Dustin's Mom, 35mm Film Cameras, NAB 2024 and Serial Killing
In this very touching episode, the guys sit back and watch the Celebration Bermuda grass slowly take root in Dustin's backyard while Dustin peels back the layers of his childhood, recounting a time when he walked in on his mother bathing. Afterwards, the guys discuss film cameras, specifically the Canon Elan 7NE, amongst other topics.
Hey tell me about how.
Speaker 1:Adam is quitting the industry. What Didn't you tell me? Your gay boyfriend, adam, is going to quit shooting weddings.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean why was that?
Speaker 1:The gay boyfriend part that I think you made up.
Speaker 2:Welcome back to the Video. Bros podcast everybody.
Speaker 1:Yeah, welcome to the Video Bros podcast. We are bros that used to do videos.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we do all sorts of stuff. I mean I guess you still do. I mean I guess you still do stuff and we care about all sorts of things.
Speaker 1:I don't do shit about. Fuck. Hey, I got my grass in the ground today. I planted plugs. Yeah, I'm trying to grow $20,000 worth of grass for like 60 bucks. So I've got time on my side and I'm going to need it because I'm farming my own. Celebration Bermuda.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:The finest Bermuda ever created. Wow, it can only be grown it can't be grown from seed. So you got to buy sod or you got to buy plugs, and the smallest possible amount that I could invest in this is I think it was 68 bucks or something for 72 plugs. And I've planted my 72 plugs and I'm going to wait for them to grow and take over and I think the area I planted them will fill in in about two years and then I'll start harvesting more plugs from there to then start doing my or actually maybe I'll do sprigs, but anyways, I'm going to start harvesting from there to fill in my side lawn and then after that, maybe I'll do my back lawn, because I I don't know. I did the math on all my square footage and it was going to be about $20,000 to just buy sod, which would be nice because it would be done in one day. But who's got that kind of cash for grass? Now, you spent that much grass, that much cash on fake grass. How's that working out?
Speaker 2:Awesome man, I love it. You really glad you did it. Yeah Me and the kids just camped out on the artificial tree. I was on the turf in the backyard last night, or not last night, but over the weekend, oh you backyard camp.
Speaker 1:That's a fun thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Super cute. I set up the Bose S1 speaker and then my wife's tiny little laptop and we watched. We watched the Trolls movie and it was dope. We watched it in the tent and did you all stay the full?
Speaker 2:night, oh you know what? Obviously. So we didn't stay out there the whole night because we live, our backyard is off of an alley and we live downtown, so there's a lot of homeless. But I am going to set up the tent on the balcony soon, which is up off of the ground, obviously in front of the house, and we will sleep up there. I'll let them do it up there, just because nobody can really get to them up there. I'm not really trying to encounter a homeless person in the middle of the night trying to snuggle up next to me and my kids in the tent.
Speaker 1:When I was a kid, we slept in the fort sometimes.
Speaker 1:We had a fort in the backyard which really is just like a playground. We had a badass playground. I think my grandfather and grandmother must have bought it for us. I had an interesting childhood in that in our house we were middle class but the attitude was that we were poor. There was a lot of talk of we can't avoid this. We can't avoid that. My parents made it always seem like there was a lot of money stress. I know that we were trained. You will not order anything other than water for a beverage at a restaurant. That kind of thing.
Speaker 2:Was it frugality? Or was it what were they trying to teach you? Because isn't your mom a federal prosecutor putting black people in prison for living? I hear there's good money in that.
Speaker 1:My mother is a prosecutor at a county level, and a county that doesn't have a lot of money.
Speaker 2:Oh, and they don't have a lot of black people, right? Tell me they don't have a lot of black people.
Speaker 1:I don't really know what kind of people are oh my God, she's bad. Honestly, I think it's white people. I think it's like in Texas and it's kind of out in the country.
Speaker 2:There are a lot of white people in Texas.
Speaker 1:She started that career after I went off to college. My mom originally was a high school dropout. She got her GED when I was in elementary school. She started going to junior college and she graduated law school when I was a junior in high school. She didn't actually start earning a decent living until I was already an adult and out of the house and stuff An assistant district attorney. I don't know how much my mom makes, but I don't think it's a lot. I don't think it's a lot Like. You know what I mean. It's not like she's an ambulance chaser, you know it's a government job. So it's like how much do you think they really pay? I mean it's a good job.
