I was , I was kind of buzzed . I'm not gonna lie right it was probably the shrooms , I don't know as a young kid right , I'll do stuff like that .

Speaker 2

Yeah , I just . It's stupid , I don't know .

Speaker 3

It come to my mind what , what an idiot I was we had one time where we were out in the country and this buddy of mine , he would ease up to a stop sign with his truck , just ease up to it , just barely touch it and then floor it and run it right over . That's kind of what I did . That's why I asked . But there is one other thing I know about a sign do tell , I'm interested .

Speaker 2

Back in the day you always seem to have a little story .

Speaker 3

Yeah , I do .

Speaker 2

Story man .

Speaker 3

And they all come from this little bitty town that .

Speaker 2

I used to live in . Never a dull moment with you guys was there , I'm telling you what this town let's make our own entertainment .

Speaker 3

They were going to shut this whole town down .

Speaker 2

The soul town .

Speaker 3

The whole town .

Speaker 2

Oh , I thought it was a soul town .

Speaker 3

No , no , no .

Speaker 2

Oh , I'm sorry .

Speaker 3

We didn't have anything like that going on there . They were going to shut it all down because of us at one point , but they overcame . We all moved away , moved away , but anyway . So this , this little town , they would have knights of columbus , dances and fish fries . Different , typical small town , sure . So what is the best way to advertise this stuff ? Let's put this big . Okay , it was a tire wheel .

Speaker 2

Okay .

Speaker 3

A wheel to a tire and they had it .

Speaker 2

What kind of tire ? Tractor tire ?

Speaker 3

Well , no , it was just an automobile tire and they had it welded Small To a metal pipe that had a big sign on it and they would put it in the middle of Main Street With all these events .

Speaker 2

That's how you would advertise your little hometown events .

Speaker 3

Yes , like all different kinds of .

Speaker 2

Am I watching the Andy Griffith Show or ?

Speaker 3

It was in a big intersection right in the middle of town and you'd go by and you'd say , oh , knights of Columbus are having a fish cookout Friday . Well , let's do that , let's do that , let's go eat . That's the theme of the event . Yeah , friday fish . We're all Catholic , we can eat fish Friday . Yay , oh , yeah , okay , so that's how that went . Most of the people where I grew up were Catholic . But anyway , funny story , me and these buddies of mine , we found out a few weeks before that we could take stuff and nobody would know for weeks . Take what ? Well , light bulbs , to begin with . First .

Speaker 2

Then it escalated . Wow , so from light bulbs you moved up to what ?

Speaker 3

Street signs in the middle of the road .

Speaker 2

Oh goodness .

Speaker 3

So what we did is we decided that we were going to misplace this sign . Now , the sign sat in the middle of a major intersection in town . Right in Main Street there was a bank on one corner . It had a big clock up on the top .

Speaker 2

of it Sounds like Monty McFly's area .

Speaker 3

Yeah , kind of . It had a temperature reading and the clock and blah , blah , blah . Across the street was an old clothing store that had been there for years . Everybody knew . Did you say there for years ? Everybody knew it was a . Then on the other side , Did you say everybody's dude ? Everybody knew .

Speaker 2

Oh , everybody knew . Okay , okay , I'm sorry , our town wasn't really new like that we didn't do anything .

Speaker 3

Yeah , clothes were optional . Most people wore them , thank God . Anyway , we decided one night , me and these fellas . Well , since it's summer , yeah , hooligan friends . Yeah , we were teenage hooligans and we decided , since it was warm weather and no one had Christmas lights up , we'd do something different . So we decided to take this sign and we were going to hide it where no one would find it . Well , that was dumb it was a little bitty town , everybody's gonna see it right where did you hide it ?

Speaker 3

okay . Well , we decided we . After several thoughts , we decided let's tie it up onto the bank clock right above us . That way it was real easy . We didn't have to take it anywhere . It was heavy . It was a wheel welded onto a metal pipe with a big sign . It was heavy . It took us an effort . Okay , this was , it wasn't easy . Okay , it was fun , but it wasn't easy . Okay , it was fun , but it wasn't easy . All right , so we . Finally .

Speaker 2

It had wheels on it , so we did get to , will it wherever we got to but when we got nobody seen you pushing it around , not at two o'clock in the morning , oh , it's a real dead town .

Speaker 3

Yeah , I mean All right . Yeah , a thousand people maybe .

Speaker 2

Wow .

