SPEAKER_03:

And we go from the top. We got it right this time. I don't know if anybody saw that little bit of a blip, blip, blip, a little blooper. So if rising's heaven issues, Skip Happen right there. So I'm just saying, welcome to Skip Happens, everybody. My name is Skip Clark from Skip Happens. And of course, uh my co-host, you know, Mr. A sitting right over here on my left, your right. And uh, you know, today we're taking a break from the usual country artist interviews. You see me come on a lot with those. Uh, for example, last night I had one on. If you haven't seen it, listen to it. I would highly recommend that you do. But tonight, like I say, we break away from that just a little bit. It's real stuff, real stories, the things that happen when the mic's off and the music fades, no spotlight, no promo, just honest conversation. Because sometimes the most important moments happen between the songs. And it was a very important moment for me today. Um, I don't know when if you're watching this, you know, if you're watching it live, then you know the deal with Verizon. But if you're not, maybe down the road. Well, yeah, it was not a good day because when I realized my phone was now or look at the smile on her face.

SPEAKER_01:

When I realized Skip was a wreck. Let me tell you, Skip was going through withdrawals afterwards.

SPEAKER_03:

Well, I thought my phone was messed up. I'm going to skip happened to my phone. I did. I tried to take out the sim card because I went on chat GBT, Miss Ray.

SPEAKER_01:

His best friend, Chat GBT.

SPEAKER_03:

Not yours, but mine.

SPEAKER_01:

Definitely. That was fun.

SPEAKER_03:

No, I know, but I went on. I said, okay, what do I do in this situation? I don't have any bars. I have internet, but I'm not able to make a call. And of course, as you know, my day depends a lot on phone calls, too. My phone is pretty busy because I deal a lot with Nashville and all and all that. But uh yeah, and Miss Becky up front said, Oh, he's not gonna be good for the rest of the afternoon. I know she said that to you. I know for a fact.

SPEAKER_01:

She did prepare me. She was like, He's not well, so's not working, he might need some space. You know what? Yeah, I I saw firsthand this devastation. Um, we had hometown happenings today, and I went in to see Skip, and I was like, Hey Skip, do you do you have time to do hometown hometown happenings? He's like, Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Get your ass in here and say, Let's just do it.

SPEAKER_01:

We're gonna get it done. He just he seems so upset, just so tired.

SPEAKER_03:

The beads of sweat coming off my foreheads going.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah. And then of course working on it, right?

SPEAKER_03:

As far as I know, they are. Um, it's kind of crazy. Think about that with everything that's going on in the world. Now, you know, we have you know, we have Ryzen, we have ATT, we got T-Mobile, we have all those different, you know, big companies, and they're you know, I guess one can be as good as the other. I'm not gonna, you know, go after anyone in particular, and stuff can happen, but when you think about everything that's going on in the world, um, it kind of makes you think a little bit because you think they would have it fixed by now, and they do not have it fixed as of yet. So that kind of bothers me a little bit.

SPEAKER_01:

So which is totally understandable. I mean, your phone is is a means of communication among your friends, family. It's finding information.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh man, it's it's it's a lot of things. I'm in a hurting state of mind. I am my phone doesn't work, it's not good. Not good, not good, you know. And and I don't know about you, um, because well, you're a lot younger, and I'm sure you depend on your phone a lot. And of course, I depend on my phone a lot for you know everything we do at work, but um in life in general.

SPEAKER_01:

But when you don't have it, it's like, oh my god, you don't realize how much how important your phone is, yeah, or anything like that.

SPEAKER_03:

If you don't have whatever it is, you kind of go.

SPEAKER_01:

I think it's simply you just take it for granted, you know. Yeah, that's it. That's what it's so accessible, it's it's right there, right at your fingertips. It's there's so many things that you can do on your phone. So when that's not there, it seems like the world's at a standstill, you know.

SPEAKER_03:

It's well, my world is at a standstill. I said I gotta go on the air in 20 minutes and I still don't have my phone working. And uh, I know you girls up front were like, Oh, this is not good today.

SPEAKER_02:

It's not good, but uh yes, yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Hey, we're gonna have some fun this uh tonight. I almost said this afternoon because I'm all messed up. But uh a little bit later on, I mean if you hang on and you watch out watch Skip Happens, Miss Ray and myself, I have this. See this, these are the newer yeah, I love it. Sing it again.

SPEAKER_00:

One more, one more time.

SPEAKER_03:

Here it is.

SPEAKER_00:

Muck.

SPEAKER_01:

That was good.

SPEAKER_03:

I will give one of these away to somebody tonight. I'll ask a question. If you know what it is, you put the answer in the chat. Um, if we even if we get more than one correct, we'll just go eeny meeny money mo. We'll give it to somebody, or who knows? Maybe I'll do a couple.

SPEAKER_01:

So yes, or three. Yeah, one to three. We're feeling generous, you know. It's been a rough day. We need something to really rough to pick us up, you know, something to put a smile on our face.

SPEAKER_03:

It's crazy. So, how you been? Otherwise, I mean, besides dealing with me, um, you know, all day at the radio station at the Wolf uh here in Syracuse. So I don't know where you're watching this from, but uh that's where we are.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, you know, I've been all right. I'm gonna be honest. This I feel like this year's just been so crazy, and I've been really, really busy. And this past week, I feel like I had a moment where everything kind of froze, and I was like, holy crap, right?

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, what do you mean everything kind of froze?

SPEAKER_01:

I think I'm somebody where I'm just my brain's constantly moving, I'm constantly going, I'm constantly thinking of all these things. And I just had a moment where I was like, you know, I'm I don't know. I think it was I just had this overwhelming like self-doubt in a way. It was more like, oh my gosh, like you kind of like look at everything in a different perspective, not in like a bad way, but it's almost like you know how yeah, not like a big moment, but it was like it was just one of those, yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

It was a moment, yeah, a little bit bigger than my Verizon moment, but it was a moment, right?

SPEAKER_01:

So, but that's all right. We you know comes and goes, you know, we get through it, but yeah, so I love it. It's been good.

SPEAKER_03:

Um otherwise, otherwise, yes, it's the otherwise, yes, it's the otherwise. Oh man, do you like hot dogs?

SPEAKER_01:

No, you don't think not a fan.