Speaker 2:They pay decent. Actually, government jobs do tend to overpay because they're not spending their own money. It's not like they're running a business. I don't know.
Speaker 1:I doubt that she makes a. I mean, I don't really know, I'm not gonna ask why not, but like it wouldn't surprise me if my wife makes more. I'm not. It's just not my business. Just call her. But most of our household income came from my stepfather who worked in pipeline designing basically like oil refineries and stuff like that, he would drill the pipe. He would. That's right. So Is that why your mom married him At a certain point? I do like how you just carry on.
Speaker 1:Cause this is not something I'm gonna entertain At a certain point.
Speaker 2:I respect you for that.
Speaker 1:The industry was on the down and everybody got laid off and then he became very ill and he was terminally ill for 12 years, he slowly died. Oh my gosh. Most of the time he was not really able to work.
Speaker 2:Yeah that's the problem, and so, yeah, I do think money was really hard.
Speaker 1:But the reason why I say like it's a really interesting and unique upbringing is because, even though in our household, you know, there was struggle and we were kind of at the bottom end of the middle class, my grandmother married well and my grandfather was quite wealthy, so there was this kind of thing of like on a day to day basis. We were like poor kids but then like, oh, it's time for back to school. Grandma was gonna take us to her personal shopper at Macy's and buy nicer clothes than anyone else at our school had, for no fucking reason. And so now we're just gonna be in these fucking nice ass clothes, only ordering water at restaurants to save money.
Speaker 2:You're wearing like fucking Ralph Lauren.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, literally. Literally, it was like it was Ralph Lauren and Polo and stuff like that Cause we had standardized dress at school, which is not exactly uniform, but it's basically a uniform. So you had to wear either khakis or navy slacks. You couldn't wear shorts, couldn't wear t-shirts or anything. You had to wear a button-up shirt that was either white or baby blue, and then it could have. You had to have button-down colors, which is absurd, but it could have short sleeves, so you could basically have you know, like how Dwight Schrute always had button-up shirts with short sleeves. You could kind of do that. But yeah, like most of the parents, first of all people didn't have a lot of money and then if they did like, they wouldn't buy nicer khakis to send their kids to school in you know, Cause they're like, that's just school clothes, so they would buy whatever shit was at Walmart.
Speaker 1:And then I don't know, I don't know why I brought this up, though. What were we talking about that I first started trying to-.
Speaker 2:I don't know, but like it does remind me of this kid that I knew in sixth grade and like a little bit, like in middle school, maybe into high no, I think I only knew him in middle school and he was like this cool kid who's, like this black kid who would come to school wearing like polo. I think he wore a lot of polo stuff and I think he also probably wore Fubu too and I was like, but I just always assumed you know what, this is kind of messed up. I always assumed he was poor, I don't know why, maybe cause he was black. That sounds horrible.
Speaker 1:But I always assumed how about you just go ahead and delete that?
Speaker 2:podcast. Well, here's the story. Do you want to hear the story or not? First of all, I was in sixth grade.
Speaker 1:I'm worried you not to say shit like that.
Speaker 2:He was in sixth grade. We were in sixth grade. I didn't know anything about the world and he was like he came to school like dressed nicer than me, and I was like, oh man, like in my head I was like, oh, maybe it was cause he Maybe it was cause like when you look down you're like maybe I'm poor. You know what it is. I think it's just that kind of like hip hop culture where, whether you're rich or not, you kind of act the same. I think that's what it was. It was like it was an optical illusion and I think his parents had like pretty good jobs and yeah, yeah, I remember that that was an interesting time for me, cause I was like learning a little bit about like money and stuff, cause I didn't really know, I didn't grow up knowing anything about money really and I was like, oh, you could wear a fooboo and your parents could have a really good job and you could come to school and listen to DMX and act like everybody else.
Speaker 1:I don't know where your socioeconomic background has to do with DMX, but okay.
Speaker 2:Not much. That's the point of the story, right, dustin? I'm trying to educate you.
Speaker 1:It has. Don't educate me, it has some that's just one of those weird memories I have from middle school, that's all. There's not, I'm not going anywhere with it.
Speaker 2:It's just I'm telling you this thing that happened, that's all.
Speaker 1:I've talked quite a bit on the podcast about this movie that I shot, that was the DP of, and you know I got really like I did it not free, but like basically free.
Speaker 2:Well, especially the post and you know, part of it was a guy oh God, is he still going.