Speaker 3

Maybe , Maybe . So there was all of them asleep except for five of us .

Speaker 2

The ones that were out there .

Speaker 3

Yeah , so we tie this rope on top of the or around this sign and we climbed up on top of the bank .

Speaker 3

They had this little ladder , for you know construction stuff or whatever shit yeah , so we climb up there and we hoist this thing up on a on a rope , right ? So by the time the weight caused this rope to be real tight . We couldn't get it untied , so we thought , okay , well , the next best thing is we'll just loop it around here in the clock and let it hang , do you know , for three days . They questioned us about this sign , where it went For three days Three days nobody noticed it hanging off a damn clock . Evidently not because wait a minute .

Speaker 2

The second . You know I live in a small town , it sounds kind of dumb .

Speaker 3

Two days later , they call us in there wanting us to give them clues where the sign was . I'm giving you the clues . What time is , is it ? I wonder what time it is ? Well , I can't tell you because it's not there's something in the way , yeah , but yeah , eventually she was the clock we put it up there and it was hanging for a while before anybody ever found it . What a that's ridiculous . It was wonderful .

Speaker 2

I can't believe this actually really happened .

Speaker 3

It really did , it really really happened . How did people not see ? This Well , I don't really remember back that far how it all .

Speaker 2

Did you break the clock ? No , what did you tie this to ?

Speaker 3

The clock . We tied it to the top of the sign and then ramped the rope around the clock itself . That was mounted to the clock . We tied it to the top of the sign and then ramped the rope around the clock itself . That was mounted to the bank . Well that's , I don't tell time still , it's going to get all screwed up . No , no , no . No , it was a . I'm sorry , let me back up here . It was a digital clock . We had one of the first digital clocks .

Speaker 2

Wow , and that would out in Kansas , in the middle of nowhere , and he's a cupcake .

Speaker 3

Digital .

Speaker 2

We were digital in like 80 . Is that like the bit Digital Underground the Humpty Dance ?

Speaker 3

Nothing like it at all . We had no idea what the Humpty Dance was .

Speaker 2

You said Digital Underground .

Speaker 3

That kind of came to mind , not with a town of a thousand people .

Speaker 2

I thought you were throwing hints at me .

Speaker 3

No , I didn't give clues . No clues , not this time .

Speaker 2

No , I told you the whole story ? Why was I guessing ?

Speaker 3

I don't know , but the whole story was right there .

Speaker 2

I told you I tied it to a clock I feel like I'm left out of shit .

Speaker 3

Well , you were then , because you weren't with us .

Speaker 2

Why you didn't live there . Where was I ?

Speaker 3

I have no idea .

Speaker 2

Where .

Speaker 3

I lived Eventually at that point probably .

Speaker 2

That's kind of sad .

Speaker 3

I have heard stories it was kind of sad . Oh baby . That's it for the sign . Kind of disappointed . Not really well , what do you mean ? Not really . Half the people didn't show up to eat fish , but where's ? The fish come in that was what was advertised on the sign .

Speaker 2

Nobody could find well , yeah , because you hit the fucking sign .

Speaker 3

In a plain sight place , but being a , small town .

Speaker 2

Wouldn't word of mouth just be efficient ?

Speaker 3

Well , yeah , it would have been . You said sufficient .

Speaker 2

Sufficient , sufficient . Wouldn't that be , not a fish ?

Speaker 3

That's what they were advertising the fish fry .

Speaker 2

And you ruined it . You live in a small town . How do you not know you're having a fish fry and you ruined it ? You live in a small town . How do you not know you're having a fish fry Exactly ? You need a sign to tell you . Most of us , joe at the freaking laundry mat couldn't tell you , or ?

Speaker 3

Sam at the butcher shop . The Knights of Columbus are having a dance .

Speaker 2

Knights of Columbus . Probably half the town belonged to it . It did . There you go , my dad . Oh , by the way , yeah , we had a fish fry . Oh , when is it ? Oh , we had it last night . Why didn't you have it Everybody's ?

Speaker 3

talked about it . We have some leftovers if you're interested .

Speaker 2

Oh God , good Lord , that is so sad .

Speaker 3

But you know what the funniest thing about this whole story was ? What's that ? What the funniest thing about ?

Speaker 2

this whole story was what's that ?

Speaker 3

It was the same freaking people they had in the police station over the light bulbs . It was all every one of us were the same people . That's why they always came to us .