SPEAKER_03:

No, I was reading somewhere that um, you know, we're all thinking about better weather, the ballpark, the summer, the the picnics. I know we're in the middle of winter right now. You only have what, um, I want to say a little over 60 days, it'll be the first day of spring. That's on March 20th, by the way.

SPEAKER_02:

Can't believe that means more sun. More sun.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, so a hot dog is eaten close to 818 times per second during the summer season in the United States. So if you don't like hot dogs, and I guess I shouldn't even be talking to you about this because I do. I do. I put uh ketchup, relish, mustard, and it's easy to eat two or three hot dogs. Easy. Not that they're always good for you, but it's a great summertime food.

SPEAKER_01:

It is, it's a good snack.

SPEAKER_03:

It is absolutely what else you got there, girl.

SPEAKER_01:

What's one of your favorite foods to eat in the winter?

SPEAKER_03:

Oh in the winter, chili. Does chili count as food?

SPEAKER_01:

It does.

SPEAKER_03:

It does because you get the beans, the meat, depending on how you make it, right? I mean, you have sausage or you have hamburger. Um, yeah. Only on the grill. Oh, Grace. Grace is watching.

SPEAKER_01:

Grace, yeah. Good girl, Grace.

SPEAKER_03:

We gotta get her in on the podcast.

SPEAKER_01:

Definitely do, definitely. We'll have to do that.

SPEAKER_03:

She's doing her own thing too, by the way.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. She is.

SPEAKER_03:

We'll talk about that some other time. But yeah, good stuff.

SPEAKER_01:

Um, so have you been eating chili? I mean, how's your how's your week been? Do you have you eaten chili this week with it being so rough? But that is a Wednesday.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh man, today, what did I have for lunch today? Um, what did I have for lunch today? Oh, I had a meatball sub. Meatball sub. I went, I had to go to the doctor's this morning. I had my uh dermatology, which you know, they tell you to take everything off but your underwear, and then the robe has to be open in the back. So, all funny stories.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03:

So funny story. So I don't know. I mean, we all have to do it, it's all a part of life. Where uh I go to the uh dermatologist in Fayetteville, New York, and uh I go in, and of course, you know, they come in and they ask you a lot of questions about whatever medicines you take just to keep the records up to date and all that good stuff. And um, so the nurse or whoever it was says, okay, here's the robe. Make sure you know take everything off but your underpants. And uh you even call them underpants anymore. I don't know. Yeah. All right, all right, okay. I call them boxer briefs, but anyways, um, and leave it open in the back. So then it was like two minutes after that. You know, whoever's gonna do the exam comes in, and of course they take that thing. It was for you know, for your skin, just checking you out. Just do you mind if I look at your butt?

SPEAKER_00:

And you're like, What'd you say? I went, sure, be my guest. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_03:

I was like in the back of the robe, kind of just checking out the butt cheeks with her little thing there to make sure there was nothing going on. But uh, yeah, it was happening. That was happening.

SPEAKER_01:

Do you always mess around with people when you go to doctors? And you know, I think that that's I don't know. I kind of love that because some people might be like, mm-mm, and other people might be like, that is hilarious, you know what I mean? Because people are so serious, and I think that's why, like the other day I really like got down in the jumps because I'm like, I'm being too freaking serious, and right there is a moment where you're like, Well, you know what? Just just relax, just just laugh, just just look at everything and just take a moment and be like, let's be silly. I don't know, I don't know. Because I think that's hilarious. Like, if I was a nurse and somebody was like, Yeah, be my guest, like, and then pull the crack out, like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, like well, um, I don't know if I should tell this or not, but many years ago, before my doctor retired, and I loved him, Dr.

SPEAKER_03:

uh, I don't know, from the area, his name's Dr. Tolonas, but uh he is now retired, one of the best. I mean, this guy I'd known him for so many years and just kind of, you know, he knew me since like almost day one. And you get that relationship with the doctor, he knew what I did for a living, he knew I worked in broadcasting, he knew I was doing the radio thing. And uh, I used to do a show called the 70s Saturday Night, and he'd listen every week. Well, I went in for a physical one day, and back then they did physicals a little bit different than they do nowadays, like they go up certain places where you don't want them to go, but uh, so he's doing what he's got to do, right? All of a sudden he starts laughing. I go, he goes, wait till I tell my son I was looking up Skip Clark's oh my goodness, but I don't think he ever did. He thought it was funny though. Then yeah, who'd ever think I was looking up Skip Clark's ass? I'm just saying, sorry. Sorry, mom, sorry, Keller Kelly, Frank, sorry, but that's kind of that's hilarious.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, you know, because of you being a DJ, right? Yeah, he knew what I did.

SPEAKER_03:

He listened to me on the radio, the station I was on at the time. I did that show called Someday Saturday Night. Um, we used to do it live from the waterfront, but that's a whole nother story. But um, yeah, it was so it's just and you know me, I'm weird. Uh I'm weird in a good way. I I like to have fun. Yeah, I like to make fun of everything, but in a in a good way. Maybe sometimes it doesn't come out that way.

SPEAKER_01:

But it can be a fatal flaw sometimes, I will say.

SPEAKER_03:

It's that's it, fatal flaw.

SPEAKER_01:

It's one of those things where you you shouldn't always treat things seriously. You know what I mean? Like I think that it's it's just well, there's a time and place. Correct. Right for that. There's a time and place, which is all day.

SPEAKER_03:

I try. I try. You know what, you know what really makes me happy is to see people smile and to see people laugh. And if I can do that, that's you know, then I've done my job as a human being. That's that's the way I am. Yeah, you know, I I'm a little bit, I mean, I don't I don't get into a lot of the politics and for obvious reasons, but I am a little bit disturbed, what's going on in the world. I think that's what's really bothering me, not only me, but I think almost any, I don't care who you are, you've got to be bothered one way or another, whether you agree, disagree, whatever, it's gotta be going through your mind. So so I I think that's all the more reason to make somebody smile. Yeah, say, you know, let's all just get along. Let's do what we got to do. Let's make each other laugh.

SPEAKER_01:

I totally agree. Yeah, I definitely agree. And I think that it's it's very vital right now because you don't really see that compassion as much. Not even just politically, but I see that among just humans, like society. Like there's just this.

SPEAKER_03:

Sorry.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_03:

So Grace, uh, one time I asked a colorectal doctor to sign something. He pulled a pulled a thermometer out of his pocket and goes, some asshole has my all right. We gotta get rid of that. All right, it's gotta go. Okay, never mind. Enough about the doctor talk. But no, you're right. Otherwise, you know, I mean, see things like that we laugh at.