Speaker 1:No, it's it's over, right, it's more or less over. What do you mean? It's sort of over.
Speaker 2:Don't give like six hard outs on this project.
Speaker 1:Well, I've passed it off to the audio guy, and so when he's done with his part, he's going to give me stems, and then I'm going to have to export the master. Why is it so funny?
Speaker 2:Because you're not done, just say you're not done.
Speaker 1:No, I'm going to, but I'm not really working on it?
Speaker 2:Are you done Working on it? At some point I'll get files and all you don't have to do any more work is what you're telling me.
Speaker 1:I'll have to do some export, I'll have to export the masters, but like the actual work, work is done. I got to move some files around, but anyway, it has occurred to me that like, if I find out, you know the guy that's making the movie, you know like, you know he played the whole like hey, I'm paying for this for myself. You know, I just moved to this country. You know I don't have a lot of money.
Speaker 2:The old refugee scheme.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it has occurred to me, though, like if I find out he has a lot of money, I'm going to be fucking sick, because you never know, he's probably got that oil money you never know who could have, like I don't know he could. Who knows he could?
Speaker 2:be a prince or something. Did he talk like this when?
Speaker 1:he was talking to you. Well, no, he's Nigerian. Oh, and I'm not doing that voice either. And also, you should not just do the voice you just did.
Speaker 2:I do it all the time. I'm actually getting really good at Indian stuff.
Speaker 1:And I just hey, just audience. Just so you know Michael's not doing an impression of an Indian guy, he's just doing an impression of his own father-in-law, so it's not racist. I did it in front of him and he laughed so.
Speaker 2:I think it's fine.
Speaker 1:Well, people from other places have a much better sense of humor than America.
Speaker 2:Also people from different like eras, like different people who were born much earlier than us. They don't care, Right.
Speaker 1:They don't give a fuck. No. I always tell my wife we're the ones that are really uptight.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we are uptight. I was like I think I was born in the wrong gender. I should have been born 50 years ago so I could just speak my mind. Mm-hmm. That actually sounded pretty bad. Now that I've said it out loud, I do think it does sound a little bit odd. Mm-hmm, Mm-hmm. That should be the sound bite for the Instagram this week.
Speaker 1:I bought a camera today.
Speaker 2:Oh, no, was it the Canon. What the hell did you go? Know me, no. Why are you just buy a Mamiya 7 II and be done with it?
Speaker 1:I don't know, I don't know what that is, but that doesn't mean my needs Mamiya 7 II.
Speaker 2:It's a rangefinder.
Speaker 1:Film. I don't know what that even. How could that possibly meet my needs? It's so cool, yeah, but do you know why I bought a Canon?
Speaker 2:Yeah, he spent an hour telling me about it like a week ago and I'm still carrying.
Speaker 1:I want to be able to use my own lenses that I already own on it. Modern lenses, yeah, great. So if I bought that, whatever you're saying, then I also have to buy lenses. Anyways, you didn't even ask what I spent on it $100. Oh, I was going to say $300.
Speaker 1:No, I mean I found. So I went to KEH and I looked at a bunch of, I did a bunch of research. And then I went to KEH and got a bunch of cameras in my hand and I kind of narrowed down that what I really wanted was an Elon 7 in E. Now how?
Speaker 2:did you okay, tell everybody what kind of camera that is and why you settled on that?
Speaker 1:It's a film camera, yeah, still camera for the idiots out there. Yeah, yeah yeah, still, it's a still. It's a still. Yeah, not a cinema camera. No, no, no, it is a stills camera from like I guess I could look it up. I want to say like around 2004. What's the format? 35. 35 millimeter yeah 35 millimeter single lens reflex. Like you know how everybody now uses a DSLR, We'll just get rid of the D. It's just an SLR. Yeah, it's just a single asset reflex, not digital.
Speaker 1:But it's got the same. It's got an EF mount and it's got the autofocus and everything is very similar to yeah, so this line of cameras started around 2004, but the NE is the latest of that, so I don't know what year that went in.
Speaker 2:What did that cost back then? Do you know? Do you know what they priced it new?
Speaker 1:I don't know. I know that this was not, this was sort of their prosumer. So they had consumer stuff like Rebels, and then they had, like, like the one that is supposedly the best one they ever made is called a no, no, no, I have one of those A2.
Speaker 2:Oh dude it's the A5. It's the A5. I meant to say A5.