Speaker 2

They always came to the same people See , at least in my town it was neighborhoods .

Speaker 3

So you knew who did what in what neighborhood . There's no neighborhood .

Speaker 2

No , that's what I'm saying . If something happened in this neighborhood , I know who to go to . Yep , Something happened over in this neighborhood . We know who to go to . Nobody traveled .

Speaker 3

We didn't travel , that's different turf .

Speaker 2

Yeah , well , you didn't want to cross someone's turf , yeah . Like we're big gangs back then , if you crossed over someone , else's turf . You were in the country , Okay turf , you were in the country , okay , oopsie , yeah , sorry , yep I went out .

The street is dirt , it's a dirt road . They don't have any concrete road . They have no concrete streets in this town . The country road in the whole town . There is no concrete street in this whole town you don't get a lot of speeders , then really , well , yeah , you do , you just can't see them . For the dust I was gonna say they wreck their vehicles too .

Speaker 2

Speaker 3

Or you could have got caught by the people who string people up . And yeah , I didn't tell you about those people , though what ? That's another day . Why would you send me that way ? I didn't think you would stop .

Speaker 2

Price Confusion With TV Commercials

Speaker 2

What do you think those little dudes are up to ? I don't know , they're just a little bit pissed off , a little bit pissed off . What are they pissed off about now ?

Speaker 3

One was hungry and the other one was going to get something to eat or something about coupons and the bullshit I never really paid attention .

Speaker 2

You can't buy something without . Oh , I think I know where they might be going . Let's let them tell everybody about it .

Speaker 3

Okay , because I'm a little confused .

Speaker 2

Yeah , I'm a little confused too , but I guess they do have a gripe .

Speaker 4

Hey , hey there , little friend , what's up ? Oh , I'm a little pissed off . How are you ? Oh well , what are you pissed off at now , man ? Well , I'm hungry , Okay , well , have you never been hungry ? Um , I'm hungry quite a bit , okay , well , what happens when you're hungry and you decide Then go and get something to eat . Okay , where are you gonna go ? Go to McDonald , then go and get something to eat . Okay , where are you going to go Go to McDonald's , wendy's , Burger King ? Why ? Wherever ? Wherever they sell food , why , why not ?

Speaker 4

Price ? Price is always the issue . You know what's good . You can save some money if you use an app . You can save some money if you don an app . You can save some money if you don't go . Oh , that's true . Why don't you just use an app ? What's app ? You know they got these apps and you order stuff and then you go and pick it up . You don't even have to tell them it's all ready when you get there .

Speaker 4

Okay , right , yeah , I remember one time that happened . Get there , Okay , right , yeah , I remember one time that happened to us . Oh , what happened , you tell ? Let me explain . It was a pleasant experience , I bet . Yes , I'm going to explain my pleasantries . Oh , I'm listening .

Speaker 4

Okay , well , one day we were going to all eat , we were having a family reunion and we were going to go get chicken . Oh well , we see this commercial on TV . Okay , you get so many pieces for such a little price and then that's such a little price , and then that's like a great deal . Yeah , well , I won't mention the name of the place , why ? Because Kentucky already has enough problems . Oh , okay , I hear you . Sorry , but anyway , we went to the place and we said we've seen your commercial . Wonderful , by the way , that you're going to allow us to have all this chicken For $24.99 or $19.99 . That's a great deal . It's a wonderful deal If you own a phone and have an app . Okay , no , not okay , why ? Because my grandma and my grandpa Effie and Albert Nice names , I changed them . Ah , you finally caught on To protect their innocence .

Speaker 1

You're not like those other two idiots .

Speaker 4

No , I protect their innocence . Ah , good on you , good on you . So , anyway , mom and Pa decided they were going to come to the house and bring chicken . I told them . Well , the commercial said stop buying it this many pieces for this much money . Commercial said stop buying , get this many pieces for this much money . Okay , twelve hours later I'm wondering where the hell is .

Speaker 4

Mom , and Pop Back up Twelve hours . Yeah , what the hell did they get lost ? Where'd they come in from ? No , they got arrested . Why ? Well , turns out that the price I gave them wasn't the price on the app . So then they had to pay the regular price , which was $15 , $20 more . And everybody knows , on a fixed income , you can't just afford Big Stink Cub , you can't just afford . It's easier to raise a damn pack of chickens than to buy ten pieces of them . I'd rather have the whole chicken .