SPEAKER_01:

Right.

SPEAKER_03:

It's life, it's human. Skip happens, yeah. So, yeah, I mean, it that's the way it is. That's the way it is, but uh yeah, all that. What else you got there? I see that you know you can say I do too, but I like what you have.

SPEAKER_01:

I have some current events stuff going on, which I think is relevant to us talking about stuff that's going on, but I have I have some good news.

SPEAKER_03:

Grace said sorry, but that's no worries, Grace.

SPEAKER_01:

No worries, Grace. Grace, we love you. It's all good, it's human. Um, yeah, so I have some good news. So the Golden Globes was the other day. Yeah, and you and I talked about this, and this is really exciting news for us. Um, Amy Poehler won a uh a Golden Globe for best podcast. That's new, that is new. I love that, and I think that that's so cool because we're on a podcast, exactly.

SPEAKER_03:

And do you realize we're just we're a drop in the bucket?

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, but one puzzle piece of the whole grand scheme of things.

SPEAKER_03:

But you know, everybody's got a different style, a different way, different way of interviewing. It just everything's you know, make it your own and do your own thing, and hopefully it'll become something. And that's you know, I've been doing this for a little bit, and now you're on board, which is I couldn't ask for anything better. It was a blessing. Um, you know, I love doing the interviews and stuff, but when we get to sit down like this and just have a conversation and invite our viewers in to be a part of it, I mean that it's pretty awesome. Pretty awesome.

SPEAKER_01:

It is awesome.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, pretty darn awesome. You dream.

SPEAKER_01:

I don't dream.

SPEAKER_03:

You lie. What do you mean you don't dream?

SPEAKER_01:

I don't dream. I go to sleep and I would just wake up in the morning. And it's another day, and it's another day. Do you dream?

SPEAKER_03:

I do I dream, but sometimes I wonder what they mean.

SPEAKER_01:

I d I'm a daydreamer. I don't need to sleep to dream. I'm a daydreamer, you know what I mean? I just walk around and I got dreams. Okay, that's how yeah, yeah, good dreams.

SPEAKER_03:

Do you know? Uh, we experience over 1400 dreams a year as a human. So maybe you just don't know you're dreaming.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Maybe I don't know. Well, someday when you have a sleep test, all those things on your head, they know when you're have you ever did you know that there's apps that can like monitor how you sleep and your watch can.

SPEAKER_03:

Where is it?

SPEAKER_01:

Do you does your watch track how you sleep?

SPEAKER_03:

And if I keep it on, absolutely.

SPEAKER_01:

That's really cool.

SPEAKER_03:

I get up in the morning, look at my watch, and goes, Well, that sucked. I didn't sleep much. So Yes.

SPEAKER_01:

You know, what's your what's your favorite kind of music to listen to before you go to sleep?

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, you know what? Um, put the waves crashing on the beach. Does it want to set the scene single? Well, I don't know what scene there is to set. The waves and the but the noise of the of the the water pounding on the beach and you can hear the waves. Oh, yeah. You think I'm kidding? No, well, I you probably probably will never know, but I'm just saying that if you were a fly on the wall in my bedroom, it would be waves.

SPEAKER_00:

It would be waves.

SPEAKER_03:

It would be waves. What about you? I because we have such a different thing when it comes to music.

SPEAKER_01:

Um, I'm probably gonna listen to something defin uh slower, more more sweeter.

SPEAKER_03:

Something chill.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, something very chill, something low-key, something slow. Yes. Maybe like crickets. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

You know, that would actually put me to sleep. That would if I was laying out in the sun.

SPEAKER_01:

Do you need a noise to go to sleep, like a fan or or the TV to be playing to go to sleep?

SPEAKER_03:

Not really. Even when it's silent, even when it's like dead silent, I still hear something. Does that make sense? It's like there's some noise out there, and uh you probably This is in her monologue. This is in her monologue speaking. Well, no, no, you probably don't remember this, but um when uh back in the day when the towers were hitting New York, and then then all the flights were grounded, everything was down for a while. It was such a weird feeling to not hear any aircraft, nothing, because every day there's all this noise around us, and all that noise at that time was gone, and it's like wow almost like right now. The silence, the silence and the crickets, yes, the silence, but yeah, no, no, no, I know, yeah, I know. I gotta, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

But yeah, see, I'm someone I just I do better when there's there's a noise, there's there's music in the background. I don't know. I always have something playing.

SPEAKER_03:

So when you go to bed, you have a little music.

SPEAKER_01:

There's uh no, I mean the fans going, I'll watch TV sometimes, but the the fans on all year round. I'm not one of those people that gets rid of it in the winter.

SPEAKER_03:

Is your TV on a timer? Um so when you fall asleep, does it shut off, or do you end up waking up like in the middle of the night going, holy crap, the TV's still on and click?

SPEAKER_01:

I think it depends on the service. I know like Netflix, it'll only watch like three episodes and then it will shut it off. And that, but like Hulu, if you don't have that, if you have like um autoplay on, that will just continue to play all night. So I've watched shows on Hulu that I've seen like three episodes of, and somehow I'm on like season three, and I'm like, well, that's all from my that's whole nights of sleep. Like I didn't watch any of that. Hulu just didn't act out of that.

SPEAKER_03:

No, you're right, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Some of them will, but which I think is kind of frustrating because I wish that they they all would would have that restriction where you can't it automatically plays.

SPEAKER_03:

Like well, you might be there, might be a setting.

SPEAKER_01:

There might that's true.

SPEAKER_03:

I mean the autoplay, yeah, it may be a setting, but a lot of the new TVs will also, if you've been watching it for a while, not that I sit on the couch and watch TV all weekend, but um, if you've been watching the television for a while, something will come on the screen and go, Are you still watching? You know, just click okay and it because the TV wants to shut down if nobody's done anything to it in a period of time, if you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_01:

Right.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Speaking of television, do you know what's in less than a month? What's on February 8th?

SPEAKER_03:

Uh is it the um the the Grammys?

SPEAKER_01:

No.

SPEAKER_03:

What am I thinking of?

SPEAKER_01:

This has to do with TV. I'll give you a hint. Oh, but hopefully somebody in the comments knows February 8th. It's a sporting event. Has to do with TV.