Speaker 1:V1 or something. No, the V1 or something, and those things are still today. You can get them used for like $1,100, $1,200. So they've held their value.
Speaker 1:The EOS 3, a lot of people say is their favorite camera ever, just because it's technically not supposed to be as good as the one, but it came out after it. So it's one of those things where, like it's not supposed to be the more premium one, but because it's newer, it kind of has better features and it's a little bit smaller and blah, blah, blah. But those things go for $400. So the Yon 7s go for usually around $250.
Speaker 1:But I found one in Mississippi on Facebook Marketplace that the lady was asking $80 and it looks pretty dirty and she said it works fine. But I put it in storage and it got dusty. So it's going to need a deep cleaning and I'm like I can clean, Especially since it's been capped up the whole time. So it's really just kind of the outside of the body is dusty and it's just like somebody who just like doesn't want to take the time to find a good seller and she's a millenower or so whatever, but she shipped it out. She's going to ship it out in the morning, I mean I think maybe next week on the podcast I'll be like hey guess who got fired. He's just fucking screwed and is now fighting with cash app to try and get reimbursed.
Speaker 1:But no. So this one. What I liked about it is like it felt like a pro camera, but it also was a little bit smaller, tighter package than the more expensive ones. And fuck man, 80 bucks Like it's not, it's a pretty good deal. And so, yeah, I'm going to be able to shoot on film, yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean my riddle me this Modern lenses. Well, riddle you People don't say riddle me this, enough. I'm trying to bring that back.
Speaker 1:I think they say it too much. I think once is enough.
Speaker 2:Riddle me this. So all the film cameras I want are like at least $2,000 or more. Why is this one?
Speaker 1:80 bucks. Well, that's got to be. What is that? A medium format camera.
Speaker 2:Like, even some of like, the food. Oh God, what's the Fuji?
Speaker 1:I mean they have a Fuji.
Speaker 2:PN1, that's like super wide. It has this crazy widescreen format. You can look it up, people can Google it, but even that's more than $1,000.
Speaker 1:What's not 35 millimeter? Right, I think it is.
Speaker 2:I think it is, or maybe it's one Maybe it is 120. I don't know, I can't remember now. They all after a while like a lot of. So I'm not too picky. Like I like 120, I like 35 and you can pretty much blow anything up to any size you'd ever want anyway. So like I don't really care too much of whether it's 35 or whether it's 120. You know.
Speaker 1:I mean for my purposes, like I'm not really interested in blowing it up big. I like you know.
Speaker 2:I will say this I do like 35, because it's less of a hassle and you get more exposures per roll.
Speaker 1:Right, I mean yeah, yeah, I don't see the point in spending more money for bigger print because I'm not interested in blowing them up. All I'm interested in is taking reference photos to have available when I'm doing color correction, to see side by side what wood film have done so that I can try to do a better job of emulating it. And I want to build some custom lots from some film stocks that I'm interested in experimenting. It's kind of just. It's just.
Speaker 2:You're just fucking around yeah. I'm just fucking around, just being a pop in my a is how yeah, you ever notice how women are like cameras the ones, the ones with better features, are more expensive. Okay, I Don't know anything about that, because I'm the ones with a tighter package tend to be Cosmo all right, and at this. You're one of the most. You're one of the most inappropriate people I know, yet you get the most uncomfortable About. Yeah, I like it when I'm not.
Speaker 1:I like to be the one saying the dirty thing. Oh, you do, uh-huh, oh, that's weird, um. Well, get on why is Adam Bradley quitting wedding videography, I think he's just well.
Speaker 2:He's been doing it for 12 years or 13 years or like for I don't know as long as me. Basically he's an OG.
Speaker 1:What's he gonna do instead? Well, he has a, does he have?
Speaker 2:something. Yeah Well, he's had a day job for a long time, so he doesn't need the money anymore.
Speaker 1:I.
Speaker 2:Don't think he doesn't need the money. I think he realized that his work life balance was Pretty wacky because he would work full-time During the week, basically, or almost full-time, and then and then work the whole weekend like how's it editing done? Yeah well, that's the thing, editing done around a full-time job. Well, I'll tell you, he was editing at night, that's.
Speaker 2:Fucking miserable it was, but he His, so his wife takes care of it. He has like a baseball team size family, so his wife was taking care of the kids in the house and he was working. But he like I think they just realized that the work life balance was impossible, after you know however many years and which I get. And then, yeah, they talked, and I Guess this is gonna be his last year shooting weddings and I'm sure he's. He'll be thrilled to hear me talk about this publicly.