Speaker 4

Why didn't they just ? No , they couldn't call you . They don't have a phone , a cell phone ? Oh , yeah , they had a phone . They could only make one phone call though . Oh , is that where they had the jitterbug or something like that ? No , it's got something to do with the Miranda rights . Oh , oh , they were only allowed one phone call . That's a different kind of phone call , tom , anyway . So that's after the fact . Well , yeah , well , that's what they said . But anyway , it just irritates me that when you tell somebody something on a commercial and you go and get something and it's not that price , maybe they should specify this on the commercial . Yeah , maybe they ought to let you know too , Maybe they did and you just didn't pay attention .

Speaker 4

Well , who's going to pay attention when it's on television ? But it don't affect television , it's only if you have a phone . Oh , you know , I hear this is a problem . It all started out First off . Who's going to have a phone ? If you're watching television , maybe , maybe Listen to this . I have a phone . If you're watching television , maybe maybe Listen to this . I have a phone and I watch television , okay , but maybe , maybe . Okay , grandma , a couple maybes there . Yeah , grandma watches Wheel of Fortune , judge Wapner , yeah , and all that stuff , but don't know how to work a phone .

Speaker 2

That's sad .

Speaker 4

Well , it is sad but it's true , okay . Okay , so she's watching television , right ? Jack Say Jack , a will of fortune . Pat Say Jack , yeah , that guy , whichever guy , okay , his last night , I think Jack's his brother . His last night was last night . Did you know this ? I saw a thing of it . Is that sad ? 40 years as one guy , it's fucking time he retires . Get your ass out of there . Yeah , big Ben . And White thought he was an old ugly man , big Ben and White went there , she's old too .

Speaker 4

Well , she's prettier than him , but anyway , oh , damn , tom , I had a thing the frog that ran over outside is prettier than him . Yeah well , grandma got ran over by a reindeer once , but anyway . Oh , it just makes me upset that my older kin people who are on a fixed income , who don't have access to internet or don't know or understand all this , they see something on television while they're watching their programs days of our lives Programs , anyway they see 16 pieces of chicken for $15 . Well , of course they're going to jump on that . They're old . Yeah well , I don't have no answers . I don't know what to tell you . So they get there and it's $25 . Then you've got to let them go out . Why don't they what to tell you ? So they get there and it's $25 . Then you gotta let . Why go out ? Why don't they ? They're old . Why don't they cook at home ? Have you bought chicken at Walmart lately ? Just have some melba toast or something like old people do . Yeah , yeah , they're gonna let you know what all that's in there . You know , grocery stores do the same shit .

Speaker 4

Now what , yeah ,

I don't even use a card there , the Food Lion . You don't even use a card there , the food lion . You don't have a food lion card . You're full of shit . I do have one , okay , what's it called A food lion card ? No , there's a shit , it's got a little lion head on it ?

Speaker 4

Yeah , but it's called something else . I still have a card , tom . I know you have a card , but I asked you what it was called . I don't really care . I don't really care . I use my phone number . Are you not listening ? No , I listen , but I have a card . I don't have a phone number . You're not playing and you're stupid .

Speaker 4

I got a bill called , but back in the day , when I got the card , I didn't have the same phone number . Well , whose fault is that ? The phone company , tom . I had my phone number . They cheated me . They told me there was one price and when I got to the store , it was another one because I didn't get on the internet . Bullshit . I thought we were bitching about apps for stores and stuff . That's what I just said . The phone company did the same damn thing . Mvp , that's the thing I'm looking for . Mvp hey , whoopie dude , they're all MVP cards . Yeah , well , that's what Food Lion calls their shit . Again , you're an MVP . Oh , so I get to save 20 cents on peanuts this week ? Yay me , wow . You really took this little conversation a little further than I expected .

Speaker 4

I don't understand why , Well , I have a friend who's really upset . Who's your friend ? Let's call her Wild Woman .

Speaker 4

Okay your friend is Wild Woman . Yeah , she asked me to do this . Why would she ask you to do this ? Well , because she's tired of going one place for a price when they change the price when she gets there . That was a good friend that told us to us , yes , said that I'm a little tongue-tied , are you Just a little bit ? Well , don't worry about it . Then , if it was a lot , we'd worry about it . Oh yeah , that's true . I guess Just a little bit Makes sense . So what do we do about this app situation If I go to McDonald's and they say they get a Big Mac meal for $6.99 and I go there and I'm paying $10.99 .