SPEAKER_03:

Are you talking about the big game?

SPEAKER_01:

I'm talking about the big game. All right.

SPEAKER_03:

We have to call it the big game. Well, I think at a podcast we can call it a Super Bowl.

SPEAKER_01:

Yes. The Super Bowl is on February 8th.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

And Bad Buddy is set to play.

SPEAKER_03:

What do you think about that?

SPEAKER_01:

Um, because I saw I'm gonna be. I um okay, go ahead. I listen to Spanish music sometimes. It's fun, it's very fun. I think that there's something really, you know how sometimes you listen to like Andre Bonacelli or Celine Dion, and you're like, I know that they're speaking Italian or whatever they're speaking, and I can't understand a single thing that they're saying, but it's just so beautiful to me. Like, I sometimes hear Spanish that way. Like, I just think it's it's so romantic in in a way. So Bad Bunny is really, really cool and interesting because his music is is fast paced. He has some songs that are right up my alley in Spanish, but then he's got his new album, which is not like that at all. It's very emotional, very it's a little bit slower paced, which I think is interesting. And the my favorite thing about the music that he created in this new album is that when I listened to it, I could feel what he was saying, even though I didn't know what he was saying, if that makes sense. And I think that's why I I love music, is because you don't always have to understand what the person is saying, but as long as you can feel that and understand human to human, like this person's feeling this way, and this is how they're conveying it. I think that that's one of the most magical things to connect and bond over.

SPEAKER_02:

True.

SPEAKER_01:

So I get it, and especially in this time, um, I think it's very interesting and to have a a Latin singer at the Super Bowl.

SPEAKER_03:

So you're gonna be watching it.

SPEAKER_01:

Of course I am. I also am a I love a Super Bowl performance, like Kendrick Lamar, I was glued at the TV, Rihanna glued at the TV, Shakira glued at the TV. Like I I don't miss a Super Bowl performance.

SPEAKER_03:

That brings a lot of uh new fans to football, I think, when they do something like that.

SPEAKER_01:

I I agree, I think that's a good thing.

SPEAKER_03:

You know, I mean people tune in for the halftime show because whoever you know is going to uh be performing, but now maybe those people haven't really watched football. Now they're stuck watching football and they kind of go, Yeah, that's pretty cool, you know. And uh I love watching the Super Bowl, I love watching the halftime show too. We all look forward to that, yeah. You know, and we have to set up the food right in front of the television because you don't want to walk away.

SPEAKER_01:

You don't want to miss nothing, you don't want to miss anything. Yeah, yeah, I totally get that, yeah. And the cool thing this year is that um I saw that Tucker Wetmore is going to be performing at Guy Fierry's Super Bowl party.

SPEAKER_03:

Love that idea.

SPEAKER_01:

Um so we have some celebs that have some artists coming out performing. And Skip and I were talking about this the other day, which I thought was very, very interesting. Um, EA Sports, have you ever heard of that? So it's electronic arts, it's like digital sports.

SPEAKER_02:

Yep.

SPEAKER_01:

So Madden football is going to be having a Super Bowl on February 6th. So that's the Friday before Super Bowl Sunday. And they're going to have Teddy Swims, Luke Combs, our boy Steven Wilson Jr., you know we love him.

SPEAKER_02:

Yep.

SPEAKER_01:

Um, they're gonna have a rapper LaRussell all have a performance at this game. And I just think that's I don't know. I'm just blown away. It's like an animated game. Yes.

unknown:

I love that.

SPEAKER_03:

So I'm assuming that I don't know if it will be um but see they're catering digitally, like you know, demo now. They're catering to that.

SPEAKER_01:

I mean and to different audiences because video games attract a very, very large audience. One that I think that we we don't really think of often, but there is a very large audience of video gamers, and I think that these uh these AEA sports are so cool in the fact that they're taking advantage of of performances like that and other avenues of how like like the Super Bowl, let's be honest, would it be the Super Bowl without the halftime show?

SPEAKER_03:

Yes, yes, super bowl, it would be.

SPEAKER_01:

But do you think that there's just a factor that makes it this grand well?

SPEAKER_03:

I think it adds to it. Do I think it'll always be a Super Bowl, even if we didn't have that uh halftime activity? The halftime show, of course, because you got the two of the best teams in football going head to head, that's why it's called a Super Bowl, right? All right, the halftime show kind of gives it some flavor and kind of adds to it a little bit.

SPEAKER_01:

So yeah, I just think it's so cool that other mediums like video games, um, celebrities are using those same things that the Super Bowl are using to kind of amp that up. Live concerts, yeah, live and live.

SPEAKER_03:

If I'm not mistaken, I d I don't know. Does the artist get paid to perform at the halftime, or is that uh I gotta look that up. I I I thought at one time that uh maybe they do. I don't know. And everybody thought it was gonna be Taylor Swift. I remember that whole thing, and then they announced Bad Bunny. So, you know, that uh that kind of you know got a little people, uh, you know, feathers all ruffled a little bit. But uh it is what it is, and I don't mind at all. I don't mind. Just hey, what are you gonna do? You know, and the thing is, if you don't like it, those are the people you're gonna hear from because the people that love it will be just like that was the greatest thing going, and they just go about their business. So people that don't like it, they jump on their keyboard and they lost, you know, the post on Facebook. It was the worst, it was terrible, it was you know, this was I didn't understand a word he was saying. I don't know, he's not American, he's not, you know what I'm saying? That's what you get. It's like, come on, dude, or whatever. Just kind of you know, be real, have an open mind. Hey, why not? Why not? Somebody knows what they're doing, it's all good, it's all good.

SPEAKER_01:

Something a little different. So were you looking that up? I did look it up, and I think that you're gonna find this very interesting. So artists do not get paid um for their halftime performance, their incentive is all of their um production costs, travel fees, stuff along those lines are covered, but everything else, um oh, so they get the exposure to one of the biggest events there is. Correct.

SPEAKER_03:

They get that exposure.

SPEAKER_01:

I feel like there has to be like, you know how they they win awards, like literal materialistic awards. I feel like the Super Bowl in a way is another award. It's just not as it's not a literal award. Like, there's like I made it to the Super Bowl, like I performed at the Super Bowl. Like that's how you know you're one of the greats, right?