Speaker 1:And but I don't oh yeah, I mean, is this, is this really considered pod? Is this podcast really considered public?
Speaker 2:Hey, we have. We have a fan 30 listeners. We have a new fan.
Speaker 1:We have a fan Tobias.
Speaker 2:Shout out to Tobias.
Speaker 1:Yeah, shout out to Tobias. I suspect that you make these people up Because you know what.
Speaker 2:I Hmm, I could not hit that could. That message could not have come at a better time, because I was like I need to ask Justin if he wants to record. And then I, for whatever reason, I went to Instagram and I saw that we had a message and I was like oh, I was actually hoping that somebody was gonna ask us to talk about a topic, so it right which still has not happened right.
Speaker 2:So if I what, that's how you know that I'm not making it up, because if I was making it up, I would have had a fake topic and all that. You know I would have put a little more effort into making something up, so but, yeah, you know, shout out to. Well, I don't know Sebastian. You remember Sebastian? He was our one, our course, oh.
Speaker 1:Sebastian, is he listening still? Or we probably lost him? I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Sebastian, if you're out there.
Speaker 1:Also if anybody has a suggestion for a topic, because I mean we literally talk about the same fucking shit every week, so yeah, but it's all good. Hey, so you officially decided you're not gonna go to NAB. It's kind of a bother.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, we should probably just a lead with that. Um, I Just can't justify.
Speaker 1:I've been exciting to announcement to make.
Speaker 2:I'm not going on it Well it's a little more video related, I guess. Uh, I, just as of this moment, I can't justify it. Um, because what am I gonna get out of it? I haven't had a job. What am I gonna get out of it?
Speaker 1:I don't know and I'm gonna go. How about companionship With your pal companionship? Yeah, I'm going, drake.
Speaker 2:Let me ask you that I'm going and now Bradley might be going.

Speaker 2:One is what am I gonna get out of it? Financially? Nothing. I'm gonna be spending money. Thank you all for watching Number two. I Snore so goddamn loudly and I am working on a new mouth. Yeah, it's like a mouth. I have a new mouth guard, but like you, have to serve.
Speaker 1:Every time we you have to say somewhere together, you have your own room.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, you have to spend time getting used to this mouth guard. I don't think I'm gonna be ready. I don't think I'm gonna be like You're not ready to go sleeping.
Speaker 1:I'm not ready for coast.
Speaker 2:I would. There's no way. I'll be ready by April 15th or whatever.
Speaker 1:How does your wife put up with this?
Speaker 2:Well, I use the mouth guard and it works for like a couple hours, but then I end up spitting it out. We do turn this sound machine up pretty loud, but I don't think snoring your whole life, or what? I probably not I.
Speaker 1:Don't.
Speaker 2:I don't know. It's not because I only I grew up with my mom and I never slept with my mom. Did you sleep with your mom growing up?
Speaker 1:No, I slept in your bed or there it is. That's what I was oh did you ever walk in on your mom naked? No, did you?
Speaker 2:Well it sounds like you did the way you started that sentence with a sigh.
Speaker 1:Oh, it was the fucking worst day of my life. I Probably should have killed myself right then and there.
Speaker 2:Oh man.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the way it came out to like I just she was taking a bath in our bathroom. Like we had a bathroom in the front of the house that all the kids use. She had her own bathroom in her room in the back of the house. Oh, she never used that bathroom and one day I just went to go pee and there's my mom in the tub. So, right off the bat, worst thing that's ever happened to me.
Speaker 2:I wish I had died now, that must have been a long time ago, right?
Speaker 1:Oh, dude, I was probably like in fourth grade, or something Okay.
Speaker 2:So I would like to know what was she doing, because now, yeah, but now, if you walked in on a woman taking a bath, she'd be staring at her cell phone. What so? What was she doing? What was happening back when you were in fourth?