Speaker 1

That kind of sucks .

Speaker 4

Well , why would you do that ? Well , why wouldn't they tell me ? Why do I have to use the app ? I'm coming to you and ordering it . Well , it's kind of like when I was in sales . Okay , when someone calls to check on a price of something , you bullshit them . Well , no , hey , that's what you're starting to tell me . No , I'm not . Oh , okay , I'm going to start to tell you . Let's see where this goes . Okay , well , when the phone rings , what do you do ? It's , do you ? Okay , let's ask this . Okay , you're my customer .

Speaker 1

All right .

Speaker 4

You're in the store . What kind of store ? Uh okay , A furniture store . I don't want to go to a furniture store . That bores me . You're there anyway . Your wife wants something . Oh fuck , damn it . All right , see Stuck there again . Now then that's happened lots of times . Oh , so then I feel better . Thanks , okay . So you're a customer , okay , and we're discussing something . What are we discussing ? Uh , pyramids of Egypt . You're getting a discount , I'm getting a desk Discount . Oh , you know something important ?

Speaker 2

How much am I getting off ?

Speaker 4

It doesn't matter . Oh yeah , something important . How much am I getting off ? It doesn't matter . Oh yeah , it matters . Well , you're getting , okay , right , you don't know , because the phone rings and the salesman the salesperson . I'm getting upset , now don't get upset . The salesperson decides that the phone is more important than you . Okay , first off , you're calling , I'm already here , exactly . So why would I excuse you and go to somebody who ain't even there ? That pisses me off . So why did you go and answer the phone then ? I didn't . You just said you did no . I said if , oh , what if ? Why would you even think like that ? So I'm saying what if you were a customer ?

Speaker 1

That would be rude and I would walk out ?

Speaker 4

Okay , you'd be pissed off . Okay , now you get no sale , right ? Okay ? What does this have to do with an app ? I'm telling you , why would you go to an app ? Okay , you said you went and you had to pay more . No , you didn't . I certainly did . No , you had the right to walk out . Remember , you walked out on the furniture salesman , but I'm hungry , okay , so eat a fucking sofa cushion . You walked out on him . Why ain't you gonna walk out on Mr ? Because I'm talking about a couple hundred bucks to a couple of dollars .

Speaker 1

That's a big difference guys .

Speaker 4

Big difference , tom ? Eh , not that big . I could have bought the sofa and wouldn't have been able to eat for months . Okay , I'm screwed . No , yeah , I'm screwed . No , yeah , I certainly am .

Speaker 4

Okay , first off , why are you searching for a sofa if you can't afford to pay for the damn thing ? I didn't know if there was a layaway plan or something . Yeah , there we are layaway plans . All right . Then why are you putting on my case , layaway chicken ? You know you're not a salesman anymore , right ? You're taking this too personal . No , I don't . Yeah , a little bit . Well , my friends are hurting . Yeah , a little bit , my friends are hurting . They're old people . Oh , excuse me , they're elderly . No , no , no , that's not even better . You know this woman , she ain't gonna settle for that . Close to death they're ? No , no , no , not close to death . They're older than us . Knocking at the Grim Reaper's door ? No , no , no , no , no , they're older than us . That works All right . Okay , I still like knocking at the Grim Reaper's door . Well , just because their social security is one and two don't mean anything . Okay , they're a little old .

Speaker 1

Oh , I'm sorry .

Speaker 4

I said it again . See , you're going to get in trouble , not me . Who's going to get me in trouble ? They'll listen . Oh wait , no , they won't listen . Ah , that's sad they don't have a phone to find the apps to find the discounts so they get to the place and it's more money and they're pissed off . So these are the same people that call and tell you hey , we got your niece , you better pay us this much . Go get some gift cards and send me the numbers . Yeah , yeah , you idiot .

Speaker 4

Or you owe us this much money , don't even know who they are . I'll pay it . Why you missed jury duty . You're going to get thrown in jail if you don't pay it . I didn't even get that letter , but you missed it . If you don't pay us $7,000 in Bitcoin , you're in trouble . Why don't I just get on the next journey ? Oh , wait a minute , sir , tell me how I get to all this Bitcoin so I can send it to you , please . Yeah right , well , first off , you don't hang up ? Oh well , of course not . I don't want to go to jail . I need you to go to the General and buy these gift cards To the Holiday Quickie Mart . But yeah , it's all sad . That is sad . I'm sad for your friend .