SPEAKER_03:

Exactly. Exactly. No, I know it's like, yay, saw you at the Super Bowl. I get that. And for Tucker, Wetmore, and others to be doing that other event with EA. That is that is so freaking cool. And and we're talking about that. Uh, I think it was a few weeks ago. I went upstairs, and Zach, my son, was watching football, but it wasn't a well, the real game was on the big screen in the family room, but he was watching on another television and it was all animated, but yet it was the same teams, and they were kind of mimic mimicking all just everything that was going on with the real game. I thought that was interesting.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, that's that's I think right what we're talking about. Yeah, I think it goes, it's yeah, they're appealing to a different demo by doing that, which is the way it is now, and in a way, when you the coolest part about video games is that they they literally have direct engagement, you know what I mean? Like you're having your players literally engage with the performance, the game, um, content, which isn't always accessible when you go to live events per se. Like you're not having fans, you know, having input and things at a live event, but in a video game, like you're having a whole I'm sure that there's a chat box that every single person they can contribute, they can all can contribute, they can all text. But if you're at a at a live event, you can't do that. You no you got one microphone, you got one person, and and that's that end of story.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I know basically that's it. That's it. Bam, that's all. That's all. I don't know. I look forward to that though. Who do you think? Are you so are you following any teams? Are you like I know we hear about the bills every day?

SPEAKER_01:

We do hear about the bills.

SPEAKER_03:

And the big guy Steelers, uh, Mr. Furco's Steelers, they're out of it. So that's why he's been miserable for like the first half of this week. Um that would be but we're hoping for the I guess the Bills, right? Because we're in upstate New York. Yes.

SPEAKER_01:

So of course we cheer the bills on. I'm not, I won't lie, I'm not a big um football person, but I it's funny. I like to definitely. And if I'm watching, I somehow just I get into it. I'm like, come on, guys, come on, let's get this going. And then you're like, okay, let's let's go. Number 12. Come on. Come on. And you're like, I can't read it, but yeah, don't know what position you are, but I like the colors, you're doing good.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, I it it's an exciting time to watch sports when you get down to these games, you know, where it's all on the line, then it gets really exciting. And it's the same thing with basketball. I mean, we're big orange fans, I get that, but still, you get into March Madness, and you it's like it gets when it gets down to the nitty-gritty, it gets really exciting. Baseball, too. And you know, we're a big baseball family, so which by the way, we're gonna have to get you to the ballpark. You're you're gonna have to go with Aunt Nancy and Nancy and your half-brother Zach. Yes, the whole fam. Yeah, the whole fam. We'll we'll definitely get you there. And we will be doing a podcast probably several times from the ballpark. I already know that, so that'd be very cool. Exactly. So, you know, we have this mug. This is like the fourth edition of the Skip Happens podcast mugs. By the way, I designed that myself. I don't know that the more I look at it, it's kind of well.

SPEAKER_01:

I like it, I think it's adorable. You know, I had I said uh do a little, do you know ASMR? Do a little ASMR for them.

SPEAKER_03:

Do what?

SPEAKER_01:

Can I borrow the card for a second? Here, guys, don't worry, I'll come, I'll do it.

SPEAKER_03:

So we're gonna do this. There you go.

SPEAKER_01:

So we have a Skip Happens exclusive mug. Do you see? Oh, with beautiful colors. Look at that. Hosted by Skip Clark. And then if you win the mug, you'll get a signature on the mug from Skip and I. Wow. He didn't know that. I was gonna say that.

SPEAKER_03:

But no, but I can't afford a Sharpie, but that's oh no, there's one in the there's one in there.

SPEAKER_01:

Don't worry, guys.

SPEAKER_03:

We have a Sharpie, but and we will, we'll we'll get that all right. Shall I give the question?

SPEAKER_01:

Yes, give the question.

SPEAKER_03:

So you got a little time to think about this. All right, so if you know the answer to this, and I'll keep an eye on the chat. Uh, by the way, Jason, uh Jason, he's Midwest, he's a programmer in radio. Um, he said that was on Nickelodeon, so that's what Zach was watching when it came to the game. Exactly. And he loved it, by the way. He loved it. All right, so here's the question: most people use one of these every day, and its basic design has not changed since 1868. What is it? You probably you probably I'm you used it today. You used it today. I should have put that in here and said I got I don't know what I got in there, but uh maybe I shouldn't play it. I don't know. No, that's not never mind. But uh yeah, so here it is again. Most people use one of these every day, and it's basic basic design has not changed since 1868. And if you know what it is, I like I said, we will sign it and we'll put it in a box and I'll mail it out to you. I don't care where you are in the United States, it's gotta be in the United States because uh I tried sending a mug to Canada once. You can do it, but you better take out a mortgage, just saying.

SPEAKER_00:

What?

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, no, it's not a toothbrush, it is not a toothbrush. All right, they've kind of changed their design since uh 1868, but uh the basic design for this has not changed since 1868.

SPEAKER_01:

So what do you guys think?

SPEAKER_03:

All right, well, something to think about there. It is yeah, mug one more time.

SPEAKER_01:

There you go.

SPEAKER_03:

I know she's doing that very, very well. That was excellent.

SPEAKER_01:

I'm like the the lady from Wheel um Is it Wheel of Fortune? I was just gonna say, is it Wheel of Fortune?

SPEAKER_03:

My mom used to watch it.

SPEAKER_01:

I think it's Wheel of Fortune.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, Vanna White, yes, it's got nubby knees.

SPEAKER_01:

I was gonna say Vona White, but I was like, that's why I was like, don't even say the name, just say like oh, wait a minute, wait a minute.

SPEAKER_03:

We do have a winner.

SPEAKER_01:

Winner, winner, winner.

SPEAKER_03:

Jason, you knew this. How about a keyboard? Absolutely right. It is it is a keyboard, really. So, Jason, I am gonna send you a mug or two, all right? But uh, you're gonna have to DM me your address and I'll make sure I get it out to you. But uh no, it is not a guitar, Zachary Levinson. Uh Zachary's an artist, by the way. It is not a but uh it is a keyboard. And uh what's a grace is not now. I need to look up toothbrush history. Why? Why would you want to? That'd be boring to look up. You know what it I mean toothbrush, they've changed.

SPEAKER_01:

I mean, yeah. I mean, and I'm sure the history of of dental hygiene would be interesting, to be honest.