Speaker 1:grade. Look man, I saw for like a half a second. I slammed the door closed, okay, yeah. But here's the part that was fucking eat. That made the trauma even work. Yes, traumatic, fucking, worst thing I've ever seen in my whole life, mm-hmm. But then, so, like you know, I fucking run out and go hide in my room, like you know, waiting to die, and I don't know if she's gonna come yelling me later, like for not knocking on the door or like what, or she's gonna come talk to me. I mean like hey, I'm sorry that you are now blind and we'll never see again, or anything like that. But she just like no, it never came up. And then we were going to Pick up dinner. Edit, like a fast food place. I've got the whole fucking family in the minivan. There's four of us, right on the second of four, mm-hmm, plus my step-as, there's six people and the fuck, you know, the whole family is in the van and we start to like we went to I don't know fucking jack in the box, or oh Jesus.
Speaker 1:Something and we're like sitting there waiting to order and you know they're like, hey, what do you want? I was like, oh, cheeseburger, oh blah, blah, whatever. And then, like, right in front of my siblings and everything, my mom goes and, by the way, dustin, you're too old to be seeing your mother neck, you need to knock on the door when you walk into a bathroom.
Speaker 1:Like right in front of everything like in front of my siblings like you held on this for hours Just to bring it like, to make my trauma like family was now.
Speaker 2:Oh wait, a minute, I know, let me ask you this it was fucking awful. I'm sure it was, but wasn't she under the water? Wasn't everything a little blurry?
Speaker 1:They don't make me try to Remember what it looked like, what what's up?
Speaker 2:I'm not trying to make you remember anything that wasn't the principle of the look I'm not instilling new memories. What are?
Speaker 1:you trying to find out? What are you trying to find?
Speaker 2:out. I guess I'm saying it wasn't that bad if she was under the water. Did she use bubbles?
Speaker 1:Dude, was it a bubble bath having this fucking conversation?
Speaker 2:Was it a bubble bath?
Speaker 1:I don't know. There was probably, but there was probably bug bubbles. I don't know, I'm not, I don't know from bubbles. Okay, so talk to me. I told you earlier we were poor, so there probably wasn't bubbles.
Speaker 2:Well, that would make more sense as to why you're so upset about it.
Speaker 1:You know I have why would you think we had money for bubbles after I told you we're only allowed to drink water?
Speaker 2:I Don't know. Sometimes women hide things of value from the family Bubbles. She's got a secret bubble stash.
Speaker 1:I mean, the reason she was in there was because the bathroom in in her room only is a standing shower, so it was because she wanted to take a bath. Yeah, but it's also just like was she doing anything? Fucking locked dude, when you go to somebody's house and you go to the bathroom and the bathroom doesn't have a lock on the door, aren't you just like Fucking mortified? You know it's funny. How the fuck do you people live like our?
Speaker 2:our, like our guest bathroom, which is like basically in the living room.
Speaker 1:It the door locks but then if you turn, then the handle on the outside it'll it unlocks and there no yeah, like if you just barely touch the handle, it Unlocks but nobody knows that none of the guests know that, so I just keep letting them think that they're fine my, my in-laws, the, the bathroom that's like in the middle of the house, that's like the you know the bathroom. That's not the master bathroom. It doesn't have a lock on the door and I like it makes me so fucking uncomfortable thinking about taking a shit at my mother-in-law's house, which are like you know, sometimes we go there, we're stuck there for like seven or ten days. You're gonna Duke, it's not like you, just wait till you get home.
Speaker 1:Sometimes I, uh, I Think about just buying a new doorknob with a lock on it and bringing it and installing it and not even saying anything and Then waiting for them to bring it up and just being like what the fuck did you think I was gonna do? The way you people live is Fucking insane. Like just really flip out on him. It's probably not like the best, the most appropriate way to handle it.
Speaker 1:Yeah but the way they like they're, they don't talk about stuff in their family. They prioritize politeness over everything else. So the point that nobody ever knows what anybody's thinking in that family, like they never say what is on their mind, ah, that's gotta be so nice. There's a lot of no, it's not, because there's a lot of miscommunication and a lot of sitcom-y type of misunderstandings. Oh, that is nice. They all just come from nobody being able to fucking just say what they're thinking.
Speaker 2:It's not nice, I don't know it makes for a lot of awkward.
Speaker 1:But it would be interesting if I went in their house and changed their door lock and I'll bet you no one would ever mention it. I bet you would never come up, Cause they would like they would you know. They would obviously know that it was me. They would obviously know that I did it because I wanna shit without just fucking the debilitating fear that someone's gonna walk in the room. And then they would be like, well, I'm not bringing it up, I don't wanna talk to them about shitting. So then it would just be like this unspoken thing. I don't know, I might do that at your house, oh God.