SPEAKER_03:

It probably would be, but it's not, I'm not into it. I don't, you know, it's so important that you take care of your teeth, it's a big part of your health. But um yeah, I don't know. And whatever. I've lost it.

SPEAKER_01:

So all these artists that are doing these performances are super, super busy. How do they even have time to like reset? Aside from doing these performances, I also saw a couple of artists have also been super, super busy being boss women. They're opening their own businesses. Megan the Stallion bought a Popeyes in South Miami, and your girl, Dolly Parton, yeah, is going to be opening Tennessee and travel stops throughout the state of Tennessee that will have Southern Comfort Foods.

SPEAKER_03:

So her name will be on this, but I'm I'm assuming yes, it's going to be there. You know what I mean? So it's like if you go to Nashville and you see all these bars, yeah, you know, like jelly rolls bars, personality and go on and on, Morgan Rollins and all that. But uh yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

So do you think these artists well, if they buy the the business, are they having a direct well I don't know, maybe or do you think it depends on the artist?

SPEAKER_03:

I think it depends on the artist, but I also think you know they got a management company, and whoever wants to open up a restaurant, that management company, if they want to name it after Dolly or go, you know, they have to talk their camp, needs to talk to the other camp, and they need to come up with probably uh some dollars and some agreements, you know, a certain percentage of the you know, that's how it all works. I know Toby Keith was here in Syracuse uh a long time ago, and uh they ended up closing, but uh Toby Keith did come, but it's you know, he what it it said Toby Keith's, but it was a different company running it, and they were paying him to use the name. So that's how they work. So kind of interesting.

SPEAKER_01:

I think that's very interesting.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, Jason, good job with that, man. Good job. Good job. Do you um you know radio? We give away a lot of things. We um always doing a contest of some sort, some big prizes, some little prizes. What's the biggest thing you ever won? Not saying I had to be on the radio, but did you ever win anything?

SPEAKER_01:

Have I ever winning nothing? Nothing really nothing um like that really comes to mind off a dollar on a lottery ticket?

SPEAKER_03:

I've done that a few times. You get the dollars. Do you play the lottery at all? Do you do anything? You probably I don't, I don't do the lottery. Good girl.

unknown:

Good girl.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, I just I can't get into it. I've also like I just don't think like gambling money is my thing. I've tried to go to the casino.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, you know, if you're gonna do it, you gotta do it big.

SPEAKER_01:

That might be what I'm doing wrong. I'm just like I'm just dabbling in, kind of dipping my toes into the water, and that might be why I'm struggling.

SPEAKER_03:

Jason, um getting back to the dolly thing a second, said it'll be a cracker barrel with uh dolly likeness.

SPEAKER_01:

I love that. I think you know that's cool.

SPEAKER_03:

That's cool.

SPEAKER_01:

That's gonna be adorable.

SPEAKER_03:

It's very cool.

SPEAKER_01:

That makes me want to go to Tennessee just to go to a travel stop.

SPEAKER_03:

Go to a Bucky's. We don't have any Buckys around here, and I have the Bucky's t-shirt now.

SPEAKER_01:

We don't even have a wing stop around here, which makes me upset all the time.

SPEAKER_03:

We don't? I thought we had a no, maybe not, which makes me upset all the time. A wing stop? Where's the closest wing stop?

SPEAKER_01:

Utica, which is I believe like an hour, hour and a half away. It's ridiculous.

SPEAKER_03:

Utica's an hour and a half. What are you riding a horse?

SPEAKER_01:

How far away is Utica?

SPEAKER_03:

45 minutes.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay. Well, maybe I'm from yeah, I'm half hour up north, so from here's like an by the time you dig out. Dig out from yeah, and dig out of the driveway.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, that's that's 45 minutes right there.

SPEAKER_01:

We've been lucky though. We haven't gotten any snow, it's been a warm, warm friend, so the snow's all got all gone things.

SPEAKER_03:

If you don't know, she lives in Fulton, New York. And if you look it up online, it's uh what that's one of the towns they that gets a heavy lake effect. And uh, if you don't know what lake effect is, look it up because look up Fulton, New York, 2024 or Swego, New York. Yes, exactly. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01:

And you'll see what we've been going through up here up north. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh my goodness, it's crazy, crazy stuff. I had something else I was gonna talk about here. Um, about men uh and working uh on average, here it is. I found it. Found it because I know I know you're gonna chime in on that on this. And if you're watching and listening and you want to uh comment as well, feel free to. Uh, a survey that I found online says that on average, men do fewer hours of weekly chores after he moves in with a woman. Do you think if a guy lives alone, he ain't doing shit. He he just kind of, you know what I mean? It's just not I mean I would probably do laundry. Well, no, I'm not that way. I I know I had friends that were living alone, and if you go over to visit to have a beer or something, it's like, dude, uh, dude, clean it, clean it out. We got this pile of clothes over here. Those are those dishes from last week, you know, stuff like that.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

So, but you know, I guess when you move in with a woman, you kind of you just tidy. No, I mean they I mean they well, the guy doesn't do as much because she's probably gonna do it. That's what he's assuming, and that's the wrong thing to assume. I'll say that.

SPEAKER_01:

And from a guy's perspective, so of course you go above and beyond to clean what oh, don't say that too loud. What what are you listening to when you clean?

SPEAKER_03:

You know what I love about you? It always goes back to music, and you know, music's in my heart.

SPEAKER_01:

That is I just I've really been listening to music a lot this week. Music's been my therapy.

SPEAKER_03:

Well to be honest, I don't listen to anything because I can't hear it over the vacuum cleaner.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay.

SPEAKER_03:

Come on. I have a eureka and that baby gets loud. But no, well, I don't have it.

SPEAKER_01:

Say you're you're doing the dishes. Whether are you jamming?

SPEAKER_03:

Are you getting you know what I'll do? Um, because uh with uh Alexa being in the uh the kitchen area, and by the way, I got a brand new one. I don't know if I showed it to you yet. It's I haven't seen it, it's really cool. It's mounted on the wall, so it's really cool. But I'll say, uh, for example, Jason runs a radio station in the Midwest, I will say, Hey, I want to listen to the station, and it's just something different. I know because I'm a radio guy, so I'm always like listening to see what other stations are doing. I already know what's going on here, so I want to, and if I'm doing something in the kitchen, or yeah, you're right, if I'm doing the dishes, never happens. But um, we have a dishwasher.

SPEAKER_01:

Do you rinse your dishes off before you put them in the dishwasher?

SPEAKER_03:

It's a subject that needs to be discussed.

SPEAKER_01:

Be that is the subject that needs to be discussed because in uh my household do you always clean that dish off before you put that in the dishwasher.

SPEAKER_03:

Why? Well, I mean, you're not gonna leave you're not gonna leave chunks of meat on the dish, right?

SPEAKER_01:

But there doesn't like it should be rinsed off.

SPEAKER_03:

The why because they advertise why they advertise on TV when you see the dishwashing detergents that you know it dissolves the meat or the food, the particles, it dissolves, it cleans your plates, there'll be sparkling, you know, you'll be able to see yourself in them, you know what? But if I rinse them off, it's like I'm already cleaning.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, I just soap. I just like to help the cleaning process go a little smoother. All right. Um, all right, yeah. And I'm sure that your your dishwasher is filled with you know what I get chunks and old.

SPEAKER_03:

No, no, no, no, it's not. No, it's not. No, it's not. Because no, no, no, because it's cleans it. No, no, but if she sees me doing that, it gets taken care of. Yes, Aunt Nancy.

SPEAKER_01:

Aunt Nancy takes care of it.

SPEAKER_03:

So um the thing is though, if I wash my own dishes, let's say I don't use the dishwasher. Um, I have a bowl of cereal every morning. So before I head for this the radio station, so I rinse the dish out, clean, you know, do what I do, I put it back in the cupboard. She'd be the first to pull it out of the cupboard and go, see? See? Look at see, there's cereal still in this. This is why. Yep, exactly. Exactly.

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Are you somebody that that thrives off routine, like eating the same bowl, like eating a bowl of cereal for breakfast every single day? Are you somebody that's like, you know, no? This week I need to eat cereal, and next week it's gonna be granola bars, and then the week after the case.

SPEAKER_03:

I love cereal. I've really fallen for like it, it's special K with almonds, and then there's another one.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, that's a great choice. I love it.

SPEAKER_03:

I love it. I love it. Sweet enough. And you get ice cold milk and you eat it before it gets all soggy, and it's just crunchy in the milk, everything it's just great. I I also special K with like fruit flakes, like um pieces of strawberry.

SPEAKER_01:

Yes, that's my favorite. Oh my god, it's so good.

SPEAKER_03:

It's not cheap, but it's good.

SPEAKER_01:

You're right, it's very good.

SPEAKER_03:

So I've been doing that. Uh, I used to have a, you know, we would have eggs in the morning or something like that almost every day, or a waffle, and we kind of rotate that around. But now I've fallen into the routine, the skip Clark routine, before he heads to the air chair at the radio station, as long as Verizon's working. Um my routine now is uh it's a bowl of cereal every day. I will I may rotate between the special K with the almonds or the fruit flakes or the strawberries, but it's a bowl of cereal. It's a bowl of cereal and nothing better. My thing. Nothing more, nothing more. Nothing more. Nope, nope. Then I leave the house, I go through a Duncan, get my third cup of coffee. Sometimes I get a Duncan. I am, I am.

SPEAKER_01:

So if you're ever looking forward to it, Megan the Stallion has a um a drink with Duncan right now. I just saw that. So Megan's really, she's really doing it right now. She's got her own business with the Popeyes.

SPEAKER_03:

Ah, crazy.

SPEAKER_01:

She's got yeah. And I just don't know how she well, she's got a team.

SPEAKER_03:

You know, obviously, she has a team, so that's how she's but I don't know if you know.

SPEAKER_01:

To kind of give you some insight on Megan. Okay. When Megan first started, she was really supported by her mom. I watched a documentary on her, so this is where I got this information. It's her um biography. And her mama passed away um a few years into her progress. So she really struggled with like mental health and finding a support and finding people that understood what she was going through. And in that same process, she she went through so much stuff. But um to kind of come out of that, like to be able to first of all be a career woman. She's uh an artist, she's owning her own Popeyes, she's doing stuff with Duncan. She is a um a lover girl. She came out with a new song. I think it's literally called Lover Girl or and she's preaches about how healthy her relationship is right now. Yes, with Clay Thompson, basketball player Clay Thompson. Um, so I just I don't know. I've really been kind of watching Megan the Stalin right now and how much she's doing, but how she's able to do all of it and like be positive at the end, despite all of the stuff that she's been through.

SPEAKER_03:

It's pretty positive and good for her. Yeah, good for her. It's a lot of things. Yeah, I don't know that. That's yeah, that that you just educated me. I'm Megan, so that's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_01:

Now he's gonna start listening to Megan the Stallion. You watch.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, and I mean that's gonna be uh yeah, so much fun. So much fun. What else do you have on that list? Anything new? Anything we need to uh what do we miss? Anything good? Um I know I have a lot of goods. Everything you have is good. You do a lot of homework.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I uh I really um I don't know.

SPEAKER_03:

Do you um what you're thinking? Do you get creeped out being in the dark? Um as an adult, no. Because I know younger when I was little, I never wanted to be dark.

SPEAKER_01:

My room's not dark. No, no, but when I was younger, it all needed to be dark. Everything needed to be dark. I didn't want to see a shadow or or anything.

SPEAKER_03:

It's kind of scary. No, I I think there's a ghost in the closet or you hear a noise.

SPEAKER_01:

Like the window, the light through the window, I would like see, you know, like you would like think that there's like things there, and I was just paranoid. So I just everything needed to be dark, and now that I'm older, I there's a light on, and I think I don't know, that kind of helps in that too. They're kind of coincided because now I'm like, well, if there is anything there, I'll see you. So try me, you know.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, try it. Yeah, yeah, exactly. You'll be caught, yeah. Exactly, exactly.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh man, so um, do you sleep with it completely dark? Or do you need a little light on?

SPEAKER_03:

No, we have a little bit of light on. We have a night light. Um, it's it's kind of in. We have a you know, a bathroom off our master bedroom that's got a night light in there, but we close the door almost all the way, it's just a little sliver where the light will come out. But uh Zach sleeps with every single light on in his room and the shade up, so he just that's the way he is. I don't know how he does it. I could never do that, but every single light is on in Zach's room.

SPEAKER_01:

So I think it's really interesting that everybody kind of has their own way of doing things.

SPEAKER_03:

How many times do you flip your pillow?