Speaker 2:Well, you live so far away that I don't think it'll ever happen.
Speaker 1:Hey, so like what is your deal with skiing and snowboarding? You don't know how, or you just don't like it, or you just don't feel like it's worth the time and money.
Speaker 2:I like it. I haven't done it, so you know how to do it. You're capable. I haven't done it since I was 17, but I liked it when I did it.
Speaker 1:Oh, you can't do it then. You're fucking 40 years old dude. You don't even know. No, I'm 38. What did you do? Board or ski, ski? Oh, there's no fucking way. You can ski. There's no fucking way. If you had said board, then I'd be like, yeah, you could probably figure it out like another hour.
Speaker 2:Dude skiing.
Speaker 1:There's no fucking way you could still ski.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I remember it. I mean I don't feel like I'm not saying I'd be really good at it, but I think I could spend a couple of days on the bunny hill and be like and be fine again.
Speaker 1:But I'm not. I have no interest in going down blacks or anything like that I need you to go.
Speaker 2:I have no interest in going down blacks or anything like that. I'll do blues, greens and bunny and that's about it you gotta do blues.
Speaker 1:Well, first of all you have to be able to do a black in case you accidentally take a wrong turn.
Speaker 2:I did a black at Montark when I I mean, here's the thing I didn't ski that much ever Like I went like three or four times max and I did a black at Montark. Now, montark is pretty easy overall, is it? Yeah, it's fairly easy. So a black at Montark is probably not like a black at Telluride or something. You know what I mean, but it's, yeah, I, you know, I bet I could do a green run within a day. Give me a day to like.
Speaker 1:Well, so like if I was going out there to only go for one day, then it's not worth you going Cause, yeah, but I live here, so if you tell me that you're gonna come out.
Speaker 2:It's not like I couldn't go a couple of weeks in advance for two weeks, or something.
Speaker 1:But would you or would you be like no, of course not, of course not. You can't really justify the cost, of course not.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to NAB. Why would I go skiing, go to NAB, maybe I will.
Speaker 1:Well, I think I'm gonna go snowboarding April 25th or 26th. How about this? So if you could get your chops up by then, it would be kind of. I mean, dude, I lived there for fucking 10 years. We never once hit the slopes together.
Speaker 2:Shit the slopes together. Yeah, there's a lot of things we didn't hit together Doesn't mean we should. We never even killed the drift. Yeah, we never even committed the ultimate game.
Speaker 1:We never played the ultimate game. You know, if we were gonna do that, we should have done it when we were in San Francisco and there was fucking hobos everywhere you looked they were. They were so many. All you would have had to do is tip one over and they'd be dead.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I mean they were already.
Speaker 1:You can probably the way they were fucking strung out on heroin and shit.
Speaker 2:That was wild. You could probably just walk up and Remember. Well, I don't know what you saw, because we were. I was driving. I saw people pooping oh you did.
Speaker 1:Oh wow. Oh yeah, you were driving. I was watching people taking a dump on the concrete.
Speaker 2:I was like lights, because I was like in awe of what was happening.
Speaker 1:but Everything they say about the homeless crisis in San Francisco it's real. It's not blown out of proportion.
Speaker 2:Well, the best part of that, whatever you hear about it on podcasts and the news.
Speaker 1:They're not exaggerating.
Speaker 2:I told my wife when we got back. I was like the funniest thing was like Dustin's, like where's all the drug use that people are talking about? And then literally two blocks later, I was.
Speaker 1:We were like oh, there it is.
Speaker 2:It's the same.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're right, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I did say that about two miles too soon Cause even I was like oh, this seems fine. I was like, oh, is Joe Rogan's lying.
Speaker 2:And then all of a sudden, everyone was lying and I was like oh my God.
Speaker 1:Stumbling around.
Speaker 2:That was. It was wild dude.
Speaker 1:I've never seen people so strong on real killer. If you really wanted to be a serial killer, has there ever been an easier place to just-? But that's the problem Go find lives that no one will miss.
Speaker 2:That's the problem, cause then you're not playing the ultimate game.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're saying it's better to kill a white woman that's jogging and has a mother of two.
Speaker 2:That's like playing a seven year old at checkers Right. That's like what's the fun in that? You know you're going to win.
Speaker 1:The ultimate game is to kill a beloved member of the community.
Speaker 2:And with that we'll see everybody next week. All right, later, all right, love you. Wait, what, what, what? Boop, boop, boop.