SPEAKER_01:

I this is funny that you say this because I actually noticed that I was doing this like a couple days ago. Okay. Every time before I went to sleep for like the past few weeks, I've been like flipping the pillow, just like one time. And I never used to do that. I think it's also because I got like new pillows, and now I'm like, uh, I'm not a pillow. I'm on a clean pillow.

SPEAKER_03:

No, pillows aren't cheap. A good pillow is gonna set you back 50 bucks.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, so I okay, I got some new pillows, and now I'm like sleeping totally different.

SPEAKER_03:

So it's funny that you say that. The first thing I do is I go in, get the bed ready, I flip the pillow. But then I get in and I when I'm laying there before I fall asleep, I'll flip it again because it feels good, it's cool. I'd like cool sheets and I like the cool the feeling of something. I like being nestled and uh I've tried that, she pushes me away.

SPEAKER_01:

Um my goodness.

SPEAKER_03:

No, I don't know. I don't like messing with you. Um, it's crazy. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_01:

Yes, yes, but kind of going back to music, you know how I roll. I think it's really interesting that we can all have different points of view when it comes to music, um, very similar to how we handle everyday life. You know, we all handle things differently, we all interpret things differently, we all have different narratives. And I think that it's really interesting that when it comes to music, you can have something that um, you know, kind of going back to that Spanish music conversation, you know, you're having the art to speak about a certain narrative, but it's being interpreted by your fan in a different way. I think that that's really just so cool and unique about music is that we can bond over that, that we can have a commonality in seeing something, but we can also find that common ground in the difference as well.

SPEAKER_03:

No, exactly. Music, it's universal. It does, and you know, who cares about the genre? I mean, it's one thing that's gonna bring people together, so right.

SPEAKER_01:

Now, the real question is is are you a fan of auto-tune or not?

SPEAKER_03:

No, absolutely not, absolutely because it's not the real person. I mean, it is, but it isn't. It's like doing I'm not okay. Go on.

SPEAKER_01:

No, no, no, no. You finish your thought because I would love to.

SPEAKER_03:

I am not a fan of auto-tune. Because if you can't do it, you can't do it. I mean, there that's what makes you unique. If you can sing a certain way and have certain tones that maybe others cannot, that's great. That makes you different, it makes you unique. Having auto-tune is like you know, it's you're trying to be somebody you're not. And then what happens if you're doing a show and you don't you it just don't sound the same. If you know what I mean. I don't know. Go ahead, shoot. I'm ready.

SPEAKER_01:

I think um I think auto-tune is kind of like AI, you know, as long as it's used responsibly and and collaborated responsibly. I don't I don't really see any harm in it. I actually sometimes prefer songs or artists to have that auto-tune. Um, examples being, if you would like, um, Travis Scott sometimes uses auto-tune. Yeah. Um, and I just like it. I don't know why this might sound weird. I sometimes like when people, when they sing, like when they they rap really fast or they're singing, like I like when their voice sounds like an instrument of its own, if that makes sense. So no, I understand what you're saying now. Well, and I think that's what almost makes him Okay. But great, it's like taking advantage of that.

SPEAKER_03:

So somebody takes advantage of AI.

SPEAKER_01:

Right. Is that but do we I think they're they're kind of coincided, you know?

SPEAKER_03:

Maybe, yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

I know what what uh Jason, go ahead, just tell everybody what uh what market are you in so I get that straight. I know he's watching. Poor guy. I think I don't know if he gets up and does the morning show or not in the Midwest, but uh find out he he listens to Juicy once a day.

SPEAKER_01:

Is that what he said?

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, he says I programmed the country station, but I listened to the notorious big song Juicy.

SPEAKER_01:

I love that he just said that. But that goes to show you that yes, you know, I mean, pretty much a lot of what we are talking about, whether to agree or is a prime example of something like this of this, that like you can you can fit into one thing and and not be confined into one box, yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

He's in Oklahoma City, so that's awesome where the sun is shining and it's 75 degrees every day. No, I don't think so. But uh, you know, yeah, come come to our neighborhood. Yeah, it's gonna be in the about 20 tomorrow. And uh here we are, we're midweek Wednesday. We're recording this and we're also live. But uh yeah, it's been a it's been a crazy day. But uh, you know, it's been a it's been a good time. Miss Ray comes over on Wednesdays and we sit and we have a conversation. It gets me away from uh all the country artists that we do. We we're talking about life, we're talking about everything we go through every day. You know, we look what we did.

SPEAKER_01:

We talked about dreams, we talked about hot dogs, we talked about the the Super Bowl, we talked about everything that uh we talked about ourselves working hard and building careers, even at different ages and stages in our life, and comparing them to big people that you would even think like you know, and that's have gotten their their life figured out, and you're like, you know, everybody's still trying to figure their life out.

SPEAKER_03:

Time out. My life is not figured out, even at my age, it is not figured out. Just saying.

SPEAKER_01:

We're all still trying to figure it out. I'm so worried about my phone. I know he's not gonna be able to sleep tonight.

SPEAKER_03:

And if it's not working tomorrow, I'm just gonna no, you know what? I still don't have bars.

SPEAKER_01:

He's I mean, did you try calling Verizon? Do you think Verizon's accepting calls? No, I bet you they are not right now.

SPEAKER_03:

Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna try something here. I'm gonna I'm gonna send a text to you and see if it's but you know what? I got Wi-Fi here, so it may go over the Wi-Fi. So and by the way, I have Verizon files, Wi-Fi. If you're wondering what we use here on the podcast, I have the best of the best. I got the top level with Verizon and uh, you know, to each their own, but I'm very happy with it.

SPEAKER_02:

So I don't know.

SPEAKER_03:

I don't know if I uh you'll probably get that text. It's very simple, it's a hi.

SPEAKER_01:

I did get it.

SPEAKER_03:

All right, so it's probably going over my Wi-Fi, yeah. But if I was to shut my Wi-Fi off the phone, then your phone wouldn't work. Anyways, thank you for this. Yeah, we will through this, we will, as we always do. You know, I am and hey, if I gotta come back on here and uh talk about the fact that uh maybe tomorrow morning, if I we still don't have this, there's something more up. I'm just saying that's my old man's sense, whatever, you know.

SPEAKER_01:

That's what his intuition is.

SPEAKER_03:

And my day will go like hell tomorrow.

SPEAKER_01:

It'll be crazy, and everybody else's day will be hell.
